95-31099,Market Entry and Regulation of Foreign-affiliated Entities,Rule,"This Report and Order contains information collections subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). It has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under section 3507(d) of the PRA, OMB, the general public, and other Federal agencies are invited to comment on the information collections contained in this proceeding On November 28, 1995, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a Report and Order in response to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which the Commission adopted on February 7, 1995, that establishes a market entry standard for foreign carriers seeking to provide basic international telecommunications services under section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, a amended (``the Act''). The Report and Order also establishes a standard by which the Commission will review whether it is in the public interest to permit foreign investment in licensees of common carrier radio facilities in excess of the benchmarks contained in section 310(b)(4) of the Act. The Report and Order was adopted. The Report and Order makes additional changes to the Commission's regulations of international common carriers. In reviewing applicants for international section 214 authority filed by a foreign carrier or its U.S. affiliate (collectively ``foreign carrier''), the Commission will examine, as an important part of its public interest analysis, whether competitive opportunities exist for U.S. carriers in destination markets in which the foreign carrier has market power. The Commission will apply a similar analysis in reviewing indirect foreign investment in licensees of common carrier radio facilities under section 310(b)(4), but it will limit its review to the ``home market'' of the foreign investor. In addition to considering effective competitive opportunities, the Commission will examine additional public interest factors that might weigh in favor of, or against, approving the foreign carrier's international section 214 application, or permitting the indirect foreign investment in a common carrier radio licensee to exceed the section 310(b)(4) benchmark. In taking this action, the Commission's primary goal is to advance the public interest by promoting effective competition in the U.S. telecommunications services market, particularly the market for international services. The action also reaffirms the Commission's goals to prevent anticompetitive conduct in the provisions of international services or facilities, and to encourage foreign governments to open their communications markets.",1995-12-29,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31099/market-entry-and-regulation-of-foreign-affiliated-entities,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31099.pdf,Federal Communications Commission,161,"This Report and Order contains information collections subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).

95-31390,Substances Approved for Use in the Preparation of Meat and Poultry Products,Proposed Rule,"FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to harmonize and improve the efficiency of the procedures used by FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reviewing and approving the use of substances in meat and poultry products. Under the proposed procedures, FSIS would no longer issue its own regulations listing substances it finds suitable for use in meat and poultry products. Instead, by agreement between USDA and the FDA, future FDA regulations would specify whether a substance approved for use in foods under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) may be used in or on meat or poultry products. Current FDA regulations that approve the use of substances in foods generally and do not preclude meat and poultry uses will confer authority to use such substances in meat and poultry products unless expressly prohibited by USDA regulation. Requests for meat and poultry uses of substances not permitted under title 9 or title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) would have to be made to FDA in the form of a petition for FDA approval. FDA is simultaneously publishing in this issue of the Federal Register a proposal that would amend the FDA regulations governing the review of petitions for the approval of food additives to provide for simultaneous review of such petitions by FSIS when meat or poultry product uses are indicated. This would permit FDA listings to specify whether, and if so under what conditions, such substances may be used in USDA-inspected meat and poultry products. Such listings would eliminate the need for separate FSIS rulemaking. FSIS would limit any future, substance-specific rulemaking to prohibitions or limitations on meat or poultry uses of specific substances that may be necessary to protect the public under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) or Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA). FSIS would continue to provide evaluations upon request as to whether substances permitted for general use under current regulations are suitable for specific uses in meat and poultry products. FSIS proposes to adopt the position that substances that are listed in title 21, CFR, Parts 182 and 184, as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food generally, with no limitation other than good manufacturing practice, would be accepted by USDA as GRAS for use in meat, meat food products, and poultry products generally, unless otherwise restricted for such use by regulation in title 9, CFR. Other GRAS substances currently permitted for general food use would be evaluated by FSIS as to their suitability for specified uses in meat food products and poultry products on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with FDA as appropriate.",1995-12-29,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31390/substances-approved-for-use-in-the-preparation-of-meat-and-poultry-products,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31390.pdf,Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service,"12,201",FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to harmonize and improve the efficiency of the procedures used by FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reviewing and approving the use of substances in meat...
95-31391,Food Standards: Requirements for Processed Meat and Poultry Products Named by Use of an Expressed Nutrient Content Claim and a Standardized Term,Proposed Rule,"The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to establish a general definition and standard of identity for standardized meat food and poultry food products that have been modified to qualify for use of an expressed nutrient content claim in their product name. These products would be identified by an expressed nutrient content claim, such as ``Fat Free,'' ``Low Fat,'' and ``Light,'' in conjunction with an appropriate standardized product name. FSIS 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 of 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.",1995-12-29,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31391/food-standards-requirements-for-processed-meat-and-poultry-products-named-by-use-of-an-expressed,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31391.pdf,Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service,"12,201",The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to establish a general definition and standard of identity for standardized meat food and poultry food products that have...
95-31392,Prior Labeling Approval System,Rule,"The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations by expanding the types of labeling, authorized for use on meat and poultry products by official establishments in the United States and foreign establishments certified under foreign inspection systems, which would not require submittal to FSIS for approval prior to use. In addition, FSIS is amending the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to permit the submission of only sketch labeling, except for temporary approvals, in those instances where labeling is required to be submitted for approval and to require retention of certain labeling records. This final rule eliminates unnecessary duplication in the labeling approval system, and contributes to President Clinton's initiatives for greater efficiency in government services, (e.g., it is consistent with the principles of the National Performance Review to cut red tape, put customers first, and eliminate what is not needed).",1995-12-29,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31392/prior-labeling-approval-system,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31392.pdf,Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service,"12,201","The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is amending the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations by expanding the types of labeling, authorized for use on meat and poultry products by official establishments in the United States..."
95-31393,FSIS Agenda for Change: Regulatory Review,Proposed Rule,"The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which ought 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 regulation. It also moves beyond the page-by-page review of FSIS regulations carried out earlier this year under the President's Reinvention of Government Initiative. A thorough review of FSIS's regulations is needed to prepare for implementation of the Agency's 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. FSIS invites comment from the public and all interested parties on the Agency's preliminary review of its regulations and specific suggestions on which regulations need to be eliminated or changed to be compatible with HACCP, and how they should be changed, or to achieve Reinvention of Government goals of having fewer, clearer, and more user-friendly regulations. Some of the rulemakings needed to streamline existing requirements and carry out the FSIS food safety strategy are being initiated or effectuated in documents that appear elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register: A proposed rule that would eliminate the FSIS prior approval system for substances added to meat and poultry products; a proposed rule that would facilitate marketing of nutritionally improved alternatives to standardized meat and poultry food products; and a final rule streamlining the prior approval system for meat and poultry labels. As FSIS progresses in its comprehensive regulatory review, FSIS will publish further proposals to eliminate unnecessary regulations and modify remaining regulations, replacing, to the extent possible, command-and-control regulations with performance standards, clarifying the role of inspectors in enforcing those standards, and reorganizing and simplifying the regulations to make them easier to understand and use.",1995-12-29,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31393/fsis-agenda-for-change-regulatory-review,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31393.pdf,Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service,"12,201","The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which ought to be modified, streamlined, or eliminated.

95-31397,National Appeals Division Rules of Procedure,Rule,"On May 22, 1995 (60 FR 27044), the National Appeals Division (NAD) in the Office of the Secretary published a proposed rule to implement Title II, Subtitle H, of the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, Pub. L. 103- 354, 7 U.S.C. 6991 et seq., by setting forth procedures for program participant appeals of adverse decisions by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) agency officials to NAD. The deadline for receipt of comments was June 21, 1995. On June 28, 1995 (60 FR 32922) the Office of the Secretary published an extension of the deadline for receipt of comments until July 6, 1995. From the period May 22 to July 6, 1995, forty-six timely public comments were received in response to the proposed rulemaking. Based on these comments, including concerns regarding the need for an additional comment period on the proposed rules and the need for a comment period on USDA agency conforming rules, but mindful of the immediate need for published rules, the Secretary now issues these rules on an interim final basis.

95-31404,"Union Pacific Railroad CompanyAbandonmentWallace Branch, ID",Notice,"The Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) seeks the immediate issuance of a certificate of interim trail use (CITU) under section 8(d) of the National Trails System Act, 16 U.S.C. 1247(d) (Trails Act), for a 71.5-mile rail line of Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) between milepost 16.5, near Plummer, and milepost 7.6, near Mullan, via milepost 80.4/0.0, near Wallace, in Benewah, Kootenai, and Shoshone Counties, ID. This notice is to request comments from all interested parties, agencies, and members of the public as to whether there is any impediment to the issuance of Trails Act authority in the unusual circumstances of this case. In Union Pacific RR. Co.--Aband.--Wallace Branch, ID, 9 I.C.C.2d 325 (1992), 9 I.C.C.2d 377 (1992), and 9 I.C.C.2d 446 (1993), the Commission granted UP's application to abandon this line, subject to various conditions. Specifically, the Commission allowed UP to discontinue service on the line, but provided that the carrier could not fully abandon the line (i.e., salvage the line and give up the right-of-way) until the environmental impacts of those actions are fully addressed and resolved. A request for a CITU was filed in 1992, but it was not acted on because an offer of financial assistance (OFA) under 49 U.S.C. 10905 was filed to acquire the line for continued rail service. The OFA process, however, terminated without a sale agreement or a request to the agency to set terms. On judicial review of the abandonment decision, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part. State of Idaho et al. v. ICC, 35 F.3d 585 (D.C. Cir. 1994). As pertinent here, the court affirmed the Commission's decision to permit UP to discontinue rail operations on the line. But the court concluded that the Commission had attempted to delegate away too much of its responsibility to look at the potential environmental impacts of salvage activity and accordingly remanded the conditional salvage authorization. By decision served December 2, 1994, the Commission reopened the abandonment proceeding. The Commission's decision vacated the conditional authorization of salvage activity here, except for the portion of the line within a ``Superfund'' site, where section 121(e)(1), 42 U.S.C. 962(e)(1), relieves UP of the requirement to obtain permission from the Commission if it does so in compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. The decision also clarified that UP may not engage in any other salvage activity on this line until it has complied with the six environmental conditions previously imposed by the agency (under Commission supervision) and appropriate environmental documentation is prepared taking a final look at the environmental impacts of salvage followed by a determination as to whether the economic benefits of salvage outweigh the potential environmental harm. Following the issuance of that decision, RTC, in August 1995, requested the immediate issuance of a CITU to permit trail use under section 8(d) on the entire 71.5-mile right-of-way, including the portion of the line within the Superfund site. RTC submitted the statement of willingness to assume financial responsibility and liability for the right-of-way required by the Commission's Trails Act rules and agreed to rail banking. UP stated that it is willing to negotiate with RTC. In addition, the railroad, in view of the outstanding environmental conditions imposed in this case, stated that if there is an agreement in principle between UP and RTC or any other group for trail use or other use of this right-of-way, it would request Commission approval of that use prior to execution of any written agreement between the parties. Given the unusual circumstances of this case, we request comments from all interested parties, agencies, and members of the public as to whether there are any impediments to the issuance of Trails Act authority here.",1995-12-29,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31404/union-pacific-railroad-companyabandonmentwallace-branch-id,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31404.pdf,Interstate Commerce Commission,543,"The Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) seeks the immediate issuance of a certificate of interim trail use (CITU) under section 8(d) of the National Trails System Act, 16 U.S.C. 1247(d) (Trails Act), for a 71.5-mile rail line of Union Pacific Railroad..."

95-31545,Documents Containing Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements: Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review,Notice,"The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 1. Type of submission: Revision. 2. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR 35.32 and 35.33, ``Quality Management Program and Misadministrations''. 3. The form number if applicable: Not applicable. 4. How often the collection is required: One time submittal of a quality management program (QMP) for each existing and new licensee, when the QMP is modified, or when new modalities (uses) are added to an existing license. Misadministrations are reported as they occur. Records of written directives, administered dose or dosage, an annual review of the QMP, and recordable events must be maintained in auditable form for 3 years and misadministrations for 5 years. 5. Who will be required or asked to report: 10 CFR Part 35 licensees and equivalent Agreement State licensees who use byproduct material in limited diagnostic and therapeutic ranges. 6. An estimate of the number of responses: 3825. 7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 6388. 8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: Approximately 51,778 hours (reporting: 38,706 hrs/yr and recordkeeping: 13,072 hrs/yr). 9. An indication of whether Section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13 applies: applicable. 10. Abstract: In the medical use of byproduct material, there have been instances where byproduct material was not administered as intended or administered to a wrong individual which resulted in unnecessary exposures or inadequate or incorrect diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The most frequent causes of these incidents were: insufficient supervision, deficient procedures, failure to follow procedures, and inattention to detail. To reduce the frequency of such events, the NRC requires licensees to implement a quality management program (10 CFR 35.32) to provide high confidence that byproduct material or radiation from byproduct material will be administered as directed by an authorized user physician. Records and reports to NRC are required for certain errors in the administration of limited diagnostic and therapeutic quantities of byproduct material by medical use licensees. Section 35.33 clarifies these requirements to avoid confusion over whether certain events should be reported to NRC and to help ensure that the licensee is in compliance with the requirements. NRC has a responsibility to inform the medical community of generic issues identified in the NRC review of misadministrations. NRC has revised the definition for ``misadministration'' in 10 CFR 35.2, ``Definitions.'' The revision considerably reduces the number of ``errors'' that must be reported to the NRC or an Agreement State. Collection of this information will enable the NRC to ascertain whether misadministrations are investigated by the licensee and that corrective action is taken. A copy of the submittal may be viewed free of charge at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW, (Lower Level), Washington, DC. Members of the public who are in the Washington, DC, area can access the submittal via modem on the Public Document Room Bulletin Board (NRC's Advanced Copy Document Library) NRC subsystem at FedWorld, 703- 321-3339. Members of the public who are located outside of the Washington, DC, area can dial FedWorld, 1-800-303-9672, or use the FedWorld Internet address: fedworld.gov (Telnet).
