The new PDUFA bill contains provisions re citizen petitions.

>>
Changes to the citizen petition provisions for protesting generic drug applications state that FDA may not delay generic drug approval because of a petition, unless necessary to protect public health. A decision on a petition must be made within 180 days of its filing, and a filer must wait 180 days after filing before going to court to challenge a generic approval.
