21 CFR Part 522


Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; 
Enrofloxacin

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 Bayer HealthCare LLC. The supplemental NADA 
provides for changing scientific nomenclature for a bovine respiratory 
pathogen on labeling for enrofloxacin injectable solution.

DATES: This rule is effective March 9, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Joan C. Gotthardt, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-130), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-7571, e-mail:  
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Bayer HealthCare LLC, Animal Health 
Division, P.O. Box 390, Shawnee Mission, KS 66201, filed a supplement 
to NADA 141 068 for BAYTRIL 100 (enrofloxacin) Injectable Solution used 
for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease associated with several 
bacterial pathogens. The supplemental NADA provides for changing a 
pathogen name from Pasteurella haemolytica to Mannheimia haemolytica on 
product labeling. The supplemental NADA is approved as of February 15, 
2007, and the regulations in 21 CFR 522.812 are amended to reflect the 
approval and a current format.
    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 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.
