Waterway Suitability Assessment for Operation of Liquefied
Hazardous Gas Terminal; Port Arthur, TX

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Coast Guard regulations, Lynx Terminals LLC
(Lynx Terminals) has submitted a Letter of Intent and Preliminary
Waterway Suitability Assessment to the Coast Guard Captain of the Port,
Port Arthur, TX (COTP) regarding the company's plans to handle and
transport Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG) at the Port of Port Arthur
docks in Port Arthur, TX. The Coast Guard is notifying the public of
this proposed increase in LHG marine traffic on the Sabine-Neches
Waterway and is soliciting comments relevant to the Coast Guard's
preparation of a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) for issue to the
federal, state or local agency with jurisdiction over the proposed
facility.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received on or before
September 13, 2017.

Discussion

    Under 33 CFR 127.007(a), an owner or operator planning to build a
new facility handling Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG), or an owner or
operator planning new construction to expand or modify marine terminal
operations in an existing facility handling LHG, where the
construction, expansion, or modification would result in an increase in
the size and/or frequency of LHG marine traffic on the waterway
associated with the proposed facility or modification to an existing
facility, must submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to the COTP of the zone
in which the facility is or will be located. Under 33 CFR 127.007(e),
an owner or operator planning such new construction or expansion of an
existing facility must also file or update a Waterway Suitability
Assessment (WSA) that addresses the proposed increase in LHG marine
traffic in the associated waterway. Lynx Terminals, located in Port
Arthur, TX submitted an LOI and WSA on August 09, 2016 regarding the
company's proposed plans to handle and transport LHG at the Port of
Port Arthur, TX facility.
    Under 33 CFR 127.009, after receiving an LOI, the COTP issues a LOR
as to the suitability of the waterway for LNG or LHG marine traffic to
the appropriate jurisdictional authorities. The LOR is based on a
series of factors listed in 33 CFR 127.009 that relate to the physical
nature of the affected waterway and issues of safety and security
associated with LHG marine traffic on the affected waterway.
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the
proposed increase in LHG marine traffic on the Sabine-Neches Waterway.
The Coast Guard believes that input from the public may be useful to
the COTP with respect to validating the information provided in Lynx
Terminals' WSA and development of the LOR. Additionally, the Coast
Guard intends to task the Area Maritime Security Committee, Port
Arthur, TX and the Southeast Texas Waterways Advisory Council with
forming a subcommittee comprised of affected port users and
stakeholders. The goal of this subcommittee will be to gather
information to help the COTP assess the suitability of the associated
waterway for increased LHG marine traffic as it relates to navigational
safety and maritime security. In addition to the other documents
referenced in this notice, a brief summation of LYNX Terminals'
proposal is available for viewing in the public docket for this notice.
    On January 24, 2011, the Coast Guard published Navigation and
Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-2011, ``Guidance Related to
Waterfront Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Facilities''. NVIC 01-2011
provides guidance for owners and operators seeking approval to build
and operate LNG facilities. While NVIC 01-2011 is specific to LNG, it
provides useful process information and guidance for owners and
operators seeking approval to build and operate LHG facilities as well.
The Coast Guard will refer to NVIC 01-2011 for process information and
guidance in evaluating Lynx Terminals' WSA. A copy of NVIC 01-2011 is
available for viewing in the public docket for this notice and also on
the Coast Guard's Web site at http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvic/2010s.asp.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0566; FRL-9711-01-OAR]

April 2022 Denial of Petitions for Small Refinery Exemptions
Under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Denial of petitions.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing notice
of its final action entitled April 2022 Denial of Petitions for RFS
Small Refinery Exemptions (``SRE Denial'') in which EPA denied 36 small
refinery exemption (SRE) petitions under the Renewable Fuel Standard
(RFS) program. EPA is providing this notice for public awareness of and
the basis for EPA's decision issued on April 7, 2022.

DATES: April 25, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Nelson, Office of Transportation
and Air Quality, Compliance Division, Environmental Protection Agency,
2000 Traverwood Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48105; telephone number: 734-214-
4657; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Clean Air Act (CAA) provides that a small refinery \1\ may at
any time petition EPA for an extension of the exemption from the
obligations of the RFS program for the reason of disproportionate
economic hardship (DEH).\2\ In evaluating such petitions, the EPA
Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, will
consider the findings of a Department of Energy (DOE) study and other
economic factors.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The CAA defines a small refinery as ``a refinery for which
the average aggregate daily crude oil throughput for a calendar year
. . . does not exceed 75,000 barrels.'' CAA section 211(o)(1)(K).
    \2\ CAA section 211(o)(9)(B)(i).
    \3\ CAA section 211(o)(9)(B)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Decision

    In the SRE Denial,\4\ we conducted an extensive analysis and review
of information provided to EPA by small refineries in their SRE
petitions and in the comments submitted in response to the Proposed
Denial.\5\ We sought comment on all aspects of the Proposed Denial,
including on our conclusions that the CAA requires small refineries to
demonstrate that DEH is caused by compliance with the RFS program. We
also sought comment on our economic analyses and conclusion that no
small refineries face disproportionate costs of compliance due to the
RFS program, no economic hardship, and, therefore, no DEH caused by RFS
compliance. We requested additional data that would show the
relationship between RFS compliance costs and the price of
transportation fuel blendstocks. We also sought comment on our proposed
change in approach to SRE eligibility based on receipt of the original
statutory exemption, and our proposed decision to deny all pending SRE
petitions based on the proportional nature of the RFS requirements and
our findings regarding RIN cost passthrough. We considered all the
comments received and have responded to them in the SRE Denial and its
corresponding appendices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``April 2022 Denial of Petitions for RFS Small Refinery
Exemptions,'' EPA-420-R-22-005, April 2022.
    \5\ ``Proposed RFS Small Refinery Exemption Decision,'' EPA-420-
D-21-001, December 2021 (hereinafter the ``Proposed Denial''). 86 FR
70999 (December 14, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the SRE Denial, we find that all refineries face the same costs
to acquire RINs regardless of whether the RINs are created through the
act of blending renewable fuels or are purchased on the open market.
This happens because the market price for these fuels increases to
reflect the cost of the RIN, much as it would increase in response to
higher crude prices. In other words, this increased price for gasoline
and diesel fuel allows obligated parties to recover their RIN costs
through the market price of the fuel they produce. Because the market
behaves this way for all parties subject to the RFS program, there is
no disproportionate cost to any party, including small refineries, and
no hardship given that the costs are recovered. As a result, we
conclude that small refineries do not face DEH. Given this conclusion
and the other reasons described in the SRE Denial, we have denied 36
SRE petitions by finding the petitioning refineries do not face DEH
caused by compliance with their RFS obligations.

III. Judicial Review

    Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA governs judicial review of final
actions by the EPA. This section provides, in part, that petitions for
review must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit: (i) When the agency action consists of
``nationally applicable . . . final actions taken by the
Administrator,'' or (ii) when such action is locally or regionally
applicable, but ``such action is based on a determination of nationwide
scope or effect and if in taking such action the Administrator finds
and publishes that such action is based on such a determination.'' For
locally or regionally applicable final actions, the CAA reserves to the
EPA complete discretion whether to invoke the exception in (ii)
described in the preceding sentence.
    This final action is ``nationally applicable'' within the meaning
of CAA section 307(b)(1). In the alternative, to the extent a court
finds this final action to be locally or regionally applicable, the
Administrator is exercising the complete discretion afforded to him

under the CAA to make and publish a finding that this action is based
on a determination of ``nationwide scope or effect'' within the meaning
of CAA section 307(b)(1).\6\ This final action denies petitions for
exemptions from the RFS program for over 30 small refineries across the
country and applies to small refineries located within 18 states in 7
of the 10 EPA regions and in 8 different Federal judicial circuits.\7\
This final action is based on EPA's revised interpretation of the
relevant CAA provisions and the RIN discount and RIN cost passthrough
principles that are applicable to all small refineries no matter the
location or market in which they operate. For these reasons, this final
action is nationally applicable or, alternatively, the Administrator is
exercising the complete discretion afforded to him by the CAA and
hereby finds that this final action is based on a determination of
nationwide scope or effect for purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1) and is
hereby publishing that finding in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In deciding whether to invoke the exception by making and
publishing a finding that this final action is based on a
determination of nationwide scope or effect, the Administrator has
also taken into account a number of policy considerations, including
his judgment balancing the benefit of obtaining the D.C. Circuit's
authoritative centralized review versus allowing development of the
issue in other contexts and the best use of Agency resources.
    \7\ In the report on the 1977 Amendments that revised section
307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress noted that the Administrator's
determination that the ``nationwide scope or effect'' exception
applies would be appropriate for any action that has a scope or
effect beyond a single judicial circuit. See H.R. Rep. No. 95-294 at
323, 324, reprinted in 1977 U.S.C.C.A.N. 1402-03.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit by June 24, 2022.

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about the EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. The
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: On May 18, 2016, the EPA proposed the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES): Applications and Program Updates
rule (81 FR 31343). The Spring 2018 Regulatory Agenda explained that
the EPA would be finalizing the proposed rule in two separate but
related actions. This first final rule will address a subset of the
revisions proposed in 2016 to modernize the NPDES regulations, clarify
regulatory requirements, and promote submission of complete permit

applications. This ICR identifies the types of activities regulated and
calculates the burden and associated costs of the revisions to be
included in the first final rule, the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES): Specific Provisions Affecting Applications
and Program Updates (RIN 2040-AF25), and corresponding updated NPDES
permit application forms.
    Form numbers: OMB. No. 2040-0004; OMB. No. 2040-0086; OMB. No.
2040-0188; OMB. No. 2040-0211; OMB. No. 2040-0250; OMB. No. 2040-0284;
OMB. No. 1004-0189; OMB. No. 0596-0082.
    Respondents/affected entities: The respondents affected by this
collection activity include: The EPA; authorized state, territorial,
and tribal programs; and the regulated community.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: The collection is required
pursuant to CWA section 402, as implemented by the revisions to 40 CFR
parts 122, 124, and 125. Compliance with the updated application
requirements and corresponding updated application forms is mandatory.
The opportunity for NPDES permitting authorities to provide public
notice of NPDES permit actions using the internet in lieu of the
newspaper is voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 20,663 applicants/permittees;
20,019 state, territory, and tribal governments; 644 by the EPA (total:
41,326).
    Frequency of response: The burden would be realized once within a
five-year period, with the assumption that each permit would be
reapplied for and renewed once every five years.
    Total estimated burden: A reduction of 19,305 hours (per year).
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: A savings of $2,524,064 (per year), includes
a savings of $1,419,673 annualized capital or operation and maintenance
costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is an overall decrease of 19,305 hours
in the total estimated respondent burden. This decrease is due to:
Estimated burden reduction to both permittees and permitting
authorities resulting from revised application forms that are easier to
follow and redesigned to reduce confusion and support completion;
permitting authorities exercising the option to publicly notice
permitting decisions through public websites rather than through
publication in newspapers, and; additional minor reductions in burden
associated with permitting authority review of applications submitted
by POTWs with pretreatment programs and applications submitted by
permittees indicating the use of cooling water. These changes are due
to changes in program requirements, as well as updated and improved
NPDES permit application forms.

27802 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 98 / Wednesday, May 21, 2003 / Notices entry for stone fruit, except plum ( fresh prune) tolerance at 6.0 ppm as a higher tolerance of 10 ppm for fruit, stone, group 12 ( post harvest) is proposed herein.

A. Residue Chemistry 1. Plant metabolism. The qualitative nature of fenhexamid residues in plants is adequately understood. 2. Analytical method. An adequate method for purposes of enforcement of the proposed fenhexamid tolerances in plant commodities is available. 3. Magnitude of residues. The magnitude of residues for fenhexamid on the proposed commodities is adequately understood.

B. Toxicological Profile In the Federal Register of February 8, 2002 ( 67 FR 6028) ( FRL   6821   2), EPA published the Notice of Filing proposing the establishment of tolerances for residues of fenhexamid on a number of raw agricultural commodities, including caneberry, et. al. That publication summarizes in detail the current state of knowledge regarding the toxicological profile of fenhexamid including aggregate exposure assessment and determination of safety. Interested readers are referred to that document for specific information under Unit II.

C. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure   i. Food. Dietary exposure to fenhexamid is limited to the established tolerances for residues of fenhexamid on grapes ( at 4.0 ppm), raisins ( at 6.0 ppm), strawberries ( at 3.0 ppm), almond nutmeat ( at 0.02 ppm), almond hulls ( at 2.0 ppm), stonefruit ( pre harvest, at 5.0 ppm), pear ( at 15 ppm), bushberries ( at 5.0 ppm), caneberries ( at 20 ppm), and pistachios ( at 0.02 ppm); the proposed tolerances in the current submission which are as follows: Cucumber ( at 2.0 ppm), crop group 8 ( fruiting vegetables, at 2.0 ppm), kiwi ( post harvest, at 15.0 ppm), lettuce ( at 30.0 ppm), and crop group 12 ( stonefruit, pre harvest and post harvest, at 10.0 ppm). ii. Drinking water. Review of the environmental fate data indicates that fenhexamid is relatively immobile and rapidly degrades in the soil and water. Fenhexamid dissipates in the environment via several processes. Therefore, Arvesta Corporation believes that a significant contribution to aggregate risk from fenhexamid in drinking water is unlikely. 2. Non dietary exposure. There is no significant potential for nonoccupational exposure to the general public. The proposed uses are limited to agricultural and horticultural use. D. Cumulative Effects Consideration of a common mechanism of toxicity is not appropriate at this time since it has a unique mode of action. Moreover, there is no significant toxicity observed for fenhexamid. Even at toxicology limit doses, only minimal toxicity is observed for fenhexamid. Therefore, Arvesta Corporation concludes that only the potential risks of fenhexamid are considered in the exposure assessment.

E. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population. Considering that the percent of the chronic population adjusted dose ( cPAD) utilized by all current uses ( almonds, bushberries, caneberries, grapes, pear, pistachios, raisins, pre harvest stonefruit, and strawberry) is estimated to be 7% in the Federal Register of April 18, 2002 ( 67 FR 19114) ( FRL   6829   9); considering also the proposed tolerances, proportion of the crops treated and their importance in the diet, the percent of the cPAD utilized by the proposed uses is estimated to 14%. Therefore, Arvesta Corporation believes that the estimates of dietary exposure indicate adequate safety margins for the overall U. S. population. 2. Infants and children. Considering that the percent of the cPAD utilized by all current uses ( almonds, bushberries, caneberries, grapes, pear, pistachios, raisins, pre harvest stonefruit, and strawberry) is estimated to be 66% ( infants) and 17% ( children) ( 67 FR 19114, April 18, 2002); considering also the proposed tolerances, proportion of the crops treated and their importance in the diet, the percent of the cPAD utilized by the proposed uses is estimated to 11% ( infants) and 13% ( children). Therefore, the estimates of dietary exposure indicate adequate safety margins for children. In assessing the potential for additional sensitivity of infants and children to residues of fenhexamid, the available developmental toxicity and reproductive toxicity studies and the potential for endocrine modulation by fenhexamid were considered. Developmental toxicity studies in two species indicate that fenhexamid does not impose additional risks to developing fetuses and is not a teratogen. The 2   generation reproduction study in rats demonstrated that there were no adverse effects on reproductive performance, fertility, fecundity, pup survival, or pup development at non maternally toxic levels. Maternal and developmental no observed adverse effect levels ( NOAELs) and lowest observed adverse effect levels ( LOAELs) were comparable, indicating no increase in susceptibility of developing organisms. No evidence of endocrine effects was noted in any study. It is therefore concluded by Arvesta Corporation that fenhexamid poses no additional risk for infants and children and no additional uncertainty factor is warranted.

F. International Tolerances International tomato tolerances are in effect in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey ( 1 ppm), and other European countries ( 2 ppm). Kiwi tolerances are as follows: Greece, Italy, and Slovenia ( 10 ppm). Stonefruit tolerances already exist in the U. S. for pre harvest applications as well as in Canada ( 6 ppm), Austria ( cherry, 5 ppm; plum, 2 ppm); Belgium ( cherry, 5 ppm); Germany and Slovenia ( cherry, 5 ppm; peach and plum, 2 ppm), Italy ( cherry, 5 ppm; apricot, peach, and plum 2 ppm); Japan ( peach, 1 ppm), Switzerland ( cherry, 2 ppm) and the United Kingdom ( plum, 1 ppm), and other European countries ( peach and plum, 1 ppm; cherry, 5 ppm).

Carbofuran; Receipt of Applications for Emergency Exemption, Solicitation of Public Comment AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has received specific exemption requests from the Texas Department of Agriculture; the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry; and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to use the pesticide flowable carbofuran ( Furadan 4F Insecticide/ Nematicide) ( EPA Reg. No. 279   2876) to treat up to 1.8 million acres of cotton in Texas; 100,000 acres of cotton in Oklahoma; and 500,000 acres of cotton in Louisiana to control cotton aphid. The Applicants propose the use of a chemical which has been the subject of a Special Review within EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs, and is intended for a use that could pose a risk similar to the risk posed by uses evaluated under the Special Review. The granular formulation of carbofuran was the subject of a Special Review between the years of 1986   1991, which resulted in a negotiated settlement whereby most of VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 15: 43 May 20, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 21MYN1.

II. Background What Action is the Agency Taking?

Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act ( FIFRA) ( 7 U. S. C. 136p), at the discretion of the Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry; the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry; and the Texas Department of Agriculture have requested the Administrator to issue specific exemptions for the use of carbofuran on cotton to control cotton aphids. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request. As part of this request, the Applicants assert that the States of Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas are likely to experience non routine infestations of aphids during the 2003 cotton growing season. The Applicants further claim that resistance to currently registered alternatives may occur and that without a specific exemption from registration under FIFRA for the use of flowable carbofuran on cotton to control cotton aphids, cotton growers in these states will suffer significant economic losses. The Applicants propose to make no more than two applications of flowable carbofuran on cotton at the rate of 0.25 lb. active ingredient ( a. i.) ( 8 fluid ounces) in a minimum of 2 gallons of finished spray per acre by air, or 10 gallons of finished spray per acre by ground application. The total maximum proposed use during the 2003 growing season ( April 1, 2003  October 31, 2003 in Texas, July 1, 2003  October 15, 2003 in Oklahoma, and June 1, 2003  September 30, 2003 in Louisiana) would be 0.5 lb. a. i. ( 16 fl. oz.) per acre. The Applicants propose that the maximum acreage which could be treated under the requested exemptions would be 1.8 million acres in Texas; 100,000 acres in Oklahoma; and 500,000 acres in Louisiana. If all of these acres were treated at the maximum proposed rates and for the maximum allowed number of times, 900,000 lb. a. i. ( 225,000 gallons of Furadan 4F Insecticide/ Nematicide) would be used in Texas, 50,000 lb. a. i. would be used in Oklahoma, and 250,000 lb. a. i. would be used in Louisiana. This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption proposing use of a chemical ( i. e., an active ingredient) which has been the subject of a Special Review within EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs and is intended for a use that could pose a risk similar to the risk posed by uses evaluated under the Special Review. The granular formulation of carbofuran was the subject of a Special Review between the years of 1986   1991, which resulted in a negotiated settlement whereby most of the registered uses of granular carbofuran were phased out. While the flowable formulation of carbofuran is VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 15: 43 May 20, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 21MYN1.

The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. The Agency, will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemptions requested by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry; the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry; and the Texas Department of Agriculture.

[Release No. 34-60427; File No. SR-BX-2009-043]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Extend Fee Holiday for Registration
of Associated Persons

August 4, 2009.
    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 23, 2009, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (the ``Exchange'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have
been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice
to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange is filing this proposed rule change to extend a fee
holiday for registration and processing fees associated with
registration of associated persons of Exchange members. The Exchange
proposes to make the proposed rule change retroactive to July 1, 2009,
subject to Commission approval. The text of the proposed rule change is
available at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.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
    In connection with the resumption of trading of cash equities by
the Exchange in January 2009, the Exchange adopted a new set of Equity
Rules, which include rules to govern fees charged to members for
registration of associated persons with the Exchange. New Equity Rule
7003(b) set fees at levels identical to those established by the
Exchange prior to its acquisition by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
Specifically, the fees are $60 for each initial Form U4 filed for the
registration of a representative or principal and $40 for each transfer
or re-licensing of a representative of [sic] principal. However, in
recognition of the fact that the relaunch of equities trading by the
Exchange might cause additional firms to become members of the Exchange
and might cause additional representatives or principals of pre-
existing members to register, the Exchange waived these fees for the
period from January 1, 2009 to July 1, 2009.\3\ The Exchange is
proposing to extend this fee waiver period for an additional three
months, until October 1, 2009, to provide further opportunity for free
registration of associated persons of firms that are new to equity
trading through the Exchange. Registration events occurring after
October 1, 2009 would be subject to the fees. Because the previously
effective fee holiday lapsed on July 1, 2009, the

Exchange requests Commission approval to make the change retroactive to
July 1, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange had also established an annual fee of $50 for
each registered representative or principal. The annual fee, which
was historically collected in December of a year to cover the
succeeding year, was suspended for the period from January 1, 2009
until such time as the Exchange submits a proposed rule change to
reinstate it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\4\ in general, and with
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that it provides an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among
its members and other persons using the its facilities. The proposed
rule change provides for a temporary suspension of initial, transfer,
and relicensing fees applicable to all associated persons registering
during the period of the fee holiday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    A. By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    B. Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be 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:

Electronic Comments

     Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2016-0125]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on December 15, 2016, the Age
of Steam Roundhouse (AOSR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part
230, Steam Locomotive Inspection and Maintenance Standards. FRA
assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2016-0125.
    AOSR maintains and operates the locomotive number 1293, a 4-6-2
Pacific Class type steam locomotive built by the Canadian Locomotive
Works in 1948 for the Canadian Pacific Railway. AOSR requests relief
from performing the 1,472 service day inspection (SDI) required by 49
CFR 231.17, for number 1293, as it pertains to the inspection of the
boiler. AOSR is requesting an additional 3 calendar years before
performing the 1,472 SDI. The previous SDI was performed on May 4,
2002. Granting relief will allow number 1293 a SDI period of 18
calendar years, while not exceeding the 1,472 service days.
    AOSR sporadically operates number 1293 on the Ohio Central Railroad
(OHCR), part of the Genesee & Wyoming Corporation (GWRR). AOSR's
justification for requesting relief is that number 1293 has only
operated for a total 285 service days within the 15 calendar year
period. Due to the purchase of OHCR by the GWRR in 2008, AOSR now only
operates number 1293 for static and switching displays at its facility
while under steam. Since 2008, number 1293 has tallied 34 service days.
AOSR anticipates that number 1293 will be used for approximately 34
additional service days during the requested time extension.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
