alternatives and, when regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity). The agency 

believes that this direct final rule is not 

a significant regulatory action under the 

Executive order. 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act 

requires agencies to analyze regulatory 

options that would minimize any 

significant impact of a rule on small 

entities. Because the direct final rule 

would not impose any direct or indirect 

costs on industry or government 

through the amendment, but rather 

would only clarify that sponsors must 

include in their applications the 

information described in § 514.1 that is 

appropriate for their particular 

submission, the agency certifies that the 

direct final rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Section 202(a) of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires 

that agencies prepare a written 

statement, which includes an 

assessment of anticipated costs and 

benefits, before proposing ‘‘any rule that 

includes any Federal mandate that may 

result in the expenditure by State, local, 

and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 

or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 

or more (adjusted annually for inflation) 

in any one year.’’ The current threshold 

after adjustment for inflation is $133 

million, using the most current (2008) 

Implicit Price Deflator for the Gross 

Domestic Product. FDA does not expect 

this direct final rule to result in any 1- 

year expenditure that would meet or 

exceed this amount. 

VI. Federalism 

FDA has analyzed this direct final 

rule in accordance with the principles 

set forth in Executive Order 13132. FDA 

has determined that the rule does not 

contain policies that have substantial 

direct effects on the States, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Accordingly, the 

agency has concluded that the rule does 

not contain policies that have 

federalism implications as defined in 

the Executive order and, consequently, 

a federalism summary impact statement 

is not required. 

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This direct final rule refers to 

previously approved collections of 

information found in FDA regulations. 

The direct final rule amends these 

previously approved collections of 

information by clarifying that NADAs 

must contain the information 

appropriate for the particular 

submission. Further, this amendment is 

based upon the Center for Veterinary 

Medicine’s previous experience with 

these submissions. Thus, § 514.1 as 

amended, does not constitute a new or 

additional paperwork burden requiring 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval. 

Collections of information are subject 

to review by OMB under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520). The collections of information in 

§ 514.1 have been approved under OMB 

Control No. 0910–0032. This approval 

expires April 30, 2011. An agency may 

not conduct and a person is not required 

to respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number.

this herein. 

Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ 

It has been certified that 32 CFR part 

279 does: 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more or 

adversely affect in a material way the 

economy; a section of the economy; 

productivity; competition; jobs; the 

environment; public health or safety; or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities. The Supplemental 

Appropriations Act, 2009 appropriated 

$534,400,000 to the Department of 

Defense, to remain available for 

obligation until expended: Provided, 

That such funds shall be available to the 

Secretaries of the military departments 

only to make payment of claims

It has been certified that 32 CFR part 

279 does not: 

(2) Create a serious inconsistency or

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, 

or loan programs, or the rights and

of obligated service was extended, or 

whose eligibility for retirement was 

suspended pursuant to any provision of 

law authorizing the President to extend 

any period of obligated service, or 

suspend eligibility for retirement, of a 

Service member in time of war or of 

national emergency declared by 

Congress or the President (commonly 

referred to as a ‘‘stop loss authority’’). 

(b) Service members who were 

discharged or released from the Armed 

Forces under other than honorable 

conditions are not permitted to receive 

Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay under 

Section 310 of Public Law 111–32. 

§ 279.3 Payment. 

(a) The amount of compensation shall 

be $500 per month for each month or 

any portion of a month during the 

period specified above that the member 

was retained on active duty as a result

reflect the estimated number of eligible 

months and the projected special pay 

amount along with guidance about how 

to submit a claim. Special care should 

be taken to work with family members 

of eligible Service members who are 

deceased. These family members may 

not be knowledgeable of the process and 

will require additional assistance after 

filing their claim. 

(2) Make a public announcement of 

the Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay 

Authority highlighting the scope of the 

program, who qualifies for the benefits, 

and how to submit a claim to a Service

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Union 

Pacific Railroad Company requested a 

temporary deviation for the Clinton 

Railroad Drawbridge, across the Upper 

Mississippi, mile 518.0, at Clinton, Iowa 

to open on signal if at least 24 hours’ 

advance notice is given in order to 

facilitate needed bridge maintenance 

and repairs. The Clinton Railroad 

Drawbridge currently operates in 

accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which 

states the general requirement that 

drawbridges shall open promptly and 

fully for the passage of vessels when a 

request to open is given in accordance 

with the subpart. In order to facilitate 

the needed bridge work, the drawbridge 

must be kept in the closed-to-navigation 

position. This deviation allows the 

bridge to open on signal if at least 24 

hours’ advance notice is given from 

12:01 a.m. December 15, 2009 until 9 

a.m., March 15, 2010. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessels transiting this section of the 

Upper Mississippi River. 

The Clinton Railroad Drawbridge, in 

the closed-to-navigation position, 

provides a vertical clearance of 18.7 feet 

above normal pool. Navigation on the 

waterway consists primarily of 

commercial tows and recreational 

watercraft. This temporary deviation has 

been coordinated with waterway users. 

No objections were received. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge shall return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory History, 74 FR 16734 

(April 10, 2009). 

Section 3030.11 of the Commission’s 

rules, 39 CFR 3030.11, specifies that 

complainants must serve their 

complaints on the Postal Service via 

email at a specified email address. This 

order changes the email address 

referenced in 39 CFR 3030.11. To 

accurately reflect the current status, the 

email address listed in that section is, 

by this order, changed from 

‘‘Sandra.t.broadus@usps.gov’’ to 

‘‘PRCCOMPLAINTS@usps.gov.’’ 

Notice and effective date. Given the 

nature and limited extent of this change, 

the Commission is adopting it as a 

direct final rule. This rule is effective 40 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register without further Commission 

action, unless the Commission receives 

adverse comment within 30 days of 

publication in the Federal Register.1 If 

adverse comment is received, the 

Commission will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the rule in the Federal
