SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal

Wyeth. The ANADA provides for use of three different strength

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division of Wyeth, 
500 Fifth St. NW., Fort Dodge, IA 50501, filed ANADA 200-367 for the 
use of three different strength trenbolone acetate and estradiol 
implants in cattle. SYNOVEX T120 and SYNOVEX T80 are for use in steers 
fed in confinement for slaughter for increased rate of weight gain and 
improved feed efficiency. SYNOVEX T40 is for use in pasture cattle 
(slaughter, stocker, and feeder steers and heifers) for increased rate 
of weight gain. Fort Dodge Animal Health's SYNOVEX T120, SYNOVEX T80, 
and SYNOVEX T40 are approved as generic copies of Intervet, Inc.'s 
REVALOR-S, REVALOR-IS, and REVALOR-G, approved under NADA 140-897. The 
application is approved as of November 18, 2003, 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 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.
