in the Washington, DC area), code 3014512539. Please call the
Information Line for up-to-date 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 April 14, 2010, the committee will: (1) Receive
presentations from the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) on a proposal for
revision of the bioequivalence (BE) approaches, specifically to discuss
the addition of a limitation on point estimates; (2) receive
presentations on an awareness topic to highlight some issues associated
with product instability (failure of a marketed product to meet
stability specifications through the expiration date), and the
potential research needs to address those issues; and (3) receive and
discuss presentations from Office of Pharmaceutical Science (OPS) on
the regulatory challenges of drug-induced phospholipidosis (excessive
intracellular accumulation of phospholipids, a kind of fatty molecule,
due to the use of certain drugs).
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
March 30, 2010. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. 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 March 22, 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 March 23,
2010.

that the agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
