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 200-304 for PRITOX, a solution of copper 
naphthenate for topical application on horses and ponies as an aid in 
treating thrush caused by organisms susceptible to copper naphthenate. 
First Priority's PRITOX is approved as a generic copy of Ft. Dodge 
Animal Health's KOPERTOX, approved under NADA 12-991. The ANADA is 
approved as of July 25, 2003, and 21 CFR 524.463 is amended 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.
    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.
