    Therefore, notice is given to the holders of the approved 
applications listed in the table and to all other interested persons 
that the Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research 
proposes to issue an order under section 505(e) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(e)) withdrawing 
approval of the applications and all amendments and supplements thereto 
on the ground that the applicants have failed to submit reports 
required under Sec.  314.81.
    In accordance with section 505 of the act and 21 CFR part 314, the 
applicants are hereby provided an opportunity for a hearing to show why 
the applications listed previously should not be withdrawn and an 
opportunity to raise, for administrative determination, all issues 
relating to the legal status of the drug products covered by these 
applications.
    An applicant who decides to seek a hearing shall file: (1) A 
written notice of participation and request for a hearing (see DATES) 
and (2) the data, information, and analyses relied on to demonstrate 
that there is a genuine and substantial issue of fact that requires a 
hearing (see DATES). Any other interested person may also submit 
comments on this document. The procedures and requirements governing 
this notice of opportunity for a hearing, notice of participation and 
request for a hearing, information and analyses to justify a hearing, 
other comments, and a grant or denial of a hearing are contained in 
Sec.  314.200 and 21 CFR part 12.
    The failure of an applicant to file a timely written notice of 
participation and request for a hearing, as required by Sec.  314.200, 
constitutes an election by that applicant not to avail itself of the 
opportunity for a hearing concerning the proposal to withdraw approval 
of the applications and constitutes a waiver of any contentions 
concerning the legal status of the drug products. FDA will then 
withdraw approval of the applications and the drug products may not 
thereafter lawfully be marketed, and FDA will begin appropriate 
regulatory action to remove the products from the market. Any new drug 
product marketed without an approved NDA is subject to regulatory 
action at any time.
    A request for a hearing may not rest upon mere allegations or 
denials, but must present specific facts showing that there is a 
genuine and substantial issue of fact that requires a hearing. Reports 
submitted to remedy the deficiencies must be complete in all respects 
in accordance with Sec.  314.81. If the submission is not complete or 
if a request for a hearing is not made in the required format or with 
the required reports, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the 
Commissioner) will enter summary judgment against the person who 
requests the hearing, making findings and conclusions, and denying a 
hearing.
    All submissions under this notice of opportunity for a hearing must 
be filed in four copies. Except for data and information prohibited 
from public disclosure under section 301 of the act (21 U.S.C. 331(j)) 
or 18 U.S.C. 1905, the submissions may be seen in the Division of 
Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday 
through Friday.
    This notice is issued under the act (section 505 (21 U.S.C. 355)) 
and under authority delegated to the Director, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, by the Commissioner.

    Dated: January 19, 2005.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
