Accordingly, 21 CFR 558.366 and 558.460 are being amended to reflect the withdrawal of approval. R. P. Scherer North America, P.O. Box 5600, Clearwater, FL 33518 has requested that FDA withdraw approval of NADA 123-116 for Diethylcarbamazine Citrate Capsules used in dogs for the prevention of heartworm disease because the product is no longer manufactured or marketed. Accordingly, 21 CFR 520.622d is being amended to reflect the withdrawal of approval. Following this withdrawal of approval, R. P. Scherer North America is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for these firms.
