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 Exchange proposes to amend Rule 4370 (Additional Requirements
for Nasdaq-Listed Securities Issued by Nasdaq or its Affiliates)
regarding the requirements for the listing of securities that are
issued by the Exchange or any of its affiliates.
    Rule 4370 sets forth certain monitoring requirements that must be
met throughout the continued listing of securities issued by Nasdaq or
its affiliates. More specifically, Rule 4370 provides that, upon
initial and throughout continued listing of the Affiliate Security \3\
on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Nasdaq shall:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Pursuant to Rule 4370(a)(2), ``Affiliate Security'' means
any security issued by a Nasdaq Affiliate, with the exception of
Portfolio Depository Receipts as defined in Rule 5705(a)(1)(A) and
Index Fund Shares as defined in Rule 5705(b)(1)(A), and pursuant to
Rule 4370(a)(1), ``Nasdaq Affiliate'' means The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc. and any entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., where ``control'' means
that the one entity possesses, directly or indirectly, voting
control of the other entity either through ownership of capital
stock or other equity securities or through majority representation
on the board of directors or other management body of such entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     File a report quarterly (``Quarterly Report'') with the
Commission detailing Nasdaq's monitoring of (a) the Nasdaq Affiliate's
compliance with the listing requirements; and (b) the trading of the
Affiliate Security; and
     engage an independent accounting firm once a year to
review and prepare a report on the Affiliate Security to ensure that
the Nasdaq Affiliate is in compliance with the listing requirements
(``Annual Report'') and promptly forward to the Commission a copy of
the report prepared by the independent accounting firm.
    In discussions with the Commission Staff regarding the Exchange's
Rule 4370, it was determined that the Exchange no longer needs to
provide to the Commission copies of the reports specified in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (b)(2) thereunder; instead, the Exchange must provide these
reports to the Exchange's

Regulatory Oversight Committee. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to
amend Rule 4370 to remove the requirement that the Quarterly Report be
filed with the Commission and that copies of the Annual Report be
forwarded to the Commission, and to require instead that copies of each
such report be provided to Nasdaq's Regulatory Oversight Committee. In
addition, the Exchange proposes to modify the definition of ``Affiliate
Security'' in Rule 4370(a)(2) to include any Exchange-listed option on
any such security. Finally, the Exchange proposes to modify Rule
4370(b) to require that the Exchange also follow Rule 4370 upon initial
and throughout continued trading, not just listing, of the ``Affiliate
Security'' on the Exchange.
    No other changes would be made to Rule 4370, which would continue
to require that Nasdaq file a report with the Commission if it
determines that the Nasdaq Affiliate is not in compliance with the
listing requirements.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act \4\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) \5\ 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 regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest,
because the proposed changes would reduce the paperwork received by the
Commission and ease the burden of submitting the Quarterly and Annual
Reports, while continuing to help protect against concerns that the
Exchange will not effectively enforce its rules with respect to the
listing and trading of Affiliate Securities. The proposed rule change
would not change the information available to the Commission. The
Exchange understands that these reports are subject to Section 17A of
the Exchange Act \6\ and that it will be required to keep and preserve,
and to furnish to the Commission upon request, copies of these reports
in accordance with Rule 17a-1 thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q.
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.17a-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed change adding Exchange-
listed options to the definition of ``Affiliate Security'' in Rule
4370(a)(2) and requiring that the Exchange also follow Rule 4370 upon
initial and throughout continued trading, not just listing, of the
``Affiliate Security'' on the Exchange, will expand the scope of Rule
4370, which would help eliminate any perception of a potential conflict
of interest if a Nasdaq Affiliate seeks to list and/or trade an option
on an Affiliate Security on the Exchange and thus promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to a free and open
market and protect investors and the public interest by helping protect
against concerns that the Exchange will not effectively enforce its
rules with respect to the listing and trading of these securities.

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. The proposed rule change is not
intended to address competitive issues but rather to reduce the
paperwork received by the Commission, ease the burden of submitting the
Quarterly and Annual Reports, and provide greater clarity in the
Exchange's rules, without changing the information available to the
Commission.

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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of
Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \12\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Safety Zone; Mackinac Island 4th of July Fireworks, Lake Huron,
Mackinac Island, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on
Lake Huron, Mackinac Island, Michigan. This zone is intended to
restrict vessels from a portion of Lake Huron during the Mackinac
Island 4th of July Fireworks display on July 4, 2010. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to protect spectators and vessels from the
hazards associated with fireworks displays.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 p.m. on July 4, 2010, until 11
p.m. on July 5, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is contrary to the public interest
to delay the effective date of this rule. Delaying the effective date
by first publishing an NPRM would be contrary to the safety zone's
intended objective since immediate action is needed to protect person's
and vessels against the hazards associated with fireworks displays on
navigable waters. Such hazards include premature detonations, dangerous
detonations, dangerous projectiles and falling or burning debris.
Additionally, the zone should have negligible impact on vessel transits
due to the fact that vessels will be limited from the area for only two
hours and vessels can still transit in the majority of the area during
the event. Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Due to the need for immediate
action, the restriction of vessel traffic is necessary to protect life,
property and the environment; therefore, a 30-day notice is
impracticable.

Basis and Purpose

    This temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
vessels and spectators from the hazards associated with a fireworks
display. Based on the explosive hazards of fireworks, the Captain of
the Port Sault Sainte Marie has determined that fireworks launches
proximate to watercraft pose significant risk to public safety and
property. The likely combination of large numbers of recreation
vessels, congested waterways, darkness punctuated by bright flashes of
light, alcohol use, and debris falling into the water presents a
significant risk of serious injuries or fatalities. Establishing a
safety zone to control vessel movement around the location of the
launch platform will help ensure the safety of persons and property at
these events and help minimize the associated risks.

Discussion of Rule

    A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
spectators and vessels during the setup, and launching of fireworks in
conjunction with the Mackinac Island 4th of July fireworks display. The
fireworks display will occur between 9:45 p.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4,
2010. If the July 4th fireworks are cancelled due to inclement weather,
the fireworks display will occur between 9:45 p.m. and 11 p.m. on July
5, 2010.
    The safety zone will be enforced from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on July 4,
2010. If inclement weather postpones the event, the zone will be
enforced from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on July 5, 2010.
    The safety zone for the fireworks will encompass all waters of Lake
Huron within a 500-foot radius of the fireworks launch site, centered
approximately 460 yards south of Biddle Point, at position
45[deg]50'32.82'' N, 084[deg]37'03.18'' W: [DATUM: NAD 83].
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated on-scene
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety
zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector
Sault Sainte Marie, or his on-scene representative. The Captain of the
Port or his on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    Although this regulation will restrict access to the area, the
effect of the rule will not be significant because of the minimal time
that vessels will be restricted from the zone and the zone is an area
where the Coast Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners
from the zones' activation.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.

    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of Lake Huron, Mackinac Island, Michigan
between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4, 2010.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: This
rule will be in effect for two hours for one event. Vessel traffic can
safely pass outside the safety zone during the event. In the event that
this temporary safety zone affects shipping, commercial vessels may
request permission from the Captain of the Port Sault Sainte Marie to
transit through the safety zone. The Coast Guard will give notice to
the public via a Broadcast to Mariners that the regulation is in
effect.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of
the Instruction. This rule establishes a temporary safety zone. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Extension: Form F-7

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

    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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form F-7 (17 CFR 239.37) is a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) used to register
securities that are offered for cash upon the exercise of rights
granted to a registrant's existing security holders to purchase or
subscribe such securities. The information collected is intended to
ensure that the information required to be filed by the Commission
permits verification of compliance with

securities law requirements and assures the public availability of such
information. Form F-7 takes approximately 4 hours per response to
prepare and is filed by approximately 3 respondents. We estimate that
25% of 4 hours per response (one hour) is prepared by the company for a
total annual reporting burden of 3 hours (1 hour per response x 3
responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication by October 3, 2022.
    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.
    Please direct your written comment to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:

RIN 2070-AB27

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances;
Withdrawal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs)
promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 26
chemical substances, which were the subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs). EPA published these SNURs using direct final rulemaking
procedures, which requires EPA to take certain actions if an adverse
comment is received. EPA received adverse comments regarding the SNURs
identified in the direct final rule. Therefore, the Agency is
withdrawing the direct final rule SNURs identified in this document, as
required under the direct final rulemaking procedures.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 83 FR 49806 on October 3,
2018 (FRL-9983-82) is withdrawn effective December 3, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0627, is available at
http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics Docket (OPPT Docket), Environmental Protection Agency Docket
Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this action apply to me?

    A list of potentially affected entities is provided in the Federal
Register of October 3, 2018 (83 FR 49806) (FRL-9983-82). If you have
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. What direct final SNURs are being withdrawn?

    In the Federal Register of October 3, 2018 (83 FR 49806) (FRL-9983-
82), EPA issued direct final SNURs for 26 chemical substances that are
identified in the document. Because the Agency received adverse
comments regarding the SNURs identified in the document, EPA is
withdrawing the direct final SNURs issued for these 26 chemical
substances, which were the subject of PMNs. In addition to the Direct
Final SNURs, elsewhere in the same issue of the Federal Register of
October 3, 2018 (83 FR 49903) (FRL-9983-81), EPA issued proposed SNURs
covering these 26 chemical substances. EPA will address all adverse
public comments in a subsequent final rule, based on the proposed rule.

III. Good Cause Finding

    EPA determined that this document is not subject to the 30-day
delay of effective date generally required by the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(d)) because of the time limitations
for publication in the Federal Register. This document must publish on
or before the effective date of the direct final rule containing the
direct final SNURs being withdrawn.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action withdraws regulatory requirements that have not gone
into effect and which contain no new or amended requirements and
reopens a comment period. As such, the Agency has determined that this
action will not have any adverse impacts, economic or otherwise. The
statutory and Executive Order review requirements applicable to the
direct final rules were discussed in the October 3, 2018 Federal
Register (83 FR 49806). Those review requirements do not apply to this
action because it is a withdrawal and does not contain any new or
amended requirements.

V. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). Section 808 of the CRA allows the
issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided
by CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public
procedure is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. As required by 5 U.S.C. 808(2), this determination is
supported by a brief statement in Unit III.

List of Subjects

40 CFR Part 9

    Environmental protection, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Environmental protection, Chemicals, Hazardous substances,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

The visit began with a presentation on the plant operations and products. The facility does special imprints including screen printing, hot stamping, pad printing, heat transfers, and vinyl decals. SpecialMade also provides component parts and product modifications if requested by a customer.

Based on the customer requirements, a screen is made with the logo or other information to be screenprinted This is done by taking a fabric and stretching it over a frame. The frame containing the logo is placed in a printing machine. Containers selected and purchased by the customer are flame treated to allow the ink to adhere to polyethylene surface. The container is placed under the screen. An operator using a previously mixed ink solution spreads the ink on the screen and then imprints the image onto the container. Approximately 2000 grams of ink is used per day. The containers are then dried under ultraviolet light and packaged for the customer.

Less than 20% of the company's business involves printing. 95% of the printing involves ultraviolet light to facilitate drying. The company began using the UV lights in the 1980s because it cured on the containers faster. SpecialMade found that air drying with solvent was not productive. After the containers are printed, the screen is cleaned with ICC 856 spray/ wipe. This spray contains glycol ethers. The operator sprays the solvent on the screen by atomization. This is the only method that has proved acceptable with this particular solvent. Over the last eight years, the company has reduced its wipe usage from 2000 3000 wipes per year to approximately 1000 per year. The decrease in wipes is a direct result of a decrease in solvent volume. The company uses approximately 30 gallons of solvent. It takes up to two years to fill a 55 gallon drum with wipes. The company does not use cloth ( reusable) towels because of roughness and lint. The specific grade of the towel is important because of the lint that can be left on the screen during cleaning. The paper towels are reused as much as possible before being compacted and disposed with the trash.

The facility emitted 18 pounds of volatile organic carbons into the air last year. Even with this low level, the facility has an air permit. SpecialMade uses cloth shop towels in its maintenance area. These are collected and taken to a commercial laundry ( not a laundry service).

SpecialMade is a conditionally exempt small quantity generator.

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

    BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'') is proposing to
temporarily suspend the requirements of Exchange Rule 2050 and related
Exchange rules concerning the approval of new Options Participants in
order to approve Apex Clearing Corporation, f/k/a Ridge Clearing and
Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. (``Apex Clearing'') as an Options
Participant on BOX Market LLC, an options trading facility of the
Exchange (``BOX''), subject to Apex Clearing complying with Exchange
rules for a new Options Participant within 30 calendar days of the date
that Apex Clearing is provisionally approved as an Options Participant.
The Exchange is

also proposing to accept Apex Clearing's assumption of all of the
existing clearing agreements and arrangements currently in effect
between Penson Financial Services Inc. (``PFSI'') and various other
Options Participants by execution of a global agreement thereto. A copy
of this filing is available on the Exchange's Web site at
www.boxexchange.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 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 Exchange proposes this rule filing to temporarily suspend the
requirements of Exchange Rule 2050 and related rules regarding the
approval of BOX Options Participants in order to immediately approve
Apex Clearing as a BOX Options Participant. The Exchange proposes this
temporary suspension on an emergency basis to ensure that Apex Clearing
can continue the clearing operations of PFSI without unnecessary
disruption, which could have a significant collateral impact to a
number of other Options Participants. The proposed temporary suspension
is contingent upon Apex having complied with all Exchange Rules for a
new BOX Options Participant within 30 calendar days of the date Apex
Clearing is provisionally approved as a BOX Options Participant
pursuant to this filing.
    On May 31, 2012, Apex Clearing Holdings, LLC (``Apex Holdings''),
Apex Clearing Solutions, LLC, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
(``Broadridge''), PFSI and Penson Worldwide, Inc. (``PWI'') (together,
the ``Parties'') consummated a transaction resulting in a change in
ownership of Apex Clearing.\5\ Broadridge, Apex Holdings, PWI and PFSI
each made capital investments in Apex Holdings, the holding company
parent of Apex Clearing. PFSI also assigned all of its U.S. clearing
contracts and all customer and introducing broker proprietary accounts
along with key personnel to Apex Clearing (the ``Transferring
Accounts'').\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Prior to the Transaction, Apex Clearing's name was Ridge
Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. Prior to the transaction,
Ridge Clearing & Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. contributed its
outsourcing operations and all associated personnel and systems to
its affiliated entity, Broadridge Securities Processing Solutions,
LLC (``BSPS'') where it will continue to provide operations support
and outsourcing services to a number of broker-dealers, including
Apex Clearing.
    \6\ See Penson Worldwide, Inc. Form 8-K dated May 31, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of the transaction, Apex Clearing, which is not a BOX
Options Participant, will provide the clearing and execution services
currently provided to the Transferring Accounts by PFSI. On May 31,
2012, Apex Clearing submitted an application for approval as a BOX
Options Participant. However, because of the expedited nature of the
transaction, Apex Clearing was unable to fully comply with Exchange
Rule 2050 and related rules applicable to new BOX Options Participants.
Because of the need for seamless continuity with respect to the
Transferring Accounts, Apex Clearing has requested that the Exchange
temporarily suspend its new Options Participant rules in order to
enable Apex Clearing's approval as a BOX Options Participant on an
expedited basis. Pursuant to its request, Apex Clearing will fully
comply with the Exchange's new Options Participant requirements within
30 calendar days after the provisional approval.
    Exchange Rule 2050 requires any applications for status as an
Options Participant to be made to the Exchange and to contain such
information as may be required by the Exchange rules. When a corporate
acquisition concerns an asset transfer only, and not an acquisition of
the corporate entity, BOX Options Participant status cannot be
transferred to the acquiring entity. The entity that proposes to
continue acquired business operations of a BOX Options Participant must
be separately approved as a BOX Options Participant.
    Among other things, to be approved as a BOX Options Participant,
the applicant must provide:
     An agreement for the applicant to be regulated by the
Exchange and recognize that the Exchange is obligated to undertake to
enforce compliance with the provisions of the Exchange Rules, its By-
Laws, its interpretations and policies and with the provisions of the
Act and regulations thereunder (Exchange Rule 2010).
     A written application with the name and address of the
applicant as well as an organizational chart and a description of the
applicant's proposed activities on BOX.
     A list and descriptive identification of those persons
associated with the applicant who are its executive officers,
directors, principal shareholders, and general partners (Exchange Rule
2050(g)).
     An agreement to maintain and make available to the
Exchange such books and records as may be required to be maintained by
the Commission or the Exchange Rules (Exchange Rule 2050(a)).
     Such other reasonable information with respect to the
applicant as the Exchange may require.
    In addition, the Exchange reviews whether the applicant meets
federal and Exchange capital requirements and whether it has adopted
controls and procedures to comply with Exchange rules.
    Due to the amount of information an applicant is required to
provide and have completed prior to being approved as an Options
Participant, the approval process generally takes several weeks to
complete. The length of time varies based on the timing of the
applicant's response to requests for information and documentation.
    As proposed, Apex Clearing will continue the clearing and certain
other operations of PFSI as of June 6, 2012. In order to avoid
interruption of the services PFSI currently provides to other BOX
Options Participants, the Exchange believes that Apex Clearing should
be approved immediately as a BOX Options Participant. The Exchange
notes that Apex Clearing is already a registered broker dealer and
FINRA member, which are two characteristics that make Apex Clearing
eligible for becoming a BOX Options Participant. See Exchange Rule
2020(a).
    The Exchange therefore proposes providing Apex Clearing with a
temporary suspension of Exchange Rule 2050 and other rules related to
approval of status as a BOX Options Participant and approval of a
proposed Options Participant's associated persons, and immediately
approving Apex Clearing as a BOX Options Participant. As proposed, this
temporary suspension is contingent upon:
     Apex Clearing providing the Exchange with sufficient
information to confirm that Apex Clearing will meet its capital
requirements as a BOX Options Participant; and

     Within 30 calendar days of Apex Clearing's approval as a
BOX Options Participant under this proposed filing, Apex Clearing and
its associated persons will have complied with the Exchange's new
Options Participant requirements as set forth in BOX Rules 2000 Series.
    As proposed, if Apex Clearing does not comply with all applicable
BOX Options Participant application requirements within 30 calendar
days of the effective date of this filing, its status as an approved
BOX Options Participant will no longer be effective.
    In addition, the Exchange proposes to permit Apex Clearing to
assume all existing clearing agreements and arrangements currently in
effect with other BOX Options Participants by execution of global
agreements thereto. Notice of such assumption will be provided to
impacted Options Participants through issuance of a Regulatory Circular
prior to the effective date thereof.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) \7\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),
in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \8\ in
particular in that it is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that
permitting the expeditious approval of Apex Clearing as a BOX Options
Participant will avoid interruption of the services PFSI currently
provides to other BOX Options Participants. Based on information and
representations provided by Apex Clearing, a temporary suspension of
certain Exchange rules is needed based on the expedited nature of the
transaction to enable seamless continuity with respect to the
transferring accounts. Consequently, the Exchange believes that
temporary suspension of its requirements for the applications and
approval of new BOX Options Participants so that Apex Clearing can be
approved immediately as a BOX Options Participant will help to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating

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

    The Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition 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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\12\

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-regulatory organization to give the
Commission written notice of its intent to file 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 Commission is waiving this five-day pre-filing
requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \13\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the five-day pre-
filing requirement and the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative immediately upon filing. The
Commission notes that the Exchange is proposing that certain of its
rules relating to membership requirements be temporarily suspended so
that Apex Clearing can be provisionally approved as a BOX Options
Participant. The proposed relief does not exempt Apex Clearing from
Exchange rule requirements governing Options Participants. Apex
Clearing would have a 30 calendar day grace period within which to
apply for and be approved under relevant Exchange rules. Moreover, the
Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
appropriate to ensure a smooth transition of PFSI operations to Apex
Clearing. In particular, given the rapidity with which events have
developed, waiver of the 30-day operative delay is necessary to avoid
significant disruption to PFSI's existing customers and the market
generally. Therefore, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest and designates the proposed rule change as operative
upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For 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 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
(Type Certificate Previously Held by Rolls-Royce plc) Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2020-15-07, which applies to certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co
KG (RRD) (type certificate previously held by Rolls-Royce plc) Model
RB211-524G2-19, RB211-524G2-T-19, RB211-524G3-19, RB211-524G3-T-19,
RB211-524H2-19, RB211-524H2-T-19, RB211-524H-36, and RB211-524H-T-36
engines. AD 2020-15-07 requires replacement of the low-pressure turbine
(LPT) stage 1 disk with part number (P/N) UL37606, UL37607, UL37608,
UL37722 or UL37790, installed. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-15-07, RRD
determined that additional LPT stage 1 disks are affected by the unsafe
condition, and updated the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) to add new
component life limits. This proposed AD would retain the requirement to
replace the LPT stage 1 disk and would include additional LPT stage 1
disks, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this NPRM by August 28, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-1399; Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-01533-E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
the proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Sungmo Cho, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th Street, Des
Moines, WA 98198. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2020-15-07, Amendment 39-21170 (85 FR 43682, July
20, 2020), (AD 2020-15-07), for RRD Model B211-524G2-19, RB211-524G2-T-
19, RB211-524G3-19, RB211-524G3-T-19, RB211-524H2-19, RB211-524H2-T-19,
RB211-524H-36, and RB211-524H-T-36 engines with LPT stage 1 disks, part
number (P/N) UL37606, UL37607, UL37608, UL37722 or UL37790, installed.
AD 2020-15-07 was prompted by an MCAI originated by EASA, which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued EASA AD 2020-0059, dated March 17, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0059), to
address an unsafe condition identified as an updated analysis by the
engine manufacturer indicating that certain part-numbered and serial-
numbered LPT stage 1 disks that have undergone rework could fail before
the current published life limits.
    AD 2020-15-07 requires replacement of the LPT stage 1 disk before
it reaches its new Declared Safe Cycle Limit (DSCL) or within 25 flight
cycles after the effective date of AD 2020-15-07, whichever occurs
later. The FAA issued AD 2020-15-07 to prevent failure of the LPT stage
1 disk.

Actions Since AD 2020-15-07 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2020-15-07, EASA superseded EASA AD 2020-
0059 and issued EASA AD 2022-0237, dated December 2, 2022 (EASA AD
2022-0237) (referred to after this as the MCAI). The MCAI states that
further investigation by the manufacturer identified additional part
numbered LPT stage 1 disks affected by the unsafe

condition. As a result of this finding, RRD published revised service
information, which includes the additional affected LPT stage 1 disk
part numbers.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to prevent failure of the LPT stage 1
disk. This condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained
release of high-energy debris from the engine, in-flight shutdown of
the engine, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1399.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2022-0237, which specifies procedures for
replacement of the LPT stage 1 disk and reducing the DSCL for LPT stage
1 disks. This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain none of the requirements of AD 2020-
15-07. This proposed AD would include additional LPT stage 1 disks and
require accomplishing the actions specified in the MCAI described
previously, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has since
coordinated with other manufacturers and CAAs to use this process. As a
result, the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference EASA AD 2022-0237
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with EASA AD 2022-0237 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are
the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not
mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example,
where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and
compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited
to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in
EASA AD 2022-0237. Service information required by the EASA AD for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-
2023-1399 after the FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 18 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                         hour = $10,200.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on

of federally obligated airport property at Newport News--Williamsburg
International Airport, Newport News, VA. This acreage was originally
conveyed to PAC under the Surplus Property Act and Federal Airport Act.
The proposed use of land after the release will be compatible with the
airport and will not interfere with the airport or its operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 2, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on this application may be

Michael Giardino, Executive Director, Newport News--Williamsburg

    and at the FAA Washington Airports District Office:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by grant
agreements. The following is a brief overview of the request.
    Peninsula Airport Commission has submitted a land release request
seeking FAA approval for the disposal of approximately 0.083 acres of
federally obligated airport property. The property is situated around
the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Brick Kiln Boulevard. The
subject area is unable to be utilized for aviation purposes because the
airport operations area is located to north of this intersection. The
subject area is inaccessible to aircraft.
    The 0.083 acres of land to be released was originally conveyed as
part of a 920-acre, more or less, parcel through provisions of the
Federal Airport Act of 1946 and the Surplus Property Act of 1944. The
portions of the parcel being conveyed are contiguous with the existing
road right of ways. Subsequent to the implementation of the proposed
disposal, monies received by the airport from the sale of this property
are considered airport revenue, and will be used in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and the FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use
of Airport Revenue published in the Federal Register on February 16,
1999. The proposed use of the property will not interfere with the
airport or its operation.
