FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  John K. Harshman, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-170), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sparhawk Laboratories, Inc., 12340 Santa Fe 
Trail Dr., Lenexa, KS 66215, filed ANADA 200-429 for the use of 
Ivermectin Injection in cattle and swine for treatment and control of 
various internal and external parasites. Sparhawk Laboratories, Inc.'s, 
Ivermectin Injection is approved as a generic copy of Merial Ltd.'s 
IVOMEC Injection for Cattle and Swine, approved under NADA 128-409. The 
ANADA is approved as of March 26, 2010, and the regulations in 21 CFR 
522.1192 are amended 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.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 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.
