Request for Nominations From Industry Organizations Interested in Participating in the Selection Process for Nonvoting Industry Representatives and Request for Nominations for Nonvoting Industry Representatives on the Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee, 4316-4317 [2024-01154]

Download as PDF 4316 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Notices With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. State Enforcement Notifications—21 CFR 100.2(d) OMB Control Number 0275—Extension This information collection supports Agency regulations. Specifically, section 310(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 337(b)) authorizes a State to enforce certain sections of the FD&C Act in their own name and within their own jurisdiction. However, before doing so, a State must provide notice to FDA according to § 100.2 (21 CFR 100.2). The information required in a letter of notification under § 100.2(d) enables us to identify the food against which a State intends to take action and to advise that State whether Federal enforcement action against the food has been taken or is in process. With certain narrow exceptions, Federal enforcement action precludes State action under the FD&C Act. We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 21 CFR section; activity Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours 100.2(d); notification ............................................................ 1 1 1 10 10 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Based on a review of the information collection since our last request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden estimate. The estimated reporting burden for § 100.2(d) is minimal because enforcement notifications are seldom used by States. During the last 3 years, we have not received any new enforcement notifications; therefore, we estimate that one or fewer notifications will be submitted annually. Although we have not received any new enforcement notifications in the last 3 years, these information collection provisions should be extended to provide for the potential future need of a State government to submit enforcement notifications informing us when it intends to take enforcement action under the FD&C Act against a particular food located in the State.

[[Page 4317]]

I. Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee

    The Committee reviews and evaluates available data relating to the 
safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use of human cells, human 
tissues, gene transfer therapies, and xenotransplantation products, 
which are intended for transplantation, implantation, infusion, and 
transfer in the prevention and treatment of a broad spectrum of human 
diseases and in the reconstruction, repair, or replacement of tissues 
for various conditions. 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 of Food and Drugs.

II. Selection Procedure

    Any industry organization interested in participating in the 
selection of an appropriate nonvoting member to represent industry 
interests should send a letter via email stating that interest to the 
FDA contact (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) within 30 days of 
publication of this document (see DATES). Within the subsequent 30 
days, FDA will send a notification to each organization that has 
expressed an interest, attaching a complete list of all such 
organizations; and a list of all nominees along with their current 
r[eacute]sum[eacute]s. The letter will also state that it is the 
responsibility of the interested organizations to confer with one 
another and to select a candidate, within 60 days after the receipt of 
the FDA letter, to serve as the nonvoting member to represent industry

representative. Nomination must include a current, complete

participate in the selection process.
    FDA seeks to include the views of women and men, members of all
