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: The committee will discuss, make recommendations and

indicated for use as an adjunct to sutured dural repair to obtain 
watertight closure during spinal surgery.

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.
