security listed pursuant to Exchange Rule 14.11.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 66422 (February 17,
2012), 77 FR 11179 (February 24, 2012) (SR-BATS-2012-010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now, the Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 14.13(b)(3) which would
provide for a Corporate Actions Fee. The proposed Corporate Actions Fee
would apply to a Company \6\ making a corporate action that would
require the Exchange to update its records. For example, a change to
the Company name or symbol, par value, shareholder rights plan, or
reverse stock split would be subject to the proposed fee.\7\ Such a fee
would be used to address the costs associated with revising the
Exchange's records when Companies engage in such corporate actions. The
Exchange notes that Companies making multiple changes (e.g., a change
to both the symbol and par value) that results from the same corporate
action in an individual security would be charged a total of $2,500,
and would not be assessed a separate Corporate Actions Fee for each
change. The Exchange proposes to implement the proposed fee effective
January 1, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Exchange Rule 14.1(a)(3).
    \7\ The Exchange notes that the proposed Corporate Actions Fee
is substantively similar to those charged by NYSE Arca, Inc.
(``Arca''). See the Administrative Fees provided under the Arca
Equities Listing Fees at https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/nyse-arca/NYSE_Arca_Listing_Fee_Schedule.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule changes are consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\8\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5),\9\ in
particular, as it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation
of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its issuers, and it
does not unfairly discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that proposed Rule 14.13(b)(3) which
implements a Corporate Action Fee for Companies with securities listed
on the Exchange is a reasonable, fair and equitable, and not unfairly
discriminatory allocation of fees and other charges because it would
apply equally for all Companies making a corporate action that would
require the Exchange to update its records. The Exchange believes that
charging such a Corporate Action Fee is reasonable given the additional
resources required by the Exchange in connection with such a corporate
action.
    Furthermore, the marketplace for listings is extremely competitive
and there are several other national securities exchanges that offer
ETP listings. Transfers between listing venues occur frequently for
numerous reasons, including listing fees. The proposed rule change
reflects a competitive pricing structure, which the Exchange believes
will enhance competition both among ETP issuers and listing venues, to
the benefit of investors. Furthermore, as noted above the proposed
change is substantively similar to fees charged by Arca.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Supra note 14 [sic].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the foregoing, the Exchange believes that the proposed
rule changes are consistent with the Act.

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. With respect to the proposed
new Corporate Actions Fee, the Exchange does not believe that the
changes burden competition, but instead, enhance competition, as it is
intended to address the costs associated with revising the Exchange's
records when Companies engage in corporate actions. As such, the
proposal is a competitive proposal designed to enhance pricing
competition among listing venues and implement pricing for corporate
actions that better reflects expenses associated with listing ETPs on
the Exchange. The Exchange does not believe the proposed amendment
would burden intramarket competition as the proposed fee would be
assessed to all issuers uniformly that require a change to Exchange
records resulting from a corporate action.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from Members or other interested
parties.

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) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
thereunder. 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 necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2145]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before September 27, 2021.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2145, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that

are required. They should not be construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood hazard
determinations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements
of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

[EPA-R09-OAR-2023-0479; FRL-11425-02-R9]

Determination To Defer Sanctions; California; California Air
Resources Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Interim final determination.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim
final determination that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has
submitted a rule and other materials that correct deficiencies in its
Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') state implementation plan (SIP)
provisions concerning emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
from vapor recovery systems of gasoline cargo tanks. This determination
is based on a proposed approval, published elsewhere in this Federal
Register, of CARB's California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Division
3, Chapter 1, Subchapter 8, Article 1, Section 94014 (``Section
94014'') which regulates this source category. The effect of this
interim final determination is that the imposition of sanctions that
were triggered by a previous limited disapproval by the EPA in 2022 is
now deferred. If the EPA finalizes its approval of CARB's submission,
relief from these sanctions will become permanent.

DATES: This interim final determination is effective November 2, 2023.
However, comments will be accepted on or before December 4, 2023.

I. Background

    On April 5, 2022 (87 FR 19631), the EPA issued a final limited
approval and limited disapproval action for the CARB rule listed in
Table 1 that was submitted to the EPA for inclusion into the California
SIP. The action addressed the procedures CARB uses to certify vapor
recovery systems on cargo tank trucks used to transport gasoline from
bulk terminals to gasoline dispensing facilities.

                                   Table 1--CARB Rule With Previous EPA Action

 Section 94014.                    Tanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the April 5, 2022 final rule, we determined that although the
CARB regulation strengthened the SIP and was largely consistent with
the requirements of the CAA, the submitted rule included a deficiency
that precluded our full approval of the rule into the SIP. CARB's
previously submitted Section 94014 incorporated by reference
Certification Procedure CP-204 (``CP-204'') that allowed for CARB's
Executive Officer to approve alternate test procedures without EPA
approval. The EPA found that this provision was an instance of
unbounded director's discretion. Pursuant to section 179 of the CAA and
our regulations at 40 CFR 52, the disapproval action on CP-204 under
title I, part D started a sanctions clock for imposition of offset
sanctions 18 months after the action's effective date of November 5,
2023, and highway sanctions 6 months later.
    On July 12, 2023, the CARB revised Section 94014 and CP-204, and on
September 13, 2023, submitted it to the EPA for approval into the
California SIP as shown in Table 2 below.

\1\ The California Air Resources Board amended the introductory paragraph of 17 California Code of Regulations
  Section 94014 on July 12, 2023, and the changed was filed with Thomson Reuters Westlaw on August 29, 2023.
  Therefore, the amendment for Section 94014 will be recorded as July 12, 2023.

    On September 25, 2023, the Submittal was determined to meet the
completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 51 Appendix V, which must be met
before formal EPA review.
    The revised CARB section 94014 and CP-204 in Table 2 is intended to
address the disapproval issues in our April 5, 2022 final rule. Based
on this proposed action approving Section 94014 and CP-204 into the
California SIP, we are also making this interim final determination,
effective on publication, to defer imposition of the offset sanctions
and highway sanctions that were triggered by our final action on April
5, 2022, because we believe that the submittal corrects the
deficiencies that triggered such sanctions.
    The EPA is providing the public with an opportunity to comment on
this deferral of sanctions. If comments are submitted that change our
assessment described in this interim final determination and the
proposed approval of CARB Section 94014 and CP-204, we would take final
action to lift this deferral of sanctions under 40 CFR 52.31. If no
comments are submitted that change our assessment, then all sanctions
and any sanction clocks triggered by our final action on April 5, 2022,
would be permanently terminated on the effective date of our final
approval of Section 94014 and CP-204.

II. The EPA's Evaluation and Action

    We are making an interim final determination to defer CAA section
179 sanctions associated with our limited disapproval action on April
5, 2022, of CARB's section 94014 with respect to the requirements of
part D of title I of the CAA. This determination is based on our
concurrent proposal to fully approve CARB Section 94014 which resolves
the deficiencies that triggered sanctions under section 179 of the CAA.
    Because the EPA has preliminarily determined that CARB Section
94014 and CP-204, amended on July 12, 2023, address the limited
disapproval issues under part D of title I of the CAA identified in our
2022 final action and

the amended rule is now fully approvable, relief from sanctions should
be provided as quickly as possible. Therefore, the EPA is invoking the
good cause exception under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) in
not providing an opportunity for comment before this action takes
effect (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)). However, by this action, the EPA is
providing the public with a chance to comment on the EPA's
determination after the effective date, and the EPA will consider any
comments received in determining whether to reverse such action.
    The EPA believes that notice-and-comment rulemaking before the
effective date of this action is impracticable and contrary to the
public interest. The EPA has reviewed the State's submittal and,
through its proposed action, is indicating that it is more likely than
not that the State has submitted a revision to the SIP that corrects
deficiencies under part D of the Act that were the basis for the action
that started the sanctions clocks. Therefore, it is not in the public
interest to impose sanctions. The EPA believes that it is necessary to
use the interim final rulemaking process to defer sanctions while the
EPA completes its rulemaking process on the approvability of the
State's submittal. Moreover, with respect to the effective date of this
action, the EPA is invoking the good cause exception to the 30-day
notice requirement of the APA because the purpose of this notice is to
relieve a restriction (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1)).

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action defers sanctions and imposes no additional
requirements. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     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 Clean Air Act.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on Tribal Governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
The EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' The EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    The State did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing
regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA
did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action.
Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there
is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of
E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-
income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    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 January 2, 2024. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the EPA Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule for the purpose of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (see CAA section 307(b)(2)).

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, DC

Issued by the Department of Transportation on February 5, 2004

AMENDMENT TO NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN –

DOCKETS OST-03-15021 and OST-99-6210

________________________________________________________________________
______

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

BACKGROUND

On January 30, 2004, the Department granted (in the above-referenced
dockets) Delta’s request for an interim dormancy waiver to preserve
Delta’s seven U.S.-Argentina frequencies from the March 31, 2004,
blanket dormancy waiver expiration date (applied to all U.S. carriers
with limited international route authority by Department Order
2003-4-18) until December 1, 2004.  In support of its request for the
waiver, Delta said that it intends to resume daily nonstop service
between Atlanta and Buenos Aires effective December 1, 2004.

The Department’s Notice granting the waiver included a standard
footnote to the effect that Delta’s allocation would expire
automatically with respect to any frequency for which service had not
begun by the December 1 expiration date of the waiver.

Delta submitted a letter dated February 3, 2004, with copies to all
persons served with its

January 27 request, in which it states that

While it is clear that the Department intended to allow Delta to begin
service on December 1, footnote 1 of the NOAT could be read to imply
that all of Delta’s frequencies must be operated prior to December 1.
Delta is proceeding in accordance with its announced and DOT-approved
service plans to begin daily service on

December 1.  However, the Department may deem it advisable to clarify
the language of footnote 1 to more accurately reflect what was requested
and approved.

DISCUSSION

In light of the language of our standard footnote, Delta would need its
dormancy waiver to run slightly beyond the December 1, 2004 date it
requested in order to provide a reasonable opportunity for full
introduction of the new service as proposed without the risk of losing
frequencies.  We have concluded that an extension of the dormancy date
to December 15 would provide Delta that full opportunity.   In light of
the non-controversial nature of Delta’s January 27 waiver request, we
will accordingly amend the expiration date of Delta’s dormancy waiver
to December 15, 2004.  Should Delta need an extension beyond that date,
it will need to request such extension formally, and the request will be
subject to the provisos set forth in the Remarks Section of our January
30 Notice of Action Taken.  Finally, we urge all interested parties to
take note of the language of the standard footnote involved here and to
take that language into consideration when calculating any requests for
dormancy waivers.

DISPOSITION

XX  Amended  Expiration Date of January 30 Notice of Action Taken to
December 15, 2004

XX  Action taken by:	Paul L. Gretch, Director

			Office of International Aviation

________________________________________________________________________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that

 (1) our action was consistent with Department policy; and (2) grant of
the authority was consistent with the public interest.  To the extent
not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced Docket.  We may
amend, modify, or revoke the action taken in this Notice at any time
without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

An electronic version of this document is available on the World Wide
Web at:

http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_aviation.asp

 Letter to Director, Office of International Aviation, dated February 3,
2004.

 We will make a corresponding amendment to the standard footnote,
substituting December 15 for December 1.

 Delta’s waiver from the dormancy condition is effective through
December 15, 2004, or until the date on which Delta begins service with
each of these frequencies, whichever occurs earlier.  As to any
frequency with which Delta does not begin service by December 15, 2004,
its frequency allocation with respect to that frequency expires
automatically.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2018-0008-N-1]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice
announces that FRA is forwarding the Information Collection Requests
(ICRs) abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and comment. The ICRs describe the information collections
and their expected burden. On October 11, 2017, FRA published a notice
providing a 60-day period for public comment on the ICRs.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
March 22, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the ICRs to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: FRA Desk Officer.
Comments may also be sent via email to OMB at the following address:
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad Safety, Safety
Regulatory Analysis Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad Administration,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590
(telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>); or Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Office of Administration, Office of Information
Technology, RAD-20, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493-
6132).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
issue two notices seeking public comment on information collection
activities before OMB may approve paperwork packages. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8-12. On October 11, 2017, FRA published a 60-
day notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on the ICRs for
which it is now seeking OMB approval. See 82 FR 47595. FRA received no
comments in response to this notice.
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. Federal law
requires OMB to approve or disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and
60 days after the 30-day notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5
CFR 1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB
believes the 30-day notice informs the regulated community to file
relevant comments and affords the agency adequate time to digest public
comments before it renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
Therefore, respondents should submit their respective comments to OMB
within 30 days of publication to best ensure having their full effect.
    Comments are invited on the following ICRs regarding: (1) Whether
the information collection activities are necessary for FRA to properly
execute its functions, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's estimates of the burden of
the information collection activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to determine the estimates; (3) ways
for FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
being collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    The summaries below describe the ICRs that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
    Title: Occupational Noise Exposure for Railroad Operating
Employees.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0571.
    Abstract: FRA uses the collection of information to ensure
railroads covered by this rule establish and implement noise
monitoring, hearing conservation, and audiometric testing programs.
This collection also includes hearing conservation training programs
that protect railroad employees from the damaging and potentially
dangerous effects of excessive noise in the everyday rail environment.
    Request: Extension with change of a current information collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Form(s): N/A.
    Respondent Universe: 502 railroads.
    Frequency of Submission: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Responses: 164,734.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 28,311 hours.

    Title: Conductor Certification.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0596.

    Abstract: FRA's conductor certification regulation (49 CFR part
242) requires railroads to have a formal program for certifying
conductors. As part of that program, railroads are required to have a
formal process for training prospective conductors and determining that
all persons are competent before permitting them to serve as a
conductor. FRA intended the regulation to ensure that only those
persons who meet minimum Federal safety standards serve as conductors.
FRA collects information to ensure that railroads and their employees
fully comply with all the requirements of part 242, including a
conductor certification/recertification program, fitness requirements,
initial and periodic testing of conductors, territorial qualifications,
etc.
    Type of Request: Extension with change of a current information
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Form(s): N/A.
    Respondent Universe: 704 railroads.
    Frequency of Submission: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Responses: 268,799.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 856,406 hours.
    Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR 1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi),
FRA informs all interested parties that it may not conduct or sponsor,
and a respondent is not required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing a virtual public meeting to begin the process for
the reauthorization of the Biosimilar User Fee Act (BsUFA). The
authority to collect user fees under BsUFA expires in September 2022.
Without new legislation, FDA would no longer be able to collect user
fees for future fiscal years to fund the biosimilar biological product
review process. Before FDA begins negotiations with the regulated
industry on BsUFA reauthorization, the Agency is holding the public
meeting announced in this notice, at which stakeholders, including all
members of the public, may present their views on reauthorization,
including any suggestions for changes to the performance goals referred
to in the ``Biosimilar Biological Product Reauthorization Performance
Goals and Procedures Fiscal Years 2018 through 2022'' (the BsUFA II
Commitment Letter). In addition, FDA will provide a period of 30 days
after the public meeting for the public to submit written comments. The
purpose of this public meeting is to hear stakeholder views on BsUFA as
we consider elements to propose, update, or discontinue in the next
BsUFA. In addition to any other relevant information the public would
like to share, the FDA is interested in responses to the following
three general questions:
     What is your assessment of the overall performance of the
BsUFA program to date?
     What current elements should be retained, changed, or
discontinued to further strengthen and improve the program?
     What new elements should FDA consider adding to the
program to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the biosimilar
biologic review process?

II. What is BsUFA? What does it do?

    FDA provides the following information to help potential meeting
participants better understand the history and evolution of BsUFA and
its status. BsUFA is a law that authorizes FDA to assess and collect
fees from drug companies that submit marketing applications for
biosimilar biological products. BsUFA was originally enacted in 2012 as
the Biosimilar User Fee Act under the Food and Drug Administration
Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA, Pub. L. 112-144) for a period of 5
years. In 2017, BsUFA was renewed for five more years under the FDA
Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA, Pub. L. 115-52). BsUFA's intent is
to provide additional revenues so that FDA can hire staff, improve
systems, and continue a well-managed biosimilar biological product
review process to make biosimilar biological product therapies
available to patients sooner. As part of FDA's agreements with industry
during prior BsUFA authorizations, the Agency agreed to certain
performance and procedural goals and other commitments, which are
documented on FDA's website. The goals apply to the process for the
review of biosimilar biological product applications, including
biosimilar biological product development meetings, review of
applications and supplements, and other review activities. FDA's
website provides more information about BsUFA, including the statutory
text of the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA, Pub. L. 115-52),
the BsUFA II Commitment Letter, ``Biosimilar Authorization Performance
Goals and Procedures Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017'' (the BsUFA
Commitment Letter), key Federal Register documents, BsUFA-related
guidances, BsUFA user fee rates, performance reports, and financial
reports: https://www.fda.gov/industry/fda-user-fee-programs/biosimilar-user-fee-amendments.
    With the current authorization of BsUFA II under FDARA, FDA
implemented a review program (``the Program'') to promote the
efficiency and effectiveness of the first cycle review process and
minimize the number of review cycles necessary for approval. The
Program allowed for additional communication between the FDA review
team and applicants of biosimilar biological products, including pre-
submission meetings, mid-cycle communications and late-cycle meetings,
while adding 60 days to the review clock to provide for this increased
interaction and to address review issues to accommodate this additional
interaction. BsUFA II also includes commitments to advance development
of biosimilar biological products through further clarification of the
351(k) regulatory pathway, and to enhance capacity for biosimilar
regulations and guidance development, reviewer training, and timely
communication. More information on these commitments can be found in
the BsUFA II commitment letter at https://www.fda.gov/media/100573/download.
    BsUFA II established an independent fee structure and fee amounts
to ensure stable and predictable user fee funding, improve the
predictability of FDA funding and sponsor invoices, improve efficiency
by simplifying the administration of user fees, and enhance flexibility
of financial mechanisms to improve management of BsUFA program funding.
The structure also established a BsUFA target revenue based on BsUFA
program costs and updated the overall fee structure. The agreement also
included commitments to enhance management of user fee resources
through the development of a resource capacity planning capability and
third-party evaluation of program resource management, management of
the carryover balance, along with the publication and annual update of
a five-year financial plan.
    The current authorization also includes several commitments to
improve the hiring and retention of critical review staff through
modernization of FDA's hiring system, augmentation of hiring staff
capacity and capabilities, creation of a dedicated function focused on
staffing the program, reporting on hiring metrics, and a comprehensive
and continuous assessment of hiring and retention. A list of the
deliverables developed to meet BsUFA II commitments is available on the
FDA web page at https://www.fda.gov/industry/biosimilar-user-fee-amendments/completed-bsufa-ii-deliverables.

III. Public Meeting Information

A. Purpose and Scope of the Meeting

    The meeting format will include presentations by FDA and a series
