Public Input on Public Health; Open Public Forum

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Consumer Affairs and Office of Regulatory Affairs, Pacific Region, is announcing a series of open public forums entitled: ``Public Input on Public Health, FDA Listens to You, A Town Hall Meeting.'' The purpose of the forums is to provide an opportunity for FDA's primary stakeholders, U.S. consumers, to have an open dialogue with FDA's senior policy makers about their consumer protection concerns. FDA plans to use the information in the development of the Pacific Region Strategic Plan and in the development of FDA's nation wide priorities. Under the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA), FDA was mandated by Congress to have ongoing consultations with its stakeholders on how FDA can best meet their regulatory requirements and to protect the public health. Two issues of particular concern, this year, are strengthening the science base of the agency and improving risk-based communication with the public.
