Public Comment

If you wish to make an oral presentation during any of the open comment sessions at the meeting you must indicate this at the time of registration. FDA requests that presentations focus on the areas defined in the Federal Register Notice. You should also identify which discussion topic you wish to address in your presentation and you must submit a brief statement that describes your experience and/or expertise relevant to your proposed presentation. In order to keep each open session focused on the discussion topic at hand, each oral presentation should address only one discussion topic. FDA will do its best to accommodate requests to speak. FDA will determine the amount of time allotted to
each presenter and the approximate time each oral presentation is to begin, and will select and notify participants by April 12, 2013. All requests to make oral presentations must be received by the close of registration on April 5, 2013, at 5:00 p.m..
