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,

Amendment of Class D and Class E
Airspace, and Revocation of Class E
Airspace; Quantico, VA
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
This action proposes to
amend Class D airspace, remove Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area, establish a Class D
airspace extension, and amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Quantico
MCAF (Turner Field), Quantico, VA, as
an airspace evaluation determined an
update is necessary. In addition, this
action would remove the Brooke Very
High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range
Collocated Tactical Air (VORTAC) from
the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface in the
legal description, remove the extension
to the south, and increases the radius of
the Class E airspace. This action would
also update the airport’s geographic
coordinates and replace the terms
Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air
Missions and Airport/Facility Directory
with Chart Supplement in the
descriptions.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received on
or before April 17, 2023.
