New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for seven approved new animal drug applications (NADAs) for clopidol Type A medicated articles and combination drug medicated chicken and turkey feeds from Aventis Animal Nutrition, Inc., to Merial Ltd.
DATES:
This rule is effective April 14, 2003.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lonnie W. Luther, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-102), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0209.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Aventis Animal Nutrition, Inc., 3480 Preston Ridge Rd., suite 650, Alpharetta, GA 30005-8891, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 34-393, 40-264, 41-541, 44-016, 46-209, 49-934, and 99-150 for clopidol Type A medicated articles and certain combination clearances for use in medicated feeds for chickens and turkeys to Merial Ltd., 3239 Satellite Blvd., Bldg. 500, Duluth, GA 30096-4640. Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in § 558.175 (21 CFR 558.175) to reflect the transfer of ownership. Section 558.175 is also being changed to a table format.
Following the change of sponsor of these NADAs, Aventis Animal Nutrition, Inc., is no longer the sponsor of any approved applications. Therefore, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for this sponsor.
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.
