    Abstract: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA
revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a
``standardized permit''. The standardized permit is available to
facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste
on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment
buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to
facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a
generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then
store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks,
or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two
components: A uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a
supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency includes
at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of terms and
conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and is
established on a national basis. The Director, at his or her
discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-case
basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms and
conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute
corrective action under section 264.101 (or State equivalent), or
otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners
and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the
supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Private hazardous waste facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
    Estimated number of respondents: 86 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 13,948 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,242,205 (per year), includes $579,727
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.

[Docket Number USCG-2019-0121]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Annual Events in the Captain of the Port Buffalo
Zone

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The legal basis for this proposed rule is the Coast Guard's
authority to establish safety zones: 46 U.S.C. 70034, 70051; 33 CFR
1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; and Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the safety zones in
Sec.  165.939 to ensure accuracy of times, dates, and dimensions for
various triggering and marine events that are expected to be conducted
within the Captain of the Port Buffalo Zone throughout the year. The
purpose of the rulemaking is also to protect vessels and persons from
the specific hazards related to the aforementioned events. These
specific hazards include obstructions in the waterway that may cause
marine casualties; collisions among vessels maneuvering at a high speed
within a channel; the explosive dangers involved in pyrotechnics and
hazardous cargo; and flaming/falling debris into the water that may
cause injuries.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule adds eight new safety zones to Table 165.939
within Sec.  165.939 for annually reoccurring events in the Captain of
the Port Buffalo Zone. These eight zones were approved and published in
the Federal Register as temporary safety zones and were added in order
to protect the public from the safety hazards previously described. A
list of additions are available in the attachments within this Docket.
    The Captain of the Port Buffalo has determined that the safety
zones in this proposed rule are necessary to protect the safety of
vessels and people during annual marine or triggering events in the
Captain of the Port Buffalo zone. Although this proposed rule will be
effective year-round, the safety zones in this proposed rule will be
enforced only immediately before, during, and after events that pose a
hazard to the public and only upon notice by the Captain of the Port
Buffalo.
    The Captain of the Port Buffalo will notify the public that the
zones in this proposal are or will be enforced by all appropriate means
to the affected segments of the public, including publication in the
Federal Register, as practicable, in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7(a).
Such means of notification may also include, but are not limited to,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners or Local Notice to Mariners.
    All persons and vessels must comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Buffalo or his or her designated
representative. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety
zones is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
or her designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his or her
designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16 or at
716-843-9525.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to
reduce regulation and control regulatory costs. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zones. The safety
zones created by this rule will be relatively small and effective only
during the time necessary to protect safety of spectators,
participants, vessels, and property for the listed triggering or marine
events. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone,

and the rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves the
establishment yearly triggering and marine events on and around Lake
Erie. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L[60](a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-98123; File No. SR-CboeEDGX-2023-052]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Its Fee Schedule

August 14, 2023.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on August 1, 2023, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``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

    Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``EDGX'') proposes to
amend its Fee Schedule. The text of the proposed rule change is
provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule, effective August
1, 2023. The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily direct
order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular
venue to be excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More
specifically, the Exchange is only one of 16 options venues to which
market participants may direct their order flow. Based on publicly
available information, no single options exchange has more than 17% of
the market share.\3\ Thus, in such a low-concentrated and highly
competitive market, no single options exchange, including the Exchange,
possesses significant pricing power in the execution of option order
flow. The Exchange believes that the ever-shifting market share among
the exchanges from month to month demonstrates that market participants
can shift order flow or discontinue to reduce use of certain categories
of products, in response to fee changes. Accordingly, competitive
forces constrain the Exchange's transaction fees, and market
participants can readily trade on competing venues if they deem pricing
levels at those other venues to be more favorable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Cboe Global Markets U.S. Options Market Monthly Volume
Summary (July 27, 2023), available at https://markets.cboe.com/us/options/market_statistics/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange assesses fees in connection with orders routed away to
various exchanges. Currently, under the Fee Codes and Associated Fees
section of the Fee Schedule, fee code RP is appended to routed Customer
orders to NYSE American (``AMEX''), BOX Options Exchange (``BOX''),
Nasdaq BX Options (``BX''), Cboe Exchange, Inc. (``Cboe''), ISE
Mercury, LLC (``ISE Mercury'' or ``MERC''), MIAX Options Exchange
(``MIAX'') or Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``PHLX'') (excluding orders in SPY
options) and assesses a charge of $0.25 per contract; fee code RQ is
appended to routed Customer orders in Penny classes to NYSE Arca, Inc
(``ARCA''), Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (``BZX Options''), Cboe C2
Exchange, Inc. (``C2''), Nasdaq ISE (``ISE''), ISE Gemini, LLC (``ISE
Gemini''), MIAX Emerald Exchange (``MIAX Emerald''), MIAX Pearl
Exchange (``MIAX Pearl''), or Nasdaq Options Market LLC (``NOM'') and
assesses a charge of $0.85 per contract; and fee code RR is appended to
routed Customer orders in Non-Penny classes to ARCA, BZX Options, C2,
ISE, ISE Gemini, MIAX Emerald, MIAX Pearl or NOM and assesses a charge
of $1.25.
    The Exchange notes that its current approach to routing fees is to
set forth in a simple manner certain sub-categories of fees that
approximate the cost of routing to other options exchanges based on the
cost of transaction fees assessed by each venue as well as costs to the
Exchange for routing (i.e., clearing fees, connectivity and other
infrastructure costs, membership fees, etc.) (collectively, ``Routing
Costs''). The Exchange then monitors the fees charged as compared to
the costs of its routing services and adjusts its routing fees and/or
sub-categories to ensure that the Exchange's fees do indeed result in a
rough approximation of overall Routing Costs, and are not significantly
higher or lower in any area. The Exchange notes that other options
exchanges currently assess routing fees in a similar manner as the

Exchange's current approach to assessing approximate routing fees.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See e.g., MIAX Options Exchange Fee Schedule, Section 1(c),
``Fees for Customer Orders Routed to Another Options Exchange.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend fee code RP to exclude applicable
Customer orders routed to ISE Mercury (i.e., MERC) \5\ and to amend fee
codes RQ and RR to add applicable Customer orders routed to MERC.\6\
The Exchange further proposes to amend fee codes RQ and RR to add
applicable Customer orders routed to MEMX LLC (``MEMX''), in
anticipation of the launch of the new options exchange. The charges
assessed per contract for each fee code remain the same under the
proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange also proposes non-substantive changes to fee
code RP to rename ``BX Options'' to ``BX'' and ``BZX Options'' to
``BZX.''
    \6\ The Exchange proposes non-substantive changes to fee code RQ
to rename ``ISE Gemini'' to ``GMNI'', ``MIAX Emerald'' to ``EMLD'',
and ``MIAX Pearl'' to ``PERL.'' The Exchange further proposes non-
substantive changes to fee code RR to rename ``ISE Gemini'' to
``GMNI'', ``MIAX Emerald'' to ``EMLD'', and ``MIAX Pearl'' to
``PERL.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed changes result in an assessment of fees that,
following fee changes by an away options exchange and in anticipation
of the launch of another options exchange, is more in line with the
Exchange's current approach to routing fees, that is, in a manner that
approximates the cost of routing Customer orders to other away options
exchanges, based on the general cost of transaction fees assessed by
the sub-category of away options exchanges for such orders (as well as
the Exchange's Routing Costs).\7\ The Exchange notes that routing
through the Exchange is optional and that TPHs will continue to be able
to choose where to route applicable Customer orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 97800 (June 26,
2023), 88 FR 42409 (June 30, 2023) (SR-MRX-2023-11).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \10\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers. The Exchange also believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\11\ which
requires that Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit
Holders and other persons using its facilities.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \10\ Id.
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change to amend fee codes
RP, RQ, and RR to account for MERC's current assessment of fees for
Customer orders and MEMX's expected assessment of fees for Customer
orders is reasonable because it is reasonably designed to assess
routing fees in line with the Exchange's current approach to routing
fees. That is, the proposed rule change is intended to include Customer
orders in Penny Program and Non-Penny classes routed to MERC and MEMX
in the most appropriate sub-category of fees that approximates the cost
of routing to a group of away options exchanges based on the cost of
transaction fees assessed by each venue as well as Routing Costs to the
Exchange.
    As described above, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. The proposed rule change
reflects a competitive pricing structure designed to incentivize market
participants to direct their order flow to the Exchange, which the
Exchange believes would enhance market quality to the benefit of all
Members. The Exchange notes that other options exchanges currently
approximate routing fees in a similar manner as the Exchange's current
approach.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because all Members' Customer
orders in Penny Program and Non-Penny classes routed to MERC and MEMX
will automatically yield fee codes RQ or RR, respectively, and
uniformly be assessed the corresponding fee.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change to amend fee codes RP, RQ, and RR will
impose any burden on intramarket competition. All Members' Customer
orders routing to MERC and currently yielding fee code RP will yield
fee code RQ or RR (depending on whether the order is in Penny Program
or Non-Penny classes, respectively) and will automatically and
uniformly be assessed the current fees already in place for such routed
orders, as applicable. Likewise, all Members' Customer orders routed to
MEMX will automatically yield fee code RQ or RR (depending on whether
the order is in Penny Program or Non-Penny classes, respectively) and
uniformly be assessed the corresponding fee. The Exchange notes that
other options exchange approximate routing costs in a similar manner as
the Exchange's current approach.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange
notes that other options exchange approximate routing costs in a
similar manner as the Exchange's current approach.\14\ Also, as
previously discussed, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive
market. Members have numerous alternative venues that they may
participate on and director their order flow, including 15 other
options exchanges and off-exchange venues. Additionally, the Exchange
represents a small percentage of the overall market. Based on publicly
available information, no single options exchange has more than 17% of
the market share.\15\ Therefore, no exchange possesses significant
pricing power in the execution of option order flow. Indeed,
participants can readily choose to send their orders to other exchange
and off-exchange venues if they deem fee levels at those other venues
to be more favorable. Moreover, the Commission has repeatedly expressed
its preference for competition over regulatory intervention in
determining prices, products, and services in the

securities markets. Specifically, in Regulation NMS, the Commission
highlighted the importance of market forces in determining prices and
SRO revenues and, also, recognized that current regulation of the
market system ``has been remarkably successful in promoting market
competition in its broader forms that are most important to investors
and listed companies.'' \16\ The fact that this market is competitive
has also long been recognized by the courts. In NetCoalition v.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit stated as follows:
``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . .
As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and
sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-
routing agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders
for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly,
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker
dealers'. . . .''.\17\ Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe its
proposed fee change imposes any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

proposed rule change.

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

takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.

Guidance for Industry: Controlled Correspondence Related to Generic
Drug Development

OMB Control Number 0910-0797--Extension

    FDA has agreed to specific program enhancements and performance
goals specified in the Generic Drug User Fee Act Reauthorization (GDUFA
II) Commitment Letter. One of the performance goals applies to
controlled correspondence related to generic drug development. The
GDUFA II Commitment Letter includes details on FDA's commitment to
respond to questions submitted as controlled correspondence within
certain timeframes. To support these program goals, we have developed
the guidance entitled ``Controlled Correspondence Related to Generic
Drug Development.'' The guidance is intended to facilitate FDA's prompt
consideration of controlled correspondence and to assist in meeting the
prescribed timeframes by providing procedural recommendations to
include the following information in the inquiry: (1) Name, title,
address, phone number, and entity of the person submitting the inquiry;
(2) a letter of authorization, if applicable; (3) the FDA-assigned
control number and submission date of any previous, related controlled
correspondence that was accepted for substantial review and response,
if any, as well as a copy of that previous controlled correspondence
and FDA's response, if any; (4) the relevant reference listed drug(s),
as applicable, including the application number, proprietary (brand)
name, manufacturer, active ingredient, dosage form, and strength(s);
(5) a statement that the controlled correspondence is related to a
potential abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) submission to the
Office of Generic Drugs and the ANDA number, if applicable; (6) a
concise statement of the inquiry; (7) a recommendation of the
appropriate FDA review discipline; and (8) relevant prior research and
supporting materials.
    The GDUFA II Commitment Letter also includes details on FDA's
commitment to respond to requests to clarify ambiguities in FDA's
controlled correspondence response within certain timeframes. To
facilitate FDA's prompt consideration of the request and to assist in
meeting the prescribed timeframes, the guidance recommends including
the following information in the inquiry: (1) Name, title, address,
phone number, and entity of the person submitting the inquiry; (2) a
letter of authorization, if applicable; (3) the FDA-assigned control
number, submission date of the controlled correspondence on which the
requestor is seeking clarification, a copy of that previous controlled
correspondence, and FDA's response to the controlled correspondence;
and (4) the clarifying questions and the corresponding section(s) of
FDA's controlled correspondence response on which the requestor is
seeking clarification. This information collection supports this Agency
guidance.
    We estimate the burden of the information collection as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    This is the first extension of the information collection and we
base our estimate on a review of Agency data of fiscal year submissions
for 2014, 2015, and 2016 which reflects an increase in submissions that
we attribute to an increase in generic drug development. Accordingly,
we estimate 390 generic drug manufacturers and related industry (e.g.,
contract research organizations conducting bioanalytical or
bioequivalence clinical trials) or their representatives will each
submit an average of 3.8 inquiries annually for a total of 1,496
inquiries [1,496 / 390 = 3.8]. Information submitted with each inquiry
varies widely in content, depending on the complexity of the request.
Inquiries that are defined as controlled correspondence may range from
a simple inquiry on generic drug labeling to a more complex inquiry for
a formulation assessment for a specific proposed generic drug product.
As a result, these inquiries can vary between 1 and 10 burden hours.
    Because the content of inquiries considered controlled
correspondence is widely varied, we are providing an average burden
hour for each inquiry. We estimate that it will take an average of 5
hours per inquiry for industry to gather necessary information, prepare
the request, and submit the request to FDA. As a result, we estimate
that it will take an average of 7,480 total hours annually for industry
to prepare and submit inquiries considered controlled correspondence.

    Dated: May 16, 2018.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2232-566]

Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment

February 3, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) regarding Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC's
(Duke), licensee for the Catawba-Wateree Project, request for approval
of an agreement between the Town of Mooresville, North Carolina
(Mooresville) and Duke, authorizing Mooresville to operate and maintain
expanded water intake facilities and withdraw water from Lake Norman.
The Catawba-Wateree Project (FERC No. 2232) is located on the Catawba
and Wateree Rivers, in nine counties in North Carolina and five
counties in South Carolina. Lake Norman is the fifth reservoir in the
series of reservoirs used by the project, and is located on the Catawba
River.
    In its application, Duke proposes to grant an expansion of
Mooresville's water intake facilities and increase Mooresville's water
withdrawal rate from Lake Norman. The existing water intake structure
would be expanded by connecting a new pipe to the existing water intake
structure and the existing pumping plant located on Mooresville-owned
property within the project boundary. Mooresville has requested that
the expanded facility have a gross maximum allowable water withdrawal
rate of 18 million gallons per day (MGD), a 6 MGD increase from the
current approved maximum withdrawal rate of 12 MGD, as approved by the
Commission on August 23, 2005. The water intake and pump facility are
located in Iredell County, North Carolina.
    The EA is attached to a Commission order titled, ``Order Modifying
and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was
issued February 3, 2010, and is available for review at the
Commission's Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

II. Background

    On June 18, 2018, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision
to renew exemptions for 3 individuals from the hearing standard in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(11) to operate a CMV in interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (83 FR 28319). The public comment period ended
on July 18, 2018, and no comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to driver a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.
    49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) was adopted in 1970, with a revision in 1971
to allow drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a
hearing aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3,
1971).

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 3 renewal exemption applications,
FMCSA announces its' decision to exempt the following drivers from the
hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41 (b)(11):
    As of May 18, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
the following 3 individuals have satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement in the FMCSRs for
interstate CMV drivers (83 FR 28319).
    Tom Buretz, (FL); James Dalrymple, (AZ); and Derron Washington,
(IL).
    The drivers were included in docket number FMCSA-2015-0328. Their
exemptions are applicable as of May 18, 2018, and will expire on May18,
2020.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315, each exemption will be valid
for two years from the effective date unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if the following occurs: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
prior to being granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and
31315.

    Issued on: August 30, 2018.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Extend the
Current Pilot Program Related to Phlx Rule 3312

October 18, 2019.
    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 October 16, 2019, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II, below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend the current pilot program related
to Phlx Rule 3312, Clearly Erroneous Transactions six months, to the
close of business on April 20, 2020.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqphlx.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 the proposed rule change is to extend the current
pilot program related to Rule 3312, Clearly Erroneous Transactions, to
the close of business on April 20, 2020. This change is being proposed
to allow the Exchange to further consider a permanent proposal for
clearly erroneous execution reviews.
    On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, on a pilot basis,
changes to Rule 3312 that, among other things: (i) Provided for uniform
treatment of clearly erroneous[thinsp]execution reviews in multi-stock
events involving twenty or more securities; and (ii) reduced the
ability of the Exchange to deviate from the objective standards set
forth in the rule.\3\ Following this, on September 30, 2010, the
Exchange adopted changes to conform its Rule 3312 to Nasdaq's and BX's
rules 11890.\4\ In 2013, the Exchange adopted a provision designed to
address the operation of the Plan.\5\ Finally, in 2014, the Exchange
adopted two additional provisions providing that: (i) A series of
transactions in a particular security on one or more trading days may
be viewed as one event if all such transactions were effected based on
the same fundamentally incorrect or grossly misinterpreted issuance
information resulting in a severe valuation error for all such
transactions; and (ii) in the event of any disruption or malfunction in
the operation of the electronic communications and trading facilities
of an Exchange, another SRO, or responsible single plan processor in
connection with the transmittal or receipt of a trading halt, an
Officer, acting on his or her own motion, shall nullify any transaction
that occurs after a trading halt has been declared by the primary
listing market for a security and before such trading halt has
officially ended according to the primary listing market.\6\ These
changes are currently

scheduled to operate for a pilot period that concludes on October 18,
2019.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62886 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010) (SR-NASDAQ-2010-076).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63023 (September 30,
2010), 75 FR 61802 (October 6, 2010) (SR-Phlx-2010-125).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68820 (February 1,
2013), 78 FR 9436 (February 8, 2013) (SR-Phlx-2013-12).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72434 (June 19,
2014), 79 FR 36110 (June 25, 2014) (SR-Phlx-2014-27).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 85632 (April 11,
2019), 84 FR 16057 (April 17, 2019) (SR-Phlx-2019-14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the pilot period is not either extended, replaced or approved as
permanent, the prior versions of paragraphs (a)(2)(C), (c)(1), (b)(i),
and (b)(ii) shall be in effect, and the provisions of paragraphs (g)
through (i) shall be null and void.\8\ In such an event, the remaining
sections of Rule 3312 would continue to apply to all transactions
executed on the Exchange. The Exchange understands that the other
national securities exchanges and Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (``FINRA'') will also file similar proposals to extend their
respective clearly erroneous execution pilot programs, the substance of
which are identical to Rule 3312.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See notes 3-7, supra. The prior versions of paragraphs
(a)(2)(C), (c)(1), (b)(i), and (b)(ii) generally provided greater
discretion to the Exchange with respect to breaking erroneous
trades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not propose any additional changes to Rule 3312.
The Exchange believes the benefits to market participants from the more
objective clearly erroneous executions rule should continue on a
limited six month pilot basis after the current expiration date to
allow the Exchange to continue to assess whether additional changes
should also be made to the operation of the clearly erroneous execution
rules. Extending the effectiveness of Rule 3312 for an additional six
months should provide the Exchange, other national securities exchanges
and FINRA additional time to consider further amendments to the clearly
erroneous execution rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, in that it is designed to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest
and not to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change promotes just
and equitable principles of trade in that it promotes transparency and
uniformity across markets concerning review of transactions as clearly
erroneous. The Exchange believes that extending the clearly erroneous
execution pilot under Rule 3312 for an additional six months would help
assure that the determination of whether a clearly erroneous trade has
occurred will be based on clear and objective criteria, and that the
resolution of the incident will occur promptly through a transparent
process. The proposed rule change would also help assure consistent
results in handling erroneous trades across the U.S. equities markets,
thus furthering fair and orderly markets, the protection of investors
and the public interest. Based on the foregoing, the Exchange believes
the amended Clearly Erroneous Transactions rule should continue to be
in effect on a pilot basis while the Exchange, other national
securities exchanges and FINRA consider a permanent proposal for
clearly erroneous execution reviews.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal would ensure
the continued, uninterrupted operation of harmonized clearly erroneous
execution rules across the U.S. equities markets while the Exchange,
other national securities exchanges and FINRA consider further
amendments to these rules. The Exchange understands that the other
national securities exchanges and FINRA will also file similar
proposals to extend their respective clearly erroneous execution pilot
programs. Thus, the proposed rule change will help to ensure
consistency across market centers without implicating any competitive
issues.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \13\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become effective and operative immediately upon filing.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, as
it will allow the current clearly erroneous execution pilot program to
continue uninterrupted, without any changes, while the Exchange and the
other national securities exchanges consider a permanent proposal for
clearly erroneous execution reviews. For this reason, the Commission
hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed
rule change as operative upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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.
