Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Oxytetracycline Injection, 200 Milligram/Milliliter
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 correct the indications for use for the 200 milligram (mg)/milliliter (mL) strength of oxytetracycline injectable solution used in beef cattle for the treatment and control of various bacterial diseases. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective June 6, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George K. Haibel, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-9019, e-mail: george.haibel@fda.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has found that the April 1, 2005, edition of Title 21 parts 500 to 599 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) does not accurately reflect the approved indications for use for the 200 mg/mL strength of oxytetracycline injectable solution. Certain indications of use for the 300 mg/mL strength of oxytetracycline injectable solution appear to have been included as an error in the section for the 200 mg/mL strength solution during reformatting (69 FR 31878, June 8, 2004). At this time, FDA is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 522.1660a to reflect the correct approved indications for use. 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.
