Allocation and Apportionment of Interest Expense; Correction, 9844-9845 [2012-3855]

Download as PDF 9844 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES additional petitions; one requesting an administrative stay of action with an embedded citizen petition and the other requesting an administrative stay of action. Each of the requests for an administrative stay of action concern FDA’s use of enforcement discretion related to labeling of dietary supplements, pending the publication of a final rule.2 In addition, FDA received numerous comments on the 2010 proposed rule requesting that FDA extend the period of enforcement discretion based on the 2003 letter until publication of a final rule. FDA has received new scientific data and information, through comments to the 2010 proposed rule, or submitted with petitions, relating to several of the factors we set forth in the 2003 letter, e.g., the possible health benefit of free phytosterols in dietary supplements and the minimum daily consumption amount of phytosterols necessary to achieve the claimed effect. We are reviewing the comments and information we received and do not intend to make a determination as to the daily phytosterols consumption amount needed to achieve the claimed effect or the eligibility of dietary supplements containing free phytosterols to bear the authorized health claim until the publication of the final rule. Based on the new data and information currently under our review that may be important, to our 2 FDA received a petition for an administrative stay of action with an embedded citizen petition from Pharmavite LLC (‘‘Pharmavite petition’’) dated February 24, 2011, and a petition for an administrative stay from Botanical Laboratories, Inc. (‘‘Botanical petition’’), dated March 18, 2011 (Docket Nos. FDA–2000–P–0102, FDA–2000–P– 0133, and FDA–2006–P–0033). Specifically, Pharmavite LLC requests FDA to stay its February 18, 2011, decision to discontinue enforcement discretion for dietary supplements containing free phytosterols that have been shown, through an adequate and well-controlled clinical trial, to reduce low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol, pending publication of a final rule for the health claim. In a citizen petition embedded in the petition for an administrative stay, Pharmavite LLC also asked us to agree that: (1) A dietary supplement produced by Pharmavite LLC has been shown to effectively reduce LDL and total cholesterol; (2) FDA will continue to exercise enforcement discretion to permit this dietary supplement to bear an appropriately worded claim pursuant to the 2010 proposed regulation, pending publication of a final rule addressing the health claim; and (3) the final rule will allow those dietary supplements containing free phytosterols that have been shown through an adequate and wellcontrolled clinical trial to effectively reduce LDL and total cholesterol to bear the claim. Botanical Laboratories, Inc., requested that FDA stay its February 18, 2011, decision to discontinue enforcement discretion for dietary supplements containing phytosterols in liquid form until the issuance of a final rule for the health claim. We are currently considering these petitions. This document does not represent a decision on these petitions, in whole or in part. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:13 Feb 17, 2012 Jkt 226001 consideration in deciding what requirements to include in the final rule, and the need to focus FDA’s resources on other public health priorities, we find it appropriate to continue to extend our consideration of the exercise of enforcement discretion for the labeling of foods, including dietary supplements, bearing a health claim regarding phytosterols and risk of CHD consistent with the 2003 letter, until publication of the final rule. Therefore, FDA is extending the period during which it intends to exercise enforcement discretion, consistent with the factors set forth in the 2003 letter, until publication of a final rule for the phytosterols and risk of CHD health claim. This document does not change how FDA intends to consider exercising its enforcement discretion when claims are made consistent with the proposed requirements in the proposed rule. Food, including dietary supplements, bearing the health claim would be required to comply with any revised requirements established in the final rule when the final rule becomes effective.
