SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3, FDA is announcing the renewal of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (the Committee). The Committee is a discretionary Federal advisory committee established to provide advice to the Commissioner. The Committee advises the Commissioner or designee in discharging responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe and effective vaccines and related biological products for human use and, as required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory responsibility. The Committee reviews and evaluates data concerning the safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use of vaccines and related biological products that are intended for use in the prevention, treatment, or diagnosis of human diseases and, as required, any other products for which FDA has regulatory responsibility. The Committee also considers the quality and relevance of FDA’s research program, which provides scientific support for the regulation of these products and makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner. Pursuant to its Charter, the Committee shall consist of a core of 15 voting members, including the Chairperson (the Chair). Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the fields of immunology, molecular biology, rDNA, virology, bacteriology, epidemiology or biostatistics, vaccine policy, vaccine safety science, Federal immunization activities, vaccine development including translational and clinical evaluation programs, allergy, preventive medicine, infectious diseases, pediatrics, microbiology, and biochemistry.

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 voting members. The Agency’s regulations (21 CFR 14.22(d)) authorize a Committee charter to specify quorum requirements.
