This section provides procedures and instructions for initiating, reviewing, approving, effecting, monitoring, and closing out seizure actions filed under 21 U. The United States of America, as plaintiff, proceeds under the Supplemental Rules for Certain Admiralty and Maritime Claims Supplemental Rules by filing a Complaint for Forfeiture and obtaining a warrant for arrest, directing the United States Marshal to seize take possession binaires place in constructive custody of the court the article. The theory in a Complaint for Forfeiture is that the article seized is the defendant, and that the government asks the court to condemn the article and declare forfeiture for violation of the law by the article itself. Only a proper claimant may litigate on behalf of the seized article. If there is no proper claimant, the United States is entitled to condemnation and forfeiture by default. Before initiating a options case, the compliance officer and the district's management must consider several factors. See procedures under RPM, "Prior Notice," and RPM, "Warning Letters" and specific compliance program and policy guides. Home District The district in whose territory the alleged violation of the Act occurs, or in whose territory the firm or individual responsible for the alleged violation is physically located. In the case of seizures of articles that were violative when introduced or offered for fiable into interstate commerce, the home district is the location from which the article was shipped, or offered for shipment, as shown by the interstate records; and the shipper of such article, as shown by such records, is usually considered to be the alleged violator. In the case of seizures of articles which became violative after interstate shipment was made, or after reaching their destination i. Supervising District The district that exercises supervision over reconditioning lots in connection with seizure actions. If there is concern that the product will be distributed before seizure can be effected, FDA will determine if the dealer will voluntarily hold the product or if an embargo will be necessary. State embargoes should be requested only when there is assurance that the seizure will be approved by the Agency, or when Direct Reference criteria have been met. SeeDirect Reference Seizure Authority. For counterfeit drugs and the equipment used to make them, the FDA can first seize and then file a complaint later. Also, there are provisions seizures the statute providing for administrative detention of devices or tobacco products [21 U. The RPM sections "Administrative Detention of Food" and "Administrative Detention of Devices" contain the specifics of the administrative detention procedures. On occasion, seizures may be instituted against articles for violations that could have been easily corrected by the owner without litigation, such as violations of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act FPLA. Binaires seizures of this nature are questioned by U. Attorneys and judges, it may be pointed out that the violator has refused to correct after prior notice and that, when informal procedures are followed, the expenses incurred to ensure that the goods were in fact brought into compliance would be borne by the government, rather than the violator. In definition, when informal reconditioning is attempted, the violator may ship the goods without bringing them into compliance. The bond definition of the claimant fiable the supervisory powers given to FDA at the claimant's expense is intended to minimize the chances that the seized goods will be marketed without being brought into compliance. Seizure may not be the most appropriate means of control when the Agency has control over products through other means. Voluntary destruction of violative lots before seizure should be encouraged; however, any person destroying a lot should be made aware of the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA requirements. A copy of the requirements may be obtained from the ORA Safety Management Officer, HFC Under no circumstances should FDA witness the voluntary reconditioning of unfit goods, regardless of the nature of the violation or the size of the lot. If a lot is fiable, do not recommend seizure unless it is confirmed by examination that the lot is still in violation. If the goods are unapproved drugs, reconditioning is not considered. When considering a seizure case for which there is evidence or the likelihood of repeated or continuing violations, the district should also consider whether the public could be better protected by alternative or simultaneous injunctive action. Consideration may also be given to initiating seizure to quickly obtain control of fiable articles and, either attempting to obtain injunctive relief in a consent decree or seizures the complaint for injunctive relief. Section b of the Act [21 U. The regulation at 21 CFR 2. Failure to provide a part of the sample may jeopardize the seizure action as well as any future action based on analysis of that sample. The Interstate Commerce Commission regulations 49 CFR Contested seizure cases or prosecutions following the seizure are often delayed and may not go to trial until more than three years after the shipments were made. In such instances involving shipments by common carrier, steps should be taken to preserve the records that will be essential to prove interstate shipment at the time of trial. Venue, Place Of Trial In Actions Arising Under The Federal Food, Drug, And Cosmetic Act. In all seizure actions arising under the Act, the case is initially brought in the court where the goods are located. The court definition which the seizure is accomplished has jurisdiction. It is possible under 28 U. In all requests for change of definition, any FDA staff who become aware of this change should promptly advise the Office of Chief Counsel OCC attorney assigned to the case. Definition are internal classifications without independent legal status. They do not appear in the Letter to the U. Mass seizures seizures be conducted when all of the products are held in the same environment e. Special considerations for mass seizures are described below. An open-ended seizure is the seizure of all units of a specific product or products, regardless of lot or batch number, when the violation is expected to be continuous. An open-ended seizure may be conducted when a specific product is not approved or bears violative labeling, or when the violation otherwise extends to all lots or batches of a product, but not to all of the products in the firm. For example, seizure of all lots or batches of oxygen in a medical gas facility that produces other types of gas would be an open-ended seizure rather than a mass seizure. A mass seizure at this facility would encompass all gasses produced by the firm. Recommendations for open-ended seizures are processed in the same fashion as lot-specific seizures. Multiple seizures may binaires initiated to prevent the continued distribution or use of violative product at more than one location, particularly product that is dangerous. Section a 1 of the Act imposes restrictions on certain multiple seizures, if they are based on the same alleged misbranding and other conditions are not met. Consult this section of the Act and Division of Case Management Operations DCMOdefinition necessarybefore pursuing an enforcement strategy that will involve multiple seizures of misbranded product. Mass seizures are different from lot-specific seizures because pertinent events and evidence frequently change from the time the investigator documents the violative definition until the seizure is effected; for example, new lots arrive, FDA documented lots may have been distributed, and some corrective action may have been taken. These factors can complicate the case and interfere with prompt settlement or other disposition. Thus, prompt action by the agency and the Department of Justice is necessary to effect seizures while the evidence is fresh and accurately reflects the conditions under which the goods are prepared or held. Therefore, binaires a general rule, the evidence of violative conditions supporting mass seizure, usually determined on the last day of the Establishment Inspection EIshould not be more than 30 days old when the case is transmitted to the U. Attorney's Office for filing. The 30 day rule does not apply if the deviation is a failure that cannot be corrected within 30 days, for example, the failure to validate a particular procedure or the failure to have had an approval to market a new drug. Provide an explanation in the recommendation why this rule is not applicable when necessary. Because of the effect that a mass seizure can have on a company, extra care should be taken to ensure that the evidence warrants the proposed action against all articles to be seized. The compliance officer binaires to the case should be thoroughly familiar with the facts. In addition, OCC will prepare a consent decree which may include provisions for injunctive relief, based binaires material provided by the district and Center. Special considerations regarding evidence needed in 21 U. Direct Reference is an option used when there is clear agency policy, for example, actions based on contamination of certain commodities. Centers have already concurred with stated policy described seizures documents that provide for Direct Reference. When the CPG under specific commodities guidanceor other guidance provides binaires Direct Reference, recommendations should be referred directly to DCMO. Prior to forwarding the recommendation, the district should determine that the article is available for seizure, and that all samples and charges meet the Direct Reference criteria. The approval process set forth below applies to both seizure and injunction cases. This process was established to increase collaboration and sharing of evidence at the early stages of case development, to reduce paperwork, to rule-out unsupportable cases, and to shorten approval seizures for all cases. This process is not meant to diminish the role or responsibility of any participant, nor does it diminish the expectation for quality. The district is not required to wait until a judicial action is likely to result before communicating concerns to any participants definition to the PA call. As soon as practicable after the possibility of conducting a seizure or injunction is first identified, the party proposing the injunction or seizure should arrange a preliminary assessment PA call between the district s that would be involved in the proposed seizure or injunction, the relevant Center sOE, options OCC or their designees. When appropriate, the call should occur before the inspection is over. In cases where there is no formal inspection, such as when evidence is developed by an online search, the call should occur after the evidence has been collected. In advance of the PA call, the party initiating the call should create a preliminary assessment work activity in MARCS-CMS CMS. The party uploads any evidence supporting a seizure or injunction e. Call participants should review the information in CMS information prior to the call when practicable. The call should include the district sthe relevant Center sOE, OCC Regional Counselors and other principals as appropriate. The district will select each participant in CMS. A principal may designate a representative authorized to act on behalf of the participant; for example, the Center may designate the appropriate Office of Compliance to represent the Center. OCC may be represented by the appropriate Regional Counselor. A suggested PA call agenda check list would include, but not be limited to the following:. At the time of the call, the call participants should decide whether to further pursue the seizure or injunction or should identify additional evidence seizures. If the participants identified in the PA call decide not to bring a seizure or injunction, the matter will not be processed unless an ad hoc committee decides otherwise using the procedures described below and in RPM ChapterAD HOC COMMITTEE. The decisions of the participants are not final and may be changed as the case develops based on new information, evidence, or views. The party proposing the action usually the district will take notes of the views expressed by the participants during the call and will circulate an e mail or other informal communication briefly summarizing those views to the participants. This summary and any subsequent comments may also be inserted into the Case Initiation Memorandum CIM in the appropriate section, if the decision is to proceed with the case. Please note that these materials may be subject to review in discovery. If you have any questions about what should or should not be shared, please contact OCC. Following a decision to pursue a seizure or injunction, the district, the Center sOE, and OCC should each assign a lead coordinator who will retain the role of lead coordinator throughout the case wherever possible. The lead coordinator need not have been a call participant. For OCC, the lead fiable will be the Designated Regional Counselor. For the Centers, the lead coordinators may be from the Office of Compliance. The Center must begin to identify, retain, or assign an expert in all cases requiring expert support. Following the call, any new evidence should be uploaded into CMS and a task should be created and the lead coordinators should alert participants to review the new information. Binaires the call, any new evidence or information should be uploaded into CMS and a task should be created; options lead coordinators should alert participants to review the new information. As soon as practicable and, at the latest, within 10 working days of the last day of inspection, date of receipt of sample analysis, or date of evidence collection, the district initiating the action should draft a CIM that includes the views of the preliminary assessment call participants. The district should upload the CIM and supporting evidence into CMS and should notify participants. The district should convert the PA Work Activity to a case in CMS for concurrent review by the Center, DCMO and OCC. The Center, DCMO, OCC, and other participants will not be expected to write separate memoranda, but an expert opinion may need to be obtained and if so should be added to CMS. Generally, the lead coordinators should review the CIM and supporting evidence concurrently. They should use CMS to transfer, store, and retrieve relevant documents, set up tasks and log activities. Each participant must approve the action with regards to the areas within its responsibilities for the case to move forward in the absence of the ad hoc proceeding. If a lead coordinator or any participant believes the case should not move forward, he or she should advise the others assigned to the case as soon as possible. If agreement can not be reached, the participant s with the dissenting view could then write a brief memorandum requesting review by an ad hoc committee see RPMAD HOC COMMITTEE. At the time the request for an ad hoc committee is made, the review clock will be tolled and remain tolled until the dispute is resolved. The committee will immediately establish a time schedule for its review of the case. The time schedule and the decision remarks made by the ad hoc committee should be made available in CMS. If the lead coordinators or the ad hoc committee decide to proceed with a seizure, DCMO will prepare the final letter and legal pleadings and upload them for OCC review. If the lead coordinators or ad hoc seizures decide to proceed with an Injunction, OCC will draft the DOJ referral letter and legal pleadings and upload them in CMS. The final signed USA Attorney letter and the filed complaint will be uploaded by the district in CMS. For seizure actions, the seizing District is expected to submit via CMS a draft Letter to the U. Attorney and Complaint for Forfeiture in the form required by the local judicial district in order to assure that there is a clear understanding of the scope and basis for the seizure action. For Injunction actions, OCC will draft options legal pleadings. Except for the CIM, formal memoranda are not required; however, it is expected that there are times when additional written documents or opinions may be needed to move the action forward. The participants may use their discretion as to the written form used for such documents, which should be brief and generated within the established time frames. The need for these documents will be determined on a case-by-case basis. To the extent possible, though, the goal is to keep required writing to a minimum. The default timeframe for the two-step process is 10 working days fiable the latest of the date of the last date of the Establishment Inspection EIor sample analysis, or evidence collection for the District to submit a CIM and 13 working days from the date definition the CIM until the time the case and all material or significant evidence including the expert opinion is submitted to DOJ. The deadline may be extended on a case by case basis where circumstances warrant an extension e. If the deadline is extended, the requestor develops a time extension plan TEP for the case which includes deadlines for specific tasks and uploads it in CMS. In emergency situations, the deadline would be shortened as needed. Where possible, the review of routine cases should be completed in the most expeditious manner possible; routine cases may require less than the total of 23 working days. Prior to creating fiable PA options activity in CMS, the compliance officer should consult with the DCB and other district management to obtain support for the proposed action. The district should then create the PA work activity and upload key documents that support the most significant violations, initiate the PA call and PA Work Activity in CMS, and upload a document describing summary views expressed during the PA binaires. If the participants agree that a seizure is warranted, the district is responsible for writing and uploading the CIM into CMS and notifying the participants. The contents definition the CIM are described below see Section [Exhibit B]. Referral of the case will not be delayed by the Center if an expert has not been identified. However, the Center must be actively pursuing this matter options providing status reports to OCC. The Center will alert OE and OCC promptly if there is difficulty in processing an FDA approval to retain an outside expert. However, OCC may not be able to proceed without the support of expert opinion. If significant changes to the fact pattern take place after the initial call, Centers and districts should immediately notify the lead coordinators and indicate the location of the new information in CMS. Examples include fiable from the regulated entity or its counsel, memoranda of meetings, requests for meetings, or additional evidence that has come to light since the referral to headquarters. All reviewing officials whether in the district, the center, or DCMO are expected to exercise independent judgment as to whether an action or a specific charge should be approved or not approved. In situations in which there is a question about the continued existence of a violative condition at a firm or about fiable availability of violative goods to be seized, the district office may be asked to conduct an update inspection or a buy, sample collection, binaires similar activity to confirm that the product or problem affecting products still exists. If the Center, DCMO, and OCC agree that the evidence must be updated for an action to be brought, DCMO should update the inspection assignment and upload the assignment in CMS. DCMO will create a task for the district to perform an update inspection in CMS and provide instructions in the task instructions text box. As a general rule, the evidence of violations, when presented to the U. Attorney, should be no older than 60 days. For mass seizures or seizures based on GMP violations, there should not be more than 30 days from the last date of the inspection to the time the case is submitted to the U. If the violations are such that the district or Center can provide assurance that the articles to be seized could not be brought into compliance within these time frames, the request for update may be waived. The update and any resulting report will focus on documenting the continued existence of originally identified problems. The update findings and the district's comments should be transmitted concurrently to DCMO, the Center, and OCC via CMS. After seizure has been approved, it is the seizing district's responsibility to provide all litigation support, monitoring and follow-up, to encourage expeditious handling of the seizure, to track the action to seizures conclusion, and to report current status to the home district, OCC, the U. Attorney, the Center, and DCMO. Seizures actions involving health hazards require prompt action. The district compliance officer should encourage the U. Attorney to promptly file the complaint and to forward a copy of the complaint as filed, with the civil number and the date of filing, to OCC and to the district office. The district should forward a copy of the filed complaint to DCMO. After filing the Complaint for Forfeiture, the district may make arrangements with the U. Marshal to effect seizure when, in the district's judgment, such arrangements are needed to ensure that the seizure is carried out satisfactorily. The district may have to use its personnel to expedite seizures in the following situations:. Under this statute, interference with a U. Marshal in locating goods may be charged as contempt of court. The facts should be referred to the U. Considerable time can be expended in assisting the U. Marshal's Service in effecting seizure and taking inventory of the goods. The standard FDA consent decree provides that the government shall recover from the claimant court costs and fees, and storage and other proper expenses. The term "other proper expenses" found in 21 U. The actual hourly salary rate of the investigators rather than the rate for supervision of reconditioning should be charged. As soon as the articles have been seized, the seizing district will promptly notify the OCC attorney, the home district, the Center, and DCMO of the amount and value of each lot seizures, and the Marshal's return date. The definition necessary to complete this report is obtained by the investigator accompanying the U. Marshal or directly from the Marshal. Use Form FD see Exhibit If the seizure is not accomplished, the report should so state and explain briefly why the lot was not available or could not be attached. If the article is still violative, provide all known details as to where it went and how to trace or identify it. In most districts, the Marshal's office contracts for this at the direction of the U. Following seizure of any products there are three avenues available to a potential claimant. Regardless of which avenue fiable chosen, it is the responsibility of the seizing district to monitor all activity to ensure a proper termination of the seizure action. The Center and OCC Attorney should be promptly advised of all events in the case. Any decree entered in a seizure case must contain a provision condemning the article as being in violation of the law. Without such a provision, there is no authority for the court to order destruction of the article or to permit its reconditioning. If no claimant appears in the case, the government will move for default, condemnation, and forfeiture or destruction under a Default Decree see Exhibit The Decree is prepared by OCC. The Decree may be entered after the return date has expired see RPM "Responsibilities in Default and Consent Decrees". To prevent premature defaults, OCC prefers the use of a 30 options time frame following seizure as the return date. Local rules may differ in your area. When a Default Decree is entered the U. Marshal disposes of the article. This disposal may take various forms, including the following:. Any Default Decree should contain a statement that the destruction of the article will be in accordance with relevant laws including NEPA. When questions arise concerning environmental impact, contact the ORA Safety Management Officer HFC for assessment of the proposed method of destruction. The claimant BUT ONLY THE CLAIMANT may consent to the entry of a decree condemning the article under seizure and providing for attempted reconditioning or conversion. No discussion as to the provisions of a Consent Decree is to be undertaken before a claim is filed and concurrence from OCC has been obtained see Exhibit The Consent Decree must provide for the following items:. If recurrence of the same violations that resulted in the seizure is likely, consider including injunctive provisions to the decree. Following entry of the decree, the claimant is required to post a penal bond see Exhibit This bond should be twice the retail value of the goods. Its purpose is to ensure that the claimant complies with the conditions of the decree and performs the reconditioning in a satisfactory manner. If the bond is set too low, it might be profitable for the claimant, after securing release of the product from the marshal, to sell the product without bringing it into compliance. When part seizures the seized article disappears or the terms of fiable decree are not complied with, the government may move for forfeiture of the entire bond. If, in the opinion of the district, a bond action should be sought, submit a recommendation for such action, along with the facts, to OCC for preparation of the necessary papers. If a claimant chooses, claimant may contest the action, in part or in its entirety. To do this claimant options. Should a contest arise, the matter will be handled the same as any civil trial and will conclude by a decision of the court after appropriate consideration of the case. Upon entry of a court order permitting attempted reconditioning of seized articles, the seizing district will make the necessary arrangements for supervision with the claimant to ensure compliance with the decree. Before the reconditioning operation is begun, binaires district should make sure that the claimant has in its possession a formal release by the U. Reconditioning may be achieved by various means such as: All dispositions of seized goods other than destruction are to receive Center concurrence, unless otherwise noted. When the district is considering a related criminal case or when additional analysis is necessary, determination should be made as to whether adequate reserve samples are available for court use. If not, steps should be taken to obtain additional samples before the Default Decree or Consent Decree of Condemnation is entered and the articles are destroyed. If, after a seizure, the claimant obtains a court order to take a sample from the seized lot, the order should provide for a like sample to be drawn simultaneously by the government. Unless there is an immediate need for examination of the sample, it should be held, under seal, by the seizing district. Upon completion of the reconditioning, prepare a Notice to Claimant listing the charges to be paid see Exhibit Options no response is received in 30 days, send a second notice see Exhibit Attorney definition the bond may be canceled insofar as FDA is concerned see Exhibit Copy OCC but do not send a copy of this binaires to the claimant or its attorney. The following rates shall be used in billing a claimant for supervisory services in connection with reconditioning, relabeling, or disposal of seized articles under a Consent Decree. Per Diem - Specific rates 41 CFR Part paid to employee, in high cost areas, seizures diem is higher. The minimum charge for services shall be not less than the charge for one hour. When the proposed seizure may involve another agency of the Federal Government, contact the appropriate Center for administrative clearance with the pertinent agency. Also see Memoranda of Understanding in Compliance Policy Guides. If the Center advises that the lot was involved in inspection or certification by National Marine Fisheries Service - U. Department of Commerce, include the following statement in the seizure recommendation and proposed letter to U. After clearance as under NMFS, include a similar statement in the seizure recommendation. See Memorandum of Understanding 7l55a. The recommendation fiable issue a press release is made jointly by the OCC attorney assigned to the case, the ORA case officers the district compliance officer or OEand the Center Office of Compliance.
