CFSAN public calendar

Executive Summary
CHPA recommends FDA's Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition develop a "six-to-nine month public calendar of its planned activities and events," noting "clearly, development of a useful strategic plan would help define this calendar." The Consumer Healthcare Products Association makes the suggestions in follow-up comments to both the June 8 stakeholders meeting on operations issues related to dietary supplements and FDA's May 13 call for comments on the same issue. CHPA also wants CFSAN to provide more notification of upcoming public meetings, noting the typical two-week notice is insufficient to develop comments. On the OTC side, CHPA notes, the association is "typically given six to eight weeks or more to prepare for FDA advisory committees." CHPA notes CFSAN has agreed to help facilitate the transfer of information to its Nonprescription Electronic Library - Dietary Supplements (NEL-DS)
