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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agenda: The committees will discuss new drug 
application (NDA) 208630, morphine sulfate extended-release tablets, 
submitted by Egalet U.S., Inc., with the proposed indication of the 
management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, 
long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options 
are inadequate. It has been formulated with the intent to provide 
abuse-deterrent properties. The committees will be asked to discuss 
whether the data submitted by the applicant are sufficient to support 
labeling of the product with the properties expected to deter abuse.
    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: On August 4, 2016, from 9:30 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 committees. Written submissions may be made to the contact person 
on or before July 21, 2016. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 1 p.m. to 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 July 13, 2016. 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 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 July 14, 2016.
    Closed Committee Deliberations: On August 4, 2016, from 8 a.m. to
