Animal Drugs, Feeds, and Related Products; Technical Amendment

AGENCY:

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:

Final rule; technical amendment.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is updating the animal drug regulations to add Triple “F”, Inc., to the list of sponsors of approved animal drug applications, and to add the drug labeler code (DLC) number for ADM Animal Health & Nutrition Division (ADM) to the list of approvals for bambermycins. These corrections amend the animal drug regulations to reflect currently approved new animal drug applications (NADA's).

DATES:

This rule is effective September 7, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FDA has found that the April 1, 2000, edition of Title 21, Parts 500 to 599 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) does not fully reflect several approved NADA's. Triple “F”, Inc., is the holder of approved new animal drug applications (NADA's). The former DLC number for Triple “F”, Inc., 011490, is listed in the regulation for bambermycins in § 558.95 (21 CFR 558.95) and for pyrantel tartrate in 21 CFR 558.485, but the sponsor and DLC are not listed under sponsors of approved applications in § 510.600(c) (21 CFR 510.600(c)). In a document published in the Federal Register of April 1, 1999 (64 FR 15683), the listing for Triple “F,” Inc., was inadvertently deleted from § 510.600(c). ADM is a holder of approved NADA 132-448 for the use of bambermycins, but is not listed in the bambermycins regulations (§ 558.95) by its current DLC. ADM is listed in § 558.95(a)(4) by its former DLC, 012286. This DLC was changed to 017519 in the Federal Register of May 21, 1997 (62 FR 27691), but the change was not reflected in § 558.95. At this time, FDA is amending the regulations to correct these errors in §§ 510.600(c) and 558.95(a).

This rule does not meet the definition of “rule” in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a rule of “particular applicability.” Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
