SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of June 11, 2010 (75 FR 33311), FDA 
announced the availability of a guidance for industry entitled 
``Guidance for Industry on Bioequivalence Recommendations for Specific 
Products'' that explained the process that would be used to make 
product-specific guidances available to the public on FDA's website at 
https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm.
    As described in that guidance, FDA adopted this process to develop 
and disseminate product-specific guidances and to provide a meaningful 
opportunity for the public to consider and comment on the guidances. 
This notice announces the availability of a revised draft guidance for 
generic doxycycline hyclate oral delayed-release tablets.
    FDA initially approved new drug application (NDA) 050795 for DORYX 
(doxycycline hyclate oral delayed-release tablets) in May 2005. In May 
2009, FDA issued a draft guidance for industry on generic doxycycline 
hyclate oral delayed-release tablets and most recently revised that 
guidance in June 2015. On May 20, 2016, FDA approved a supplement to 
NDA 050795 for a new formulation of doxycycline hyclate delayed-release 
tablets in equivalent to (EQ) 60 milligram (mg) and EQ 120 mg strengths 
under the trade name Doryx MPC. We are now issuing another revised 
draft guidance for industry on doxycycline hyclate oral delayed-release 
tablets to include recommendations for demonstrating bioequivalence to 
these strengths.
    In November 2016, Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd submitted a 
citizen petition requesting that FDA require certain in vitro 
dissolution criteria as part of the BE demonstration for any ANDA 
referencing DORYX MPC. FDA has reviewed the issues raised in this 
citizen petition and is responding to the citizen petition separately 
in the docket for that citizen petition (Docket No. FDA-2016-P-4047, 
available at https://www.regulations.gov).
    This revised draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's 
good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The revised draft 
guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on 
the design of BE studies to support ANDAs for doxycycline hyclate oral 
delayed-release tablets. It does not establish any rights for any 
person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an 
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable 
statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive 
Order 12866.

II. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance 
at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or
