be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you

advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee 
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to 
the meeting.
    Agenda: The committee will discuss issues related to clinical 
development programs and clinical trial designs for antibacterial 
products for the treatment of patients with serious bacterial 
infections for which there are limited or no therapeutic options.
    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 link.
    Procedure: 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 
November 19, 2014. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 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 November 10, 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 November 12, 2014.
