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 
Psychopharmacologic Drugs 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 drugs for human use and, as 
required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory 
responsibility.
    The Committee reviews and evaluates data concerning the safety and 
effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products for 
use in the practice of psychiatry and related fields and makes 
appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
    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 
knowledgeable in the fields of psychopharmacology, psychiatry, 
epidemiology or statistics, and related specialties. Members will be 
invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 years. Non-Federal 
members of this committee will serve as Special Government Employees or 
representatives. Federal members will serve as Regular Government 
Employees or Ex-Officios. 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 representative member who is identified with industry 
interests. There may also be an alternate industry representative.
    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 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, an additional non-voting 
representative member of consumer interests and an additional non-
voting representative member of industry interests will be included in 
addition to the voting members.
