    At this time, the regulations are being amended to reflect these 
changes of sponsorship.
    In addition, Paladin Labs (USA), Inc., 160 Greentree Dr., Suite 
101, Dover, DE 19904 has requested that FDA withdraw approval of NADA 
141-075 for ANTIZOL-VET (fomepizole) Injection. Elsewhere in this issue 
of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADA 141-075, 
and all supplements and amendments thereto, is withdrawn, effective 
April 20, 2015. As provided in the regulatory text of this document, 
the animal drug regulations are being amended to reflect this voluntary 
withdrawal of approval.
    Following these changes of sponsorship and withdrawal of approval, 
Hemoglobin Oxygen Therapeutics, LLC is now the sponsor of an approved 
application while OPK Biotech, LLC and Paladin Labs (USA), Inc., are no 
longer the sponsor of an approved application. Also, Merial Ltd., 3239 
Satellite Blvd., Bldg. 500, Duluth, GA 30096-4640, has informed FDA 
that it has changed its name to Merial, Inc., and Intervet, Inc., 556 
Morris Ave., Summit, NJ 07901, has informed FDA that it has changed its 
address to 2 Giralda Farms, Madison, NJ 07940. Accordingly, Sec.  
510.600 (21 CFR 510.600) is being amended to reflect these changes.
    In addition, FDA is amending the tables in Sec.  510.600(c) to 
remove listings for International Nutrition, Inc.; NutriBasics Co.; 
Seeco Inc.; Southern Micro-Blenders, Inc.; and Wellmark International 
because these firms are no longer the sponsor of an approved 
application. These technical amendments are being made to improve the 
accuracy of the regulations.
    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

21 CFR Part 510

    Administrative practice and procedure, Animal drugs, Labeling, 
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

21 CFR Parts 520, 522, 524, and 529
