(c) Pass-through balances. A passthrough correspondent that is an eligible
institution may pass back to its
respondent interest paid on balances
maintained to satisfy a reserve balance
requirement of that respondent. In the
case of balances maintained by a passthrough correspondent that is not an
eligible institution, a Reserve Bank may
pay interest only on the balances
maintained to satisfy a reserve balance
requirement of one or more respondents
up to the top of the penalty-free band,
and the correspondent shall pass back to
its respondents interest paid on
balances in the correspondent’s account.
(d) * * *
(5) Interest on balances of eligible
institutions maintained in an excess
balance account is the amount equal to
the IOER rate in effect each day
multiplied by the total balances
maintained on that day for each day of
the maintenance period.
*

*
*
(f) Procedure for determination of
rates. The Board anticipates that notice
and public participation with respect to
changes in the rate or rates of interest to
be paid under this section will generally
be impracticable, unnecessary, contrary
to the public interest, or otherwise not
required in the public interest, and that
there will generally be reason and good
cause in the public interest why the
effective date should not be deferred for
30 days. The reason or reasons in such
cases are generally expected to include
that such notice, public participation, or
deferment of effective date would
prevent the action from becoming
effective as promptly as necessary in the
public interest, would permit
speculators or others to reap unfair
profits or to interfere with the Board’s
actions taken with a view to
accommodating commerce and business
and with regard to their bearing upon
the general credit situation of the
country, would provoke other
consequences contrary to the public
interest, would not aid the persons
affected, or would otherwise serve no
useful purpose.
By order of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, June 17, 2015.

Secretary of the Board.

History
On April 29, 2015, the FAA published
a final rule, technical amendment in the
Federal Register amending Class D
airspace at Martin State Airport,
Baltimore, MD. (80 FR 23709). After
publication, the FAA found that the title
was incorrectly typed as Proposed
Amendment of Class E Airspace,
Baltimore, MD, instead of Amendment
of Class D Airspace, Baltimore, Martin
State Airport, MD. This action makes
the correction. Also, in the regulatory
text, the airport designation is corrected
to AEA D MD Baltimore, Martin State
Airport, MD; and references to AGL is
corrected to MSL.
The Class D airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA
Order 7400.9Y, dated August 9, 2014,
and effective September 15, 2014, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D airspace designation
listed in this document will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In a notice published in the Federal
Register of October 20, 2010 (75 FR
64733), FDA announced that a food
additive petition (animal use) (FAP
2267) had been filed by Arcadia
Biosciences, Inc., 202 Cousteau Pl., suite
105, Davis, CA 95618. The petition
proposed to amend the food additive
regulations to provide for the safe use of
seed meal from a variety of
bioengineered safflower (Carthamus
tinctorius L.) in cattle and poultry feeds.
The safflower variety has been
bioengineered to contain a gene from
the water mold Saprolegnia diclina
responsible for production of gammalinolenic acid in the seed oil. Seed
meals are the ground residues obtained
after processing seeds to extract their oil
and are a common ingredient in
livestock feed. The notice of filing
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:04 Jun 19, 2015

provided for a 30-day comment period
on the petitioner’s environmental
assessment.
II. Conclusion
FDA concludes that the data establish
the safety and utility of gamma-linolenic
acid safflower meal for use as proposed
and that the food additive regulations
should be amended as set forth in this
document.
III. Public Disclosure
In accordance with § 571.1(h) (21 CFR
571.1(h)), the petition and documents
we considered and relied upon in
reaching our decision to approve the
petition will be made available for
public disclosure (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT). As provided in
§ 571.1(h), we will delete from the
documents any materials that are not
available for public disclosure.
IV. Environmental Impact
The Agency has carefully considered
the potential environmental impact of
this action and has concluded that the
action will not have a significant impact
on the human environment and that an
environmental impact statement is not
required. FDA’s finding of no significant
impact and the evidence supporting that
finding, contained in an environmental
assessment, may be seen in the Division
of Dockets Management (address above)
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday.

written objections. Each objection shall
be separately numbered, and each
numbered objection shall specify with
particularity the provision of the
regulation to which objection is made
and the grounds for the objection. Each
numbered objection on which a hearing

obtained after the removal of most of the
oil from whole seeds or partially
dehulled seeds or both obtained from a
Carthamus tinctorius L. safflower
Centennial variety genetically
engineered to express the delta-6desaturase gene from Saprolegnia
diclina Humphrey. The 453 amino acid,
delta-6-desaturase enzyme converts the
fatty acid linoleic acid to gammalinolenic acid during seed development.
The resulting additive may be safely
used in cattle and poultry feeds in
accordance with the following
prescribed conditions:
(a) The additive shall contain not less
than 20 percent crude protein, not more
than 40 percent crude fiber, not more
than 10 percent moisture, and not more
than 2 percent crude fat.
