SUBJECT CATEGORY: New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Monensin and Tylosin
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of two supplemental new animal drug applications (NADA's) filed by Elanco Animal Health. These supplemental NADA's provide for using tylosin or monensin and tylosin singleingredient Type A medicated articles to make tylosin liquid Type B medicated feeds or combination drug liquid Type B medicated feeds. The liquid Type B medicated feeds are used to make dry Type C medicated feeds for cattle.
SUMMARY: Monensin and tylosin,
The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(1) that these actions are of a type that do 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. 801808.
List of Subjects in 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 and redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 558 is amended as follows:
1. The authority citation for 21 CFR part 558 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 21 U.S.C. 360b, 371.
2. Section 558.355 is amended in paragraph (f)(3)(ii)(b) by adding
a new sentence after the second sentence to read as follows: Sec. 558.355 Monensin.

(f) * * *
(3) * * *
(ii) * * *
(b) * * * Combination drug liquid Type B medicated feeds may be
used to manufacture dry Type C medicated feeds and shall conform to mixing instructions as in Sec. 558.625 (c).
3. Section 558.625 is amended by adding paragraph (c) to read as follows:
Sec. 558.625 Tylosin.
* * * * *
(c) Special considerations. (1) Type C medicated feeds for cattle
may be manufactured from tylosin liquid Type B medicated feeds which
have a pH between 4.5 and 6.0 and which bear appropriate mixing directions as follows:
(i) For liquid Type B feeds stored in recirculating tank systems:
Recirculate immediately prior to use for no fewer than 10 minutes,
moving not less than 1 percent of the tank contents per minute from the
bottom of the tank to the top. Recirculate daily as described even when not used.
(ii) For liquid Type B feeds stored in mechanical, air, or other
agitationtype tank systems: Agitate immediately prior to use for no
fewer than 10 minutes, creating a turbulence at the bottom of the tank
that is visible at the top. Agitate daily as described even when not used.
(2) Tylosin liquid Type B medicated feeds used to make Type C
medicated feeds for cattle may be manufactured from tylosin Type A
medicated articles according to the following mixing directions:
(i) Presolubilize tylosin in 50 percent urea for approximately 1
hour prior to adding any feed components or other active ingredients. (ii) Maintain a pH between 4.5 and 6.0.
(3) Tylosin liquid Type B medicated feeds must bear an expiration date of 8 weeks after the date of manufacture.
