Ave., Loveland, CO 80538-7084. The entries in Sec.  510.600(c) are 
amended to reflect this action.

V. Technical Amendments

    FDA is making the following amendments to improve the accuracy of 
the animal drug regulations.
     21 CFR 510.600 is amended to reflect sponsors of approved 
applications by adding entries for Domes Pharma S.A., Genus 
Lifesciences, Inc., and Noble Pharma, LLC, by revising the entry for 
Heska Corp., and by removing the entries for Jurox Pty. Ltd. and Oasmia 
Pharmaceutical AB.
     21 CFR 520.23 is amended to reflect approved strengths of 
acepromazine maleate tablets for dogs and cats.
     21 CFR 522.460 is amended to reflect current labeling for 
cloprostenol injectable solution for use in cattle.
     21 CFR 522.2640 is amended to reflect the approved 
strengths of generic tylosin injectable solutions.
     21 CFR 558.330 is amended to reflect the sponsors of drugs 
approved for use in combination medicated feeds containing lubebegron 
and monensin.
     21 CFR 558.355 is amended to reflect the classes of

     21 CFR 558.625 is amended to reflect the sponsors of drugs 
approved for use in combination medicated feeds containing lubebegron, 
monensin, and tylosin.

VI. Legal Authority

    This final rule is issued under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)). Although deemed 
a rule pursuant to the FD&C Act, this document does not meet the 
definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a ``rule of 
particular applicability'' and is not subject to the congressional 
review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808. Likewise, this is not a rule 
subject to Executive Order 12866.

List of Subjects

21 CFR Part 510

    Administrative practice and procedure, Animal drugs, Labeling, 
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

21 CFR Part 516

    Administrative practice and procedure, Animal drugs, Confidential 
business information, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

21 CFR Parts 520, 522, and 524

    Animal drugs.

21 CFR Part 558

    Animal drugs, Animal feeds.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR parts 
510, 516, 520, 522, 524, and 558 are amended as follows:
