SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mass reduction while holding a vehicle's
footprint (size) constant is a potential strategy for meeting
footprint-based CAFE and GHG standards. An important corollary issue is
the possible effect of mass reduction that maintains footprint on fatal
crashes. One way to estimate these effects is statistical analyses of
societal fatality rates per VMT, by vehicles' mass and footprint, for
the current on-road vehicle fleet. Societal fatality rates include
occupants of all vehicles in the crash as well as pedestrians. The
analyses comprised MY 2000-2007 cars and LTVs in CY 2002-2008 crashes.
Fatality rates were derived from FARS data, 13 State crash files, and
registration and mileage data from R.L. Polk. The table presents the
estimated percent increase in societal fatality rates per 100-pound
mass reduction while holding footprint constant for five classes of
vehicles:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                Fatality increase
                                (%) per 100-pound
                                  mass reduction
                                  while holding
   MY 2000-2007 CY 2002-2008        footprint      95% confidence bounds
                                     constant
                               -------------------
                                  Point estimate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cars < 3,106 pounds...........               1.56  + .39 to +2.73
Cars >= 3,106 pounds..........                .51  - .59 to +1.60
CUVs and minivans.............              - .37  -1.55 to + .81
Truck-based LTVs < 4,594                      .52  - .45 to +1.48
 pounds.
Truck-based LTVs >= 4,594                   - .34  - .97 to + .30
 pounds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Only the 1.56 percent risk increase in the lighter cars is
statistically significant. There are non-significant increases in the
heavier cars and the lighter truck-based LTVs and non-significant
societal benefits for mass reduction in CUVs, minivans, and the heavier
truck-based LTVs. Based on these results, potential combinations of
mass reductions that maintain footprint and are proportionately
somewhat higher for the heavier vehicles may be safety-neutral or
better as point estimates and, in any case, unlikely to significantly
increase fatalities. The primarily non-significant results are not due
to a paucity of data, but because the societal effect of mass reduction
while maintaining footprint, if any, is small.
    This report is also available in two NHTSA dockets--NHTSA-2010-
0152-0040 and NHTSA-2010-0131-0336--as well as at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811665.pdf. This final report updates and
supersedes a preliminary report issued in November 2011 (76 FR 73008,
report available at NHTSA-2010-0152-0023), in response to public
comments and to three researchers' peer-reviews of the preliminary

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0857; Special Conditions No. 25-528-SC]

Special Conditions: Learjet Inc., Model LJ-200-1A10 Airplane;
Crashworthiness, Emergency Landing Conditions

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions.

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

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Learjet Inc. Model
LJ-200-1A10 airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design
feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the
airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This feature
is a hybrid construction that uses both composite and metallic
materials in the structure for which the crashworthiness responses for
occupant safety may not be equivalent to current all-metallic
airplanes. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain
adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These
special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: Effective Date: March 10, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 9, 2009, Learjet Inc. applied for a type certificate
for their new Model LJ-200-1A10 airplane (hereafter referred to as the
``Model LJ-200''). The Model LJ-200 is a business class airplane
powered by two high-bypass turbine engines with an estimated maximum
takeoff weight of 35,550 pounds and an interior configuration for up to
10 passengers.
    The current design includes a skin-stringer fuselage configuration.
The pressure fuselage will consist of monolithic carbon fiber
reinforced plastic (CFRP) skin, with CFRP and metallic frames above
floor level, and CFRP longerons and stringers. All substructure will be
mechanically fastened to the skin. Fasteners for stringers aligned
along the length of the co-cured splice will provide fail-safe
capability for the splice. Cabin entry door frames, over-wing exit door
frames, and frames below floor level will be metallic. Attachment of
pressure bulkheads, windshield frame, and splicing concepts will be
adjusted for any skin thickness variation that occurs. The wing
consists of resin transfer infusion skins with composite spars and
metallic ribs. The empennage consists of composite sandwich skins with
metallic spars and ribs. The airframe has a sandwich construction for
the nose and empennage structures.
    There are no existing regulations that adequately address the
potential difference between metallic fabricated airplanes and
composite fabricated airplanes with regards to impact response
characteristics for what are considered survivable crash conditions.
The CFRP fuselage constitutes a novel and unusual design feature for a
transport category airplane. These special conditions are necessary to
ensure a level of safety equivalent to that provided by Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 25.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Learjet Inc. must show that
the Model LJ-200 meets the applicable provisions of part 25, as amended
by Amendment 25-1 through 25-127 thereto.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Model LJ-200 because of a novel or
unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the
provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the
other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model LJ-200 must comply with the fuel vent and exhaust
emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise certification
requirements of 14 CFR part 36; and the FAA must issue a finding of
regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574, the ``Noise
Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model LJ-200 will incorporate the following novel or unusual
design feature: Hybrid construction using both composite and metallic
materials in the structure for which the crashworthiness responses for
occupant safety may not be equivalent to that of all-metallic
structure.

Discussion

    The Model LJ-200 fuselage is fabricated using CFRP skins with
aluminum ribs and stringers. This hybrid construction may behave
differently from similar, fully-metallic structure due to differences
in material ductility, stiffness, failure modes, and energy absorption
characteristics. Therefore, the impact response characteristics of the
Model LJ-200 must be evaluated to ensure the survivable crashworthiness
characteristics are not significantly different than those of a
similarly-sized airplane fabricated from traditionally-used metallic
materials.
    The FAA and industry have been working together for many years to
understand how transport airplane occupant safety can be improved for
what are considered survivable accidents. This work has involved
examining airplane accidents, conducting tests to simulate crash
conditions, and developing analytical modeling of a range of crash
conditions, all with the purpose of providing further insight into the
factors that can influence occupant safety. Results of this on-going
effort have enabled specific changes to regulatory standards and design
practices to improve occupant safety. This evolution is reflected in
changes to the part 25 emergency landing condition regulations. For
example, airplane emergency load factors in Sec.  25.561, General, have
been increased, and passenger seat dynamic load conditions have been
added (Sec.  25.562, Emergency landing dynamic conditions).
    The seat dynamic load conditions were added to the regulations
based on FAA and industry tests and a review of accidents. They reflect
horizontal and vertical accelerations/time environment generated by
previously certificated airplane designs given conditions that were
survivable. These tests also demonstrated that the performance of the
airframe was acceptable in a dynamic impact event. In the evolution of
the regulations, there is at present no specific dynamic regulatory
requirement for airplane-level crashworthiness.

However, the FAA requires an assessment of each new model airplane to
ensure that the airplane will not significantly depart from typical
dynamic characteristics found in previously certificated designs.
    The nature of the assessment is largely dependent on the
similarities and differences between the new type design and previously
certificated airplanes. Such an assessment ensures that the level of
safety of the new composite designs corresponds to the level of safety
achieved with similar metallic designs around which the existing
regulations were written. If significant trends in industry warrant
change to the existing regulations, the FAA and industry rulemaking
process may be used to develop an appropriate dynamic regulatory
requirement for airplane level crashworthiness.
    The FAA and industry have collected a significant amount of
experimental data as well as data from crashes of transport category
airplanes that demonstrated a high occupant survival rate at vertical
descent velocities up to 30 ft/sec (on a single aisle airplane). Based
on this information, the FAA finds it appropriate and necessary for an
assessment of the Model LJ-200 to span a range of airplane vertical
descent velocities (up to 30 ft/sec, or that appropriate for a
comparable size airplane).
    The FAA expects the Model LJ-200 to exhibit similar crashworthiness
capabilities under foreseeable survivable impact events as achieved by
previously certificated transport category airplanes of similar size
and configuration. In order to make this assessment, criteria need to
be established by which the similarities and differences between new
type designs and previously certificated airplanes may be analytically
evaluated. Based on the FAA's evaluation of the intent of existing
regulations, the following areas need to be evaluated to demonstrate
comparable behavior of the Model LJ-200 design to currently
certificated transport category airplanes:
     Retention of items of mass. It must be shown that the
occupants, i.e., passengers, flight attendants, and flight crew, will
be protected during the impact event from release of seats, overhead
bins, and other items of mass due to the impact loads and resultant
structural deformation of the supporting airframe and floor structures.
     Maintenance of occupant emergency egress paths. The
airframe must not deform such that rapid evacuation of occupants is
impeded.
     Maintenance of acceptable acceleration and loads
experienced by the occupants.
     Maintenance of a survivable volume. All areas of the
airplane occupied for takeoff and landing must be shown to provide a
survivable volume during and after the impact event.

Discussion of Comments

    Notice of proposed special conditions No. 25-13-08-SC for the
Learjet Inc. Model LJ-200 airplanes was published in the Federal
Register on October 31, 2013 (78 FR 65235). No comments were received,
and the special conditions are adopted as proposed.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Learjet Inc. Model LJ-200-1A10. Should Learjet Inc. apply at a later
date for a change to the type certificate to include another model on
the same type certificate incorporating the same novel or unusual
design feature, the special conditions would apply to that model as
well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model of airplanes. It is not a rule of general applicability.

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for Learjet Inc. Model LJ-200-1A10
airplanes.

Crashworthiness, Emergency Landing Conditions

    In order to demonstrate an equivalent level of occupant safety and
survivability to that provided by previously certificated transport
category airplanes of similar size and configuration under foreseeable
survivable impact events, Learjet Inc. must demonstrate that the Model
LJ-200-1A10 meets the following criteria for a range of airplane
vertical descent velocities up to 30 ft/sec:
    1. Retention of items of mass. The occupants, i.e., passengers,
flight attendants, and flightcrew, must be protected during the impact
event from release of seats, overhead bins, and other items of mass due
to the impact loads and resultant structural deformation of the
supporting airframe and floor structures. The applicant must show that
loads due to the impact event and resultant structural deformation of
the supporting airframe and floor structure at the interface of the
airplane structure to seats, overhead bins, and other items of mass are
comparable to those of previously certificated transport category
airplanes of similar size for the range of descent velocities stated
above. The attachments of these items need not be designed for static
emergency landing loads in excess of those defined in Sec.  25.561 if
impact response characteristics of the Model LJ-200-1A10 yield load
factors at the attach points comparable with those expected for a
previously certificated transport category airplane of similar size.
    2. Maintenance of acceptable acceleration and loads experienced by
the occupants. The applicant must show that the vertical acceleration
levels experienced at the seat/floor interface and loads experienced by
the occupants during the impact event are consistent with those found
in Sec.  25.562(b) or with the levels expected for a previously
certificated comparable transport category airplane of similar size.
    3. Maintenance of a survivable volume. The applicant must show that
all areas of the airplane occupied for takeoff and landing provide a
survivable volume comparable to that of previously certificated
transport category airplanes of similar size during and after the
impact event. This means that structural deformation will not result in
infringement of the occupants' normal living space significantly
affecting their survivability or egress.
    4. Maintenance of occupant emergency egress paths. The applicant
must show that the airframe deformation after the vertical impact event
does not impede the rapid evacuation of occupants comparable to
previously certified transport category airplanes of similar size.

of Action on each ICR will become available via a hyperlink in the OMB
Control Number: 1625-0102.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The

Coast Guard has published the 60-day notice (82 FR 10375, February 10,
2017) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no
comments. Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collections.

Information Collection Request

    Title: National Response Resource Inventory.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0102.
    Summary: The information is needed to improve the effectiveness of
deploying response equipment in the event of an oil spill. It may also
be used in the development of contingency plans.
    Need: Section 4202 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
380) requires the Coast Guard to compile and maintain a comprehensive
list of spill removal equipment in a response resource inventory (RRI).
This collection helps fulfill that requirement.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Oil spill removal organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 1,752
hours to 1,378 hours a year. The change in burden is due to a change in
the methodology for calculating burden. In past ICRs we did not
differentiate between the industry hour burden for inputting a new RRI
submission or updating an existing RRI submission. In this ICR, we
estimate that it takes fewer hours (i.e., 50 percent fewer hours) to
review/update an existing RRI submission than to input a new
submission.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: August 4, 2017.

on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

Background

    This proposed settlement agreement is the result of voluntary
disclosures of CWA, EPCRA, CAA, and RCRA violations by MetroPCS to the
Special Litigation and Projects Division (SLPD) in the Office of Civil
Enforcement. MetroPCS was a wireless telecommunications company that
used Distributed Antenna System (DAS) network facilities to provide
wider wireless coverage and increase indoor WiFi capacity where
alternate technologies are infeasible due to terrain or zoning
challenges for cell tower placement. T-Mobile US is a
telecommunications company organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware which formed as a result of the May 1, 2013 merger of MetroPCS
and T-Mobile USA.
    On December 31, 2009, EPA and MetroPCS entered into a corporate
audit agreement pursuant to EPA's policy on Incentives for Self-
Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of
Violations (Audit Policy), 65 FR 19618 (Apr. 11, 2000), regarding 88
office buildings, warehouses, and DAS facilities located in 11 states
(first phase). EPA and MetroPCS subsequently amended the audit
agreement on November 4, 2010, to add to the audit 11,715 cell site
facilities and two switch sites located in 15 states (second phase). A
final list of all disclosed and corrected violations is provided in
Attachment A to the CAFO.

Proposed Settlement

    EPA determined that MetroPCS' disclosures satisfied all the
conditions set forth in the Audit Policy, and therefore qualify for a
100% reduction of the civil penalty's gravity component. Pursuant to
the settlement agreement, EPA proposes to waive the gravity-based
penalty. T-Mobile US has agreed to pay

a civil penalty of $16,913 for the violations identified in Attachment
A. This figure is the calculated economic benefit of noncompliance
based on information provided by MetroPCS and use of the Economic
Benefit (BEN) computer model. Of this amount, $11,441 is attributable
to EPCRA violations, $3,777 is attributable to CWA violations, $1,543
is attributable to CAA violations, and $152 is attributable to RCRA
violations.
    EPA and T-Mobile US negotiated the proposed Consent Agreement in
accordance with the Consolidated Rules of Practice, 40 CFR Part 22,
specifically 40 CFR 22.13(b) and 22.18(b) (In re: T-Mobile US, Inc.,
EPCRA-HQ-2013-8004; CWA-HQ-2013-8004; CAA-HQ-2013-8004; and RCRA-HQ-
2013-8004). This Consent Agreement is subject to public notice and
comment under Section 311(b)(6)(C) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(6)(C).
The procedures by which the public may comment on a proposed CWA Class
II penalty order, or participate in a Class II penalty proceeding, are
set forth in 40 CFR 22.45. The deadline for submitting public comment
on this proposed final order is August 19, 2013. All comments will be
transferred to the EAB for consideration. The EAB's powers and duties
are outlined in 40 CFR 22.4(a).

Disclosed and Corrected Violations

CWA

    MetroPCS violated CWA Section 311(j), 33 U.S.C. 1321(j), and the
regulations found at 40 CFR Part 112, because it failed to prepare and
implement Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans
for two facilities identified in Attachment A (720 2nd St, Suite 1200,
Oakland, CA 94607 and 2990 Gateway Drive, Suite 950, Norcross, GA
30071).
    Under CWA Section 311(b)(6)(A), 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(6)(A), any owner,
operator, or person in charge of a vessel, onshore facility, or
offshore facility from which oil is discharged in violation of CWA
Section 311(b)(3), 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(3), or who fails or refuses to
comply with any regulations that have been issued under CWA Section
311(j), 33 U.S.C. 1321(j), may be assessed an administrative civil
penalty of up to $177,500 by EPA. Class II proceedings under CWA
Section 311(b)(6) are conducted in accordance with 40 CFR Part 22. As
authorized by CWA Section 311(b)(6), 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(6), EPA has
assessed a civil penalty for these violations.
    Pursuant to CWA Section 311(b)(6)(C), 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(6)(C), EPA
will not issue an order in this proceeding prior to the close of the
public comment period.

EPCRA

    MetroPCS disclosed that it violated Sections 302(c) and 303(d) of
EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. 11002(c) and 11003(d), and the implementing
regulations found at 40 CFR Part 355, at 24 facilities listed in
Attachment A when it failed to properly provide emergency planning
notifications for these facilities. Such notification is mandatory when
extremely hazardous substances are present at a facility in an amount
equal to or greater than the materials' threshold planning quantities.
These violations constitute one-time violations.
    MetroPCS violated Section 311(a) of EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. 11021(a), and
the implementing regulations found at 40 CFR Part 370, at 24 facilities
listed in Attachment A when it failed to submit a Material Safety Data
Sheet(s) (MSDS) for a hazardous chemical(s) and/or an extremely
hazardous substance(s) or, in the alternative, a list of such
chemicals, to the local emergency planning committee (LEPC), the state
emergency response commission (SERC), and the fire department with
jurisdiction over these facilities. In addition, MetroPCS disclosed
that it violated Section 312(a) of EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. 11022(a), and the
regulations found at 40 CFR Part 370, at 24 facilities listed in
Attachment A by failing to prepare and submit emergency and chemical
inventory forms (Tier I or Tier II, as described in 40 CFR Part 370) to
the LEPC, SERC, and the fire department with jurisdiction over these
facilities.
    Under EPCRA Section 325, 42 U.S.C. 11045, the Administrator may
issue an administrative order assessing a civil penalty against any
person who has violated applicable emergency planning or right-to-know
requirements, or any other requirement of EPCRA. Proceedings under
EPCRA Section 325 are conducted in accordance with 40 CFR Part 22. EPA,
as authorized by EPCRA Section 325, 42 U.S.C. 11045, has assessed a
civil penalty for these violations.

CAA

    MetroPCS violated the federally-approved New Jersey and
Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) requirements for failure
to comply with recordkeeping and permitting requirements for its
emergency generators at five facilities listed in Attachment A. Section
110(a)(1) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(1), requires states to submit
plans to implement, maintain, and enforce ambient air quality
standards. Both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania SIPs include
requirements approved by EPA under Section 110 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C.
7410. As detailed below, these provisions were incorporated into the
respective SIPs and are therefore federally-enforceable.
    At the time of the violations, the New Jersey SIP included a
provision, N.J.A.C. 7:27 Section 19.11, stating that emergency
generators are subject to specific on-site recordkeeping requirements,
effective March 7, 2007. This provision was federally-approved on July
31, 2007, and became federally-enforceable on August 30, 2007 (72 Fed.
Reg. 41626). MetroPCS owned or operated a facility in Pennsauken, New
Jersey that failed to keep on-site operating records for its emergency
generator in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:27 Section 19.11.
    At the time of the violations, the Pennsylvania SIP included a
provision, City of Philadelphia Air Management Regulation I, Section
II, stating that air contaminant sources must apply for an installation
permit and operating license. This provision was federally-approved and
became federally-enforceable on May 4, 1974 (40 Fed. Reg. 41787).
MetroPCS owned or operated four (4) facilities in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania that failed to apply for an installation permit and
operating license as required by the City of Philadelphia Air
Management Regulation I, Section II.
    MetroPCS violated the federally-approved SIP requirements which
were approved by EPA pursuant to CAA Section 110, 42 U.S.C. 7410.
MetroPCS is therefore subject to federal enforcement under CAA Section
113(d), 42 U.S.C. 7413(d). EPA, as authorized by CAA Section 113(d), 42
U.S.C. 7413(d), may assess a civil penalty for these violations. Under
CAA Section 113(d), 42 U.S.C. 7413(d), the Administrator may issue an
administrative order assessing a civil penalty against any person who
has violated an applicable requirement of the CAA, including any rule,
order, waiver, permit or plan. Proceedings under CAA Section 113(d) are
conducted in accordance with 40 CFR Part 22. EPA, as authorized by the
CAA, has assessed a civil penalty for these violations.

RCRA

    MetroPCS violated Section 3002 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6922, and the
regulations found at 40 CFR 273.13--.15 (universal waste requirements
for the storage, labeling, and inventory of lamps and batteries), and
the federally-

authorized state regulations at one facility in Florida (Fla. Admin.
Code Ann. R. 62-730.185), one facility in Georgia (Section 391-3-11.18
of the Georgia Hazardous Waste Management Rules (GHWMR)), and one
facility in New York (Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules, and
Regulations, Section 374-3.2), as identified in Attachment A. MetroPCS
also disclosed that it violated Section 3002 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6922,
and the regulations found at 40 CFR 273.16, at one facility in Florida
(Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-730.185) and one facility in Georgia
(Section 391-3-11.18 of the GHWMR), by failing to train employees in
proper identification and management of universal waste. Proceedings
under RCRA Section 3008, 42 U.S.C. 6928, are conducted in accordance
with 40 CFR Part 22. EPA, as authorized by RCRA Section 3008(g), 42
U.S.C. 6928(g), has assessed a civil penalty for these violations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
#258 entitled ``Use of Tracers in Animal Food, Type A Medicated
Articles, and Medicated Feeds.'' FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine
receives inquiries regarding the use of ``tracers'' in animal food,
medicated feeds, and Type A medicated articles. Tracers are ingredients
added to these products to identify a particular product. The purpose
of this document is to provide guidance on the use of tracers in animal
food, medicated feeds, and Type A medicated articles. When finalized,
this guidance will replace CPG Sec. 680.100 Tracers in Animal Feed.
    This level 1 draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's
good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance,
when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on the use
of tracers in animal food, Type A medicated articles, and medicated
feeds. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not
binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
