Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in 21 CFR 522.540, 522.1183, 522.1260, and 524.1580b to reflect the transfer of ownership.

Following these changes of sponsorship, Chemdex, Inc., and Veterinary Laboratories, Inc., are no longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, the agency is amending 21 CFR 510.600(c) to remove the entries for Chemdex, Inc., and Veterinary Laboratories, Inc.

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.
