Federal Advisory Committee on Prosthetics and Special-Disabilities 
Programs will be held on May 19-20, 2015, in Room 630 at VA Central

    No time will be allocated for receiving oral presentations from the

written statements for review by the Committee in advance of the 
meeting to Mr. Larry N. Long, Designated Federal Officer, Veterans 
Health Administration, Patient Care Services, Rehabilitation and 
Prosthetic Services (10P4RR), VA, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20420, or by email at [email protected]. Because the meeting is being 
held in a government building, a photo I.D. must be presented at the
