We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) PW4074, PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by the discovery of multiple cracked outer diffuser cases. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections to detect cracks in the outer diffuser case and removal from service of cases that fail inspection. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

In a final rule published on January 19, 2017, federal departments and agencies listed in this document made revisions to the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) adopted the same regulatory changes in a separate final rule published on September 18, 2017. The revised policy, reflected in both final rules, is described here as the ``2018 Requirements.'' The 2018 Requirements are scheduled to become effective on January 19, 2018, with a general compliance date of January 19, 2018 (with the exception of the revisions to the cooperative research provision). This interim final rule delays the effective date and general compliance date of the 2018 Requirements to July 19, 2018. The federal departments and agencies listed in this document are in the process of developing a proposed rule to further delay implementation of the 2018 Requirements. The limited implementation delay accomplished by this interim final rule both provides additional time to regulated entities for the preparations necessary to implement the 2018 Requirements, and additional time for the departments and agencies listed in this document to seek input from interested stakeholders through a notice and comment rulemaking process that allows for public engagement on the proposal for a further implementation delay.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) has determined the regulatory review period for PERCEVAL SUTURELESS HEART VALVE and is publishing this notice of that determination as required by law.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is reopening the comment period for the document published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2017, announcing a public hearing on a potential approach for device sponsors who seek to obtain marketing authorization for their products that are intended for a new use with an approved, marketed drug when the sponsor for the approved, marketed drug does not wish to pursue or collaborate on the new use. In the document, in addition to seeking comments on the potential approach, FDA also welcomed comments on public health, scientific, regulatory, or legal considerations relating to other medical products intended for new uses with approved, marketed medical products of a different type where the sponsor for the approved, marketed product does not wish to pursue or collaborate on the new use. We are reopening the comment period in response to a request for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments.
