Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 116 / Monday, June 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., a Div. of Pfizer, Inc. The supplemental NADA provides for the use of lincomycin in feed of swine weighing greater than 250 pounds and for the addition of a reproductive cautionary statement to labeling. DATES: 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.hhs.gov. Pharmacia & Upjohn Co., a Div. of Pfizer, Inc., 235 E. 42d St., New York, NY 10017, filed a supplement to NADA 97–505 that provides for use of LINCOMIX 20 (lincomycin hydrochloride) and LINCOMIX 50 Feed Medications in single-ingredient Type B and Type C medicated feeds for swine weighing greater than 250 pounds and for the addition of a reproductive caution statement to labeling. The supplemental application is approved as of May 23, 2007, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.325 to reflect the approval. Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of additional safety or effectiveness data or information. Therefore, a freedom of information summary is not required. 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. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 558 Animal drugs, Animal feeds. Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 558 is amended as follows: I 2. In § 558.325, add paragraph (c) and in the table in paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through (d)(2)(iv), in the ‘‘Limitations’’ column, remove ‘‘Not to be fed to swine that weigh more than 250 lb.’’ wherever it occurs to read as follows: I Lincomycin. 17:03 Jun 15, 2007 Jkt 211001 * * * * (c) Special considerations—(1) Labeling of Type A medicated articles and Type B and Type C medicated feeds containing lincomycin shall bear the following directions: ‘‘CAUTION: Do not allow rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, horses, or ruminants access to feeds containing lincomycin. Ingestion by these species may result in severe gastrointestinal effects.’’ (2) Labeling of Type A medicated articles and Type B and Type C medicated feeds containing lincomycin intended for use in swine shall bear the following directions: ‘‘CAUTION: Occasionally, swine fed lincomycin may within the first 2 days after the onset of treatment develop diarrhea and/or swelling of the anus. On rare occasions, some pigs may show reddening of the skin and irritable behavior. These conditions have been self-correcting within 5 to 8 days without discontinuing the lincomycin treatment.’’ (3) Labeling of Type A medicated articles and single-ingredient Type B and Type C medicated feeds containing lincomycin intended for use in swine shall bear the following directions: (i) No. 000009: ‘‘CAUTION: The effects of lincomycin on swine reproductive performance, pregnancy, and lactation have not been determined. Not for use in swine intended for breeding when lincomycin is fed at 20 grams per ton of complete feed.’’ (ii) Nos. 043733 and 051311: ‘‘CAUTION: Not to be fed to swine that weigh more than 250 lb.’’ * * * * * Dated: June 8, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background This document contains final amendments to the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR Part 1) under section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). On July 22, 2004, temporary and proposed regulations under section 408 were issued. A notice of proposed rulemaking (REG–101447– 04) was published in the Federal Register (69 FR 43786). The text of the temporary regulations also served as the text of the proposed regulations. The text of temporary § 1.408–2(e)(8) was published in the same issue of the Federal Register (69 FR 43735). The RIN published in connection with that notice of proposed rulemaking was 1545–BD07. However, due to technical difficulties that RIN is no longer valid and the RIN number of these final regulations is 1545–BG46. No comments were received regarding the proposed regulations.

It also has been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations, and, because the regulation does not impose a collection of information on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This document contains final amendments to the Income Tax 
Regulations (26 CFR Part 1) under section 408 of the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986 (Code). On July 22, 2004, temporary and proposed 
regulations under section 408 were issued. A notice of proposed 
rulemaking (REG-101447-04) was published in the Federal Register (69 FR 
43786). The text of the temporary regulations also served as the text 
of the proposed regulations. The text of temporary Sec.  1.408-2(e)(8) 
was published in the same issue of the Federal Register (69 FR 43735). 
The RIN published in connection with that notice of proposed rulemaking 
was 1545-BD07. However, due to technical difficulties that RIN is no 
longer valid and the RIN number of these final regulations is 1545-
BG46. No comments were received regarding the proposed regulations.

Explanation of Provisions and Summary of Comments

    These final regulations amend Sec.  1.408-2(e) of the regulations 
to provide that a governmental unit may serve as the trustee of any 
deemed IRA established by that governmental unit as part of its 
qualified employer plan if that governmental unit establishes to the

[[Page 33388]]

satisfaction of the Commissioner that the manner in which it will 
administer the deemed IRA will be consistent with the requirements of 
section 408. These final regulations also provide special rules 
regarding the application of Sec.  1.408-2(e) to governmental units. 
These final regulations are adopted without substantive change from the 
proposed and temporary regulations. These final regulations are 
applicable for written applications made on or after June 18, 2007. The 
rules in this section also may be relied on for applications submitted 
on or after August 1, 2003 (or such earlier application as the 
Commissioner deems appropriate) and before June 18, 2007.

Special Analyses

    It has been determined that this Treasury Decision is not a 
significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. 
Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been 
determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 
U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations, and, because the 
regulation does not impose a collection of information on small 
entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not 
apply. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, the notice of proposed 
rulemaking preceding these final regulations was submitted to the Chief 
Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment 
on its impact on small business.

Drafting Information

    The principal author of these regulations is Linda L. Conway of the 
Office of the Division Counsel/Associate Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and 
Government Entities). However, other personnel from the IRS and 
Treasury Department participated in the development of these 
regulations.

deemed IRA that is part of its qualified employer plan must demonstrate 
to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that it is able to administer

requirements will be met with respect to any individual retirement 
accounts maintained by that governmental unit pursuant to section 
408(q). For example, a governmental unit need not demonstrate that it 
satisfies the net worth requirements of paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of this 
section if it demonstrates instead that it possesses taxing authority 
under applicable law. The Commissioner, in his discretion, may exempt a 
governmental unit from certain other requirements upon a showing that 
the governmental unit is able to administer the deemed IRAs in the best 
interest of the participants. Moreover, in determining whether a 
governmental unit satisfies the other requirements of paragraphs (e)(2)

requirements in a manner that is consistent with the applicant's status 
as a governmental unit.
