FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Fort Dodge Laboratories, Inc. (Fort Dodge), 
P.O. Box 518, Fort Dodge, IA 50501, filed ANADA 200-088 which provides

(mg/mL)) injectable to produce sedation accompanied by a shorter period 
of analgesia. The drug is limited to use by or on the order of a 
licensed veterinarian.
    ANADA 200-088 for Fort Dodge's SedazineTM (xylazine 100 mg/mL) 
injectable is as a generic copy of Miles' new animal drug application

The ANADA is approved as of February 24, 1994, and the regulations are 
amended in 21 CFR 522.2662 to reflect the approval. The basis for 
approval is discussed in the freedom of information summary.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of part 20 
(21 CFR part 20) and Sec. 514.11(e)(2)(ii) (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 Dockets 
Management Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, rm. 1-23, 
12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., 
Monday through Friday.
    The agency has carefully considered the potential environmental 
effects of this action. FDA has concluded that the action will not have 
a significant impact on the human environment, and that an 
environmental impact statement is not required. The agency's finding of 
no significant impact and the evidence supporting that finding, 
contained in an environmental assessment, may be seen in the Dockets
