DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
21 CFR Parts 520 and 558


Animal Drugs, Feeds, and Related Products; Ronnel; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to remove that portion of the regulations reflecting 
approval of new animal drug applications (NADA's) held by Moorman 
Manufacturing Co. and Pitman-Moore, Inc., that provide for the use of 
ronnel oral dosage forms and ronnel Type A medicated article. The 
approval of these NADA's were previously withdrawn. This action is 
necessary to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David L. Gordon, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-238), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1737.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has discovered that certain errors have 
been incorporated into the agency's codified regulations on animal 
drugs. The errors in the regulations addressed in this document follow.
    In a notice published in the Federal Register of July 19, 1989 (54 
FR 30268), the agency announced that Pitman-Moore, Inc., had requested 
that FDA withdraw NADA's 12-360 and 12-361. In a final rule published 
in that same issue of the Federal Register (54 FR 30205), the agency 
inadvertently omitted an amendment to the regulations to remove 
Sec. 520.2080 (21 CFR 520.2080).
    In a notice published in the Federal Register of June 18, 1990 (55 
FR 24646), the agency announced that Moorman Manufacturing Co. had 
requested that FDA withdraw NADA 13-450. In a final rule published in 
that same issue of the Federal Register (55 FR 24556), the agency 
inadvertently omitted an amendment to the regulations to remove 
Sec. 558.525 (21 CFR 558.525).
    At this time, the agency is correcting these errors. Accordingly, 
Secs. 520.2080 and 558.525 are removed because the sections no longer 
represent approved products.
