Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in Secs. 520.1840, 558.58, 558.115, 558.128, 558.198, 558.311, 558.355, 558.360, 558.435, 558.450, 558.460, 558.465, 558.485, 558.515, 558.550, 558.555, 558.625, and 558.635 (21 CFR 520.1840, 558.58, 558.115, 558.128, 558.198, 558.311, 558.355, 558.360, 558.435, 558.450, 558.460, 558.465, 558.485, 558.515, 558.550, 558.555, 558.625, and 558.635) to reflect the transfer of ownership. In addition, Secs. 520.1840 and 558.485 are being revised to reflect current format.

Section 558.450 is also being amended to remove the entries for combination uses of oxytetracycline (OTC) with monensin, provided under NADA 99-066, because they are redundant with entries in Sec. 558.355. The entry for the use of 400 grams per (g/) ton OTC with 90 to 110 g/ ton monensin in Sec. 558.450(d)(1)(vi) is an error created during prior revisions (61 FR 51588, Oct. 3, 1996). The correct drug levels, 200 g/ ton OTC with 90 to 110 g/ton monensin, for the same indications are codified in

[[Page 47963]]

Sec. 558.355(f)(1)(viii). The entry for the use of 500 g/ton OTC with 90 to 110 g/ton monensin in Sec. 558.450(d)(1)(vii) is redundant with Sec. 558.355(f)(1)(xxii).

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.
