Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Gases; Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a revised draft guidance for industry entitled ``Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Gases.'' This guidance is intended to assist manufacturers of medical gases in complying with applicable current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations. Compliance with applicable CGMP requirements helps to ensure the safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity of medical gases. Medical gases that are not manufactured, produced, processed, packed, or held according to applicable CGMP requirements can cause serious injury or death. This guidance is expected to reduce the regulatory compliance burden for the medical gas industry by providing clear, up-to-date, detailed recommendations regarding CGMP issues that have been the subject of industry questions.

Approval of Missouri's Air Quality Implementation Plans; Reporting Emission Data, Emission Fees and Process Information
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve revisions to the Operating Permits Program for the State of Missouri submitted on March 16, 2015.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office or USPTO) amends its rules regarding petitions to revive an abandoned trademark application and petitions to the Director of the USPTO (Director) regarding other trademark matters and to codify USPTO practice regarding requests for reinstatement of abandoned trademark applications and cancelled or expired trademark registrations.

Airworthiness Directives; Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. Model P-180 airplanes. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as disbonding of the upper and lower metal skin from the honeycomb core on the elevator assembly and other flight control surfaces. We are issuing this proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine the Collin County Lead (Pb) Nonattainment Area (comprising the part of Collin County bounded to the north by latitude 33.153 North, to the east by longitude 96.822 West, to the south by latitude 33.131 North, and to the West by longitude 96.837 West, which surrounds the Exide Technologies property), hereinafter referenced to as Non- Attainment Area or NAA, as attainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. We are also proposing to approve two SIP revision requests made by the TCEQ in 2009 and 2012. These two requests include one made in 2009 requesting approval of the state's second 10-year maintenance plan for the 1978 Pb National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and one made in 2012 to approve the state's plan to demonstrate compliance with the 2008 Pb NAAQS.

The details of all three proposals, and our complete analysis of the requirements for each and how the state's submission meets those requirements can be found in the accompanying direct final notice and technical support document (TSD) to this proposal. The TSD is available in the docket at https:// www.regulations.gov, Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-2009-0750.
