    SUMMARY: 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 Phoenix Scientific, Inc. The ANADA 
    provides for the use of a generic phenylbutazone injection in horses as 
    an anti-inflammatory agent.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 16, 1995.
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra K. Woods, Center for Veterinary 
    Medicine (HFV-114), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
    Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1617.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Phoenix Scientific, Inc., 3915 South 48th 
    Street Ter., P.O. Box 6457, St. Joseph, MO 64506-0457, is the sponsor 
    of ANADA 200-126 which provides for the use of generic Phenylbutazone 
    20% Injection (200 milligrams (mg) of phenylbutazone per milliliter 
    (mL) of solution) for the relief of inflammatory conditions associated 
    with the musculoskeletal system in horses.
        Approval of ANADA 200-126 for Phoenix Scientific's Phenylbutazone 
    20% Injection is as a generic copy of Coopers Animal Health's 
    Butazolidin (200 mg of phenylbutazone per mL) which is 
    covered by NADA 011-575. The ANADA is approved as of September 1, 1995, 
    and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.1720 to reflect the 
    approval. The basis for approval is discussed in the freedom of 
    information summary.
         In addition, the regulation contains an outdated footnote and 
    superscript references citing the National Academy of Science/National 
    Research Council (NAS/NRC) status of these products. The Generic Animal 
    Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1988 changed that status. The 
    NAS/NRC footnote references are removed at this time.
        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, rm. 1-23, 
    12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., 
    Monday through Friday.
        The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.24(d)(1)(i) 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.

        Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
    authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and 
    redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 522 is 
    amended as follows:
    
    PART 522--IMPLANTATION OR INJECTABLE DOSAGE FORM NEW ANIMAL DRUGS

    (21 U.S.C. 360b).
    
        2. Section 522.1720 is amended by removing the footnote in 
    paragraphs (c) and (d) and by revising paragraph (b)(2) to read as 
    follows:
    
    
    Sec. 522.1720   Phenylbutazone injection.
