Sec.  530.24   Procedure for announcing analytical methods for drug residue quantification.

    (a) FDA may issue an order announcing a specific analytical method 
or methods for the quantification of extralabel use drug residues above 
the safe levels established under Sec.  530.22 for extralabel use of an 
approved human drug or an approved animal drug. The agency will publish 
in the Federal Register a notice of the order, including the name of the 
specific analytical method or methods and the drug or drugs for which 
the method is applicable.
    (b) Copies of analytical methods for the quantification of 
extralabel use drug residues above the safe levels established under 
Sec.  530.22 will be available upon request from the Communications and 
Education Branch (HFV-12), Division of Program Communication and 
Administrative Management, Center for Veterinary Medicine, 7500 Standish 
Pl., Rockville, MD 20855. When an analytical method for the detection of 
extralabel use drug residues above the safe levels established under 
Sec.  530.22 is developed, and that method is acceptable to the agency, 
FDA will incorporate that method by reference.
