Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Premarket Tobacco Product Applications for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems.’’ On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) (Pub. L. 111–31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act amended the FD&C Act and granted FDA authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. Under section 901(b) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387a(b)), FDA’s tobacco product authorities in chapter IX of the FD&C Act apply to all cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco and to any other tobacco products that the Secretary of Health and Human Services by regulation deems to be subject to chapter IX. On May 10, 2016, in the Federal Register, FDA published its final rule, ‘‘Deeming Tobacco Products VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:04 Jun 11, 2019 Jkt 247001 To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; Restrictions on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products’’ (Deeming rule) extending FDA’s tobacco product authority to ENDS, among other products (81 FR 28973). In the same issue of the Federal Register, FDA concurrently announced the availability of the draft guidance, ‘‘Premarket Tobacco Product Applications for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, Draft Guidance for Industry; Availability; Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request’’ (81 FR 28781). FDA received comments on the draft guidance and those comments were considered as the guidance was finalized. Changes made as a result of public comments include recommendations for constituent testing, single applications for new tobacco products that an applicant intends to market as a modified risk tobacco product, and the number batches and replicates related to product testing. Under section 910 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387j), persons seeking to market a new tobacco product (as defined in section 910(a)(1) of the FD&C Act) must first submit a PMTA to FDA and obtain a marketing authorization order, unless FDA has issued an order that the new tobacco product is substantially equivalent to a tobacco product commercially marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007, or the new tobacco product is exempt from demonstrating substantial equivalence pursuant to the reasons outlined in section 905(j)(3) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 387e(j)(3)). ENDS products, the subject of this guidance, likely would be considered new tobacco products. Given the relatively new presence of ENDS on the U.S. market, FDA anticipates that many manufacturers of these new tobacco products will seek a marketing authorization order by filing a PMTA. This guidance explains, among other things, when a PMTA is required, general procedures for review of an ENDS PMTA, what information the FD&C Act requires applicants to submit in a PMTA, and what information FDA recommends applicants submit in an ENDS PMTA to show whether permitting such new tobacco product to be marketed is appropriate for the protection of the public health.

The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on PMTAs for ENDS. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866. III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR 1107.1 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0768. IV.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving two state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the District of Columbia (the District). Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), states’ SIPs must require stationary sources in ozone nonattainment areas to report annual emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The District formally submitted, as a SIP revision, a statement certifying that the District’s existing SIP-approved emissions statements program satisfies these CAA requirements for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Upon review of the District’s submittal, EPA noted minor discrepancies between the District’s SIPapproved provisions, including the provision containing the District’s emissions statements requirements, and the current edition of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR) referenced in the District’s submittal. Therefore, to correct these minor discrepancies and update the District’s SIP, the District also formally submitted a revised edition of the sections of the DCMR which addresses the discrepancies. EPA is proposing to approve the District’s SIP with the current edition of these SIP-approved provisions. EPA is also proposing to approve the District’s emissions statements program certification for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. EPA is proposing to approve these SIP revisions in accordance with the requirements of the CAA. DATES: This final rule is effective on July 12, 2019.

Background Under the CAA, EPA establishes NAAQS for criteria pollutants in order to protect human health and the environment. In response to scientific evidence linking ozone exposure to adverse health effects, EPA promulgated the first ozone NAAQS, the 0.12 parts per million (ppm) 1-hour ozone NAAQS, in 1979. See 44 FR 8202 (February 8, 1979). The CAA requires EPA to review and reevaluate the NAAQS every five years in order to consider updated information regarding the effects of the criteria pollutants on human health and the environment. On July 18, 1997, EPA promulgated a revised ozone NAAQS, referred to as the 1997 ozone NAAQS, of 0.08 ppm averaged over eight hours. See 62 FR 38855. This 8-hour ozone NAAQS was determined to be more protective of public health than the previous 1979 1hour ozone NAAQS. In 2008, EPA strengthened the 8-hour ozone NAAQS from 0.08 to 0.075 ppm. The 0.075 ppm standard is referred to as the 2008 ozone NAAQS. See 73 FR 16436 (March 27, 2008). On May 21, 2012 and June 11, 2012, EPA designated nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. 77 FR 30088 and 77 FR 34221. Effective July 20, 2012, the Washington, DC–MD–VA area was designated as marginal nonattainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The Washington, DC–MD–VA marginal nonattainment area includes the District of Columbia. 40 CFR 81.309. Section 182 of the CAA identifies additional plan submissions and requirements for ozone nonattainment areas. Specifically, section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires that states develop and submit, as a revision to their SIP, E:\FR\FM\12JNR1.SGM 12JNR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been determined that publication of 
this CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, 
and contrary to public interest since it is removing obsolete 
information. This rule implemented the Wildfire Suppression Aircraft 
Transfer Act of 1996. The law authorized DoD, during the period October 
1996 through September 2005, to sell aircraft and aircraft parts to 
entities that contract with the Federal government for the delivery of 
fire retardant by air in order to suppress wildfire. This authorization 
was extended from October 2012 through September 2017, but it has since 
expired. Existing authorities in 10 U.S. Code 2576--Surplus military 
equipment: Sale to state and local law enforcement, firefighting, 
homeland security, and emergency management agencies, allow the sale or 
transfer of aircraft and aircraft parts to Fire Fighter Agencies. This 
part is obsolete and unnecessary.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, the requirements of E.O. 
13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' do not 
apply.
