21 CFR Part 522

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0665]


Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Tylosin

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 Elanco Animal Health. The supplemental NADA 
provides for changing scientific nomenclature for a bovine pathogen on 
labeling for tylosin injectable solution.

DATES: This rule is effective March 19, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy L. Burnsteel, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-130), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8341, e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elanco Animal Health, A Division of Eli 
Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, filed a 
supplement to NADA 12-965 for TYLAN (tylosin) Injection, an injectable 
solution used for the treatment of animal diseases associated with 
several bacterial pathogens. The supplemental NADA provides for 
changing a bovine pathogen name on product labeling. The supplemental 
NADA is approved as of February 24, 2009, and the regulations in 21 CFR 
522.2640 and 522.2640a are amended to reflect the approval.
    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(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.
