SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The holder of an approved ANDA to market a new drug for human use is required to submit annual reports to FDA concerning its approved ANDA under §§ 314.81 and 314.98 (21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98). The holders of the approved ANDAs listed in table 1 have repeatedly failed to submit the required annual reports and have not responded to the Agency’s request for submission of the reports. Additionally, in accordance with section 505–1 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355–1), the Agency determined that a REMS is necessary for all the applicable listed drugs that the ANDAs in table 1 reference to ensure the benefits of the listed drugs outweigh the risks. In accordance with section 505–1(i) of the FD&C Act, an ANDA is required to have a REMS if the applicable listed drug has an approved REMS. We notified the holders of approved ANDAs in table 1 of the REMS requirement on September 28, 2017. The holders of the approved ANDAs listed in table 1 have failed to receive approval of a REMS for their products.

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 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 § 314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) and in 21 CFR part 12. The failure of an ANDA holder to file a timely written notice of participation and request for a hearing, as required by § 314.200, constitutes an election by that ANDA holder not to avail itself of the opportunity for a hearing concerning CDER’s proposal to withdraw approval of the ANDAs and constitutes a waiver of any contentions concerning the legal status of the drug products. FDA will then withdraw approval of the ANDAs, and the drug products may not thereafter be lawfully marketed or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce. Any new drug product introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved ANDA 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 (§ 314.200(g)). 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 (§ 314.200(g)(1)). 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The holder of an approved ANDA to market a 
new drug for human use is required to submit annual reports to FDA 
concerning its approved ANDA under Sec. Sec.  314.81 and 314.98 (21 CFR 
314.81 and 314.98). The holders of the approved ANDAs listed in table 1 
have repeatedly failed to submit the required annual reports and have 
not responded to the Agency's request for submission of the reports.
    Additionally, in accordance with section 505-1 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355-1), the Agency 
determined that a REMS is necessary for all the applicable listed drugs 
that the ANDAs in table 1 reference to ensure the benefits of the 
listed drugs outweigh the risks. In accordance with section 505-1(i) of 
the FD&C Act, an ANDA is required to have a REMS if the applicable 
listed drug has an approved REMS. We notified the holders of approved 
ANDAs in table 1 of the REMS requirement on September 28, 2017. The 
holders of the approved ANDAs listed in table 1 have failed to receive 
approval of a REMS for their products.

    Therefore, notice is given to the holders of the approved ANDAs 
listed in table 1 and to all other interested persons that the Director 
of CDER proposes to issue an order, under section 505(e)(2) of the FD&C 
Act (21 U.S.C. 355(e)(2)), withdrawing approval of the ANDAs and all 
amendments and supplements thereto on the grounds that the ANDA holders 
have failed to submit reports required under Sec. Sec.  314.81 and 
314.98 and section 505(k) of the FD&C Act, and have failed to receive 
approval of a REMS for their products in accordance with section 505-1 
of the FD&C Act.
    In accordance with section 505(e) of the FD&C Act and 21 CFR 
314.150(a) and (b)(1) and 21 CFR 314.200, the ANDA holders are hereby 
provided an opportunity for a hearing to show why the approval of the 
ANDAs identified above 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 ANDAs.

[[Page 60476]]

    An ANDA holder who decides to seek a hearing must file the 
following: (1) a written notice of participation and request for a 
hearing (see DATES and ADDRESSES) 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 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 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.  
314.200 (21 CFR 314.200) and in 21 CFR part 12.
    The failure of an ANDA holder to file a timely written notice of 
participation and request for a hearing, as required by Sec.  314.200, 
constitutes an election by that ANDA holder not to avail itself of the 
opportunity for a hearing concerning CDER's proposal to withdraw 
approval of the ANDAs and constitutes a waiver of any contentions 
concerning the legal status of the drug products. FDA will then 
withdraw approval of the ANDAs, and the drug products may not 
thereafter be lawfully marketed or delivered for introduction into 
interstate commerce. Any new drug product introduced or delivered for 
introduction into interstate commerce without an approved ANDA 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 (Sec.  
314.200(g)). 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 (Sec.  314.200(g)(1)).
    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 505(e)(2) of the FD&C Act and 
under authority delegated to the Director of CDER by the Commissioner 
of Food and Drugs.

    Dated: September 16, 2020.
Patrizia Cavazzoni,
Acting Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
