[[Page 47451]]

Injection as a treatment for various bacterial diseases in cattle and 
swine. The supplemental ANADA provides for the subcutaneous 
administration of this oxytetracycline injectable solution to cattle, 
and for its use in lactating dairy cattle. The supplemental application 
is approved as of April 8, 2002, and the regulations are amended in 21 
CFR 522.1660d 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 21 CFR 
part 20 and 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, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852, 
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(1) 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.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.'' 
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements 
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
