Final rule; technical amendment. ACTION: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to remove dairy replacement heifers from the pasture cattle class for which free-choice, loosemineral medicated feeds containing bambermycins are approved. This action is being taken because a level of selenium for inclusion in such feeds has not been established for dairy cattle under the food additive regulation for selenium.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has noticed that the animal drug regulations for bambermycins free-choice, loosemineral Type C medicated feeds for pasture cattle (slaughter, stocker, and feeder cattle; and dairy and beef replacement heifers) specify formulations including trace mineral premixes that include selenium. However, the food additive regulation for selenium in salt-mineral mixtures for free-choice feeding (21 CFR 573.920(c)(3)) does not provide for use in dairy cattle. For this reason, FDA is revising the regulations to remove dairy replacement heifers from the pasture cattle class for which free-choice medicated feeds containing bambermycins are approved. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations. 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.

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. ACTION: Final rule. The Corps of Engineers is amending its regulations for the danger zone in waters of the Pacific Ocean off the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Island of Kauai, Hawaii. The U.S. Navy conducts weapon systems testing and other military testing and training activities at the Pacific Missile Range Facility. The amendment expands the boundaries of pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:31 Dec 13, 2013 Jkt 232001 Pursuant to its authorities in Section 7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the Corps of Engineers is amending the regulations at 33 CFR 334.1390 by expanding the boundaries of the existing permanent danger zone in the waters of the Pacific Ocean off the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Island of Kauai, Hawaii. The proposed rule was published in the July 1, 2013 issue of the Federal Register (78 FR 39198; docket number COE–2013–0007). Comments and statements were received from nine commenters in response to the Federal Register notice and the Corps of Engineers local Public Notice. The majority of the commenters opposed the expansion of the existing danger zone based on concerns that public access to the beach fronting the Pacific Missile Range Facility and the off-shore waters used by waterborne recreationalists, such as surfers, boaters, and fishermen, would be further restricted as a result of the amended danger zone. PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 The expansion of the danger zone boundaries will not increase the frequency with which the danger zone is activated for public safety and military security during range operations, weapon systems testing, other military testing and training activities, increases in force protection, and other mission-essential evolutions. Residents and visitors who typically use these waters off Pacific Missile Range Facility should not see any change in practice; the danger zone will continue to be activated only in limited circumstances and on a temporary basis. The intent of the danger zone is to ensure public access is controlled during the infrequent times of increased force protection, range operations, weapon systems training, and other military testing and training activities to minimize the potential for injury to individuals and property. In addition, the State of Hawaii, Coastal Zone Management Program commented that the proposed federal action to amend the danger zone is subject to federal consistency review under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 and therefore, requires the U.S. Navy to obtain concurrence from the state that the federal activity is consistent with the policies of the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program. The U.S. Navy prepared a federal consistency determination for the proposed federal action and coordinated the document with the State of Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program. In a letter dated September 13, 2013, the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program office concurred with the U.S. Navy’s consistency determination, indicating the proposed activity is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the enforceable policies of the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program. Procedural Requirements a. Review Under Executive Order 12866 This final rule is issued with respect to a military function of the Defense Department and the provisions of Executive Order 12866 do not apply. b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act This final rule has been reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354) which requires the preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis for any regulation that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (i.e., small businesses and small governments).

New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Bambermycins

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal 
drug regulations to remove dairy replacement heifers from the pasture 
cattle class for which free-choice, loose-mineral medicated feeds 
containing bambermycins are approved. This action is being taken 
because a level of selenium for inclusion in such feeds has not been 
established for dairy cattle under the food additive regulation for 
selenium.

DATES: This rule is effective December 16, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amey L. Adams, Center for Veterinary 
Medicine (HFV-120), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., 
Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-8108, email: amey.adams@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has noticed that the animal drug 
regulations for bambermycins free-choice, loose-mineral Type C 
medicated feeds for pasture cattle (slaughter, stocker, and feeder 
cattle; and dairy and beef replacement heifers) specify formulations 
including trace mineral premixes that include selenium. However, the 
food additive regulation for selenium in salt-mineral mixtures for 
free-choice feeding (21 CFR 573.920(c)(3)) does not provide for use in 
dairy cattle. For this reason, FDA is revising the regulations to 
remove dairy replacement heifers from the pasture cattle class for 
which free-choice medicated feeds containing bambermycins are approved. 
This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
    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.
