The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of final guidance for industry (GFI) #261 entitled ``Eligibility Criteria for Expanded Conditional Approval of New Animal Drugs.'' This guidance is intended for sponsors and potential sponsors who may be interested in pursuing conditional approval of new animal drugs for certain major uses in major species. Eligibility for conditional approval has been expanded beyond minor uses in major species and use in minor species (MUMS) to include certain major uses in major species. The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM or we) refers to the process for conditionally approving new animal drugs that are not intended for MUMS indications as ``expanded conditional approval.'' The purpose of expanded conditional approval is to incentivize development of new animal drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions or unmet animal or human health needs under circumstances where a demonstration of effectiveness would require a complex or particularly difficult study or studies. This guidance defines certain terms, clarifies the eligibility criteria for expanded conditional approval, and describes the criteria CVM intends to consider when determining expanded conditional approval eligibility.

On July 27, 2021, EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) will hold a public meeting to engage with interested stakeholders on the development of a proposed rule for implementing a tiered data collection strategy to help inform the Agency's prioritization, risk evaluation, and risk management activities for chemical substances or mixtures under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Currently, EPA primarily collects exposure-related data through the TSCA Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) process. EPA is interested in ensuring that data collection strategies provide information to better meet the Agency's basic chemical data needs, such as information related to exposure, health, and eco- toxicity. To this end, EPA is exploring a data reporting rule that is tiered to specific stages of the TSCA existing chemicals program: Identifying a pool of substances as potential candidates for prioritization, Selecting candidate chemicals for and completing the prioritization process, and Assessing high-priority substances through a robust risk evaluation, which may be followed by risk management actions (depending on the outcome of the risk evaluation). Feedback from the public meeting and comments received will help inform the Agency's development of a proposed rule.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 A-1, MBB-BK 117 A- 3, MBB-BK 117 A-4, MBB-BK 117 B-1, MBB-BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of sudden severe vibrations and a cracked open blade trailing edge caused by a loosened lead inner weight. This AD requires inspections to determine if any bolted main rotor blades are installed, and replacement of the affected main rotor blades. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
