FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Daniel A. Benz, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0223, e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: V[eacute]toquinol NA, Inc., 2000 chemin 
Georges, Lavaltrie (PQ), Canada J5T 3S5, filed a supplement to ANADA 
200-305 that provides for use of Oxytetracycline HCl Soluble Powder to 
prepare medicated drinking water for the treatment of various bacterial 
diseases of livestock. V[eacute]toquinol NA, Inc.'s Oxytetracycline HCl 
Soluble Powder is approved as a generic copy of Alpharma, Inc.'s OXY-
TET (oxytetracycline hydrochloride) Soluble approved under NADA 130-
435. The ANADA is approved as of June 2, 2006, and the regulations are 
amended in 21 CFR 520.1660d 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.
