FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John K. Harshman, Center for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cross Vetpharm Group Ltd., Broomhill Rd., 
Tallaght, Dublin 24, Ireland, filed ANADA 200-460 that provides for use 
of TETROXY Aquatic (oxytetracycline hydrochloride) Soluble Powder for 
skeletal marking of finfish fry and fingerlings by immersion. The 
application is approved as of April 20, 2007, and the regulations are 
amended in 21 CFR 529.1660 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.
