SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PBGC’s regulations prescribe actuarial assumptions—including interest assumptions—for valuing and paying plan benefits of terminating singleemployer plans covered by title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The interest assumptions are intended to reflect current conditions in the financial and annuity markets. Three sets of interest assumptions are prescribed: (1) A set for the valuation of benefits for allocation purposes under section 4044 (found in Appendix B to Part 4044), (2) a set for the PBGC to use to determine whether a benefit is payable as a lump sum and to determine lump-sum amounts to be paid by the PBGC (found in Appendix B to Part 4022), and (3) a set for private-sector pension practitioners to refer to if they wish to use lump-sum interest rates determined using the PBGC’s historical methodology (found in Appendix C to Part 4022). Accordingly, this amendment (1) adds to Appendix B to Part 4044 the interest assumptions for valuing benefits for allocation purposes in plans with valuation dates during February 2005, (2) adds to Appendix B to Part 4022 the interest assumptions for the PBGC to use for its own lump-sum payments in plans with valuation dates during February 2005, and (3) adds to Appendix C to Part 4022 the interest assumptions for private-sector pension practitioners to refer to if they wish to use lump-sum interest rates determined PO 00000 Sponsor Sfmt 4700 * 046573 using the PBGC’s historical methodology for valuation dates during February 2005. For valuation of benefits for allocation purposes, the interest assumptions that the PBGC will use (set forth in Appendix B to part 4044) will be 4.00 percent for the first 20 years following the valuation date and 4.75 percent thereafter. These interest assumptions represent a decrease (from those in effect for January 2005) of 0.10 percent for the first 20 years following the valuation date and are otherwise unchanged. The interest assumptions that the PBGC will use for its own lump-sum payments (set forth in Appendix B to part 4022) will be 3.00 percent for the period during which a benefit is in pay status and 4.00 percent during any years preceding the benefit’s placement in pay status. These interest assumptions are unchanged from those in effect for January 2005. For private-sector payments, the interest assumptions (set forth in Appendix C to part 4022) will be the same as those used by the PBGC for determining and paying lump sums (set forth in Appendix B to part 4022). The PBGC has determined that notice and public comment on this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This finding is based on the need to determine and issue new interest assumptions promptly so that the assumptions can reflect, as accurately as possible, current market conditions. Because of the need to provide immediate guidance for the valuation and payment of benefits in plans with valuation dates during February 2005, the PBGC finds that good cause exists E:\FR\FM\14JAR1.SGM 14JAR1

21 CFR Part 558


New Animal Drugs For Use in Animal Feeds; Decoquinate

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to reflect approval of two supplemental new animal 
drug applications (NADAs) filed by Alpharma Inc. The supplemental NADAs 
provide for the use of single-ingredient decoquinate and 
chlortetracycline Type A medicated articles to make two-way Type B and 
Type C medicated feeds for cattle at a broader range of concentrations.

DATES: This rule is effective January 14, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janis R. Messenheimer, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-135), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Alpharma Inc., One Executive Drive, P.O. Box 
1399, Fort Lee, NJ 07024, filed a supplement to NADA 141-147 for use of 
DECCOX (decoquinate) and CHLORMAX (chlortetracycline) Type A medicated 
articles to make two-way Type B and Type C medicated feeds for cattle 
at the broader range of concentrations. Alpharma Inc. also filed a 
supplement to NADA 141-185 for use of DECCOX and AUREOMYCIN 
(chlortetracycline) Type A medicated articles for the same revised 
conditions of use. The supplemental applications are approved as of 
December 16, 2004, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.195 to 
reflect the approval. The basis of approval is discussed in the freedom 
of information summaries.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR 
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), summaries of safety and 
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of 
these applications may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management 
(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, 
Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33(a)(1) that these 
actions are of a type that do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an 
environmental assessment nor environmental impact statement is 
required.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.'' 
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements 
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
