SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., 340 Kingsland Rd.,
Nutley, NJ 07110-1199, is the sponsor of NADA 96-298, which currently
provides for the use of a Type A medicated article containing 20
percent (90.7 grams (g) per pound) of lasalocid sodium activity in
making a 68- to 113-g per ton (g/t) Type C medicated feed for broiler
or fryer chickens and growing turkeys, and a 113-g/t Type C medicated
feed for chukar partridges, for prevention of coccidiosis. The firm has
filed a supplemental NADA that expands the use of the Type A medicated
article for use in making a 113-g/t Type C medicated feed for rabbits
for the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria stiedae. Approval
is based in part on data and information in Public Master File (PMF)
5042 established under the National Research Support Project (NRSP) 7
(formerly the Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4)), Southern
Region, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32610.
The supplemental NADA is approved as of October 20, 1995, and the
regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.311 to reflect the approval. The
basis for approval is discussed in the freedom of information summary.
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.
Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(iii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(iii)), this approval does not
qualify for marketing exclusivity because no new clinical or field
investigations (other than bioequivalence or residue studies) and no
new human food safety studies (other than bioequivalence or residue
studies) essential to approval of the supplement were conducted or
sponsored by the applicant.
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.
