SUMMARY: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.65 and approval by the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11 and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the renewal of the Blood Products Advisory Committee. The committee is a discretionary Federal advisory committee established to provide advice to the Commissioner. The Blood Products Advisory Committee advises the Commissioner or designee in discharging responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe and effective drugs for human use and, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 as required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory responsibility. The Committee shall consist of a core of 17 voting members including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the fields of clinical and administrative medicine, hematology, immunology, blood banking, surgery, internal medicine, biochemistry, engineering, biological and physical sciences, biotechnology, computer technology, statistics, epidemiology, sociology/ethics, and other related professions. Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal members of this committee serve as Special Government Employees. The core of voting members may include one technically qualified member, selected by the Commissioner or designee, who is identified with consumer interests and is recommended by either a consortium of consumer-oriented organizations or other interested persons. In addition to the voting members, the Committee may include one non-voting member who is identified with industry interests. The Commissioner or designee shall have the authority to select members of other scientific and technical FDA advisory committees (normally not to exceed 10 members) to serve temporarily as voting members and to designate consultants to serve temporarily as voting members when: (1) Expertise is required that is not available among current voting standing members of the Committee (when additional voting members are added to the Committee to provide needed expertise, a quorum will be based on the combined total of regular and added members), or (2) to comprise a quorum when, because of unforeseen circumstances, a quorum is or will be lacking. Because of the size of the Committee and the variety in the types of issues that it will consider, FDA may, in connection with a particular committee meeting, specify a quorum that is less than a majority of the current E:\FR\FM\22MYN1.SGM 22MYN1 23686 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 22, 2018 / Notices voting members. The Agency’s regulations (21 CFR 14.22(d)) authorize a committee charter to specify quorum requirements. If functioning as a medical device panel, a non-voting representative of consumer interests and a non-voting representative of industry interests will be included in addition to the voting members.

    The Blood Products Advisory Committee advises the Commissioner or

ensure safe and effective drugs for human use and, as required, any 
other product for which FDA has regulatory responsibility.
    The Committee shall consist of a core of 17 voting members

Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the 
fields of clinical and administrative medicine, hematology, immunology, 
blood banking, surgery, internal medicine, biochemistry, engineering, 
biological and physical sciences, biotechnology, computer technology, 
statistics, epidemiology, sociology/ethics, and other related 
professions. Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of 
up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal members of this committee serve 
as Special Government Employees. The core of voting members may include 
one technically qualified member, selected by the Commissioner or 
designee, who is identified with consumer interests and is recommended

    The Commissioner or designee shall have the authority to select

a quorum will be based on the combined total of regular and added 
members), or (2) to comprise a quorum when, because of unforeseen 
circumstances, a quorum is or will be lacking. Because of the size of 
the Committee and the variety in the types of issues that it will 
consider, FDA may, in connection with a particular committee meeting, 
specify a quorum that is less than a majority of the current
