ACTION: Final rule. 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 Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli Lilly & Co. The supplemental NADA provides for use of tilmicosin Type C medicated feeds by veterinary feed directive for the control of bovine respiratory disease in groups of beef and nonlactating dairy cattle.

SUMMARY: Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, filed a supplement to NADA 141–064 for PULMOTIL 90 (tilmicosin phosphate) Type A medicated article.

The supplemental NADA is approved as of August 19, 2011, and 21 CFR 558.4 and 558.618 are amended to reflect the approval. 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. Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(iii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(iii)), this supplemental approval qualifies for 3 years of marketing exclusivity beginning on the date of approval. The Agency has carefully considered the potential environmental impact of this action and has concluded that the action will not have a significant impact on the human environment and that an environmental impact statement is not required. FDA’s finding of no significant impact and the evidence supporting that finding, contained in an environmental assessment, may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management (address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. 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.

Reg. § 1.881–3 relating to conduit financing arrangements pursuant to the authority granted by section 7701(l) of the Internal Revenue Code (the conduit financing regulations). See TD 8611 (1995–37 IRB 20; 60 FR 40997). On December 22, 2008, the Treasury Department and the IRS published in the Federal Register (73 FR 246) a notice of proposed rulemaking (REG– 113462–08) that proposed amending § 1.881–3(a)(2)(i)(C) of the conduit financing regulations to treat an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. tax purposes as a person for purposes of determining whether a conduit financing arrangement exists. The proposed regulations were proposed to be effective as of the date final regulations are published in the Federal Register. In addition, the preamble to the proposed regulations requested comments on whether ‘‘hybrid instruments’’ (instruments treated as debt for foreign law purposes and equity for U.S. PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 76895 Sponsor 000986 000986 purposes) should constitute per se ‘‘financing transactions’’ under § 1.881– 3(a)(2)(ii)(A) and part of a ‘‘financing arrangement’’ within the meaning of § 1.881–3(a)(2)(i)(A), or whether, at a minimum, certain hybrid instruments should be so treated, depending on specific factors or criteria. Only one comment letter responding to the notice of proposed rulemaking was received. No public hearing was requested or held. After consideration of the comment, this Treasury decision adopts the proposed regulations with minor edits to Example 3 and to clarify that the effective date of the final regulations also applies to new Example 3. Explanation and Summary of Comment The comment supported the proposed regulations and their interpretation of the term ‘‘person’’ to include a business entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its single member owner under § 301.7701–1 through § 301.7701– 3. The comment stated that to disregard an entity that is ‘‘regarded’’ for purposes of claiming treaty benefits would be inconsistent with the policy and purpose of the anti-conduit financing regulations. As relates to hybrid instruments, the comment did not support either approach raised in the preamble to the proposed regulations, expressing both policy and administrative concerns with E:\FR\FM\09DER1.SGM 09DER1

drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug 
application (NADA) filed by Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli 
Lilly & Co. The supplemental NADA provides for use of tilmicosin Type C 
medicated feeds by veterinary feed directive for the control of bovine 
respiratory disease in groups of beef and nonlactating dairy cattle.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli 
Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, filed a 
supplement to NADA 141-064 for PULMOTIL 90 (tilmicosin phosphate) Type 
A medicated article. The supplemental NADA provides for the use of 
tilmicosin Type C medicated feeds by veterinary feed directive for the 
control of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with Mannheimia 
haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni in groups of 
beef and nonlactating dairy cattle where active BRD has been diagnosed 
in at least 10 percent of the animals in the group. The supplemental 
NADA is approved as of August 19, 2011, and 21 CFR 558.4 and 558.618 
are amended to reflect the approval.
    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.
    Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(iii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(iii)), this supplemental approval 
qualifies for 3 years of marketing exclusivity beginning on the date of 
approval.
    The Agency has carefully considered the potential environmental 
impact of this action and has concluded that the action will not have a 
significant impact on the human environment and that an environmental 
impact statement is not required. FDA's finding of no significant 
impact and the evidence supporting that finding, contained in an 
environmental assessment, may be seen in the Division of Dockets 
Management (address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 
Friday.
    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.
