What the document says
“In carrying out subsection (a), the Secretary shall provide an opportunity for public input concerning the regulation by the FDA of opioid analgesic drugs”
The section requires the Secretary to provide an opportunity for public input on the FDA's regulation of opioid analgesic drugs, including scientific evidence relating to conditions of use, safety, or the benefit and risk assessment.
What the document actually says
“In carrying out subsection (a), the Secretary shall provide an opportunity for public input concerning the regulation by the FDA of opioid analgesic drugs”
That sentence, in plain words
The Secretary must let the public speak. People can weigh in on how these drugs are handled. That input feeds the report.
What this is about
Public input means anyone can send in a view. Doctors, patients and drug makers all can. The law asks for science on how the drugs are used and how safe they are.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
