MD 20993-0002, 301-796-9001, Fax: 301-847-8533, email: 
NDAC@fda.hhs.gov, or FDA Advisory Committee Information Line, 1-800-
741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC area), to find out further 
information regarding FDA advisory committee information. 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 Agency's Web site at http://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.
    Agenda: The committee will discuss data submitted by MSD Consumer 
Care, Inc. to support new drug application (NDA) 202211, for the 
partial switch from prescription to over-the-counter (OTC) of the 
oxybutynin transdermal system (proposed trade name OXYTROL FOR WOMEN). 
The proposed OTC use is ``treats overactive bladder in women.'' The 
data to be discussed will include a summary of the postmarketing 
experience with the oxybutynin transdermal system, and the results of 
consumer studies, including label comprehension studies, self-selection 
studies, and an actual use study. The committee will be asked to 
consider whether the data support the appropriate and safe use of 
oxybutynin transdermal system by OTC consumers.
    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. Background material is 
available at http://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 committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before 
October 26, 2012. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled 
between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals interested in 
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 October 18, 2012. 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 October 19, 2012.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised 
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical 
outlets.

meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with 
physical disabilities or special needs. If you require special
