Here's the attribute description table:

I do not know of a good way to do this, using FME only.

 

If I need this, I use arcpy. You could create a script in FME and send that to a PythonCaller, but I think it is a lot of work still.

Attached workspace does what you want. It needs work for the different field types but I'm running out of time. Manually run step by step, first create gdb, then create dataset, then create featureclass, then create fields.
