CPG ON EXTRA-LABEL USE OF MEDICATED FEEDS FOR MINOR SPECIES AVAILABLE

FDA announced the availability of a new Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) section 615.115 entitled "Extra-Label Use of Medicated Feeds for Minor Species'' in the April 23, 2001, Federal Register. The purpose of this CPG is to provide guidance to FDA personnel concerning the Agency's exercise of regulatory discretion with regard to the extra-label use of medicated feeds for minor species. This CPG has been revised in response to comments received on a draft that was announced in August 1999.

A copy of the CPG is available on the FDA Home Page. Individuals who prefer a paper copy may submit written requests for single copies of the CPG to the Communications Staff (HFV-12), Center for Veterinary Medicine, Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Place, Rockville, MD 20855. Please send one self-addressed adhesive label to assist that office in processing the request.

Comments on the CPG may be submitted any time to: FDA's Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Comments should be identified with the full title of the CPG and Docket number 99D-2638.
