19492 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 19, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

those imposed under the FMIA or the

PPIA, as well as preempted from

imposing, under the PPIA for poultry

products, certain storage and handling

requirements. States and local

jurisdictions may, however, exercise

concurrent jurisdiction over meat and

poultry products that are outside official

establishments for the purpose of

preventing the distribution of meat or

poultry products that are misbranded or

adulterated under the FMIA or PPIA or,

in the case of imported articles, which

are not at such an establishment, after

their entry into the United States. States

and local jurisdictions may also make

requirements or take other actions, that

are consistent with the FMIA and PPIA,

with respect to any other matters

regulated under the FMIA and PPIA.

Under the FMIA and the PPIA, States

that maintain meat and poultry

inspection programs must impose

requirements that are at least equal to

those required under the FMIA or PPIA.

These States may, however, impose

more stringent requirements on such

State-inspected products and

establishments.

This final rule will have no

retroactive effect and applicable

administrative procedures must be

exhausted before any judicial challenge

to the application of these provisions.

Those administrative procedures are set

forth in 9 CFR §§ 306.5, 318.21(h),

381.35, and 381.153(h).

Effect on Small Entities

Most of the entities accredited by

FSIS that will be affected by this final

rule are large, independent laboratories

or official meat packing establishments

or States that own or operate accredited

laboratories.

There are currently approximately

150 laboratories in the FSIS accredited

laboratory program. About three

quarters of these are large entities, with

respect to the volume of business, or

part of such entities as large business

corporations, State universities, or State

governments. These laboratories provide

analytical services to large and small

establishments for analysis of official

samples.

Participation in the Agency’s

Accredited Laboratory Program is

voluntary. The principal burden of the

final rule on laboratories will be the fee

charged for FSIS accreditation ($2,500

per accreditation, of which a laboratory

may have more than one) and the

minimal billing and accounting costs.

This fee is substantially lower than the

fee previously charged.

Some large laboratories have multiple

accreditations for food chemistry and

chemical residues, while many small

laboratories are accredited only for food

chemistry. Thus, smaller laboratories

(small entities) tend to pay smaller

amounts of accreditation fees than large

laboratories. Balanced against these

costs are the revenues from analyzing

official samples, which are likely to be

greater because firms can be expected to

pass much of the costs of obtaining

accreditation to clients, and the

enhancement of income from other

services provided by the laboratories

because of their status as ‘‘accredited by

FSIS.’’ As a result, the net effect of this

rulemaking on both small and large

laboratories will not be significant. The

user-fee costs for having official samples

analyzed by accredited laboratories are

passed on to the establishments doing

business with accredited laboratories, or

absorbed by the official establishment if

the establishment has an in-house

accredited laboratory. Establishments

using the laboratories benefit from the

earlier marketing of product released

from official retention. Because of the

accreditation fee reduction authorized

by this final rule, the overall benefits to

the meat and poultry industry,

including both small and large

establishments, from using accredited

laboratories can be expected to increase

very modestly.

It is possible that some small

laboratories that are not now

participating in the ALP may choose to

apply for the program because of the

lower fee. If they did so, a larger number

of accredited laboratories would be

available for use by official

establishments, including small

establishments, than there are at

present.

For these reasons, the net effects of

the final rule, though beneficial, are not

likely to be significant on a substantial

number of small entities.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document corrects a

typographical error that appeared in the

applicability statement of the abovecaptioned airworthiness directive (AD)

that was published in the Federal

Register on March 14, 1995 (60 FR

13618). A typographical error in the

applicability statement of the AD

resulted in a reference to airplane line

numbers that are inaccurate.

DATES: Effective April 13, 1995.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations was previously approved by

the Director of the Federal Register as of

April 13, 1995 (60 FR 13618, March 14,

airplanes, was published as a final rule

in the Federal Register on March 14,

1995 (60 FR 13618). As published, that

final rule contained a typographical

error in the applicability statement.

The applicability statement indicated

that the airplanes affected by the AD

were, in part, those having line numbers

969 through 922, inclusive. However,

the correct line numbers are 969

through 992, inclusive. These correct

line numbers appeared in the notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which

preceded the final rule.

This document corrects the reference

to the line numbers cited in the

applicability statement on page 13619,

middle column, of the March 14, 1995

Federal Register of AD 95–06–02, to

read as follows:

‘‘Applicability: Model 747 series

inclusive; excluding airplanes equipped

Order:

Order Under Commission Rule 30.3(a)

Permitting Option Contracts on the ThreeMonth Eurolira Interest Rate Futures Contract

Traded on the London International

Financial Futures and Options Exchange to

By Order issued on September 5, 1989

(Initial Order), the Commission

authorized, pursuant to Commission

rule 30.3(a),1 certain option products

traded on the London International

Financial Futures and Option Exchange

(LIFFE) to be offered or sold in the

United States. 54 FR 37636 (September

Initial Order specified that:

Except as otherwise permitted under the

Commodity Exchange Act and regulations

thereunder, * * * no offer or sale of any

LIFFE option product in the United States

shall be made until thirty days after

publication in the Federal Register of notice

specifying the particular option(s) to be

By letter dated March 14, 1995, LIFFE

represented that it would be introducing

an option contract based on the ThreeMonth Eurolira Interest Rate futures

requested that the Commission
