21 CFR Parts 510 and 524


Ophthalmic and Topical Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Ivermectin 
Pour-On

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 an abbreviated new animal drug 
application (ANADA) filed by ECO LLC. The ANADA provides for topical 
use of ivermectin on cattle for treatment and control of various 
species of external and internal parasites.

DATES: This rule is effective January 30, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lonnie W. Luther, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-8549, e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ECO LLC, 8209 Hollister Ave., Las Vegas, NV 
89131, filed ANADA 200-348 for ECOMECTIN (ivermectin). The application 
provides for topical use of 0.5 percent ivermectin solution on cattle 
for the treatment and control of various species of gastrointestinal 
nematodes, lungworms, grubs, horn flies, lice, and mites. ECO's 
ECOMECTIN is approved as a generic copy of Merial Limited's IVOMEC 
Pour-On for Cattle, approved under NADA 140-841. The ANADA is approved 
as of November 15, 2002, and 21 CFR 524.1193 is amended to reflect the 
approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of 
information summary.
    In addition, ECO LLC 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) is being amended to add entries for the firm.
    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)(1) 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.
