SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by the

[[Page 62149]]

to provide advice to the Commissioner. The Oncologic Drugs Advisory 
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 the 
Food and Drug Administration has regulatory responsibility.
    The Committee reviews and evaluates data concerning the safety and 
effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products for 
use in the treatment of cancer and makes appropriate recommendations to 
the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
    The Committee shall consist of a core of 13 voting members 
including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the 
Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the 
fields of general oncology, pediatric oncology, hematologic oncology, 
immunology oncology, biostatistics, and other related professions. 
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. In addition to the voting members, the Committee 
may include one non-voting member who is identified with industry 
interests.

will be made to 21 CFR 14.100.

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