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 Ivy Laboratories, Division of Ivy Animal 
Health, Inc. The ANADA provides for subcutaneous use of an implant 
containing trenbolone acetate and estradiol for increased rate of 
weight gain and improved feed efficiency in feedlot heifers.

DATES: This rule is effective December 24, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harlan J. Howard, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-126), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0231, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ivy Laboratories, Division of Ivy Animal 
Health, Inc., 8857 Bond St., Overland Park, KS 66214, filed ANADA 200-
346 for COMPONENT TE-H (140 milligrams (mg) trenbolone acetate and 14 
mg estradiol, in seven pellets, each pellet containing 20 mg of 
trenbolone acetate and 2 mg of estradiol) for increased rate of weight 
gain and improved feed efficiency in heifers fed in confinement for 
slaughter. Ivy Laboratories' COMPONENT TE-H is approved as a generic 
copy of Intervet's REVALOR-H, approved under NADA 140-992. The 
application is approved as of September 27, 2002, and the regulations 
are amended in 21 CFR 522.2477 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 Sec.  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.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 522

amended as follows:
