SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ivy Laboratories, Division of Ivy Animal
Health, Inc., 8857 Bond St., Overland Park, KS 66214, filed a
supplement to ANADA 200-346. The supplemental ANADA provides for the
use of COMPONENT TE-IH (trenbolone acetate and estradiol), a
subcutaneous implant containing 80 milligrams (mg) trenbolone acetate
and 8 mg estradiol in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter for
increased rate of weight gain. Ivy Laboratories' COMPONENT TE-IH is
approved as a generic copy of Intervet, Inc.'s REVALOR-IH, approved
under NADA 140-992. The application is approved as of August 19, 2003,
and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.2477 to reflect the
approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of
information summary.
In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of
this application may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management
(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(1) that this action
is of a type that does 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. 801-808.
