information known to the petitioner that is favorable or
unfavorable to the petition;
''(II) is well grounded in fact and is warranted by law;
''(III) is not submitted for an improper purpose, such as
to harass or cause unnecessary delay (including unnecessary
delay of competition or agency action); and
''(IV) does not contain a materially false, misleading, or
fraudulent statement.
''(ii) The Secretary shall investigate, on receipt of a complaint,
a request under clause (vi), or on its own initiative, any petition
submitted under such section 10.30 or section 10.35 (or any successor
regulation), that--
''(I) does not comply with the requirements of clause (i);
''(II) may have been submitted for an improper purpose as
described in clause (i)(III); or
''(III) may contain a materially false, misleading, or
fraudulent statement as described in clause (i)(IV).
''(iii) If the Secretary finds that the petitioner has knowingly
and willingly submitted the petition for an improper purpose as
described in clause (i)(III), or which contains a materially false,
misleading, or fraudulent statement as described in clause (i)(IV), the
Secretary may--
''(I) impose a civil penalty of not more than $1,000,000,
plus attorneys fees and costs of reviewing the petition and any
related proceedings;
''(II) suspend the authority of the petitioner to submit a

''(IV) dismiss the petition at issue in its entirety.
''(iv) If the Secretary takes an enforcement action described in
subclause (I), (II), (III), or (IV) of clause (iii) with respect to a
petition, the Secretary shall refer that petition to the Federal Trade
Commission for further action as the Federal Trade Commission finds
appropriate.
''(v) In determining whether to take an enforcement action
described in subclause (I), (II), (III), or (IV) of clause (iii) with
respect to a petition, and in determining the amount of any civil
penalty or the length of any suspension imposed under that clause, the
Secretary shall consider the specific circumstances of the situation,
such as the gravity and seriousness of the violation involved, the
amount of resources expended in reviewing the petition at issue, the
effect on marketing of competing drugs of the pendency of the
improperly submitted petition, including whether the timing of the
submission of the petition appears to have been calculated to cause
delay in the marketing of any drug awaiting approval, and whether the
petitioner has a history of submitting petitions in violation of this
subparagraph.
''(vi)(I) Any person aggrieved by a petition filed under such
section 10.30 or section 10.35 (or any successor regulation), including
a person filing an application under subsection (b)(2) or (j) of this
section to which such petition relates, may request that the Secretary
initiate an investigation described under clause (ii) for an
enforcement action described under clause (iii).
''(II) The aggrieved person shall specify the basis for its belief
that the petition at issue is false, misleading, fraudulent, or
submitted for an improper purpose. The aggrieved person shall certify
that the request is submitted in good faith, is well grounded in fact,
and not submitted for any improper purpose. Any aggrieved person who
knowingly and intentionally violates the preceding sentence shall be
subject to the civil penalty described under clause (iii)(I).
''(vii) The Secretary shall take final agency action with respect
to a petition filed under such section 10.30 or section 10.35 (or any
successor regulation) within 6 months of receipt of such petition. The
Secretary shall not extend such 6-month review period, even with
consent of the petitioner, for any reason, including based upon the
submission of comments relating to a petition or supplemental
information supplied by the petitioner. If the Secretary has not taken
final agency action on a petition by the date that is 6 months after
the date of receipt of the petition, such petition shall be deemed to
have been denied on such date.
''(viii) The Secretary may promulgate regulations to carry out this
subparagraph, including to determine whether petitions filed under such
section 10.30 or section 10.35 (or any successor regulation) merit
enforcement action by the Secretary under this subparagraph.''.
