What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
producers, importers, distributors, and custom applicators of methyl
bromide, organizations, consortia, and associations of methyl bromide
users, as well as individual methyl bromide users.
    Title: Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed
Collection; Comment Request; Protection of Stratospheric Ozone:
Critical Use Exemption from the Phaseout of Methyl Bromide
(Applications, Recordkeeping, and Periodic Reporting) (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2031.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0482.
    ICR status: EPA ICR 2031.03 is currently scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2011. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers
for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA is seeking to renew EPA ICR 2031.03 which allows EPA
to collect CUE applications from regulated entities on an annual basis,
and which requires the submission of data from regulated industries to
the EPA and requires recordkeeping of key documents to ensure
compliance with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the
Ozone Layer (Protocol) and the CAA.
    Entities applying for this exemption are asked to submit to EPA
applications with necessary data to evaluate the need for a critical
use exemption. This information collection is conducted to meet U.S.
obligations under Article 2H of the Montreal Protocol on Substances
that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol). The information collection
request is required to obtain a benefit under Section 604(d)(6) of the
CAA, added by Section 764 of the 1999 Omnibus Consolidated and
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 105-277; October 21,
1998).
    Since 2002, entities have applied to EPA for a critical use
exemption that would allow for the continued production and import of
methyl bromide after the phaseout in January 2005. These exemptions are
for consumption only in those agricultural sectors that have
demonstrated that there are no technically or economically feasible
alternatives to methyl bromide. The applications are rigorously
assessed and analyzed by EPA staff, including experts from the Office
of Pesticide Programs. On an annual basis, EPA uses the data submitted
by end users to create a nomination of critical uses which the U.S.
Government submits to the Protocol's Ozone Secretariat for review by an
international panel of experts and advisory bodies. These advisory
bodies include the Methyl Bromide Technical Options Committee (MBTOC)
and the Technical and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP). The uses
authorized internationally by the Parties to the Protocol are made
available in the U.S. on an annual basis.
    The applications will enable EPA to:
    1. Maintain consistency with the Protocol by supporting critical
use nominations to the Parties to the Protocol, in accordance with
paragraph 2 of Decision IX/6 of the Protocol;
    2. Ensure that critical use exemptions comply with Section
604(d)(6);
    3. Provide EPA with necessary data to evaluate the technical and
economic feasibility of methyl bromide alternatives in the circumstance
of the specific use, as presented in an application for a critical use
exemption;
    The reported data will enable EPA to:
    1. Ensure that critical use exemptions comply with Section
604(d)(6);
    2. Maintain compliance with the Protocol requirements for annual
data submission on the production of ozone depleting substances;
    3. Analyze technical use data to ensure that exemptions are used in
accordance with requirements included in the annual authorization
rulemakings.
    EPA informs respondents that they may assert claims of business
confidentiality for any of the information they submit. Information
claimed confidential will be treated in accordance with the procedures
for handling information claimed as

confidential under 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart b, and will be disclosed only
if EPA determines that the information is not entitled to confidential
treatment. If no claim of confidentiality is asserted when the
information is received by EPA, it may be made available to the public
without further notice to the respondents (40 CFR 2.203). Individual
reporting data may be claimed as sensitive and will be treated as
confidential information in accordance with procedures outlined in 40
CFR Part 2.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.3
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The annual application, reporting, and recordkeeping burden is as
follows: 52 applicants to the critical use exemption program at 1,976
hours per year; 4 producers and importers at a total of 188 hours per
year (quarterly reporting); 75 distributors and applicators at 975
hours per year (annual reporting); and 2,000 end users at 575 hours per
year (periodic certification of purchases of critical use methyl
bromide at the time of each purchase). The total industry burden is
therefore 3,714 hours per year.
    The annual public application burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 38 hours per response (1,976 hours
divided by 52 responses). The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.61
hours per response (1,738 hours divided by 2,846 responses). Overall,
the total annual public burden (application, reporting, and
recordkeeping) for this collection of information is estimated to
average 1.3 hours per response (3,714 hours divided by 2,898
responses).
    The total annual labor cost burden associated with information
collection request is $843,845. EPA estimates the costs as follows:
Application costs totaling $199,299 per year, recordkeeping and
reporting costs totaling $582,769 per year, and self certification by
producers, importers, distributors, and end users costing $61,777 per
year. EPA estimates the capital costs to be $0.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 1,203 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the EPA ICR 2031.03
which is currently approved by OMB. The reasons for the decrease in
burden hours include a decrease in the number of applicants and a
similar decline in the number of end users. Furthermore, stakeholders
are more familiar with the critical use exemption program and have
already organized associations to apply on behalf of multiple growers.
Other reasons for burden reduction include the encouragement of
electronic submission of applications and other data and frequent EPA
communication with methyl bromide stakeholders.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Dated: February 22, 2011.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and/or Amend
Registrations to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants,
Kerr-McGee Chemical, LLC (now Tronox, LLC) and EKA Chemicals, Inc., to
amend to terminate uses of four sodium chlorate product registrations.
Sodium chlorate is used agriculturally as a defoliant and dessicant,
primarily on cotton, however it is also applied to a wide variety of
other crops including, but not limited to, rice, corn, soybeans, dry
beans, potatoes, sunflowers, flax, safflower, chili peppers (for
processing only), grain sorghum, and wheat. As a non-selective
herbicide it is also applied to industrial/non-crop areas such as
rights-of-ways, building perimeters, ditch banks, bleachers, airport
runways, vacant lots, fire hydrants, or as a pre-paving treatment. Its
residential uses include applications as a spot/edging treatment to
driveway cracks, and crevices, around foundations, and under or around
wood decks. Sodium chlorate is also used as an antimicrobial agent to
generate chlorine dioxide. In letters dated September 26, 2005 and
December 6, 2005, Kerr-McGee Chemical, LLC (now Tronox, LLC); and EKA
Chemicals, Inc requested EPA to amend to terminate uses of pesticide
product registrations identified in Table 1 of this notice.
Specifically, the labels for the products listed in Table 1 will
contain a statement indicating that the product is not for formulation
of end use products for residential sites and/or prohibiting the use of
these products for residential use. The registrants named above are no
longer supporting these uses and wish to have them removed from product
labels.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to amend to terminate uses of sodium chlorate product registrations.
The affected products and the registrants making the requests are
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The sodium chlorate registrants have requested that EPA waive the
180-day comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of
publication of this notice, or if the Agency determines that there are
substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an
order will be issued canceling and/or amending the affected
registrations.

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

IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before

acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such
request in the Federal Register. Thereafter, following the public
comment period, the Administrator may approve such a request.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration of Sodium Chlorate

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before 30 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. This written withdrawal of the
request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA
section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the products have
been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation
action are controlling.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. If the request for use termination is granted as
discussed above, the Agency intends to issue a cancellation order that
will allow the registrant to continue to sell and distribute existing
stocks of products bearing old labeling for 18 months after the date of
the use termination order. Persons other than the registrant are
allowed to continue to sell and/or use existing stocks of products
bearing old labeling until such stocks are exhausted, provided that
such use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled product. The order will
specifically prohibit any use of existing stocks that is not consistent
with such previously approved labeling. If, as the Agency currently
intends, the final cancellation order contains the existing stocks
provision just described, the order will be sent only to the affected
registrants of the cancelled products. If the Agency determines that
the final cancellation order should contain existing stocks provisions
different than the ones just described, the Agency will publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2021-N-0412]

Revocation of Authorization of Emergency Use of an In Vitro
Diagnostic Device for Detection and/or Diagnosis of COVID-19;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
revocation of the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (the Authorization)
issued to ScienCell Research Laboratories (ScienCell) for the ScienCell
SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) Detection

Kit. FDA revoked this Authorization under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The revocation, which includes an explanation
of the reasons for revocation, is reprinted in this document.

DATES: The Authorization for the ScienCell SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Real-
time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) Detection Kit is revoked as of June 7, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit a written request for a single copy of the revocation
to the Office of Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4338, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send one self-addressed adhesive label to assist
that office in processing your request or include a fax number to which
the revocation may be sent. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
for electronic access to the revocation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer J. Ross, Office of
Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug Administration,
10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4332, Silver Spring, MD 20993-
0002,<PHONE_NUMBER> (this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) as amended by the
Project BioShield Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-276) and the Pandemic and
All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113-5)
allows FDA to strengthen the public health protections against
biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological agents. Among other
things, section 564 of the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of
an unapproved medical product or an unapproved use of an approved
medical product in certain situations. On April 3, 2020, FDA issued an
EUA to ScienCell for the ScienCell SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Real-time RT-
PCR (RT-qPCR) Detection Kit, subject to the terms of the Authorization.
Notice of the issuance of this Authorization was published in the
Federal Register on June 5, 2020 (85 FR 34638), as required by section
564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act. Subsequent updates to the Authorization were
made available on FDA's website. The authorization of a device for
emergency use under section 564 of the FD&C Act may, pursuant to
section 564(g)(2) of the FD&C Act, be revoked when the criteria under
section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for issuance of such authorization are
no longer met (section 564(g)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act), or other
circumstances make such revocation appropriate to protect the public
health or safety (section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act).

II. EUA Revocation Request

    In a request received by FDA on June 2, 2022, ScienCell requested
revocation of, and on June 7, 2022, FDA revoked, the Authorization for
the ScienCell SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR)
Detection Kit. Because ScienCell notified FDA that ScienCell decided to
discontinue distribution of the ScienCell SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Real-
time RT-PCR (RTqPCR) Detection Kit and requested FDA revoke the EUA for
the ScienCell SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR)
Detection Kit, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to protect the
public health or safety to revoke this Authorization.

III. Electronic Access

    An electronic version of this document and the full text of the
revocation is available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/.

IV. The Revocation

    Having concluded that the criteria for revocation of the
Authorization under section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C Act are met, FDA
has revoked the EUA of ScienCell for the ScienCell SARS-CoV-2
Coronavirus Real-time RT-PCR (RTqPCR) Detection Kit. The revocation in
its entirety follows and provides an explanation of the reasons for
revocation, as required by section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act.

Equilon Enterprises LLC DBA Shell Oil Products US--Martinez QF, Shell
Chemical LP and Motiva Enterprises LLC (Shell Companies) filed
applications for market-based rate authority, with accompanying
tariffs. The proposed market-based rate tariffs provide for the sale of
energy, capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. The
Shell Companies also requested waiver of various Commission
regulations. In particular, the Shell Companies requested that the
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by the Shell
Companies.
    On May 22, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the request
for blanket approval under part 34. The Director's order also stated
that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the Federal

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above,
the Shell Companies are authorized to issue securities and assume
obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or
otherwise in respect of any security of another person; provided that
such issuance or assumption is for some lawful object within the
corporate purposes of the Shell Companies, compatible with the public
interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approval of the Shell Companies' issuances of securities or
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's

to Phillips 66 Company's Bayway Refinery and the co-located
cogeneration plant owned by Cogen Technologies Linden Venture, L.P.
located in Linden, New Jersey (Bayway Lateral Project), all as more
fully set forth in the application. The filing is available for review
at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. There is an

receive email notification when a document is added to a subscribed
docket(s). For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding the proposed project should be directed to
Berk Donaldson, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, at Texas
Eastern Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642 or
at<PHONE_NUMBER> (phone), or<PHONE_NUMBER> (facsimile).
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to

the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 4, 2016.

the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

	XX Holder’s certificates of public convenience and necessity

	XX  Standard Exemption Conditions (attached)

________________________________________________________________________
__________

Conditions:  The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is subject to
the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A
of Order 88-10-2.  Consistent with our standard practice, the dormancy
notice period will begin on Sun Country’s proposed startup dates of

December 20, 2002, for the Minneapolis/St. Paul-Cancun/Puerto
Vallarta/Mazatlan markets;

December 21, 2002, for the Minneapolis/St.

The route integration authority granted to Sun Country is subject to the
condition that any service provided under this exemption shall be
consistent with all applicable agreements between the United States and
the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in the award
of the route integration authority requested should be construed as
conferring upon Sun Country additional rights (including fifth-freedom
intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier
entry is limited unless Sun Country notifies the Department of its
intent to serve such a market and unless and until the Department has
completed any necessary carrier selection procedures to determine which
carrier(s) should be authorized to exercise such rights); (b) should
there be a request by any carrier to use the limited-entry route rights
that are included in Sun Country’s authority by virtue of the route
integration exemption granted here, but that are not then being used by
Sun Country, the holding of such authority by route integration will not
be considered as providing any preference for Sun Country in a
competitive carrier selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s)
should be entitled to use the authority at issue.

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the application was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Guidance for
Industry on Generic Drug User Fee Cover Sheet

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

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

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by
November 5, 2015.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer,
FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>All
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0727.
Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE-14526, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Generic Drug User Fee Cover Sheet; Form FDA 3794 OMB Control Number
0910-0727--Extension

    On July 9, 2012, the Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA) (Pub. L.
112-144, Title III) was signed into law by the President. GDUFA,
designed to speed the delivery of safe and effective generic drugs to
the public and reduce costs to industry, requires that generic drug
manufacturers pay user fees to finance critical and measurable program
enhancements. The user fees required by GDUFA are as follows: (1) A
one-time fee for original abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs)
pending on October 1, 2012 (also known as backlog applications); (2)
fees for type II active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and final
dosage form (FDF) facilities; (3) fees for new ANDAs and prior approval
supplements (PASs); and (4) a one-time fee for drug master files
(DMFs).
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit feedback on the collection
of information in an electronic form used to calculate and pay generic
drug user fees. Proposed Form FDA 3794, the Generic Drug User Fee Cover
Sheet, requests the minimum necessary information to determine if a
person has satisfied all relevant user fee obligations. The proposed
form is modeled on other FDA user fee cover sheets, including Form FDA
3397, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act Cover Sheet. The information
collected would be used by FDA to initiate the administrative screening
of generic drug submissions and DMFs, support the inspection of generic
drug facilities, and otherwise support the generic drug program. A copy
of the proposed form will be available in the docket for this notice.
    Respondents to this proposed collection of information would be
potential or actual generic application holders and/or related
manufacturers (manufacturers of FDF and/or APIs). Companies with
multiple applications will submit a cover sheet for each application
and facility. Based on FDA's database of application holders and
related manufacturers, we estimate that approximately 460 companies
would submit a total of 3,544 cover sheets annually to pay for
application and facility user fees. FDA estimates that the 3,544 annual
cover sheet responses would break down as follows: 1,439 facilities
fees, 942 ANDAs, 502 PASs, and 661 Type II API DMFs. The estimated
hours per response are based on FDA's past experience with other
submissions and range from approximately 0.1 to 0.5 hours. The hours
per response are estimated at the upper end of the range to be
conservative.
    In the Federal Register of June 2, 2015 (80 FR 31388), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E

airspace at Riverton Regional Airport, Riverton, WY. Additional
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the VOR
(RNAV) GPS (SIAP) at Riverton Regional Airport, Riverton, WY. This
action would enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations
at Riverton Regional Airport, Riverton, WY.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15,
2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    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.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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. 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, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes
the authority for 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 modify controlled airspace at Riverton Regional Airport,
Riverton, WY.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

PART 71--DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Umbach Fireworks Scattering, Yellow Bluff San
Francisco Bay, Sausalito, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
navigable waters of the San Francisco Bay near Yellow Bluff in
Sausalito, CA in support of a fireworks display on December 3, 2021.
The safety zone is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment from potential hazards created by pyrotechnics.
Unauthorized persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into,
transiting through, or remaining in the safety zone without the
permission of the Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 4 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. on December
3, 2021.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being

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. The Coast Guard
did not receive final details for this event until October 20, 2021. It
is impracticable to go through the full notice and comment rule making
process because the Coast Guard must establish this safety zone by
December 3, 2021 and lacks sufficient time to provide a reasonable
comment period and to consider those comments before issuing the rule.
    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 contrary to public interest because action is
necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment
from the potential safety hazards associated with the fireworks display
near Yellow Bluff the San Francisco Bay on December 3, 2021.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port San
Francisco has determined that potential hazards associated with the
Umback Fireworks Scattering on December 3, 2021, will be a safety
concern for anyone within a 100-foot radius of the fireworks vessel
during loading and staging, and anyone within a 500-foot radius of the
fireworks vessel starting 30 minutes before the fireworks display is
scheduled to commence and ending 30 minutes after the conclusion of the
fireworks display. For this reason, this temporary safety zone is
needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the
navigable waters around the fireworks vessel and during the fireworks
display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from 4 p.m. until
6:15 p.m. on December 3, 2021, during the loading, staging, and transit
of the fireworks vessel in San Francisco Bay from Clipper Yacht Harbor
to 500 yards off Yellow Bluff, Sausalito, CA, and until 30 minutes
after completion of the fireworks display. During the loading, staging,
and transit of the fireworks vessel scheduled to take place between 4
p.m. and 5 p.m. on December 3, 2021, until 30 minutes prior to the
start of the fireworks display, the safety zone will encompass the
navigable waters around and under the fireworks vessel, from surface to
bottom, within a circle formed by connection of all points 100 feet out
from the fireworks vessel. The fireworks display is scheduled to start
from 5:30 p.m. and end at approximately 5:45 p.m. on December 3, 2021,
500 yards from Yellow Bluff in Sausalito, CA.
    The fireworks vessel will remain at Clipper Yacht Harbor until the
start of its transit to the display location. Movement of the vessel
from Clipper Yacht Harbor to the display location is scheduled to take
place from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on December 3, 2021, where it will
remain until the conclusion of the fireworks display.
    At 5 p.m. on December 3, 2021, 30 minutes prior to the commencement
of the 15-minute fireworks display, the safety zone will increase in
size and encompass the navigable waters around and under the fireworks
vessel, from surface to bottom, within a circle formed by all
connecting points 500 feet from the circle center at approximate
position 50' 12'' N 122 degrees 28' 01'' W (NAD 83). The safety zone
will terminate at 6:15 p.m. on December 3, 2021 or as announced via
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    This regulation is necessary to keep persons and vessels away from
the immediate vicinity of the fireworks loading, staging, transit, and
display site. Except for persons or vessels authorized by the COTP or
the COTP's designated representative, no person or vessel may enter or
remain in the restricted area. A ``designated representative'' means a
Coast Guard Patrol Commander, including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty
officer, or other officer operating a Coast Guard vessel, or a Federal,
State, or local officer designated by or assisting the Captain of the
Port San Francisco (COTP) in the enforcement of the safety zone. This
regulation is necessary to ensure the safety of participants,
spectators, and transiting vessels.

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 the limited
duration and narrowly tailored geographic area of the safety zone.
Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by the
safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be significant because
the local waterways users will be notified to ensure the safety zone
will result in minimum impact. The vessels desiring to transit through
or around the temporary safety zone may do so upon express permission
from the COTP or the COTP's designated representative.

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
temporary safety zone in the navigable waters around the loading,
staging, transit, and display of fireworks near Clipper Yacht Harbor
and 500 yards off Yellow Bluff in San Francisco Bay. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
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.
