The ANADA provides for oral use of pyrantel pamoate suspension for 
removal of large roundworms and hookworms in puppies and dogs and to 
prevent reinfections of Toxocara canis in puppies and adult dogs and in 
lactating bitches after whelping.

(Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala) in puppies and dogs 
and to prevent reinfections of T. canis in puppies and adult dogs and 
in lactating bitches after whelping. The product contains pyrantel 
pamoate equivalent to 2.27 milligrams of pyrantel base.
    Approval of ANADA 200-028 for Lambert-Kay's pyrantel pamoate 
suspension is as a generic copy of Pfizer's NADA 100-237 Nemex<SUP>TM 
(pyrantel pamoate). The ANADA is approved as of March 28, 1996, and the 
regulations in 21 CFR 520.2043(b)(2) are amended 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 part 20 
(21 CFR part 20) and Sec. 514.11(e)(2)(ii) (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 Dockets 
Management Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 12420 
Parklawn Dr., rm. 1-23, Rockville, MD 20857, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., 
Monday through Friday.
    The agency has carefully considered the potential environmental 
effects of this action. FDA has concluded that the action will not have 
a significant impact on the human environment, and that an 
environmental impact statement is not required. The agency's finding of 
no significant impact and the evidence supporting that finding, 
contained in an environmental assessment, may be seen in the Dockets 
Management Branch (address above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
