The regulations in Title 9, Code of Federal Regulations (9 CFR), parts 101 through 118 (referred to below as the regulations), contain provisions implementing the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act, as amended (21 U.S.C. 151–159). The regulations in 9 CFR part 124 contain procedural requirements for patent extensions for veterinary biologics under 35 U.S.C. 156. In accordance with the procedures explained below under ‘‘Dates, ’’ this final rule makes several nonsubstantive technical changes to those regulations to update their provisions. Specifically:

∑ We will amend the addresses throughout the regulations to reflect the relocation of the Center for Veterinary Biologics to new facilities in Ames, IA.

∑ We will amend 9 CFR part 102, § 102.3(b)(2)(i), 9 CFR part 104, § 104.5(a)(4), and 9 CFR part 114, §§ 114.8(c) and 114.9(a)(1), (a)(5), and (a)(7) regarding the number of copies of the Outline of Production or revised pages of an Outline of Production, or special outline that are required to be submitted in support of an application for veterinary biological product license or permit.

∑ We will amend 9 CFR part 103, § 103.3(d), and 9 CFR part 112, § 112.5(d)(1)(iii) and (d)(1)(iv) regarding the number of copies of finished labels that are required to be submitted for review and filing.

∑ We will amend 9 CFR part 103, § 104.3(a), and 9 CFR part 112, § 112.5(a), to indicate that the Internet may be used to obtain forms and apply for certain veterinary biologics permits.

∑ We will amend 9 CFR part 104, § 104.5(a)(1), and 9 CFR part 108, § 108.7, regarding the number of copies of all plot plans, blueprints, and legends required to be submitted for review and filing.
Dates

We are publishing this rule without a prior proposal because we view this action as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse public comment. This rule will be effective, as published in this document, on June 21, 2010, unless we receive written adverse comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments on or before May 21, 2010.

Adverse comments are comments that suggest the rule should not be adopted or that suggest the rule should be changed.

If we receive written adverse comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments, we will publish a document in the Federal Register withdrawing this rule before the effective date. We will then publish a proposed rule for public comment.

As discussed above, if we receive no written adverse comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments within 30 days of publication of this direct final rule, this direct final rule will become effective 60 days following its publication. We will publish a document in the Federal Register , before the effective date of this direct final rule, confirming that it is effective on the date indicated in this document. Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act

This rule is subject to Executive Order 12866. However, for this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived its review under Executive Order 12866.


### 20772 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 21, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

This direct final rule will affect all licensed manufacturers of veterinary biologics. Currently, there are approximately 125 veterinary biologics manufacturers, including permittees. According to the standards of the Small Business Administration, most veterinary biologics establishments are small entities.

The provisions of this direct final rule that update addresses and indicate the availability of forms on the Internet will have no economic effect on any entities, large or small. The provisions that reduce from three to two the number of copies of certain forms, labels, plot plans, blueprints, and legends that regulated entities are required to submit in specific cases may result in some cost savings to those entities, but those savings will be inconsequential.

Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Executive Order 12372

This program/activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under No. 10.025 and is subject to Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. (See 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V.) Executive Order 12988

This direct final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. It is not intended to have retroactive effect. This rule would not preempt any State or local laws, regulations, or policies where they are necessary to address local disease conditions or eradication programs. However, where safety, efficacy, purity, and potency of biological products are concerned, it is the Agency’s intent to occupy the field. This includes, but is not limited to, the regulation of labeling. Under the Act, Congress clearly intended that there be national uniformity in the regulation of these products. There are no administrative proceedings which must be exhausted prior to a judicial challenge to the regulations under this rule. Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule contains no new information collection or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq .). Further, this rule will reduce information collection or recordkeeping requirements in 9 CFR parts 102, 103, 104, 108, 112, and 114. List of Subjects 9 CFR Parts 102, 103, 114, and 116
