    FDA welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory committee 
meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with 
physical disabilities or special needs. If you require special 
accommodations due to a disability, please contact Kathleen Reedy at 
least 7 days in advance of the meeting.
    FDA regrets that it was unable to publish this notice 15 days prior 
to the Clinical Pharmacology Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee for 
Pharmaceutical Science meeting. Because the agency believes there is 
some urgency to bring these issues to public discussion and qualified 
members of the Clinical Pharmacology Subcommittee of the Advisory 
Committee for Pharmaceutical Science 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).

    Dated: March 25, 2003.
Linda Arey Skladany,
Associate Commissioner for External Relations.
