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, you
should always check the
[[Page 56072]]
FDA's website at <a href="https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm">https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm</a> and
scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call
the advisory committee information line to learn about possible
modifications before the meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned,
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The
committees will discuss supplemental new drug application 017031/S-041
for OPILL (norgestrel) Tablet, 0.075 mg, submitted by Laboratoire HRA
Pharma. OPILL is proposed for nonprescription use as a once-daily oral
contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.
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 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 meeting room will be available at
<a href="https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm">https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm</a>. Scroll
down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. The meeting
will include slide presentations with audio 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 committees.
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see
ADDRESSES) on or before November 3, 2022, will be provided to the
committees. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 2:15 p.m. and 3:30 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, and an indication of the
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before
October 26, 2022. 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 October 27,
2022.
