Federal Aviation Administration

Approval of Teterboro Airport (TEB) Noise Compatibility Program

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of approval of the Teterboro Airport (TEB) noise
compatibility program.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
findings for the noise compatibility program submitted by LGA, see
supplementary information for details. On June 15, 2017, the FAA
determined that the noise exposure maps submitted by TEB were in
compliance with applicable requirements. On July 15, 2022, the FAA
determined that the noise compatibility program submitted by TEB would
be initiating final review for approval or disapproval. On January 10,
2023, the FAA approved the TEB noise compatibility program. The noise
compatibility program contained 33 recommended measures, including 16
noise abatement measures, four land use measures, and 13 program
management measures. Of the measures proposed, 23 were approved, four
were approved as voluntary, three were disapproved, and three were
determined to have no FAA action as continuations of existing mandatory
practices at TEB. Six of the 16 noise abatement procedures proposed at
LGA are related to new or revised flight procedures.

DATES: The effective date of the FAA's approval of the LGA noise
compatibility program is January 10, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Brooks, Regional Environmental
Program Manager, Airports Division, Federal Aviation Administration, 1
Aviation Plaza, Room 516, Jamaica, NY 11434. Phone Number: 718-553-
2511.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces FAA's approval of the
noise compatibility program (NCP) for TEB, effective on January 10,
2023. Per United States Code section 47504 (49 U.S.C. 47504) and Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150, an airport sponsor who
previously submitted a noise exposure map (NEM) may submit to the FAA a
noise compatibility program which sets forth the measures taken or
proposed by the airport sponsor for the reduction of existing non-
compatible land uses and prevention of additional non-compatible land
uses within the area covered by the NEMs. As required by 49 U.S.C.
47504, such programs must be developed in consultation with interested
and affected parties including local communities, government agencies,
airport users, and the FAA. The FAA does not substitute its judgment
for that of the airport sponsor with respect to which measures should
be recommended for action. The FAA approval or disapproval of an
airports recommendations in their noise compatibility program are made
in accordance with the requirements and standards pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
47504 and 14 CFR part 150, which is limited to the following
determinations:
    a. The noise compatibility program was developed in accordance with
the provisions and procedures of 14 CFR 150.23;
    b. Program measures are reasonably consistent with achieving the
goals of reducing existing non-compatible land uses around the airport
and preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses;
    c. Program measures would not create an undue burden on interstate
or foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate against types or classes of
aeronautical uses, violate the terms of airport grant agreements, or
intrude into areas preempted by the Federal Government; and
    d. Program measures relating to the use of flight procedures can be
implemented within the period covered by the program without derogating
safety, adversely affecting the efficient use and management of the
navigable airspace and air traffic control systems, or adversely
affecting other powers and responsibilities of the Administrator
prescribed by law.
    Specific limitations of FAA's approval of NCPs are delineated in 14
CFR 150.5. Approval is not a determination concerning the acceptability
of land uses under Federal, state, or local law. Approval does not by
itself constitute an FAA implementing action. A request for Federal
action or approval to implement specific noise compatibility measures
may be required, and an FAA decision on the request may require an
environmental assessment of the proposed action. Approval does not
constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the
implementation of the noise compatibility program nor a determination
that all measures covered by the NCP are eligible for grant-in-aid
funding from the FAA. Where federal funding is sought, requests must be
submitted to the FAA New York Airports District Office at 1 Aviation
Plaza, Room 111, Jamaica, New York 11434.
    TEB submitted the noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the noise compatibility planning study to
the FAA and the FAA determined that the NEMs for TEB were in compliance
with applicable requirements under 14 CFR 150, effective June 15, 2017
(Noise Exposure Map Notice for Teterboro Airport, Teterboro, New
Jersey, volume 82, Federal Register, pages 28545-6, June 22, 2017). The
FAA formally received the NCP based on the accepted NEMs for TEB on
July 7, 2022. The airport operator requested that the FAA review the
submitted material and that the noise mitigation measures, to be
implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be
approved

as a NCP. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180
days, was initiated on July 15, 2022. Notice of the intent to review
the NCP was published in the Federal Register on July 21, 2022 (Notice
of Receipt and Request for Review of Noise Compatibility Program,
volume 87, Federal Register, pages 43594-5, July 21, 2022). That
Federal Register Notice also announced the start of a 60-day period of
public review for the NCP documentation. The FAA received no comments
from interested parties during the public review period.
    The TEB proposed NCP is comprised of actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions within
the next one to five years. It was requested that the FAA evaluate and
approve this material as a noise compatibility program as described in
49 U.S.C. 47504. The FAA began its review of the program on July 15,
2022 and was required by a provision of 49 U.S.C. 47504 to approve or
disapprove the program within 180 days, other than the use of new or
modified flight procedures for noise control. Failure to approve or
disapprove such program within the 180-day period shall be deemed an
approval of such program.
    The submitted program contained 33 proposed measures to minimize
impacts of aviation noise on and off the airport. The FAA completed its
review and determined that the procedural and substantive requirements
of the 49 U.S.C. 47504 and 14 CFR part 150 were satisfied. A Record of
Approval for the overall program was issued by the FAA, effective
January 10, 2023.

WHEREAS, on March 17, 2015, and again on March 17, 2016, Plaintiff served prior notice on EPA via certified letter alleging that EPA had failed to promulgate a regional-haze FIP for Louisiana within two years of partially disapproving the state's SIP;
WHEREAS, the relief requested in the Complaint includes, among other things, an order from this Court to establish a date certain by which EPA must fulfill its obligation under the Clean Air Act;
WHEREAS, Plaintiff and EPA (each a Party and together, the Parties) wish to settle this case without expensive and protracted litigation, and without a litigated resolution of any issue of law or fact;
WHEREAS, the Parties consider this consent decree to be an adequate and equitable resolution of all claims in this matter and consent to entry of this consent decree; and
WHEREAS, the Court, by entering this consent decree, finds that it is fair, reasonable, in the public interest, and consistent with the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7401 et seq.
NOW THEREFORE, before the taking of testimony, without trial or determination of any issues of fact or law, and upon consent of the Parties, it is hereby ORDERED that:
 This Court has subject-matter jurisdiction over the claims set forth in the Complaint pursuant to the citizen suit provision of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7604(a)(2).
 Venue is proper in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
 Pursuant to Section 110(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7410(c)(1), EPA shall, by March 31, 2017, sign a notice or notices of proposed rulemaking in which EPA proposes approval of a SIP, promulgation of a FIP, or partial approval of a SIP and promulgation of a partial FIP for Louisiana that collectively meet the outstanding regional-haze implementation plan requirements under the Clean Air Act and EPA's regional-haze regulations.  See 42 U.S.C. §§ 7491-92; 40 C.F.R. §§ 51.300-51.309.
 Pursuant to Section 110(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7410(c)(1), EPA shall, by December 15, 2017, sign a notice or notices of final rulemaking approving a SIP, promulgating a FIP, or partially approving a SIP and promulgating a partial FIP for Louisiana that collectively meet the outstanding regional-haze implementation plan requirements under the Clean Air Act and EPA's regional-haze regulations.  See 42 U.S.C. §§ 7491-92; 40 C.F.R. §§ 51.300-51.309.
 EPA shall, within 15 business days of signature, deliver notice of each action taken pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Consent Decree to the Office of the Federal Register for review and publication.
 The deadlines established by this consent decree may be extended (A) by written stipulation of the Parties with notice to the Court, or (B) by the Court upon motion by EPA for good cause shown pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and upon consideration of any response by Plaintiff and any reply by EPA.  Any other provision of this consent decree may be modified by the Court following motion by a Party for good cause shown pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and upon consideration of any response by the non-moving Party and any reply.
 The Parties shall not challenge the terms of this consent decree or this Court's jurisdiction to enter and enforce this decree.
 The Parties agree that this consent decree shall constitute a complete and final settlement of all claims that Plaintiff has asserted in this case.  Plaintiff therefore discharges and covenants not to sue the United States, including EPA, for any such claims.
 The Court shall retain jurisdiction over this matter to enforce the terms of this consent decree, to resolve any disputes thereunder, and to consider any requests for costs of litigation, including attorney fees.  After EPA's obligations under Paragraphs 3 and 4 have been completed, this case shall be dismissed with prejudice.  The Parties shall file the appropriate notice with the Court so that the Clerk may close the file.
 In the event of a dispute between Plaintiff and EPA concerning the interpretation or implementation of any aspect of this consent decree, the disputing Party shall provide the other Party with a written notice outlining the nature of the dispute and requesting informal negotiations.  The Parties shall meet and confer to attempt to resolve the dispute.  If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 10 business days after receipt of the notice, either Party may petition the Court to resolve the dispute.
 No motion or other proceeding seeking to enforce this consent decree or for contempt of Court shall be filed unless the Party seeking to enforce this decree has followed the procedure set forth in Paragraph 10.
 Nothing in this consent decree shall be construed to limit or modify any discretion given EPA by the Clean Air Act or by general principles of administrative law in taking the actions that are the subject of this decree, including the discretion to alter, amend, or revise any responses or final actions contemplated by this consent decree.  EPA's obligation to perform the actions specified by Paragraphs 3 and 4 does not constitute a limitation or modification of EPA's discretion within the meaning of this paragraph.
 Nothing in this consent decree shall be construed as an admission of any issue of fact or law nor to waive or limit any claim, remedy, or defense, on any grounds, related to any final action EPA takes as to the SIPs or FIPs identified in Paragraphs 3 and 4.
 Nothing in this consent decree shall be construed (A) to confer upon this Court jurisdiction to review any issues that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Courts of Appeals under Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7607(b)(1), or (B) to waive any claims, remedies, or defenses that the Parties may have under Section 307(b)(1), 42 U.S.C. § 7607(b)(1).
 The Parties acknowledge that the obligations imposed on EPA under this consent decree can only be undertaken using appropriated funds legally available for such purpose.  No provision of this decree shall be interpreted as or constitute a commitment or requirement that EPA obligate or pay funds in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341, or any other applicable provision of law.
 If a lapse in appropriations for EPA occurs within 120 days before any deadline in Paragraphs 3 and 4, that deadline shall be automatically extended one day for each day of the lapse in appropriations.  Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude EPA from seeking an additional extension through modification pursuant to Paragraph 6.
 The Parties agree that before this consent decree can be finalized and entered by the Court, EPA must provide notice in the Federal Register and an opportunity for comment pursuant to Section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7413(g).  EPA will deliver a public notice of this decree to the Federal Register for publication and public comment within 10 business days after lodging this decree with the Court.  After this decree has undergone an opportunity for notice and comment, the Administrator and the Attorney General, as appropriate, will promptly consider any written comments in determining whether to withdraw or withhold consent to this decree in accordance with Section 113(g), 42 U.S.C. § 7413(g).  If the Administrator or the Attorney General elects not to withdraw or withhold consent, the Parties will promptly file a motion requesting this Court to enter this decree.  If such a motion is not filed within 60 days after notice is published in the Federal Register, any Party may file dispositive motions in this matter.
 It is hereby expressly understood and agreed that this consent decree was jointly drafted by Plaintiff and EPA.  Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that any and all rules of construction that ambiguity is construed against the drafting party shall be inapplicable in any dispute concerning this decree's terms, meaning, or interpretation.
 Any notices required or provided for by this consent decree shall be in writing, via electronic mail or other means, and sent to the following (or to any new address of counsel as filed and listed in the docket of this matter, at a future date):

position of 3 feet at mean high water and 6 feet at mean low water. The
drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.223.
    The owner of the bridge, the National Passenger Rail Corporation
(Amtrak), requested a temporary deviation from the regulations to
facilitate scheduled bridge maintenance, gear box repairs at the
bridge.
    Under this temporary deviation the Amtrak Bridge may remain in the
closed position from 6 p.m. on October 21, 2010 through 6 a.m. on
October 22, 2010 to remove the old gear box. The bridge may remain in
the closed position from 6 p.m. on November 12, 2010 through 6 a.m. on
November 13, 2010, to install the rebuilt gear box.
    In the event of inclement weather the bridge may remain in the

2010 to 6 a.m. on November 15, 2010 or from 6 p.m. on November 15, 2010
to 6 a.m. on November 16, 2010.
    A crane barge will be located in the south navigation channel
during the removal and installation of the gear box. Vessels that can
pass under the bridge in the closed position may do at any time through
the north Channel.
    Waterway users were advised of the requested bridge and channel
closure and offered no objection.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Form ABS-EE.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form ABS-EE (17 CFR 249.1401) is filed by asset-backed issuers to
provide asset-level information for registered offerings of asset-
backed securities at the time of securitization and on an ongoing basis
required by Item 1111(h) of Regulation AB (17 CFR 229.1111(h)). The
purpose of the information collected on Form ABS-EE is to implement the
disclosure requirements of Section 7(c) of the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77g(c)) to provide information regarding the use of
representations and warranties in the asset-backed securities markets.
We estimate that approximately 13,374 securitizers will file Form ABS-
EE annually at estimated 170,089 burden hours per response. In
addition, we estimate that 25% of the 50.87152 hours per response
(12.71788 hours) is carried internally by the securitizers for a total
annual reporting burden of 170,089 hours (12.71788 hours per response x
13,374 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry
entitled ``Questions and Answers on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI
Act.'' The Q&A format is intended to inform prospective applicants and
facilitate the development of proposed biosimilars and proposed
interchangeable biosimilars, as well as to describe FDA's
interpretation of certain statutory requirements added by the BPCI Act.
    The BPCI Act amended the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and
other statutes to create an abbreviated licensure pathway in section
351(k) of the PHS Act for biological products shown to be biosimilar
to, or interchangeable with, an FDA-licensed biological reference
product (see sections 7001 through 7003 of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148)). FDA believes that guidance for
industry that provides answers to commonly asked questions regarding
FDA's interpretation of the BPCI Act will enhance transparency and
facilitate the development and approval of biosimilar and
interchangeable products. FDA intends to update this guidance document
to include additional Q&As as appropriate.
    This final guidance document is a companion to the draft guidance
document entitled ``New and Revised Draft Q&As on Biosimilar
Development and the BPCI Act (Revision 2).'' In this pair of guidance
documents, FDA issues each Q&A in draft form in the draft guidance
document, receives comments on the draft Q&A, and, as appropriate,
moves the Q&A to this final guidance document, after reviewing comments
and incorporating suggested changes to the Q&A, when appropriate. This
final guidance document contains Q&As that have been through the public
comment process and reflects FDA's current thinking on the topics
described. This guidance document revises the final guidance document
entitled ``Biosimilars: Questions and Answers Regarding Implementation
of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009'' to
clarify and update certain Q&As and to add new Q&As. For certain Q&As,
FDA has updated the Q&A by referring the reader to a separate guidance
document that provides additional information on the topic. In
addition, a Q&A may be withdrawn and removed from the Q&A guidance
documents if, for instance, the issue addressed in the Q&A has been
addressed in a separate FDA guidance document. For example, Q&A I.11
has been withdrawn as the issues addressed in that question are
addressed in the guidance for industry entitled ``Scientific
Considerations in Demonstrating Biosimilarity to a Reference Product.''
    FDA has maintained the original numbering of the Q&As used in the
April 2015 final guidance document (``Biosimilars: Questions and
Answers Regarding Implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and
Innovation Act of 2009'') and May 2015 draft guidance document
(``Biosimilars: Additional Questions and Answers Regarding
Implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of
2009'').

    This guidance finalizes certain Q&As that were included in the
draft guidance issued on May 13, 2015. FDA considered written comments
the Agency received regarding these Q&As, and made changes to the Q&As,
as appropriate. Editorial changes were made primarily for
clarification.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Questions and Answers on Biosimilar
Development and the BPCI Act.'' It does not establish any rights for
any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive
Order 12866.
    FDA is announcing, in a separate document published elsewhere in
this issue of the Federal Register, the availability of the draft
guidance for industry entitled ``New and Revised Draft Q&As on
Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act (Revision 2).''

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 for submission of an
investigational new drug application have been approved under OMB
control number 0910-0014. The collections of information in 21 CFR
314.50 for submission of a new drug application have been approved

    Title: NSPS for the Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1061.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0037.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X, applies to
owners and operators of each phosphate fertilizer production and
storage facility. The provisions of this subpart apply to wet-process
phosphoric acid plants having a design capacity of more than 15 tons of
equivalent phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) feed per
calendar day. The affected facility includes any combination of:
reactors, filters, evaporators, and hot wells. Any facility that
commences construction or modification after October 22, 1974 is
subject to the requirements. Owners and operators must conduct an
initial performance test, record amounts of feed material and storage,
record pressure drop across control devices, and comply with a total
fluoride emission standard. In addition to the monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting requirements listed in the General
Provisions (40 CFR part 60), the phosphate fertilizer industry is
required to meet the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subparts
T, U, V, W, and X to determine if compliance has been achieved.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 46
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Phosphate fertilizer plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 13.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,194.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $437,702, which includes $117,512 in
labor costs, no annualized capital/startup costs and $320,190 in
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the

regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth
rate for respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. Therefore,
the labor hours in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the
respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. There is a minor change to
the cost figures because the previous ICR used a technical labor rate
only. The updated labor categories and associated rates result in an
increase to total labor cost. In addition, the previous ICR rounded to
the nearest $1,000; this ICR presents cost figures which differ by less
than $500 from the previous ICR due to using exact figures instead of
rounding.

Summary of the Application

    1. The Adviser will serve as the investment adviser to the
Subadvised Series pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the
Trust (the

``Advisory Agreement'').\1\ The Adviser will provide the Subadvised
Series with continuous and comprehensive investment management services
subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, each
Subadvised Series' board of trustees (``Board''). The Advisory
Agreement permits the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board, to
delegate to one or more sub-advisers (each, a ``Sub-Adviser'' and
collectively, the ``Sub-Advisers'') the responsibility to provide the
day-to-day portfolio investment management of each Subadvised Series,
subject to the supervision and direction of the Adviser. The primary
responsibility for managing the Subadvised Series will remain vested in
the Adviser. The Adviser will hire, evaluate, allocate assets to and
oversee the Sub-Advisers, including determining whether a Sub-Adviser
should be terminated, at all times subject to the authority of the
Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants request relief with respect to any existing and
any future series of the Trust and any other registered open-end
management company or series thereof that: (a) Is advised by Brinker
or its successor or by a person controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with Brinker or its successor (each, also an
``Adviser''); (b) uses the manager of managers structure described
in the application; and (c) complies with the terms and conditions
of the application (each, a ``Subadvised Series'' and collectively,
the ``Subadvised Series''). For purposes of the requested order,
``successor'' is limited to an entity that results from a
reorganization into another jurisdiction or a change in the type of
business organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Applicants request an exemption to permit the Adviser, subject
to Board approval, to hire certain Sub-Advisers pursuant to Sub-
Advisory Agreements and materially amend existing Sub-Advisory
Agreements without obtaining the shareholder approval required under
section 15(a) of the Act and rule 18f-2 under the Act.\2\ Applicants
also seek an exemption from the Disclosure Requirements to permit a
Subadvised Series to disclose (as both a dollar amount and a percentage
of the Subadvised Series' net assets): (a) The aggregate fees paid to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Sub-Adviser; and (b) the aggregate fees
paid to Sub-Advisers other than Affiliated Sub-Advisers (collectively,
``Aggregate Fee Disclosure''). For any Subadvised Series that employs
an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Subadvised Series will provide separate
disclosure of any fees paid to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The requested relief will not extend to any sub-adviser that
is an affiliated person, as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act,
of a Subadvised Series or the Adviser, other than by reason of
serving as a sub-adviser to one or more of the Subadvised Series
(``Affiliated Sub-Adviser'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief
will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Application.
Such terms and conditions provide for, among other safeguards,
appropriate disclosure to Subadvised Series shareholders and
notification about sub-advisory changes and enhanced Board oversight to
protect the interests of the Subadvised Series' shareholders.
    4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of
persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or
any rule thereunder, if such relief is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
Applicants believe that the requested relief meets this standard
because, as further explained in the Application, the Advisory
Agreements will remain subject to shareholder approval, while the role
of the Sub-Advisers is substantially similar to that of individual
portfolio managers, so that requiring shareholder approval of Sub-
Advisory Agreements would impose unnecessary delays and expenses on the
Subadvised Series. Applicants believe that the requested relief from
the Disclosure Requirements meets this standard because it will improve
the Adviser's ability to negotiate fees paid to the Sub-Advisers that
are more advantageous for the Subadvised Series.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
