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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and
to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This
notice solicits comments on recommendations to applicants considering
whether to request a waiver or reduction in user fees.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection
of information by July 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments as follows:

Electronic Submissions

    Submit electronic comments in the following way:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov/.
Follow the instructions for submitting comments. Comments submitted
electronically, including attachments, to https://www.regulations.gov/
will be posted to the docket unchanged. Because your comment will be
made public, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your comment
does not include any confidential information that you or a third party
may not wish to be posted, such as medical information, your or anyone
else's Social Security number, or confidential business information,
such as a manufacturing process. Please note that if you include your
name, contact information, or other information that identifies you in
the body of your comments, that information will be posted on https://www.regulations.gov/. If you want to submit a comment with confidential
information that you do not wish to be made available to the public,
submit the comment as a written/paper submission and in the manner
detailed (see ``Written/Paper Submissions'' and ``Instructions'').

Written/Paper Submissions

    Submit written/paper submissions as follows:
     Mail/Hand delivery/Courier (for written/paper

     Confidential Submissions--To submit a comment with
confidential information that you do not wish to be made publicly
available, submit your comments only as a written/paper submission. You
should submit two copies total. One copy will include the information
you claim to be confidential with a heading or cover note that states
``THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.'' The Agency will
review this copy, including the claimed confidential information, in
its consideration of comments. The second copy, which will have the
claimed confidential information redacted/blacked out, will be
available for public viewing and posted on https://www.regulations.gov/. Submit both copies to the Division of Dockets
Management. If you do not wish your name and contact information to be
made publicly available, you can provide this information on the cover
sheet and not in the body of your comments and you must identify this
information as ``confidential.'' Any information marked as
``confidential'' will not be disclosed except in accordance with 21 CFR

FDA's posting of comments to public dockets, see 80 FR 56469, September

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Guidance for Industry--User Fee Waivers, Reductions, and Refunds for
Drug and Biological Products--OMB Control Number 0910-0693--Extension

    The guidance provides recommendations for applicants planning to
request waivers or reductions in prescription drug user fees assessed
under sections 735 and 736 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(21 U.S.C. 379g and 21 U.S.C. 379h) (the FD&C Act). The guidance
describes the types of waivers and reductions permitted under the
prescription drug user fee provisions of the FD&C Act, and the
procedures for submitting requests for waivers or reductions. It also
includes recommendations for submitting information for requests for
reconsideration of denials of waiver or reduction requests, and for
requests for appeals. The guidance also provides clarification on
related issues such as user fee exemptions for orphan drugs.
    Based on Agency records, we estimate that the total annual number
of waiver requests submitted for all of these categories will be 150,
submitted by 115 different applicants. We estimate that the average
burden hours for preparation of a submission will total 16 hours.
Because FDA may request additional information from the applicant
during the review period, we have also included in this estimate time
to prepare any additional information. We have included in the burden
estimate the preparation and submission of application fee waivers for
small businesses, because small businesses requesting a waiver must
submit documentation to FDA on the number of their employees and must
include the information that the application is the first human drug
application, within the meaning of the FD&C Act, to be submitted to the
Agency for approval.
    Previously, after receipt of a small business waiver request, FDA
would request a small business size determination from the Small
Business Administration (SBA). Waiver applicants would submit their
supporting documentation directly to SBA for evaluation and after
completing their review, SBA provided FDA with a determination whether
a waiver applicant qualified as a small business for purposes of
evaluating user fee waivers. The burden for submission of this
information to SBA is approved under OMB control number 3245-0101.
Beginning fiscal year 2015, the SBA declined to conduct further size
determinations for evaluation of small business user fee waivers and as
a result, a processing change at FDA occurred. The new FDA process
requires waiver applicants to submit documentation directly to FDA. In
addition, fewer supporting documents than previously requested by SBA
are required. As a result, we estimate that the 4 burden hours per
small business waiver previously attributed to SBA and approved under
OMB control number 3245-0101, should now be attributed to FDA because
SBA is no longer conducting size determinations for FDA. Also, because
FDA is asking that applicants submit fewer supporting documents, we
estimate that these burden hours should be reduced to 2 hours instead
of 4 hours. We understand that SBA plans to submit a revised burden
estimate to OMB control number 3245-0101 to account for this
redistribution.
    The reconsideration and appeal requests are not addressed in the
FD&C Act, but are discussed in the guidance. We estimate that we will
receive seven requests for reconsideration annually, and that the total
average burden hours for a reconsideration request will be 24 hours. In
addition, we estimate that we will receive one request annually for an
appeal of a user fee waiver determination, and that the time needed to
prepare an appeal would be approximately 12 hours We have included in
this estimate both the time needed to prepare the request for appeal to
the Chief Scientist, User Fee Appeals Officer, Office of the
Commissioner, and the time needed to create and send a copy of the
request for an appeal to the Director, Division of User Fee Management,
Office of Management at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
    The burden for completing and submitting Form FDA 3397
(Prescription Drug User Fee Coversheet) is not included in this
analysis as the burden is included under OMB control number 0910-0297.
The collection of information associated with submission of a new drug
application or biologics license application are approved under OMB
control numbers 0910-0001 and 0910-0338, respectively.

Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-400; in the Vicinity of
Worthington, MN.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action changes the effective date of a final rule
published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2022, amending VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-170, V-175, and V-250,
and establishing area navigation (RNAV) route T-400, due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Worthington, MN, VOR/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid. The FAA is delaying the
effective date to facilitate continued use of the current Air Traffic
Procedures, while allowing sufficient time for redesign of the proposed
procedures, in order to meet to required current procedure criteria.

DATES: The effective date of the final rule published on January 14,
2022 (87 FR 2322) is delayed until September 8, 2022. The Director of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket
No. FAA-2021-0479 (87 FR 2322, January 14, 2022), amending VOR Federal
airways V-170, V-175, and V-250, and establishing RNAV route T-400, due
to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Worthington,
MN, VOR/DME. The effective date for that final rule is March 24, 2022.
Subsequent to publication of the final rule, the Flight Standards
Procedure Review Board (PRB) denied a waiver request to use a higher
climb gradient than specified in current criteria for a portion of the
Air Traffic Procedures that were revised in support of this action. The
FAA is delaying the effective date to September 8, 2022 to facilitate
continued use of the current Air Traffic Service procedures, while
allowing sufficient time for the redesign of the proposed procedures,
in order to meet the required current procedural criteria.
    To facilitate the safe and continuous use of existing air traffic
procedures while the ATS route procedures are redesigned, the planned
decommissioning date for the Worthington, MN, VOR has been postponed to
September 8, 2022. The rule amending V-170, V-175, and V-250, and
establishing area navigation T-400 is delayed to coincide with that
date.
    VOR Federal airways and RNAV T-routes are published in paragraphs
6010(a) and 6011, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August
20, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which are incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The ATS routes listed in this document will
be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Good Cause for No Notice and Comment

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of Title 5, United States Code, (the
Administrative Procedure Act) authorizes agencies to dispense with
notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good
cause'' finds that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary,
or contrary to the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency,
upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment
prior to the rulemaking. The FAA finds that prior notice and public
comment to this final rule is unnecessary due to the brief length of
the extension of the effective date and the fact that there is no
substantive change to the rule.''

Delay of Effective Date

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the
effective date of the final rule, Airspace Docket 21-AGL-5, as
published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2022 (87 FR 2322), FR
Doc. 2022-00457, is hereby delayed until September 8, 2022.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2015-0325]

Qualification of Drivers; Application for Exemptions; Hearing

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of applications for exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that 9 individuals have applied for a medical
exemption from the hearing requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). In accordance with the statutory
requirements concerning applications for exemptions, FMCSA requests
public comments on these requests. The statute and implementing
regulations concerning exemptions require that exemptions must provide
an equivalent or greater level of safety than if they were not granted.
If the Agency determines the exemptions would satisfy the statutory
requirements and decides to grant theses requests after reviewing the
public comments submitted in response to this notice, the exemptions
would enable these 9 individuals to operate CMVs in interstate
commerce.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 2, 2015.

Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has authority to
grant exemptions from many of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), as amended by
section 4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century
(TEA-21) (Pub. L. 105-178, June 9, 1998, 112 Stat. 107, 401). FMCSA has
published in 49 CFR part 381, subpart C final rules implementing the
statutory changes in its exemption procedures made by section 4007, 69
FR 51589 (August 20, 2004).\1\ Under the rules in part 381, subpart C,
FMCSA must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal
Register. The Agency must provide the public with an opportunity to
inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted and any research reports,
technical papers and other publications referenced in the application.
The Agency must also provide an opportunity to submit public comment on
the applications for exemption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This action adopted as final rules the interim final rules
issued by FMCSA's predecessor in 1998 (63 FR 67600 (Dec. 8, 2008)),
and adopted by FMCSA in 2001 [66 FR 49867 (Oct. 1, 2001)].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved without the exemption. The decision of the Agency must be
published in the Federal Register. If the Agency denies the request, it
must state the reason for doing so. If the decision is to grant the
exemption, the notice must specify the person or class of persons
receiving the exemption and the regulatory provision or provisions from
which an exemption is granted. The notice must also specify the
effective period of the exemption (up to 2 years) and explain the terms
and conditions of the exemption. The exemption may be renewed.
    The current provisions of the FMCSRs concerning hearing state that
a person is physically qualified to drive a CMV if that person

    First perceives a forced whispered voice in the better ear at
not less than 5 feet with or without the use of a hearing aid or, if
tested by use of an audiometric device, does not have an average
hearing loss in the better ear greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz,
1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a hearing aid when the
audiometric device is calibrated to American National Standard
(formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.

49 CFR 391.41(b)(11). This standard was adopted in 1970, with a
revision in 1971 to allow drivers to be qualified under this standard
while wearing a hearing aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36
FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
    FMCSA also issues instructions for completing the medical
examination report and includes advisory criteria on the report itself
to provide guidance for medical examiners in applying the hearing
standard. See 49 CFR 391.43(f). The current advisory criteria for the
hearing standard include a reference to a report entitled ``Hearing
Disorders and Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers'' prepared for the
Federal Highway Administration, FMCSA's predecessor, in 1993.\2\

_____________________________________-

FMCSA Requests Comments on the Exemption Applications

    FMCSA requests comments from all interested parties on whether a
driver who cannot meet the hearing standard should be permitted to
operate a CMV in interstate commerce. Further, the Agency asks for
comments on whether a driver who cannot meet the hearing standard
should be limited to operating only certain types of vehicles in
interstate commerce, for example, vehicles without air brakes. The
statute and implementing regulations concerning exemptions require that
the Agency request public comments on all applications for exemptions.
The Agency is also required to make a determination that an exemption
would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or
greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption
before granting any such requests.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8427]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained from
FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at http://www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.

DATES: The effective date of each community's scheduled suspension is
the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third column of the following
tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact Patricia Suber, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not

otherwise generally available from private insurers. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
measures aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future
flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale of NFIP flood insurance
unless an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed in
this document no longer meet that statutory requirement for compliance
with program regulations, 44 CFR part 59. Accordingly, the communities
will be suspended on the effective date in the third column. As of that
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the community. We
recognize that some of these communities may adopt and submit the
required documentation of legally enforceable floodplain management
measures after this rule is published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities will not be suspended and will
continue to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood insurance. A notice
withdrawing the suspension of such communities will be published in the
Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

    Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD)
apply to any air quality program in either a state or a United States
protectorate with one or more existing CISWI units that commenced
construction either on or before April 29, 2010. In general, all
emission guidelines require initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of existing
CISWI units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 78 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannual, annual.
    Total estimated burden: 9,890 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $12,200,000 (per year), which includes
$11,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to several considerations. The growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
change in the number of respondents. The regulations have changed over
the past three years; however, the amendments did not result in any
changes in burden. The labor calculations for incinerators were
corrected to remove one instance in the previous ICR, where labor costs
for continuous parameter monitoring were double-counted. The labor
calculations for incinerators were also corrected to revise the number
of respondents submitting a status report, corrective action summary,
and semiannual report to reflect reports submitted for 10 percent of
the total number of CISWI units. The overall result is a decrease in
burden hours. The costs for annual performance testing were updated
from 2008 to 2020 using the CEPCI Index, resulting in an increase in
O&M costs. The monitoring costs were updated from 2008 values to 2020
values using the CEPCI Index and Bureau of Labor Statistics data,
resulting in an increase in monitoring costs.
