Joint Meeting of the Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee and 
the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of public advisory 
committees of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting will 
be open to the public.
    Name of Committees: Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee and 
the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee.
    General Function of the Committees: To provide advice and 
recommendations to the Agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on February 25, 2014, from 
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    Location: FDA White Oak Campus, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31 
Conference Center, the Great Room (Rm. 1503), Silver Spring, MD 20993-
0002. Information regarding special accommodations due to a disability,

    Contact Person: Glendolynn S. Johnson, Center for Drug Evaluation 
and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., 
Bldg. 31, Rm. 2417, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-9001, FAX: 
301-847-8533, email: NDAC@fda.hhs.gov, or FDA Advisory Committee 
Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC 
area). 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 at http://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 before coming to 
the meeting.
    Agenda: The committees will discuss data submitted by Armstrong 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to support a new drug application (NDA) 205920, 
for over-the-counter (OTC) marketing of epinephrine inhalation aerosol 
125 microgram (mcg)/actuation (proposed trade name Primatene HFA), for 
temporary relief of mild symptoms of intermittent asthma for consumers 
12 years of age and older. The epinephrine inhaler was developed as a 
replacement for Primatene Mist (epinephrine metered inhaler 200 mcg/
actuation), an OTC product that was phased out in December 2011 because 
of the use of chlorofluorocarbons as the propellant. The committee will 
be asked to consider whether the data support an acceptable risk/
benefit profile of the epinephrine inhaler for use by OTC consumers.
    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 meeting 
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 
February 10, 2014. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals interested in 
making formal oral presentations should notify the contact 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 January 31, 2014. Time 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

[[Page 1384]]

open public hearing session, FDA may 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 February 3, 2014.
