21 CFR Parts 510 and 522

[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.
