animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new 
animal drug application (NADA) filed by Phibro Animal Health. The 
supplemental NADA provides for label revisions associated with a 
previous change of sponsorship and other minor changes for amprolium 
concentrate solution to make medicated drinking water for chickens and 
turkeys for the treatment of coccidiosis. The product approval is being 
codified for the first time.

DATES: This rule is effective August 6, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Phibro Animal Health, 65 Challenger Rd., 3d 
floor, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660, filed a supplement to NADA 13-663 
that provides for the use of COCCIPROL (amprolium) 9.6% Oral Solution 
to make medicated drinking water for chickens and turkeys for the 
treatment of coccidiosis. The supplemental NADA provides for label 
revisions associated with a previous change of sponsorship and other 
minor changes. The supplemental NADA is approved as of July 8, 2008, 
and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 520.100 to reflect the 
approval. The product approval is being codified for the first time. 
Also, Sec.  520.100 is revised to reflect current pathogen spelling.
    Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of 
additional safety or effectiveness data or information. Therefore, a 
freedom of information summary is not required.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(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.

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under

amended as follows:
