    Following the approval of ANADA 200-610, Modern Veterinary 
Therapeutics, LLC, will now be included in the lists of sponsors of 
approved applications in Sec.  510.600(c) (21 CFR 510.600(c)).

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.''

such as repair of lacerations and wounds, castrations, and other

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.
