Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-17-000]

Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Valley Lateral Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) of the
Valley Lateral Project (Project) proposed by Millennium Pipeline
Company, L.L.C. (Millennium) in the above-referenced docket. Millennium
requests authorization to construct, operate, and maintain new natural
gas facilities consisting of 7.9 miles of new, 16-inch-diameter natural
gas pipeline extending from Millennium's existing mainline to the CPV
Valley, LLC (CPV) Valley Energy Center in Orange County, New York. The
Project would provide transportation capacity for 130,000 dekatherms
per day (130 million cubic feet) of natural gas to serve the new 650
megawatt gas-powered CPV Valley Energy Center.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The FERC staff concludes
that approval of the proposed Project, with appropriate mitigating
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and New York State
Department of Agriculture and Markets participated as cooperating
agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have
jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources
potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local

government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; and newspapers and libraries in the Project area. In addition,
the EA is available for public viewing on the FERC's Web site
(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link.
    A limited number of copies of the EA are also available for
distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that your comments are properly recorded and considered prior to
a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that the FERC
receives your comments in Washington, DC, on or before June 8, 2016.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
project docket number (CP16-17-000) with your submission. The

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive
(AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800,
and -900 series airplanes. That NPRM proposed to require inspecting the
orientation of both sides of the coil cord connector keyways of the
number 2 windows on the flight deck; re-clocking the connector keyways
to 12 o'clock, if necessary; and replacing the coil cord assemblies on
both number 2 windows on the flight deck. That NPRM was prompted by
reports of arcing and smoke at the left number 2 window in the flight
deck. This action revises that NPRM by changing the keyway position of
certain receptacle connectors and adding airplanes to the
applicability. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) to
prevent arcing, smoke, and fire in the flight deck, which could lead to
injuries to or incapacitation of the flightcrew. Since these actions
impose an additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are
reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment
on these proposed changes.

DATES: We must receive comments on this supplemental NPRM by August 31,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that
would apply to The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and
-900 series airplanes, as identified in Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010. That NPRM
published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4567).
That NPRM proposed to require inspecting the orientation of both sides
of the coil cord connector keyways of the number 2 windows on the
flight deck; re-clocking the connector keyways to 12 o'clock, if
necessary; and replacing the coil cord assemblies on both number 2
windows on the flight deck.

Actions Since Previous NPRM (76 FR 4567, January 26, 2011) Was Issued

    Since we issued the previous NPRM (76 FR 4567, January 26, 2011),
we have received three reports by operators of wire connectors at the
two ends of the coil cord rubbing each other. These operators had
accomplished the actions described in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010 (or earlier
revisions), which was referred to in the previous NPRM as the
appropriate source of service information. The rub condition occurs
when the window opens or is in the fully open position. The rub
condition can possibly cause damage to the wire connector and the coil
cord and cause arcing, smoke, and fire in the flight deck, which could
lead to injuries to or incapacitation of the

flightcrew. As a result of these findings, Boeing has issued Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 4, dated November 3,
2011, to correct the rubbing condition. The SNPRM will specify Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 4, dated November 3,
2011 as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing
the proposed actions.
    This SNPRM also adds airplanes to the applicability, which includes
Model 737-900ER airplanes and airplanes that have accomplished the
actions of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058,
Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010, in production.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to comment on the previous NPRM
(76 FR 4567, January 26, 2011). The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for Previous NPRM (76 FR 4567, January 26, 2011)

    American Airlines (American) and Delta Airlines (Delta) stated they
have no objections to the previous NPRM (76 FR 4567, January 26, 2011).

Request To Use Revised Clocking Positions

    Boeing requested that clocking of the connectors for the left
window be changed to the 9 o'clock position, and the 3 o'clock position
for the right window. Boeing stated that this will provide better
separation between the two ends of the coiled cord when the windows are
in the open position. Boeing stated that Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010, will be revised
to reflect this change.
    We agree. The proposed change prevents coil cord damage resulting
from the close proximity of the two ends of the cord when the windows
are in the open position. Without this change, the unsafe condition
that originally prompted the previous NPRM (76 FR 4567, January 26,
2011) would not be corrected. We have changed the SNPRM to reference
the actions specified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-
30-1058, Revision 4, dated November 3, 2011.

Request To Revise Certain Service Information

    American stated that Paragraph 1.K.1. of Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010, states
that the only affected publication is the Boeing Model 737 illustrated
parts catalog (IPC). But American pointed out that the wiring diagram
manual (WDM) also needs to be revised, because Figures 2 and 7 of
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 3,
dated July 7, 2010, show the new wiring diagram after the installation
of the new coil cord assembly.
    We agree that the WDM is affected by wiring changes shown in
Figures 2 and 7 of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-
1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010. As previously described, we have
updated this supplemental NPRM to refer to Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 4, dated November 3, 2011.
Paragraph 1.K.1. of that service bulletin does include the WDM as an
affected reference.

Request To Revise Service Information Reference

    American stated that, in Figures 4 and 9 of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010,
Section 20-10-11 of the standard wiring practices manual (SWPM) is
referenced as an accepted procedure for adjusting the connector keyway
if it needs to be re-clocked. American pointed out that this SWPM
section does mention connectors, but does not reference clocking of
keyways. Therefore, the more appropriate reference would be Section 20-
60-06 of the SWPM, which covers the installation of electrical
connectors.
    We agree that Section 20-10-11 of the SWPM does not provide
instructions for setting the keyway or re-clocking the connectors.
Those instructions are included in Section 20-60-06 of the SWPM.
However, re-clocking or resetting the connector keyway is a misnomer of
the intended action. According to Boeing, the intended action in
Figures 4 and 9 of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-
1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010, is the repositioning of the
connector, not re-clocking or resetting the connector keyway. Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058, Revision 4, dated
November 3, 2011, deletes the wording ``re-clocking or resetting the
connector keyway,'' and replaces it with text more clearly describing
the intended action. As explained previously, we have changed the SNPRM
to reference Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-30-1058,
Revision 4, dated November 3, 2011.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this SNPRM because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
Certain changes described above expand the scope of the previous NPRM
(76 FR 4567, January 26, 2011). As a result, we have determined that it
is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide additional
opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 712 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

 both sides of the flight deck   $85 per hour =

 and Group 2 airplanes).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.

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 TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0327; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-125-AD;
Amendment 39-17198; AD 2012-19-03]

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain The Boeing Company Model DC-10-10, DC-10-10F, DC-10-15, DC-
10-30, DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10), DC-10-40, DC-10-40F, MD-10-10F,
and MD-10-30F airplanes. That AD currently requires installing or
replacing with improved parts, as applicable, the bonding straps
between the metallic frame of the fillet and the wing leading edge
ribs, on both the left and right sides of the airplane; and for certain
airplanes, repositioning or replacing two bonding straps, doing a
bonding-resistance check and an inspection to determine correct
installation of certain bonding straps, and applicable corrective
actions. This new AD adds airplanes to the applicability and, depending
on the airplane configuration, requires installing new braided bonding
straps, inspecting to determine if a certain strap is installed and
replacing with or installing a braided bonding strap if necessary,
measuring the electrical resistance of the bonding straps, verifying
that brackets have an acceptable fillet seal, and doing corrective
actions if necessary. This AD

was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer, and
our determination that additional actions are necessary to address the
identified unsafe condition. We are issuing this AD to reduce the
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks in the event of a
severe lightning strike, which, in combination with flammable fuel
vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective November 5, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of November 5,
2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of
February 4, 2010 (74 FR 69268, December 31, 2009).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD of September
7, 2006 (71 FR 43962, August 3, 2006).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2009-26-17, Amendment 39-16156 (74 FR 69268,
December 31, 2009). That AD applies to the specified products. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on March 28, 2012 (77 FR 18719). That
NPRM proposed to continue to require installing or replacing with
improved parts, as applicable, the bonding straps between the metallic
frame of the fillet and the wing leading edge ribs, on both the left
and right sides of the airplane. That NPRM also proposed to continue to
require, for certain airplanes, repositioning or replacing two bonding
straps, doing a bonding-resistance check and an inspection to determine
correct installation of certain bonding straps, and applicable
corrective actions. That NPRM also proposed to add airplanes to the
applicability, and depending on the airplane configuration, installing
new braided bonding straps, inspecting to determine if a certain strap
is installed and replacing with or installing a braided bonding strap
if necessary, measuring the electrical resistance of the bonding
straps, verifying that brackets have an acceptable fillet seal, and
doing corrective actions if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(77 FR 18719, March 28, 2012) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Add Credit for Previous Actions

    FedEx requested that previous actions accomplished on 51 of its
airplanes using Boeing Service Bulletin DC10-53-111, Revision 4, dated
September 21, 2006; or Boeing Service Bulletin DC10-53-111, Revision 7,
dated March 16, 2011; be acceptable as terminating action for the
actions specified in paragraph (j) of the NPRM (77 FR 18719, March 28,
2012).
    We partially agree. We agree that the actions are acceptable, but
do not agree to change the AD. We disagree that credit for previous
actions should be added to the AD. Paragraphs (m)(3) and (m)(4) of this
AD already allow previous accomplishment of the actions specified in
paragraphs (g), (h), (i), and (j) of this AD, if those actions were
done using alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) approved in
accordance with AD 2006-16-03, Amendment 39-14703 (71 FR 43962, August
3, 2006); and AD 2009-26-17, Amendment 39-16156 (74 FR 69268, December
31, 2009). Boeing Service Bulletin DC10-53-111, Revision 4, dated
September 21, 2006, states that it is approved as an AMOC for AD 2006-
16-03. We have not changed the final rule in this regard.

Request To Combine Paragraphs

    FedEx suggested that paragraphs (l)(3) and (l)(4) of the NPRM (77
FR 18719, March 28, 2012) be combined since they state the same thing.
    We do not agree to combine paragraphs (l)(3) and (l)(4) of this AD,
because those paragraphs state different requirements for different
airplanes. We have not changed the final rule in this regard.

Request To Correct Effectivity

    FedEx stated that Boeing Service Bulletin DC10-53-111, Revision 7,
dated March 16, 2011, incorrectly specifies that the reason for the
revision was to add fuselage 317 to the effectivity of that service
bulletin. FedEx stated that fuselage 317 was not and does not need to
be added to the effectivity of that service bulletin, because fuselage
317 is in the effectivity of Boeing Service Bulletin DC10-53-109,
Revision 8, dated March 10, 2011.
    We infer that FedEx is requesting that Boeing Service Bulletin
DC10-53-111, Revision 7, dated March 16, 2011, be revised to correct
the discrepancy in the stated reason for the revision of that service
bulletin. We do not agree. Boeing issued Service Bulletin Information
Notice DC10-53-111 IN 02, dated June 17, 2011, to clarify that fuselage
317 was not added to the effectivity of Boeing Service Bulletin DC10-
53-111, Revision 7, dated March 16, 2011. No change to this final rule
is necessary in this regard.

Explanation of Additional Changes Made To This AD

    We have revised certain headings throughout this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 18719, March 28, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and

     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 18719, March 28, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 208 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this 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.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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),
    (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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000 (the Act) was
enacted on April 5, 2000, as Public Law 106-181. The Act required the
establishment of the advisory group within 1 year after its enactment.
The advisory group is comprised of a balanced group of representatives
of general aviation, commercial air tour operations, environmental
concerns, and Native American tribes. The Administrator of the FAA and
the Director of NPS (or their designees) serve as ex officio members of
the group. Representatives of the Administrator and Director serve
alternating 1-year terms as chairman of the advisory group.
    The advisory group provides ``advice, information, and
recommendations to the Administrator and the Director--
    (1) On the implementation of this title [the Act] and the
amendments made by this title;
    (2) On commonly accepted quiet aircraft technology for use in
commercial air tour operations over a national park or tribal lands,
which will receive preferential treatment in a given air tour
management plan;
    (3) On other measures that might be taken to accommodate the
interests of visitors to national parks; and
    (4) At the request of the Administrator and the Director, safety,
environmental, and other issues related to commercial air tour
operations over a national park or tribal lands.''
    Members of the advisory group may be allowed certain travel
expenses as authorized by Section 5703 of Title 5, United States Code,
for intermittent Government service.
    By FAA Order No. 1110-138, signed by the FAA Administrator on
October 10, 2003, the NPOAG became an Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(ARC). FAA Order No. 1110-138, was amended and became effective as FAA
Order No. 1110-138A, on January 20, 2006.
    The current NPOAG ARC is made up of one member representing general
aviation, three members representing the air tour industry, four
members representing environmental concerns, and two members
representing Native American interests. Current members of the NPOAG
ARC are: Heidi Williams, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association; Alan
Stephen, fixed-winged air tour operator representative; Elling
Halvorson, Papillon Airways, Inc.; Matthew Zuccaro, Helicopters
Association International.; Chip Dennerlein, Siskiyou Project; Greg
Miller, American Hiking Society; Mark Peterson, National Audubon
Society; Don Barger, National Parks Conservation Association; Rory
Majenty, Hualapai Nation; and Richard Deertract, Taos Pueblo.

Public Participation in the NPOAG ARC

    In order to retain balance within the NPOAG ARC, the FAA and NPS
invite persons interested in serving on the ARC to represent
environmental concerns, to contact Mr. Barry Brayer (contact
information is written above in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
Requests to serve on the ARC must be made to Mr. Brayer in writing and
postmarked or e-mailed on or before December 5, 2007. The request
should indicate whether or not you are a member of an association or
group related to environmental issues or concerns or have another
affiliation with issues relating to aircraft flights over national
parks. The request should also state what expertise you would bring to
the NPOAG ARC as related to environmental concerns. The term of service
for NPOAG ARc members is 3 years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Nonmedical use,\1\ accidental exposure, and overdose associated
with prescription opioid analgesics remain a serious problem in the
United States. Patients commonly report having unused opioid analgesics
after treatment of acute pain, such as pain following surgical
procedures (Refs. 1 and 2). Opioid analgesics prescribed to treat
chronic pain conditions can also result in unused drugs. When not
properly disposed, these opioid analgesics provide opportunities for
nonmedical use, accidental exposure, and overdose. Accordingly, FDA's
efforts to address the opioid crisis include a focus on encouraging
appropriate disposal of unused opioid analgesics (for additional
information, see the Federal Register notice ``Providing Mail-Back
Envelopes and Education on Safe Disposal With Opioid Analgesics
Dispensed in an Outpatient Setting; Establishment of a Public Docket;
Request for Comments'' (April 21, 2022, 87 FR 23869; Sec. I.,
Background (Docket No. FDA-2022-N-0165)). The Substance Use-Disorder
Prevention That Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and
Communities Act (SUPPORT Act) (Pub. L. 115-271), signed into law on
October 24, 2018, provides FDA authorities to address the opioid
crisis. The SUPPORT Act authorized FDA to require through a REMS that a
safe disposal packaging or safe disposal system be dispensed to certain
patients with opioids or other drugs that pose a serious risk of abuse
or overdose if, among other things, FDA determines that such safe
disposal packaging or system may mitigate such risks and is
sufficiently available (21 U.S.C. 355-1(e)(4)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We use the term ``nonmedical'' in this document to refer to
misuse of a drug, abuse of a drug, or both. ``Misuse'' is the
intentional use, for therapeutic purposes, of a drug in a manner
other than prescribed. ``Abuse'' is the intentional, non-therapeutic
use of a drug, even once, for its desirable psychological or
physiological effects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Topic for Public Input

    This request for information is part of FDA's ongoing efforts to
determine whether in-home disposal products can be expected to meet the
public health goal of mitigating the risk of nonmedical use or overdose
if the Agency were to require drug manufacturers to make these products
available to patients under a REMS. On June 26 and 27, 2023, NASEM's
Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation will hold a
public workshop entitled ``Defining and Evaluating In-Home Disposal
Systems for Opioid Analgesics.''
    The purpose of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for
stakeholders to examine in-home drug disposal systems, with a focus on
removing unused opioid analgesics from the home. The workshop will
feature invited presenters and discussions to explore the types of in-
home drug disposal options, other than mail-back envelopes, which could
be used to remove unused opioid analgesics from the home. This will
include, among other things, a discussion of the scientific,
behavioral, health equity, and policy considerations for assessing the
safety, use, and effectiveness of in-home drug disposal options.
    Workshop participants will address questions about the methods
(e.g., sequestration, adsorption, absorption) used in in-home disposal
options for rendering opioids unavailable for nonmedical use, assuming
the in-home disposal product is used as intended. In addition, workshop
participants will discuss approaches and methodologies needed to
evaluate the safe and correct use of in-home drug disposal options in
real-world settings. Finally, workshop participants will consider
potential strategies for encouraging and assessing the development and
use of in-home drug disposal options. Additional meeting information,
including the briefing document, agenda, and presentations, will be
made available at https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/advancing-regulatory-science-for-defining-and-evaluating-in-home-safe-disposal-systems-a-workshop closer to the workshop date. FDA is seeking
information and comments on the topics discussed at this meeting.
