Download as PDF 79474 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Rules and Regulations DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration 21 CFR Part 558 [Docket No. FDA–2015–N–0002] New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Bacitracin Methylenedisalicylate AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. 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 Pharmgate LLC for the use of a Type A medicated article containing bacitracin methylenedisalicylate to manufacture Type B and Type C medicated feeds for chickens, turkeys, pheasants, quail, and feedlot cattle. This supplemental approval reflects FDA’s effectiveness conclusions that relied on the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Drug Efficacy Study Group’s evaluation of the effectiveness of this drug as well indications for use not subject to this review. DATES: This rule is effective December 22, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Lucia, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV–128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240–402–0589, email: matthew.lucia@fda.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of August 8, 2003 (68 FR 47332), as corrected October 7, 2003 (68 FR 57911), as part of the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) program, the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) announced the effective conditions of use for several drug products and use combinations that were listed in 21 CFR 558.15. CVM proposed to withdraw the NADAs for those products or use combinations lacking substantial evidence of effectiveness following a 90-day opportunity to supplement the NADAs with labeling conforming to the relevant findings of effectiveness. In response to that notice of opportunity for a hearing (NOOH), Pennfield Oil Co. (Pennfield), 14040 rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:05 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 Industrial Rd., Omaha, NE 68144, filed a hearing request for its approved, nonDESI finalized NADA 141–137 for a bacitracin methylenedisalicylate Type A medicated article. In March 2015, Pennfield transferred sponsorship of NADA 141–137 to Pharmgate LLC, 1015 Ashes Dr., Suite 102, Wilmington, NC 28405 (Pharmgate) (80 FR 13226, March 13, 2015). Subsequently, Pharmgate filed a supplement to NADA 141–137 for PENNITRACIN MD 50G (bacitracin Type A medicated article) with labeling conforming to the findings of effectiveness in the 2003 NOOH. In addition, the submitted labeling included indications for use approved by FDA that were not subject to DESI findings of effectiveness (34 FR 7906, May 20, 1969). The supplemental NADA provides for use of a Type A medicated article containing bacitracin methylenedisalicylate to manufacture Type B and Type C medicated feeds for several production and therapeutic indications in broiler and replacement chickens, growing turkeys, growing pheasants, growing quail, and beef steers and heifers fed in confinement for slaughter. The supplemental NADA is approved as of October 6, 2015, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.76 to reflect the approval. Pharmgate, as successor to Pennfield, has since withdrawn the hearing request for NADA 141–137. Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of any new safety or effectiveness data. Therefore, a freedom of information summary was not prepared. The DESI evaluation was concerned only with the effectiveness of the drug products and use combinations. Nothing in this document constitutes a bar to further proceedings with respect to questions of safety of the subject drugs in treated animals or of the drugs or their metabolites in food products derived from treated animals. Products that comply with FDA’s findings of effectiveness are eligible for copying, as described in the ‘‘Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act; Eighth Policy Letter,’’ August 21, 1991 (56 FR 41561). Accordingly, sponsors may now obtain approval of abbreviated NADAs for this Type A medicated article. The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(1) that this action is of a PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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.

(TTY/TDD users may call the Federal relay service toll free at 1–800– 877–8339 and ask to be connected to 202–326–4024.) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PBGC’s regulation on Allocation of Assets in Single-Employer Plans (29 CFR part 4044) prescribes actuarial assumptions—including interest assumptions—for valuing plan benefits under terminating single-employer plans covered by title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The interest assumptions in the regulation are also published on PBGC’s Web site (https://www.pbgc.gov). The interest assumptions in Appendix B to Part 4044 are used to value benefits for allocation purposes under ERISA section 4044. Assumptions under the asset allocation regulation are updated quarterly and are intended to reflect current conditions in the financial and annuity markets. This final rule updates the asset allocation interest assumptions for the first quarter (January through March) of 2016. The first quarter 2016 interest assumptions under the allocation regulation will be 2.82 percent for the first 20 years following the valuation date and 2.95 percent thereafter. In comparison with the interest assumptions in effect for the fourth quarter of 2015, these interest assumptions represent no change in the select period (the period during which the select rate (the initial rate) applies), PO 00000 Sponsor 069254 an increase of 0.36 percent in the select rate, and a decrease of 0.03 percent in the ultimate rate (the final rate). PBGC has determined that notice and public comment on this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This finding is based on the need to determine and issue new interest assumptions promptly so that the assumptions can reflect current market conditions as accurately as possible. Because of the need to provide immediate guidance for the valuation of benefits under plans with valuation dates during the first quarter of 2016, PBGC finds that good cause exists for making the assumptions set forth in this amendment effective less than 30 days after publication. PBGC has determined that this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under the criteria set forth in Executive Order 12866. Because no general notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this amendment, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 does not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2).

New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Bacitracin 
Methylenedisalicylate

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

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 Pharmgate LLC for the use of a Type A 
medicated article containing bacitracin methylenedisalicylate to 
manufacture Type B and Type C medicated feeds for chickens, turkeys, 
pheasants, quail, and feedlot cattle. This supplemental approval 
reflects FDA's effectiveness conclusions that relied on the National 
Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Drug Efficacy Study 
Group's evaluation of the effectiveness of this drug as well 
indications for use not subject to this review.

DATES: This rule is effective December 22, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Lucia, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 240-402-0589, email: matthew.lucia@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of August 8, 2003 
(68 FR 47332), as corrected October 7, 2003 (68 FR 57911), as part of 
the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) program, the Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (CVM) announced the effective conditions of use for 
several drug products and use combinations that were listed in 21 CFR 
558.15. CVM proposed to withdraw the NADAs for those products or use 
combinations lacking substantial evidence of effectiveness following a 
90-day opportunity to supplement the NADAs with labeling conforming to 
the relevant findings of effectiveness.
    In response to that notice of opportunity for a hearing (NOOH), 
Pennfield Oil Co. (Pennfield), 14040 Industrial Rd., Omaha, NE 68144, 
filed a hearing request for its approved, non-DESI finalized NADA 141-
137 for a bacitracin methylenedisalicylate Type A medicated article.
    In March 2015, Pennfield transferred sponsorship of NADA 141-137 to 
Pharmgate LLC, 1015 Ashes Dr., Suite 102, Wilmington, NC 28405 
(Pharmgate) (80 FR 13226, March 13, 2015). Subsequently, Pharmgate 
filed a supplement to NADA 141-137 for PENNITRACIN MD 50G (bacitracin 
Type A medicated article) with labeling conforming to the findings of 
effectiveness in the 2003 NOOH. In addition, the submitted labeling 
included indications for use approved by FDA that were not subject to 
DESI findings of effectiveness (34 FR 7906, May 20, 1969).
    The supplemental NADA provides for use of a Type A medicated 
article containing bacitracin methylenedisalicylate to manufacture Type 
B and Type C medicated feeds for several production and therapeutic 
indications in broiler and replacement chickens, growing turkeys, 
growing pheasants, growing quail, and beef steers and heifers fed in 
confinement for slaughter. The supplemental NADA is approved as of 
October 6, 2015, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.76 to 
reflect the approval. Pharmgate, as successor to Pennfield, has since 
withdrawn the hearing request for NADA 141-137.
    Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of any 
new safety or effectiveness data. Therefore, a freedom of information 
summary was not prepared.
    The DESI evaluation was concerned only with the effectiveness of 
the drug products and use combinations. Nothing in this document 
constitutes a bar to further proceedings with respect to questions of 
safety of the subject drugs in treated animals or of the drugs or their 
metabolites in food products derived from treated animals.
    Products that comply with FDA's findings of effectiveness are 
eligible for copying, as described in the ``Generic Animal Drug and 
Patent Term Restoration Act; Eighth Policy Letter,'' August 21, 1991 
(56 FR 41561). Accordingly, sponsors may now obtain approval of 
abbreviated NADAs for this Type A medicated article.
    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.
