    V. Technical Amendments

    FDA is making the following amendments to improve the accuracy and readability of the animal drug regulations.

    • 21 CFR 510.600 is amended to remove entries for Heska Corp. and Piramal Critical Care, Inc. from the lists of sponsors of approved applications, to revise the entries for Cronus Pharma Specialities India Private Ltd. and ECO LLC; and to add entries for Diamond Animal Health, Inc.
    • 21 CFR 522.840 is amended to reflect revisions to approved labeling for cattle implants containing estradiol.
    • 21 CFR 522.1940 is amended to reflect the current format for regulations and revisions to approved labeling for cattle implants containing progesterone and estradiol benzoate.
    • 21 CFR 522.2343 is amended to reflect revisions to approved labeling for cattle implants containing testosterone propionate and estradiol benzoate.
    • 21 CFR 522.2477 is amended to reflect revisions to approved labeling for cattle implants containing trenbolone acetate and estradiol.
    • 21 CFR 524.1193 is amended to reflect periods of persistent activity for an approved generic ivermectin topical solution used in cattle.
    • 21 CFR 558.485 is amended to reflect an inclusion rate for pyrantel tartrate in medicated horse feeds.

    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.
