Notice is hereby given of the following hearing of the U.S.- China Economic and Security Review Commission.

EPA is requesting comment on applications from Hyundai Motor Company (``Hyundai'') and Kia Motors Corporation (``Kia'') for off- cycle carbon dioxide (CO2) credits under EPA's light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas emissions standards. ``Off-cycle'' emission reductions can be achieved by employing technologies that result in real-world benefits, but where that benefit is not adequately captured on the test procedures used by manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with emission standards. EPA's light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas program acknowledges these benefits by giving automobile manufacturers several options for generating ``off-cycle'' CO2 credits. Under the regulations, a manufacturer may apply for CO2 credits for off-cycle technologies that result in off-cycle benefits. In these cases, a manufacturer must provide EPA with a proposed methodology for determining the real-world off-cycle benefit. Hyundai and Kia have submitted applications that describe methodologies for determining off-cycle credits from technologies described in their application. Pursuant to applicable regulations, EPA is making Hyundai's and Kia's off-cycle credit calculation methodologies available for public comment.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing its intention to begin inactivating drug listing records that are improperly listed in accordance with FDA requirements because these drug listings are not certified as being active and up to date or are associated with a manufacturing establishment that is not currently registered with FDA. FDA's regulations governing drug establishment registration and drug listing require registrants to notify FDA if commercial distribution of a listed drug is discontinued. They also require firms to submit drug listing updates if any material changes are made to information previously submitted, including a change in manufacturing establishment(s). FDA has found that listings for many drug products do not comply with these regulations because they have not been updated in over a year, they have not been certified as being up to date, or they identify within the listing information at least one manufacturing establishment that is not currently registered with FDA. Many of the drugs that are the subject of these listings appear to no longer be in commercial distribution. The purpose of this notice is to remind registrants of their legal obligations and announce that, if drug listings are not appropriately updated, certified, or associated with a registered establishment, they will be marked by FDA as ``inactive,'' and the date of inactivation will be added to the listing record. This process will result in the closure of drug records in all public drug listing databases maintained by FDA, including the National Drug Code (NDC) Directory and the NDC SPL Data Elements (NSDE) file, until corrections to the relevant listings are made.
