    Committee (the committee) in FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.
        FDA has a special interest in ensuring that women, minority groups, 
    and individuals with disabilities are adequately represented on 
    advisory committees and, therefore, the agency encourages nominations 
    of appropriately qualified candidates from these groups.
    
    DATES: No cutoff date is established for receipt of nominations.
    
    ADDRESSES: All nominations for membership should be sent to Jacquelyn

    Veterinary Medicine (HFV-200), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
    Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-5920.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is requesting nominations for members to 
    serve on the committee. The function of the committee is to review and 
    evaluate available data concerning safety and effectiveness of marketed 
    and investigational new animal drugs, feeds, and devices for use in the 
    treatment and prevention of animal disease and increased animal 
    production.
    
    Criteria for Members
    
        Persons nominated for membership on the committee shall have 
    adequately diversified experience that is appropriate to the work of 
    the committee in such fields as companion animal medicine, food animal 
    medicine, avian medicine, microbiology, biometrics, toxicology, 
    pathology, pharmacology, animal science, epidemiology and chemistry.
        The specialized training and experience necessary to qualify the 
    nominee as experts suitable for appointment are subject to review, but 
    may include experience in medical practice, teaching, and/or research 
    relevant to the field of activity of the committee. The term of office 
    is 4 years.
    
    Nomination Procedures
    
        Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified persons 
    for membership on the committee. Nominations shall state that the 
    nominee is aware of the nomination, is willing to serve as a member of 
    the committee, and appears to have no conflict of interest that would 
    preclude committee membership. A current copy of nominee's curriculum 
    vitae should be included. Potential candidates will be asked by FDA to 
    provide detailed information concerning such matters as employment, 
    financial holdings, consultancies, and research grants or contracts in 
    order to permit evaluation of possible sources of conflict of interest.
