SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Natchez Animal Supply Co., 201 John R. Junkin Dr., Natchez, MS 39120, has requested that FDA withdraw approval of NADA 121-557 for THR Worm (dichlorophene and toluene) Capsules used in dogs and cats for removal of certain intestinal parasites. This action is requested because the product is no longer manufactured or marketed. The animal drug regulations are amended to reflect the withdrawal of approval.

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.
