58797 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2002 / Notices Screening Program. Chlorpropham will be reevaluated at that time and additional studies may be required. Additionally, the Agency has evaluated the dietary risk associated with chlorpropham and has determined that provided the Special Local Need ( SLN) registration for Easter lily bulb use is amended to reduce the maximum rate of application from 3.99 pounds active ingredient/ acre to 2.0 pounds active ingredient/ acre, as agreed upon by stakeholders, there is a reasonable certainty that no harm to any population subgroup will result from aggregate exposure to chlorpropham when considering dietary exposure and all other non occupational sources of pesticide exposure for which there is reliable information. Therefore, with this mitigation measure in place, 15 tolerances are now considered reassessed and 9 new tolerances will be established for residues of chlorpropham in/ on raw agricultural commodities under section 408( q) of the FFDCA. All registrants of pesticide products containing the active ingredient listed in this document have been sent the appropriate TRED document, and must respond to labeling requirements within 8 months of receipt. In addition, the Agency requests a response to the generic Data Call In ( DCI) letter from technical registrants within 90 days of receipt. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionallymandated time frames, and EPA recognizes both the need to make timely reregistration decisions and to involve the public. All comments received within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register notice will be considered by the Agency. If any comment significantly impacts this TRED, the Agency will amend its decision by publishing a Federal Register notice.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

The legal authority for this TRED falls under FIFRA, as amended in 1988 and 1996. Section 4( g)( 2)( A) of FIFRA directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, `` the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' and either reregistering products or taking `` other appropriate regulatory action.''

II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

In 1995, the Agency published its Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( RED) for diquat dibromide. Subsequent to the publication of the 1995 RED, the technical registrant submitted additional data to further refine diquat dibromide worker exposure and residential broadcast spray use scenarios. Changes to the PPE label requirements of the 1995 RED are based on the submission of additional data from a biomonitoring study of knapsack applications of the closely related chemical paraquat, and a reconsideration of the acute dermal toxicity endpoint. The Agency reevaluated the dermal toxicity endpoint and rendered a decision that the repeated dose dermal toxicity study used for the 1995 RED was not appropriate for use in the risk assessment because the skins of the rats used in the study were compromised. Instead, the Agency extrapolated a dermal toxicity endpoint from a shortterm oral study on rabbits. The Agency has also reevaluated dermal absorption assumptions. Previously, EPA assumed a standard absorption rate of 4.1%, based on a rat dermal absorption study. Syngenta cited a human dermal absorption study estimating a 0.3% dermal absorption rate for diquat dibromide ( Feldman RJ and Maibach HI, `` Percutaneous penetration of some pesticides and herbicides in man'' Tox. Appl. Pharm. 28 126   132, 1974). The Agency has relied on data provided by the Feldman Maibach study for previous risk assessments, and believes the study to be acceptable and the data valid for use in this risk assessment. The use of the dermal absorption factor of 0.3% further refines all aggregate margins of exposure ( MOEs) above the target MOE of 100, which would not be of concern to the Agency. The Agency has evaluated the request to modify the cited label requirements and summarized its assessment in the Occupational Risk Evaluation: `` Assessing Syngenta's Request to Modify Diquat Dibromide Label Requirements,'' dated February 14, 2002. In addition, the `` HED Risk Assessment for Tolerance Reassessment Eligibility Document ( TRED),'' March 6, 2002, and the `` Re characterization of Risk for the Diquat Dibromide Tolerance Reassessment Eligibility Decision ( TRED) Based on New Dermal Absorption Data,'' March 13, 2002, were used to aid in the assessment of aggregate risks from residential uses. Any labeling changes are presented in the `` Required Labeling Changes Summary Table,'' which summarizes the labeling requirements for this action. All supporting documents referenced in this document are available in the public docket and at http:// www. epa. gov/ pesticides/ reregistration/ diquat_ dibromide. htm. In summary, the Agency expects to change the label requirements of the 1995 RED for worker PPE and residential broadcast spray uses. The following table presents the 1995 RED decisions being reevaluated, the requests to change these requirements made by Syngenta, and the current Agency decisions to amend the 1995 RED:

Broadcast spray applications for homeowner and residential uses for enduse products will be decided on a case by case basis upon review of end use product toxicity, based on short term exposure and individual risk assessments.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

The legal authority for this decision falls under FIFRA, as amended in 1988 and 1996. Section 4( g)( 2)( A) of FIFRA directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, `` the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' and either reregister products or take other `` appropriate regulatory action.''

H2O Holdings, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On August 14, 2013, H2O Holdings, LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the Phantom Canyon/South Slope
Pumped Storage Project, located on Phantom Creek, near Canon City, in
Fremont, Pueblo, and El Paso Counties, Colorado. The project would
occupy federal lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management. The final transmission line corridor is still under
evaluation, but portions may occupy federal lands administered by the
U.S. Department of the Army. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit,
if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed South Slope Pumped Storage Project would consist of:
(1) An upper power reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately
6,000 acre-feet, retained by a new 180-foot-high, 4,925-foot-long
concrete-faced earth embankment; (2) a lower reservoir with a power
storage capacity of about 6,400 acre-feet and a reserve capacity for
non-project use of about 44,600 acre-feet, retained by building three
new dams and a 150-foot long and 24-foot-high saddle dike (dam no. 1
would be 6,635 feet long and 140 feet high, dam no. 2 would be 2,710
feet long and 140 feet high, and dam no. 3 would be 2,200 feet long and
620 feet high); (3) twin 22-foot-diameter, steel penstocks, each about
7,150 feet long, both bifurcating at the powerhouse; (4) a concrete and
steel powerhouse with four 110-megawatt (MW) units, for a total
capacity of 440 MW; (5) four welded-steel tailraces connecting the
powerhouse units and the lower power reservoir; (6) a 30-mile-long,
230-kilovolt transmission line; (7) a 5-foot-diameter, 5.5-mile-long
non-project pipeline to provide water to the lower reservoir from the
Lester Atterbury Ditch diversion on the north side of the Arkansas
River; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have
an average annual generation of 1,194,864 megawatt-hours.

circumnavigate the Camp Pendleton, CA, range complex.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, February 14, 2008. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules Group,
Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 14, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to revise VOR Federal Airway V-363
between the Mission Bay, CA, and the Pomona, CA, VORTAC (70 FR 12428).
On May 25, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register a correction
to the NPRM due to an incomplete description (70 FR 30036). Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal. Two comments were
received.
    The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association stated the realignment
of V-363 will provide an available route for circumnavigating the Camp
Pendleton range complex by providing a more direct route that will have
a positive impact on general aviation. One commentor disagreed with the
revision to V-363, pointing out that the revised routing was incorrect
and the proposal had not been presented to the Southern California
Users Group (SCAUWG). A correction to the NPRM with revised routing was
published on May 25, 2005, correcting the error in the V-363
description. The proposal had been presented to the SCAUWG and it was
determined that the revised routing of V-363 would provide a more
direct routing and assist general aviation pilots in the Southern
California. With the exception of editorial changes, this amendment is
the same as that published in the correction to the NPRM.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of
FAA Order 7400.9R dated August 15, 2007, and effective September 15,
2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Federal
airways listed in this document will be published subsequently in the
Order.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to revise VOR Federal Airway 363 (V-363) between the Mission
Bay, CA, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air
Navigation (VORTAC) and the Pomona, CA, VORTAC. Specifically, the FAA
is making this realignment to provide a southwestern route structure to
circumnavigate the Camp Pendleton, CA, range complex.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it revises VOR Federal Airway V-363 in California.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-80869; File No. SR-MIAX-2017-27]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend MIAX Options Rule 406, Long Term Option
Contracts

June 7, 2017.
    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice
is hereby given that on June 6, 2017, Miami International Securities
Exchange, LLC (``MIAX Options'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed rule
change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to make a technical amendment to
Exchange Rule 406, Long Term Option Contracts.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings, at MIAX'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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is proposing to amend Exchange Rule 406, Long Term
Option Contracts, to make clarifying changes to the Rule, as described
below.
    Currently, Exchange Rule 406(a) states that the Exchange may list
long-term option contracts that expire from twelve (12) to thirty-nine
(39) months from the time they are listed. The Exchange proposes to
amend Rule 406(a) by defining expirations from twelve (12) to thirty-
nine (39) months from the time the option is listed as ``long-term
expiration months.''
    Rule 406(a) states that there may be ``up to six additional
expiration months.'' As currently written, the Rule does not specify
which expiration months the six months are in addition to, or whether
that means that there may be a total of six long-term expiration months
(six long-term expiration months in addition to existing non-long-

term expiration months) or a total of seven expiration months (one long
term expiration month plus six additional long-term expiration months),
and thus is ambiguous. Accordingly, for clarity, the Exchange proposes
to delete the word ``additional'' from Rule 406(a). As amended, the
rule would clearly and simply provide that the Exchange may list up to
six long-term expiration months (i.e., that expire from twelve up to
thirty-nine months from the time they are listed).
    Finally, in order to further clarify the Rule, the Exchange is
proposing to amend Rule 406(a) to state that there may be up to six (6)
long-term expiration months per option class. Thus, there is no limit
to the number of option classes for which the Exchange could list
options with long-term expiration months; the rule will now clearly
state that there may be up to six long-term expiration months per
class, i.e., for any class(es) in which the Exchange determines to list
options with long-term expiration months.
2. Statutory Basis
    MIAX believes that its proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \3\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \4\ in particular, in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest, by clarifying rule language
associated with permitted listings of long term options on the
Exchange.

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change
will have no impact on competition as it is not designed to address any
competitive issues but rather to add additional clarity to, and remedy
possible conflicts in, the Exchange's Rules.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
impose any burden on intermarket competition as the Rules apply equally
to all Exchange Members.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    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) of the Act \5\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \6\ 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 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.

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:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60872; File No. SR-OCC-2009-14]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Clear Options Based on Index-
Linked Securities

October 23, 2009.

I. Introduction

    On August 12, 2009, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'')
proposed rule change SR-OCC-2009-14 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'').\1\ The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the Federal Register on September 8,
2009.\2\ No comment letters were received on the proposal. This order
approves the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60602 (Sep. 1, 2009), 74
FR 46278.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    The proposed rule change permits OCC to clear options based on
index-linked securities (``Index-Linked Securities'').
    Index-Linked Securities are non-convertible debt of major financial
institutions that typically have a term of at least one year but not
greater than thirty years and that provide for payment at maturity
based upon the performance of an index or indices of equity securities
or futures contracts, one or more physical commodities, currencies or
debt securities, or a combination of any of the foregoing. Index-Linked
Securities are traded on national securities exchanges and meet the
definition of ``NMS Stock'' under regulation NMS.\3\ The options
exchanges will treat options on Index-Linked Securities (``Index-Linked
Security Options'') as standardized equity options for listing and
trading purposes and will generally govern their trading by the same
rules that are applicable to trading in other equity options. Exercises
of Index-Linked Security Options will be settled by delivery of the
underlying securities in the same manner as exercises of equity
options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (Jun. 9, 2005), 70
FR 37496 (Jun. 29, 2005). ``NMS Stock'' is defined in Rule
600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS as ``any NMS security other than an
option.'' The definition of ``NMS Security'' in Rule 600(b)(46) of
Regulation NMS includes any security for which transaction reports
are collected and disseminated under an effective national market
system plan. Because Index-Linked Securities are exchange traded,
they fall within this definition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OCC is amending its By-Laws and Rules to accommodate Index-Linked
Security Options. OCC is adding a definition of ``index-linked
security'' to Article I of its By-Laws, amending the definition of
``stock option contract'' in Article I of its By-Laws to include Index-
Linked Security Options, and amending the definition of ``non-equity
securities option contract'' in Article I of its By-Laws to clarify
that Index-Linked Security Options are excluded from the definition.
OCC is amending Interpretation and Policy .05 to Article VI, Section
11A of its By-Laws to clarify that a call of an entire class of Index-
Linked Securities will result in an adjustment of Index-Linked Security
Options in the event of a cash merger but that a partial call will not
result in an adjustment. OCC is adding Interpretation and Policy .10 to
Article VI, Section 11A of the By-Laws that would state that interest
payments on Index-Linked Securities generally will be considered
``ordinary cash dividends or distributions'' within the meaning of
paragraph (c) Article VI, Section 11A. OCC is adding language to Rule
604(b)(4)(iii) to state that for the purposes of Rule 604, Index-Linked
Securities will be treated as stock, assuming they meet the basic
listing requirement applicable to stocks. OCC is amending Rule
604(b)(4) to conform its language to its practice of limiting the value
of securities with the same CUSIP number, as opposed to securities of
the same issuer, to 10% of the margin requirement of an account. OCC is
adding Interpretation and Policy .14 to Rule 604(b)(4), which states
that OCC may disapprove for margin credit a security that otherwise
meets the Rule 604(b) criteria if other factors warrant such a
disapproval.

III. Discussion

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a registered clearing agency. In particular,
the Commission believes that by amending its By-Laws and Rules to
provide for the clearance and settlement of Index-Linked Security

Options, the proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section
17A(b)(3)(F),\4\ which requires, among other things, that the rules of
a clearing agency are designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in
particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \5\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\6\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-OCC-2009-14) be, and
hereby is, approved.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \7\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition, and

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is publishing this
final rule to amend the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR)
by updating the address for submitting declarations, reports, and
advance notifications under the CWCR and for submitting chemical
determination requests, and requests to obtain the forms needed to

rule updates the e-mail addresses in the CWCR for submitting chemical
determination requests or requests for BIS to provide written
interpretations of CWCR requirements. These changes are being
implemented by BIS to reflect the recent relocation of TCD.
    This rule also updates the list of countries that currently are
States Parties to the CWC by adding ``Congo (Republic of the),''
``Guinea-Bissau,'' and ``Lebanon,'' which recently became States
Parties.
    Finally, this rule revises a number of references in the CWCR to
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to indicate the correct
legal citation for the EAR.

DATES: This rule is effective December 22, 2008. Although there is no
formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome
on a continuing basis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This final rule amends the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations
(CWCR) (15 CFR Parts 710-721) by updating the address for submitting
declarations, reports, and advance notifications that are required
under the CWCR and for submitting chemical determination requests, as
well as requests for obtaining the forms needed to complete
declarations and reports. This final rule also updates the telephone
and facsimile numbers indicated in the CWCR for contacting, or
providing information to, the Treaty Compliance Division (TCD), Office
of Nonproliferation and Treaty Compliance, which is the organization
within the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) that administers the
requirements contained in the CWCR. In addition, this rule updates the
e-mail addresses in the CWCR that may be used to submit chemical
determination requests or requests for BIS to provide written
interpretations of CWCR requirements by changing the domain for these
addresses from ``cwc.gov'' to ``bis.doc.gov.'' These changes are being
implemented by BIS to reflect the recent relocation of TCD to new
office space.
    This rule also amends Supplement No. 1 to Part 710 of the CWCR
(titled ``States Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the
Development, Production, Stockpiling, and Use of Chemical Weapons and
on Their Destruction'') by adding ``Congo (Republic of the),''
``Guinea-Bissau,'' and ``Lebanon,'' which became States Parties to the
CWC on January 2, 2008, June 18, 2008, and December 20, 2008,
respectively. As a result of this change, the CWCR declaration and
reporting requirements for these two countries will be the same as
those that apply to other States Parties.
    Finally, this rule revises a number of references in the CWCR to
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR Parts 730-774) to
indicate the correct legal citation for the EAR. Previously, the
citation for the EAR read ``(15 CFR Parts 730 through 799).'' The EAR,
as well as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), are
referenced in the CWCR because both contain certain CWC-related
requirements in addition to those described in the CWCR.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.) (PRA), unless
that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule involves a
collection of information subject to the requirements of the PRA. This
collection has been approved by OMB under Control Number 0694-0091
(Chemical Weapons Convention--Declaration and Report Forms), which
carries burden hour estimates of 10.6 hours for Schedule 1 Chemicals
(including declarations, reports, and amendments), 11.9 hours for
Schedule 2 chemicals (including declarations, reports, and amendments),
2.5 hours for Schedule 3 chemicals (including declarations, reports,
and amendments), 5.3/5.1/5.1 hours for unscheduled discrete organic
chemicals (depending upon whether an Annual Declaration on Past
Activities or an amendment thereto, a No Changes Authorization Form, or
a Change in Inspection Status Form, respectively, is required), 1.7
hours for compliance review requests, and 0.17 hours for Schedule 1
notifications. BIS anticipates that this rule will not change these
burden hour estimates, nor will it change the total estimated burden
hours for the approved collection (i.e., 4,501.6 burden hours).
    Comments are invited on: (i) Whether the collection of information
is necessary for the functions of the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the information collection burden; (iii) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) ways to minimize the burden of the collection on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the
burden to Jasmeet Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and to
the Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security,
Department of Commerce, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this
rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a delay in effective date are inapplicable
for the amendments contained in this rule that involve updates to
contact information for the Treaty Compliance Division. The provisions
of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring notice of proposed
rulemaking, the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in
effective date are inapplicable for those changes because those
revisions relate to rules of agency organization, procedure, or
practice.
    BIS finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to
waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring
prior notice and the opportunity for public comment for the corrections
to references to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR
Parts 730-774), because prior notice and the opportunity for public
comment are unnecessary. These revisions are administrative in nature
and do not affect the rights and obligations of the public. Since these
revisions do not constitute substantive changes to the CWCR, it is
unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. For
the reason stated above, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay
in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for the revisions to the
references to the EAR.
    The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553)
requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public
participation, and a delay in effective date, do not apply to the
amendments contained in this rule that involve the addition of three
countries (i.e., Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, and Lebanon) to
the list of CWC States Parties in Supplement No. 1 to part 710 of the
CWCR, because these revisions involve

a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (Sec. 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(1)).
    Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking
and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are
not required to be given for this rule under the Administrative
Procedure Act or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et. seq.) are not applicable.
    Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are
welcome on a continuing basis. You may submit comments, identified by
RIN 0694-AE39, to Willard Fisher, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, as indicated in the
ADDRESSES section of this rule.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-95238; File No. SR-ISE-2022-14]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Options
4A, Section 12 and Options 7, Section 3

July 11, 2022.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 1, 2022, Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE'' or

``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend certain rule text within Options 4A,
Section 12, Terms of Index Options Contracts, and Options 7, Section 3,
Regular Order Fees and Rebates.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/ise/rules, at the
principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend certain rule text within Options 4A,
Section 12, Terms of Index Options Contracts, related to the Short Term
Option Series Program, and update the Pricing Schedule to replace
references to the symbol ``FB'' with ``META'' within Options 7, Section
3, Regular Order Fees and Rebates. Each change is described below.
Options 4A, Section 12
    In 2013, ISE amended the Short Term Option Series Program for
equity options within Rule 504 (currently Options 4, Section 5) to
change the number of currently listed option classes on which Short
Term Option Series may be opened on any Short Term Option Opening Date
from thirty to fifty options classes.\3\ At that time, the Exchange
neglected to update the index options rules to make similar changes to
the Short Term Option Series Program given that the amount of options
classes that may participate in the Short Term Option Series Program is
aggregated between equity options and index options and is not
apportioned between equity and index options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 71034 (December 11,
2013), 78 FR 76363 (December 17, 2013) (SR-ISE-2013-69) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to the
Short Term Option Series Program).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, Supplementary Material .01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12
provides,

Classes. The Exchange may select up to thirty (30) currently listed
option classes on which Short Term Option Series may be opened on
any Short Term Option Opening Date. In addition to the 30 option
class restriction, the Exchange may also list Short Term Option
Series on any option classes that are selected by other securities
exchanges that employ a similar program under their respective
rules. For each index option class eligible for participation in the
Short Term Option Series Program, the Exchange may open up to 30
Short Term Option Series on index options for each expiration date
in that class. The Exchange may also open Short Term Option Series
that are opened by other securities exchanges in option classes
selected by such exchanges under their respective short term option
rules.

    At this time, the Exchange proposes to amend Supplementary Material
.01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12 to increase the number of currently
listed options classes on which Short Term Option Series may be opened
on any Short Term Option Opening Date from thirty to fifty options
classes for index options. The Exchange also proposes to add the word
``thirty'' before the number ``30'' and place the number 30 in
parentheses. These amendments would align the limitations within
Supplementary Material .01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12 regarding index
options with those currently within Supplementary .03(a) to Options 4,
Section 5 regarding equity options.
    As noted above, this amendment will not result in a greater number
of listings in the Short Term Option Series Program because the amount
of options classes that may participate in the Short Term Option Series
Program is aggregated between equity options and index options and is
not apportioned between equity and index options. Amending
Supplementary Material .01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12 to conform to
the limitations provided within Supplementary .03(a) to Options 4,
Section 5 will avoid confusion by making clear the aggregate
limitations within equity and index options for listing Short Term
Option Series. Today, Nasdaq Phlx LLC (`Phlx'') and Cboe Exchange, Inc.
(``Cboe'') have similar limitations within their equity and index Short
Term Option Series Program.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Phlx Options 4A, Section 12(b)(4) and Cboe Exchange,
Inc. Rules 4.5 and 4.13. See also Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 95077 (June 9, 2022), 87 FR 36188 (June 15, 2022) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Options 4A, Section 12, Terms of Index Options Contracts).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Options 7, Section 3
    On June 9, 2022 Meta Platforms, Inc. began trading under its new
stock symbol, ``META'', replacing its previous ticker symbol, ``FB''.
At this time, the Exchange proposes to replace references to the symbol
``FB'' with ``META'' within Options 7, Section 3, Regular Order Fees
and Rebates.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Options 4A, Section 12
    In 2013, ISE amended the Short Term Option Series Program for
equity options within Rule 504 (currently Options 4, Section 5) to
change the number of currently listed option classes on which Short
Term Option Series may be opened on any Short Term Option Opening Date
from thirty to fifty options classes.\7\ At that time, the Exchange
neglected to update the index options rules to make similar changes to
the Short Term Option Series Program given that the amount of options
classes that may participate in the Short Term Option Series Program is
aggregated between equity options and index options and is not
apportioned between equity and index options. Amending Supplementary
Material .01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12 to conform to the limitations
provided within Supplementary .03(a) to Options 4, Section 5 will avoid
confusion by making clear the aggregate limitations within equity and
index options for

listing Short Term Option Series. Also, aligning the limitations within
Supplementary Material .01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12 with those
currently within Supplementary .03(a) to Options 4, Section 5 will not
result in a greater number of listings in the Short Term Option Series
Program because the amount of options classes that may participate in
the Short Term Option Series Program is aggregated between equity
options and index options and is not apportioned between equity and
index options. Today, Phlx and Cboe have similar limitations within
their equity and index Short Term Option Series Program.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 71034 (December 11,
2013), 78 FR 76363 (December 17, 2013) (SR-ISE-2013-69) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to the
Short Term Option Series Program).
    \8\ See note 4 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Options 7, Section 3
    The Exchange's proposal to update references to the symbol ``FB''
to ``META'' within the Pricing Schedule at Options 7, Section 3,
Regular Order Fees and Rebates, is consistent with the Act. This
amendment will make clear that the symbol ``META'' continues to be
subject to the pricing noted with respect to the symbol ``FB'' within
Options 7, Section 3.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.
Options 4A, Section 12
    Amending Supplementary Material .01(a) to Options 4A, Section 12 to
conform to the limitations provided within Supplementary .03(a) to
Options 4, Section 5 does not impose an undue burden on competition
because the same limitations apply today to other options exchanges.
Today, Phlx and Cboe have similar limitations within their equity and
index Short Term Option Series Program.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See note 4 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Options 7, Section 3
    The Exchange's proposal to update references to the symbol ``FB''
to ``META'' within the Pricing Schedule at Options 7, Section 3,
Regular Order Fees and Rebates, does not impose an undue burden on
competition as the proposal does not amend the current pricing.

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

    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 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) of the Act \10\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \12\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that it
may immediately amend its Pricing Schedule to update references to the
symbol ``FB'' to ``META'' within Options 7, Section 3, Regular Order
Fees and Rebates, to avoid confusion as to the pricing of the symbol
``META.'' The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest as the proposed rule change does not raise any new or novel
issues. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay
and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also 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 change 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:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2203-000]

Alabama Power Company; Notice of Authorization for Continued
Project Operation

    On August 16, 2013, Alabama Power Company, licensee for the Holt
Hydroelectric Project, filed an Application for a New License pursuant
to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations
thereunder. The Holt Hydroelectric Project is located on the Black
Warrior River, in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.
    The license for Project No. 2203 was issued for a period ending
August 31, 2015. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may

of the FPA is renewed automatically without further order or notice by
