21 CFR Parts 510 and 520


 
New Animal Drugs; Neomycin Sulfate Soluble Powder; Change of 
Sponsor's Address


AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.


ACTION: Final rule.


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


SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental abbreviated new 
animal drug application (ANADA) filed by Bimeda, Inc., and a change of 
this sponsor's address. The supplemental ANADA provides for use of 
neomycin sulfate soluble powder in the drinking water of growing 
turkeys for the control of mortality associated with Escherichia coli 
organisms susceptible to neomycin.


DATES: This rule is effective December 5, 2002.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lonnie W. Luther, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-8549, e-mail: 
lluther@cvm.fda.gov.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Bimeda, Inc., 288 County Rd. 28, LeSueur, MN 
56058-9322, filed a supplement to ANADA 200-050 that provides for use 
of Neomycin 325 Soluble Powder for making medicated drinking water for 
administration to cattle (excluding veal calves), swine, sheep, and 
goats for the treatment and control of colibacillosis (bacterial 
enteritis) caused by E. coli susceptible to neomycin. The supplemental 
ANADA provides for use of neomycin in the drinking water of growing 
turkeys for the control of mortality associated with E. coli organisms 
susceptible to neomycin. The supplemental application is approved as of 
July 10, 2002, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 520.1484 to 
reflect the approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom 
of information summary.
    In addition, Bimeda, Inc., has informed FDA of a change of sponsor 
address to 291 Forest Prairie Rd., LeSueur, MN 56058. Accordingly, the 
agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 510.600 to reflect the 
change of sponsor address.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR 
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and 
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of 
this application may be seen in the Dockets Management Branch (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, 
Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(1) that this action 
is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an 
environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is 
required.
    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.
