Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Proposed Rules 7693 

(72 FR 70251) to seek public comment 

only with respect to two issues raised in 

the comments that opposed the 

proposed provision to require fluid UF 

milk or fluid UF nonfat milk to be 

declared as ‘‘ultrafiltered milk’’ or 

‘‘ultrafiltered nonfat milk,’’ respectively: 

(1) That, due to economic and logistical 

burdens, it would be impracticable for 

cheese manufacturers to comply with 

the labeling requirement; and (2) that 

the proposed provision to declare fluid 

UF milk as ‘‘ultrafiltered milk’’ would 

be misleading to consumers in that 

consumers incorrectly believe that 

cheeses that declare ‘‘ultrafiltered milk’’

as an ingredient are different from those 

cheeses that declare ‘‘milk’’ as an 

ingredient or ‘‘milk and ultrafiltered 

milk’’ as ingredients. 

The agency has received a request for 

an additional 60 days to respond to the 

questions FDA asked in its December 

11, 2007, document. The request 

expressed concern that the reopening of 

the comment period did not allow 

adequate time to provide the data and 

information that FDA requested. 

FDA has considered the request and 

is extending the request for an 

additional 60 days until April 11, 2008. 

The agency believes that this additional 

time will provide interested parties 

sufficient time to respond to the 

questions raised in the December 11, 

2007, docment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department is extending by 30 days, the 

comment period for the NPRM 

proposing revisions to the 

apprenticeship regulations published on 

December 13, 2007 (72 FR 71020). 

Regulations that implement the 

National Apprenticeship Act at Title 29 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

29 have not been updated since first 

promulgated in 1977. These regulations 

establish, for certain Federal purposes, 

labor standards, policies and procedures 

for the registration, cancellation and 

deregistration of apprenticeship 

programs, and apprenticeship 

agreements. Part 29 also provides for the 

recognition of a State Apprenticeship 

Agency (SAA) as an agency authorized 

to register local apprenticeship 

programs for Federal purposes, and for 

the revocation of such recognition. On 

December 13, 2007, the Department 

published in the Federal Register 

proposed revisions to update 29 CFR 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS

7694 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Proposed Rules 

part 29, to ensure that the National 

Registered Apprenticeship System has 

the necessary tools and flexibility to 

keep pace with changes in the economy, 

technological advances, and 

corresponding workforce challenges that 

have occurred over the past three 

decades. In particular, the proposed rule 

updates the procedures for 

apprenticeship program registration, 

adds requirements for monitoring of 

program performance, and clarifies the 

Department’s role as manager of the 

National Apprenticeship System. In 

addition, the proposed rule incorporates 

gender neutral terms and expands the 

variety of media that may be used in the 

delivery of related technical instruction. 

Such revisions will enable the 

Department to promote apprenticeship 

opportunity in the 21st century while 

continuing to safeguard the welfare of 

apprentices. 

The Department published its notice 

of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register of December 13, 2007 (FR Doc. 

E7–24178) at 72 FR 71020. The notice 

invited interested persons to submit 

written comments on the proposed rule 

on or before February 11, 2008. The 

Department received a number of 

requests for an extension of the 

comment period. After balancing the 

interests of timeliness and public 

participation, the Department has 

determined that it is in the public’s 

interest to extend the comment period 

by 30 days. This document extends the 

comment period through March 12, 

2008.
