committees for 1998. At the request of the Commissioner of Food and
Drugs (the Commissioner), the Institute of Medicine (the IOM) conducted
a study of the use of FDA's advisory committees. The IOM recommended
that the agency publish an annual tentative schedule of its meetings in
the Federal Register. In response to that recommendation, FDA is

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna M. Combs, Committee Management
Office (HFA-306), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IOM, at the request of the Commissioner,
undertook a study of the use of FDA's advisory committees. In its final
report, the IOM recommended that FDA adopt a policy of publishing an
advance yearly schedule of its upcoming public advisory committee
meetings in the Federal Register. FDA has implemented this
recommendation. A tentative schedule of forthcoming meetings will be
published annually in the Federal Register. The annual publication of
tentatively scheduled advisory committee meetings will provide both
advisory committee members and the public with the opportunity, in
advance, to schedule attendance at FDA's upcoming advisory committee
meetings. The schedule is tentative and amendments to this notice will
not be published in the Federal Register. FDA will publish a Federal
Register notice at least 15 days in advance of each upcoming advisory
committee meeting, announcing the meeting (21 CFR 14.20).
The following list announces FDA's tentatively scheduled advisory
committee meetings for 1998:
