[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0665]

 
New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for 29 new animal drug 
applications (NADAs) and 2 abbreviated new animal drug applications 
(ANADAs) from Intervet, Inc., to Schering-Plough Animal Health Corp.

DATES:  This rule is effective November 25, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R. Newkirk, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8307, e-mail: 
david.newkirk@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intervet, Inc., P.O. Box 318, 29160 Intervet 
Lane, Millsboro, DE 19966, has informed FDA that it has transferred 
ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following 29 approved 
NADAs and 2 approved ANADAs to Schering-Plough Animal Health Corp., 556 
Morris Ave., Summit, NJ 07901: NADA 034-478, 034-621, 045-188, 102-380, 
104-494, 111-278, 120-648, 121-473, 128-620, 131-310, 131-675, 132-872, 
137-600, 138-612, 139-189, 140-856, 140-897, 140-927, 140-954, 140-992, 
141-222, 141-236, 141-258, 141-269, 141-276, 141-278, 141-280, 141-282, 
141-286; ANADA 200-134 and 200-239. Accordingly, the agency is amending 
the regulations in 21 CFR parts 520, 522 (21 CFR part 522), and 558 to 
reflect the transfer of ownership. In addition, Sec.  522.1081 is being 
revised to reflect a current format.
    Following these changes of sponsorship, Intervet, Inc., is no 
longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 
510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for Intervet, Inc.
    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.
