    In a notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADA 11-141, 14-250, 34-536, 
34-537, 35-388, 39-666, 44-015, and 45-455, and all supplements and 
amendments thereto, is withdrawn, effective November 5, 2010. As 
provided in the regulatory text of this document, the animal drug 
regulations are amended to reflect these withdrawals 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.
