(FDA)is amending the animal drug regulations to remove conditions of use in cattle and chickens for a coumaphos Type A medicated article for which approval was withdrawn in July 1996. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the agency's regulations. DATES: This rule is effective December 2, 2004. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George K. Haibel, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-827-4567, e-mail: *george.haibel@fda.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has found that parts 500 to 599 (21 CFR parts 500 to 599) of the Code of Federal Regulations reflect conditions of use in cattle for a coumaphos Type A medicated article for which approval was withdrawn by FDA, at the sponsors request, on July 3, 1996 (61 FR 34727). At this time, FDA is amending the regulations in § 558.185 to reflect the remaining approved uses of coumaphos in medicated cattle feeds. 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.
