Title: Amendments to Patent Term Restoration 
Abstract:

FDA is proposing to amend its Patent Term Restoration regulations to identify the effective date of approval for scheduled drugs, to define when the beginning of the 60-day review period occurs for an application to extend the patent term, to define the term business day, and to explain how approvals after 4:30 p.m. fit in this definition. The proposed amendments will make existing FDA regulations consistent with the statutory amendments. Other proposed changes to the regulations will make them conform with existing practices.
