FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Announcement of Board 

Approval Under Delegated Authority 

and Submission to OMB 

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System. 

SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System (Board) is 

adopting a proposal to extend for three 

years, without revision, the 

Notifications Related to Community 

Development and Public Welfare 

Investments of State Member Banks (FR 

H–6; OMB No. 7100–0278).

20503 or by fax to (202) 395–6974. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

15, 1984, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board 

authority under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) to approve of and 

assign OMB control numbers to 

collection of information requests and 

requirements conducted or sponsored 

by the Board. Board-approved 

collections of information are 

incorporated into the official OMB 

inventory of currently approved 

collections of information. Copies of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 

supporting statements and approved 

collection of information instrument(s) 

are placed into OMB’s public docket 

files. The Federal Reserve may not 

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent 

is not required to respond to, an 

information collection that has been 

extended, revised, or implemented on or 

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 

a currently valid OMB control number. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of the extension for three 

years, without revision, of the following 

report: 

Report title: Notifications Related to 

Community Development and Public 

Welfare Investments of State Member 

Banks. 

Agency form number: FR H–6. 

OMB control number: 7100–0278. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Respondents: State member banks. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

Post Notification, 20; Application (Prior 

Approval), 71; and Extension of 

divestiture period, 1. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Post Notification, 2 hours; Application 

(Prior Approval) 5 hours; and Extension 

of divestiture period, 5 hours. 

Estimated annual burden hours: Post 

Notification, 40 hours; Application 

(Prior Approval) 355 hours; and 

Extension of divestiture period, 5 hours. 

General description of report: The 

Board’s Legal Division has determined 

that the public welfare investment 

notice, request for approval, and request 

for extension of the divestiture period 

are authorized by the Federal Reserve 

Act, (12 U.S.C. 338a), and by the Board’s 

Regulation H, (12 CFR 208.22). The 

obligation of state member banks to 

make public welfare investments under 

both the Reserve Bank post-notice and 

the Board’s prior approval procedure is 

mandatory. The request for extension of 

the divestiture period is required to 

obtain a benefit. Individual respondent 

data generally are not regarded as 

confidential. However, a bank that 

submits confidential proprietary 

information may request confidential 

treatment of that information pursuant 

to section (b)(4) of the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4)). Such a determination would 

be made on a case-by-case basis in 

response to a specific request for 

disclosure. If examination ratings are 

included in a submission, those will be 

considered confidential under 

exemption 8 of the FOIA, (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(8)). 

Consultation outside the agency: 

Given that most community 

development entities obtain funding 

from a variety of local and regional 

financial institutions, Board staff 

consults with other agencies’ staff to 

discuss applications relating to such 

investments, as appropriate. 

Current actions: On August 11, 2017, 

the Board published a notice in the 

Federal Register (82 FR 37589) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the proposal to extend, without 

revision, the FR H–6. The comment 

period for this notice expired on 

October 10, 2017. The Board did not 

receive any comments. The information 

collection will be extended as proposed.

revisions to several of the notices that it 

is required to publish under the Privacy 

Act of 1974 to describe its systems of

1Along with the distinct changes set out in the 

text, each of the updated notices clarifies that the 

text of Appendices I–III cited within a particular 

SORN is publicly available on the FTC’s Web site 

and has been previously published in the Federal 

Register. The FTC is not making any system 

changes that would require prior public comment 

or notice to the Office of Management & Budget 

(OMB) and Congress. See U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) and 

552a(r); OMB Circular A–108 (2016). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: G. 

Richard Gold and Alex Tang, Attorneys, 

Office of the General Counsel, FTC, 600 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20580, (202) 326–2424. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To inform 

the public, the FTC publishes in the 

Federal Register and posts on its Web 

site a ‘‘system of records notice’’ (SORN) 

for each system of records that the FTC 

currently maintains within the meaning 

of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

5 U.S.C. 552a. See https://www.ftc.gov/ 

about-ftc/foia/foia-reading-rooms/ 

privacy-act-systems. Each SORN 

describes the records maintained in 

each system, including the categories of 

individuals that the records in the 

system are about (e.g., FTC employees 

or consumers). Each SORN also contains 

information explaining how individuals 

can find out from the agency if that 

system contains any records about them. 

On June 12, 2008, the FTC 

republished and updated all of the 

FTC’s SORNs, describing all of the 

agency’s systems of records covered by 

the Privacy Act in a single document for 

ease of use and reference. 73 FR 33592. 

To ensure the SORNs remain accurate, 

FTC staff reviews each SORN on a 

periodic basis. As a result of this 

systematic review, the FTC made 

revisions to several of its SORNs on 

April 17, 2009, 74 FR 17863, August 27, 

2010, 75 FR 52749, and February 23, 

2015, 80 FR 9460. Based on subsequent 

review, the FTC is making the following 

technical revisions to a total of eight 

SORNs in four FTC SORN categories (I, 

II, III and V).1

I. FTC Law Enforcement Systems of 

Records 

FTC–I–5 (Matter Management 

System—FTC). This SORN covers the 

administrative database used by the FTC 

to track and report the history and status 

of FTC investigations and other agency 

matters, including names of employees 

or others assigned to or involved in such 

matters. The Commission has updated 

the ‘‘retention and disposal’’ section to 

include a reference to the retention and 

disposal schedule approved by the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). This section 

previously stated that the Commission’s 

proposed retention and disposition 

schedule was awaiting NARA’s 

approval. 

FTC–I–7 (Office of Inspector General 

Investigative Files—FTC). This SORN 

covers investigatory records in the 

FTC’s Office of Inspector General. The 

Commission is making a technical, nonsubstantive change to this SORN, 

replacing outdated references therein to 

the former ‘‘President’s Council on 

Integrity and Efficiency’’ and ‘‘Executive 

Council on Integrity and Efficiency,’’ 

with references to the ‘‘Council of the 

Inspectors General on Integrity and 

Efficiency,’’ which assumed the 

functions of the previous Councils 

under the Inspector General Reform Act 

of 2008, Public Law 110–409. 

II. Federal Trade Commission 

Personnel Systems of Records 

FTC–II–3 (Workers’ Compensation— 

FTC). 

FTC–II–5 (Equal Employment 

Opportunity Statistical Reporting 

System–FTC.) 

FTC–II–10 (Employee Health Care 

Records—FTC). 

These SORNs relate to FTC employee 

records. The Human Resources 

Management Office (HRMO) is now the 

Human Capital Management Office 

(HCMO). We have revised references in 

these SORNs to reflect this change. 

III. Federal Trade Commission 

Financial Systems of Records 

FTC–III–2 (Travel Management 

System–FTC). This SORN covers travel 

documentation for FTC employees and 

other authorized individuals on official 

travel for the FTC. The FTC has revised 

FTC–III–2 to clarify that the Department 

of the Interior processes and manages 

travel-related data for the FTC. 

FTC–III–5 (Employee Transportation 

Program Records—FTC). This SORN 

covers records relating to FTC employee 

transportation programs, including 

programs administered by the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

that cover certain commuting costs. The 

corresponding DOT SORN is DOT/ALL 

8 (Employee Transportation 

Facilitation). See 65 FR 19475, 19482 

(2000). The FTC is updating this SORN 

to reflect the recent transition from a 

paper to an online application process 

by individual employees through DOT’s 

online electronic system. 

V. Federal Trade Commission Access 

Requests 

FTC–V–2 (Privacy Act Requests and 

Appeals—FTC). The FTC is revising this 

SORN to update the records disposition 

schedule. 

FTC Systems of Records Notices 

In light of the updated SORN template 

set forth in the newly revised OMB 

Circular A–108 (2016), the FTC is 

reprinting the entire text of each 

amended SORN for the public’s benefit, 

to read as follows:

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 

U.S.C. 41 et seq. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

This system, currently known within 

the FTC as Matter Management System 

2 (MMS2), is used to record and track 

the status or occurrence of planned or 

actual actions and events that may arise 

in investigations, rulemakings, or other 

Commission matters, and to generate 

status or history reports on these 

actions, events, and matters for use by 

Commission management and staff, in 

combination, as needed, with matterrelated data from other systems (e.g., 

FTC–II–13, Staff Time and Attendance 

Reporting (STAR) System—FTC). 

Specific purposes of this system (FTC– 

I–5) include: To maintain records of 

employee work and Commission law 

enforcement activities; to make 

workload and budget determinations 

and personnel-related evaluations; to 

assist in investigative and adjudicative 

proceedings, enforcement actions, civil 

penalty proceedings, consideration of 

compliance reports, issuance of cease 

and desist orders, advisory opinions, 

and other Commission matters and 

proceedings; to refer information 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2017 / Notices 50873 

compiled in system records to experts 

and consultants when considered 

appropriate by Commission staff; and to 

use those records to properly manage 

Commission resources. 

This system includes a subsystem of 

records (formerly known as the Office of 

the Secretary Control and Reporting 

System or OSCAR) to record and keep 

track of the status of matters pending for 

a vote or other review or action before 

the full Commission (i.e., the five 

Federal Trade Commissioners). The 

specific purposes of those records 

include: to process and control 

assignments made to individual 

Commissioners; to coordinate the 

consideration of and votes on 

appropriate issues; to assist 

Commissioners and staff in 

investigative, adjudicative and 

rulemaking proceedings, enforcement 

actions, civil penalty proceedings, 

consideration of compliance reports, 

issuance of complaints, negotiation of 

consent orders, issuance of cease and 

desist orders, advisory opinions, and 

other matters before the Commission; 

and to retain records of the matters 

before the Commission, the 

Commission’s deliberations and 

decisions concerning those matters, and 

related documents. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Past and present Commission 

employees, and other participants or 

parties in Commission investigations, 

rulemaking, advisory, and law 

enforcement matters or proceedings. 

(Businesses, sole proprietorships, or 

corporations are not covered by this 

system.) 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

For records about past or present 

Commission employees: Name; 

employee identification number; 

organization name and code; employee 

work activities; and specific 

responsibilities and assignments on 

individual matters. For others: Records 

related to investigatory, rulemaking, 

advisory opinion and other matters or 

proceedings, including name and 

associated matter number; matter status; 

alleged or potential law violation; and 

goods or services associated with the 

proceeding. The records also include 

brief descriptions or summaries of 

planned or actual actions or events 

during an FTC investigation, 

rulemaking, court case, or other FTC 

matter or proceeding. The system also 

includes records of assignments, votes, 

circulations, or other activities or 

actions of the FTC’s Commissioners on 

agency proceedings and matters. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Individual on whom the record is 

maintained and Commission staff 

associated with the matter. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Records in this system: 

(1) May be made available or referred 

to federal, state, local or international 

government authorities for 

investigation, possible criminal 

prosecution, civil action, regulatory 

order or other law enforcement purpose; 

and 

(2) May be disclosed on the FTC’s 

public record under the FTC’s Rules of 

Practice. See FTC–I–6, Public Records– 

FTC. 

For other ways that the Privacy Act 

permits the FTC to use or disclose 

system records outside the agency, see 

Appendix I (Authorized Disclosures and 

Routine Uses Applicable to All FTC 

Privacy Act Systems of Records),

at 73 FR 33592, 36333–36334 (June 12, 

2008). 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

System records are primarily 

maintained and accessed electronically. 

The system can generate electronic or 

printed status or history reports. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Indexed by Commissioner, staff, or 

other individual name, employee 

identification number, matter number, 

respondent’s or correspondent’s name, 

company name, industry investigation 

title, and FTC matter number. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Records are retained and disposed of 

in accordance with Schedule 2 of FTC 

Records Retention Schedule N1–122–

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Federal Employees Compensation Act 

(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., 20 CFR 

1.1 et seq. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

To consider claims filed by employees 

and/or their survivors for compensation 

under FECA based on work-related 

injuries, and to maintain records 

concerning such claims. The FECA 

establishes the system for processing 

and adjudicating claims that the 

Commission employee and/or the 

Commission and other covered 

individuals file with DOL’s Office of 

Workers’ Compensation Programs, 

seeking monetary, medical and similar 

benefits for injuries or deaths sustained 

by the individual while in the 

performance of duty. The records 

maintained in this system are created as 

a result of and are necessary to this 

process. The records provide 

information and verification about the 

individual’s employment-related injury 

and the resulting disabilities and/or 

impairments, if any, on which decisions 

awarding or denying benefits provided 

under the FECA must be based. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Individuals (i.e., FTC employees) and/ 

or their survivors who file claims 

seeking benefits under the Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) 

for injuries sustained by the individual 

while in the performance of duty. The 

FECA applies to all civilian Federal 

employees, including various classes of 

persons whom provide or have provided 

personal service to the government of 

the United States. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system may contain the 

following kinds of records: Names; 

Social Security numbers; reports of 

injury by the employee and/or the 

Commission; claim forms filed by or on 

behalf of injured employees or their 

survivors seeking benefits under the 

FECA; forms authorizing medical care 

and treatment; other medical records 

and reports; bills and other payment 

records; compensation payment records; 

copies of formal orders for or against the 

payment of benefits; copies of 

transcripts of hearings conducted; and 

any other medical, employment, or 

personal information submitted or 

gathered in connection with the claim. 

The system may also contain 

information relating to dates of birth, 

marriage, divorce, and death; notes of 

telephone conversations conducted in 

connection with the claim; information 

relating to vocational and/or medical

reports; records relating to court 

proceedings, insurance, banking and 

employment; articles from newspapers 

and other publications; information 

relating to other benefits (financial and 

otherwise) the claimant may be entitled 

to; and information received from 

various investigative agencies 

concerning possible violations of 

Federal civil or criminal law. The 

system may also contain consumer 

credit reports on individuals indebted to 

the United States, information relating 

to the debtor’s assets, liabilities, income 

and expenses, personal financial 

statements, correspondence to and from 

the debtor, information relating to the 

location of the debtor, and other records 

and reports relating to the 

implementation of the Federal Claims 

Collection Act (as amended), including 

investigative reports or administrative 

review matters. Individual records listed 

here are included in a claim file only 

insofar as they may be pertinent or 

applicable to the employee or 

beneficiary. 

This system includes only claimsrelated records maintained by the FTC. 

Claims are transmitted the United States 

Department of Labor (DOL) for 

processing and adjudication. Data 

maintained by DOL by the Governmentwide system of records notice published 

by DOL for its system of records, see 

DOL/GOVT–1 (Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs, Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act File) or 

any successor DOL system notice that 

may be published for that system. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Employee claiming work-related 

injury; beneficiaries; witnesses; FTC 

supervisors, managers, and responsible 

FTC HCMO staff; DOL; suppliers of 

health care products and services and 

their agents and representatives, 

including physicians, hospitals, and 

clinics; consumer credit reports, etc. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Records in this system may be: 

(1) Disclosed in response to queries 

from Department of Labor, Office of 

Workers Compensation Programs, 

supervisors and employees about 

compensation claims; and 

(2) Used or disclosed for any purpose 

or routine use set forth in the system of 

records notice published by DOL for 

this system of records, DOL/GOVT–1 

(Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs, Federal Employees’

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

5 U.S.C. chapters 11, 63, 81, 83, and 

84; 42 U.S.C. 216. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

To maintain records concerning 

medical treatment administered to 

employees while on the job; to maintain 

continuity of care and evaluation; to 

furnish documentary evidence of the 

course of the patient’s medical 

evaluation and treatment; to document 

communications between the 

responsible practitioner and any other 

health professionals contributing to the 

individual’s health care and treatment; 

to verify the individual’s eligibility for 

certain services; for quality assurance 

(e.g., to help monitor and evaluate a 

contractor’s performance in delivering 

services). 

See OPM/GOVT–10 for a description 

of the purposes for which the agency 

may compile and maintain other 

employee medical records, if any, that 

are described in and covered by that 

OPM system notice. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Current and former FTC employees or 

others who receive services through onsite health units at FTC facilities. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Names, medical reports, opinions,

System No. 09–40–0005 (Public Health 

Service (PHS) Beneficiary-Contract 

Medical/Health Care Records), or any 

successor system notice for that system. 

The FTC currently has an interagency 

contract with HHS/PSC, which, in turn, 

uses private contractors to provide 

nursing, vaccination, and other 

miscellaneous on-site health care 

services to FTC employees. 

This system (FTC–II–10) excludes 

other medical records, if any, that may 

be compiled or maintained by the FTC 

or a contractor on the FTC’s behalf 

about FTC employees resulting from: (1) 

A request for reasonable 

accommodation under sections 501 and 

505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended (Pub. L. 93–112); (2) a 

condition of the individual’s 

employment (e.g., fitness-for-duty 

examination, drug testing); or (3) an onthe-job occurrence (e.g., medical injury 

report). Those records, if any, are 

described in and covered by the Office 

of Personnel Management (OPM) 

Privacy Act system of records notice for 

such records, OPM/GOVT–10 

(Employee Medical File System 

Records), or any successor system notice 

for that system. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Individual about whom the records 

are maintained, treating nurses or other 

medical staff, witness statements, 

supervisors/managers and other agency 

officials, and others.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

Transit subsidy records are collected 

and maintained to implement Federal 

law encouraging Federal employees to 

use public transportation for commuting 

to and from work. Such records are used 

to authorize subsidies for qualified FTC 

employees to help cover such 

commuting costs; to ensure the accurate 

and timely disbursement of subsidies to 

such employees; and to audit and 

otherwise detect or prevent fraud or 

abuse, if any, of such subsidies. Other 

employee transportation program 

records may be collected and 

maintained to administer those 

programs, including for building 

security purposes (e.g., drivers’ license 

numbers maintained for individuals 

who have been issued garage parking 

permits). 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Past and present FTC employees who 

have applied for public transportation 

subsidies to commute for work, or who

that the DOT or FTC may administer 

from time to time, if any. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Data that the FTC may compile, 

generate, and maintain in connection 

with reviewing and approving transit 

subsidy applications filed by eligible 

FTC employees with the online system 

operated by Department of

administers and distributes Federal 

transit subsidies. 

This FTC system notice applies to 

application data about FTC employees 

that the FTC may access from DOT’s 

system, or that the FTC may itself 

generate, in reviewing and approving 

transit subsidies requested by its 

employees, or to audit and verify transit 

disbursements made to such employees, 

to the extent the FTC maintains and 

retrieves this data from its own system 

of records by employee name or other 

identifier assigned to such individuals. 

This system notice does not cover the 

transit application data compiled and 

maintained by DOT, which is covered 

by DOT’s system notice. See DOT/ALL 

8 (Employee Transportation 

Facilitation), or any successor system 

notice for that system, for the categories 

of records maintained in DOT’s system. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Past and current FTC employees who 

have applied to participate in the 

subsidy program; FTC offices; 

Department of Transportation. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

Records in this system:

Department of Transportation (DOT) for 

purposes of processing and distributing 

subsidies to FTC employees and 

verifying employee compliance with 

program rules, and may be used and 

disclosed by DOT under the routine 

uses set forth in the applicable DOT 

system notice, DOT/ALL 8 (Employee 

Transportation Facilitation), or any 

successor system notice for that system; 

and 

(2) May be disclosed to other 

investigatory or law enforcement 

authorities, where necessary, to 

investigate, prosecute, discipline, or 

pursue other appropriate action against 

suspected program fraud or abuse, if 

any.

FDA has regulatory responsibility. The 

Committee provides advice to the 

Commissioner on complex issues 

relating to medical devices, the 

regulation of devices, and their use by 

patients. Agency guidance and policies, 

clinical trial or registry design, patient 

preference study design, benefit-risk 

determinations, device labeling, unmet 

clinical needs, available alternatives, 

patient reported outcomes, and devicerelated quality of life or health status 

issues are among the topics that may be 

considered by the Committee. The 

Committee provides relevant skills and 

perspectives in order to improve 

communication of benefits, risks and 

clinical outcomes, and increase 

integration of patient perspectives into 

the regulatory process for medical 

devices. It performs its duties by 

identifying new approaches, promoting 

innovation, recognizing unforeseen risks 

or barriers, and identifying unintended 

consequences that could result from 

FDA policy. 

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 who 

are knowledgeable in areas such as 

clinical research, primary care patient 

experience, health care needs of patient 

groups in the United States, or are 

experienced in the work of patient and 

health professional organizations, 

methodologies for eliciting patient 

preferences, and strategies for 

communicating benefits, risks, and 

clinical outcomes to patients and 

research subjects. Members will be 

invited to serve for overlapping terms of 

up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal 

members of this committee serve as 

Special Government Employees. 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. The Commissioner or designee 

shall also have the authority to select 

from a group of individuals nominated 

by industry to serve temporarily as 

nonvoting members who are identified 

with industry interests. The number of 

temporary members selected for a 

particular meeting will depend on the 

meeting topic. 

The Commissioner or designee shall 

also 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.

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.
