Evaluation and Research, Food and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Eligibility of SSOS
In November 2007, we received a TEA
(Ref. 1) requesting that SSOS be eligible
for review under our OTC dandruff,
seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis
monograph (21 CFR part 358 subpart H).
In February 2008, we received a
supplement to the TEA, which included
data and information clarifying some
points in the TEA (Ref. 2). After
reviewing the TEA and its supplement,
we believe that it includes adequate
data demonstrating that SSOS has been
marketed for a material time and to a
material extent as required by § 330.14
(21 CFR 330.14) (Ref. 3). SSOScontaining products have been marketed
directly to consumers for over 5
continuous years in 26 countries, with
an estimated 21 million dosage units
marketed in 34 countries.
The applicant requested that SSOS be
indicated for use to treat dandruff and
psoriasis, in rinse-off and leave-on
formulations. However, nearly all of the
submitted marketing data concerns
SSOS in rinse-off formulations for
dandruff treatment. More marketing
experience of SSOS in leave-on
formulations for dandruff treatment
would be necessary to find SSOS
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:13 Apr 06, 2009
Jkt 217001
eligible in leave-on formulations. SSOS
in leave-on formulations does not meet
the ‘‘material extent’’ requirement of
§ 330.14(b)(2) and section 201 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(21 U.S.C. 321). Only 2 to 4 million
dosage units of SSOS in leave-on
formulations have been sold, which is
inadequate compared to the number of
dosage units sold for other conditions
found eligible for inclusion in the OTC
drug monograph system via the TEA
process (tens of millions). Therefore, we
conclude that SSOS, 0.5 to 2.0 percent
in rinse-off formulations for dandruff
treatment, is eligible for inclusion in the
OTC dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis,
and psoriasis monograph.
II. Request for Data and Information
We invite all interested persons to
submit data and information on the
safety and effectiveness of SSOS in
order for us to determine whether it is
GRASE and not misbranded under
recommended conditions of OTC use
(see § 330.14(f)). The data submitted
should include animal and human
studies that meet current scientific
standards. The TEA does not include an
official or proposed United States
Pharmacopeia-National Formulary
(USP–NF) drug monograph. According
to § 330.14(i), an official or proposed
USP–NF monograph for each ingredient
must also be included as part of the
safety and effectiveness data for this
ingredient.
III. Marketing Policy
Under § 330.14(h), any product
containing SSOS may not be marketed
as an OTC drug in the United States at
this time unless it is the subject of an
approved new drug application or
abbreviated new drug application.

display in the Division of Dockets

Description of Need: The Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1995 (Pub. L. 103–62) and the National
Park Service (NPS) Strategic Plan
require that the NPS develop goals to
improve program effectiveness and
public accountability. GPRA also
requires Federal agencies to prepare
annual performance reports
documenting the progress made toward
achieving long-term goals. Surveys for
the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation
Assistance Program (RTCA) and the
Federal Lands to Parks Program (FLP)
will measure performance and suggest
improvements towards these goals. Data
from these studies are needed to meet
the requirement of GPRA and the NPS
Strategic Plan. The two programs are to
meet Long-term Goal IIIb2. This goal
states: 95% of communities served are
satisfied with NPS partnership
assistance in providing recreational
conservation benefits on lands and
waters. The NPS needs the information
in these collections to assess the annual
progress being made toward meeting
Long-term Goal IIIb2 of the NPS
Strategic Plan.
The proposed surveys will provide
the NPS with data from its partners.
Partners are those individuals or
organizations that seek NPS assistance
through these two programs. NPS will
obtain critical information to determine
if it’s meeting the diverse needs of its
constituency and how to respond to
future changes. The information sought
is not collected elsewhere by the
Federal Government. The NPS needs
this information to help evaluate and
improve its partnership assistance
programs. NPS’ RTCA Program and FLP
Program will conduct surveys to assess
client satisfaction with the services
received and to identify needed program
improvements. The NPS goal in
conducting these surveys is to use the
information to identify areas of strength
and weakness in its recreation and
conservation assistance programs, to
provide an information base for
improving those programs, and to
provide a required performance
measurement (Goal IIIb2 of the National
Park Service Strategic Plan) under
GPRA. The obligation to respond is
voluntary.
Automated Data Collection: The
information will be collected primarily
through the use of an electronic survey.
Description of respondents: This is a
census survey of all principal
cooperating organizations and agencies
which have received substantial
assistance from the Rivers, Trails and
Conservation Assistance Program or the
Federal Lands to Parks Program during

the prior Fiscal Year (October 1 through
September 30).
Estimated average number of
responses: 150 per year.
Frequency of response: 1 per
respondent.
Estimated average time burden per
respondent: 10 minutes.
Estimated total annual reporting
burden: 25 hours per year.
Comments are invited on: (1) The
practical utility of the information being
gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden
hour estimate; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information being collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden to
respondents, including use of
automated information collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

Coordinator, (703) 358–2161.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Coastal Barrier Resources Act
(CBRA) of 1982 (16 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
established the John H. Chafee Coastal
Barrier Resources System (CBRS) to
minimize the loss of human life; reduce
wasteful Federal expenditures; and
minimize the damage to fish, wildlife,
and other natural resources associated
with coastal barriers. Most new Federal
expenditures and financial assistance
that have the effect of encouraging
development are prohibited within the
CBRS. In the Coastal Barrier
Improvement Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
591), Congress amended CBRA to add
new units, enlarge some previously
designated units, add Otherwise
Protected Areas (OPAs) as a new
category of lands, and approve a series
of maps entitled ‘‘John H. Chafee
Coastal Barrier Resources System’’ and
dated October 24, 1990. These maps
identify and depict those coastal
barriers located on the coasts of the
Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Great
Lakes, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico
that are subject to the Federal funding
limitations outlined in CBRA.
The Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary), through the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), is responsible
for administering CBRA, which
includes: maintaining the official maps
of the CBRS; consulting with Federal
agencies that propose spending funds
within the CBRS; and making
recommendations to Congress regarding
whether certain areas were
appropriately included in the CBRS.
Aside from three minor exceptions, only
Congress through new legislation, can
modify the CBRS boundaries to add or
remove land. These exceptions include:
(1) The CBRA 5-year review
requirement that solely considers
changes that have occurred to the CBRS
by natural forces such as erosion and
accretion; (2) voluntary additions to the
CBRS by property owners; and (3)
additions of excess Federal property to
the CBRS.
