scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call 
the advisory committee information line to learn about possible 
modifications before coming to the meeting.

    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/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting

    Procedure: On September 18, 2014, from 1 p.m. to 3:20 p.m., the 
meeting is open to the public. Interested persons may present data, 
information, or views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before 
the committee. Written submissions may be made to the contact person on 
or before September 11, 2014. Oral presentations from the public will 
be scheduled between approximately 2:20 p.m. and 3:20 p.m. Those 
individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should 
notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general 
nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and 
addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the 
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before 
September 3, 2014. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. 
If the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be 
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing 
session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the 
scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify 
interested persons regarding their request to speak by September 4, 
2014.
    Closed Committee Deliberations: On September 18, 2014, from 
approximately 3:20 p.m. to 4 p.m., the meeting will be closed to permit 
discussion where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted 
invasion of personal privacy (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6)). The committee will 
discuss reports of intramural research programs and make 
recommendations regarding personnel staffing decisions.
