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

    Following the withdrawal of approval of these NADAs, Golden Sun 
Feeds, Inc., is no longer the sponsor of any approved applications. 
Therefore, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is amended to remove entries for the 
sponsor.
    Steris Laboratories currently has another approved application for 
dexamethasone injection (NADA 104-606). Therefore, the regulation is 
not amended to reflect the withdrawal of approval of NADA 110-349 
(dexamethasone injection).
    Steris Laboratories NADA 44-585 oxytocin injection is not codified 
under 21 CFR 522.1680 oxytocin injection. Also, Steris Laboratories 
NADA 45-848 phenylbutazone injection is not codified under 21 CFR 
522.1720 phenylbutazone injection. Therefore, amendments of the cited 
regulations are not required.
    As provided below, the animal drug regulations are amended to 
reflect the withdrawal of approvals.
    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.
