I. General Description of the Committees Duties

A. Device Good Manufacturing Practice Advisory Committee

    The Committee reviews regulations proposed for issuance regarding
good manufacturing practices governing the methods used in, and the
facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, packing, storage,
and installation of devices, and makes recommendations to the
Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner) regarding the
feasibility and reasonableness of those proposed regulations. The
committee also advises the Commissioner with regard to any petition
submitted by a manufacturer for an exemption or variance from good
manufacturing practice regulations that is referred to the committee.

B. Medical Devices Advisory Committee

    The Committee reviews and evaluates data on the safety and
effectiveness of marketed and investigational devices and makes
recommendations for their regulation. The panels engage in a number of
activities to fulfill the functions the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) envisions for device advisory panels. With
the exception of the Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel, each
panel, according to its specialty area performs the following duties:
(1) Advises the Commissioner regarding recommended classification or
reclassification of devices into one of three regulatory categories,
(2) advises on any possible risks to health associated with the use of
devices, (3) advises on formulation of product development protocols,
(4) reviews premarket approval applications for medical devices, (5)
reviews guidelines and guidance documents, (6) recommends exemption of
certain devices from the application of portions of the FD&C Act, (7)
advises on the necessity to ban a device, and (8) responds to requests
from the Agency to review and make recommendations on specific issues
or problems concerning the safety and effectiveness of devices. With
the exception of the Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel, each
panel, according to its specialty area, may also make appropriate
recommendations to the Commissioner on issues relating to the design of
clinical studies regarding the safety and effectiveness of marketed and
investigational devices.
    The Dental Products Panel also functions at times as a dental drug
panel. The functions of the dental drug panel are to evaluate and
recommend whether various prescription drug products should be changed
to over-the-counter status and to evaluate data and make
recommendations concerning the approval of new dental drug products for
human use.
    The Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel provides advice to the
Commissioner on complex or contested scientific issues between FDA and
medical device sponsors, applicants, or manufacturers relating to
specific products, marketing applications, regulatory decisions and
actions by FDA, and Agency guidance and policies. The panel makes
recommendations on issues that are lacking resolution, are highly
complex in nature, or result from challenges to regular advisory panel
proceedings or Agency decisions or actions.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1058]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before November 2, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1058, to
William R. Blanton Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Reason for No Prior Notice and Comment before Adoption

    The FAA has determined that notice and opportunity for public
comment are impractical because we do not expect substantive comments,
and because this special condition only affects this one manufacturer.
We also considered that these procedures would significantly delay the
issuance of the design approval, and thus, the delivery of the affected
aircraft. As certification for the Eurocopter France model EC175B is
imminent, the FAA finds that good cause exists for making these special
conditions effective upon issuance.

Comments Invited

    While we did not precede this with a notice of proposed special
conditions, we invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking
by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive by the closing date for
comments. We will consider comments filed late if it is possible to do
so without incurring expense or delay. We may change these special
conditions based on the comments we receive.

Background and Discussion

    On March 10, 2008, Eurocopter France applied for a Type Certificate
for the new model EC175B. The EC175B is a Transport Category, 14 CFR
part 29, twin engine conventional helicopter designed for civil
operations. This model will be certificated with Category A performance
and under dual pilot instrument flight rules, powered by two Pratt &
Whitney PT6C-67E engines with a dual channel Full Authority Digital
Engine Control system, have five main rotor blades, a maximum gross
weight of 15,400 pounds, and a velocity not to exceed 175 knots. The
EC175B model will have an integrated modular avionics suite with four
6x8 inch multi-function displays termed the Common Integrated Global
Avionics for Light Helicopters. This rotorcraft will be capable of
carrying 16 passengers and 2 crew members. Its initial customer base
will be offshore oil and Search and Rescue operations.
    Eurocopter France proposes that the EC175B model use a novel and
unusual design feature, which is a 30-minute power rating, identified
in the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67E engine type certificate data
sheet (TCDS) [FAA TCDS No. E00068EN]. 14 CFR 1.1 defines ``rated
takeoff power'' as limited in use to no more than 5 minutes for takeoff
operation. Thus, the use of takeoff power for 30 minutes will require
special airworthiness standards, known as special conditions, to
address the use of this 30-minute power rating and its effects on the
rotorcraft. The use of this power will be limited to 50 minutes per
flight based on engine durability considerations. These special
conditions will add requirements to the existing airworthiness
standards in 14 CFR 29.1049 (Hovering cooling test procedures), Sec.
29.1305 (Powerplant instruments), and Sec.  29.1521 (Powerplant
limitations).
    For the EC175B, the European Aviation Safety Agency has issued CRI
E-01, which documents the special conditions.

    The following is a summary of the final special conditions:
    In addition to the requirements of Sec.  29.1049, the aircraft
cooling effects due to use of the 30-minute power rating must be
accounted for in the testing.
    In addition to the requirements of Sec.  29.1305, since this new
30-minute power rating has a time limit associated with its use, the
pilot must have the means to identify:
     When the rated engine power level is achieved,
     When the event begins,
     When the time interval expires, and
     When the cumulative time in one flight is reached.
    In addition to the requirements of Sec.  29.1521, Powerplant
Limitations, the use of takeoff power for 30 minutes must be limited to
not more than 30 minutes per use and no more than 50 minutes per
flight. This is based upon the definition of ``rated takeoff power'' in
14 CFR 1.1, which limits the use of rated takeoff power to periods of
not over 5 minutes for takeoff operation.
    Furthermore, the Model EC175B rotorcraft flight manual must include
limitations on use of the 30-minute power rating to state:
     Continuous use above maximum continuous power (MCP) is
limited to 30 minutes, and
     Cumulative use above MCP is limited to 50 minutes per
flight.

Type Certification Basis

    Under 14 CFR 21.17, Eurocopter France must show that the EC175B
model helicopter meets the applicable provisions of part 29, as amended
by Amendment 29-1 through 29-52, dated April 5, 2010. In addition, the
certification basis includes certain later amended sections of part 29
that are not relevant to these special conditions.
    The Administrator has determined that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (that is, 14 CFR part 29) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the EC175B model helicopter because of
a novel or unusual design feature. Therefore, special conditions are
prescribed under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.16.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the EC175B must comply with the noise certification
requirements of 14 CFR part 36; and the FAA must issue a finding of
regulatory adequacy under section 611 of Public Law 92-574, the ``Noise
Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in Sec.  11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the
other model.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The EC175B model helicopter will incorporate a novel or unusual
design feature, which is:
     A 30-minute power rating.

Applicability

    These special conditions are applicable to the Eurocopter France
model EC175B helicopter. Should Eurocopter France apply at a later date
for an amendment to the type certificate to include another model
incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, the special
conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on the Eurocopter France model EC175B helicopter. It is not a rule of
general applicability, and it affects only the applicant who applied to
the FAA for approval of this feature.

requirements of this section, the special condition states:
    ``The hovering cooling provisions at the 30-minute power rating
must be shown--
    (a) At maximum weight or at the greatest weight at which the
rotorcraft can hover (if less), at sea level, with the power required
to hover but not more than the 30-minute power, in the ground effect in
still air, until:
     At least 5 minutes after the occurrence of the highest
temperature recorded; or
     the continuous time limit of the 30-minute power rating if
the highest temperature recorded is not stabilized before.
    (b) At maximum weight, and at the altitude resulting in zero rate
of climb for this configuration, until:
     At least 5 minutes after the occurrence of the highest
temperature recorded; or
     the continuous time limit of the 30-minute power rating if
the highest temperature recorded is not stabilized before.''
    (b) Section 29.1305 Powerplant instruments, at Amendment 29-40. In
addition to the requirements of this section, the special condition is
similar to Sec.  29.1305(a)(25) for the 30-minute power rating and
states:
    ``For rotorcraft with a 30-minute power rating, a means must be
provided to alert the pilot when the engine is at the 30-minute power
level, when the event begins, when the time interval expires, and when
the cumulative time in one flight is reached.''
    (c) Section 29.1521 Powerplant limitations, at Amendment 29-41. In
addition to the requirements of this section, the special condition is
similar to Sec.  29.1521(b) and states:
    ``Use of the 30-minute power must be limited to no more than 30
minutes per use, and no more than 50 minutes per flight. The use of the
30-minute power must also be limited by:
    (1) The maximum rotational speed, which may not be greater than--
    (i) The maximum value determined by the rotor design; or
    (ii) The maximum value demonstrated during the type tests;
    (2) The maximum allowable turbine inlet or turbine outlet gas
temperature (for turbine engines);
    (3) The maximum allowable power or torque for each engine,
considering the power input limitations of the transmission with all
engines operating;
    (4) The maximum allowable power or torque for each engine
considering the power input limitations of the transmission with one
engine inoperative;
    (5) The time limit for the use of the power corresponding to the

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1998-0007; FRL-9499-5]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Notice of Intent for Deletion of the State
Marine of Port Arthur Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing
a Notice of Intent to Delete the State Marine of Port Arthur (SMPA)
Superfund Site located in Port Arthur, Texas, from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed
action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the
State of Texas, through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
have determined that all appropriate response actions at these
identified parcels under CERCLA, other than operations, maintenance,
and Five-Year Reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does
not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by January 5, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion for SMPA Superfund Site without prior Notice of Intent for
Deletion because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and
anticipates no adverse comments. We have explained our reason for this
deletion in the preamble to the direct final Notice of Deletion, and
those reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no adverse
comment(s) on this deletion action, we will not take further action on
this Notice of Intent for Deletion. If we receive adverse comment(s),
we will withdraw the direct final Notice of Deletion and it will not
take effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final Notice of Deletion based on this Notice of Intent for
Deletion. We will not institute a second comment period on this Notice
of Intent for Deletion. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Deletion

Mr. Andy Garrett

President

Garrett Services, Inc.

P.O. Box 2233

Gig Harbor, WA  98335

Dear Mr. Garrett:

Thank you for your letter of November 30, 2004 concerning the use of a
drilling fluid blend that contains n-propyl bromide (nPB).  You
specifically asked if use of this drilling fluid falls within the use
areas defined under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP)
program for nPB.  You also asked if the failure of nPB to receive SNAP
approval would cause the Garrett drilling fluid to be prohibited.

Based on the descriptions you provided to Margaret Sheppard and I in
your letter and in our conference call of November 19, 2004, we believe
that the Garrett drilling fluid you described does not fall within the
end uses defined under the SNAP program. The descriptions you hprovided
indicate that the Garrett drilling function serves as a combination
lubricant and heat transfer fluid for drilling. This fluid is not a
cleaning solvent used in industrial cleaning equipment, so it does not
fall under metal, electronics, or precision cleaning according to the
original SNAP regulation (March 18, 1994; 59 FR 13090).  The Garrett
drilling fluid is not applied through a pressurized spray can that
releases the solvents using a propellant, so it does not qualify as an
aerosol solvent.  The drilling fluid is not a decorative or durable
coating such as paint, wood stain, or aerospace coating, so this fluid
also falls outside the description of a coating under the SNAP Program
(59 FR 13118).  Thus, it does not appear that the Garrett drilling fluid
falls within the end uses regulated under the SNAP program.  Therefore,
even if use of nPB was found unacceptable in one or more end uses under
the SNAP program, use of the Garrett drilling fluid would be unaffected
by such a determination.

	Even though the Garrett drilling fluid, as described, would not be
regulated by any use restrictions under the SNAP Program, we encourage
you to take steps to ensure that it is used safely.  However, that legal
prohibition only makes it illegal to use unacceptable substitutes within
specific end uses.  For an application outside the SNAP end uses such as
the Garrett drilling fluid, the prohibition would not be a legal
requirement.  Thus, even if nPB were not found acceptable under the SNAP
program, the Garrett drilling fluid still could be used.

	If you have further questions in this matter, please contact me at
(202) 343-9464 or Margaret Sheppard at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

							Sincerely,

							Karen Thundiyil

							Environmental Protection Specialist

1-800-741-8138<PHONE_NUMBER> in the Washington, DC area). A notice in
the Federal Register about last minute modifications that impact a
previously announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be
published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you
should always check the Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate
advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory committee
information line to learn about possible modifications before coming to
the meeting.
    Agenda: On June 1, 2015, the Transmissible Spongiform
Encephalopathies Advisory Committee will meet in open session to hear
update presentations on the following topics: (1) The variant
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) situation worldwide and an update on
the United Kingdom's Transfusion Medicine Epidemiological Review; (2)
vCJD in the United States; and, (3) the bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (BSE) situation worldwide and the United States
Department of Agriculture's regulatory approaches to reduce the risk of
food-borne exposure of BSE. Following the update presentations, in open
session, the committee will hear presentations from FDA on current
measures to reduce risk of vCJD from transfusion in the U.S., and a
mathematical model of the risk reduction achievable under the current
and alternative geographically based donor deferral policies when
implemented in conjunction with the use of leukocyte reduction of blood
components. The committee will then discuss FDA's geographically based
donor deferral policies and other strategies, including leukocyte
reduction of blood components, to reduce the risk of transfusion-
transmitted vCJD. FDA will seek advice from the committee in developing
future recommendations to reduce this risk.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
