----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In a notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADAs 93-029, 97-981, 100-
840, 100-991, 101-079, 101-905, 101-906, 102-824, 108-487, 108-863, 
140-820, 140-825, and 140-910, and all supplements and amendments 
thereto, is withdrawn, effective April 11, 2011. As provided in the 
regulatory text of this document, the animal drug regulations are 
amended to reflect these withdrawals of approval and a current format.
    Following these changes of sponsorship, Abraxis Pharmaceutical 
Products, Furst-McNess Co., Roche Vitamins, Inc., Waterloo Mills Co., 
and Wendt Laboratories, Inc., are no longer the sponsors of an approved 
application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove 
the entries for these firms.
    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.
