14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1185; Airspace Docket No. 08-AGL-11]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Columbus, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Columbus, OH.
Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate Area
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at
Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus, OH. This action also
makes a minor change to the geographical coordinates of Bolton Field
Airport, Columbus, OH. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the
safety and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at
Rickenbacker International Airport.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, May 7, 2009. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 18, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Columbus,
OH, adding additional controlled airspace at Rickenbacker International
Airport, Columbus, OH. (73 FR 76985, Docket No. FAA-2008-1185).
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in that Order. With the
exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, this
rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace at Columbus, OH, adding additional
controlled airspace at Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus,
OH., and makes a minor change to the geographical coordinates of Bolton
Field Airport, Columbus, OH.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (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) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it adds additional controlled airspace at Rickenbacker International
Airport, Columbus, OH.

Re: Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0202

Dear Ms. Edwards:

On behalf of the potato growers represented by the National Potato
Council (NPC) I want to request that the Agency extend the comment
period on the Reregistration Eligibility Document for
Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB).  As you know PCNB is an important
product used by potato growers to control soil fungi impacting potatoes.
 The product is used on more than 135,000 acres national which is
roughly ten percent of total potato acres.

The NPC is working with growers in the areas where PCNB is used to
obtain further information on the use patterns and efficacy of PCNB and
its information on the applicability of the Agency’s assumptions and
findings on use patterns and the efficacy and costs of alternative
products.  NPC respectfully requests that the Agency extend the comment
period until December 2, 2006 to allow the opportunity to gather this
information.

Sincerely,

John Keeling

Executive Vice President and CEO

Amendment of Jet Routes and VOR Federal Airways; Northeastern
United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the descriptions of 14 Jet Routes and 9 VOR
Federal airways in the northeastern United States to reflect route
changes made in Canadian airspace as part of Canada's Windsor-Toronto-
Montreal airway project.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, September 20, 2012. The Director of
the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action
under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9
and publication of conforming amendments.

and ATC Procedures Group, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    NAV CANADA, which operates Canada's civil air navigation service,
is implementing various changes to Canada's instrument flight rules
(IFR) navigation infrastructure to enhance the efficiency of operations
by taking advantage of both performance based navigation and modern
avionics capabilities. The changes implemented by NAV CANADA affect
parts of the descriptions of certain U.S. Jet Routes and VOR Federal
airways that extend into Canadian airspace. As a result, editorial
changes are required to these descriptions so that they match the
changes made on the Canadian side of the border.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by updating the legal descriptions of U.S. Jet Routes J-46, J-
94, J-95, J-488, J-500, J-531, J-546, J-553, J-560, J-566, J-586, J-
588, J-594, and J-595; and VOR Federal airways V-31, V-91, V-98, V-104,
V-145, V-282, V-346, V-423 and V-522, that include segments extending
into Canadian airspace. These amendments are being made so the route
legal descriptions in FAA Order 7400.9, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, match changes made by NAV CANADA to the route
segments that lie within Canadian airspace and/or to reflect navigation
aid name changes and editorial corrections. The specific changes are
described below.
    In the description of J-560, the word ``Quebec'' is inserted before
``PQ, Canada'' to correct an unintended omission. The J-16 and J-94
route descriptions previously indicated that they stopped at the U.S./
Canadian border but actually they continue through London, ON to
Buffalo, NY and beyond. J-566 extends to the Montreal VOR/DME instead
of terminating at the border. J-95 terminates at a fix on the border
instead of the Toronto VOR/DME as stated in the current description.
This action reflects a large portion of J-500 within Canada that has
been eliminated. The Mans, ON, VOR/DME is added in the description of
J-531 to match the routing within Canada. The descriptions of J-448, J-
546, J-553, J-588, J-594 and J-595 are amended to indicate their
termination at the first fix within Canadian airspace. J-586's
description is amended to indicate its present routing within Canadian
airspace.
    A one-degree change is required to the Toronto VOR/DME radial
stated in the V-31 and V-522 descriptions. V-91 and V-282 no longer
extend to St. Eustache, Canada, but terminate at fixes about 2.5 miles
north of, and on, the United States/Canadian border, respectively. The
Sterling VOR/DME has been renamed Campbellford in the description of V-
98, and the St. Georges VOR/DME has been renamed Beauce in V-346. The
descriptions of V-104, and V-145 have been amended to terminate at the
first fix within Canadian airspace instead of extending to the Ottawa
VOR/DME as currently listed. The description of V-423 is adjusted to
reflect the routing within Canada to the HUXLY intersection instead of
terminating on the border as currently described.
    This is an administrative change to the legal descriptions of the
above listed Jet Routes and VOR Federal airways to incorporate route
segment changes made by NAV CANADA within Canadian airspace, and to
include navigation aid name changes and editorial corrections.
Therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (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) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004; and Domestic VOR
Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a), of FAA Order
7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet Routes and
Domestic Federal VOR airways listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 311a. This airspace action is an editorial change that is not
expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts,
and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Approval No. 2106-0035.
    Title: Foreign Air Carrier Application for Statement of
Authorization.
    Form No.: Form OST 4540.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Foreign Air Carriers.
    Number of Respondents: Approximately 100.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2.25 hours per application.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.
    Abstract: Applicants use Form OST 4540 to request statements of
authorization to conduct numerous types of operations authorized under
Title 14, CFR part 212. The form requires basic information regarding
the carrier(s) conducting the operation, the party filing the form, the
operations being conducted, the number of third- and fourth-freedom
flights conducted in the last twelve-month period, and certification of
reciprocity from the carrier's homeland government. DOT analysts will
use the information collected to determine if applications for fifth-
freedom operations meet the public interest requirements necessary to
authorize such applications.
    Burden Statement: We estimate that the industry-wide total hour
burden for this collection to be approximately 1,000 hours or
approximately 2.25 hours per application. Conservatively, we estimate
the compilation of background information will require 1.75 hours, and
the completion and submission of OST Form 4540 will require thirty (30)
minutes.
    Reporting the number of third- and fourth-freedom operations
conducted by an applicant carrier will require collection of flight
data, and detailed analysis to determine which flights conducted by the
carrier are third- and fourth-freedom. Applicants should be able to use
data collected for the Department's T-100 program to provide this
information (under this program, carriers are required periodically to
compile and report certain traffic data to the Department, as more
fully described in the Docket referenced in footnote 1 below). The
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) provide carriers with a
computer program that allows them to compile and monitor, among other
things, flight origin and destination data, to be used in making the
carriers' T-100 submissions.\1\ We estimated that carriers will require
1.25 hours per application \2\ to compile and analyze the data
necessary to disclose the number of third- and fourth-freedom flights
conducted within the twelve-month period preceding the filing of an
application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The rule-making associated with the T-100 program can be
found on the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) at http://
www.regulations.gov, in Docket DOT-OST-1998-4043. Information
regarding burden hours is on file in the Office of Aviation Analysis
(X-50).
    \2\ The Office of Aviation Analysis (X-50) estimated that small-
carriers would require 1 burden hour per report, and large carriers
would require 3 burden hours per report to analyze and report T-100
program data. Considering that the data required in this information
collection can be derived from data already collected, we have taken
an average of the estimated time required, and conservatively
shortened the time by 45 minutes because no new data entry will be
required.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Foreign carriers will also have to provide evidence that their
homeland government will afford reciprocity to U.S. carriers seeking
authority for the similar fifth-, sixth- and seventh-freedom
operations. Carriers may cite certifications submitted by carriers from
the same homeland if that homeland issued such certification within the
preceding six-month period. Approximately 100 carriers from roughly 30
distinct homelands use OST Form 4540 to apply for statements of
authorization annually. We estimate that one foreign carrier from any
given homeland will expend roughly 4 hours every six-months to obtain
certification from its homeland governments.\3\ We have apportioned 30
minutes to each application to account for the time required to obtain
certifications from homeland governments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Calculation: (4 burden hours per application) x (30 foreign
homelands) x (2 requests per year) = 240 annual burden hours.
Apportioning 240 annual burden hours equally among an average of 430
applications annually = approximately 30 burden minutes per
application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have no empirical data to indicate how much time is required for
a person to complete OST Form 4540; however, anecdotal evidence reveals
that respondents spend thirty (30) minutes or less completing the form
and brief justification. In some cases, respondents spend a limited
amount of time, less than ten (10) minutes, reviewing the form before
sending it via facsimile or e-mail to the Department. In the interest
of providing a conservative estimate so as to not understate the burden
hours, we estimate the hour burden for completing OST Form 4540 as
thirty (30) minutes.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the Office of the Secretary's performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the Office of
the Secretary to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the
collected information; and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's
clearance of this information collection.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record.

[Docket No. FDA-2022-P-1013]

Determination That CHANTIX (Varenicline Tartrate) Tablets, 0.5
Milligram and 1 Milligram, Has Not Been Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons
of Safety or Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has
determined that CHANTIX (varenicline tartrate) tablets, 0.5 milligram
(mg) and 1 mg, has not been withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety
or effectiveness to the extent that the drug can be manufactured or
formulated in a manner that satisfies any applicable acceptable intake
limit for nitrosamine impurities. This determination means that FDA
will not begin procedures to withdraw approval of abbreviated new drug
applications (ANDAs) that refer to this drug product, and it will allow
FDA to continue to approve ANDAs that refer to the product as long as
they meet relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Faranda, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6258, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-8767, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 505(j) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)) allows the submission of
an ANDA to market a generic version of a previously approved drug
product. To obtain approval, the ANDA applicant must show, among other
things, that the generic drug product: (1) has the same active
ingredient(s), dosage form, route of administration, strength,
conditions of use, and (with certain exceptions) labeling as the listed
drug, which is a version of the drug that was previously approved, and
(2) is bioequivalent to the listed drug. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    Section 505(j)(7) of the FD&C Act requires FDA to publish a list of
all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ``Approved
Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is
known generally as the ``Orange Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs
are removed from the list if the Agency withdraws or suspends approval
of the drug's NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness or if
FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons
of safety or effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug has been
withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This
determination may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn
from sale, but must be made prior to approval of an ANDA that refers to
the listed drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve
an ANDA that does not refer to a listed drug.
    CHANTIX (varenicline tartrate) tablets, 0.5 mg and 1 mg, is the
subject of NDA 021928, held by PF Prism CV (c/o Pfizer Inc.), and
initially approved on May 10, 2006. CHANTIX is indicated for use as an
aid to smoking cessation treatment.
    PF Prism CV has voluntarily discontinued marketing of CHANTIX
(varenicline tartrate) tablets, 0.5 mg and 1 mg. The levels of the N-
nitroso-varenicline (NNV) impurity in Chantix exceeded FDA's acceptable
intake limit.\1\ FDA's current understanding is

that the NNV impurity can be controlled within the acceptable intake
limit by sponsors of varenicline products within the context of their
particular applications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Nitrosamine impurities in the drug supply are an important
public health concern to which the Agency is dedicating significant
resources. As explained in FDA's Guidance for Industry, Control of
Nitrosamine Impurities in Human Drugs, ``Nitrosamine compounds are
potent genotoxic agents in several animal species and some are
classified as probable or possible human carcinogens by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). They are
referred to as ``cohort of concern'' compounds in the ICH guidance
for industry M7(R1) Assessment and Control of DNA Reactive
(Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals To Limit Potential
Carcinogenic Risk (March 2018).'' Many drug products have been found
to contain levels of nitrosamines that are unacceptable or require
further evaluation. FDA's current understanding is that nitrosamine
levels in affected drug products have different causes and may be
controlled using different strategies, including formulation design
(i.e., adding antioxidants or adding pH adjusters that modify the
microenvironment to base or neutral pH) and supplier qualification
programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CHANTIX (varenicline tartrate) tablets, 0.5 mg and 1 mg, is
currently listed in the ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of
the Orange Book.
    Medley Pharmaceuticals Ltd. submitted a citizen petition dated June
6, 2022 (Docket No. FDA-2022-P-1013), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting
that the Agency determine whether CHANTIX (varenicline tartrate)
tablets, 0.5 mg and 1 mg, were withdrawn from sale for reasons of
safety or effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined
under Sec.  314.161 that CHANTIX (varenicline tartrate) tablets, 0.5 mg
and 1 mg, has not been withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness
to the extent that the drug can be manufactured or formulated in a
manner that satisfies any applicable acceptable intake limit for
nitrosamine impurities.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list CHANTIX (varenicline
tartrate) tablets, 0.5 mg and 1 mg, in the ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' delineates, among other items, drug products that have been
discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or
effectiveness. FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw approval of
approved ANDAs that refer to this drug product. Additional ANDAs for
this drug product may be approved by the Agency as long as they meet
all other legal and regulatory requirements for the approval of ANDAs,
including satisfying any applicable acceptable intake limit for
nitrosamine impurities. If FDA determines that labeling for this drug
product should be revised to meet current standards, the Agency will
advise ANDA applicants to submit such labeling.

    Dated: February 22, 2023.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2020-0027-N-14]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks approval of the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before submitting this ICR
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval, FRA is
soliciting public comment on specific aspects of the activities
identified in the ICR.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
September 14, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments and recommendations for the proposed ICR to
Ms. Hodan Wells, Information Collection Clearance Officer, at email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>. Please refer to the
assigned OMB control number in any correspondence submitted. FRA will
summarize comments received in response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its information collection submission to OMB
for approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days' notice to the public to allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB approval of the activities.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 1320.12. Specifically,
FRA invites interested parties to comment on the following ICR
regarding: (1) Whether the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether
the activities will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's
estimates of the burden of the information collection activities,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for FRA to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (4) ways
for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on
the public, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
    FRA believes that soliciting public comment may reduce the
administrative and paperwork burdens associated with the collection of
information that Federal regulations mandate. In summary, FRA reasons
that comments received will advance three objectives: (1) Reduce
reporting burdens; (2) organize information collection requirements in
a ``user-friendly'' format to improve the use of such information; and
(3) accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
    The summary below describes the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
    Title: Railroad Safety Appliance Standards.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0594.
    Abstract: The information collection associated with 49 CFR part
231 is used by FRA to promote and enhance the safe placement and
securement of safety appliances on modern rail equipment by
establishing a process for the review and approval of existing industry
standards. In 2011, FRA amended the regulations related to safety
appliance arrangements by permitting railroad industry representatives
to submit requests for the approval of existing industry standards
relating to the safety appliance arrangements on newly constructed
railroad cars, locomotives, tenders, or other rail vehicles in lieu of
the specific provisions contained in part 231.
