The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of effectiveness, target animal safety, and human food safety data that may be used in support of a new animal drug application (NADA) or supplemental NADA for veterinary prescription use of ceftiofur sodium injection for treatment of bacterial pneumonia in goats. The data, contained in Public Master File (PMF) 5671, were compiled under National Research Support Project-7 (NRSP-7), a national agricultural research program for obtaining clearances for use of new drugs in minor animal species and for special uses.
Ceftiofur sodium injection, used for the treatment of goats for bacterial pneumonia, is a new animal drug under section 201(v) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 321(v)). As a new animal drug, ceftiofur sodium is subject to section 512 of the act (21 U.S.C. 360b), requiring that its uses in goats be the subject of an approved NADA or supplemental NADA. Goats are a minor species under § 514.1(d)(1)(ii) (21 CFR 514.1(d)(1)(ii)).
The NRSP-7 Project, Western Region, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, has provided target animal safety, effectiveness, and human food safety data for veterinary prescription use of ceftiofur sterile powder for reconstitution and injection in goats for treatment of bacterial pneumonia due to Pasteurella (Mannheimia) haemolytica and P. multocida. These data are contained in PMF 5671.
Under 21 CFR 25.15(d) and § 25.33(d)(4) (21 CFR 25.33(d)(4)), sponsors of NADA's and supplemental NADA's for drugs in minor species, including wildlife and endangered species, are categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement when the drug has been approved for use in another or the same species where similar animal management practices are used. The categorical exclusion applies unless, as in § 25.21 (21 CFR 25.21), extraordinary circumstances exist which indicate that the proposed action may significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, based upon information available, FDA agrees that when the application is submitted, the applicant may claim a categorical exclusion under § 25.33(d)(4) provided that the applicant can state that to the best of the applicant's knowledge, as in § 25.21, no extraordinary circumstances exist. It is assumed that the applicant has made a reasonable effort to determine that no extraordinary circumstances exist.
Sponsors of NADA's or supplemental NADA's may, without further authorization, reference the PMF to support approval of an application filed under § 514.1(d). An NADA or supplemental NADA must include, in addition to reference to the PMF, animal drug labeling and other information needed for approval, such as: Data supporting extrapolation from a major species in which the drug is currently approved or authorized reference to such data; data concerning manufacturing methods, facilities, and controls; and information addressing potential environmental impacts of the manufacturing process. Persons desiring more information concerning the PMF or requirements for approval of an NADA or supplement may contact Naba K. Das (address above).
