Federal Register Volume 81, Issue 139 (July 20, 2016)

In a final rule published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2015, and effective on September 8, 2015, we amended the Virus-Serum- Toxin Act regulations to provide for the use of a simpler labeling format that would better communicate product performance to the user. Among other things, we provided the address of a Web site for accessing transmittal forms to be used with each submission of sketches and labels. However, the Web site address provided is incorrect. Therefore, we are amending the regulations to provide the correct address.

SUMMARY: In a final rule published in the Federal Register on July 10, 
2015, and effective on September 8, 2015, we amended the Virus-Serum-
Toxin Act regulations to provide for the use of a simpler labeling 
format that would better communicate product performance to the user. 
Among other things, we provided the address of a Web site for accessing 
transmittal forms to be used with each submission of sketches and 
labels. However, the Web site address provided is incorrect. Therefore, 
we are amending the regulations to provide the correct address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final rule \1\ that was published in 
the Federal Register on July 10, 2015 (80 FR 39669-39675, Docket No. 
APHIS-2011-0049), and effective on September 8, 2015, we amended the 
Virus-Serum-Toxin Act regulations to provide for the use of a simpler 
labeling format that would better communicate product performance to 
the user. Among other things, we provided the address of a Web site in 
Sec.  112.5(a) for accessing transmittal forms to be used with each 
submission of sketches (including proofs) and labels. However, the Web 
site address provided is for accessing product licensing data and not 
transmittal forms. Therefore, we are amending Sec.  112.5(a) to correct 
the address.
