petitioners per petition is 10,995 hours,
for a total burden of 21,990 hours. There
are no capital costs or operating and
maintenance costs associated with the
burden hours being transferred from
OMB control number 0910–0016 to
OMB control number 0910–0495.
Electronic submissions of petitions
contain the same petition information
required for paper submissions. The
agency estimates that one petitioner for
both food and color additives will take
advantage of the electronic submission
process per year. By using the
guidelines and forms that FDA is
providing, the petitioner will be able to
organize the petition to focus on the
information needed for FDA’s safety
review. Therefore, we estimate that
petitioners will only need to spend
approximately 1 hour completing the
electronic submission application form
(Form 3503 or 3504, as appropriate)
because they will have already used the
guidelines to organize the petition
information needed for the submission.
The labeling requirements for food
and color additives were designed to
specify the minimum information
needed for labeling in order that food
and color manufacturers may comply
with all applicable provisions of the act
and other specific labeling acts
administered by FDA. Label information
does not require any additional
information gathering beyond what is
already required to assure conformance
with all specifications and limitations in
any given food or color additive
regulation. Label information does not
have any specific recordkeeping
requirements unique to preparing the
label. Therefore, because under § 70.25,
labeling requirements for a particular
color additive involve information
required as part of the CAP safety
review process, the estimate for number
of respondents is the same for § 70.25
and § 71.1, and the burden hours for
labeling are included in the estimate for
§ 71.1. Also, because labeling
requirements under parts 172, 173, 179,
and 180 for particular food additives
involve information required as part of
the FAP safety review process under
§ 171.1, the burden hours for labeling
are included in the estimate for § 171.1.
In cases where a regulation
implements a statutory information
collection requirement, only the
additional burden attributable to the
regulation, if any, has been included in
FDA’s burden estimate.

SECURITY
Office of the Secretary
Determination Pursuant to Section 102
of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996
as Amended by Section 102 of the
REAL ID Act of 2005 and as Amended
by the Secure Fence Act of 2006
Office of the Secretary,
Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Homeland
Security has determined, pursuant to
law, that it is necessary to waive certain
laws, regulations and other legal
requirements in order to ensure the
expeditious construction of physical
barriers and roads in the vicinity of the
international land border of the United
States in Arizona. The Secretary’s
waiver is effective upon publication of
this Notice.
DATES: This Notice is effective on
January 19, 2007.
Determination and Waiver: In section
102(a) of the Illegal Immigration Reform
and Immigrant Responsibility Act of
1996 (IIRIRA), Public Law 104–208, Div.
C, 110 Stat. 3009–546, 3009–554 (Sept.
30, 1996) (8 U.S.C. 1103, note), Congress
provided that the Attorney General shall
take such actions as may be necessary
to install additional physical barriers
and roads (including the removal of
obstacles to detection of illegal entrants)
in the vicinity of the United States
border to deter illegal crossings in areas
of high illegal entry into the United
States. Pursuant to sections 1511 and
1517 of the Homeland Security Act of
2002 (HSA), Public Law 107–296, 116
Stat. 2135, 2309, 2311 (Nov. 25, 2002)
(6 U.S.C. 551, 557), the authorities of the
Attorney General contained in section
102 of the IIRIRA were transferred to the
Secretary of Homeland Security
(Secretary).
In section 3 of the Secure Fence Act
of 2006 (Secure Fence Act), Public Law
109–367), Congress amended Section
102(b) of IIRIRA to provide for the
installation of fencing, barriers, roads,
lighting, cameras, and sensors along five
segments of the southern border of the
United States, including much of the
border between Arizona and Mexico. In
section 102(c) of the IIRIRA, as amended
by section 102 of the REAL ID Act of
2005, Public Law 109–13, Div. B, 119
Stat. 231, 302, 306 (May 11, 2005)
(REAL ID Act) (8 U.S.C. 1103 note),
Congress granted the Secretary
‘‘authority to waive all legal
requirements such Secretary, in such

Secretary’s sole discretion, determines
necessary to ensure the expeditious
construction of barriers and roads
under’’ section 102 of IIRIRA.
I have determined that the area in the
vicinity of the United States border
known as the Barry M. Goldwater Range
(BMGR), as described in the Bureau of
Land Management’s ‘‘Legal Description
of Barry M. Goldwater Range
Withdrawal, AZ’’ (66 FR 59813
(November 30, 2001)), in southwestern
Arizona, including the adjacent area to
the west of the BMGR, is an area of high
illegal entry. This area is also within the
footprint of infrastructure provided for
in Section 102(b)(1)(A)(ii) of IIRIRA as
amended by the Secure Fence Act.
There is presently a need to construct
fixed and mobile barriers (such as
fencing, vehicle barriers, towers,
sensors, cameras, and other
surveillance, communication, and
detection equipment) and roads in the
vicinity of the border of the United
States within and in the vicinity of the
BMGR. In order to ensure the
expeditious construction of the barriers
and roads that Congress prescribed in
sections 102(a) and 102(b) of the IIRIRA
in the BMGR, which is an area of high
illegal entry into the United States, I
have determined that it is necessary to
exercise the authority that was
transferred to me by sections 1511 and
1517 of the HSA and that is vested in
me by section 102(c) of the IIRIRA as
amended by section 102 of the REAL ID
Act.
Accordingly, with respect to the
construction, as prescribed in sections
102(a) and 102(b) of the IIRIRA, of roads
and fixed and mobile barriers within the
BMGR and within five miles to the west
of the BMGR (including, but not limited
to, accessing the project area, the
conduct of earthwork, excavation, fill,
and site preparation, and installation
and upkeep of fences, roads, supporting
elements, drainage, erosion controls,
safety features, surveillance,
communication, and detection
equipment of all types, radar and radio
towers, and lighting), I hereby waive, in
their entirety, all Federal, State, or other
laws, regulations and legal requirements
of, deriving from, or related to the
subject of, the following laws, as
amended: the National Environmental
Policy Act (Pub. L. 91–190, 83 Stat. 852,

Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670 et seq.); and the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
551 et seq.).
I reserve the authority to make further
waivers from time to time under the
authority granted to me by section
102(c) of the IIRIRA, as amended by
section 102 of the REAL ID Act, as I may
determine to be necessary to accomplish
