**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
Merial Ltd., 3239 Satellite Blvd., Bldg. 500, Duluth, GA 30096-4640, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following 10 approved NADAs to Huvepharma AD, 33 James Boucher Blvd., Sophia 1407, Bulgaria: NADA 036-304, 049-179, 049-180, 118-507, 040-264, 041-541, 044-016, 046-209, 049-934, and 099-150. Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations to reflect the transfer of ownership.
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.
