Advisory Committee Information Hotline

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established an 
Advisory Committee Information Hotline (the hotline) using a voice-mail 
telephone system. The hotline provides the public with access to the 
most current information available on FDA advisory committee meetings. 
The advisory committee hotline, which will disseminate current 
information and information updates, can be accessed by dialing a toll 
free number.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna M. Combs, Committee Management 
Office (HFA-306), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, 
Rockville, MD 20857, 301-443-2765.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee Information Hotline 
can be accessed by dialing 1-800-741-8138 or 301-443-0572. Each 
advisory committee is assigned a 5-digit number. This 5-digit number 
will appear in each individual notice of meeting. The hotline will 
enable the public to obtain information about a particular advisory 
committee by using the committee's 5-digit number. Information in the 
hotline is preliminary and may change before a meeting is actually 
held. The hotline will be updated when such changes are made. The 
following is a list of each advisory committee's 5-digit number to be 
used when accessing the hotline:

    The hotline will provide the most recent information available on 
upcoming advisory committee meetings, guidance for making an oral 
presentation during the open public hearing portion, and procedures on 
obtaining copies of transcripts of advisory committee meetings. Because 
the hotline will communicate the most current information available 
about any particular advisory committee meeting, the establishment of 
this system will provide interested parties with timely and equal 
access to such information. The hotline should also conserve agency 
resources by reducing the current volume of inquires individual FDA 
offices and employees must handle concerning advisory committee 
schedules and procedures.
