SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), provides
certain protections for individuals
applying for and receiving federal
benefits. The law governs the use of
computer matching by federal agencies
when records in a system of records
contain information about individuals,
are retrieved by name or other personal
identifier, and are matched with records
of other federal, state, or local
government records. The Privacy Act
requires agencies involved in a
matching program to:
1. Obtain approval of a Computer
Matching Agreement, prepared in
accordance with the Privacy Act, by the
Data Integrity Board of each federal
agency in a matching program, as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(u)(3)(A).
2. Enter into a written Computer
Matching Agreement, as required by 5
U.S.C. 552a(o)(1).
3. Provide a report of the matching
program to Congress and the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
make it available to the public, as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(A).
4. Publish notice of the matching
program in the Federal Register as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12) after
OMB and Congress complete their
review of the report, as provided by
OMB Circular A–108.
5. Provide individual notice at the
time of application and periodically
thereafter that applicants and recipients’
information provided may be subject to
verification through matching programs,
as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D).
6. Independently verify match
findings before suspending, terminating,
reducing, or making a final denial of an
individual’s benefits or payments or
taking other adverse action against the
individual, as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(p). This matching program
complies with these requirements.

Manual Guide 1240.3605 Regulating
Animal Foods With Drug Claims;
Withdrawal
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
Notice of withdrawal.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is
announcing the withdrawal of the
Center for Veterinary Medicine’s
(CVM’s) Program Policy and Procedures
Manual Guide (PPM) 1240.3605
Regulating Animal Foods with Drug
Claims. This 1998 document presented
guidance to CVM staff for the regulation
of animal food that may have intended
uses that result in the products also
being drugs. FDA is withdrawing PPM
1240.3605 after determining that it no
longer reflects Agency current thinking.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Medicine (HFV–200), Food and Drug

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is
announcing the withdrawal of CVM’s
PPM 1240.3605 Regulating Animal
Foods with Drug Claims. This 1998
document presented guidance to CVM
staff for the regulation of animal food
that may have intended uses that result
in the products being drugs under
section 201(g) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321(g)).
In 2021, CVM initiated a review of
PPM 1240.3605, spurred by stakeholder
interest, including industry and
government (e.g., Congressional)
stakeholders. Congress requested FDA
‘‘review [PPM] 1240.3605 for solutions
on how ingredient claims for animal
production, animal well-being, food
safety and the environment can be
regulated as animal food.’’ In making
this request, Congress expressed
concern that PPM 1240.3605 had not
been updated since 1998 and had not
kept pace with science (H. Rep. No.
117–82 at 91 (2022)).
On October 18, 2022, CVM held a
virtual listening session to gather
information and stakeholder feedback to
be considered during our review of the
regulation of animal food with certain
types of claims, such as claims about
environmental benefits (e.g., reduced
greenhouse gas emissions), production
