**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
FDA has found that the animal drug regulations do not reflect the correct drug labeler code for Med-Pharmex, Inc. Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 510.600, 520.1044a, 520.1195, 520.1484, 520.1485, 520.2220a, 520.2345d, 522.900, 524.1044b, 524.1044f, 524.1044g, 524.1193, 524.1443, 524.1580b, 524.1580e, 524.1600a, 524.2481, and 529.1044b to correct this error. In addition, 21 CFR 524.1044b, 524.1044f, 524.1443, and 524.2481 are being revised to reflect a current format.
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.
