    Procedure: On October 27, 2016, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 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 October 13, 2016. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 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 
October 4, 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 October 5, 2016.
    Closed Committee Deliberations: On October 27, 2016, the meeting 
will be closed from 3:35 p.m. to 4:20 p.m. to permit discussion where

privacy (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6)). The committee will discuss reports of 
intramural research programs and make recommendations regarding 
personnel staffing decisions.
