Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 15 / Wednesday, January 24, 2007 / Notices
Were Tested for Communicable Diseases
Using Pooled Specimens or Diagnostic
Tests’’ dated January 2007. The
guidance document provides
establishments that make HCT/P donor
eligibility determinations with
recommendations concerning the donor
eligibility requirements under part 1271
(21 CFR part 1271), subpart C, when
donors of certain HCT/Ps were tested for
communicable diseases using pooled
specimens or diagnostic tests. The
effective date of the regulations
contained in part 1271, subpart C, was
May 25, 2005 (69 FR 29785, May 25,
2004). The guidance is applicable to
certain HCT/Ps that were not regulated
as HCT/Ps before May 25, 2005, and that
were recovered from donors on or after
May 25, 2005, and within 30 days of the
date of publication of this document in
the Federal Register. FDA has
determined that donor retesting, in
certain cases, needs to be conducted in
a timely manner in order to be feasible,
and the availability of certain HCT/Ps
may be critical to their intended
recipients.
The guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation § 10.115 (21 CFR
10.115). The guidance represents FDA’s
current thinking on this topic. It does
not create or confer any rights for or on
any person and does not operate to bind
FDA or the public. An alternative
approach may be used if such approach
satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This guidance refers to previously
approved collections of information
found in FDA regulations. These
collections of information are subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520). The collections of information in
part 1271, subpart C, have been
approved under OMB control number
0910–0543; the collections of
information in part 1271, subpart D, and
Form FDA–3486 have been approved
under OMB control number 0910–0559.
III. Comments
FDA is soliciting public comment, but
is implementing this guidance
immediately in accordance with
§ 10.115(g)(2) and (3) without initially
seeking prior comment because the
agency has determined that prior public
participation is not feasible or
appropriate. In certain cases, donor
retesting needs to be initiated quickly,
and the availability of certain HCT/Ps
may be critical to their intended
recipients. Interested persons may, at

complaint filed by Bavarian Nordic
A/S of Denmark. The complaint alleged
violations of section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, in the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the
sale within the United States after

and pharmaceutical compositions based
thereon by reason of infringement of
various claims of United States Patent
Nos. 6,761,893 and 6,913,752. The
complaint also alleged violations of
section 337 in the importation of certain
MVA viruses and vaccines and
pharmaceutical compositions based
thereon or in the sale of such articles by
reason of misappropriation of trade
secrets, the threat or effect of which is
to destroy or substantially injure an
industry in the United States. The
complaint named a single respondent,
Acambis PLC (‘‘Acambis’’) of the United
Kingdom. Only the patent allegations
remain in this investigation.
After a hearing and post-hearing
briefing, the ALJ issued a final initial
determination (‘‘final ID’’) on September
6, 2006, finding no violation of section
337. The ALJ held that the patents were
infringed but invalid.
Bavarian Nordic, Acambis, and the
Commission investigative attorney filed
petitions for review of the final ID. By
notice of November 22, 2006, the
Commission determined to review the
final ID in its entirety, as well as Order
No. 10, to extend the target date for
completion of the investigation to
January 31, 2007, and to ask the parties
for briefing on the issues on review and
on remedy, public interest and bonding.
The parties submitted their initial and
reply briefs on December 12 and
December 22, 2006, respectively.
In view of information set out in the
briefs on review, the Commission has
requested briefing on whether this
investigation has become or will shortly
become moot, and if so, whether the
investigation should be terminated. This
information includes a press release by
Acambis dated November 14, 2006
indicating that its ‘‘proposal is no longer
being considered for award as part of
the U.S. Government’s Modified
Vaccinia Ankara (‘‘MVA’’) smallpox
vaccine tender process.’’ To
accommodate briefing on this issue, the
Commission has determined to extend
the target date for completion of this
investigation to February 21, 2007.
This action is taken under the
authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337),
and in section 210.51(a) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (19 CFR 210.51(a)).
Issued: January 19, 2007.
By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
