SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. IDFA and NMPF Petition

    The IDFA and NMPF jointly submitted a citizen petition (Ref. 1) on
March 16, 2009, requesting that FDA amend the standard of identity in
part 131 (21 CFR part 131) for milk (Sec.  131.110). Specifically, the
petition requests that FDA amend Sec.  131.110(c)(2) to allow the use
of ``any safe and suitable'' sweetener in optional characterizing
flavoring ingredients used in milk.\1\ The petition also requests that
FDA similarly amend the standards of identity for 17 other milk and
cream products. Those standards (hereinafter referred to as the
``additional dairy standards'') are as follows: Acidified milk (Sec.
131.111), cultured milk (Sec.  131.112), sweetened condensed milk
(Sec.  131.120), nonfat dry milk (Sec.  131.125), nonfat dry milk
fortified with vitamins A and D (Sec.  131.127), evaporated milk (Sec.
131.130), dry cream (Sec.  131.149), heavy cream (Sec.  131.150), light
cream (Sec.  131.155), light whipping cream (Sec.  131.157), sour cream
(Sec.  131.160), acidified sour cream (Sec.  131.162), eggnog (Sec.
131.170), half-and-half (Sec.  131.180), yogurt (Sec.  131.200), lowfat
yogurt (Sec.  131.203), and nonfat yogurt (Sec.  131.206). The petition
asks that the standards of identity for these products be amended to
provide for the use of any safe and suitable sweetener in the optional
ingredients.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 131.110(c)(2) currently allows the use of
``nutritive sweetener'' in optional characterizing flavoring
ingredients used in milk.
    \2\ The National Yogurt Association (NYA) submitted a citizen
petition on February 18, 2000 (Docket No. FDA-2000-P-0126) that
requested that FDA make similar changes to the standards of identity
for yogurt and cultured milk. Among other requested changes, the NYA
petition asked that FDA amend the standards of identity for yogurt
and cultured milk to permit the use of all safe and suitable
sweeteners, while also revoking the standards of identity for lowfat
and nonfat yogurt. In 2009, FDA proposed to grant the petition in
part, and to deny it in part. See ``Milk and Cream Products and
Yogurt Products; Proposal to Revoke the Standards for Lowfat and
Nonfat Yogurt and to Amend the Standard for Yogurt'' (74 FR 2443,
January 15, 2009). Thus, FDA has already requested comments on
issues that are similar to the issues IDFA and NMPF raise with
respect to yogurt, lowfat yogurt, nonfat yogurt, and cultured milk,
and is addressing those issues through the rulemaking initiated in
response to NYA's petition. Therefore, FDA is not currently
requesting comments on IDFA and NMPF's suggested amendments to the
yogurt, lowfat yogurt, nonfat yogurt, and cultured milk standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IDFA and NMPF request their proposed amendments to the milk
standard of identity to allow optional characterizing flavoring
ingredients used in milk (e.g., chocolate flavoring added to milk) to
be sweetened with any safe and suitable sweetener--including non-
nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame. IDFA and NMPF state that the
proposed amendments would promote more healthful eating practices and
reduce childhood obesity by providing for lower-calorie flavored milk
products. They state that lower-calorie flavored milk would
particularly benefit school children who, according to IDFA and NMPF,
are more inclined to drink flavored milk than unflavored milk at
school. As further support for the petition, IDFA and NMPF state that
the proposed amendments would assist in meeting several initiatives
aimed at improving the nutrition and health profile of food served in
the nation's schools. Those initiatives include state-level programs
designed to limit the quantity of sugar served to children during the
school day. Finally, IDFA and NMPF argue that the proposed amendments
to the milk standard of identity would promote honesty and fair dealing
in the marketplace and are therefore appropriate under section 401 of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341).
    The petition acknowledges that the use of non-nutritive sweeteners
in optional characterizing flavoring

ingredients in milk is allowed under the existing regulatory scheme,
with certain additional requirements. The regulatory framework
governing the naming of standardized foods that do not fully comply
with the relevant standards of identity changed with the passage of the
Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 and FDA's rulemaking
establishing the Agency's requirements for foods named by use of a
nutrient content claim and a standardized term (Sec.  130.10 (21 CFR
130.10)). Section 130.10(d) allows the addition of safe and suitable
ingredients to a food named by use of a nutrient content claim and a
standardized term when these ingredients are used to, among other
things, add sweetness to ensure that the modified food is not inferior
in performance characteristic to the standardized food even if such
ingredients are not specifically provided for by the relevant food
standard. Therefore, while the milk standard of identity in Sec.
131.110 only provides for the use of ``nutritive sweetener'' in an
optional characterizing flavor, milk may contain a characterizing
flavor that is sweetened with a non-nutritive sweetener if the food's
label bears a nutrient content claim (e.g., ``reduced calorie'') and
the non-nutritive sweetener is used to add sweetness to the product so
that it is not inferior in its sweetness property compared to its
standardized counterpart. However, IDFA and NMPF argue that nutrient
content claims such as ``reduced calorie'' are not attractive to
children, and maintain that consumers can more easily identify the
overall nutritional value of milk products that are flavored with non-
nutritive sweeteners if the labels do not include such claims. Further,
the petitioners assert that consumers do not recognize milk--including
flavored milk--as necessarily containing sugar. Accordingly, the
petitioners state that milk flavored with non-nutritive sweeteners
should be labeled as milk without further claims so that consumers can
``more easily identify its overall nutritional value.''
    As to the additional dairy standards, IDFA and NMPF state that
administrative efficiency counsels in favor of similar changes. As long
as FDA is dedicating resources to amending the standard of identity for
milk, they argue, the Agency should also amend the standards for these
products at the same time. They state that it is most efficient to
consider all of the proposals together. According to the petition, the
requested changes to the additional dairy standards present the same
issues as the milk standard, and it is therefore appropriate to
consider all of the requested changes together.

II. Request for Comments

    FDA requests that interested persons submit comments, data, and
information concerning the need for, and the appropriateness of,
amending the standard of identity for milk and the additional dairy
standards. FDA specifically requests comment and supporting data, as
appropriate, on the following matters:
    1. The petition states that amending the standard of identity for
milk (Sec.  131.100) to allow the use of ``any safe and suitable''
sweetener in optional characterizing flavoring ingredients would
promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers by
creating consistency in the naming of flavored milk products because
flavored milk could contain a non-nutritive sweetener without bearing a
nutrient content claim (e.g., ``reduced sugar'') as part of its name.
Would the proposed amendments promote honesty and fair dealing in the
interest of consumers?
    2. If the standard of identity for milk is amended as requested by
petitioners, milk manufacturers could use non-nutritive sweeteners in
flavored milk without a nutrient content claim in its labeling. Will
the inclusion of the non-nutritive sweeteners in the ingredient
statement provide consumers with sufficient information to ensure that
consumers are not misled regarding the characteristics of the milk they
are purchasing?
    3. The petition states that flavored milk labels that bear nutrient
content claims such as ``reduced calorie'' are unattractive to
children. What, if any, data are available on children's purchase
habits with regard to flavored milks labeled as ``reduced calorie
flavored milk,'' ``no sugar added,'' ``less sugar,'' etc?
    4. The petition states that if FDA dedicates resources to amending
the standard of identity for milk, for purposes of administrative
efficiency the Agency should also amend the Additional Dairy Standards
because the issues presented are the same with respect to the use of
non-nutritive sweeteners. Would amending the Additional Dairy Standards
as requested promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of
consumers? If the labels of these products do not bear nutrient content
claims, would the inclusion of non-nutritive sweeteners in the
ingredient statements provide consumers with sufficient information to
distinguish between the two types of products (i.e., sweetened with
nutritive versus non-nutritive sweeteners) so that consumers are not
misled? \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Although FDA requests comments relevant to the IDFA and NMPF
petition, FDA does not seek comments regarding the requested
amendments to the standards of identity for yogurt, lowfat yogurt,
nonfat yogurt, and cultured milk. FDA has already sought and
collected comments regarding similar amendments to those standards
in a proposed rulemaking. See 74 FR 2443.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. The petition notes that ice cream is permitted to contain either
a nutritive or non-nutritive sweetener without the label bearing a
nutrient content claim or otherwise distinguishing the two types of
products from one another. Are the considerations underlying FDA
amendments to the standard of identity for ice cream \4\ applicable to
the requested amendments to the standard of identity for milk or the
Additional Dairy Standards?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ FDA amended the standard of identity for ice cream to allow
for ``any safe and suitable sweetener'' to be used in ice cream. See
``Frozen Desserts: Removal of Standards of Identity for Ice Milk and
Goat's Milk Ice Milk; Amendment of Standards of Identity for Ice
Cream and Frozen Custard and Goat's Milk Ice Cream'' (59 FR 47072,
September 14, 1994) (Ref 2). Before FDA's amendment, the standard
provided only for ``nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. If the standard of identity for milk and the Additional Dairy
Standards are amended in the manner requested by the petition, what
will be the effect on search costs \5\ for consumers who would like to
determine whether a product contains a nutritive or non-nutritive
sweetener?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Search costs include the time and energy it would take an
average consumer to read a label and determine whether the product
contained the nutritive sweetener or the artificial sweetener.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After reviewing the comments received, FDA will further evaluate
the need for, and appropriateness of, the amendments requested by IDFA
and NMPF and will decide what further actions are appropriate. For a
copy of the petition filed by IDFA and NMPF please go to: http://www.regulations.gov and insert ``Docket No. FDA-2009-P-0147'' into the
``Search'' box.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would establish restricted airspace at Fairbanks AK, to
contain activities deemed hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket
Number FAA-2016-9479 and Airspace Docket No. 15-AAL-4) and be submitted
in triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section
for address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket Number FAA-2016-9479 and Airspace Docket Number 15-AAL-
4.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the
commenter.

Background

    The Air Force and Army are currently developing YTA as one of
JPARC's most important training areas. Expanding R-2205 would provide
larger airspace to more realistically conduct service and joint
hazardous training activities, consistent with current and future
combat environments. The restricted area and Surface Danger Zones (SDZ)
must be large enough to encompass the DMPTR and other ranges in the
YTA.
    This proposed airspace would allow for manned and unmanned teaming
of aviation assets and allow Air-to-Ground Integration (AGI) during
large training exercises such as Red Flag and Distant Frontier.
Additionally, the expansion of the restricted area over the DMPTR would
allow for greater training complexity by incorporating AGI and more
consistent training due to a reduction in non-participatory aircraft
over the flying range.
    The activities within the proposed expansion of R-2205 are to meet
the overall training objectives of the Department of Defense. The
activities would include live and inert precision and unguided
munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) laser operations, joint
combined arms live fire exercises, gunnery collective skills training,
demolitions, indirect fire and helicopter integration with UAVs.
    The proposed restricted area would be subdivided into segmented
blocks to enable restricted area activation for only the needed block.
Segments activation would reduce the impact to non-participating
aircraft. Some subdivisions will overlap with existing Military
Operating Areas (MOAs). Considering the new proposed restricted areas
are not continuous and the MOAs are not continuous, the potential exist
for both the restricted areas and MOAs to be active at the same time.
To alleviate this situation, the MOA descriptions will be amended to
exclude those portions that overlap into the restricted areas when the
restricted areas are active at the same time as the MOAs. This proposal
would provide the Air Force and the Army with the necessary expansion
to meet both current and future training requirements.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to remove the current Restricted area R-
2205, Stuart Creek, AK, and establish R-2205A through H, Fairbanks, AK.
The FAA is proposing this action at the request of the United States
Army in Alaska. The proposed restricted areas are described below.
    R-2205A and E would overlap the current R-2205 with a 1-mile
extension to the east along the eastern boundary and a 3-mile extension
to the north along the northern boundary. The western boundary is the
same as R-2205B and F. The altitudes would be from the surface up to
but not including 10,000 feet MSL (R-2205A) and 10,000 feet MSL to
31,000 feet MSL (R-2205E).
    R-2205B and F would be established west of R-2205A and E and east
of R-2205C/D/G/H areas. The northern and southern boundaries are the
same as R-2205A and E. The altitudes would be from the surface up to
but not including

10,000 feet MSL (R-2205B) and 10,000 feet MSL to 31,000 feet MSL (R-
2205F).
    R-2205C and G would be established northeast and southeast of
Eilson Air Force Base bordering R-2205D and H on the western boundary.
The altitudes would be from the surface up to but not including 10,000
feet MSL (R-2205C) and 10,000 feet MSL to 31,000 feet MSL (R-2205G).
    R-2205D and H would be established east of Eielson Air Force Base
bordering R-2205C and G to the northeast and southeast. The altitudes
would be from the surface up to but not including 10,000 feet MSL (R-
2205D) and 10,000 feet MSL to 31,000 feet MSL (R-2205H).
    Finally, R-2205, Stuart Creek AK would be removed.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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
Department of Transportation (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.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions--Drugs and
Biologics.'' This draft guidance provides a single resource for
information on FDA's policies and procedures related to the following
expedited programs for serious conditions: (1) Fast track designation,
(2) breakthrough therapy designation, (3) accelerated approval, and (4)
priority review designation. The draft guidance describes threshold
criteria generally applicable to expedited programs, including what is
meant by serious condition, unmet medical need, and available therapy.
This draft guidance also discusses considerations for expedited
development and review such as manufacturing scale-up and inspections,
long-term nonclinical toxicity studies, and review cycle clinical
inspections. In addition, this guidance aligns CDER's criteria for
priority review designation with CBER's criteria. Only products
intended to treat a serious condition are eligible for priority review
(unless otherwise eligible under specific statutory provisions).
    For over 30 years, expediting the availability of promising
therapies to patients with serious conditions has been a priority for
FDA. With the passage of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and
Innovations Act (FDASIA), FDA is expanding its efforts to expedite
development and review of therapies intended to treat patients with
serious conditions. This draft guidance is intended to satisfy the
statutory requirements of sections 901(c)(1) and 902(b)(1)(A) of
FDASIA.
    Section 901(c)(1) of FDASIA requires FDA to issue draft guidance to
implement amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (Enhancement of Accelerated Approval Access to New Medical
Treatments) within 1 year of the date of enactment. The fast track
designation, accelerated approval, and other relevant provisions of
this draft guidance are intended to fulfill this requirement.
    Section 902(b)(1)(A) of FDASIA requires FDA to issue draft guidance
to implement requirements of section 902 (Breakthrough Therapies)
within 18 months of the date of enactment. The breakthrough therapy and
other relevant provisions of this draft guidance are intended to
fulfill this requirement.
    The provisions of this draft guidance relating to fast track
development and other issues such as serious condition and unmet
medical need, when finalized, will replace the current guidance for
industry entitled ``Fast Track Drug Development Programs--Designation,
Development, and Application Review.'' The provisions of this draft
guidance pertaining to available therapy, when finalized, will replace
the current guidance for industry entitled ``Available Therapy.''
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on expedited
programs for serious conditions--drugs and biologics. 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. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 that
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 for each proposed collection of
information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, FDA is 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, FDA invites comments on the following topics: (1)
Whether the proposed information collected is necessary for the proper
performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimated burden of
the proposed information collected, 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 information collected on the respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
    Title: Submission of Information Related to Expedited Programs for
Serious Conditions--Drugs and Biologics.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of
information are sponsors that develop drugs and biological products.
    Burden Estimate: This draft guidance outlines FDA's policies and
procedures related to the following expedited programs for serious
conditions: (1) Fast track designation, including rolling review, (2)
breakthrough therapy designation, (3) accelerated approval, and (4)
priority review designation. In addition, this draft guidance describes
threshold criteria generally applicable to expedited programs.
    This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections
of information found in FDA regulations. The collections of information
in 21 CFR 202.1, parts 314 and 601 (21 CFR parts 314 and 601), and
sections 505(a), 506(a)(1), 735, and 736 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
355(a), 356(a)(1), 379g, and 379h) have been approved under OMB control
numbers 0910-0686, 0910-0001, 0910-0338, 0910-0014, and 0910-0297.
    This draft guidance proposes the following new collections of
information:
    Priority Review Designation Request. The draft guidance describes
that a sponsor may expressly request priority review of an application.
Based on information from FDA's databases and information available to
FDA, we estimate that approximately 47 sponsors will prepare and submit
approximately 1 priority review designation submission in accordance
with the draft guidance and that the added burden for each submission
will be approximately 30 hours to develop and submit to FDA as part of
the application (totaling 1,410 hours).
    Breakthrough Therapy Designation Request. The draft guidance
describes the process for sponsors to request breakthrough therapy
designation in an

application. Based on information available to FDA, we estimate that
approximately 24 sponsors will prepare approximately 1 breakthrough
therapy designation submission in accordance with the draft guidance
and that the added burden for each submission will be approximately 70
hours to prepare and submit (totaling 1,680 hours).
    Promotional Materials for Accelerated Approval Under Part 314. The
draft guidance describes section 506(c)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act and FDA's
accelerated approval regulations (Sec. Sec.  314.550 and 601.45). These
provisions authorize FDA to require sponsors to submit copies of all
promotional materials to the Agency for consideration prior to their
dissemination. The regulations provide that copies of all promotional
materials including promotional labeling as well as advertisements
intended for dissemination or publication within 120 days following
marketing approval must be submitted to FDA during the preapproval
period. The regulations further provide that after 120 days following
marketing approval, unless otherwise informed by the Agency, the
applicant must submit promotional materials at least 30 days prior to
the intended time of initial dissemination of the labeling or initial
publication of the advertisement. Currently, FDA has OMB approval for
the submission of copies of all promotional materials under part 601
(OMB control number 0910-0338) but does not have approval for the
submission of copies of all promotional materials under part 314.
    Based on information from FDA's databases and information available
to FDA, we estimate that approximately 20 sponsors will submit
promotional materials for accelerated approval 7 times annually in
accordance with Sec.  314.550 and that the burden for each submission
will be approximately 120 hours (a total of 16,800 hours).
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
