FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  John K. Harshman, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: First Priority, Inc., 1585 Todd Farm Dr., 
Elgin, IL 60123, filed ANADA 200-398 for the veterinary prescription 
use of Clindamycin Hydrochloride Oral Drops in dogs and cats for the 
treatment of various infections due to susceptible bacterial pathogens. 
First Priority, Inc.'s Clindamycin Hydrochloride Oral Drops is approved 
as a generic copy of ANTIROBE AQUADROPS Liquid, sponsored by Pharmacia 
& Upjohn Co., a Division of Pfizer, Inc., under NADA 135-940. The ANADA 
is approved as of March 19, 2007, and 21 CFR 520.447 is amended to 
reflect the approval.
    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.
