Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 54 / Thursday, March 20, 1997 / Notices 13389

505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and

Cosmetic Act: December 22, 1995. The

applicant claims December 21, 1995, as

the date the new drug application

(NDA) for HYCAMTINTM (NDA 20–671)

was initially submitted. However, FDA

records indicate that NDA 20–671 was

submitted on December 22, 1995.

3. The date the application was

approved: May 28, 1996. FDA has

verified the applicant’s claim that NDA

20–671 was approved on May 28, 1996.

This determination of the regulatory

review period establishes the maximum

potential length of a patent extension.

However, the U.S. Patent and

Trademark Office applies several

statutory limitations in its calculations

of the actual period for patent extension.

In its application for patent extension,

this applicant seeks 572 days of patent

term extension.

Anyone with knowledge that any of

the dates as published is incorrect may,

on or before May 20, 1997, submit to the

Dockets Management Branch (address

above) written comments and ask for a

redetermination. Furthermore, any

interested person may petition FDA, on

or before September 22, 1997, for a

determination regarding whether the

applicant for extension acted with due

diligence during the regulatory review

period. To meet its burden, the petition

must contain sufficient facts to merit an

FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857,

part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41–42,

1984.) Petitions should be in the format

specified in 21 CFR 10.30.

Comments and petitions should be

submitted to the Dockets Management

Branch (address above) in three copies

(except that individuals may submit

single copies) and identified with the

docket number found in brackets in the

heading of this document. Comments

and petitions may be seen in the

Dockets Management Branch between 9

a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through

Friday.

Dated: March 12, 1997.
