mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
(d) Reason
This AD was prompted by several
incidents of compressor turbine (CT) blade
failure, including two fatalities, resulting in
power loss and in-flight shutdown (IFSD) of
the engine. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of CT blades, which could lead to
damage to the engine or to the airplane.
(e) Actions and Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(1) Within 150 operating hours after the
effective date of this AD, perform a borescope
inspection (BSI) of CT blades for engines
with 500 or more hours time since new (TSN)
that have not been previously inspected, or
more than 500 flight hours time since last
inspection (TSLI).
(2) Thereafter, repeat the inspection in
paragraph (e)(1) of this AD within every
additional 500 flight hours TSLI.
(3) During the next hot section inspection
(HSI) after the effective date of this AD,
replace the complete set of CT blades with
blades eligible for installation.
(4) If CT blades listed in paragraphs (g)(1)
or (g)(2) of this AD, are installed to comply
with paragraph (e)(3) of this AD, you must
still comply with the 500-hour TSLI
repetitive inspection requirement of
paragraph (e)(2) of this AD.
(f) Optional Terminating Action
Replacing all CT blades with new CT
blades, P/N 3072791–01, and Disk Balance
Assembly, P/N 3072801–01; or with new CT
blades, P/N 3072791–02, and Disk Balance
Assembly, P/N 3072801–02; is terminating
action for this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section A. Background
On October 20, 1999, the Commission
issued its final Rule 1 pursuant to the
Children’s Online Privacy Protection
Act, 15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq., which
became effective on April 21, 2000.2 On
December 19, 2012, the Commission
amended the Rule, and these
amendments became effective on July 1,
2013.3 The Rule requires certain Web
site operators to post privacy policies
and provide notice, and to obtain
verifiable parental consent, prior to
collecting, using, or disclosing personal
information from children under the age
of 13. The Rule enumerates methods for
obtaining verifiable parental consent,
while also allowing an interested party
to file a written request for Commission
approval of parental consent methods
not currently enumerated.4 To be
considered, the party must submit a
detailed description of the proposed
parental consent method, together with
an analysis of how the method meets
the requirements for parental consent
described in 16 CFR 312.5(b)(1).
AssertID, Imperium, and iVeriFly have
submitted proposed parental consent
methods to the Commission for
approval. The Rule also contains a ‘‘safe
harbor’’ provision enabling industry
groups or others to submit to the
Commission for approval self-regulatory
guidelines that would implement the
Rule’s protections.5 Pursuant to that
provision, kidSAFE has submitted
proposed self-regulatory guidelines to
the Commission for approval. The full
text of the verifiable parental consent
method applications and kidSAFE’s
proposed guidelines are available on the
Commission’s Web site at www.ftc.gov.
The Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Rule provides that the
Commission shall issue a written
determination within 120 days of the
filing of an application for approval of
a verifiable parental consent method.6
Because of the federal government
shutdown, which began on October 1,
2013, the Commission was unable to

determinations on the applications. The
federal government re-opened on
October 17, 2013. In order to ensure that
it can give full consideration to the
applications submitted by AssertID,
Imperium, and iVeriFly, the
Commission has determined to extend
the timetable laid out in 16 CFR
312.12(a) by sixteen days in order to
account for the time period in which the
government was shut down.
Accordingly, the Commission will issue
its determination for AssertID by
November 13, 2013; for Imperium by
December 26, 2013; and for iVeriFly by
February 4, 2014.
In addition, during the time when the
government was shut down, interested
parties were unable to submit comments
on Imperium’s application for approval
of a parental consent method or on
kidSAFE’s proposed self-regulatory
guidelines. The Commission has
decided to extend the comment period
for both matters until November 4, 2013.
Section B. Invitation To Comment

I. Background
FSMA (Pub. L. 111–353) was signed
into law by President Obama on January
4, 2011, to better protect public health
by helping to ensure the safety and
security of the food supply. FSMA
amends the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to
establish the foundation of a
modernized, prevention-based food
safety system. Among other things,
FSMA requires FDA to issue regulations
requiring preventive controls for human
food and animal food, set standards for
produce safety, and require importers to
have a program to verify that the food
products they bring into the United
States are produced in a manner
consistent with applicable FDA food
safety requirements.
FSMA was the first major legislative
reform of FDA’s food safety authorities
in more than 70 years, even though FDA
has increased the focus of its food safety
efforts on prevention over the past
several years. The proposed rule for
preventive controls for food for animals
can be found elsewhere in this issue of
the Federal Register, and it establishes
a docket so that the public can review
the proposed rule and submit comments
to FDA. This proposed rulemaking is
one of several key proposals in
furtherance of FSMA’s food safety
mandate.
The proposed rule would establish
regulations regarding the
manufacturing, processing, packing, or
holding of animal food in two ways.
First, it would create new current good
manufacturing practice (CGMP)
regulations that specifically address the
manufacturing, processing, packing, and
holding of animal food. Second, it
would include new preventive control
provisions intended to implement
section 103 of FSMA for animal food. In
general, with some exceptions the new
preventive control provisions would
apply to animal food facilities that are
required to register with FDA under the
FD&C Act. These preventive controls
would include requirements for covered
facilities to maintain a food safety plan,
perform a hazard analysis, and institute
preventive controls for the mitigation of
those hazards. Facilities would also be
required to monitor their controls, verify

Rule
AGENCY:

HHS.
ACTION:
Notification of public meeting.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or we) is
announcing three public meetings to
discuss the proposed rule to establish
requirements for current good
manufacturing practice and hazard
analysis and risk-based preventive
controls for animal food. This proposed
rule is one of several proposed rules that
will establish the foundation of, and
central framework for, the modern food
safety system envisioned by Congress in
the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA). The purpose of the public
meetings is to inform the public of the
provisions of the proposed rule and the
rulemaking process (including how to
submit comments, data, and other
information to the rulemaking docket)
as well as solicit oral stakeholder and
public comments on the proposed rule
and to respond to questions about the
proposed rule.

that they were effective, take
appropriate corrective actions, and
maintain records documenting these
actions.
For information on the proposed rule
for preventive controls for food for
animals and related fact sheets, see
FDA’s FSMA Web page located at
www.fda.gov/FSMA.
II. How To Participate in the Public
Meetings
FDA is holding the public meetings
on the proposed rule for preventive
controls for food for animals to inform
the public about the proposed rule and
the rulemaking process, including how
to submit comments, data, and other
information to the rulemaking docket; to
respond to questions about the proposed
rule; and to provide an opportunity for
interested persons to make oral
presentations. Due to limited space and
time, FDA encourages all persons who
wish to attend the meetings to register
in advance. There is no fee to register
for the public meetings, and registration
will be on a first-come, first-served
basis. Early registration is recommended
because seating is limited. Onsite
registration will be accepted, as space
permits, after all preregistered attendees
are seated.
Those requesting an opportunity to
make an oral presentation during the
time allotted for public comment at the
meeting are asked to submit a request
and to provide the specific topic or
issue to be addressed. Due to the
anticipated high level of interest in
presenting public comment and limited
time available, FDA is allocating 3
minutes to each speaker to make an oral
presentation. Speakers will be limited to
making oral remarks; there will not be
an opportunity to display materials such
as slide shows, videos, or other media
during the meeting. If time permits,
individuals or organizations that did not
register in advance may be granted the
opportunity to make an oral
presentation. FDA would like to
maximize the number of individuals
who make a presentation at the meeting
and will do our best to accommodate all
persons who wish to make a
presentation or express their opinions at
the meeting.
FDA encourages persons and groups
who have similar interests to
consolidate their information for
presentation by a single representative.
After reviewing the presentation
requests, FDA will notify each
participant before the meeting of the
approximate time their presentation is
scheduled to begin, and remind them of
the presentation format (i.e., 3-minute
oral presentation without visual media).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section A. Background
On October 20, 1999, the Commission issued its final Rule \1\
pursuant to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C.
6501 et seq., which became effective on April 21, 2000.\2\ On December
19, 2012, the Commission amended the Rule, and these amendments became
effective on July 1, 2013.\3\ The Rule requires certain Web site
operators to post privacy policies and provide notice, and to obtain
verifiable parental consent, prior to collecting, using, or disclosing
personal information from children under the age of 13. The Rule
enumerates methods for obtaining verifiable parental consent, while
also allowing an interested party to file a written request for
Commission approval of parental consent methods not currently
enumerated.\4\ To be considered, the party must submit a detailed
description of the proposed parental consent method, together with an
analysis of how the method meets the requirements for parental consent
described in 16 CFR 312.5(b)(1). AssertID, Imperium, and iVeriFly have
submitted proposed parental consent methods to the Commission for
approval. The Rule also contains a ``safe harbor'' provision enabling
industry groups or others to submit to the Commission for approval
self-regulatory guidelines that would implement the Rule's
protections.\5\ Pursuant to that provision, kidSAFE has submitted
proposed self-regulatory guidelines to the Commission for approval. The
full text of the verifiable parental consent method applications and
kidSAFE's proposed guidelines are available on the Commission's Web
site at www.ftc.gov.

method.\6\ Because of the federal government shutdown, which began on
October 1, 2013, the Commission was unable to review comments and
prepare determinations on the applications. The federal government re-
opened on October 17, 2013. In order to ensure that it can give full
consideration to the applications submitted by AssertID, Imperium, and
iVeriFly, the Commission has determined to extend the timetable laid
out in 16 CFR 312.12(a) by sixteen days in order to account for the
time period in which the government was shut down. Accordingly, the
Commission will issue its determination for AssertID by November 13,
2013; for Imperium by December 26, 2013; and for iVeriFly by February
4, 2014.

In addition, during the time when the government was shut down,
interested parties were unable to submit comments on Imperium's
application for approval of a parental consent method or on kidSAFE's
proposed self-regulatory guidelines. The Commission has decided to
extend the comment period for both matters until November 4, 2013.

If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for
confidential treatment, and follow the procedure explained in FTC Rule

\5\ In particular, the written request for confidential
treatment that accompanies the comment must include the factual and
legal basis for the request, and must identify the specific portions
