Animal Drug Availability Act; Medicated Feed Mill Licenses

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is publishing a final rule amending the new animal drug regulations to implement the medicated feed mill licensing requirements of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996 (ADAA). The ADAA amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to require that each facility that manufactures feeds containing approved new animal drugs possess a medicated feed mill license for the facility, rather than a separate medicated feed application (MFA) for each medicated feed manufactured by the facility, as previously required by the act. The final rule implements the feed mill licensing provisions of the ADAA.
