    As provided in the regulatory text, the animal drug regulations are 
amended to reflect these approval actions. As they are now the sponsor 
of an approved application, QBiotics Group Ltd. and Revivicor, Inc. 
will be added to the list of sponsors of approved applications in 21 
CFR 510.600(c).

II. Technical Amendments

    FDA is making the following amendments to improve the accuracy, 
consistency, and readability of the animal drug regulations:
     21 CFR 558.128 is amended to reflect the sponsors of 
approved conditions of use for chlortetracycline in beef cattle.
     21 CFR 558.342 is amended to reformat special 
considerations for labeling and manufacture of melengestrol medicated 
feeds.
     Typographical errors are being corrected wherever they 
have been found.

[[Page 17063]]

III. 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 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.''

List of Subjects

Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

21 CFR Parts 520, 522, 524, and 528
