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 Gastrointestinal Drugs Advisory Committee (the 
Committee). The Committee is a 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 helping to ensure safe and effective 
drugs for human use and, as required, any other product for which FDA 
has regulatory responsibility.
    The Committee reviews and evaluates available data concerning the 
safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug 
products for use in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and 
makes appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner of Food and 
Drugs.
    The Committee shall consist of a core of 11 voting members 
including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the 
Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the 
fields of gastroenterology, endocrinology, surgery, clinical 
pharmacology, physiology, pathology, liver function, motility, 
esophagitis, and statistics. 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.
    Further information regarding the most recent charter and other 
information can be found at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/GastrointestinalDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/ucm102959.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 
committees, please check https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm.

    Dated: March 21, 2018.
