that, on September 30, 2009, NYSE Amex LLC (``NYSE Amex'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to extend the pilot period of the Exchange's
prior approvals to receive inbound routes of orders from Archipelago
Securities LLC

(``Arca Securities''), an NYSE Amex affiliated member. A copy of this
filing is available on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.nyse.com,
at the Exchange's principal office and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Currently, Arca Securities is the approved outbound order routing
facility of the Exchange.\3\ Arca Securities is also the approved
outbound order routing facility of the New York Stock Exchange
(``NYSE'') and NYSE Arca, Inc (``NYSE Arca'').\4\ The Exchange has also
been previously approved to receive inbound routes of orders by Arca
Securities in its capacity as an order routing facility of NYSE Arca
and the NYSE.\5\ The Exchange's authority to receive inbound routes of
orders by Arca Securities was subject to a pilot period ending
September 29, 2009. The Exchange hereby seeks to extend the previously
approved pilot period (with the attendant obligations and conditions)
for an additional 3 months, through December 31, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2008-62). See also, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-58705
(October 1, 2008), 73 FR 58995 (October 8, 2008) (order approving
SR-AMEX-2008-63).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \6\ of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \7\ in particular in that it is
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system. Specifically, the
proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to continue receiving
inbound routes of equities orders from Arca Securities acting in its
capacity as a facility of the NYSE and NYSE Arca, in a manner
consistent with prior approvals and established protections. The
Exchange believes that extending the previously approved pilot period
for three months is of sufficient length to permit both the Exchange
and the Commission to assess the impact of the Exchange's authority to
receive direct inbound routes of equities orders via Arca Securities
(including the attendant obligations and conditions).

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing rule change does not: (1) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30
days after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under 19b-4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\10\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \11\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Exchange notes that
the proposal will allow the Exchange to continue receiving inbound
routes of equities orders from Arca Securities, in a manner consistent
with prior approvals and established protections, while also permitting
the Exchange and the Commission to assess the impact of the pilot.\12\
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because such waiver would allow the pilot period to be extended without
interruption through December 31, 2009. For this reason, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing with
the Commission.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by
the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
    \11\ Id.
    \12\ See SR-NYSEAmex-2009-67, Item 7.
    \13\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82460; File No. SR-GEMX-2017-62]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq GEMX, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to Market
Makers' Regulatory Fees

January 8, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 26, 2017, Nasdaq GEMX, LLC (``GEMX'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III, below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Exchange's Schedule of Fees, as
described further below.
    While these amendments are effective upon filing, the Exchange has
designated the proposed amendments to be operative on January 2, 2018.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqgemx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the Exchange's
Schedule of Fees to (i) eliminate the annual regulatory fee currently
assessed to Market Makers (i.e., Primary Market Makers and Competitive
Market Makers) at Section III.C and (ii) make a number of non-
substantive clean-up changes to update the Table of Contents. Each
change is discussed further below.
Eliminate Annual Regulatory Fee
    GEMX currently charges its members various non-transaction fees to
trade on the Exchange and use its facilities, including a tiered annual
regulatory fee. This fee is assessed to all Primary Market Makers
(``PMMs'') and Competitive Market Makers (``CMMs'') to help defray the
regulatory and administrative costs associated with a member's use of
the Exchange's facilities. In particular, the regulatory fee is $1,000
per year for a PMM membership, and, for PMMs that are also CMMs, $250
per year for each CMM membership. For CMMs that are not also PMMs the
regulatory fee is $500 per year for the first CMM membership, and $250
per year for each additional CMM membership.\3\ The Exchange does not
charge a regulatory fee to Electronic Access Members (``EAMs'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See GEMX Schedule of Fees, Section III.C Regulatory Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to eliminate the annual regulatory fee and
all related references from the Schedule of Fees because it has
determined that this fee is outdated and no longer reflects the costs
associated with supporting and regulating its members today. The annual
regulatory fee was adopted in 2013, and has not been amended since that
time.\4\ And because GEMX charges its members various non-transaction
fees outside of the annual regulatory fee to help defray such costs, as
noted above, the Exchange believes that the proposed fee change will be
a more accurate reflection of the administration and regulatory costs
associated with a member's use of the Exchange today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71149 (December 19,
2013), 78 FR 78447 (December 26, 2013) (SR-Topaz-2013-16).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update Table of Contents
    Currently, the Exchange's Schedule of Fees contains a number of
section headings that are not currently reflected in the Table of
Contents. The Exchange added, eliminated, or renamed these headings as
part of a previously-approved rule change, and inadvertently did not
make the corresponding updates to the Table of Contents.\5\
Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to update the Table of Contents to
make its Schedule of Fees easier to read.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In particular, the Exchange renamed Section IV, deleted
Section IV.C, and added Sections IV.F-IV.I as part of a previous
rule change to amend GEMX's connectivity fees. See Securities
Exchange Release No. 81902 (October 19, 2017), 82 FR 49453 (October
25, 2017) (SR-GEMX-2017-48).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among members and issuers and other persons using any facility,
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eliminate Annual Regulatory Fee
    The Exchange believes that the proposed elimination of the annual
regulatory fee and all related references from the Schedule of Fees is
reasonable because the Exchange has determined that the annual
regulatory fee is outdated and no longer reflects the costs associated
with supporting and regulating its members. This fee has not been
amended since its adoption in 2013. Furthermore, GEMX charges its
members various non-transaction fees outside of the annual regulatory
fee to help defray such costs, as noted above. The Exchange therefore
believes that the proposed fee change will be a more accurate
reflection of the administration and regulatory costs associated with a
member's use of the Exchange today.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposed elimination of the
annual regulatory fee is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because the proposed change will apply equally to all similarly
situated members.
Update Table of Contents
    The Exchange believes that the clean-up changes to update the Table
of Contents is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because these are non-substantive changes

intended to make the Schedule of Fees more transparent to members and
investors.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As discussed above, the
proposed changes are intended to more accurately reflect the regulatory
and administrative costs associated with a member's use of the
Exchange, or are clean-ups to make the Schedule of Fees more
transparent to members and investors. The Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive, or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be more
favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust
its fees to remain competitive. Because competitors are free to modify
their own fees in response, and because market participants may readily
adjust their order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the
degree to which fee changes in this market may impose any burden on
competition is extremely limited.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\8\ At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily
suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is: (i) Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii)
for the protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

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

ACTION: Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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:

    A failure mode has been identified following the examination of
parts from another aircraft type (Jetstream 4100 series) that can
lead to the loss of a nose-wheel. The Jetstream (HP.137) Mk1, 200,
3100 and 3200 series use a similar method for retaining the wheel
assemblies on the landing gear axle and can therefore experience the
same type of failure, i.e. a combination of excessive wear and/or
adverse tolerances on the axle inner cone, outer cone or wheel hub
splined sleeve cones resulting in the loss of the critical gap
between the inner flange face of the wheel outer cone and the axle
end face. If this gap is lost, it results in the wheel having free
play along the length of the axle. This condition, if not corrected,
can cause the wheel nut lock plate to break, leading to the wheel
retention nut unscrewing and subsequent separation of the nose wheel
from the landing gear axle.

    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 16, 2008.
    On July 16, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 31, 2008 (73
FR 16790). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A failure mode has been identified following the examination of
parts from another aircraft type (Jetstream 4100 series) that can
lead to the loss of a nose-wheel. The Jetstream (HP.137) Mk1, 200,
3100 and 3200 series use a similar method for retaining the wheel
assemblies on the landing gear axle and can therefore experience the
same type of failure, i.e. a combination of excessive wear and/or
adverse tolerances on the axle inner cone, outer cone or wheel hub
splined sleeve cones resulting in the loss of the critical gap
between the inner flange face of the wheel outer cone and the axle
end face. If this gap is lost, it results in the wheel having free
play along the length of the axle. This condition, if not corrected,
can cause the wheel nut lock plate to break, leading to the wheel
retention nut unscrewing and subsequent separation of the nose wheel
from the landing gear axle.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires repetitive
inspections of the nose landing gear to ensure that the wheels are
correctly retained and, depending on findings, replacement of worn
parts.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This 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 required 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 AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this AD will
affect 190 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will
take about 1 work-hour per product to comply with basic requirements of
this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S.
operators to be $15,200 or $80 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 1 work-hour and require parts costing $250, for a cost of
$330 per product. We have no way of determining the number of products
that may need these actions.

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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 AD and placed it in the AD Docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-12-02 British Aerospace Regional Aircraft: Amendment 39-15545;
Docket No. FAA-2008-0369; Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-015-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective July 16,
2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Model HP.137 Jetstream Mk.1, Jetstream
Series 200 and 3101, and Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes, all serial
numbers, certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 32: Landing
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    A failure mode has been identified following the examination of
parts from another aircraft type (Jetstream 4100 series) that can
lead to the loss of a nose-wheel. The Jetstream (HP.137) Mk1, 200,
3100 and 3200 series use a similar method for retaining the wheel
assemblies on the landing gear axle and can therefore experience the
same type of failure, i.e. a combination of excessive wear and/or
adverse tolerances on the axle inner cone, outer cone or wheel hub
splined sleeve cones resulting in the loss of the critical gap
between the inner flange face of the wheel outer cone and the axle
end face. If this gap is lost, it results in the wheel having free
play along the length of the axle. This condition, if not corrected,
can cause the wheel nut lock plate to break, leading to the wheel
retention nut unscrewing and subsequent separation of the nose wheel
from the landing gear axle.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires repetitive
inspections of the nose landing gear to ensure that the wheels are
correctly retained and, depending on findings, replacement of worn
parts.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) Within the next 3 months after July 16, 2008 (the effective
date of this AD), initially inspect the left and right nose wheel
attachments to the axle following British Aerospace Jetstream Series
3100 and 3200 Service Bulletin 32-JA070241, dated July 13, 2007.
    (2) Repetitively thereafter inspect the left and right nose
wheel attachments to the axle at the intervals specified in Table 1
of this AD following British Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and
3200 Service Bulletin 32-JA070241, dated July 13, 2007. If during
any repetitive inspection the gap measurement changes from the
previous inspection measurement, adjust the repetitive inspection
interval as necessary based on Table 1 of this AD.

                Table 1.--Repetitive Inspection Intervals
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Then repetitively inspect at
      If the measured gap size is:           the following intervals:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.002 through 0.005 inches (0.05         Within 500 hours time-in-
 through 0.13 mm).                        service (TIS).
More than 0.005 through 0.010 inches     Within 1,000 hours TIS.
 (0.13 through 0.25 mm).
More than 0.010 through 0.020 inches     Within 2,000 hours TIS.
 (0.25 through 0.51 mm).
More than 0.020 inches (0.51 mm).......  Within 3,000 hours TIS.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (3) Before further flight, if during any of the inspections
required in paragraphs (f)(1) or (f)(2) of this AD you find the gap
between the inner flange of the outer cone and the axle end face is
less than 0.002 inches (0.05 mm), replace all worn parts.

    Note 1: Replacement of parts does not constitute terminating
action for the inspection requirements of this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. EL09-29-000; Docket No. EL09-30-000]

NorthWestern Corporation; Mountain States Transmission Intertie,
LLC, NorthWestern Corporation; Supplemental Notice of Technical
Conference

March 5, 2009.
    By notice issued on February 25, 2009, Commission Staff established
an informal technical conference in the above-referenced proceedings to
be held on Thursday, March 12, 2009, at 1 p.m. (EDT), at the offices of
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426 (February 25 Notice).
    The technical conference will afford Commission Staff and
interested persons an opportunity to informally discuss issues
associated with the Mountain States Transmission Intertie, LLC (MSTI)
and Collector Projects proposed in the above-mentioned dockets. As
indicated in the February 25 Notice, Commission Staff is now providing
further details relating to the issues to be discussed at the
conference.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On March 3, 2009, NorthWestern filed an answer to protests
in Docket Nos. EL09-29-000 and EL09-30-000. We note that
NorthWestern answered some of the protestors' and Staff's concerns
in that answer; however, Staff would still like to further discuss
the topics listed in the instant notice, even where there is overlap
with the answers already provided.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rates and Service on the MSTI and Collector Projects

     Explain the proposed rate structures for the Collector
Project and for MSTI.
     Explain how transmission rates will be calculated for
transmission service on the NorthWestern Corporation (Northwestern)
system in relation to transmission service on the Collector Project
and/or MSTI, and explain whether the proposals will result in rate
pancaking (i.e., separate rates for service on each entity or segment)
or a form of ``And'' pricing.
     What cost-based alternatives to the MSTI project, not
affiliated with NorthWestern, do customers have in the relevant
geographic area?
     Identify any benefits to customers (other than the MSTI
customers) associated with closing the 500kV loop in the Pacific
Northwest. Describe how those benefits, if any, are reflected in the
``negotiated'' rates to MSTI customers.

Distinctions Between the MSTI and Collector Projects

     Setting aside the statement that MSTI is a stand-alone
entity, what distinguishes the Collector Project from MSTI?
     Explain how and by whom service on MSTI will be scheduled,
generation using the line will be dispatched, and the line will be
maintained.
     Discuss the affiliation between NorthWestern and MSTI and
distinguish it from the affiliate concerns addressed in Chinook Power
Transmission, LLC, 126 FERC ] 61,134 (2009).

Open Season Issues

     To the extent the Collector Project or MSTI are sized with
greater capacity than is requested in the open season, who will pay for
the excess capacity? What rights will be associated with such
additional payments? If projects are sized at less than the capacity
requested in the open season, how will requests for capacity be
rationed?
     Will customers have exit rights if the offered capacity is
greater than or less than what they requested in the open season? If
so, what are those exit rights? Are there any penalties for
withdrawing?
     Explain whether and under what circumstances NorthWestern
will permit customers to opt out of the Collector cluster study.
     Describe NorthWestern's pre-open season industry interest
contact process and the results of those contacts.

Queue Issues

     Provide details about the current transmission service
requests in NorthWestern's queue, including, but not limited to, the
amount, when and how they were submitted, the terms of the requests,
and any commitments made by those customers or NorthWestern with
respect to those transmission service requests.
     Explain the reasoning for the preference afforded to MSTI
customers that are currently in NorthWestern's queue, and whether those
customers have entered into binding agreements to date.

System Configuration and Siting Issues

     Describe the physical configuration of the Collector and
MSTI Projects and how they are interconnected to the NorthWestern
system, and each other.
     Describe the paths and sources of energy that may flow
onto or from the Collector Project and MSTI through NorthWestern's
existing system or from other systems.
     Describe any filings related to the Collector and MSTI
Projects that have thus far been filed with Montana or Idaho state
agencies.
     Has NorthWestern or MSTI obtained rights to eminent domain
through all or any part of the MSTI project area?

Requested Waivers

     Explain the basis for and justification supporting the
requests for waivers for the Collector Project, and specifically the
waiver of the requirement to file unexecuted service agreements with
the Commission and the waiver of the requirement regarding posting of
transmission service request studies information.
    The Petitioners \2\ should be prepared to address these issues, as
well as the concerns raised in the protests or by interested persons at
the technical conference. Petitioners are also invited to provide
additional support for the filings.
    All interested persons are permitted to attend. For further
information please contact either Timothy Duggan at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Katie Detweiler at<PHONE_NUMBER> or

Subject: Re: Number of Stack Test Companies

John:

I think that the degree to which your rule making spurs new candidates
(and renewals, as Gail suggests) will determine the percentage of
companies with the qualified testers and not whether SES or ETA will be
a bottleneck.  ETA is the only company contracted to conduct the
QSTI/QSTO exams for SES (i.e., register candidates, prepare the
paperwork, and grade the exams).  ETA hires proctors wherever needed so
there is a good deal of flexibility and capacity if the demand is there.
 SES is responsible for the exam questions and for reviewing and acting
on applications.  SES can manage, review, and act on large number of
applications; we have done that before.  I think SES and ETA have the
capacity to handle an increased number of requests, even a dramatic
increase.

Gail,

Thanks.  I noticed that many companies are listed several times because
they have more than one QSTI.  When I remove the duplicate listings, I
get about 110 companies.  If there are about 400 stack test companies
in the U.S., then about 28% of U.S. stack test companies have at least
one QSTI at the present time.

How high a percentage of companies with at least one QSTI can we get by
about May 2011?

We just posted an updated list on the SES website (I'm attaching that

complete list because, again, people have to contact us to get on the
list.  I know of at least one or two new companies that are not on this

400 companies with about 4000 total people in the US.

If you wish, I can go through my database and give you a number for
companies that have at least one QSTI, even for those not listed on the

110 companies listed on the SES web site that have at least one QSTI (I
know that this is probably an underestimate because not everyone wanted

Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Casper, WY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D airspace, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface, and removes
Class E airspace designated as an extension, at Casper/Natrona County
International Airport, Casper WY. After a biennial review, the FAA
finds this action necessary to accommodate airspace redesign for the
safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
within the National Airspace System. Also, this action updates the
airport's name and geographic coordinates for the associated Class D
and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's current aeronautical
database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 28, 2019. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use

of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies Class D and E airspace at Casper/Natrona
County International Airport, Casper, WY, in support of IFR operations
at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 4865; February 2, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-0223 to
amend Class D airspace; remove Class E airspace designated as an
extension; reduce Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface, and remove Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface, at Casper/Natrona County International Airport,
Casper WY. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. One comment was received from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association (AOPA).
    AOPA stated that the NPRM did not comply with FAA guidance in Order
7400.2, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, because a graphic was
not included in the docket. Additionally, AOPA encouraged the FAA to
follow their guidance in the Order by making the action effective date
coincidental to the sectional chart publication date.
    The FAA has determined AOPA's comments raised no substantive issues
with respect to the proposed changes to the airspace addressed in the
NPRM. To the extent the FAA failed to follow its policy guidance
reference publishing graphics in the docket and establishing the Class
D airspace effective date to match the sectional chart date, we note
the following.
    With respect to AOPA's comment addressing graphics, FAA Order
74002.L, para 2-3-3.c. requires the official docket to include
available graphics. For this airspace action, a graphic was produced
and added to the docket on February 15, 2018.
    Specific to AOPA's comment regarding the FAA already creating a
graphical depiction of new or modified airspace overlaid on a Sectional
Chart for quality assurance purposes, this is not correct nor required
in all cases. During the airspace reviews, airspace graphics may be
created, if deemed necessary, to determine if there are any terrain
issues, or if cases are considered complex. However, in many cases when
developing an airspace amendment proposal, a graphic is not needed. It
was unclear if the graphic AOPA suggested was already created with a
sectional chart background was actually the airspace graphic created by
the Aeronautical Informational Services office in preparation of
publishing the sectional charts. However, that graphic is normally
created after the rulemaking determination is published.
    With respect to AOPA's comment addressing effective dates, FAA
Order 7400.2L, para 2-3-7.a.4. states that, to the extent practicable,
Class D airspace area and restricted area rules should become effective
on a sectional chart date and that consideration should be given to
selecting a sectional chart date that matches a 56-day en route chart
cycle date. The FAA does consider publishing Class D airspace amendment
effective dates to coincide with the publication of sectional charts,
to the extent practicable; however, this consideration is accomplished
after the NPRM comment period ends. Substantive comments received to
NPRMs, flight safety concerns, management of IFR operations at affected
airports, and immediacy of requiring proposed airspace amendments are
some of the factors that must be taken into consideration when
selecting the appropriate effective date. After considering all
factors, the FAA may determine that selecting an effective date that
conforms to a 56-day enroute chart cycle date that is not coincidental
to sectional chart dates is better for the NAS and users than awaiting
the next sectional chart date.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11C, dated
August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class D airspace and Class E surface area airspace at
Casper/Natrona County International Airport (formerly Natrona County
International Airport) to within a 4.9-mile radius (from a 4.3-mile
radius) of the airport from the airport 294[deg] bearing clockwise to
the airport 193[deg] bearing, and within a 7-mile radius (from a 4.3-
mile radius) of the airport from the 193[deg] bearing clockwise to the
airport 294[deg] bearing.
    This action also removes Class E airspace designated as an
extension to Class D or E surface area.
    Additionally, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface is reduced to within a 9.5-mile radius of the airport (from
a 24-mile radius) from the airport 248[deg] bearing clockwise to the
airport 294[deg] bearing, and within a 7-mile radius from the airport
294[deg] bearing clockwise to the airport 004[deg] bearing, with
segments extending to 13.5 miles northeast, 10.4 miles east, 16.9 miles
southwest. Also, Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet
above the surface is removed since it is wholly contained within the
larger Casper Class E en route airspace, and duplication is not needed.
    This rule also updates the airport's geographic coordinates in the
associated Class D and E airspace to reflect the FAA's current
aeronautical database. Lastly, this action replaces the outdated term
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'' in
the Class D and associated Class E airspace legal descriptions. These
modifications are necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental

Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace
action is not expected to cause any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Virginia; Amendments to Virginia's Regulation Regarding the Sulfur
Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia (Virginia). This revision
pertains to amendments of Virginia's regulations regarding the 2010 1-
hour primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for sulfur
dioxide (SO2). This action is being taken under the Clean
Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective on March 5, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Throughout this document, whenever ``we,'' ``us,'' or ``our'' is
used, we mean EPA. On October 14, 2011 (76 FR 63859), EPA published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) for Virginia. The NPR proposed
approval of amendments to Virginia's regulation regarding the
SO2 NAAQS. The formal SIP revision was submitted by Virginia
on July 12, 2011. Additional background information behind this SIP
revision is discussed in detail in the NPR. EPA received no comments on
this NPR.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    In June 2010, EPA revised the primary SO2 NAAQS,
establishing a 1-hour standard at the level of 75 parts per billion
(ppb). The amendments to Virginia's regulations include the adoption of
the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS and the nullification of the
existing annual and 24-hour primary SO2 NAAQS one year after
area designations for the 2010 1-hour primary SO2 NAAQS.
These amendments can be found under Regulation 9VAC5-30-30. There were
also administrative changes regarding these amendments. These changes
include updates to documents incorporated by reference under 40 CFR
Part 50, as well as administrative changes regarding those updates.
These changes can be found under Regulation 9VAC5-20-21.E.1.

III. General Information Pertaining to SIP Submittals From the
Commonwealth of Virginia

    In 1995, Virginia adopted legislation that provides, subject to
certain conditions, for an environmental assessment (audit)
``privilege'' for voluntary compliance evaluations performed by a
regulated entity. The legislation further addresses the relative burden
of proof for parties either asserting the privilege or seeking
disclosure of documents for which the privilege is claimed. Virginia's
legislation also provides, subject to certain conditions, for a penalty
waiver for violations of environmental laws when a regulated entity
discovers such violations pursuant to a voluntary compliance evaluation
and voluntarily discloses such violations to the Commonwealth and takes
prompt and appropriate measures to remedy the violations. Virginia's
Voluntary Environmental Assessment Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-
1198, provides a privilege that protects from disclosure documents and
information about the content of those documents that are the product
of a voluntary environmental assessment. The Privilege Law does not
extend to documents or information (1) that are generated or developed
before the commencement of a voluntary environmental assessment; (2)
that are prepared independently of the assessment process; (3) that
demonstrate a clear, imminent and substantial danger to the public
health or environment; or (4) that are required by law.
    On January 12, 1998, the Commonwealth of Virginia Office of the
Attorney General provided a legal opinion that states that the
Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1198, precludes granting a privilege
to documents and information ``required by law,'' including documents
and information ``required by Federal law to maintain program
delegation, authorization or approval,'' since Virginia must ``enforce
Federally authorized environmental programs in a manner that is no less
stringent than their Federal counterparts. * * *'' The opinion
concludes that ``[r]egarding Sec.  10.1-1198, therefore, documents or
other information needed for civil or criminal enforcement under one of
these programs could not be privileged because such documents and
information are essential to pursuing enforcement in a manner required
by Federal law to maintain program delegation, authorization or
approval.''
    Virginia's Immunity Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1199, provides that
``[t]o the extent consistent with requirements imposed by Federal
law,'' any person making a voluntary disclosure of information to a
state agency regarding a violation of an environmental statute,
regulation, permit, or administrative order is granted immunity from
administrative or civil penalty. The Attorney General's January 12,
1998 opinion states that the quoted language renders this statute
inapplicable to enforcement of any Federally authorized programs, since
``no immunity could be afforded from administrative, civil, or criminal
penalties because granting such immunity would not be consistent with
Federal law, which is one of the criteria for immunity.''
    Therefore, EPA has determined that Virginia's Privilege and
Immunity statutes will not preclude the Commonwealth from enforcing its
program consistent with the Federal requirements. In any event, because
EPA has also determined that a state audit privilege and immunity law
can affect only state enforcement and cannot have any impact on Federal
enforcement authorities, EPA may at any time invoke its authority under
the CAA, including, for example, sections 113, 167, 205, 211 or 213, to
enforce the requirements or prohibitions of the state plan,
independently of any state enforcement effort. In addition, citizen
enforcement under section 304 of the CAA is likewise unaffected by
this, or any, state audit privilege or immunity law.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Virginia SIP revision that adopts the 2010 1-
hour primary SO2 NAAQS under Regulation 9VAC5-30-30 and
updates documents incorporated by reference found under 40 CFR Part 50
under Regulation 9VAC5-20-21.E.1.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by April 3, 2012. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action.
    This action pertaining to amendments of Virginia's regulations
regarding the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-121, OMB Control No. 3235-0110]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form T-1.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Form T-1 (17 CFR 269.1) is a statement of eligibility and
qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et
seq.) of a corporation designated to act as a trustee under an
indenture. The information is used to determine whether the corporation
is qualified to serve as a trustee. Form T-1 is filed on occasion. The
information required by Form T-1 is mandatory. This information is
publicly available on EDGAR. Form T-1 takes approximately 15 hours per
response to prepare and is filed by approximately 2 respondents. We
estimate that 25% of the 15 hours (4 hours) is prepared by the company
for a total annual reporting burden of 8 hours (4 hours per response x
2 responses).
    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 control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) 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>Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30
days of this notice.

    Dated: December 4, 2015.
Robert W. Errett,
Deputy Secretary.
