DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
21 CFR Part 522


Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; 
Tripelennamine Hydrochloride 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 use of tripelennamine hydrochloride injection in cattle 
and horses for conditions in which antihistaminic therapy may be 
expected to lead to alleviation of some signs of disease.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 11, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie R. Berson, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-135), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1643.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Phoenix Scientific, Inc., 3915 South 48th 
Street Ter., P.O. Box 6457, St. Joseph, MO 64506-0457, filed ANADA 200-
162 which provides for intravenous and intramuscular use in cattle and 
intramuscular use in horses of tripelennamine hydrochloride injection 
for conditions in which antihistaminic therapy is indicated. The drug 
is limited to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
    Approval of ANADA 200-162 for Phoenix's tripelennamine 
hydrochloride injection is as a generic copy of Solvay's NADA 006-417 
for Re-Covr Injection (tripelennamine hydrochloride). The 
ANADA is approved as of March 28, 1996, and the regulations are amended 
by revising Sec. 522.2615(b) (21 CFR 522.2615(b)) to reflect the 
approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom of 
information summary. In addition, due to enactment of the Generic 
Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1988, Sec. 522.2615(d) 
is outdated and therefore removed.
    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, 12420 
Parklawn Dr., rm. 1-23, 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.
