The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at Slayton,

MN, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed GPS Rwy 35 SIAP at

Slayton Municipal Airport by creating

controlled airspace for the airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to

contain aircraft executing the

approaches. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts.

Class E airspace designations for

airspace areas extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface of the

earth are published in paragraph 6005 of

FAA Order 7400.9E dated September

10, 1997, and effective September 16,

1997, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E

airspace designation listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

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.

Therefore this, proposed regulation—(1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

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 will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Federal

Flexibility Act.

Permanent Listing of Color Additive

Lakes; Additions to the Administrative

Record; Reopening of Comment

Period

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of

comment period.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is announcing the

availability of certain documents that

are being added to the administrative

record for the agency’s proposal to

permanently list certain color additive

lakes as suitable and safe for use in

foods, drugs, and cosmetics. The

proposal was published in the Federal

Register of March 4, 1996 (61 FR 8372).

The documents being added to the

administrative record pertain to a

modified in situ manufacturing process

for D&C Red No. 34 lakes. FDA is also

reopening the comment period for this

proposal until July 6, 1998, for the sole

purpose of providing an opportunity for

public comment on these documents.

DATES: Written comments by July 6,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

and requests for single copies of the

documents added to the administrative

record and comments to the Dockets

Management Branch (HFA–305), Food

and Drug Administration, 12420

Parklawn Dr., rm. 1–23, Rockville, MD

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie

N. Barrows, Center for Food Safety and

Applied Nutrition (HFS–105), Food and

Drug Administration, 200 C St. SW.,

Washington, DC 20204, 202–205–4662.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Federal Register of March 4, 1996 (61

FR 8372), FDA published a proposal to

permanently list certain color additive

lakes as suitable and safe for use in

foods, drugs, and cosmetics. The agency

proposed this action in response to the

requirements of section 721(b) of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(21 U.S.C. 379e(b)) and the transitional

provisions of the Color Additive

Amendments of 1960. Among other

things, the agency proposed to require

the preparation of lakes, including lakes

that are currently prepared in situ, from

previously certified batches of straight

color. Lakes currently prepared in situ

are lakes of D&C Red Nos. 6, 7, 31 and

34. In the proposal, the agency

tentatively concluded that the lack of

adequate analytical methods to

determine levels of intermediates and

other impurities in lakes prepared from

uncertified batches of straight color

precludes the agency from prescribing

conditions of safe use for such lakes,

including lakes prepared in situ.

Interested persons were initially given

until June 3, 1996, to comment on the

proposal. In the Federal Register of June

5, 1996 (61 FR 28525), the comment

period was extended to August 3, 1996.

FDA is announcing that it has

received a letter from a color additive

manufacturer, Sun Chemical Corp.,

concerning the results of a modified in

situ manufacturing process for D&C Red

No. 34 lakes. (D&C Red No. 34 is the

calcium salt of 3-hydroxy-4-[(1-sulfo-2-

naphthalenyl)azo]-2-

naphthalenecarboxylic acid.) The letter,

accompanied by samples, provided

information on the total color and levels

of intermediates in the isolated and

purified sodium salt of 3-hydroxy-4-[(1-

sulfo-2-naphthalenyl)azo]-2-

naphthalenecarboxylic acid and in the

calcium lake prepared from this sodium

salt. FDA has analyzed the samples

provided with the letter from Sun

Chemical Corp. and has confirmed the

results in the letter. The following

documents have been added to the

administrative record for the proposal:

The letter from Sun Chemical Corp.; a

memorandum summarizing the agency’s

analytical results for the samples

received with the letter; two memoranda

summarizing telephone conversations

between FDA and Sun Chemical Corp.

regarding the modified in situ

manufacturing process for D&C Red No.

34; and a memorandum summarizing a

telephone conversation between FDA

and Kingfisher Colours, Ltd., in which

FDA sought information on the same

subject.

FDA is reopening the comment period

for 30 days to allow interested persons

the opportunity to comment specifically

on issues raised by the documents being

added to the record. Only comments

pertaining to such issues will be

considered. This action will not delay

the issuance of a final rule.

Interested persons may, on or before

July 6, 1998 submit to the Dockets

Management Branch (address above)

written comments regarding these

document. Two copies of any comments

are to be submitted, except that

individuals may submit one copy.

Comments are to be identified with

Docket No. 79N–0043. Send a selfaddressed adhesive label to assist in

processing your requests. Received

comments may be seen in the office

above between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday.

Dated: May 28, 1998.
