AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Halocarbon Laboratories, Division of 
Halocarbon Products Corp. The ANADA provides for use of isoflurane as 
an inhalant for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in 
horses and dogs.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 9, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra K. Woods, Center For Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-114), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1616.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Halocarbon Laboratories, Division of 
Halocarbon Products Corp., 887 Kinderkamack Rd., P.O. Box 661, River 
Ridge, NJ 07661, filed ANADA 200-129 which provides for inhalant use of 
isoflurane for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in 
horses and dogs. The drug is limited to use by or on the order of a 
licensed veterinarian.
    Approval of ANADA 200-129 for Halocarbon Laboratories' isoflurane 
is as a generic copy of Anaquest's NADA 135-773 for AErrane 
(isoflurane). The ANADA is approved as of June 29, 1995, and the 
regulations are amended by revising 21 CFR 529.1186(b) to reflect the 
approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of 
information summary. In addition, Halocarbon Laboratories has not been 
previously listed in 21 CFR 510.600(c) as sponsor of an approved 
application. That section is amended to add entries for the firm.
    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 
Management Branch (address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday 
through Friday.
