or FDA Advisory Committee 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, you should always check 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 coming to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, 
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The 
committees will discuss proposed changes to the iPLEDGE Risk Evaluation 
and Mitigation Strategy requirements to minimize burden on patients, 
pharmacies, and prescribers while maintaining safe use of isotretinoin 
oral capsules for patients.
    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 March 14, 2023, will be provided to the 
committees. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. Eastern Time on March 29, 
2023. 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 
March 6, 2023. 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 March 7, 2023.
