SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Phoenix Scientific, Inc., 3915 South 48th Street Ter., St. Joseph, MO 64503, filed NADA 141 245 that provides for veterinary prescription use of TRIBUTAME Euthanasia Solution (embutramide; chloroquine phosphate, U.S.P.; and lidocaine, USP) by intravenous injection for euthanasia of dogs. The NADA is approved as of May 20, 2005, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR part 522 by adding § 522.810 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.
Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(ii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(ii)), this approval qualifies for 3 years of marketing exclusivity beginning May 20, 2005.
FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(d)(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.
List of Subject in 21 CFR Part 522
