SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Agency is requesting nominations for 

nonvoting industry representatives to 

the panels listed in the table in this 

document. 

I. Medical Devices Advisory Committee 

The Committee reviews and evaluates 

data on the safety and effectiveness of 

marketed and investigational devices 

and makes recommendations for their 

regulation. The panels engage in a 

number of activities to fulfill the 

functions the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) envisions for 

device advisory panels. With the 

exception of the Medical Devices 

Dispute Resolution Panel, each panel, 

according to its specialty area, advises 

the Commissioner of Food and Drugs 

(the Commissioner) regarding 

recommended classification or 

reclassification of devices into one of 

three regulatory categories; advises on 

any possible risks to health associated 

with the use of devices; advises on 

formulation of product development 

protocols; reviews premarket approval 

applications for medical devices; 

reviews guidelines and guidance 

documents; recommends exemption of 

certain devices from the application of 

portions of the FD&C Act; advises on the 

necessity to ban a device; and responds 

to requests from the Agency to review 

and make recommendations on specific 

issues or problems concerning the safety 

and effectiveness of devices. With the 

exception of the Medical Devices 

Dispute Resolution Panel, each panel, 

according to its specialty area, may also 

make appropriate recommendations to 

the Commissioner on issues relating to 

the design of clinical studies regarding 

the safety and effectiveness of marketed 

and investigational devices. The 

Committee also provides 

recommendations to the Commissioner 

or designee on complexity 

categorization of in vitro diagnostics 

under the Clinical Laboratory 

Improvement Amendments of 1988.

firms that manufacture products that 

would come before the panel, or 

consulting firms that represent 

manufacturers, or have similar 

appropriate ties to industry. 

III. Selection Procedure 

Any industry organization interested 

in participating in the selection of an 

appropriate nonvoting member to 

represent industry interests should send 

a letter 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 

letter 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 re ́sume ́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 

interests for a particular device panel. 

The interested organizations are not 

bound by the list of nominees in 

selecting a candidate. However, if no 

individual is selected within 60 days, 

the Commissioner will select the 

nonvoting member to represent industry 

interests. 

IV. Application Procedure 

Individuals may self-nominate and/or 

an organization may nominate one or 

more individuals to serve as a nonvoting 

industry representative. Nomination 

must include a current, complete 

re ́sume ́ or curriculum vitae for each 

nominee, including current business 

address and telephone number, email 

address if available, and a signed copy 

of the Acknowledgement and Consent 

form available at the FDA Advisory 

Committee Membership Nomination 

Portal (see ADDRESSES) within 30 days of 

publication of this document (see 

DATES). Nominations must also specify 

the advisory panel for which the 

nominee is recommended. Nominations 

must also acknowledge that the 

nominee is aware of the nomination 

unless self-nominated. FDA will 

forward all nominations to the 

organizations expressing interest in 

participating in the selection process for 

the particular device panels listed in the 

table. (Persons who nominate 

themselves as nonvoting industry 

representatives will not participate in 

the selection process). 

FDA seeks to include the views of 

women and men, members of all racial 

and ethnic groups, and individuals with 

and without disabilities on its advisory 

committees and, therefore, encourages 

nominations of appropriately qualified 

candidates from these groups. 

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.
