DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

21 CFR Part 522


Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; 
Phenylbutazone Injection

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 Phoenix Scientific, Inc. The ANADA 
provides for the use of a generic phenylbutazone injection in horses as 
an anti-inflammatory agent.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 16, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra K. Woods, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-114), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1617.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Phoenix Scientific, Inc., 3915 South 48th 
Street Ter., P.O. Box 6457, St. Joseph, MO 64506-0457, is the sponsor 
of ANADA 200-126 which provides for the use of generic Phenylbutazone 
20% Injection (200 milligrams (mg) of phenylbutazone per milliliter 
(mL) of solution) for the relief of inflammatory conditions associated 
with the musculoskeletal system in horses.
    Approval of ANADA 200-126 for Phoenix Scientific's Phenylbutazone 
20% Injection is as a generic copy of Coopers Animal Health's 
Butazolidin (200 mg of phenylbutazone per mL) which is 
covered by NADA 011-575. The ANADA is approved as of September 1, 1995, 
and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.1720 to reflect the 
approval. The basis for approval is discussed in the freedom of 
information summary.
     In addition, the regulation contains an outdated footnote and 
superscript references citing the National Academy of Science/National 
Research Council (NAS/NRC) status of these products. The Generic Animal 
Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1988 changed that status. The 
NAS/NRC footnote references are removed at this time.
    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 determined under 21 CFR 25.24(d)(1)(i) 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.
