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 Gastrointestinal 
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 available data concerning the 
safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug 
products for use in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and 
makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner.
    The Committee shall consist of a core of 11 voting members 
including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the 
Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the 
fields of gastroenterology, endocrinology, surgery, clinical 
pharmacology, physiology, pathology, liver function, motility, 
esophagitis, and statistics. 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, representatives, 
or Ex-Officio members. 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.
    Further information regarding the most recent charter and other 
information can be found at https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/human-drug-advisory-committees/gastrointestinal-drugs-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 related to FDA advisory
