21 CFR Part 558
New Animal Drugs For Use In Animal Feeds; Semduramicin; Technical
Amendments
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

[[Page 57928]]
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations that reflect approval of a new animal drug application
(NADA) filed by Pfizer, Inc. The previous amendment, which appeared in
the Federal Register of April 13, 1994 (59 FR 17476), provided for
making a semduramicin Type A medicated article used to make a Type C
medicated broiler chicken feed for the prevention of coccidiosis. The
agency has since realized it needs to more accurately reflect both the
assay limits for semduramicin Type A articles and the limitation for
its use. This action is being taken to ensure the accuracy and
consistency of the regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 24, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Letonja, Center for Veterinary
Medicine (HFV-135), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl.,
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1656.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of April 13, 1994
(59 FR 17476), FDA published a final rule to announce the approval of
Pfizer's new animal drug application (NADA) 140-940. The NADA provides
for use of AviaxTM (semduramicin sodium) Type A medicated article
to make a semduramicin Type C medicated broiler chicken feed used for
the prevention of coccidiosis. That document inadvertently failed to
reflect the correct assay limits for Type A medicated articles in 21
CFR 558.4 and the correct limitation for use in 21 CFR
558.555(b)(1)(iii). This document corrects those errors. Due to these
amendments, FDA is also providing an amended freedom of information
(FOI) summary for public display. The FOI summary has been amended to
reflect the correct assay limits and efficacy evaluation. The amended
copy of the FOI summary is available at the Dockets Management Branch
(HFA-305), 12420 Parklawn Dr., rm. 1-23, Rockville, MD 20857, between 9
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
