Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 558.58, 558.76, 558.78, 558.95, 558.120, 558.128, 558.140, 558.145, 558.155, 558.195, 558.305, 558.311, 558.340, 558.355, 558.363, 558.366, 558.515, 558.550, 558.575, 558.582, and 558.600 to reflect the transfer of ownership. Section 558.95 is also being amended to remove paragraph (d)(1)(x), an entry pertaining to NADA 112-687, which is redundant with § 558.311(e)(1)(ii). Other nonsubstantive changes are being made to remove incorrect drug labeler codes.

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.
