SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Under the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (section 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), we are giving notice that we have filed a food additive petition (FAP 9A4823), submitted on behalf of Kellogg Company by Hogan Lovells US LLP, Columbia Square, 555 Thirteenth Street NW, Washington, DC 20004. The petition proposes to amend the food additive regulations in § 172.380 (21 CFR 172.380; Vitamin D
3) to provide for 
the safe use of vitamin D 3as a nutrient 
supplement as defined in § 170.3(o)(20) (21 CFR 170.3(o)(20)) in breakfast cereals as defined in § 170.3(n)(4) and in grain-based nutrition bars (e.g., granola 
bars) and to update the specifications for vitamin D
3established in 
§ 172.380(b) by incorporating by reference the most recent edition of the Food Chemicals Codex. 
We have determined under 21 CFR 
25.32(k) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On July 1, 
2019, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) published two proposed rules in the Federal Register: 
•Notice No. 182, Elimination of 
Certain Standards of Fill for Wine, at 84 FR 31257; and 
•Notice No. 183, Elimination of 
Certain Standards of Fill for Distilled Spirits; Amendment of Malt Beverage Net Contents Labeling Regulation, at 84 FR 31264. 
In the two proposed rules, TTB 
addresses petitions requesting that TTB amend the regulations that govern wine and distilled spirits containers to provide for additional authorized standards of fill. As discussed in Notice No. 182, TTB is proposing to eliminate all but a minimum standard of fill for wine containers, and, as discussed in Notice No. 183, TTB is proposing to eliminate all but minimum and maximum standards of fill for distilled spirits containers. The term ‘‘standard of fill’’ as used in the TTB regulations and in the two proposed rules refers to the authorized amount of liquid in the container (for example, 50 mL, 100 mL, 375 mL, 750 mL, and 1 liter) rather than the size or capacity of the container itself. 
In addition, in Notice No. 183, TTB is 
also proposing to specifically provide that distilled spirits may be labeled with the equivalent standard United States (U.S.) measure in addition to the mandatory metric measure, and that malt beverages may be labeled with the equivalent metric measure in addition to the mandatory U.S. measure. These revisions will align those labeling regulations with current TTB policy, which allows such labeling, and also with the wine labeling regulations, which provide that wine labels may include the equivalent U.S. measure in addition to the mandatory metric measure.

As discussed in each proposed rule, 
in addition to comments on the 
proposed deregulatory actions, TTB is also requesting comments on the relative merits of alternatives, such as adding new authorized standards of fill and developing an expedited process for adding additional standards in the future. TTB believes that all of these approaches would eliminate restrictions that inhibit competition and the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce. 
To date, TTB has received requests to 
extend the comment period for either Notice No. 182 or Notice No. 183 from three national associations and the European Commission. 
The Wine Institute requested a 90-day 
extension of the comment period for Notice No. 182, stating that TTB issued the notice at a time when their members are engaged in longer business hours in preparation for harvest, with limited time to devote to the issues raised. In addition, the comment states that the group needs additional time to identify interested parties, including both its members and other wine trade associations, to discuss how best to respond. 
The American Distilled Spirits 
Association (ADSA) requested a 90-day extension of Notice No. 183, stating that it and its member companies require ‘‘substantial time to fully and properly address this significant request for comment.’’ The National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA), which describes itself as representing the States and local jurisdictions that directly control the distribution and sale of alcohol beverages within their borders, is also requesting a 90-day extension of the comment period for Notice No. 183. NABCA states that it requires additional time to coordinate among its member jurisdictions to develop comments to the issues raised in Notice No. 183. 
In addition, TTB has received a 
request from the European Commission to extend the comment period for Notice No. 183 until September 13, 2019, to allow for coordination of European Union comments on the proposed rule. 
In response to these requests, TTB is 
extending the comment period for Notice No. 182 and Notice No. 183 for an additional 60 days. TTB believes that a 60-day extension of the two comment periods, which in addition to the original 60-day comment period will provide 120 days overall for comment, will be of sufficient length to allow interested parties to consider and comment on the issues raised in the two notices, while allowing TTB to conclude the rulemaking process in a more timely manner. 
Therefore, TTB will now accept 
public comments on Notice No. 182 and Notice No 183 through October 30, 2019.

45 CFR Parts 1610 and 1630 Use of Non-LSC Funds, Transfers of 
LSC Funds, Program Integrity; Cost Standards and Procedures 
AGENCY : Legal Services Corporation. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking. 
SUMMARY : This proposed rulemaking 
would revise the Legal Services Corporation’s (LSC or Corporation) regulations addressing the use of non- LSC funds by LSC recipients and the requirement that recipients maintain program integrity with respect to other entities that engage in LSC-restricted activities, and also providing cost standards for LSC grants and permits LSC to question costs when a recipient uses non-LSC funds in violation of LSC rules. LSC proposes technical and stylistic updates to both rules without any substantive changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Introduction 
The Legal Services Corporation Act 
(LSC Act or Act), 42 U.S.C. 2996–2996l, and LSC’s annual appropriation, Public Law 116–6 (2019), impose restrictions and requirements on the use of LSC and non-LSC funds by recipients of grants from LSC for the delivery of civil legal aid. LSC implemented those restrictions and requirements on non-LSC funds through part 1610 of title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1610 also contains the program integrity rule, which requires objective integrity and independence between a recipient and any entity that engages in LSC-restricted activities. 
LSC’s last major substantive revisions 
of part 1610 occurred in 1996 and 1997 when Congress passed major new statutory restrictions on LSC recipients. 61 FR 63749, Dec. 2, 1996; 62 FR 27695, May 21, 1997. Since then, LSC has made two technical updates to part 1610 as part of rescinding or substantively revising other rules—parts 1627 (Subgrants) and 1642 (Attorneys’ Fees). 82 FR 10273, Feb. 10, 2017; 75 FR 21506, Apr. 26, 2010. LSC has identified several technical changes to update the rule and improve clarity. LSC does not propose any substantive changes to the rule because LSC has not encountered compliance or oversight problems with the operation of the rule. 
LSC’s cost standards rule appears at 
45 CFR part 1630. Section 1630.16 
authorizes LSC to question costs when a recipient uses non-LSC funds in violation of part 1610. LSC proposes to update that provision to better reference part 1610. LSC does not propose any substantive changes to the rule. 
II. Regulatory Background 
In 1974, the LSC Act established 
requirements and restrictions on LSC 
recipients and on their use of LSC funds. Public Law 93–355, 88 Stat. 378. As amended, section 1010(c) of the Act extends many of the restrictions to recipients’ use of non-LSC funds, with specific exceptions. See 42 U.S.C. 
2996i(c). Generally, the restrictions apply to LSC funds and private funds but not to most uses of public or tribal funds or to separately funded public defender programs. In the 1970s, LSC adopted regulations implementing most of the restrictions (e.g., part 1613 
regarding criminal proceedings). Other restrictions apply directly from the Act
