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:

Altana, Inc., 60 Baylis Rd., Melville, NY 11747, has informed FDA that it has changed its name to Nycomed US, Inc. 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:

PART 510—NEW ANIMAL DRUGS

2. In § 510.600 in the table in paragraph (c)(1), remove the entry for “Altana, Inc.” and alphabetically add a new entry for “Nycomed US, Inc.”; and in the table in paragraph (c)(2), revise the entry for “025463” to read as follows:
