Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Proposed Rules
(72 FR 70251) to seek public comment
only with respect to two issues raised in
the comments that opposed the
proposed provision to require fluid UF
milk or fluid UF nonfat milk to be
declared as ‘‘ultrafiltered milk’’ or
‘‘ultrafiltered nonfat milk,’’ respectively:
(1) That, due to economic and logistical
burdens, it would be impracticable for
cheese manufacturers to comply with
the labeling requirement; and (2) that
the proposed provision to declare fluid
UF milk as ‘‘ultrafiltered milk’’ would
be misleading to consumers in that
consumers incorrectly believe that
cheeses that declare ‘‘ultrafiltered milk’’
as an ingredient are different from those
cheeses that declare ‘‘milk’’ as an
ingredient or ‘‘milk and ultrafiltered
milk’’ as ingredients.
The agency has received a request for
an additional 60 days to respond to the
questions FDA asked in its December
11, 2007, document. The request
expressed concern that the reopening of
the comment period did not allow
adequate time to provide the data and
information that FDA requested.
FDA has considered the request and
is extending the request for an
additional 60 days until April 11, 2008.
The agency believes that this additional
time will provide interested parties
sufficient time to respond to the
questions raised in the December 11,
2007, docment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department is extending by 30 days, the
comment period for the NPRM
proposing revisions to the
apprenticeship regulations published on
December 13, 2007 (72 FR 71020).
Regulations that implement the
National Apprenticeship Act at Title 29
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
29 have not been updated since first
promulgated in 1977. These regulations
establish, for certain Federal purposes,
labor standards, policies and procedures
for the registration, cancellation and
deregistration of apprenticeship
programs, and apprenticeship
agreements. Part 29 also provides for the
recognition of a State Apprenticeship
Agency (SAA) as an agency authorized
to register local apprenticeship
programs for Federal purposes, and for
the revocation of such recognition. On
December 13, 2007, the Department
published in the Federal Register
proposed revisions to update 29 CFR

7694
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Proposed Rules
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
part 29, to ensure that the National
Registered Apprenticeship System has
the necessary tools and flexibility to
keep pace with changes in the economy,
technological advances, and
corresponding workforce challenges that
have occurred over the past three
decades. In particular, the proposed rule
updates the procedures for
apprenticeship program registration,
adds requirements for monitoring of
program performance, and clarifies the
Department’s role as manager of the
National Apprenticeship System. In
addition, the proposed rule incorporates
gender neutral terms and expands the
variety of media that may be used in the
delivery of related technical instruction.
Such revisions will enable the
Department to promote apprenticeship
opportunity in the 21st century while
continuing to safeguard the welfare of
apprentices.
The Department published its notice
of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register of December 13, 2007 (FR Doc.
E7–24178) at 72 FR 71020. The notice
invited interested persons to submit
written comments on the proposed rule
on or before February 11, 2008. The
Department received a number of
requests for an extension of the
comment period. After balancing the
interests of timeliness and public
participation, the Department has
determined that it is in the public’s
