SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fermenta Animal Health Co., P.O. Box 338,
15th and Oak Sts., Elwood, KS 66024, filed ANADA 200-029, which
provides for intramuscular use of ketamine hydrochloride injection

Ketaset (ketamine hydrochloride injection equivalent to 100
mg/mL ketamine). The ANADA is approved as of August 16, 1995, and the
regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.1222a(c) to reflect the approval.
The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of information
summary.
In addition, Sec. 522.1222a is amended by removing and reserving
paragraphs (a) and (d).

through Friday.
