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 12 approved new 
animal drug applications (NADAs) from A. H. Robins Co. to Fort Dodge 
Animal Health, Division of Wyeth.

DATES: This rule is effective November 6, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lonnie W. Luther, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-8549, e-mail: 
lluther@cvm.fda.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. H. Robins Co., P.O. Box 518, Fort Dodge, 
IA 50501-0518, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership of, 
and all rights and interest in, the following 12 approved NADAs to Fort 
Dodge Animal Health, Division of Wyeth, 800 Fifth St. NW., Fort Dodge, 
IA 50501:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
        NADA Number                          Product Name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
034-879....................  DOPRAM-V Injectable
038-838....................  ROBAXIN-V Injectable
045-715....................  ROBAXIN-V Tablets
091-065....................  ROBIZONE-V
093-105....................  ROBIZONE-V
098-640....................  ROBIZONE Injectable 20%
101-777....................  Robinul-V Injectable

136-651....................  Guailaxin
141-003....................  Derm-Otic Ointment
141-004....................  Robamox-V
141-005....................  Robamox-V Tablets
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 
520.88b, 520.88f, 520.1380, 520.1720a, 522.775, 522.1066, 522.1085, 
522.1380, 522.1720, 522.2470, and 524.1600a to reflect the transfer of 
ownership and to reflect current format.
    Following this change of sponsorship, A. H. Robins Co. is no longer 
the sponsor of any approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) 
is being amended to remove the entries for A. H. Robins Co.
    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.
