SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., 2621 North Belt Hwy., St. Joseph, MO 64506-2002, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 128-550 for ANCHOR Zinc Bacitracin Type A medicated article to Pennfield Oil Co., 14040 Industrial Rd., Omaha, NE 68137. Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 558.78 to reflect the transfer of ownership.

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 558

• Animal drugs
• Animal feeds

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 558 is amended as follows:

PART 558—NEW ANIMAL DRUGS FOR USE IN ANIMAL FEEDS

1. The authority citation for 21 CFR part 558 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 21 U.S.C. 360b, 371.

§ 558.78

[Amended]

2. Section 558.78 Bacitracin zinc is amended in paragraph (a)(2) by removing “To 000010” and by adding in its place “No. 053389”.
