    Halocarbon Products Corp., 887 Kinderkamack Rd., River Edge, NJ 07661, filed ANADA 200-467 that provides for use of Sevoflurane, an inhalant anesthetic, in dogs. Halocarbon Products Corp.'s Sevoflurane is approved as a generic copy of SEVOFLO (sevoflurane), sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, under NADA 141-103. The ANADA is approved as of November 27, 2009, and the regulations are amended in § 529.2150 to reflect the approval.

    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.
