SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 41 CFR 102–3.65 and approval by the
Department of Health and Human
Services and by the General Services
Administration, FDA is announcing the
renewal of the Patient Engagement
Advisory Committee (the Committee).
The Committee is a discretionary
Federal advisory committee established
to provide advice to the Commissioner.
The Patient Engagement Advisory
Committee advises the Commissioner or
designee in discharging responsibilities
as they relate to helping to ensure safe
and effective devices for human use
and, as required, any other product for
which FDA has regulatory
responsibility.
The Committee provides advice to the
Commissioner of Food and Drugs or
designee on complex scientific, issues
relating to medical devices, the
regulation of devices, and their use by
patients. Agency guidance and policies,
clinical trial or registry design, patient
preference study design, benefit-risk
determinations, device labeling, unmet
clinical needs, available alternatives,
patient reported outcomes, and devicerelated quality of life measures or health
status issues are among the topics that
may be considered by the Committee.
The Committee provides relevant skills
and perspectives to improve
communication of benefits, risks, and
clinical outcomes, and increase
integration of patient perspectives into
the regulatory process for medical
devices. It performs its duties by
identifying new approaches, promoting
innovation, recognizing unforeseen risks
or barriers, and identifying unintended
consequences that could result from
FDA policy.
Pursuant to its Charter, the Committee
shall consist of a core of nine voting
members, including the Chair. Members
and the Chair are selected by the
Commissioner or designee from among
authorities who are knowledgeable in
areas such as clinical research, patient
experience, and healthcare needs of
patient groups in the United States, or
who are experienced in the work of
patient and health professional
organizations, methodologies for patient
reported outcomes and eliciting patient
preferences, and strategies for
communicating benefits, risks, and
clinical outcomes to patients and
research subjects, as well as other
relevant areas. Members will be invited

to serve for overlapping terms of up to
4 years. Non-Federal members of this
committee will serve as either as Special
Government Employees or non-voting
representatives. Federal members will
serve as Regular Government
Employees. The core of voting members
may include one technically qualified
member, selected by the Commissioner
or designee, who serves as an
individual, but who is identified with
consumer interests and is recommended
by either a consortium of consumeroriented organizations or other
interested persons. The Commissioner
or designee shall also have the authority
to select from a group of individuals
nominated by industry to serve
temporarily as nonvoting members who
are identified with industry interests.
The number of temporary members
selected for a particular meeting will
depend on the meeting topic.
The Commissioner or designee shall
also 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
voting members. The Agency’s
regulations (21 CFR 14.22(d)) authorize
a committee charter to specify quorum
requirements.
Further information regarding the
most recent charter and other
information can be found at https://
www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/
committees-and-meeting-materials/
patient-engagement-advisory-committee
or by contacting the Designated Federal
Officer (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT). In light of the fact that no
change has been made to the committee
name or description of duties, no
amendment will be made to 21 CFR
14.100.
This notice is issued under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app.). For general information
