II. Withdrawal of Approval of New Animal Drug Applications

    Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA, Inc., 3239 Satellite Blvd., 
Duluth, GA 30096 (drug labeler code 000010) requested that FDA withdraw 
approval of ANADA 200-088 for SEDAZINE (xylazine hydrochloride)

effective December 10, 2023. The animal drug regulations are being 
amended to reflect this action.

    The sponsors of the approved applications listed in table 3 have 
informed FDA that they have transferred ownership of, and all rights 
and interest in, these applications to another sponsor. The regulations 
cited in table 2 are amended to reflect these actions.

IV. Technical Amendments

    FDA is making the following amendments to improve the accuracy and 
readability of the animal drug regulations.
     21 CFR 510.600(c) is amended to remove entries for Belcher 
Pharmaceuticals, LLC, as the firm is no longer the sponsor of approved 
applications, and to add entries for Ajenat Pharmaceuticals, LLC and 
Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.
     21 CFR 522.772 is amended to present an accurate list of 
bovine parasites.
     21 CFR 522.2005 is amended to introduce sponsor drug 
labeler codes for approved propofol injectable solution.
     21 CFR 522.2630(c) is amended to present the sequence of 
drug labeler codes for tulathromycin injectable solutions.

V. Legal Authority

    This final rule is issued under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)). Although deemed 
a rule pursuant to the FD&C Act, this document does not meet the 
definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a ``rule of 
particular applicability'' and is not subject to the congressional 
review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808. Likewise, this is not a rule 
subject to Executive Order 12866.

List of Subjects

21 CFR Part 510

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

21 CFR Part 516

    Administrative practice and procedure, Animal drugs, Confidential 
business information, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

21 CFR Parts 520, 522, and 524

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
