Good afternoon:

FDA is holding a public meeting on July 26 at Natcher Auditorium in Bethesda
Maryland to discuss current regulatory activity relating to barcoding human
drugs and biologics. Your organizations have been identified as having
expertise and interest in the development of this regulation. Part of this
discussion will be arranged as panel discussions and your groups have been
designated as appropriate to participate on either a health professional or
industry panel. I am including two attachments, one is a letter explaining
the content and logistics of the public meeting and the other is the meeting
notice that published in the Federal Register on June 18. This FR notice
articulates a number of questions where FDA is seeking specific feedback.
We hope you will be able to join us for the meeting. If your group would
like to participate, please identify who will be representing your group.
Please remember that a written summary of presentations is due to the agency
by July 12.

Thanks and happy July 4!

Mary
