| FDA
has scheduled two public meetings intended to obtain comments
about FDA's current good manufacturing procedures (GMPs)
in manufacturing, packing, or holding human food regulations.
FDA believes that these comments may be useful in determining
appropriate revisions to the GMP regulations.
The
first meeting will be held in College Park, MD, on July
19, 2004. This meeting was originally planned for June 11,
2004; however, the previous meeting was cancelled as a result
of an Executive order closing all executive departments
of the Federal Government on that day, as a mark of respect
for former President Ronald Reagan.
The
second public meeting is scheduled for July 21, 2004, in
Chicago, IL.
The
complete Federal Register notice announcing the current
dates for these public meetings is on FDA's website at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/fr040614.html.
The original May 21, 2004, Federal Register notice for the
meetings is online at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/fr040521.html,
and it includes information about how to register for the
meetings, how to request an opportunity to make oral comments
at a meeting, and how to submit written comments, as well
as a set of questions to help focus oral and written comments
to FDA. |
