Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food; Correction, 3956 [2016-01092]

Download as PDF 3956 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 15 / Monday, January 25, 2016 / Rules and Regulations identified the application of SBA’s size standards as well as other size standards used by Federal agencies (60 FR 57988 (November 24, 1995)). SBA is not aware of any Federal rule that would duplicate or conflict with establishing size standards. However, the Small Business Act and SBA’s regulations allow Federal agencies to develop different size standards if they believe that SBA’s size standards are not appropriate for their programs, with the approval of SBA’s Administrator (13 CFR 121.903). The SBA’s regulations (13 CFR 121.903(c)) authorize an agency to establish an alternative small business definition for the sole purpose of performing a regulatory flexibility analysis pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(3)), after consultation with the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration. 5. What alternatives will allow the Agency to accomplish its regulatory objectives while minimizing the impact on small entities? By law, SBA is required to develop numerical size standards for establishing eligibility for Federal small business assistance programs. Other than varying size standards by industry and changing the size measures, no practical alternative exists to the systems of numerical size standards. SBA’s only other consideration was whether to adopt the size standards presented in the interim final rule with no further increase for the inflation. However, SBA believes that the inflation that has occurred since the publication of the June 12, 2014 interim final rule is not sufficient to warrant an additional increase at this time.

PART 121—SMALL BUSINESS SIZE REGULATIONS For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the interim rule amending 13 CFR part 121, which was published at 79 FR 33647 on June 12, 2014, is adopted as a final rule without change. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES ■ Dated: January 12, 2016.

facilities that are required to register under the Federal Food, Drug, 
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to establish and implement hazard 
analysis and risk-based preventive controls for human food. That final 
rule also revised certain definitions in our current regulation for

from registration requirements provided by the FD&C Act for ``farms.'' 
The final rule published with some editorial and inadvertent errors.
