SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for three new animal 
drug applications (NADA's) from Ciba-Geigy Animal Health, Ciba-Geigy 
Corp. to Novartis Animal Health US, Inc.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 28, 1997.

Medicine (HFV-102), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ciba-Geigy Animal Health, Ciba-Geigy Corp., 
P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, has informed FDA that it has 
transferred ownership of, and all rights and interests in, NADA's 140-
915, 141-026, and 141-035 to Novartis Animal Health US, Inc., P.O. Box 
18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300. Accordingly, the agency is amending 
the regulations in 21 CFR 510.600(c)(1) and (c)(2) by removing Ciba-

listing for Novartis Animal Health US, Inc. The drug labeler code 
assigned is being retained for the new sponsor.
