21 CFR Part 177

[Docket No. 93F–0167]

Indirect Food Additives: Polymers

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 Nylon 46 resins, which

are manufactured by the condensation

of 1,4-butanediamine and adipic acid, in

membrane filters intended to contact

beverages containing not more than 13

percent alcohol. This action responds to

a petition filed by DSM Engineering

Plastics.

DATES: Effective July 2, 1996; written

objections and requests for a hearing by

August 1, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Submit written objections to

the Dockets Management Branch (HFA–

305), Food and Drug Administration,

12420 Parklawn Dr., rm. 1–23,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice

published in the Federal Register of

June 17, 1993 (58 FR 33447), FDA

announced that a petition (FAP 3B4374)

had been filed by DSM Engineering

Plastics, 501 Crescent Ave., Reading, PA

19512–5051 (currently c/o Keller and

Heckman, 1001 G St. NW., suite 500

West, Washington, DC 20001). The

petitioner proposed to amend the food

additive regulations in § 177.1500 Nylon

resins (21 CFR 177.1500) to provide for

the safe use of Nylon 46 resins, which

are manufactured by the condensation

of 1,4-butanediamine and adipic acid, in

membrane filters intended to contact

alcoholic beverages.

FDA has evaluated the data in the

petition and other relevant material. The

agency concludes that the proposed use

of the additive is safe and that

§ 177.1500 should therefore 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.

Any person who will be adversely

affected by this regulation may at any

time on or before August 1, 1996, file

with the Dockets Management Branch

(address above) written objections

thereto. 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

shall be submitted and shall be

identified 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.

BILLING CODE 4160–01–F

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Indian Affairs

25 CFR Part 10

RIN 1076–AD77

Indian Country Detention Facilities and

Programs

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs,

Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs

(Bureau) is establishing regulations to

ensure that all Bureau and tribal entities

that receive Federal funding for the

operation, maintenance, design and

construction, or renovation of detention

facilities are operated and maintained in

a constitutionally sound manner and

comply with the Indian Law

Enforcement Reform Act of 1990, Public

Law 101–379 (25 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.).

These regulations define the policies,

standards and guidelines for detention

and rehabilitation programs within

Indian country.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations take

effect on August 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Theodore R. Quasula, 202–208–5786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The authority to issue rules and

regulations is vested in the Secretary of

the Interior by 5 U.S.C. 301 and sections

463 and 465 of the Revised Statutes, 25

U.S.C. 2 and 9. The proposed rule was

published August 5, 1994, (59 FR

40086). Comments received during the

comment period ending November 3,

1994, were considered in the drafting

this final rule.

What is the purpose of this rule? The

purpose of this rule is to provide

standards and procedures for the

operation of detention facilities funded

under the Indian Alcohol and Substance

Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act,

Pub. L. 99–570, (25 U.S.C. § 2453).

Who must follow these regulations?

Every BIA and tribal law enforcement

program receiving Federal funding or

performing duties during the operation

of detention or rehabilitation facilities

or functions must follow these

minimum standards. These programs

and functions are high risk activities

that subject the Federal Government to

the risk of liability for tort claims. Selfgovernance tribes and tribes with

limited jurisdiction are encouraged to

use this rule, Chapter 69 Bureau of

Indian Affairs Manual (BIAM), and

handbooks for detention and

rehabilitation programs under their

administration.

How will these regulations be

enforced? All programs will be subject

to periodic inspections or evaluations

during which the BIA will provide

technical assistance, will ensure

compliance with the standards and

procedures contained in this rule, and

will identify necessary corrective

actions or improvements to policies and

procedures. The Bureau adopted a

voluntary accreditation process with an

audit and evaluation system.

Why were regulations rewritten and

moved? Detention standards were

published in 25 CFR § 11.305 and later

moved to Section 12.104. The

regulations had not been modified for

sixteen years. They did not address

current detention problems and were

inconsistent with current acceptable

detention practices and procedures. The

regulations also failed to address code

compliance and related physical plant

issues, and lacked options to allow for

alternative types of detention programs.

The need for more detailed and

contemporary standards was intensified

by the provision of funding for

detention programs under Indian

Alcohol and Substance Abuse

Prevention and Treatment Act.

detention facilities, Inmate Handbook
