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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend certain rule text within General 2,
Organization and Administration. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
amend The Nasdaq Options Market LLC (``NOM'') rules at Options 1,
General Provisions; Options 4A, Options Index Rules; and Options 10,
Doing Business with the Public.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/nasdaq/rules, 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 Exchange proposes to amend the description of the term ``Short
Term Option Series'' within NOM Options 1, Section 1, Definitions, to
conform the term to Nasdaq ISE, LLC's (``ISE'') term of Short Term
Option Series which was recently amended.\3\ The Exchange also proposes
to amend certain rule text within NOM Options 4A, Section 12, Terms of
Index Options Contracts, related to the Short Term Option Series
Program. Finally, the Exchange propose certain other non-substantive
amendments. Each change is described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 96281 (November 9,
2022), 87 FR 68769 (November 16, 2022) (SR-ISE-2022-18) (Order
Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change to Amend the Short Term
Option Series Program).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Short Term Option Series
    Options 1, Section 1(a)(57) describes the term ``Short Term Option
Series'' as follows:

    The term ``Short Term Option Series'' means a series in an
option class that is approved for listing and trading on the
Exchange in which the series is opened for trading on any Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is a business day and
that expires on the Monday, Wednesday or Friday of the next business
week, or, in the case of a series that is listed on a Friday and
expires on a Monday, is listed one business week and one business
day prior to that expiration. If a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday is not a business day, the series may be opened (or shall
expire) on the first business day immediately prior to that Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, respectively. For a series listed
pursuant to this section for Monday expiration, if a Monday is not a
business day, the series shall expire on the first business day
immediately following that Monday.

    ISE's Options 4 rules were recently amended to expand the Short
Term Option Series program to permit the listing and trading of options
series with Tuesday and Thursday expirations for options on SPY and QQQ
listed pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program.\4\ In
conjunction with that change, ISE amended its definition of Short Term
Option Series, within Options 1, Section 1(a)(49), to accommodate the
listing of options series that expire on Tuesdays and Thursdays.\5\
Specifically, the Exchange added Tuesday and Thursday to the permitted
expiration days, which currently include Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
that it may open for trading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See note 3 above. NOM's Options 4 Rules are incorporated by
reference to ISE's Options 4 Rules.
    \5\ See note 3 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At this time, the Exchange proposes to amend the term ``Short Term
Option Series'' at Options 1, Section 1(a)(57) to provide,

    The term ``Short Term Option Series'' means a series in an
option class that is approved for listing and trading on the
Exchange in which the series is opened for trading on any Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is a business day and
that expires on the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday
of the next business week, or, in the case of a series that is
listed on a Friday and expires on a Monday, is listed one business
week and one business day prior to that expiration. If a Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday is not a business day, the series may
be opened (or shall expire) on the first business day immediately
prior to that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, respectively.
For a series listed pursuant to this section for Monday expiration,
if a Monday is not a business day, the series shall expire on the
first business day immediately following that Monday.

    Today, NOM's listing rules permit the listing and trading of
options series with Tuesday and Thursday expirations for options on SPY
and QQQ listed

pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ NOM's Options 4 Rules are incorporated by reference to ISE's
Options 4 Rules and therefore the approval of ISE's Options 4 rules
permit the listing and trading of options series with Tuesday and
Thursday expirations for options on SPY and QQQ on NOM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Options 4A, Section 12
    In 2014, NOM amended the Short Term Option Series Program for
equity options within Chapter IV, Section 6 (currently Options 4,
Section 5) to change the number of currently listed option classes on
which Short Term Option Series may be opened on any Short Term Option
Opening Date from thirty to fifty options classes.\7\ Further, NOM also
amended the number of Short Term Option Series that the Exchange may
open for each expiration date in that class from twenty to thirty.\8\
At that time, the Exchange neglected to update the index options rules
to make similar changes to the Short Term Option Series Program given
that the amount of options classes that may participate in the Short
Term Option Series Program is aggregated between equity options and
index options and is not apportioned between equity and index options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 72699 (July 29,
2014), 79 FR 45506 (August 5, 2014) (SR-NASDAQ-2014-074) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating
to Short Term Option Series).
    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, Options 4A, Section 12(h)(1)(A) provides,

    The Exchange may select up to thirty (30) currently listed
option classes on which Short Term Option Series may be opened on
any Short Term Option Opening Date. In addition to the 30 option
class restriction, the Exchange may also list Short Term Option
Series on any option classes that are selected by other securities
exchanges that employ a similar program under their respective
rules. For each index option class eligible for participation in the
Short Term Option Series Program, the Exchange may open up to 30
Short Term Option Series on index options for each expiration date
in that class. The Exchange may also open Short Term Option Series
that are opened by other securities exchanges in option classes
selected by such exchanges under their respective short term option
rules.

    At this time, the Exchange proposes to amend Options 4A, Section
12(h)(1)(A) to increase the number of currently listed options classes
on which Short Term Option Series may be opened on any Short Term
Option Opening Date from thirty to fifty options classes for index
options. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to amend the number of
Short Term Option Series the Exchange may open on index options for
each expiration date in that class from twenty to thirty. These
amendments would align the limitations within Options 4A, Section
12(h)(1)(A) with those currently within Supplementary .03 to Options 4,
Section 5. The Exchange also proposes to add certain titles before
Options 4A, Section 12(h)(1)(A)-(E) to indicate the subject matter of
the paragraphs. Those non-substantive amendments are intended to bring
clarity to the rule text.
    As noted above, this amendment will not result in a greater number
of listings in the Short Term Option Series Program because the amount
of options classes that may participate in the Short Term Option Series
Program is aggregated between equity options and index options and is
not apportioned between equity and index options. Amending Options 4A,
Section 12(h)(1)(A) to conform to the limitations provided within
Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section 5 will avoid confusion by
making clear the aggregate limitations within equity and index options
for listing Short Term Option Series. Today, ISE, Nasdaq Phlx LLC
(``Phlx'') and Cboe Exchange, Inc. (``Cboe'') have similar limitations
within their equity and index Short Term Option Series Program.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See ISE and Phlx Options 4A, Section 12(b)(4) and Cboe
Exchange, Inc. Rules 4.5 and 4.13. See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 95077 (June 9, 2022), 87 FR 36188 (June 15, 2022)
(Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend Options 4A, Section 12, Terms of Index Options
Contracts).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Non-Substantive Amendments
    The Exchange proposes to make other amendments to reserve certain
sections of the Rulebook. These sections contain content in other
Nasdaq affiliated rulebooks. To harmonize the section numbers across
the Nasdaq affiliated markets, the Exchange proposes to reserve General
2, Sections 23 and 24 as well as Options 10, Sections 26 and 27. These
amendments are non-substantive.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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.

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

Short Term Option Series
    The Exchange's proposal to amend the term ``Short Term Option
Series'' at Options 1, Section 1(a)(57) to reflect the recent change
\12\ to NOM's listing rules to permit the listing and trading of
options series with Tuesday and Thursday expirations for options on SPY
and QQQ listed pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program is
consistent with the Exchange Act. This proposal will align the
description of Short Term Option Series within Options 1, Section
1(a)(57) to the expirations permitted within the Short Term Option
Series Program within Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See note 3 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Options 4A, Section 12
    In 2014, NOM amended the Short Term Option Series Program for
equity options within Chapter IV, Section 6 (currently Options 4,
Section 5) to change the number of currently listed option classes on
which Short Term Option Series may be opened on any Short Term Option
Opening Date from thirty to fifty options classes.\13\ Further, NOM
also amended the number of Short Term Option Series that the Exchange
may open for each expiration date in that class from twenty to
thirty.\14\ At that time, the Exchange neglected to update the index
options rules to make similar changes to the Short Term Option Series
Program given that the amount of options classes that may participate
in the Short Term Option Series Program is aggregated between equity
options and index options and is not apportioned between equity and
index options. Amending Options 4A, Section 12(h)(1)(A) to conform to
the limitations provided within Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section
5 will avoid confusion by making clear the aggregate limitations within
equity and index options for listing Short Term Option Series. Also,
aligning the limitations within Options 4A, Section 12(h)(1)(A) with
those currently within Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section 5 will
not result in a greater number of listings in the Short Term Option
Series Program because the amount of options classes that may
participate in the Short Term Option Series Program is aggregated
between equity options and index options and is not apportioned between
equity and index options. Today, ISE, Phlx and Cboe have similar
limitations within their equity and

index Short Term Option Series Program.\15\

    \13\ See note 6 above.
    \14\ See note 6 above.
    \15\ See note 8 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Non-Substantive Amendments
    The Exchange's proposal to make other amendments to reserve certain
sections of the Rulebook, namely General 2, Sections 23 and 24 as well
as Options 10, Sections 26 and 27, to harmonize section numbers across
the Nasdaq affiliated markets are non-substantive.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.
Short Term Option Series
    The Exchange's proposal to amend the term ``Short Term Option
Series'' at Options 1, Section 1(a)(57) to reflect the recent change
\16\ to NOM's listing rules to permit the listing and trading of
options series with Tuesday and Thursday expirations for options on SPY
and QQQ listed pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program does
not impose an undue burden on competition, rather this proposal will
align the description of Short Term Option Series within Options 1,
Section 1(a)(57) to the expirations permitted within the Short Term
Option Series Program within Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See note 3 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Options 4A, Section 12
    Amending Options 4A, Section 12(h)(1)(A) to conform to the
limitations provided within Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section 5
will avoid confusion by making clear the aggregate limitations within
equity and index options for listing Short Term Option Series. Also,
aligning the limitations within Options 4A, Section 12(h)(1)(A) with
those currently within Supplementary .03 to Options 4, Section 5 will
not result in a greater number of listings in the Short Term Option
Series Program because the amount of options classes that may
participate in the Short Term Option Series Program is aggregated
between equity options and index options and is not apportioned between
equity and index options. Today, ISE, Phlx and Cboe has similar
limitations within its equity and index Short Term Option Series
Program.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See note 8 above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Non-Substantive Amendments
    The Exchange's proposal to make other amendments to reserve certain
sections of the Rulebook, namely General 2, Sections 23 and 24 as well
as Options 10, Sections 26 and 27, to harmonize section numbers across
the Nasdaq affiliated markets are non-substantive.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \18\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\19\
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 \20\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of
Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\21\ The Exchange has stated that the Options 4
listing rules were recently amended to expand the Short Term Option
Series program to permit the listing and trading of options series with
Tuesday and Thursday expirations for options on SPY and QQQ listed
pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program,\22\ and that waiver
of the 30-day operative delay will allow the Exchange to conform the
definition of a Short Term Option Series to the Options 4 listing
rules. The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest because the proposed rule change does not raise any new or
novel issues. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the operative
delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon
filing.\23\

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \21\ 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.
    \22\ See supra note 4.
    \23\ 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 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2008-32R2, dated November 17, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    There have been various reported incidents of throttle jam and
engine shutdowns, caused by premature wear of the rack and pinion
mechanism of part number (P/N) 2100140-005 and -007 Engine Throttle
Control Gearbox (ETCG), installed on Bombardier CL-601 and 604
aircraft.
    Bombardier issued service bulletins (SB) 601-0583 (CL601/601-3A,
-3R) and 604-76-004 (CL 604), introducing periodic inspection of the
affected ETCG rack and pinion mechanisms for wear.
    Subject inspection requirement tasks have now been incorporated
into the applicable CL601 and CL604 Time Limits Maintenance Checks
(TLMCs) through Temporary Revisions (TR), TR 5-236 (for CL601), TR
5-236 (for CL601-3A & -3R) and TR 5-2-40 (for CL604).

The required action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section
of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new
repetitive functional tests of the ETCG. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Temporary Revision 5-236, dated July 25,
2008, to Section 5-10-30 of Chapter 5 of the Canadair Challenger Time
Limits/Maintenance Checks, PSP 601-5; Temporary Revision 5-2-40, dated
July 28, 2008, to Section 5-10-40 of Chapter 5 of the Canadair
Challenger CL-604 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks; and Temporary
Revision 5-236, dated March 22, 2007, to Section 5-10-30 of Chapter 5
of the Canadair Challenger Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, PSP 601A-5.
The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 377 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 1 work-hour per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $30,160, or $80 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2009-0565;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-217-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by July 23, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Bombardier Model CL-600-2A12 (CL-601)
and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604) airplanes,
certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 76: Engine
controls.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    There have been various reported incidents of throttle jam and
engine shutdowns, caused by premature wear of the rack and pinion
mechanism of part number (P/N) 2100140-005 and -007 Engine Throttle
Control Gearbox (ETCG), installed on Bombardier CL-601 and 604
aircraft.
    Bombardier issued service bulletins (SB) 601-0583 (CL601/601-3A,
-3R) and 604-76-004 (CL 604), introducing periodic inspection of the
affected ETCG rack and pinion mechanisms for wear.
    Subject inspection requirement tasks have now been incorporated
into the applicable CL601 and CL604 Time Limits Maintenance Checks
(TLMCs) through Temporary Revisions (TR), TR 5-236 (for CL601), TR
5-236 (for CL601-3A & -3R) ant TR 5-2-40 (for CL604).
The required action is revising the Airworthiness Limitations
Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to
incorporate new repetitive functional tests of the ETCG.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD: Revise
the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness by incorporating the applicable task in the
TR listed in Table 1 of this AD.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[FMCSA-2013-0171]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of denials.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its denial of 91 applications from individuals
who requested an exemption from the Federal vision standard applicable
to interstate truck and bus drivers and the reasons for the denials.
FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from the vision
requirement if the exemptions will provide a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level of safety maintained without
the exemptions. The Agency has concluded that granting these
individuals an exemption would not achieve the required level of
safety.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elaine M. Papp, Chief, Medical
Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER>, U.S. Department of Transportation,
FMCSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64-224, Washington, DC 20590-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal vision standard for a renewable 2-year period if it
finds ``such an exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that
is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved
absent such an exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption
are set forth in 49 CFR part 381.
    Accordingly, FMCSA evaluated 91 individual exemption requests on
their merit and made a determination that these applicants do not
satisfy the criteria eligibility or meet the terms and conditions of
the Federal exemption program. Each applicant has, prior to this
notice, received a letter of final disposition on the exemption
request. Those decision letters fully outlined the basis for the denial

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Section 1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, requires
PHMSA to provide interested members of the public and affected agencies
an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping
requests. This notice identifies an information collection request that
PHMSA will be submitting to OMB for approval.

B. Gas Distribution Annual Report

    PHMSA intends to revise the gas distribution annual report (PHMSA F
7100.1-1, gas distribution annual report) to improve the granularity of
the data collected. Background for these topics is as follows:

Specify Commodity

    We have added a section for operators to specify the commodity type
transported, similar to the gas transmission and hazardous liquid
reporting forms. These commodity groups include ``Natural Gas,''
``Synthetic Gas,'' ``Hydrogen Gas,'' ``Propane Gas,'' ``Landfill Gas,''
and ``Other Gas.'' Operators will select a commodity group based on the
predominant gas carried and complete the report for that commodity
group. If ``Other Gas'' is selected, operators will need to provide the
name of the other gas. Operators will need to file a separate report
for each commodity group included in a specific Operator Identification
number.

Specify Operator Type

    We have added a section to the report for submitters to identify
the operator type. The operator type groups include ``Municipal,''
``Privately Owned,'' and ``Other'' (e.g., cooperatives, public utility
districts).
    Additional Material Type: We are adding ``Reconditioned Cast Iron''
as a pipe material and defining it as a cast iron gas distribution pipe
that has been lined internally by use of suitable materials that ensure
safe operation at a MAOP not to exceed the previously established MAOP.
``Reconditioned Cast Iron'' does not include cast iron pipe inserted
with a gas pipe that is, by itself, suitable for gas service under Part
192, (e.g., an ASTM D2513 pipe meeting code requirements for the
intended gas service.) Such insertions are to be reported as the
material used in the insertion. The definition is intended to make a
clear distinction between a liner and inserted pipe. Reconditioning
techniques would not include new, stand-alone polyethylene pipe,
composite pipe, or a tight-fitting liner that does not rely on the
structural integrity of the host pipe (the cavity of the host pipe is
simply used for installation purposes). Other methods, such as pipe-
splitting or bursting that involve the installation of a new stand-
alone pipe while the host pipe is destroyed do not result in
``Reconditioned Cast Iron''.

Removal of Requirement To Populate Certain Fields in Part B Tables

    We have removed the requirement to populate certain fields in
Tables B1, B2, and B3 as that data will now be calculated automatically
and populated appropriately from the operator filling in the data for
certain other fields in the tables.

Revision of Leak Cause Categories in Part C

    We have revised the ``Cause of Leak'' categories in Part C to align
the leak causes in the gas distribution annual report with the incident
causes from the gas distribution incident reporting form (PHMSA F
7100.1, Incident Report--Gas Distribution System).

Addition of Excavation Damage Cause Categories in Part D

    We added a new data collection in ``Excavation Damage'' to include
the

four causes from Part I of the ``Damage Information Reporting Tool
(DIRT)--Field Form.'' These cause categories are also aligned with the
fields that must be input when completing Part G4, field number 14 in
the gas distribution incident reporting form.

C. Summary of Impacted Collections

    The following information is provided for that information
collection: (1) Title of the information collection; (2) OMB control
number; (3) Current expiration date; (4) Type of request; (5) Abstract
of the information collection activity; (6) Description of affected
public; (7) Estimate of total annual reporting and recordkeeping
burden; and (8) Frequency of collection. PHMSA is only focusing on the
revisions detailed in this notice and will request revisions to the
following information collection activities. PHMSA requests comments on
the following information collection:
    1. Title: Annual Report for Gas Pipeline Operators.
    OMB Control Number: N/A.
    Current Expiration Date: N/A.
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Abstract: PHMSA is looking to revise the gas distribution annual
report (PHMSA F 7100.1-1) to improve the granularity of the data
collected in several areas.
    Affected Public: Gas distribution pipeline operators.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden:

Total Annual Responses: 1,440.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 23,040.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.

    Comments are invited on:
    (a) The need for the proposed collection of information 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 of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques.
