ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs will host two public meetings regarding pesticide worker protection issues in October. A Pesticide Worker Safety and Health Conference will be held on October 2-4, 2007, in Arlington, VA, at the Hilton Hotel in Crystal City. The conference will provide an informational forum for federal and state agencies and private sector organizations involved in pesticide worker safety and health programs, policies and research initiatives. The conference will also highlight the accomplishments of the Agency's worker protection initiatives in partnership with our grantees. On the afternoon of October 4, 2007, the Office of Pesticide Programs will host a Diagnostic Tools Workshop in Arlington, VA, at the Hilton Hotel in Crystal City. Because health care providers lack tests to identify specific chemicals and/or levels of exposure that may be linked to the reported illnesses, the goal of this Workshop is to gather information on critical diagnostic needs, the current state of the science, and research needs for and feasibility of developing diagnostic tools to identify exposure to a specific chemical/level. DATES: The Pesticide Worker Safety and Health Conference will be held on October 2, 3, and 4, 2007, as follows: on October 2 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.; on October 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and on October 4 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The Diagnostic Tools Workshop will be held on October 4, 2007, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. To request accommodation of a disability, please contact the persons listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATON CONTACT , preferably at least 10 days prior to the meeting, to give EPA as much time as possible to process your request.

Pesticide Worker Safety and Health Conference This Conference will focus on measuring the impact of current worker protection initiatives and developing effective interventions where protective gaps exist. The conference will also highlight the accomplishments of the Agency's worker protection initiatives in partnership with our grantees. Breakout sessions are planned for Wednesday, October 3 with expert presentations and panel discussions on: Take-home pesticide exposure and families of farmworkers; advances in engineering controls; education and training of farmworkers and pesticide applicators; administrative and policy solutions to better protect the pesticide workforce; risk communication strategies and lessons learned; the role of surveillance of occupational pesticide-related illnesses and injuries; worker exposure assessment, strengths and weaknesses in data collection. B. Diagnostic Tools Workshop One of the major challenges faced by health care professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments associated with pesticide exposure is the lack of tests to identify specific chemicals and/or levels of exposure that may be linked to the reported illnesses. As a result, there is increasing interest in the development of more sophisticated diagnostic tools to help clinicians diagnose and prescribe effective courses of treatment. The goal of the Diagnostic Tools Workshop is to gather information on critical diagnostic needs, the current state of the science, and the research needs for and feasibility of developing diagnostic tools to identify exposure to a specific chemical/level. Planned agendas for both the Pesticide Worker Safety and Health Conference and the Diagnostic Tools Workshop are posted on the website at: *www.epa.gov/pesticides* . III. How Can I Request to Participate in these Meetings? Both of these meetings are open to the public. Persons interested in attending the Pesticide Worker Safety and Health Conference should go to EPA's website to register (at no cost) at: *www.epa.gov/pesticides* .

You may access this **Federal Register** document electronically through the EPA Internet under the “ **Federal Register** ” listings at *http://www./epa.gov/fedrgstr* . II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? In a **Federal Register** notice published on November 19, 1976 (41 FR 51065), EPA consolidated and clarified the requirements applicable to pest control devices and device producers. In that notice, the Agency listed the types of products that would be affected by the notice and further provided a distinction between devices and pesticides. The notice clearly stated that if an article uses physical or mechanical means to trap, destroy, repel, or mitigate any pest, it is considered to be a device. In contrast, if the article incorporates a substance or mixture of substances to prevent, destroy, repel, or mitigate any pest, it is considered to be a pesticide. In September 2005, Agency staff advised a manufacturer that washing machines utilizing silver electrodes to produce silver ions for the pesticidal purpose of killing germs are considered devices rather than pesticides, and do not require registration. However, the Agency has since determined that under the statutory interpretation set out in the 1976 policy statement, such ion-generating equipment would require registration as a pesticide under FIFRA. This notice provides additional clarification of the Agency’s longstanding position, and gives the regulated community time to come into compliance with the requirements of FIFRA. B. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? Under FIFRA, it is unlawful to sell or distribute any “pesticide” unless it is registered by EPA pursuant to FIFRA section 3. EPA has authority to register pesticides under FIFRA section 3, and therefore to interpret the terms “pesticide” and “device” for purposes of determining what is and what is not subject to the registration requirements of FIFRA. C. EPA’s Interpretations of “Pesticide” and “Device” Under FIFRA In the 1976 **Federal Register** notice that consolidated and clarified requirements for pest control devices and device producers, EPA stated its interpretation of the statutory terms “pesticide” and “device” for the purpose of distinguishing between items that were subject to the registration requirements of FIFRA (i.e., pesticides) and those that were not (i.e., devices). Section 2(h) of FIFRA defines “device” as “any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) which is intended for trapping, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest.” Section 2(u) of FIFRA defines “pesticide” as “any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest.” In the 1976 **Federal Register** notice, EPA stated its statutory interpretation that the primary distinction between pesticides and devices was the means by which they achieved their pesticidal purpose. “If an article uses physical or mechanical means to trap, destroy, repeal [sic], or mitigate any [pest], it is considered to be a device. If the article incorporates a substance or mixture of substances intended to prevent, destroy, repeal [sic], or mitigate any pest, it is considered to be a pesticide.” (41 FR 51065). Therefore, the key distinction between pesticides and devices is whether the pesticidal activity of the article is due to physical or mechanical actions or due to a substance or mixture of substances. Some of the types of products that were specifically identified as devices in the notice included, but were not limited to, ultra violet light systems, ozone generators, water and air filters (except those containing substances or mixtures of substances), and ultrasonic devices making claims to inactivate, entrap, or suppress the growth of fungi, bacteria, or viruses in various sites. At the time of the 1976 **Federal Register** notice, EPA was not aware of equipment such as the ion generating washing machine that was presented to EPA in 2005. In addition to the washing machine, EPA is also aware of other ion-generating equipment that is subject to this clarification. The articles covered by this notice are ion generators that incorporate a substance (e.g., silver or copper) in the form of an electrode, and pass a current through the electrode to release ions of that substance for the purpose of preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating a pest (e.g., bacteria or algae). Because these items incorporate a substance or substances that accomplish their pesticidal function, such items are considered pesticides for purposes of FIFRA, and must be registered prior to sale or distribution. D. Implementation EPA is aware that there may be some confusion in the regulated community regarding EPA’s interpretation of the distinction between pesticides and devices. EPA will work with producers of ion generators to identify what data and other information are required to support an application for registration and to obtain registrations to bring such equipment into compliance for equipment being distributed or sold in the United States on the date of publication of this notice. Any person distributing or selling such equipment on or prior to the date of publication of this notice may continue the distribution or sale of such equipment for 6 months from the date of publication of this notice, March 21, 2008. Any producer or importer of such equipment distributing or selling the equipment on or prior to the date of publication of this notice who wishes to continue that distribution or sale after 6 months from the date of publication of this notice, March 21, 2008, may do so only if a prospective registrant has commenced the registration process for the equipment by submitting, at a minimum, an Application for Pesticide Registration Form (EPA Form No. 8570-1) for the equipment. This form should be submitted to EPA on or before March 21, 2008. On the form, only the following information must be provided: Section I, Item 4: Company and Product Name; Section I, Item 5: Name and Address of Applicant; Section II, check “other” and place in explanation “Ion Generator FR Notice;” and all of Section IV. Persons distributing or selling such equipment on or prior to the date of publication of this notice other than the producer or importer may continue to distribute or sell such equipment until their inventories are exhausted. An electronic version of this form is *available at http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/forms* . Further, any producer or importer of such equipment who is distributing or selling the equipment on or prior to the date of publication of this notice who wishes to continue that distribution or sale after 18 months from the date of publication of this notice, March 23, 2009, may do so only if a prospective registrant has submitted to EPA a completed registration package for the equipment on or before March 23, 2009. Producers or importers of such equipment may continue to distribute or sell such equipment pursuant to this paragraph only until such time as EPA acts upon the application or the application is withdrawn. Again, persons distributing or selling such equipment on or prior to the date of publication of this notice other than the producer or importer may continue to distribute or sell such equipment until their inventories are exhausted. The completed one page application, EPA Form No. 8570-1, may be submitted to EPA by mail or by courier: 1. *Mail* (U.S. Postal Service): Document Processing Desk (AD ION) Office of Pesticide Programs (7504P) Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.

In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Health and Human Services, is publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects:
(1)The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the Agency's function;
(2)the accuracy of the estimated burden;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. 1. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection; *Title of Information Collection:* Financial Statement of Debtor and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR, Section 405.376; *Use:* Section 42 CFR 405.376(g) requires that, “ * * * In determining whether a claim will be compromised, or collection action terminated, CMS will consider the following factors: * * * age and health of the debtor, present and potential income, inheritance prospects, possible concealment or fraudulent transfer of assets * * *” Sections 1842(a)(1)(B) and
(C)of the Social Security Act and 42 CFR 405.376(g), provide the authority for collection of this information. In some instances a physician/supplier who is notified of a debt may allege inability to immediately repay the debt in full and may request an extended repayment schedule. Alternatively, the debtor may request a compromise settlement for less than the full amount due. Before establishing an extended repayment schedule or compromise settlement, the CMS's Regional Offices and the carrier must evaluate the provider's capacity to pay the debt. Accordingly, the provider is requested to complete a “Financial Statement of Debtor” form, CMS-379. *Form Number:* CMS-379 (OMB#: 0938-0270); *Frequency:* Reporting: Yearly; *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit; *Number of Respondents:* 500; *Total Annual Responses:* 500; *Total Annual Hours:* 1000. 2. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection; *Title of Information Collection:* National Implementation of Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAHPS); *Use:* The intent of the HCAHPS initiative is to provide a standardized survey instrument and data collection methodology for measuring patients' perspectives on hospital care. While many hospitals collect information on patient satisfaction, there is no national standard for collecting or publicly reporting this information that would enable valid comparisons to be made across all hospitals. In order to make “apples to apples” comparisons to support consumer choice, it is necessary to introduce a standard measurement approach. Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, also known as the CAHPS Hospital Survey (HCAHPS) can be viewed as a core set of questions that hospitals can combine with their customized items. HCAHPS was developed and is being implemented under the auspices of the Hospital Quality Alliance, a private/public partnership that includes hospital associations, consumer groups, payors and government agencies that share a common interest in reporting on hospital quality. Beginning in July 2007, participation in HCAHPS can affect the annual payment update for the inpatient prospective payment system
(IPPS)hospitals participating in the Reporting Hospital Quality Data Annual Payment Update (RHQDAPU) program; *Form Number:* CMS-10102 (OMB#: 0938-0981); *Frequency:* Reporting: Monthly; *Affected Public:* Individuals or households; *Number of Respondents:* 2,820,000; *Total Annual Responses:* 2,820,000; *Total Annual Hours:* 285,200. 3. *Type of Information Collection Request:* Extension of a currently approved collection; *Title of Information Collection:* Data Use Agreement Information Collection Requirements, Model Language and Supporting Regulations in 45 CFR Section 5b. *Use:* The Data Use Agreement
(DUA)is needed as part of the review of each CMS data request to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act for disclosure of data that contain individually-identifiable information. In addition, the DUA is used to maintain appropriate accounting and tracking of disclosures of records from Privacy Act systems of records. While the burden has not changed, we revised the DUA to The DUA was updated to include language to ensure the agreement is a binding agreement between CMS and the User, to ensure the data is being encrypted and appropriate protections are in place at all times, and to ensure appropriate actions are immediately taken if there is a data breach or incident. *Form Number:* CMS-R-0235 (OMB#: 0938-0734); *Frequency:* Reporting—On occasion; *Affected Public:* Not-for-profit institutions; *Number of Respondents:* 1,500; *Total Annual Responses:* 1,500; *Total Annual Hours:* 750.

In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS)is publishing the following summary of proposed collections for public comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects:
(1)The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions;
(2)the accuracy of the estimated burden;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden. 1. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New Collection; *Title of Information Collection:* State Plan Pre-print for Integrated Medicare and Medicaid Programs; *Use:* Information submitted via the State Plan Amendment
(SPA)pre-print will be used by CMS Central and Regional Offices to analyze a State's proposal to implement integrated Medicare and Medicaid programs. The pre-print is an optional document for use by States to highlight the arrangements between a State and Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans that are also providing Medicaid services. State Medicaid Agencies will complete the SPA pre-print and submit it to CMS for a comprehensive analysis. The pre-print provides the opportunity for States to confirm that their integrated care model complies with both federal statutory and regulatory requirements. The pre-print contains assurances, check-off items, and areas for States to describe policies and procedures for subjects such as enrollment, marketing and quality assurance. *Form Numbers:* CMS-10251 (OMB#: 0938-NEW); *Frequency:* Reporting—Once; *Affected Public:* State, Local, or Tribal Governments; *Number of Respondents:* 56; *Total Annual Responses:* 30; *Total Annual Hours:* 600. 2. *Type of Information Collection Request:* New Collection; *Title of Information Collection:* State Plan Template to Implement Section 6062 of the Deficit Reduction Act
(DRA)of 2005; *Use:* The DRA provides States with numerous flexibilities in operating their State Medicaid Programs. Section 6062 of the DRA (Opportunity for families of Disabled Children to Purchase Medicaid Coverage for Such Children) allows States the opportunity to provide Medicaid benefits to disabled children who would otherwise be ineligible because of family income that is above the State's highest Medicaid eligibility standards for children. It specifically allows families with disabled children to “buy-in” to Medicaid, and prevents them from having to stay impoverished, become impoverished, place their children in out-of-home placements, or simply give up custody of their child in order to access needed health care for their disabled children. Under the DRA, States must submit a SPA to CMS to effectuate this change to their Medicaid programs. CMS will provide a State Medicaid Director letter providing guidance on this provision and the associated SPA template for use by States to modify their Medicaid State Plans if they choose to implement this provision. Providing the State with this SPA template will reduce State burden significantly. *Form Numbers:* CMS-10232 (OMB#: 0938-NEW); *Frequency:* Reporting—Once; *Affected Public:* State, Local, or Tribal Governments; *Number of Respondents:* 56; *Total Annual Responses:* 30; *Total Annual Hours:* 600.

Nelson Office of the Chief Information Officer (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4816. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. “Collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the **Federal Register** concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics:
(1)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2)the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Radioactive Drug Research Committees— 21 CFR 361.1 (OMB Control Number 0910-0053) Under sections 201, 505, and 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 355, and 371), FDA has the authority to issue regulations governing the use of radioactive drugs for basic scientific research. Section 361.1 (21 CFR 361.1) sets forth specific regulations regarding the establishment and composition of Radioactive Drug Research Committees and their role in approving and monitoring basic research studies utilizing radiopharmaceuticals. No basic research study involving any administration of a radioactive drug to research subjects is permitted without the authorization of an FDA approved Radioactive Drug Research Committee (§ 361.1(d)(7)). The type of research that may be undertaken with a radiopharmaceutical drug must be intended to obtain basic information and not to carry out a clinical trial for safety or efficacy. The types of basic research permitted are specified in the regulation, and include studies of metabolism, human physiology, pathophysiology, or biochemistry. Section 361.1(c)(2) requires that each Radioactive Drug Research Committee shall select a chairman, who shall sign all applications, minutes, and reports of the committee. Each committee shall meet at least once each quarter in which research activity has been authorized or conducted. Minutes shall be kept and shall include the numerical results of votes on protocols involving use in human subjects. Under § 361.1(c)(3), each Radioactive Drug Research Committee shall submit an annual report to FDA. The annual report shall include the names and qualifications of the members of, and of any consultants used by, the Radioactive Drug Research Committee, using FDA Form 2914, and a summary of each study conducted during the proceeding year, using FDA Form 2915. Under § 361.1(d)(5), each investigator shall obtain the proper consent required under the regulations. Each female research subject of childbearing potential must state in writing that she is not pregnant, or on the basis of a pregnancy test be confirmed as not pregnant. Under § 361.1(d)(8), the investigator shall immediately report to the Radioactive Drug Research Committee all adverse effects associated with use of the drug, and the committee shall then report to FDA all adverse reactions probably attributed to the use of the radioactive drug. Section 361.1(f) sets forth labeling requirements for radioactive drugs. These requirements are not in the reporting burden estimate because they are information supplied by the Federal Government to the recipient for the purposes of disclosure to the public (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). Types of research studies not permitted under this regulation are also specified, and include those intended for immediate therapeutic, diagnostic, or similar purposes or to determine the safety or effectiveness of the drug in humans for such purposes (i.e., to carry out a clinical trial for safety or efficacy). These studies require filing of an investigational new drug application
(IND)under 21 CFR part 312, and the associated information collections are covered in OMB control no. 0910-0014. The primary purpose of this collection of information is to determine if the research studies are being conducted in accordance with required regulations and that human subject safety is assured. If these studies were not reviewed, human subjects could be subjected to inappropriate radiation or pharmacologic risks. Respondents to this information collection are the chairperson(s) of each individual Radioactive Drug Research Committee, investigators, and participants in the studies. The burden estimates are based on FDA's experience with these reporting and recordkeeping requirements over the past few years and the number of submissions received by FDA under the regulations. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: **Table 1.—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden** 1 21 CFR Section Forms No. of Respondents No. of Responses per Respondent Total Annual Responses Hours per Response Total Hours 361.1(c)(3) and (c)(4) FDA 2914 80 1 80 1 80 361.1(c)(3) FDA 2915 50 6.8 340 3.5 1,190 361.1(d)(8) 50 6.8 340 0.1 34 Total Reporting 1,304 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. **Table 2.—Estimated Annual Recordkeeping Burden** 1 21 CFR Section No. of Recordkeepers Annual Frequency of Recordkeeping Hours per Record Total Hours 361.1(c)(2) 80 4 10 800 361.1(d)(5) 50 6.8 .75 38 Total Recordkeeping 838 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Participants who are not present when called risk forfeiting their scheduled time. II. Background Over the years, FDA has agreed to several IT-related performance commitments, starting with computer assisted reviews in the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) I, and continuing with the PDUFA III Electronic Applications and Submission Goals in which FDA committed to implementing the electronic Common Technical Document
(eCTD)and a common solution for the secure exchange of content, including secure e-mail and electronic submissions. FDA met these commitments by implementing the Electronic Submissions Gateway at *http://www.fda.gov/esg/* and an electronic system for facilitating the receipt and review of submissions in the eCTD format ( *http://www.fda.gov/cder/regulatory/ersr/ectd.htm* ). In addition, FDA implemented the first phase of the electronic labeling rule in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at *http://www.fda.gov/oc/datacouncil/spl.html* . Simultaneously, the Federal Government has also been pursuing healthcare electronic standards. In 2004, the President issued Executive Order 13335 establishing the position of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology within the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). The primary purpose of this position is to aid the Secretary of HHS in achieving the President's goal for most Americans to have access to an interoperable electronic medical record by 2014. One of the key initiatives under the Office of the National Coordinator was the establishment of the Health Information Technology Standards Panel—a public-private partnership with broad participation across more than 300 health-related organizations—to identify and harmonize data and technical standards for healthcare. Adding to the complexity of the healthcare movement towards a standards-based approach is the impact this may have on the regulated entities, from the small startup companies and research organizations, to the large multinational companies who submit regulatory submissions globally and are requesting global coordination on healthcare standards. During this timeframe FDA published IT plans to communicate FDA's overall direction and strategy in meeting IT-related performance goals and to describe our efforts in moving towards an electronic submission and review environment. In producing the previous IT plans FDA developed the plans internally and published the plans on the web—for example at *http://www.fda.gov/oc/pdufa/default.htm* . As FDA moves towards an automated standards-based electronic review environment, the agency is seeking public input on the type of information to be included in future IT plans that will provide our external stakeholders the information needed to be in alignment with the program direction and goals. III. Purpose and Scope of the Meeting The purpose of this public meeting is to provide stakeholders the opportunity to address specific topics (see section IV of this document) and present their views, recommendations, and any other pertinent information related to the scope of this public meeting. The scope of this public meeting includes the following areas: 1. The content of IT plans that is most useful to external stakeholders, 2. The data standards and guidance that best support available IT capabilities and any implementation considerations, and 3. How agency architecture and IT solutions can best be applied to support public health mission needs. IV. Issues for Discussion We are specifically interested in hearing comments regarding the following questions and any other pertinent information related to the feasibility of the electronic submission of premarket applications and other regulatory information related to the review of human drug applications including postmarket data sources: 1. What would help improve the quality of electronic submissions to the agency? 2. What would help increase the quantity of electronic submissions to the agency? 3. How would you prioritize these quality and quantity improvements? 4. What data standards are needed to implement these improvements? 5. How should FDA engage stakeholders while developing, testing, and implementing these solutions? 6. What topics are most useful to include in IT plans? 7. What lead time is needed for stakeholders to respond to and be in alignment with FDA initiatives? 8. How should FDA coordinate with stakeholders on the adoption and implementation of data standards? 9. What data standards areas provide the greatest challenge? 10. What approaches will facilitate the most effective and efficient adoption and implementation of data standards? 11. What key areas require new or expanded electronic submissions guidance? 12. What lessons learned and best practices should FDA consider as we transition from program-specific to enterprise IT solutions using a reusable and modular model? 13. What specific concerns (i.e., security, confidentiality, etc.) exist for a third party entity or entities providing services related to electronic submissions and review and how can they be addressed? V. Notice of Public Meeting The Commissioner of Food and Drugs is announcing that the public meeting will be conducted by FDA senior management. Persons who wish to participate in the meeting must file a written or electronic notice of participation with the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES and DATES ). No participant may interrupt the presentation of another participant. Only the presiding officer and panel members may question any person during or at the conclusion of each presentation. Under 21 CFR 10.205, representatives of the electronic media may be permitted, subject to certain limitations, to videotape, film, or otherwise record FDA's public administrative proceedings, including presentations by participants. VI. Request for Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES ) written or electronic notices of participation and comments for consideration. To permit time for all interested persons to submit data, information, or views on this subject, the administrative record of the meeting will remain open until 2 weeks prior to the public meeting. Persons who wish to provide additional materials for consideration should file these materials with the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES ). You should annotate and organize your comments to identify the specific questions to which they refer (see section IV of this document). Two paper copies of any mailed comments are to be submitted, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. VII. Transcripts The meeting will be transcribed. Transcripts of the meeting will be available for review at the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES ) and on the Internet at *http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets* approximately 21 days after the meeting. You may place orders for copies of the transcript through the Freedom of Information Office (HFI-35), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rm. 6-30, Rockville, MD 20857, at a cost of 10 cents per page.
