Elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register
, FDA gave notice that approval of NADA 009–505, and all supplements and amendments thereto, is withdrawn, effective May 22, 2017. Following this withdrawal of approval, Sioux Biochemical, Inc., is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. As provided in the regulatory text of this document, the animal drug regulations are amended to reflect this voluntary withdrawal of approval.
IV. Technical Amendments
We are also making several technical amendments in part 558, which was amended on December 27, 2016 (81 FR 94991), and February 24, 2017 (82 FR 11510), as part of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine's (CVM's) Judicious Use Initiative. These actions are being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
This final rule is issued under Section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.360b(i)), which requires
Federal Register
publication of “notice[s]. . . effective as a regulation,” of the conditions of use of approved new animal drugs. 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.
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.” As such, this document is also not subject to Executive Order 12866.
