Merial Ltd., 3239 Satellite Blvd., Bldg. 500, Duluth, GA 30096-4640 has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following five approved NADAs to Huvepharma AD, 33 James Boucher Blvd., Sophia 1407, Bulgaria:

Application No. Trade name(s)

Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 520.100, 558.55, 558.58, and 558.175 to reflect the transfer of ownership.

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.
