EFFECTIVE DATE: May 20, 1994. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles J. Andres, Center For Veterinary Medicine (HFV-128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1602. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Co., P.O. Box 2500, Somerville, NJ 08876-1258, filed the following ANADA's: ANADA 200-089, salinomycin with bacitracin zinc, which provides for using approved single ingredient Type A medicated articles to make Type C medicated broiler feeds containing 40 to 60 grams per ton (g/t) salinomycin sodium activity and 10 to 50 g/t bacitracin zinc for prevention of coccidiosis and for increased rate of weight gain. The ANADA is approved as a generic copy of American Cyanamid's new animal drug application (NADA) 139-235. ANADA 200-093, salinomycin with lincomycin, which provides for using approved single ingredient Type A medicated articles to make Type C medicated broiler feeds containing 40 to 60 g/t salinomycin sodium activity with 2 to 4 g/t lincomycin, for prevention of coccidiosis and for improved feed efficiency. The ANADA is approved as a generic copy of Agri-Bio Corp.'s NADA 137-537. ANADA 200-097, salinomycin with roxarsone, which provides for using approved single ingredient Type A medicated articles to make Type C medicated broiler feeds containing 40 to 60 g/t salinomycin sodium activity with 22.7 to 45.4 g/t roxarsone for prevention of coccidiosis and for improved feed efficiency. The ANADA is approved as a generic copy of Agri-Bio Corp.'s NADA 132-447. ANADA's 200-089 and 200-093 are approved as of April 6, 1994. ANADA 200-097 is approved as of May 20, 1994. The regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.550 to reflect the approvals. These approvals are for use of Type A medicated articles to make Type C medicated feeds. Salinomycin, bacitracin zinc, and lincomycin are Category I drugs which, as provided in Sec. 558.4 (21 CFR 558.4), do not require an approved Form FDA 1900. However, roxarsone is a Category II drug which, as provided in Sec. 558.4, requires an approved Form FDA 1900 for making a Type C medicated feed. Use of salinomycin and roxarsone to make Type C medicated feeds as in ANADA 200-097 requires an approved Form FDA 1900. 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 these applications 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 determined under 21 CFR 25.24(d)(1)(ii) that these actions are of a type that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 558 Animal drugs, Animal feeds.
