Mohammad Uddin; Debarment Order

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is issuing an

order under the Federal Food, Drug, and

Cosmetic Act (the act) permanently

debarring Mr. Mohammad Uddin from

providing services in any capacity to a

person that has an approved or pending

drug product application. FDA bases

this order on a finding that Mr. Uddin

was convicted of a felony under Federal

law for conduct relating to the

regulation of a drug product under the

act. Mr. Uddin failed to request a

hearing and, therefore, has waived his

opportunity for a hearing concerning

this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit applications for

termination of debarment to the Dockets

Management Branch (HFA–305), Food

and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers

Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Christine F. Rogers, Center for Drug

Evaluation and Research (HFD–7), Food

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On November 19, 1993, the United

States District Court for the District of

Maryland entered judgment against Mr.

Uddin for one count of obstruction of an

agency proceeding, a Federal felony

offense under 18 U.S.C. 1505.

As a result of this conviction, FDA

published in the Federal Register of

January 12, 1999 (64 FR 1809), a notice

proposing to permanently debar Mr.

Uddin from providing services in any

capacity to a person that has an

approved or pending drug product

application and offering him an

opportunity for a hearing on the

proposal. The proposal was based on a

finding, under section 306(a)(2)(B) of

the act (21 U.S.C. 355a(a)(2)(B)), that he

was convicted of a felony under Federal

law for conduct relating to the

regulation of a drug product. Mr. Uddin

was provided 30 days to file objections

and request a hearing. Mr. Uddin did

not request a hearing. His failure to

request a hearing constitutes a waiver of

his opportunity for a hearing and a

waiver of any contentions concerning

his debarment.

II. Findings and Order

Therefore, the Director, Center for

Drug Evaluation and Research, under

section 306(a)(2)(B) of the act, and

under authority delegated to her (21

CFR 5.99), finds that Mr. Mohammad

Uddin has been convicted of a felony

under Federal law for conduct relating

to the regulation of a drug product.

As a result of the foregoing finding,

Mr. Mohammad Uddin is permanently

debarred from providing services in any

capacity to a person with an approved

or pending drug product application

under section 505, 512, or 802 of the act

(21 U.S.C. 355, 360b, or 382), or under

section 351 of the Public Health Service

Act (42 U.S.C. 262), effective September

29, 2000 (sections 306(c)(1)(B) and

(c)(2)(A)(ii) and 201(dd) of the act (21

U.S.C. 321(dd))). Any person with an

approved or pending drug product

application who knowingly uses the

services of Mr. Uddin, in any capacity,

during his period of debarment, will be

subject to civil money penalties. If Mr.

Uddin, during his period of debarment,

provides services in any capacity to a

person with an approved or pending

drug product application, he will be

subject to civil money penalties. In

addition, FDA will not accept or review

any abbreviated new drug applications

submitted by or with the assistance of

Mr. Uddin during his period of

debarment.

Any application by Mr. Uddin for

termination of debarment under section

306(d)(4) of the act should be identified

with Docket No. 94N–0424 and sent to

the Dockets Management Branch

(address above). All such submissions

are to be filed in four copies. The public

availability of information in these

submissions is governed by 21 CFR

accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and

section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney

Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing

this Notice to identify Federal buildings

and other real property that HUD has

reviewed for suitability for use to assist

the homeless. The properties were

reviewed using information provided to

HUD by Federal landholding agencies

regarding unutilized and underutilized

buildings and real property controlled

by such agencies or by GSA regarding

its inventory of excess or surplus

Federal property. This Notice is also

published in order to comply with the

December 12, 1988 Court Order in

National Coalition for the Homeless v.

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–

OG (D.D.C.).

Properties reviewed are listed in this

Notice according to the following

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and

unsuitable. The properties listed in the

three suitable categories have been

reviewed by the landholding agencies,

and each agency has transmitted to

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the

property available for use to assist the

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the

property excess to the agency’s needs, or

(3) a statement of the reasons that the

property cannot be declared excess or

made available for use as facilities to

assist the homeless.

Properties listed as suitable/available

will be available exclusively for

homeless use for a period of 60 days

from the date of this Notice. Homeless

assistance providers interested in any

such property should send a written

expression of interest to HHS, addressed

to Brian Rooney, Division of Property

Management, Program Support Center,

property, providers should submit their

written expressions of interest as soon

as possible. For complete details

concerning the processing of

applications, the reader is encouraged to

refer to the interim rule governing this

program, 24 CFR part 581.

For properties listed as suitable/to be

excess, that property may, if

subsequently accepted as excess by

GSA, be made available for use by the

homeless in accordance with applicable

law, subject to screening for other

Federal use. At the appropriate time,

HUD will publish the property in a

Notice showing it as either suitable/

available or suitable/unavailable.

For properties listed as suitable/

unavailable, the landholding agency has

decided that the property cannot be

declared excess or made available for

use to assist the homeless, and the

property will not be available.

Properties listed as unsuitable will

not be made available for any other

purpose for 20 days from the date of this

Notice. Homeless assistance providers

interested in a review by HUD of the

determination of unsuitability should

call the toll free information line at 1–
