        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to revise regulations governing nondiscrimination in programs and activities conducted by the Department. The proposal would remove current regulation on this subject, place it in a new part; clarify that the regulation applies to all Department-conducted programs and activities; add familial status and marital status to the protected classes contained in the regulation; add a provision on Department agencies' compliance efforts; reflect that the Assistant Secretary for Administration has been delegated the authority to make final determinations as to whether prohibited discrimination occurred and the corrective action required to solve complaints; remove the appendix to the regulation that lists the Department programs subject to these provisions; and make other clarifications to the regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The National Aquaculture Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service proposes to revise the National Aquaculture Development Plan of 1983 (1983 Plan). The revision, the National Aquaculture Development Plan of 1996 (1996 Plan) was deemed necessary by the Joint Subcommittee on Aquaculture (JSA), a committee of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), because developing a strong domestic aquaculture industry in the 21st Century is in the national interest due to factors such as declining global and U.S. capture fisheries stocks, substantial U.S. reliance on imported seafood, and a burgeoning global aquaculture industry. The National Aquaculture Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-362, Stat. 1198. 16 USC 2801) provided the original authority for the JSA to undertake development of the original National Aquaculture Development Plan and any future revisions. President Clinton established the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) by Executive Order on November 23, 1993.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulation Governing the Financing of Commercial Sales of Agricultural Commodities (PL 480, Title I)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule revises the P.L. 480, title I financing regulations to simplify and streamline the purchasing and shipment of commodities by --Removing the requirement that the buyer open letters of credit through a U.S. bank for the commodity and for ocean freight costs financed by CCC. Instead, CCC would pay the suppliers directly. --Permitting any suppliers eligible under the GSM-102 or GSM-103 programs to participate in title I, without submitting additional information --Eliminating the requirement that suppliers report to USDA any payments to representatives of the importer or importing country, due to repeal of the underlying legislation. --Deleting appendices A and B from the regulations; the specific contracting and documentation requirements for the commodity will be placed in each purchase authorization. --Defining the term "private entity" based on the 1996 FAIR Act, which provided that title I agreements may be signed with private entities as well as with foreign governments. --Requiring shipping agents to provide background information only once per fiscal year instead of with every nomination. --Transferring to FAS the notice of sale, price review, and vessel approval functions for cotton, which are now performed by the Kansas City Commodity Office, FSA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule changes the definition of a United States Agricultural Commodity under the EEP, DEIP, GSM-102, GSM-103, and SCGP in response to a provision of the 1996 Fair Act which became effective April 4, 1996. The revised definition contains two subparagraphs. The first subparagraph is similar to the former definition of a U.S. Agricultural Commodity. The second subparagraph applies only to a product of an agricultural commodity that has been designated by the Secretary as a high value product.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The advance notice of proposed rulemaking requests comments on the Commodity Credit Corporation's export bonus programs. The EEP, DEIP, SOAP, and COAP options for reform of these export bonus programs are being considered as an effort to respond to the GATT Uruguay Round Agreement that established new mandates for USDA/CCC's export subsidy programs. Additionally, programs will be more flexible in responding to changing world market conditions and serve to fulfill policy goals for increased administrative efficiency and lower program costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the tobacco marketing quota regulations to improve program operation. The principal changes are (1) provide for inequity adjustments by common ownership units within a farm, (2) clarify the date for mailing farm acreage allotment and marketing quota notices to farmers, (3) allow approval of disaster lease and transfer of tobacco allotments or quotas for cash-rented farms without the owner's signature, (4) provide more discretion in determining quota penalties, and (5) codify provisions for establishing national marketing quotas for burley and flue-cured tobacco. No cost is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Regulations for Procurement of Processed Agricultural Commodities for Donation To Comply With the Maritime Security Act of 1996</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will revise CCC procedures for purchasing agricultural products for donation overseas under PL 480 in order to implement the requirements of the Maritime Security Act of 1996 and to provide a more efficient process. Specifically, the Act requires that CCC (1) allocate 100% of bagged, processed, or fortified commodities on a lowest landed cost basis without regard to country of vessel registry, (2) on the basis of the 100% LLC evaluation, allocate 25% of title II tonnage to the Great Lakes range without regard to flag, (3) not allow reallocation of such tonnage to port ranges if the Great Lakes tonnage does not exceed 25%, and (4) ensure that total national tonnage meets the cargo preference requirements on an annual tonnage basis. The rule will evaluate several controversial issues regarding the amendments. In the interim, the statute is being interpreted to define Great Lakes cargo as cargo offered for delivery f.a.s. vessel. All other movements, i.e. bridgeport movements, will not be allocated to the Great Lakes range. Cost to the Government of this action will be negligible.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Farmer Programs Guaranteed Interest Assistance Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will provide for a government subsidy to lenders for interest rates for guaranteed Farmer Programs loans so the borrower will be paying interest rates for guaranteed loans that are similar to insured loans. This should provide an incentive for using the guaranteed loan program. The Government will pay a lender up to 90 percent of the losses on loans and part of the interest rate rather than loaning a borrower the full amount of the loan and the full cost of the Government borrowing the money for an insured loan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agricultural Credit Improvement Act of 1992 requires the Farm Service Agency (FSA) to change its procedures for notifying applicants for farmer program loans and loan guarantees when information is needed to complete an application. In addition, County Offices will now be required to report applications that remain pending 45 days after receipt, and the reasons they remain pending. The Agency is also required to report to the Congress every month each application pending more that 50 days after its receipt. In addition, County Committees are required under the Act to review all applications for direct and guaranteed farmer programs loans not later than 5 days after receipt if there is more than one other complete application pending, and not later than 15 days if there are no other complete applications pending. These changes will ensure more timely and consistent processing of applications. Otherwise, their impact on the Agency should be minimal. Impact on applicants and participating lenders should be favorable, regarding timeliness in processing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is needed to implement the peanut price support program, as required by statute. The price support levels provide a domestic price floor for quota and additional peanuts. The price support level for quota peanuts is set by statutory formula at 610 per ton for the 1996 through 2002 crops of peanuts. The support level for additional peanuts must be set at a level that ensures that CCC incurs no losses from the price support program. The minimum export-edible sales price is set at the Secretary's discretion, and has been set at $400 per ton for each of the previous 8 years. The Peanut Program, which also includes the poundage quota program is required by law to operate at no net cost to the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will clarify the requirements for sending a "Notice of the Availability of Loan Service Programs and Debt Settlement Programs for Delinquent Farm Borrowers". Currently, notices must be sent after a bankruptcy is dismissed, even if the borrower was previously notified, all servicing rights have been exhausted, and the account has been accelerated. The required notice is over 20 pages of information and forms. Sending them after acceleration delays resolution of the delinquency and provides no benefit to the borrower since no options are any longer available. This change will provide that notices will be sent after a borrower is dismissed from bankruptcy if the borrower was not previously notified and the account has not been accelerated. No cost is expected from this action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement a direct operating line of credit, to be operated similarly to the successful guaranteed line of credit program. The line of credit will allow multiple advances and will be used to provide annual operating needs only. Currently, operating loans require a Treasury check each year as well as a heavy paperwork burden for the Agency and applicants to apply for a new loan each year. The line of credit will establish a revolving credit account and will not require an annual outlay. Re-disbursement of funds each year will be conditioned on performance in the previous year and projected repayment in the coming year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The flue-cured tobacco quota and price support program is required by statute. The purpose of the program is to balance supply and demand at levels assuring stable supplies for domestic and export use at prices that are considered sufficient for producers. the national quota is based on cigarette manufacturers' intentions, 3-year average exports, a loan stocks adjustment, and a discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 3 percent. The price support level is based on a formula that averages market prices (2/3 weight) and a cost index (1/3 weight), with discretion to limit any increase to 65 percent of the formula increase. Marketing quotas were approved by producers in a referendum in January, 1995. Gross loan outlays of $95 million in FY's 1997 and 1998 are expected to be offset by repayments and no-net-cost assessments in FY 1997 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

The quota is based on a statutory formula that uses the Secretary's estimate of the amount of peanuts required for domestic food and related uses for the marketing year. The price support levels provide a domestic price floor for quota and additional peanuts and a minimum export-edible sales price for additional peanuts. The peanut program, which includes the poundage quota, price support, and export policies, will incur gross outlays of about $18 million, which are expected to be offset by repayments and assessments in FY 1997 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The burley tobacco marketing quota and price support program is required by statute. The program's purpose is to balance supply with demand at levels assuring stable supplies for domestic and export use at prices that are considered sufficient for producers. The national quota is based on cigarette manufacturers intentions, 3-year average exports, a loan stock adjustment, and a discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 3 percent. The price support level is based on a formula that averages market prices (2/3 weight) and a cost index (1/3 weight), plus discretion to limit any increase to 65 percent of the formula increase. Marketing quotas were approved by producers in a referendum in February, 1995. Gross loan outlays of $40 million in FY 1998 are expected to be offset by loan repayments and no-net-cost assessments in FY 1998 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>1997-Crop Marketing Quotas and Price Support Level for Six Kinds of Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Marketing quotas/acreage allotments and price support are required by statute for these kinds of tobacco: Fire-cured (type 21), Fire-cured (types 22-23), Dark Air-cured (types 35-36). Virginia Sun-cured (type 37), Cigar Filler (type 46), and Cigar Filler and Binder (types 42-44 and 53-55). Quotas and allotments are determined by statutory formula to balance supply and demand to assure stable supplies for domestic and export use. Marketing quotas are implemented if approved by producers in referenda. Producers have approved quotas for the 1997 crops of fire-cured (types 21-23), dark air-cured (types 35-36), and sun-cured (type 37). Referenda for the other types are scheduled for March, 1997. Producers of these types have historically favored quotas. Price support levels are set by statutory formula. The Secretary may reduce the level at the request of producer associations and may limit increases to 65 percent of the formula increase. Gross loan outlays of $3 million in FY 1998 are expected to be offset by loan redemptions and no-net-cost assessments in FY 1998 and subsequent years, for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is needed to allow for the waiver of restrictions on program eligibility, as authorized by the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1990 (the Act), and to facilitate the collection of judgments by administrative offset. The Act provides that debtors who have judgment liens against their property for a debt owed to the United States are not eligible to receive grants or loans made by the United States until the debt is paid in full or otherwise satisfied. However, the Act also permits agencies to waive this restriction. In addition, the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to collect debts for other Federal agencies by administrative offset upon receipt of (1) a qualified offset request, (2) a Notice of Levy, or (3) a request or approval by the Department of Justice. This action would authorize ASCS to collect judgments in favor of the United States by administrative offset. This action will result in increased collection of debts owed to the Government.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action is needed to revise the forms that sugarcane processors, sugar beet processors, and cane refiners use to report information to USDA needed to administer the sugar and crystalline fructose marketing allotment program. The new forms significantly reduce the reporting burden on the sugar industry by eliminating the need to report data on distributions of liquid sugar separately from other, noncrystalline sugars. In response to industry requests, the new forms ask for price data that will be used to administer the program. No impact on Government outlays is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action would shift jurisdiction for auction tobacco warehouses from the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA) Regulations to the Tobacco Marketing Quota Regulations. Aspects of the USWA regulations will be added to the quota regulations to give producer depositors a level of protection similar to that they would find in a USWA warehouse, including bonding, net worth, inventory management, recordkeeping, and fee approval requirements. No cost to Government is expected. Cost to the tobacco industry will likely be about $1.4 to $3.7 million.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Certified Lender Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Lenders participating in the Guaranteed Loan Program have cited the excessive amount of paperwork and time required to apply for and receive approval on guaranteed loans as a deterrent to participation in the program. The Agency assembled a Guaranteed Overview Task Force to identify specific forms and regulations that could be eliminated or revised without increasing the risk to the Government. Fewer forms and a streamlined process will reduce operating costs for both the Farm Service Agency and lenders. Regulations were being drafted when a law was passed requiring a Certified Lender Program, along with a simplified application process for guaranteed loans of $50,000 or less.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency proposes to amend its regulations and appropriate Lenders Agreement, Form FmHA 449-35, to clarify the circumstances and to establish a timeframe under which the decision to liquidate will be made. The intended effect is to provide three independent criteria to serve as the basis for determining when the decision to liquidate should occur. The anticipated benefit will be that liquidations will occur more uniformly when the three criteria are met. This will provide more guidance to the lender regarding how to proceed when all other workout situations have been exhausted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disaster Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the regulations to improve and expedite the disaster designation process that will make emergency loan (EM) assistance available in a more expeditious manner in declared/designated disaster areas to assist family farmers whose operations have sustained qualifying losses as a result of a major or natural disaster, and who wish to apply for such loan assistance. The regulation would also continue to be out of date with the current policy of basing countywide production losses on a major single enterprise only, in lieu of requiring a determination of countywide production losses in all crops. To change the regulation will bring the designation process in line with the current policy of eliminating the requirement for determining a 30 percent countywide reduction in the normal year's dollar value of all crops in a county(ies). This action will update and improve the process of current policy if there is a 30 percent or greater countywide reduction in the normal year's dollar value of a single enterprise (single crop), which is considered a major enterprise or crop in the county, or a determination that extenuating circumstances exist and warrant a designation under the Secretary of Agriculture's discretionary authority. This change will permit CFSA to automatically gather information for consideration of the Secretary's discretionary authority, and allow the Secretary to expeditiously designate the affected counties and make EM loans available to eligible family farmers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Farm Service Agency proposes to amend its direct farm ownership (FO) regulation to: (1) change and clarify the Agency's existing procedures on outreach provided to applicants/ borrowers who are members of socially disadvantaged groups, and to reference the policies and operating procedures for doing outreach as found in the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Handbook for the socially disadvantaged outreach program; (2) explain the Agency's policy pertaining to financing alternative agricultural enterprises; (3) revise Exhibit B on Target Participation Rates (TPRs) to remove the obsolete State TPRs and to provide for refinancing real estate debts, in justifiable cases, to prevent foreclosure action on farmland owned by socially disadvantaged applicants/borrowers; and (4) add a new section on the guidelines used in developing State and County TPRs, and to make reference to the FSA Handbook which contains the policies and procedures for targeting FO loan funds in accordance with the TPRs. This action is necessary in order to reach more socially disadvantaged individuals and make them aware of the statutory targeted FO loan assistance available to them under this program. Also, this action will result in better coordination of the outreach program at the Agency's County Office level.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Part 1946 Mediation; Subpart A Agricultural Loan Mediation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This new legislation expands the State Mediation Programs to include wetland determinations, conservation compliance, and other issues the Secretary deems appropriate. The intended effect of this action is to establish procedures for certification and for administering the matching grant program, and set out the Department's duties to participate in such programs. This rule also changes reference from Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) to the newly established Farm Service Agency (FSA) set forth in the Secretary's Memorandum 1010-1 implementing the reorganization authorities contained in H.R. 4217, the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994. Section 275 of the USDA Reorganization Act of 1994 requires mediation to be a part of the informal hearing process when an officer, employee, or committee of an agency makes an adverse decision. The legislation requires certification of a State's Mediation program in order to participate in mediation pursuant to a State's Certified Mediation program, and to enable a State to receive a Federal matching grant(s) to be used for the operation and administration of the program. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 1992 increased the percentage of grant to 70 percent from 50 percent of the cost of a State's program, limited to $500,000, whichever is the lesser. The Reorganization Act of 1994 extended the mediation program authority through Fiscal Year 2000.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment to Conservation Program Appeal Regulations Regarding Jurisdiction</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (the Act) change the appeals procedures applicable to producers affected by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) determinations on the conservation programs authorized by title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985. The Act provides that FSA shall have initial jurisdiction over administrative appeals resulting from an adverse determination, including those involving technical determinations by NRCS. Producers will no longer appeal separately to NRCS. The Act requires FSA to issue a rule with the concurrence of NRCS establishing procedures for review by NRCS of the technical determinations involved. Technical criteria used by NRCS shall be used by FSA as the basis for any decisions regarding technical determinations. If no review is requested, NRCS technical determinations shall be the technical basis for decisions rendered by county or area committees. No additional cost to USDA. Producers may save some money by being able to avoid the costs of separate appeals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation Procedures for Highly Erodible Land and Wetlands Conservation Provisions of the Food Security Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Subtitle B and subtitle C of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, Public Law 99-198, established requirements for the conservation of Wetlands and Highly Erodible Lands. These requirements were subsequently amended by the Food Agriculture Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, Public Law 101-624. The amendments, among other changes, would allow in some cases for graduated payment reductions rather than a complete loss of USDA program benefits to producers who contribute to excess soil erosion or wetlands conversion. Rural Housing Service, Rural Business-Cooperative Service, Rural Utilities Service and Farm Service Agency propose to revise existing regulations to reflect the amendments required by Public Law 101-624. In addition, the regulation will be reorganized and supplemented to improve understanding and ease of implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection of Shared Appreciation Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will clarify the requirements for collecting on Shared Appreciation Agreements (SAA's). SAA's are executed when a borrower has a portion of their debt forgiven through debt writedown. When the security property is sold, the loans are paid, or the farmer quits farming, the Agency collects a portion of the written-off debt from appreciation of the real-estate security. Current regulations allow collection only after transfer of title. This change will provide that acceleration of the loan triggers acceleration of the SAA and that no additional notices or appeals will be allowed. The regulations will also clarify that a new mortgage is not required to secure an SAA and that an amount due under an SAA may be paid in installments. This change will reduce costs resulting from litigation and loan losses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will consolidate FSA farm credit regulations currently contained in several parts of the CFR dealing with race classification, appeals, applicability of Federal law and individual liability, concentration banking, office management systems, credit reports, debarments and suspension, requirements for a drug-free work place, restrictions on lobbying, servicing of borrowers entering the armed forces, collections, unauthorized assistance, availability of information, gratuitous services, and other subjects. Regulations will be streamlined and moved from 7 CFR chapter XVIII to chapter XIV. This will reduce the number of Agency regulations and provide a more concise and organized format. Administrative instructions will remain in field-office instruction manuals and day-to-day management of FSA programs will not be affected. No cost is expected.]]></ABSTRACT>

Current regulations allow subordination of crops and feeder livestock security to secure a guaranteed loan made for similar purposes with a guarantee of up to 90 percent of principal and interest. However, a guarantee is not currently allowed when "hard security" is subordinated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Handling Payments From the Farm Service Agency to Delinquent Farm Credit Program Borrowers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will revise the requirements for the use of administrative offset to collect delinquent debts. The revision will eliminate the requirement that a delinquent borrower's account be accelerated prior to offset of payments to the borrower from other Agency programs. This will allow the Agency to directly apply payments from one program directly to delinquent debts under another, thus reducing losses to the Government by increasing collections. The increased collections are estimated at about $80 million over seven years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will allow the use of the Disaster Set-Aside Program for economic disasters. This will allow borrowers who cannot make payments because of a substantial decrease in livestock prices to set aside the next installment on each loan. There will be no additional costs related to this program. This action will be less costly than the alternative, which is to provide rescheduling, reamortization, deferral, or write-down of these debts. Under this action, no debt will be written off and the terms of the loans will not be extended. No appraisals or legal work are required. Interest will continue to accrue on set-aside principal at the same rate the non-set-aside principal is charged.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This amendment to the regulations will impose a Budget Deficit Marketing Assessment (BDMA) of one percent of the national price support level on imported tobacco for which price support is made available. The BDMA on imported tobacco shall be identical to the domestic marketing assessments on the same kind of domestically produced quota tobacco. Current legislation imposes a marketing assessment on importers of tobacco in an amount equal to the sum of the marketing assessments imposed on domestic purchasers of burley and flue-cured tobacco. This action will also request comments on some of the operational features of the assessment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>1996-Crop Marketing Quotas and Price Support Levels for Six Kinds of Tobacco</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Marketing quotas/acreage allotments and price support are required by statute for these types of tobacco: fire-cured (type 21), fire-cured (types 22-23), dark air-cured (types 35-36), Virginia sun-cured (type 37), cigar filler (type 46) and cigar filler and binder (types 42-44 and 53-55). Quotas and allotments are determined by statutory formula to balance supply with demand to assure stable supplies for domestic and export use. Marketing quotas are implemented if approved by producers in referenda. Producers approved quotas for the 1996 crops of fire-cured (types 21-23), dark air-cured (types 35-36), and sun-cured (type 37) in March 1994 and March 1995. Referenda for the other types are scheduled for March 1996. Producers of these types have historically voted in favor of quotas. Price support levels are set by statutory formula. The Secretary may reduce the level at the request of producer associations, and may limit increases to 65 percent of the formula increase. Gross loan outlays of $3 million in FY 1997 will be offset by loan redemptions and no-net-cost assessments in FY 1997 and subsequent years for a net cost of 0.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conservation Reserve Program--Long-Term Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will modify the CRP regulations to target the CRP to more environmentally sensitive acreage. It will also set forth terms and conditions for enrolling acreage. USDA may maintain enrollment at up to 36.4 million acres. The Department proposes to change existing land eligibility criteria to include all cropped wetland acreage and certain Water Bank acreage. The Department further proposes to provide additional financial incentives to producers to accelerate enrollment of certain environmentally sensitive land. The Department also seeks public comment regarding nonemergency haying and grazing provisions. The 1997 Agriculture Appropriations effectively prohibit the extension of CRP contracts. Therefore, CRP acreage that participants are seeking to reoffer must compete based on environmental benefits and costs. The cost of the CRP is expected to be about $6.8 billion greater over 7 years than if no new or extended contracts were allowed. However, in comparison with USDA plans to extend existing contracts under previous legislation, relatively small differences in costs will likely occur.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Group Risk Plan Crop Insurance Provisions; Part 407</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) hereby proposes to issue provisions which will outline a new risk management tool to be known as the Group Risk Plan of Insurance (GRP). This plan will insure against the widespread loss of production of certain crops in a county and is intended primarily for use by those farmers whose yields tend to follow the county average yield. GRP pays only when the average yield of the entire county drops below the expected county yield for the insured crop set by the FCIC. Payment is based on the percentage of county or area wide loss below the insured's trigger yield. Specific GRP Crop Insurance Provisions will be proposed for cotton, wheat, barley, corn, grain, sorghum, soybeans, forage production, and peanuts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation hereby proposes regulations for provisions to insure fresh market tomatoes (guaranteed production plan). The provisions will be used in conjunction with the common crop insurance policy which contains standard terms and conditions common to most crops. The intended effect of this action is to provide automatic coverage for late and prevented planting as well as make other minor policy changes to better meet the needs of the insured. This rule proposes to remove the fresh market tomato (guaranteed production plan) policy which currently is a "stand-alone" policy located at part 454 and move it under part 457, common crop insurance regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to establish a new subpart that describes the Corporation's intention to compile a list of those persons who have been found ineligible for participation in the Federal Crop Insurance Program because of various violations committed when either insured or reinsured by FCIC. Violations include nonpayment of premium, delinquent debt owed to FCIC, fraud misrepresentation, FCIC debarment or suspension, ineligibility determinations resulting from formal or informal administrative proceedings or from court rulings, or those arising from settlement agreements, as well as other violations of program regulations. Violations may also be declared because of violations of the conservation compliance or controlled substance provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990. The rule also proposes to preclude a person from receiving any benefits for the applicable crop year if it is determined that a person has knowingly adopted a scheme to obtain a catastrophic or noninsured benefit under the Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 to which the person was not entitled.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation hereby proposes regulations for provisions to insure dry beans. The provisions will be used in conjunction with the Common Crop Insurance Policy which contains standard terms and conditions common to most crops. The intended effect of this action is to provide automatic coverage for late and prevented planting as well as make other minor policy changes to better meet the needs of the insured. This rule proposes to remove the dry bean policy which currently is a "stand-alone" policy located at part 433 and move it under part 457, Common Crop Insurance Regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The current provisions that govern grant fund disbursement that were published on March 14, 1994, and October 27, 1994, need to be revised to provide more flexibility to advance grant funds to electric and telephone borrowers (the "grantees"). The Agency will review on a case-by-case basis the requirements for disbursement of funds and provide for the advance of funds on an appropriate basis. This rule will greatly improve the Agency's ability to advance grant funds in a manner that is in both the government and the grantee's best interest. The Agency and current grantees believe the changes should be made effective as soon as possible to avoid financial hardships for both the grantees and the ultimate recipients who will receive loans from the revolving loan funds. The Agency may also propose revisions to other sections pertaining to the selection factors, appeals process, bidding, and field review process. It will also receive a new number in the CFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal will implement a provision of the 1996 Farm Bill which authorizes the establishment of a certified and preferred lender program for rural development guaranteed loan programs.

        <RULE_TITLE>Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will incorporate the requirement for housing-related projects (such as apartment buildings, nursing homes, group homes, and assisted living type facilities) to develop an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (plan) when receiving funding from the Intermediary Relending Program, Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program, Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Programs and the Business and Industry Guaranteed Loan Program. The plan will describe strategies to attract applications from all groups in housing market area and efforts to reach those persons in the market area who traditionally would not be expected to apply for housing. The Rural Housing Service Multi-Family Housing Program regulations currently include this borrower requirement. We estimate this action will impact a total of 100 housing related projects not previously required to complete a plan.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will implement section 780 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (HR 2854) (Farm Bill). Section 780 of the Farm Bill repealed section 311 of the Rural Electrification Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 940a). Section 311 established a privatization demonstration program that allowed borrowers in Alaska 10, under certain circumstances, to prepay loans made by the Federal Financing Bank and guaranteed by RUS using private sector capital with a 90 percent guarantee. RUS regulations implementing this program are at 7 CFR 1786 subpart D. This regulatory action will remove 7 CFR 1786 subpart D which implemented this now defunct program. This action will enhance the delivery of customer service by removing an obsolete regulation. Because the statutory authority for this program no longer exists, no period for public comment is needed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Utilities Service proposes to add a new subpart to 7 CFR 1767 that codifies current policy on depreciation rates and procedures. Revisions are being proposed to the existing policy that will require continuing records to be maintained on a vintage year basis, and that set forth requirements for utilizing depreciation rates that vary from those that are prescribed in this subpart. Current RUS policy is set forth in Bulletin 183-1, which will be rescinded upon publication of the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

Current RUS policy on this subject is set forth in RUS Bulletin 180-2, Manual for Preservation of Borrower's Records.

        <RULE_TITLE>Loan Deferments for Energy Resources Conservation - Electric Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation will codify and update the current Rural Utilities Service (RUS) policy implemented through an RUS bulletin which will be rescinded when this rule is published final. This action is necessary to permit a principal payment extension of monthly billed accounts for the purpose of Energy Resources Conservation (ERC) loans. The current ERC loan program implemented in 1980 allows for the extension of only quarterly principal payments. All RUS loans approved on or after September 1, 1982, require monthly repayments while those loans approved prior to that date required quarterly repayments. This new regulation will codify the current ERC loan program and will amend it to include monthly billed accounts. Most RUS loans have a repayment period of 3.5 years.]]></ABSTRACT>

The updates to subpart E are needed to reflect the addition to 7 CFR 1710 of subpart H, Loans for Demand Side Management, Energy Conservation Programs, and On-Grid and Off-Grid Renewable Energy Systems. Subpart H was required by the Rural Electrification Loan Restructuring Act of 1993. Other changes to subpart E are intended to clarify the existing language without changing its overall intent.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To amend subject regulation which will provide more comprehensive guidance to applicants, lenders, and agency staff regarding financial assistance for essential guaranteed community facilities loans. Justification: These regulatory changes are necessary to streamline and reduce the burden on the public. These changes will also expand the use of the Community Facilities (CF) guarantee program by providing the ability to guarantee tax- exempt loans, and (in general) make the program more accessible to rural lenders. Finally, these changes will reflect our new Agency structure under USDA's reorganization.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service proposes to amend its regulations to establish a cost basis for defining substantial alterations or rehabilitations to existing rural rental housing complexes, and to require that such complexes undergoing substantial rehabilitations be made accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) to the maximum extent feasible. The action is taken to provide consistent criteria for requiring that existing housing complexes be made accessible during rehabilitation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Multi-Family Housing Reinvention</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Reinvention of the Rural Housing Service's Multi-Family Housing Programs will consolidate regulations pertaining to section 515 Rural Rental Housing, section 514 Farm Labor Housing Loans, section 516 Farm Labor Housing Grants and section 521 Rental Assistance Payments. Fourteen published regulations will be reduced to one regulation and handbooks for program administration. This will simplify loan origination and portfolio management for applicants, borrowers and housing operators as well as Rural Development field staff. This will also provide flexibility for program modifications to reflect current and foreseeable changes. It will also reduce regulations that address solely internal agency program administration. Finally, the regulation will be more customer friendly and responsive to the needs of the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1940.311 of RD Instruction 1940-G, describes certain utility systems which meet the criteria for environmental review using the format for a Class I environmental assessment. There has been some confusion as to what constitutes a "substantial increase" in withdrawal or discharge, and there has also been some confusion as to what criteria should be used when calculating a 50,000 gallon per day withdrawal from surface or groundwater. It is expected that the effect of this action will be to eliminate this unnecessary confusion, and reduce documentation and paperwork on the part of Rural Housing Service, and Rural Utilities Service, employees in the preparation and review of Class I environmental assessments based on these sections.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Changes to Appropriate Rural Development Regulations to implement reforms to the section 515 Rural Rental Housing Program required by section 734 of the Agriculture Appropriation Act of 1996 (PL 104-180) addressing project transfers (7 CFR 1965-B), occupancy surcharge (7 CFR 1930-C, 1951-K, 1965-B), equity loan eligibility (7 CFR 1944-D & E) and Equity Skimming (7 CFR 1930-C). Changes also required by PL 104-180, sec. 734 include providing only necessary assistance to applicants and prioritizing areas of assistance. These reforms will simplify the program, reduce cost of the government subsidies, assure the program reaches most needy communities and penalize those participants in the program who fraudulently remove equity or resources belonging to the housing financed by USDA-RHS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Will effectuate a comprehensive civil rights regulation implementing the following laws: The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (The Fair Housing Act); the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and programs and activities; Amendments of 1972; and Executive Order 11246. The revised regulations will provide detailed guidelines for field offices for improved enforcement and compliance with these laws which heavily impact the Agency's programs. Mechanisms for monitoring compliance by field offices and recipients of financial assistance at all levels will decrease the Agency's vulnerability due to noncompliance with recently enacted Civil Rights legislation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Program Streamline Environmental Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The objective of this action is to substantially revise the existing environmental regulation and to implement changes to streamline the environmental process for the Rural Housing Service (RHS) and the Rural Business Service (RBS), also to include and changes necessitated by amendments to various environmental laws, executive orders, and regulations applicable to the two agencies, to clarify wording, correct inconsistencies and where applicable, to delete obsolete material and update references in other program regulations. This revision represents an important contribution to the Department's efforts to streamline its operations and realize more efficient use of staff time. There are a number of Federal environmental statutes which govern the management of hazardous substances, materials and wastes. At the present time, RHS and RBS do not have implementing regulations for these Federal statutes. The development of implementation procedures for managing hazardous substances is necessary to insure consistency in compliance with Federal, as well as State, environmental statutes, and to develop appropriate "due diligence" policies to minimize the Agencies liability with regard to environmental cleanups of hazardous waste in loan processing/servicing and property management activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Offsets of Federal Payments to Agency Borrowers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Rural Housing Service, Rural Business and Cooperative Service, Rural Utilities Service, and Farm Service Agency proposes to amend their regulations on offsets of Federal payments to borrowers by removing repetitious directions and ambiguous guidance used by field offices to determine salary offset feasibility. The intended effect of this action is to add further guidance on salary offset eligibility criteria and to clarify the language of the regulations. The additional guidance provided by these proposed revisions will help to increase delinquent debt collection. If no revisions are made, it could result in reduced collections using administrative, salary, and IRS offset.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Planning and Performing Construction and Other Development and Related Construction Seismic Safety</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 (PL 95-124, 42 USC 7701 et seq) was passed to reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage from earthquakes through the establishment and maintenance of an effective earthquake hazards reduction program. Executive Order 12699 (EO) "Seismic Safety of Federal and Federally Assisted or Regulated New Building construction" requires all Federal agencies to ensure that new federally assisted buildings are designed and constructed in accord with appropriate seismic design and construction standards. Each agency is responsible for issuing or amending its regulations or procedures, planning for implementation through its own budget process, and regularly reviewing its regulations and procedures. The impact on National economic growth is considered to be negligible.

        <RULE_TITLE>7 CFR Part 610 Technical Assistance</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 342 subtitle E of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIRA) expands the membership and roles of State Technical Committees set forth in section 1261 of Subtitle G of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Under these guidelines, the Secretary is required to establish a technical committee in each State to assist in making technical considerations relating to the implementation of conservation provisions. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) uses these State Technical Committees in an advisory capacity. The rule will set forth the policies and procedures for the use of State Technical Committees by the United States Department of Agriculture, membership criteria, and the responsibilities assigned to these committees. ^PThe NRCS has delivered the majority of the technical assistance provided to private landowners through the authorities provided in 7 CFR part 610.2. Section 610.2 has not yet been revised to provide for the responsibilities assigned to the NRCS beyond that of soil conservation. To more accurately reflect the broader mission of NRCS, particularly as it relates to technical assistance provided to private grazing land. Section 610.2 is being amended to acknowledge that one of NRCS's missions is to improve the quality of all agricultural lands, including grazing land, pastureland, rangeland, forestland, and cropland so that the long-term sustainability of the resource base is achieved.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Conservation of Private Grazing Land (CPGL)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[CPGL provides producers on private grazing lands needed technical assistance from qualified grazing land management specialists to voluntarily implement management programs meeting the ecological, environmental and economic demands placed on the grazing land resources. Program funding is authorized through line item funding at $20 million for FY 1996, $40 million for FY 1997, and $60 million for 1998 and each subsequent FY for the NRCS. Technical, informational, and related assistance will be developed to provide owners and managers of private grazing land public agencies, and the nation the benefits derived from a voluntarily implemented grazing land for the development of 2 grazing management districts as recommended by the grazing land conservation coalition steering committee to demonstrate the benefits of sound grazing management practice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Soil erosion and its results, including damage to water quality and air quality, loss of productive capacity of the land, and offsite damages, is caused in part by inadequate or inappropriate systems. The 1985 Food Security Act required producers who farm highly erodible land to do so in accordance with an acceptable conservation system in order to remain eligible for most USDA program benefits. This act gave producers a major incentive to install conservation practices on the country's most fragile lands. The 1996 Farm Bill refines these requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) Established in the Federal Agriculture Improvement of Reform Act of 1996</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EQIP is established to assist producers to deal with environmental and natural resource conservation improvements on their agricultural lands. Program funding will be $130 million in FY 1996 & $200 million in FY 1997 through FY 2002. One-half of the available funds are for conservation activities related to livestock production. Technical assistance, cost-share payments, incentive payments, and education will be focused on priority area and natural resource concerns identified in cooperation with State Technical Committees. Five- to ten-year contracts, based on conservation plans, will be used to implement the program. A priority evaluation process will be used to maximize environmental benefits per dollar expended under EQIP. The Secretary, through the rulemaking process, will establish eligibility criteria for EQIP assistance, including determining standards for large livestock operations which will be ineligible for cost sharing to construct animal waste management facilities. For 180 days after the date of enactment of the Act, an interim program will be administered using the term and conditions of the agricultural conservation program, the Great Plains conservation program, the water quality incentives program, and the Colorado River Basin salinity control program, which are eliminated by the Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Wildlife habitats of all types have become degraded as a result of development pressures of modern society. Some habitat types are disappearing from the face of the earth, such as natural prairie. As development encroaches and a habitat disappears, the wildlife dependent upon that habitat also disappear. The rate of species lost to extinction has exceeded any known prior extinction event and the single, most significant cause cited is the loss of habitat. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes the environmental, social, economic, and aesthetic importance of wildlife. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) provides landowners incentives for developing and restoring habitat for wildlife.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is proposing to revise current fees for cost increases or decreases in the user fee program and to propose additional fees for goods and services which APHIS provides. The purpose is to more accurately provide for full-cost recovery of Agency activities. Fees being revised include: user fees at APHIS's animal import centers and user fees at the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) (including the labs at the Foreign Animal Diseases Diagnostic Laboratory (FADDL)) to account for cost increases and decreases. New user fees are being proposed for the following: use of new spaces at the APHIS animal center in Newburgh, NY; hourly services; and veterinary diagnostic tests, reagents, and services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS is proposing to amend the export certification regulations to provide for the establishment of a program under which non- government facilities could become accredited to perform specific laboratory testing or phytosanitary inspection services that could serve as the basis for the issuance of Federal phytosanitary certificates. The accreditation criteria for particular laboratory testing and phytosanitary inspection services would be developed by APHIS in cooperation with other appropriate governmental, industry, academic, or research entities. Currently, only test conducted by public laboratories or inspections carried out by Federal or State inspectors and agents may be used as the basis for the issuance of a Federal phytosanitary certificate. The proposed accreditation program would provide a mechanism for qualified non-government facilities to become accredited to perform the testing or inspection services that may be used as supporting documentation for the issuance of phytosanitary certificates for certain plants or plant products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Humane Treatment of Dogs and Cats; Licensing and Consignment Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations for the humane treatment of dogs and cats under the Animal Welfare Act by revising a provision that persons who sell fewer than 25 dogs and/or cats per year to research facilities are exempted from having to obtain a license to sell dogs and cats. We would revise this provision to exempt persons who sell fewer than 10 dogs and/or cats. This rule would also require that no person who has a contract to enforce local animal control regulations may be licensed as a Class B dealer of dogs and cats. Finally, this rule would include several revisions to certificates used for certifying dogs and cats for sale and consigning dogs and cats to intermediate handlers. We believe these changes are necessary to facilitate regulation of Class B dog and cat dealer activities and to help eliminate the suspected sale of missing and stolen pet dogs and cats for use in research. The cost to affected businesses of revising the licensing exemptions is difficult to determine; the effect would depend on how many currently exempt businesses choose to obtain a license and continue operating.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Plant Pest Regulations; Review of Current Provisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS has published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit public comment on several issues pertaining to our current regulations regarding the importation and interstate movement of plant pests. Specifically, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking sought public comment on the criteria used to determine whether an organism is a plant pest; what type of direct and indirect injury or damage to plants and plant products should be regulated; how to facilitate the interstate movement and use of biological control organisms; and how to best evaluate the safety of proposed releases into the environment of organisms with plant pest characteristics. The information gathered through the advance notice of proposed rulemaking will be used by APHIS as we consider the need for regulatory changes and weigh alternative methods of addressing plant pest risk as it pertains to the importation, interstate movement, and release into the environment of plant pest or potential plant pest organisms.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Logs, Lumber, and Other Unmanufactured Wood Articles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the universal importation option for importing wood chips fumigated with methyl bromide to make it apply only to shipments totaling 120 cubic feet or less. This action appears necessary because methyl bromide fumigation has proven to be ineffective when used on shipments of more than 120 cubic feet. We have, however, determined that a surface pesticide treatment is effective in rendering large shipments of Pinus radiata wood chips from Chile free of plant pests, and have approved a surface pesticide treatment for use on Pinus radiata wood chips from Chile. Therefore, this rule would also allow the importation of Pinus radiata wood chips from Chile if the surfaces of the wood chips are treated with a pesticide approved by the Administrator. We do not believe that this change would have a significant economic impact on U.S. wood chip producers because imports from Chile would not be in direct competition with wood chips produced in the United States. An immediate positive impact would be that several U.S. pulp producers at risk of being forced to reduce production or close due to lack of wood chip supply would be able to remain in production. This rule would also allow certain cork and bark, and kiln dried lumber, to be imported under a general permit, and would allow solid wood packing materials used with nonregulated articles to be imported without an importer document.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Karnal Bunt</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Karnal bunt is a fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum), durum wheat (Triticum durum), and triticale (Triticum aestivum x Secale cereale), a hybrid of wheat and rye. The establishment of Karnal bunt in the United States would have significant consequences with regard to the export of wheat to international markets. Prior to March 8, 1996, Karnal bunt was not known to exist in the United States. Since March 8, 1996, Karnal bunt has been detected within several States. In response, we have established regulations that define regulated areas in certain States because of Karnal bunt, that restrict the movement of certain articles from the regulated areas to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt, and provide compensation for certain growers, handlers, and other individuals in the regulated areas to mitigate losses and expenses incurred because of actions taken by the Secretary to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt. As part of a continuing Karnal bunt program, we anticipate that the regulations concerning regulated areas, movement restrictions, and compensation will be revised as more is known about the Karnal bunt situation in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Compensation for 1995-96 Crop Season</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Karnal bunt is a fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum), durum wheat (Triticum durum), and triticale (Triticum aestivum x Secale cereale), a hybrid of wheat and rye. The establishment of Karnal bunt in the United States would have significant consequences with regard to the export of wheat to international markets. Prior to March 8, 1996, Karnal bunt was not known to exist in the United States. Since March 8, 1996, Karnal bunt has been detected within several States. In response, we have established regulations that define regulated areas in certain States because of Karnal bunt, that restrict the movement of certain articles from the regulated areas to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt, and provide compensation for certain growers, handlers, and other individuals in the regulated areas to mitigate losses and expenses incurred because of actions taken by the Secretary to prevent the spread of Karnal bunt. As part of a continuing Karnal bunt program, we anticipate that the regulations concerning regulated areas, movement restrictions, and compensation will be revised as more is known about the Karnal bunt situation in the United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Bovine tuberculosis is a contagious, infectious, and communicable disease affecting cattle, bison, and other species, including humans. The spread of bovine tuberculosis in the United States could have serious consequences for the United States cattle and bison industries, as well as for human health. Currently, the regulations concerning control and eradication programs for bovine tuberculosis in livestock only regulate cattle, bison, and swine. Recent outbreaks in the United States of bovine tuberculosis in semi-domesticated herds of cervidae (such as deer and elk) have made apparent the need to also regulate captive cervids raised for agricultural purposes, sport, or exhibition, in order to prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department regulates the treatment of certain marine mammals under the Animal Welfare Act. The present standards for treatment of these animals have been in effect for over 10 years. During this time, advances have been made and new information has been developed with regard to the housing and care of marine mammals. The Department has given notice of its review of the present standards to determine what revisions or additions might be necessary, and has requested comments on appropriate specific standards for treatment of marine mammals. The Department has conducted negotiated rulemaking (Reg Neg) and is developing proposed changes to the regulations. In addition to identifying regulatory provisions for revision based on negotiated rulemaking the Department is conducting separate rulemaking to establish standards governing "swim with the dolphins" (SWTD) programs. The Department has published a proposal on SWTD standards and is currently reviewing comments received on that proposal.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of &quot;Biological Products&quot; and &quot;Guidelines&quot;</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule updates the definitions of "biological products" and "guidelines" to reflect current usage. The definition of biological products has not been amended since 1973. APHIS has received a citizen's petition from producers of veterinary biological products to update this definition to accommodate advances in scientific knowledge and to reflect current usage. Similarly, a definition of guidelines is necessary to describe the purpose of such documents as veterinary biologics memoranda, licensing considerations, and notices. ^PThe rule provides guidance to producers who are making a choice to seek regulatory approval from the Food and Drug Administration for a product intended for use as an animal drug (e.g. antibiotics, hormones, feed supplements, etc.) or from APHIS for a product intended for use as a veterinary biological product (e.g. vaccines, adjuvants, immunomodulators, and diagnostics). Submission to the appropriate Federal agency would depend upon the intended use of the product for which regulatory approval is sought.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>In Vitro Tests for Serial Release</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act, veterinary biologics are required to be pure, safe, potent, and efficacious (not contaminated, dangerous, harmful, or worthless). Before a licensed veterinary biological product can be released for market, it must be demonstrated to be potent and efficacious. This is ordinarily done by determining the immunogenicity of the product. The use of fewer animals for immunogenicity testing will be consistent with the intent of animal welfare legislation to reduce dependence on animals for testing when feasible. The rule will allow the use of in vitro tests in place of animal tests for determining the immunogenicity of veterinary biologics, provided that the in vitro tests meet the requirements of a "parallel line assay" so that the relative antigenic potency of a biological product can be determined by comparison with a reference preparation of known antigenicity. The rule should not have a significant economic impact on manufacturers of veterinary biologics and other small businesses since immunogenicity testing is already required under the regulations pertaining to the preparation of veterinary biologics (9 CFR part 113). Under the rule, manufacturers will retain the option whether or not to use in vitro tests in place of animal tests, based upon cost or feasibility. ^PThe rule will also require that reference preparations used in the determination of relative antigenic potency be updated periodically so as to ensure that reference preparations continue to be correlated with immunogenicity. Not to require requalification of references could result in the preparation of a worthless biological product.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Animals and Animal Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS plans to amend the animal and animal product importation regulations that currently identify entire countries as those that are either free of certain diseases or those in which the diseases exist. The changes would allow for regionalization of countries--i.e., disease classification of parts of a country, an entire country, or groups of countries. The rule change would also recognize levels of disease risk in regions. Although APHIS anticipates expanding these proposed provisions to apply to the importation of all regulated animals and animal products, at this time the changes apply only to ruminants and swine, and their products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Humane Treatment of Dogs and Cats; Tethering and Temperature Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations for the humane treatment of dogs and cats under the Animal Welfare Act by removing the provisions of tethering dogs as a means of primary enclosure. This rule would also amend the regulations by revising the temperature requirements for dogs and cats in indoor, sheltered, and mobile and traveling housing facilities, and primary conveyance used in transportation. We are taking these actions because our experience in enforcing the Animal Welfare Act has led us to conclude that continuous confinement of dogs by a tether is inhumane. Also, the current temperature requirements have proven difficult to enforce. These actions would help ensure that dogs and cats in facilities regulated under the Animal Welfare Act will be treated in a humane manner. We do not expect these actions to have any significant impact on affected businesses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Humane Treatment of Dogs and Cats; Wire Flooring</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations for the humane treatment of dogs and cats under the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit bare wire flooring in primary enclosures for dogs and cats. The rule would further require that, if the floor of a primary enclosure for dogs or cats is constructed of wire, the wire must be coated with a material such as plastic or fiberglass. We believe that bare wire floors are inadequate in providing for the comfort and well-being of dogs and cats because of their potential to cause foot injuries and because they are difficult to clean and sanitize thoroughly. Requiring coated wire to be used for wire floors in primary enclosures would improve comfort, help eliminate foot injuries, and help provide clean and sanitary housing for dogs and cats. The cost to affected businesses of replacing bare wire flooring with coated wire is expected to be a considerable initial expense. However, coated wire flooring is more durable and needs to be replaced less often than bare wire flooring.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS plans to amend the animal and animal product importation regulations that currently identify entire countries as those that are either free of certain diseases or those in which the diseases exist. The changes would allow for regionalization of countries--i.e., disease classification of parts of a country, an entire country, or groups of countries. The rule change would also recognize levels of disease risk in regions. Although APHIS anticipates expanding these proposed provisions to apply to the importation of all regulated animals and animal products, at this time the changes apply only to ruminants and swine, and their products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[APHIS plans to amend the animal and animal product importation regulations that currently identify entire countries as those that are either free of certain diseases or those in which the diseases exist. The changes would allow for regionalization of countries--i.e., disease classification of parts of a country, an entire country, or groups of countries. The rule change would also recognize levels of disease risk in regions. Although APHIS anticipates expanding these proposed provisions to apply to the importation of all regulated animals and animal products, at this time the changes apply only to ruminants and swine, and their products.]]></ABSTRACT>

An advance notice of proposed rulemaking which solicited public comment on certain existing requirements in part 98, confirmed that the regulations in this part no longer reflect international industry practices and are inconsistent, at least in part, with scientifically accepted procedures. Specific changes proposed will be determined after thorough review of existing requirements. Potential cost and benefits are unknown at this time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>HSTAIC Repair and Maintenance Fees</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Certain animals intended for importation into the United States must first be quarantined at the Harry S Truman Import Center (HSTAIC) in Florida. Because of current wording in the Code of Federal Regulations concerning capital expenditures, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is unable to collect money from importers for the maintenance and repair of HSTAIC. APHIS is proposing to collect a "repair and maintenance" fee from importers who use HSTAIC. By charging importers a minimal fee, APHIS will be able to make vital repairs at HSTAIC and also keep the facility and its equipment in good operating condition. The amount charged will be a pro rated share based on Internal Revenue Service guidelines for depreciation of the facility and equipment. These funds will be established and maintained in a separate account to be used exclusively for repairs and maintenance at HSTAIC. The HSTAIC physical plant and its equipment are in a serious state of disrepair. If repairs are not made, the facility may be forced to close down. Such a development could have an adverse economic impact on those U.S. importers who depend on the facility to provide them with high-risk quarantine services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Importation of Fresh Hass Avocado Fruit Grown in Michoacan, Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[We have amended the regulations governing the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow fresh Hass avocado fruit grown in approved orchards in approved municipalities in Michoacan, Mexico, to be imported into certain areas of the United States, subject to certain conditions. We took this action in response to a request from the Mexican Government and after reviewing public comments regarding that request and conducting a pest risk assessment. The conditions to which the importation of fresh Hass avocado fruit will be subject, including pest surveys and pest risk-reducing cultural practices, packinghouse procedures, inspection and shipping procedures, and restrictions on the time of year shipments may enter the United States, will reduce the risk of pest introduction to an insignificant level. Furthermore, climatic conditions in those areas of the United States into which the avocados will be allowed will preclude the establishment in the United States of any of the exotic plant pests that may attack avocados in Michoacan, Mexico.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grain Inspection General Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal, a housekeeping-type rulemaking, is the result of GIPSA's review, under the NPRP, of regulations contained in 7 CFR 800. These regulations relate to inspection of grain under the US Grain Standards Act and consist of administrative direction on how the public can request service, how Federal, State or private laboratories must provide service and what fees are charged for the service. In determining what changes to propose in this section, GIPSA consulted users of the service on what changes they felt were needed in the regulations, discussed with legal counsel information required to be in the regulations for enforcement purposes, and reviewed information taken from its day-to-day operations. These changes are being proposed to clarify the language and update the regulations to reflect current technology and operating practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Organic Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA) states that the Secretary shall establish an organic certification program for producers and handlers of agricultural products that have been produced using organic methods. The OFPA provides for three proposed actions by the Department of Agriculture: (a) the accreditation of State and private certifying agents for the Secretary, which includes provision for the collection of reasonable fees from producers, certifying agents, and handlers who participate in the program; (b) the establishment of a national list of natural substances prohibited, and synthetic substances allowed in organic production and handling; and (c) the development of national standards and procedures to be used in organic production, processing and handling, with the requirement that any product labeled as organically produced will have to be certified once the program is implemented (except for producers with less than $5,000 gross sales). The OFPA also calls for establishment of a National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), notices of meetings, and notices of hearings for standards for livestock products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Laboratory Accreditation Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The 1990 Farm Bill authorized the creation of a National Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLAP) for laboratories that request accreditation and conduct residue testing of agricultural products concerning chemical residue levels on agricultural products. The program is designed to protect human health by ensuring that laboratories which make claims to the public concerning pesticide residue levels meet minimum quality and reliability standards. The standards for the NLAP will be provided by the Food and Drug Administration with the operation of the program under the Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA. The program costs will be offset by a fee schedule. The one-time appropriation was used to provide for a fully equipped pesticide laboratory to verify the findings of those laboratories applying for accreditation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The majority of the revisions to the regulations are needed to implement changes to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) as a result of the enactment of H.R. 1103, the PACA Amendments of 1995. The Legislation which was signed by President Clinton on November 15, 1995 (Public Law 104-48), restructures and strengthens the PACA. The changes in the regulations are necessary to update them to conform with the requirements of Public Law 104-48. The revisions which specifically relate to sections 46.27 and 46.28, are made in response to directions received from the House Agriculture Committee to accurately reflect the increased role of fruit and vegetable brokers as agent of purchasers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Refrigeration and Labeling Requirements for Shell Eggs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Research has shown that refrigeration is a significant factor in the reduction of bacterial growth in shell eggs. To reduce the risk of human illness from Salmonella bacteria, a shell egg industry task force believed that refrigeration of eggs was an appropriate course of action. The task force subsequently sought legislation to require that shell eggs be refrigerated at an ambient temperature no greater than 45 degrees F after packing for the ultimate consumer and be labeled to indicate that refrigeration is required. The Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) was amended to include these requirements, effective December 13, 1991. Based on USDA egg production and price data, estimated first year compliance costs are $40.67 million and represent 1.37 percent of gross industry proceeds or $0.0083 per dozen. Since the first year figures include nonrecurring expenditures for facilities and vehicles, the total industry cost will be less in subsequent years. While alternative implementation is not provided for under the EPIA, the authorizing committee considered alternatives during the last session of Congress. Concerns for the feasibility and efficacy of the required intervention remain unaddressed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations by adding three new product categories and reference amounts to the new product categories and reference amounts chart. FSIS has received requests through public comments and the labeling application process to add new product categories and reference amounts for "Beans with meat, plain or in sauce," "Appetizers," and "Major condiments." FSIS is also proposing to allow manufacturers of meal-type products packaged in volumes greater than one serving to be labeled as the fractional statement of the promoted serving size (e.g., 1/2 package, 1/4 package).]]></ABSTRACT>

The existing regulations permit the continuous chilling of whole carcasses or "major portions," including front or rear portions, resulting from trimming or salvage. This proposal would define "major portions" to include the front or rear portions of transversely split carcasses without identifying the operation creating the portions.

        <RULE_TITLE>Glycerine Used as a Humectant in Shelf Stable Meat Snacks</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit the use of food grade glycerine as a humectant in shelf stable meat snacks. It is proposing that the glycerine be used at a level not to exceed 2 percent of the formulation weight of the product. This proposed rule is in response to a petition. As a humectant, glycerine controls moisture in meat products and, at the 2 percent level, it reduces the amount of water available for microbial growth to occur. This use is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by FDA.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Meat and Poultry Standards of Identity and Composition</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is carrying out a thoroughgoing regulatory review that will decide the future of its standards of identity and composition for meat and poultry products. These standards, established over many years, define particular products or product categories in terms of meat and poultry content or other characteristics. The standards are enforced through prior approval of labeling and by other means. Because of new technologies, changing lifestyles, changed consumer expectations, and the information now available to consumers through ingredient and nutrition labeling, the usefulness of many of the standards is in question. FSIS is soliciting information from the interested public on what direction reform of its food standards regulations should take, including suggestions on whether to fundamentally alter or eliminate entirely this regulatory program. FSIS recognizes that the current program impedes innovation, slowing the introduction of nutritionally beneficial products in the marketplace. FSIS seeks information on how its product standards--if they are needed at all--can provide sound and reliable consumer protection, while being flexible enough to encourage the development and marketing of improved meat and poultry products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Sorbitol in Cooked Roast Beef Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit the use of sorbitol in cooked roast beef products. Sorbitol is listed in 21 CFR 184.1835 as a substance generally recognized as safe for various uses when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. Sorbitol functions as a sweetening agent and prevents charring of meat and meat food products due to its moisture-retention properties. Sorbitol could be used for these two purposes in cooked roast beef products, at a level not more than two percent of the weight of the formula excluding the formula weight of water or ice.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Elimination of Prior Approval Requirements for Egg Product Plant Drawings, Specifications, and Equipment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal egg products inspection regulations by removing current requirements for prior approval by FSIS of establishment drawings, specifications, and prior to the construction or remodeling of official establishments. Requirements involving the comparison of blueprints and specifications with actual facilities and equipment would end. FSIS would continue to verify through inspection that good sanitation is being achieved. This action is taken to streamline and modernize the egg products food safety regulations, to separate the roles of Government and the regulated industry, to encourage innovations that will improve food safety, and to remove unnecessary regulatory burdens on inspected egg establishments. In addition, the proposal represents an important shift away from FSIS's "command-and-control" regulatory approach and toward a less bureaucratic approach consistent with the Agency's food safety mission.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grant and Inauguration of Inspection</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to streamline and clarify the regulations in 9 CFR parts 304 and 305, which provide for grant and inauguration of inspection in meat and poultry establishments. ^PUnder the current regulations, prior to commercial operation, establishments must apply for grant of inspection by submitting for FSIS review and approval establishment floor plans and blueprints, equipment specifications, and other information. If FSIS approves this information and grants inspection, a circuit supervisor visits the establishment to inform the operator of the applicable regulations. Subsequently, FSIS inspection is inaugurated and the establishment may begin manufacturing product for commercial distribution. ^PFSIS is proposing to streamline these requirements by eliminating the provisions regarding inauguration of inspection and clarifying that FSIS will provide a conditional grant of inspection to establishments following completion of written sanitation standard operating procedures and a HACCP plan. As set forth in Docket 93-016F, the conditional grant of inspection would last for 90 days, during which the establishment would be required to validate its HACCP plan. After HACCP plan validation, FSIS will provide the establishment with a permanent grant of inspection. ^PThis action will also revise the regulations in light of a related proposal (Docket No. 95-032P) to eliminate the requirement that floor plans, blueprints, equipment specifications be preapproved by FSIS before inspection is granted.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Beef or Pork With Barbecue Sauce; Revision of Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been petitioned to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations by removing a meat yield requirement for the standardized products "Beef With Barbecue Sauce" and "Pork With Barbecue Sauce." Current regulations for these products require that the product contain not less than 50 percent of the species identified on the label, and that the weight of the cooked pork or beef not exceed 70 percent of the uncooked weight of the meat. The first requirement is consistent with other meat and sauce requirements, but the second requirement is not. The petitioner asserts that the product standard (promulgated in 1952) does not reflect current production practices or the commercial marketability of beef or pork with barbecue sauce. The petitioner further states that producers of these products are at a competitive disadvantage with other meat and sauce producers, because other meat and sauce producers do not have a 70 percent yield requirement. For example, producers of the standardized products "Beef with Gravy," "Meat Pies," and "Spaghetti with Meat and Sauce" and similar standardized products do not have any meat yield requirements. ^PFSIS has determined that the petitioner's request should be granted. This action would permit fair competition between meat and barbecue sauce producers, and poultry and sauce producers, and would provide consistent requirements in both the meat and poultry inspection regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS plans to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit the use of liquid nitrogen for contact freezing of meat and meat products. Liquid nitrogen is listed in 21 CFR 184.1540 as a substance generally recognized as safe as a direct human food ingredient when used as a propellant, aerating agent, and gas as defined in 21 CFR 170.3(o)(25), at levels not to exceed current good manufacturing practice. When used as a direct-contact freezing agent for food, liquid nitrogen must be of a purity suitable for its intended use. ^PLiquid nitrogen is an extremely effective and efficient freezing/cooling agent. Liquid nitrogen is already approved for use in the poultry products inspection regulations (9 CFR 381.147(f)(4)) as a contact freezing agent for poultry or poultry products. Its use on meat and meat products will ensure the microbiological safety of those products and will be an effective process control in a HACCP program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standards for the Production of Certain Meat and Poultry Products With Established Standards of Identity</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations by establishing food safety performance standards for certain raw, partially cooked, and ready-to-eat meat and poultry products listed in 9 CFR 319. Performance standards spell out the objective level of performance establishments must meet during their operations to produce safe products, but allow the use of customized, plant-specific processing procedures. The standards of identity or composition in part 319 define these products in terms of meat and poultry content, ingredients, methods of processing and preparation, or other characteristics relative to product content, representation, and labeling. However, currently there are few food safety standards or requirements specific to the processing or handling of these products in the regulations. FSIS must rely upon statutory authorities, general regulations, regulations for similar products, or FSIS directives when regulating these products. Establishing food safety performance standards specific to these products would provide FSIS with a better regulatory mechanism for ensuring their safety and would grant establishments flexibility to comply with the new requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standards for the Thermal Processing of Meat and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to replace the current, "command-and-control" procedures for the thermal processing of meat and poultry products with performance standards. The current regulations are highly prescriptive, redundant with HACCP, and inhibit the adoption by the industry of new, more efficient technologies. The proposed performance standards, which spell out the objective level of performance establishments must meet during their operations, would permit the use of alternative processing procedures by establishments. Establishments would be required to develop written process schedules describing their alternative procedures, but could incorporate these schedules into their HACCP plans. FSIS would allow establishments that do not develop alternative procedures to follow the current regulations, which would be retained as "safe harbors."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Labeling of Egg Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the egg products inspection regulations by revising current egg product labeling requirements to make them consistent with the labeling requirements for meat and poultry products. On October 1, 1995, FSIS became responsible for the review and approval of egg product labels, and the Agency is now reviewing and approving labels for egg products. ^PThe current system for the review and approval for egg product labels, developed by the Agricultural Marketing Service, is inconsistent with the system FSIS applies to meat and poultry labels. FSIS's current system of label approval places the responsibility for the preparation of the label approval request on the industry. This system maximizes the label reviewer's time available for review and decisionmaking, rather than for clerical tasks. FSIS proposes to amend the egg products inspection regulations to establish the same system for egg product labels. ^PFSIS's new rule on prior label approval, effective July 1996, allows meat and poultry manufacturers to prepare and use labels that meet certain conditions without any preapproval from FSIS (generic approvals). In contrast, the egg product inspection regulations require that any change to a label, no matter how minor, must be approved at headquarters. FSIS is proposing to amend the egg products inspection regulations to provide for the generic approval of egg product labels that meet certain conditions, which would parallel those governing meat and poultry labels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Absorbed Water in Raw Meat and Poultry Products; Poultry Chilling Performance Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is developing a proposal to limit the amount of water absorbed and retained by single-ingredient raw meat and poultry products to the amount that is unavoidable in carrying out washing or chilling procedures. Such products include immersion-chilled poultry carcasses and raw meat byproducts that are chilled in water. A requirement for raw products to bear a labeling statement on absorbed water content is being considered. However, establishments having data that demonstrate their raw products do not gain weight as a result of washing or chilling would not have to label the products with such a statement. The proposal also would replace the command-and-control provisions of the regulations on poultry chilling and moisture control with performance standards. This proposal is being made in furtherance of the Agency's regulatory reform effort. The labeling provisions of this proposal would be intended to provide consumers with additional information for making purchasing decisions. ^PAffected establishments would have to bear the minimal costs associated with any required labeling modifications.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standard for Carcasses Cut into Primal Parts Within an Establishment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit inspected and passed, but unmarked, carcasses to be cut into primal parts within the establishment as long as the establishment is operating under a HACCP system which includes a process control component to prevent the commingling of inspected and uninspected product. Product identification and control, and a system of recordkeeping and monitoring are essential elements of any HACCP system. An adequate HACCP system would ensure that identification and appropriate separation of inspected and uninspected product would be maintained. ^PThis action would be in keeping with FSIS's move away from "command and control" regulations toward HACCP-compatible performance standards, which afford establishments greater latitude in choosing how to meet performance objectives, for example, ensuring segregation inspected and uninspected product. FSIS is proposing this action in response to a petition.]]></ABSTRACT>

FSIS currently permits the use of food starch modified as a binder and extender in cured pork products labeled "Ham water added" and "Ham and water product-X% of weight is added ingredients." FSIS proposes to allow modified food starch in "Ham with Natural Juices" products in an amount not exceeding 2 percent of product formulation. Permitting the use of food starch modified in a "Ham with Natural Juices" product would provide ham processors with another binder/extender option from which to choose when formulating this product.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Standards: Requirements for Processed Meat and Poultry Products Named by Use of an Expressed Nutrient Content Claim and a Standardized Term</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend the Federal meat and poultry regulations to establish a general definition and standard of identity for standardized meat and poultry food products that have been modified to qualify for use of certain expressed nutrient content claims as part of the product name. These products would be identified by a nutrient content claim, such as "fat free," in conjunction with an appropriate standardized product name, e.g., "fat free frankfurter." The general standard proposes to set requirements that would allow for modified versions of standardized meat and poultry food products, i.e., "substitute standardized products." These products would be formulated and processed with ingredients otherwise not in or in amounts greater than that allowed by FSIS regulatory food standards in 9 CFR parts 319 and 381, subpart P. ^PFSIS is taking this action to: (1) Assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices by providing for substitute versions of standardized processed meat food and poultry food products that have reductions in certain constituents that are of health concern to consumers, such as fat and cholesterol, (2) increase regulatory flexibility and support product innovation in accord with Executive Orders 12861 and 12866 and with President Clinton's Memorandum to Heads of Departments and Agencies, "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," dated March 4, 1995, and (3) provide consumers with an informative nutrition labeling system.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations by removing the requirements for prior approval by FSIS of establishment drawings, specifications, and equipment used in official establishments. Requirements involving the comparison of blueprints and specifications with actual facilities and equipment will end, affording industry flexibility in designing facilities and equipment that can be operated in a sanitary manner. FSIS will continue to verify through inspection that sanitation requirements are being met. FSIS is also ending its prior approval of most establishment-operated partial quality control programs, which are used by establishments to control certain kinds of food processing and product characteristics. Establishments will be able to develop and implement quality control programs without first having to receive permission from FSIS to do so.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Performance Standards for Certain Meat Products and Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations by converting the current regulations governing the production of cooked beef products, uncured meat patties, and certain poultry products into performance standards. The proposed performance standards spell out the objective level of performance establishments must meet during their operations in order to produce safe products, but allow the use of plant-specific processing procedures other than the procedures prescribed in the current regulations. All of the provisions in the current regulations meet the proposed performance standards. Therefore, establishments probably would not be required to change any current practices in response to this proposed rule. The current provisions would remain in the regulations as examples of how an establishment might comply with proposed performance standards, constituting "safe harbors."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of a Blend of Carageenan, Locust Bean Gum, and Xanthan Gum as a Binder Matrix in Water-Added Hams</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS plans to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to permit the use of a blend of carageenan, locust bean gum, and xanthan gum as a binder to prevent purging of brine solution in water-added hams. Carageenan and xanthan gum are permitted as direct food additives under 21 CFR 172.620 and 172.695 at use-levels consistent with good manufacturing practice as stabilizers, emulsifiers, or thickeners. The currently permitted use-level for carageenan is 1.5 percent of the formulation of water-added hams. The Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations already allow the use of xanthan gum in various meat and poultry products without a restriction for use as a binder. Locust bean gum is listed in 21 CFR 184.1343 as a substance generally recognized as safe at a maximum use-level of 0.5 percent as a stabilizer and thickener. ^PThe maximum use-level for the binder matrix will be 0.5 percent, consisting of 70 percent carageenan, 15 percent xanthan gum, and 15 percent locust bean gum. Permitting the use of this binder matrix in water-added hams will provide ham processors with another binder option from which to choose when formulating their product.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Two Kinds of Poultry Without Label Change</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been petitioned to amend the poultry products inspection regulations by permitting the use of different amounts of two kinds of poultry to be used in a poultry product without changing the product's ingredients statement. Currently, the Federal meat inspection regulations provide that beef and pork may be interchanged in a product formulation without requiring new labels for each formulation. In these situations, the word "and," instead of a comma, between the declaration of the two meat components in the ingredients statement indicates that the order of predominance of the two meat components may be interchanged. ^PThe regulation for meat products was promulgated to allow meat processors flexibility in utilizing least cost formulations, while maintaining label integrity. Formulations can be modified within set parameters without requiring new labels, thus reducing required label inventories and lowering costs. ^PFSIS has determined that the petition should be granted. There are no health or safety issues involved with this proposed change. The ingredients statement of the product will still list both kinds of poultry that are present in the product. However, under this proposal, poultry producers, like their meat counterparts, would not need to change labels when the order of predominance of the poultry ingredients changes. ^PThis action would make the regulations consistent with regard to the flexibility afforded meat and poultry processors to adjust product formulations without having to change labels.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Pathogen Reduction; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Systems-- Technical Corrections and Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is making technical corrections and amendments to the final rule, "Pathogen Reduction; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Systems," published on July 25, 1996. This document responds to technical and scientific questions raised in the final rule regarding E. coli testing, and to issues discussed at the "Technical Conference Regarding E. coli Verification Testing," held on September 12-13, 1996, and the "Pathogen Reduction/HACCP National Implementation Conference" held on September 30-October 3, 1996. Also, this document clarifies ambiguities brought to FSIS' attention and provides guidance on technical issues such as how to use E. coli testing results, sampling frequencies, and determining number of establishment employees. Additionally, this document corrects inadvertent omissions and minor editorial oversights. ^PThese technical corrections and amendments do not change the cost estimate and information collection burden reported in the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) plans to increase the permitted use level of food starch-modified and approve the use of soy protein concentrate in certain cured pork products. The technical effect of these substances when added to product is to reduce water purge (pumped brine) from the product. Both of these substances are listed in the Food and Drug Administration regulations as generally recognized as safe for use in foods in accordance with good manufacturing practice. The technical data and information supplied by the petitioners have been received and it has been determined that the use of these substances is functional and suitable for the intended purpose. This rule only makes minor, technical changes to the chart of substances approved for use in meat products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>FSIS Agenda for Change: Regulatory Review; Food Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is undertaking a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which are to be modified, streamlined, or eliminated. This review is an integral part of the FSIS initiative to improve the safety of meat and poultry products by modernizing the Agency's system of food safety regulations, and it carries out the President's directive, as part of the Reinvention of Government initiative, to conduct a page-by-page review of all FSIS regulations to identify candidates for repeal or reform. A thorough review of FSIS's regulations is needed to prepare for implementation of the recently proposed Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) regulations and a new food safety strategy that will reduce reliance on command-and-control regulations and increase reliance on science-based preventive measures and performance standards to improve food safety. This review and any changes in FSIS regulations that are necessary to make them compatible with HACCP will be completed prior to implementation of HACCP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transportation and Storage Requirements for Potentially Hazardous Foods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), plans to publish an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) addressing possible transportation and storage requirements for potentially hazardous foods. (A potentially hazardous food is one, either natural or synthetic, that is in a form capable of supporting the rapid and progressive growth of infectious or toxicogenic microorganisms.) For purposes of this ANPR, potentially hazardous foods include meat, poultry, egg, seafood, and dairy products. ^PIn the past, FSIS and FDA regarded their ability to control adulterated food products in commerce, combined with the standard practices of transportation and storage firms, as adequate to prevent public health problems from occurring. However, FSIS and FDA are now considering efforts to ensure that potentially hazardous foods outside food processing establishments will be handled in a way that will minimize the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and prevent the introduction of new pathogenic organisms or other hazards. The ANPR will solicit comments and information on various aspects of the transportation and storage of potentially hazardous foods.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Systems for Egg Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is proposing to require that all inspected egg product plants develop, adopt, and implement written sanitation standard operating procedures and HACCP, a system of preventive controls designed to improve the safety of their products. Compliance with the proposed requirements would reduce the occurrence and numbers of pathogenic microorganisms in egg products. This proposal is part of the Agency's comprehensive strategy to improve the safety of meat, poultry, and egg products at each point along the farm-to-table continuum and responds specifically to the relatively high occurrence of Salmonella contamination in pasteurized egg products. This proposal also is part of the FSIS effort to reform its regulations by culling out or revising those that are obsolete or that impose unnecessary burdens and restructuring the remaining regulations for clarity and user-friendliness.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Net Weight Statement for Shingle-Packed Bacon</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been petitioned to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations by removing a labeling requirement for certain sizes of shingle packed bacon. Current regulations for shingle packed bacon require that the labeling of packages that are not 8 ounces, 16 ounces (1 pound), or 32 ounces (2 pounds) display the net quantity of the contents (net weight statement) in the same size as the largest feature of the label. ^PHistorically, shingle packed bacon was sold in 8-ounce, 1-pound, or 2-pound packages. Over time, the weight of the bacon was reduced, but the industry continued to sell the product in the same size packaging. To ensure that consumers were aware that there was less product in the same size packages, FSIS promulgated the current regulation to highlight (to consumers) the net weight statement on these packages. However, with heightened consumer awareness, the use of nutritional labeling, and the use of unit pricing at the retail level, FSIS agrees with the petitioner that this labeling requirement is no longer needed. ^PThis action would provide the same net weight labeling requirements for all package sizes of bacon.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fee Increase for Inspection Services</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service is proposing to increase the fees FSIS charges meat and poultry establishments, importers and exporters for providing voluntary inspection, identification, and certification services and overtime and holiday services. These fee increases are based upon the Agency's analysis of projected costs for fiscal year 1996, which identifies increased costs resulting from the January 1996 FSIS national and locality pay raise average of 2.4 percent for Federal employees and increased health insurance costs. ^PFSIS also is proposing to reduce the fees charged for providing laboratory services to meat and poultry establishments. The Agency's analysis of projected costs for fiscal year 1996 identified decreased costs resulting from the use of automated equipment for testing laboratory samples and for other inspection related services not covered under the base time, overtime, and holiday costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of Term &quot;Fresh&quot; on Labeling of Raw Poultry Products</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the poultry product inspection regulations to prohibit the use of the term "fresh" on the labeling of raw poultry products whose internal temperature has ever been below 26 F. Raw poultry products whose internal temperature has ever been below 26 F. but above 0 F , are not required to bear any specific, descriptive labeling terms, including "hard chilled" or "previously hard chilled." These products may contain optional, descriptive labeling, provided the optional, descriptive labeling does not cause the raw poultry products to be misbranded. Products whose internal temperature has ever been 0 F. or below will continue to be labeled with the term "frozen." The rule also establishes a temperature tolerance below the 26 F. standard. FSIS is taking this action in response to legislation enacted by the United States Congress directing FSIS to issue a revised final rule about the labeling of raw poultry products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the poultry products inspection regulations to clarify and strengthen the enforcement of FSIS's zero-tolerance policy regarding visible fecal material on poultry carcasses. FSIS is amending its regulations to codify an existing performance standard that ensures poultry carcasses contaminated with fecal material do not enter the chilling tank. In order to clarify the enforcement of this policy, this rule removes "feces" as a nonconformance element in the finished product standards for poultry. ^PIn addition, the Agency is seeking comments on the relationship between ingesta and the presence of microbial pathogens on raw poultry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC): Food Delivery Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A proposed rule addressing WIC Food Delivery Systems was published on December 28, 1990 (55 FR 53446). The Department provided a 120-day comment period for the proposed rule, which closed on April 29, 1991. Nearly 1,100 comments were received from a wide variety of sources. Despite the degree of preliminary input to the December 28, 1990, proposed rule, many of the commenters responding during the formal comment period suggested that the Department's food delivery regulations needed to be proposed again, rather than proceeding directly to a final rule. In addition, several members of Congress requested that the rule be reproposed in light of its impact on State agency food delivery systems. Therefore, the Department intends to issue a second proposed rule addressing WIC food delivery systems and requirements. This second rule will address all of the provisions contained in the previous rulemaking, but will contain significant modifications to some of the proposed provisions, as well as clarifications of several provisions that may not have been clearly understood in the earlier rule.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act, PL 100-503, and the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Amendments of 1990, PL 101-508, the Food Stamp Program must extend certain protections to persons whose benefits could be adversely affected by computer matches. These protections include independent verification of computer information, notification to the affected individual and provision of an opportunity to respond to the information before an adverse action becomes effective. ^PIn addition, this proposed rule describes requirements for State agencies to report information on individuals disqualified from the program for intentional program violations to FCS and the related FCS computer matching program known as the Disqualified Recipient Subsystem (DRS).

        <RULE_TITLE>Child and Adult Care Food Program: Elimination of Whole Cow&apos;s Milk From the Infant Meal Pattern</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes three amendments that would affect meal pattern requirements for infants under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program, 7 CFR parts 210, 220, and 226, respectively. Scientific studies on infant nutrition have demonstrated that it is difficult for infants to consume a balanced diet, with adequate nutrients, when whole cow's milk replaces breast milk or iron-fortified formula. Given the nutritional and medical concerns about cow's milk, this rule proposes to prohibit the service of whole cow's milk to infants through age 11 months, and would require that breast milk or iron-fortified formula be served for an infant's entire first year of life. Tables describing infant meal requirements are amended and new tables are added to indicate what the Department's recommendations are regarding the offering of breast milk to infants, and clarify which meals containing breast milk in place of iron-fortified formula may fulfill the infant meal pattern. These changes would provide additional assistance to child care providers who refer to the infant meal pattern for guidance. Finally, this rule proposes to correct the definition of "infant formula" in part 226 and make the wording consistent with the definition that is currently used in parts 210 and 220.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Food Stamp Recipient Claim Establishment and Collection Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Consumer Service is revising Food Stamp Program regulations which cover the establishment and collection of recipient claims. This action is the result of the enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) and is consistent with the President's regulatory reform effort. In addition, this rule revises existing discretionary areas to improve claim establishment and effective management. The inability of State agencies to establish and collect claims has continuously been cited as a deficiency by the Department's Office of Inspector General. The last significant revision to these regulations was in 1983. Subsequent activities, such as technological advances and general debt management regulations, have rendered many portions of the current rule obsolete. In addition, the current rule has been found to place unnecessary burdens on State agencies. State agencies are responsible for establishing and collecting recipient claims. (94-005)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Summer Food Service Program: Program Meal Service During the School Year</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Implements provision of PL 103-448 which permits Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) meal service to be provided at non-school sites to children who are not in school for a period during the months of October through April due to a natural disaster, building repair, court order, or similar cause. Rule also simplifies the SFSP sponsor application and State monitoring requirements in order to eliminate unnecessary paperwork and reduce administrative burden for sponsors and State agencies.

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment To Remove Formulated Grain--Fruit Product Section</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Formulated grain-fruit products are specially fortified pastry type products which are currently authorized for use in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) to meet one bread/bread alternate and the fruit/vegetable requirements of the meal pattern. Originally intended to increase participation in the SBP by comprising a reimbursable meal when served with milk, subsequent additions to the meal patterns have made this impossible. In addition, these products do not make favorable contributions to a healthy diet. There is a minimum of 22% fat in the product specification, and high sugar levels are also necessary to meet the calorie minimum and produce a palatable product. These products are also low in fiber. Interest in these products from the food industry is low; only a few companies have approved grain-fruit products. These companies could reformulate their existing products into lower fat, tastier products without the constraints of this regulation. This regulation is no longer necessary or effective in promoting participation in the SBP. (95-010)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program Into Comprehensive School Meal Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Sec. 301 of P.L. 103-448 required the consolidation of the school lunch program and the school breakfast program into a comprehensive school meal program. In establishing the comprehensive school meal program, (a) children who are eligible for free and reduced price benefits will continue to receive such benefits; (b) the meals will continue to meet the nutritional requirements of sec. 9(a)(1) of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) and sec. 4(e)(1) of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA); and (c) breakfast and lunch payments will continue to meet the requirements of sec. 4 and 11 of the NSLA and sec. 4 of the CNA. This regulation will consolidate the two programs by making structural changes to the framework of 7 CFR part 210 to accommodate the incorporation of the breakfast program and by removing repetitive and obsolete provisions. Further, 7 CFR part 220 will be removed in its entirety. (95-013)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Modification of the &quot;Vegetable Protein Products&quot; Portion of Appendix A of 7 CFR Parts 210, 225, and 226</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The usage level of vegetable protein products (VPP) is currently limited to a 30 percent substitution of meat, fish or poultry. A nutritional profile has been established which specifies fortification of certain nutrients as well as a protein quality requirement. This regulation could better serve the child nutrition programs if it is modified to allow an increased utilization of foods containing VPP. The food industry has requested that we allow 100 percent soy products to serve as meat alternates in the food based system, since there are no restrictions on their use under the nutrient based system. In addition, current fortification levels of iron and zinc established for the VPP used in the child nutrition programs were based on early dietary research. It is now believed that these levels may be excessive if the VPP is used at greater than a 30 percent level of substitution in the diet. The Department intends to propose a rule to modify the regulations governing the use of vegetable protein products in the child nutrition programs which will provide a consistent nutritional policy regardless of menu planning system used, and will remove confusing regulatory burdens from programs and industry.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Welfare Reform and Regulatory Review of Program Management</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Agriculture is proposing substantial revisions to the Food Stamp Program regulations governing State agency administrative and management requirements. This action is being taken to incorporate certain provisions from the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Welfare Reform) and in response to the President's Regulatory Reform effort and as part of the Department's ongoing effort to expand State flexibility. This action will provide the State agencies with more flexibility in operating the Food Stamp Program by eliminating outdated or overly prescriptive requirements. This rule also proposes to implement provisions of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), which shifts the focus of Federal agencies from managing processes to achieving results.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking proposes to incorporate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program regulations several recommendations suggested by the Department's Office of Inspector General as a result of recently conducted audits. The audits revealed high levels of noncompliance by sponsors and family day care homes in several areas of Program operations. ^PThe Department also proposes to incorporate in the regulations several recommendations from a State-Federal task Force in the areas of (1) State approval of both new and renewing institutions; (2) State oversight of institutions; and (3) training and operational requirements for child care institutions, sponsors of family day care homes, outside-school-hours care centers, and family day care home providers. ^PAs a result of the Task Force's recommendations, this rulemaking also proposes other changes to the CACFP regulations which are intended to streamline the operation of the Program at the State and local levels, improve its integrity, and strengthen oversight control.

        <RULE_TITLE>Determining Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in Schools: Provision 2 and Provision 3</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Currently, schools that serve all meals free for 3 consecutive years may determine free and reduced price school meal eligibility and take daily meal counts by category (free, reduced price and paid) once every 3 years. In years when actual meal counts by category are not taken, schools claim meals for reimbursement based on claiming percentages. This counting and claiming alternative is commonly referred to as Provision 2. This rule would allow schools to extend current procedures an additional 2 years if the socioeconomic status of the schools population remains stable and allow subsequent 5-year cycles. This rule would also add another alternative for schools that serve all meals free for 4 consecutive years. These schools would receive the same level of cash and commodity assistance they received in the last year free and reduced price eligibility determinations were made. For both alternatives, meal costs that exceed reimbursement must be paid for with other than Federal funds. (96-003)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to amend Food Stamp Program rules governing the certification of eligible households. It results from a comprehensive, page-by-page review of all existing Food Stamp Program regulations conducted in response to the President's regulatory reform initiative. The proposed changes would empower States to set their own procedures for case management and customer service; remove overly prescriptive, outdated, and redundant provisions; and emphasize recipient responsibility for complying with Program requirements.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would propose revisions to the bloodwork requirements for WIC applicants. Currently, to be certified as eligible for the Program, applicants must be determined at nutritional risk. In determining nutritional risk, at a minimum height or length and weight must be measured, and a hematological test for anemia must be performed. This rule would eliminate the requirement for a hematological test for anemia as part of the certification process if another risk factor is present that would qualify the applicant as nutritionally at risk. Hematological test data for anemia would still be required for counseling and food package purposes. (96-008)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would update current cost containment regulations to ensure that free and open competition is maintained to achieve the greatest cost savings for infant formula. The rule would require State agencies to evaluate new infant formula rebate contracts on the basis of the lowest net cost of the formula unless the State agency can demonstrate that there is less than 5 percent variance in the retail prices in the State for different brands of infant formula. The rule will also address issues regarding the maintenance of contracts. (96-012)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 104-149, enacted on May 29, 1996, establishes additional menu planning alternatives for the school meals programs and requires the secretary to establish guidelines for the use of these additional alternatives. One alternative specified in the statute was the meal pattern in effect for the 1994-95 school year; the other was "any reasonable approach." This proposed regulation would reestablish the meal pattern as a menu planning alternative and provide guidelines for school food authorities to develop a different approach to menu planning.

        <RULE_TITLE>FSP: State Flexibility and Certification Provisions of Public Law 104-193</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to amend Food Stamp Program regulations to implement 14 provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and one provision of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1996. These provisions would increase State agency flexibility in processing applications for the Food Stamp Program and allow greater use of standard amounts for determining deductions and self-employment expenses. The provisions would also give State agencies options to issue partial allotments for households in treatment centers, count all of the income of an ineligible noncitizen in determining the benefits of the rest of the household, issue combined allotments to certain expedited service households, and certify elderly or disabled households for 24 months. Other changes would revise requirements for determining noncitizen eligibility and the eligibility and benefits of sponsored noncitizens, eliminate the exclusion of certain transitional housing payments and State and local energy assistance, exclude the earnings of students under 18, and require proration of benefits following any break in certification.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program: Regulatory Implementation of Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, (PL 104-193, 110 Stat 2105)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Definition of eligible TEFAP recipient agencies; change of definition of "Emergency Feeding Organization." TEFAP State Plan: change annual submission requirement to every four (4) years. Miscellaneous commodity distribution: eliminate Secretary's authority to modify TEFAP 60/40 formula, delete description of types and varieties of commodities to be purchased, extend deadline for delivery of commodities to States. Allowable administrative costs: broaden State authority to use administrative funds for indirect costs associated with distribution and processing of USDA and non-USDA commodities. Repeal of section 110 of Hunger Prevention Act of 1988: removes authority for SK/FB program, former beneficiaries of which will be served under TEFAP, under revised definition (above).

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Consumer Service is proposing technical changes to the Food Stamp Program's Quality Control System which will reduce the workload on State agencies and improve the efficiency of the quality control system. The proposed changes would: (1) permit State agencies to reduce their sample sizes; (2) clarify the minimum size of the Federal subsample; (3) clarify State sampling procedures; (4) change the formulas for calculating Federal subsample sizes; (5) clarify the process of conducting a quality control review of negative subsystem cases and add suspended cases, those cases that are certified for the Program but do not receive benefits, to the sample universe of cases that are reviewed under the negative subsystem; (6) change the error dollar tolerance level; (7) modify the requirements regarding a home visit in active quality control reviews; (8) provide a variance exclusion under certain circumstances for errors resulting from incorrect policy issued in written State agency policies or directives; (9) adjust the case completion standard; and (10) codify into regulations those circumstances under which Federal quality control findings or disposition for a case will be changed.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Anticipating Income and Reporting Changes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes revisions in Food Stamp Program procedures for reporting and acting on changes in earned income. The changes are designed to increase State agency flexibility and improve procedures for determining the eligibility and benefits of households whose income fluctuates unpredictably. Under this proposal, State agencies would choose from three different reporting requirements for households with earned income. The reporting requirement a State agency selects would replace the current requirement that households report a change of more than $25 in earned income. In addition to reporting a change in source of income, households would be required to report one of the following: a change in wage rate or salary and a change in part-time or full-time status, provided the household is certified for no more than 3 months; a change in wage rate or salary and a change of more than 5 hours a week that is expected to continue for more than a month; or a change in the amount earned of more than $80 a month.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[State agencies are reimbursed by FCS at standard or enhanced Federal reimbursement level for all allowable costs incurred in the State's operation of the Food Stamp Program. This proposed rule would reduce the Federal reimbursement rate for State agencies for fraud control, system development, and immigration status verification to the standard 50 percent rate. It would also limit the time period during which State agencies may file a claim for retroactive funding, and allows the cost of certifying aid to families with dependent children to be charged to the Food Stamp Program for purposes of Federal reimbursement.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Quality Control Provisions of the Mickey Leland Childhood Hunger Relief Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To implement quality control changes to the Food Stamp Act required by section 13951 of the Mickey Leland Childhood Hunger Relief Act in the following areas: 1) interest on quality control claims, 2) the formula for determining quality control claim amounts, 3) variance exclusion for the application of new regulations, 4) time frames for completion of the arbitration process, 5) time frames for determining final error rates, the national average payment error rate, and the amounts of payment claims against State agencies, 6) time frames for notifying State agencies of payment claims, 7) the addition of specific criteria for a determination that "good cause" exists for not imposing a payment claim, and 8) the transfer of authority to make "good cause" determinations from FNS to the Administrative Law Judges. These provisions are nondiscretionary and will not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individuals, industries, Federal, State or local government agencies, or geographical regions.

This interim rule also makes a discretionary change which allows households participating in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) to be categorically eligible as free meal recipients under the CACFP. These changes are intended to reduce the level of administrative burden at the Federal, State and local levels. (95-009)]]></ABSTRACT>

These revisions are intended to encourage Program participation in low-income and rural areas and to reduce the level of administrative and paperwork burden for Federal, State and local program administrators and for program participants.

        <RULE_TITLE>Improved Targeting of Day Care Home Reimbursements in the Child and Adult Care Food Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) made a significant change in the family day care home component of CACFP. Currently, all meals served in family day care homes are reimbursed at a single rate by type of meal, without regard to the location of the home or the household income of the children receiving the meal, with the exception of the day care provider's own children who are subject to income eligibility requirements. ^PStatutory amendments resulting from P.L. 104-193 now require that a means test by child or geographic area be used to determine reimbursement levels for all meals served in homes. This change is intended to target benefits to the needy and is expected to result in a Federal budgetary savings of $2.2 billion over a 6-year period (fiscal years 1997-2002). The law requires that the Department publish an interim regulation to implement these provisions by January 1, 1997, with an effective date of July 1, 1997. (96-022)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Permanent Agreements/Direct Certification in National School Lunch, School Breakfast, and Special Milk Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 1989, the Department proposed to (1) make the agreement between the State agency and school food authorities a permanent document, which may be amended as necessary; and (2) allow school officials to certify children eligible for free meals based on information obtained directly from the State or local agency administering the Food Stamp or Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) Program. As part of the permanent agreement, the Department had also proposed to make most of the provisions in the school food authorities' free and reduced price school meal policy statement permanent. Subsequent to the proposal, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 further amended the National School Lunch Act to eliminate the annual submission of the free and reduced price policy statement. In accordance with the statute, the school food authority shall not be required to resubmit its policy statement to the State agency for approval unless there is a substantive change, as specified by the State agency, in the school food authorities' free and reduced price policy. The statute also replaces AFDC with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Children in households participating in TANF in States that the Secretary determines has comparable standards or more stringent standards than the program on June 1, 1995, shall continue to be automatically eligible for free meals.

        <RULE_TITLE>Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC): Infant Formula Procurement Act of 1992</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulation is to amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to encourage multi-State bidding for infant formula rebate contracts for the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and for other purposes. The major objective of this action is to provide guidelines for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service national office to: (1) solicit bids on behalf of interested State agencies for a cost-containment contract to be entered into by infant formula manufacturers and the WIC State agencies; and (2) disqualify and/or impose civil penalties of up to $100 million per year for infant formula manufacturers that price-fix or engage in related anti-competitive activities. ^PUnder the law, USDA must develop procedures to solicit bids for a cost containment contract to be entered into by infant formula manufacturers and interested WIC State agencies who elect to have USDA perform their bid solicitation and selection process. If two or more States are interested, USDA will solicit bids and select the winning bidder for a cost containment contract. USDA will, in consultation with interested State agencies, divide State agencies into one or more groups and solicit bids for group contracts. This regulation will encourage States to engage in multi-State bidding which is expected to generate an even greater savings to the WIC Program, and will ultimately enable the program to significantly increase participation. ^PNeed for Action: To set forth guidelines within 180 days of enactment, for solicitation of infant formula rebate contracts for two or more States or groups in an interim final rule.

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Stamp Program: Revisions in Retail Food Store Eligibility Criteria and in Eligibility Guidance and Program Authorization</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule sets forth changes required by provisions of the Food Stamp Program Improvements Act of 1994, Public Law 103-225, title II, 108 Stat. 108-110 (1994). The purpose of this rule is to implement these statutory changes to the Food Stamp Act of 1977, as amended. It would revise the definition of "retail food store" to conform to the statutory changes to require that a firm must meet one of two new criteria to qualify for participation in the Food Stamp Program. One criterion focuses on the variety of staple foods for home preparation and consumption available on a continuous basis, including perishables. The second criterion requires that a firm's staple-food sales exceed 50 percent of its total gross sales. This rule also addresses the requirement in Public Law 103-225 for new procedures for providing periodic notification of eligibility and for reauthorizing participating firms. (95-003)]]></ABSTRACT>

Also, the State Plan requirement to solicit advice from the National Advisory Council on Child Nutrition will be deleted because the council requirement has been deleted. ^PAdditionally, section 214 of Public Law 101-147 amends the National School Lunch Act by requiring States to modify their NET plans annually rather than resubmitting the entire plan each year. This proposed rule would bring the NET regulations into conformance with the National School Lunch Act by requiring States to submit a full plan for the first year of the five-year reauthorization mandated by Public Law 101-147, and thereafter to submit annual updates.

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Regulations Governing the Determination of Eligibility for Free and Reduced Price Meals and Free Milk in Schools</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Part 245, the regulations governing the determinations of eligibility for free and reduced price benefits under the school nutrition programs is proposed to be revised to clarify requirements, remove obsolete and unnecessary provisions, and streamline procedure. The intent of the proposal is to simplify provisions for both households applying for free and reduced price meals or free milk in schools and for school officials responsible for making eligibility determinations. The proposal will also include the removal of part 245. Rather, the regulations governing the determination of free and reduced price school meal and milk benefits will be added to the consolidation of the school lunch and breakfast program regulations, parts 210 and 220, into a comprehensive school meals program under part 210 when that action is completed.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action proposes to amend Food Stamp Program rules affecting Alaska, The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and demonstration projects. This action is one result of a comprehensive page by page review of all existing Food Stamp Program regulations which was conducted in response to the President's efforts to reform the Federal regulatory system. The changes will eliminate prescriptive detailed processes and empower States to set their own procedures for case management and customer service; eliminate outdated and redundant regulatory requirements; and emphasize recipient responsibility for applying and reporting their circumstances properly.

        <RULE_TITLE>National Forest Prohibitions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations at 36 CFR 261, subpart A, set out the acts prohibited on National Forest System (NFS) lands. These prohibitions derive from either statutes governing National Forest programs or other regulations. The regulations at subpart B authorize Regional Foresters, Forest Supervisors, or Station Directors to close National Forest System lands under their jurisdiction to certain uses or to restrict some uses of NFS lands. These closures are issued by order. Comments on the first proposed rule have been reviewed. Because of the high level of public interest in this rulemaking the Agency has decided to issue a second proposed rule for comment. This action no longer includes the minor revisions to part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities, which is now described as a separate action.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Small Tracts Act Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Implementation of the Agency's Small Tracts regulations (adopted in 1984) has revealed an inadvertent inconsistency between the regulations at 36 CFR 254.35(f) and 254.41(a) and the legislative history of the Small Tracts Act of January 12, 1983. The regulations imply that the disposal of mineral fractions by sale can only be made in response to an application from an abutting landowner, thus discouraging the conveyance by sale to the public. The Act clearly authorizes sale of mineral fractions to the public through public sale, as well as individual applications, provided that certain conditions are met. The revisions will clarify the application of the Act to ensure that both individual applications and public sale are permissible means of disposing of qualifying tracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Isolated Cabin Policy</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Agency policy is to terminate isolated cabin authorizations on National Forest System land that were constructed without advance authorization and subsequently authorized by special-use permit. These cabins are used for part- or full-time occupancy. These cabins differ from recreation residences which were established in tracts specific for this purpose and built with Agency approval and supervision. Isolated cabins originated in several ways, including encroachment and mining claims. They restrict management of the surrounding National Forest land and deprive the public the use and enjoyment of the land actually occupied and the surrounding area. The action proposed is to seek input from the public as to whether the present policy should be continued, or whether it should be revised so as to examine each isolated occupancy and determine whether, in the interest of fairness and equity, the cabin should be converted to a recreation residence.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Timber Sale Performance and Payment Bond Form Revision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service has experienced a number of contract defaults associated with timber sales which were bid during a pre-1982 period of high-priced bidding. Subsequently, the Forest Service has had difficulty making collections from some sureties on their bonds guaranteeing performance for these timber sales. As part of a financial security initiative affecting future timber sales, the Forest Service is proposing to revise payment and performance bond forms currently used to clarify surety's obligation as to what is being guaranteed, when payment is due in case of default, what additional charges will be assessed if payment is not made when due, and when collection action may be suspended. Other alternatives include eliminating surety bonds as a form of security for timber sale contracts, reducing surety guarantee to the contract's mid-point and to guarantee periodic payments, and retention of current bond forms. Upon adoption, the final revised bond forms will be issued for use by Forest Service Contracting and Fiscal Officers within future timber sale contracts. The former title, Surety Bond Form Revision, has been modified to more accurately reflect the content of the proposed rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend 36 CFR 223.200, to list species proposed to be surplus to domestic manufacturing needs. This proposed rule would implement a portion of section 620a(b) of the Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990 (16 USC 620 et seq). Section 620a(a) of the Act provides that no person who acquires unprocessed timber originating from Federal lands west of the 100th meridian in the contiguous 48 States may export such timber from the United States, or sell, trade, exchange or otherwise convey such timber from the United States, unless such timber has been determined under subsection (b) to be surplus to the needs of timber manufacturing facilities in the United States. Section 620a(b) of the Act provides that the prohibition contained in section (a) shall not apply to specific quantities of grades and species of unprocessed timber originating in Federal lands which the Secretary concerned determines through rulemaking to be surplus to domestic manufacturing needs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Appeal of Decisions Relating to Occupancy and Use of National Forest System Lands</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These proposed regulations would relocate these appeals rules to a new part 214, thus placing all appeals and notices and comment rules in close proximity. Additionally, this proposed rule would revise a number of existing provisions. For example, changes to part 251 would clarify the application of this rule to the issuance of permits for occupancy and use of National Forest System lands. When 36 CFR part 251, subpart C, regulations were promulgated in 1989, NEPA analysis and documentation was not consistently applied to the authorization of special uses. Now the authorization and the issuance of permits and other authorization requires application of the NEPA process prior to issuance. In addition, since these regulations were implemented, Congress has passed the Appeal Reform Act. The proposed changes to the permit related appeal rules are needed to make this regulation consistent with regulations at 36 CFR part 215. Among specific proposed changes being considered are removing the second level of appeal opportunity, removing the discretionary review option, shortening timeframes for scheduling oral presentations, and changes to conform terminology and definitions with 36 CFR part 215.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule and policy change will provide for extension of National Forest System (NFS) timber sale contracts when such extension will permit the prompt removal and utilization of non-NFS owned timber damaged by catastrophic events. The change will define the responsibilities of the parties for requesting and approving such extensions and specify when such extension should be approved. This change will also allow for the use of scarce timber resources and the recovery of economic benefits from timber that might otherwise be lost because of contractual obligations to harvest undamaged timber.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed policy would revise form 2400-6 and the 2400-6T timber sale contracts currently used by the Forest Service to sell National Forest System timber. The proposed timber sale contract provisions will be included as part of the proposed policy. The proposed contracts reflect recent court decisions and recent natural resource and environmental legislation and would clarify the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the contracting parties. The proposed policy also would address specific provisions in the current contract that have generated costly litigation in the past between the Government and the purchaser and would address the concerns regarding timber theft and log accountability.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule would respond to rulemaking petitions submitted by the Northwest Arctic Regional Advisory Council (et al, 4/12/94) and the Mentasta Village Council (et al, 7/15/93) regarding Federal regulation of subsistence hunting and fishing on lands, which have been selected from non-Federal and Federal land for conveyance to Alaska Native Corporations or to the State of Alaska, but which have not yet been conveyed. The proposed rule would also respond to the April 20, 1995, decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding Federal subsistence management authority over hunting and fishing in navigable waters in Alaska. This proposed rulemaking will address identification of waters that meet the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act definition of "public lands," and will address Secretarial authority to restrict or limit hunting or fishing on non-Federal lands that interferes with subsistence hunting or fishing on Federal public lands.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations are proposed to define and establish procedures for administering the statutory rights and preferences established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Act of 1980 for historical operators, Native Corporations, and local residents to conduct revenue producing visitor services on certain National Forest System Lands in Alaska. The regulations are necessary to comply with section 1307 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Act which requires the Secretary of Agriculture to give preference to persons he determines by rule are local residents. The regulations would apply only to Conservation System Units administered by the Forest Service.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fee Schedule for Communications Facilities Authorized To Use and Occupy National Forest System Lands in Regions 8 and 9</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service proposes to adopt a revised policy and fee schedule for determining annual rental charges for communications uses authorized on National Forest System lands in the Forest Service southern and eastern Regions (8 and 9). The proposed fee schedule and policy for communications uses are identical to the fee schedule and policy adopted in Regions 1-6 (60 FR 55089 October 27, 1995 ). The proposal is based on sound business management practices and reflects fair market value, as required by title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, the Independent Offices Appropriations Act of 1952, and the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25. The total number of communications uses in Regions 8 and 9 (1,150 permit holders) account for approximately 15 percent of all communication uses (7,756 permit holders) on the National Forests. Therefore, the proposed fee schedule and policy affect a relatively small number of interested parties, since communications fee issues do not attract the interest of the public at large. The agency expects controversy over this issue to be isolated to a few permit holders and does not expect congressional interest due to the limited scope of this proposal. Many of the interested parties in Regions 8 and 9 are national entities and, therefore, have already commented on and are now subject to the new fee schedule in the rest of the country (Regions 1-6).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In February, 1994, the Forest Service published proposed rule changes for parts 261 and 262 of title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Due to the high level of interest in and comment on part 261, the decision was made to publish a second proposed rule. The majority of the public comment on part 262 referred to the definition section which has been revised to respond to those comments. The Forest Service has decided to issue a second proposed rule for comment on part 262, Law Enforcement Support Activities. Proposed revisions to part 261 will proceed separately at a later time.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Administrative, Cooperative Funds Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service proposes to amend current regulations to establish the minimum requirements applicable to agreements between individuals, State and local governments, other non-Federal entities, and the Forest Service. This rulemaking expands the basis for executing written agreements, allows reimbursable payments by the cooperators, provides guidance to address conflict of interest, and protects the Government's interest. The agency anticipates no additional costs for this regulation. The benefits of potential cooperators and the Forest Service of the proposed rule include more efficient use of manpower, since there will now be one payment. There will be no need to process refunds in the event of delayed or cancelled projects. The proposed rule should further the work of the Forest Service by encouraging additional cooperative relationships, because the rule makes it easier to enter into subsequent cooperative agreements. The Government's interests are protected through guaranteed reimbursement by the surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit provided by the cooperator, if funding is $25,000 or more.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Hydropower Applications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service is revising its current policy and procedures implemented in February 1987, concerning administration of hydropower authorizations and the processing of proposals for hydropower projects affecting National Forest System lands. These revisions are necessary to make agency policy and procedures consistent with regulatory changes by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The revision also includes the revised fee structures for hydropower projects on National Forest System lands exempted from FERC licensing. The fees have been revised to reflect fair market value. The proposed policy was published in the Federal Register on May 22, 1995 (60 FR 27153) for a 60-day public comment period, which was extended for another 45 days (60 FR 36401). The final policy will incorporate revisions and address comments received during the public comment period.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule sets forth Forest Service procedures and role in the regulation of Indian allotments on National Forest System land. The Indian Allotment Act, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make allotments of National Forest System lands to Indians for homesteading and agricultural and grazing purposes. The Forest Service has relied upon USDI rules and procedures at 43 CFR 2533 to govern its involvement in Indian allotment cases. Litigation and a decision by the Interior Board of Land Appeals require the Forest Service to set forth its own regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disposal of National Forest Timber; Cancellation of Timber Sale Contracts</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Current regulations governing cancellation of National Forest timber sale contracts do not adequately protect the Government's financial interests in the event the Forest Service is forced to cancel contracts due to events beyond its control arising from compliance with environmental statutes. This rulemaking would remove an unworkable compensation-of-damages formula and establish a termination-for environmental-protection clause in timber sale contracts, a standard in most Federal procurement contracts.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>State and Private Forestry Assistance Stewardship Incentive Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule would incorporate streamlined procedural changes in response to public comments on the interim rule published December 4, 1991. The interim rule established the interim procedures for administration of the Stewardship Incentive Program. The Program is intended to encourage private landowners, through cost-share assistance, to manage their forest lands for economic, environmental, and social benefits. Only two alternatives were considered in detail: (1) to implement the Program in accordance with 16 USC 2101, et seq, and (2) not to implement the Program, in which case there would be no accelerated program for multiple resource management on nonindustrial private forest lands. The overall effects of the Program over time will be environmentally beneficial by enhancing wetlands, wildlife habitat, forest health, forest productivity, and recreation. The Program will help meet future demand for commodity and noncommodity forest resources. There are no potential negative impacts anticipated for the Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Special-Use Applications and Administration of Special-Use Authorizations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service proposes to amend the regulations governing the special use and occupancy of National Forest System lands to minimize application expenses, streamline and make more efficient environmental analysis of special use proposals, provide the ability to use one-time payments for easements as presently used in the marketplace, limit certain liability requirements to amounts determined by a risk assessment, make certain definitions more explicit, and clarify direction on renewal of existing special use regulations. The intended effect is to reduce costs to proponents and the agency, expedite decisionmaking, and administer authorizations in a more "user friendly" manner by removing certain requirements deemed unnecessary and/or outdated. This rulemaking responds to goals identified in the National Performance Review Regulatory Reform effort.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Ski Area Permit Fee System</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Forest Service proposes to revise existing procedures for determining permit fees for the use of National Forest System lands by ski areas. Permit fees for most ski areas operating on National Forest System lands are determined under the graduated rate fee system (GRFS). As applied to large ski areas, GRFS is complex and costly to administer, and has thus been the subject of several audits, appeals, and lawsuits. Under the proposed policy, the Agency would determine permit fees by site-specific appraisal of the use of National Forest System land by ski areas.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>36 CFR 223 Subpart C-Suspension and Debarment of Timber Purchasers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 20, 1994, Federal Agencies proposed a common rule to ensure reciprocal governmentwide effect on debarments and suspensions. On January 6, 1996, the Department of Agriculture published its final rule (61 FR 250) to implement regulations for Nonprocurement Debarment and suspension at 7 CFR 3017. These rules became effective February 5, 1996. As such, Forest Service timber sale related debarments and suspensions will now be governed by the governmentwide common rule and USDA rule. Accordingly, Forest Service debarments and suspensions rules will be amended or removed as necessary to conform to the governmentwide common rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the published revised circular, OMB specified as "required action" that Federal agencies responsible for awarding and administering grants and other agreements to recipients described therein, shall adopt the language of the Circular unless other provisions are required by Federal Statute or exceptions or deviations are approved by OMB. This interim final rule adopts the provisions of the Circular and its language to the maximum extent feasible with minor language changes made to make the language apply specifically to the DOC and its operating units.]]></ABSTRACT>

This action is being taken to fulfill the requirements of a Memorandum of Understanding with Canada concerning the collection and exchange of import information. The USTR also has directed the Census Bureau to collect Canadian Province of Origin Information for selected softwood lumber products. This information is now collected for use in monitoring an agreement negotiated with Canada on softwood lumber products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings; Administrative Protective Order Procedures and Procedures for Imposing Sanctions for Violation of a Protective Order</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department needs to enhance the administrative efficiency of its investigations of alleged violations of administrative protective orders (APOs) and of the process for imposing sanctions for violations, as well as the fairness of the procedures to all concerned parties. In addition, the Department needs to simplify and streamline the APO administrative process and reduce the administrative burdens on the ITA and trade practitioners. The Department is considering a variety of amendments to its existing regulations to achieve these goals. With respect to APO violations and sanctions, the Department is considering (1) expedited procedures for certain APO violations that are uncontested, inadvertent, and technical; (2) providing for warnings to be issued where a finding of a violation would lead to unjustifiably harsh sanctions; (3) where warranted, permitting the agency to dismiss a charge without prejudice without the appointment or approval of an administrative law judge; (4) providing for a sunset provision that is fairer to past violators and that eases the administrative burden; and (5) permitting a private reprimand as a sanction without requiring as a precondition that parties engage in settlement discussions. The Department expects to benefit from gains in administrative efficiency and fairness without incurring any additional costs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Joint Draft Policy for Safe Harbor and Candidate Species Conservation (CSC) Agreements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Marine Fisheries Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service will be jointly proposing these policies, which would allow non-federal landowners to obtain ESA section 10(a)(1)(A) enhancement of survival permits associated with a Safe Harbor or CSC Agreements. The Agreements would be between NMFS and/or FWS and non-Federal landowners to provide a net conservation benefit to endangered, threatened, candidate, proposed, and other unlisted species. After terms of the Agreement are completed, the enrolled lands could be returned to the baseline or agreed upon conditions through incidental taking authorized in the permit. These enhancement permits will provide non-Federal landowners, who undertake voluntary conservation activities agreed to in the agreements, assurances that future land use will not be restricted as a result of their conservation efforts. The enhancement of survival permits would authorize the incidental taking in performing management actions to achieve the net conservation benefit as well as incidental take authorized to return the land to target conditions upon the completion of all the management action. Participating landowners will derive regulatory certainty, because the ESA will not prohibit them from returning their land to original or agreed upon conditions once the Agreement is fulfilled. The Agreements encourage beneficial land-use, which helps imperiled species. The FWS have their own permit regulations and have made a similar request under EO12866, their request number is RIN 108-AD95.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory action would impose trip limits and time/area closures on black rockfish fishing off the coast of Oregon in order to preserve declining stocks of black rockfish. Restrictions on harvest and areas fished would adversely affect fishermen in the short term, but these measures are designed to protect black rockfish and encourage the rebuilding of stocks in the long term.

        <RULE_TITLE>Amend Regulations Governing the Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The proposed rule implements certain changes in the prohibitions on importing or exporting marine mammals or marine mammal parts and products that occurred with the enactment of the Marine Mammal Protection Act Amendments of 1994 (Pub. L. 104-238). This action prohibits the export of marine mammals or marine mammal products for purposes other than public display, scientific research, or enhancing the survival of a species or stock and establishes three new categories of exceptions to the prohibition on importing marine mammal parts and products. This is a non-controversial action that is not significant as it will have only minor effects on a small number of people, most of whom will benefit by the new exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Critical Habitat Designation for Green and Hawksbill Sea Turtle in Culebra, Puerto Rico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NOAA proposes to designate critical habitat for the threatened Atlantic green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and endangered Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricatta) pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). The geographic area proposed for critical habitat designation comprises all coastal waters surrounding the islands of the Culebra archipelago, from the Mean High Water line out to 3 nautical miles (nm). Isla de Culebra (Culebra) lies approximately 16 nm east of the northeast coast of Puerto Rico. This designation will provide green and hawksbill turtles with the necessary shelter, cover, and food resources for their survival region. The designation of critical habitat provides explicit notice to Federal agencies and the public that these areas and features are vital to the conservation of the species.]]></ABSTRACT>

NMFS would certify third-party providers of observer services, and vessel owners would contract with these third parties for observer services when advised that an observer must be carried by the vessel. An Observer Plan prepared by NMFS would establish the roles and relationships of NMFS, observer providers, and vessel owners.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory amendment prepared under the framework procedure of the Fishery Managment Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico, (FMP) for establishing annual total allowable catch (TAC) and related management measures in support of achieving the TAC would modify the current regulations implementing the FMP to: Provide that the second part of the 1997 commercial red snapper season (for harvesting the second part of the annual quota) will open at noon on September 2 and close at noon on September 15 (assuming that the second part of the quota has not been taken earlier)--thereafter, the commercial red snapper fishery would open at noon on the first day of each month and close at noon on the fifteenth day of each month or close whenever the second part of the 1997 commercial red snapper quota is taken; as required by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (section 407(d)), establish a red snapper recreational fishery quota, changing the current recreational allocation (unenforced through fishery closures) and authorize the Reginal Administrator to close the recreational fishery in Federal waters (reduce the recreational bag limit to zero) at such time necessary to prevent the recreational quota from being exceeded; and maintain the 1997 red snapper TAC at 9.12 million pounds as currently provided for by the FMP.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of Pacific Insular Area Fishing Agreement Provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would implement provisions of the Sustainable Fisheries Act that authorize the Secretary of State to negotiate Pacific Insular Areas Fishing Agreements under which foreign vessels could have access to portions of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone around insular "States" such as Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or around U.S. Possessions in the Pacific. Fees paid to the U.S. for such access would revert to the government of the insular area around which the fishing occurred. PIAFAs could only be entered into with the agreement of the Governor of the relevant insular area. Conservation plans, which must be prepared in consultation with the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council and must be consistent with relevant fishery management plans, would specify such things as allowable levels of fishing and activities for which funds collected would be spent. Foreign fishing permits would specify conditions and restrictions governing foreign vessel activities. The rule would provide guidance concerning Conservation Plan contents and processes for approval.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Allowance of Small-Scale Non-Intrusive Jade Collecting in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Ocean Service, Sanctuaries and Reserve Division (SRD) is issuing an ANPRM to inform the public that it is considering allowing small-scale, non-intrusive jade collecting in the MBNMS, and to invite written comments, advice, and recommendations. There has been public interest in allowing jade collection in the MBNMS and this action will respond to and address those interests. If SRD determines to amend the regulations, it will issue a proposed rule with an additional 45-day comment period. ^PThis action is considered not significant because the advance notice of proposed rulemaking simply presents an issue and course of action under consideration by SRD and requests comments from the public. This action will ensure that SRD takes into account all views on this issue. This action does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, nor does it adversely effect in a material way the economy, environment, public health or safety.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Licensing of Private Remote-Sensing Space Systems</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pub. L. 102-555 amends the Land Remote Sensing Commercialization Act of 1984 to transfer the LANDSAT program from the Department of Commerce to a joint NASA/DOD office. However, title II retains the basic provisions of title IV of the previous act authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to license private operators of land remote-sensing space systems who are subject to U.S. jurisdiction. The Secretary is required to consult with the Secretaries of Defense and State, who are responsible for determining conditions to protect national security and foreign policy concerns, respectively. The recent Act removes a regulatory restriction which required operators to make the data available to all customers on the same terms and conditions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Implement Permit, Reporting, and Recordkeeping and Observer Requirements for Processing Vessels Over 125 Feet and Their Catcher Vessels: Pacific Coast Groundfish</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations would implement a comprehensive data collection and regulatory program for all processing vessels longer than 125 feet and for all harvesting vessels that deliver their catch to those vessels in the groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California. This program would consist of: (1) a requirement that processing vessels carry NMFS-certified observers; (2) a requirement for a mandatory Federal permit; (3) recordkeeping and reporting requirements; and (4) a definition for "fishing trip" for processing vessels over 125 feet in length for the purpose of applying trip landing and frequency limits. The action may be split into separate rules.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Rule To Establish Guidelines for Nonlethally Deterring Marine Mammals From Endangering Personal Safety or Damaging Public or Private Property</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 30, 1994, the President signed Pub. L. 103-238, the Marine Mammal Protection Act Amendments of 1994. One part of this law implemented a new section 101(a)(4) to authorize the nonlethal harassment takings by citizens of the United States to deter marine mammals from: (1) Damaging commercial fishing gear or catch; (2) damaging private property; (3) endangering public safety; or (4) damaging public property. The amendments require a list of guidelines for use in safely deterring marine mammals and provide for prohibiting certain deterrent measures that may have a significant adverse impact on marine mammals.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>North Atlantic Right Whale Protection; Interim Final Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Disturbance has been identified in the Final Recovery Plan for the Northern Right Whale (Recovery Plan) as among the principal human-induced factors impeding right whale recovery. Accordingly, as recommended in the Recovery Plan, NMFS is establishing a minimum approach distance to northern right whales in an attempt to reduce the current level of disturbance and potential for vessel interaction and injury. Specifically, this interim final rule will prohibit approaches within 500 yards (460m) of a right whale, whether by vessel, aircraft or other means. The rule will require right whale avoidance measures if a vessel or aircraft is within the restricted area. Generally, vessels are required to immediately depart from the whale. Exceptions are provided for emergency situations, where certain authorizations are provided, for aircraft operations (unless the aircraft is conducting whale watch activities), for certain right whale disentanglement/rescue efforts and investigations, and for a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver and unable to comply with the right whale avoidance measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To simplify NMFS' Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), NMFS issues this final rule to redesignate those regulations governing the take of northern fur seals for subsistence purposes on the Pribilof Islands. By this rule, an entire part within the CFR is removed. This final rule does not make substantive changes to the existing regulations. The purpose of this final rule is to make the regulations more concise, better organized, and thereby easier for the public to use. This action is consistent with the President's Regulatory Reform Initiative to simplify regulations and reduce the regulatory burden on the public.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A two-year moratorium on issuance of permits for the Mau Zone will provide a period of stability in which the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council will complete a restructuring of the management program for the northwestern Hawaiian Islands bottomfish fishery. The Council recently received economic data on the fishery as well as a new stock assessment. The Council will decide whether a new limited entry program should be instituted and whether the Ho'omalu Zone and Mau Zone should be combined. The new program should be in effect early in 1999.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Consolidation of the rules for Spiny Lobster Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic and Stone Crab Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposed to withdraw of the Fishery Management Plans for Spiny Lobster and stone crab (FMPs). Thus regulations implementing these plans were not included in the consolidated regulations for Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf, and South Atlantic at 50 CFR part 622. Recently, NMFS withdrew the proposed rules that would have withdrawn the FMPs. This final rule will incorporate the rules implementing these FMPs in the consolidated regulations without substantive change.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Adjustment of northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) lobster harvest guideline system to prevent overfishing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In 1996, the NWHI spiny lobster fishery regulations were modified to allow retention of all lobsters caught, regardless of size or sexual condition. It was thought that vessel operators would retain all lobsters caught and not cause excess wasteful fishing mortality by discarding small or berried lobsters. It appears however, that significant highgrading occurred, so that total fishing mortality exceeded the annual harvest limit. The intention of this regulatory adjustment, under the framework provisions of the FMP would be to limit the harvest and prevent overfishing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Final Rule To Incorporate the Regulations Governing the Northern Anchovy Into the Consolidated Regulations for Fisheries Off the West Coast and in the Western Pacific</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will remove part 662 from title 50 of the CFR and add the provisions of that part to the consolidated Federal fishery regulations at 50 CFR part 660. Part 662 contains the Federal regulations governing the northern anchovy fishery off the West Coast. NMFS, after publishing for public review and comment a proposed rule to rescind the northern anchovy regulations, concluded that rescission of the northern anchovy regulations is inappropriate. This rule is necessary to implement the President's regulation reform initiative, under which all Magnuson-Stevens Act fisheries regulations governing the fisheries of the west coast and western pacific are consolidated in 50 CFR part 660. The northern anchovy regulations had not been included in the consolidated rule published at 60 FR 34570 (July 2, 1996) because NMFS, at that time, anticipated that the northern anchovy fishery management plan would be withdrawn, and the implementing regulations removed.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Regulations will establish a procedure for setting and revising quotas to govern the removal of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Gulf of Mexico and Florida's east coast. Regulations will be supported by an EIS that will provide a comprehensive review of the status of stocks of bottlenose dolphins in the southeast region and the validity of the 2 percent rule for determining the allowable take to the extent reliable data are available. These regulations and quotas will take into account other types of taking such as those that may occur incidentally to commercial fisheries.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Sea Turtle Monitoring and Conservation Measures for Nonshrimp Fisheries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to protect sea turtles through the implementation of sea turtle conservation measures on nonshrimp fisheries. Bottom trawlers in the mid-Atlantic take sea turtles when not using turtle excluder devices (TEDs) and may jeopardize the continued existence of endangered sea turtles. NMFS proposes to require TEDs in all bottom trawlers operating from Texas through Delaware. Other non-shrimp fisheries using tow lines, gill nets, or other gear probably take significant numbers of sea turtles. In order to better quantify that level of take, NMFS proposes to require observers in all fisheries suspected of taking turtles in all U.S. waters.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will finalize the interim final rule implementing the Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act. The interim final rule: (1) identified fish and fish products subject to importation requirements mandated by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, as amended by the DPC14; (2) specified the use and contents of a new NOAA form required to import into the United States certain fish and fish products potentially harvested with methods injurious to marine mammals; (3) required importers of certain fish and fish products harvested by nations that engage in high seas large-scale driftnet fishing to provide certification by a responsible government official of the harvesting nation that the items to be imported were not harvested with large-scale driftnets in certain areas of the high seas; and (4) regulated the use of labels suggesting that tuna products are "dolphin safe." This rule also implements portions of the High Seas Driftnet Fisheries Enforcement Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Rule To Require Certain Fish From Mexico To Retain Heads and Tails Intact in Order To Protect the Endangered Totoaba</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to a petition, the National Marine Fisheries Service may propose to regulate the importation of certain fish from Mexico by requiring those fish to be imported with heads and tails intact. This action, if warranted, would be in order to prevent the illegal importation of totoaba, an endangered scianid fish, which when in fillet form is indistinguishable from the other species. Preliminarily, NMFS has determined that this rule, if promulgated, will have a minimal economic impact on importers, as major importers require fish imports to retain heads in order to determine freshness.]]></ABSTRACT>

Section 4(b)(2) of the ESA requires that critical habitat be designated for a listed species after taking into consideration the economic impact, and any other relevant impact, of specifying any particular area as critical habitat. Critical habitat is the specific area within the geographical range of the species that has physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the species and which may require special management consideration or protection.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule amends NOAA's regulations to make them consistent with a Federal District Court ruling on the Agency's consideration of a respondent's ability to pay when assessing a civil penalty. The amendment removed a provision which placed the burden on the respondent to raise and prove inability to pay an assessed penalty when the statute involved requires NOAA to take ability to pay into account. A subsequent amendment to the statute in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act will require changes to the interim final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals: Tuna Purse Seine Vessel Observer Expenses</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to amend its regulations governing the reimbursement of tuna vessel owners for the cost of carrying NMFS observers (50 CFR 216.24(f)(4)). The regulations require that a U.S.-flag tuna purse seine vessel holding a certificate of inclusion under the general permit issued to the American Tunaboat Association carry an observer when assigned by the Director, Southwest Region, NMFS. The regulations currently require that NMFS reimburse vessel operators for all costs associated with carrying the observers. The proposed rule change would require that "the vessel owner shall incur all reasonable costs directly related to the quartering and maintaining of such observers on board such vessels."]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Proposed Rule To Authorize Lethal Takings of Marine Mammals by State Authorities</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 120 of the MMPA as amended in 1994 provides the Secretary the discretion to authorize the intentional lethal taking of individually identifiable pinnipeds which are having a significant negative impact on salmonids that are either 1) listed under the ESA, 2) approaching a threatened or endangered status, or 3) migrate through the Ballard Locks in Seattle. The process for determining whether to implement the authority commences with a State developing and submitting an application that provides a detailed description of the interaction problem. If warranted by scientific evidence, NMFS is to establish a Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force to address the situation described in the application and publish a notice in the Federal Register requesting public comment on the application. Within 60 days after establishment, and after reviewing public comments in response to the Federal Register notice, the Pinniped-Fishery Interaction Task Force is to recommend approval or denial of the proposed intentional lethal taking along with recommendations on the proposed location, time, and method of such taking, criteria for evaluating the success of the action, and the duration of the recommendations. NMFS must either approve or deny the application.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On April 30, 1994, the President signed Pub. L. 103-238, the Marine Mammal Protection Act Amendments of 1994. One part of this law amended section 101(a)(5) to establish an expedited process by which citizens of the United States, who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specific geographic region, can apply for an authorization to incidentally take small numbers of marine mammals by harassment. The proposed rule, if implemented, would establish specific time limits for public notice and comment on any requests for authorization which would be granted under this rule; implement procedures for the establishment of scientific peer review groups to review an applicant's monitoring plan when the taking may affect the availability of a stock for subsistence uses; and limit authorizations to a period of 1 year.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Marine Mammal Protection Act amendments of 1994 (Public Law 103-238) provide for the development and implementation of take reduction plans to assist in the recovery or prevent the depletion of strategic marine mammal stocks. These take reduction plans shall be developed by take reduction teams, comprised of representatives of Federal, state, and other government agencies, as well as other non-governmental organizations. In some cases, take reduction plans may recommend regulatory measures for effective implementation. NMFS must publish proposed regulations to implement such plans for public review and comment during a period not to exceed 90 days.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Undersea Research Program Funding Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The National Undersea Research Program (NURP) is revising its procedures to emphasize the peer review process in the funding process. Under the new procedures, NURP will compete all omnibus and national program proposals that will permit true competition through the peer review process. The regulations will detail procedures under which the NURP office will convene a single review process with multiple panels covering different subject areas to consider and rate proposals. The results will be used to advise the NURP office regarding quality and utility of the projects. The NURP office will subsequently determine which proposals will be funded and use this information to set funding levels for the individual centers.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Amendment 9 to the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements management measures for the black sea bass fishery in order to reduce fishing mortality and allow the stock to rebuild. The measures for the commercial fishery include a moratorium on new entrants; imposes restrictions on the size of vessels allowed as a replacement for a moratorium eligible vessel; requires charter/party vessel, dealer, and operator permits; and establishes reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The following measures will be adjusted annually: minimum fish size, minimum mesh size for otter trawl vessels, a maximum roller size, and pot and trap gear requirements. A commercial quarterly quota will be implemented in 1998 with trip limits that will be allocated to the commercial black sea bass fishery for coastal states from Maine through North Carolina. In the recreational fishery, modifications to recreational measures including seasons, possession limits, and minimum sizes may also be implemented if the Council deems them necessary in its annual review. Beginning in 1998, a coastwide harvest limit will be specified annually. In the future, the Council may alter the system to distribute and manage the annual commercial quota and may establish special management zones that would be implemented by regulatory amendment.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>ASMFC&apos;s Amendment 5 was completed on 3/95. This amendment relaxes State regulations restricting the take of striped bass in recognition of the recovery of striped bass stocks along the Atlantic coast. Federal action is anticipated to change the current Federal closure to striped bass fishing in the EEZ to regulation which will be less restrictive and more compatible with State regulations.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <RULE_TITLE>Identification of Special Sea Turtle Conservation Areas and Appropriate Conservation Measures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS is issuing a final rule to amend the regulations protecting sea turtles. The final rule: Removes the approval of the Morrison, Parrish, and Taylor soft turtle excluder devices (TEDs), effective April 1, 1997; removes the approval of all soft TEDs, effective 1 year after the final rule is published; requires that TEDs be installed in try nets with a headrope length greater than 12 ft (3.6 m) and a footrope length greater than 15 ft (4.6 m), effective 1 year after the final rule is published; establishes Shrimp Fishery Sea Turtle Conservation Areas (SFSTCAs); and, within the SFSTCAs, removes the approval of all soft TEDs, imposes the new TED requirement for try nets, and modifies the requirements for bottom-opening hard TEDs. This final rule is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of the regulations protecting sea turtles in reducing sea turtle mortality resulting from shrimp trawling in the Atlantic and Gulf Areas in the southeastern United States.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Amendment To Adjust Red Snapper Management Measures in the Gulf of Mexico for 1997 Season</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The regulatory amendment prepared under framework procedures of the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico will specify that the recreational red snapper allocation shall be considered a quota, and the Regional Administrator is authorized to reduce the bag limit to zero through notice action at such time as projected to be necessary to prevent the recreational sector from exceeding that fishing year's allocation, starting in 1997. The regulatory amendment also will specify that the second half of each red snapper commercial season will operate as two weeks open, two weeks closed, with each opening occurring from noon on the first day of the month through noon on the 15th day of the month (the opening in 1997 will occur at noon on September 2). The amendment may also specify vermilion snapper bag limits, size limits, or other management measures to achieve optimum yield.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 9 would establish a limited access system for the snapper-grouper fishery in the South Atlantic. Eligibility may be based on participants who have been in the fishery since the control date (July 30, 1991) who have reported all landings since that time. License limitation, effort units, and transferable and non-transferable individual quotas will be considered. These measures will be considered in conjunction with vessel trip limits, area quotas, and fishing zones. The South Atlantic Council will also be considering regulations on the sale of fish caught under a bag limit.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Restricting or Prohibiting Attracting Sharks in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NOAA is proposing to amend the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary regulations to prohibit the attraction of White Sharks in the nearshore (seaward to three miles) areas of the Sanctuary. The proposed prohibition is to ensure that Sanctuary resources and qualities are not adversely impacted and to avoid conflicts among various users of the Sanctuary. The rule would also clarify the "traditional fishing exemption to the discharge prohibition, and add definitions of "fishing" and traditional fishing."]]></ABSTRACT>

PTFP supports the planning and construction of public telecommunications facilities in order to: (a) extend delivery of services to as many citizens as possible by the most cost-effective means, including use of broadcast as well as nonbroadcast technologies; (b) increase public telecommunications services and facilities available to, operated by, and controlled by minorities and women; and (c) strengthen the capability of existing public TV and radio stations to provide public telecommunications services to the public. The program awards approximately $13 million in grants annually and operates under rules established in 15 CFR part 2301. FY 1996 funds were appropriated pursuant to the Department of Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 1995, P.L. 104-134.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Streamlining of Commerce Acquisition Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department has reengineered its acquisition processes and is planning to implement the new processes Departmentwide. The Department is also testing the effectiveness of the new processes at two pilot sites within the agency. The intended effect is to create a more customer-friendly acquisition process that is less complex, less time consuming and less expensive for the Department as well as the vendor community, and is more responsive to meeting the Department's program objectives. In order to implement the new processes on a Departmentwide basis a class deviation to the Federal Acquisition Regulations provisions is required. The Department will request public comment on the changes. Commerce Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR 13) will be amended to incorporate the reengineered acquisition processes. A draft of changes to the regulation will be published for public comment prior to issuance of the final regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

The Order charged the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with Secretaries of Housing and Urban Development, Labor and Defense and the Administrators of the General Service Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Small Business Administration, and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, to develop policies and procedures to ensure that Federal agencies, when awarding contracts in unrestricted competitions, grant qualified large and small businesses appropriate price or evaluation incentives to encourage business activity in areas of general economic distress. The Department plans to issue guidelines which will serve as the basis for a proposed revision to the Federal Acquisition Regulation.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule will supplement the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch issued by the Office of Government Ethics. 5 CFR part 2635. ^PThe proposed rule is a necessary supplement to the standards issued by OGE because it addresses ethical issues unique to the Department. The proposed rule establishes regulations which: (1) define "Agency Designee" for purposes of the Standards of Conduct; (2) designate agency components for purposes of the gift and outside employment rules; (3) limit employees from acquiring or retaining conflicting financial interests; (4) provide rules for seeking advice concerning determinations of appearances of impropriety; and (5) establish rules for prior approval regarding outside employment and activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is annual survey of international transactions with unaffiliated foreign persons involving rights to use patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intangible property (BE-93), which will cover transactions beginning in 1997. It is conducted to obtain data that are needed for compiling the balance of payments and national income and product accounts, and will be used in developing U.S. trade policy and supporting U.S. trade policy initiatives. Consideration is being given to expanding coverage to include transactions in copyrights and other intellectual property rights that are related to computer software. At present, such transactions are covered on another BEA survey, which would be revised simultaneously.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This is the annual survey of selected services transactions with unaffiliated foreign persons (BE-22), which will cover transactions beginning in 1997. It is conducted to obtain annual sample data on a variety of business and professional services, such as advertising; computer and data processing services; management, consulting, and public relations; legal services; and telecommunications. The data will be used to produce universe level estimates for 1997 and beyond based on data reported in the proposed 1996 BE-20 benchmark survey of selected services. The data are needed to compile the balance of payments and national income and product accounts, and to support U.S. trade policy. Categories of services covered on the BE-22 survey may be modified to bring them into conformity with the proposed 1996 BE-20 survey.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) implements the priorities and allocations authority of title I of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, and the priorities authority of section 18 of the Selective Service Act of 1948. The DPAS was published as a final rule on July 30, 1984. Based on the findings and recommendations of an interagency sponsored study concerning the controlled materials program, and comments from both defense agency and industry users, this proposed rule would amend the DPAS to remove the controlled materials provisions and make certain revisions to its procedural requirements. These amendments will have no costs associated with them, would reduce the regulatory and information reporting burden on industry and make the DPAS more effective and efficient, would result in cost savings for defense contractors, would update certain other provisions to conform to statutory and jurisdictional changes, and would make the DPAS more compatible with current industry practices.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department proposes to revise the foreign boycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations. The revisions would clarify the application of: (1) the intent provision to the reporting requirement; (2) the jurisdictional requirements relating to the implementation of letters of credit; (3) the furnishing information prohibitions to information about the nationality of directors and about blacklisted persons; (4) the shipping requirement exception to refusals to use blacklisted vessels; and (5) the import and shipping document exception to information about the nationality of carriers and residence of manufacturers or suppliers. The revisions are intended to clarify areas of confusion. In addition, the proposal would remove many references and provisions dealing with effective dates and grace periods that are no longer applicable.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Transfer of Dual-Use Items From U.S. Munitions List to the Commerce Control List</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The former COCOM Industrial List (IL) controls so-called dual-use items, which have both civil and military uses. There is not a direct correspondence between the IL and BXA's Commerce Control List (CCL) because some IL items are controlled by the State Department in the U.S. Munitions List. In his November 15, 1990, memorandum of disapproval of H.R. 4653, the President determined that, "By June 1, 1991, the United States will remove from the U.S. Munitions List all items contained on the COCOM dual-use list unless significant U.S. national security interests would be jeopardized." This rule will implement BXA controls through the CCL on those items removed from the U.S. Munitions List as a result of the President's decision.]]></ABSTRACT>

These changes are among those directed by the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee, a 19-member interagency group chaired by the Secretary of Commerce. Specifically, this rule creates categories of items subject to the EPCI licensing requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States and 27 allied countries are implementing a new regime to succeed the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) which dissolved on March 31, 1994. The new organization, called the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, is expected to implement controls in April 1996. New lists of goods to be controlled have been agreed by the members, who will each have to amend their existing national procedures to harmonize them with the Wassenaar Arrangement. Commerce will need to make extensive changes in the Commerce Control List when the Wassenaar Arrangement dual-use control list becomes effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to the Export Administrative Regulations To Implement the Guidelines and Information Sharing Provisions of the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States and 27 allied countries are implementing a new regime to replace the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) which dissolved on March 31, 1994. The new organization, called The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, is expected to implement controls in April 1996. Procedural guidelines and provisions for sharing information between members will have to be harmonized in members' national regulations. Commerce will need to alter the Export Administration Regulations to reflect the Wassenaar guidelines and information sharing provisions agreed on by the members.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Individual validated licenses are required for the export of all communication intercept devices to all destinations (including Canada). The Export Administration Regulations specify that such exports will only be issued to: (1) a provider of wire or electronic communication service or an officer, agent or employee of or person under contract with such a provider in the normal course of the business of providing that wire or electronic communication service; or (2) officers, agents, or employees of, or person under contract with the United States, one of the 50 States, or a political subdivision thereof, when engaged in the normal course of government activities. Commerce will need to make changes to the Commerce Control List and the Export Administration Regulations to clarify the requirements for issuing export licenses.]]></ABSTRACT>

The new measures support the President's announcement of October 1995 designed to increase support for the Cuban people through a regulation that would permit U.S. persons to export business related equipment to eligible Cuban entities and equipment for the establishment of news bureaus. The action is consistent with the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As a result of Brazil and Ukraine being admitted to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), this rule adds Brazil and Ukraine to Supplement Number 1 to part 740-, Country Group A, Column A:4 (Nuclear Suppliers) and removes Brazil and Ukraine from the Commerce Country Chart, NP Column 1 (Nuclear Nonproliferation). The subscribing governments have agreed to establish export licensing procedures for the transfer of items identified on the Annex to the "Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Equipment, Materials, and Related Technology List," which is published by the International Atomic Energy Agency and adhered to by the United States and other subscribing governments in the Nuclear Suppliers Group. ^PThis action will lessen the administrative burden on U.S. Exporters by decreasing licensing requirements for exports of items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons to Brazil and Ukraine.]]></ABSTRACT>

The interim final rule clarified the language of the EAR and simplified the application and made the export control regulatory regime more user-friendly. BXA now plans to amend the Commerce Control List of the EAR by making certain revisions and clarifications, and in some cases, inserting material inadvertently omitted from the March 25 interim final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions and Clarifications to the Export Administration Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) published an interim final rule on March 25, 1996 (61 FR 12714) that restructures and reorganized the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The interim final rule clarified the language of the EAR and simplified the application and made the export control regulatory regime more user-friendly. BXA will issue a rule to amend the EAR by making certain revisions and clarifications and, in some cases, inserting material inadvertently omitted from the March 25, 1996, interim final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the Export Administration Regulations by imposing enhanced national security and foreign policy controls on certain recoverable encryption to supplement the national security controls on those items. This rule will also amend the FAR to exclude recoverable encryption software from the de minimis provisions for exports from abroad of foreign-origin software incorporating U.S.-origin software. In addition, this rule amends the Commerce Control List by adding ECCNs to control recoverable encryption software transferred from the U.S. Munitions List. ^PThe December 13, 1996, and December 30, 1996, rules were inadvertently published with the RIN (regulatory identifier number) 0648-AB09.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Exports to Iran, Syria and Sudan; Revision of Foreign Policy Control</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Export Administration is amending the Export Administration Regulations by imposing foreign policy controls on exports to Sudan under section 6(a) and by reflecting controls imposed in 1993. Sudan under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA). This provision is consistent with the Secretary of State's determination that the Government of Sudan has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism. The decision to extend foreign policy controls on exports to Sudan under section 6(a) of the EAA was notified to the Congress on January 21, 1996 in the Department of Commerce Annual Foreign Policy Report and incorporated by an interim rule published in the Federal Register on March 25, 1996 (61 FR 12714). ^PIn addition this rule modifies the licensing policy to Syria for items subject to nuclear weapons proliferation controls and eliminates certain general license eligibility provisions for Iran.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Commerce maintains export controls to limit the proliferation of chemical or biological weapons, nuclear weapons or explosive devices, and missile systems. The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) provide that the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) may inform exporters, individually or through amendment to the EAR, that a validated license is required for exports or reexports to certain entities because there exists an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to certain nuclear end-uses, missile end-uses, or chemical or biological weapons end-uses. In addition, BXA may inform U.S. persons that a validated license is required to export or reexport, perform any contract, service, or employment, or otherwise support such end-uses.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is currently on a road to automating all of the services that fall under the "license determination" umbrella. The services that fall under the umbrella of "license determinations" are: classification requests, jurisdiction requests, EXODUS (Custom Department) requests, Export Enforcement Certifications, and Advisory Opinions. The first step has been successfully accomplished; ELAIN has been successfully modified to accept classification requests. Any person or company that has already acquired a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and has been authorized by their company and the Department of Commerce to submit license applications via ELAIN, may immediately start submitting classification requests electronically.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Shotgun licensing and policy requirements will be streamlined to exempt Wassenaar Arrangement member countries. The policy will also be streamlined to exclude certain other countries form licensing requirements by either the type of shotgun or country importation licensing procedures. These changes will reduce the number of license applications by approximately 500 applications per year, and thereby reduce the paperwork burden on U.S. industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Commerce Control List: Export of Mixtures Containing Trace Quantities of Precursor Chemicals</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will amend the Commerce Control List of the Export Administration Regulations to implement a new "trace chemical" exemption under Export Control Classification Number 1C350. No license is required for mixtures that contain no more than 10,000 parts by weight per million, of a precursor or intermediate chemical listed in ECCN 1C350. Such mixtures are controlled under ECCN 1C995. This will eliminate license requirements for many common commercial products while focusing controls on those mixtures that contain significant quantities of precursor chemicals.]]></ABSTRACT>

The incorporation of the Wassenaar Arrangement and the expansion of License Exception CIV to include additional items will reduce paperwork and licensing delays for exporters, and will focus controls on exports that are of direct strategic concern.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to EAR License Exceptions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule revises the Export Administration Regulations by reorganizing those License Exceptions that are referenced on the Commerce Control List such as shipments of limited value (LVS), shipments to group B countries (GBS), civil end-users (CIV), technology and software under restriction (TSR), and computers (CTP). These License Exceptions had been bundled together in a single section, bearing a group symbol to be used for export clearance purposes. This rule splits the list-based License Exceptions into separate sections, each with its own clearance symbol. This rule makes conforming changes throughout the EAR. Finally, this rule makes corrections and clarifications to certain sections of the EAR affected by the changes to the License Exceptions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to EAR As Result of Addition of Republic of South Korea to Australia Group Membership</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations to reflect South Korea's membership in the Australia Group. In addition, this rule makes a clarification to the exemption for sample shipments in ECCN 1C350 and a correction to Supplement No. 1 to part 738 in CB column 3 (Chemical and Biological Weapons), by removing the license from Romania and South Africa that was inadvertently included in previous regulations. ^PThis action will lessen the administrative burden on U.S. exporters by decreasing license application requirements for exports of items controlled for CB reasons to South Korea, Romania, and South Africa.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision to the EAR; Computer Revision</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On March 25, 1996, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) published an interim final rule (61 FR 12714) that restructured and reorganized the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The interim final rule clarified the language of the EAR and simplified the application and made the export control regulatory regime more user-friendly. This rule amends the EAR by making certain revisions and clarifications and in some cases, inserts material inadvertently omitted from the March 25 interim final rule for the export and reexport of computers as described in the Commerce Control List and described by License Exception CTP. Among other revisions, this rule provides that "No License Required" (NLR) applies to the export and reexport of digital computers with a CTP of 2,000 Mtops or less, except to embargoed or terrorist-supporting destinations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Regulatory Programs of the Corps of Engineers</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Corps of Engineers intends to make numerous clarifications to its existing regulations at 33 CFR 320 to 330, to consolidate all permit regulations into one document, and to reorganize 33 CFR 325 for clarity. Since the Corps Regulatory Program final regulations were published in the Federal Register on November 13, 1986 (51 CFR 41206), there has been need to clarify several of those provisions. Since 1986, the Corps has adopted two new appendices at 33 CFR 325, appendices B and C, and the Corps has also adopted revisions to the Nationwide Permit Program (33 CFR 330), Class 1 Administrative Civil Penalties (33 CFR 326), and revisions to the definition of discharge of Dredged Material and Fill Material and prior converted croplands. For clarity, the Corps intends to consolidate all these changes into one document.]]></ABSTRACT>

A decision deadline would also be provided for these circumstances. This process is included in the President's Wetland Protection Plan to make sure that decisions are made without unnecessary delays. This will aid applicants in planning their projects and allows for more realistic expectations of obtaining permit decisions.]]></ABSTRACT>

The PFTH benefit is limited to active duty Uniformed Service member dependents with moderate or severe mental retardation or a serious physical handicap. This proposal does not alter the PFTH benefit or PFTH eligibility requirements, but simply rewrites the applicable provisions to remove redundant material, provide more concise definition of key terms, and establish greater flexibility in the administration of the Program.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule implements provisions of the 1993 National Defense Authorization Act which allows the Secretary of Defense to establish a case management program for CHAMPUS beneficiaries with extraordinary medical or psychological disorders and to allow such beneficiaries medical or psychological services, supplies, or durable medical equipment excluded by law or regulation as a CHAMPUS benefit. Under this program, waiver of benefit limits to the Basic CHAMPUS program may be authorized for beneficiaries when the provision of such services or supplies is cost-effective and clinically appropriate, as compared to historical or projected CHAMPUS/MTF utilization of health care services. It is designed to develop a cost-effective plan of care by targeting appropriate resources to meet the individual needs of the beneficiary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule proposes to clarify the CHAMPUS definition of "experimental" and describes the process that the Office of CHAMPUS follows in determining when an experimental procedure has moved from the status of experimental to the position of nationally accepted medical practice. This clarification is necessary to ensure the CHAMPUS beneficiary and provider population understand the process of the Office of CHAMPUS (OCHAMPUS) follows prior to endorsement by CHAMPUS of a new emerging medical technology, drug, or device for which the safety and efficacy have been proven to be comparable or superior to conventional therapies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Acts for Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996, the Department of Defense is proposing this rule regarding the funding of technical assistance for public participation in the DoD Environmental Restoration Program. Under this program, DoD would obtain via purchase orders, independent scientific and engineering technical assistance for community members of Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs) and Technical Review Committees. In this rule, DoD is proposing for comment the mechanism for providing assistance, criteria for receiving funding, funding limitations and application information. Previously, in 60 FR 27461, May 24, 1995, DoD requested comments from the public on alternative mechanisms for providing this assistance. The option described in this rule is the preferred option based on comments received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>For further information of this action and a related action, see the Department of Defense Regulatory Plan. On October 28, 1996 (61 FR 55567) a CFR correction to 32 CFR part 92 (now part 176) was published. This correction republished the part in its entirety because it had been mistakenly removed from the CFR. On November 5, 1996 (61 FR 56896) the Department of Defense published a final rule to redesignate 32 CFR part 92 as 32 CFR part 176.</ADDITIONAL_INFO>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Defense Logistics Agency proposes to add coverage to 48 CFR chapter 54. The proposed changes affect regulations on Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses. The proposed changes implement and supplement the Federal Acquisition Regulation 49.504(a)(1) which requires the use of FAR Default Clause 52.249-8. The changes are required in order to incorporate three nonstandard clauses in bulk, bunkers, intoplane, and posts, camps, and stations petroleum solicitations and contracts concerning fuel allocations procedures. These fuel allocation clauses permit DFSC contractors to supply less than the full amount of fuel contracted by the Government, without being terminated for default, during periods of exceptional fuel shortages.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoD 3210.6-R)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Defense is taking the next step toward establishing the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations. They are being established to satisfy a need for uniform policies and procedures for DoD Components' award and administration of grants and cooperative agreements. The Department of Defense proposes to add four new parts and to make minor amendments that update two of the four existing parts of the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations. The four proposed new parts: address DoD Components' overall management of grant and agreement functions; set forth DoD Components' and grants officers' responsibilities related to the award and administration of grants and agreements; implement administrative requirements in OMB Circular A-110 for grants and agreements awarded to institutions of higher education and other nonprofit organizations; and establish administrative requirements for awards to commercial organizations. The proposed minor amendments to the two existing parts: provide DoD-specific procedures related to Governmentwide restrictions on lobbying; and update administrative requirements for awards to State and local governments, to conform with recent changes in statutes and statutory implementation.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Acts for 1995 and 1996, the Department has prepared this rule for Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs). DoD has established RABs at over 200 installations and formerly used defense sites which have environmental restoration programs for cleanup of contaminated sites. The purpose of the RAB is to facilitate public participation in restoration activities at operating and closing installations. The proposed rule is based on DoD's current policies for RABs as well as DoD's experience in establishing and operating RABs over the past two years.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Grants and Agreements -- Military Recruiting on Campus</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Final Rule implements section 558 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1995 (PL 103-337 (1994)), as it applies to grants. Section 558 states that funds available to the Department of Defense may not be provided by grant or contract to any institution of higher education that has a policy of denying, or which effectively prevents, the Secretary of Defense from obtaining for military recruiting purposes: entry to campuses; access to students on campuses; or access to directory information pertaining to students. This rule implements the law, as it applies to grants, by requiring inclusion of an appropriate clause in DoD grants with institutions of higher education. It also extends the requirement, as a matter of policy, to DoD cooperative agreements, because they are very similar to grants.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Collection From Third Party Payers of Reasonable Costs of Healthcare Services; Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule establishes a new rule under the Third Party Collection program for determining the reasonable costs of healthcare services provided by facilities of the Uniformed Services in cases in which care is provided under TRICARE Resource Sharing Agreements. For purposes of the Third Party Collection program, such services will be treated the same as other services provided by facilities of the Uniformed Services. This rule also lowers the high cost ancillary threshold value from $60 to $25 for patients that come to the Uniformed Services facility for ancillary services requested by a source other than a Uniformed Services facility provider. The reasonable costs of such services will be accumulated on a daily basis. The Department of Defense is now implementing TRICARE, a major structural reform of the military health care system, featuring adoption of managed care practices in military hospitals and by special civilian contract provider networks. Consistent with TRICARE, as part of the Third Party Collection Program, DoD is transitioning to a billing and collection system in which all costs borne by DoD Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) will be billed by the MTF providing the care. Thus, all care performed within the facility, plus an added amount for supplemental care purchased by the facility, will be billed by the MTF. Conversely, care provided outside the MTF under other arrangements will be billed by the provider of that care.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These general provisions regulations would apply to specified programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994. The regulations would establish uniform provisions under Title XIV of the ESEA for consolidation of State and local administrative funds, maintenance of effort, services to private school children and complaint procedures. The uniform provisions would minimize burdensome differences in implementing provisions in individual programs. The regulations would also include a proposed priority for empowerment zones and enterprise communities. The regulations are being developed in accordance with the Department's Principles for Regulating.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>The State Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These revisions to existing regulations are needed to implement changes made to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 by the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992 and 1993. The changes include significant revisions in definitions, new definitions, new State plan requirements, and new eligibility requirements for services. The regulations would include regulatory provisions previously listed under RIN 1820-AB15. In accordance with the Department's Principles for Regulating, the regulations reduce unnecessary process requirements, give States increased flexibility in administering the program, and eliminate requirements that do not directly contribute to the achievement of the program's objectives.]]></ABSTRACT>

That provision amends the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) to require schools, in certain instances, to make specific educational materials available to parents for inspection. The provision also amends the PPRA to prohibit schools from requiring a student to submit to certain surveys, analyses, or evaluations without prior parental consent.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations reduce regulatory, paperwork, and administrative burden on discretionary grant recipients by giving them more flexibility in planning and implementing program activities. These regulations allow the Secretary to waive the prior written approval requirement for preannual costs and for a one-time extension of a project period for all discretionary grant recipients. The extension, however, must not involve the obligation of additional funds by the Federal government. These regulations also clarify the Department's position about carrying over grant funds to a subsequent budget period and seek to apply the new flexibility to all classes of recipients.]]></ABSTRACT>

This regulatory action would create an extensive menu of criteria that could be used for a variety of the Department's programs, including research, planning, demonstration, training, fellowship, and field-initiated programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

That provision amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to specify certain requirements with regard to the disclosure of information from education records, the right of parents to inspect and review certain records maintained on their children by State educational agencies, and the maintenance and disclosure of disciplinary information found in education records. The provision also removes, in certain law enforcement instances, the requirement that schools notify parents or students before complying with a subpoena or court order. The regulations were developed in accordance with the Department's Principles for Regulating.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 23, 1991, DOE proposed to amend the procedures and principles to be applied in responding to requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 5 USC 552. The proposal updated names and addresses of organizational entities, and updated guidelines for the schedule of fees associated with processing requests. A proposed section on policies clarified DOE's operation of a first-in, first-out policy in responding to FOIA requests, and the role of the Office of Hearings and Appeals was clarified. The proposal also included a statement of DOE policy on contractor records. ^POn December 12, 1994, DOE adopted the contractor records policy, with certain modifications. DOE expects to take final action on the remainder of the proposal in the near future. ^PThe new regulations will clarify the FOIA process by clearly defining the roles of the FOIA Officer and the Denying Official. The new regulations will be written in a more customer-friendly manner in plain English.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Occupational Radiation Protection--Amendment</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[10 CFR part 835 establishes the basic requirements for DOE contractor and subcontractor activities to ensure radiation protection of occupational workers at DOE facilities. See 58 FR 65458 (December 14, 1993). The proposed amendment to part 835 would include items not previously covered such as sealed radioactive source accountability and control, posting of areas where radioactive material is present, and surface contamination values for tritium. Several additional changes are proposed to ensure continuity in DOE's system of radiation protection standards by codifying in part 835 critical provisions of the "DOE Radiological Control Manual" which is no longer a mandatory document. DOE also proposes to exclude explicitly from part 835 radiological transportation conducted in compliance with applicable DOE Orders and certain activities conducted on foreign soil. This rulemaking stems from DOE's ongoing effort to strengthen the protection of health and safety from the nuclear and radiological hazards that may exist at these DOE facilities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These regulations would streamline the existing procedures for applying to the DOE for Presidential permits and electricity export authorizations by eliminating the use of FERC "trial-type" procedures and establishing a less adversarial process of decisionmaking. These regulations may also establish that DOE's decisional criterion is only electric power system reliability and not the economic or commercial viability of projects. ^PThis action is currently being reviewed in light of open access issues in the electric power industry.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Payments for Special Burdens and in Lieu of Taxes</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[To revise the Department of Energy's policy on making payments for special burdens and in lieu of taxes to State and local taxing jurisdictions pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Prior to the 1987 issuance of DOE Order 2100.12, the Department and its predecessor agencies approved such payment requests on an ad hoc basis. To ensure all eligible taxing jurisdictions are provided appropriate opportunity to comment, the revised policy is being established through the rulemaking process. The Department anticipates no added costs by issuing the revised policy as a regulation rather than as an internal directive revision.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Columbia River Treaty requires the United States to return to Canada half of the power benefits produced downstream in the U.S. from the storage operation in Canada. These benefits are generated at both federal and non-federal generation projects. This proposed rule would set the Mid-Columbia owner's share of the return obligation, i.e., the non-federal allocation. The rule would also grant to the Mid-Columbia owners the right to use the improved stream flow that results from the Canadian upstream project.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Equivalent Petroleum-Based Fuel Economy Calculation for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule on the inclusion of electric vehicles in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program was issued by DOE on April 15, 1981. It established a methodology for determining the equivalent petroleum-based fuel economy (PEF) for electric vehicles so that they could be included in a manufacturer's overall CAFE program. This methodology was based on several factors including the energy efficiency of the vehicle, the efficiency of electric generation and transmission, the fuels used to generate electricity, and the driving patterns of electric vehicles. It established a method for determining the PEF of electric vehicles that are recharged from stationary sources only. Hybrid electric vehicles, a type of electric vehicle, are electrically recharged by an on-board mobile generator. This rulemaking would establish a methodology that is necessary for calculating the CAFE credits for electric vehicles that are recharged by mobile sources, and would update the methodology for calculating the CAFE credits for electric vehicles that are recharged by stationary sources. Rulemaking authority for establishing PEF values for electric and hybrid electric vehicles is provided under Public Law 103-272 (49 USC 32904).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Energy Efficiency Code for New Federal Residential Low Rise Buildings</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title III of the Energy Conservation and Production Act as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (PL 102-486, October 24, 1992) provides that DOE establish Federal building energy standards that require in new Federal buildings those energy efficiency measures that are technologically feasible and economically justified. The standards for Federal buildings are intended to parallel closely the voluntary building energy codes of the Energy Policy Act for private sector construction. Interim energy performance standards which DOE had issued before enactment of the Energy Policy Act are to remain in effect for the Federal sector until the new Federal building energy standards become effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These revisions to the test procedures for furnaces and boilers, vented home heating equipment and pool heaters in accordance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended, would incorporate by reference ASHRAE Standard 103-1993 and would include waivers granted to manufacturers. This revision is prompted by the ASHRAE revision of Standard 103-1983 and the need to include waivers granted to manufacturers. DOE reopened the comments period on January 20, 1995, regarding new energy descriptors and a cost factor for the production and use of electricity. Based on the comments received, DOE has decided to eliminate the new energy descriptors and to issue a final rule based on the existing energy descriptor.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Title III of the Energy Conservation and Production Act as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (PL 102-486) provides that DOE establish Federal building energy standards that require in new Federal buildings those energy efficiency measures that are technologically feasible and economically justified. The standards for Federal buildings are intended to parallel closely the voluntary building energy codes of the Energy Policy Act for private sector construction. Interim energy performance standards which DOE had issued before enactment of the Energy Policy Act are to remain in effect for the Federal sector until the new Federal building energy standards become effective.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[These revisions to the test procedures for central air conditioners and heat pumps in accordance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended, will reorganize the document in a logical order and update the references. The revisions include an updated nomenclature compatible with the eventual test procedure for conamed appliances, additional tables listing tests tolerances, a clearer specification for the demand defrost credit, and test methods for ECM blowers and history-dependent defrosts. Due to higher priority rulemakings, the Department does not plan to work on this test procedure until Fiscal Year 1998.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Private/Local Alternative Fuels Fleet Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires DOE to initiate a rulemaking to determine whether a private and local fleet program is deemed necessary to meet the fuel displacement goals in the Act. The criteria for making this determination are mandated by the Act. ^PThe Department has two options under the local and private fleet program: an early rule, which must have been published in the Federal Register by December 15, 1996; and a late rule, which must be proposed by May 1, 1999, and be finalized by January 1, 2000. The early rule is no longer being considered as an option. The Department is planning on entering into discussions with stakeholders as to whether the late rule will be pursued or whether the Department will pursue other voluntary or incentive measures.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will amend the Department's rule governing the use of illegal drugs at DOE sites to ensure that substance abuse programs include provisions that also address misuse and abuse of alcohol. DOE expects to mitigate the potential for harm to the environment and to the public health and safety at DOE sites by contractor employees and other individuals performing health or safety sensitive functions. Cost incurred will affect primarily cost reimbursement type contracts for managing, operating, constructing, and servicing DOE facilities and certain other on-site contractors and subcontractors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Energy (DOE) conducts a Personnel Assurance Program (PAP) under DOE Order 452.2, "Safety of Nuclear Explosive Operations", and 10 CFR part 711, "Personnel Assurance Program." The PAP was created in order to assure the reliability and safety of individuals in certain critical positions and is a part of the DOE nuclear weapons and explosives safety program. To further minimize the potential risks to personnel, public health and safety, and national security, the Department now proposes these procedures and standards for DOE and DOE contractor employees who are assigned nuclear explosives duties at DOE facilities. The PAP is a systematic program, previously established by internal DOE directive, to prevent accidental or unauthorized detonation of nuclear explosives as a result of assignment of nuclear explosive duties to employees who have become emotionally, mentally, or physically incapacitated. The proposed rule includes medical standards for evaluating DOE and contractor employees in the PAP. The DOE employees under the PAP are part of the DOE Drug-Free Workplace Program (DOE 3792.3). The DOE contractors under the PAP are part of the Workplace Substance Abuse Programs at DOE facilities (10 CFR part 707).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[10 CFR part 710, which stipulates DOE access authorization "due process" procedures, will be revised to comply with Section 5.2(a) of EO 12968. This section requires three decision levels in the process of determining whether an individual's access to classified matter will be denied or revoked, with the final decision being made by a three member high level appeal panel. While the DOE decision structure will be revised, the DOE will continue to offer the individual the right to a hearing before a hearing officer in such cases. These revisions are not expected to significantly impact the costs, time intervals, or risks associated with DOE's administrative review process. There are no alternatives to the Department for assuring full compliance with the new requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: Corporate Shield</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This NPRM proposes to require that in addition to reporting the National Practitioner Data Bank medical malpractice payments made where physicians or other health care practitioners are named in judgments or settlements, payments be reported where they are made for the benefit of physicians or other health care practitioners not named in the judgements or settlements but who furnished or failed to furnish the health care services upon which the actions or claims were based. The purpose of this NPRM is to prevent the evasion of the medical malpractice payment reporting requirement of the Data Bank through the agreement of the parties to a lawsuit to use the "corporate shield" to prevent the health care practitioner from being reported. ^PIt would also allow, in very limited circumstances when it is impossible to identify the practitioner who furnished or failed to furnish the health care services upon which the actions or claims were based, to report why the practitioner could not be identified, the name of the hospital or health care organization for whose benefit the payment was made, the amount of payment, and the name (if known) of any hospital or health care organization with which the practitioner is affiliated or associated.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: Charge for Self-Queries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The NPRM proposes to amend the existing regulations for the National Practitioner Data Bank to give the Data Bank the authority to charge a fee to practitioners requesting information about themselves (self-queries). The current $10 cost per self-query is being underwritten by health care provider organizations which query the Data Bank directly and are charged a fee based on the number of transmissions and payment. The NPRM would amend the existing fee structure so that the Data Bank can fully recover its cost, as required by law, in an equitable manner.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Public Law 100-93 amended section 1921 of the Social Security Act to require that each State have in effect a system of reporting disciplinary licensure actions taken against all licensed health care practitioners and entities. It also requires States to report any negative action or finding which a peer review organization, private accrediation entity or a State has concluded against a health care practitioner or entity. Section 1921 directs the Secretary to provide for maximum appropriate coordination in the implementation of these reporting requirements with those of the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (title IV of Public Law 99-660).]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 1138 of the Social Security Act requires Medicare and Medicaid participating hospitals that perform organ transplants to be members of and abide by the rules and requirements of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) as established by section 372 of the Public Health Service Act. Section 1138 also requires that for organ procurement costs attributable to payments to an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) to be paid by Medicare or Medicaid, the OPO must be a member of and abide by the rules and requirements of the OPTN. No other entity (for example, a histocompatibility laboratory) is required to be a member of or abide by the rules of the OPTN under the provisions of the statute. It is the Department's position that no rule, requirement, policy, or other issuance of the OPTN will be considered to be a "rule or requirement" of the Network within the meaning of section 1138 unless the Secretary has formally approved that rule. The OPTN is currently in operation and these rules will impose no further cost.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This Final rule amends the existing regulations governing the HEAL Program to establish standards for lenders and holders as required by the Health Professions Education Extension Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-408). These standards would provide lenders and holders a greater incentive to work to maintain low HEAL default rates and, thus, improve the long-term solvency of the Student Loan Insurance Fund.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Animal Drug Approval Process; Implementation of Title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act (GADPTRA)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1991, the Agency published a proposed revision of the existing regulations that is consistent with the current procedural regulations for human drugs where appropriate. The New Animal Drug Application (NADA) revisions articulate general requirements in regulations containing performance standards and would complement them through detailed guidelines on, among other matters, appropriate ways of meeting requirements for submission of chemistry, pharmacology, and statistical data that would better address the intricate scientific issues involved. A separate proposed rule for reporting requirements for marketed animal drugs also was published on that date. The agency intends to repropose the NADA proposed rule to incorporate some recent changes in procedure. The NADA revisions are expected to include regulations to implement the provisions of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996, specifically the definitions of substantial evidence and flexible labeling, and implement parts of the President's National Performance Report "Reinventing the Regulation of Animal Drugs," May 1996. In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will maintain safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs and enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process which will result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA. The Agency also proposes to amend its regulations to implement title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act, which established new standards for marketing approval of generic copies of animal drugs approved after 1962.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Fees for Certification Services; Insulin and Color Additive Certification Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Insulin Certification Program: ^PIn the Federal Register of October 4, 1991 (56 FR 50248), FDA issued an interim rule effective on November 4, 1991, with opportunity for public comment, revising the fee schedule for insulin certification services. In the Federal Register of November 9, 1995 (60 FR 56515), FDA issued an interim final rule, which was effective December 11, 1995. This interim final rule decreased the fees charged for insulin certification services due to lower program and administrative costs. The public had the opportunity to submit written comments to FDA by February 7, 1996. The FDA expects to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking by August 1997. This will rewrite 21 CFR 429 and make final the interim final rule. ^PColor Certification Program: ^PIn the Federal Register of November 29, 1994, FDA issued an interim rule effective December 29, 1994, which amended the color additive regulations by increasing the fees for certification services. In the Federal Register of February 1, 1996 (61 FR 3571), FDA issued a final rule, effective March 4, 1996, which incorporated comments FDA received from the International Association of Color Manufacturers (IACM) on the interim rule. FDA received an objection from IACM to an annual escalator provision which would have allowed FDA to increase the fees for color certification services by a rate proportional with Federal salary increases. After considering the objection, FDA decided not to implement this provision. The FDA's Office of Financial Management expects to complete a new study of the costs of the color certification program and will adjust the fee accordingly if necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Biological Product Reporting of Errors and Accidents in Manufacturing</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to amend the regulations that require licensed manufacturers of biological products to report errors and accidents in manufacturing that may affect the safety, purity, or potency of a product. FDA proposes to define terms used and establish a reporting period for all licensed manufacturers of biological products; and amend the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for blood and blood components to require error and accident reporting by registered blood establishments and transfusion services currently reporting on a voluntary basis. The proposed reporting requirements will accelerate reporting of errors and accidents in manufacturing of biological products; provide FDA with a more accurate surveillance of the Nation's blood supply enabling FDA to monitor actions taken in response to the errors and accidents detected for all establishments involved in manufacturing of blood and blood components; and facilitate a rapid response where public health may be at risk. The proposed rule would require licensed establishments, unlicensed establishments, and transfusion services to report and keep records. The cost to licensed establishments would be minimal. Since they already are required to report, licensed establishments would only have to make some changes in standard operating procedures. Unlicensed establishments are already required to keep records and conduct investigations. Under the proposed rule they would have to establish reporting procedures and report to FDA. The transfusion services would have to assure that their recordkeeping and investigation procedures are sufficient and establish reporting procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>

The present rule requires an examination by a physician before purchase of a hearing aid, but permits an informed adult to waive that requirement. There is some evidence that this waiver provision is being misused. FDA is considering eliminating the waiver provision and instead requiring a medical evaluation when certain previously undiagnosed medical conditions are found or when the prospective hearing aid user is under 18 years of age. In addition, FDA is considering restricting the dispensing of a hearing aid to patients who have undergone a comprehensive hearing assessment within the past 12 months and an evaluation to select and fit a hearing aid, both of which would be required to be conducted by hearing care professionals licensed by the States as competent to conduct such assessments and evaluations. FDA is also considering revisions to its professional and patient labeling to require updated information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Reinventing FDA Food Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register FDA proposed to coordinate the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA when meat and poultry product uses are petitioned for. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996 FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review its human food labeling regulations pertaining to : (1) the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. ^POn October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule pertaining to food regulations only published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date (CED) on those regulations promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)) pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69) was published on August 27, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Dietary Supplement Regulations in Response to DSHEA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 4, 1994, FDA published final rules relative to nutrition labeling, nutrient content claims and health claims for dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted on October 25, 1994, modifying the provisions for labeling of dietary supplements. FDA has initiated rulemaking to modify its regulations for dietary supplements accordingly. One proposal would modify the nutrition labeling and ingredient declaration requirements. A second proposal would provide for the disclaimer to accompany statements of nutritional support. A third proposal would define the terms "high potency" and "antioxidant." These three proposals were published in the Federal Register on December 28, 1995. An ANPRM was published in February 1997 seeking public comments on issues related to the establishment of current good manufacturing practices for dietary supplements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of the Requirements for a Responsible Head for Biological Establishments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to amend the biologics regulations by deleting the requirements for a "Responsible Head" or "designated responsible person." Since most manufacturers of biological products tend to be larger firms or multiple firms with more than one manufacturing location and complex corporate structures, the agency has determined that it is no longer practical to require one individual to represent a manufacturer in all matters. This revision will provide more flexibility to assign control and oversight responsibility for the manufacture of biological products.]]></ABSTRACT>

In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process, and which would result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA while maintaining safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996 allows the import of FDA regulated products that may not be offered for sale in the United States because they are unapproved or adulterated when the purpose of the importation is to have the articles processed in the United States and then exported. FDA is proposing reporting, recordkeeping, and labeling requirements to enable the importer to assure, and the FDA to monitor, that the imported products are further processed and exported and do not enter domestic commerce.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>New Animal Drug Approval Process</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 17, 1991, the Agency published a proposed revision of the existing regulations that is consistent with the current procedural regulations for human drugs where appropriate. The New Animal Drug Application (NADA) revisions articulate general requirements in regulations containing performance standards and would complement them through detailed guidelines on, among other matters, appropriate ways of meeting requirements for submission of chemistry, pharmacology, and statistical data that would better address the intricate scientific issues involved. A separate proposed rule for reporting requirements for marketed animal drugs also was published on that date. The agency intends to repropose the NADA proposed rule to incorporate some recent changes in procedure. The NADA revisions are expected to include regulations to implement the provisions of the Animal Drug Availability Act of 1996, specifically the definitions of substantial evidence and flexible labeling, and implement parts of the President's National Performance Report "Reinventing the Regulation of Animal Drugs," May 1996. In the reinventing regulations report, FDA proposed to revise its regulations to reflect numerous new process changes and programs that will maintain safety and effectiveness of new animal drugs and enable a more streamlined animal drug application review and approval process which will result in less regulatory burden upon industry and FDA. The Agency also proposes to amend its regulations to implement title I of the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act, which established new standards for marketing approval of generic copies of animal drugs approved after 1962.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Insulin Certification Program: ^PIn the Federal Register of October 4, 1991 (56 FR 50248), FDA issued an interim rule effective on November 4, 1991, with opportunity for public comment, revising the fee schedule for insulin certification services. In the Federal Register of November 9, 1995 (60 FR 56515), FDA issued an interim final rule, which was effective December 11, 1995. This interim final rule decreased the fees charged for insulin certification services due to lower program and administrative costs. The public had the opportunity to submit written comments to FDA by February 7, 1996. The FDA expects to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking by August 1997. This will rewrite 21 CFR 429 and make final the interim final rule. ^PColor Certification Program: ^PIn the Federal Register of November 29, 1994, FDA issued an interim rule effective December 29, 1994, which amended the color additive regulations by increasing the fees for certification services. In the Federal Register of February 1, 1996 (61 FR 3571), FDA issued a final rule, effective March 4, 1996, which incorporated comments FDA received from the International Association of Color Manufacturers (IACM) on the interim rule. FDA received an objection from IACM to an annual escalator provision which would have allowed FDA to increase the fees for color certification services by a rate proportional with Federal salary increases. After considering the objection, FDA decided not to implement this provision. The FDA's Office of Financial Management expects to complete a new study of the costs of the color certification program and will adjust the fee accordingly if necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register FDA proposed to coordinate the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA when meat and poultry product uses are petitioned for. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996 FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review its human food labeling regulations pertaining to : (1) the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. ^POn October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule pertaining to food regulations only published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date (CED) on those regulations promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)) pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69) was published on August 27, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Lower Fat Milk Standards</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register FDA proposed to coordinate the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA when meat and poultry product uses are petitioned for. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996 FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review its human food labeling regulations pertaining to : (1) the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. ^POn October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule pertaining to food regulations only published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date (CED) on those regulations promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)) pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69) was published on August 27, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food and Color Additive Regulations; Plan for Revisions</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register FDA proposed to coordinate the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA when meat and poultry product uses are petitioned for. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996 FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review its human food labeling regulations pertaining to : (1) the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. ^POn October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule pertaining to food regulations only published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date (CED) on those regulations promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)) pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69) was published on August 27, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Certain Food Labeling and Cosmetic Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register FDA proposed to coordinate the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA when meat and poultry product uses are petitioned for. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996 FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review its human food labeling regulations pertaining to : (1) the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. ^POn October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule pertaining to food regulations only published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date (CED) on those regulations promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)) pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69) was published on August 27, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 4, 1994, FDA published final rules relative to nutrition labeling, nutrient content claims and health claims for dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted on October 25, 1994, modifying the provisions for labeling of dietary supplements. FDA has initiated rulemaking to modify its regulations for dietary supplements accordingly. One proposal would modify the nutrition labeling and ingredient declaration requirements. A second proposal would provide for the disclaimer to accompany statements of nutritional support. A third proposal would define the terms "high potency" and "antioxidant." These three proposals were published in the Federal Register on December 28, 1995.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 4, 1994, FDA published final rules relative to nutrition labeling, nutrient content claims and health claims for dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was enacted on October 25, 1994, modifying the provisions for labeling of dietary supplements. FDA has initiated rulemaking to modify its regulations for dietary supplements accordingly. One proposal would modify the nutrition labeling and ingredient declaration requirements. A second proposal would provide for the disclaimer to accompany statements of nutritional support. A third proposal would define the terms "high potency" and "antioxidant." These three proposals were published in the Federal Register on December 28, 1995. An ANPRM was published in February 1997 seeking public comments on issues related to the establishment of current good manufacturing practices for dietary supplements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products. ^PSMALL ENTITIES AFFECTED: The effects, if any, vary depending on the individual rulemaking. However, the Agency anticipates that the rules would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 (PDMA) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to: (1) require State licensing of wholesale distributors of prescription human drugs under Federal guidelines including minimum standards for storage, handling, and recordkeeping; (2) ban the reimportation of prescription human drugs produced in the United States, except when reimported by the manufacturer or for emergency use; 3) ban the sale, trade, or purchase of drug samples; (4) ban trafficking in or counterfeiting of drug coupons; (5) mandate storage, handling, and recordkeeping requirements for drug samples; (6) require licensed practitioners to request drug samples in writing; (7) prohibit, with certain exceptions, the resale of prescription human drugs purchased by hospitals or health care facilities; and (8) set forth criminal and civil penalties for violations of these provisions. In the Federal Register of September 14, 1990 (55 FR 38012), FDA issued a final rule setting forth Federal guidelines for State licensing of wholesale drug distributors. The final rule would provide information, guidance, and clarification of those sections of PDMA that are not related to State licensing of wholesale distributors.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 (MQSA), enacted October 27, 1992, is to assure quality in all aspects of the practice of mammography. The primary mechanism for this is oversight of all mammography facilities through a certification and inspection program. Only facilities certified by the Secretary are permitted to produce, process, or interpret mammographic images. The statute also required the establishment of an advisory committee to advise on appropriate quality standards and also provided for the establishment of surveillance systems to evaluate breast cancer screening programs. ^PThe agency published interim regulations on December 21, 1993, which were drafted and implemented so as to maximize lawful operation by facilities under existing quality standards, and to ensure adequate examinee access to quality mammography during the transition to more comprehensive national standards. ^PConcurrent with the implementation of the interim rules, FDA proceeded with the development of proposed regulations to replace the interim rules. The agency recently issued proposed rules, with the advice and consultation of the National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee, on requirements for accreditation bodies, equipment and quality assurance requirements, facility requirements, and personnel requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Nearly 50,000 women die each year from breast cancer. While much research into causes and treatments still needs to be done, we do know that, for women over 50, mortality for lesions found by mammography is 30 percent less than for larger lesions identified by physical examination. Unfortunately, not all mammography facilities have offered services commensurate with the value of mammography in the abstract. The Congress enacted the MQSA to ensure quality mammography services for all women. ^PThe primary mechanism established by the MQSA to ensure quality in mammography is oversight of all mammography facilities through a certification and inspection program. Only facilities certified by the Secretary will be permitted to produce, process, or interpret mammographic images. The statute also requires the establishment of a committee of experts to offer advice about regulatory quality standards and also provides for the establishment of surveillance systems to evaluate breast cancer screening programs. ^PThe implementation of these regulations will help ensure that mammograms are properly administered and interpreted to provide adequate protection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer among women. FDA has worked with the Health Care Financing Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and State and local radiation control officials to coordinate mammography quality assurance activities and the development of policies and regulations for implementation of the MQSA, and will continue to coordinate its efforts with these agencies as appropriate.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The MQSA established a comprehensive statutory scheme for the certification and inspection of mammography facilities to ensure that, after October 1, 1994, only those facilities that comply with minimum Federal standards for safe, high-quality mammography services may lawfully continue to operate. Operation after that date is contingent on receipt of an FDA certificate attesting that the facility meets the minimum mammography quality standards promulgated under section 354(f) of the Public Health Service Act. The standards are intended to apply equally to screening and diagnostic mammography. The MQSA required: (a) accreditation of mammography facilities by private, nonprofit organizations or State agencies meeting FDA established standards; (b) annual physics surveys of mammography facilities; (c) annual inspections of mammography facilities; (d) qualification standards for interpreting physicians, radiologic technologists, medical physicists, and mammography facility inspectors; (e) specification by FDA of boards or organizations eligible to certify mammography personnel; (f) quality standards for mammography equipment and practices, including quality assurance; (g) establishment of the National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee; and (h) standards governing recordkeeping for examinee files and requirements for mammography reporting and examinee notification by physicians.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute is prescriptive and does not allow for a substantially different regulatory approach than is being taken by FDA. It allows for discretion in the details of individual standards, and FDA has sought to avoid unnecessary burden in devising these standards. In order to reduce the burden of complying with the MQSA regulations on mammography facilities, FDA incorporated existing standards to the maximum extent possible; issued Federal certificates, which are required for facilities to legally operate after October 1, 1994, to facilities already accredited by the American College of Radiology; required facilities to submit information for certification only to the accrediting body--not to FDA; and allowed flexibility to accrediting bodies in developing their standards by requiring that accrediting body standards be "substantially the same as" FDA's standards, rather than identical.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Yearly costs to mammography facilities, over a 10-year period, were estimated to range from a high of approximately $203.2 million to $25.2 million. Yearly costs differed due to the phased implementation dates for some proposed requirements. Overall, average annualized costs of the proposals are preliminarily estimated at $61.4 million. ^PThere are many benefits associated with these proposed rules. High-quality mammography could significantly reduce breast cancer mortality. Early detection could reduce the morbidity associated with treating later-stage disease. There may be a reduction in the number of malpractice claims filed for failure to diagnose early breast cancer. In addition, because of improved mammography quality, the agency expects a reduction in the number of follow-up procedures in nondiseased patients, resulting in a reduction of annual medical costs. By themselves, the health care cost savings are expected to substantially exceed the expected average annualized costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The motivation for the MQSA was public response to concerns about breast cancer and to concerns about the quality of mammography services relied on for early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most prevalent nonskin cancer among women (and the second most deadly) with over 175,000 new cases and 45,000 breast cancer-related deaths occurring annually. The disease is most treatable in the early stages. Missed diagnosis of early lesions due to factors such as poor image quality or incorrect interpretation of images could result in delayed treatment, leading to otherwise avoidable increases in mortality or more complex and costly remediations.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On November 1, 1990 (55 FR 46134), the Agency proposed to amend its regulations governing the content and format of labeling for human prescription drug products to require a subsection in the labeling that would include information on the use of a drug in the elderly. This reflects growing recognition by FDA and others of the special concerns associated with prescription drug use in this age group. FDA believes that providing access to this information is important for the safe and effective use of prescription drugs in older populations. The final rule will codify these proposed revisions based on the comments received.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On January 18, 1994 (59 FR 2542), the Agency proposed to amend its tamper-resistant packaging regulations to require that all over-the-counter (OTC) human drug products marketed in two-piece, hard gelatin capsules be sealed. The proposal also solicited public comments on whether additional regulatory changes, such as packaging performance standards, may be necessary. FDA has required tamper-resistant packaging features for OTC drug products since 1982. The tamper-resistant packaging regulations were revised in 1989 in response to continuing tampering incidents. Despite the regulatory protection provided by the regulations, two-piece, hard gelatin capsules remain vulnerable to malicious tampering and were implicated in tampering incidents in 1991. This regulatory action is in response to the 1991 tampering incidents.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule will amend the adverse experience reporting regulations for human drug products and licensed biological products to make the requirements consistent with a new unified form (FDA Form 3500A) and require the use of this new reporting form. The new form was announced as part of FDA's MedWatch program. The final rule will also revise certain definitions and reporting periods and formats as recommended by the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and the World Health Organization's Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS). In addition, the rule will amend the regulations governing the safety reporting of data from clinical studies.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final regulation would address the problem of certain financial arrangements and interests of clinical investigators that have the potential to bias the outcome of clinical trials. The problem is significant because clinical research data provide the basis for FDA's evaluation of drugs, biologics and devices for marketing. The regulation would require the sponsor of a product that is the subject of a marketing application to submit either a statement certifying that a clinical investigator who participates in a covered study is not a party to any certain financial interests and arrangements that could potentially bias the outcome of the study, or disclose such interests and arrangements if they exist. This information will enable FDA to subject clinical research data to an appropriate level of scrutiny and help assure its reliability. Alternatives to the regulation would be to prohibit investigators from holding certain financial interests altogether or to require divestiture by the investigator of a prohibited interest. The estimated costs to industry associated with preparation, submission, and retention of the information required by this final rule are well below the $100 million threshold that defines a significant regulatory action. The final rule is not expected to impose a significant resource burden on FDA because the submission of statements is limited to clinical data submitted in support of marketing applications, ruling out data from the large number of studies that do not lead to applications, and FDA estimates that sponsors will be able to certify for the majority of their clinical investigators, so that most submitted data will not require intensified scrutiny. The final rule will strengthen the FDA review process.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Prescription Drug Product Labeling; Medication Guide</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In August, 1995 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a proposed rule that specified standards for the distribution and quality of useful prescription medication information, designed for patients, that voluntary, private-sector efforts should supply to patients receiving new prescriptions. On August 6, 1996, section 601 of the Agriculture Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997 was enacted which places the proposed rule as it relates to a voluntary program in abeyance. The legislation did not address the provisions that would have required mandatory Medication Guides in relatively rare instances where a product poses a serious and significant public health concern requiring immediate distribution of FDA-approved patient information. FDA is currently considering its options concerning whether and how to finalize the requirement for mandatory Medication Guides for these products.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Changes to an Approved Application</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule to revise 21 CFR 601.12, which deals with changes in the production of licensed biological products--for example, product, labeling, production process, equipment, facilities, and responsible personnel. FDA is also amending the corresponding drug regulations for specified biotechnology products reviewed in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) to harmonize the drug and biologic regulations. Currently, licenseholders must obtain FDA preapproval of all such changes through supplements to approved applications. In the final rule, FDA sets forth a process that is intended to reduce the burden on licenseholders by reducing the number of supplements submitted for changes and to result in more timely approval of changes in their products. The new process creates different mechanisms for reporting changes, based on their potential to affect adversely the safety, purity, potency, or effectiveness of the product.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The present system has been shown to be burdensome to both licenseholders and to FDA in that licenseholders must submit supplements for every proposed change, and FDA must review them. The present system is also time-consuming--manufacturers may wait from 6 to 12 months for approval of supplements--and unnecessarily rigid. FDA estimates that the final rule would reduce by 50 percent--from 1,000 to 500--the number of supplements submitted annually for biologics and reviewed by FDA, allowing for more expeditious agency review of supplements that are submitted.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Public Health Service Act (42 USC 216 et seq.) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 321 et seq.) authorize FDA to regulate the distribution of biological products so that the products are safe, pure, potent, and effective. These acts authorize FDA to promulgate regulations designed to ensure that the public is not exposed to biological products that may not be safe, pure, or potent for their intended uses. In order to carry out the public health protection purposes of the acts, FDA (a) reviews and approves applications for licenses to manufacture biological products; (b) inspects establishments involved in manufacturing activities; and (c) reviews and approves important changes that have the potential to adversely affect the biological product.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[FDA considered two alternatives. The first alternative was allowing license holders to submit summary data and a certification of validation and lack of adverse effect on the product's safety, purity, potency, or efficacy. FDA believes this alternative is appropriate for some changes, but not adequate or sufficient for changes with substantial potential to have an adverse effect. ^PThe second alternative would have required license holders to keep validation data and certification of lack of adverse effect, and allowed them to report changes to FDA in an annual report. FDA believes this alternative is appropriate for changes that have only a minimal potential for adverse effect on the product. It is incorporated into the final rule.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[In general, the final rule is expected to reduce significantly the burden of preparing supplements for proposed changes by eliminating this requirement for a number of changes. The final rule will accordingly reduce the number of supplements requiring FDA review and allow for more expeditious handling of supplements that are submitted. Licenseholders are expected to incur no additional costs as a result of the proposal; on the other hand it will allow for more timely implementation of changes by licenseholders--for example, streamlining and updating manufacturing facilities.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[FDA believes the risks posed by the new reporting system are minimal. In addition to stating in the revision which changes are considered to have substantial, moderate, and minimal potential for adverse effects, FDA will provide thorough supplementary guidance to manufacturers to help assure adequate assessment of the potential for adverse effects.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Export Requirements for Medical Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Prior to the enactment of the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed to amend its regulations for investigational devices to describe streamlined requirements for exports of unapproved medical devices. Under the proposed rule, an approved investigational device exemption (IDE) would constitute an agency determination that the export of the unapproved device is not contrary to the public health or safety. Countries could notify FDA that they do not object to the importation of unapproved devices with an approved IDE into their countries. Thus, for devices with an FDA-approved IDE, the proposal would eliminate the need for FDA to make independent determinations either that exportation is not contrary to the public health or safety or that an importing country does not object to the importation of a specific device. The proposed rule was intended to codify and to simplify export requirements for certain unapproved devices pursuant to the President's and Vice-President's "National Performance Review," as reflected in the April 1995 report titled, "Reinventing Drug & Medical Device Regulations." The proposed rule is consistent with the Export Reform and Enhancement Act. FDA reopened the comment period to seek comments on whether the rulemaking is still needed in view of the changes to the export provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

The rule will increase the efficiency of FDA's implementation of NEPA and reduce the regulatory burden by providing for categorical exclusions for additional classes of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and for which neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment is required. The rule will also amend the regulations to make the agency's NEPA procedures more concise and understandable to the public, and to reflect current FDA policy with respect to environmental considerations.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Protein Derived From Ruminants Prohibited in Ruminant Feed</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is proposing rules providing that animal protein derived from ruminant and mink tissues are not generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in ruminant feed and is a food additive subject to section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Therefore, in the absence of a food additive regulation or exemption, protein derived from ruminants and mink are prohibited from use in ruminant feed. The proposed rule would establish a flexible system of controls to ensure that ruminant feed does not contain animal protein derived from ruminant and mink tissues in a manner that is cost effective and encourages innovation. While BSE has not been diagnosed in the United States, this rule is intended to prevent the development and amplification of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, to protect the health of animals, and to minimize any risk which might be posed to humans.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing this action to protect the health of animals and to minimize any risk which might be posed to humans, through the transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). While BSE has not been diagnosed in the United States, this rule is intended to prevent the development and amplification of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle in the United States. Ruminant and mink tissues present a risk of transmitting spongiform encephalopathies. These tissues have been found through experimental trials and bioassays to transmit spongiform encephalopathies. Epidemiological evidence gathered in the United Kingdom (UK) suggests an association between an outbreak of BSE, a ruminant TSE, and the feeding to cattle of protein derived from sheep infected with scrapie, another TSE. The causative agent was further spread in the UK cattle population as a result of feeding rendered products to cattle. In addition, scientists have postulated an epidemiological association between BSE and a variant form of human TSE, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (v-CJD) reported recently in England. FDA is not aware of a practical assay for the presence of ruminant protein in rendered products. Nor is FDA aware of a reliable deactivation procedure in the rendering process which is used to produce the proteins.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[A substance used in food (including animal feed) that is not generally recognized as safe is a "food additive" under section 201(s) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. A food additive is unsafe under section 409 of the Act unless a food additive regulation or an exemption is in effect for the substance. An unsafe food additive is adulterated under section 402(a)(2)(C) of the Act. Section 701(a) of the Act provides authority to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the Act, including regulations that determine substances to be food additives.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The agency considered a number of alternatives regarding the feeding of animal protein to ruminants; including a prohibition of feeding protein derived from adult sheep and goats, restricting the prohibition only to ruminant tissues that had been demonstrated to be potentially TSE infective, and a prohibition of feeding of protein derived from mammalians. In addition the agency considered not taking any action regarding the feeding on animal proteins. The grave potential consequences of exposure to TSE and the apparent small intake of the agent needed to achieve infection in small animals encourage a conservative regulatory policy.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The affected industry sectors are predicted to incur total direct compliance costs ranging from $21.4 to $48.2 million per year. The benefits of prohibiting ruminant proteins in ruminant feeds are the reduced risks to animal and human health and to the economic health of the U.S. livestock and livestock dependent industries. For analytical purposes, these benefits can be expressed as the expected value of the future disease related costs that would be averted by the present implementation of the proposed rule. The realized benefits depend primarily on two factors: 1) the risk that BSE will occur in the U.S. (or currently exists undetected), and 2) the incidence rate of BSE once it becomes established. The proposed measure is aimed both at reducing the first risk, and at eliminating the second if the first should occur. Risks are inherently lower in the United States. Similar measures in the U.S., if they occurred immediately upon detection of the disease, would result in the one-time destruction of $4.58 billion worth of cattle, with a present value of $3.49 billion.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Based on the scientific information that is available at the present time, the primary health concern related to animal feed is the possibility of transmission of TSE infectively from BSE-infected bovines, with the risk of that threat increasing through the recycling of ruminant tissues. Furthermore, there exists the theoretical possibility of the transmission of a TSE in animals to a TSE in humans. The possibility of other TSE transmissions between species, in addition to the postulated transmission of a sheep TSE (scrapie) to cattle, supports the agency's concern about TSE transmission and infectivity both in animals and humans. The typically long incubation period and the potentially devastating effect that a BSE outbreak would have on animal health and U.S. agribusiness, support a conservative regulatory approach aimed at prevention. While no BSE has been diagnosed in the United States, and the current level of exposure to products derived from animals with a TSE is extremely low or absent, the potential consequences of such exposure and the apparent small intake of the agent needed to achieve infection in some animals further encourage a conservative regulatory policy.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Disqualification of a Clinical Investigator</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 312.70 authorizes the agency to disqualify a clinical investigator "who submits to the sponsor false information in any required report"(21 CFR 312.70(a)). A sponsor-investigator both conducts the clinical trial and reports its data directly to the agency. Because a sponsor-investigator does not "submit information to the sponsor," a literal interpretation of section 312.70 may not authorize the agency to disqualify a sponsor-investigator from submitting false information. The final rule will clarify the agency's authority to disqualify both clinical investigators and sponsor-investigators for submitting to the agency false information.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." "Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac Prevention" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products. ^PSMALL ENTITIES AFFECTED: The effects, if any, vary depending on the individual rulemaking. However, the Agency anticipates that the rules would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The OTC drug review establishes conditions under which OTC drugs are considered generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products."

NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products."

After a final monograph (i.e., final rule) is issued, only OTC drugs meeting the conditions of the monograph, or having an approved new drug application, may be legally marketed. NOTE: NPRM for "Antidotes, Toxic Ingestion Products" was combined with NPRM for "Emetic Products" and reproposed as "Poison Treatment Products." NPRM for "Astringent (Wet Dressings) Products" was included in the NPRM for "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Diaper Rash Products" was included in NPRMs for "Antifungal," "Antimicrobial," "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Fever Blister/Cold Sore Products (External)" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products." NPRM for "Insect Bites and Stings (Relief) Products" was included in NPRMs for "External Analgesic" and "Skin Protectant Products."

NPRM for "Mercurial (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." NPRM for "Alcohol (Topical) Products" was included in revised NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products." The NPRM for "Antimicrobial Products" was updated and split into two sections: First Aid Products and Health Care Antiseptic Products. ^PSMALL ENTITIES AFFECTED: The effects, if any, vary depending on the individual rulemaking.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), enacted November 28, 1990, was intended to assure that marketed devices are safe and effective, that FDA learns quickly of device problems, and that FDA has authority to remove defective devices from the market. The act directs or authorizes FDA to develop these regulations: Medical Device Reporting--These rules require healthcare facilities and distributors to report deaths and serious injuries/illnesses related to medical devices. Medical Device Tracking--This regulation requires manufacturers to track certain devices to the user. Classification of Transitional Devices--FDA issued a notice to require submission of adverse safety and effectiveness data on transitional devices. FDA will now propose to keep each transitional device in class III, or reclassify it in class I or II. Good Manufacturing Practices for Medical Devices--FDA has added preproduction design validation to the CGMP regulations. Exemption of Humanitarian Devices--The final rule establishes procedures for applications for certain premarket review exemptions for humanitarian devices. --Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness for Premarket Notification--The final rule sets forth information to be included in summaries substantial equivalence determinations. Recall of Medical Devices--A proposed rule sets forth procedures for using authority to order device recalls and notifications. Reports of Removal and Corrections--FDA proposed procedures for manufacturers to report to FDA health-related market removals and corrections of devices. Civil Money Penalties--A final rule established procedures for a hearing to which persons are entitled before the imposition of civil money penalties. Procedural Changes in Medical Device Regulations--This final rule revised existing regulations to conform with procedural changes mandated by the SMDA. Premarket Review of Combination Products--FDA published a final rule establishing procedures for determining which FDA center will review premarket approval applications for products that are a combination of a device and a drug or biologic.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Nearly 50,000 women die each year from breast cancer. While much research into causes and treatments still needs to be done, we do know that, for women over 50, mortality for lesions found by mammography is 30 percent less than for larger lesions identified by physical examination. Unfortunately, not all mammography facilities have offered services commensurate with the value of mammography in the abstract. The Congress enacted the MQSA to ensure quality mammography services for all women. ^PThe primary mechanism established by the MQSA to ensure quality in mammography is oversight of all mammography facilities through a certification and inspection program. Only facilities certified by the Secretary will be permitted to produce, process, or interpret mammographic images. The statute also requires the establishment of a committee of experts to offer advice about regulatory quality standards and also provides for the establishment of surveillance systems to evaluate breast cancer screening programs. ^PThe implementation of these regulations will help ensure that mammograms are properly administered and interpreted to provide adequate protection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer among women. FDA has worked with the Health Care Financing Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and State and local radiation control officials to coordinate mammography quality assurance activities and the development of policies and regulations for implementation of the MQSA, and will continue to coordinate its efforts with these agencies as appropriate.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The MQSA established a comprehensive statutory scheme for the certification and inspection of mammography facilities to ensure that, after October 1, 1994, only those facilities that comply with minimum Federal standards for safe, high-quality mammography services may lawfully continue to operate. Operation after that date is contingent on receipt of an FDA certificate attesting that the facility meets the minimum mammography quality standards promulgated under section 354(f) of the Public Health Service Act. The standards are intended to apply equally to screening and diagnostic mammography. The MQSA required: (a) accreditation of mammography facilities by private, nonprofit organizations or State agencies meeting FDA established standards; (b) annual physics surveys of mammography facilities; (c) annual inspections of mammography facilities; (d) qualification standards for interpreting physicians, radiologic technologists, medical physicists, and mammography facility inspectors; (e) specification by FDA of boards or organizations eligible to certify mammography personnel; (f) quality standards for mammography equipment and practices, including quality assurance; (g) establishment of the National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee; and (h) standards governing recordkeeping for examinee files and requirements for mammography reporting and examinee notification by physicians.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute is prescriptive and does not allow for a substantially different regulatory approach than is being taken by FDA. It allows for discretion in the details of individual standards, and FDA has sought to avoid unnecessary burden in devising these standards. In order to reduce the burden of complying with the MQSA regulations on mammography facilities, FDA incorporated existing standards to the maximum extent possible; issued Federal certificates, which are required for facilities to legally operate after October 1, 1994, to facilities already accredited by the American College of Radiology; required facilities to submit information for certification only to the accrediting body--not to FDA; and allowed flexibility to accrediting bodies in developing their standards by requiring that accrediting body standards be "substantially the same as" FDA's standards, rather than identical.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Yearly costs to mammography facilities, over a 10-year period, were estimated to range from a high of approximately $203.2 million to $25.2 million. Yearly costs differed due to the phased implementation dates for some proposed requirements. Overall, average annualized costs of the proposals are preliminarily estimated at $61.4 million. ^PThere are many benefits associated with these proposed rules. High-quality mammography could significantly reduce breast cancer mortality. Early detection could reduce the morbidity associated with treating later-stage disease. There may be a reduction in the number of malpractice claims filed for failure to diagnose early breast cancer. In addition, because of improved mammography quality, the agency expects a reduction in the number of follow-up procedures in nondiseased patients, resulting in a reduction of annual medical costs. By themselves, the health care cost savings are expected to substantially exceed the expected average annualized costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The motivation for the MQSA was public response to concerns about breast cancer and to concerns about the quality of mammography services relied on for early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most prevalent nonskin cancer among women (and the second most deadly) with over 175,000 new cases and 45,000 breast cancer-related deaths occurring annually. The disease is most treatable in the early stages. Missed diagnosis of early lesions due to factors such as poor image quality or incorrect interpretation of images could result in delayed treatment, leading to otherwise avoidable increases in mortality or more complex and costly remediations.]]></RISKS>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Nearly 50,000 women die each year from breast cancer. While much research into causes and treatments still needs to be done, we do know that, for women over 50, mortality for lesions found by mammography is 30 percent less than for larger lesions identified by physical examination. Unfortunately, not all mammography facilities have offered services commensurate with the value of mammography in the abstract. The Congress enacted the MQSA to ensure quality mammography services for all women. ^PThe primary mechanism established by the MQSA to ensure quality in mammography is oversight of all mammography facilities through a certification and inspection program. Only facilities certified by the Secretary will be permitted to produce, process, or interpret mammographic images. The statute also requires the establishment of a committee of experts to offer advice about regulatory quality standards and also provides for the establishment of surveillance systems to evaluate breast cancer screening programs. ^PThe implementation of these regulations will help ensure that mammograms are properly administered and interpreted to provide adequate protection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer among women. FDA has worked with the Health Care Financing Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and State and local radiation control officials to coordinate mammography quality assurance activities and the development of policies and regulations for implementation of the MQSA, and will continue to coordinate its efforts with these agencies as appropriate.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The MQSA established a comprehensive statutory scheme for the certification and inspection of mammography facilities to ensure that, after October 1, 1994, only those facilities that comply with minimum Federal standards for safe, high-quality mammography services may lawfully continue to operate. Operation after that date is contingent on receipt of an FDA certificate attesting that the facility meets the minimum mammography quality standards promulgated under section 354(f) of the Public Health Service Act. The standards are intended to apply equally to screening and diagnostic mammography. The MQSA required: (a) accreditation of mammography facilities by private, nonprofit organizations or State agencies meeting FDA established standards; (b) annual physics surveys of mammography facilities; (c) annual inspections of mammography facilities; (d) qualification standards for interpreting physicians, radiologic technologists, medical physicists, and mammography facility inspectors; (e) specification by FDA of boards or organizations eligible to certify mammography personnel; (f) quality standards for mammography equipment and practices, including quality assurance; (g) establishment of the National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee; and (h) standards governing recordkeeping for examinee files and requirements for mammography reporting and examinee notification by physicians.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[The statute is prescriptive and does not allow for a substantially different regulatory approach than is being taken by FDA. It allows for discretion in the details of individual standards, and FDA has sought to avoid unnecessary burden in devising these standards. In order to reduce the burden of complying with the MQSA regulations on mammography facilities, FDA incorporated existing standards to the maximum extent possible; issued Federal certificates, which are required for facilities to legally operate after October 1, 1994, to facilities already accredited by the American College of Radiology; required facilities to submit information for certification only to the accrediting body--not to FDA; and allowed flexibility to accrediting bodies in developing their standards by requiring that accrediting body standards be "substantially the same as" FDA's standards, rather than identical.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Yearly costs to mammography facilities, over a 10-year period, were estimated to range from a high of approximately $203.2 million to $25.2 million. Yearly costs differed due to the phased implementation dates for some proposed requirements. Overall, average annualized costs of the proposals are preliminarily estimated at $61.4 million. ^PThere are many benefits associated with these proposed rules. High-quality mammography could significantly reduce breast cancer mortality. Early detection could reduce the morbidity associated with treating later-stage disease. There may be a reduction in the number of malpractice claims filed for failure to diagnose early breast cancer. In addition, because of improved mammography quality, the agency expects a reduction in the number of follow-up procedures in nondiseased patients, resulting in a reduction of annual medical costs. By themselves, the health care cost savings are expected to substantially exceed the expected average annualized costs.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The motivation for the MQSA was public response to concerns about breast cancer and to concerns about the quality of mammography services relied on for early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most prevalent nonskin cancer among women (and the second most deadly) with over 175,000 new cases and 45,000 breast cancer-related deaths occurring annually. The disease is most treatable in the early stages. Missed diagnosis of early lesions due to factors such as poor image quality or incorrect interpretation of images could result in delayed treatment, leading to otherwise avoidable increases in mortality or more complex and costly remediations.]]></RISKS>

While much research into causes and treatments still needs to be done, we do know that, for women over 50, mortality for lesions found by mammography is 30 percent less than for larger lesions identified by physical examination. Unfortunately, not all mammography facilities have offered services commensurate with the value of mammography in the abstract.

The statute also requires the establishment of a committee of experts to offer advice about regulatory quality standards and also provides for the establishment of surveillance systems to evaluate breast cancer screening programs. ^PThe implementation of these regulations will help ensure that mammograms are properly administered and interpreted to provide adequate protection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer among women.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The purpose of the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 (MQSA), enacted October 27, 1992, is to assure quality in all aspects of the practice of mammography. The primary mechanism for this is oversight of all mammography facilities through a certification and inspection program. Only facilities certified by the Secretary are permitted to produce, process, or interpret mammographic images. The statute also required the establishment of an advisory committee to advise on appropriate quality standards and also provided for the establishment of surveillance systems to evaluate breast cancer screening programs. ^PThe agency published interim regulations on December 21, 1993, which were drafted and implemented so as to maximize lawful operation by facilities under existing quality standards, and to ensure adequate examinee access to quality mammography during the transition to more comprehensive national standards. ^PConcurrent with the implementation of the interim rules, FDA proceeded with the development of proposed regulations to replace the interim rules. The agency recently issued proposed rules, with the advice and consultation of the National Mammography Quality Assurance Advisory Committee, on requirements for accreditation bodies, equipment and quality assurance requirements, facility requirements, and personnel requirements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Food Labeling Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) requires that most foods bear nutrition labeling. The agency issued final rules implementing most of the provisions contained in the NLEA on January 6, 1993. Subsequently, however, the agency has identified additional areas that should be the subject of rulemaking. FDA issued a proposal on January 6, 1993, to establish requirements for the identification of certain ingredients on food labels. FDA proposed on June 15, 1993, to amend its January 6, 1993, final rules on nutrient content and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA also proposed to modify the provisions that delay the effective date of these regulations for small restaurant firms for one year. The agency proposed January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal describing the provisions for exemptions for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993. On August 18, 1993, FDA published a proposal concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel on food labels. Finally, on July 18, 1994, FDA published proposed revised guidelines for the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish. A final rule concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel was published on April 5, 1995. A final rule establishing reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of Recommended Dietary Allowances was published on December 28, 1995. ^PFDA published a final rule on August 2, 1996, on nutrient content claims and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA published a final rule on August 7, 1996, describing provisions for an exemption for small businesses from the requirements for nutrition labeling and providing instructions on how to file a notice claiming the exemption.

        <RULE_TITLE>Classification of Computer Software Programs That Are Medical Devices</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is considering whether it can or should classify stand-alone computer software products that fit the definition of a medical device under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The Secretary has made no decision regarding whether or not to initiate such a program. The Agency anticipates classifying these devices by using a risk-based approach as required under the Medical Device Amendments to the act. In addition, the agency will use existing exemptions from regulation where appropriate. Under this approach low risk medical software devices would be subject only to the adulteration and misbranding provisions of the act. Moderate risk devices would additionally be subject to the registration, listing, and good manufacturing practice requirements for adverse events and complaints. High risk devices would be the only products to require premarket submissions or premarket approval. FDA is also seeking comment on potential criteria related to the intended uses of medical software devices that might be used in determining the level of risk.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Development of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points for the Food Industry; Request for Comments; Proposed Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA announced on August 4, 1994, its plans to consider developing regulations that would establish requirements for a new comprehensive food safety assurance program for both domestically produced and imported foods that would be based on the principles of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). The new food safety program would respond to new challenges, such as new food processing and packaging technologies, new food distribution and consumption patterns, exposure to industrial chemicals and chemical waste, the increasing importation of foods, new microbial pathogens, and resource constraints. The most serious of these challenges is presented by food pathogens. The number of recognized food-borne pathogens has broadened considerably, as has the awareness of long-term complications from certain food-borne illnesses--such as arthritis, heart disease, and kidney and neurological damage. To meet such challenges, FDA intends to shift the focus of its food safety assurance program away from periodic visual inspection and end-product testing and toward prevention of food safety risks and problems, utilizing the HACCP state-of-the-art preventive approach. A first step was taken when FDA published a HACCP regulation for fish and fishery products on December 18, 1995. In additon, USDA published a HACCP regulation for meat and poultry on July 25, 1996. As a further step in response to comments on the ANPR, FDA proposes to publish a HACCP regulation for all foods that FDA regulates, with implementation first for processing of juice. In preparation of this document, FDA is also considering information obtained during HACCP pilot activities, and comments and scientific and technological information relating to fresh juices provided during and after the public meeting on juice held on December 16 and 17, 1996.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Certain Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to revoke certain regulations that either do not achieve public health goals or do not need to be codified as regulations to do so. These regulations include regulations that are actually statements of policy or guidance, that are duplicative, that are obsolete, or that have been made inaccurate by changes in legislation and technology. ^PFDA is taking this action in response to President Clinton's directive of March 4, 1995, to all Federal agencies to conduct a page-by-page review of their regulations and to eliminate or revise those that are outdated or otherwise in need of reform. As a result of its regulations review, FDA is proposing to eliminate 36 percent of its regulations that it has determined are obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals (735 pages of which will first require Congressional action). In addition, FDA plans to revise or modify an additional 45 percent of its remaining regulations to ease the burden on regulated industry and the consumer without sacrificing public health protection. For those regulations requiring Congressional permission to eliminate or reform, the Administration is seeking legislation. This proposal contains deletions that can be accomplished administratively. Examples include regulations that refer to substances no longer used in product formulations or to products that are no longer marketed; and regulations that codify product standards that can be more flexibly handled and updated within the context of the review process. FDA is providing a 90-day period for public comment on these proposed deletions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Export Requirements for Drugs for Investigational Use in Other Countries</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is proposing to amend its regulations on investigational new drug products to streamline requirements for exports of unapproved drugs for investigational use to foreign countries. The proposed rule would permit an unapproved drug product to be exported under three different options. The first option would permit exportation of a drug under an approved investigational new drug application (IND). This would be consistent with the preexisting rule. The second option would permit exportation of a drug to a country other than one specified in section 802 (b)(1)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, without an IND or prior FDA approval, provided that adverse event information is reported to the FDA. This would represent a significant change from the existing rule and reflects FDA's experience with drugs exported for investigational use (whereby a minute percentage of all drugs exported for investigational use result in any safety concerns). The third option would permit exportation of drugs for investigational use to one of the countries specified in Section 802(b)(1)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act without an IND or prior FDA approval. This third option would implement part of the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Informed Consent for Human Drugs and Biologics; Determination That Informed Consent Is Not Feasible</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration is evaluating its interim final regulation promulgated December 21, 1990, in light of recommendations made by the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses as well as other information that has come to its attention. The interim rule established requirements to allow agency approval for the waiver of informed consent in the use of investigational drugs or biologics in certain military combat circumstances. In examining its interim rule, several areas have engendered significant discussion and debate. Because these issues are complex and will require extensive coordination, it is not possible to predict when more definitive guidance will be available in the form of a Federal Register document.]]></ABSTRACT>

FDA also proposed to modify the provisions that delay the effective date of these regulations for small restaurant firms for one year. The agency proposed January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal describing the provisions for exemptions for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993.

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) requires that most foods bear nutrition labeling. The agency issued final rules implementing most of the provisions contained in the NLEA on January 6, 1993. Subsequently, however, the agency has identified additional areas that should be the subject of rulemaking. FDA issued a proposal on January 6, 1993, to establish requirements for the identification of certain ingredients on food labels. FDA proposed on June 15, 1993, to amend its January 6, 1993, final rules on nutrient content and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA also proposed to modify the provisions that delay the effective date of these regulations for small restaurant firms for one year. The agency proposed January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal describing the provisions for exemptions for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993. On August 18, 1993, FDA published a proposal concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel on food labels. Finally, on July 18, 1994, FDA published proposed revised guidelines for the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish. A final rule concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel was published on April 5, 1995. A final rule establishing reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of Recommended Dietary Allowances was published on December 28, 1995. ^PFDA published a final rule on August 2, 1996, on nutrient content claims and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA published a final rule on August 7, 1996, describing provisions for an exemption for small businesses from the requirements for nutrition labeling and providing instructions on how to file a notice claiming the exemption.

        <RULE_TITLE>Nutrient Content Claims and Health Claims; Restaurant Foods</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) requires that most foods bear nutrition labeling. The agency issued final rules implementing most of the provisions contained in the NLEA on January 6, 1993. Subsequently, however, the agency has identified additional areas that should be the subject of rulemaking. FDA issued a proposal on January 6, 1993, to establish requirements for the identification of certain ingredients on food labels. FDA proposed on June 15, 1993, to amend its January 6, 1993, final rules on nutrient content and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA also proposed to modify the provisions that delay the effective date of these regulations for small restaurant firms for one year. The agency proposed January 4, 1994, to establish reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of the National Research Council's Recommended Dietary Allowances. On March 14, 1994, FDA published a proposal describing the provisions for exemptions for low-volume food products of small businesses that were established by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act Amendments of 1993. On August 18, 1993, FDA published a proposal concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel on food labels. Finally, on July 18, 1994, FDA published proposed revised guidelines for the voluntary declaration of nutrition labeling for raw produce and fish. A final rule concerning the placement of the nutrition facts panel was published on April 5, 1995. A final rule establishing reference daily intakes based on the 9th and 10th editions of Recommended Dietary Allowances was published on December 28, 1995. ^PFDA published a final rule on August 2, 1996, on nutrient content claims and health claims to remove the provisions that exempted restaurant menus from the requirements for how nutrient content claims and health claims are to be made. FDA published a final rule on August 7, 1996, describing provisions for an exemption for small businesses from the requirements for nutrition labeling and providing instructions on how to file a notice claiming the exemption. FDA published on August 16, 1996, final guidelines in the voluntary declaration of (CONT)]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Obsolete Drug Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to revoke certain regulations that either do not achieve public health goals or do not need to be codified as regulations to do so. These regulations include regulations that are actually statements of policy or guidance, that are duplicative, that are obsolete, or that have been made inaccurate by changes in legislation and technology. ^PFDA is taking this action in response to President Clinton's directive of March 4, 1995, to all Federal agencies to conduct a page-by-page review of their regulations and to eliminate or revise those that are outdated or otherwise in need of reform. As a result of its regulations review, FDA is proposing to eliminate 36 percent of its regulations that it has determined are obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals (735 pages of which will first require Congressional action). In addition, FDA plans to revise or modify an additional 45 percent of its remaining regulations to ease the burden on regulated industry and the consumer without sacrificing public health protection. For those regulations requiring Congressional permission to eliminate or reform, the Administration is seeking legislation. This proposal contains deletions that can be accomplished administratively. Examples include regulations that refer to substances no longer used in product formulations or to products that are no longer marketed; and regulations that codify product standards that can be more flexibly handled and updated within the context of the review process. FDA is providing a 90-day period for public comment on these proposed deletions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Revocation of Obsolete Biological Regulations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to revoke certain regulations that either do not achieve public health goals or do not need to be codified as regulations to do so. These regulations include regulations that are actually statements of policy or guidance, that are duplicative, that are obsolete, or that have been made inaccurate by changes in legislation and technology. ^PFDA is taking this action in response to President Clinton's directive of March 4, 1995, to all Federal agencies to conduct a page-by-page review of their regulations and to eliminate or revise those that are outdated or otherwise in need of reform. As a result of its regulations review, FDA is proposing to eliminate 36 percent of its regulations that it has determined are obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals (735 pages of which will first require Congressional action). In addition, FDA plans to revise or modify an additional 45 percent of its remaining regulations to ease the burden on regulated industry and the consumer without sacrificing public health protection. For those regulations requiring Congressional permission to eliminate or reform, the Administration is seeking legislation. This proposal contains deletions that can be accomplished administratively. Examples include regulations that refer to substances no longer used in product formulations or to products that are no longer marketed; and regulations that codify product standards that can be more flexibly handled and updated within the context of the review process. FDA is providing a 90-day period for public comment on these proposed deletions.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Electronic Signatures; Electronic Records</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA is preparing regulations to set forth criteria for agency acceptance of electronic records and electronic signatures in lieu of paper records and handwritten signatures. The new rules would apply to any records requirements in chapter I of title 21 (all program areas and industries), unless specifically exempted by future regulations. For documents required to be maintained, but not submitted to FDA, persons could use electronic records and signatures upon the effective date of a final rule. For documents submitted to FDA, persons could use electronic records and signatures if FDA has stated, in a public docket to be maintained for that purpose, that the intended receiving organization is prepared to accept the submission in electronic form. (The proposed rule does not require use of electronic records and signatures, but permits their use under certain circumstances.) This action was taken as a follow-up to the Agency's 7/21/92 advance notice of proposed rulemaking. The intended effect is to permit and foster use of new technologies in a manner that is consistent with FDA's overall mission and that preserves the integrity of the Agency's enforcement activities.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Iron Containing Drugs and Supplements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On October 6, 1994, FDA published a proposal responding to three citizen petitions that were submitted in response to an increase in deaths and poisonings in small children due to accidental ingestion of iron-containing drugs and dietary supplements. The petitions requested that FDA require label warning statements for these products and special packaging to ensure the safe use of these products, and FDA is proposing to do so . Because of recent changes in the laws regulating dietary supplements brought about by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (Pub. L. 103-417), FDA published a supplemental proposal on February 16, 1995, that set forth its revised legal authority.]]></ABSTRACT>

The proposed rule would propose specific requirements for the screening, and testing of human reproductive tissue donors. The proposed rule would add an urgent medical need provision to part 1270. The proposed rule would also require error, accident, and disease transmission reporting for all human tissue and human reproductive tissue. The tracking of all human tissue and human reproductive tissue from donor to recipient or final disposition would also be required under this proposed rule. Finally, the proposed rule would extend the existing recordkeeping, import, recall and destruction provisions of part 1270 to human reproductive tissue intended for insemination, fertilization and transfer.]]></ABSTRACT>

The requirements include criteria for approval of State plans which must by statute be prescribed in regulations. These provisions would replace the existing interim final rule published March 31, 1993.

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Sanctions for Psychiatric Hospitals (HSQ-191-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would provide an alternative to terminating a psychiatric hospital's participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs for facilities found to be out of compliance with participation requirements. Alternative sanctions could be imposed instead of, or in addition to, terminating a psychiatric hospital's participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs when deficiencies do not pose immediate jeopardy to the health and safety of psychiatric hospital patients. These amendments are necessary to conform HCFA regulations to changes made by section 6020 of OBRA '89 and section 4755 of OBRA '90. The statutory and regulatory revisions are intended to encourage correction of deficiencies that do not jeopardize patient health and safety before termination of a facility becomes necessary.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Alternative Sanctions for Renal Dialysis Facilities (HSQ-204-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposal would set forth the circumstances under which HCFA could impose denial of payment as a sanction instead of terminating coverage when an ESRD facility is not in substantial compliance with the conditions for coverage, but its deficiencies do not pose immediate jeopardy to patient health or safety. Before section 1881 of the Social Security Act was amended by section 12 of the Medicare and Medicaid Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-93), HCFA was authorized to impose alternative sanctions only when an ESRD facility failed to cooperate in the goals and activities of the ESRD network for the area in which the facility is located.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule would amend the regulations on provider agreements by clarifying the effect a change of ownership has on penalties and sanctions incurred by Medicare providers. It would provide that all Medicare penalties and sanctions are automatically assigned to a new owner. It would also extend the same principle to certain suppliers; i.e., we would require the new owner of certain suppliers to be liable for any Medicare overpayments, penalties, and sanctions incurred by or imposed on the previous owner.]]></ABSTRACT>

It would also propose initial salary equivalency guidelines for speech language pathology and occupational therapy services furnished by providers under arrangements with an outside contractor. The guidelines would be used by Medicare fiscal intermediaries to determine the maximum allowable costs of those services.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[The purpose of the hospital conditions of participation is to protect patient health and safety and help assure that quality care is furnished to all hospital patients. Hospitals must meet the conditions of participation in order to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Revised conditions are necessary to ensure that our regulations focus primarily on the actual quality of care furnished to patients, and the outcomes of that care, rather than on procedural compliance. These changes are intended to give hospitals the flexibility needed to achieve high-quality outcomes in the most cost-effective manner. ^PIn addition, the regulations are intended to promote a cross-functional, interdisciplinary approach to hospital performance, instead of an approach geared towards evaluating each department of a hospital as a stand-alone entity. This approach is in line with current best practices in hospitals, in which patients routinely encounter many caregivers and services that often cut across department lines.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1861(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act) provides that a hospital participating in the Medicare program must meet certain specified requirements. In addition, section 1861(e)(9) of the Act specifies that a hospital also must meet such requirements that the Secretary finds are necessary in the interest of the health and safety of the hospital's patients. Under this authority, the Secretary has established in regulations the requirements that a hospital must meet to participate in Medicare. These requirements are set forth in regulations at 42 CFR part 482, Conditions of Participation for Hospitals. Section 1905(a) of the Act provides that Medicaid payments may be applied to hospital services. Under regulations at 42 CFR 440.10(a)(3)(iii), hospitals generally are required to meet the Medicare conditions of participation in order to participate in Medicaid.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[HCFA considered the possibility of revising individual sections of the current hospital regulations. However, we determined that the best means of achieving the systematic changes needed in the regulations was to revise the hospital conditions in their entirety. The specific areas that are likely to form the core of the revised requirements include patient rights, patient assessment, patient care, quality assessment and improvement, and information management.]]></ALTERNATIVES>

Revised procedures can better focus on ensuring that the care being given to a patient is the care that is actually necessary and effective for that patient.

        <RULE_TITLE>Home Health Agency (HHA) Conditions of Participation (BPD-819-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise home health agency conditions of participation to center on the patient, using outcome-oriented measures. Most of the current HHA conditions of participation have remained unchanged since home health services became a Medicare benefit in 1966. Some limited modifications have been made over the years to comply with legislative changes. As a result, most of the conditions of participation continue to be structure and process oriented. They do not effectively support the mandate of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA '87) to develop a patient-centered, outcome-oriented survey process that focuses on the organization and delivery of quality care services.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Because the existing survey process continues to focus on structure and process measures, the discrepancy between a Congressional mandate for outcome-oriented care and the authority for measuring the actual performance capabilities of HHAs in patient care services remains a problem. It presents difficulties for both providers and surveyors in areas of survey/certification, medical review, developing data based performance standards for HHA management and monitoring, and implementing a continuous quality improvement system for outcomes of care. ^PRegulations containing the Medicare HHA conditions of participation must be revised in order to provide a regulatory basis for a patient-centered, outcome-oriented system of home health quality assurance. The implementation of such a system will enhance Medicare's ability to ensure that high-quality care is furnished to the patients of Medicare-certified home health agencies. The Social Security Act authorizes us to regulate this area and no improvements in the survey process can be made without underlying regulatory authority. ^PThe Health Care Financing Administration has already met with a variety of provider and consumer representatives to discuss the development of revised standards. Representatives of consumers, providers, and States participated in this effort. Additional consultations are ongoing.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Section 1881(b)(1) of the Social Security Act stipulates that payment is made to individuals, providers of services, and renal dialysis facilities that meet the requirements for institutional dialysis services and supplies that are determined by the Secretary. These requirements are the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) conditions of coverage. ^PThe ESRD conditions for coverage regulations have not been comprehensively revised since their inception in the late 1970s. The current regulations primarily focus on process-oriented requirements, which are unnecessarily burdensome. They do not provide adequate support for a modern survey system based on an outcome-oriented approach. As a result, revised regulations must be issued to bring the ESRD conditions for coverage up to current standards of practice in the ESRD community. They must also reflect new developments in technology and equipment, as well as addressing the outcome-oriented standards process. ^PThe regulations would focus on the patient and the results of the care provided to the patients with the emphasis on total patient experience with dialysis and quality improvement. The revised regulations should focus on patient-centered, outcome-oriented standards where appropriate. In addition, they should emphasize patient functional well-being and indicate continuous quality improvement. Patient rights and satisfaction will also be key areas in the regulation. The revised regulations would develop performance expectations for the facility that would result in quality, comprehensive care for the dialysis patient. ^PIn keeping with the Administration's policy of working with our private sector partners, we held a meeting with the industry to discuss the focus of revisions to the conditions for coverage. Following publication of the proposed rule, we will consult further with the industry.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[In the past, HCFA has revised pieces of the ESRD regulations. However, we have determined that a complete and thorough revision would be a more effective mechanism for developing a comprehensive approach to quality care for the dialysis patient. In addition, this approach provides greater potential for successful implementation. Another option is to update the current regulations and maintain the process-oriented standards without developing an outcome-oriented approach. However, for the reasons discussed, we believe it is important to move forward with the outcome-oriented approach.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[The purpose of this proposed rule is to ensure that ESRD beneficiaries are receiving quality care in the areas of dialysis and transplantation. We believe that revised regulations are necessary to ensure that all facilities are using the most effective technology and equipment. The primary benefit of updating the conditions for coverage is the development of performance expectations for the facility that would result in the comprehensive, integrated care and outcomes the patient needs and wants. As a result, the beneficiaries would receive an improved quality of care. In addition, the revised regulations would address the issue of adequacy of dialysis, which would have a significant impact on ensuring that patients are not being underdialyzed. ^PItems that have the potential to affect the cost of the ESRD program include data gathering and infection control. However, at this time the cost or savings to the Medicare program have not yet been established, but costs should not be significant.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[If the ESRD regulations are not updated, our regulations will not reflect new developments in technology and equipment, thereby denying the improved protections to patients' health care that would result from this proposed rule.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule updates and revises policy on coverage of ambulance services. It bases coverage and payment for ambulance services on the medical services needed to treat the beneficiary's condition. It also clarifies Medicare policy on coverage of non-emergency ambulance services for Medicare beneficiaries. It defines an ambulance by describing the requirements for furnishing both basic and advanced life support levels of ambulance services. The rule would require use of additional HCFA common procedure coding systems (HCPCS) codes to show the origin and destination of the ambulance transportation on the billing form. It requires use of international classification of diseases, 9th revisions, clinical modification (ICD-9-CM) codes to bill the Medicare program for basic and advanced levels of ambulance services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Definition of Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) for Coverage of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) (BPD-834-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would define skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) under section 1819(A)(1) of the Social Security Act for purposes of Medicare coverage of durable medical equipment (DME) and home health services. A Medicare SNF (as defined under section 1819 of the Social Security Act) cannot be considered a home under Medicare Part B for DME and home health coverage. This proposed rule would presume that all Medicare nursing facilities are section 1819(A)(1) facilities and thus would not be considered a home for DME. This rule would identify non-Medicare nursing homes as skilled facilities based upon the receipt of skilled care by a proportion of its residents population that is at least comparable to the proportion typically found in participating Medicare SNFs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would revise and streamline the State Plan Amendment (SPA) reconsideration process. Currently, when a State requests reconsideration of a denied SPA, a hearing is held in all cases, even when the only dispute is over the interpretation of the statute. Under the proposed regulation, the State and HCFA could avoid the cost and delay of the hearing process when the only issue is interpretation of the statute by taking the issue directly to court. The reconsidered decision would then be made without a hearing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[A provider whose charges are lower than its reasonable costs for those services in any cost reporting period beginning January 1, 1974, but before April 28, 1988, may carry forward costs that are unreimbursed for two succeeding cost reporting periods. Sufficient time has passed since the publication of this provision to warrant the deletion from the regulation text of any reference to the carryover provision. Since payment for durable medical equipment (DME) provided by home health agencies (HHAs) is no longer based on the lesser of the reasonable cost or reasonable charge but rather on 80% of the lesser of the actual charge for the item or the payment amount recognized under the DME fee schedule and, for nominal charge HHAs, on 80% of the DME fee schedule amount, the lesser of costs or charges provision no longer applies and should be deleted from the CFR.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Supplier Participation Agreements and Limits on Actual Charges of Nonparticipating Physicians (BPD-862-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 established a voluntary participation program for physicians and suppliers under which physicians and suppliers enter into an agreement with Medicare that binds them to accept payment on an assignment-related basis for all services they furnish to Medicare beneficiaries. This proposed rule would set forth the terms and conditions of the participation agreements. This proposed rule would reflect provisions of OBRA '93 as to the suppliers subject to the charge limits, and provisions of SSA '94 as to administrative procedures for enforcing the charge limits. This rulemaking will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or duplication, or streamline requirements. It will give beneficiaries the opportunity to make informed consumer decisions regarding the choice of Medicare Part B services.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Medicare pays for hospital inpatient services under a prospective payment system (PPS) in which payment is made at a predetermined specific rate for the operating and capital-related costs associated with each discharge. These rules would announce the prospective payment rates for operating and capital-related costs for FY 1998. We would also revise the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment systems for operating costs and capital-related costs to implement necessary changes arising from our continuing experience with the systems. In addition, we would set forth rate-of-increase limits as well as policy changes for hospitals and hospital units excluded from the prospective payment systems. These changes would be applicable to discharges occurring on or after October 1, 1997.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule is being developed as a result of the OBRA 1993 provisions that mandated States to seek adjustment or recovery from the estates of Medicaid beneficiaries for amounts correctly spent by Medicaid on permanently institutionalized individuals (any age) and individuals age 55 or older for certain services. The OBRA 1993 provision also defines "estate," and further requires States to establish hardship procedures, in accordance with standards specified by the Secretary for waiver of recovery in cases where undue hardship would result.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Use of the OASIS as Part of the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Agencies (HSQ-238-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would add additional requirements to the proposed revision to the conditions of participation for home health agencies (HHAs). Specifically, this proposed rule would require that HHAs use a standard core assessment data set, the "Outcomes and Assessment Information Set" (OASIS) when evaluating adult, non-maternity patients. This proposed rule is an integral part of the Administration's efforts to achieve broad-based, measurable improvement in the quality of care furnished through Federal programs. It is a fundamental component in the transition to a quality assessment and performance improvement approach that focuses on stimulating measurable improved outcomes of care and patient satisfaction in the Medicare home health benefit and in home care services in managed care.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicare Program; Improvements to the Appeals Process for Medicare Beneficiaries Enrolled in HMOs, CMPs, and HCPPs (OMC-024-P)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would establish new administrative review requirements for Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in health maintenance organizations (HMOs), competitive medical plans (CMPs), and health care prepayment plans. This rule would implement section 1876(c)(5) of the Social Security Act, which specifies the appeal and grievance rights of Medicare enrollees in HMOs and CMPs. This rule would reduce time lines for nonurgent denials of care and make other improvements.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Deduction of Incurred Medical Expenses (Spenddown) (MB-020-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule amends and responds to comments on a final rule with comment period published in the Federal Register on January 12, 1994. That rule permits States flexibility to revise the process by which incurred medical expenses are considered to reduce an individual's or a family's income in order for the individual or family to become Medicaid eligible. The revisions permit States greater flexibility by offering options that will allow them to simplify the administration of their Medicaid programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicare Secondary Payer for Disabled Individuals (BPD-482-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will codify in the CFR the Medicare secondary payers (MSP) provision, under the Social Security Act, for disabled individuals who are covered under large group health plans (LGHPs). Under this provision LGHPs may not take into account that such individuals are entitled to Medicare. The rule contains procedures under which a plan can appeal a determination of nonconformance which could lead to an excise tax. It reflects statutory revisions mandated by OBRA '86, OBRA '89, and OBRA '93, some of which also affect the MSP provisions for persons who are entitled on the basis of age or end-stage renal disease.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will respond to public comments received on a final rule published on February 28, 1992. The rule revised regulations applicable to laboratories and implemented provisions of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), Public law 100-578. The regulations apply to laboratories that examine human specimens for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of the health of, human beings. They specify the performance requirements, based on test complexity and risk factors related to erroneous test results as required by CLIA, that apply to laboratories that are subject to CLIA. They also list requirements that permit waiver of the certification and inspection requirements for laboratories performing only limited testing.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[On October 31, 1988, the Congress enacted comprehensive changes to existing laboratory regulations in CLIA. This statute requires the regulation of any facility (including physician offices) that performs tests on human beings for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of the health of, human beings. Historically, the Department had regulated laboratories by "location," rather than by the types of tests they performed. CLIA requires that the Department regulate by test, using what is commonly referred to as the "complexity model" to categorize individual laboratory tests based on the experience, skills, and judgment required to perform each test accurately. Requirements vary as a function of the complexity of the tests the laboratory conducts. ^PThe law requires the Secretary to implement the numerous provisions through regulation to ensure the quality of laboratory testing, regardless of where it is provided or who is providing the testing. The law also requires the CLIA program be operated through the assessment of user fees paid by entities subject to these requirements. ^POn May 21, 1990, the Department published proposed rules to implement CLIA and received public comments from over 60,000 commenters. Based on analysis of these comments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with the Health Care Financing Administration developed a final rule with comment period that set forth standards for all entities performing laboratory testing based on test complexity. This rule was published on February 28, 1992, and was effective September 1, 1992. This regulation was revised by regulations with comment period published on January 19, 1993, December 6, 1994, and April 24, 1995. ^PIssues that will be addressed in this rule include quality control, quality assurance, personnel standards, cytology requirements; proficiency testing (PT) requirements; employee workplace drug testing; and other issues raised by commenters based on experience with CLIA implementation. ^PThe Clinical Laboratory Improvement Advisory Committee (CLIAC), which is composed of members of professional organizations and private citizens, is actively involved in making recommendations regarding technical and scientific aspects of the regulations. In addition, we actively solicit comments from outside organizations such as the American Medical Association, the Association of State and Territorial Public Health Laboratory Directors, and other professional and medical organizations regarding the interpretive guidelines for surveyors.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[This rule summarizes and responds to CLIAC recommendations and public comments to four previously published CLIA regulations.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[HHS is currently developing a final rule that will address comments received on the final rule with comment period published February 28, 1992, and further comments received in response to the January 19, 1993, December 6, 1994, and April 24, 1995 rules with comment period. Based on these comments, modifications to improve the cost-effectiveness of the CLIA standards are under consideration.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[It is not possible to project costs and benefits of the rule at this time. These regulations serve to ensure consistent, reliable laboratory testing that is an integral part of ensuring that individuals receive appropriate treatment.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[Inferior and inappropriate laboratory testing can result in misdiagnosis causing patient harm. CLIA reduces the potential for inaccurate diagnosis resulting from poorly performed laboratory testing since entities must meet requirements (e.g., quality assurance, proficiency testing, quality control, personnel requirements) that have a direct impact on laboratory testing results. Overly stringent standards could, however, discourage needed testing and reduce early detection of health problems. The Department does not at this time have an estimate of the magnitude and severity of these types of risks, but believes that both the original regulations and the revisions will on balance contribute to better diagnosis.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Resident Assessment in Long-Term Care Facilities (HSQ-180-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will provide Medicare and Medicaid nursing homes the requirements for a comprehensive, standardized, reproducible resident assessment instrument. All certified nursing homes are currently required to assess residents using a standardized data set known as the minimum data set (MDS). Nursing homes have been collecting this information manually since October 1990. Most States implemented a second generation assessment instrument, known as MDS 2.0, on January 1, 1996. The use of the MDS as the core of the comprehensive assessment requirement has improved the quality of nursing home services by assuring that the assessment is consistently based on all information that is necessary to evaluate a resident's needs. Accurate and comprehensive resident assessments have improved the accuracy of the care planning process and ultimately, the care provided by the nursing home. However, in order to realize the full benefits of the MDS, the information needs to be computerized, and configurable as an analytical tool. Publication of this rule will allow this goal to be realized by requiring electronic reporting of MDS data and provide support for the computerization of the MDS.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will set forth our policy for the payment of the costs of approved nursing and allied health science programs, as directed by section 6205(b)(2) of OBRA '89. For the most part, the provisions set forth in this rule restate or clarify our current policies governing these costs, which were previously set forth in the provider reimbursement manual and other documents, but have never been included in the regulations. In addition, we are amending the list of approved programs and clarifying payment rules for certified registered nurse anesthetist programs. This rule will also implement section 4004 of OBRA '90 which provides that, effective with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1990, under certain conditions, costs incurred by a hospital or educational institution related to the hospital for clinical training are treated as pass-through costs and paid on the basis of reasonable cost even though the hospital does not operate the education programs.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicare Coverage of and Application of the Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Limitation to, Clinical Psychologist, and Clinical Social Worker Services (BPD-706-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will address provisions of section 6113 of OBRA '89 and section 4157 of OBRA '90. Section 6113 of OBRA '89 provides coverage for the services of clinical psychologists (CPs) and clinical social workers. It requires CPs to agree to consult with the patient's primary care or attending physician. (Also, it will eliminate the dollar limitation that previously applied to mental health services, although the 62.5 percent limitation still applies). OBRA '89 also provides coverage for clinical social worker services, but places two limitations on separate payment, which apply to services provided to inpatients of hospitals and skilled nursing facilities that are Medicare participating. Section 4157 of OBRA '90 unbundled CP services from the definition of "inpatient hospital services." It also implements sections 104 (psychology services in hospitals) and 147 (consultation by social workers) of the Social Security Act Amendments of 1994.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicaid Payment for Covered Outpatient Drugs Under Rebate Agreements (MB-046-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will incorporate section 4401 of OBRA '90 to add specific requirements for Medicaid payment for covered outpatient drugs. The requirements concern: denial of Federal financial participation unless rebate agreements and drug use review are in effect; prohibiting some State plan drug access limitations for drugs covered under a rebate agreement; and the content of the rebate agreements. (The drug rebate agreement was previously published in the Federal Register on February 21, 1991 (56 FR 7049)). This rule will also reflect statutory revisions mandated by the Veteran's Health Care Act of 1992 and OBRA '93. Revision of the drug rebate dispute resolution process is part of the Department's regulatory reinvention initiative.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Change in Provider Agreement Regulations Related to Federal Employee Health Benefits (BPD-748-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will amend current Medicare regulations to require that payment limitations apply to hospitals that furnish inpatient hospital services to retired Federal workers, aged 65 or older, who are enrolled in a Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) plan but not covered under Medicare part A (Hospital Insurance). The payment amount will approximate the Medicare diagnosis-related group payment rates established under the inpatient hospital Medicare prospective payment rate. This rule will also amend current Medicare regulations to authorize HCFA to consider terminating or nonrenewing a hospital's Medicare provider agreement if the hospital repeatedly fails to accept the Medicare rate as payment in full for inpatient hospital services provided to retired Federal workers enrolled in a fee-for-service from a FEHB plan who do not have Medicare part A coverage. This rule will implement section 7002(f) of OBRA '90, enacted November 5, 1990. It will clarify that an institutional provider may not discriminate against Medicare patients in providing services because it is dissatisfied with the level of Medicare payment.]]></ABSTRACT>

Currently, these appeals must be in writing. This expanded rule will also allow appeals to be made by telephone or electronically, which will expedite the appeal process, and save time and costs for all parties. Allowing the use of telephone and electronic requests will supplement, not replace, the current review procedures. By providing quick and easy access to the appeals process, this rule will also improve carrier relationships with the provider and beneficiary communities.]]></ABSTRACT>

            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Advisory Committee (CLIAC) was established to advise and make recommendations on technical and scientific aspects of the regulations. The CLIAC recommended that the criteria for categorizing tests as waived be better defined. As a result of the comments concerning waived tests and the CLIAC recommendations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed criteria for placing tests in the waived category as outlined in this proposal.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[This regulation decreases burden, especially for physician office laboratories due to virtually no regulatory oversight. It increases access to a greater variety of tests. Physician office laboratories may expand the range of tests they perform without an increase in costs/burden. The regulation creates incentives for manufacturers to develop more test systems that meet the clarified waiver criteria and criteria for approval for home use. It eliminates inspection fees for many of the 60,000 physician offices and other small laboratories performing tests that will fall into the expanded waived category.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The expansion of the waived criteria and development of a process protocol will provide for consistent application of detailed standards in order to ensure that tests categorized as waived preclude any reasonable risk of harm to patient as a result of testing error.]]></RISKS>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), HHS complied with a Federal court order requiring publication of an NPRM that would require that cytology proficiency testing be conducted to the extent practicable, under normal working conditions. We proposed to revise regulations to require that proficiency testing be conducted at a pace corresponding to the maximum workload rate for individuals examining slides. We also solicited comments on the use of computer facsimile representations of cytology specimens, as an alternative to glass-slide proficiency testing.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medicare Program; Establishment of an Expedited Review Process for Medicare Beneficiaries Enrolled in HMOs, CMPs, and HCPPs (OMC-25-FC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule with comment period establishes a new administrative review requirement for Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in health maintenance organizatinos (HMOs), competitive medical plans (CMPs), and health care prepayment plans (HCPPs). This rule implements section 1876(c)(5) of the Social Security Act, which specifies the appeal and grievance rights for Medicare enrollees in HMOs and CMPs. This rule requires that an HMP, CMP, or HCPP establish and maintain, as part of the health plan's appeals procedures, and expedited process for making organization determinations and reconsidered determinations when adverse determination could seriously jeopardize the life or health of the enrollee or the enrollee's ability to regain maximum function. This rule also revises the definition of appealable determinations to clarify that it includes a decision to discontinue services. This final rule with comment period establishes a new administrative review requirement for Medicare beneficiaries]]></ABSTRACT>

            <STMT_OF_NEED><![CDATA[Results of HCFA's efforts to gain more beneficiary input and studies by various external organizations clearly indicate the need for more rapid turnaround on decisions involving medically necessary, covered services. Delays in such decisions could affect quality of care and the health status of Medicare enrollees. In addition, the need for expedited review in cases where a beneficiary's life, health status, or ability to function could be in serious jeopardy has been identified, and is becoming increasingly available to under-65 enrollees of managed care plans. Last, there has been confusion as to the appeal rights of Medicare enrollees who have received covered services, particularly from skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies, but for whom such services are subsequently terminated or reduced. This rule would clarify the Medicare enrollee's right to appeal in these situations.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[Section 1876(c)(5) of the Social Security Act requires that the contracting HMO/CMP provide meaningful procedures for hearing and resolving grievances between the organization and the member. Subpart Q of 42 part 417 sets forth specific regulatory requirements for implementation of this provision. In a final regulation issued in November 1994, HCPPs were required to provide the appeal protections of this subpart.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>
            <ALTERNATIVES><![CDATA[Various time frames for conducting preservice and other service-related denials were considered. This regulation proposes following time frames being recommended for adoption by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) in their Health Carrier Grievance Procedure Model Act, which will likely be used by State legislatures as a licensure requirement for HMOs and other managed care plans. Conformity with NAIC model requirements will enhance consumer/beneficiary understanding and utilization of appeal protections, eliminate confusion on the part of health plan staff responsible for the appeals process, and improve plan performance in this area.]]></ALTERNATIVES>
            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[Although the costs and benefits associated with this rulemaking have not yet been estimated, no significant budgetary impact is anticipated. Medicare contracting health plans would experience additional costs associated with these appeals improvements, including a higher volume of appeals. These costs would be absorbed within the plans' Medicare payment amount. HCFA will experience some additional administrative costs associated with expansion of its reconsideration contract. These costs are justified by the improved protections available to beneficiaries who choose Medicare managed care. The appeals process is an integral and critical component to prepaid, managed systems of care. That is, the incentives of prepaid health plans to manage utilization of services is balanced by quality checks and balances, including the appeals process. A strong appeals process helps ensure that Medicare enrollees receive all medically necessary covered services.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[There is bipartisan and industry support for this rule and there are no apparent risks.]]></RISKS>

If this is not done timely, the effective date of the protections under the law shall be delayed, with potential harm to protected eligible individuals.]]></STMT_OF_NEED>
            <LEGAL_BASIS><![CDATA[HIPAA includes provision at a new section 2792 of the Public Health Service Act requiring and authorizing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate such regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Act. Other provisions of the Act specify implemented through regulation.]]></LEGAL_BASIS>

            <COSTS_AND_BENEFITS><![CDATA[These rules will benefit eligible individuals by assuring them of continuity of health coverage when they lose coverage under a group health plan as a result of termination of employment, or as a result of certain other events, of the individual or of a person under whose coverage the individual had been a dependent. As a result, many people will not become uninsured, and many others will be able to maintain coverage without the imposition of new pre-existing condition limitations on coverage. ^PThis regulation will assist small employers by assuring that they will have access to group coverage for their employees in the small group market. It also will impose costs on small insurance companies. Overall, there may some increase in premium costs for all participants in the small group and individual insurance markets. ^PA full cost analysis is not complete. Congressional Budget Office analyses of the impact on plans and insurers of mandated coverage showed the cost of that coverage would be on the order of $400 million annually.]]></COSTS_AND_BENEFITS>
            <RISKS><![CDATA[The promulgation of these regulations will put in place protections in the insurance market that will assure eligible individuals continuity of coverage and relief of new pre-existing condition limits. Failure to timely promulgate these regulations will delay their effect, and will result in harm to some of those individuals who would otherwise have been protected.]]></RISKS>

        <RULE_TITLE>Medically Needy Determinations Under Welfare Reform (MB-109-IFC)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This interim final rule with comment period will revise our rules to allow States to include individuals who are described as categorically needy to be covered as medically needy. The State must specify the income and resources criteria for the medically needy group in the State plan. If an individual is also described as categorically needy, the individual would receive Medicaid as categorically needy if the State elected to cover the categorically needy group into which the individual fits. If the State has not elected to cover that group, the individual would be medically needy. This change will allow more individuals to become eligible for Medicaid as medically needy and eliminate an inequity in current regulations. This revision also allows some individuals who would otherwise lose their Medicaid benefits to retain their eligibility.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <RULE_TITLE>Participation in CHAMPUS and CHAMPVA, Hospital Admissions for Veterans, Discharge Rights Notice, and Hospital Responsibility for Emergency Care (BPD-393-F)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will require Medicare participating hospitals with emergency departments to provide upon request medical examinations and treatments for individuals with emergency medical conditions and women in labor. A participating hospital that has specialized capabilities or facilities (such as burn, shock trauma, or neonatal intensive care units) must accept an appropriate transfer if they have the capacity to treat the individual. Hospitals failing to meet those requirements may have their Medicare provider agreements terminated, and hospitals and responsible physicians may be subject to civil money penalties. Under section 9122 of COBRA '85, Medicare participating hospitals are required to accept CHAMPUS and CHAMPVA payment as payment in full for services provided to CHAMPUS and CHAMPVA beneficiaries. These regulations also implement section 9305(b) of OBRA '86, which requires Medicare hospitals to give patients a notice of their discharge rights.]]></ABSTRACT>

        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule, to be issued jointly by HCFA and the Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) will prohibit Medicare payment for nonphysician services furnished to a hospital outpatient by a provider or supplier other than the hospital, unless the services are furnished under an arrangement with the hospital. The hospital is obligated by its provider agreement to furnish the services directly or under an arrangement. These regulations will also authorize the OIG to impose a civil money penalty, not to exceed $2,000, against any individual who knowingly and willfully presents, or causes to be presented, a bill or request for payment, for items or services furnished under Medicare, that is inconsistent with an arrangement under section 1866(a)(1)(H) of the Social Security Act or is in violation of the requirements for an arrangement. These regulations implement section 9343(c) of OBRA '86, section 4085(i)(17) of OBRA '87, and section 4157 of OBRA '90.]]></ABSTRACT>
