FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, NY 10017, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, the following three approved NADAs to Schering- Plough Animal Health Corp., 1095 Morris Ave., Union, NJ 07083:

Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 526.88, 526.464b, and 526.464c to reflect the transfer of ownership.
