Please call the Information 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 November 18, 2010, the committee will (1) Receive an 
update on the Menthol Report Subcommittee and (2) receive and discuss 
presentations regarding the data requested by the committee at the 
March 30 and 31, 2010, meeting of the Tobacco Products Scientific 
Advisory Committee.
    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 submissions may be made to the contact person on or before

between approximately 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on November 18, 2010. Those

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 November 1, 2010. 
Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the number of 
registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably

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 November 2, 2010.
