19544 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 19, 1995 / Proposed Rules

microbiological criteria in establishing

meat and poultry products safety

performance standards.

DATES: May 18–19, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Georgetown University

Conference Center, 3800 Reservoir

Road, Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

Robert Brewer, Staff Officer,

Epidemiology and Emergency Response

Program, FSIS, USDA, (202) 205–0293.

To register to attend, call Ms. Becky

LaQuay or Ms. Pat Baker at (202) 205–

0293.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

February 3, 1995, FSIS published a

proposed rule ‘‘Pathogen Reduction;

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control

Point (HACCP) Systems’’ (60 FR 6774).

In that document, the Agency proposed

a number of regulatory changes

applicable to Federal- and Stateinspected meat and poultry

establishments. The proposed changes

are designed to reduce the occurrence

and numbers of pathogenic

microorganisms in meat and poultry

products, thereby reducing the

incidence of foodborne illness

associated with the consumption of

these products.

In the proposed rule, FSIS stated that

public meetings would be held with the

regulated industry and interested parties

to foster the development of beneficial

new food safety technologies. Therefore,

FSIS is holding a scientific/technical

conference to explore the use of

microbiological criteria for developing

food safety performance standards for

meat and poultry products.

The conference, ‘‘An Evaluation of the

Role of Microbiological Criteria in

Establishing Food Safety Performance

Standards in Meat and Poultry

Products,’’ will be held on May 18–19,

1995, at the Georgetown University

Conference Center, 3800 Reservoir

Road, Washington, DC 20057 (202) 687–

3200. The conference will begin each

day at 8:00 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m.

Conference Agenda

The conference will consist of four

sessions, as follows:

Session I: ‘‘Review of the Green Book,

‘An Evaluation of the Role of

Microbiological Criteria for Foods

and Food Ingredients’ ’’

Several members who served on the

Subcommittee on Microbiological

Criteria for Foods and Food

Ingredients will present papers

reviewing the Green Book’s

concepts and recommendations

applicable to meat and poultry

products.

Session II: ‘‘Current Food Safety Issues

and Logic for Using Microbial-based

Performance Standards’’

Invited speakers will review current

food safety issues, including

emerging pathogens, and the logic

for microbial-based standards

(criteria or targets) as a verification

of HACCP systems.

Session III: ‘‘Basis for Establishing

Criteria for Food Safety

Performance Standards’’

Invited speakers will discuss the basis

for setting criteria (i.e. public

health-based standards versus

technology-based standards) and

data needs for developing

meaningful performance standards,

such as sentinel-site surveillance.

Session IV: ‘‘Synopsis of Conference

Proceedings’’

Panel members will summarize major

issues and points of the

proceedings. The public will be

provided an opportunity to make

comments and ask questions.

Dr. J. Glenn Morris, Jr., Director,

Epidemiology and Emergency Response

Program, FSIS will moderate and be

joined by a panel consisting of: Dr.

Douglas Archer, Department of Food

Science and Human Nutrition,

University of Florida; Dr. Robert Black,

Department of International Health,

Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and

Public Health; Dr. Sherwood Gorbach,

Community Health and Medicine, Tufts

University School of Medicine; and Dr.

Morris Potter, Center for Disease Control

and Prevention, Division Bacterial and

Mycotic Diseases.

A report will be prepared that

summarizes the conference’s processing.

This report will include general

conclusions on the use of

microbiological criteria for developing

food safety performance standards for

meat and poultry products. The report

and transcripts of the conference will be

available in the FSIS Docket Clerk’s

Office, Room 4352, South Agriculture

Building, Food Safety and Inspection

Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Washington, DC 20250.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

As published the notice of proposed

rulemaking contains errors which may

be misleading and are in need of

clarification.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication on

February 28, 1995 of the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking, which was the

subject of FR Doc. 95–4764 is corrected

as follows:

1. On page 10972, in the third

column, first paragraph, delete the word

‘‘underscored’’ in the last sentence.

2. On page 10973, beginning in the

second column, paragraph 4. is

corrected to read as follows:

4. Reformulated gasoline. Although

percentages can vary to a small degree,

it is the Department’s understanding

that reformulated gasoline is comprised
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 19, 1995 / Proposed Rules 19545

of over 90 percent petroleum on an

energy equivalent basis. Reformulated

gasoline is an enumerated ‘‘clean

alternative fuel’’ in section 241 of the

Clean Air Act. 42 U.S.C. 7581. It is not

mentioned at all in the definition of

‘‘alternative fuel’’ in section 301 of the

Energy Policy Act of 1992. Section

301(2) provides as follows: the term

‘‘alternative fuel’’ means methanol,

denatured ethanol, and other alcohols;

[mixtures containing 85 percent or more

(or such other percentage, but not less

than 70 percent, as determined by the

Secretary, by rule, to provide for cold

start, safety, or vehicle functions) by

volume of methanol, denatured ethanol,

and other alcohols with gasoline, or

other fuels]; natural gas; liquefied

petroleum gas; hydrogen; coal-derived

liquid fuels; fuels (other than alcohol)

derived from biological materials;

electricity (including electricity from

solar energy); [and any other fuel the

Secretary determines, by rule, is

substantially not petroleum and would

yield substantial energy security

benefits and substantial environmental

benefits].

3. On page 10973, third column, first

full paragraph following paragraph 4.,

the first sentence is corrected to read as

follows:

Each of the above bracketed phrases

sets forth limited authority for the

Department to add fuels to the

definition of ‘‘alternative fuel.’’

4. On page 10990, second column, in

Appendix A To Subpart A of Part 490,

[Docket No. 94–NM–167–AD]

Airworthiness Directives; Mitsubishi

Model YS–11 and –11A Series

Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

Mitsubishi Model YS–11 and –11A

series airplanes. This proposal would

require the implementation of a

corrosion prevention and control

program. This proposal is prompted by

incidents involving corrosion and

fatigue cracking in transport category

airplanes that are approaching or have

exceeded their economic design goal;

these incidents have jeopardized the

airworthiness of the affected airplanes.

The actions specified by the proposed

AD are intended to prevent degradation

of the structural capabilities of the

affected airplanes due to problems

associated with corrosion.

Discussion

In April 1988, a transport category

airplane managed to land after tiny

cracks in rivet holes in the upper

fuselage linked together, causing

structural failure and explosive

decompression. An 18-foot section

ripped from the fuselage. This accident

focused greater attention on the problem

of aging aircraft.

In June 1988, the FAA sponsored an

international conference on aging

airplane issues, which was attended by

representatives of the aviation industry

from around the world. It became

obvious that, because of the tremendous

increase in air travel, the relatively slow

pace of new airplane production, and

the apparent economic feasibility of

operating older technology airplanes

rather than retiring them, increased

attention needed to be focused on the

aging fleets and maintaining their

continued operational safety.

In concert with the objectives that

arose from this conference, the ‘‘YS–11

Structures Working Group (SWG),’’ was

formed in 1990. This group was

comprised of representatives of several

Japanese airlines and overhaul facilities;

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), the

airframe manufacturer; and the Japan

Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB), which is

the airworthiness authority for Japan. It

undertook the task of identifying and
