Medicine (HFV–246), Food and Drug

Administration, 7500 Standish Pl.,

Rockville, MD 20855, 301–594–1765.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice

published in the Federal Register of

April 26, 1995 (60 FR 20497), CVM

provided an opportunity for hearing on

a proposal to withdraw approval of 11

MFA’s held by Benton County Ag

Center, Inc., for the manufacture of

animal feeds bearing or containing new

animal drugs. CVM took this action

based on the firm’s apparent failure to

comply with agency CGMP

requirements for medicated animal

feeds as evidenced by inspections

conducted on December 22, 1992, and

May 3, 4, 10, and 11, 1994.

In a letter that FDA received on May

23, 1995, in response to the notice,

Benton County Ag Center, Inc., stated it

had made the necessary corrections to

bring its operations into compliance

with CGMP requirements since the last

inspection. The letter requested that

FDA reinspect the feed mill to verify its

compliance status, and to withdraw the

NOOH.

On July 17 through 19, 1995, the Iowa

Department of Agriculture, under

contract with FDA pursuant to section

702(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and

Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C.

372(a)), reinspected the feed mill and

found that the firm had corrected the

previously noted CGMP deficiencies

that had formed the basis for the NOOH.

Additionally, FDA believes that the firm

has taken measures to ensure that it will

remain in compliance with CGMP’s.

Accordingly, CVM is withdrawing the

April 26, 1995, NOOH on the proposal

to withdraw approval of the firm’s

MFA’s.

This notice is issued under the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(sec. 512 (21 U.S.C. 360b)) and under

authority delegated to the Director,

Center for Veterinary Medicine (21 CFR

5.84).

Dated: April 2, 1996.

Deputy Director, Center for Veterinary

Medicine.

C17unsaturated alkyl)-1-[2-(C18 and C18

unsaturated amido)ethyl]-4,5-dihydro-1-

upon a request from the petitioner, FDA

published an amended notice in the
