21 CFR Parts 510, 520, 522, and 558


New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for six new animal drug 
applications (NADA's) from Roussel-UCLAF SA, Animal Health Division to 
Hoechst Roussel Vet.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 5, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. McKay, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-102), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Roussel-UCLAF SA, Animal Health Division, 
102 Route de Noisy, 93235 Romainville Cedex, France, has informed FDA 
that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interests in, 
the approved NADA's (130-951, 131-310, 138-612, 140-824, 140-897, and 
140-992) to Hoechst Roussel Vet, 30 Independence Blvd., P.O. Box 4915, 
Warren, NJ 07059.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.'' 
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements 
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808. Accordingly, the agency is amending the 
regulations in 21 CFR parts 510, 520, 522, and 558 to reflect the 
change of sponsor. The agency is also amending 21 CFR 510.600(c)(1) and 
(c)(2) to remove the sponsor name for Roussel UCLAF SA because the firm 
no longer is the holder of any approved NADA's.
