FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lonnie W. Luther, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7519

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: First Priority, Inc., 1585 Todd Farm Dr., 
Elgin, IL 60123, filed ANADA 200-353 for PRIMEX (pyrantel pamoate) 
Equine Anthelmintic Suspension for oral use in horses and ponies for 
the removal and control of various internal parasites. First Priority's 
PRIMEX Equine Anthelmintic Suspension is approved as a generic copy of 
Pfizer, Inc.'s STRONGID T, approved under NADA 91-739. ANADA 200-353 is 
approved as of August 19, 2003, and the regulations are amended in 21 
CFR 520.2043 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 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 Division of Dockets Management 
(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.
    FDA 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 congressional review requirements in 5 
U.S.C. 801-808.
