The FDA’s CVM is proposing to withdraw approval of seven new animal drug applications (NADAs) and is announcing an opportunity for the NADA sponsors to request a hearing on this proposal. The new animal drugs approved in these NADAs have not been marketed for several years. The establishments associated with these drug products are not registered under 21 CFR 207.21 nor are these drug products listed under 21 CFR 207.45. The basis for this proposal is that these NADA sponsors have repeatedly failed to submit annual drug experience reports to FDA concerning their approved NADA as required under § 514.80 (21 CFR 514.80). These sponsors have not responded to the Agency’s requests, sent by certified mail, for submission of the reports. The delinquent approved NADAs and their sponsors are listed in table 1.

Therefore, notice is given to the holders of the approved NADAs listed in table 1 and to all other interested persons that the Director of CVM proposes to issue an order, under section 512(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(e)), withdrawing approval of the NADAs and all amendments and supplements thereto on the grounds that the NADA holders have failed to submit the reports required under § 514.80. Upon withdrawal of approval of these NADAs, the regulations published VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:18 Jan 07, 2020 Jkt 250001 pursuant to section 512(i) of the FD&C Act in 21 CFR 510.600, 520.260, 520.580, 522.84, 522.518, and 522.1620 will be revoked. In accordance with section 512 of the FD&C Act and parts 12 and 514 (21 CFR parts 12 and 514), the NADA holders are hereby provided an opportunity for a hearing to show why the approval of the NADAs listed previously should not be withdrawn (and the corresponding regulations revoked) and an opportunity to raise, for administrative determination, all issues relating to the PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Citation in 21 CFR 522.518 522.1620 520.260 520.260 Not codified 520.580 522.84 legal status of the new animal drug products covered by these NADAs. An NADA holder who decides to seek a hearing must file the following: (1) A written notice of participation and a request for a hearing (see DATES and ADDRESSES) and (2) the data, information, and analyses relied on to justify a hearing (see DATES and ADDRESSES). Any other interested person may also submit comments on this notice. The procedures and requirements governing this notice of opportunity for a hearing, notice of E:\FR\FM\08JAN1.SGM 08JAN1 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 5 / Wednesday, January 8, 2020 / Notices jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES participation and request for a hearing, the information and analyses to justify a hearing, other comments, and a grant or denial of a hearing are contained in § 514.200 (21 CFR 514.200) and in part 12. The failure of an NADA holder to file a timely written notice of participation and request for a hearing, as required by § 514.200 and part 12, constitutes an election by that NADA holder not to avail itself of the opportunity for a hearing concerning CVM’s proposal to withdraw approval of the NADAs and constitutes a waiver of any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. FDA will then withdraw approval of the NADAs, and the new animal drug products may not thereafter be lawfully introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce. Any new animal drug product introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved NADA, conditional approval, or index listing 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 § 514.80. If a request for a hearing is not complete or is not supported, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs 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 two copies. Except for data and information prohibited from public disclosure under 21 U.S.C. 331(j) or 18 U.S.C. 1905, the submissions may be seen at the Dockets Management Staff (see ADDRESSES) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at https:// www.regulations.gov. This notice is issued under section 512 of the FD&C Act and under authority delegated to the Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs. Dated: January 3, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDA's CVM is proposing to withdraw 
approval of seven new animal drug applications (NADAs) and is 
announcing an opportunity for the NADA sponsors to request a hearing on 
this proposal. The new animal drugs approved in these NADAs have not 
been marketed for several years. The establishments associated with 
these drug products are not registered under 21 CFR 207.21 nor are 
these drug products listed under 21 CFR 207.45. The basis for this 
proposal is that these NADA sponsors have repeatedly failed to submit 
annual drug experience reports to FDA concerning their approved NADA as 
required under Sec.  514.80 (21 CFR 514.80). These sponsors have not 
responded to the Agency's requests, sent by certified mail, for 
submission of the reports. The delinquent approved NADAs and their 
sponsors are listed in table 1.

    Therefore, notice is given to the holders of the approved NADAs 
listed in table 1 and to all other interested persons that the Director 
of CVM proposes to issue an order, under section 512(e) of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(e)), 
withdrawing approval of the NADAs and all amendments and supplements 
thereto on the grounds that the NADA holders have failed to submit the 
reports required under Sec.  514.80. Upon withdrawal of approval of 
these NADAs, the regulations published pursuant to section 512(i) of 
the FD&C Act in 21 CFR 510.600, 520.260, 520.580, 522.84, 522.518, and 
522.1620 will be revoked.
    In accordance with section 512 of the FD&C Act and parts 12 and 514 
(21 CFR parts 12 and 514), the NADA holders are hereby provided an 
opportunity for a hearing to show why the approval of the NADAs listed 
previously should not be withdrawn (and the corresponding regulations 
revoked) and an opportunity to raise, for administrative determination, 
all issues relating to the legal status of the new animal drug products 
covered by these NADAs.
    An NADA holder who decides to seek a hearing must file the 
following: (1) A written notice of participation and a request for a 
hearing (see DATES and ADDRESSES) and (2) the data, information, and 
analyses relied on to justify a hearing (see DATES and ADDRESSES). Any 
other interested person may also submit comments on this notice. The 
procedures and requirements governing this notice of opportunity for a 
hearing, notice of

[[Page 921]]

participation and request for a hearing, the information and analyses 
to justify a hearing, other comments, and a grant or denial of a 
hearing are contained in Sec.  514.200 (21 CFR 514.200) and in part 12.
    The failure of an NADA holder to file a timely written notice of 
participation and request for a hearing, as required by Sec.  514.200 
and part 12, constitutes an election by that NADA holder not to avail 
itself of the opportunity for a hearing concerning CVM's proposal to 
withdraw approval of the NADAs and constitutes a waiver of any 
contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. FDA will 
then withdraw approval of the NADAs, and the new animal drug products 
may not thereafter be lawfully introduced or delivered for introduction 
into interstate commerce. Any new animal drug product introduced or 
delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved 
NADA, conditional approval, or index listing 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.  514.80. If a request for a hearing is not 
complete or is not supported, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs 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 two copies. Except for data and information prohibited from 
public disclosure under 21 U.S.C. 331(j) or 18 U.S.C. 1905, the 
submissions may be seen at the Dockets Management Staff (see ADDRESSES) 
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to 
the docket at https://www.regulations.gov.
    This notice is issued under section 512 of the FD&C Act and under 
authority delegated to the Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy 
by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.

    Dated: January 3, 2020.
Lowell J. Schiller,
Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.
