AI Summary

This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to inform a person who has submitted or intends to submit an abbreviated application for a new generic drug whether the new drug is qualitatively and quantitatively the same as the listed drug. If the new drug is not the same, the Secretary must identify the ingredients that cause the difference and the quantity or proportion of any ingredient in the listed drug that has a quantitative deviation.
