Updated Legal Authority Citations

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule updates the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) legal
authority citations in the National Security Industrial Base
Regulations (NSIBR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
The citation updates reflect recent editorial reclassifications within
the United States Code, the repeal of certain statutory authorities,
the continuation of an emergency declared in an executive order, and
minor stylistic edits. This is a non-substantive rule that only updates
legal authority paragraphs of the NSIBR and the EAR. It does not alter
any right, obligation or prohibition that applies to any person under
the NSIBR or the EAR.

DATES: The rule is effective February 29, 2016.

Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Authority for various parts of 15 CFR Chapter VII is based on the
Defense Production Act of 1950 as amended, the Military Selective
Service Act, the Export Administration Act of 1979 as amended and the
Trading with the Enemy Act. This rule updates authority citations in 15
CFR Chapter VII to include the most recent applicable United States
Code (``U.S.C.'') citations for those statutes. Additionally, the
authority for parts 730 and 744 of that chapter rests, in part, on
Executive Order 12947--Prohibiting Transactions With Respect to
Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process (60 FR
5079, 3 CFR, 1995 Comp., p. 356) and on the annual notice continuing
the emergency declared in that executive order. This rule updates the
authority citations for those parts to cite the most recent such
notice. This rule also removes citations to Section 103 of the Energy
Policy and Conservation Act, which has been repealed, and adds
citations to the Annual Compilation of Presidential Documents for
Presidential documents that have been compiled therein. Finally, this
rule makes stylistic edits to conform citations to the style prescribed
in the Federal Register Document Drafting Handbook.
    The specific reasons for the revisions are as follows:
     Parts 700, 701 and 702 to cite the most recent U.S.C.
codification of the Defense Production Act of 1950 as amended;
     Part 700 to cite the most recent U.S.C. codification of
the Military Selective Service Act;
     Parts 730 through 744 and 746 through 774 to cite the most
recent U.S.C. codification of the Export Administration Act;
     Parts 730, 738, 754 and 774 to remove the citation to
Section 103 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, 42 U.S.C. 6212,
which dealt with, inter alia, restrictions on exports of crude oil and
has been repealed;
     Parts 730, 738 and 774 to cite the most recent U.S.C.
codification of the Trading With the Enemy Act;
     Parts 730 and 744 to cite the presidential notice of
January 22, 2016 continuing the emergency declared in E.O. 12947; and
     Parts 743, 746, 747 and 750 to cite the Title 3 CFR Annual
Compilation of Presidential Documents for Presidential documents that
have been compiled therein.
    All other changes to the authority citations made by this rule are
stylistic changes made to conform to the style of the Federal Register
Document Drafting Handbook.
    This rule is purely procedural, and makes no changes other than to
revise CFR authority paragraphs for the purpose of making the authority
citations current and to conform to Federal Register Document Drafting
Handbook style. It does not change the text of any section of Chapter
VII nor does it alter any right, obligation or prohibition that applies
to any person under that chapter.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). This rule
does not impose any regulatory burden on the public and is consistent
with the goals of Executive Order 13563. This rule has been determined
to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule
does not involve any collection of information.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act
requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because
they are unnecessary. This rule only updates legal authority citations.
It clarifies information and is non-discretionary. This rule does not
alter any right, obligation or prohibition that applies to any person
under the EAR. Because these revisions are not substantive changes, it
is unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. In
addition, the 30-day delay in effectiveness otherwise required by 5
U.S.C. 553(d) is not applicable because this rule is not a substantive
rule. Because neither the Administrative Procedure Act nor any other
law requires that notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment be given for this rule, the analytical requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not
applicable. Accordingly, no Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is
required and none has been prepared.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2009-E-0056]

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; BANZEL

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for BANZEL and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of an application to the Director of Patents
and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent
which claims that human drug product.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments and petitions to the Division of
Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630
Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments
to http://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of Regulatory
Policy, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg.
51, rm. 6222, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Public Law 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase
and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA recently approved for marketing the human drug product BANZEL
(rufinamide). BANZEL is indicated for adjunctive treatment of seizures
associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in children 4 years and older
and adults. Subsequent to this approval, the Patent and Trademark
Office received a patent term restoration application for BANZEL (U.S.
Patent No. 6,740,669) from Novartis AG, and the Patent and Trademark
Office requested FDA's assistance in determining this patent's
eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated February 26,
2009, FDA advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this human drug
product had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval
of BANZEL represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use
of the product. Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark Office requested
that FDA determine the product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
BANZEL is 6,595 days. Of this time, 5,501 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 1,094 days
occurred during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived
from the following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective:
October 27, 1990. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the date
the investigational new drug application became effective was on
October 27, 1990.

    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the act: November 17,
2005. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) 21-911 for BANZEL was initially submitted on November
17, 2005.
    3. The date the application was approved: November 14, 2008. FDA
has verified the applicant's claim that NDA 21-911 was approved on
November 14, 2008.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in
its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
application for patent extension, this applicant seeks 819 days of
patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments and ask for a redetermination
by November 3, 2009. Furthermore, any interested person may petition
FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for extension
acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period by March
3, 2010. To meet its burden, the petition must contain sufficient facts
to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong.,
2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified
in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Comments and petitions should be submitted to the Division of
Dockets Management. Three copies of any mailed information are to be
submitted, except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to
be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading
of this document. Comments and petitions may be seen in the Division of
Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

NOTICE REVISING PROCEDURAL SCHEDULE

On June 13, 2002, the Department issued a Notice establishing a
procedural schedule in the above-captioned matter, whereby applications
or supplemented applications are due June 27, 2002, answers thereto are
due July 8, 2002, and replies are due July 15, 2002.

On June 17, 2002, American Airlines, Inc., Delta Air Lines, Inc.,
Northwest Airlines, Inc., and United Air Lines, Inc. (the “Movants”)
filed a joint motion to change the procedural dates in the
above-captioned matter.

The Movants request that the answer period established by the
Department’s June 13, 2002, Notice be changed from July 8, 2002, to
July 12, 2002, and that the reply date be changed from July 15, 2002, to
July 19, 2002.  The Movants note that the present July 8 date falls on
the Monday following the long July 4 weekend and that in effect the
applicants would have only until July 3 to complete their answers absent
the extension requested.  They state that in this proceeding, the
applicants’ answers constitute their principal opportunity to
demonstrate the comparative merits of their respective proposals and
that the requested extension will facilitate the development of a
complete record for the Department’s consideration, and will not
materially delay the Department’s decision.

The Movants have requested a modest extension for the answer and reply
periods.  We believe, in the circumstances presented, that no interested
party will be harmed by grant of the requested extension.

Therefore, we shall, acting under authority assigned in 14 CFR 385.3,
require that answers in the above-captioned proceeding shall now be
filed no later than July 12, 2002, and replies shall now be filed no
later than July 19, 2002.  As noted in the Department’s June 13, 2002,
Notice, service of documents may be by facsimile and by electronic mail.

We will serve this notice by facsimile on all carriers served with the
Department’s June 13, 2002, Notice.

[Docket No. CP07-178-000]

MIGC, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

April 26, 2007.
    Take notice that on April 20, 2007, MIGC, Inc. (MIGC), 1099 18th
Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80202, filed in Docket No. CP07-
178-000, an application pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208, and
157.210 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA)
as amended, to construct and operate a new compressor station in
Converse County, Wyoming, under MIGC's blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-409-000, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to the public for
inspection.
    MIGC proposes to construct the Python compressor station which will
consist of one modular CAT 3608 driver with an Ariel JGD-4 single stage
2370 horsepower (HP) compressor unit and appurtenant facilities. The
proposed Python compressor station would provide MIGC's customers with
access to additional natural gas supplies in the Powder River basin.
Anadarko Energy Services, Inc. (AESC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (APC), has requested MIGC to expand its
mainline system capacity to handle additional natural gas volumes. MIGC
states that its mainline system is currently capable of transporting
130,000 Mcf per day (Mcf/d) on a sustainable peak day firm basis to the
southern end of its system. MIGC

also states that by adding compression on the southern portion of its
mainline, it can accommodate up to an additional 45,000 Mcf/d of
natural gas on a sustainable firm basis for southern deliveries in
order to bring this additional production to market. MIGC estimates
that it would cost $3,862,400 to construct the proposed Python
compressor station. MIGC would finance the proposed construction with
available funds and/or short-term borrowings.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Nancy
Garfield, Senior Commercial Development Representative, MIGC, Inc.,
1099 18th Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado, or telephone 303-252-
