SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 18f-1 and Form N-18f-1, SEC File No. 270-187, OMB Control
No. 3235-0211

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 18f-1 (17 CFR 270.18f-1) enables a registered open-end
management investment company (``fund'') that may redeem its securities
in-kind, by making a one-time election, to commit to make cash
redemptions pursuant to certain requirements without violating section
18(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-18(f)). A
fund relying on the rule must file Form N-18F-1 (17 CFR 274.51) to
notify the Commission of this election. The Commission staff estimates
that 38 funds file Form N-18F-1 annually, and that each response takes
one hour. Based on these estimates, the total annual burden hours
associated with the rule is estimated to be 38 hours.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549; or send an email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statutes also allow the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The 24
individuals listed in this notice have recently requested an exemption
from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Agency will
evaluate the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether
granting the exemption will achieve the required level of safety
mandated by the statutes.

optometrist examined him in 2009 and certified that he does not have
diabetic retinopathy. He holds a Class ABCD from Wisconsin.

Chris M. Testa

    Mr. Testa, 46, has had ITDM since 2004. His endocrinologist
examined him in 2008 and certified that he has had no hypoglycemic
reactions resulting in loss of consciousness, requiring the assistance
of another person, or resulting in impaired cognitive function that
occurred without warning in the past 5 years; understands diabetes
management and monitoring; and has stable control of his diabetes using
insulin, and is able to drive a CMV safely. Mr. Testa meets the
requirements of the vision standard at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). His
ophthalmologist examined him in 2008 and certified that he does not
have diabetic retinopathy. He holds a Class B CDL from New Jersey.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on the exemption petitions
described in this notice. We will consider all comments received before
the close of business on the closing date indicated in the date section
of the Notice.
    FMCSA notes that Section 4129 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible
and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-
LU) requires the Secretary to revise its diabetes exemption program
established on September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).\1\ The revision must
provide for individual assessment of drivers with diabetes mellitus,
and be consistent with the criteria described in section 4018 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 Notice as a ``final
rule.'' However, the 2003 Notice did not issue a ``final rule'' but
did establish the procedures and standards for issuing exemptions
for drivers with ITDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 4129 requires: (1) The elimination of the requirement for
three years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with
insulin; and (2) the establishment of a specified minimum period of
insulin use to demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being
allowed to operate a CMV.
    In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 Notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year driving experience and fulfilled
the

requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure that operation
of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite level of safety
required of all exemptions granted under 49 USC. 31136(e).
    Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of CMVs
with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers, with
the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical requirements
that are deemed medically necessary. FMCSA concluded that all of the
operating, monitoring and medical requirements set out in the September
3, 2003 Notice, except as modified, were in compliance with section
4129(d). Therefore, all of the requirements set out in the September 3,
2003 Notice, except as modified by the Notice in the Federal Register
on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777), remain in effect.

    Issued on: February 26, 2009.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0329; Directorate Identifier 2010-CE-016-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Various Aircraft Equipped With Rotax
Aircraft Engines 912 A Series Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    Due to high fuel pressure, caused by exceeding pressure in front
of the mechanical fuel pump (e.g. due to an electrical fuel pump),
in limited cases a deviation in the fuel supply could occur. This
can result in exceeding of the fuel pressure and might cause engine
malfunction and/or massive fuel leakage.

    We are proposing this AD to prevent the pump from causing excessive
fuel pressure, which could result in engine malfunction or a massive
fuel leak. These conditions could cause loss of control of the airplane
or a fire.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 23, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD No.: 2007-0060R1-E, dated April 20, 2007 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Due to high fuel pressure, caused by exceeding pressure in front
of the mechanical fuel pump (e.g. due to an electrical fuel pump),
in limited cases a deviation in the fuel supply could occur. This
can result in exceeding of the fuel pressure and might cause engine
malfunction and/or massive fuel leakage.
    Non-compliance with these instructions could result in engine
damages, personal injuries or death.

    The MCAI requires replacing the affected fuel pumps with a
different part number fuel pump.
    The MCAI applies to all versions of Bombardier-Rotax GmbH 912 A,
912 F, and 912 S series engines. Versions of the 912 F series and 912 S
series engines are type certificated in the United States. However, the
Model 912 A series engine installed in various aircraft does not have
an engine type certificate; instead, the engine is part of the aircraft
type design. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI
in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Rotax Aircraft Engines has issued Service Bulletin SB-912-053,
dated April 13, 2007. The actions described in this service information
are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 60 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about .5 work-hour per
product to

comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $650
per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $41,550, or $692.50 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 73: Engine
Fuel and Control.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Due to high fuel pressure, caused by exceeding pressure in front
of the mechanical fuel pump (e.g. due to an electrical fuel pump),
in limited cases a deviation in the fuel supply could occur. This
can result in exceeding of the fuel pressure and might cause engine
malfunction and/or massive fuel leakage.
    Non-compliance with these instructions could result in engine
damages, personal injuries or death.
    We are issuing this AD to prevent the pump from causing
excessive fuel pressure, which could result in engine malfunction or
a massive fuel leak. These conditions could cause loss of control of
the airplane or a fire. The MCAI requires replacing the affected
fuel pumps with a different part number fuel pump.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) Within the next 25 hours time-in-service after the effective
date of this AD, replace fuel pump P/N 892230, 892232, 892540,
892235, 892236, or 892545 with an FAA-approved fuel pump that does
not have one of the P/Ns referenced above following Rotax Aircraft
Engines Service Bulletin SB-912-053, dated April 13, 2007.
    (2) As of the effective date of this AD do not install fuel pump
P/N 892230, 892232, 892540, 892235, 892236, or 892545, on any
airplane.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: The MCAI requires replacing an affected fuel pump with
fuel pump P/N 892542 or 892546. This AD requires replacement of an
affected fuel pump with an FAA-approved fuel pump that does not have
one of the P/Ns referenced in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Sarjapur Nagarajan, Aerospace Engineer, FAA,
Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City,
Missouri 64106; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-
mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate

principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Hudson Yards Concrete Casing Project in New York, New York

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), United States Department
of Transportation (USDOT).

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment for the
Hudson Yards Concrete Casing Construction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public that the National Railroad
Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) has prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) in coordination with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for the
construction of an underground concrete casing to preserve a right-of-
way (ROW) (the proposed Project) for the future expansion of rail
service between New Jersey and New York and to support Amtrak's efforts
to improve the resiliency of the rail system in the Northeast Corridor
(NEC) to address future disasters. Amtrak anticipates constructing the
proposed Project using Federal funding and, as the proposed Project
sponsor, would design and construct the underground concrete casing. In
accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the
Council on Environmental Quality regulations to implement NEPA, the
FRA's ``Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts'', the EA
examines the potential environmental impacts of constructing an
underground concrete casing in the Hudson Yards rail yard in New York,
NY (Hudson Yards).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please submit written comments on the
EA to Michelle W. Fishburne, USDOT, Federal Railroad Administration,
Office of Railroad Policy and Development, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
W36-428, Washington, DC 20590 or via email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
DATES: Written comments on the EA will be accepted on or before April
29, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The EA is available for review at the FRA Office of Railroad
Policy and Development at the address listed above and locally at the
New York Public Library, Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street, New York,
NY10018-2788; Phone<PHONE_NUMBER>. The EA is also available for review
on the FRA Web site at http://www.fra.dot.gov/Page/P0214 .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Amtrak proposes to construct an underground
concrete casing to preserve a ROW underneath Hudson Yards for the
future expansion of rail service between New Jersey and New York and to
support Amtrak's efforts to improve the resiliency of the rail system
to address future disasters in the NEC.
    Construction of the Project is proposed at this time because a real
estate development corporation (Developer), through an agreement with
the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the Long Island
Railroad (LIRR), has begun constructing a development in the area above
Hudson Yards (referred to as the Overbuild Project). The Developer has
all necessary local and state approvals for the Overbuild Project and
started construction in the southern portion of Hudson Yards, south of
the proposed Project site, in December 2012. Amtrak proposes to
construct the underground concrete casing in conjunction with the
Overbuild Project in order to preserve an underground ROW as a viable
location for a future tunnel into New York's Penn Station. If the
Developer builds the immense foundations and platform for the Overbuild
Project, the ROW underneath the Overbuild Project would be permanently
lost as an alignment for a new tunnel entering Penn Station from the
west.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C.
Sec.  4321 et seq., (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), and FRA's ``Procedures for
Considering Environmental Impacts,'' 64 FR 28545 (May 26, 1999) and 78
FR 2713 (Jan. 14, 2013), (FRA's Environmental Procedures), Amtrak
prepared the EA in coordination with FRA, MTA and LIRR and analyzed the
potential environmental impacts of the two alternatives for the
proposed Project: ``No Action'' and ``Construct a Concrete Casing.''
    FRA is publishing this notice to solicit public comments prior to
making a final NEPA determination on the proposed Project. The review
period for the EA shall extend to May 1, 2013. FRA will review the
comments in accordance with NEPA, CEQ regulations, and FRA's
Environmental Procedures. If FRA determines the proposed Project will
not have any foreseeable significant environmental impacts, FRA will
issue a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) describing the
agency's decision and the basis for it. Any FONSI issued by FRA will be
consistent with 40 CFR 1508.13 and section 11 of FRA's Environmental
Procedures (64 FR at 28551).

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 28, 2013.
