Download as PDF 57906 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 181 / Monday, September 19, 2011 / Rules and Regulations The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of an abbreviated new animal drug application (ANADA) filed by Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd. The ANADA provides for use of an ivermectin injectable solution for treatment and control of various internal and external parasites in cattle, swine, reindeer, and American bison. DATES: This rule is effective September 19, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John K. Harshman, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV–170), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240–276–8197, email: john.harshman@fda.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd., Broomhill Rd., Tallaght, Dublin 24, Ireland, filed ANADA 200–447 for the use of BIMECTIN (ivermectin) Injection for Cattle and Swine for treatment and control of various internal and external parasites in cattle, swine, reindeer, and American bison. Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd.’s BIMECTIN Injection for Cattle and Swine is approved as a generic copy of Merial Ltd.’s IVOMEC (ivermectin) Injection for Cattle and Swine, approved under NADA 128–409. The ANADA is approved as of July 5, 2011, and the regulations in 21 CFR 522.1192 are amended to reflect the approval. 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. FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 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. tkelley on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 522 Animal drugs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)) (21 CFR 514.105(a)) directs FDA to establish tolerances by regulation, as necessary, when a new animal drug is approved for use in food-producing animals. Progesterone is approved for use in subcutaneous implants used for increased rate of weight gain in suckling beef calves and steers (21 CFR 522.1940) and in vaginal inserts used for management of the estrous cycle in female cattle and ewes (21 CFR 529.1940). FDA has noticed the animal drug tolerance regulations do not reflect levels for progesterone using the daily consumption values in the current guidance document, ‘‘Guideline for Establishing a Safe Concentration’’ (59 FR 37499, July 22, 1994). At this time, FDA is amending 21 CFR 556.540 to reflect the revised daily consumption values as applied to edible tissues of cattle. Sheep are considered a minor species for human food safety assessment, and the updated allowable incremental increase limits for cattle tissues based on the revised daily consumption values are applicable to sheep.
