Line for up-to-date information on this 

meeting. 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 agency’s Web 

site and call the appropriate advisory 

committee hot line/phone line to learn 

about possible modifications before 

coming to the meeting. 

Agenda: On March 30, 2010, the 

Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 

Committee will cover the following two 

topics: (Topic 1) Receive presentations 

on the background and overview of the 

FDA Center for Tobacco Products, the 

Family Smoking Prevention and 

Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco 

Control Act), and the Tobacco Products 

Scientific Advisory Committee; and 

(Topic 2) receive presentations on and 

discuss the published literature on 

menthol as it relates to the 

demographics of users, preferential use 

by persons initiating tobacco use, the 

health effects of menthol in cigarettes, 

the effects of menthol on addiction and 

cessation, marketing and consumer 

perceptions about menthol cigarettes, 

the sensory qualities of menthol 

cigarettes, and the effects of menthol on 

how cigarettes are smoked. On March 

31, 2010, the Committee will continue 

the presentations and discussions of 

topic 2; and also receive preliminary 

information about topics planned for 

discussion at future meetings, including 

an action plan designed to ensure the 

enforcement of restrictions required by 

the Tobacco Control Act on the 

advertising and promotion of menthol 

and other cigarettes to youth, and the 

establishment of a list of harmful and 

potentially harmful tobacco product 

constituents, including smoke 

constituents. These discussions are 

preliminary to the preparation of the 

Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory 

Committee’s required report to the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

regarding the impact of use of menthol 

in cigarettes on the public’s health. A 

second meeting of the Tobacco Products 

Scientific Advisory Committee, focusing 

on tobacco industry research and 

documents related to menthol and 

cigarettes, is planned for summer 2010. 

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 Web site prior to the 

meeting, the background material will 

be made publicly available at the 

location of the advisory committee 

meeting, and the background material 

will be posted on FDA’s Web site after 

the meeting. Background material is 

available at http://www.fda.gov/ 

AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/ 

default.htm. Scroll down to the 

appropriate advisory committee link. 

Procedure: Interested persons may 

present data, information, or views, 

orally or in writing, on issues pending 

before the committee. Written 

subissions may be made to the contact 

person on or before March 22, 2010. 

Oral presentations from the public will 

be scheduled between approximately 

9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on March 31, 

2010. Those desiring to make 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 12, 2010. 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 15, 2010.

committee meetings are advised that the
