21 CFR Parts 312 and 314

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0010]

 
Change of Address; Abbreviated New Drug Applications; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
regulations to update the address for applicants to submit abbreviated 
new drug applications (ANDAs) and ANDA amendments, supplements, and 
resubmissions. FDA is also updating the address for ANDA applicants to 
submit investigational new drug applications (INDs) for in vivo 
bioavailability and bioequivalence studies in humans that are intended 
to support ANDAs. This action is being taken to ensure accuracy and 
clarity in the agency's regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective August 1, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martin Shimer, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish 
Pl., MPN II, Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8675.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending 21 CFR 314.440(a)(2) to 
update the address for applicants to submit ANDAs and ANDA amendments, 
supplements, and resubmissions. FDA is also amending 21 CFR 
312.140(a)(1) to update the address for ANDA applicants to submit INDs 
for in vivo bioavailability and bioequivalence studies that are 
intended to support ANDAs. The new address for all these submissions is 
Office of Generic Drugs (HFD-600), Center for Drug Evaluation and 
Research, Food and Drug Administration, Metro Park North VII, 7620 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855. This action is being taken to ensure 
accuracy and clarity in the agency's regulations.
    Publication of this document constitutes final action on these 
changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has 
determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary because this 
amendment to the regulations provides only technical changes to update 
an address for the submission of ANDAs; ANDA amendments, supplements, 
and resubmissions; and INDs related to ANDAs.
