95-31376,Conformance of Uniform State Waterways Marking System and Western Rivers Marking System with the United States Aids to Navigation System and the Maritime Buoyage System of the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities,Proposed Rule,The Coast Guard is considering changes that would bring the Uniform State Waterways Marking System (USWMS) and the Western Rivers Marking System (WRMS) more into conformance with the U.S. Aids to Navigation System (USATONS) and the Maritime Buoyage System (MBS) of the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA).

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...
95-31393,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.

95-31511,Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard; Steering Control Rearward Displacement,Proposed Rule,"On November 16, 1995, (60 FR 57565) the agency published a proposal to exclude certain vehicles from the application of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 204, Steering Control Rearward Displacement. The excluded vehicles would be passenger cars and other light vehicles that are certified to comply with the frontal barrier crash test requirements of the agency's occupant crash protection standard by means of an airbag. A 60-day comment period was announced for that proposal. Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety requested an extension of the period to submit written comments. Advocates urged the agency to extend the time to comment, due to significant demands on their staff, responding to other NHTSA dockets and participation in NHTSA Negotiated Rulemaking meetings in January. The agency agrees that the unusual coincidence of numerous agency activities of interest to Advocates may result in inadequate time to respond to this notice.

95-31035,Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Maine; NOINFX Exemption Request for Northern Maine and NOINFX Control Approval,Proposed Rule,"The EPA is approving, through direct final rulemaking procedures, a limited exemption request from the requirements contained in Section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act (Act) for the Northern Maine area (specifically, Oxford, Franklin, Somerset, Piscataquis, Penobscot, Washington, Aroostook, Hancock and Waldo Counties). These 9 counties, as with the rest of the State of Maine, are part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) as provided for in section 184(a) of the Clean Air Act. Section 182(f) in combination with section 184 (relating to ozone transport regions) of the Act requires States in the OTR, such as Maine, to adopt reasonably available control technology (RACT) rules for major stationary sources of nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X) and to provide for nonattainment area new source review (NSR) for new sources and modifications that are major for NO<INF>X. This exemption request, submitted by the State of Maine on September 7, 1995, is based on a demonstration that NO<INF>X emissions in this 9 county area are not impacting Maine's moderate nonattainment areas or other nonattainment areas in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) during times when elevated ozone levels are monitored in those areas. As such, additional reductions in NO<INF>X emissions from these 9 counties beyond what the State regulations would provide for are not necessary for attainment in these areas, and, because they do not contribute to the ozone problem anywhere in the OTR, are also not necessary for purposes of showing future attainment for any other area in the OTR. Thus, as provided for in section 182(f)(2), additional NO<INF>X reductions in these areas would constitute excess reductions that can be waived under the Clean Air Act. Maine has requested that EPA combine its approval of this NO<INF>X exemption with its approval of NO<INF>X controls for existing sources in Northern Maine that were submitted to EPA on August 5, 1994 for purposes of meeting the Act's NO<INF>X RACT requirements. Consequently, this action approves a full exemption from nonattainment NSR requirements for NO<INF>X, but only a limited exemption from NO<INF>X control measures for existing sources that would go beyond what the State regulations provide for. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving this exemption request and limited NO<INF>X controls for this area as a direct final rule without prior proposal. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. This direct final rule also includes EPA's response to several comments submitted by groups on past NO<INF>X exemption requests. If no additional adverse comments are received in response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.",1995-12-26,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/26/95-31035/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-maine-noinfx-exemption-request-for-northern-maine,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-26/pdf/95-31035.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,"The EPA is approving, through direct final rulemaking procedures, a limited exemption request from the requirements contained in Section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act (Act) for the Northern Maine area (specifically, Oxford, Franklin, Somerset,..."

95-31154,Protection of Human Subjects; Informed Consent,Proposed Rule,"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its current informed consent regulations to require that the written consent form signed by the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative, be dated by the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative at the time consent is given. FDA is proposing this requirement because the agency has had problems on occasion verifying that informed consent was obtained from a research subject prior to participation in a study because the consent document was not dated. The agency believes that by explicitly requiring that the consent form be dated at the time it is signed, the agency will be able to help ensure that informed consent was, in fact, obtained prior to entry into the study as required by FDA regulations. FDA is also proposing to amend its regulation on case histories to clarify what adequate case histories include.

This proposal would require a detailed visual inspection of the fuel feed hose assemblies of the auxiliary power unit (APU) to detect overheating, degradation, proper routing, and adequate clearance; and the correction of any discrepancies found. This proposal is prompted by reports of heat damage to the fuel feed hose assembly of the APU due to contact between the hose assembly and hot surfaces.

95-29458,Hazardous Waste Management System: Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste: Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR),Proposed Rule,"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today is proposing to amend its regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by establishing constituent-specific exit levels for low- risk solid wastes that are designated as hazardous because they are listed, or have been mixed with, derived from, or contain listed hazardous wastes. Under this proposal, generators of listed hazardous wastes that meet the self-implementing exit levels would no longer be subject to the hazardous waste management system under Subtitle C of RCRA as listed hazardous wastes. Today's Notice, commonly referred to as the Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR), establishes a risk- based ``floor'' to hazardous waste listings that will encourage pollution prevention, waste minimization, and the development of innovative waste treatment technologies. Many of the exit levels are established using an innovative risk assessment which evaluates potential exposure pathways, both direct and indirect, from a variety of sources, such as waste piles and surface impoundments. This assessment focuses on both human and environmental receptors and is presented for comment in today's Notice. The remaining exit levels are based on an alternative risk analysis. The Agency is also proposing to modify some of the land disposal restriction (LDR) numerical treatment standards listed in subpart D of 40 CFR part 268. This notice proposes to cap technology-based treatment standards with the risk-based exit levels which minimize threats to human health and the environment. This notice also takes comment on several general approaches and one specific approach for conditional exemptions from subtitle C management. Today's notice also contains the Agency's tentative response to a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Chemical Manufacturers Association and the Agency's tentative response to the recommendations made by the Dialogue Committee on Hazardous Waste Identification. This committee was formally chartered in July 1993 in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA).",1995-12-21,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/21/95-29458/hazardous-waste-management-system-identification-and-listing-of-hazardous-waste-hazardous-waste,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-21/pdf/95-29458.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today is proposing to amend its regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by establishing constituent-specific exit levels for low- risk solid wastes that are designated as hazardous...

95-30985,"Proposed Removal of Federal Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the Sacramento River, San Joaquin River, and San Francisco Bay and Delta of the State of California",Proposed Rule,"In December 1994, under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a rule establishing four sets of water quality criteria to protect the designated uses for the surface waters of the Sacramento River, San Joaquin River, and San Francisco Bay and Delta of the State of California (Bay/Delta). Subsequent to this promulgation, the State of California adopted water quality standards for the Bay/Delta and submitted them to EPA for approval. On September 26, 1995, the Regional Administrator for EPA Region IX approved the state water quality standards as protective of the designated uses for the relevant waterbodies. Currently, the State of California is in the process of implementing these state-adopted and EPA-approved water quality standards through a state water rights hearing process. Accordingly, EPA's promulgated water quality standards are no longer needed to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, EPA proposes to remove the rule.",1995-12-20,1995,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/20/95-30985/proposed-removal-of-federal-water-quality-standards-for-surface-waters-of-the-sacramento-river-san,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-20/pdf/95-30985.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,"In December 1994, under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a rule establishing four sets of water quality criteria to protect the designated uses for the surface waters of the Sacramento..."
