drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental abbreviated new
animal drug application (ANADA) filed by IVX Animal Health, Inc. The
supplemental ANADA adds claims for persistent effectiveness against
various species of external and internal parasites when cattle are
treated with a 1-percent ivermectin solution by subcutaneous injection.
DATES: This rule is effective March 2, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John K. Harshman, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IVX Animal Health, Inc., 3915 South 48th
Street Ter., St. Joseph, MO 64503, filed a supplement to ANADA 200-228
that provides for use of PHOENECTIN (ivermectin) Injection 1% for the
treatment and control of parasites in cattle. The supplemental ANADA
adds claims for persistent effectiveness against various species of
external and internal parasites of cattle. The supplemental ANADA is
approved as of January 23, 2009, and the regulations are amended in 21
CFR 522.1192 to reflect the approval.
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.
