Orion
Corp., Orionintie 1, 02200 Espoo,
Finland, filed NADA 141–306 for
veterinary prescription use of
DORMOSEDAN GEL (detomidine
hydrochloride) for sedation and
restraint of horses. The application is
approved as of March 22, 2010, and the
regulations in 21 CFR part 529 are
amended by adding new § 529.536 to
reflect the approval.
In accordance with the freedom of
information provisions of 21 CFR part
20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii),
summaries of the safety and
effectiveness data and information
submitted to support approval of these
applications may be seen in the Division
of Dockets Management (HFA–305),
Food and Drug Administration, 5630
Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD
20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
The agency has determined under 21
CFR 25.33 that this action is of a type
that does not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore,
neither an environmental assessment
nor an environmental impact statement
is required.
Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(ii) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(ii)), this
approval qualifies for 3 years of
marketing exclusivity beginning on the
date of approval.
This rule does not meet the definition
of ‘‘rule’’ in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because
it is a rule of ‘‘particular applicability.’’
Therefore, it is not subject to the
congressional review requirements in 5
U.S.C. 801–808.

Therefore, under the Federal Food,

2010.

paragraph.
In this interim rule, the Bureau
revises its regulations regarding inmate
contact with the community to delete
two current Bureau regulations that
prohibit inmates from publishing under
a byline, due to a recent court ruling
invalidating Bureau regulation language
containing this prohibition.
Currently, 28 CFR 540.20(b) states as
follows: ‘‘The inmate may not receive
compensation or anything of value for
correspondence with the news media.
The inmate may not act as reporter or
publish under a byline.’’
Also, current 28 CFR 540.62(d) states
as follows: ‘‘An inmate currently
confined in an institution may not be
employed or act as a reporter or publish
under a byline.’’
On August 9, 2007, in Jordan v. Pugh,
504 F.Supp.2d 1109 (D. Colo. 2007), the
court issued a decision invalidating the
byline language of § 540.20(b). The court
found that not all inmate publishing
under a byline jeopardizes security, and
overruled the byline portion of the
provision as facially overbroad for
prohibiting all such activity. The Bureau
is not appealing this decision. We

that this regulation does not have
sufficient Federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a Federalism
Assessment.

therefore alter the regulations
accordingly.
Further, due to the court’s findings
regarding § 540.20(b), the identical
provision in § 540.62(d) will also be
deleted.
Administrative Procedure Act
The Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) allows exceptions to
notice-and-comment rulemaking ‘‘when
the agency for good cause finds * * *
that notice and public procedure
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary,
or contrary to the public interest.’’
Further, § 553(d) provides an exception
to the usual requirement of a delayed
effective date when an agency finds
‘‘good cause’’ that the rule be made
immediately effective.
This rulemaking is exempt from
normal notice-and-comment procedures
because advance notice and public
comment in this instance is
impracticable. It is impracticable to
invite public comment on the result of
a court order which invalidated the
regulatory provision which we now seek
to remove. Further, prompt
implementation of the court order is
necessary to protect the Bureau from
liability arising from potential
application of an invalidated regulation,
and to afford inmates the benefit of the
court’s decision. Otherwise, this
rulemaking makes no change to any
rights or responsibilities of the agency
or any regulated entities. For the same
reasons, the Bureau finds that ‘‘good
cause’’ exists to make this rule effective
upon publication. Nevertheless, the
Bureau invites public comment on this
interim rule.

Executive Order 12866
This regulation falls within a category
of actions that the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has determined to
constitute ‘‘significant regulatory
actions’’ under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866 and, accordingly, it was
reviewed by OMB.
The Bureau of Prisons has assessed
the costs and benefits of this regulation
as required by Executive Order 12866
Section 1(b)(6) and has made a reasoned
determination that the benefits of this
regulation justify its costs. There will be
no new costs associated with this
regulation.
Executive Order 13132
This regulation will not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, under
