------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In a notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, FDA gave notice that approval of NADAs 014-485, 032-322, 044-
655, 045-288, 049-890, 055-034, 055-052, 065-158, 065-259, 065-488, 
095-953, 100-689, 100-690, 107-957, 111-069, 131-956, 131-957, 133-490, 
140-842, and 140-958, and all supplements and amendments thereto, is 
withdrawn, effective February 13, 2012. As provided in the regulatory 
text of this document, the animal drug regulations are amended to 
reflect these withdrawals of approval and a current format.
    Following these withdrawals of approval, Evsco Pharmaceuticals, an 
Affiliate of IGI, Inc.; Medical Developments International, Ltd.; and 
Norco Mills of Norfolk, Inc., are no longer the sponsor of an approved 
application. Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove 
the entries for these firms.
    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.

Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
