Procedure: Interested persons may
present data, information, or views,
orally or in writing, on issues pending
before the committee. Written
submissions may be made to the contact
person on or before February 23, 2016.
Oral presentations from the public will
be scheduled between approximately
3:15 and 4:15 p.m. Those individuals
interested in making formal oral
presentations should notify the contact
person and submit a brief statement of
the general nature of the evidence or
arguments they wish to present, the
names and addresses of proposed
participants, and an indication of the
approximate time requested to make
their presentation on or before February
23, 2016. Time allotted for each
presentation may be limited. If the
number of registrants requesting to
speak is greater than can be reasonably
accommodated during the scheduled
open public hearing session, FDA may
conduct a lottery to determine the
speakers for the scheduled open public
hearing session. The contact person will
notify interested persons regarding their
request to February 25, 2016.
Persons attending FDA’s advisory
committee meetings are advised that the
Agency is not responsible for providing
access to electrical outlets.
FDA welcomes the attendance of the
public at its advisory committee
meetings and will make every effort to
accommodate persons with disabilities.
If you require accommodations due to a
disability, please contact Mr. Rakesh
Raghuwanshi at least 7 days in advance
of the meeting.
FDA is committed to the orderly
conduct of its advisory committee
meetings. Please visit our Web site at
https://www.fda.gov/
AdvisoryCommittees/
AboutAdvisoryCommittees/
ucm111462.htm for procedures on
public conduct during advisory
committee meetings.
FDA regrets that it was unable to
publish this notice 15 days prior to the
March 1, 2016, meeting of the Science
Board. Because the Agency believes
there is some urgency to bring these
issues to public discussion and
qualified members of the Science Board
were available at this time, the
Commissioner of Food and Drugs
concluded that it was in the public
interest to hold this meeting even if
there was not sufficient time for the
customary 15-day public notice.
Notice of this meeting is given under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app. 2).
