Frozen--Adulteration Involving Decomposition (CPG 7108.05) (CPG Sec. 
540.575). This action is being taken because the guidance in CPG Sec. 
540.575 relating to decomposition in fresh and frozen fish is not 
current.

DATES:  The withdrawal is effective July 18, 2008.

ADDRESSES:  Submit written requests for single copies of CPG Sec.

Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. Send two self-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  FDA is withdrawing CPG Sec. 540.575 because 
the CPG does not provide FDA staff with current agency regulatory 
action guidance relating to decomposition in fresh and frozen fish.
    FDA has developed a draft CPG Sec. 540.370 Fish and Fishery 
Products--Decomposition (draft CPG Sec. 540.370) to provide guidance 
for FDA staff relating to decomposition in fresh and frozen fish as 
well as other fishery products. Draft CPG Sec. 540.370, when final, 
will provide FDA staff with current regulatory action guidance. Draft 
CPG Sec. 540.370 is available for comment, as indicated in the notice 
published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.

    Dated: June 30, 2008.
Margaret O'K. Glavin,
Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs.
