FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION 

12 CFR Part 630 

RIN 3052–AC40 

Disclosure to Investors in SystemWide and Consolidated Bank Debt 

Obligations of the Farm Credit System; 

Effective Date 

AGENCY: Farm Credit Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of effective date. 

SUMMARY: The Farm Credit 

Administration (FCA or Agency), 

through the FCA Board (Board), issued 

a direct final rule with opportunity for 

comment under part 630 on November 

15, 2007 (72 FR 64129) amending our 

regulation on the external auditor’s 

assessment of internal control over 

financial reporting concerning the 

System-wide annual report to investors. 

The opportunity for comment expired 

on December 17, 2007. The FCA 

received no comments and therefore, 

the direct final rule becomes effective 

without change. In accordance with 12 

U.S.C. 2252, the effective date of the 

final rule is 30 days from the date of 

publication in the Federal Register 

during which either or both Houses of 

Congress are in session. Based on the 

records of the sessions of Congress, the 

effective date of the regulations is 

January 31, 2008. 

DATES: Effective Date: The regulation 

amending 12 CFR part 630 published on 

November 15, 2007 (72 FR 64129) is 

effective January 31, 2008.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30591; Amdt. No. 3254] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This Rule establishes, 

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective February 8, 

2008. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of February 8, 

2008.

amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by 

establishing, amending, suspending, or 

revoking SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums 

and/or ODPs. The complete regulatory 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on FAA 

form documents which are incorporated 

by reference in this amendment under 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 

CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA 

Forms are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 

8260–5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when 

required by an entry on 8260–15A. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, in addition to 

their complex nature and the need for 

a special format make publication in the 

Federal Register expensive and 

impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
7462 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 27 / Friday, February 8, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, 

Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead 

refer to their depiction on charts printed 

by publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP listed on FAA forms is 

unnecessary. This amendment provides 

the affected CFR sections and specifies 

the types of SIAPs and the effective 

dates of the SIAPs, the associated 

Takeoff Minimums, and ODPs. This 

amendment also identifies the airport 

and its location, the procedure, and the 

amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as contained in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously by the FAA in a 

Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to 

Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency 

action of immediate flight safety relating 

directly to published aeronautical 

charts. The circumstances which 

created the need for some SIAP and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODP 

amendments may require making them 

effective in less than 30 days. For the 

remaining SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, an effective date 

at least 30 days after publication is 

provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the 

TERPS criteria were applied to the 

conditions existing or anticipated at the 

affected airports. Because of the close 

and immediate relationship between 

these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find 

that notice and public procedure before 

adopting these SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs are impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, that good cause exists 

for making some SIAPs effective in less 

than 30 days. 

Conclusion 

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. It, therefore—(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. For the same 

reason, the FAA certifies that this 

amendment will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Revisions to the Requirements 

Applicable to Blood, Blood 

Components and Source Plasma; 

Confirmation of Effective Date and 

Technical Amendment 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of 

effective date and technical amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is confirming the 

effective date of February 19, 2008, for 

the direct final rule that appeared in the 

Federal Register of August 16, 2007 (72 

FR 45883). The direct final rule amends 

the biologics regulations by removing, 

revising, or updating specific 

regulations applicable to blood, blood 

components and Source Plasma to be 

more consistent with current practices 

in the blood industry and to remove 

unnecessary or outdated requirements. 

In addition, FDA is making technical 

amendments to the biologics regulations 

in response to comments received on 

the direct final rule. 

DATES: The effective date for the 

regulation is confirmed as February 19, 

2008. The effective date of the technical 

amendment is also February 19, 2008.

Rockville Pike, suite 200N, Rockville, 

MD 20852–1448, 301–827–6210. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of August 16, 2007 (72 

FR 45883), FDA solicited comments 

concerning the direct final rule for a 75- 

day period ending October 30, 2007. 

FDA stated that the effective date of the 

direct final rule would be on February 

19, 2008, 6 months after the end of the 

comment period, unless any significant 

adverse comment was submitted to FDA 

during the comment period. FDA 

received several letters of comment on 

the direct final rule; however, FDA did 

not receive any significant adverse 

comments. Therefore, FDA is 

confirming the effective date of the 

direct final rule and making two 

technical amendments in response to 

comments received. Comments were 

received from private industry, an 

individual, organizations representing 

the blood industry, and an employee of 

the Food and Drug Administration. The 

comments received and FDA’s 

responses to the comments are 

discussed below as follows: 

Two comments stated that under 

paragraph (c) of 21 CFR 610.53, there 

was an error in a temperature listed in 

the table under Red Blood Cells 

Deglycerolized and Red Blood Cells 

Frozen. 

FDA agrees. In the Federal Register of 

September 24, 2007 (72 FR 54208), FDA 

issued a notice to correct a 

typographical error in the codified 

section of the direct final rule. The table 

in paragraph (c) of section 610.53 was 

corrected by replacing 65°C with -65°C. 

One comment requested clarification 

of the proposed change in wording from 

‘‘toward’’ to ‘‘at’’ concerning the 

specified temperature range under 21 

CFR 640.4(h) because coolers do not 

have the capacity to maintain a 

temperature range between 1 and 10°C. 

FDA agrees with the comment and 

therefore, is revising the regulation to 

use ‘‘toward’’ rather than ‘‘at’’. 

One comment requested that under 21 

CFR 640.24(d) the pH be revised from 

‘‘not less than 6.0’’ to ‘‘not less than 6.2’’

to be consistent with the change in 21 

CFR 640.25(b)(2) (§ 640.25(b)(2)) and 

with industry practice. 

Because both of these provisions refer 

to the same pH requirement, FDA agrees 

and is revising 21 CFR 640.24(d) as 

requested. 

One comment agreed with the change 

in pH under § 640.25(b)(2) but stated 

that there was no mention of the 

number of units that must meet this 

requirement and therefore the 

assumption is that 100 percent of the 

units must meet the requirement which 

they believe is unachievable. 

We believe that the four units we 

require to be tested for quality control 

purposes under § 640.25(b) must meet 

the criteria listed under this regulation. 

However, FDA recently issued a 

document entitled ‘‘Guidance for 

Industry and FDA Review Staff: 

Collection of Platelets by Automated 

Methods,’’ dated December 2007 

(December 17, 2007; 72 FR 71418). In 

this guidance, we provide 

recommendations on quality control 

monitoring. Therefore, no additional 

changes are warranted. 

Two comments requested that FDA 

revise the definition under 21 CFR 

640.30(a) to include ‘‘for intravenous or 

further manufacturing use’’ to facilitate 

use of plasma for further manufacturing 

use that has been collected concurrently 

with the collection of another blood 

component by apheresis. In addition, 

the comments requested that 21 CFR 

640.34 and other provisions in the 

regulations be revised and harmonized 

to allow interchangeability of the 

plasma from intravenous use to 

manufacturing use after blood 

collection. 

FDA presently has this issue under 

consideration and may address this in 

future rulemaking, if warranted. This 

comment is beyond the scope of this 

rulemaking. 

One comment requested that FDA 

provide the rationale for the revision to 

21 CFR 640.34(b) requiring fresh frozen 

plasma collected by an apheresis 

procedure to be prepared from blood 

collected by single uninterrupted 

venipuncture, and why it was 

differentiated from other components 

collected by apheresis. The comment 

also questioned whether the current 

practice of using a sterile connecting 

device to attach a sterile needle in the 

event of blood flow interruption would 

be prohibited in the future.
