provides for using approved single ingredient Type A medicated articles 
to make Type C medicated broiler feeds containing salinomycin with 
roxarsone and bacitracin zinc.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 25, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Glenn A. Peterson, 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 ANADA 200-143 for the use of 
salinomycin with roxarsone and bacitracin zinc. The ANADA 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) of 
salinomycin sodium activity, 34.1 g/t of roxarsone, and 10 to 50 g/t of 
bacitracin zinc, for the prevention of coccidiosis in broiler chickens 
caused by Eimeria tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. 
brunetti, and E. mivati, and for increased rate of weight gain and 
improved feed efficiency.
    ANADA 200-143 is as a generic copy of Agri-Bio's NADA 139-190. 
ANADA 200-143 is approved as of May 25, 1994. The regulations are 
amended in Sec. 558.550 Salinomycin (21 CFR 558.550) to reflect the 
approval.
    This approval is for use of single ingredient Type A medicated 
articles to make Type C medicated feeds. 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. Therefore, the use of 
salinomycin, roxarsone, and bacitracin zinc Type A medicated articles 
to make Type C medicated feeds as provided in ANADA 200-143 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

Monday through Friday.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.24(d)(1)(ii) 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.
