SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
In a notice published in the Federal 
Register of November 24, 2015 (80 FR 
73153), FDA announced that we had filed a food additive petition (animal use) (FAP 2293) submitted by BASF Corp., 100 Park Ave., Florham Park, NJ 07932. The petition proposed that the regulations for food additives permitted 
in feed and drinking water of animals be amended to provide for the safe use of feed grade sodium formate as a feed acidifying agent in complete poultry feeds. 
II. Conclusion 
FDA concludes that the data establish 
the safety and utility of feed grade 
sodium formate for use as a feed acidifying agent in complete poultry feeds and that the food additive regulations should be amended as set forth in this document. 
III. Public Disclosure 
In accordance with § 571.1(h) (21 CFR 
571.1(h)), the petition and the 
documents that we considered and relied upon in reaching our decision to approve the petition will be made available for public disclosure (see 
FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ). As 
provided in § 571.1(h), we will delete from the documents any materials that are not available for public disclosure.

AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT 
FOUNDATION 
22 CFR Part 1506 
RIN 3005–AA00 
Collection of Claims 
AGENCY : U.S. African Development 
Foundation. 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : The U.S. African 
Development Foundation (USADF) is 
revising its regulations on collection of claims in accordance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), as implemented by the Department of Justice (Justice) and the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) in the revised Federal Claims Collection Standards (FCCS). The FCCS prescribes the standards that Federal agencies must use in the administrative collection, offset, compromise, and suspension or termination of collection activity for civil claims of money, funds, or property as defined by law. 
DATES : This final rule is effective 
February 27, 2017. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : June 
B. Brown, 202–233–8882. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
In accordance with the requirements 
of the DCIA and the implementing regulations promulgated by Justice and Treasury at 31 CFR parts 900–904, USADF is revising its regulations to establish procedures for the administrative collection, offset, compromise, suspension and termination of collection activity for civil claims for money, funds, or property, as defined by 31 U.S.C. 3701(b), and the process by which USADF can refer civil claims to Treasury, Treasury-designated debt collection centers, or Justice for 
collection by further administrative action or litigation, as applicable. The regulations do not apply to claims between federal agencies. The rules affect USADF’s debtors. The regulations clarify and prescribe the steps USADF must take before initiating debt collection to ensure that individuals’ rights are protected. These steps include notifying the debtor of the debt and the consequences of failing to resolve the debt. 
II. Section-by-Section Analysis 
Subpart A announces the purpose and 
scope of the regulations, defines terms 
used in Part 1506, and addresses whether USADF can impose sanctions or remedies other than those prescribed in Part 1506, whether USADF will subdivide a claim exceeding $100,000, and how claims involving fraud are processed. 
Subpart B describes the steps 
involved in a collection action, including the information USADF includes in a written demand for payment, a debtor’s request for review of a claim, the determination of interest, penalty and administrative costs, and the reporting and consequences of delinquent debts. 
Subpart C provides for salary offset 
collection procedures, notice and hearing requirements prior to offset, and USADF’s use of offset for claims of another Federal agency. 
Subpart D addresses the compromise 
of debts through reduction or negotiation of the claim amount, joint and several liability on a claim, and releasing the debtor after full payment of a compromised amount. 
Subpart E prescribes the 
circumstances and criteria for USADF to suspend or terminate a collection action. 
Subpart F describes the circumstances 
for USADF to discharge a delinquent debt and reporting a discharge of debt to the Internal Revenue Service. 
Subpart G addresses when USADF 
refers claims to the Department of Justice for litigation. 
Subpart H addresses when USADF is 
required to transfer debts to the Financial Management Service of the Department of the Treasury. 
III. Matters of Regulatory Procedure Executive Order 12866 
The proposed regulations have been 
determined to be non-significant within 
the meaning of Executive Order 12866.
