SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending the animal drug regulations 
in 21 CFR 558.95 to correct an inadvertent error in the conditions of 
use of bambermycins free-choice cattle feeds. The error was introduced 
in a final rule for liquid and free-choice medicated feeds that 
published May 27, 2004 (69 FR 30194). This action is being taken to 
improve the accuracy and readability of the animal drug 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.
