SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of April 12, 2010 (75 FR 18514), FDA issued 
a notice announcing a public workshop that is intended to assist the 
agency in developing draft guidance for industry on describing 
practices for naming, labeling, and packaging drugs and biologics to 
reduce medication errors. The April 12, 2010, notice invited 
individuals interested in presenting to the panelists to register by 
May 25, 2010. Registration to present at the workshop is closed. All 
others are welcome to attend on a first-come, first-served basis.
    Because of a greater than anticipated response for attending the 
public workshop, FDA is announcing in this notice a new location.

II. New Location for the Public Workshop

    The new location will be the Holiday Inn College Park (see 
ADDRESSES). Directions and information on parking, accommodations, and 
transportation options can be found at www.holidayinncollegepark.com.

    Dated: June 8, 2010.
