Introduction: On December 4, 2020, EPA promulgated regulatory streamlining requirements (see 85 FR 78412).

Beginning January 1, 2021, for oxygenate content in gasoline, a test facility must self-qualify a voluntary consensus-based standard body (VCSB) alternative test method to show that it has met the precision requirements codified in the regulations at §1090.1365(b).  A test facility must also self-qualify that it has met the qualification criteria for accuracy by conducting an ASTM D6708 assessment as codified in the regulations at §1090.1365(d).  The regulations also specify criteria for the designated EPA referee test method reference installation, ASTM D5599, used to qualify accuracy of method defined test method used to measure method defined fuel parameter at §1090.1365(d).

If your test facility was utilizing the designated EPA referee test method, ASTM D5599, (IBR §1090.95(c)(24)), the regulations provide for an exemption in meeting these precision and accuracy self-qualification requirements.  It is important to note, the on-going statistical quality control requirements at §1090.1375 apply to all methods, including the EPA referee test method.

The following spreadsheet template key applies to any party self-qualifying in meeting the PBMS requirements at §1090.1365(b) and §1090.1365(d).  This guidance deals only with the self-qualification of analytical test methods at a testing facility for measuring oxygenate content in gasoline.

The discussions of the applicable regulations in this document are not verbatim.  The discussions of the applicable regulations in this document are not verbatim.  The reader is encouraged to read and become familiar with the applicable regulations of §1090.1360, §1090.1365, §1090.1370 and §1090.1375.  These instructions are intended to help a test facility self-qualify a VCSB alternative analytical test method for the measurement of oxygen and oxygen content in gasoline.

Applicable Dates: These requirements for method qualification under §1090.1365 became effective on January 1, 2021.

Note: Please see below for instructions on use of this spreadsheet example key along with its associated spreadsheet example for oxygenate content in gasoline which is provided by the Agency for determining compliance.  See Part I for precision criteria of §1090.1365(b).  See part II for the ASTM D6708-19a accuracy assessment requirements of §1090.1365(d).  See Part III for reference installation requirement of §1090.1370 along with other PBMS information in Part III.  We encourage parties to use this spreadsheet example key and its associated spreadsheet example for oxygenate content in gasoline as an affirmative defense in meeting the PBMS requirements at §1090.1360, §1090.1365, §1090.1370 and §1090.1375.

Part I - Precision demonstration for oxygenate content in gasoline.

Precision Criteria, §1090.1365(b) - the maximum allowable standard deviation computed from the results of a minimum of 20 tests made over 20 days on samples using good laboratory practices taken from a single homogeneous commercially available gasoline must be less than or equal to 0.3 times the Reproducibility "R", where "R" equals the ASTM reproducibility of ASTM D5599-18 (IBR 1090.95(c)(24)).  You may make up to 4 separate measurements in a 24-hour period, as long as the interval between measurements is at least 4 hours.  Example: A gasoline sample containing 3 percent by mass oxygenates: Maximum allowable standard deviation of 20 tests <=0.3*(0.13*3 percent by mass^0.83) = 0.097 percent by mass.1

 In the workbook entitled "VCSB oxygen content gas test method sprdsht example", locate the worksheet entitled, "Oxygenate Precision Demonstrate".  Enter Precision demonstration data in the light shaded green areas of the worksheet.   	1.	Test results should be entered in spreadsheet to at least the nearest thousandth mass percent for each calibrated oxygenate (0.001 mass percent.  	2.	The date and time of each test measurement must be reported. 	3.	Please include the laboratory sample test identification number for each test result.

 After entering the data into the light shaded green area of the "Oxygenate Precision Demonstration" worksheet, go to the "File" menu at the top of the screen and select "Save" to save your data.  Once all the data are entered into the "Oxygenate Precision Demonstration" worksheet, the standard deviation of the data set (located in cell B16), and an indication as to whether the Oxygenate precision criterion are met will be determined by the worksheet.  The indication of "PASSED" or "FAILED" is located in the worksheet in cell B15, after the question, "Is Oxygenate Content Precision Criterion Met?".  If the worksheet is missing required data, an indication of "REQUIRED DATA MISSING" will appear after this question.  There is a QC data entry check for each test result in column E (i.e., if data is entered in a test result cell, an indication of "OK" will appear next to that cell, but if no data is entered in a test result cell, an indication of "DATA REQUIRED IN CELL #" will appear next to that cell).  Note: If the applicant wishes to include more than the 20 minimum tests, please report the additional data by adding rows to the spreadsheet.2

Part II.	ASTM D6708-19a Accuracy demonstration for oxygenate content in gasoline (§1090.1365(d)).

 In the workbook entitled "Spreadsheet Example VCSB oxygenates and oxygen content gasoline test method", locate the worksheet entitled, "D6708 Assessment Accuracy".  Enter applicable information as discussed below in the D6708 Assessment Accuracy worksheet.

 Include information reported in the test method documentation to the user of the voluntary consensus standard body (VCSB) organization test method, including a description of the technology and/or instrumentation that makes the method functional.

 Include information reported in the test method that demonstrates the test facility is using a VCSB test method ASTM D6708-19a assessment (§1090.1365(d), IBR 1090.95(c)(33)).  Indicate by typing "Yes" in cell "B15",

 Include the correlation equation via an ASTM D6708-19a accuracy assessment to utilize for reporting purposes for the fuel parameter in cell "B16".  If the ASTM D6708 assessment between the candidate VCSB alternative test method and the VCSB EPA referee test method results in a "null" comparison, then type the word "null" in cell "B16" indicating the ASTM D6708 assessment has determined the alternative test method provides equivalent results to its respective EPA referee test method, ASTM D5599-18 (IBR 1090.95(c)(24)).

Part III  -  Additional PBMS Information.

 §1090 CFR 1365. For test methods that are approved by a voluntary consensus-based standards body (VCSB) organization, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or International Standards Organization (ISO), each individual test facility must demonstrate through self-qualification that the applicable criteria for accuracy and precision specified under §1090.1365 are met (Please see Part I and Part II of this spreadsheet example key).  The self-qualification of the test method is limited to the single test facility that performed the testing for accuracy and precision.

 §1090.1360(5)(i). Testing you performed to qualify alternative procedures under 40 CFR part 80.47 continues to be valid for making the demonstrations required in part 1090.

C.	§1090 CFR 1370. Reference installation requirements at §1090.1370 are used for grounding the EPA referee test method, ASTM D5599-18 (IBR 1090.95(c)(24)), for use in the ASTM D6708 (IBR 1090.95(c)(33)), accuracy assessment with the candidate alternative test method.

D.	§1090 CFR 1375. Quality Assurance procedures for oxygenate content in gasoline measurement instrumentation.  A test method shall not be considered a test using an approved test method unless the quality control procedures specified at 1090.1375 for both precision and accuracy are met separately for each instrument at the test facility.

E.	 §1090.1345. See this section of the regulations for sample retention requirements that apply to your specific test facility.

F.	§1090 CFR 1200.  Record retention requirements for approved test methods. Each individual test facility must retain records related to the establishment of accuracy and precision values, all test method documentation, and any quality control test and analysis under §1090.1365, §1090.1370 and §1090.1375 for five years.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited with working and spending quality time with my children to have many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to regular cigarettes and believe that they do help people quit smoking altogether. I wish to provide you with my personal story of how they have help me to quit smoking and get off nicotine as well as science evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-97542; File No. SR-Phlx-2023-18]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Offer Field-
Programmable Gate Array Technology as an Optional Delivery Mechanism
for PSX TotalView

May 22, 2023.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on May 12, 2023, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 proposes to offer field-programmable gate array
(``FPGA'') technology as an optional delivery mechanism for PSX
TotalView.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/phlx/rules, at the
principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    Phlx proposes to offer field-programmable gate array (``FPGA'')
technology as an optional delivery mechanism for PSX TotalView.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A proposal to make FPGA technology also available at the BX
Exchange is being submitted together with this proposal. The
Exchange initially filed this Proposal on May 4, 2023 (SR-Phlx-2023-
17). On May 12, 2023, the Exchange withdrew SR-Phlx-2023-17 and
replaced it with the instant filing. This filing corrects an error
in the initial submission, but includes no substantive changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FPGA technology has been used for over a decade by the Nasdaq Stock
Market to facilitate customer ingestion of large quantities of
information at periods of peak activity. FPGA hardware is designed to
facilitate the processing of large data packets without introducing
variable queuing, thereby improving the predictability of data transfer
on telecommunications ports, a process known as ``determinism.''
Outside of peak activity, FPGA helps customers establish more
predictable consistency in message throughput over the course of the
trading day.
    The Exchange proposes to use FPGA technology to process PSX
TotalView data. PSX TotalView is a real-time market data product that
provides full order depth using a series of order

messages to track the life of customer orders in the PSX market, as
well as trade data for PSX executions and administrative messages such
as Trading Action messages, Symbol Directory, and Event Control
messages.\4\ PSX TotalView allows users to view all displayed quotes
and orders, access total displayed anonymous interest, and see total
size of all displayed quotes and orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Nasdaq PHLX LLC Rules, Equity 7, Section 3 (Nasdaq PSX
Fees), PSX TotalView; see also Securities Exchange Act Release No.
62876 (September 9, 2010), 75 FR 56624 (September 16, 2010) (SR-
Phlx-2010-120) (introducing PSX TotalView as a product).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FPGA technology has been offered by the Nasdaq Stock Exchange for
over a decade, and the Nasdaq Options Market for nearly as long,\5\ and
has been cited by the SEC as an example of a technology useful in the
distribution of market data products.\6\ It is a well-established
technology that is familiar to market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67297 (June 28,
2012), 77 FR 39752 (July 5, 2012) (SR-Nasdaq-2012-063) (introducing
FPGA technology); see also Nasdaq Data News 2012-13, available at
http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/TraderNews.aspx?id=dn2012-13
(introducing TotalView FPGA service as of August 1, 2012);
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74745 (April 16, 2015), 80 FR
22588 (April 22, 2015) (SR-Nasdaq-2015-035) (establishing FPGA for
the Nasdaq Options Market); see also The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
Rules, Equity 7, Section 126(c) (Hardware-Based Delivery of Nasdaq
Depth data).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90610, 86 FR 18596,
18647 (April 9, 2021) (File No. S7-03-20) (listing field
programmable gate array services as an example of a technological
innovation that could be employed by competing consolidators as part
of the Market Data Infrastructure rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purchase of FPGA technology is entirely optional because FPGA
functionality can be replicated through a variety of software
solutions. Our experience with Nasdaq TotalView is that some customers
use FPGA technology to address determinism, others avail themselves of
software solutions, some use both, and others alternate between both.
Some market participants that have purchased FPGA technology in the
past have discontinued its use. There are no systematic differences
among market participants that choose to use or not to use FPGA
technology beyond the compatibility of FPGA technology with the
customer's specific technical systems, which can change over time as
systems are modified, replaced or updated.
    The proposal to offer FPGA technology to customers of PSX TotalView
is in response to customer demand. To date, lower levels of peak
activity at the PSX Exchange relative to the Nasdaq Exchange have been
associated with low levels of customer interest in this product.
Recently, however, PSX has heard from customers interested in using
FPGA technology for PSX TotalView. To address this customer demand, and
to drive liquidity to the PSX Exchange by making it a more attractive
trading venue, PSX has decided to offer this product to meet evolving
customer needs.
    The Exchange will submit a proposed fee schedule for this product
in a separate filing. The Exchange intends to make this product
available on June 1, 2023.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and in general to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, the current proposal to offer FPGA technology with
PSX TotalView is in response to changes in customer demand. This
proposal reflects the need for the Exchange to stay competitive in the
market for exchange services. It also promotes competition and
innovation by providing market participants additional choices in the
transmission of depth of book data.
    Offering this well-recognized technology to customers will
facilitate their usage of the data. If the technology is not ultimately
beneficial, the customer can discontinue it at any time, and for any
reason, as they have done in the past. Customers that choose not to
purchase FPGA technology will not be affected because these customers
have alternative methods to facilitate determinism available to them.
    Approval of this proposal is in the public interest and otherwise
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act because it
promotes competition, facilitates the ingestion of market data by
certain market participants, and has no impact on customers that do not
elect to avail themselves of the service.

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
    Nothing in the Proposal burdens inter-market competition (the
competition among self-regulatory organizations) because approval of
the Proposal does not impose any burden on the ability of other
exchanges to compete. All exchanges are free introduce products that
facilitate the ingestion of data at peak periods.
    Nothing in the Proposal burdens intra-market competition (the
competition among consumers of exchange data) because FPGA technology
will be available to any market participant on a non-discriminatory
basis.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\ Because
the proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative on June 1 so that any potential customer that
wishes to obtain the FPGA service would be able to do so on June 1,
2023. The Exchange argues that an operative date of June 1, 2023 is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because market data services are typically initiated at the beginning
of a

calendar month, and the June 1 operative date would allow any
interested customer to utilize the service for the entire month, while
still allowing any interested party almost a month to review the
proposal.\13\ The Exchange also argues that the benefits of the full
month of operation outweigh any costs associated with a slightly
shorter operative delay, given that FPGA is a well-established
technology that is familiar to market participants. The Commission
believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the
Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the
proposed rule change as operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ The Exchange initially filed the substance of this proposed
rule change on May 4, 2023 as SR-Phlx-2023-17. This initial proposal
was withdrawn and replaced on May 12, 2023.
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2008-0036]

Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Standards; Rotel North American
Tours, LLC; Application for Exemption and Request for Comments

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

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that Rotel North American Tours, LLC (Rotel)
has applied for exemption from the Agency's requirement that drivers of
certain commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) possess a valid commercial
driver's license (CDL). Rotel has requested this exemption for 22
German bus drivers who would transport German tourists in the United
States by means of Rotel's specially equipped passenger-carrying CMVs.
Rotel hires the bus drivers to conduct the tours in addition to
operating the CMVs. Rotel previously was able to conduct these
operations without exemption because its drivers had been able to
obtain (and renew) non-resident CDLs from certain States. However,
because of the recent emphasis upon security in the U.S., Rotel reports
that no State currently issues non-resident CDLs. Rotel believes these
drivers possess the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure a level of
safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that
would be obtained by complying with the U.S. requirement for a CDL.
FMCSA requests public comment on the Rotel application for exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 21, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century
(Pub. L. 105-178, 112 Stat. 107, June 9, 1998) amended 49 U.S.C. 31315
and 31136(e) to provide authority to grant exemptions from motor
carrier safety regulations. Under its regulations, FMCSA must publish a
notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an opportunity to
inspect the information relevant to the application, including the
results of any safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency
must also provide an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305(a)). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reason for denying or, in the alternative, the
specific person or class of persons receiving the exemption, and the
regulatory provision or provisions from which exemption is being
granted. The notice must also specify the effective period of the
exemption (up to 2 years), and explain the terms and conditions of the
exemption. The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

Request for Exemption

    Rotel, headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana, is engaged in
conducting bus tours of the United States for Europeans. It currently
has 22 bus drivers and 11 customized buses dedicated to these
operations. The buses qualify as passenger commercial motor vehicles
(CMVs) as defined in section 383.5 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR 350 et. seq.); therefore, the operators of
the buses must possess a valid commercial driver's license (CDL) (49
CFR 383.110) with passenger endorsement (49 CFR 383.93).
    Rotel drivers operate the buses and deliver oral commentary during
the trip. Rotel prefers to use native German drivers to conduct the
tours. It tried to use non-native Germans who were fluent in German,
but states that the quality of its service was affected adversely.
    Rotel's drivers hold German CDLs, but these are not recognized in
the U.S. Until recently, the German drivers could obtain (and renew) a
non-resident CDL in one of several States of the U.S. However, because
of the recent heightening of security in the U.S., no State currently
issues or renews non-resident CDLs. Therefore, Rotel's drivers

cannot obtain or renew non-resident CDLs.
    Rotel requests FMCSA to allow its 22 bus drivers to operate these
11 buses without a CDL for a period of two years. It believes these
drivers possess the knowledge and skills to ensure a level of safety
that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would
be obtained by complying with the U.S. requirement for a CDL. A copy of
Rotel's application for exemption is available for review in the docket
for this notice.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) and 31136(e), FMCSA
requests public comment on Rotel's application for exemption from the
FMCSRs. The Agency will consider all comments received by close of
business on April 21, 2008. Comments will be available for examination
in the docket at the location listed under the ADDRESSES section of
this notice. The Agency will consider to the extent practicable
comments received in the public docket after the closing date of the
comment period.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A340-600 series airplanes. This AD requires modifying the
fire extinguishing system from a three-bottles solution with 4 flow
metering compact unit into a two-bottles solution with 2 flow metering
systems equipped with upgraded water absorbing filter elements. This AD
was prompted by reports of partial blockage of a certain water
absorbing filter element. We are issuing this AD to prevent partial
blockage of a certain water absorbing filter element, which could lead
to reduction of the halon outflow, which leads to incapacity to
maintain fire extinguishing agent concentration. Combined with fire,
this condition could result in an uncontrolled fire in the affected
compartment.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 28, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 28,
2012.
    We must receive comments on this AD by March 29, 2012.

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

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2010-0255, dated December 6, 2010 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:
    During the qualification test campaign of the prototype Flow
Metering Compact Unit (FMCU) Part Number (P/N) QA07907-03, partial
blockage of the water absorbing filter element P/N QA06123 was
observed several times. The blockage was created by carbon debris
from the cartridge and from the burst disc of the Halon bottle.
    This water absorbing filter element is part of the FMCU, which
are part of the Lower Deck Cargo Compartment (LDCC) fire
extinguisher system used in some A340-600 aeroplanes.
    Blockage of the water absorbing filter element could lead to
reduction of the Halon outflow, leading to incapacity to maintain
fire extinguishing agent concentration. Combined with fire, this
condition could result in an uncontrolled fire in the affected
compartment, which would constitute an unsafe condition.
    To avoid water absorbing filter element blockage, this [EASA] AD
requires to convert the fire extinguishing system from the three-
bottles-system with 4 FMCU into a two-bottles-system with 2 Flow
Metering Systems (FMS) equipped with upgraded water absorbing filter
elements.
    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin A340-26-5020,
including Appendix 01, dated June 3, 2010. The actions described in
this service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
    There are no products of this type currently registered in the
United States. However, this rule is necessary to ensure that the
described unsafe condition is addressed if any of these products are
placed on the U.S. Register in the future.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product,
notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are
unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-0112; Directorate
Identifier 2011-NM-055-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
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 AD.

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 AD:
    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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81878; File No. SR-ISE-2017-88]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Schedule of Fees To Increase the Crossing Fee Cap

October 16, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 2, 2017, Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 proposes to amend the Schedule of Fees to increase the
Crossing Fee Cap for members that do not commit in advance to paying
the full Crossing Fee Cap at the end of each month.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at 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 Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the Schedule of
Fees to increase the Crossing Fee Cap for members that do not commit in
advance to paying the full Crossing Fee Cap at the end of each month.
Currently, the Exchange has a Crossing Fee Cap of $75,000 per month per
member on all Firm Proprietary \3\ and Non-Nasdaq ISE Market Maker \4\
transactions that are part of the originating or contra side of a
Crossing Order.\5\ Members that elect prior to the start of the month
to pay $65,000 per month have these crossing fees capped at that level
instead, regardless of actual trading volume. All eligible volume from
affiliated Members is aggregated for purposes of the Crossing Fee Cap,
provided there is at least 75% common ownership between the Members as
reflected on each Member's Form BD, Schedule A. The Exchange now
proposes to increase the Crossing Fee Cap to $90,000 per month;
provided, however, that members that commit in advance to paying the
full Crossing Fee Cap at the end of each month will continue to have
these fees capped at $65,000 per month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A ``Firm Proprietary'' order is an order submitted by a
member for its own proprietary account.
    \4\ A ``Non-Nasdaq ISE Market Maker'' is a market maker as
defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, registered in the same options class on another options
exchange.
    \5\ Crossing Orders are contracts that are submitted as part of
a Facilitation, Solicitation, PIM, Block or QCC order. Fees charged
by the Exchange for Responses to Crossing Orders are not included in
the calculation of the monthly fee cap. Surcharge fees charged by
the Exchange for licensed products and the fees for index options
are not included in the calculation of the monthly fee cap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among members and issuers and other persons using any facility,
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable and equitable to
increase the Crossing Fee Cap as the proposed Crossing Fee Cap is set
at a level that the Exchange believes appropriately rewards members for
executing a high volume of Crossing Orders on the Exchange. The
proposed Crossing Fee Cap remains lower than similar fee caps available
on other options exchanges, including NYSE American Options and NYSE
Arca Options, which both have fee caps set at $100,000 per month,
subject to the potential for reduced caps based on a member's tier
achieved.\8\ As proposed, members that do not elect to pay the
discounted rate in full each month will be eligible to have their fees
capped at the new rate of $90,000 per month. At the same time, members
that commit to their Crossing Order fees in advance will continue to
receive a discounted rate of $65,000 per month, which will encourage
members to bring their Crossing Order flow to the Exchange. In
particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed fee change may
further incentivize members to commit to the discounted Crossing Fee
Cap, and will bring more Crossing Order flow to the Exchange as a
result. The Exchange believes that this will benefit all members and
investors that trade on the Exchange as it will provide additional
opportunities for market participants to interact with this Crossing
Order Flow, contributing to a robust and competitive market.
Furthermore, the Exchange believes that the proposed fee change is not
unfairly discriminatory because all members will have the option to
make the required commitment in order to qualify for the discounted
Crossing Fee Cap, or will be subject to the Crossing Fee Cap proposed
here. The Crossing Fee Cap will be uniformly applied to members based
on their election.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See NYSE American Options Fee Schedule, Section I. Options
Transaction Fees and Credits, I. Firm Monthly Fee Cap; NYSE Arca
Options Fees and Charges, NYSE Arca Options: Trade-Related Charges
for Standard Options, Firm and Broker Dealer Monthly Fee Cap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Although the Exchange is
increasing the Crossing Fee Cap, the Exchange believes that the
proposed cap is set at an appropriate level. Moreover, any member that
wishes to lower their fees can continue to prepay the Crossing Fee Cap,
and thereby qualify for a discounted fee. The Exchange operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct their order flow to competing venues. In such an environment,
the Exchange must continually review, and consider adjusting, its fees
and rebates to remain competitive with other exchanges. For the reasons
described above, the Exchange believes that the proposed fee changes
reflect this competitive environment.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \10\ 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: (i) Necessary or
appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the protection of
investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the
Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be
approved or disapproved.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Mount Sterling Municipal Airport, Mount Sterling,
IL, and Pittsfield Penstone Municipal Airport, Pittsfield, IL, to
support instrument flight rule operations at these airports.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by:
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 7.3-mile (increased from a 6.6-mile) radius of
Mount Sterling Municipal Airport, Mount Sterling, IL;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 7-mile) radius
of Pittsfield Penstone Municipal Airport, Pittsfield, IL; and updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    This action is due to airspace reviews conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Quincy VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September
15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that BASF
Corp. has filed a petition proposing that the food additive regulations
be amended to provide for the safe use of methyl esters of conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA) as a source of fatty acids in lactating dairy cow
diets and for use of silicon dioxide as a carrier for the methyl esters
of CLA.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the petitioner's
environmental assessment by July 6, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (section 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), notice is given that a
food additive petition (FAP 2269) has been filed by BASF Corp. (BASF),
100 Campus Dr., Florham Park, NJ 07932. The petition proposes to amend
the food additive regulations in part 573 Food Additives Permitted in
Feed and Drinking Water of Animals (21 CFR part 573) to provide for the
safe use of methyl esters of conjugated linoleic acid (cis-9, trans-11
and trans-10, cis-12 octadecadienoic acids) as a source of fatty acids
in lactating dairy cow diets. BASF's FAP 2269 further proposes the use
of silicon dioxide as a carrier for methyl esters of CLA.
    The potential environmental impact of this action is being
reviewed. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations
issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.4(b)),
the Agency is placing the environmental assessment submitted with the
petition that is the subject of this notice on public display at the
Division of Dockets Management (see DATES and ADDRESSES) for public
review and comment.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no
longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. FDA will
also place on public display any amendments to, or comments on, the
petitioner's environmental assessment without further announcement in
the Federal Register. If, based on its review, the Agency finds that an
environmental impact statement is not required, and this petition
results in a regulation, the notice of availability of the Agency's
finding of no significant impact and the evidence supporting that
finding will be published with the regulation in the Federal Register
in accordance with 21 CFR 25.51(b).
