SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In the Federal Register of June 11, 2010 (75 FR 33311), FDA announced the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Bioequivalence Recommendations for Specific Products,’’ which explained the process that would be used to make productspecific guidances available to the public on FDA’s website at https:// www.fda.gov/drugs/guidancecompliance-regulatory-information/ guidances-drugs. As described in that guidance, FDA adopted this process to develop and PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59805 disseminate product-specific guidances and to provide a meaningful opportunity for the public to consider and comment on the guidances. This notice announces the availability of a draft guidance on a generic cannabidiol oral solution. FDA initially approved new drug application 210365 for EPIDIOLEX (cannabidiol) in September 2018. We are now issuing draft guidance for industry on BE recommendations for generic cannabidiol oral solution (‘‘Draft Guidance for Cannabidiol’’). The draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on the information and data to demonstrate BE to support ANDAs for cannabidiol oral solution. 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. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 FDA tentatively concludes that this draft guidance contains no collection of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 is not required. III. Electronic Access Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ GuidanceCompliance RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ default.htm or https:// www.regulations.gov.

ACTION: Request for public comment. AGENCY: HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) has sought to identify clear, consistent, and datadriven methods of defining rural areas in the United States. FORHP uses the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s list of counties designated as part of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) as the basis for determining eligibility to apply for or receive services funded by its rural health grant programs. FORHP designates all counties that are not part of a MSA as ‘‘rural’’ and eligible for rural health grant funding or services. In addition, FORHP designates census tracts within MSAs as rural for grant purposes using Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) codes. FORHP is proposing modifications to how it designates areas to be eligible for its rural health grant programs so that community organizations serving rural populations within MSAs will be able to apply for khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:59 Sep 22, 2020 Jkt 250001 resources and allow more of the rural populations within MSAs to access services provided using grant funds. This notice seeks comments on the proposed methodology for designating areas eligible for rural health grant programs. Submit written comments no later than October 23, 2020. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to ruralpolicy@hrsa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Hirsch, Public Health Analyst FORHP, HRSA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, Phone number: (301) 443–0835 or Email: ruralpolicy@ hrsa.gov. DATES: FORHP was authorized by Congress in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, Public Law 100–203, codified at 42 U.S.C. 912, and located in HRSA. Congress charged FORHP with informing and advising the Department of Health and Human Services on matters affecting rural hospitals and health care and coordinating activities within the Department that relate to rural health care. Since the 1990s, FORHP has also issued grants for programs of innovative models of health care delivery in rural areas. Historically, applicant organizations for these grants, authorized under Section 330A of the Public Health Service Act, were required to be located in rural areas. However, when the programs were recently reauthorized under Section 4214 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act the requirement was amended to allow organizations to apply that are located in urban areas but serve rural areas. Historically, there have been two principal definitions of ‘‘rural’’ that were in use by the Federal Government: the Census Bureau definition (https:// www.census.gov/programs-surveys/ geography/guidance/geo-areas/urbanrural.html) and the OMB definition (https://www.census.gov/programssurveys/metro-micro.html). Neither definition defined ‘‘rural’’ directly, but rather defined ‘‘urban’’ areas and then designated locations that do not meet the ‘‘urban’’ definition as ‘‘rural.’’ In the early 1990s, the Census Bureau defined ‘‘rural’’ as all areas that were not part of an urbanized area (UA) or were not part of an incorporated area of at least 2,500 persons. UAs were defined as densely settled areas with a total population of at least 50,000 people. The building block of UAs is the census block, a sub-unit of census tracts. The Census Bureau introduced the urban cluster (UC) concept for the 2000 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Census. UCs are defined based on the same criteria as UAs, but represent areas containing at least 2,500 but fewer than 50,000 people. Both UAs and UCs use 500 persons per square mile as their minimum density criterion. The other major federal definition was based on the OMB’s list of counties that are designated as part of a MSA. All counties that were not designated as a part of a MSA were considered ‘‘rural’’ or, more accurately, non-metropolitan. MSAs, in 1990, had to include ‘‘a city of 50,000 or more population,’’ or ‘‘a Census Bureau defined urbanized area of at least 50,000 population, provided that the component county/counties of the MSA have a total population of at least 100,000.’’ At that time, around three quarters of all counties in the United States were non-metropolitan and not classified as parts of MSAs. After the 2000 Census, OMB also began to classify counties using a smaller urban core. The concept of a Micropolitan statistical area closely parallels that of the MSA, but a Micropolitan statistical area is based on an urban core with a population of 10,000 through 49,999 and Micropolitan counties are still considered nonmetropolitan. As currently classified, OMB builds both MSAs and Micropolitan Statistical Areas around a central county, or counties, which contains an urban core. Surrounding counties can be designated as part of the Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) based on the presence of core population and/or the commuting patterns of the working population. A county may be included in only one CBSA. A county qualifies as a central county of a CBSA if it meets the following requirements: (a) Has at least 50 percent of the population in urban areas of at least 10,000 population; or (b) Has within the boundaries a population of at least 5,000 located in a single urban area of at least 10,000 population. Since urban areas are not defined by administrative boundaries, such as city limits or county borders, they can extend into one or more counties as long as the population density criterion (a minimum of 500 people per square mile) is met. A county qualifies as an outlying county of a CBSA if it meets the following commuting requirements: (a) At least 25 percent of the workers living in the county work in the central county or counties of the CBSA; or (b) At least 25 percent of the employment in the county is accounted E:\FR\FM\23SEN1.SGM 23SEN1
