    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    The Veterinary Medicine Committee was established on April 24, 1984 (49 FR 20809; May 17, 1984). The purpose of the Committee was to review and evaluate available data concerning safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational new animal drugs, feeds, and devices for use in the treatment and prevention of animal diseases and increased animal production. The Committee is no longer needed and was terminated on September 24, 2013.

    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and (d) and 21 CFR 10.40 (d) and (e), the Agency finds good cause to dispense with notice and public comment procedures and to proceed to an immediate effective date on this rule. Notice and public comment and a delayed effective date are unnecessary and are not in the public interest as this final rule merely removes the name of the Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee from the list of FDA's standing advisory committees in 21 CFR 14.100.

    Therefore, the Agency is amending 21 CFR 14.100(f) as set forth in the regulatory text of this document.
