information on this meeting. A notice in the Federal Register about
last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory
committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide
timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the agency's Web site
and call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to
learn about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.
Agenda: On November 8 and 9, 2010, the Committee will hear and
discuss developments in FDA's ongoing communications programs, such as
FDA's Strategic Plan for Risk Communication, FDA's Transparency
Initiative, and the challenges of effectively communicating with
patients and caregivers about appropriate use of medical devices when a
patient is prescribed a medical device for home use.
FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee link.
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
October 29, 2010. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on November 8, 2010, and 10:30
to 11:30 a.m. on November 9, 2010. Those desiring to make 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 October 21, 2010. 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 speak by October
22, 2010.
