The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor's name from American Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc., to Abraxis Pharmaceuticals Products and to change the sponsor's mailing address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David R. Newkirk, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-6967, e-mail: [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

American Pharmaceuticals Partners, Inc., 2045 North Cornell Ave., Melrose Park, IL 60160, has informed FDA of a change of name and mailing address to Abraxis Pharmaceutical Products, a Div. of Abraxis Bioscience, 6133 River Rd., suite 500, Rosemont, Il 60018. Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 510.600(c) to reflect these changes.

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.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 510

• Administrative practice and procedure
• Animal drugs
• Labeling
• Reporting and recordkeeping requirements

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 510 is amended as follows:
