21 CFR Part 520

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0003]


Oral Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Phenylpropanolamine

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 an original new animal drug 
application (NADA) filed by Pegasus Laboratories, Inc. The NADA 
provides for the veterinary prescription use of phenylpropanolamine 
hydrochloride chewable tablets for the control of urinary incontinence 
due to urethral sphincter hypotonus in dogs.

DATES: This rule is effective March 19, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa M. Troutman, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-116), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8322, email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pegasus Laboratories, Inc., 8809 Ely Rd., 
Pensacola, FL 32514, filed NADA 141-324 that provides for the 
veterinary prescription use of PROIN (phenylpropanolamine 
hydrochloride) Chewable Tablets for the control of urinary incontinence 
due to urethral sphincter hypotonus in dogs. The NADA is approved as of 
August 4, 2011, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR part 520 to 
reflect the approval.
    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.
    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.
    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 on the date of approval.
    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.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 520

    Animal drugs.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and

amended as follows:
