**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
FDA is amending the animal drug regulations to revise a current mailing address and to add an email address to the previously codified contact information for use by distributors of an animal feed containing a VFD drug or a combination VFD drug.
This final rule sets forth a technical amendment to the regulations to improve the accuracy and completeness of the regulations, and as such does not impose any burden on regulated entities. Although denominated a rule pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, this document 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. Likewise, this is not a rule subject to Executive Order 12866, which defines a rule as “an agency statement of general applicability and future effect, which the agency intends to have the force and effect of law, that is designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or to describe the procedure or practice requirements of an agency.”
