[Docket No. 94E-0071]


Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent 
Extension; Zosyn; Correction

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting the 
notice that appeared in the Federal Register of August 30, 1994. The 
document announced FDA's determination of the regulatory review period 
for purposes of patent extension for Zosyn (tazobactam sodium 
and piperacillin sodium). The document was published with some errors. 
The document incorrectly stated:
     FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period 
for Zosyn is 1,819 days. Of this time, 1,038 days occurred 
during the testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 781 
days occurred during the approval phase.
     1. The date an exemption under 505(i) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act became effective: October 31, 1988. The 
applicant claims July 10, 1988, as the date the investigational new 
drug application (IND) for Zosyn (IND 31,705) became 
effective. However, IND 31,705 was received on June 14, 1988, and it 
was placed on clinical hold on July 1, 1988. It was removed from 
clinical hold on October 31, 1988, making the IND effective date 
October 31, 1988.
     It should have stated:
     FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period 
for Zosyn is 1,906 days. Of this time, 1,125 days occurred 
during the testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 781 
days occurred during the approval phase.
     1. The date an exemption under 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, 
and Cosmetic Act became effective: August 5, 1988. The applicant claims 
July 10, 1988, as the date the investigational new drug application 
(IND) for Zosyn (IND 31,705) became effective. However, IND 
31,705 was received on June 14, 1988, and it was placed on clinical 
hold on July 1, 1988. It was removed from clinical hold on August 5, 
1988, making the IND effective date August 5, 1988.
     This document corrects those errors.
