# Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Confirmation of Effective Date of Final Rule; Correction
**AGENCY:**
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
**ACTION:**
Final rule; confirmation of effective date; correction.
**SUMMARY:**
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule; confirmation of effective date, that appeared in the *Federal Register* of Friday, April 24, 2009 (74 FR 18626) (the April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date). That document had confirmed the effective date of April 27, 2009, for a final rule that published in the *Federal Register* of April 25, 2008 (73 FR 22720), entitled “Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed.” In the April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date, the agency also established a compliance date of October 26, 2009, in order to allow additional time for renderers to comply with the new requirements. The April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date was published with an inadvertent error in the “Background” section. This document corrects that error.
**DATES:**
This correction is effective: May 5, 2009.
