ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Pfizer, Inc. The NADA provides for the veterinary prescription use of tulathromycin solution in cattle and in swine, by injection, for the management of respiratory disease. FDA is also amending the regulations to add the acceptable daily intake for total residues of tulathromycin and tolerances for residues of tulathromycin in edible tissues of cattle and swine. DATES: This rule is effective July 12, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joan C. Gotthardt, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV–130), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301–827–7571, email: joan.gotthardt@fda.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, NY 10017, filed NADA 141–244 for DRAXXIN (tulathromycin) Injectable Solution. The NADA provides for the veterinary prescription use of tulathromycin solution in cattle, by subcutaneous injection, for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni (Haemophilus somnus); for the control of respiratory VerDate jul<14>2003 14:34 Jul 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 disease in cattle at high risk of developing BRD associated with M. haemolytica, P. multocida, and H. somni; and in swine, by intramuscular injection, for the treatment of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, P. multocida, Bordetella bronchiseptica, and H. parasuis. The application is approved as of May 24, 2005, and the regulations are amended in part 522 (21 CFR part 522) by adding § 522.2630 and in part 556 (21 CFR part 556) by adding § 556.745 to reflect the approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of information (FOI) summary. In accordance with the FOI 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 Division of Dockets Management (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. Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(i)), this approval qualifies for 5 years of marketing exclusivity beginning May 24, 2005. The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(d)(5) that these actions are of a type that do 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Stephen Tomchik, Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, Department of State, Telephone (202) 663–2799 or FAX (202) 261–8199. ATTN: Regulatory Change, USML Sections 126.5 and 126.15. Two changes are made to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Part 126—General Policies and Provisions. The first change affects 22 CFR 126.5. This section describes inter alia the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate jul<14>2003 14:34 Jul 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 modalities by which exporters, without a license issued by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), may conduct permanent and temporary exports of defense articles to Canada, and temporary imports from Canada. These changes to 22 CFR 126.5 are designed to clarify for exporters the range of defense articles, related technical data, and defense services that will continue to require a license issued by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls for export to or temporary import from Canada. The list of items excluded from the provisions of Section 126.5 is outlined in paragraph (b). That list is amended in the following ways: the text of 126.5(b)(12) is amended to reflect textual revisions to Category XIV of the U.S. Munitions List regarding chemical and biological agents. The body of chemical agents encompassed by 126.5(b)(12) and previously controlled in a single paragraph of the Category now has been grouped by type and distributed into several distinct paragraphs. The text also clarifies but does not change the scope of biological agents controlled. Other changes are made to reflect the redesignation of paragraphs in the Category. The second change is a result of statutory direction. A new section of the ITAR implements Section 1225 of Public Law 108–375 regarding ‘‘Bilateral Exchanges and Trade in Defense Articles and Defense Services Between the United States and the United Kingdom and Australia.’’ This section, to be designated 126.15, calls for the expeditious processing of license applications for the export of defense articles and services to Australia or the United Kingdom, consistent with national security and the requirements of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq. Regulatory Analysis and Notices: This amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is not subject to the procedures required by 5 U.S.C. 553 and 554. It is exempt from review under executive Order 12866, but has been reviewed internally by the Department of State to ensure consistency with the purposes thereof. This rule does not require analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act or the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. This amendment has been found not to be a major rule within the meaning of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. It will not have substantial direct effects on the States, the relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 39919 responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant application of the consultation provisions of Executive Orders 12372 and 13132. This rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35. List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 126 Arms and munitions, Exports. I Accordingly, for the reasons set forth above, Title 22, Chapter I, Subchapter M, Part 126 is amended as follows: PART 126—GENERAL POLICIES AND PROVISIONS 1. The authority citation for Part 126 continues to read as follows: I Authority: Secs. 2, 38, 40, 42, and 71, Pub. L. 90–629, 90 Stat. 744 (22 U.S.C. 2752, 2778, 2780, 2791, and 2797); E.O. 11958, 42 FR 4311; 3 CFR, 1977 Comp. p. 79; 22 U.S.C. 2651a; 22 U.S.C. 287c; E.O. 12918, 59 FR 28205, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 899; Sec. 1225, Pub.

Section 126.15 is added to read as follows: § 126.15 Expedited processing of license applications for the export of defense articles and defense services to Australia or the United Kingdom. (a) Any application submitted for authorization of the export of defense articles or services to Australia or the United Kingdom will be expeditiously processed by the Department of State, in consultation with the Department of Defense. Such license applications will not be referred to any other Federal department or agency, except when the defense articles or defense services are classified or exceptional circumstances apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, NY 
10017, filed NADA 141-244 for DRAXXIN (tulathromycin) Injectable 
Solution. The NADA provides for the veterinary prescription use of

Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni 
(Haemophilus somnus); for the control of respiratory disease in cattle 
at high risk of developing BRD associated with M. haemolytica, P. 
multocida, and H. somni; and in swine, by intramuscular injection, for 
the treatment of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with 
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, P. multocida, Bordetella 
bronchiseptica, and H. parasuis. The application is approved as of May 
24, 2005, and the regulations are amended in part 522 (21 CFR part 522) 
by adding Sec.  522.2630 and in part 556 (21 CFR part 556) by adding 
Sec.  556.745 to reflect the approval. The basis of approval is 
discussed in the freedom of information (FOI) summary.
    In accordance with the FOI provisions of 21 CFR part 20 and 21 CFR 
514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and effectiveness data and

Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(i)), this approval qualifies for 
5 years of marketing exclusivity beginning May 24, 2005.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(d)(5) that these 
actions are of a type that do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an 
environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is 
required.

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.
