FDA regrets that it was unable to

publish this notice 15 days prior to the

November 13 and 14, 2000, Clinical

Chemistry and Clinical Toxicology

Devices Panel of the Medical Devices

Advisory Committee meeting. Because

the agency believes there is some

urgency to bring these issues to public

discussion and qualified members of the

Clinical Chemistry and Clinical

Toxicology Devices Panel of the Medical

Devices Advisory Committee were

available at this time, the Commissioner

of Food and Drugs concluded that it was

in the public interest to hold this

meeting even if there was not sufficient

time for the customary 15-day public

notice.

Notice of this meeting is given under

the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5

U.S.C. app. 2).

Dated: October 27, 2000.

Linda A. Suydam,

Senior Associate Commissioner.
