Privacy Act of 1974: Implementation of Exemptions; DOT/ALL 24--
Departmental Office of Civil Rights System System of Records

AGENCY: Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the Secretary
(OST).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Transportation is issuing a final rule to
amend its regulations to exempt portions of a newly established or
updated and reissued system of records titled, ``DOT/ALL 24--
Departmental Office of Civil Rights System'' from certain provisions of
the Privacy Act. Specifically, the Department exempts portions of the
``DOT/ALL 24--Departmental Office of Civil Rights System'' from one or
more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and
administrative enforcement requirements.

DATES: This final rule is effective April 3, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Claire W. Barrett, Departmental Chief
Privacy Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington,
DC 20590 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the Secretary
(OST) published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register
(76 FR 71930) November 21, 2011, proposing to exempt portions of the
system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act
because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement
requirements. The system of records that is the subject of the notice
of proposed rulemaking is the DOT/ALL 24--Departmental Office of Civil
Rights System of Records. The DOT/ALL 24--Departmental Office of Civil
Rights System system of records notice was published in the Federal
Register (76 FR 71108) November 16, 2011, and comments were invited on
both the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and System of Records
Notice (SORN). The notice of proposed rulemaking was inadvertently
published under RIN 2105-AD11, and was entitled ``Maintenance of and
Access to Records Pertaining to Individuals; Proposed Exemption.'' In
addition, the notice of proposed rulemaking indicated that the proposed
rule would add a new paragraph 8 to Part II.A of the Appendix to Part
10. The notice of proposed rulemaking should have stated that the
proposed rule would add a new paragraph 9 to Part II.A of the Appendix
to Part 10. The final rule has been revised accordingly.

Public Comments

    DOT received no comments on the NPRM and no comments on the SORN.

Regulatory Analysis and Notices

    This final rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' within
the meaning of Executive Order 12886. It is also not significant within
the definition in DOT's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, 49 FR 11034
(1979), in part because it does not involve any change in important
Departmental policies. Because the economic impact should be minimal,
further regulatory evaluation is not necessary. Moreover, I certify
that this rule does not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, because the reporting
requirements, themselves, are not changed and because it applies only
to information on individuals that is maintained by the Federal
Government.
    This rule does not significantly affect the environment, and
therefore an environmental impact statement is not required under the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It has also been reviewed
under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, and it has been determined
that it does not have sufficient implications for federalism to warrant
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
    This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 13084 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because it has no
effect on Indian Tribal Governments, the funding and consultation
requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not apply.
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an
agency to review regulations to assess their impact on small entities
unless the agency determines that a rule is not expected to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
I hereby certify that this rule does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule imposes no new information reporting or record keeping
necessitating clearance by the Office of

Management and Budget. The Department has determined that the
requirements of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do
not apply to this document.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 10

    Privacy.

    In consideration of the foregoing, DOT amends Part 10 of Title 49,
Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2018-0254, dated November 23, 2018 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all 328 Support
Services GmbH Model 328-100 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Dornier 328 Maintenance Review Board Report provides
instructions for a detailed inspection for the roll spoilers,
including the bearing arms, by eddy current [EC] method. It was
reported that whilst performing Maintenance Planning Document Task
57-71-03-02-01, referring to Non-Destructive Test (NDT) Manual task
57-71-03-318-000-AA0, the stacking of 6 parts at the bearing arm No.
3 prevents detection of cracks with the given EC test settings. The
NDT results are distorted by geometric features such as part edges
and fastener installations. Furthermore, the access to certain areas
is limited for the suggested NDT probe for geometrical reasons. The
result of the technical investigation identified that undetected
cracks may develop at the roll spoiler bearing arms, leading to a
broken (disconnected) bearing arm No. 3, where the actuator is
connected.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to a
roll spoiler becoming unresponsive to flight crew control inputs,
possibly resulting in loss of control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, 328 SSG published
the ASB [328 Support Services Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-57-043,
dated September 21, 2018] to provide appropriate inspection
instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time NDT inspection of the affected parts and, depending on
findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s) [repair
of cracked parts].

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-
0117.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    328 Support Services has issued Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-57-
043, dated September 21, 2018. This service information describes
procedures for a one-time NDT inspection for cracks in the roll spoiler
bearing arms. This service information is reasonably available because
the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    Although the MCAI and 328 Support Services Alert Service Bulletin
ASB-328-57-043, dated September 21, 2018, specify to submit certain
information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that
requirement.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 27 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 work-hours x $85 per hour = $680...........................              $0             $680          $18,360
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP23-466-000]

Great Basin Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Great
Basin 2024 Expansion Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental document, that will discuss
the environmental impacts of the Great Basin 2024 Expansion Project
(Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by Great
Basin Gas Transmission Company (Great Basin) in Douglas, Lyon, and
Storey Counties, Nevada. The Commission will use this environmental
document in its decision-making process to determine whether the
Project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies regarding the Project. As part of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) review process, the Commission takes into account
concerns the public may have about proposals and the environmental
impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. This
gathering of public input is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal
of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the environmental
document on the important environmental issues. Additional information
about the Commission's NEPA process is described below in the NEPA
Process and Environmental Document section of this notice.
    By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the
scope of issues to address in the environmental document. To ensure
that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC, on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 17, 2023. Comments may be
submitted in written form. Further details on how to submit comments
are provided in the Public Participation section of this notice.
    Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what
issues they need to evaluate in the environmental document. Commission
staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the
environmental document.
    If you submitted comments on this Project to the Commission before
the opening of this docket on May 1, 2023, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. CP23-466-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the Project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law. The Commission does
not subsequently grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise of that
eminent domain authority. The courts have exclusive authority to handle
eminent domain cases; the Commission has no jurisdiction over these
matters.
    Great Basin provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the
FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do
I Need To Know?'' which addresses typically asked questions, including
the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's
proceedings. This fact sheet along with other landowner topics of
interest are available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov)
under the Natural Gas, Landowner Topics link.

Public Participation

    There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the
Commission. Please carefully follow these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded. The Commission encourages electronic

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
    Additionally, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which makes it easy to stay informed of all issuances and
submittals regarding the dockets/projects to which you subscribe. These
instant email notifications are the fastest way to receive notification
and provide a link to the document files which can reduce the amount of
time you spend researching proceedings. Go to https://

www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to register for eSubscription.
    The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
environmental justice communities, Tribal members and others, access
publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For
public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is
encouraged to contact OPP at<PHONE_NUMBER> or [email protected].

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Great Basin proposes to expand its certificated natural gas
transportation capacity downstream of its existing Wadsworth Receipt
Point in Douglas, Lyon, and Storey Counties, Nevada. According to Great
Basin, the Project would provide 5.7 million standard cubic feet
(MMscf) per day of incremental firm transportation service to meet the
growth requirements of two existing firm transportation shippers
(Southwest Gas-NN and Southwest Gas-NC). The expansion would require
construction of approximately 3.41 miles of upsized or looped pipeline
in three segments along Great Basin's Carson and South Tahoe Laterals.
    The Project would consist of the following facilities and
activities:
     installation of approximately 0.25 miles of new 20-inch-
diameter steel pipeline loop (Truckee Canal segment) \1\ along the
Carson Lateral in Storey County, Nevada;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to
an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     abandonment and replacement of approximately 2.88 miles of
existing 10-inch-diameter steel pipeline with new 20-inch-diameter
steel pipeline (Silver Springs segment) along the Carson Lateral in
Lyon County, Nevada;
     installation of approximately 0.28 miles of 12-inch-
diameter steel pipeline loop (Kingsbury segment) along the South Tahoe
Lateral in Douglas County, Nevada; and
     installation and abandonment of associated auxiliary or
appurtenant facilities.
    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary''. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice. At
this time, the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's
Public Reference Room. For assistance, contact FERC at
[email protected] or call toll free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY
(202) 502-8659.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the Project would disturb about 54.3 acres of land.
Following construction, Great Basin would maintain 21.0 acres for
permanent operation of the Project's facilities; the remaining acreage
would be restored and revert to former uses. About 48.5% (26.3 acres)
of the construction footprint would overlap with existing pipeline
rights-of-way or existing Great Basin facilities. Approximately 90.0%
(18.89 acres) of the operational footprint for the Project would
overlap with existing operational footprints of other Great Basin
facilities.

NEPA Process and the Environmental Document

    Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss
impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation
of the proposed Project under the relevant general resource areas:
     geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     threatened and endangered species;
     cultural resources;
     land use and visual resources;
     socioeconomics and traffic;
     environmental justice;
     air quality and noise; and
     reliability and safety.
    Commission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the
proposed Project or portions of the Project and make recommendations on
how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas. Your
comments will help Commission staff identify and focus on the issues
that might have an effect on the human environment and potentially
eliminate others from further study and discussion in the environmental
document.
    Following this scoping period, Commission staff will determine
whether to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the EIS will present Commission
staff's independent analysis of the issues. If Commission staff
prepares an EA, a Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an
Environmental Assessment will be issued. The EA may be issued for an
allotted public comment period. The Commission would consider timely
comments on the EA before making its decision regarding the proposed
Project. If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an EIS/Notice of Schedule will be issued, which will open an
additional comment period. Staff will then prepare a draft EIS which
will be issued for public comment. Commission staff will consider all
timely comments received during the comment period on the draft EIS and
revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. Any EA
or draft and final EIS will be available in electronic format in the
public record through eLibrary \3\ and the Commission's natural gas
environmental documents web page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). If eSubscribed, you
will receive instant email notification when the environmental document
is issued.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the
last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With this notice, the Commission is asking agencies with
jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the
environmental issues of this Project to formally cooperate in the
preparation of the environmental document.\4\ Agencies that would like
to request cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for
filing comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, section 1501.8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultation Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, the Commission is using this notice to initiate
consultation with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s),
and to solicit their views and those of other government agencies,
interested Indian tribes, and the public on the Project's potential
effects on historic properties.\5\ The environmental document for this
Project will document findings on the impacts on historic properties
and summarize the status of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other

interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for Project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the Project and includes a mailing address with their
comments. Commission staff will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that Commission notices related to
this environmental review are sent to all individuals, organizations,
and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by
the proposed Project.
    If you need to make changes to your name/address, or if you would

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


1.  Regarding its public housing inventory (under Section 9 of the Housing Act of 1937; see Lead Safe Housing Rule subpart L), per the New York City Housing Authority Lead Action Plan, January 21, 2020, sec. B.1, pars. 1 and 3, p. 4:

      NYCHA owns and operates 172,447 apartments in 2,291 buildings across 311 developments.  Of these, approximately 134,000 apartments across 277 developments are in buildings constructed prior to 1978.

      In the 2000s, NYCHA retained qualified vendors to conduct LBP inspections pursuant to the HUD Guidelines. Through this testing initiative, NYCHA identified 92 developments as having at least some LBP components in their apartments, and 277 developments as having at least some LBP components in their common areas.

As noted, about 134,000 apartments are in pre-1978 buildings and may have lead-based paint.  If needed for the Agency's analysis, the number of apartments that have lead-based paint may be estimated by multiplying that number by the fraction of pre-1978 developments with apartments that have some LBP components, i.e., 92/277 (33.2%), yielding (rounded to thousands, as in the 134,000 estimate), about 45,000 NYCHA public housing apartments with lead-based paint.

2.  Regarding NYCHA's project-based rental assistance (PBRA) housing inventory (under Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937; see Lead Safe Housing Rule subpart H), HUD's Inventory Management/Public Housing Information Center (IMS/PIC) system shows, through its HA Profiles Details website (https://pic.hud.gov/pic/haprofiles/haprofiledetails.asp) (selecting for New York State and then NYCHA's HA Code of NY005) that NYCHA's section 8 inventory as of 9/17/2020 included 104,145 housing units.  This inventory is reasonably expected to be older than NYCHA's public housing inventory, which, as above, has 89% of its developments being of pre-1978 construction.  It is reasonable, therefore, to estimate that all of NYCHA's section 8 inventory is of pre-1978 construction.

Unlike NYCHA's public housing inventory, its PBRA inventory was not the subject of HUD lead-based paint removal efforts in the 1970s and forward.  Accordingly, the estimates from the American Healthy Homes Survey I (AHHS I, conducted in 2005-2006) Table 4-1 on lead-based paint prevalence can be used:  First, for the Northeast Census Region, in which New York is located, 60.5% of housing units built before 1978 had lead-based paint, and, second, the relative prevalence of lead-based paint in Government-supported housing is 74.6% of that in housing overall; combining these yields an estimate of 45.1% of Government-supported Northeast housing having lead-based paint.

Assuming, as above that NYCHA's 104,145 PBRA housing units are pre-1978 and of them, 45.1% have lead-based paint, yields an estimate (rounded to thousands) of about 47,000 NYCHA PBRA units with lead-based paint.

3.  For the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), for which its HA Code is NY110, HUD's IMS/PIC database's HA Profiles Details website (URL above) shows HPD's section 8 inventory, which is primarily housing choice voucher units (see Lead Safe Housing Rule subpart M), as of 9/12/2020 as 37,353 housing units.  Using the same housing age and Government support characteristic factors as in section 2 above, it is estimated that 45.1% of the 37,353 units, or (rounded to thousands) about 17,000 HPD housing choice voucher units have lead-based paint.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0031]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Substances Generally Recognized as Safe: Notification
Procedure

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
provisions of the Notification Procedure for Substances Generally
Recognized as Safe.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by April 13, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonna Capezzuto, Office of Information
Management (HFA-710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,
Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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

Substances Generally Recognized as Safe: Notification Procedure--21 CFR
170.36 and 570.36 (OMB Control Number 0910-0342)--Extension

    Section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act)
(21 U.S.C. 348) establishes a premarket approval requirement for ``food
additives;'' section 201(s) of the act (21 U.S.C. 321) provides an
exemption from the definition of ``food additive'' and thus from the
premarket approval requirement, for uses of substances that are
Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by qualified experts. In April
1997, FDA proposed a voluntary procedure whereby manufacturers would
notify FDA about a view that a particular use (or uses) of a substance
is not subject to the statutory premarket approval requirements based
on a determination that such use is GRAS (62 FR 18938, April 17, 1997).
Proposed Sec. Sec.  170.36 and 570.36 provide a standard format for the
voluntary submission of a notice. The notice would include a detailed
summary of the data and information that support the GRAS
determination, and the notifier would maintain a record of such data
and information. FDA would make the information describing the subject
of the GRAS notice, and the agency's response to the notice, available
in a publicly accessible file; the entire GRAS notice would be publicly
available consistent with the Freedom of Information Act and other
Federal disclosure statutes.
    Description of Respondents: Manufacturers of Substances Used in

    In the proposed rule, FDA estimated that the Center for Food Safety
and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) would receive approximately 50 GRAS
notices per year and that the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM)
would receive approximately 10 GRAS notices per year. Although FDA
requested comment on this estimate, the comments did not provide useful
information regarding this issue. Therefore, FDA evaluated the number
of notices received by CFSAN to date. CFSAN received 274 GRAS notices
during the 11-year period from 1998 through 2008, for an average of
approximately 25 GRAS notices per year. Based on this experience, FDA
is revising its estimate of the annual number of GRAS notices submitted
to CFSAN to be 25 or less. FDA also is revising its estimate of the
annual number of GRAS notices submitted to CVM to be 5 or less.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Biosimilars: Questions and Answers Regarding Implementation
of the

Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009.'' This guidance
provides answers to common questions from sponsors interested in
developing proposed biosimilar products, BLA holders, and other
interested parties regarding FDA's interpretation of the BPCI Act.
    The BPCI Act, enacted as part of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148) on March 23, 2010, created an
abbreviated licensure pathway under section 351(k) of the Public Health
Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 262(k)) for biological products
demonstrated to be biosimilar to, or interchangeable with, an FDA-
licensed reference product. This guidance describes FDA's current
interpretation of certain statutory requirements added by the BPCI Act
and includes Q&As in the following categories:
     Biosimilarity or Interchangeability
     Provisions Related to Requirement to Submit a BLA for a
``Biological Product''
     Exclusivity

The Q&A format is intended to promote transparency and facilitate
development programs for proposed biosimilar products by addressing
questions that may arise in the early stages of development. In
addition, these Q&As respond to questions the Agency has received from
prospective BLA and new drug application (NDA) applicants regarding the
appropriate statutory authority under which certain products will be
regulated.
    In the Federal Register of February 15, 2012 (77 FR 8885), FDA
published a notice announcing the availability of a draft guidance
entitled ``Biosimilars: Questions and Answers Regarding Implementation
of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009.''
Although interested parties can comment on any guidance at any time, to
ensure that the Agency considered comments on the draft guidance before
beginning work on the final version of the guidance, FDA requested that
interested parties submit comments by April 16, 2012. FDA's
consideration of these comments, among other things, is reflected in a
revised draft guidance and this final guidance. This guidance describes
the status of the draft guidance Q&As provided in Revision 1 of the
draft guidance entitled ``Biosimilars: Additional Questions and Answers
Regarding Implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and
Innovation Act of 2009,'' and the status of the final guidance Q&As
that are included in this guidance. FDA intends to update these
guidances to include additional Q&As as appropriate.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
Agency's current thinking on ``Biosimilars: Questions and Answers
Regarding Implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and
Innovation Act of 2009.'' It does not create or confer any rights for
or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An
alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments
may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

III. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to information collection provisions that are
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
submission of an investigational new drug application is covered under
21 CFR part 312 and approved under OMB control number 0910-0014. The
submission of an NDA is covered under 21 CFR 314.50 and approved under
OMB control number 0910-0001. The submission of a BLA under section
351(a) of the PHS Act is covered under part 601 (21 CFR part 601) and
approved under OMB control number 0910-0338. The submission of a BLA
under section 351(k) of the PHS Act is covered under part 601 and
approved under OMB control number 0910-0719. In the Federal Register of
April 1, 2013 (78 FR 19492), FDA published a notice announcing the
availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Formal
Meetings Between the FDA and Biosimilar Biological Product Sponsors or
Applicants.'' The notice contained an analysis of the information
collection burden resulting from the draft guidance, and will be
submitted to OMB for approval before issuance of the final guidance.
