    In a notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADAs 141-162 and 141-178, 
and ANADA 200-279, and all supplements and amendments thereto, are 
withdrawn, effective August 3, 2009. As provided in the regulatory text 
of this document, the animal drug regulations are amended to reflect 
the withdrawal of approval.
    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.
