Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0002
New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor; Penicillin G Benzathine and
Penicillin G Procaine Suspension; Penicillin G Procaine Aqueous
Suspension
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for two new animal drug applications (NADAs) from G. C. Hanford Manufacturing Co. to Norbrook
Laboratories, Ltd.
DATES: This rule is effective September 3, 2010.
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: G. C. Hanford Manufacturing Co., P.O. Box 1017, Syracuse, NY 13201, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 65-493 for
Penicillin G Procaine Aqueous Suspension and NADA 65-500 for Penicillin
G Benzathine and Penicillin G Procaine Suspension, to Norbrook
Laboratories, Ltd., Station Works, Newry BT35 6JP, Northern Ireland.
Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 522.1696a and 522.1696b to reflect the transfer of ownership.
In addition, FDA has noticed that ``G. C. Hanford'' and ``GTC
Biotherapeutics, Inc.'' are not spelled correctly in the listing of sponsors of approved NADAs. At this time, the table in 21 CFR 510.600(c)(1) is amended. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
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.
