    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    FDA is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of 43 supplemental NADAs and 52 supplemental ANADAs for revised labeling reflecting a change in marketing status from OTC to Rx for antimicrobial drugs of importance to human medicine administered to food-producing animals in medicated drinking water. These applications were identified as being affected by guidance for industry (GFI) #213, “New Animal Drugs and New Animal Drug Combination Products Administered in or on Medicated Feed or Drinking Water of Food-Producing Animals: Recommendations for Drug Sponsors for Voluntarily Aligning Product Use Conditions with GFI #209,” December 2013 (http://www.fda.gov/​downloads/​AnimalVeterinary/​GuidanceComplianceEnforcement/​GuidanceforIndustry/​UCM299624.pdf). Their change to Rx marketing status is consistent with the FDA CVM's initiative for the Judicious Use of Antimicrobials. The affected applications follow:

    The animal drug regulations are also being amended to reflect several non-substantive changes in format. These technical amendments are being made to improve the consistency and readability of the regulations.

    Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of similar supplemental NADAs and ANADAs changing the marketing status of antimicrobial drugs administered to food-producing animals in medicated feed.

    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.
