The Federal Register Notice sets two important deadlines:
- A deadline 180 days after publication for filing written comments or petitions regarding the marketing applicant’s due diligence during the regulatory review period.
- A deadline 60 days after publication for requesting redetermination if anyone believes the published dates are incorrect.
MPEP 2757 states: “The Federal Register Notice also sets a date, 180 days after publication of the notice, as a deadline for filing written comments concerning any of the information set forth in the notice or a petition for a determination regarding whether the marketing applicant has acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period. The Federal Register Notice also sets a date, which is 60 days after publication of the notice, for anyone with information that the published dates are incorrect to request redetermination.“
