SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by 
the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11 
and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the 
renewal of the Technical Electronic Product Radiation Safety Standards 
Committee. The

[[Page 851]]

committee is a non-discretionary Federal advisory committee established 
to provide advice and consultation to the Commissioner. The 
Commissioner of Food and Drugs is charged with the administration of 
the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This Act 
creates the Technical Electronic Product Radiation Safety Standards 
Committee and requires the Commissioner to consult with the Committee 
before prescribing standards for radiation emissions from electronic 
products. This Committee provides advice and consultation to the 
Commissioner of Food and Drugs 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.
    The Committee shall consist 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 two years are contingent 
upon the renewal of the Committee by appropriate action prior to its 
expiration. The core of voting members will include five members 
selected from governmental agencies, including State and Federal 
Governments, five members from the affected industries, and five 
members from the general public, of which at least one shall be a 
representative of organized labor. A quorum shall consist of 10 
members, of which at least 3 shall be from the general public, 3 from 
the government agencies, and 3 from the affected industries.

information can be found at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Radiation-EmittingProducts/TechnicalElectronicProductRadiationSafetyStandardsCommittee/default.htm. 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 document is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. app.). For general information related to FDA advisory
