    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    G. C. Hanford Manufacturing Co., P.O. Box 1017, Syracuse, NY 13201, filed ANADA 200-335 that provides for use of ampicillin sodium as a constituted solution by injection in horses for the treatment of various bacterial infections. G. C. Hanford Manufacturing Co.'s Ampicillin Sodium is approved as a generic copy of Pfizer, Inc.'s, AMP-EQUINE, approved under NADA 55-084. The ANADA is approved as of July 12, 2007, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 522.90c to reflect the approval and a current format. 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), 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.

    FDA 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.
