FHFA was established on the date of enactment, July 30, 2008, and the Act provides for the abolishment of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) and the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) one year after the date of enactment. These agencies, together with the Housing and Urban Development GovernmentSponsored Enterprise Mission Teams, are combined to establish FHFA.

The establishment of FHFA strengthens the nation’s housing finance system. This new regulator has the authorities necessary to enhance oversight of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks—vital components of the nation’s secondary mortgage markets. FHFA was established to oversee the prudential operations of each regulated entity and to ensure: • That each regulated entity operates in a safe and sound manner, including maintenance of adequate capital and internal controls; • That the operations and activities of each regulated entity foster liquid, efficient, competitive, and resilient national housing finance markets (including activities relating to mortgages on housing for low- and moderate-income families involving a reasonable economic return that may be less than the return earned on other activities); • That each regulated entity complies with this title and the rules, regulations, guidelines, and orders issued under this title and the authorizing statutes; • That each regulated entity carries out its statutory mission only through activities that are authorized under and consistent with this title and the authorizing statutes; and • That the activities of each regulated entity and the manner in which such regulated entity is operated are consistent with the public interest. The authorities, powers and responsibilities of FHFA are contained in Titles 12 U.S.C. 1421 et seq. and 4501 et seq., as amended by Division A of Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654 (2008).

FDA–2006–P–0081 (formerly Docket No. 2006P–0178) and FDA–2005–P– 0369 (formerly Docket No. 2005P–0023)] Determination That TEQUIN (Gatifloxacin) Was Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that TEQUIN (gatifloxacin) Tablets, Injection, and Oral Suspension, were withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination means that FDA will not accept or approve abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for gatifloxacin oral tablets, injection, or oral suspension that refer to any previously approved dosage forms and strengths of TEQUIN (gatifloxacin). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elena Cohen, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6228, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301–796–3602. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98– 417) (the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same strength and dosage form as the ‘‘listed drug,’’ which is a version of the drug that was previously approved under a new drug application (NDA). ANDA applicants do not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain approval of an NDA. The only clinical data required in an ANDA are data to show that the drug that is the subject of the ANDA is bioequivalent to the listed drug. The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the Federal 52357 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ‘‘Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,’’ which is generally known as the ‘‘Orange Book.’’ Drugs are removed from the list if the agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug’s NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness, or if FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (section 505(j)(7)(C) of the act; § 314.162 (21 CFR 314.162)). FDA will not approve an ANDA if the listed drug has been withdrawn from sale for safety or effectiveness reasons (section 505(j)(4)(I) of the act). Under § 314.161(a)(1) (21 CFR 314.161(a)(1)), the agency must determine whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness before an ANDA that refers to that listed drug may be approved. A drug that has been withdrawn from the market for safety or effectiveness reasons is not a listed drug (21 CFR 314.3(b)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that does not refer to a listed drug. FDA currently has pending one or more ANDAs that refer to TEQUIN (gatifloxacin). Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMS) is the holder of three NDAs1 for TEQUIN tablets, injection, and oral suspension as listed in the following table: TABLE 1.—APPROVED TEQUIN PRODUCTS NDA No. Active Ingredients Strength Dosage Form/Route 21–061 Gatifloxacin 200 milligrams (mg) Tablet; oral 21–061 Gatifloxacin 400 mg Tablet; oral 21–062 Gatifloxacin Equivalent to 10 mg/milliliter (mL) (200 mg) Injectable; injection 21–062 Gatifloxacin 400 mg/40 mL (10 mg/mL) Injectable; injection 21–062 Gatifloxacin in dextrose 5% in plastic container 200 mg/100 mL (2 mg/mL) Injectable; injection 21–062 Gatifloxacin in dextrose 5% in plastic container 400 mg/200mL (2 mg/mL) Injectable; injection 21–678 Gatifloxacin 200 mg/5 mL Suspension; oral jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES TEQUIN is an antibacterial drug indicated for the treatment of infections due to susceptible strains of designated microorganisms in the following conditions: Acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis; acute sinusitis; 1 On December 17, 1999, FDA approved NDAs 21–061 and 21–062 for community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, acute bacterial sinusitis, uncomplicated urinary tract infections, complicated urinary tract infections, pyelonephritis, and uncomplicated gonorrhea. The December 17, 1999, approval letter also stated that indications for uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections were approvable pending the submission of certain postmarketing data. For administrative purposes, the agency assigned administrative NDAs 21–404 (TEQUIN Tablets) and 21–405 (TEQUIN Injections) for the treatment of uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections. BMS provided a complete response, and upon approval on October 17, 2002, NDAs 21–404 and 21–405 were retired by FDA. The approvals and all other submissions for the treatment of uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections were incorporated in the original NDAs, 21–061 and 21–062. NDAs 21–404 and 21–405 are not listed in the Orange Book, but can be found through a search at Drugs@FDA.
