DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
21 CFR Part 522

[Docket No. 95N-0096]


Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; 
Guaifenesin

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect the change of the animal drug name from 
glyceryl guaiacolate to guaifenesin. This amendment is an 
administrative change to redesignate glyceryl guaiacolate products as 
guaifenesin products.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 23, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mohammad I. Sharar, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-216), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1722.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of June 30, 1972 (37 
FR 12936) and November 5, 1976 (41 FR 48732), FDA published final rules 
which reflected approval of injectable glyceryl guaiacolate products. 
In the Federal Register of December 10, 1984 (49 FR 48038), FDA 
published a final rule which reflected approval of a guaifenesin powder 
for injection. Guaifenesin is the newer chemical name for glyceryl 
guaiacolate. At the time of the December 10, 1984, approval, the prior 
approvals were not amended to reflect the newer chemical name. FDA is 
amending the regulations in part 522 (21 CFR part 522) to reflect the 
newer chemical name by removing Secs. 522.1060, 522.1060a, and 
522.1060b; by adding a new sponsor to Sec. 522.1085; and by adding new 
Sec. 522.1086 Guaifenesin injection.
    FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.24(a)(9) that this action is of 
a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental 
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 522

    Animal drugs.

    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 522 is 
amended as follows:
