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 Chanelle Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing 
Ltd. The ANADA provides for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous 
use of xylazine injection in dogs and cats to produce sedation 
accompanied by a shorter period of analgesia.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 4, 1996.
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: Chanelle Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Ltd., 
Loughrea, County Galway, Ireland, filed ANADA 200-184, which provides 
for intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous use of 
Chanazine (20 milligrams/milliliter (mg/mL)) Injectable 
(xylazine hydrochloride equivalent to 20 mg xylazine per mL) in dogs 
and cats to produce sedation accompanied by a shorter period of 
analgesia. The drug is limited to use by or on the order of a licensed 
veterinarian.
    Approval of ANADA 200-184 for Chanelle's Chanazine 
(xylazine 20 mg/mL) Injectable is as a generic copy of Bayer's NADA 47-
955 for Rompun (xylazine 20 mg/mL) injectable. The ANADA is 
approved as of July 12, 1996, and the regulations are amended by 
revising 21 CFR 522.2662(b) to reflect the approval. The basis of 
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, 12420 
Parklawn Dr., rm. 1-23, 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.
