21 CFR Part 558
New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Oxytetracycline
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 Pennfield Oil Co. that provides for a zero-
day preslaughter withdrawal time following use of oxytetracycline in
turkey and swine feed.
DATES: This rule is effective December 13, 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: Pennfield Oil Co., 14040 Industrial Rd.,
Omaha, NE 68144, filed a supplement to NADA 138-938 for PENNOX
(oxytetracycline) Type A medicated articles used for making medicated
feeds for the treatment of various bacterial diseases of livestock and
fish. The supplemental NADA provides for a zero-day withdrawal time
prior to slaughter when Type C medicated feeds containing
oxytetracycline are fed to turkeys or swine and for minor label
revisions. The supplemental application is approved as of November 26,
2007, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.450 to reflect the
approval, an editorial change, and a current format.
In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), summaries of safety and
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of
these applications 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.
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.

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and
redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 558 is
amended as follows:
