I. General Description of the Committee's Duties

    The committee provides advice and consultation to the Commissioner 
of Food and Drugs (Commissioner) on the technical feasibility, 
reasonableness, and practicability of performance standards for 
electronic products to control the emission of radiation from such 
products, and may recommend electronic product radiation safety 
standards to the Commissioner for consideration.

II. Criteria for Voting Members

    The committee consists of a core of 15 voting members including the 
Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or 
designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the fields of science 
or engineering, applicable to electronic product radiation safety. 
Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 
years. Terms of more than 2 years are contingent upon the renewal of 
the committee by appropriate action prior to its expiration.

III. Nomination Procedures

    Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified

current business address and/or home address, telephone number, and 
email address if available, and a signed copy of the Acknowledgement

that the nominee is aware of the nomination unless self-nominated. FDA 
will ask potential candidates to provide detailed information 
concerning such matters related to financial holdings, employment, and 
research grants and/or contracts to permit evaluation of possible 
sources of conflicts of interest.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to advisory committees.
