Animal Drugs, Feeds, and Related Products

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to remove those portions reflecting approval of one 
new animal drug application (NADA) held by Babineaux's Veterinary 
Products for diethylcarbamazine citrate syrup, and two NADA's held by 
Schein Pharmaceutical/Steris Laboratories for phenylbutazone injection 
and oxytocin injection. In a notice published elsewhere in this issue 
of the Federal Register, FDA is withdrawing approval of these NADA's as 
requested by their sponsors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31, 1997.

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: Babineaux's Veterinary Products, Inc., 6425 
Airline Hwy., Metairie, LA 70003, is the sponsor of NADA 46-147 for 
Dirocide (diethylcarbamazine citrate) Syrup. Schein Pharmaceutical, 
Inc./Steris Laboratories, Inc., 620 North 51st Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85043-
4705, is the sponsor of NADA 48-391 for phenylbutazone injection, and 
NADA 49-183 for oxytocin injection.
    The sponsors requested withdrawal of approval of the NADA's under 
21 CFR 514.115(d) because the products are no longer being marketed.
    The regulations are amended in 21 CFR 520.622b(a)(2), 522.1680(b), 
and 522.1720(b)(2) to remove those portions which reflect approval of 
these NADA's.

[[Page 38906]]

    Also, with the withdrawal of approval of NADA 46-147, Babineaux's 
Veterinary Products is no longer the sponsor of any approved NADA's. 
Therefore, 21 CFR 510.600(c)(1) and (2) are amended to remove entries 
for this firm.
