**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
Monsanto Co., 800 North Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63167, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 140-872 for POSILAC (sometribove zinc suspension) to Elanco Animal Health, A Division of Eli Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285. Accordingly, the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.2112 to reflect this change of sponsorship.
Following this change of sponsorship, Monsanto Co. is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for Monsanto Co.
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.
