previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be 
published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you 
should always check the Agency's Web site and call the appropriate 
advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn about possible 
modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: On December 2, 2010, during the morning session, the

unresectable (non-operable) locally advanced or metastatic medullary 
thyroid cancer.
    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 Web site 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 Web site after the meeting.

    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or

scheduled between approximately 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. and between 
approximately 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Those desiring to make 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 November 8, 2010. Time allotted

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 November 9, 2010.
