Indirect Food Additives: Adjuvants,

Production Aids, and Sanitizers

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is amending the

food additive regulations to provide for

the safe use of manganese ammonium

pyrophosphate (C.I. Pigment Violet 16)

as a colorant for all polymers intended

for use in contact with food. This action

is in response to a petition filed by

Holliday Pigments, Ltd.

DATES: This rule is effective January 22,

2001. Submit written objections and

requests for a hearing by February 21,

2001.

ADDRESSES: Submit written objections to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice

published in the Federal Register of

July 21, 1999 (64 FR 39146), FDA

announced that a food additive petition

(FAP 9B4670) had been filed by

Holliday Pigments, Ltd., Morley St.,

Kingston upon Hull, HU8 8DN

ENGLAND. The petition proposed to

amend the food additive regulations in

§ 178.3297 Colorants for polymers (21

CFR 178.3297) to provide for the safe

use of manganese ammonium

pyrophosphate (C.I. Pigment Violet 16)

as a colorant for all polymers intended

for use in contact with food.

FDA has evaluated the data in the

petition and other relevant material.

Based on this information, the agency

concludes that the proposed use of the

additive is safe, that the additive will

achieve its intended technical effect,

and therefore, that the regulations in

§ 178.3297 should be amended as set

forth below.

In accordance with § 171.1(h) (21 CFR

171.1(h)), the petition and the

documents that FDA considered and

relied upon in reaching its decision to

approve the petition are available for

inspection at the Center for Food Safety

and Applied Nutrition by appointment

with the information contact person

listed above. As provided in § 171.1(h),

the agency will delete from the

documents any materials that are not

available for public disclosure before

making the documents available for

inspection.

The agency has carefully considered

the potential environmental effects of

this action. FDA has concluded that the

action will not have a significant impact

on the human environment, and that an

environmental impact statement is not

required. The agency’s finding of no

significant impact and the evidence

supporting that finding, contained in an

environmental assessment, may be seen

in the Dockets Management Branch

(address above) between 9 a.m. and 4

p.m., Monday through Friday.

This final rule contains no collections

of information. Therefore, clearance by

the Office of Management and Budget

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 is not required.

Any person who will be adversely

affected by this regulation may at any

time file with the Dockets Management

Branch (address above) written

objections by February 21, 2001. Each

objection shall be separately numbered,

and each numbered objection shall

specify with particularity the provisions

of the regulation to which objection is

made and the grounds for the objection.

Each numbered objection on which a

hearing is requested shall specifically so

state. Failure to request a hearing for

any particular objection shall constitute

a waiver of the right to a hearing on that

objection. Each numbered objection for

which a hearing is requested shall

include a detailed description and

analysis of the specific factual

information intended to be presented in

support of the objection in the event

that a hearing is held. Failure to include

such a description and analysis for any

particular objection shall constitute a

waiver of the right to a hearing on the

objection. Three copies of all documents

are to be submitted with the docket

number found in brackets in the

heading of this document. Any

objections received in response to the

regulation may be seen in the Dockets

Management Branch between 9 a.m. and

4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

28 CFR PART 16

[AAG/A Order No. 212–2001]

Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation

AGENCY: Department of Justice.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is

further exempting the United States

Marshals Service (USMS) Internal

Affairs System, JUSTICE/USM–002,

from subsections (e)(1) and (e)(5) of the

Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

552a(j)(2), (k)(2) and (k)(5). This system

is currently exempt from subsections

(c)(3) and (4), (d), (e)(2) and (3), (e)(4)(G)

and (H), (e)(8), (f) and (g) pursuant to

subsections (j)(2) and (k)(5). In addition

to records compiled during the course of

investigations of allegations of

misconduct or criminal violations by

USMS personnel, this system also

contains records compiled for law

enforcement investigations related to

actual or potential civil and regulatory

violations. The additional exemptions

are necessary to avoid interference with

such law enforcement investigations

and to protect the privacy of third party

individuals.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule will be

effective January 22, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mary E. Cahill on (202) 307–1823.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

proposed rule with invitation to

comment was published in the Federal

Register on November 8, 1999 (64 FR

60753). The public was given 30 days in

which to comment. No public

comments were received.

This order relates to individuals

rather than small business entities.

Nevertheless, pursuant to the

requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, it is

hereby stated that the order will not

have a ‘‘significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.’’

List of Subjects in 28 CFR Part 16

Administrative Practice and

Procedure, Courts, Freedom of

Information Act, Government in the

Sunshine Act, and Privacy.

Dated: January 8, 2001.

Stephen R. Colgate,

Assistant Attorney General for

Administration.

Pursuant to the authority vested in the

Attorney General by 5 U.S.C. 552a and

delegated to me by Attorney General

Order No. 793–78, 28 CFR Part 16 is

amended as follows:

1. The authority for Part 16 continues

to read as follows:

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301, 552, 552a, 552b(g),

553; 18 U.S.C. 4203(a)(1); 28 U.S.C. 509, 510,

534; 31 U.S.C. 3717, 9701.

2. 28 CFR 16.101 is amended by

revising paragraphs (e), introductory

text, (e)(1), (f)(1), and (f)(3); by

redesignating paragraphs (f)(7), (f)(8)

and (f)(9) as paragraphs (f)(8), (f)(9) and

(f)(10) and adding new paragraph (f)(7)

as follows:

§ 16.101 Exemption of U.S. Marshals

Service (USMS) Systems—limited access,

as indicated.

* * * * *

(e) The following system of records is

exempt from 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3) and (4),

(d), (e)(1), (2) and (3), (e)(4)(G) and (H),

(e)(5), (e)(8), (f) and (g).

(1) Internal Affairs System (JUSTICE/

USM–002)—Limited access. These

exemptions apply only to the extent that

information in this system is subject to

exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

552a(j)(2), (k)(2) or (k)(5). Where

compliance would not interfere with or

adversely affect the law enforcement

process, the USMS may waive the

exemptions, either partially or totally.

(f) * * *

(1) From subsections (c)(3) and (d) to

the extent that release of the disclosure

accounting may impede or interfere

with civil or criminal law enforcement

efforts, reveal a source who furnished

information to the Government in

confidence, and/or result in an

unwarranted invasion of the personal

privacy of collateral record subjects or

other third party individuals.

* * * * *

(3) From subsection (e)(1) to the

extent that it is necessary to retain all

information in order not to impede,

compromise, or interfere with civil or

criminal law enforcement efforts, e.g.,

where the significance of the

information may not be readily

determined and/or where such

information may provide leads or

assistance to Federal and other law

agencies in discharging their law

enforcement responsibilities.

(4) * * *

(5) * * *

(6) * * *

(7) From subsection (e)(5) because in

the collection of information for law

enforcement purposes it is impossible to

determine in advance what information

is accurate, relevant, timely and

complete. With the passage of time,

seemingly irrelevant or untimely

information may acquire new

significance and the accuracy of such

information can only be determined in

a court of law. The restrictions imposed

by subsection (e)(5) would restrict the

ability to collect information for law

enforcement purposes and interfere

with the preparation of a complete

investigative report or otherwise impede

effective law enforcement.
