Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31, Rm. 2417, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-9001, Fax: 301-847-8533, email: [email protected], or FDA Advisory 
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 FDA's website at 
https://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 results from assessments of the 
transmucosal immediate-release fentanyl (TIRF) medicines' risk 
evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS), approved in December 2011. 
The TIRF REMS requires that healthcare providers who prescribe TIRF 
medicines for outpatient use are specially certified, that pharmacies 
that dispense TIRF medicines for inpatient and outpatient use are 
specially certified, and that completion of the prescriber-patient 
agreement form occurs prior to dispensing TIRF medicines for outpatient 
use. The Agency will seek the committees' assessment as to whether this 
REMS with elements to assure safe use (ETASU) assures safe use, is not 
unduly burdensome to patient access to the drugs, and to the extent 
practicable, minimizes the burden to the healthcare delivery system. 
The Agency will also seek the committees' input on any possible 
modifications to the TIRF REMS goals and requirements, as well as input 
on the adequacy of the evaluations conducted in the REMS assessments to 
determine whether the TIRF REMS goals are being met. Comments from the 
public can be submitted to the docket (see ADDRESSES section) on a 
broad evaluation of the TIRF REMS and whether any aspect of the TIRF 
REMS should be modified as well as any proposed modifications.
    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 https://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 committees. 
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see 
ADDRESSES section) on or before July 25, 2018, will be provided to the 
committee. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between 
approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals interested in

[[Page 32136]]

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 19, 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 July 20, 2018.
