21 CFR Part 520


Oral Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Oxibendazole Paste

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 supplemental new animal drug 
application (NADA) filed by Pfizer, Inc. The supplemental NADA provides 
for revised food safety labeling for oxibendazole paste administered 
orally to horses as an antiparasitic.

DATES: This rule is effective June 8, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie R. Berson, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-110), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-7540, e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, NY 
10017-5755, filed a supplement to NADA 121-042 for use of ANTHELCIDE EQ 
(oxibendazole) Paste administered orally to horses as an antiparasitic. 
The supplemental NADA provides for revised food safety labeling. The 
supplemental NADA is approved as of April 12, 2006, and the regulations 
are amended in 21 CFR 520.1638 to reflect the approval.

[[Page 33237]]

    Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of 
additional safety or effectiveness data or information. Therefore, a 
freedom of information summary is not required.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(d)(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.
