FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric S. Dubbin, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-126), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0232, e-mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c0a5a4b5a2a2a9ae80a3b6adeea6a4a1eea7afb6"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6d0809180f0f04032d0e1b00430b090c430a021b">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intervet, Inc., 29160 Intervet Lane, P.O. 
Box 318, Millsboro, DE 19966, filed a supplement to NADA 138-612 for 
FINAPLIX-H (trenbolone acetate). Ivy Laboratories, Division of Ivy 
Animal Health, Inc., 8857 Bond St., Overland Park, KS 66214, filed a 
supplement to ANADA 200-224 for COMPONENT T-H and COMPONENT T-S 
(trenbolone acetate), COMPONENT T-H with TYLAN and COMPONENT T-S with 
TYLAN (trenbolone acetate with tylosin tartrate). The supplemental NADA 
and ANADA provide for the addition of statements to labeling warning 
against the use of these products in calves to be processed for veal. 
The supplemental applications are approved as of October 22, 2004, and 
the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.2476 to reflect the approval 
and a current format. 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), summaries of safety and 
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of 
these applications

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(a)(1) that these 
actions are of a type that do 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.
