[Docket No. USCG-2009-0749]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation for Marine Events; Choptank River,
Cambridge, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is temporarily suspending the existing
enforcement period of a special local regulation for a recurring marine
event in the Fifth Coast Guard District and adding a temporary
enforcement period. This regulation applies to only one recurring
marine event, the ``Cambridge Offshore Challenge'' power boat race. A
special local regulation is necessary to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the event. This action is intended to
restrict vessel traffic in a portion of the Choptank River, MD, during
the event.

DATES: In the Table to 33 CFR 100.501, the suspension of line No. 27 is
effective from September 9, 2009 to September 30, 2009; and the
addition of line No. 64 is effective from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., on
September 19, 2009, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., on September 20, 2009.

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 5 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 immediate action is needed to
minimize potential danger to the public during the event. The potential
dangers posed by a high speed power boat race conducted on the waterway
with other vessel traffic makes a special local regulation necessary to
provide for the safety of participants, spectator craft and other
vessels transiting the event area. For the safety concerns noted, it is
in the public interest to have this regulation in effect during the
event. The Coast Guard will issue broadcast notice to mariners to
advise vessel operators of navigational restrictions. On scene Coast
Guard and local law enforcement vessels will also provide actual notice
to mariners.
    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. The potential dangers posed by
boat races operating in close proximity to transiting vessels make
special local regulation necessary. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the event participants, patrol vessels, spectator
craft and other vessels transiting the event area. However, the Coast
Guard will provide advance notifications to users of the effected
waterways via marine information broadcasts, local notice to mariners,
commercial radio stations and area newspapers.

Background and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the boundary of the Fifth Coast Guard District. The on water activities
that typically comprise marine events include sailing regattas, power
boat races, swim races and holiday parades. For a description of the
geographical area of each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port Zone,
please see 33 CFR 3.25.
    This regulation temporarily suspends the enforcement period of a
special local regulation for a recurring marine event within the Fifth
Coast Guard District and temporarily adds a new

enforcement period. This regulation applies to one marine event in 33
CFR 100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501.
    Annually, the Chesapeake Bay Powerboat Association sponsors the
``Cambridge Offshore Challenge'', on the waters of the Choptank River
at Cambridge, Maryland. The event consists of approximately 50 offshore
power boats conducting high-speed competitive races between the Route
50 Bridge and Oystershell Point, MD. A fleet of spectator vessels is
anticipated. The regulation at 33 CFR 100.501 is effective annually for
the Cambridge Offshore Challenge marine event. The table to Sec.
100.501, event No. 27 establishes the enforcement date for this marine
event. This regulation temporarily suspends the enforcement date of
``September 4th or last Saturday and Sunday'' and temporarily adds the
enforcement date of the third Saturday and Sunday in September, holding
the marine event on September 19 and 20, 2009. The Chesapeake Bay
Powerboat Association who is the sponsor for this event intends to hold
this event annually; however, they have changed the date of the event
for 2009 so that it is outside the scope of the existing enforcement
period. A fleet of spectator vessels is anticipated to gather nearby to
view the competition. Due to the need for vessel control during the
power boat races, vessel traffic will be temporarily restricted to
provide for the safety of participants, spectators and transiting
vessels. Under provisions of 33 CFR 100.501, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
September 19-20, 2009, vessels may not enter the regulated area unless
they receive permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard will temporarily suspend the regulation at 33 CFR
100.501 by changing the date of enforcement in the table to Sec.
100.501 to reflect that the event will be conducted in 2009 on the
third Saturday and Sunday in September, September 19 and 20, 2009. This
change is needed to accommodate the sponsor's schedule. The special
local regulation will be enforced from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on September 19
and 20, 2009, and will restrict general navigation in the regulated
area during the marine event. Except for persons or vessels authorized
by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may enter or
remain in the regulated area during the effective period. The regulated
area is needed to control vessel traffic during the event to enhance
the safety of participants and transiting vessels.
    In addition to notice in the Federal Register, the maritime
community will be provided extensive advance notification via the Local
Notice to Mariners, and marine information broadcasts so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly.

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.
    This rule prevents traffic from transiting a portion of the
Choptank River during specified events. The effect of this regulation
will not be significant due to the limited duration that the regulated
area will be in effect and the extensive advance notifications that
will be made to the maritime community via marine information
broadcasts, local radio stations and area newspapers so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly. Additionally, this rulemaking does not
change the permanent regulated areas that have been published in 33 CFR
100.501, Table to Sec.  100.501. In some cases vessel traffic may be
able to transit the regulated area when the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander deems it is safe to do so.

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 would affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in the Choptank River where marine events are
being held. This regulation will not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities because it will be enforced only
during marine events that have been issued a permit by the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port will ensure that small
entities are able to operate in the areas where events are occurring
when it is safe to do so. In some cases, vessels will be able to safely
transit around the regulated area at various times, and, with the
permission of the Patrol Commander, vessels may transit through the
regulated area. Before the enforcement period, the Coast Guard will
issue maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their plans
accordingly.

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 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 effect 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 which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule involves implementation of a
regulation within 33 CFR Part 100 that applies to organized marine
events on the navigable waters of the United States that may have
potential for negative impact on the safety or other interests of
waterway users and shore side activities in the event area. The
category of water activities includes but is not limited to sail boat
regattas, boat parades, power boat racing, swimming events, crew
racing, and sail board racing.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

Tier 2 Light-Duty Vehicle and Light-Duty Truck Emission Standards
and Gasoline Sulfur Control Requirements (Section 610 Review)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Request for comments on Regulatory Flexibility Act Section 610
Review.

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

SUMMARY: On February 10, 2000 (65 FR 6698), EPA published emission
standards for light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks requiring
vehicle manufacturers to reduce tailpipe emissions. Specifically, EPA
sought to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and non-methane
hydrocarbons, pollutants which contribute to ozone pollution. The
rulemaking also required oil refiners to limit the sulfur content of
the gasoline they produce. Sulfur in gasoline has a detrimental impact
on catalyst performance and the sulfur requirements have enabled the
introduction of advanced technology emission control systems on motor
vehicles.
    Pursuant to Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA is
now initiating a review of this rule to determine if the provisions
related to small entities should be continued without change, or should
be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small
entities.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 22, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency published the Tier 2 Motor
Vehicle Emissions Standards and Gasoline Sulfur Control Requirements
rule (Tier 2 Program) on February 10, 2000 (65 FR 6698). The program
significantly reduced emissions related to ozone and particulate matter
from new passenger cars and light trucks, including pickup trucks,
vans, minivans, and sport-utility vehicles. The program also required
refiners to significantly reduce the level of sulfur in their gasoline.
    The Tier 2 program required vehicle manufacturers to reduce new
vehicle emissions, primarily nitrogen oxide, volatile organic
compounds, and particulate matter. Included as `manufacturers' were
several companies that convert gasoline vehicles to operate on
alternative fuel, and several that import vehicles into the U.S. and
upgrade their emission control systems to EPA specifications. Most of
these companies are small entities, and a SBREFA panel recommended that
EPA provide special flexibility to these types of vehicle
manufacturers. In the final rule, EPA adopted these recommendations,
including providing more time before the companies' vehicles were
required to meet the emission standards otherwise applicable to larger
manufacturers.
    The Tier 2 program also required oil refiners to produce gasoline
with much-reduced content of sulfur, primarily to protect the improved
catalyst systems anticipated on new Tier 2 vehicles. An informal
coalition of small refining companies formed to participate in the
rulemaking and the SBREFA panel. In this case as well, EPA adopted
recommendations of the small refiners, providing more lead time for
meeting the gasoline sulfur requirements.

Chlorine Dioxide Environmental Fate and Transport Assessment Case 4023 A. Najm Shamim, Ph. D. Office of Pesticide Programs Antimicrobials Division U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20460 February 23, 2006 Page 2 of 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chlorine dioxide is inherently unstable under ambient conditions. Chlorine dioxide, chlorite and chlorate have a tendency to act as reactants to each other as well as products for each other, given the right conditions ( temperature, pH). There are no measured or estimated environmental parameters to estimate the environmental concerns. Chlorine dioxide converts into ions like chlorite, chlorate or chloride and is likely to migrate into ground water. Chlorine dioxide is used a s a disinfectant in many waste water treatment plants and there is concern from its residual presence as chlorite/ chlorate in high concentrations in some areas.

Chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite are being assessed together, as these inorganics are a unique set of chemicals: Chlorine dioxide is produced by a reaction of sodium chlorite ( and sometime sodium chlorate) and hypochlorite/ acid. Moreover, chlorite is a breakdown product of chlorine dioxide.

Major antimicrobial uses of chlorine dioxide and/ or sodium chlorite are as water disinfectants and pulp/ paper industry disinfectants. Therefore, a major route of contamination for chlorine dioxide or chlorite ions is through drinking water and as disinfectant use in paper/ pulp industry.

Chlorine dioxide is a greenish yellow gas at room temperature. It is a free radical ( has an unpaired electron), and hence, it is an unstable molecule. In the presence of sunlight, its half life is about thirty minutes. A closed container with > 10% ( v/ v) chlorine dioxide is potentially explosive. Chlorine dioxide, when used ( as a disinfectant), is generated on site. It is highly water soluble (~ 3 g/ L).

Sodium Chlorite is a solid, white powder. It is highly water soluble and immediately dissociates into sodium and chlorite ions.

Abiotic degradation:

Chlorine dioxide: It has a short half life, and in the presence of sunlight, whether it is in water or as a gaseous molecule, its breakdown products are: chloride and chlorate ions, between pH 4 and 7. Ultimately, oxygen is formed. At pH lower than 4, its breakdown products are chlorite and chlorate. Chlorite is the dominant breakdown product.

Sodium chlorite: It dissolves in water, and its breakdown products are: chloride and chlorate ions, under similar conditions as chlorine dioxide. It is common to see chemical degradation if sodium chlorite is in water and also in the presence of suspended soil particles containing ions, like Fe( II), Mn( II), I, S 2, through redox reactions.

The end products are chloride and oxygen. The same end products are obtained when sodium chlorite is heated. Page 3 of 3 Biotic Degradation:

Chlorate and chlorite ions show a tendency to undergo biodegradation under anaerobic conditions only. There are no reports indicating these ions under go biodegradation under aerobic conditions. Biodegradation for chlorate and chlorite have been observed in anoxic ground water, sediments and some soils. The end products are again the same: chloride and oxygen.

No adsorption/ desorption constants ( Kds) have been measured or reported in published literature for either chlorite or chlorate. Since these are ions, they are likely to be mobile and travel from surface to ground water easily.

The estimated log Kow of chlorine dioxide is  3.22 and for sodium chlorite is  7.17 and both are not likely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57377; File No. SR-NYSE Arca-2008-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule 7.31
To Modify the Primary Only Order Type

February 25, 2008.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on February 13, 2008, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' 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 substantially by NYSE Arca.
NYSE Arca filed the proposed rule change as a ``non-controversial''
proposed rule change pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing
with the Commission. 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.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NYSE Arca proposes to amend Rule 7.31(x) in order to modify the
permissible order entry time and eligibility of its Primary Only Order
(``PO Order''). The text of the proposed rule change is available at
NYSE Arca, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://
www.nyse.com.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NYSE Arca included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. NYSE Arca 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 NYSE Arca Equities rule 7.31(x) to
modify the operability and eligibility of PO Orders in order to provide
additional flexibility and increased functionality to its system and
its Users.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See NYSE Arca Rule 1.1(yy) for the definition of ``User.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The PO Order is a market or limit order that is routed to the
primary, listing market, without sweeping the NYSE Arca book.\6\ PO
Orders may be entered until a cut-off time as determined from time to
time by the Corporation. Presently, the Exchange restricts PO Orders to
participation in the primary, listing market opening. In an effort to
enhance order execution opportunities for its Users, the Exchange
proposes to modify the PO Order type so that they may be entered at any
time and to offer an order modifier for Users to designate PO Orders
that are eligible for entry and execution throughout the trading day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ NYSE Arca Rule 7.31(x).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the proposal, a PO Order may be entered at any time
\7\; and will be immediately routed to the primary, listing market for
execution. If the order is not IOC, the order is not returned to the
NYSE Arca book; rather it remains at the venue routed to, until
executed or cancelled that day. In instances where a symbol is halted,
the PO Order will remain at the primary, listing market until such time
that it is cancelled or the symbol is re-opened. PO Orders eligible for
participation in the primary, listing market's opening must be entered
before 6:28 a.m. (Pacific Time). A PO Order entered for participation
in the primary, listing market re-opening after a trading halt must be
entered after trading was halted on the Corporation and before the Re-
Opening Time. Otherwise, PO Orders eligible for participation in the
primary, listing market at all other times must be marked with the
modifier: PO+.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Users would be able to enter PO Orders into the system for
execution during any of the Exchange's trading sessions (Opening,
Core and Late Sessions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed changes to the PO Order type will provide additional
flexibility and functionality to the Exchange's system and its Users
that wish to use the system to comply with their obligations to avoid
trading through any Protected Quotation within the meaning of Rule
600(b)(58) of Regulation NMS.\8\ PO Orders may be designated as
intermarket sweep orders thereby providing the entering party the
ability to trade-through any protected bid or offer (as defined in Rule
600(b) of Regulation NMS under the Act) and to execute at the primary,
listing market. Of course, a broker-dealer that designates an order as
an intermarket sweep order has the responsibility of complying with
Rules 610 and 611 of Regulation NMS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 242.600(b)(58).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed clarification and
additional modifier will enhance flexibility and order execution
opportunities for its Users. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed amendments will also allow its Users to comply with their
obligation to avoid trading through any protected bid or offer within
the meaning of Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS. In addition, the Exchange
believes that the proposed functionality is substantially similar to
the ``Directed Orders'' presently offered by The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC (``Nasdaq'').\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55405 (March 6,
2007), 72 FR 11069 (March 12, 2007) (SR-NASDAQ-2007-020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of
section 6 of the Act,\10\ in general, and with sections 6(b)(1) and
(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that the proposal is designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1) and (b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NYSE Arca does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any

burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    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 \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13 \
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under 19b-4(f)(6) normally may not
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\14\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \15\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.\16\ The Commission
hereby grants the Exchange's request and designates the proposal as
operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). 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.
NYSE Arca has complied with this requirement.
    \15\ Id.
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay of
this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
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 would modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2019-0060; Airspace Docket No. 18-ASO-20) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2019-0060; Airspace Docket No. 18-ASO-20.'' The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified comment
closing date will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the

comment closing date. A report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed
in the docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays.
    An informal docket may also be examined during normal business
hours at the office of the Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

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

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to remove RNAV route Q-106. Q-106 extends
between the SMELZ, FL, WP (northwest of the Lakeland, FL, VORTAC) and
the GADAY, AL, WP (northeast of the Crestview, FL, VORTAC). The
implementation of the Florida Metroplex Q-route Project (83 FR 43750;
August 28, 2018), that became effective on November 8, 2018, increased
the number of RNAV Q-routes that extend through the area served by Q-
106. As a result, the FAA determined that Q-106 is obsolete and no
longer required.
    Q-routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11C
dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Q-route listed in this
document would be subsequently removed from the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (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 proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See, 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can

Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at 1-866-208-3676,
or for TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Although the Commission strongly encourages
electronic filing, documents may be paper-filed. To paper-file, mail an
original and seven copies to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please include
the project numbers (P-1855-048, P-1892-028, and P-1904-076) on any
comments or motions filed.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Application: The licensee asks the Commission to
extend the term of all three project licenses by one year. Such an
extension would move the license expiration dates from April 30, 2018
to April 30, 2019. The licensee says the extensions would enable it to
complete relicensing studies delayed by the decommissioning of the
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant and would enable the licensee to
review and incorporate study results into each license application
before filing applications with the Commission. According to the
licensee, the extensions would help maintain the integrity of the
Integrated Licensing Process, benefit relicensing participants during
the pre-filing stage of relicensing, and avoid amendments to the final
license applications.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
DC 20426, or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>. This filing may also be viewed

``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number of any of the three
projects, excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field
(example: P-1855) to access the document. You may also register online
at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via
email of new filings and issuances related to this or other pending
projects. A copy is also available for inspection and reproduction at
the address in item (h) above.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    n. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene: Anyone may submit
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
and .214, respectively. In determining the appropriate action to take,
the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments,
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the
specified comment date for the particular application.
    o. Filing and Service of Documents: Any filing must (1) bear in all
capital letters the title ``COMMENTS'', ``PROTEST'', or ``MOTION TO
INTERVENE'' as applicable; (2) set forth in the heading the name of the
applicant and the project number of the application to which the filing
