-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  John K. Harshman, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-170), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Modern Veterinary Therapeutics, LLC, 1550 
Madruga Ave., suite 329, Coral Gables, FL 33146, filed ANADA 200-446 
for the use of BUTORPHINE (butorphanol tartrate, USP) Veterinary 
Injection in cats for the relief of pain. Modern Veterinary 
Therapeutics' BUTORPHINE Veterinary Injection is approved as a generic 
copy of TORBUGESIC-SA (butorphanol tartrate, USP) Veterinary Injection, 
approved under NADA 141-047 held by Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division 
of Wyeth, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc. The ANADA is 
approved as of March 26, 2010, and the regulations in 21 CFR 522.246 
are 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 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.
