ACTION: Final rule (Treasury decision). AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau is adopting as a final rule, with some clarifying changes and editorial corrections, the temporary regulations set forth in T.D. ATF–444. These temporary regulations eliminated the onsite preshipment inspection of, and the requirement to complete several ATF forms for, shipments to the United States of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in Puerto Rico. DATES: Effective Date: March 31, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy R. Greenberg, Regulations and Rulings Division, Alcohol and Tobacco * Background Chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) pertains to the Federal excise tax on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes. Section 5701 of the IRC (26 U.S.C. 5701) imposes a tax on such products manufactured in, or imported into, the United States. Section 7652(a) of the IRC (26 U.S.C. 7652(a)) imposes the same tax, with certain exceptions not pertinent here, on articles of merchandise of Puerto Rican manufacture coming into the United States and withdrawn for consumption or sale. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is responsible for administering the provisions of chapter 52 and section 7652(a) of the IRC as they pertain to the tax on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, including promulgating regulations concerning payment and collection of the tax and other requirements that protect the revenue. Prior to January 24, 2003, our predecessor agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) administered these regulations. On March 8, 2001, ATF published in the Federal Register (66 FR 13849) a temporary rule, T.D. ATF–444, amending the regulations in 27 CFR part 275 to eliminate certain regulatory requirements related to the shipment of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes of Puerto Rican manufacture PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Sponsor * As in paragraph (e)(1) of this section; see paragraph §§ 558.342(d) of this chapter.

I * 057926 * from Puerto Rico to the United States. Specifically, ATF amended §§ 275.105, 275.106, 275.110, and 275.111 to eliminate the requirement that persons who ship tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes of Puerto Rican manufacture from Puerto Rico to the United States notify ATF prior to the shipment, and to eliminate the requirements that an ATF officer: (1) Inspect each shipment of such articles; (2) certify that the amount of tax on the articles has been calculated correctly; and (3) release each shipment. The amended regulations set forth recordkeeping requirements in place of the former processes of notification, physical inspection, certification, and release. Under the temporary rule, persons who ship Puerto Rican tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes to the United States must keep and maintain records to show that the amount of tax is correctly calculated, paid (where applicable), and recorded for audit and examination purposes. The temporary rule amendments to §§ 275.106, 275.110, and 275.111 also eliminated the requirements for the completion of four specific forms. Two forms, ATF forms 2987 (5210.8) and 3075 (5200.9), were required to be submitted to ATF by the company shipping the products to the United States, and contained information readily available from common commercial records. The elimination of these forms was intended to relieve the taxpayer of a duplicative recordkeeping requirement. The other two forms, ATF forms 2989 and 3074 (5200.6), were certificates which were prepared by ATF officers and affixed to the outside E:\FR\FM\31MRR1.SGM 31MRR1

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 a new animal drug application 
(NADA) filed by Intervet Inc. The NADA provides for use of approved, 
single-ingredient Type A medicated articles containing zilpaterol 
hydrochloride and melengestrol acetate in two-way combination Type B 
and Type C medicated feeds for heifers fed in confinement for 
slaughter.

DATES: This rule is effective March 31, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerald L. Rushin, Center for 
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-126), Food and Drug Administration, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intervet Inc., P.O. Box 318, 29160 Intervet 
Lane, Millsboro, DE 19966, filed NADA 141-284 that provides for use of 
ZILMAX (zilpaterol hydrochloride) and MGA (melengestrol acetate) Type A 
medicated articles to make dry and liquid two-way combination Type B 
and Type C medicated feeds used for increased rate of weight gain, 
improved feed efficiency, and increased carcass leanness; and for 
suppression of estrus (heat) in heifers fed in confinement for 
slaughter during the last 20 to 40 days on feed. The NADA is approved 
as of February 29, 2008, and the regulations in 21 CFR 558.665 are 
amended to reflect the approval.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR 
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and 
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of 
this application 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)(2) that this action 
is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore,

[[Page 16755]]

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.
