for Use in Humans and Drugs Intended for Use in Ruminants; Reporting 
Information Regarding Falsification of Data

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, we) is 
announcing the withdrawal of two proposed rules that published in the 
Federal Register. These proposed rules are not currently considered 
viable candidates for final action. FDA is taking this action because 
the regulatory requirements set forth in the proposed rules are not 
needed at this time to protect the public health.

DATES: As of September 28, 2018, the proposed rules published on 
January 12, 2007, at 72 FR 1582, and February 19, 2010, at 75 FR 7412 
are withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990, FDA began a process of periodically 
conducting comprehensive reviews of its regulation process, including 
reviewing the backlog of proposed rulemakings that had not been 
finalized. As FDA removed many proposed rules not finalized, the Agency 
implemented a process of reviewing existing proposed rules every 5 
years.
    As part of this process and the Administration's regulatory reform 
initiative, we continue to conduct reviews of existing proposed rules. 
The review determines if the proposals are outdated, unnecessary, or 
can be revised to reduce regulatory burden while allowing FDA to 
achieve our public health mission and fulfill statutory obligations.
    As part of these efforts, FDA is withdrawing the following proposed 
rules:

new opportunities for comment. Furthermore, these proposed rules'
