The Division of Drug Information Resources no longer exists. The agency contact for this information is now the Orange Book Staff, Office of Generic Drugs. In § 314.53(f), FDA is updating the agency unit to which notifications of requests for correction of patent information should be directed. The Drug Information Services Branch no longer exists. These notifications should now be sent to the Office of Generic Drugs Document Room, attention the Orange Book Staff. In § 314.107(e), FDA is updating the listing of agency units to which a 505(b)(2) applicant must send notification of entry of an order or judgment in a court action. Instead of the appropriate division in the Office of Drug Evaluation I and Office of Drug Evaluation II, these notifications should now be sent to the appropriate division in the Office of New Drugs. In § 314.107(f)(2)(iv), FDA is updating the agency recipient of a 505(b)(2) applicant’s required notification that a legal action has been filed within 45 days of receipt of a notice of paragraph IV certification (submitted under section 505(b)(2)(A)(iv) of the act) from the appropriate division in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research to the appropriate division in the Office of New Drugs. In § 314.125(b)(16), FDA is correcting a cross-reference to the agency’s regulations on institutional review boards (21 CFR part 56) by replacing ‘‘part 58’’ with ‘‘part 56.’’ Publication of this document constitutes final action under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary because the amendments to the regulations provide only technical changes to correct an inaccurate citation and to update agency contacts, and are nonsubstantive. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with RULES List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 314 Administrative practice and procedure, Confidential business information, Drugs, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Accordingly, the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 510.600(c) to add entries for Medical Developments International, Ltd., and in 21 CFR part 529 to add this new animal drug. 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.

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Park Street drawbridge across the Oakland Inner Harbor, mile 5.2, at Alameda, CA. The deviation is necessary to allow seismic retrofitting of the bridge. This deviation allows single leaf operation of the double leaf, bascule style drawbridge, during the deviation period. DATES: This deviation is effective from 12:01 a.m. on February 1, 2009 until 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2009.

If you have questions on viewing the docket, call Renee Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone (202) 366–9826. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The County of Alameda requested a temporary change to the operation of the Park Street drawbridge across the Oakland Inner Harbor, mile 5.2, at Alameda, CA. The Park Street drawbridge navigation span provides a horizontal clearance of 241 feet between pier fenders. During single leaf operation, horizontal clearance is reduced to approximately 100 feet. The drawbridge provides a vertical clearance of 15 feet above Mean High Water in the closed-to-navigation position and unlimited vertical clearance in the open-to-navigation position. As required by 33 CFR 117.181, the draw shall open on signal; except that, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday except Federal holidays, the draw need not be opened for the passage of vessels. However, the draw shall open during the above closed periods for vessels which must, for reasons of safety, move on a tide or slack water, if at least two hours notice is given. The waterway is navigated by commercial, recreational, emergency and law enforcement vessels. Between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Friday, the drawspan will be operated, one leaf at a time, while the opposite leaf, counterweight and hinges are seismically retrofitted. The drawbridge will be operated in the normal double leaf operation mode at night and on weekends, when work is not actually being performed on the bridge. The starting and ending dates for the project are from 12:01 a.m. on February 1, 2009 until 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2009. This temporary deviation has been coordinated with the waterway users. The largest tug and barge combination on the waterway will be able to continue navigating safely through the bridge. Recreational and E:\FR\FM\06MRR1.SGM 06MRR1
