VII. Consideration of Section 110(l) of the CAA

    Under section 110(l) of the CAA, the EPA cannot approve a SIP
revision if the revision would interfere with any applicable
requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress
toward attainment of the NAAQS, or any other applicable requirement of
the Act. In addition, section 110(l) requires that each revision to an
implementation plan submitted by a state be adopted by the state after
reasonable notice and public hearing.
    The Colorado SIP revisions that the EPA is proposing to approve do
not interfere with any applicable requirements of the Act. The Reg. 7
revisions submitted by the State are intended to strengthen the SIP and
to serve as RACT for certain sources for the Colorado ozone SIP.
Colorado's submittals provide adequate evidence that the revisions were
adopted after reasonable public notices and hearings. Therefore, CAA
section 110(l) requirements are satisfied.

VIII. Environmental Justice Considerations

    Executive Order 12898 \116\ directs federal agencies to identify
and address ``disproportionately high and adverse human health or
environmental effects'' of their actions on minority populations and
low-income populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted
by law. Additionally, Executive Order 13985 \117\ directs federal
agencies to assess whether and to what extent their programs and
policies perpetuate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for
underserved populations, and Executive Order 14008 \118\ directs
federal agencies to develop programs, policies, and activities to
address the disproportionately and adverse human health, environmental,
climate-related and other cumulative impacts on disadvantaged
communities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \116\ Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629 (Feb.
16, 1994).
    \117\ 86 FR 7009 (Jan. 25, 2021).
    \118\ 86 FR 7619 (Feb. 1, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To identify potential environmental burdens and susceptible
populations in the DMNFR Area, a screening analysis was conducted using
the EJSCREEN \119\ tool to evaluate environmental and demographic
indicators within the area, based on available data from the Census
Bureau's American Community Survey. The tool outputs showing the
results of this assessment are in the docket for this action. These
results indicate that within the DMNFR Area there are census block
groups that are above the national averages and above the 80th
percentile (in comparison to the nation as a whole) for the numbers of
persons experiencing low income and people of color. These populations
may be vulnerable and subject to disproportionate impacts within the
meaning of the executive orders described above. Further, as the
EJSCREEN analysis is a screening-level assessment and not an in-depth
review, it is possible that there are other vulnerable groups within
the DMNFR Area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \119\ EJSCREEN is an environmental justice mapping and screening
tool that provides the EPA with a nationally consistent dataset and
approach for combining environmental and demographic indicators;
available at https://www.epa.gov/ejscreen/what-ejscreen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As to all vulnerable groups within the DMNFR Area, as explained
below we believe that this action will be beneficial and will tend to
reduce impacts. When the EPA establishes a new or revised NAAQS, the
CAA requires the EPA to designate all areas of the U.S. as either
nonattainment, attainment, or unclassifiable. If an area is designated
nonattainment for a NAAQS, the state must develop a plan outlining how
the area will attain and maintain the standard by reducing air
pollutant emissions. In this action we are proposing to approve the
majority of the State's OAP submittal for the DMNFR Area and state
rules as meeting RACT and satisfying other CAA requirements. The EPA
has defined RACT as the lowest emission limitation that a particular
source is capable of meeting by the application of control technology
that is reasonably available considering technological and economic
feasibility. Approval of these rules into the SIP will establish
federally enforceable requirements that may reduce emissions from
operations in the area. These requirements will contribute to the
increased protection of those residing, working, attending school, or
otherwise present in those areas, and we propose to determine that this
rule, if finalized, will not have disproportionately high or adverse
human health or environmental effects on communities with environmental
justice concerns.

IX. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, the EPA is proposing to include regulatory text
in an EPA final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to
incorporate by reference Colorado AQCC Regulation 7 pertaining to the
control of ozone via ozone precursors and control of hydrocarbons vial
oil and gas emissions and Regulation 21 pertaining to Control of
Volatile Organic Compounds from Consumer Products and Architectural and
Industrial Maintenance Coatings discussed in section VI of this
preamble.
    The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 8
Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);

     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. The proposed rule does not
have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs
on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act of 2004 (MUMS
Act) (Pub. L. 108-282) amended the FD&C Act to provide animal drug
companies with incentives to develop new animal drugs for minor species
and minor uses in major species, while still ensuring appropriate
safeguards for animal and human health.
    One of the incentives established by the MUMS Act is the Index of
Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor Species, also
referred to as ``the Index.'' The Index is available for new animal
drugs intended for use in minor species; the Index is not available for
drugs intended for minor use in major species (horses, cattle, pigs,
turkeys, chickens, dogs, and cats).
    The Index consists of a list of legally marketed unapproved new
animal drugs for minor species that meet the requirements of section
572 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-1). We refer to the process of
adding a new animal drug to the Index as ``indexing.'' Indexing
represents a pathway for legally marketing unapproved new animal drugs
for minor species.
    In the Federal Register of December 6, 2007, FDA published final
regulations establishing administrative procedures and criteria for
listing a new animal drug for use in a minor species in the Index (72
FR 69108). These regulations, which are codified at 21 CFR part 516,
subpart C, are administered by the Office of Minor Use and Minor
Species Animal Drug Development (OMUMS) within FDA's Center for
Veterinary Medicine (CVM). That office also maintains the Index, which
is available to the public through FDA's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/MinorUseMinorSpecies/ucm125452.htm.
    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft GIF #210 entitled
``The Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor
Species.'' This draft guidance describes the process for adding a new
animal drug to the Index.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This level 1 draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's
good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance,
when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ``The
Index of Legally Marketed Unapproved New Animal Drugs for Minor
Species.'' It does not establish any rights for any person and is not
binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are

subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR 516.119 through 516.165 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0620.

IV. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/GuidanceComplianceEnforcement/GuidanceforIndustry/default.htm or

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10010-54-OW]

The National Drinking Water Advisory Council: Request for
Nominations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Request for nominations.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting
nominations from a diverse range of qualified candidates to be
considered to fill vacancies on the National Drinking Water Advisory
Council (NDWAC or Council). The 15-member Council was established by
the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to provide independent advice,
consultation, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on matters
relating to the activities, functions, policies, and regulations
required by the SDWA. This announcement solicits nominations to fill
five vacancies with three-year appointments from December 2020 through
December 2023. The EPA may also consider nominations received through
this solicitation in 2021 and in the event of unplanned vacancies on
the Council. To enable the EPA to maintain the representation required
by statute, the Agency is seeking nominees who are from appropriate
state and local agencies concerned with water hygiene and public water
supply; representatives of private organizations or groups
demonstrating an active interest in the field of water hygiene and
public water supply, including nominees associated with small, rural
public water systems; and from the general public.

DATES: Nominations should be submitted no later than July 13, 2020.

ADDRESSES: We encourage you to submit nominations electronically, with
the subject line ``NDWAC Membership 2020,'' to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
as there may be a delay in processing U.S. mail and no hand deliveries
are currently accepted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have
concerns about submitting your nomination electronically, you may
contact Elizabeth Corr, the Designated Federal Officer (DFO) for the
NDWAC, by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the subject line
``NDWAC Membership 2020,'' or by phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, to discuss a
possible alternative delivery method.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Email your questions to Elizabeth Corr
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. You may also mail
Elizabeth Corr, at the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, MC:
4601M, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20460, but be advised that there may be a delay in
processing U.S. mail and no hand deliveries will be accepted due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    National Drinking Water Advisory Council: The Council was created
by Congress on December 16, 1974, as part of the Safe Drinking Water
Act of 1974, Public Law 93-523, 42 U.S.C. 300j-5, and is operated in
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2. The Council consists of 15 members, including
the chairperson, all of whom are appointed by the EPA Administrator.
Five members are from appropriate state and local agencies concerned
with water hygiene and public water supply; five members represent
private organizations or groups demonstrating an active interest in the
field of water hygiene and public water supply--of which two such

members shall be associated with small, rural public water systems; and
five members are from the general public. The current list of members
is available on the EPA's NDWAC website at https://www.epa.gov/ndwac
under ``NDWAC roster.''
    The Council typically will meet in person once each year and may
hold a second meeting, either in person or by video/teleconference,
during the year. Members also may be asked to participate in ad hoc
workgroups to develop policy recommendations, advice letters, and
reports to address specific program issues.
    Member Nominations: Any interested person and/or organization may
nominate qualified individuals for membership. Interested candidates
may self-nominate. The EPA values and welcomes diversity.
    In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse candidates, the EPA
encourages nominations of women and men of all racial and ethnic
groups.
    All nominations will be fully considered, but applicants need to be
aware of the specific representation required by the SDWA: State and
local agencies concerned with water hygiene and public water supply
(two vacancies in 2020); private organizations or groups demonstrating
an active interest in the field of water hygiene and public water
supply (three vacancies in 2020--of which one will be associated with
small, rural public water systems); and the general public (one vacancy
in 2021). The EPA may also consider nominations received through this
solicitation in the event of unplanned vacancies on the Council. Other
criteria used to evaluate nominees will include:
     Demonstrated experience with drinking water issues at the
national, state, or local level;
     Excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication
and consensus-building skills;
     Willingness to commit time to the Council and demonstrated
ability to work constructively on committees;
     Absence of financial conflicts of interest;
     Absence of appearance of a lack of impartiality; and
     Background and experience that would help members
contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the Council, e.g.,
geographic, economic, social, cultural, educational backgrounds,
professional affiliations, and other considerations.
    Nominations must include a resume, which provides the nominee's
background, experience, and educational qualifications, as well as a
brief statement (one page or less) describing the nominee's interest in
serving on the Council and addressing the other criteria previously
described. Nominees are encouraged to provide any additional
information that they think would be useful for consideration, such as:
Availability to participate as a member of the Council; and how the
nominee's background, skills, and experience would contribute to the
diversity of the Council. Nominees should be identified by name,
occupation, position, current business address, email address, and
telephone number. The DFO will use the email address provided for the
nominee to acknowledge receipt of nominations.
    Persons selected for membership will receive compensation for
travel and a nominal, daily compensation (if appropriate) while
attending meetings. All selected candidates will be designated as
Special Government Employees (SGEs) and will be required to submit the
``Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Environmental Protection
Agency Special Government Employees'' (EPA Form 3110-48). This
confidential form provides information to the EPA's ethics officials,
to determine whether there is a conflict between the SGE's public
duties and their private interests, including an appearance of a loss
of impartiality as defined by federal laws and regulations. The form
may be viewed and downloaded through the ``Ethics requirements'' link
on the EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/ndwac.
    Other sources, in addition to this Federal Register announcement,
may also be utilized in the solicitation of nominees. To help the EPA
in evaluating the effectiveness of its outreach efforts, please tell us
how you learned of this opportunity.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-75246; File No. SR-FINRA-2015-018]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Series 4 Examination Program

June 18, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'' or ``SEA'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby
given that on June 12, 2015, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA.
FINRA has designated the proposed rule change as ``constituting a
stated policy, practice, or interpretation with respect to the meaning,
administration, or enforcement of an existing rule'' under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) thereunder,\4\ which
renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the
Commission. 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is filing revisions to the content outline and selection
specifications for the Registered Options Principal (Series 4)
examination program.\5\ The proposed revisions update the material to
reflect changes to the laws, rules and regulations covered by the
examination and to incorporate the functions and associated tasks
currently performed by a Registered Options Principal. In addition,
FINRA is proposing to make changes to the format of the content
outline. FINRA is not proposing any textual changes to the By-Laws,
Schedules to the By-Laws or Rules of FINRA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ FINRA also is proposing corresponding revisions to the
Series 4 question bank. Based on instruction from SEC staff, FINRA
is submitting this filing for immediate effectiveness pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) thereunder, and
is not filing the question bank for review. See Letter to Alden S.
Adkins, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, NASD Regulation,
from Belinda Blaine, Associate Director, Division of Market
Regulation, SEC, dated July 24, 2000. The question bank is available
for SEC review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revised content outline is attached.\6\ The Series 4 selection
specifications have been submitted to the Commission under separate
cover with a request for confidential treatment pursuant to SEA Rule
24b-2.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commission notes that the revised content outline is
attached to the filing, not to this Notice. The content outline is
available as part of the filing on FINRA's Web site.
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.24b-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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.
FINRA 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
    Section 15A(g)(3) of the Act \8\ authorizes FINRA to prescribe
standards of training, experience, and competence for persons
associated with FINRA members. In accordance with that provision, FINRA
has developed examinations that are designed to establish that persons
associated with FINRA members have attained specified levels of
competence and knowledge, consistent with applicable registration
requirements under FINRA rules. FINRA periodically reviews the content
of the examinations to determine whether revisions are necessary or
appropriate in view of changes pertaining to the subject matter covered
by the examinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(g)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD Rule 1022(f) requires members that engage in, or that intend
to engage in transactions in options with the public to have at least
one Registered Options Principal. Further, every person engaged in the
supervision of options sales practices with the public, including a
person designated pursuant to FINRA Rule 3110(a)(2) must be registered
as a Registered Options Principal.\9\ A person registered solely as a
Registered Options Principal is not qualified to function in a
principal \10\ capacity with responsibility over any area of business
activity that is not stated above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ NASD Rule 1022(f) also includes additional requirements
applicable to Registered Options Principals engaged in securities
futures activities. The rule generally provides that prior to the
introduction of an appropriate qualification examination that
addresses security futures products, a Registered Options Principal
is required to complete a firm-element continuing education program
that addresses security futures products and a principal's
responsibilities for security futures before such person can
supervise security futures activities.
    \10\ The term principal is defined in NASD Rule 1021(b)
(Definition of a Principal).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Registered Options Principal must, prior to or concurrent with
such registration, be or become qualified pursuant to the NASD Rule
1030 Series, as either a General Securities Representative (Series 7)
\11\ or a Corporate Securities Representative (Series 62) and an
Options Representative (Series 42).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Registration as a United Kingdom Securities Representative
or Canada Securities Representative is an acceptable alternative
prerequisite to the General Securities Representative prerequisite.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In consultation with a committee of industry representatives, FINRA
recently undertook a review of the Series 4 examination program. As a
result of this review, FINRA is proposing to make revisions to the
content outline to reflect changes to the laws, rules and regulations
covered by the examination and to incorporate the functions and
associated tasks currently performed by a Registered Options Principal.
FINRA also is proposing to make changes to the format of the content
outline.
Current Content Outline
    The current content outline is divided into three sections. The
following are the three sections and the number of questions associated
with each of the sections, denoted Section 1 through Section 3:
    1. Options Investment Strategies, 34 questions;
    2. Supervision of Sales Activities and Trading Practices, 75
questions; and
    3. Supervision of Employees, Business Conduct, and Recordkeeping
and Reporting Requirements, 16 questions.
    Each section also includes the applicable laws, rules and
regulations associated with that section. The current content outline
also includes a preface (addressing, among other things, the purpose,
administration and scoring of the examination), sample questions and
reference materials.
Proposed Revisions
    FINRA is proposing to divide the content outline into six major job
functions that are performed by a Registered Options Principal. The
following are the six major job functions, denoted Function 1 through
Function 6, with the associated number of questions:
    Function 1: Supervise the Opening of New Options Accounts, 21
questions;
    Function 2: Supervise Options Account Activities, 25 questions;
    Function 3: Supervise General Options Trading, 30 questions;
    Function 4: Supervise Options Communications, 9 questions;
    Function 5: Implement Practices and Adhere to Regulatory
Requirements, 12 questions; and
    Function 6: Supervise Associated Persons and Personnel Management
Activities, 28 questions.
    FINRA is proposing to adjust the number of questions assigned to
each major job function to ensure that the overall examination better
reflects the key tasks performed by a Registered Options Principal. The
questions on the revised Series 4 examination will place greater
emphasis on key tasks such as supervision of registered persons, sales
practices and compliance.
    Each function also includes specific tasks describing activities
associated with performing that function. There are four tasks (1.1-
1.4) associated with Function 1; four tasks (2.1-2.4) associated with
Function 2; four tasks (3.1-3.4) associated with Function 3; four tasks
(4.1-4.4) associated with Function 4; two tasks (5.1-5.2) associated
with Function 5; and four tasks (6.1-6.4) associated with Function
6.\12\ By way of example, one such task (Task 4.2) is review options
retail communications and determine appropriate approval.\13\ Further,
the content outline lists the knowledge required to perform each
function and associated tasks (e.g., types of retail communications,
required approvals).\14\ In addition, where applicable, the content
outline lists the laws, rules and regulations a candidate is expected
to know to perform each function and associated tasks. These include
the applicable FINRA Rules (e.g., FINRA Rule 2220), NASD Rules (e.g.,
NASD Rule 2711(i)) and SEC rules (e.g., Rule 135a under the Securities
Act of 1933).\15\ FINRA conducted a job analysis study of Registered
Options Principals, which included the use of a survey, in developing
each function and associated tasks and updating the required knowledge
set forth in the revised content outline. The functions and associated
tasks, which appear in the revised content outline for the first time,
reflect the day-to-day activities of a Registered Options Principal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Pages 6-22. See footnote 6
regarding availability of the content outline.
    \13\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 15.
    \14\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 15.
    \15\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, FINRA also is proposing to revise the content
outline to reflect changes to the laws, rules and regulations covered
by the examination. Among other revisions, FINRA is proposing to revise
the content outline to reflect the adoption of rules in the
consolidated FINRA rulebook (e.g., NASD Rule 2310 (Recommendations to
Customers (Suitability)), NASD Rule 2212 (Telemarketing) and NASD Rule
3110 (Books and Records) were adopted as FINRA Rule 2111 (Suitability),
FINRA Rule 3230 (Telemarketing) and

FINRA Rule 4510 Series (Books and Records Requirements),
respectively).\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Rule Conversion Chart, available at http://www.finra.org/industry/finra-rule-consolidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is proposing similar changes to the Series 4 selection
specifications and question bank.
    Finally, FINRA is proposing to make changes to the format of the
content outline, including the preface, sample questions and reference
materials. Among other changes, FINRA is proposing to: (1) Add a table
of contents; \17\ (2) provide more details regarding the purpose of the
examination; \18\ (3) provide more details on the application
procedures; \19\ (4) provide more details on the development and
maintenance of the content outline and examination; \20\ (5) explain
that the passing scores are established by FINRA staff, in consultation
with a committee of industry representatives, using a standard setting
procedure, and that a statistical adjustment process known as equating
is used in scoring exams; \21\ and (6) note that each candidate will
receive a score report at the end of the test session, which will
indicate a pass or fail status and include a score profile listing the
candidate's performance on each major content area covered on the
examination.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 2.
    \18\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 3.
    \19\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 3.
    \20\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 4.
    \21\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 5.
    \22\ See Exhibit 3a, Outline Page 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The number of questions on the Series 4 examination will remain at
125 multiple-choice questions,\23\ and candidates will have 195 minutes
to complete the examination. The test time will change from 180 minutes
to 195 minutes because pretest items increased from 5 items to 10
items. Currently, a score of 70 percent is required to pass the
examination. The passing score will change to 72 percent with the
revised Series 4 examination program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ Consistent with FINRA's practice of including ``pretest''
items on certain qualification examinations, which is designed to
ensure that new examination items meet acceptable testing standards
prior to use for scoring purposes, the examination includes 10
additional, unidentified pretest items that do not contribute
towards the candidate's score. Therefore, the examination actually
consists of 135 items, 125 of which are scored. The 10 pretest items
are randomly distributed throughout the examination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Availability of Content Outline
    The current Series 4 content outline is available on FINRA's Web
site, at www.finra.org/brokerqualifications/exams. The revised Series 4
content outline will replace the current content outline on FINRA's Web
site.
    FINRA is filing the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. FINRA proposes to implement the revised Series 4
examination program on September 28, 2015. FINRA will announce the
proposed rule change and the implementation date in a Regulatory
Notice.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed revisions to the Series 4
examination program are consistent with the provisions of Section
15A(b)(6) of the Act,\24\ which requires, among other things, that
FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest, and
Section 15A(g)(3) of the Act,\25\ which authorizes FINRA to prescribe
standards of training, experience, and competence for persons
associated with FINRA members. FINRA believes that the proposed
revisions will further these purposes by updating the examination
program to reflect changes to the laws, rules and regulations covered
by the examination and to incorporate the functions and associated
tasks currently performed by a Registered Options Principal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(g)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The updated examination aligns
with the functions and associated tasks currently performed by a
Registered Options Principal and tests knowledge of the most current
laws, rules, regulations and skills relevant to those functions and
associated tasks. As such, the proposed revisions would make the
examination more efficient and effective.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \26\ and paragraph (f)(1) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\27\ 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0178; Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-20-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC)
Model 222, 222B, and 222U Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
BHTC Model 222, 222B, and 222U helicopters. This proposed AD results
from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated
by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an
unsafe condition on an aviation product. The aviation

authority of Canada, with which we have a bilateral agreement, states
in the MCAI:

    It has been determined that the existing rigging procedures for
the tail rotor pitch change mechanism have to be changed due to
possibility of parts interference.

The cumulative effect of individual part tolerances resulting in the
total assemblage of those parts being out of tolerance could result in
the tail rotor yoke striking another part other than the flapping stop
(parts interference) cited in the MCAI. Also, the misalignment of the
tail rotor counterweight bellcrank may result in higher tail rotor
pedal forces and a higher pilot workload after failure of the No. 1
hydraulic system. Both parts interference and the misaligned
counterweight bellcrank create an unsafe condition. The proposed AD
would require actions that are intended to address these unsafe
conditions.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 17,
2007.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Streamlined Issuance of AD

    The FAA is implementing a new process for streamlining the issuance
of ADs related to MCAI. This streamlined process will allow us to adopt
MCAI safety requirements in a more efficient manner and will reduce
safety risks to the public. This process continues to follow all FAA AD
issuance processes to meet legal, economic, Administrative Procedure
Act, and Federal Register requirements. We also continue to meet our
technical decision-making responsibilities to identify and correct
unsafe conditions on U.S.-certificated products.
    This proposed AD references the MCAI and related service
information that we considered in forming the engineering basis to
correct the unsafe condition. The proposed AD contains text copied from
the MCAI and for this reason might not follow our plain language
principles.

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2007-0178;
Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-20-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD based on those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any personal information you provide. We

will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive No. CF-2007-07, dated April 11,
2007 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the Canadian-certificated products. The MCAI states:

    It has been determined that the existing rigging procedures for
the tail rotor pitch change mechanism have to be changed due to
possibility of parts interference.

    Because the cumulative effect of the tolerances on the various
parts may result in the total assemblage outboard of the counterweight
bellcrank being out of tolerance, the tail rotor yoke may contact nut,
P/N 222-012-731-001, before contacting the flapping stop, resulting in
less tail rotor travel. Additionally, the manufacturer has indicated
that the tail rotor counterweight bellcranks may be misaligned
resulting in higher tail rotor pedal forces and higher pilot workload
after failure of the No. 1 hydraulic system. Both the parts
interference and the higher pedal forces constitute unsafe conditions.
    You may obtain further information by examining the service
information and the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bell Helicopter Textron has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
222-07-104 and ASB 222U-07-75, both dated January 9, 2007. The actions
described in the MCAI are intended to correct the same unsafe condition
as that identified in the service information.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of Canada,
and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, we have been
notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information. 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 the ``Differences Between the FAA AD and the MCAI''
section in the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 86 products of
U.S. registry. Also, we estimate that it would take 2 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. A

replacement yoke would cost about $21,218, assuming the part is no
longer under warranty. However, because the service information lists
this part as covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be
no charge for this part. Therefore, as we do not control warranty
coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than
estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $13,760, or $160 per helicopter.

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 an economic 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, 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:

Bell Helicopter Textron Canada: Docket No. FAA-2007-0178;
Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-20-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by December 17, 2007.

Other Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (BHTC)
Model 222, serial numbers (S/N) 47006 through 47089; Model 222B, S/N
47131 through 47156, and Model 222U, all serial numbers,
helicopters, certificated in any category.

Reason

    (d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    It has been determined that the existing rigging procedures for
the tail rotor pitch change mechanism have to be changed due to
possibility of parts interference.
    This ``possibility of parts interference'' occurs because the
cumulative effect of the tolerances on the various parts may result
in the total assemblage outboard of the counterweight bellcrank
being out of tolerance and the tail rotor yoke may contact nut, P/N
222-012-731-001, before contacting the flapping stop. Further, the
manufacturer has indicated that the tail rotor counterweight
bellcranks may be misaligned resulting in higher tail rotor pedal
forces and higher pilot workload after failure of the No. 1
hydraulic system. Both the parts interference and the higher pedal
forces constitute unsafe conditions.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Within the next 150 hours time-in-service (TIS) or at the
next annual inspection, whichever occurs first, unless already done,
do the following actions.
    (1) Adjust the rigging of the tail rotor pitch change mechanism
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, Paragraphs 1 and
2, of the applicable Bell Helicopter Textron Alert Service Bulletin
(ASB) listed in the following Table 1:

                                 Table 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Helicopter model                   Applicable ASB & date
------------------------------------------------------------------------
222 and 222B..........................  222-07-104 dated January 9,
                                         2007.
222U..................................  222U-07-75 dated January 9,
                                         2007.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) If either at full left pedal position or full right pedal
position a gap exists between the tail rotor yoke and the flapping
stop, replace the tail rotor yoke with an airworthy tail rotor yoke.
    (3) If no gap exists between the tail rotor yoke and the
flapping stop at either full right or full left pedal position,
measure the gap between the tail rotor yoke and nut, P/N 222-012-
731-001, adjust the tail rotor pitch change mechanism, and adjust
the tail rotor pedal forces in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instruction, Paragraphs 4 through 6, of the ASB listed in Table 1 of
the AD.

Differences Between the FAA AD and the MCAI

    (f) This AD requires compliance within the next 150 hours TIS or
at the next annual inspection, whichever occurs first, instead of
``at the next 150 hour or annual inspection but no later than 31
December 2007.

Subject

    (g) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code JASC 6720:
Tail Rotor Control System, Tail Rotor Pitch Change.

Other Information

    (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Safety Management Group, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for
this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
Send information to ATTN: Tyrone Millard, Aerospace Engineer; FAA,
Rotorcraft Directorate, Rotorcraft Standards Staff, Fort Worth,
Texas 76193-0111, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
