SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intervet Inc., P.O. Box 318, 29160 Intervet Lane, Millsboro, DE 19966, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 140-857 for EQUESTROLIN (luprostiol) injectable solution to Virbac AH, Inc., 3200 Meacham Blvd., Ft. Worth, TX 76137. Accordingly, the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.1290 to reflect the change of sponsorship and a current format.
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.
