[Airspace Docket No. 95–ACE–6]

Proposed Removal of Class E

Airspace; St. Louis, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document removes Class

E airspace at St. Louis, MO. Weiss

Airport at St. Louis, MO, has been

abandoned making this necessary.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 3, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The only SIAP for the airport was

cancelled on July 21, 1994, after the

airport was abandoned.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) amends the Class E airspace

area at St. Louis-Weiss Airport, MO, by

removing the controlled airspace.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this 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 rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice

published in the Federal Register of

September 10, 1993 (58 FR 47746), FDA

announced that a food additive petition

(FAP 3A4391) had been filed by

Hoechst Celanese Corp., Rt. 202–206

North, Somerville, NJ 08876, proposing

that § 172.800 Acesulfame potassium

(21 CFR 172.800) be amended to

provide for the safe use of acesulfame

potassium as a nonnutritive sweetener

in alcoholic beverages.

I. Determination of Safety

Under Section 409(c)(3)(A) of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(the act)(21 U.S.C. 348(c)(3)(A)), the socalled ‘‘general safety clause,’’ a food

additive cannot be listed for a particular

use unless a fair evaluation of the

evidence establishes that the additive is

safe for that use. The concept of safety

embodied in the Food Additives

Amendment of 1958 is explained in the

legislative history of the provision:

‘‘Safety requires proof of a reasonable

certainty that no harm will result from

the proposed use of the additive. It does

not—and cannot—require proof beyond

any possible doubt that no harm will

result under any conceivable

circumstance’’ (H. Rept. 2284, 85th

Cong., 2d sess. 4 (1958)). This concept

of safety has been incorporated into

FDA’s food additive regulations (21 CFR

170.3(i)).

The food additives anticancer, or

Delaney, clause (section 409(c)(3)(A) of

the act) further provides that no food

additive shall be deemed safe if it is

found to induce cancer when ingested

by man or animal. Importantly,

however, the Delaney clause applies to

the additive itself and not to

constituents of the additive. That is,

where an additive has not been shown

to cause cancer, even though it contains

a carcinogenic impurity, the additive is

not subject to the legal effect of the

Delaney clause. Rather, the additive is
