animal drug application (ANADA) filed by Ivy Laboratories, Division of 
Ivy Animal Health, Inc. The supplemental ANADA provides for an 
additional dose of trenbolone acetate and estradiol implant for use in

Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7519

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ivy Laboratories, Division of Ivy Animal 
Health, Inc., 8857 Bond Street, Overland Park, KS 66214, filed a 
supplement to ANADA 200-346. The supplemental ANADA provides for the 
use of COMPONENT TE-200 (trenbolone acetate and estradiol), a 
subcutaneous implant containing 200 milligrams (mg) trenbolone acetate 
and 20 mg estradiol in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter for 
increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency. Ivy 
Laboratories' COMPONENT TE-200 is approved as a generic copy of 
Intervet, Inc.'s REVALOR-200, approved under NADA 140-992. The 
application is approved as of January 14, 2005, 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.
