Criteria and Procedures for Assessment of Civil Penalties, 78749-78750 [2014-30578]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 31, 2014 / Proposed Rules under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). Rather, the requirement to label HCT/Ps in accordance with the proposed rule is a ‘‘public disclosure of information originally supplied by the Federal government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). Therefore, FDA tentatively concludes that these proposed requirements in this document are not subject to review by OMB because they do not constitute a ‘‘collection of information’’ under the PRA. IX. Comments Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding this document to https://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at https:// www.regulations.gov. List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 1271 Biologics, Drugs, Human cells and tissue-based products, Medical devices, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Therefore, under the Public Health Service Act and under the authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, it is proposed that 21 CFR part 1271 be amended as follows: PART 1271—HUMAN CELLS, TISSUES, AND CELLULAR AND TISSUE-BASED PRODUCTS 1. The authority citation for 21 CFR part 1271 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 42 U.S.C. 216, 243, 263a, 264, 271. 2. In § 1271.90: a. Revise the heading; b. Revise paragraphs (a)(3) and (a)(4) by removing ‘‘exempt’’ and by adding in its place ‘‘excepted’’; ■ c. Revise paragraph (a)(4) by removing ‘‘paragraph’’ and by adding in its place ‘‘paragraphs ’’; and by adding ‘‘(a)(1) and’’ before ‘‘(a)(2)’’; ■ d. Redesignate paragraph (b) as paragraph (c); ■ e. Add a new paragraph (b); ■ f. Revise newly designated paragraph (c) by removing ‘‘paragraph’’ and by adding in its place ‘‘paragraphs’’ and by adding ‘‘and (b)’’ after ‘‘(a)’’ in the introductory text; tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS ■ ■ ■ VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:21 Dec 30, 2014 Jkt 235001 g. Revise newly designated paragraph (c)(2) by removing ‘‘(b)(6)’’ and by adding in its place ‘‘(c)(6)’’; and ■ h. Revise newly designated paragraph (c)(6) by adding ‘‘recovery or’’ before ‘‘cryopreservation’’. The revisions read as follows: ■ § 1271.90 Are there other exceptions and what labeling requirements apply? (a) * * * (3) Cryopreserved cells or tissue for reproductive use, other than embryos, originally excepted under paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section at the time of donation, that are subsequently intended for directed donation, provided that * * * * * (4) A cryopreserved embryo, originally excepted under paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section at the time of cryopreservation, that is subsequently intended for directed or anonymous donation. When possible, appropriate measures should be taken to screen and test the semen and oocyte donors before transfer of the embryo to the recipient. (b) Exceptions for Reproductive Use. An embryo originally intended for reproductive use for a specific individual or couple that is subsequently intended for directed or anonymous donation for reproductive use is excepted from the prohibition on use under § 1271.45(c) even when the applicable donor eligibility requirements under part 1271, subpart C are not met. Nothing in this paragraph creates an exception for deficiencies that occurred in making the donor eligibility determination for either the oocyte donor or the semen donor as required under § 1271.45(b), or for deficiencies in performing donor screening or testing, as required under §§ 1271.75, 1271.80, and 1271.85. (c) Required labeling. As applicable, you must prominently label an HCT/P described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section as follows: (1) * * * (2) ‘‘NOT EVALUATED FOR INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCES,’’ unless you have performed all otherwise applicable screening and testing under §§ 1271.75, 1271.80, and 1271.85. This paragraph does not apply to reproductive cells or tissue labeled in accordance with paragraph (c)(6) of this section. * * * * * (6) ‘‘Advise recipient that screening and testing of the donor(s) were not performed at the time of recovery or cryopreservation of the reproductive cells or tissue, but have been performed PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 78749 subsequently,’’ for paragraphs (a)(3) or (a)(4) of this section. * * * * * ■ 3.

enforcement issues. The proposal would place a greater emphasis on the 
more serious safety and health conditions and provide improved safety 
and health for miners. MSHA is also proposing alternatives that would 
address the scope and applicability of its civil penalty regulation.
