21 CFR Part 558


New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Salinomycin and Tylosin 
Phosphate

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect approval of a new animal drug application 
(NADA) filed by Elanco Animal Health. The NADA provides for use of 
approved, single-ingredient salinomycin and tylosin phosphate Type A 
medicated articles to make two-way combination Type C medicated feeds 
used as an aid in the prevention of coccidiosis, and for increased rate 
of weight gain and improved feed efficiency in broiler chickens.

DATES: This rule is effective December 5, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles J. Andres, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-1600, e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elanco Animal Health, A Division of Eli 
Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, filed NADA 
141-198 that provides for use of BIO-COX (30 or 60 grams per pound (g/
lb) salinomycin activity) and TYLAN (10, 40, or 100 g/lb tylosin 
phosphate) Type A medicated articles to make two-way combination Type C 
medicated broiler chicken feeds. The combination Type C medicated feeds 
contain 40 to 60 g/ton salinomycin and 4 to 50 g/ton tylosin phosphate 
and are used for the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria 
tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. brunetti, and E. 
mivati, and for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed 
efficiency in broiler chickens. The NADA is approved as of September 4, 
2002, and the regulations in 21 CFR 558.550 and 558.625 are being 
amended to reflect the approval. The basis of approval is discussed in 
the freedom of information summary.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR 
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and 
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of 
this application may be seen in the Dockets Management Branch (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, 
Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(2) that this action 
is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an 
environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is 
required.
    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 in 21 CFR Part 558

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
