AGENCY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of an abbreviated new animal drug application (ANADA) filed by B.L. Mitchell, Inc. The ANADA provides for the use of formalin in a water bath for the control of certain external parasites on finfish and shrimp and for the control of certain fungi on finfish eggs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

John K. Harshman, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-104), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-0169, e-mail: john.harshman@fda.hhs.gov .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

B.L. Mitchell, Inc., 103 Hwy. 82 E., Leland, MS 38756, filed ANADA 200-414 that provides for use of Formacide-B (formalin) in a water bath for the control of certain external parasites on finfish and shrimp and for the control of certain fungi on finfish eggs. B.L. Mitchell, Inc.'s Formacide-B is approved as a generic copy of Parasite-S, sponsored by Western Chemical, Inc., under NADA 140-989. The ANADA is approved as of July 17, 2007, and the regulations are amended in § 529.1030 to reflect the approval.

In addition, B.L. Mitchell, Inc., has not been previously listed in the animal drug regulations as a sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to add entries for this firm.

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.

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.
