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

application (NADA) filed by Fort Dodge Animal Health. The supplemental 
NADA provides for use of an injectable moxidectin solution in cattle 
for the treatment and control of an additional three species of 
internal parasites and an additional three life stages of previously-
approved internal parasites.

DATES: This rule is effective February 13, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joan C. Gotthardt, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-130), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division of Wyeth, 
800 Fifth St. NW., Fort Dodge, IA 50501, filed a supplement to NADA 
141-220 that provides for use of CYDECTIN (moxidectin) Injectable 
Solution for Beef and Nonlactating Dairy Cattle for the treatment and 
control of an additional three species of internal parasites and an 
additional three life stages of previously-approved internal parasites. 
The NADA is approved as of January 10, 2006, and the regulations are 
amended in 21 CFR 522.1450 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.
    Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(iii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(iii)), this supplemental approval 
qualifies for 3

years of marketing exclusivity beginning January 10, 2006.
    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.
