New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor; Ketamine
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 an abbreviated new animal drug application (ANADA) for ketamine hydrochloride injectable solution from Veterinary Research Associates, Inc., to Putney, Inc.
DATES:
This rule is effective February 13, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David R. Newkirk, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8307, e-mail: david.newkirk@fda.hhs.gov .
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Veterinary Research Associates, Inc., 2817 West Country Rd., 54G, Fort Collins, CO 80524, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, ANADA 200-073 for Ketamine Hydrochloride Injection, USP, to Putney, Inc., 400 Congress St., suite 200, Portland, ME 04101. Accordingly, the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.1222a to reflect this change of sponsorship.
Following these changes of sponsorship, Veterinary Research Associates, Inc., is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. In addition, Putney, Inc., is not currently listed in the animal drug regulations as a sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for Veterinary Research Associates, Inc., and to add entries for Putney, Inc.
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.
