**AGENCY:**
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
**ACTION:**
Final rule; technical amendment.
**SUMMARY:**
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for four approved new animal drug applications (NADAs) from Anthony Products, Co. to Cross Vetpharm Group, Ltd.
**DATES:**
This rule is effective June 20, 2003.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
David R. Newkirk, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-6967, e-mail: *[email protected].*
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
Anthony Products, Co., 5600 Peck Rd., Arcadia, CA 91006, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following four approved NADAs to Cross Vetpharm Group, Ltd., Broomhill Rd., Tallaght, Dublin 24, Ireland.
| NADA Number | Trade Name | 21 CFR Section |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 049-187 | PHEN-BUTA (phenylbutazone) Vet Tablets; | 520.1720a |
| 122-447 | FURA-SEPTIN (nitrofurazone) Soluble Dressing | 524.1580b |
| 130-136 | Oxytocin Injection | 522.1680 |
| 140-582 | BIOCYL 50; BIOCYL 100 (oxytetracycline) | 522.1662a |
Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in §§ 522.1662a, 522.1680, and 524.1580b (21 CFR 522.1662a, 522.1680, and 524.1580b) to reflect the transfer of ownership. No amendment of 21 CFR 520.1720a is necessary as each sponsor owns additional phenylbutazone products.
In addition, § 522.1662a is being revised to reflect current format. This action is being taken to improve consistency between sections of the regulations.
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.
