March 20, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The purpose of this notification is to inform users of an upcoming event related to the GPS satellite constellation. U.S. Air Force Space Command will be testing CNAV capabilities on the GPS L2C and L5 signals on 15-29 June 2013. There are no planned GPS satellite outages for this activity. The broadcast navigation messages will be in compliance with IS-GPS-200 and IS-GPS-705. L2C/L5 CNAV testing will be transparent to GPS receivers that do not process L2C or L5 CNAV. U.S. Air Force Space Command expects to conduct one to two CNAV tests per year over the next few years. These test events will provide an opportunity for civil users and manufacturers to participate in L2C/L5 evaluation and will result in enhanced provider and user readiness for L2C/L5 operations once the Next Generation GPS Operational Control System comes online in 2016. The draft test plan is available at (https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/L2C_ L5_CNAV_Test_Plan.pdf). The draft test plan communicates details of the broadcast, data collection, and results reporting plans. U.S. Air Force Space Command and the National Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Systems Engineering Forum (NPEF) encourage L2C and L5 users and receiver manufacturers to review the test plan, provide comments, and participate in the evaluation process. Comments to the test plan must be submitted on a Comment Resolution Matrix (https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/L2C_L5_CNAV_Test_Plan_Comments_ BLANK.xlsx) by 29 April 2013 and sent to Smcgper@us.af.mil. The final test plan will be posted (https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/L2C_L5_CNAV_ Test_Plan.pdf) once all comments have been adjudicated. All user and manufacturer comments and the resulting adjudications will also be posted (https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/L2C_L5_CNAV_Test_Plan_ Comments.pdf) consistent with the GPS public ICWG process. Any military or civil users who encounter user equipment problems during or after testing should contact the GPS Operations Center (GPSOC) (military), NAVCEN (civil, non-aviation) as soon as possible. Aviation users should file reports consistent with FAA-approved procedures.

The Department of the Navy published a document in the Federal Register on December 10, 2012, announcing an intent to grant to Fiber Optic Sensor Systems Technology Corporation, a revocable, nonassignable, exclusive license. The scope of the intent to license has been revised.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is correcting the preamble to a proposed rule that published in the Federal Register of January 16, 2013. That proposed rule would establish science-based minimum standards for the safe growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce, meaning fruits and vegetables grown for human consumption. FDA proposed these standards as part of our implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. The document published with several technical errors, including some errors in cross references, as well as several errors in reference numbers cited throughout the document. This document corrects those errors. We are also placing a corrected copy of the proposed rule in the docket.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection contained in FDA's regulations on current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) for positron emission tomography (PET) drugs.

The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board) announces the opportunity to file amicus briefs in the matter of Barbara R. King v. Department of the Air Force, MSPB Docket Number DA-0752-09-0604-P-1, currently pending before the Board on interlocutory appeal. The administrative judge certified for interlocutory review the question of whether the provisions of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA), 112 Public Law 199, with regard to damages may be applied retroactively to cases pending prior to its effective date. Of particular relevance in King is the question of the retroactive effect of section 107(b) of the WPEA, which addresses damages available to individuals who have suffered reprisal for protected disclosures or activities. Prior to enactment of the WPEA, the corrective action available to such individuals under the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) included reasonable and foreseeable consequential damages, but not compensatory, or non-pecuniary, damages. See Bohac v. Department of Agriculture, 239 F.3d 1334, 1337-43 (Fed. Cir. 2001). However, under section 107(b) of the WPEA, corrective action may also include ``compensatory damages (including interest, reasonable expert witness fees, and costs).'' Therefore, the Board must determine in King whether to apply the WPEA standard or the WPA standard in determining what corrective action is available in appeals pending prior to the effective date of the WPEA. In King, the appellant's protected disclosures and the agency's retaliatory personnel action occurred in 2009. The appellant filed her initial Board appeal in 2009, and the administrative judge issued an initial decision on October 3, 2012, finding, in relevant part, that the appellant established reprisal for whistleblowing. The initial decision became the final decision of the Board on November 7, 2012, after neither party filed a petition for review. The appellant filed her request for compensatory damages on December 17, 2012. The WPEA was enacted on November 27, 2012, and became effective on December 27, 2012. Interested persons or organizations may submit amicus briefs or other comments on the question presented in King no later than April 12, 2013. Amicus briefs must be filed with the Clerk of the Board. Briefs shall not exceed 30 pages in length. The text shall be double- spaced, except for quotations and footnotes, and the briefs shall be on 8\1/2\ by 11 inch paper with one inch margins on all four sides. All amicus briefs received will be posted on the Board's Web site at www.mspb.gov/SignificantCases.
