Draft Guidance for Industry on Tablet Scoring: Nomenclature,
Labeling, and Data for Evaluation; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Tablet
Scoring: Nomenclature, Labeling, and Data for Evaluation.'' This draft
guidance provides recommendations to sponsors of new drug applications
(NDAs) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) regarding what
criteria should be met to facilitate the evaluation and labeling of
tablets that have been scored. (A scoring feature facilitates tablet
splitting, which is the practice of breaking or cutting a higher-
strength tablet into smaller portions.) Specifically, this draft
guidance recommends guidelines to follow, data to provide, and criteria
to meet and detail in an application to approve a scored tablet; and
nomenclature and labeling for approved scored tablets.
    This guidance does not address specific finished-product release
testing, where additional requirements may be appropriate for scored
tablets.

DATES: Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR
10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that the Agency considers your comment on this
draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the
guidance, submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by November 28, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the draft
guidance to the Division of Drug Information, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 2201, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send
one self-addressed adhesive label to assist that office in processing
your requests. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for electronic
access to the draft guidance document.
    Submit electronic comments on the draft guidance to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane,
rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Tablet Scoring: Nomenclature, Labeling, and Data for
Evaluation.'' This draft guidance provides recommendations to sponsors
of NDAs and ANDAs regarding what criteria should be met to facilitate
the evaluation and labeling of tablets that have been scored. (A
scoring feature facilitates tablet splitting, which is the practice of
breaking or cutting a higher-strength tablet into smaller portions.)
Specifically, this draft guidance recommends:
     Guidelines to follow, data to provide, and criteria to
meet and detail in an application to approve a scored tablet.
     Nomenclature and labeling for approved scored tablets.
    The Agency has previously considered tablet scoring as an issue
when determining whether a generic drug product is the same as the
reference listed drug (RLD). One characteristic of a tablet dosage form
is that it may be manufactured with a score or scores. This
characteristic is useful because the score can be used to facilitate
the splitting of the tablet into fractions when less than a full tablet
is desired for a dose. Although there are no standards or regulatory
requirements that specifically address scoring of tablets, the Agency
recognizes the need for consistent scoring between a generic product
and its RLD.
    Consistent scoring ensures that the patient is able to adjust the
dose, by splitting the tablet, in the same manner as the RLD. This
enables the patient to switch between products made by different
manufacturers without encountering problems related to the dose. In
addition, consistent scoring ensures that neither the generic product
nor the RLD has an advantage in the marketplace because one is scored
and one is not.
    CDER's Drug Safety Oversight Board considered the practice of
tablet splitting at its October 2009 and November 2010 meetings. During
those meetings, they discussed how insurance companies and doctors are
increasingly recommending that patients split tablets, either to adjust
the patients' dose or as a cost-saving measure.

Because of this, the Agency conducted internal research on tablet
splitting and concluded that in some cases, there are possible safety
issues, especially when tablets are not scored or evaluated for
splitting. The Agency's concerns with splitting a tablet included
variations in the tablet content, weight, disintegration, or
dissolution, which can affect how much drug is present in a split
tablet and available for absorption. In addition, there may be
stability issues with splitting tablets.
    Tablet splitting also is addressed in pharmacopeial standards. The
European Pharmacopeia currently applies accuracy of subdivision
standards for scored tablets--and has at various times also included
standards for content uniformity, weight variation, and loss of mass--
while the United States Pharmacopeia published a Stimuli article in
2009 proposing criteria for loss of mass and accuracy of subdivision
for split tablets.\1\

``Pharmacopeial Standards for the Subdivision Characteristics of
Scored Tablets,'' Pharmacopeial Forum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As an outgrowth of these discussions and developments, FDA is
providing recommendations for application content regarding the
scientific basis for functional scores on solid oral dosage form
products to ensure the quality of both NDA and ANDA scored tablet
products. To accomplish this, the Agency has developed consistent and
meaningful criteria by which scored tablets can be evaluated and
labeled. The criteria are as follows: (1) Provide a harmonized approach
to chemistry, manufacturing, and controls reviews of scored tablets;
(2) ensure consistency in nomenclature (e.g., score versus bisect) and
labeling; and (3) provide information through product labeling or other
means to healthcare providers.
    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 tablet
scoring: nomenclature, labeling, and data for evaluation. 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Sunshine Act Meeting

    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the
Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that the Securities
and Exchange Commission will hold an Open Meeting on July 26, 2011 at
10 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L-002, to hear oral argument in an
appeal by International Power Group, Ltd. (IPWG) from action by the
Depository Trust Company (DTC).
    DTC operates an automated, centralized system for book-entry
movement of securities positions in the accounts of its Participants,
broker-dealers and other firms, with respect to trades of Eligible
Securities. DTC provides two levels of services to its Participants for
Eligible Securies: (1) A full range of depository services including
book-entry delivery and settlement, and (2) custodial service. IPWG is
a Delaware corporation, the common stock of which was accepted by the
DTC as an Eligible Security for all purposes.
    On September 30, 2009, DTC issued an ``Important Notice'' that
stated, ``As a result of [certain civil litigation], DTC has suspended
all services, except Custody Services, for [the common stock of
IPWG].''
    IPWG challenges DTC's issuance of the Important Notice. Issues
likely to be considered at oral argument include whether the Commission
has jurisdiction to hear IPWG's challenge pursuant to Securities
Exchange Act Section 19(f), and the extent to which DTC is required to
provide fair procedures to issuers such as IPWG pursuant to Securities
Exchange Act 17A(b)(3)(H).
    At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in
the scheduling of meeting items.
    For further information, please contact the Office of the Secretary
at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

July 19, 2004 Mr. J. I. Palmer, Jr. Regional Administrator U. S. EPA, Region IV Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center 61 Forsyth Street, S. W. Atlanta, GA 30303 Mr. Richard E. Greene Regional Administrator U. S. EPA, Region VI 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 1200 Dallas, TX 75202 RE: Supplement to July 14, 2004 Petition for Downward Reclassification for Memphis Ozone Non Attainment Area Dear Mr. Palmer and Mr. Greene:

In our July 14, 2004 reclassification petition for Shelby County, Tennessee and Crittenden County, Arkansas, the State of Tennessee committed to providing a supplement to this petition to detail action taken by the Tennessee Air Board at its meeting July 14 15, 2004. As specified in part III of the petition, the following measures were taken before the Board:

  RACT Rule for NOx;

  Expanded applicability of Stage I gasoline vapor emission control requirements;

  Vehicle Emissions Inspections;

  Anti tampering measures;

  Reduction of visible emissions of motor vehicles statewide; and   Reduction of unnecessary idling of motor vehicles statewide ( Anti Idling). Mr. J. I. Palmer, Jr. and Mr. Richard E. Greene July 19, 2004 The RACT rule for NOx that was presented to the Board was significantly different from that which was originally proposed to the public, primarily due to comments received during the public comment period. For this reason, the Board ruled that the revised rule needed to again be made available for public comment before further action was taken.

The Board approved the expansion of Stage I gasoline vapor emission control requirements to twenty three additional counties, including Fayette, Haywood, and Tipton Counties in the Memphis area ( Shelby County is already subject to this requirement). This will result in estimated statewide emissions reductions of 5,844 tons of volatile organic compounds per year. A copy of the approved rule is included as Attachment 1.

The Board expanded the vehicle emission inspection program to include Hamilton County ( Chattanooga). They also increased the minimum gross vehicle weight rate subject to inspection from 8,500 pounds to 10,500 pounds, and removed the exemption for light duty diesel powered motor vehicles. The City of Memphis will voluntarily upgrade the existing inspection program OBD II testing. A copy of the approved rule is included as Attachment 2.

The Board approved the motor vehicle anti tampering provisions with some modifications to the record keeping requirements from the originally proposed rule. A copy of the approved rule is included as Attachment 3.

The Board elected not to take action on the proposed smoking vehicle rule.

The Board elected not to take action on the proposed vehicle anti idling rule.

Tennessee appreciates your consideration of this petition. If you have any questions about this information, please contact Barry Stephens, our Air Pollution Control Director, at ( 615) 532 0525, or Betsy Child, Commissioner of the Department of Environment and Conservation, at ( 615) 532 0106.

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

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule `` under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0234]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Fireworks Display, Great Egg Harbor Bay, Ocean City,
NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary safety
zone for certain navigable waters of Great Egg Harbor Bay in Ocean
City, NJ. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and
the marine environment from potential hazards created by a barge-based
fireworks display. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is
prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port
(COTP) Delaware Bay. Vessels within the zone prior to the enforcement
period must leave the zone before the enforcement period begins. We
invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 24, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2023-0234 using the Federal Decision-Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email Petty Officer Dylan Caikowski, Sector Delaware Bay,
Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (215) 271-
4814, email [email protected].

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, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On February 16, 2023, Ocean City, New Jersey notified the Coast
Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from 9:15 p.m. to
9:30 p.m. on July 29, 2023. The fireworks are to be launched from a
barge in Great Egg Harbor Bay in the vicinity of Rainbow Channel.
Hazards from a fireworks display include accidental discharge of
fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other
debris. The COTP has determined that potential hazards associated with
the fireworks to be used in this display would be a safety concern for
anyone within a 600-foot radius of the barge.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within a 600-foot radius of the fireworks
barge before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to establish a safety zone from 9 p.m. to
9:45 p.m. on July 29, 2023. The safety zone would cover all navigable
waters within 600 feet of a barge in Great Egg Harbor Bay located at
approximate position latitude 39[deg]17'23.7'' N, longitude
074[deg]34'31.3'' W. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the
safety of vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after
the scheduled 9:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. fireworks display. No vessel or
person would be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. The regulatory
text we are proposing appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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 NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the following
factors: (1) although persons and vessels may not enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without
authorization from the COTP Delaware Bay or a designated
representative, they may operate in the surrounding area during the
enforcement period; (2) persons and vessels will still be able to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
if authorized by the COTP Delaware Bay; and (3) the Coast Guard will
provide advance notification of the safety zone to the local maritime
community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would 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
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rule would economically affect it.
    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 proposed rule. If the proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the potential effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves a safety
zone lasting 45 minutes that would prohibit entry within 600 feet of a
fireworks barge. Normally such actions are 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 preliminary 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. We seek any comments or information
that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact
from this proposed rule.

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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
