SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background on Patient-Focused Drug Development

    FDA has selected functional GI disorders as the focus of a public
meeting under Patient-Focused Drug Development, an initiative that
involves obtaining a better understanding of patient perspectives on
the severity of a disease and the available therapies for that
condition. Patient-Focused Drug Development is being conducted to
fulfill FDA performance commitments that are part of the
reauthorization of the PDUFA under Title I of the Food and Drug
Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) (Pub. L. 112-144).
The full set of performance commitments is available at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/forindustry/userfees/prescriptiondruguserfee/ucm270412.pdf.
    FDA committed to obtain the patient perspective on 20 disease areas
during the course of PDUFA V. For each disease area, the Agency will
conduct a public meeting to discuss the disease and its impact on
patients' daily lives, the types of treatment benefit that matter most
to patients, and patients' perspectives on the adequacy of the
available therapies. These meetings will include participation of FDA
review divisions, the relevant patient communities, and other
interested stakeholders.
    On April 11, 2013, FDA published a document in the Federal Register
(78 FR 21613) announcing the disease areas for meetings in fiscal years
(FYs) 2013-2015, the first 3 years of the 5-year PDUFA V timeframe. The
Agency used several criteria outlined in that document to develop the
list of disease areas. FDA obtained public comment on the Agency's
proposed criteria and potential disease areas through a public docket
and a public meeting that was convened on October 25, 2012. In
selecting the set of disease areas, FDA carefully considered the public
comments received and the perspectives of review divisions at FDA. FDA
has initiated a second public process for determining the disease areas
for FY 2016-2017. More information, including the list of disease areas
and a general schedule of meetings, is posted at http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/UserFees/PrescriptionDrugUserFee/ucm326192.htm.

II. Public Meeting Information

A. Purpose and Scope of the Meeting

    The purpose of this Patient-Focused Drug Development meeting is to
obtain input on the symptoms and other impacts of functional GI
disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastroparesis, chronic
persistent symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux despite standard
therapeutic interventions, and chronic idiopathic constipation, that
matter most to patients, as well as perspectives on current approaches
to treating these conditions. Functional GI disorders are common
disorders that are characterized by persistent and recurring GI
symptoms and occur as a result of abnormal functioning of the GI tract.
These disorders are not caused by structural abnormalities, thus
routine medical tests may be normal, and diagnosis is based primarily
on symptoms. Functional GI disorders can affect any part of the GI
tract, including the esophagus, bile duct, and intestines. Treatment
for functional GI disorders focuses on management of different symptoms
over a period of time. Treatments may include dietary management as
well as over-the-counter and prescription medications (e.g.,
antispasmodics, pro-motility agents, antidiarrheals, and
antidepressants). In addition, psychological treatments, such as
relaxation therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy, may help manage the
symptoms of functional GI disorders.
    The questions that will be asked of patients and patient
stakeholders at the meeting are listed in this section, organized by
topic. For each topic, a brief initial patient panel discussion will
begin the dialogue. This will be followed by a facilitated discussion
inviting comments from other patient and patient stakeholder
participants. In

addition to input generated through this public meeting, FDA is
interested in receiving patient input addressing these questions
through written comments, which can be submitted to the public docket
(see ADDRESSES).
Topic 1: Disease Symptoms and Daily Impacts That Matter Most to
Patients
     Have you received a diagnosis of a functional GI disorder
from a health care provider? If so, please state the condition.
     Of all the symptoms that you experience because of your
condition, which one to three symptoms have the most significant impact
on your life? (Examples may include pain, bloating, constipation,
vomiting)
     Are there specific activities that are important to you
but that you cannot do at all or as fully as you would like because of
your condition? (Examples of activities may include sleeping through
the night, daily hygiene)
    [cir] How do your symptoms and their negative impacts affect your
daily life on the best days? On the worst days?
     How has your condition and its symptoms changed over time?
    [cir] Do your symptoms come and go or are they ongoing? If so, do
you know of anything that worsens your symptoms?
     What worries you most about your condition?
Topic 2: Patients' Perspectives on Current Approaches To Treating
Functional GI Disorders
     What are you currently doing to help treat your condition
or its symptoms? (Examples may include prescription medicines, over-
the-counter products, and other therapies including nondrug therapies
such as diet modification.)
    [cir] What specific symptoms do your treatments address?
    [cir] How has your treatment regimen changed over time, and why?
     How well does your current treatment regimen treat the
most significant symptoms of your disease?
    [cir] How well do these treatments stop or slow the progression of
your condition?
    [cir] How well do these therapies improve your ability to do
specific activities that are important to you in your daily life?
    [cir] How well have these treatments worked for you as your
condition has changed over time?
     What are the most significant downsides to your current
treatments, and how do they affect your daily life? (Examples of
downsides may include bothersome side effects, going to the hospital
for treatment, restrictions on driving, etc.)
     Assuming there is no complete cure for your condition,
what specific things would you look for in an ideal treatment for your
condition?

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2013-0585; FRL-9903-14-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of
Missouri; Restriction of Emission of Sulfur Compounds and Emissions
Banking and Trading

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving two revisions to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) for Missouri that were submitted on September 5, 2012. The
revision to the Missouri rule ``Restriction of Emission of Sulfur
Compounds'' removes redundant sulfur dioxide standards and outdated
compliance dates. Due to these revisions, several within-rule
references are amended. Revisions to the Missouri rule ``Emissions
Banking and Trading'' removes all definitions, as they are now included
in the general definitions rule. The reference to the state's Ambient
Air Quality Standards rule that is included in the definition of
National Ambient Air Quality Standards is also removed. The revisions
to Missouri's rules do not have an adverse affect on air quality. EPA's
approval of this SIP revision is being done in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective January 21, 2014,
without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by December
23, 2013. If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing
the public that the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2013-0585, by one of the following methods:
    1. www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
    2. Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    3. Mail or Hand Delivery: Amy Bhesania, Environmental Protection

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R07-OAR-
2013-0585. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be

made available online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit through
www.regulations.gov or email information that you consider to be CBI or
otherwise protected. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' or
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
III. What action is EPA taking?

I. What is being addressed in this document?

    EPA is approving two revisions to the Missouri SIP submitted to EPA
on September 5, 2012. The revision to Missouri rule 10 CSR 10-6.260,
``Restriction of Emission of Sulfur Compounds'' removes redundant
sulfur dioxide standards and outdated compliance dates. Due to these
revisions, several within-rule references are amended. Revisions to
Missouri rule 10 CSR 10-6.410, ``Emissions Banking and Trading''
removes all definitions, as they are now included in the general
definitions rule. The reference to the State's Ambient Air Quality
Standards rule that was included in the definition of National Ambient
Air Quality Standards is also removed.
    EPA has conducted an analysis of the State's amendments and has
concluded that these revisions do not adversely affect the stringency
of the SIP or adversely impact air emissions.

II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The state submission has met the public notice requirements of 40
CFR 51.102 for SIP submissions. The submission also satisfied the
completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. In addition, the
revision meets the substantive SIP requirements of the CAA, including
section 110 and implementing regulations.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving two revisions to the Missouri SIP. The first
revision will amend 10 CSR 10-6.260 ``Restriction of Emission of Sulfur
Compounds,'' and will remove redundant sulfur dioxide standards and
outdated compliance dates. The state is removing the reference to 10
CSR 10-6.010, which refers to the Ambient Air Quality Standards. The
section is redundant in that sources have to comply with this
requirement through other SIP approved permitting programs and rules,
and it is burdensome and costly to update this reference each time the
rule is revised. Several within-rule references are amended to
accommodate the revisions.
    The second revision amends 10 CSR 10-6.410 ``Emissions Banking and
Trading'' by removing definitions, as they are now included in the
general definitions rule. In addition to removing the definition of
National Ambient Air Quality Standards, a reference to the State's
Ambient Air Quality Standards rule will also be removed.
    EPA has determined that these changes will not relax the SIP or
adversely impact air emissions. For more information about these
changes, see the Technical Support Document which is available in the
public docket for this rulemaking.
    We are processing this action as a direct final action because the
revisions do not adversely impact air emissions, and we do not
anticipate any adverse comments. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because

application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA;
and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 21, 2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53467; File No. 81-935]

Notice of an Application of Peoples Financial Corporation Under
Section 12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

March 10, 2006.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission gives notice that Peoples
Financial Corporation has filed an application under Section 12(h) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for certain relief.
Peoples states that its principal executive offices are located in
Biloxi, Mississippi, which is within one of the Presidentially Declared
Disaster Areas where Individual Assistance has been authorized by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as a result of Hurricane Katrina,
and that its sixteen branch facilities are also located in the Disaster
Areas. In its application, Peoples asserts that the relief is necessary
due to, among other things, the extraordinary impact of Hurricane
Katrina on Peoples's facilities, personnel, customers, and independent
public accountant. For example, the application indicates that: (1)
Peoples, which is a bank holding company, lost six of the sixteen
branch locations of its bank subsidiary, The Peoples Bank; (2) more
than twenty percent of its employees lost their homes, another twenty-
five percent had serious damage to their homes and several of Peoples's
branches served as temporary housing for employees; and (3) company
personnel have had to focus on on-going post-Katrina recovery issues
such as evaluation of the loan portfolio and recovery and
decontamination of items from vaults and safe deposit boxes. Further,
the application states that: (1) The Biloxi, Mississippi office of
Peoples's independent public accountants, which housed all of their
hard copy records and computer files, was destroyed and more than
twenty-five percent of their professional and support staff have
relocated out of the area; and (2) Peoples was the only client of its
independent public accountants that is subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly,
Peoples asks the Commission to order that Peoples be required to first
include the disclosures specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 308
of Regulation S-K and first comply with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c) for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
    For a detailed statement of the information presented, all persons
are referred to Peoples's application, which is on file in the
Commission's Public Reference Room, Station Place, 100 F Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20549.
    The Commission also gives notice that any interested person may,
not later than March 30, 2006, submit to the Commission in writing its
views on any substantial facts bearing on the application or the
desirability of a hearing thereon.
    Any such communication or a request that the Commission hold a
hearing on this matter may be submitted by any of the following
methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-567, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Annual Reports of
System Flow Diagrams and System Capacity.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0005.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-567 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: The Commission uses the information from the FERC-567 to
obtain accurate data on pipeline facilities and the peak capacity of
these facilities. Additionally, the Commission validates the need for
new facilities proposed by pipelines in certificate applications. By
modeling an applicant's pipeline system, Commission staff utilizes the
FERC-567 data to determine configuration and location of installed
pipeline facilities; verify and determine the receipt and delivery
points between shippers, producers and pipeline companies; determine
the location of receipt and delivery points and emergency
interconnections on a pipeline system; determine the location of
pipeline segments, laterals and compressor stations on a pipeline
system; verify pipeline segment lengths and pipeline diameters; justify
the maximum allowable operating pressures and suction and discharge
pressures at compressor stations; verify the installed horsepower and
volumes compressed at each compressor station; determine the existing
shippers and producers currently using each pipeline company; verify
peak capacity on the system; and develop and evaluate alternatives to
the proposed facilities as a means to mitigate environmental impact of
new pipeline construction.
    18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 260.8(a) requires each major
natural gas pipeline with a system delivery capacity exceeding 100,000
Mcf per day to submit by June 1 of each year, diagrams reflecting
operating conditions on the pipeline's main transmission system during
the previous 12 months ended December 31. 18 CFR 284.13 requires each
interstate pipeline that provides transportation subject to the
provisions of Subparts B and G of Part 284 to make an annual filing by
March 1 of each year showing the estimated peak day capacity of the
pipeline's system. These physical/engineering data are not included as
part of any other data collection requirement.
    Type of Respondents: Natural gas pipelines.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1201; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-007-AD;
Amendment 39-15922; AD 2009-11-12]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), which applies to certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. That
AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin to
detect corrosion or fatigue cracking around and under the chafing
plates of the wing root; repetitive inspections for fatigue cracking of
frame 39, stringer 35; and corrective actions if necessary. The
existing AD also provides for an optional terminating action for
certain repetitive inspections, except for certain areas where
corrosion was detected and reworked. This new AD reduces the intervals
for accomplishing repetitive inspections in a certain area. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information originated
by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an
unsafe condition on an aviation product. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct fatigue cracks and corrosion around and under the
chafing plates of the wing root, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 25, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of August 25,
2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register previously approved the
incorporation by reference of Airbus Service Bulletin A310-53-2070,
dated October 3, 1994, on June 3, 1998 (63 FR 23377, April 29, 1998).

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2004-14-06, amendment
39-13715 (69 FR 41401, July 9, 2004). The existing AD applies to
certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on November 13, 2008 (73 FR 67110). That NPRM
proposed to continue to require repetitive inspections of the fuselage
skin to detect corrosion or fatigue cracking around and under the
chafing plates of the wing root; repetitive inspections for fatigue
cracking of frame 39, stringer 35; and corrective actions if necessary.
That NPRM also proposed to continue to provide for an optional
terminating action for certain repetitive inspections, except for
certain areas where corrosion was detected and reworked. In addition,
that NPRM proposed to reduce the intervals for accomplishing the
repetitive inspections in a certain area.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment that has been
received on the NPRM. FedEx supports the NPRM.

Revisions to Paragraphs (f), (h), (i), and (j) of This AD

    We have revised paragraph (h) of this AD to give credit for actions
done in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A310-53-2070, Revision
1, dated September 23, 1996. We also added Airbus Service Bulletin
A310-53-2069, Revision 06, dated May 22, 2007, as an acceptable source
of service information for compliance with the requirements of
paragraphs (f) and (i) of this AD. We have also revised paragraph (j)
of this AD to include a new Table 1 to specify the number, revision,
and date of each service bulletin for which no reporting is required.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    This AD affects about 69 Model A310 series airplanes of U.S.
registry. The actions that are required by AD 2004-14-06 and retained
in this AD take about 68 work hours per airplane, at an average labor
rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the currently required actions is $375,360, or $5,440 per airplane,
per inspection cycle.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under

Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
