Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 67 / Thursday, April 9, 2009 / Proposed Rules 16161 

April 25, 2008 (73 FR 22720). That rule 

established measures to further 

strengthen existing safeguards against 

bovine spongiform encephalopathy 

(BSE). FDA has become aware that some 

affected persons, particularly those in 

the rendering industry, are experiencing 

difficulties modifying their operations 

to comply with the new requirements 

contained in the April 25, 2008 final 

rule and, therefore, may not be in full 

compliance by the April 27, 2009, 

effective date. Accordingly, the FDA is 

proposing this action to delay the 

effective date of the April 25, 2008, final 

rule for 60 days until June 26, 2009. 

FDA is providing 7 days for public 

comment solely on the question of 

whether to delay the effective date.

or before April 16, 2009.

Company Sales Income; Hearing 

Cancellation 

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), 

Treasury. 

ACTION: Cancellation of notice of public 

hearing on proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This document cancels a 

public hearing on proposed rulemaking 

relating to the foreign base company 

sales income, in cases in which personal 

property sold by a controlled foreign 

corporation (CFC) is manufactured, 

produced, or constructed pursuant to a 

contract manufacturing arrangement or 

by one or more branches of the CFC. 

The temporary regulations modify the 

foreign base company sales income

structures and practices, particularly the 

growing importance of contract 

manufacturing and other manufacturing 

arrangements. The temporary 

regulations, in general, will affect CFCs 

and their United States shareholders.

scheduled for April 20, 2009, at 10 a.m., 

is cancelled.

April 6, 2009, no one has requested to
