Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0287]

Wallace E. Gonsalves, Jr., MD: Debarment Order

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an order
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) permanently
debarring Wallace E. Gonsalves, Jr., MD, from providing services in any
capacity to a person that has an approved or pending drug product
application. We base this order on a finding that Dr. Gonsalves was
convicted of a felony under Federal law for conduct relating to the
regulation of a drug product under the act. After being given notice of
the proposed permanent debarment and an opportunity to request a
hearing within the timeframe prescribed by regulation, Dr. Gonsalves
failed to request a hearing. Dr. Gonsalves' failure to request a
hearing constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this
action.

DATES: This order is effective October 21, 2009.

ADDRESSES:  Submit applications for special termination of debarment to
the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Kenny Shade, Division of Compliance
Policy (HFC-230), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,
Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 306(a)(2)(B) of the act (21 U.S.C. 335a(a)(2)(B)) requires
debarment of an individual if FDA finds that the individual has been
convicted of a felony under Federal law for conduct relating to the
regulation of any drug product under the act. On September 15, 2004,
the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island entered
judgment against Dr. Gonsalves for two counts of product tampering in
violation of 18 U.S.C. 1365(a) and two counts of drug adulteration in
violation of 21 U.S.C. 331(k) and 333(a)(2). On September 14, 2004, the
U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island accepted Dr.
Gonsalves' plea of guilty, made under a plea agreement, and entered
judgment against Dr. Gonsalves for one count of conspiracy to sell drug
samples in violation of 18 U.S.C. 371 and 21 U.S.C. 333(a)(2) and
353(c)(1), one count of unlawful sale of drug samples in violation of
21 U.S.C. 331(t), 333(b)(1), and 353(c)(1), and one count of health
care fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1347(a) and 2.
    FDA's finding that debarment is appropriate is based on two
convictions relating to adulteration of a drug (two separate vaccines)
and one conviction relating to sale of drug samples. The factual basis
for those convictions is as follows: From March of 2000 until on or
about August 26, 2002, with the intent to defraud and mislead, Dr.
Gonsalves caused a quantity of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) and
Varicella Virus (varicella) vaccine to be adulterated while the vaccine
was being held for sale and administered to patients after being
shipped in interstate commerce, by reducing the quality and strength of
the vaccine and by failing to properly store and maintain the vaccine,
thereby causing the vaccines to become adulterated.
    From July 3, 2000, and continuing until at least on or about August
16, 2002, Dr. Gonsalves knowingly sold and offered to sell quantities
of drug samples for cash or other consideration. As a result of his
convictions, FDA sent Dr. Gonsalves by certified mail on August 7,
2009, a notice proposing to permanently debar him from providing
services in any capacity to a person that has an approved or pending
drug product application. The proposal was based on a finding under
section 306(a)(2)(B) of the act that Dr. Gonsalves was convicted of a
felony under Federal law for conduct relating to the regulation of a
drug product under the act. The

proposal also offered Dr. Gonsalves an opportunity to request a
hearing, providing him 30 days from the date of receipt of the letter
in which to file the request, and advised him that failure to request a
hearing constituted a waiver of the opportunity for a hearing and of
any contentions concerning this action. Dr. Gonsalves did not request a
hearing and has, therefore, waived his opportunity for a hearing and
waived any contentions concerning his debarment (21 CFR part 12).

II. Findings and Order

    Therefore, the Acting Director, Office of Enforcement, Office of
Regulatory Affairs, under section 306(a)(2)(B) of the act and under
authority delegated to the Acting Director (Staff Manual Guide
1410.35), finds that Dr. Gonsalves has been convicted of a felony under
Federal law for conduct relating to the regulation of a drug product
under the act.
    As a result of the foregoing finding, Dr. Gonsalves is permanently
debarred from providing services in any capacity to a person with an
approved or pending drug product application under sections 505, 512,
or 802 of the act (21 U.S.C. 355, 360b, or 382), or under section 351
of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262), effective (see DATES)
(see section 306(c)(1)(B) and (c)(2)(A)(ii) of the act and section
201(dd) of the act (21 U.S.C. 321(dd)). Any person with an approved or
pending drug product application who knowingly employs or retains as a
consultant or contractor, or otherwise uses the services of Dr.
Gonsalves, in any capacity, during Dr. Gonsalves' debarment, will be
subject to civil money penalties (section 307(a)(6) of the act (21
U.S.C. 335b(a)(6)). If Dr. Gonsalves, during his period of debarment,
provides services in any capacity to a person with an approved or
pending drug product application, he will be subject to civil money
penalties (section 307(a)(7) of the act). In addition, FDA will not
accept or review any abbreviated new drug applications submitted by or
with the assistance of Dr. Gonsalves during his debarment (section
306(c)(1)(B) of the act).
    Any application by Dr. Gonsalves for special termination of
debarment under section 306(d)(4) of the act should be identified with
Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0287 and sent to the Division of Dockets
Management (see ADDRESSES). All such submissions are to be filed in
four copies. The public availability of information in these
submissions is governed by 21 CFR 10.20(j).
    Publicly available submissions may be seen in the Division of
Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

    Dated: September 29, 2009.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and/or Amend
Registrations to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from registrant
Amvac Chemical Corporation to amend to terminate uses of DDVP product
registrations. DDVP is an organophosphate insecticide and fumigant
registered for use in controlling flies, mosquitoes, gnats,
cockroaches, fleas, and other insect pests. Formulations of DDVP
include pressurized liquid, granular, emulsifiable concentrate, total
release aerosol, and impregnated material. DDVP is applied with
aerosols and fogging equipment, with ground spray equipment, and
through slow release from impregnated materials, such as resin strips.
DDVP is registered to control insect pests on agricultural sites;
commercial, institutional and industrial sites; and for domestic use in
and around homes (i.e., resin strips). DDVP is used preplant in
mushroom houses, and postharvest in storage areas for bulk, packaged
and bagged raw and processed agricultural commodities, food
manufacturing/processing plants, animal premises, and non-food areas of
food-handling establishments. It is also registered for direct dermal
pour-on treatment of cattle and poultry, and swine. DDVP is not
registered for direct use on any field grown commodities. In letters
dated March 2, 2007 and March 8, 2007, Amvac Chemical Corporation
requested EPA to amend to terminate uses of pesticide product
registrations

identified in this notice (Table 1). Specifically, the request would
terminate DDVP use in dry bait formulations and in impregnated resin
cat and dog flea collars. The request would not terminate the last DDVP
products registered for use in the U.S.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from a registrant
to amend to terminate uses of DDVP product registrations. The affected
products and the registrants making the requests are identified in
Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The DDVP registrant has requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of
publication of this notice, or if the Agency determines that there are
substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an
order will be issued amending the affected registrations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration of Dichlorvos (DDVP).

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Such withdrawal must be received on or
before April 23, 2007. This written withdrawal of the request for
cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1)
request listed in this notice. If the products have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. Amvac has indicated that there are no existing
stocks of the products identified in Table 1; therefore, the Agency
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of
existing stocks of the products identified or referenced in Table 1:
The prohibition on sales, distribution and use, except for proper
disposal or export consistent with the requirements of section 17 of
FIFRA, is effective immediately.

Project consists of (1) a 20-acre reservoir at a normal pool elevation
of 419.1 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929; (2) a main 106-
foot-long concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 25 feet that
includes a 55-foot-long spillway, and three 3- to 4-foot-high concrete
diversion spillway dams that are 21 feet, 46 feet and 64 feet long,
respectively; (3) a 23-foot-long by 23-foot-wide brick and concrete
powerhouse containing a 150-kilowatt (kW), a 265-kW, and a 400-kW
turbine-generator unit; (4) two 12- to 15-foot-long, 6-foot-diameter
steel penstocks, with one penstock that bifurcates before joining the
two turbine units; (5) two trash racks; (6) a 400-foot-long tailrace
channel; (7) a 480-volt, 300-foot-long transmission line connecting to
a 480-volt to 23-kilovolt step-up transformer at a nearby substation;
and (8) appurtenant facilities. The average annual generation was 933
megawatt-hours between 2012 and 2017.
    The project is operated in a run-of-river mode and discharges a

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E en route domestic
airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at the
Phoenix VORTAC navigation aid, Phoenix, AZ. This action would contain
aircraft while in IFR conditions under control of Albuquerque ARTCC by
vectoring aircraft from en route airspace to terminal areas.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6006 of
FAA Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15,
2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (1) is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,

Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would establish controlled airspace at the
Phoenix VORTAC, Phoenix, AZ.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
