 21 CFR Parts 510 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 the change of sponsor for three approved 
new animal drug applications (NADAs) for oxytetracycline premixes from 
Pfizer, Inc., to Phibro Animal Health, Inc. The drug labeler code for 
Phibro Animal Health, Inc., is also being listed.

DATES: This rule is effective June 18, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norman J. Turner, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-102), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0214.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, NY 
10017-5755, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and 
all rights and interests in, NADA 8-804 for Terramycin 
(oxytetracycline) Type A medicated articles, NADA 38-439 for 
Terramycin (oxytetracycline) for fish, and NADA 95-143 for 
OXTC (oxytetracycline) Type A medicated articles to Phibro 
Animal Health, Inc., One Parker Plaza, Fort Lee, NJ 07024. Accordingly, 
the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 558.450 to reflect the 
transfer of ownership.
    In addition, Phibro Animal Health, Inc., has not been previously 
listed in the animal drug regulations as a sponsor of an approved 
application. At this time, 21 CFR 510.600(c)(1) and (c)(2) is being 
amended to add entries for the firm.
    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.

List of Subjects

21 CFR Part 510

    Administrative practice and procedure, Animal drugs, Labeling, 
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

21 CFR Part 558

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and

558 are amended as follows:
