III. Withdrawals of Approval

    In addition, during September and October 2015, the following three

\1\ These NADAs were identified as being affected by guidance for industry #213, ``New Animal Drugs and New
  Animal Drug Combination Products Administered in or on Medicated Feed or Drinking Water of Food-Producing
  Animals: Recommendations for Drug Sponsors for Voluntarily Aligning Product Use Conditions with GFI #209,''
  December 2013.

    Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA gave notice 
that approval of NADA 140-680, NADA 140-681, ANADA 200-028, and ANADA 
200-383, and all supplements and amendments thereto, is withdrawn, 
effective December 21, 2015. As provided in the regulatory text of this 
document, the animal drug regulations are amended to reflect these 
voluntary withdrawals of approval.

IV. Technical Amendments

    FDA has noticed that a previous sponsor of ANADA 200-383, Teva 
Canada Ltd., was no longer the sponsor of an approved application 
following a prior change of sponsorship. At this time, FDA is amending 
the regulation to remove the firm from the listings of sponsors of 
approved applications in 21 CFR 510.600. This action is being taken to 
improve the accuracy of the regulations.
    FDA is also revising the special considerations for medicated feeds 
containing veterinary feed directive drugs to align with 21 CFR 
558.6(a)(6), which was recently amended (80 FR 31708, June 3, 2015). 
This action is being taken to improve the consistency of the 
regulations.
    This rule 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.
