21 CFR Part 510

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0002]

 
New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for hemoglobin 
glutamer-200 from Biopure Corp. to OPK Biotech, LLC.

DATES: This rule is effective January 18, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven D. Vaughn, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7520 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8300, e-mail: 
steven.vaughn@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Biopure Corp., 11 Hurley St., Cambridge, MA 
02141 has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, and all 
rights and interest in, NADA 141-067 for OXYGLOBIN (hemoglobin 
glutamer-200) to OPK Biotech, LLC, 11 and 39 Hurley St., Cambridge, MA 
02141. There is no change in drug labeler code.
    Following this change of sponsorship, Biopure Corp. is no longer 
the sponsor of an approved application. In addition, OPK Biotech, LLC, 
is not currently listed in the animal drug regulations as a sponsor of 
an approved application. Accordingly, Sec.  510.600 is being amended to 
reflect these changes.
    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.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 510

    Administrative practice and procedure, Animal drugs, Labeling, 
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and 
redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 510 is 
amended as follows:
