SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of January 26, 2011, 
FDA announced that a meeting of the Tobacco Products Scientific 
Advisory Committee would be held on March 1 and 2, 2011. On page 4075,

changed to read as follows:
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on March 2, 2011, from 8

    On page 4076, in the first column, the Agenda portion is changed to

Receive updates from the Menthol Report Subcommittee and (2) receive

at the March 30 and 31, 2010, meeting of the Tobacco Products Advisory

    On page 4076, in the first column, the Procedure portion is changed 
to read as follows:
    Procedure: On March 2, 2011, from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., the meeting 
is open to the public. 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 15, 2011. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on March 2, 2011. 
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 
February 8, 2011. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. 
If the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be

a.m., the meeting will be closed to permit discussion and review of 
trade secret and/or confidential commercial information (5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(4)). This portion of the meeting must be closed because the 
Committee will be discussing confidential data provided by the Federal 
Trade Commission (FTC) and the tobacco industry.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to the advisory committees.
