SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice 
that approval of the seven NADAs listed in table 1, and all supplements 
and amendments thereto, is withdrawn, effective February 23, 2021, for 
lack of compliance with reporting requirements in 21 CFR 514.80. As 
provided in the regulatory text of this document, the animal drug 
regulations are amended to reflect withdrawal of approval of the 
following applications and a current format. Withdrawal of approval of 
NADA 065-067 for Tetracycline Hydrochloride (HCl) Tablets did not 
require amending the regulations.

    Following these withdrawals of approval, Alaco, Inc.; ConAgra Pet 
Products Co.; OXIS International, Inc.; RSR Laboratories, Inc.; and 
Walco International, 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.

II. Legal Authority

    This rule sets forth technical amendments to the regulations to 
codify recent actions on approved new animal drug applications and 
corrections to improve the accuracy of the regulations, and as such 
does not impose any burden on regulated entities. This rule is issued 
under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C 
Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)), which requires Federal Register publication 
of the conditions of use of an approved or conditionally approved new 
animal drug and the name and address of the drug's sponsor in a 
``notice, which upon publication shall be effective as a regulation.'' 
A notice published pursuant to section 512(i) is not subject to the 
notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements of the Administrative 
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 551 et seq. See section 512(i) of the FD&C Act 
(21 U.S.C. 360b(i)); 21 CFR 10.40(e)(3); S. Rep. 90-1308, at 5 (1968).
    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.''
