Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC
area). A notice in the Federal Register about last-minute modifications
that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot
always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore,

meeting.

FDA intends to make background material available to the public no

the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available on FDA's website at
the time of the advisory committee meeting. Background material and the
link to the online teleconference and/or video conference meeting will
be available at the location of the advisory committee meeting and at
https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll
down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. The online
presentation of materials will include slide presentations with audio
and video components to allow the presentation of materials in a manner
that most closely resembles an in-person advisory committee meeting.
Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the Committee.
All electronic and written submissions to the Docket (see ADDRESSES) on
or before February 7, 2025, will be provided to the Committee. Oral
presentations from the public will be scheduled between approximately
1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time. 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, whether they would like to present online or in-person,
and an indication of the approximate time requested to make their
presentation on or before January 30, 2025. 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.
Similarly, room for interested persons to participate in-person may be
limited. If the number of registrants requesting to speak in-person
during the open public hearing is greater than can be reasonably
accommodated in the venue for the in-person portion of the advisory
committee meeting, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers
who will be invited to participate in-person. The contact person will
notify interested persons regarding their request to speak by January
31, 2025. Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are
advised that FDA is not responsible for providing access to electrical
outlets.
