BILLING CODE 4163-18-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA-2013-D-0254] *Salmonella* Contamination of Dry Dog Food; Withdrawal of Compliance Policy Guide AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice; Withdrawal. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA)is announcing the withdrawal of the compliance policy guide
(CPG)entitled “Sec. 690.700 *Salmonella* Contamination of Dry Dog Food.” This CPG is obsolete. DATES: The withdrawal is effective July 16, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane D. Jeang, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Food and Drug Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857, 301-796-3890. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA issued the CGP entitled “Sec. 690.700 *Salmonella* Contamination of Dry Dog Food (CPG 690.700)” on October 1, 1980. CPG 690.700 was issued as a result of a human case of salmonellosis traced to dry dog food; a subsequent FDA-conducted survey of dry dog food; a risk analysis; and the development of an appropriate sampling technique to test dry dog food for *salmonella* organisms. Elsewhere in this issue of the **Federal Register** , FDA is announcing the availability of a new CPG to address all food for animals that may contain *salmonella* organisms, including dry dog food. This new CPG, entitled “Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 690.800 *Salmonella* in Food for Animals,” supersedes CPG 690.700 and makes CPG 690.700 obsolete. The notice of availability for CPG “Sec. 690.800 *Salmonella* in Food for Animals” is published elsewhere in this issue of the **Federal Register** . FDA is withdrawing CPG 690.700, in its entirety, to eliminate obsolete compliance policy. Dated: July 10, 2013. Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
