21 CFR Part 558

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0155]

Veterinary Feed Directive Drugs; Contact Information

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to revise a current mailing address and to add an 
email address to the previously codified contact information for use by 
distributors of an animal feed containing a veterinary feed directive 
(VFD) drug or a combination VFD drug. This technical amendment is being 
made to improve the accuracy and completeness of the regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective August 18, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Isabel Pocurull, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-221), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 240-402-5877, isabel.pocurull@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending the animal drug regulations 
to revise a current mailing address and to add an email address to the 
previously codified contact information for use by distributors of an 
animal feed containing a VFD drug or a combination VFD drug.
    This final rule sets forth a technical amendment to the regulations 
to improve the accuracy and completeness of the regulations, and as 
such does not impose any burden on regulated entities. Although 
denominated a rule pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
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.'' 
Therefore, it 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, which defines a rule as ``an agency statement of general 
applicability and future effect, which the agency intends to have the 
force and effect of law, that is designed to implement, interpret, or 
prescribe law or policy or to describe the procedure or practice 
requirements of an agency.''

List of Subjects in 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 part 
558 is amended as follows:
