    Can a company initiate a switch of an Rx product to OTC if they are not the NDA or ANDA holder?  Would this be done via 505(b)(2)?  Are there any examples of this being done?

    In the attached presentation from FDA, it is suggested that "other parties" can submit a Citizen Petition with a full data package to request the switch.
