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 https://www.fda.gov/ 

AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and 

scroll down to the appropriate advisory 

committee meeting link, or call the 

advisory committee information line to 

learn about possible modifications

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agenda: 

The meeting presentations will be 

heard, viewed, captioned, and recorded

glomerulopathy (C3G). 

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 and/or video conference 

meeting will be available at the location 

of the advisory committee meeting and 

at https://www.fda.gov/ 

AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/ 

default.htm. Scroll down to the 

appropriate advisory committee meeting 

link. The online presentation of 

materials will include slide 

presentations with audio and video 

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 Committee. All electronic and 

written submissions to the Docket (see 

ADDRESSES) on or before February 7,

present online or in-person, and an 

indication of the approximate time 

requested to make their presentation on

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. Similarly, room 

for interested persons to participate inperson may be limited. If the number of 

registrants requesting to speak in-person 

during the open public hearing is 

greater than can be reasonably 

accommodated in the venue for the inperson portion of the advisory 

committee meeting, FDA may conduct a 

lottery to determine the speakers who 

will be invited to participate in-person. 

The contact person will notify 

interested persons regarding their 

request to speak by January 31, 2025. 

Persons attending FDA’s advisory 

committee meetings are advised that
