Title: Proposed Revisions To Implement Portions of Title XI of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 and Other Changes 
Abstract: Title XI of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-173) (MMA) amended provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) that govern the approval of new drug applications (NDAs) described by section 505(b)(2) of the act (505(b)(2) applications) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) described by section 505(j) of the act. This proposed rule would implement portions of title XI of the MMA that pertain to: (1) Provision of notice to each patent owner and the NDA holder of certain patent certifications made by applicants submitting 505(b)(2) applications or ANDAs; (2) the availability of 30-month stays of approval on 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs that are otherwise ready to be approved; (3) submission of amendments and supplements to 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs; and (4) the types of bioavailability and bioequivalence data that can be used to support these applications. This proposed rule also would amend certain regulations regarding 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs to facilitate compliance with and efficient enforcement of the act.
