Information Collection; Request for Comments; Forest Products Removal Permits and Contracts

Viruses, Serums, Toxins, and Analogous Products; Standard Requirements for Bovine Virus Diarrhea and Bovine Rhinotracheitis Vaccines
We are withdrawing a proposed rule to amend the Virus-Serum- Toxin Act regulations concerning Standard Requirements for Bovine Virus Diarrhea Vaccine, Killed Virus, and Bovine Rhinotracheitis Vaccine, Killed Virus.
