Background In recent years, many important initiatives have been undertaken by regulatory authorities and industry associations to promote international harmonization of regulatory requirements. FDA has participated in many meetings designed to enhance harmonization and is committed to seeking scientifically based harmonized technical procedures for pharmaceutical development. One of the goals of harmonization is to identify and then reduce differences in technical requirements for drug development among regulatory agencies. ICH was organized to provide an opportunity for tripartite harmonization initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and industry representatives. FDA also seeks input from consumer representatives and others. ICH is concerned with harmonization of technical requirements for the registration of pharmaceutical products among three regions: The European Union, Japan, and the United States. The six ICH sponsors are the European Commission; the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations; the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare; the Japanese Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association; the Centers for Drug Evaluation and Research and Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA; and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. The ICH Secretariat, which coordinates the preparation of documentation, is provided by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (IFPMA). The ICH Steering Committee includes representatives from each of the ICH sponsors and the IFPMA, as well as observers from the World Health Organization, Health Canada, and the European Free Trade Area. In the Federal Register of December 17, 2007 (72 FR 71416), FDA published a notice announcing the availability of a draft tripartite guidance entitled ‘‘Q4B Evaluation and Recommendation of Pharmacopoeial Texts for Use in the ICH Regions; Annex 3: Test for Particulate Contamination: Subvisible Particles General Chapter.’’ The notice gave interested persons an opportunity to submit comments by February 15, 2008. After consideration of the comments received and revisions to the guidance, a final draft guidance entitled ‘‘Q4B Evaluation and Recommendation of Pharmacopoeial Texts for Use in the VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:16 Jan 08, 2009 Jkt 217001 ICH Regions; Annex 3: Test for Particulate Contamination: Subvisible Particles General Chapter’’ was submitted to the ICH Steering Committee and endorsed by the three participating regulatory agencies in June 2008. The guidance provides the specific evaluation outcome from the ICH Q4B process for the Test for Particulate Contamination: Subvisible Particles General Chapter harmonization proposal originating from the threeparty PDG. This guidance is in the form of an annex to the core ICH Q4B guidance. When implemented, the annex will provide guidance for industry and regulators on the use of the specific pharmacopoeial texts evaluated by the ICH Q4B process. Following receipt of comments on the draft, no substantive changes were made to the annex. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency’s current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II.

Laboratories certified through that program were accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as required by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification of those accredited Canadian laboratories will continue under DOT authority. The responsibility for conducting quarterly performance testing plus periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to have an active role in the performance testing and laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory Guidelines published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644). After receiving DOT certification, the laboratory will be included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in the NLCP certification maintenance program.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This Notice announces the requirement that petitions and VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:16 Jan 08, 2009 Jkt 217001 applications related to the Alien Entrepreneur (EB–5) immigrant classification, and Regional Center Proposals under the EB–5 Immigrant Investor Pilot Program, must be filed at the California Service Center (CSC). Currently, EB–5-related petitions and applications are filed at either the Texas Service Center (TSC) or the CSC, depending on where the alien’s commercial enterprise is located. Regional center proposals are being submitted to the Chief of USCIS Service Centers at USCIS Headquarters. The change to one filing location for EB–5related petitions, applications, and regional center proposals announced by this Notice is necessary to improve the efficiency in the processing of EB–5related filings. DATES: This Notice is effective January 26, 2009 for the filing of Forms I–526, I–829, and Forms I–485 based on an approved Form I–526. This Notice is effective January 26, 2009 for the filing of Regional Center Proposals under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph P.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background A. EB–5 Immigrant Classification The employment creation immigrant classification (referred to as the ‘‘Employment Based (EB–5)’’ immigrant classification) allows qualifying aliens, and any accompanying spouses and children, to obtain lawful permanent resident (LPR) status if the qualifying aliens have invested, or are actively in the process of investing, $1 million in a new commercial enterprise. See Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) secs. 203(b)(5)(A) and (C), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(5)(A) and (C). Their investment must benefit the U.S. economy and create full-time jobs for 10 or more qualifying employees. INA sec. 203(b)(5)(A)(ii), 8 U.S.C. 1153(B)(5)(A)(ii). If the investment is in a rural area or an area that has experienced high unemployment (referred to as ‘‘Targeted Employment Area’’), the required capital investment amount is $500,000 rather than $1 million. INA sec. 203(b)(5)(C)(ii), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(5)(C)(ii); 8 CFR 204.6(f)(2). Also, under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program, qualifying aliens may meet the job creation requirement through the creation of 10 indirect jobs. PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 See Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1993, sec. 610(c), Public Law 102–395, 106 Stat. 1874 (1992), 8 U.S.C. 1153 note. To qualify for the relaxed job creation requirement, an alien must invest in a new commercial enterprise that is located in a geographical region of the United States covered by a ‘‘regional center’’ (defined in 8 CFR 204.6(e)) approved by USCIS for participation in the pilot program. This pilot program is set to expire on March 6, 2009. See Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, Div. A, sec. 144, Public Law 110–329, 122 Stat. 3574, 3581 (2008). USCIS approves a regional center based on the submission of a proposal which successfully: • Describes how the regional center will promote economic growth in a particular geographical region of the United States; • Describes how jobs will be indirectly created; • Specifies the amount and source of capital committed to the regional center; • Describes the manner in which the regional center will have a positive impact on the economy; and is • Supported by economically or statistically valid forecasting tools. 8 CFR 204.6(m)(3). Obtaining LPR status under the EB–5 immigrant classification is a three step process, as follows: (1) The alien must first be classified as an alien entrepreneur. This step requires the alien to obtain an approval of a Form I–526, ‘‘Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur.’’ See 8 CFR 204.6(a). (2) The alien then applies to become a conditional resident on the basis of the approved Form I–526 petition. If the alien resides in the United States, he or she must obtain a grant of a Form I–485, ‘‘Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status’’ from USCIS to become a conditional resident. See 8 CFR 245.1(a). If the alien resides outside of the United States, he or she must obtain an immigrant visa issued by the Department of State (DOS) and gain admission to the United States on this basis. Foreign Affairs Manual 9 FAM 42.32(e) N12. After completing one of these steps, the alien will obtain conditional resident status. INA section 216A(f)(1), 8 U.S.C. 1186b(f)(1). (3) The last step to obtaining LPR status is triggered 90 days before the second anniversary of the alien entrepreneur’s conditional resident status. INA section 216A(d)(2), 8 U.S.C. 1186b(d)(2). During this 90-day period, the alien entrepreneur must submit to E:\FR\FM\09JAN1.SGM 09JAN1

    The following laboratory will be voluntarily withdrawing from the 
NLCP on January 9, 2009:

Oregon Medical Laboratories, 123 International Way, Springfield, OR 
97477, 541-341-8092.
    *The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its Laboratory 
Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 
1998. Laboratories certified through that program were accredited to 
conduct forensic urine drug testing as required by U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification of 
those accredited Canadian laboratories will continue under DOT 
authority. The responsibility for conducting quarterly performance 
testing plus periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSA-accredited 
laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with the HHS' NLCP 
contractor continuing to have an active role in the performance testing 
and laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian laboratories 
wishing to be considered for the NLCP may apply directly to the NLCP 
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
    Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will 
recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 
1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory Guidelines 
published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644). 
After receiving DOT certification, the laboratory will be included in 
the monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and participate in the 
NLCP certification maintenance program.

Elaine Parry,
Acting Director, Office of Program Services, SAMHSA.
