[Docket No. 97N-0138]
Environmental Assessments and Findings of No Significant Impact
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that it
has reviewed environmental assessments (EA's) and issued findings of no
significant impact (FONSI's) relating to the 141 new drug applications
(NDA's), abbreviated new drug applications (ANDA's), and supplemental
applications listed in this document. FDA is publishing this notice
because Federal regulations require public notice of the availability
of environmental documents.
ADDRESSES: The EA's and FONSI's may be seen in the Dockets Management
Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr., rm.
1-23, Rockville, MD 20857, or a copy may be requested by writing the
Freedom of Information Staff (HFI-35), Food and Drug Administration,
5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy B. Sager, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (HFD-357), Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-594-5721.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (NEPA), Congress declared that it will be the continuing policy
of the Federal Government to ``use all practicable means and measures,
including financial and technical assistance, in a manner calculated to
foster and promote the general welfare, to create and maintain
conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony,
and fulfill the social, economic and other requirements of present and
future generations of Americans.'' (See 42 U.S.C. 4331(a).) NEPA
requires all Federal agencies to include in every proposal for major
Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment, a detailed statement assessing the environmental impact
of, and alternatives to, the proposed action and to make available to
the public such statements. (See 42 U.S.C. 4332, 40 CFR 1506.6, and 21
CFR 25.41(b).)
FDA implements NEPA through its regulations in part 25 (21 CFR part
25). Under those regulations, actions to approve NDA's, ANDA's, and
supplements to existing approvals ordinarily require the preparation of
an EA. (See Sec. 25.22(a)(8) and (a)(14).)
FDA approved 141 NDA's, ANDA's, and supplemental NDA's for the
products listed in the following table:

As part of its review of each of the NDA's, ANDA's, and supplements
listed in this table, FDA reviewed an EA. In each instance, FDA found
that the approval of the NDA, ANDA, or supplement will not
significantly affect the human environment. In accordance with the
Council on Environmental Quality regulations in 40 CFR 1501.4(e) and
FDA regulations in Sec. 25.32, FDA prepared a FONSI for each NDA, ANDA,
and supplement. This notice announces that the EA's and FONSI's for
these human drug products may be seen in the Dockets Management Branch
(address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. For a
fee, copies of these EA's and FONSI's may be obtained by writing the
Freedom of Information Staff (address above). The request should
identify by the application number the EA's and FONSI's requested.
