ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. AGENCY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) (jointly, we) are announcing the withdrawal of the proposed rule entitled ‘‘General Principles and Food Standards Modernization,’’ which published in the Federal Register of May 20, 2005. FDA and FSIS are taking this action in response to comments received in 2005 and in 2020 after FDA reopened the comment period for the proposed rule. DATES: The proposed rule published May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29214) is withdrawn as of March 1, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29214), FDA and FSIS jointly issued a proposed rule entitled ‘‘Food Standards; General Principles and Food Standards Modernization’’ as a first step in instituting a process to modernize FDA definitions and standards of identity (and standards of quality and fill of container) consistent with section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 341) and FSIS’ definitions and standards of identity or composition under the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 607(c) and 457(b)). The proposed rule included general principles that FDA and FSIS intended to consider when determining whether to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard. FSIS and FDA received more than 30 comments on the proposal. FDA held public meetings in July 2018 on the Nutrition Innovation Strategy (83 FR 30180), and in September 2019 on Horizontal Approaches to Food Standards of Identity Modernization (84 FR 45497). Given how much time had passed since the proposed rule’s publication, stakeholders recommended that FDA reopen the proposed rule’s comment period to allow the public the opportunity to provide data and other information on changes that have occurred in manufacturing, food technology, market trends, and nutrition science that FDA should consider when determining next steps for the proposed rule. In response, FDA reopened the comment period for FDA-specific aspects of the proposed rule, including the 13 general principles, in the Federal Register of February 21, 2020 (85 FR 10107). Many comments in response to the reopening suggested that the general principles be revised and consolidated to make the principles easier to understand and implement. We agree with the comments, and so FDA and FSIS are withdrawing the proposed rule to reconsider how best to approach general principles and food standards modernization to ensure any future revised general principles are consistent with the Federal Meat Inspection Act, PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the FD&C Act.

FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Proposal The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D airspace for Quantico MCAF (Turner Field), Quantico, VA. The Class D airspace would be amended by establishing an extension of airspace extending from the 4-mile radius of the airfield and within a 5.4-mile radius of the airfield extending clockwise from the 168° bearing to the 209° bearing from the airfield. The geographical coordinates of the airfield would be updated to coincide with the FAA’s database and replace the terms Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement in the description. Also, this action would remove Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area for Quantico MCAF (Turner Field), Quantico, VA, as the extensions will be included in the Class D description. The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface would be amended by increasing the radius to 7.7-miles (previously 6.3miles), removing the extension to the south, and removing the BROOKE VORTAC from Class E airspace header and Class E airspace legal description, as it is unnecessary in describing the airspace. Also, the geographical coordinates of the airfield would be updated to coincide with the FAA’s database. Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore: (1) is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact E:\FR\FM\01MRP1.SGM 01MRP1 12872 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 40 / Wednesday, March 1, 2023 / Proposed Rules on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

as it would amend Class D airspace and Class E airspace for Quantico 
MCAF (Turner Field), Quantico, VA, as well as update the geographic 
coordinates of the airport and out-of-date terms. An airspace 
evaluation determined that this action is necessary to support IFR 
operations in the area and will enhance the safety and management of 
controlled airspace within the National Airspace.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class D airspace and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11, 
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document proposes to 
amend the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated 
August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022. These updates would 
be published subsequently in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. 
FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES 
section of this document.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D 
airspace for Quantico MCAF (Turner Field), Quantico, VA. The Class D 
airspace would be amended by establishing an extension of airspace 
extending from the 4-mile radius of the airfield and within a 5.4-mile 
radius of the airfield extending clockwise from the 168[deg] bearing to 
the 209[deg] bearing from the airfield. The geographical coordinates of 
the airfield would be updated to coincide with the FAA's database and 
replace the terms Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and 
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement in the description.
    Also, this action would remove Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to a Class D surface area for Quantico MCAF (Turner Field), 
Quantico, VA, as the extensions will be included in the Class D 
description.
    The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface would be amended by increasing the radius to 7.7-miles 
(previously 6.3-miles), removing the extension to the south, and 
removing the BROOKE VORTAC from Class E airspace header and Class E 
airspace legal description, as it is unnecessary in describing the 
airspace. Also, the geographical coordinates of the airfield would be 
updated to coincide with the FAA's database.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under 
Department of Transportation Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 
11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a 
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since 
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures 
and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when 
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact
