U.S.C. 331(a) and (d)). Drug products that are listed in the table that 
are in inventory on April 13, 2018 may continue to be dispensed until 
the inventories have been depleted or the drug products have reached 
their expiration dates or otherwise become violative, whichever occurs 
first.

    Dated: March 8, 2018.
