SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Phoenix Scientific, Inc., 3915 South 48th 
St. Terrace, St. Joseph, MO 64503, filed ANADA 200-386 for Levamisole 
Hydrochloride Soluble Drench Powder used to make a drench solution for 
oral administration to cattle and sheep which is effective against 
various internal parasites. Phoenix Scientific's Levamisole 
Hydrochloride Soluble Drench Powder is approved as a generic copy of 
Schering-Plough Animal Health Corp.'s, LEVASOL (levamisole 
hydrochloride) Soluble Drench Powder, approved under NADA 112-051. The 
ANADA is approved as of December 17, 2004, and the regulations are 
amended in 21 CFR 520.1242a 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 the congressional review requirements 
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
