Mahalo and Aloha!
Anyone can attend the TEPRSSC meeting but only those who have signed up to speak before May 10, 2002 will be scheduled to do so. However, it is sometimes possible for attendees who have not "signed up" to comment about the subjects being discussed.
The meeting will be held May 22, 2002 at the Washington DC Hilton NORTH in Gaitherbsurg, MD. It will be in Salons A and B. We are scheduled to be "on" at approximately 11:00 am. The format is that Dr. Howard Cyr will present the "language" that FDA wants TEPRSSC to approve and then we will be given time in the "comments" period following to object to his proposal. If TEPRSSC approves of FDA's proposal, the next step in the regulatory process is for FDA to publish the proposed regulations (or changes to the reg's) in the FEDERAL REGISTER. Thus, this is the last step before the reg's or changes get put "into play" in the regulatory process.
Prior to our time at the TEPRSSC meeting there will be a "strategy" meeting hosted by ITA at the Hilton North. The "room" will be posted at the hotel. That meeting will be from 8:00 am to 10:00 ma - 10:30 am and you are welcome to attend this meeting.
I hope you can attend both of these meetings. If you do, be sure to come up and say "hi" to Ask Don.
