    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    IDEXX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 7009 Albert Pick Rd., Greensboro, NC 27409, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 141-186 for SURPASS (diclofenac sodium) topical cream and NADA 141-174 for ACAREXX (ivermectin) otic suspension to Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., 2621 North Belt Highway, St. Joseph, MO 64506-2002.
