[[Page 40766]]

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of an abbreviated new animal drug application (ANADA) filed by Parnell Laboratories (Aust) Pty. Ltd. The ANADA provides for the veterinary prescription use of cloprostenol sodium injectable solution in cattle for manipulation of the estrous cycle.

DATES: This rule is effective July 7, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lonnie W. Luther, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-8549, e-mail: lluther@cvm.fda.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Parnell Laboratories (Aust) Pty. Ltd., Century Estate, unit 6, 476 Gardeners Rd., Alexandria, New South Wales 2015, Australia, filed ANADA 200-310 for the use of ESTROPLAN (cloprostenol sodium) Injection by veterinary prescription for manipulation of the estrous cycle of cattle. Parnell Laboratories (Aust) Pty. Ltd.'s ESTROPLAN Injection is approved as a generic copy of Schering-Plough Animal Health Corp.'s ESTRUMATE, approved under NADA 113-645. The ANADA is approved as of May 13, 2004, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.460 to reflect the approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of information summary.

In addition, Parnell Laboratories (Aust) Pty. Ltd., is not currently listed in the animal drug regulations as a sponsor of an approved application. At this time, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to add entries for the firm.

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.
