Public Meeting

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notification of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing a
public meeting entitled ``FDA Food Safety Modernization Act:
Prevention-Oriented Import System Regulations and Implementation.'' The
public meeting will provide importers and other interested persons an
opportunity to discuss import safety regulations and programs,
including final rules for foreign supplier verification programs
(FSVPs) for importers of food for humans and animals (the FSVP final
rule) and accreditation of third-party certification bodies (the third-
party certification final rule). Participants will also be briefed on
the status of FDA's Voluntary Qualified Importer Program (VQIP), which
is still in development. Additionally, the public meeting will provide
importers and other interested persons an opportunity to discuss FDA's
comprehensive planning effort for the next phase of the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act implementation relating to import safety programs,
which includes establishing the operational framework for these
programs and plans for guidance documents, training, education, and
technical assistance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L.111-353),
signed into law by President Obama on January 4, 2011, enables FDA to
better protect public health by helping to ensure the safety and
security of the food supply. FSMA amends the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to establish the foundation of a
modernized, prevention-based food safety system. Among other things,
FSMA directs FDA to issue regulations requiring preventive controls for
human food and animal food, setting standards for produce safety, and
requiring importers to perform certain activities to help ensure that
the food they bring into the United States is produced in a manner
consistent with U.S. safety standards.
    In the Federal Register of November 27, 2015, we published the FSVP
final rule (80 FR 74225) and the third-party certification final rule
(80 FR 74569).
    The FSVP final rule requires importers of food to verify that their
foreign suppliers use processes and procedures that provide the same
level of public health protection as the preventive controls and
produce safety regulations, where applicable, and also to verify that
the food they import is not adulterated and is not misbranded with
respect to food allergen labeling.
    The third-party certification final rule adopts regulations to
provide for accreditation of third-party certification bodies to
conduct food safety audits of foreign entities, including registered
foreign food facilities, and to issue food and facility certifications
under FSMA. Certification will be required to establish VQIP
eligibility. To prevent potentially harmful food from reaching U.S.
consumers, in specific circumstances FDA also may require a food
offered for import to be accompanied by a certification.
    On June 5, 2015, we published a notice of availability of a draft
guidance for industry on VQIP for importers of human or animal food (80
FR 32136). The draft guidance describes and answers questions about
VQIP. To ensure that we consider comments on the draft guidance before
we complete a final version of the guidance, we invited electronic or
written comments on the draft guidance by August 19, 2015.
    The FSVP and third-party certification final rules and related fact
sheets are available on FDA's FSMA Web page located at http://www.fda.gov/FSMA.
    The FSVP and third-party certification final rules are two of
several final rules that will establish the foundation of, and central
framework for, the modern food safety system envisioned by Congress in
FSMA.

II. Purpose and Format of the Public Meeting

    FDA is holding the public meeting on FSMA's prevention-oriented
import system to brief participants on the key components of the FSVP
and third-party certification final rules; brief participants on the
status of the VQIP; discuss the plans for guidance documents related to
import safety, as well as training, education, and technical
assistance; provide an update on the development of a risk-based
industry oversight framework that are at the core of FSMA; and answer
questions about these import programs.
    The public meeting is an opportunity for FDA to share its current
thinking on implementation plans for programs related to import safety.
We encourage interested persons to provide feedback during the meeting
on any ideas that we present at the public meeting related to the
operational aspects of FSMA

implementation. The agenda and other documents will be accessible on
our FSMA Web site at http://www.fda.gov/FSMA before the public meeting.
    There will be an opportunity for stakeholders who are unable to
participate in person to join the meeting via Webcast. (See section III
for more information on the Webcast option.)
    Following the public meeting, FDA plans to continue dialogue on
implementation of these import safety programs with a series of
regional meetings across the United States.

III. How To Participate in the Public Meeting

    We are holding the public meeting on March 21, 2016, from 8:30 a.m.
until 5 p.m., at FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition,
Wiley Auditorium, 5100 Paint Branch Parkway, College Park, MD 20740.
Due to limited space and time, we encourage all persons who wish to
attend the meeting to register in advance. There is no fee to register
for the public meeting, and registration will be on a first-come,
first-served basis. Early registration is recommended because seating
is limited. Onsite registration will be accepted, as space permits,
after all preregistered attendees are seated.
    Those requesting an opportunity to make an oral presentation during
the time allotted for public comment at the meeting are asked to focus
their remarks on the implementation or operational aspects of the
import safety programs. To make such a presentation, please submit a
request and provide the specific topic or issue to be addressed. Due to
the anticipated high level of interest in presenting public comment and
the limited time available, we are allocating 3 minutes to each speaker
to make an oral presentation. Speakers will be limited to making oral
remarks; there will not be an opportunity to display materials such as
slide shows, videos, or other media during the meeting. If time
permits, individuals or organizations that did not register in advance
may be granted the opportunity to make an oral presentation. We would
like to maximize the number of individuals who make a presentation at
the meeting and will do our best to accommodate all persons who wish to
make a presentation or express their opinions at the meeting.
    We encourage persons and groups who have similar interests to
consolidate their information for presentation by a single
representative. After reviewing the presentation requests, we will
notify each participant before the meeting of the approximate time
their presentation is scheduled to begin, and remind them of the
presentation format (i.e., 3-minute oral presentation without visual
media).
    We encourage interested persons to provide feedback on any ideas
that we present at the public meeting related to the operational
aspects of FSMA implementation.

meeting.

April 15, 2008.
    Vision Power Systems, Inc. (Vision Power) filed an application for
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate schedule. The
proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the sale of energy,
capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. Vision Power
also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In
particular, Vision Power requested that the Commission grant blanket
approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and
assumptions of liability by Vision Power.
    On April 15, 2008, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market Development-West, granted the requests
for blanket approval under part 34 (Director's Order). The Director's

SUMMARY: Today, the EPA Region 4 (the ``Region'') is reissuing the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit
for the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) of the Gulf of Mexico (General
Permit No. GEG460000) for new and existing source discharges in the
Offshore Subcategory of the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source
Category. This reissued general permit replaces the previous permit
issued on March 15, 2010, and which became effective on April 1, 2010,
and expired on March 31, 2015. The general permit authorizes discharges
from exploration, development, and production facilities located in and
discharging to all Federal waters of the eastern portion of the Gulf of
Mexico seaward of the outer boundary of the territorial seas, and
covers existing and new source facilities with operations located on
Federal leases occurring in water depths seaward of 200 meters,
occurring offshore the coasts of Alabama and Florida. The western
boundary of the coverage area is demarcated by Mobile and Visoca Knoll
lease blocks located seaward of the outer boundary of the territorial
seas from the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama. The permit term will
be no longer than five years from the effective date of the permit.
Individual permits will be issued for operating facilities on lease
blocks traversed by and shoreward of the 200-meter water depth.
    The draft NPDES general permit was publicly noticed from August 18,
2016 to September 17, 2016. This final permit reflects changes based on
comments received during the public comments period, which are detailed
in the Amendment to the Fact Sheet.

DATES: This action is applicable as of January 20, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The final NPDES general permit, Amendment to the Permit fact
sheet, Finding of No Significant Impact document, Final Essential Fish
Habitat Determination, Final Ocean Discharge Criteria Evaluation, and
other relevant documents may be obtained by writing the U.S. EPA-Region
4, Water Protection Division (WPD), NPDES Section, Sam Nunn Atlanta

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authorization To Discharge Under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System

    In compliance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), operators of offshore oil and gas
facilities in lease blocks located in Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Federal water in the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico seaward of
the outer boundary of the territorial seas in water depths seaward of
200 meters, occurring offshore the coasts of Alabama and Florida and in
the western boundary of the coverage area demarcated by Mobile and
Visoca Knoll lease blocks located seaward of the outer boundary of the
territorial seas from the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, are
authorized to discharge to receiving waters in accordance with effluent
limitations, monitoring requirements, and other conditions set forth in
Parts I, II, III, IV and V, and appendices.
    Operators of facilities within the NPDES general permit coverage
area must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the Regional
Administrator, prior to discharge, that they intend to be covered by
the general permit (See Part I.A.4). The effective date of coverage
will be the postmarked date of the NOI, or if the postmarked date is
illegible, the effective date of coverage will be two days prior to the
receipt date of the NOI.
    Administratively continued coverages under the previous NPDES
general permit will cease for operators 30 days after the effective
date of the new permit. Therefore, such operators must submit a new NOI
to be covered under this general permit within 30 days after the
effective date of this permit. If a permit application for an
individual permit is filed, the coverage under the previous general
permit terminates when a final action is taken on the application for
an individual permit.
    This permit and the authorization to discharge shall expire
midnight, Eastern Standard Time, five years from the effective date.

    Dated: December 14, 2017.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C. 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES FEB 07 2005 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Review of materials submitted by Syngenta in support of proposed of Section G Experimental Use Permit ( EUP No: 67979 EUP X, DP# 310094) for Cry3A corn. Submission dated December 15, 2003 and revised February 4, 2005.

TO: Michael Mendelsohn Senior Regulatory Action Leader Microbial Pesticides Branch, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division ( 7511C)

FROM: Tessa Milofsky, M. S. Agronomist signed 2 7 05 Microbial Pesticides Branch, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division ( 7511C)

PEER REVIEW: Alan Reynolds, M. S. Entomologist signed 2 7 05 Microbial Pesticides Branch, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division ( 7511C)

CONCLUSION The requested EUP and corresponding acreage are ACCEPTABLE. It is recommended that the registrant's full request of 3,910 EUP acres should be granted.

RECOMMENDATIONS   The participant/ collaborator information is sufficient provided that collaborator names and contact information are submitted prior to experiment initiation.   Containment procedures described in the submission are adequate provided that a temporary tolerance exemption is approved prior to granting the EUP.

BACKGROUND Syngenta has submitted materials in support of their request for an Experimental Use Permit ( EUP), covering the period February 14, 2005 through February 2006, to allow field testing of corn rootworm protected mCry3A corn ( Event MIR604 derived corn plants). The product is said to protect field corn against western corn rootworm ( Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), northern corn rootworm ( D. longicornis barveri), southern corn rootworm ( D. undecimpunctata howardi), and Mexican corn rootworm ( D. virgifera zea). Planting proposed under the EUP will take place in 17 states and Puerto Rico, and will not exceed 3910 total acres. The submission was accompanied by a petition for a temporary exemption from tolerance and recommendations provided in this EUP review assume that this tolerance will be granted. It should also be noted that a different formulation of the Cry3A protein, used to control coleopteran pests in potato, has been granted a permanent exemption from food and feed tolerances.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW Participant/ Collaborator Information The names, telephone numbers, and mailing addresses of participants who will supervise experimental work covered under this EUP are listed under each protocol. Information on cooperators was not included, yet the registrant states that this listing will be provided prior to planting or initiation of the research trials.

BPPD Review The participant/ collaborator information is sufficient provided that collaborator names and contact information are submitted prior to experiment initiation.

Field Trial Containment Syngenta's proposed field trial containment program complies with the USDA APHIS Performance Standards for regulated corn trials. The USDA's guidelines are general, leaving room for registrants to develop containment programs that are appropriate for each management system.

BPPD Review Containment procedures described in the submission are adequate provided that a temporary tolerance exemption is approved prior to granting the EUP.

Acreage Calculation Total EUP acreage is equivalent to the sum of the acreage comprised in each EUP test block. This calculation would include all MIR604 corn plants ( includes stacked plants), non MIR604 corn plants ( e. g. breeding plants or isoline control plots), and associated border rows contained within the perimeter of the test block. The section also includes field plans that illustrate how blocks of EUP corn may be positioned in relation to non EUP corn fields, providing a visual representation of experimental block location.

BPPD Review This approach to EUP acreage calculation is acceptable.

Trial Protocols Trial protocols proposed for the period March 15, 2005 February, 2006 are described below. The submission included a comprehensive table ( Appendix A) which lists, on a state by state basis, the number of acres and locations dedicated to each protocol.

EUP Acreage1 Protocol Type MIR604 Acreage Non MIR604 Acreage Total EUP Acreage Breeding and observation 117 279 396 Efficacy field trials 94 1,320 1,414 Agronomic observation 26 284 310 Inbred and hybrid production 298 1,342 1,640 Regulatory field trials ( e. g. IRM and nontarget insect field trials, etc.) 40 110 150 Total 575 3,335 3,910 Protocol descriptions include information on the test sites ( states and number of locations per state), objective, experimental design, plot treatments, genotypes, estimated planting and harvest schedules for each trial, and containment procedures ( shipping, pollen flow, and post harvest). Details of these components may be found in the submission.

BPPD Review Acreage requests are acceptable.

1 EUP acreage is the sum of the acreage found within the perimeter of all associated experimental blocks. This includes MIR604 plants, non MIR604 plants, and border rows included within the blocks.

 For more information, contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS> No information on the form may be claimed confidential.

 Item 1 -- Name of facility: Enter the name of the facility and the name of the owner of the facility.

 Item 2 -- EPA identification number (if already assigned under RCRA): Enter the identification number the facility was assigned under the RCRA hazardous waste notification regulations. If no identification number has been assigned, leave this space blank. A notifier may use their RCRA Identification number prior to receipt of written verification from EPA once they have confirmed that EPA is in receipt of their PCB notification form. Confirmation of receipt of the form may be accomplished by submitting it through the U.S. mail -- return receipt requested, telephoning to confirm receipt of mail or facsimile, commercial overnight carrier's delivery verification processes, or any other manner in which the submitter can demonstrate in that the form was received by EPA Headquarters.

 Items 3 and 4 -- Facility mailing address and location: Complete Items III and IV. Please note that the address you give in Item IV, "Location of Facility," must be a physical address, not a post office box or route number. If the mailing address and physical location are the same, you may enter "Same" in Item IV. If the facility is a mobile incinerator, you may enter "mobile" in Item IV, and provide the mailing address for the installation contact in Item III.

 Item 5 -- Installation contact: Enter the name, title, email address and business telephone number of the person who should be contacted regarding information submitted on this form.

 Item 6 -- Type of PCB activity: Mark the appropriate box(es) to show which PCB activities are taking place at this facility.

 Generator with on-site storage facility: You are a generator with an on-site storage facility under this notification requirement if you are a user, owner, or processor of PCBs or PCB items and you maintain your own storage facilities subject to 40 CFR 761.65(b) or (c)(7) for PCBs. If you are a generator with an on-site storage facility, mark an "X" in this box.

 Commercial Storer: You are a commercial storer if you own or operate a storage facility which is subject to the storage facility standards of 40 CFR 761.65(b) or (c)(7), and which engages in off-site storage activities involving the PCB wastes generated by others. Most commercial storers of PCB waste perform waste storage services in exchange for a fee or other compensation, but the receipt of compensation is not necessary for your storage facility to qualify as a commercial storer of PCB wastes generated by others. See definition of commercial storer in 40 CFR 761.3. If you are a commercial storer, mark an "X" in this box.

        Transporter: If you move PCBs by air, rail, highway, or water, then mark an "X" in this box.

 R&D/Treatability: If you are engaged in conducting R&D into PCB disposal technologies and cannot accept waste on a commercial scale, mark an "X" in this box. You should also check this box if you conduct treatability studies even though you may have marked the "Approved Disposer" box.

 Approved Disposer: If you currently hold a valid EPA permit to dispose of PCBs in concentrations exceeding 50 ppm in a landfill, through alternative technology or incineration, mark an "X" in this box.

 Scrap Metal Recovery Oven/Smelter, High Efficiency Boilers: If you operate a device to dispose of PCBs, or if you dispose of PCBs in compliance with Section 761.71 (i.e., high efficiency boilers) or Section 761.72 (i.e., scrap metal recovery oven/smelter), mark an "X" in this box.

 Item 7 -- Certification: This certification must be signed by the owner, operator, or an authorized representative of the facility. An "authorized representative" is a person responsible for the overall operation of the facility (i.e., a plant manager or superintendent, or a person of equal responsibility). All notifications must include this certification to be complete.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:

    Rule 203A-2(e), SEC File No. 270-501, OMB Control No. 3235-0559.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension and approval of
the previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 203A-2(e),\1\ which is entitled ``Internet Investment
Advisers,'' exempts from the prohibition on Commission registration an
Internet investment adviser who provides investment advice to all of
its clients exclusively through computer software-based models or
applications termed under the rule as ``interactive Web sites.'' \2\
These advisers generally would not meet the statutory thresholds
currently set out in section 203A of the Advisers Act \3\--they do not
manage $25 million or more in assets and do not advise registered
investment companies, or they manage between $25 million and $100
million in assets, do not advise registered investment companies or
business development companies, and are required to be registered as
investment advisers with the states in which they maintain their
principal offices and places of business and are subject to examination
as an adviser by such states.\4\ Eligibility under rule 203A-2(e) is
conditioned on an adviser maintaining in an easily accessible place,
for a period of not less than five years from the filing of Form
ADV,\5\ a record demonstrating that the adviser's advisory business has
been conducted through an interactive Web site in accordance with the
rule.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 17 CFR 275.203A-2(e).
    \2\ Included in rule 203A-2(e) is a limited exception to the
interactive Web site requirement which allows these advisers to
provide investment advice to fewer than 15 clients through other
means on an annual basis. 17 CFR 275.203A-2(e)(1)(i). The rule also
precludes advisers in a control relationship with an SEC-registered
Internet adviser from registering with the Commission under the
common control exemption provided by rule 203A-2(b) (17 CFR
275.203A-2(b)). 17 CFR 275.203A-2(e)(1)(iii).
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 80b-3a(a).
    \4\ Id.
    \5\ The five-year record retention period is a similar
recordkeeping retention period as imposed on all advisers under rule
204-2 of the Advisers Act. See rule 204-2 (17 CFR 275.204-2).
    \6\ 17 CFR 275.203A-2(e)(1)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This record maintenance requirement is a ``collection of
information'' for PRA purposes. The Commission believes that
approximately 144 advisers are registered with the Commission under
rule 203A-2(e), which involves a recordkeeping requirement of
approximately four burden hours per year per adviser and results in an
estimated 576 of total burden hours (4 x 144) for all advisers.
    This collection of information is mandatory, as it is used by
Commission staff in its examination and oversight program in order to
determine continued Commission registration eligibility of advisers
registered under this rule. Responses generally are kept confidential
pursuant to section 210(b) of the Advisers Act.\7\ An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control
number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 80b-10(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30
days of this notice.

Assistant Secretary.
