    FDA regrets that it was unable to publish this notice 15 days prior 
to the July 24, 25, and 26, 2001, Subcommittee for the Center for 
Devices and Radiological Health Science Review of the Science Board to 
the Food and Drug Administration meeting. Because the agency believes 
there is some urgency to bring this issue to public discussion and 
qualified members of the Subcommittee for the Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health Science Review of the Science Board to the Food and 
Drug Administration 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.

    Dated: July 12, 2001.
Bonnie H. Malkin,
Special Assistant to the Senior Associate Commissioner.
