SUMMARY: 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

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.
List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 522

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and
