Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 102 / Tuesday, May 27, 2008 / Notices
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
of the responsible party provided under
section 415(a)(3) of the act; (2) the date
on which the article of food was
determined to be a reportable food; and
(3) a description of the article of food
including the quantity or amount.
Section 417(b)(2) of the act requires
FDA to review promptly and assess
information submitted via the electronic
portal. Section 417(c)(1) requires FDA to
issue, or cause to be issued, an alert or
notification with respect to a reportable
food using the information from the
Registry as FDA deems necessary to
protect the public health. In addition,
following submission of a report via the
Reportable Food electronic portal and
after consultation with the responsible
party that submitted a report, FDA may
require the responsible party to provide
a notification consistent with section
417(d)(6)(B) of the act. Section 1005(e)
of FDAAA provides that the
requirements of section 417(d) of the act
are effective 1 year after the enactment
date (i.e., on September 27, 2008). The
failure to submit a report or provide a
notification required by section 417(d)
of the act is a prohibited act under
section 301(mm) of the act (21 U.S.C.
331(mm)); persons who commit a
prohibited act may be enjoined (21
U.S.C. 332) or prosecuted criminally (21
U.S.C. 333).
Under section 1005(f) of FDAAA,
FDA is required to issue a guidance to
industry about submitting reports to the
electronic portal established under
section 417(b)(1) of the act and
providing notifications to other persons
in the supply chain of an article of food.
This guidance is required to be issued
not later than 9 months after the date of
enactment of FDAAA (i.e., by June 27,
2008).
II. Delay in Implementation of the
Registry
FDA has determined that the most
efficient and cost effective means of
implementing the requirements of
section 417 of the act relating to the
Registry is to utilize the business
enterprise system currently under
development within the agency. This
system will permit FDA to establish an
electronic portal through which
instances of reportable food may be
submitted to the agency, and will be
easy to use, for both those submitting
reports to the agency and for FDA.
However, the agency anticipates that
FDA’s business enterprise system will
not be implemented in time to meet the
statutory deadline of section 417(b)(1) of
the act which, as stated, requires FDA
to establish the Reportable Food
electronic portal by September 27, 2008.
Therefore, FDA is announcing a delay in
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:22 May 23, 2008
Jkt 214001
the implementation of the requirements
of section 417 of the act.
FDA expects that the agency’s
business enterprise system will be
operational in spring 2009. In a future
issue of the Federal Register, the agency
will notify the public, including the
industry, of the date the Reportable
Food electronic portal becomes
available to accept reports under section
417(d) of the act. After that date, FDA
expects that responsible parties will
comply with the requirements of section
417 of the act, including the
requirement to submit instances of
reportable food to the agency via the
Reportable Food electronic portal. In the
interim, FDA strongly encourages
persons to continue to report instances
of adulterated food through existing
mechanisms, such as notifying the
relevant FDA District office, until such
time as the Registry and its associated
electronic portal are fully implemented.
III. Request for Comments
FDA is seeking comments on the
requirements contained in the Registry
provisions of section 417 of the act. In
addition to general information, data,
and comments, we request comments on
the following questions:
(1) What obstacles, if any, do
responsible parties anticipate in
complying with the requirements of
section 417 of the act?
(2) How can FDA enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be submitted to the Registry?
(3) What would be an efficient and
effective method for providing and
receiving notifications to and from
sources and recipients in the supply
chain of instances of reportable food?
(4) In addition to the data elements set
out in section 417 of the act, what other
information, if any, would be important
to provide in responsible party
notifications to the immediate previous
source and immediate subsequent
recipient of the article of food?
IV. Comments
Interested persons may submit to the
Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) written or electronic
comments regarding this document.
Submit a single copy of electronic
comments or two paper copies of any
mailed comments, except that
individuals may submit one paper copy.

C4′-Substituted-2-Deoxyadenosine
Analogs and Methods of Treating HIV
Description of Technology: The
invention describes a new use for C4′methyl-2-deoxyadenosine, a nucleoside
analog that has significant activity
against HIV–1 and most strains of HIV
previously shown to be resistant to
other reverse transcriptase nucleoside
inhibitor treatments. In vitro
experimental results show substantial
anti-HIV activity (blocked infectivity)
with no observable cytotoxicity in cell
culture. Mechanistic studies indicate
that this compound blocks DNA
synthesis by reverse transcriptase.
Applications: Treatment and
prevention of HIV infection.
Advantages: Nucleoside analog
against HIV–1 reverse transcriptase with
no observable cytotoxicity in cell
culture.
Potential new treatment for HIV–1
infections including infections by
strains of HIV–1 that are resistant to
nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors.
Development Status: In vitro data can
be provided upon request.
Market: Therapeutic for the treatment
and/or prevention of HIV infection.

Method of Treating Infectious and
Inflammatory Lung Disease With
Suppressive Oligonucleotides
Description of Technology: Lung
disease is the number three killer in
America, responsible for one in seven
deaths, and lung disease and other
breathing problems are the number one
killer of babies younger than one year
old. Today, more than thirty (30)
million Americans are living with
chronic inflammatory lung diseases
such as emphysema and chronic
bronchitis. In addition, approximately
one hundred and fifty thousand
(150,000) Americans are affected by
acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) each year.
Many lung diseases are associated
with lung inflammation. For example,
ARDS involves the rapid onset of
progressive malfunction of the lungs,
and is usually associated with the
malfunction of other organs due to the
inability to take up oxygen. The
condition is associated with extensive
lung inflammation and small blood
vessel injury in all affected organs.
ARDS is commonly precipitated by
trauma, sepsis (systemic infection),
diffuse pneumonia, and shock. It also
may be associated with extensive
surgery, and certain blood
abnormalities. In many cases of ARDS
and other inflammatory lung diseases,
the inflammatory response that
accompanies the underlying disease
state is much more dangerous than the
underlying infection or trauma.
