In the November 19, 1999, Federal Register FDA published a final rule amending the new animal drug regulations to implement the medicated feed mill licensing requirements of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996 (ADAA). The ADAA replaced the requirement for feed mills to have an approved medicated feed application (MFA) for the manufacture of each medicated feed with the need for medicated feed mills to be licensed with FDA. Licensed facilities are allowed to manufacture animal feeds from Category II, Type A medicated articles. In addition, the ADAA amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to provide the Agency with the authority, to the extent consistent with the public health, to exempt facilities that manufacture certain types of medicated feed from the requirement of obtaining a medicated feed mill license. This rule removed the medicated feed procedural regulations in Title 21, Part 514 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and placed a new section, Title 21, Part 515 in the CFR. The final rule became effective on December 20, 1999.
