Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2005 / Notices 72449 

the United States to become eligible for 

the OTC drug monograph system. 

Sponsors must provide specific data 

and information in a TEA to 

demonstrate that the condition has been 

marketed for a material time and to a 

material extent to become eligible for 

consideration in the OTC drug 

monograph system. When the condition 

is found eligible, FDA publishes a 

notice of eligibility and request for 

safety and effectiveness data for the 

proposed OTC use. The TEA that FDA 

reviewed (Ref. 1) and the FDA’s 

evaluation of the TEA (Ref. 2) have been 

placed on public display in the Division 

of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) 

under the docket number found in 

brackets in the heading of this 

document. Information deemed 

confidential under 18 U.S.C. 1905, 5 

U.S.C. 552(b), or 21 U.S.C. 331(j) 

(section 301(j) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act) was deleted 

from the TEA before it was placed on 

public display. 

II. Request for Comments, Data, and 

Information 

FDA has determined that the 

information submitted in this TEA 

satisfies the criteria of § 330.14(b). FDA 

will evaluate both leave-on formulations 

containing 0.1 to 0.5 percent climbazole 

and rinse-off formulations containing 

0.5 to 2.0 percent climbazole for 

inclusion in the monograph for OTC 

drug products for the control of 

dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and 

psoriasis (21 CFR part 358, subpart H). 

Accordingly, FDA invites all interested 

persons to submit data and information, 

as described in § 330.14(f), on the safety 

and effectiveness of this active 

ingredient for this use, so that FDA can 

determine whether it can be GRAS/E 

and not misbranded under 

recommended conditions of OTC use. 

The TEA did not include an official or 

proposed United States PharmacopeiaNational Formulary (USP–NF) drug 

monograph for climbazole. According to 

§ 330.14(i), an official or proposed USP–

NF monograph for climbazole must be 

included as part of the safety and 

effectiveness data for this ingredient. 

Interested parties should provide an 

official or proposed USP–NF 

monograph. 

Interested persons may submit to the 

Division of Dockets Management (see 

ADDRESSES) written or electronic 

comments, data, and information. 

Submit three copies of all comments, 

data, and information. Individuals 

submitting written information or 

anyone submitting electronic comments 

may submit one copy. Submissions are 

to be identified with the docket number 

found in brackets in the heading of this 

document and may be accompanied by 

supporting information. Received 

submissions may be seen in the Division 

of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. 

and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

Information submitted after the closing 

date will not be considered except by 

petition under 21 CFR 10.30. 

III. Marketing Policy 

Under § 330.14(h), any product 

containing the conditions for which 

data and information are requested may 

not be marketed as an OTC drug in the 

United States at this time unless it is the 

subject of an approved new drug 

application or abbreviated new drug 

application. 

IV. References

display in the Division of Dockets 

Management (see ADDRESSES) and may

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In the Federal Register of January 23, 

2002 (67 FR 3060), FDA published a 

final rule establishing criteria and 

procedures for additional conditions to 

become eligible for consideration in the 

OTC drug monograph system. These 

criteria and procedures, codified in 

§ 330.14 (21 CFR 330.14), permit OTC 

drugs initially marketed in the United 

States after the OTC drug review began 

in 1972 and OTC drugs without any 

marketing experience in the United 

States to become eligible for FDA’s OTC 

drug monograph system. The term 

‘‘condition’’ means an active ingredient 

or botanical drug substance (or a 

combination of active ingredients or 

botanical drug substances), dosage form, 

dosage strength, or route of 

administration, marketed for a specific 

OTC use (§ 330.14(a)). The criteria and 

procedures also permit conditions that 

are regulated as cosmetics or dietary 

supplements in foreign countries but 

that would be regulated as OTC drugs in 

the United States to become eligible for 

the OTC drug monograph system. 

Sponsors must provide specific data 

and information in a TEA to 

demonstrate that the condition has been 

marketed for a material time and to a 

material extent to become eligible for 

consideration in the OTC drug 

monograph system. When the condition 

is found eligible, FDA publishes a 

notice of eligibility and request for 

safety and effectiveness data for the 

proposed OTC use. The TEAs that FDA 

reviewed (Refs. 1 and 2) and FDA’s 

evaluation of the TEAs (Refs. 3 and 4) 

have been placed on public display in 

the Division of Dockets Management 

(see ADDRESSES) under the docket 

number found in brackets in the 

heading of this document. Information 

deemed confidential under 18 U.S.C. 

1905, 5 U.S.C. 552(b), or 21 U.S.C. 331(j) 

(section 301(j) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act) was deleted 

from the TEAs before they were placed 

on public display. 

II. Request for Comments, Data, and 

Information 

FDA has determined that the 

information submitted in this TEA 

satisfies the criteria of § 330.14(b). FDA 

will evaluate bisoctrizole, up to 10 

percent, and bemotrizinol, up to 10 

percent, as sunscreen single active 

ingredients and in combination with 

other existing monograph sunscreen 

active ingredients, for inclusion in the 

monograph for OTC sunscreen drug 

products (21 CFR part 352). 

Accordingly, FDA invites all interested 

persons to submit data and information, 

as described in § 330.14(f), on the safety 

and effectiveness of these ingredients as 

single active ingredients for this use so 

that FDA can determine whether they 

can be GRAS/E and not misbranded 

under recommended conditions of OTC 

use. Additional data should be included 

to establish the safety and effectiveness 

of sunscreen drug products containing a 

combination of bisoctrizole and/or 

bemotrizinol with other existing 

sunscreen monograph active 

ingredients. 

Neither of the TEAs included an 

official or proposed United States 

Pharmacopeia-National Formulary 

(USP–NF) drug monograph. According 

to § 330.14(i), an official or proposed 

USP–NF monograph for each ingredient 

must be included as part of the safety 

and effectiveness data for these 

ingredients. Interested parties should 

provide an official or proposed USP–NF 

monograph for each ingredient. 

Interested persons may submit to the 

Division of Dockets Management (see 

ADDRESSES) written or electronic 

comments, data, and information. 

Submit three copies of all comments, 

data, and information. Individuals 

submitting written information or 

anyone submitting electronic comments 

may submit one copy. Submissions are 

to be identified with the docket number 

found in brackets in the heading of this 

document and may be accompanied by 

supporting information. Received 

submissions may be seen in the Division 

of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. 

and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. 

Information submitted after the closing 

date will not be considered except by 

petition under 21 CFR 10.30. 

III. Marketing Policy 

Under § 330.14(h), any product 

containing the conditions for which 

data and information are requested may 

not be marketed as an OTC drug in the 

United States at this time unless it is the 

subject of an approved new drug 

application or abbreviated new drug 

application.
