    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Intervet Inc., 29160 Intervet Lane, P.O. Box 318, Millsboro, DE 19966, filed supplements to NADA 140-897 and NADA 140-992 for REVALOR (trenbolone acetate and estradiol) implants. Ivy Laboratories, Division of Ivy Animal Health, Inc., 8857 Bond St., Overland Park, KS 66214, filed supplements to ANADA 200-221 and ANADA 200-346 for COMPONENT (trenbolone acetate and estradiol) and COMPONENT plus TYLAN (trenbolone acetate and estradiol with tylosin tartrate) implants. Fort Dodge Animal Health, Division of Wyeth, 800 Fifth St. NW., Fort Dodge, IA 50501, filed a supplement to ANADA 200-367 for SYNOVEX (trenbolone acetate and estradiol) implants. The supplemental NADAs and ANADAs provide for the addition of statements to labeling warning against the use of these products in calves to be processed for veal. The supplemental applications are approved as of October 28, 2004, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.2477 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 21 CFR part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), summaries of safety and effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of these applications 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 these actions are of a type that do 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.
