by section 520(f)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(f)(1)(B)), on March 2, 2022, the committee 
will discuss and make recommendations on the current good manufacturing 
practice requirements for medical devices under 21 CFR part 820, the 
Quality System Regulation, to align more closely with an international 
consensus standard for medical devices used by other regulatory 
authorities.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no

the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the

available at https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/medical-devices/device-good-manufacturing-practice-advisory-committee. Select the link 
for the 2022 Meeting Materials. The meeting will include slide 
presentations with audio components to allow the presentation of 
materials in a manner that most closely resembles an in-person advisory 
committee meeting.

views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before
