ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval 
of one abbreviated antibiotic drug application (AADA) and two 
abbreviated new drug applications (ANDA's) held by Clay-Park Labs, 
Inc., 1700 Bathgate Ave., Bathgate Industrial Park, Bronx, NY 10457 
(Clay-Park). FDA is withdrawing approval of these applications because 
of questions raised about the reliability of the data and information

this withdrawal and in so doing has waived its opportunity for a 
hearing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 23, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David T. Read, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research (HFD-366), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(e)), and under authority delegated to the 
Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (21 CFR 5.82),
