I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The principal purpose of the proposed rule change is to modify
ICC's fee schedules to implement reduced fees for credit default index
swaptions (``Index Options'') through calendar year 2022. These
revisions do not require any changes to the ICC Clearing Rules.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change,
security-based swap submission, or advance notice and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed rule change, security-based swap
submission, or advance notice. The text of these statements may be
examined at the places specified in Item IV below. ICC has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most
significant aspects of these statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

(a) Purpose
    The proposed changes are intended to modify ICC's fee schedules to
implement reduced fees for Index Options through calendar year 2022.\5\
ICC maintains a Clearing Participant (``CP'') fee schedule \6\ and
client fee schedule \7\ (collectively, the ``fee schedules'') that are
publicly available on its website, which ICC proposes to update.
Clearing fees are due by CPs and clients in accordance with the
product, amount and currency set out in the fee schedules and subject
to any incentive program described in the fee schedules. The proposed
changes to the fee schedules are set forth in Exhibit 5A and Exhibit 5B
and described in detail as follows. ICC proposes to make such changes
effective March 1, 2022 (the ``Effective Date''), subject to the
completion of any applicable regulatory review process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Pursuant to an Index Option, one party (the ``Swaption
Buyer'') has the right (but
     not the obligation) to cause the other party (the ``Swaption
Seller'') to enter into an index credit default swap transaction at
a pre-determined strike price on a specified expiration date on
specified terms. In the case of Index Options that may be cleared by
ICC, the underlying index credit default swap is limited to certain
CDX and iTraxx index credit default swaps that are accepted for
clearing by ICC, and which would be automatically cleared by ICC
upon exercise of the Index Option by the Swaption Buyer in
accordance with its terms.
    \6\ CP fee details available at: https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/clear_credit/ICE_Clear_Credit_Fees_Clearing_Participant.pdf.
    \7\ Client fee details available at: https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/clear_credit/ICE_Clear_Credit_Fees.pdf. As specified, all
fees are charged directly to a client's CP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The amended CP fee schedule would reduce Index Option fees to $1/
million or [euro]1/million through calendar year 2022. Under the
current CP fee schedule, Index Option fees are $3/million or [euro]3/
million, subject to an incentive program that provides a tiered
discount schedule based on U.S. Dollar equivalent, non-discounted Index
Option fees billed since the start of the year. ICC also offered
certain other incentive programs that discounted Index Option fees as
part of the CP fee schedule, which expired at the end of calendar year
2021 and are removed from Exhibit 5A.\8\ Under the proposed changes, in
addition to updating the fee table, ICC would include a footnote to
indicate that the listed fees of $1/million or [euro]1/million are
applicable from the Effective Date through calendar year 2022 and
reflect a discount from ICC's regular Index Option fees of $3/million
or [euro]3/million. On the first business day of 2023, ICC would remove
this discount and the listed fees would revert to ICC's regular Index
Option fees on this schedule dated January 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ A description of these incentive programs is included in
prior filings. SEC Release No. 34-90524 (November 27, 2020)
(notice), 85 FR 78157 (December 3, 2020) (SR-ICC-2020-013); SEC
Release No. 34-91922 (May 18, 2021) (notice), 86 FR 27938 (May 24,
2021) (SR-ICC-2021-014).

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

    The amended client fee schedule would also reduce Index Option fees
to $1/million or [euro]1/million through calendar year 2022. Under the
current client fee schedule, Index Option fees are $4/million or
[euro]4/million. ICC also offered an incentive program that discounted
Index Option fees as part of the client fee schedule, which expired at
the end of calendar year 2021 and is removed from Exhibit 5B.\9\ Under
the proposed changes, in addition to updating the fee table, ICC would
indicate in a footnote that the listed fees of $1/million or [euro]1/
million are applicable from the Effective Date through calendar year
2022 and reflect a discount from ICC's regular Index Option fees of $4/
million or [euro]4/million. On the first business day of 2023, ICC
would remove this discount and the listed fees would revert to ICC's
regular Index Option fees on this schedule dated January 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ A description of this incentive program is included in a
prior filing. SEC Release No. 34-91922 (May 18, 2021) (notice), 86
FR 27938 (May 24, 2021) (SR ICC-2021-014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Statutory Basis
    ICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act, including Section 17A of the Act \10\ and the
regulations thereunder applicable to it. More specifically, the
proposed rule change establishes or changes a member due, fee or other
charge imposed by ICC under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \11\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \12\ thereunder. ICC believes the proposed rule change
is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to ICC, in particular, to Section
17A(b)(3)(D),\13\ which requires that the rules of the clearing agency
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ICC believes that the proposed discounts in the fee schedules have
been set at an appropriate level. In determining the appropriate
discount level, ICC considered factors such as volume, revenue, and
market participation in the clearing service, including based on
different fee levels. ICC also considered costs and expenses in
offering clearing of Index Options, taking into account the investments
that ICC has made in clearing such products and the level of investment
and development needed for this clearing service at this time. In ICC's
view, the fees are reasonable as the discounts correspond with
anticipated volumes, costs and expenses, and revenues, and they
consider current and past market activity as well as anticipated market
activity with respect to clearing Index Options at ICC.\14\
Furthermore, the proposed discounts are in line with past Index Option
incentive programs that ICC offered, which similarly temporarily
reduced Index Option fees without any further action required by CPs or
clients. Under the proposed changes, the same discounted rate would
apply to both CPs and clients. These reduced fees are designed to
incentivize the clearing of Index Options by CPs and clients to grow
this clearing service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Supporting detail and additional data, including clearing
statistics for Index Options is included in confidential Exhibit 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, the proposed fee changes will apply equally to all market
participants clearing Index Options. The reduced fees for Index Options
through calendar year 2022 apply to all CPs and clients. ICC's fee
schedules will continue to be transparent and to apply equally to
market participants clearing indexes, single names, and Index Options
at ICC. Therefore, the proposed rule change provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
participants, within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the
Act.\15\ ICC therefore believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \16\ and the
regulations thereunder applicable to it and is appropriately filed
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and paragraph (f)(2) of
Rule 19b-4 \18\ thereunder.

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICC does not believe the proposed rule change would have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purpose of the Act. As discussed
above, the proposed changes modify ICC's fee schedules to temporarily
reduce fees for Index Options and will apply uniformly across all
market participants. The implementation of such changes does not
preclude other market participants from offering such instruments for
clearing or offering incentive programs. Moreover, ICC does not believe
that the amendments would adversely affect the ability of market
participants to access clearing services. Accordingly, ICC does not
believe the amendments impose any burden on competition not necessary
or appropriate in furtherance of the purpose of the Act.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received. ICC will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by ICC.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \19\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \20\
thereunder. 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.

[Release No. 34-60382; File No. SR-ISE-2009-45]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule
Change by International Securities Exchange, LLC Relating to Changes to
Rule 312 in Connection With the Purchase of Equity Interests by
International Securities Exchange Holdings, Inc. in Optifreeze, LLC

July 24, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Exchange Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is
hereby given that on July 23, 2009, the International Securities
Exchange, LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``ISE'') filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (``Commission'' or ``SEC'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have
been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice
to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange is submitting this proposed rule change (the
``Proposed Rule Change'') to the Commission to amend ISE Rule 312
(Limitation on Affiliation between the Exchange and Members) in
connection with the capital contribution by its parent company,
International Securities Exchange Holdings, Inc. (``ISE Holdings''), in
Optifreeze LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (``Optifreeze'').
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site http://www.ise.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 self-regulatory organization 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
    On June 5, 2009, ISE Holdings entered into a Membership Purchase
Agreement (``Purchase Agreement'') with Optifreeze. Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, ISE Holdings contributed cash to the capital of
Optifreeze in exchange for membership interests representing on the
date of such issuance 8.57% of the aggregate membership interests in
Optifreeze (``Purchased Interests''). ISE Holdings and its subsidiaries
and affiliates do not have any voting or other ``control'' arrangements
with any of the other members of Optifreeze relating to its investment
in Optifreeze. The purchase by ISE Holdings of the Purchased Interests
(the ``Transaction'') was consummated on June 5, 2009. As a result of
such purchase, ISE Holdings became a member of Optifreeze pursuant to
the Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Optifreeze dated
June 5, 2009, and is entitled to appoint one representative to the
Optifreeze Board of Directors. Ballista Securities LLC (``Ballista
Securities''), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Optifreeze, is an
electronic access member (``EAM'') of the Exchange.
    In connection with the capital contribution by ISE Holdings in
Optifreeze, the Exchange proposes to amend ISE Rule 312 (Limitation on
Affiliation between the Exchange and Members) to reflect ISE Holdings'
ownership interest in Ballista Securities, and to set forth certain
limitations and obligations relating to such relationship.

In particular, the Exchange proposes that there be an exemption from
Rule 312 of the Exchange with respect to the investment by ISE Holdings
in Optifreeze. In relevant part, Rule 312 provides that, without prior
SEC approval, the Exchange, or any entity with which the Exchange is
affiliated shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire or maintain an
ownership interest in a member or non-member owner. In addition, the
Rule 312 provides that nothing in that rule shall prohibit a member or
non-member owner from being or becoming an affiliate of the Exchange,
or an affiliate of an affiliate of the Exchange solely by reason of any
officer, director or partner of such member becoming an Exchange
Director (as defined in the Amended and Restated Constitution of the
ISE). As a result of the Transaction, the Exchange, through ISE
Holdings, will maintain an ownership interest in an ISE member,
Ballista Securities, which, without Commission approval, would be
prohibited by Rule 312. The Commission has also has previously noted
its concern regarding (1) the potential for conflicts of interest in
instances where an exchange is affiliated with one of its members, and
(2) the potential for informational advantages that could place an
affiliated member of an exchange at a competitive advantage vis-
[agrave]-vis the other non-affiliated members. The Commission has also
noted its concerns about potential unfair competition and conflicts of
interest between an exchange's self-regulatory obligations and its
commercial interest when the exchange is affiliated with one of its
members. As such, ISE proposes to amend Rule 312 to permit the proposed
relationship subject to several conditions and limitations.
    Accordingly, the Exchange is proposing to adopt subsection (c) to
Rule 312 to require that, for so long as (i) ISE Holdings maintains an
ownership interest in Ballista Securities; and (ii) Ballista Securities
remains a member of the Exchange: (1) Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (``FINRA''), a self-regulatory organization unaffiliated with
the Exchange or any of its affiliates, will carry out oversight and
enforcement responsibilities as the designated examining authority
designated by the Commission pursuant to Rule 17d-1 of the Exchange Act
with the responsibility for examining Ballista Securities for
compliance with applicable financial responsibility rules; (2) the
Exchange shall (a) enter into a plan pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the
Exchange Act with a non-affiliated self-regulatory organization
(``SRO'') to relieve the Exchange of regulatory responsibilities for
Ballista Securities with respect to rules that are common rules between
the Exchange and the SRO, and (b) enter into a regulatory services
contract with a non-affiliated SRO to perform certain regulatory
responsibilities for Ballista Securities for unique Exchange rules; \3\
(3) the regulatory services contract shall require the Exchange to
provide the non-affiliated SRO with information, in an easily
accessible manner, regarding all exception reports, alerts, complaints,
trading errors, cancellations, investigations, and enforcement matters
(collectively, ``Exceptions'') in which Ballista Securities is
identified as a participant that has potentially violated Exchange or
SEC rules, and shall require that the nonaffiliated SRO provide a
report to the Exchange quantifying Exceptions on not less than a
quarterly basis; (4) the Exchange shall establish and maintain
procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to ensure that
Ballista Securities and its affiliates do not have access to nonpublic
information obtained as a result of ISE Holdings' ownership interest in
Ballista Securities, until such information is available generally to
similarly situated members of the Exchange in connection with the
provision of inbound order routing to the Exchange; and (5) the
ownership interest of ISE Holdings, Inc. in Ballista Securities is
subject to the conditions set forth above and is granted on a temporary
basis, for not longer than one year from the date of Commission
approval of this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The non-affiliated SRO will perform certain regulatory
responsibilities for Ballista Securities other than market
surveillance, including, but not limited to, investigative and
disciplinary services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange notes that ISE Holdings owns less than 9%
of the equity in Optifreeze and therefore does not own a controlling
interest in Optifreeze or otherwise have any veto or other special
voting rights with respect to the management or operation of
Optifreeze. The Exchange acknowledges that if the Exchange or any of
its affiliates were to directly or indirectly increase the equity
ownership of Optifreeze, such increase would require prior Commission
approval. The Exchange believes that the foregoing measures and factors
minimize the concerns identified by the Commission regarding potential
conflicts of interest.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Exchange Act,\4\ in general,
and with Sections 6(b)(1) and (b)(5) of the Exchange Act,\5\ in
particular, in that the proposal enables the Exchange to be so
organized as to have the capacity to be able to carry out the purposes
of the Exchange Act and to comply with and enforce compliance by
members and persons associated with members with provisions of the
Exchange Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and SRO rules, and
is 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.
In particular, this rule change will address any potential regulatory
issues that could arise with ISE Holdings' investment in, and providing
capital to, an innovative brokerage operation.

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 Exchange Act.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members, participants or others.

Commission Action

Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (a) By order approve such proposed rule change; or

    (b) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

    Title: Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment
New Source Review (Final Rule for Implementation of the New Source
Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers
(PM2.5)).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1230.21, OMB Control No. 2060-0003.
    ICR Status: This ICR is for a revision to an existing, approved
information collection activity. 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, are 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: The major New Source Review (NSR) program is a
preconstruction review and permitting program for new major sources of
air pollutants and major modifications at existing major sources. The
program is required under parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air
Act. The types of information collection activities associated with the
major NSR program are those necessary for the preparation and submittal
of construction permit applications (by major sources) and the issuance
of final permits (by the State and local regulatory agencies or
``reviewing authorities''). For EPA to carry out its required oversight
function of reviewing construction permits and assuring adequate
implementation of the program, it must have available to it information
on proposed construction and modifications. The major NSR rule changes
addressed in this ICR add PM2.5 and its precursors to the list of
pollutants that must be addressed in a major NSR permit action, but do
not otherwise change the requirements of the program.
    Burden Statement: The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to increase by an average
of 52 hours per major NSR permit over the currently approved level of
668 hours per permit. The annual burden for reviewing authorities to
administer a major NSR program is estimated to increase by an average
of 144 hours over the currently approved level of 1,117 hours per year.
    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: Entities potentially affected by
this action are major sources of air pollutants that emit PM2.5 and
must apply for and obtain a preconstruction permit under the major NSR
program. In addition, State and local air reviewing authorities who
administer the major NSR program are potentially affected entities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 753 major NSR permits per year
obtained by sources; 112 State and local reviewing authorities.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Increase in Annual Hour Burden: The incremental increase
in annual burden estimated to result from the revisions to the major
NSR regulations totals 38,875 hours for sources and 16,107 hours for
reviewing authorities. The currently approved ICR for the entire NSR
program (major and minor) includes 5,851,126 for sources and reviewing
authorities.
    Estimated Increase in Annual Cost: The incremental increase in
annual costs attributable to the major NSR rule revisions is about
$4,268,991 for sources, which includes an estimated labor cost of
$2,546,313 million, an estimated O&M cost of $1,722,678, and no capital
costs.
    The incremental increase in annual costs attributable to the major
NSR rule revisions for reviewing authorities is $701,152 in labor costs
and no capital or O&M costs.

Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers

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

ACTION: Final rule; extension of compliance date.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA extends by one year the compliance date of the
regulations established in the final rule on lease and interchange of
passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) published on May
27, 2015, and effective on July 27, 2015. The new compliance date is
January 1, 2019. The Agency received numerous petitions for
reconsideration of the final rule and extended the original January 1,
2017, compliance date to January 1, 2018, to provide time to address
the issues raised by the petitioners. As a result of a public meeting
with representatives of the passenger carrier industry in October 2016
and further analysis of the petitions for reconsideration, the Agency
is extending the compliance date by an additional twelve months to
allow time to revise the regulations, while ensuring that carriers have
ample time to adjust to the requirements of the revisions. This
decision is explained in more detail in a notice of intent published
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.

DATES:
    Effective date: June 16, 2017 until January 1, 2019.
    Compliance date: The compliance date for the requirements in
subpart F to 49 CFR part 390 (Sec. Sec.  390.301, 390.303, and 390.305)
is extended until January 1, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Loretta G. Bitner,<PHONE_NUMBER>,

office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On May 27, 2015, FMCSA published a final rule entitled ``Lease and
Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers'' (80 FR 30164),
and effective on July 27, 2015. The American Bus Association (ABA) and
the United Motorcoach Association (UMA) filed a joint request to extend
the 30-day deadline to submit petitions for reconsideration. On July 1,
2015, the Agency published a document extending that deadline until
August 25, 2015 (80 FR 37553). The Agency received 37 petitions for
reconsideration, which are filed in the public docket referenced above.
After the initial review of these submissions, FMCSA held a public
meeting on October 28, 2015, with a cross section of the petitioners to
discuss their concerns and to gather additional details about their
specific operations. Attending were representatives of small and large
bus companies and charter and regular-route operators from across the
nation. Two insurance company representatives were also invited and
attended because of liability concerns raised in the petitions for
reconsideration. Based on these discussions, and after further
analysis, FMCSA concluded that some aspects of the petitions for
reconsideration have merit. The Agency, therefore, extended the
compliance date to January 1, 2018, to allay stakeholder concerns that
there would not be sufficient time to adjust passenger carrier
operations before compliance with the regulations was required (81 FR
13998; March 16, 2016). After further review of the petitions, the
Agency announced on August 31, 2016, that it intended to consider
changes to four aspects of the regulations, but it also denied requests
to reconsider other issues raised by petitioners of the rule (81 FR
59951). The August 31 document announced that a public roundtable would
be held to discuss the four issues that could be addressed by
rulemaking. The roundtable was held on October 31, 2016. FMCSA has also
published a document elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register
announcing its intent to revise the regulations established by the 2015
final rule. In order to allow time for completion of those revisions,
while giving motor carriers sufficient time to comply with the revised
requirements, the Agency is extending the compliance date by one year,
to January 1, 2019. The temporary section added to subpart F of 49 CFR
part 390 when the previous extension of the compliance date was issued,
is being updated to include the new compliance date. The temporary
section continues to be in effect only from June 16, 2017 through
January 1, 2019.

II. Regulatory Analyses

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    FMCSA has determined that this action is a non-significant
regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, as supplemented by
Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 18, 2011), and DOT
regulatory policies and procedures (44 FR 1103, February 26, 1979). The
final rule issued in May, 2015, was non-significant; this postponement
of the compliance date does not change that designation. This rule has
not been reviewed formally by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L.
104-121, 110 Stat. 857, March 29, 1996) and the Small Business Jobs Act
of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-240, September 27, 2010), requires FMCSA to
perform a detailed analysis of the potential impact of the final rule
on small entities. Accordingly, DOT policy requires that agencies shall
strive to lessen any adverse effects on these businesses and other
entities. The Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis conducted as part
of the May 27, 2015, final rule continues to be applicable to this
final rule.
Assistance for Small Entities
    In accordance with section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, FMCSA wants to assist small entities
in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate its effects
on themselves. If the rule would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please consult the
FMCSA point of contact, Loretta G. Bitner, listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this rule.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce or otherwise determine compliance with Federal
regulations to the SBA's Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of FMCSA, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-
734-3247). DOT has a policy ensuring the rights of small entities to
regulatory enforcement fairness and an explicit policy against
retaliation for exercising these rights.

C. Federalism (Executive Order 13132)

    A rule has federalism implications if it has a substantial direct
effect on State

or local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a
substantial direct cost of compliance on the States. FMCSA analyzed
this rule under E.O. 13132 and has determined that it has no federalism
implications.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    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 $156 million (which is the
value equivalent of $100,000,000 in 1995, adjusted for inflation to
2015 levels) or more in any one year.

E. Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform)

    This final rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

F. Executive Order 13045 (Protection of Children)

    FMCSA analyzed this action under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. The
Agency has determined that this rule does not create an environmental
risk to health or safety that would disproportionately affect children.

G. Executive Order 12630 (Taking of Private Property)

    FMCSA reviewed this final rule in accordance with Executive Order
12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights, and has determined it would not effect a
taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications.

H. Privacy Impact Assessment

    Section 522 of title I of division H of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2005, enacted December 8, 2004 (Pub. L. 108-447,
118 Stat. 2809, 3268, 5 U.S.C. 552a note), requires the Agency to
conduct a privacy impact assessment (PIA) of a regulation that will
affect the privacy of individuals. This final rule does not require the
collection of any personally identifiable information.
    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) applies only to Federal agencies
and any non-Federal agency which receives records contained in a system
of records from a Federal agency for use in a matching program. FMCSA
has determined this final rule does not result in a new or revised
Privacy Act System of Records for FMCSA.

I. Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review)

    The regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding
intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities do
not apply to this program.

J. Paperwork Reduction Act

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each
collection of information they conduct, sponsor, or require through
regulations. On August 5, 2015, OMB approved the May 27, 2015, final
rule's two information collections titled ``Commercial Motor Vehicle
Marking Requirements,'' OMB No. 2126-0054, and ``Lease and Interchange
of Motor Vehicles,'' OMB No. 2126-0056. OMB has set the dates for both
of these information collections to expire on August 31, 2018. FMCSA
will request extensions of those information collections as a result of
this extension of the compliance date.

K. National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Air Act

    FMCSA analyzed this final rule in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The
Agency has determined under its environmental procedures Order 5610.1,
published March 1, 2004, in the Federal Register (69 FR 9680), that
this action is categorically excluded from further environmental
documentation under Appendix 2, Paragraphs y (2) and y (7) of the Order
(69 FR 9702). These categorical exclusions relate to:
     y (2) Regulations implementing motor carrier
identification and registration reports; and
     y (7) Regulations implementing prohibitions on motor
carriers, agents, officers, representatives, and employees from making
fraudulent or intentionally false statements on any application,
certificate, report, or record required by FMCSA.
    Thus, the final action will not require an environmental assessment
or an environmental impact statement.
    FMCSA also analyzed this final rule under the Clean Air Act, as
amended (CAA), section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), and
implementing regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency. Approval of this action is exempt from the CAA's general
conformity requirement since it does not affect direct or indirect
emissions of criteria pollutants.

L. Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects)

    FMCSA has analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. The Agency has determined that it is not a
``significant energy action'' under that Executive Order because it is
not economically significant and is not likely to have a significant
adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 390

    Highway safety, Intermodal transportation, Motor carriers, Motor
vehicle safety, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

[Docket No. CP20-194-000]

Kinetica Energy Express, LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on April 21, 2020, Kinetica Energy Express, LLC
(Kinetica Energy), 1001 McKinney, Suite 900, Houston, Texas 77002,
filed in Docket No. CP20-194-000 an application pursuant to section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting authorization to: (1)
Abandon in-place approximately 20.6 miles of 16-inch-diameter Pipeline
Segment Number (PSN) 5140 and 20.7 miles of 12-inch-diameter PSN 3761
from onshore in Vermillion Parish, Louisiana to South Marsh Island
Block 220 in the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico; and (2) abandon
by removal the remaining 12.9 miles of PSN 5140 and 12.6 miles of PSN
3761 from Marsh Island Block 220 to Marsh Island Blocks 243 and 249,
respectively, all located in the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico,
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the
internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://ferc.gov) using the
eLibrary link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits
in the docket number field to access the document. At this time, the
Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference
Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning
the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on
March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free, (886) 208-
3676 or TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Bill
Prentice, Kinetica Energy Express, LLC, 1001 McKinney, Suite 90,
Houston, Texas 77002, by phone<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules (18 CFR 157.9),
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing

for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to
complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of
issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit five copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be
notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental
review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party
commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other
parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right to seek
court review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new NGA section 3 or
section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a party to a
certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. If seeking
to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to show good cause why
the time limitation should be waived, and should provide justification
by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of the Commission's
Rules and Regulations.\2\

    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at
http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically may mail
similar pleadings to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. Hand delivered submissions in
docketed proceedings should be delivered to Health and Human Services,
