Hydrochloride Soluble Powder; Penicillin G Potassium in Drinking Water; 
Tetracycline Powder

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 three abbreviated 
new animal drug applications (ANADAs) for lincomycin hydrochloride; 
penicillin G potassium, USP; and tetracycline hydrochloride soluble 
powders administered in drinking water from Teva Animal Health, Inc., 
to Quo Vademus, LLC.

DATES: This rule is effective April 9, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven D. Vaughn, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7520 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8300, email: 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6d1e19081b0803431b0c180a05032d0b090c4305051e430a021b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f98a8d9c8f9c97d78f988c9e9197b99f9d98d791918ad79e968f">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Teva Animal Health, Inc., 3915 South 48th 
Street Ter., St. Joseph, MO 64503, has informed FDA that it has 
transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, ANADA 200-136 
for Tetracycline Hydrochloride Soluble Powder 324; ANADA 200-303 for 
Lincomycin Hydrochloride Soluble Powder; and ANADA 200-347 for 
Penicillin G Potassium, USP, all soluble powders administered in 
drinking water to Quo Vademus, LLC, 277 Faison West McGowan Rd., 
Kenansville, NC 28349. Accordingly, the Agency is amending the 
regulations in part 520 (21 CFR part 520) to reflect the transfer of 
ownership and a current format.
    In addition FDA has noticed two errors in Sec.  520.1696 Penicillin 
oral dosage forms. At this time, Sec.  520.1696a is being removed 
because no sponsor is listed, and an obsolete drug labeler code is 
being removed from Sec.  520.1696d.

[[Page 20988]]

These actions are being taken to improve the accuracy 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.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 520

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
