FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

George K. Haibel, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 240-402-5689, george.haibel@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FDA is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect that application 141-308 for conditional approval of KINAVET-CA1 (masitinib mesylate) Tablets, a new animal drug for a minor use sponsored by AB Science, 3 Avenue George V, 75008 Paris, France, is no longer in effect.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice that conditional approval of this drug, by operation of law, was no longer in effect as of December 15, 2015.

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.
