21 CFR Parts 522 and 558

[Docket No. FDA-2012-N-0002]


New Animal Drugs; Ceftiofur Crystalline Free Acid; Gamithromycin; 
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 actions for new animal drug 
applications (NADAs) and abbreviated new animal drug applications 
(ANADAs) during February 2012. FDA is also informing the public of the 
availability of summaries of the basis of approval and of environmental 
review documents, where applicable.

DATES: This rule is effective May 3, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George K. Haibel, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-9019, 
email:[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine is 
adopting the use of a monthly Federal Register document to codify 
approval actions for NADAs and ANADAs. CVM will no longer publish a 
separate rule for each action. This approach will allow a more 
efficient use of available resources.
    In this document, FDA is amending the animal drug regulations to 
reflect the original and supplemental approval actions during February 
2012, as listed in table 1 of this document. FDA is also informing the 
public of the availability of summaries of the basis of approval (FOI 
Summaries) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and of 
environmental review documents required under the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), where applicable.

\1\ The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is categorically excluded (CE) from the requirement to submit an environmental
  assessment (EA) or an environmental impact statement (EIS) because it is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant
  effect on the human environment.

effectiveness data is discussed in an FOI Summary that may be seen in 
the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug 
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852,
