[Docket No. FDA-2023-P-2339]

Determination That K-TAB (Potassium Chloride) Extended-Release
Tablets, 10 Milliequivalents and 20 Milliequivalents, Were Not
Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has
determined that K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-release tablets, 10
milliequivalents and 20 milliequivalents, were not withdrawn from sale
for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination will allow
FDA to approve abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for potassium
chloride extended-release tablets, 10 milliequivalents (meqs) and 20
meqs, if all other legal and regulatory requirements are met.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Veniqua Stewart, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6219, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-3627, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 505(j) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)) allows the submission of
an ANDA to market a generic version of a previously approved drug
product. To obtain approval, the ANDA applicant must show, among other
things, that the generic drug product: (1) has the same active
ingredient(s), dosage form, route of administration, strength,
conditions of use, and (with certain exceptions) labeling as the listed
drug, which is a version of the drug that was previously approved, and
(2) is bioequivalent to the listed drug. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    Section 505(j)(7) of the FD&C Act requires FDA to publish a list of
all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ``Approved
Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is
known generally as the ``Orange Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs
are removed from the list if the Agency withdraws or suspends approval
of the drug's NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness or if
FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons
of safety or effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale,
but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed
drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that
does not refer to a listed drug.
    K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-release tablets, 10 meqs and 20
meqs, are two of the subjects of NDA 018279, held by AbbVie Inc. The
NDA was initially approved on June 9, 1980. K-TAB is indicated for the
treatment and prophylaxis of hypokalemia with or without metabolic
alkalosis in patients for whom dietary management with potassium-rich
foods or diuretic dose reduction is insufficient.
    The K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-release tablets, 10 meqs
and 20 meqs, are currently listed in the ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' section of the Orange Book.
    Granules India Ltd. submitted a citizen petition dated June 8, 2023
(Docket No. FDA-2023-P-2339), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting that the
Agency determine whether K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-release
tablets, 10 meqs and 20 meqs, were withdrawn from sale for reasons of
safety or effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined
under Sec.  314.161 that K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-release
tablets, 10 meqs and 20 meqs, were not withdrawn for reasons of safety
or effectiveness. The petitioner has identified no data or other
information suggesting that K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-release
tablets, 10 meqs and 20 meqs, were withdrawn for reasons of safety or
effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our files for records
concerning the withdrawal of K-TAB (potassium chloride) extended-
release tablets, 10 meqs and 20 meqs, from sale. We have also
independently evaluated relevant literature and data for possible
postmarketing adverse events. We have reviewed the available evidence
and determined that these drug products were not withdrawn from sale
for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list K-TAB (potassium

chloride) extended-release tablets, 10 meqs and 20 meqs, in the
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange Book. The
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' delineates, among other items, drug
products that have been discontinued from marketing for reasons other
than safety or effectiveness. ANDAs that refer to these drug products
may be approved by the Agency as long as they meet all other legal and
regulatory requirements for the approval of ANDAs. If FDA determines
that labeling for this drug products should be revised to meet current
standards, the Agency will advise ANDA applicants to submit such
labeling.

    Dated: July 31, 2023.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2012-0900]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone, Coast Guard Exercise Area, Hood Canal, Washington

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone around
vessels involved in Coast Guard training exercises in Hood Canal, WA.
This is necessary to ensure the safety of the maritime public during
these exercises, which involve fast moving surface vessels, smoke
machines, pyrotechnics, and other elements which could create safety
concerns for waterway users. This safety zone ensures the safety of the
maritime public by prohibiting any person or vessel from entering or
remaining in the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the
Port (COTP) or a Designated Representative.

DATES: This rule is effective March 7, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard published a NPRM, Safety Zone, Coast Guard Exercise
Area, Hood Canal, Washington, on October 5, 2012. The Coast Guard
received zero comments submitted via regulations.gov and received zero
requests for public meeting. However, on November 4, 2012, pursuant to
a request by the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, the Coast Guard held a
consultation meeting with the Tribe to discuss this rule. Details of
that meeting are contained in a separate document which has been placed
in the docket for this rulemaking.
    We also note that temporary final rules have been established and
published for previous Coast Guard exercises of this type in the Hood
Canal on October 28, 2011, May 08, 2012, and on September 26, 2012. No
negative comments or complaints were received pertaining to these
rules.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard utilizes the northern part of the Hood Canal, WA to
conduct training exercises. During these exercises, tactical vessels
are maneuvering through the Hood Canal from the entrance of Dabob Bay
to Foul Weather Bluff. These exercises include fast moving surface
vessels, smoke machines, and pyrotechnics. Blank ammunition, flares and
LA51 warning munitions may be used during these exercises. This safety
zone is necessary to ensure the safety of the maritime public and
vessels participating in these exercises. It prevents collisions
between vessels in the exercise and the maritime public by keeping the
maritime public a safe distance away from potentially startling or
disorienting smoke, bright flashes, and loud noises.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The safety zone established by this rule prohibits any person or
vessel from entering or remaining within 500 yards of any vessel
involved in Coast Guard training exercises in the northern area of Hood
Canal, WA. Members of the maritime public will be able to identify
participating vessels as those flying the Coast Guard Ensign. The COTP
may also be assisted in the enforcement of the zone by other federal,
state, or local agencies. Notification may also include but is not
limited to, Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    We did not receive any public comments or requests for public
meetings during the comment period. However, the Coast Guard did meet
with the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe at their request. In response to
the issues raised at that meeting, the Coast Guard is increasing the
notification period for enforcement of the rule from 10 days to 45
days. Additionally, in order to clarify certain aspects of the rule,
the Coast Guard has added some definitions to the regulatory text.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard bases
this finding on the fact that the safety zone will be in place for a
limited period of time and vessel traffic will be able to transit
around the safety zone. Maritime traffic may also request permission to
transit through the zone from the COTP, Puget Sound or a Designated
Representative.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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 received zero comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. 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.
    This rule would affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owners and operators of vessels intending to
operate in the waters covered by the safety zone while it is in effect.
This rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities because the safety zone would be in place for
limited periods of time and maritime traffic would still be able to
transit around the safety zone. Maritime traffic may also request
permission to transit through the zone from the COTP, Puget Sound or a
Designated Representative.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this 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.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    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
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    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 determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact 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.

7. 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.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    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. However, we note that
the Coast Guard did consult with the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe at
their request during the rulemaking process, and considered their input
when devising this final rule.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(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 the establishment of a safety zone.
This rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical
Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

Amendment 39-18130; AD 2015-07-02]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and
CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. This
AD was prompted by a determination that the forward lugs of the flap
hinge box might not conform to engineering drawings, which could result
in premature fatigue cracking. This AD requires revising the
maintenance or inspection program to include new airworthiness
limitations tasks; and measuring the forward lug edge distance of each
flap hinge box, inspecting for cracking and damage (i.e., deformation
or bearing failure) of the forward lug edge of each flap hinge box, and
repairing any cracking or damage if necessary. We are issuing this AD
to detect and correct non-conforming flap hinge box forward lugs, which
could result in failure of the lugs and detachment of the flap hinge
box and consequent detachment of the flap surface.

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 4, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-
601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on August 4, 2014 (79 FR 45140). The NPRM was
prompted by a determination that the forward lugs of the flap hinge box
might not conform to engineering drawings, which could result in
premature fatigue cracking. The NPRM proposed to require revising the
maintenance or inspection program to include new airworthiness
limitations tasks; and measuring the forward lug edge distance of each
flap hinge box, inspecting for cracking and damage (i.e., deformation
or bearing failure) of the forward lug edge of each flap hinge box, and
repairing any cracking or damage if necessary. We are issuing this AD
to detect and correct non-conforming flap hinge box forward lugs, which
could result in failure of the lugs and detachment of the flap hinge
box and consequent detachment of the flap surface.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2014-01, dated January 3, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-
600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and
CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The aeroplane manufacturer has determined that the flap hinge
box forward lugs edge distance may not conform to the engineering
drawings. Non-conforming flap hinge box forward lugs may result in
premature fatigue cracking.
    Failure of the lugs could lead to the detachment of the flap
hinge box and consequently the detachment of the flap surface. The
loss of a flap surface could adversely affect the continued safe
operation of the aeroplane.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of new Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks (TLMC) Airworthiness Limitations (AWL)
tasks, and the measurement [and inspection for cracking and damage]
of the forward lug edge distance of each flap hinge-box and
rectification as required.

    Corrective actions include repairing damage and cracking. You may
examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov/

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM (79
FR 45140, August 4, 2014) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Include Latest Revision of Service Information

    Bombardier, Inc. requested that we revise the NPRM (79 FR 45140,
August 4, 2014) to reflect the latest revisions of certain service
information.
    We agree to include the latest revisions of certain service
information. Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 604-57-007,
Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014 (for Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes);
and Service Bulletin 605-57-005, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014
(for Model CL-600-2B16 airplanes). This new service information does
not add new work for the affected airplanes and was revised to update
labor hours needed to perform the work and clarify work instructions.
We have changed this AD to reference Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-
57-007, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014; and Bombardier Service
Bulletin 605-57-005, Revision 01, dated November 12, 2014, throughout.
We have also added a new paragraph (k) to this AD to give credit for
actions performed before the effective date of this AD using Bombardier
Service Bulletin 604-57-007, dated September 26, 2013; and Bombardier
Service Bulletin 605-57-005, dated September 26, 2013. We redesignated
subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Request To Correct Typographical Errors

    Bombardier, Inc., and an FAA airframe and powerplant mechanic noted
typographical errors in Table 1 of the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4,
2014) and requested they be corrected.
    We agree that there are typographical errors. We have revised table
1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. The temporary revision (TR) number has
been corrected to read ``5-275,'' in certain rows of table 1 to
paragraph (g) of this AD, where in the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4,
2014) the previous TR number read ``5-276.'' The revision of Bombardier
CL-604 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks Manual, dated July 8, 2013, was
corrected from revision ``8'' to revision ``20.''

 Explanation of Additional Change Made to This Final Rule

    We have removed Note 1 to paragraph (g) from this final rule.
Instead, we have included that information in paragraph (g) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 2014) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 45140, August 4, 2014).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 105 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 45 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD on U.S. operators to be $401,625, or $3,825 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the cost of parts or on-condition actions specified
in 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 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 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.
