approved for use in a regimen with
misoprostol for the medical termination
of early pregnancy. There are no
approved drug applications pursuant to
section 505 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
355) in effect for the mifepristone and
misoprostol Ms. Wing imported and
sold via her website. In addition to
being unapproved, the drugs sold via
Ms. Wing’s website were also
misbranded because they failed to bear
adequate directions for their intended
use (see 21 U.S.C. 352(f)(1) and 21 CFR
201.5) and are prescription medications
that were dispensed without a
prescription from a practitioner licensed
by law to administer such drugs (21
U.S.C. 353(b)(1) and 331(k)).
Ms. Wing broke down the bulk
shipments of unapproved and
misbranded drugs she received from
India and repackaged them into retail
quantities which she then shipped to
customers in the United States and
around the world via U.S. mail. To
disguise her sales, Ms. Wing created a
fake company called ‘‘Fatima’s Bread
Basket,’’ which she listed as the shipper
on the envelope going to the customer.
Ms. Wing then inserted a piece of
jewelry in the shipping envelope to
serve as the cover piece of merchandise
being mailed to the customer. She
packaged the unapproved and
misbranded prescription drugs in a
smaller packet that was in a hidden
panel and taped to the inside of the
shipping envelope. Ms. Wing disguised
the nature of the item being purchased
by listing on the invoice alternate
jewelry product names, each of which
had a code to indicate the actual item
(unapproved and misbranded drug(s))
being ordered.
As a result of this conviction, FDA
sent Ms. Wing, by certified mail on
October 15, 2020, a notice proposing to
debar her for a 5-year period from
importing or offering for import any
drug into the United States. The
proposal was based on a finding under
section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act
that Ms. Wing’s conviction for one
felony count under Federal law, for
conspiracy to defraud the United States,
was for conduct relating to the
importation into the United States of
any drug or controlled substance
because she illegally smuggled
unapproved and misbranded
prescription drugs from India into the
United States and then distributed those
misbranded and unapproved drugs to
consumers both in the United States and
abroad.
In proposing a debarment period,
FDA weighed the considerations set
forth in section 306(c)(3) of the FD&C
Act that it considered applicable to Ms.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:14 Mar 25, 2021
Jkt 253001
Wing’s offense, and concluded that this
felony offense warranted the imposition
of a 5-year period of debarment. The
proposal informed Ms. Wing of the
proposed debarment and offered her an
opportunity to request a hearing,
providing her 30 days from the date of
receipt of the letter in which to file the
request, and advised her that failure to
request a hearing constituted a waiver of
the opportunity for a hearing and of any
contentions concerning this action. Ms.
Wing received the proposal and notice
of opportunity for a hearing on October
19, 2020. Ms. Wing failed to request a
hearing within the timeframe prescribed
by regulation and has, therefore, waived
her opportunity for a hearing and
waived any contentions concerning her
debarment (21 CFR part 12).
II. Findings and Order
Therefore, the Assistant
Commissioner, Office of Human and
Animal Food Operations, under section
306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act, under
authority delegated to the Assistant
Commissioner, finds that Ms. Ursula
Wing has been convicted of a felony
under Federal law for conduct relating
to the importation into the United States
of any drug or controlled substance.
FDA finds that the offense should be
accorded a debarment period of 5 years
as provided by section 306(c)(2)(A)(iii)
of the FD&C Act.
As a result of the foregoing finding,
Ms. Wing is debarred for a period of 5
years from importing or offering for
import any drug into the United States,
effective (see DATES). Pursuant to section
301(cc) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
331(cc)), the importing or offering for
import into the United States of any
drug or controlled substance by, with
the assistance of, or at the direction of
Ms. Wing is a prohibited act.
Any application by Ms. Wing for
termination of debarment under section
306(d)(1) of the FD&C Act should be
identified with Docket No. FDA–2020–
N–1682 and sent to the Dockets
Management Staff (see ADDRESSES). The
public availability of information in
these submissions is governed by 21
CFR 10.20(j).
Publicly available submissions will be
placed in the docket and will be
viewable at https://www.regulations.gov
or at the Dockets Management Staff (see
ADDRESSES) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, 240–402–7500.

Information Line, 1-800-741-8138 (301-443-0572 in the Washington, DC
area). A notice in the Federal Register about last-minute modifications
that impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot
always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore,
you should always check FDA's website at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate
advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to
the meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned,
and recorded through an online teleconferencing platform. The committee
will discuss new drug application (NDA) 214487, for avacopan oral
capsules, submitted by ChemoCentryx, Inc., for the treatment of anti-
neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
FDA intends to make the meeting's background material and pre-
recorded presentations available to the public no later than 2 business
days before the meeting. The pre-recorded presentations will be viewed
by the committee prior to the meeting and will not be replayed on
meeting day. If FDA is unable to post the background material and/or
pre-recorded presentations on its website prior to the meeting, the
background material and/or pre-recorded presentations will be made
publicly available on FDA's website at the time of the advisory
committee meeting. The meeting will include brief summaries of the pre-
recorded presentations. The pre-recorded presentations and brief
summaries will include slide presentations with audio components to
allow the presentation of materials in a manner that most closely
resembles an in-person advisory committee meeting. Background material
and the link to the online teleconference meeting room will be
available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting
link.
Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee.
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see
ADDRESSES) on or before April 22, 2021, will be provided to the
committee. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between
approximately 1:15 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time on May 6, 2021.
Those individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should
notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general
nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and
addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before
April 14, 2021. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. If
the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing
session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the
scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will
[[Page 16229]]
notify interested persons regarding their request to speak by April 15,
2021.
