[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 238 (Wednesday, December 13, 2017)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 58554-58557] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-26753] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration 21 CFR Parts 510, 520, 522, 524, 529, and 558 [Docket No. FDA-2017-N-0002] New Animal Drugs; Approval of New Animal Drug Applications AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

II. Technical Amendments We are making several technical amendments in 21 CFR part 558, which was amended on December 27, 2016 (81 FR 94991), and February 24, 2017 (82 FR 11510), as part of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine's (CVM's) Judicious Use Initiative. We are also making several technical amendments to the regulations for dosage form drugs to reflect revised labeling. These actions are being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations. III. Legal Authority This final rule is issued under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)), which requires Federal Register publication of ``notice[s] . . . effective as a regulation,'' of the conditions of use of approved new animal drugs. This rule sets forth technical amendments to the regulations to codify recent actions on approved new animal drug applications and corrections to improve the accuracy of the regulations, and as such does not impose any burden on regulated entities. Although denominated a rule pursuant to the FD&C Act, this document 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. Likewise, this is not a rule subject to Executive Order 12866, which defines a rule as ``an agency statement of general applicability and future effect, which the agency intends to have the force and effect of law, that is designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or to describe the procedure or practice requirements of an agency.'' 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 Animal drugs. 21 CFR Part 558 Animal drugs, Animal feeds. Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR parts 510, 520, 522, 524, 529, and 558 are amended as follows: PART 510--NEW ANIMAL DRUGS 0 1.

For control of external protozoa Ichthyophthirius spp., Chilodonella spp., Ichthyobodo spp., Ambiphrya spp., Epistylis spp., and Trichodina spp., and the monogeneans Cleidodiscus spp., Gyrodactylus spp., and Dactylogyrus spp. * * * * * (2) * * * (i) * * * \1\ Treat for up to 4 hours daily. Treatment may be repeated daily until parasite control is achieved. Use the lower concentration when tanks or raceways are heavily loaded with phytoplankton or shrimp, to avoid oxygen depletion due to the biological oxygen demand created by decay of dead phytoplankton. Alternatively, a higher concentration might be used if dissolved oxygen is strictly monitored. * * * * * (iii) For control of fungi of the family Saprolegniaceae on finfish eggs: Eggs of all finfish except Acipenseriformes, 1,000 to 2,000 [mu]L/L (ppm) for 15 minutes; eggs of Acipenseriformes, up to 1,500 [mu]L/L (ppm) for 15 minutes. A preliminary bioassay should be conducted on a small subsample of fish eggs to determine sensitivity before treating an entire group. This is necessary for all species because egg sensitivity can vary with species or strain and the unique conditions at each facility. (3) Limitations. Fish tanks and raceways may be treated daily until parasite control is achieved. Pond treatment may be repeated in 5 to 10 days if needed. However, pond treatments for Ichthyophthirius spp. should be made at 2-day intervals until control is achieved. Egg tanks may be [[Page 58557]] treated as often as necessary to prevent growth of fungi. Do not use formalin which has been subjected to temperatures below 40 [deg]F, or allowed to freeze. Treatments in tanks and raceways should never exceed 1 hour for fish or 4 hours for penaeid shrimp (even if they show no sign of distress), nor should it exceed 15 minutes for fish eggs. Do not apply formalin to ponds with water warmer than 27 [deg]C (80 [deg]F), when a heavy bloom of phytoplankton is present, or when the concentration of dissolved oxygen is less than 5 milligrams per liter. PART 558--NEW ANIMAL DRUGS FOR USE IN ANIMAL FEEDS 0 13. The authority citation for part 558 continues to read as follows: Authority: 21 U.S.C. 354, 360b, 360ccc, 360ccc-1, 371. Sec. 558.58 [Amended] 0 14. In Sec. 558.58, remove paragraphs (f)(4) and (5). Sec. 558.366 [Amended] 0 15. In Sec. 558.366, remove paragraph (e). Dated: December 5, 2017.
