combination drug Type B and Type C medicated feeds for swine. Pennfield 
Oil Co.'s ANADA 200-356 is approved as a generic copy of Boehringer 
Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc.'s NADA 141-011. The ANADA is approved as of 
April 6, 2004, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.600 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)(2) 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.
