SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Every day, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) makes important health and safety decisions about foods, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and other widely used consumer products. Transparency in FDA’s activities and decisionmaking allows the public to PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 better understand the agency’s decisions, increasing credibility and promoting accountability. Transparency helps the agency to more effectively protect and promote the public health. In January 2009, President Obama issued a memorandum on Transparency and Open Government calling for an ‘‘unprecedented level of openness in Government’’ and directing the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue an Open Government Directive instructing executive departments and agencies to take specific actions to implement the principles of transparent, collaborative, and participatory government. The Open Government Directive was issued in December. Under the leadership of Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has also prioritized transparency and openness. In June 2009, FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg launched FDA’s Transparency Initiative to implement these efforts at FDA. The initiative is overseen by a Task Force representing key leaders of FDA. The internal task force is chaired by the Principal Deputy Commissioner of the FDA and includes five of the agency’s center directors, the Chief Counsel, the Associate Commissioner of Regulatory Affairs, and the Chief Scientist. The Task Force is charged with submitting a written report to the Commissioner on the Task Force’s findings and recommendations. Over the last 11 months, the Task Force has held two public meetings, launched an online blog (https:// fdatransparencyblog.fda.gov/), and opened a docket. The online blog and the docket have received over 1,500 comments. The Task Force is proceeding with the Transparency Initiative in three phases: • Phase I: FDA Basics • Phase II: Public Disclosure • Phase III: Transparency to Regulated Industry Phase I is intended to provide the public with basic information about FDA and how the agency does its work. This phase was unveiled in early January 2010 with the launch of a webbased resource called FDA Basics (www.fda.gov/fdabasics). The resource now includes (1) 126 questions and answers about FDA and the products that the agency regulates, (2) 9 short videos that explain various FDA activities, and (3) 10 conversations with FDA officials about the work of their Offices. Each month, senior officials from FDA product centers and offices host online sessions about a specific topic and answer questions from the E:\FR\FM\21MYN1.SGM 21MYN1
