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: The committee will discuss general issues concerning the 
postmarket experience with various contact lens care products. The 
discussion will include recommendations on contact lens care product 
development topics such as preclinical testing and clinical performance 
measures, and labeling for contact lenses and lens care products.
    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 2008 and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee

    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
