21 CFR Part 520

 

Oral Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Penicillin G Potassium in 
Turkey Drinking Water

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect approval of an abbreviated new animal drug 
application (ANADA) filed by I. D. Russell Co. Laboratories. The ANADA 
provides for use of penicillin G potassium powder to make a turkey 
drinking water for the treatment of erysipelas caused by Erysipelotrix 
rhusiopathiae.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  August 18, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie R. Berson, Center For 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-135), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1643.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. D. Russell Co. Laboratories, 1301 Iowa 
Ave., Longmont, CO 80501, filed ANADA 200-106 which provides for use of 
a penicillin G potassium powder to make a medicated drinking water for 
turkeys used for the treatment of erysipelas in turkeys caused by 
Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.
    Approval of I. D. Russell's ANADA 200-106 for penicillin G 
potassium powder to make a turkey drinking water is as a generic copy 
of Solvay's NADA 55-060 for the same product. The ANADA is approved as 
of July 21, 1994, and the regulations are amended by revising 
Sec. 520.1696b(b)(21 CFR 520.1696b(b)) to reflect the approval.
    In addition, the infective agent of turkey erysipelas has been 
renamed from Erysipelothrix insidiosa to E. rhusiopathiae. The labeling 
of the pioneer and the generic products use the new name. The 
regulations are amended in Sec. 520.1696b(c)(2) to reflect the new 
name.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of part 20 
(21 CFR part 20) and Sec. 514.11(e)(2)(ii) (21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii)), a 
summary of safety and effectiveness data and information submitted to 
support approval of this application may be seen in the Dockets 
Management Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, rm. 1-23, 
12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., 
Monday through Friday.
    The agency has carefully considered the potential environmental 
effects of this action. FDA has concluded that the action will not have 
a significant impact on the human environment, and that an 
environmental impact statement is not required. The agency's finding of 
no significant impact and the evidence supporting that finding, 
contained in an environmental assessment, may be seen in the Dockets 
Management Branch (address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday 
through Friday.
