Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs; Embutramide, Chloroquine, and Lidocaine Solution
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of an original new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Phoenix Scientific, Inc. The NADA provides for veterinary prescription use of a solution containing embutramide, chloroquine phosphate, and lidocaine by intravenous injection for euthanasia of dogs.
New Animal Drugs; Moxidectin
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Fort Dodge Animal Health.

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-92A Helicopters
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A helicopters. This action requires replacing a certain part-numbered tail gear box output housing that has 600 or more hours time-in-service (TIS) with an airworthy part. Also, this AD revises the Airworthiness Limitations section of the maintenance manual by reducing the life limit of the tail gear box output housing. This amendment is prompted by the premature failure of the tail gear box output housing during fatigue testing by the manufacturer. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the tail gear box output housing, loss of tail rotor drive, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Cancellation of an Optional Form by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) cancelled OF 86, Personal Data (Warning) Label (Large) since it is no longer needed.
Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca Artouste III Series Turboshaft Engines
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Turbomeca Artouste III series turboshaft engines. That AD currently requires smoke emission checks after every ground engine shutdown, and if necessary, additional checks and possibly removing the engine from service. That action also requires inspection of central labyrinths not previously inspected, or not replaced after the engine logged 1,500 operating hours, and, replacement if necessary. That action also requires the removal of injection wheels at a new lower life limit. This proposed AD includes the same requirements as the existing AD, but reduces the compliance time for the initial inspection of the central labyrinth and adds repetitive inspections of the central labyrinth. This proposed AD results from reports and analyses of in-flight engine shutdowns occurring since we issued AD 2002-22-11. We are proposing this AD to prevent injection wheel cracks and excessive central labyrinth wear, which could result in an in- flight engine shutdown.

Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Possible Revocation or Amendment of Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Cigarette Ignition)
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') is considering revoking or amending its existing standard for the flammability of mattresses and mattress pads (16 CFR part 1632).

With this advance notice of proposed rulemaking, the Commission begins to assess the need for continuing the existing mattress standard. The Commission invites comments concerning the risk of injury identified in this notice, the regulatory alternatives being considered, and other possible alternatives. The Commission also invites submission of any existing standard or statement of intention to modify or develop a voluntary standard to address cigarette ignition of mattresses and mattress pads.

Preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) at the Haleakal
The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) Project. The NSF, through an award to the National Solar Observatory (NSO), plans to fund construction of the proposed ATST at the University of Hawai'i Institute for Astronomy (IfA), Haleakala High Altitude Observatory (HO) site, on the Island of Maui, Hawai'i. An extensive campaign of worldwide site testing has identified Haleakala Observatory as the optimal location for this next- generation solar observing facility. The telescope enclosure and a support facility would be placed at one of two identified sites within the existing observatory boundaries. The EIS will address both of these sites and the potential environmental impacts of on-site construction, installation, and operation of this proposed new solar telescope. With its unprecedented 4.2-m (165-inch) aperture, advanced optical technology, and state-of-the-art instrumentation, the proposed ATST will be an indispensable tool for exploring and understanding physical processes on the sun that ultimately affect Earth. The EIS will address, among other things, the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts associated with the proposed Advanced Technology Solar Telescope project. The EIS development process for the proposed action will be conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Written comments may be forwarded to:
