II. Change of Sponsorship

SmartVet USA, Inc., 22201 West Innovation Dr., suite 170A, Olathe, KS 66061-1304 has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following application to Sparhawk Laboratories, Inc., 12340 Santa Fe Trail Dr., Lenexa, KS 66215:

File No.	Product name	21 CFR Section
200-348	ECOMECTIN (ivermectin) Topical Solution	524.1193

Following this withdrawal of approval, SmartVet USA, Inc. is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, it will be removed from the list of sponsors of approved applications in § 510.600(c) (21 CFR 510.600(c)).

Strategic Veterinary Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 100 NW. Airport Rd., St. Joseph, MO 64503 has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following application to Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd., Broomhill Rd., Tallaght, Dublin 24, Ireland:

File No.	Product name	21 CFR Section
109-305	Oxytocin Injection	522.1680

The animal drug regulations are being amended to reflect these changes of sponsorship.

III. Withdrawals of Approval

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

File No.	Sponsor	Product name	21 CFR Section
047-055	Watson Laboratories, Inc., 311 Bonnie Circle, Corona, CA 92880	Chorionic Gonadotropin Powder for Injection	522.1081

139-633	Wildlife Laboratories, Inc., 1230 W. Ash St., Suite D, Windsor, CO 80550	WILDNIL (carfentanil citrate) Injection	522.300

Following this withdrawal of approval, Watson Laboratories, Inc. is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, it will be removed from the list of sponsors of approved applications in § 510.600(c).

Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADAs 047-055, 104-606, and 139-633, and all supplements and amendments thereto, is withdrawn, effective April 9, 2018. As provided in the regulatory text of this document, the animal drug regulations are amended to reflect these actions.

IV. Technical Amendments

Western Chemical, Inc., 1269 Lattimore Rd., Ferndale, WA 98248 has informed FDA that it has changed its name and address to Syndel USA, 1441 W. Smith Rd., Ferndale, WA 98248. ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc., 1000 North 30th St., Quincy, IL 62305-3115 has informed FDA that it has changed its name to ADM Animal Nutrition, Inc. Accordingly, we are amending § 510.600(c) to reflect these changes.

We are also making technical amendments to update the scientific name of a pathogenic bacterium, to accurately list the concentrations of ingredients in a combination new animal drug, and to correctly list the assay limits and maximum drug concentration in Type B medicated feeds for a combination new animal drug used in feed. These actions are being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.

V. Legal Authority

This final rule is issued under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C.360b(i)), which requires Federal Register publication of “notice[s] . . . effective as a regulation,” of the conditions of use of approved new animal drugs. This rule sets forth technical amendments to the regulations to codify recent actions on approved new animal drug applications and corrections to improve the accuracy of the regulations, and as such does not impose any burden on regulated entities.

Although denominated a rule pursuant to the FD&C Act, this document 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. Likewise, this is not a rule subject to Executive Order 12866, which defines a rule as “an agency statement of general applicability and future effect, which the agency intends to have the force and effect of law, that is designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or to describe the procedure or practice requirements of an agency.”
