03-6891. New Animal Drugs; Phenylbutazone; Extralabel Animal Drug Use; Order of Prohibition; Correction

AGENCY:

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of February 28, 2003 (68 FR 9528). The document issued an order prohibiting the extralabel use of phenylbutazone animal and human drugs in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. FDA is correcting the regulation listing the prohibition by replacing “Phenylbutazone” with “Phenylbutazone in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older.” This correction is being made so that the phenylbutazone listing accurately reflects the agency's intent, which is reflected in the preamble to the final rule.

DATES:

This rule is effective May 29, 2003.
