SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3, FDA is announcing 
the renewal of the Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (the 
Committee). The Committee is a non-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 compounding drugs for human use and, 
as required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory 
responsibility.
    The Committee shall provide advice on scientific, technical, and 
medical issues concerning drug compounding under sections 503A and 503B 
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 353a and 353b), 
and, as required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory 
responsibility, and make appropriate recommendations to the 
Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
    The Committee shall consist of a core of 12 voting members 
including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the 
Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the 
fields of pharmaceutical compounding, pharmaceutical manufacturing, 
pharmacy, medicine, and related specialties. These members will include 
representatives from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, 
the U.S. Pharmacopeia, pharmacists with current experience and 
expertise in compounding, physicians with background and knowledge in 
compounding, and patient and public health advocacy organizations. 
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 or more technically qualified 
members, selected by the Commissioner or designee, who are identified 
with consumer interests and are recommended by either a consortium of 
consumer-oriented organizations or other interested persons. In 
addition to the voting members, the Committee may include one or more 
non-voting representative members who are identified with industry 
interests. There may also be an alternate industry representative.

amendment will be made to 21 CFR 14.100.

U.S.C. app.). For general information related to FDA advisory
