SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and 
(e)(2)), notification of an order approving, denying, or withdrawing 
approval of a PMA will continue to include a notice of opportunity to 
request review of the order under section 515(g) of the FD&C Act. The 
30-day period for requesting administrative reconsideration of an FDA 
action under Sec.  10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b)) for notices announcing 
approval of a PMA begins on the day the notice is placed on the 
internet. Section 10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for good cause, 
extend this 30-day period. Reconsideration of a denial or withdrawal of 
approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant; in these cases, 
the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is notified by FDA in 
writing of its decision.
    The regulations (21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d)) provide that FDA 
publish a quarterly list of available safety and effectiveness 
summaries of PMA approvals and denials that were announced during that 
quarter. The following is a list of PMAs approved by CBER for which 
safety and effectiveness summaries were placed on the internet from 
October 1, 2017, through December 31, 2018. There were no denial 
actions during this period. The list provides the manufacturer's name, 
the product's generic name or the trade name, and the approval date.
