information on this meeting. 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 and call the appropriate advisory committee hot 
line/phone line to learn about possible modifications before coming 
to the meeting.
    Agenda: On January 10 and 11, 2011, the Committee will continue 
to (1) receive updates from the Menthol Report Subcommittee and (2) 
receive and discuss presentations regarding the data requested by 
the Committee at the March 30 and 31, 2010, meeting of the Tobacco 
Products Scientific Advisory Committee.
    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 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 
December 30, 2010. Oral presentations from the public will be 
scheduled between approximately 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on January 10, 
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 December 21, 2010. 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 December 22, 2010.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to 
electrical outlets.
    FDA welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory 
committee meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons 
with physical disabilities or special needs. If you require special 
accommodations due to a disability, please contact Caryn Cohen at 
least 7 days in advance of the meeting.

committee meetings. Please visit our Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/AboutAdvisoryCommittees/ucm111462.htm for
