New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for 18 new animal drug 
applications (NADAs) and 1 abbreviated new animal drug application 
(ANADA) from Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division of Wyeth, a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc., to Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, 
Inc. (Boehringer). In addition, FDA is amending the animal drug 
regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for 15 NADAs from Fort Dodge 
Animal Health, Division of Wyeth Holdings Corp., a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc., to Boehringer.

DATES: This rule is effective March 5, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R. Newkirk, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7520 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8307, e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division of Wyeth, 
a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, 
NY 10017 (Pfizer) has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership 
of, and all rights and interest in, the following 18 approved NADAs and 
1 approved ANADA to Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., 2621 North 
Belt Highway, St. Joseph, MO 64506-2002 (Boehringer): NADA 15-030, 32-
702, 34-879, 45-290, 55-021, 55-022, 55-030, 55-048, 55-054, 55 058, 
97-222, 108-114, 119-688, 140-684, 140-806, 140-854, 141-096, and 141-
274; and ANADA 200-088. In addition, Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division 
of Wyeth Holdings Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, has 
informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and 
interest in, the following 15 approved NADAs to Boehringer: NADA 6-084, 
8-774, 12-198, 13-624, 33-127, 33-318, 33-319, 33-373, 40-181, 46-146, 
65-269, 99-388, 122-271, 122-272, and 141-108. Accordingly, the agency 
is amending the regulations in 21 CFR parts 520, 522, 524, and 526 to 
reflect the transfer of ownership. In addition, several sections are 
being revised to reflect the current format.
    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.
