II. Change of Sponsor's Address
Nexcyon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 644 West Washington Ave., Madison,
WI 53719 has informed FDA that it has changed its address to P.O. Box
259158, Madison, WI 53725. Accordingly, the regulations at 21 CFR
510.600(c) will be amended to reflect this sponsor's change of address.
III. Technical Amendments
FDA has noticed that drug labeler codes (DLCs) in several sections
of part 558 (21 CFR part 558) do not accurately reflect the sponsorship
of a new animal drug application. At this time, we are amending part
558 to remove these DLCs. Also, FDA is amending the regulations to
revise a human food safety warning for tulathromycin injectable
solution in 21 CFR 522.2630 and to correct a cross-reference for
combination medicated feeds in Sec. 558.128 (21 CFR 558.128). These
actions are being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
The restrictions for veterinary feed directive (VFD) drugs in part
558 are being revised to reflect a uniform text. In addition, we are
revising Sec. 558.59 to reflect a current format. These actions are
being taken to improve the clarity of the regulations.
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.
