21 CFR Part 520


Oral Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Fluoxetine

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 veterinary 
prescription use of fluoxetine hydrochloride chewable tablets for the 
treatment of canine separation anxiety.

DATES: This rule is effective February 12, 2007.

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: Elanco Animal Health, A Division of Eli 
Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, filed NADA 
141 272 that provides for veterinary prescription use of RECONCILE 
(fluoxetine hydrochloride) Chewable Tablets for the treatment of canine 
separation anxiety in conjunction with a behavior modification plan. 
The NADA is approved as of January 19, 2007, and the regulations in 
part 520 (21 CFR part 520) are amended by adding new Sec.  520.980 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 Division of Dockets Management 
(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.
    Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(i)), this approval qualifies for 
5 years of marketing exclusivity beginning January 19, 2007.
    FDA 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.
