SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dechra, Ltd., Dechra House, Jamage 
Industrial Estate, Talke Pits, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST7 1XW, 
United Kingdom, filed a supplement to NADA 141-291 that provides for 
use of VETORYL (trilostane) Capsules in dogs for treatment of 
pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and for treatment of 
hyperadrenocorticism due to adrenocortical tumors. The supplement 
provides for the use of a 10-milligram capsule size. The supplemental 
NADA is approved as of June 5, 2009, and the regulations are amended in 
21 CFR 520.2598 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.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 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.
