standards and added, through incorporation by reference, all national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) promulgated by EPA; revised
references to the ``Board of County Commissioners'' to ``County
Executive'' or ``County Council;'' added the ``Manager of the Air
Quality Program or their respective designee'' as a signatory for
enforcement orders; and revised a reference from the ``Bureau of
Environmental Quality Division of Air Quality'' to ``Air Quality
Program of the Department.'' This action is being taken under the Clean
Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 13,
2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On February 15, 2019, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania formally
submitted, on behalf of Allegheny County, a revision to the
Pennsylvania SIP (Revision 73).\1\ The revision consists of
administrative and definition amendments, as well as incorporation by
reference of the NAAQS to ACHD Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air
Pollution Control. The revision was adopted by ACHD and became
effective September 25, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On April 28, 2017, ACHD submitted Revision 73 to the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). PADEP,
on behalf of Allegheny County, also submitted a clarification letter
dated June 24, 2019 to EPA to further clarify the revisions to
sections 2101.10 and 2101.20 of Article XXI of ACHD's Rules and
Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    The February 15, 2019 submittal includes amended versions of ACHD
Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air Pollution Control, sections
2101.10 Ambient Air Quality Standards, 2101.20 Definitions, 2109.02
Remedies, and 2109.03 Enforcement Orders. The amendment to section
2101.10 deleted ACHD's existing list of NAAQS and added, through
incorporation by reference, all NAAQS promulgated by the EPA under the
CAA at 40 CFR part 50. The amendment to section 2101.20 added the
following definition for County Council, ```County Council' means the
Council of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.'' The amendments to section
2109.02 revised the reference to ``Board of County Commissioners'' to
``County Executive'' in paragraphs (a)(5) and (a)(6).
    In section 2109.03, the amendments include revising references from
``Board of County Commissioners'' to ``County Council,'' as well as an
additional signatory option for enforcement orders in paragraph (b)(1).
The language in paragraph (b)(1) was revised from ``Be in written form
and be signed by the Director or the Deputy Director, Bureau of
Environmental Quality'' to ``Be in written form and be signed by the
Director, the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Environmental Quality,
or the Manager of the Air Quality Program, or their respective
designee.'' Lastly, in the provisions of paragraph (d)(1), Hearings,
the ``Bureau of Environmental Quality Division of Air Quality'' was
revised to the ``Air Quality Program of the Department'' to specify
that such hearings cannot be held before employees of the Department
who are assigned to the Air Quality Program.
    EPA's review of this material indicates the February 15, 2019
submittal is approvable as it meets requirements of the CAA under
section 110(a) and contains the deletion/addition of language
incorporating by reference all of the NAAQS promulgated by EPA and
other administrative revisions to regulations that were previously
included in the Pennsylvania SIP. None of these deletions, additions,
or revisions affect emissions of air pollutants, and none of the
deletions, additions, or revisions will interfere with any applicable
requirement concerning attainment of reasonable further progress or any
other applicable requirements in the CAA. Thus, EPA finds the revision
approvable specifically for section 110(l) of the CAA.
    A detailed summary of EPA's review and rationale for approving the
February 15, 2019 submittal may be found in the technical support
document (TSD) for this proposed rulemaking action, available online at
www.regulations.gov, docket number EPA-R03-OAR-2019-0483.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA's review of this material indicates the February 15, 2019
submittal is approvable as it meets the requirements of the CAA under
section 110(a) and includes the deletion/addition of language
incorporating by reference all of the NAAQS promulgated by EPA and
other administrative

revisions to regulations that were previously included in the
Pennsylvania SIP. EPA is proposing to approve the February 15, 2019
submittal, which includes administrative deletions, additions, and
revisions to ACHD Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air Pollution
Control, sections 2101.10 Ambient Air Quality Standards, 2101.20
Definitions, 2109.02 Remedies, and 2109.03 Enforcement Orders, as a
revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. EPA is soliciting public comments on
the issues discussed in this document. These comments will be
considered before taking final rulemaking action.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the revisions to ACHD Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air
Pollution Control, sections 2101.10 Ambient Air Quality Standards,
2101.20 Definitions, 2109.02 Remedies, and 2109.03 Enforcement Orders
discussed in Section II of this preamble. Also, in this document, as
described in the proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 52, EPA is
proposing to remove provisions of the EPA-Approved Pennsylvania
Regulations and Statutes from the Pennsylvania State Implementation
Plan, which is incorporated by reference in accordance with the
requirements of 1 CFR part 51.
    EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally
available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region III
Office (please contact the person identified in the For Further
Information Contact section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule, proposing approval of
administrative revisions to ACHD Rules and Regulations, Article XXI,
Air Pollution Control, sections 2101.10 Ambient Air Quality Standards,
2101.20 Definitions, 2109.02 Remedies, and 2109.03 Enforcement Orders,
does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to
apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it
will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.

requirements in Order No. 2001 (Docket No. RM01-8-000, issued April 25,
2002, at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/search/intermediate.asp?link_file=yes&doclist=2270047). Order No. 2001
required public utilities to electronically file EQRs summarizing
transaction information for short-term and long-term cost-based sales
and market-based rate sales and the contractual terms and conditions in
their agreements for all jurisdictional services.\2\ The Commission
established the EQR reporting requirements to help ensure the
collection of information needed to perform its regulatory functions
over transmission and sales, while making data more useful to the
public and allowing public utilities to better fulfill their
responsibility under FPA section 205(c) to have rates on file in a
convenient form and place. As noted in Order No. 2001, the EQR data is
designed to ``provide greater price transparency, promote competition,
enhance confidence in the fairness of the markets, and provide a better
means to detect and discourage discriminatory practices.''

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

    Since issuing Order No. 2001, the Commission has provided guidance
and refined the reporting requirements, as necessary, to reflect
changes in the Commission's rules and regulations.\3\ The Commission
also adopted an Electric Quarterly Report Data Dictionary, which
provides in one document the definitions of certain terms and values
used in filing EQR data.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See, e.g., Revised Public Utility Filing Requirements for
Electric Quarterly Reports, 124 FERC ] 61,244 (2008) (providing
guidance on the filing of information on transmission capacity
reassignments in EQRs); Notice of Electric Quarterly Reports
Technical Conference, 73 FR 2477 (Jan. 15, 2008) (announcing a
technical conference to discuss changes associated with the EQR Data
Dictionary).
    \4\ Order No. 2001-G, 120 FERC ] 61,270 (2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To increase transparency broadly across all wholesale markets
subject to the Commission's jurisdiction, the Commission issued Order
No. 768 in 2012.\5\ Order No. 768 required market participants that are
excluded from the Commission's jurisdiction under the Federal Power Act
section 205 (non-public utilities) and have more than a de minimis
market presence to file EQRs with the Commission. In addition, Order
No. 768 revised the EQR filing requirements to build upon the
Commission's prior improvements to the reporting requirements and
further enhance the goals of providing greater price transparency,
promoting competition, instilling confidence in the fairness of the
markets, and providing a better means to detect and discourage anti-
competitive, discriminatory, and manipulative practices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Order No. 768, 77 FR 61896 (Oct. 11, 2012), FERC Stats. &
Regs. ] 31,336 (2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EQR information allows the public to assess supply and demand
fundamentals and to price interstate wholesale market transactions.
This, in turn, results in greater market confidence, lower transaction
costs, and ultimately supports competitive markets. In addition, the
data filed in the EQR strengthens the Commission's ability to exercise
its wholesale electric rate and electric power transmission oversight
and enforcement responsibilities in accordance with the Federal Power
Act. Without this information, the Commission would lack some of the
data it needs to examine and approve or modify electric rates.
    Type of Respondent: Public utilities, and non-public utilities with
more than a de minimis market presence.
    Estimate of Annual Burden and Cost: \6\ The Commission estimates
the annual public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The cost is based on FERC's 2019 Commission-wide average
salary cost (salary plus benefits) of $80.00/hour. The Commission
staff believes the FERC FTE (full-time equivalent) average cost for
wages plus benefits is representative of the corresponding cost for
the industry respondents.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office
of Management and Budget Review; Comment Request; Certification of
Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Requests

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a
proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Submit written comments (including recommendations) on the
collection of information by May 4, 2020.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be submitted to https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under Review--Open for Public
Comments'' or by using the search function. The OMB control number for
this information collection is 0910-0832. Also include the FDA docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-12M, 11601
Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Certification of Identity; Form FDA 3975

OMB Control Number 0910-0832--Extension

    This information collection supports Form FDA 3975 entitled
``Certification of Identity,'' which is used by FDA to identify an
individual requesting a particular record under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. The form is available from
our website at: https://www.fda.gov/

RegulatoryInformation/FOI/default.htm, although if an individual
requests one, we will send it by mail or email. The form is required
only if an individual makes an FOIA request or Privacy Act request for
records about himself and has not provided sufficient assurances of
identity in the incoming FOIA or Privacy Act request.
    The FOIA grants the public a right to access Federal records not
normally prepared for public distribution. The Privacy Act grants a
right of access to members of the public who seek access to one's own
records that are maintained in an Agency's system of records (i.e., the
records are retrieved by that individual's name or other personal
identifier). The statutes overlap, and individuals who request their
own records are processed under both statutes. The Agency may need to
confirm that the individual making the FOIA or Privacy Act request is
indeed the same person named in the Agency records. Respondents to the
information collection are asked for certain information including
name, citizenship status, social security number, address, date of
birth, place of birth, signature, and date of signature.
    In the Federal Register of November 22, 2019 (84 FR 64539), we
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. One comment was received stating it was
important that FDA retain the information collection to help protect
against potential identity fraud. The comment also suggested that the
associated burden for completing and submitting Form FDA 3975 may be
lower than estimated, but did not provide alternative figures for us to
consider. We therefore retain our burden estimate, which is as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1246]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before June 26, 2012.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1246, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community

must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood hazard
determinations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements
of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate flood
insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM and FIS
report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at
www.fema.gov/pdf/media/factsheets/2010/srp_fs.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of Continental Beverage and Nutrition, Inc.; Order
of Suspension of Trading

September 3, 2008.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Continental Beverage and Nutrition, Inc. (``Continental'') because it
has not filed any periodic reports since it filed a Form 10-QSB for the
period ended November 30, 2006.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of Continental.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of
Continental is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on September
3, 2008, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on September 16, 2008.

    By the Commission.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61540; File No. SR-FINRA-2009-081]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Adopt FINRA
Rule 2261 (Disclosure of Financial Condition) in the Consolidated FINRA
Rulebook

February 18, 2010.
    On November 18, 2009, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to adopt FINRA Rule 2261 (Disclosure of Financial
Condition) in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the Federal Register on January 5,
2010.\3\ The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This
order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 61253
(December 29, 2009), 75 FR 0475.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As part of the process of developing a new consolidated rulebook
(``Consolidated FINRA Rulebook''),\4\ FINRA proposed adopting NASD Rule
2270 (Disclosure of Financial Condition to Customers) and NASD Rule
2910 (Disclosure of Financial Condition to Other Members), subject to
certain amendments, as FINRA Rule 2261 in the Consolidated FINRA
Rulebook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The current FINRA rulebook consists of (1) FINRA Rules; (2)
NASD Rules; and (3) rules incorporated from NYSE (``Incorporated
NYSE Rules'') (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated NYSE Rules
are referred to as the ``Transitional Rulebook''). While the NASD
Rules generally apply to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that are also members of
the NYSE (``Dual Members''). The FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA
members, unless such rules have a more limited application by their
terms. For more information about the rulebook consolidation
process, see Information Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook
Consolidation Process).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD Rule 2270 requires members to make available for inspection,
upon the request of any bona fide regular customer,\5\ the information
relative to such member's financial condition as disclosed in its most
recent balance sheet prepared either in accordance

with such member's usual practice or as required by any State or
Federal securities laws, or any rule or regulation thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For purposes of the rule, ``customer'' means any person who,
in the regular course of such member's business, has cash or
securities in the possession of such member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA proposed amending the requirements of NASD Rule 2270 to
provide an alternative means of satisfying the requirement that members
make balance sheet information available to bona fide regular
customers. Currently, the rule requires that members ``make available
to inspection by any bona fide regular customer, upon request, the
information relative to such member's financial condition as disclosed
in its most recent balance sheet * * *.'' FINRA proposed providing
members with the option of delivering their balance sheet, in paper or
electronic form, to customers who request it. With respect to
electronic delivery, the requesting customer must consent to receive
the balance sheet in electronic form to ensure that such information is
accessible to the customer. FINRA did not propose requiring members to
deliver their balance sheet to all customers (instead of making them
available to inspection or delivering them upon request) because Rule
17a-5(c) under the Act \6\ generally requires a broker-dealer that
carries customer accounts to send its full balance sheet and certain
other financial information to each of its customers twice a year.\7\
NASD Rule 2270 provides customers with additional access to their
broker's balance sheet information by requiring that members permit
customers to inspect or obtain a copy of a member's most recent balance
sheet at any time upon request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.17a-5(c).
    \7\ SEC Rule 17a-5(c)(5) contains a conditional exemption from
the requirement that broker-dealers semi-annually send customers a
full balance sheet. Under the exemption, a broker-dealer can semi-
annually send its customers summary information regarding its net
capital, as long as it also provides customers with a toll-free
number to call for a free copy of its full balance sheet, makes its
full balance sheet available to customers on its Web site, and meets
other specified requirements. See Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 48272 (August 1, 2003), 68 FR 46446 (August 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD Rule 2910 requires any member that is a party to an open
transaction or who has on deposit cash or securities of another member
to furnish, upon the written request of the other member, a statement
of its financial condition as disclosed in its most recently prepared
balance sheet. FINRA proposed amending the provisions of NASD Rule 2910
to require, consistent with NASD Rule 2270, that members provide to
other members the balance sheet that was ``prepared either in
accordance with such member's usual practice or as required by any
State or Federal securities laws, or any rule or regulation
thereunder.'' In addition, FINRA proposed that members be permitted to
provide their balance sheet to other members in paper or electronic
form. However, unlike the proposed amendments to NASD Rule 2270, FINRA
did not propose requiring members to obtain the consent of other
members to electronically deliver the balance sheet. FINRA believes
that other members, unlike all customers, will be equipped to receive
electronic delivery.
    FINRA believes that the requirements of NASD Rule 2270 and NASD
Rule 2910 continue to provide access to important information by
allowing customers and other members to have access to a copy of a
member's most recent balance sheet at any time upon request and should
be transferred, as amended, to the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook as FINRA
Rule 2261.
    FINRA will announce the implementation date of the proposed rule
change in a Regulatory Notice to be published no later than 90 days
following Commission approval.
    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities association.\8\ In
particular, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with
Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\9\ which requires, among other things,
that FINRA's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The
Commission believes that the proposed rule change will further the
purposes of the Act by, among other things, ensuring that basic,
current information regarding the financial condition of members with
which customers and other members conduct business is available upon
request. The Commission therefore believes that it is appropriate and
consistent with the Act for FINRA to Adopt FINRA Rule 2261 (Disclosure
of Financial Condition) in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (SR-FINRA-2009-081) is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Docket No. FDA-2021-D-1149]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office
of Management and Budget Review; Comment Request; Emergency Use
Authorization of Medical Products and Related Authorities

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is
announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Submit written comments (including recommendations) on the
collection of information by August 11, 2023.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be submitted to https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under Review--Open for Public
Comments'' or by using the search function. The OMB control number for
this information collection is 0910-0595. Also include the FDA docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: JonnaLynn Capezzuto, Office of
Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-
12M, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Emergency Use Authorization of Medical Products and Related Authorities

OMB Control Number 0910-0595--Revision

    This information collection helps support FDA's implementation of
sections 564, 564A, and 564B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3, 360bbb-3a, and 360bbb-3b), which govern the
authorization of medical products for use in emergencies. The statutes
authorize FDA to permit the introduction into interstate commerce a
drug, device, or biological product intended for use in an actual or
potential emergency. The purpose of these provisions is to sustain and
strengthen national preparedness for public health, military, and
domestic emergencies involving chemical, biological, radiological, and
nuclear agents, including emerging infectious disease threats.
    We are revising the information collection to discuss the guidance
document entitled, ``Transition Plan for Medical Devices Issued
Emergency Use

Authorizations (EUAs) Related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19),''
announced in the Federal Register of March 27, 2023 (88 FR 18144). The
guidance document describes a phased-in approach intended to help avoid
disruption in device supply and help facilitate compliance with
applicable legal requirements. The recommendations discussed in the
guidance document result in the one-time collection of information
intended to ensure an orderly and transparent transition from temporary
policies established during the COVID-19 public health emergency to
normal operations.
    In the Federal Register of December 23, 2021 (86 FR 72978), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. However, upon further review, we find the
recommendations discussed in the guidance document apply to specific
medical devices already issued EUAs and characterize the activity as
non-standardized followup designed to clarify responses to approved
collections of information, i.e., plans for continued compliance unique
to that medical device issued an EUA. We therefore believe the activity
constitutes the collection of non-identical and/or followup
information, as defined under 5 CFR 1320.3. At the same time, we expect
some degree of fluctuation in submissions under 21 CFR 814.20, as a
result of implementation of the medical device transition plan.
Information collection associated with 21 CFR part 814 is currently
approved in OMB control number 0910-0231.

    Dated: July 6, 2023.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I believe that my life has been turned around, thanks in no small part, to electronic cigarettes.  I have gone from a pack a day habit to roughly 9mg of nicotine a day.  While I understand that electronic cigarettes are not intended, nor marketed to be smoking cessation devices, I have completely ceased smoking and will soon be off my nicotine addition altogether.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

Tolerances for Residues of New Animal Drugs in Food; 2-
Acetylamino-5-Nitrothiazole; Buquinolate; Chlorobutanol; Estradiol and
Related Esters; Ethylenediamine; Florfenicol; Flunixin; Furazolidone;

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect the revocation of tolerances for residues
of various substances in food because approval has been withdrawn for
the underlying food additive petitions (FAPs) or new animal drug
applications (NADAs). This action is being taken to improve the
accuracy of the regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective March 23, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George K. Haibel, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug Administration, 7519
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e[dash]mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)) (21 CFR 514.105(a))
directs FDA to establish tolerances by regulation, as necessary, when a
new animal drug is approved for use in food-producing animals. However,
section 512(i) of the FD&C Act (21 CFR 514.115(e)) also obligates FDA
to revoke such tolerance regulations upon the withdrawal of approval of
the related NADA.
    FDA has noticed that the animal drug regulations contain tolerances
for residues of substances in food that were established by approval of
FAPs for animal drug products prior to the Animal Drug Amendments of
1968 or by NADA for which an underlying application for use in a food-
producing species is not currently approved. Following codification of
the tolerance, the underlying FAP may have been withdrawn, or an NADA
for the same drug product was not filed or was withdrawn, either
voluntarily or for cause. When regulations for these products were
removed or omitted from various redesignation rules, the appropriate
conforming amendments to remove the revoked tolerances from part 556
(21 CFR part 556) were not made. The following chemical substances and
new animal drugs have codified tolerances for which FDA finds no
applications with corresponding approved conditions of use in food-
producing animals:
    1. 2-Acetylamino-5-nitrothiazole (Sec.  556.20). In 1979, FDA
acknowledged the voluntary withdrawal of approval of NADA 9-424 for use
of 2-acetylamino-5-nitrothiazole for use in turkey feed and revoked 21
CFR 558.25 (44 FR 40888, July 13, 1979), but did not amend part 556 to
remove the associated tolerances.
    2. Chlorobutanol (Sec.  556.140). In 1963, FDA established a
tolerance for chlorobutanol in milk of dairy animals at Sec.  121.1131
(21 CFR 121.1131) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a
combination drug, antibiotic/steroid intramammary infusion (28 FR 4948,
May 17, 1963). Section 121.1131 was redesignated as 21 CFR 135g.31 (35
FR 15372 at 15376, October 2, 1970) and as Sec.  556.140 (40 FR 13802
at 13947, March 27, 1975).
    3. Estradiol and progesterone in edible tissues of lambs
(Sec. Sec.  556.240 and 556.540). In 1973, FDA acknowledged the
voluntary withdrawal of approval of a subcutaneous implant for use in
lambs containing estradiol benzoate and progesterone under NADA 9-442
(38 FR 7481, March 22, 1973). Subsequently, FDA removed the approved
conditions of use in 21 CFR 522.1940 (44 FR 6707 at 6708, February 2,
1979), but did not amend part 556 to remove the associated tolerances
in uncooked edible tissues of lambs.
    4. Ethylenediamine (Sec.  556.270). In 1965, FDA established a
tolerance for ethylenediamine in milk of dairy animals at Sec.
121.1184 (21 CFR 121.1184) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a
combination drug, antibiotic intramammary infusion (30 FR 11952 at
11954, September 18, 1965). Section 121.1184 was redesignated as 21 CFR
135g.48 (35 FR 15372 at 15378) and as Sec.  556.270 (40 FR 13802 at
13950).
    5. Furazolidone (Sec.  556.290). In 1963, FDA established a
tolerance for furazolidone in uncooked edible tissues of swine at Sec.
121.2582 (21 CFR 121.2582) incidental to the approval of an FAP for use
in medicated swine feed (28 FR 12664 at 12665, November 28, 1963).
Section 121.2582 was redesignated as 21 CFR 121.1145 (30 FR 15845 at
15917, December 23, 1965), as 21 CFR 135g.36 (35 FR 15372 at 15376),
and as Sec.  556.290 (40 FR 13802 at 13950). In 1971, FDA proposed to
withdraw approval of NADAs for use of furazolidone in food-producing
animals on grounds that the drug, when administered to laboratory
animals, was shown to produce tumors (36 FR 5927, March 31, 1971) and
in 1991 withdrew approval after a full evidentiary hearing (56 FR
41902, August 23, 1991). Currently, there is no approved application
for use of furazolidone in a food-producing species. A 1996 order
codified a prohibition of extralabel use of furazolidone in food-
producing animals (61 FR 57732 at 57743, November 7, 1996 as amended 67
FR 5470 at 5471, February 6, 2002). See 21 CFR 530.41(a)(7).
    6. Hydrocortisone (Sec.  556.320). In 1970, FDA established a
tolerance for hydrocortisone in milk of dairy animals at Sec.  135g.3
(21 CFR 135g.3) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a combination
drug, antibiotic/steroid intramammary infusion (35 FR 12332 at 12333,
August 1, 1970). Section 135g.3

was redesignated as Sec.  556.320 (40 FR 13802 at 13950).
    7. Methylparaben (Sec.  556.390). In 1964, FDA established a
tolerance for methylparaben in milk of dairy animals at Sec.  121.1158
(21 CFR 121.1158) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a
combination drug, antibiotic intramammary infusion (29 FR 14624,
October 27, 1964). Section 121.1158 was redesignated as 21 CFR 135g.41
(35 FR 15372 at 15376) and as Sec.  556.390 (40 FR 13802 at 13956).
    8. Methylprednisolone (Sec.  556.400). In 1970, FDA established a
tolerance for methylprednisolone in milk of dairy animals at Sec.
135g.67 (21 CFR 135g.67) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a
combination drug, antibiotic/steroid intramammary infusion (35 FR 12332
at 12333). Section 135g.67 was redesignated as Sec.  556.400 (40 FR
13802 at 13956).
    9. Prednisolone (Sec.  556.520). In 1964, FDA established a
tolerance for prednisolone in milk of dairy animals at Sec.  121.1147
(21 CFR 121.1147) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a
combination drug, antibiotic intramammary infusion (29 FR 3393, March
14, 1964). Section 121.1147 was redesignated as 21 CFR 135g.37 (35 FR
15372 at 15376) and as Sec.  556.520 (40 FR 13802 at 13956).
    10. Prednisone (Sec.  556.530). In 1964, FDA established a
tolerance for prednisone in milk of dairy animals at Sec.  121.1157 (21
CFR 121.1157) incidental to the approval of an FAP for a combination
drug, antibiotic intramammary infusion (29 FR 14624). Section 121.1157
was redesignated as 21 CFR 135g.40 (35 FR 15372 at 15376) and as Sec.
556.530 (40 FR 13802 at 13956).
    11. Propylparaben (Sec.  556.550). In 1964, FDA established a
tolerance for propylparaben in milk of dairy animals at Sec.  121.1159
incidental to the approval of an FAP for a combination drug, antibiotic
intramammary infusion (29 FR 14624). Section 121.1159 was redesignated
as 21 CFR 135g.42 (35 FR 15372 at 15376) and as Sec.  556.550 (40 FR
13802 at 13956).
    12. Salicylic acid (Sec.  556.590). In 2005, FDA acknowledged the
voluntary withdrawal of approval of salicylic acid for use in cattle
under NADA 010-481 and revoked 21 CFR 529.2090 (70 FR 50181, August 26,
2005), but did not remove the associated tolerance.
    At this time, FDA is revoking the tolerances for 2-acetylamino-5-
nitrothiazole, buquinolate, chlorobutanol, estradiol in lamb,
ethylenediamine, furazolidone, hydrocortisone, methylparaben,
methylprednisolone, prednisolone, prednisone, progesterone in lamb,
propylparaben, and salicylic acid. Accordingly, Sec. Sec.  556.20,
556.140, 556.270, 556.290, 556.320, 556.390, 556.400, 556.520, 556.530,
556.550, and 556.590 are being removed, and Sec. Sec.  556.240 and
556.540 are being amended to reflect the revoked tolerances.
    Also, FDA is amending the animal drug regulations in Sec. Sec.
556.283 and 556.286 to cross reference an approved combination drug
injectable solution containing florfenicol and flunixin (75 FR 1274,
January 11, 2010). FDA is further amending Sec.  556.286 to reflect the
marker residue in milk for residues of flunixin meglumine. This action
is being taken to comply with section. 512(i) of the FD&C Act and to
improve the accuracy of the regulations.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and
Recycling Organics: Request for Public Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have
developed the Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste
and Recycling Organics (``draft Strategy'') to help prevent the loss
and waste of food, where possible, increase recycling of food and other
organic materials to support a more circular economy for all, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, save households and businesses money, and
build cleaner and healthier communities. Individually and collectively,
the EPA, USDA and FDA are working toward reducing food loss and waste
through their Federal interagency collaboration. This Notice provides
the public with an opportunity to share input on the draft Strategy,
which identifies the EPA, USDA and FDA actions and asks where they can
work collaboratively with each other and partners to reduce food loss
and waste and recycle organics. These Federal agencies are seeking
public comment from diverse partners across the food system. The EPA,
USDA and FDA will consider the comments received on this draft
Strategy, finalize it, and begin implementation of the final Strategy
in 2024.

II. General Information

A. What is the purpose of this request for public comment?

    The Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and
Recycling Organics aims to prevent the loss and waste of food, where
possible; increase recycling of food and other organic materials to
support a more circular economy for all, reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, save households and businesses money, and build cleaner,
healthier communities. The three Federal agencies have a formal
interagency agreement focusing on the cooperation and coordination of
efforts to reduce food loss and waste. To achieve the desired results,
the EPA, USDA and FDA are seeking input from diverse partners--
including local, State, Tribal, and territorial governments;
professional and industry associations; individuals, private companies,
and those working in food and agricultural industries; academic
institutions; and non-governmental and community-based organizations.
The actions detailed in this draft Strategy will help the U.S. meet its
National Food Loss and Waste Reduction Goal to halve food loss and
waste and contribute to the National Recycling Goal to achieve a 50
percent recycling rate by 2030, as well as contribute to global
achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal Target
12.3. Preventing food loss and waste and recycling food and other
organic waste will also reduce landfill methane emissions, in support
of the U.S. Methane Emissions Reduction Action Plan, which identified
food waste prevention and organic waste diversion as the top two
methane emissions reduction strategies for municipal solid waste.
    The draft Strategy identifies concrete steps, and complementary
EPA, USDA, and FDA actions, that will help accelerate the prevention of
food loss and waste, where possible, and recycling of the remainder
with other organic waste, across the entire supply chain.
    The EPA, USDA and FDA are seeking input from individuals and
partners on what additional EPA, USDA and FDA actions should be
included or modified in the Strategy and how best to collaborate on
those efforts with each other and partners across the food system.
Specific actions ultimately adopted will be informed by evidence-based
research to the extent available and partner engagement, implemented
through technical and financial assistance, pilots and programs, and
policies, where appropriate and be within each agencies' legal
authorities. The EPA, USDA and FDA will consider the comments received
on this draft Strategy, finalize it, and begin implementation of the
final Strategy in 2024.
