Determination That Celestone Soluspan (Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate) Injection and Celestone (Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate) Injection Were Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its determination that two drug productsCelestone Soluspan (betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate) injection and Celestone (betamethasone sodium phosphate) injectionwere not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination will allow FDA to approve abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate injection and betamethasone sodium phosphate injection if all other legal and regulatory requirements are met. However, in considering whether to file an ANDA for betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate injection, future applicants are advised that Celestone Soluspan injection may not be commercially available because, under a consent decree between FDA and the manufacturer, it is being made available in certain instances of medical necessity only. The reasons for its unavailability are not safety or effectiveness considerations associated with the drug product in general, but specific to the manufacturer. An ANDA applicant who is unable to obtain Celestone Soluspan injection for bioequivalence testing must contact the Office of Generic Drugs for a determination of what is necessary to show bioavailability and same therapeutic effect. If the reference listed drug (RLD) product becomes commercially available prior to ANDA approval, the ANDA applicant will need to show bioequivalence to the RLD product.

ASTM International Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft developed the new and revised standards with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) participation. By this Notice, the FAA finds the new and revised standards acceptable for certification of the specified aircraft under the provisions of the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft rule.
Advisory Circular (AC) 23-26, Synthetic Vision and Pathway Depictions on the Primary Flight Display
This advisory circular (AC) sets forth an acceptable means, but not the only means, of showing compliance with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 23 for two new concepts in small airplanes.

This AC addresses the two concepts in a head down display format only. This AC covers airplanes in the normal, utility, acrobatic, and commuter categories approved to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Material in this AC is neither mandatory nor regulatory in nature and does not constitute a regulation. The draft advisory circular was issued for Public Comment on May 16, 2005 (70 FR 25873). When possible, comments received were used to modify the draft advisory circular.

Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. (Formerly AlliedSignal, Inc., Formerly Textron Lycoming, Formerly Avco Lycoming) T5309, T5311, T5313B, T5317A, T5317A-1, and T5317B Series, and T53-L-9, T53-L-11, T53-L-13B, T53-L-13BA, T53-L-13B S/SA, T53-L-13B S/SB, T53-L-13B/D, and T53-L-703 Series Turboshaft Engines
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Honeywell International Inc., (formerly AlliedSignal, Inc., formerly Textron Lycoming, formerly Avco Lycoming) T53 turboshaft engines, installed on, but not limited to, Bell 204, Bell 205, Kaman K- 1200 series, Bell AH-1, and Bell UH-1 helicopters, certified under 14 CFR 21.25 or 14 CFR 21.27. This AD requires implementing reduced life limits for certain parts, using cycle counting methods, and using draw- down schedules to replace components that exceed the new limits. This AD results from the manufacturer informing us of test and analysis showing lower calculated service life limits for certain parts, than previously published. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of certain compressor, gas producer, and power turbine rotating components, which could result in failure of the engine and possible damage to the helicopter.
