What the document says

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 6507

The Secretary may grant the meeting as appropriate, consistent with the established procedures for meetings and written responses, and each meeting has to be documented in minutes.

What the document actually says

“Any person planning to submit an application for an Rx-to-nonprescription switch may submit to the Secretary a written request for a meeting, for purposes of developing a plan for such application that addresses the potential risks to public health of such switch and the evidence necessary to support such application”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 6507
That sentence, in plain words

A firm that plans to ask for a switch may ask for a meeting first. The meeting is to plan the request.

What this is about

A switch means a drug moves from behind the counter to the shelf. The meeting is where the firm and the agency agree what proof is needed.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
