SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd., Broomhill Rd., 
Tallaght, Dublin 24, Ireland, filed ANADA 200-377 for LINCOMED 
(lincomycin hydrochloride) Soluble Powder. The application provides for 
oral use of lincomycin soluble powder to make medicated drinking water 
for administration to swine for the treatment of swine dysentery or to 
broiler chickens for the control of necrotic enteritis. Cross Vetpharm 
Group Ltd.'s LINCOMED Soluble Powder is approved as a generic copy of 
Pharmacia & Upjohn Co.'s LINCOMIX Soluble Powder, approved under NADA 
111-636. ANADA 200-377 is approved as of December 6, 2004, and the 
regulations are amended in 21 CFR 520.1263c 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.
