SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to remove those portions that reflect approval of 11 new animal drug applications (NADAs) listed below. In a notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is withdrawing approval of the NADAs.

DATES:

This rule is effective May 21, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Pamela K. Esposito, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-210), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-5593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The following sponsors have requested that FDA withdraw approval of the NADAs listed below because the products are no longer manufactured or marketed:

Sponsor	NADA Number Product (Drug)	21 CFR Cite Affected (Sponsor Drug Labeler Code)
Purina Mills, Inc., P.O. Box 66812, St. Louis, MO 63166-6812	NADA 48-915 Purina® Bot Control (trichlorfon)	520.2520a (017800)
Golden Sun Feeds, Inc., 111 South Fifth St., Estherville, IA 51334	NADA 97-567 Tylan® 10 Premix (tylosin phosphate)	558.625(b)(17) (021780)
	NADA 97-615 Swine Med-A-Mix TS 8000 Premix, Tylan® 5, 10, 20, 40 Sulfa-G (tylosin phosphate and sulfamethazine)	558.630(b)(4) and (b)(10) (021780)
Quali-Tech Products, Inc., 318 Lake Hazeltine Dr., Chaska, MN 55318-1093	NADA 110-440 Hygromix Hygrowormer Hyanthelmix (hygromycin B)	558.274(a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4), (c)(1)(i), and (c)(1)(ii) (016968)
Steris Laboratories Inc., 620 North 51st Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85043-4705	NADA 45-578 Lidocaine Hydrochloride With Epinephrine Injection 2%	522.1258 (000402)
	NADA 44-585 Oxytocin Injection	522.1680 (000402)
	NADA 45-737 Sodium Pentobarbital Injection	522.1704(b) (000402)
	NADA 45-848 Phenylbutazone Injection	522.1720 (000402)
	NADA 110-349 Dexamethasone Injection	522.540(c)(2) (000402)
	NADA 110-350 Dexamethasone Injection	522.540(b)(2)(ii) (000402)
	NADA 117-973 Prednisolone Sodium Succinate for Injection	522.1884(c) (000402)

Following the withdrawal of approval of these NADAs, Golden Sun Feeds, Inc., is no longer the sponsor of any approved applications. Therefore, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is amended to remove entries for the sponsor.

Steris Laboratories currently has another approved application for dexamethasone injection (NADA 104-606). Therefore, the regulation is not amended to reflect the withdrawal of approval of NADA 110-349 (dexamethasone injection).

Steris Laboratories NADA 44-585 oxytocin injection is not codified under 21 CFR 522.1680 oxytocin injection. Also, Steris Laboratories NADA 45-848 phenylbutazone injection is not codified under 21 CFR 522.1720 phenylbutazone injection. Therefore, amendments of the cited regulations are not required.

As provided below, the animal drug regulations are amended to reflect the withdrawal of approvals.

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.
