List of Bulk Drug Substances That May Be Used by an Outsourcing Facility To Compound Drugs for Use in Animals; Extension of Nomination Period, 42827-42828 [2015-17729]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 138 / Monday, July 20, 2015 / Notices presented supports the conclusion that the conduct upon which Dr. Brancato’s debarment was based is unlikely to recur. For these reasons, the Agency finds that termination of Dr. Brancato’s debarment serves the interest of justice and will not pose a threat to the integrity of the drug approval process. Under section 306(d)(4)(D) of the FD&C Act, the period of debarment of an individual who qualifies for special termination may be limited to less than permanent but to no less than 1 year. Dr. Brancato’s period of debarment, which commenced on January 6, 1994, has lasted more than 1 year. Accordingly, the Director of the Office of Enforcement and Import Operations, under section 306(d)(4) of the FD&C Act and under authority delegated to the Director (Staff Manual Guide 1410.35), finds that David J. Brancato’s application for special termination of debarment should be granted, and that the period of debarment should terminate immediately, thereby allowing him to provide services in any capacity to a person with an approved or pending drug product application. The Director of Enforcement and Import Operations further finds that because the Agency is granting Dr. Brancato’s application, an informal hearing under section 306(d)(4)(C) of the FD&C Act is unnecessary. As a result of the foregoing findings, Dr. David J. Brancato’s debarment is terminated effective (see DATES) (21 U.S.C. 335a(d)(4)(C) and (d)(4)(D)). Dated: July 15, 2015.

ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that the drug products listed in this document were not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination means that FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw approval of abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) that refer to these drug products, and it will allow FDA to continue to approve ANDAs that refer to the products as long as they SUMMARY: Stacy Kane, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6207, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301–796–8363. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–417) (the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate versions of drug products approved under an ANDA procedure. ANDA sponsors 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. ANDAs applicants do not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain approval of a new drug application (NDA). The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 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.’’ Under FDA regulations, a drug is 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 (21 CFR 314.162). Under § 314.161(a) (21 CFR 314.161(a)), the Agency must determine whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness: (1) Before an ANDA that refers to that listed drug may be approved, (2) whenever a listed drug is voluntarily withdrawn from sale and ANDAs that refer to the listed drug have been approved, and (3) when a person petitions for such a determination under 21 CFR 10.25(a) and 10.30. Section 314.161(d) provides that if FDA determines that a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for safety or effectiveness reasons, the Agency will initiate proceedings that could result in the withdrawal of approval of the ANDAs that refer to the listed drug. FDA has become aware that the drug products listed in the table are no longer being marketed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of May 19, 2015 (80 FR 28622), FDA 
published a notice with a 90-day nomination period for the list of bulk 
drug substances that may be used by a facility registered as an 
outsourcing facility under section 503B of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
353B) to compound drugs for use in animals in accordance with FDA's 
draft GFI #230, ``Compounding Animal Drugs from Bulk Drug Substances.'' 
That notice describes the information that should be provided to the 
FDA in support of each nomination.
    FDA has received a request for a 90-day extension of the nomination 
period as the requestor wanted more time to nominate drugs to the list 
and to provide supporting data. FDA has considered the request and is 
extending the nomination period for 90 days, until November 16, 2015. 
The FDA believes that a 90-day extension allows adequate time for 
interested persons to submit nominations without significantly delaying 
consideration of these nominations.

II. Nomination Process

    The process for nominations for bulk drug substances that may be 
used by facilities registered as outsourcing facilities under section 
503B of the FD&C Act to compound animal drugs from bulk drug substances 
is described in the previous notice published May 19, 2015. FDA cannot 
guarantee that all drugs nominated during the nomination period will be 
considered for initial inclusion in Appendix A at the time of its 
initial publication. Nominations submitted during the nomination period 
(ending on November 16, 2015) that are not evaluated and included in 
Appendix A at the time of its initial publication will receive 
consideration for later addition to Appendix A. In addition, 
individuals and organizations may petition FDA, in accordance with 21 
CFR 10.30, to make additional amendments to Appendix A after the 
nomination period.

III. Request for Nominations

    Interested persons may submit either electronic nominations to 
https://www.regulations.gov or written nominations to the Division of 
Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to send one 
set of nominations. Identify nominations with the docket number found

be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
