[Docket No. CP20-486-000]

Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Tuscarora Xpress Project

    On June 24, 2020, Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company (Tuscarora)
filed an application in Docket No. CP20-486-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section
7(c) and 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to construct, replace, and operate
certain interstate natural gas transmission pipeline facilities. The
proposed project known as the Tuscarora Xpress Project (Project), seeks
to increase the certificated capacity of its natural gas pipeline by
15,000 dekatherms per day from Malin, Oregon to the Wadsworth
Compressor Station in Washoe County, Nevada.
    On July 7, 2020, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA--February 8, 2021
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--May 9, 2021

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    Tuscarora proposes to replace and upgrade an existing reciprocating
compressor unit (and building) and construct a new skid-mounted
compressor unit at the same location within the existing Wadsworth
Compressor Station in Washoe County, Nevada. Additionally, Tuscarora
would upgrade an existing meter, replace the existing meter bypass line
with a new meter piping run, and install a new meter within the
existing compressor station site. According to Tuscarora, the Project
is necessary to meet the growing market demand for natural gas in this
area.

Background

    On August 4, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Tuscarora XPress
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI
was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. In response to the NOI, the Commission did not receive
any environmental comments.

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 restricted area airspace at Chocolate Mountains,
CA, to enhance aviation safety and accommodate essential USMC training
requirements.

Background

    The Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range (CMAGR), located in
Imperial and Riverside Counties, CA is primarily used for live-fire
aviation and ground warfare training conducted by USMC and Navy forces.
Marine aviation plays a crucial role in the ability of Marine Air-
Ground Task Forces (MAGTF) to conduct maneuver warfare. The ultimate
goal of Marine aviation is to attain the highest possible combat
readiness to support expeditionary maneuver warfare while preserving
and conserving Marine forces and equipment. Embedded within combat
readiness is the requirement that Marine aviation units maintain the
ability to rapidly, effectively, and efficiently deploy a combat-
capable aircrew and aircraft on short notice, and maintain the ability
to quickly and effectively plan for crises and/or contingency
operations. R-2507W would allow Marine aviation to attain and maintain
this capability.
    Current procedures require the periodic renewal of the CFAs over
this area. Because nonparticipating aircraft may transit the CFAs
without limitation and without warning, safety of flight concerns often
result in lengthy training interruptions and failure to meet training
requirements. A higher-level demand for greater throughput of both
ground and aviation training in order to support real world operations
will likely increase the frequency of these incidents. The USMC
considered the existing R-2507N and the adjacent R-2507S restricted
areas in order to meet the expanded training requirements. The existing
restricted areas, which are primarily used for aerial ordnance delivery
and air strikes, are incompatible with required co-use ground training
activities. Alternate location suitability studies were conducted to
examine alternatives for the ground training activities. The studies
determined that the training capabilities offered in the proposed R-
2507W are unique and cannot be replicated elsewhere without significant
cost, time, and undue degradation or failure to meet USMC requirements.

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-2015-2193 and Airspace Docket No. 15-AWP-8) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management System (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
Internet at 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-2015-2193 and Airspace Docket No. 15-AWP-8.'' The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date
for comments 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 closing date
for comments. 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 www.regulations.gov.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received and any final disposition in person at 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 Operations Support Group, Western
Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, 1601 Lind Ave. SW.,
Renton, WA 98057.
    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This proposal would establish new restricted area. R-2507W to
accommodate live direct and indirect surface to surface fires
associated with established live fire ranges and maneuver areas
supporting Naval Special Warfare and Marine Corps ground unit training.
This proposed restricted area is required to effectively de-conflict
Department of Defense and civilian air traffic from hazards associated
with live fire training.
    Specific aviation activities and maximum altitudes within the R-
2507W would include both live fire and non-live fire aviation training
activities such as Basic Ordnance Delivery, Close Air Support, Air-to-
Air Gunnery, Laser Ranging and Designating, and Air Strikes. As part of
the Marine Corps' training in R-2507, the Marine Corps Air Command and
Control organization will develop a battle space management plan. This
plan will establish ground fire support and airspace coordination
measures in a way that integrates ground and air operations in planning
and execution within the MAGTF. Supersonic flight will not be conducted
as part of the above aviation training activities.
    Surface-to-surface and surface-to-air activities conducted within
the R-2507W would include live fire from various small arms, machine
guns, anti-tank weapons, mortars, and hand grenades. Direct fire
weapons will be used in this area 6-24 hours per day, no less than 300
days per year. A minimum of 40 percent use of the planned live fire
ranges will occur during hours of darkness (from 2200-0700).

    Expansion of the current restricted area complex supports an
increase in both Marine Corps and Naval aviation and ground training
requirements. In addition, the expansion would allow critically
required co-use of R-2507W in order to meet those increased training
requirements.

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.
Therefore, this proposed 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 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 subjected to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Extension:
    OMWI Contract Standard for Contractor Workforce Inclusion.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for approval.
    Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) provided that certain
agencies, including the Commission, establish an Office of Minority and
Women Inclusion (OMWI).\1\ Section 342(c)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act
requires the OMWI Director to include in the Commission's procedures
for evaluating contract proposals and hiring service providers a
written statement that the contractor shall ensure, to the maximum
extent possible, the fair inclusion of women and minorities in the
workforce of the contractor and, as applicable, subcontractors. To
implement the acquisition-specific requirements of Section 342(c)(2) of
the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commission adopted a Contract Standard for
Contractor Workforce Inclusion (Contract Standard).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 12 U.S.C. 5452.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Contract Standard, which is included in the Commission's
solicitations and resulting contracts for services with a dollar value
of $100,000 or more, contains a ``collection of information'' within
the meaning of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Contract Standard
requires that a Commission contractor provide documentation, upon
request from the OMWI Director, to demonstrate that it has made good
faith efforts to ensure the fair inclusion of minorities and women in
its workforce and, as applicable, to demonstrate its covered
subcontractors have made such good faith efforts. The documentation
requested may include, but is not limited to: (1) The total number of
employees in the contractor's workforce, and the number of employees by
race, ethnicity, gender, and job title or EEO-1 job category (e.g.,
EEO-1 Report(s)); (2) a list of covered subcontract awards under the
contract that includes the dollar amount of each subcontract, date of
award, and the subcontractor's race, ethnicity, and/or gender ownership
status; (3) the contractor's plan to ensure the fair inclusion of
minorities and women in its workforce, including outreach efforts; and
(4) for each covered subcontractor, the information requested in items
1 and 3 above. The OMWI Director will consider the information
submitted in evaluating whether the contractor or subcontractor has
complied with its obligations under the Contract Standard.
    The information collection is mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: Based on a review of the last two
full fiscal years since the last approval of this information
collection, the Commission estimates that 175 contractors \2\ would be
subject to the Contract Standard. Approximately 102 of these
contractors have 50 or more

employees, while 73 have fewer than 50 employees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Unless otherwise specified, the term ``contractors'' refers
to contractors and subcontractors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimate of recordkeeping burden: The information collection under
the Contract Standard imposes no new recordkeeping burdens on the
estimated 102 contractors that have 50 or more employees. Such
contractors are generally subject to recordkeeping and reporting
requirements under the regulations implementing Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act \3\ and Executive Order 11246 (``E.O. 11246'').\4\ Their
contracts and subcontracts must include the clause implementing E.O.
11246--FAR 52.222-26, Equal Opportunity. In addition, contractors that
have 50 or more employees (and a contract or subcontract of $50,000 or
more) are required to maintain records on the race, ethnicity, gender,
and EEO-1 job category of each employee under Department of Labor
regulations implementing E.O. 11246.\5\ The regulations implementing
E.O. 11246 also require contractors that have 50 or more employees (and
a contract or subcontract of $50,000 or more) to demonstrate that they
have made good faith efforts to remove identified barriers, expand
employment opportunities, and produce measurable results,\6\ and to
develop and maintain a written program, which describes the policies,
practices, and procedures that the contractor uses to ensure that
applicants and employees receive equal opportunities for employment and
advancement.\7\ In lieu of developing a separate plan for workforce
inclusion, a contractor may submit its existing written program
prescribed by the E.O. 11246 regulations as part of the documentation
that demonstrates the contractor's good faith efforts to ensure the
fair inclusion of minorities and women in its workforce. Thus,
approximately 102 contractors are already required to maintain the
information that may be requested under the Contract Standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 42 U.S.C. 2000e, et seq.
    \4\ Executive Order 11246, 30 FR 12,319 (Sept. 24, 1965).
    \5\ See 41 CFR 60-1.7.
    \6\ See 41 CFR 60-2.17(c).
    \7\ See 41 CFR part 60-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The estimated 73 contractors that employ fewer than 50 employees
are required under the regulations implementing E.O. 11246 to maintain
records showing the race, ethnicity and gender of each employee. We
believe that these contractors also keep job title information during
the normal course of business. However, contractors that have fewer
than 50 employees may not have the written program prescribed by the
E.O. 11246 regulations or similar plan that could be submitted as part
of the documentation to demonstrate their good faith efforts to ensure
the fair inclusion of women and minorities in their workforces.
Accordingly, contractors with fewer than 50 employees may have to
develop a plan to ensure workforce inclusion of minorities and women.
    In order to estimate the burden on contractors associated with
developing a plan for ensuring the inclusion of minorities and women in
their workforces, we considered the burden estimates for developing the
written programs required under the regulations implementing E.O.
11246.\8\ Based on OMWI's review of the plans and other documentation
submitted by contractors with fewer than 50 employees to demonstrate
compliance with the Contract Standard, we believe such contractors
would require approximately 25 percent of the hours that contractors of
similar size spend on developing the written programs required under
the E.O. 11246 regulations. Accordingly, we estimate that contractors
would spend about 18 hours of employee resources to develop a plan for
workforce inclusion of minorities and women. This one-time
implementation burden annualized would be 438 hours. After the initial
development, we estimate that each contractor with fewer than 50
employees would spend approximately 8 hours each year updating and
maintaining its plan for workforce inclusion of minorities and women.
The Commission estimates that the annualized recurring burden
associated with the information collection would be 365 hours. Thus,
the Commission estimates the annual recordkeeping burden for such
contractors would total 803 hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ According to the Supporting Statement for the OFCCP
Recordkeeping and Requirements-Supply Service, OMB Control No. 1250-
0003 (``Supporting Statement''), it takes approximately 73 burden
hours for contractors with 1-100 employees to develop the initial
written program required under the regulations implementing E.O.
11246. We understand the quantitative analyses prescribed by the
Executive Order regulations at 41 CFR part 60-2 are a time-consuming
aspect of the written program development. As there is no
requirement to perform these types of quantitative analyses in
connection with plan for workforce inclusion of minorities and women
under the Contract Standard, we believe the plan for workforce
inclusion will take substantially fewer hours to develop. The
Supporting Statement is available at reginfo.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Contract Standard requires contractors to maintain information
about covered subcontractors' ownership status, workforce demographics,
and workforce inclusion plans. Contractors would request this
information from their covered subcontractors, who would have an
obligation to keep workforce demographic data and maintain plans for
workforce inclusion of minorities and women because the Contract
Standard is included in their subcontracts. Based on data describing
recent Commission subcontractor activity, we believe that few
subcontractors will have subcontracts under Commission service
contracts with a dollar value of $100,000 or more.\9\ These
subcontractors may already be subject to similar recordkeeping
requirements as principal contractors. Consequently, we believe that
any additional requirements imposed on subcontractors would not
significantly add to the burden estimates discussed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ A search of subcontract awards on the usaspending.gov
website showed that fourteen subcontractors in FY 2019 and thirty
subcontractors in FY 2020 had subcontracts of $100K or more (Data as
of June 29, 2021. See data on subcontract awards available at http://usaspending.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimate of Reporting Burden

    With respect to the reporting burden, we estimate that it would
take all contractors on average approximately one hour to retrieve and
submit to the OMWI Director the documentation specified in the proposed
Contract Standard. We expect to request documentation from up to 50
contractors each year and therefore we estimate the total annual
reporting burden to be 50 hours.

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)

[Docket No. FAA-2016-9544; Airspace Docket No. 16-ASW-22]

Amendment of Class D and E Airspace for the Following Texas
Towns; Sherman, TX; and Temple, TX, and Establishment of Class E
Airspace, Temple, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action: Amends Class D airspace at North Texas Regional
Airport/Perrin Field, Sherman, TX; amends Class E airspace designated
as a surface area at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport,
Temple, TX; amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field, and
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport; and establishes Class E
airspace designated as an extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas
Regional Airport. Cancellation of standard instrument approach
procedures at these airports has made this action necessary for the
safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at
these airports. Additionally, geographic coordinates, names of
airports, and a navigation aid are being adjusted to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 12, 2017. The Director of the

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
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 amends Class D airspace at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin
Field, Sherman, TX; Class E airspace designated as a surface area at
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX; Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at North
Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field and Draughon-Miller Central Texas
Regional Airport; and establishes Class E airspace designated as an
extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, in support
IFR operations at these airports.

History

    On April 20, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR
18596) Docket No. FAA-2016-9544, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend Class D airspace at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field,
Sherman, TX; amend Class E airspace designated as a surface area at
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX; amend Class
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at North
Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field and Draughon-Miller Central Texas
Regional Airport; and establish Class E airspace designated as an
extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated
August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies:
    Class D airspace within a 4.7-mile radius (reduced from a 5.0-mile
radius) at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field (formerly Grayson
County Airport), Sherman/Denison, TX, and updates the name of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Class E airspace designated as a surface area within a 4.2-mile
radius (increased from a 4.1-mile radius) at Draughon-Miller Central
Texas Regional Airport (formerly Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport),
Temple, TX, eliminating the extension southeast of the airport, and
updates the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface:
    Within a 7.2-mile radius (increased from a 6.9-mile radius) of
North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field (formerly Grayson County
Airport), Sherman/Denison, TX, and updates the name and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database;
    Within a 6.7-mile radius of Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional
Airport (formerly Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport), Temple, TX,
eliminates the extensions north and southeast of the airport, amends
the extension northwest of the airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 14.4
miles (reduced from 19.5 miles), adds an extension south of the airport
from the 6.7-mile radius to 10.1 miles, adds an extension southwest of
the airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 9.7 miles, and updates the name
and geographic coordinates of the airport and the name of the Draughon-
Miller Central Texas Regional Localizer (formerly Draughon-Miller
Localizer) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    And establishes Class E airspace designated as an extension to
Class E surface airspace within a 4.2-mile radius of Draughon-Miller
Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX, with an extension southeast
7.7 miles.
    Cancellation of standard instrument approach procedures at these
airports prompted the FAA to conduct a review of the airspace.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these
airports.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background and Purpose

    The Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101
et seq., authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to
issue and enforce regulations deemed necessary to ensure the safe
transport of hazardous materials in commerce. In addition, the law
directs the Secretary to provide law enforcement and fire-fighting
personnel with technical information and advice for responding to
emergencies involving the transportation of hazardous materials.
    PHMSA developed the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) for use by
emergency services personnel to provide guidance for initial response
to hazardous materials incidents. Since 1980, it has been the goal of
PHMSA that all public emergency response vehicles (fire-fighting,
police, and rescue squads) will carry a copy of the ERG. To date and
without charge, PHMSA has distributed more than 11 million copies of
the ERG to emergency service agencies. Since 1996, the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Transport Canada,
and the Secretary of Communication and Transport of Mexico have
developed the ERG as a joint effort. The ERG2012 will supersede the
ERG2008 and will be published in English, French, and Spanish.
    Publication of the ERG2012 will increase public safety by providing
consistent emergency response procedures for hazardous materials
incidents in North America. To continually improve the ERG, PHMSA is
publishing this notice to actively solicit comments from interested
parties on their experiences using the ERG2008 and on ways the ERG
could be modified or improved.

B. Emergency Response Guidebook Questions:

    To assist in the gathering of information, PHMSA solicits comments
on ERG user concerns, experiences using the ERG2008, and on the
following questions. We are also interested in any other comments
stakeholders and users wish to provide.
    1. In what way(s) does the ERG achieve its purpose to aid first
responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic hazards of
the materials(s) involved in the incident, and protecting themselves
and the general public during the initial response phase of the
incident?
    2. How can the ERG be made more user-friendly for emergency
responders? Please provide examples.
    3. In what way(s) can the pictures, pictograms, and symbols shown
in the ERG be used more effectively and efficiently?
    4. What format(s) of the ERG are being used (hardcopy, electronic,
on-line, etc.) and why?
    5. How often is the ERG used in a hazmat emergency?
    6. Is the most useful information emphasized effectively in the
ERG2008 for its intended purpose?
    7. How could the ERG be enhanced to better assist with go/no-go
decision making while staying focused on its stated purpose? Please
provide examples.
    8. Have users experienced inconsistent guidance between utilizing
the ERG and other sources of technical information? How could these
inconsistencies be reconciled?
    9. Are there ways the White Pages could be improved or enhanced?
For example:
     How could or should sections of the ERG be combined or
merged? Please explain and provide examples.
     What additional identification charts should be added, if
any? What other subject matter should be addressed?
     Is the information provided in the Table of Placards, Rail
Identification Chart and Road Trailer Identification Chart appropriate
and correct? How could this information be made more useful and clear?
Should other information be included or removed? If so, what
information?
     Could current charts, and the information provided by
those charts, be formatted in a more effective manner? How could they
be improved to be more easily read and used?
     How could the Protective Clothing section be improved or
enhanced? What additional information could be included or removed?
     In what way(s) could the information provided on chemical,
biological, and radiological differences be improved upon or enhanced?
What

information could be included or removed?
     Are the terms listed in the Glossary appropriate and
current? What additional terms should be added? What terms should be
removed or changed?
     Are the sections of the White Pages in the appropriate
sequence? If not, how should the information be organized?
    10. Have any identification numbers or material names been
incorrectly assigned or cross-referenced to each other in the Yellow or
Blue Pages of the ERG2008?
    11. In the Yellow or Blue Pages of the ERG2008, has any
identification number and/or material name been assigned to an
incorrect Guide number? If so, please note the identification number,
material name, and the Guide number, and provide the correct
information and reason for this change.
    12. Are the recommendations and responses provided in each of the
Orange Guide Pages appropriate to the material it's assigned to? If
not, please explain and recommend a correction.
    13. How could Table 1--``Initial Isolation and Protective Action
Distances'' and Table 2--``Water Reactive Materials Which Produce Toxic
Gases,'' or the Introduction and Description of each Table be modified
or improved?

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-75438; File No. SR-Phlx-2015-57]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Section II of the Pricing Schedule

 July 13, 2015.
    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 June 30, 2015, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``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 Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Exchange's Pricing Schedule at
section II, entitled ``Multiply Listed Options Fees,'' \3\ to: (1)
Increase the maximum Qualified Contingent Cross (``QCC'') orders rebate
which will be paid in a given month; and (2) amend a strategy fee cap
related to dividend,\4\ merger,\5\ short stock interest,\6\ reversal
and conversion,\7\ jelly roll \8\ and box spread \9\ floor option
transaction strategies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ These fees include options overlying equities, ETFs, ETNs
and indexes which are Multiply Listed.
    \4\ A dividend strategy is defined as transactions done to
achieve a dividend arbitrage involving the purchase, sale and
exercise of in-the-money options of the same class, executed the
first business day prior to the date on which the underlying stock
goes ex-dividend.
    \5\ A merger strategy is defined as transactions done to achieve
a merger arbitrage involving the purchase, sale and exercise of
options of the same class and expiration date, executed the first
business day prior to the date on which shareholders of record are
required to elect their respective form of consideration, i.e., cash
or stock.
    \6\ A short stock interest strategy is defined as transactions
done to achieve a short stock interest arbitrage involving the
purchase, sale and exercise of in-the-money options of the same
class.
    \7\ Reversal and conversion strategies are transactions that
employ calls and puts of the same strike price and the underlying
stock. Reversals are established by combining a short stock position
with a short put and a long call position that shares the same
strike and expiration. Conversions employ long positions in the
underlying stock that accompany long puts and short calls sharing
the same strike and expiration.
    \8\ A jelly roll strategy is defined as transactions created by
entering into two separate positions simultaneously. One position
involves buying a put and selling a call with the same strike price
and expiration. The second position involves selling a put and
buying a call, with the same strike price, but with a different
expiration from the first position.
    \9\ A box spread strategy is a strategy that synthesizes long
and short stock positions to create a profit. Specifically, a long
call and short put at one strike is combined with a short call and
long put at a different strike to create synthetic long and
synthetic short stock positions, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the changes proposed herein are effective upon filing, the
Exchange has designated that the amendments be operative on July 1,
2015.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/, 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 purpose of this filing is to: (1) Increase the maximum QCC
rebate that will be paid by the Exchange in a given month; and (2)
increase the per member organization Monthly Strategy Cap applicable to
dividend, merger, short stock interest, reversal and conversion, jelly
roll and box spread strategies.
QCC Rebate
    Today, the Exchange pays rebates on QCC Orders based on the
following five tier rebate schedule:

QCC Rebate Schedule

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Rebate per
            Tier                        Threshold              contract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tier 1.....................  0 to 299,999 contracts in a           $0.00
                              month.
Tier 2.....................  300,000 to 499,999 contracts           0.07
                              in a month.
Tier 3.....................  500,000 to 699,999 contracts           0.08
                              in a month.
Tier 4.....................  700,000 to 999,999 contracts           0.09
                              in a month.
Tier 5.....................  Over 1,000,000 contracts in a          0.11
                              month.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Exchange pays a rebate on all qualifying executed QCC Orders,
including QCC Orders as defined in Exchange Rule 1080(o) \10\ and Floor
QCC Orders, as defined in 1064(e),\11\ (collectively ``QCC Orders'')
except where the transaction is either: (i) Customer-to-Customer; or
(ii) a dividend, merger, short stock interest or reversal or conversion
strategy execution. Today, the maximum rebate the Exchange will pay in
a given month for QCC Orders is $375,000. Today, QCC Transaction Fees
for a Specialist,\12\ Market Maker,\13\ Professional,\14\ Firm \15\ and
Broker-Dealer \16\ are $0.20 per contract.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ A QCC Order is comprised of an order to buy or sell at
least 1000 contracts that is identified as being part of a qualified
contingent trade, as that term is defined in Rule 1080(o)(3),
coupled with a contra-side order to buy or sell an equal number of
contracts. The QCC Order must be executed at a price at or between
the National Best Bid and Offer and be rejected if a Customer order
is resting on the Exchange book at the same price. A QCC Order shall
only be submitted electronically from off the floor to the PHLX XL
II System. See Rule 1080(o). See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 64249 (April 7, 2011), 76 FR 20773 (April 13, 2011) (SR-
Phlx-2011-47) (a rule change to establish a QCC Order to facilitate
the execution of stock/option Qualified Contingent Trades (``QCTs'')
that satisfy the requirements of the trade through exemption in
connection with Rule 611(d) of Regulation NMS).
    \11\ A Floor QCC Order must: (i) Be for at least 1,000
contracts, (ii) meet the six requirements of Rule 1080(o)(3) which
are modeled on the QCT Exemption, (iii) be executed at a price at or
between the National Best Bid and Offer (``NBBO''); and (iv) be
rejected if a Customer order is resting on the Exchange book at the
same price. In order to satisfy the 1,000-contract requirement, a
Floor QCC Order must be for 1,000 contracts and could not be, for
example, two 500-contract orders or two 500-contract legs. See Rule
1064(e). See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64688 (June
16, 2011), 76 FR 36606 (June 22, 2011) (SR-Phlx-2011-56).
    \12\ A ``Specialist'' is an Exchange member who is registered as
an options specialist pursuant to Rule 1020(a).
    \13\ A ``Market Maker'' includes Registered Options Traders
(Rule 1014(b)(i) and (ii)), which includes Streaming Quote Traders
(see Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A)) and Remote Streaming Quote Traders (see
Rule 1014(b)(ii)(B)). Directed Participants are also Market Makers.
    \14\ The term ``Professional'' means any person or entity that
(i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and (ii) places more
than 390 orders in listed options per day on average during a
calendar month for its own beneficial account(s). See Rule
1000(b)(14).
    \15\ The term ``Firm'' applies to any transaction that is
identified by a member or member organization for clearing in the
Firm range at OCC.
    \16\ The term ``Broker-Dealer'' applies to any transaction which
is not subject to any of the other transaction fees applicable
within a particular category.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange will continue to pay rebates on QCC Orders as
described above. The Exchange proposes to amend the QCC Rebate Schedule
to increase the maximum QCC Rebate of $375,000 to $450,000 per month.
The Exchange believes that the proposed amendment to its pricing for
QCC Orders will enable the Exchange to attract additional QCC Orders.
Monthly Strategy Cap
    Today, the Exchange applies certain strategy caps \17\ to dividend,
merger, short stock interest, reversal and conversion, jelly roll and
box spread floor option transaction strategy executions in Multiply
Listed

Options.\18\ The Exchange further separately caps each member
organization for dividend, merger, short stock interest, reversal and
conversion, jelly roll and box spread strategy executions in Multiply
Listed Options, combined in a month when trading in their own
proprietary accounts (``Monthly Strategy Cap'') at $60,000.\19\ The
Exchange proposes to increase the Monthly Strategy Cap from $60,000 to
$65,000 per member organization, per month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ To qualify for a strategy cap, the buy and sell side of a
transaction must originate from the Exchange floor.
    \18\ Fees paid by a Specialist, Market Maker, Professional, Firm
and Broker-Dealer for floor option transaction in Multiply Listed
Options are capped at $1,500 for dividend, merger and short stock
interest strategies executed on the same trading day in the same
options class when such members are trading in their own proprietary
accounts. The Exchange will continue to cap at $700 the fees paid by
Specialist, Market Maker, Professional, Firm and Broker-Dealer for
reversal and conversion, jelly roll and box spread floor option
transaction strategies that are executed on the same trading day in
the same options class.
    \19\ Reversal and conversion, jelly roll and box spread strategy
executions are not included in the Monthly Strategy Cap for a Firm.
Reversal and conversion, jelly roll and box spread strategy
executions are included in the Monthly Firm Fee Cap. All dividend,
merger, short stock interest, reversal and conversion, jelly roll
and box spread strategy executions are excluded from the Monthly
Market Maker Cap. Firms are subject to a maximum fee of $75,000
(``Monthly Firm Fee Cap''). Specialists and Market Makers are
subject to a ``Monthly Market Maker Cap'' of $500,000 for: (i)
Electronic and floor Option Transaction Charges; and (ii) QCC
Transaction Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Despite increasing the cap, the Exchange believes that offering
members and member organizations the opportunity to continue to cap
transaction fees will benefit Phlx members and the Phlx market by
encouraging members to transact greater liquidity.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Pricing
Schedule is consistent with section 6(b) of the Act \20\ in general,
and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4) and (b)(5) of the Act
\21\ in particular, in that it provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and
other persons using any facility or system which Phlx operates or
controls, and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4), (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

QCC Rebates
    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to increase the maximum
amount of the QCC Rebate the Exchange would pay a market participant in
a given month from $375,000 to $450,000 because the Exchange believes
it will attract additional QCC Orders to the Exchange.
    The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to increase the maximum amount of the QCC Rebate the
Exchange would pay a market participant in a given month from $375,000
to $450,000 because all qualifying market participants are entitled to
obtain this rebate if they transact a qualifying number of QCC Orders.
All market participants are eligible to transact QCC Orders.
Monthly Strategy Cap
    The Exchange's proposal to increase the Monthly Strategy Cap from
$60,000 to $65,000 is reasonable because, despite the increase to the
cap, the Exchange will continue to offer members an opportunity to
lower their fees related to the execution of strategy transactions. For
example, when a member incurs transaction fees in the amount of $65,000
in a given month related to strategy executions, the member will not
pay for additional strategy executions for the remainder of that month
as a result of the fee cap.
    The Exchange's proposal to increase the Monthly Strategy Cap from
$60,000 to $65,000 is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because
the Exchange would continue to offer members the opportunity to cap
their floor equity options transaction in Multiply Listed Options fees
for all strategies. Customers are excluded because they are not
assessed a floor Options Transaction Charge.\22\ Excluding Firm floor
Options Transaction Charges in Multiply Listed Options related to
reversal and conversion, jelly roll and box spread strategies from the
Monthly Strategy Cap is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because these fees would continue to be capped as part
of the Monthly Firm Fee Cap, which applies only to Firms. The Exchange
believes that the exclusion of Firm floor Options Transaction Charges
in Multiply Listed Options related to reversal and conversion, jelly
roll and box spread strategies from the Monthly Strategy Cap is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because Firms, unlike other
market participants, have the ability to cap transaction fees up to
$75,000 per month.\23\ The Exchange would include floor option
transaction charges related to reversal and conversion, jelly roll and
box spread strategies in the Monthly Strategy Cap for Professionals,
and Broker Dealers, when such members are trading in their own
proprietary accounts, because these market participants are not subject
to the Monthly Firm Fee Cap or other similar cap. While Specialists and
Market Makers are subject to a Monthly Market Maker Cap on both
electronic and floor options transaction charges, reversal and
conversion, jelly roll and box spread transactions are excluded from
the Monthly Market Maker Cap [sic].\24\ For the reasons described
above, the Exchange believes continuing to include reversal and
conversion, jelly roll and box spread strategies in the Monthly Firm
Fee Cap is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because the cap provides an incentive for Firms to transact floor
transactions on the Exchange, which brings increased liquidity and
order flow to the floor for the benefit of all market participants.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See Section II of the Pricing Schedule.
    \23\ Firms are subject to a maximum fee of $75,000 (``Monthly
Firm Fee Cap''). Firm Floor Option Transaction Charges and QCC
Transaction Fees, in the aggregate, for one billing month will not
exceed the Monthly Firm Fee Cap per member organization when such
members are trading in their own proprietary account. All dividend,
merger, and short stock interest strategy executions will be
excluded from the Monthly Firm Fee Cap. Reversal and conversion,
jelly roll and box spread strategy executions (as defined in this
Section II) will be included in the Monthly Firm Fee Cap. QCC
Transaction Fees are included in the calculation of the Monthly Firm
Fee Cap.
    \24\ Id.
    \25\ Firms are eligible to cap floor options transactions
charges and QCC Transaction Fees as part of the Monthly Firm Fee
Cap. QCC Transaction Fees apply to QCC Orders as defined in Exchange
Rule 1080(o) and Floor QCC Orders as defined in 1064(e). See Section
II of the Pricing Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal to continue to apply
strategy fee caps to orders originating from the Exchange floor is
reasonable because certain members pay floor brokers to execute trades
on the Exchange floor, thereby incurring costs related to this business
model. The Exchange believes that offering fee caps to members
executing floor transactions would defray brokerage costs associated
with executing strategy transactions and continue to incentivize
members to utilize the floor for certain executions.\26\ The Exchange
believes that its proposal to continue to apply the fee cap to Multiply
Listed Options orders originating from the Exchange floor is equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory because today, the fee caps are only
applicable for floor transactions. The Exchange believes that a
requirement that both the buy and sell sides of the order originate
from the

floor to qualify for the fee cap constitutes equal treatment of
members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ The fee cap is applied to options transaction charges where
buy and sell sides originate from the Exchange floor. See proposed
rule text in section II of the Pricing Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that its
proposal to increase the maximum QCC Rebate does not impose a burden on
competition. The Exchange's proposal should encourage market
participants to transact a greater number of QCC Orders in order to
obtain QCC Rebates. All market participants are eligible to transact
QCC Orders.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change to the
Monthly Strategy Cap will impose any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act
because the proposed changes apply uniformly to all members that incur
transaction charges, except Firms.\27\ Excluding Firm floor options
transactions in Multiply Listed Options related to reversal and
conversion, jelly roll and box spread strategies from the Monthly
Strategy Cap does not create an undue burden on competition because
these fees would continue to be capped as part of the Monthly Firm Fee
Cap. The Exchange believes the proposal is consistent with robust
competition and does not provide any unnecessary burden on competition.
Further, certain floor members pay floor brokers to execute trades on
the Exchange floor, thereby incurring costs related to this business
model. The Exchange believes that offering fee caps to members
executing floor transactions and not electronic executions does not
create an unnecessary burden on competition because the fee caps defray
brokerage costs associated with executing strategy transactions. Also,
requiring that both the buy and sell sides of the order originate from
the floor to qualify for the fee cap constitutes equal treatment of
members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ Customers are not assessed options transaction charges in
section II of the Pricing Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market, comprised of
twelve options exchanges, in which market participants can easily and
readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels
at a particular venue to be excessive or rebates to be inadequate.
Accordingly, the fees that are assessed and the rebates paid by the
Exchange described in the above proposal are influenced by these robust
market forces and therefore must remain competitive with fees charged
and rebates paid by other venues and therefore must continue to be
reasonable and equitably allocated to those members that opt to direct
orders to the Exchange rather than competing venues.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\28\ At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest,
for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
