Sec.  60.24  Revision of regulatory review period determinations.

    (a) Any person may request a revision of the regulatory review 
period determination within 60 days after its initial publication in the 
Federal Register. The request shall be sent to the Division of Dockets 
Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, 
rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. The request shall specify the following:
    (1) The type of action requested;
    (2) The identity of the product;
    (3) The identity of the applicant;
    (4) The FDA docket number; and
    (5) The basis for the request for revision, including any 
documentary evidence.
    (b) Unless the applicant is the person requesting the revision, the 
applicant shall respond to the request within 15 days. In responding to 
the request, the applicant may submit information which is relevant to 
the events during the regulatory review period but which was not 
included in the original patent term restoration application. A request 
for a revision is not equivalent to a due diligence petition under Sec.  
60.30 or a request for a hearing under Sec.  60.40. If no response is 
submitted, FDA will decide the matter on the basis of the information in 
the patent term restoration application, request for revision, and FDA 
records.
    (c) FDA shall apply the provisions of Sec.  60.22 in considering the 
request for a revision of the regulatory review period determination. lf 
FDA revises its prior determination, FDA will notify PTO of the 
revision, send a copy of this notification to the applicant, and publish 
the revision in the Federal Register, including a statement giving the 
reasons for the revision.
