ACTION: 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 Intervet Inc. The NADA provides for use of approved, single-ingredient Type A medicated articles containing zilpaterol hydrochloride, monensin USP, tylosin phosphate, and melengestrol acetate in four-way combination Type B and Type C medicated feeds for heifers fed in confinement for slaughter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intervet Inc., P.O. Box 318, 29160 Intervet Lane, Millsboro, DE 19966, filed NADA 141– 280 that provides for use of ZILMAX (zilpaterol hydrochloride), and RUMENSIN (monensin USP), TYLAN (tylosin phosphate), and MGA (melengestrol acetate) Type A medicated articles to make dry and liquid four-way combination Type B and Type C medicated feeds used for increased rate of weight gain, improved feed efficiency, and increased carcass leanness; for prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii; and for reduction of incidence of liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes; and suppression of estrus (heat) in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter during the last 20 to 40 days on feed. The NADA is approved as of February 29, 2008, and the regulations in 21 CFR 558.342 and 558.665 are amended to reflect the approval. In addition, FDA has noticed that the codified indications for use of tylosin in combination with melengestrol and lasalocid are not consistent with the conditions of use approved for an PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 abbreviated new animal drug application (71 FR 39204, July 12, 2006). At this time, the indications for use are revised to include the associated pathogens. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations. 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 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. The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(2) 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: The U.S. Army Rock Island Arsenal requested a temporary deviation for the Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge, Mile 482.9, at Rock Island, Illinois, across the Upper Mississippi to remain in the closed-to-navigation position as the drawbridge is part of the Annual Quad VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:20 Apr 07, 2008 Jkt 214001 City Marathon route. The Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge currently operates in accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which states the general requirement that drawbridges shall open promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when a request to open is given in accordance with the subpart. In order to facilitate the annual event, the drawbridge must be kept in the closedto-navigation position. This deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position for four hours from 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., September 28, 2008. There are no alternate routes for vessels transiting this section of the Upper Mississippi River. The Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge, in the closed-tonavigation position, provides a vertical clearance of 23.8 feet above normal pool. Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial tows and recreational watercraft. This temporary deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. No objections were received. In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated time period.

New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feed; Zilpaterol; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

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 Intervet Inc. The NADA provides for use of approved, 
single-ingredient Type A medicated articles containing zilpaterol 
hydrochloride, monensin USP, tylosin phosphate, and melengestrol 
acetate in four-way combination Type B and Type C medicated feeds for 
heifers fed in confinement for slaughter.

DATES: This rule is effective April 8, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intervet Inc., P.O. Box 318, 29160 Intervet 
Lane, Millsboro, DE 19966, filed NADA 141-280 that provides for use of 
ZILMAX (zilpaterol hydrochloride), and RUMENSIN (monensin USP), TYLAN 
(tylosin phosphate), and MGA (melengestrol acetate) Type A medicated 
articles to make dry and liquid four-way combination Type B and Type C 
medicated feeds used for increased rate of weight gain, improved feed 
efficiency, and increased carcass leanness; for prevention and control 
of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii; and for reduction 
of incidence of liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and 
Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes; and suppression of estrus 
(heat) in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter during the last 20 
to 40 days on feed. The NADA is approved as of February 29, 2008, and 
the regulations in 21 CFR 558.342 and 558.665 are amended to reflect 
the approval.
    In addition, FDA has noticed that the codified indications for use 
of tylosin in combination with melengestrol and lasalocid are not 
consistent with the conditions of use approved for an abbreviated new 
animal drug application (71 FR 39204, July 12, 2006). At this time, the 
indications for use are revised to include the associated pathogens. 
This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
    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 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.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(2) 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.
