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: The committee will discuss issues related to possible 
regulation of interventional mammography and receive input from 
professional organizations. The committee will also receive updates on 
recently approved alternative standards. 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/ohrms/dockets/ac/acmenu.htm, click on the year 2007 and scroll down to the 
appropriate advisory committee link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or

Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before

person will notify interested persons regarding their request to speak 
by September 28, 2007.
