    In addition, Veterinary Service, Inc. 4100 Bangs Ave., Modesto, CA 
95356, has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, 
NADA 065-252 for STREP-SOL (streptomycin sulfate) Oral Solution to 
Huvepharma AD, 5th Floor, 3A Nikolay Haitov Str., 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria.
    Also, Elanco Animal Health, Inc., A Division of Eli Lilly & Co.,

RECONCILE (fluoxetine hydrochloride) Chewable Tablets to Nexcyon 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 644 West Washington Ave., Madison, WI 53703.
    At this time, the regulations are being amended to reflect these 
changes of sponsorship. Following these changes of sponsorship, Akorn 
Animal Health, Inc., Nexcyon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and 
V[eacute]toquinol USA, Inc. will now be the sponsors of an approved 
application while Bioniche Animal Health USA, Inc. and Veterinary 
Service, Inc. will no longer be the sponsors of an approved 
application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to reflect 
these changes.
    FDA is also amending the regulations at 21 CFR 558.76 to remove a 
limitation on the concentrations of bacitracin methylene disalicyclate 
Type A medicated articles that can be used to manufacture medicated 
feed for quail. In addition, FDA is removing reserved 21 CFR 558.105 
for which there is no entry. These actions are being taken to improve 
the accuracy of the regulations.
    Also, V[eacute]toquinol N.-A., Inc., 2000 chemin Georges, Lavaltrie 
(PQ), Canada, J5T 3S5, has requested that FDA withdraw approval of 
ANADA 200-305 for Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride Soluble Powder because 
the product is no longer manufactured or marketed. Note this ANADA was 
identified as being affected by guidance for industry (GFI) #213, ``New 
Animal Drugs and New Animal Drug Combination Products Administered in 
or on Medicated Feed or Drinking Water of Food-Producing Animals: 
Recommendations for Drug Sponsors for Voluntarily Aligning Product Use 
Conditions with GFI #209,'' December 2013.
    Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice 
that approval of ANADA 200-305, and all supplements and amendments 
thereto, is withdrawn, effective December 26, 2014. As provided in the 
regulatory text of this document, the animal drug regulations are 
amended to reflect this voluntary withdrawal 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.
