AGENCY:

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect the withdrawal of approval of four new animal drug applications (NADAs), held by Quali-Tech Products, Inc., at the sponsor's request because the products are no longer manufactured or marketed.

DATES:

The rule is effective September 3, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David Alterman, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-212), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-453-6843, david.alterman@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Quali-Tech Products, Inc., has requested that FDA withdraw approval of the following four NADAs because the products, used to manufacture Type C medicated feeds, are no longer manufactured or marketed: NADA 097-980 for Quali-Tech TYLAN-10 (tylosin phosphate) Premix, NADA 118-815 for Q.T. BAN-TECH (pyrantel tartrate), NADA 132-705 for FLAVOMYCIN (bambermycins), and NADA 133-335 for STAFAC (virginiamycin) Swine Pak 10.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADAs 097-980, 118-815, 132-705, and 133-335, and all supplements and amendments thereto, is withdrawn. As provided in the regulatory text of this document, the animal drug regulations are amended to reflect these voluntary withdrawals of approval.

Following these withdrawals of approval, Quali-Tech Products, Inc., will no longer be the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for this firm.

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.
