The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance document for the public, FDA advisory committee members, and FDA staff entitled "Guidance for the Public, FDA Advisory Committee Members, and FDA Staff: Public Availability of Advisory Committee Members' Financial Interest Information and Waivers." This guidance is intended to help the public, FDA advisory committee members, and FDA staff to understand and implement FDA procedures regarding public availability of information regarding certain financial interests and waivers granted by FDA to permit individuals to participate in an advisory committee meeting. The guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance of the same title dated October 2007 and FDA's "Draft Guidance on Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest for Special Government Employees Participating in FDA Product Specific Advisory Committees" dated January 2002. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing the availability of three additional guidances, and one draft guidance, intended to improve FDA's advisory committee procedures.
