14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31087; Amdt. No. 3705]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective August 4, 2016. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of August 4, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part Sec.  97.20. The
applicable FAA forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A,
and 8260-15B when required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979); and
(3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    In 2007, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) embarked on
a comprehensive review of the entire STCW Convention and STCW Code. The
Coast Guard held public meetings prior to each one of the IMO meetings
in London for the review to determine what positions U.S. delegations
should advocate and to exchange views about amendments to STCW that
were under discussion. In addition, the Coast Guard also took advantage
of advisory committee meetings, specifically Merchant Personnel
Advisory Committee (MERPAC), to discuss developments and implementation
of the requirements relating to the 2010 amendments. The 2010
amendments resulting from that review were adopted on June 25, 2010.
The Convention is not self-implementing; therefore, the United States,
as a signatory to the STCW Convention, must initiate regulatory changes
to ensure full implementation of amendments to the STCW Convention and
STCW Code.
    The Coast Guard proposed, in an SNPRM published in the Federal
Register on August 1, 2001, to implement these provisions, and to
clearly separate the two licensing schemes for STCW and domestic
endorsements, pursuant to the Convention and under the authority of
Title 46, United States Code, section 2103 and chapters 71 and 73.
    Parties to the STCW Convention have port state control authority to
detain vessels that do not appear to be in compliance with the
Convention. If U.S. regulations are non-compliant with the STCW
Convention and STCW Code, there is a risk that U.S. ships will be
detained in foreign ports by member nations and that U.S. mariners
would not be able to seek employment on foreign flag vessels.

Instructions for Submitting Comments

    All submissions received must include the words ``Department of
Homeland Security'' and the docket number for this action. Comments
received will be posted without alteration at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided. You
may review a Privacy Act notice regarding our public dockets in the
January 17, 2008, issue of the Federal Register (73 FR 3316).

    For information on facilities or services for individuals with
disabilities or to request special assistance at the public meetings,

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2216-066-NY]

New York Power Authority; Notice of Intent To Prepare
Environmental Impact Statement

November 7, 2005.
    On August 18, 2005, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) filed an
application for a new license for the continued operation of the 2,538-
megawatt Niagara Power Project (FERC No. 2216-066). On August 19, 2005,
NYPA filed an Offer of Settlement for the new license. The project is
located on the Niagara River in Niagara County, New York. The project
does not occupy any federal lands.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
the Commission's regulations for using the alternative licensing
process,\1\ Commission staff held public scoping meetings for the
Niagara Power Project on August 13, 2003, in Niagara Falls, New York.
Commission staff, state, federal and local agencies, tribes, and the
public participated in the meetings. These scoping meetings and an open
and extensive collaborative relicensing process were used to define the
issues and alternatives addressed in NYPA's application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 81 FERC ] 61,103 (1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on comments received, since the scoping meeting, Commission
staff have determined that licensing the Niagara Power Project could
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore, staff intend to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the project. The staff's EIS will
objectively consider both site-specific and cumulative environmental
impacts of the project and reasonable alternatives, and will include
economic and engineering analyses.
    A draft EIS will be issued and circulated for review by all
interested parties. All comments filed on the draft EIS will be
analyzed by the staff and considered in the final EIS. The staff's
conclusions and recommendations will be available for the consideration
of the Commission in reaching its final licensing decision.
    This notice informs all interested individuals, organizations, and
agencies with environmental expertise and concerns, that: (1) The
Commission staff has decided to prepare an EIS and (2) the scoping
conducted on the Niagara Power Project by Commission staff and comments
filed with the Commission on the application and the Offer of
Settlement will be taken into account in the EIS.
    Any questions regarding this notice may be directed to Steve
Kartalia at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0339]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Gulf of Mexico; Sarasota, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a special local regulation on
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, in the vicinity of Lido Beach,
Florida, during the Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix. Approximately 70
boats and jet skis, traveling at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour
are expected to participate. Additionally, it is anticipated that 100
spectator vessels will be present along the race course. The special
local regulation is necessary to protect the safety of race
participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general public
on certain navigable waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Lido Beach, Florida
during the event. The special local regulation will establish an
enforcement area where all persons and vessels, except those persons
and vessels participating in the high speed boat races, are prohibited
from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within
the regulated area without obtaining permission from the Captain of the
Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule will be enforced daily from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m., on
June 25, 2021 through June 27, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. This temporary
rule references a date change and a change to the regulated area to an
annual recurring special local regulation that already exists in 33 CFR
100.703, Table 1 to 100.703, Line 5. For this year, we received the
date changes and the coordinate changes from the Sarasota Powerboat
Grand Prix/Powerboat P-1 USA, LLC with insufficient time to publish an
NPRM and receive public comment on these changes, as the Sarasota
Powerboat Grand Prix event will occur before the rulemaking process
would be completed. Because of the dangers associated with high speed
boat races, the regulation is necessary to provide for the safety of
event participants, spectators, and vessels transiting the event area.
For those reasons, it would be impracticable to publish an NPRM.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with Sarasota Grand
Prix.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Captain of the Port St. Petersburg has determined that
potential hazards associated with the race will be a danger to anyone
within the regulated area. The purpose of the rule is to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waters of the United States during the
Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a special local regulation that will
encompass certain waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Lido Beach, Florida.
The special local regulation will be enforced daily from 10 a.m. to 7
p.m. on June 25, 2021 through June 27, 2021. The special local
regulation will establish an enforcement area where all persons and
vessels, except those persons and vessels participating in the high
speed boat races, are prohibited from entering, transiting through,
anchoring in, or remaining within without obtaining permission from the
COTP St. Petersburg or a designated representative.
    Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area by contacting
the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg (COTP) by telephone at (727)
824-7506, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16.
If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the regulated area is granted by the COTP or a designated
representative, all persons and vessels receiving such authorization
must comply with the instructions of the COTP or a designated
representative. The Coast Guard will provide notice of the special
local regulation by Local Notice to Mariners and/or Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on: (1) The special
local regulation will be enforced for eight hours on three days; (2)
although persons and vessels may not enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain within the regulated area without authorization from the COTP
or a designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding
area during the enforcement period; (3) persons and vessels may still
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
if authorized by the COTP or a designated representative; and (4) the
Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the special local
regulation to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners
and/or Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
special local regulation issued in conjunction with a regatta or marine
parade. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L61of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-
001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket. For instructions on locating
the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    We are announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Substantiation for Structure/Function Claims Made in Infant
Formula Labels and Labeling.'' We are issuing this draft guidance
consistent with our good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent our current

thinking on substantiation of structure/function claims in infant
formula labels and labeling. It does not establish any rights for any
person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternate approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations.
    The draft guidance, when finalized, will describe the type and
quality of evidence we recommend that infant formula manufacturers and
distributors have in their records to substantiate their structure/
function claims in the labeling of infant formulas. It will describe
what we believe to be competent and reliable scientific evidence to
substantiate structure/function claims in the context of infant
formulas.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance contains proposed information collection
provisions that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501-3520). ``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 for each proposed collection of
information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of the
proposed collection of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the collection of information associated with this
draft guidance, we invite 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 collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the information collected on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information
technology.
    Title: Recommended Recordkeeping to Substantiate Structure/Function
Claims Made in Infant Formula Labels and Labeling (OMB Control Number
0910--NEW).
    Description of respondents: This new collection of information
would be performed by infant formula manufacturers and distributors.
The records recommended, to the extent practicable, in this draft
guidance would include one-time and annual information collection
burdens pertaining to substantiation of structure/function claims made
by infant formula manufacturers and distributors. In addition, we have
estimated the information collection burden for any future structure/
function claims that would involve controlled studies to generate data
to support those structure/function claims.
    The draft guidance document for industry entitled ``Substantiation
for Structure/Function Claims Made in Infant Formula Labels and
Labeling'' addresses only structure/function claims in infant formula
labeling. It describes the type and quality of evidence we recommend
infant formula manufacturers and distributors have to substantiate
their structure/function claims in labeling of both nonexempt and
exempt infant formulas under section 403(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
343(a)(1)).
    Analysis of Burden Estimates Resulting From Substantiation for
Infant Formula Structure/Function Claims: Infant formula manufacturers
and distributors would only collect information to substantiate their
product's structure/function claim if they choose to place a structure/
function claim on their product's label or labeling. Gathering evidence
on a currently existing claim is estimated to be a one-time burden; the
respondents would collect the substantiating information for their
product pursuant to section 403(a) of the FD&C Act. We recommend that
infant formula manufacturers and distributors accurately maintain the
substantiating materials for these claims in their files. We estimate
that infant formula manufacturers and distributors would seek
substantiation for their claims in intervention studies and the
scientific literature and that this burden will likely be comparable to
the time needed to assemble information for a new infant formula
submission (16 hours). In addition, we estimate, based on information
available to FDA, that there are currently 10 existing structure/
function claims for which infant formula manufacturers would gather
substantiation data. Therefore, the total one-time estimated burden
imposed by this collection of information would be 160 hours (16
estimated information collection hours x 10 estimated existing
structure/function claims), as shown in table 1.
    We have estimated the annual information collection burdens for
maintenance of records related to substantiation of existing structure/
function claims. We estimate that respondents would spend 1 hour
annually maintaining records for each of the 10 estimated currently
existing structure/function claims. Therefore, 1 hour x 10 claims = 10
annual hours, as presented in table 1.
    It is possible that an infant formula manufacturer or distributor
would want to make a structure/function claim for which there is
equivocal or insufficient evidence or no substantiating evidence. In
this case, we estimate that an infant formula manufacturer or
distributor would conduct a controlled study in order to gather data to
substantiate the structure/function claim. It is not possible to know
the frequency with which this may occur; however, we assume that an
infant formula manufacturer or distributor would engage in a controlled
study only if the benefits to the infant formula manufacturer or
distributor were larger than the costs of performing the study. To
account for the possibility that infant formula manufacturers or
distributors would choose to conduct a controlled study for the purpose
of generating data to substantiate a new structure/function claim, in
table 2 we estimate an information collection burden based on one
hypothetical annual controlled study. The burdens of this hypothetical
controlled study are based on averages taken from three sample
controlled studies (Refs. 1, 2, and 3) and estimates an average test
subject size of 153 infants.
    We estimate that a hypothetical controlled study would involve, on
average, four recordkeepers: A principal investigator (e.g., a
physician), a sample collector, one nurse or other health care
professional with similar experience, and a microbiological laboratory
technologist. We estimate that the principal investigator would work,
on average, 3 hours annually to assemble and interpret the data
collected per study period. We estimate that one sample collector would
work an average of 38.25 hours annually (153 infants x 0.25 hours per
infant = 38.25 hours) to collect and record stool samples from infants.
We estimate that one nurse or other health care professional with
similar experience would work an average of 38.25 hours annually (153
infants x 0.25 hours per infant = 38.25 hours) to complete
questionnaires on the samples collected from the infants in the study.
We estimate that a

microbiological laboratory technologist would work an average of 76.5
hours annually (153 infants x 0.5 hours per infant = 76.5 hours) to
prepare and analyze fecal samples taken from infants in the controlled
study. All estimates are shown in table 2. Therefore, a total of 156
additional annual burden hours (3 + 38.25 + 38.25 + 76.5 = 156) are
estimated to account for the information collection burden resulting
from the need to conduct a controlled study in order to gather data to
substantiate a new structure/function claim, or a structure/function
claim that lacks sufficient prior evidence, for a total of 166 total
annual hours (156 + 10 = 166) for the upkeep and generation of
information used to substantiate structure/function claims. Including
the one-time burden of 160 hours annualized over 3 years (160/3 =
53.3), the total annual record keeping burden is 219.3 hours (166 +
53.3 = 219.3). There are no estimated capital costs or operating and
maintenance costs associated with this information collection.

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.

Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish
and Fishery Products--21 CFR Part 123 (OMB Control Number 0910-0354)--
Extension

    FDA regulations in part 123 (21 CFR part 123) mandate the
application of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP)
principles to the processing of seafood. HACCP is a preventive system
of hazard control designed to help ensure the safety of foods. The
regulations were issued under FDA's statutory authority to regulate
food safety, including section 402(a)(1) and (a)(4) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(1) and
(a)(4)).
    Certain provisions in part 123 require that processors and
importers of seafood collect and record information. The HACCP records
compiled and maintained by a seafood processor primarily consist of the
periodic observations recorded at selected monitoring points during
processing and packaging operations, as called for in a processor's
HACCP plan (e.g., the values for processing times, temperatures,
acidity, etc., as observed at critical control points). The primary
purpose of HACCP records is to permit a processor to verify that
products have been produced within carefully established processing
parameters (critical limits) that ensure that hazards have been
avoided.
    HACCP records are normally reviewed by appropriately trained
employees at the end of a production lot or at the end of a day or week
of production to verify that control limits have been maintained, or
that appropriate corrective actions were taken if the critical limits
were not maintained. Such verification activities are essential to
ensure that the HACCP system is working as planned. A review of these
records during the conduct of periodic plant inspections also permits
FDA to determine whether the products have been consistently processed
in conformance with appropriate HACCP food safety controls.
    Section 123.12 requires that importers of seafood products take
affirmative steps and maintain records that verify that the fish and
fishery products they offer for import into the United States were
processed in accordance with the HACCP and sanitation provisions set
forth in part 123. These records are also to be made available for
review by FDA as provided in Sec.  123.12(c).
    The time and costs of these recordkeeping activities will vary
considerably among processors and importers of fish and fishery
products, depending on the type and number of products involved, and on
the nature of the equipment or instruments required to monitor critical
control points. The burden estimate in Table 1 of this document
includes only those collections of information under the seafood HACCP
regulations that are not already required under other statutes and
regulations. The estimate also does not include collections of
information that are a usual and customary part of businesses' normal
activities. For example, the tagging and labeling of molluscan
shellfish (21 CFR 1240.60) is a customary and usual practice among
seafood processors. Consequently, the estimates in Table 1 account only
for information collection and recording requirements attributable to
part 123.
    Description of respondents: Respondents to this collection of
information include processors and importers of seafood.
    In the Federal Register of August 6, 2013 (78 FR 47701), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received in response to the
notice.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.
\2\ These estimates include the information collection requirements in the following sections: Sec.   123.16--
  Smoked Fish--process controls (see Sec.   123.6(b)); Sec.   123.28(a)--Source Controls--molluscan shellfish
  (see Sec.   123.6(b)); Sec.   123.28(c) and (d)--Records--molluscan shellfish (see Sec.   123.6(c)(7)).
\3\ Based on an estimated 280 working days per year.
\4\ Estimated average time per 8-hour work day unless one-time response.

    We base this hour burden estimate on its experience with the
application of HACCP principles in food processing. Further, the
burdens have been estimated using typical small seafood processing
firms as a model because these firms represent a significant proportion
of the industry. The hour burden of HACCP recordkeeping activities will
vary considerably among processors and importers of fish and fishery
products, depending on the size of the facility and complexity of the
HACCP control scheme (i.e., the number of products and the number of
hazards controlled); the daily frequency that control points are
monitored and values recorded; and also on the extent that data
recording time and cost are minimized by the use of automated data
logging technology. The burden estimate does not include burden hours
for activities that are a usual and customary part of businesses'
normal activities. For example, the tagging and labeling of molluscan
shellfish (21 CFR 1240.60) is a customary and usual practice among
seafood processors. Based on our records, we estimate that there are
15,000 processors and 4,100 importers.
    We estimate that 50 processors will undertake the initial
preparation of a hazard analysis and HACCP plan (Sec.  123.6(a),(b),
and (c)). We estimate the burden for the initial preparation of a
hazard analysis and HACCP plan to be 16 hours per processor for a total
burden of 800 hours. We estimate that all processors (15,000
processors) will undertake and keep records of four corrective action
plans (Sec.  123.6(c)(5)) for a total of 60,000 records. We estimate
the burden for the preparation of each record to be 0.30 hours for a
total burden of 18,000 hours.
    We estimate that all processors (15,000 processors) will annually
reassess their hazard analysis and HACCP plan (Sec.  123.8(a)(1) and
(c)). We estimate the burden for the reassessment of the hazard
analysis and HACCP plan to be 4 hours per processor for a total burden
of 60,000 hours.
    We estimate that all importers (4,100 importers) will take
affirmative steps to verify compliance of imports and prepare 80
records of their verification activities (Sec.  123.12(a)(2)(ii)) for a
total of 328,000 records. We estimate the burden for the preparation of
each record to be 0.20 hours for a total burden of 65,600 hours.
    We estimate that all processors (15,000 processors) will document
the monitoring of critical control points (Sec.  123.6(c)(7)) at 280
records per processor for a total of 4,200,000 records. We estimate the
burden for the preparation of each record to be 0.30 hours for a total
burden of 1,260,000 hours.
    We estimate that 40 percent of all processors (6,000 processors)
will maintain records of any corrective actions taken due to a
deviation from a critical limit (Sec.  123.7(d) at four records per
processor for a total of 24,000 records. We estimate the burden for the
preparation of each record to be 0.10 hours for a total burden of 2,400
hours.
    We estimate that all processors (15,000 processors) will maintain
records of the calibration of process-monitoring instruments and the
performing of any periodic end-product and in-process testing (Sec.
123.8(d)) at 47 records per processor for a total of 705,000 records.
We estimate the burden for the preparation of each record to be 0.10
hours for a total burden of 70,500 hours.
    We estimate that all processors (15,000 processors) will maintain
sanitation control records (Sec.  123.11(c)) at 280 records per
processor for a total of 4,200,000 records. We estimate the burden for
the preparation of each record to be 0.10 hours for a total burden of
420,000 hours.
    We estimate that all importers (4,100 importers) will maintain
records that verify that the fish and fishery products they offer for
import into the United States were processed in accordance with the
HACCP and sanitation provisions set forth in part 123 (Sec.
123.12(c)). FDA estimates that 80 records will be prepared per importer
for a total of 328,000 records. FDA estimates the burden for the
preparation of each record to be 0.10 hours for a total burden of
32,800 hours.
    We estimate that one percent of all importers (41 importers) will
require new written verification procedures to verify compliance of
imports (Sec.  123.12(a)(2)). We estimate the burden for preparing the
new procedures to be 4 hours per importer for a total burden of 164
hours.

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0120]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated January 17, 2013, Railserve, Inc. (RASX) petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49
CFR part 223, Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and
Cabooses. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0120.
    RASX of Atlanta, GA, petitioned for a waiver of compliance for one
locomotive from the requirements of 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for
existing locomotives, which require certified glazing in all windows.
The reporting mark on this locomotive is RASX 169. This locomotive is
used in switching operations inside the Chevron Plant in Port Arthur,
TX. The switching operations involved interchange with the Norfolk
Southern Railway for inbound and outbound cars on general system
railroad trackage that is less than one-half of a mile long. RASX
stated that there is no history of vandalism at the Chevron Port
Arthur, TX, plant and that the locomotive is parked inside the plant
when not in use. The top speed of operations is 5 mph. RASX also stated
that to install glass that meets FRA specifications would be cost
prohibitive.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
