call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn 
about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.

    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

notify interested persons regarding their request to speak by June 2, 
2009.
