Listed below is further information about methods used by the U.S.
Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks as well as Natural Gas
STAR presentations and documents that cite inventory information.

Question:  Can you elaborate on the reference for methane emissions pie
charts used in Natural Gas STAR Presentations?

Response:  Consult the Energy section (Section 3) and Sections 3.4 and
3.5 of the Annexes in the 2007 U.S. Inventory found at   HYPERLINK
"http://epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/usgginv_archive.html"
epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/usgginv_archive.html .  The individual
source categories and their methane emissions begin on page A-143 for
natural gas and page A-151 for petroleum in Annex 3.  The Annex more
thoroughly covers the methodology used to arrive at the results in
Section 3.

Question:  Why are REC reductions greater than the entire inventory
number for well completions?

Response:  Presently, REC reductions reported in the Natural Gas STAR
body of work is larger than well completion venting in the inventory on
an annual basis.  Section 3 of the inventory discusses improvements and
future plans for each sector.  For the natural gas industry, the planned
improvements are discussed on pg. 3-46.  For the petroleum industry, the
planned improvements are discussed on pg. 3-51.

In a New York Times article published on October 15, 2009, it is
mentioned that the EPA is currently reviewing and revising methane
emissions from U.S. gas wells.  As a result, the EPA found that the
amount emitted by routine operations at gas wells is approximately 12
times larger than the existing estimate of 9 Bcf.  The NYT article can
be found here at   HYPERLINK
"http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/15/business/energy-environment/15degrees
.html#"
www.nytimes.com/2009/10/15/business/energy-environment/15degrees.html# .

EPA has included these revised emission numbers in the upcoming
Mandatory Reporting Rule (MRR).  Specifically, these new numbers are in
the Technical Support Document (TSD), explained in Appendix B (pgs.
79-85).  On page 82, the new 2007 U.S. emissions from well completion
and workover venting is approximately 120 Bcf.  The TSD can be found
here at   HYPERLINK
"http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/downloads10/Subpart-W_TSD-02
2310.pdf"
www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/downloads10/Subpart-W_TSD-022310.pdf
.

Question: Why are Natural Gas STAR methane emissions reductions
accounted for entirely in the natural gas systems sector of the
inventory and not at all in the petroleum systems sector?

Response:  The methodology in Annex 3 of the inventory indicates how
Natural Gas STAR reductions are applied to the natural gas systems
sector.

Natural Gas STAR considers data at the level of the production sector,
rather than further dividing its reporting into natural gas and
petroleum.  At the same time, the inventory considers data at the level
of natural gas systems production & petroleum systems production.  Often
a Natural Gas STAR reduction activity straddles both natural gas systems
and petroleum systems and is therefore inherently an overall production
sector activity.  The Natural Gas STAR production sector reductions are
not further deconstructed and are thus applied to natural gas systems
production sector.  For example, vapor recovery units (VRUs) can be
installed on both condensate (gas) and storage (oil) tanks, but it is
not a Natural Gas STAR reporting requirement to specify which.

Question:  How can natural gas and petroleum systems methane emissions
be expressed as a percentage of total gas throughput entering and
exiting the national supply chain?

Response:  This percentage is not a published statistic but can be
roughly calculated from public sources such as the inventory and such as
EIA gas production data.  It is also important to understand numerical
treatment of gas imports and exports, NGL imports and exports, gas
reinjected, gas consumed on site, gas unaccounted for due to intrinsic
metering errors, and distinguishing between methane versus natural gas
data, which all have first order effects on the resulting percentage.
Any result using this calculation method would not apply to any specific
site given the top-down nature of the calculation.

To estimate the percentage of gas lost from both the oil and gas
industry, two public sources are used: 1) information from the Energy
Information Administration (EIA) and 2) the Technical Support Document
(TSD) for the MRR.  The equation shown below illustrates how the
percentage can be calculated.

Where:

%gaslost	=	Estimated percentage lost from produced gas due to methane
emissions

ETotal,2006  =		2006 revised methane emissions for petroleum and gas,
all sectors (with reductions), from TSD which includes revised
estimation methods for well completion emissions

WGross,2006  =	EIA 2006 gross gas withdrawals

EProduction,2006  =	2006 revised methane emissions for petroleum and gas
production (with reductions) from TSD which includes revised estimation
methods for well completion emissions

The term EProduction,2006 in the denominator of the above equation was
included because the gross withdrawals, WGross,2006 does not account for
the original amount of gas produced from a given well.  This is because
WGross,2006 is based on meter readings which typically occur as the gas
exits the production site, after it has encountered all production
equipment that contribute to method emissions.  Therefore, the emissions
from the production sector must be added back in to truly have the
entire amount of gas withdrawn from wells.

Both revised TSD terms in the equation include Natural Gas STAR
reductions and were calculated from consulting page 9 of the TSD and
subtracting out the 2006 reductions listed in Table A-123 on page A-151
of the 2008 U.S. Inventory Annex 3.  A summary table is shown below and
gives the value of each equation term along with the calculated
percentage of gas lost in the petroleum and gas industry due to methane
emissions.

Question:  Are changes/updates to the national inventory tracked every
year?  Why would previous year results change?

Response:  Yes, for each annual inventory cycle, the entire time series
is considered and updated.  The entire time series of 1990 to the
present reporting year is updated annually because revised activity data
is applied as it is available.  It is not uncommon for EIA or other data
sources to issue revised estimates for years in the recent past, and
such revisions are tracked by the inventory.  Any changes in the data
sources used are be noted in the executive summary and introduction
sections of the inventory.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2021-N-0304]

Brian Michael Parks: Final Debarment Order

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an order
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) debarring
Brian Michael Parks for a period of 5 years from importing or offering
for import any article of food (including dietary supplements) or drug
into the United States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr.
Parks was convicted of one felony count under Federal law for
distribution of an unapproved new drug with the intent to defraud and
mislead. The factual basis supporting Mr. Parks' conviction, as
described below, is conduct relating to the importation into the United
States of any food and of any drug or controlled substance. Mr. Parks
was given notice of the proposed debarment and was given an opportunity
to request a hearing to show why he should not be debarred. As of
November 17, 2021 (30 days after receipt of the notice), Mr. Parks had
not responded. Mr. Parks' failure to respond and request a hearing
constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this matter.

DATES: This order is applicable February 14, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit applications for termination of debarment to the
Dockets Management Staff, Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers
Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or at https://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jaime Espinosa, Division of
Enforcement (ELEM-4029), Office of Strategic Planning and Operational
Policy, Office of Regulatory Affairs, Food and Drug Administration,
12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 306(b)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 335a(b)(1)(C))
permits FDA to debar an individual from importing an article of food or
offering such an article for import into the United States if FDA
finds, as required by section 306(b)(3)(A) of the FD&C Act, that the
individual has been convicted of a felony for conduct relating to the
importation into the United States of any food. Section 306(b)(1)(D) of
the FD&C Act permits debarment of an individual from importing or
offering for import any drug into the United States if the FDA finds,
as required by section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act that the individual
has been convicted of a felony for conduct relating to the importation
into the United States of any drug or controlled substance.
    On February 16, 2021, Mr. Parks was convicted, as defined in
section 306(l)(1) of the FD&C Act in the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Virginia, after his plea of guilty, when the court
entered judgment against him for the offense of distribution of an
unapproved new drug with the intent to defraud and mislead, in
violation of sections 301(d) and 303(a)(2) of the FD&C Act 21 U.S.C.
331(d) and 333(a)(2). The FDA's finding that debarment is appropriate
is based on the felony conviction referenced herein. The factual basis
for this conviction is as follows:
    As contained in the information in Mr. Parks' case, filed on
November 23, 2020, he was the owner and operator of MedFitRX Inc.,
later known as MedFit Sarmacuticals Inc. (collectively referred to as
MedFitRX herein), a purported sport supplement company based in North
Carolina. MedFitRX imported Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
(SARMs) in order to use them in MedFitRx products. SARMs are synthetic
chemicals designed to mimic the effects of testosterone and other
anabolic steroids. From approximately March 2016 to September 2019, Mr.
Parks imported SARMs and other drug active ingredients from China on
multiple occasions. The drug active ingredients he imported included
MK-677, S-4, MK-2866, GW-501516, LGD-4033, and RAD140, among others. In
addition, on or about May 17, 2018, Mr. Parks sold two MedFitRX
products to undercover FDA Office of Criminal Investigation agents
posing as consumers. The first product Mr. Parks sold to these
undercover agents, Lucky SARMS Magical AF, contained the drugs S-23 and
SR9009, which he had caused to be imported into the United States. The
second product, Estrovert,

contained the anabolic steroid Methyldienolone, a controlled substance
prohibited under the Designer Steroid Act, 21 U.S.C. 802(41), which Mr.
Parks also caused to be imported into the United States. Mr. Parks
worked with others to conceal the importation of these and other
unapproved drugs as they were disguised and misdeclared as articles of
food, specifically ``biscuit mix powder,'' ``corn powder,'' ``grain mix
powder,'' ``bread mix powder,'' and ``milk tea powder.'' Mr. Parks then
included these drug active ingredients in MedFitRX products, which were
unapproved drugs that he introduced and delivered for introduction into
interstate commerce. Mr. Parks knowingly marketed these MedFitRX
products as ``dietary supplements'' and ``sports supplements'' to
create the impression they were safe and legal to use, and otherwise
intentionally failed to include certain drug active ingredients on the
product labels.
    As a result of this conviction, FDA sent Mr. Parks, by certified
mail, on October 12, 2021, a notice proposing to debar him for a 5-year
period from importing or offering for import any article of food or
drug into the United States. The proposal was based on a finding under
section 306(b)(1)(C) and (b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act that Mr. Parks'
felony conviction of distribution of an unapproved new drug with the
intent to defraud and mislead constitutes conduct relating to the
importation into the United States of an article of food and any drug
or controlled substance because Mr. Parks illegally imported unapproved
drugs into the United States, working with others to disguise and
misdeclare them as articles of food, and then distributed those
unapproved drugs to consumers in the United States, marketing them as
``dietary supplements'' and ``sports supplements.'' In proposing a
debarment period, FDA weighed the considerations set forth in section
306(c)(3) of the FD&C Act that it considered applicable to Mr. Parks'
offense, and concluded that the felony offense warranted the imposition
of a 5-year period of debarment.
    The proposal informed Mr. Parks of the proposed debarment and
offered him an opportunity to request a hearing, providing him 30 days
from the date of receipt of the letter in which to file the request,
and advised him that failure to request a hearing constituted a waiver
of the opportunity for a hearing and of any contentions concerning this
action. Mr. Parks received the proposal and notice of opportunity for a
hearing on October 18, 2021. Mr. Parks failed to request a hearing
within the timeframe prescribed by regulation and has, therefore,
waived his opportunity for a hearing and waived any contentions
concerning his debarment (21 CFR part 12).

II. Findings and Order

    Therefore, the Assistant Commissioner, Office of Human and Animal
Food Operations, under section 306(b)(1)(C) and (b)(3)(C) of the FD&C
Act, under authority delegated to the Assistant Commissioner, finds
that Mr. Brian Michael Parks has been convicted of a felony under
Federal law for conduct relating to the importation into the United
States of an article of food and of a drug or controlled substance, and
that he is subject to a 5-year period of debarment.
    As a result of the foregoing finding, Mr. Parks is debarred for a
period of 5 years from importing or offering for import articles of
food or any drug or controlled substances into the United States,
applicable (see DATES). Pursuant to section 301(cc) of the FD&C Act,
the importing or offering for import into the United States of an
article of food or of any drug or controlled substance by, with the
assistance of, or at the direction of Mr. Parks is a prohibited act.
    Any application by Mr. Parks for termination of debarment under
section 306(d)(1) of the FD&C Act should be identified with Docket No.
FDA-2021-N-0304 and sent to the Dockets Management Staff (see
ADDRESSES). The public availability of information in these submissions
is governed by 21 CFR 10.20.
    Publicly available submissions will be placed in the docket and
will be viewable at https://www.regulations.gov or at the Dockets
Management Staff (see ADDRESSES) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
