Evaluation and Research, FDA.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no

    Procedure: On July 26, 2016, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., the meeting

the committee. Written submissions may be made to the contact person on 
or before July 12, 2016. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Those

intramural research programs and make recommendations regarding 
personnel staffing decisions.
