Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Confirmation of Effective Date of Final Rule; Correction

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule; confirmation of effective date, that appeared in the Federal Register of Friday, April 24, 2009 (74 FR 18626) (the April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date). That document had confirmed the effective date of April 27, 2009, for a final rule that published in the Federal Register of April 25, 2008 (73 FR 22720), entitled "Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed." In the April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date, the agency also established a compliance date of October 26, 2009, in order to allow additional time for renderers to comply with the new requirements. The April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date was published with an inadvertent error in the "Background" section. This document corrects that error.
