 II. Withdrawal of Approval of New Animal Drug Applications Med-Pharmex, Inc., 2727 Thompson Creek Rd., Pomona, CA 91767-1861 (drug labeler code (054925) requested that FDA withdraw approval of NADA 140-810 for DERMA-VET (nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton, triamcinolone acetonide) Ointment because the product is no longer manufactured or marketed. Accordingly, approval of NADA 140-810 was withdrawn effective December 23, 2024. The animal drug regulations do not require amendment as the sponsor's drug labeler code is not codified in 21 CFR 524.1600a. Mylan Institutional LLC, a Viatris Company, 3711 Collins Ferry Rd., Morgantown, WV 26505 (drug labeler code 063286) requested that FDA withdraw approval of ANADA 200-257 for Ketamine HCL (ketamine hydrochloride injection, USP) Injectable Solution because the product is no longer manufactured or marketed. Accordingly, approval of ANADA 200-257 was withdrawn effective June 29, 2023. The animal drug regulations do not require amendment as the sponsor's drug labeler code was removed from 21 CFR 522.1222 in a rule that published August 16, 2023 (88 FR 55559 at 55564). III. Changes of Sponsor The sponsors of the approved applications listed in table 2 have informed FDA that they have transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, these applications to another sponsor. The regulations cited in table 2 are amended to reflect these actions.

The entries in § 510.600(c) are amended to reflect this action. V. Technical Amendments FDA is making the following amendments to improve the accuracy and readability of the animal drug regulations. § 510.600(c) is amended to remove entries for Superior Equine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and United-AH II, LLC from the lists of sponsors of approved applications as these firms are no longer sponsors of an approved application.
                21 CFR 522.2630(b) is amended to present the sequence of drug labeler codes for tulathromycin injectable solutions. VI. Legal Authority This final rule is issued under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C.360b(i)). Although deemed a rule pursuant to the FD&C Act, this document does not meet the definition of “rule” in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a “rule of particular applicability” and is not subject to the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
