Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 32, Rm. 3363, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301-796-
9151, Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>, email: [email protected], or FDA Advisory
Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138<PHONE_NUMBER> in the
Washington, DC area), to find out further information regarding FDA
advisory committee information. 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 FDA's website 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: On March 5 and 6, 2018, the committee will discuss the
impact of pregnancy and lactation labeling information in prescription
drug and biological products as modified under the Pregnancy and
Lactation Labeling Rule. The Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule
(PLLR) was implemented in June 2015, and required changes to labeling
of information in prescription drug and biological products to better
communicate clinically relevant information to health care providers on
risks associated with medication exposure during pregnancy and
lactation. The Agency seeks input and recommendations on: (1) How
information in PLLR labeling is being perceived and used by health care
providers and other stakeholders, (2) factors that are critical to
health care providers' interpretation of the data and counseling of
pregnant women on the risks and benefits of a medication, and (3) how
to convey risk information to health care providers to accurately and
adequately inform risk-benefit considerations for medication use during
pregnancy.
    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 website 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 website 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 26, 2018. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 12:45 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. on March 5, 2018, and
between 9:10 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on March 6, 2018. 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 16, 2018.
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 February 20, 2018.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised
that FDA is not responsible for providing access to electrical outlets.
