[Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0001]

Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory
Committee; Notice of Meeting

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of a public advisory
committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The meeting will
be open to the public.
    Name of Committee: Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical
Devices Advisory Committee.
    General Function of the Committee: To provide advice and
recommendations to the Agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on October 8, 2014, from 8
a.m. to 6 p.m. and on October 9, 2014, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
    Location: Hilton Washington DC North/Gaithersburg, Salons A, B, C,
and D, 620 Perry Pkwy., Gaithersburg, MD 20877. The hotel telephone
number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Contact Person: Jamie Waterhouse, Center for Devices and
Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire
Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 1611, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or FDA Advisory Committee Information
Line, 1-800-741-8138<PHONE_NUMBER> in the Washington, DC area). A
notice in the Federal Register about last minute modifications that
impact a previously announced advisory committee meeting

cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice.
Therefore, you should always check the Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the
appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory
committee information line to learn about possible modifications before
coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: On October 8, the committee will discuss, make
recommendations and vote on information related to the premarket
approval application regarding the Boston Scientific Corporation's
WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure Technology. FDA is seeking
committee review and recommendations regarding new clinical data and
associated additional adverse events including stroke that have become
available since the previous advisory committee meeting on the WATCHMAN
device, which was held December 11, 2013. The WATCHMAN LAA Closure
Technology is a percutaneously delivered permanent cardiac implant
placed in the left atrial appendage. This device is indicated to
prevent thromboembolism (TE) from the left atrial appendage. It may be
considered for use in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
who are eligible for warfarin therapy to reduce the risk of stroke and
systemic embolism based on CHADS2 (congestive heart failure,
hypertension, age >75 years, diabetes, and prior stroke or transient
ischemic attack (TIA)) or CHA2DS2-VASc
(congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >75 years, diabetes
mellitus, stroke/TIA/TE, vascular disease, age 65-74, and sex category)
scores.
    On October 9, the committee will discuss and make recommendations
regarding the classification of more-than-minimally manipulated
allograft heart valves (MMM Allograft HVs). A MMM Allograft HV is a
human valve or valved conduit that has been aseptically recovered from
qualified donors, dissected free from the human heart, and then
subjected to a manufacturing process(es) that alters the original
relevant characteristics of the tissue (21 CFR 1271.3(f), 21 CFR
1271.10(a)(1), and 21 CFR 1271.20). The valve is then stored until
needed by a recipient. An example of such a manufacturing process is
one that intentionally removes the cells and cellular debris with the
goal of reducing in vivo antigenicity.
    MMM Allograft HVs are considered preamendment devices because they
were found substantially equivalent to devices in commercial
distribution prior to May 28, 1976, when the Medical Device Amendments
became effective. MMM Allograft HVs are currently regulated under
Product Code OHA, ``Heart Valve, More than Minimally Manipulated
Allograft,'' as unclassified devices and reviewed under the premarket
notification, 510(k), authority (21 CFR part 807). FDA is seeking
committee input on the safety and effectiveness of MMM Allograft HVs
and the regulatory classification for MMM Allograft HVs.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting
link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee.
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before
September 30, 2014. On October 8, oral presentations from the public
will be scheduled between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. On October 9,
oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between
approximately 9:45 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. Those individuals interested in
making formal oral presentations should notify the contact person and
submit a brief statement of the general nature of the evidence or
arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses of proposed
participants, and an indication of the approximate time requested to
make their presentation on or before September 22, 2014. Time allotted
for each presentation may be limited. If the number of registrants
requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably accommodated
during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may conduct a
lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open public hearing
session. The contact person will notify interested persons regarding
their request to speak by September 24, 2014.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised
that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
outlets.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-524, OMB Control No. 3235-0582]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Form N-PX

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``Paperwork Reduction Act''), the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting
comments on the collection of information summarized below. The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Rule 30b1-4 (17 CFR 270.30b1-4) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) requires every registered management
investment company, other than a small business investment company
registered on Form N-5 (``funds''), to file a report on Form N-PX not
later than August 31 of each year. Funds use Form N-PX to file annual
reports with the Commission containing their complete proxy voting
record for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30.
    The Commission estimates that there are approximately 2,207 funds
registered with the Commission, representing approximately 11,890 fund
portfolios that are required to file Form N-PX reports. The 11,890
portfolios are comprised of approximately 6,392 portfolios holding
equity securities, 2,857 portfolios holding no equity securities, and
1,476 portfolios holding fund securities (i.e., fund of funds).\1\ The
currently approved burden of Form N-PX for portfolios holding equity

securities is 7.2 hours per response, the current burden estimate for
funds holding no equity securities is 0.17 hours (10 minutes) per
response, and the current burden estimate for fund of funds is 1 hour
per response. Therefore, the number of aggregate burden hours, when
calculated using the current number of portfolios, is approximately
47,984 hours.\2\ We continue to believe that these estimates for Form
N-PX's current burden are appropriate. Based on the Commission's
estimate of 47,984 burden hours and an estimated wage rate of
approximately $368 per hour,\3\ the total cost to reporting persons of
the hour burden for filing Form N-PX is approximately $17.66
million.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The estimate of 2,207 funds is based on the number of
management investment companies currently registered with the
Commission. The Commission staff estimates that there are
approximately 6,392 portfolios that invest primarily in equity
securities, 804 ``hybrid'' or bond portfolios that may hold some
equity securities, 2,857 bond portfolios that hold no equity
securities, and 361 money market fund portfolios, and 1,476 fund of
funds, for a total of 11,890 portfolios required to file Form N-PX
reports. The staff has based its portfolio estimates on a number of
publications. See Investment Company Institute, Trends in Mutual
Fund Investing (February 2020); Investment Company Institute,
Closed-End Fund Assets and Net Issuance (Fourth Quarter 2019);
Investment Company Institute, ETF Assets and Net Issuance (February
2020).
    \2\ (6,392 portfolios that hold equity securities x 7.2 hours
per year) + (2,857 portfolios holding no equity securities x 0.17
hours per year) + (1,476 portfolios holding fund securities x 1 hour
per year) = 47,984 hours.
    \3\ The hourly wage figure for a compliance attorney is from the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association's Management &
Professional Salaries in the Securities Industry 2013, modified by
Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and inflation
and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee
benefits and overhead.
    \4\ 47,984 hours x $368 per hour = $17,658,112.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The estimated cost burden of Form N-PX is $1,000 in external costs
per portfolio holding equity securities that is paid to third-party
service providers. External costs for portfolios holding no equity
securities have previously been estimated to be zero because portfolios
holding no equity securities generally have no proxy votes to report
and therefore do not require third-party service providers to assist
with proxy voting and preparing reports on Form N-PX. The estimated
cost burden of Form N-PX for fund of funds is estimated to be $100 per
portfolio because fund of funds generally either have no proxy votes to
report; or if proxy votes are reported, they are generally limited in
the number of securities and the number of voting matters relative to
portfolios holding equity securities. Therefore, the aggregate cost
burden, when calculated using the current number of portfolios, is
approximately $6,539,600 in external costs.\5\ We continue to believe
that these estimates for Form N-PX's current cost burden are
appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ (6,392 portfolios holding equity securities x $1,000 per
year) + (2,857 portfolios holding no equity securities x $0 per
year) + (1,476 fund of funds x $100) = $6,539,600.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimates of average burden hours and costs are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms. Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N-PX is mandatory. Responses to the
collection of information will not be kept confidential. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Cynthia
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an email to:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-58901; File No. SR-OCC-2008-06]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Stock Loan/
Hedge Program

November 5, 2008.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on February 25, 2008, The
Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') and on October 7, 2008, amended
the proposed rule change described in Items I, II, and III below, which
items have been prepared primarily by OCC. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change would mitigate inconsistencies that may
result under the Stock Loan/Hedge Program.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC 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. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    OCC has decided to take certain steps to provide for the continued
growth and development of its Stock Loan/Hedge Program (``Program'').
These include (1) elimination of the ability of clearing members to
carry stock loan and borrow positions without depositing risk margin
and (2) adjusting the amount of required risk margin where stock loan
collateral provided by the borrower to the lender exceeds the value of
the borrowed stock.

Background and General Description of the Proposed Rule Change.

    The Program is provided for in Article XXI of OCC's By-Laws and
Chapter XXII of the Rules. It provides a means for OCC clearing members
to submit certain stock loan/borrow transactions (``stock loan
transactions'') to OCC for clearance. The stock and the stock loan
collateral move through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company
from the lending clearing member (``lender'') to the borrowing clearing
member (``borrower''), and vice-versa when the stock is returned, in
the same way that such transactions are ordinarily effected. Where the
stock loan transaction is submitted to OCC for clearance, however, OCC
is substituted as the lender to the borrower and the borrower to the
lender. Thereafter, OCC guarantees performance of the stock loan
transaction with respect to delivery and return of stock and collateral
and the making of daily mark-to-market payments between the lender and
borrower, which are effected through OCC's cash settlement system.
    One advantage of submitting stock loan transactions to OCC is that
the stock loan and borrow positions then reside in the clearing
member's options accounts at OCC and to the extent that they offset the
risk of options positions carried in the same account, may reduce the
clearing member's margin requirement in the account. OCC's risk is, in
turn, reduced by having the benefit of the hedge. Nevertheless, OCC
currently permits qualified clearing members to elect to submit stock
loan and borrow transactions to OCC on a ``margin ineligible basis,''
meaning that the positions are excluded from OCC's margin calculations
for the account containing those positions. Margin-ineligible stock
loan and borrow positions do not reduce the margin requirement for the
account to reflect any offsetting value they might have, nor does OCC
collect additional margin to reflect the risk of those positions. The
election is made by each clearing member on an account-by-account basis
so that all stock loan and borrow positions in a particular account are
carried on a margin ineligible basis or none are. In order to carry
stock loan and borrow positions on a margin ineligible basis, a
clearing member must meet heightened standards of creditworthiness as
set forth in Interpretation and Policy .06 under Section 1 of Article V
of OCC's By-Laws.
    While OCC believes that the current credit-based risk management
approach has been adequate to date given historical Program activity
levels, OCC also believes that a more conservative approach is
warranted to provide for further growth of the Program and greater
market volatility. OCC therefore seeks to better manage the market risk
resulting from open stock loan and borrow positions by applying its
standard margining approach to all such positions.
    Another potential exposure that OCC seeks to address arises from
the stock loan market practice of requiring the borrower to
overcollateralize a position by giving the lender cash collateral equal
to 102% of the position's current market value. OCC's rules provide
that OCC's guarantee of Program transactions extends to the full value
of the collateral exchanged as part of a stock loan transaction.
Therefore, if a lender were to fail, even if the stock could be sold
out at 100% of the marking price, the borrower would be left with a 2%
deficiency, for which OCC would be liable. Managing this potential
exposure will be accomplished by (a) an additional margin charge
applied to lenders executing stock loans at 102% in an amount equal to
the 2% excess collateral and (b) borrowers receiving a margin credit in
an equal amount. These new margin charges/credits are independent of,
and in addition to, the risk margin determined by the

``STANS'' margining system that will be collected and maintained from
both lenders and borrowers.
    In connection with the submission of this filing, OCC has confirmed
with the Commission staff that the proposed rule change would not have
adverse consequences to clearing members under Rule 15c3-1, the
Commission's net capital rule.\3\ Specifically, where stock loan/borrow
transactions are submitted to OCC for clearance through the Program,
any additional amount of margin required to be deposited with OCC as a
result of such transactions shall be treated the same as any other
portion of the OCC margin deposit and shall therefore not constitute an
unsecured receivable and shall not be required to be deducted from net
capital.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.15c-3-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to minimize any potential disruptive impact associated
with these changes in the margin treatment of stock loan and borrow
positions, OCC would utilize two initial phase-in periods. There would
be a one-month grace period (beginning from the date of Commission
approval of this rule filing) before the changes are applied to any
positions. For the next two months, all new positions must be submitted
on a margin-eligible basis and will be subject to the
overcollateralization provisions, but positions that were carried on a
margin-ineligible basis as of the date of the approval order will not
be required to be margined or subject to the overcollateralization
provisions. After the end of that initial three-month period, all stock
loan and borrow positions in all accounts would be carried on a margin-
eligible basis and would be subject to the overcollateralization
provisions, regardless of when the positions were established.

Rule Amendments Applicable to Changes in the Program.

    OCC proposes the following amendments to its Rules to achieve the
above-referenced initiative and accommodate and facilitate the
continued growth and development of the Program.
1. Margin Requirements--Rule 601
    OCC will amend Rule 601(e) to eliminate its current category of
``margin-ineligible'' accounts, and instead apply its standard
margining approach to all Program positions using its ``STANS'' system.
This change will become effective three months following the date of
the Commission's order approving this rule filing. In addition, a new
interpretation .06 would be added to Rule 601 setting forth the
additional margin charges and credits, and the implementation schedule,
applicable to stock loan and borrow positions that have collateral set
at 102%.
2. Instructions to the Corporation--Rule 2201
    Rule 2201(a) is proposed to be amended to provide that, with
respect to standing instructions that clearing members provide to OCC,
the requirement to notify OCC of the fact that the clearing member is
approved to maintain stock loan positions and stock borrow positions in
its accounts on a non-margined basis, and the account or accounts that
are to be margin-ineligible, shall become inapplicable three months
from the SEC's approval order. After that time, OCC will have
eliminated the ability to carry any stock loan or borrow positions on a
``margin-ineligible'' basis.
3. Initiation of Stock Loans--Rule 2202
    Rule 2202(f) is proposed to be amended to specify that, one month
after the Commission's approval order, a member shall not be able to
submit new stock loan transactions to OCC for clearance in a margin-
ineligible account.
    OCC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
purposes and requirements of the Act because it is designed to promote
the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of stock loan
transactions, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons
engaged in the clearance and settlement of such transactions, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a national system for the
prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of such transactions, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. It
accomplishes this purpose by applying margin requirements designed to
enhance OCC's protection against the risk of carrying stock loan and
borrow positions. The proposed rule change is not inconsistent with the
existing rules of OCC, including any rules proposed to be amended.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any
material burden on competition.

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

    Written comments were not and are not intended to be solicited with
respect to the proposed rule change, and none have been received.

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

    Within thirty-five days of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register or within such longer period: (i) As the
Commission may designate up to ninety days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A318-111 and -112 airplanes, Model A319-111, -112, -113, -
114, and -115 airplanes, Model A320-111, -211, -212, and -214
airplanes, and Model A321-111, -112, -211, -212, and -213 airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by reports of broken aft engine mount
retainers. This proposed AD would require inspecting the aft engine
mount retainers for surface finish, and for cracks and failure, and
replacement if necessary. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure
of retainer brackets of the aft engine mount and consequent loss of the
locking feature of the nuts of the inner and outer pins. Loss of the
pins will result in the aft mount engine link no longer being secured
to the aft engine mount.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 3,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

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 2013-0050, dated March 5, 2013 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    During in-service inspections, several aft engine mount
retainers, fitted on aeroplanes equipped with CFM56-5/5B engines,
have been found broken.
    The results of the investigations highlight that two different
types of surface finish have been applied (respectively bright and
dull material finishes), and that dull finish adversely affects the
strength of the retainer with regard to fatigue properties of the
part.
    The pins which attach the engine link to the aft mount are
secured by two nuts, which do not have a self-locking feature; this
function is provided by the retainer brackets. In case of failure of
the retainer bracket, the locking feature of the nuts of the inner
and outer pins is lost; as a result, these nuts could subsequently
become loose.
    In case of full loss of the nuts, there is the potential to also
lose the pins, in which case the aft mount link will no longer be
secured to the aft engine mount. The same locking feature is used
for the three link assemblies of the aft mount.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time detailed visual inspection (DVI) of the aft engine mount to
identify the affected dull finish retainers [and for cracks and
failure] and replace these [retainers] with serviceable retainers.
This [EASA] AD also prohibits installation of any dull finish aft
engine mount retainers.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating it in Docket No. FAA-
2013-1028.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT)
A71N001-12, Rev. 2, dated February 27, 2013.
    Goodrich Corporation has issued Goodrich Service Bulletin RA32071-
146, Rev. 2, dated July 26, 2012.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 851 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.

                                   engines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs

                                          = $85 per engine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 proposed 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);
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2013-1028; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-
068-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by February 3, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes identified in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (c)(4) of this AD, certificated in any category, all
manufacturer serial numbers.
    (1) Airbus Model A318-111 and -112 airplanes.

unless already done.

(g) Inspection

    Within 3 months after the effective date of this AD: Do a
detailed inspection of the aft engine mount retainers for surface
finish (dull or bright), and for cracks and failure, in accordance
with Section 4.2.2, ``Inspection Requirements,'' of Airbus Alert
Operators Transmission (AOT) A71N001-12, Rev. 2, dated February 27,
2013, except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD.

(h) Exception to Paragraph (g) of This AD

    The actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD are not
required to be done on airplanes with manufacturer serial numbers
4942 and higher, provided a review of maintenance records verifies
that no aft engine mount retainers have been replaced since first
flight of the airplane.

(i) Repetitive Inspection and Retainer Replacement for Dull Finish
Retainers

    If, during the detailed inspection required by paragraph (g) of
this AD, any installed dull finish aft engine mount retainer is
found without cracks and not failed: Do the actions specified in
paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Within 25 flight cycles after doing the actions required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, repeat the detailed inspection specified
in paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (2) Within 50 flight cycles after doing the first detailed
inspection specified in paragraph (g) of this AD: Replace all dull
finish retainers with a new or serviceable retainer, in accordance
with Section <IP_ADDRESS>, ``Replacement Procedure,'' of Airbus AOT
A71N001-12, Rev. 2, dated February 27, 2013.

(j) Replacement of Cracked or Failed Retainers

    If, during any detailed inspection specified in paragraph (g) of
this AD, any installed aft engine mount retainer is found cracked or
failed: Before further flight, replace all affected aft engine mount
retainers with a new or serviceable retainer, in accordance with
Section 4.2.3, ``Replacement Procedure,'' of Airbus AOT A71N001-12,
Rev. 2, dated February 27, 2013.

(k) Parts Prohibition

    As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install any
aft engine mount retainer with a dull finish on any airplane. The
instructions of Airbus AOT A71N001-12, Revision 2, dated February
27, 2013; or the Accomplishment Instructions of Goodrich Service
Bulletin RA32071-146, Rev. 2, dated July 26, 2012; can be used to
verify the correct finish of the part.

(l) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for actions required by
paragraphs (g), (i), and (j) of this AD, if those actions were
performed before the effective date of this AD using Airbus AOT
A71N001-12, Rev. 1, dated August 9, 2012.

(m) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56360; File No. SR-Phlx-2007-61]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto, Relating to Fees for U.S.
Dollar-Settled Foreign Currency Options

 September 6, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on August 15, 2007, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.
(``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been substantially
prepared by the Phlx. On August 30, 2007, the Exchange filed Amendment
No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as amended,
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 Phlx proposes to amend its Summary of Index Option and U.S.
Dollar-Settled Foreign Currency Option Charges (``Fee Schedule'') to
cap U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency option transaction charges
applicable to customer executions at 10,000 contracts per trade per
side. Specifically, on the Exchange's Fee Schedule, the option
transaction charge applicable to customer executions for U.S. dollar-
settled foreign currency option transactions would be amended to add
the following: Subject to a maximum charge of $4,000 per trade per side
for U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency transactions. This change
reflects the proposed 10,000 contract cap multiplied by the current
$.40 per contract charge. This proposal is scheduled to become
effective for trades settling on or after August 16, 2007.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.Phlx.com/exchange/phlx_rule_fil.html, at 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 Phlx 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 Phlx 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 this proposal is to raise revenue by attracting to
the Exchange large U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency option trades.
By adopting a maximum option transaction charge of $4,000 per trade per
side as described above, the Exchange believes that additional order
flow may be directed to the Exchange. Specifically, the Exchange seeks
to increase the number of U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency option
customer transactions on the Exchange. The Exchange began trading U.S.
dollar-settled foreign currency options in January 2007 and seeks to
increase business in this product line.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 54989 (December 21,
2006), 71 FR 78506 (December 29, 2006) (SR-Phlx-2006-34) and 56034
(July 10, 2007), 72 FR 38853 (July 16, 2007) (SR-Phlx-2007-34).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Fee Schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that
it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees and other charges
among Exchange members. The Exchange believes that it is equitable to
apply the proposed cap on customer U.S. dollar-settled foreign currency
option transaction charges because once the cap is reached, no
additional option transaction charges would be assessed on these types
of transactions, which should, in turn, promote this type of business
at the Exchange.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \6\ Similarly, the Exchange does not charge customer option
comparison charges on customer executions pursuant to the Exchange's
Summary of Equity Option and RUT and RMN Charges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing rule change establishes or changes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \8\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed
rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 19b-4(f)(2).
    \9\ For purposes of calculating the 60-day period within which
the Commission may summarily abrogate the proposed rule change, the
Commission considers the period to commence on August 30, 2007, the
date on which the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

in revenue service. Before making certain changes to an FRA-certified
PTC system or the associated FRA-approved PTCSP, a host railroad must
submit, and obtain FRA's approval of, an RFA to its PTCSP under 49 CFR
236.1021.
    Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA's regulations provide that FRA will
publish a notice in the Federal Register and invite public comment in
accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an RFA includes a request for
approval of a material modification of a signal and train control
system. Accordingly, this notice informs the public that, on July 26,
2022, Amtrak submitted an RFA to its PTCSP for its Advanced Civil Speed
Enforcement System II (ACSES II) and that RFA is available in Docket
No. FRA-2010-0029.
    Interested parties are invited to comment on Amtrak's RFA to its
PTCSP by submitting written comments or data. During FRA's review of
this railroad's RFA, FRA will consider any comments or data submitted
within the timeline specified in this notice and to the extent
practicable, without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary
modifications to a PTC system. See 49 CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR
236.1011(e). Under 49 CFR 236.1021, FRA maintains the authority to
approve, approve with conditions, or deny a railroad's RFA to its PTCSP
at FRA's sole discretion.

Privacy Act Notice

    In accordance with 49 CFR 211.3, FRA solicits comments from the
public to better inform its decisions. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to https://www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of
records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the privacy notice of regulations.gov. To facilitate
comment tracking, we encourage commenters to provide their name, or the

    a. Type of Application: Small Hydro Exemption from Licensing.
    b. Project No.: P-12574-002.
    c. Date Filed: June 18, 2007, and supplemented on July 18, 2007,
pursuant to Order Denying Rehearing (119 FERC ] 61,159).
    d. Applicant: Santiam Water Control District.
    e. Name of Project: Stayton Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: On the Stayton Ditch near the Town of Stayton, Marion
County, Oregon. The project would not occupy United States land.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of
1978, 16 U.S.C. 2705, 2708.
    h. Applicant Contact: Larry Trosi, Manager, Santiam Water Control
District, 284 East Water Street, Stayton, OR 97383,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    i. FERC Contact: Tom Dean,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    j. Deadline for filing motions to intervene, protests, and scoping
comments: 60 days from the issuance date of this notice.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each
person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an
intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to
the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
    Motions to intervene, protests, and scoping comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
and the instructions on the Commission's Web site (http://www.ferc.gov)
under the ``eFiling'' link.
    k. This application has been accepted for filing but is not ready
for environmental analysis at this time.
    l. Santiam Water Control District proposes to restore operation to
the Stayton Project which was operated by Pacific Power until 1992. As
proposed, the Stayton Project would consist of: (1) The existing power
canal headgate structure and fish ladder, and the fish screen and 28-
inch-diameter, 600-foot-long juvenile fish bypass return pipe located
near the upstream end of Stayton Ditch; (2) the 0.5-mile-long Stayton
Ditch; (3) the existing 24-foot-long by 12-foot-high intake structure
equipped with 24.6-foot-long by 12-foot-high and 3-inch bar spacing
trashracks located just upstream of the powerhouse; (4) the existing
40-foot-long V-type spillway weir and integral powerhouse containing a
single 600-kilowatt generating unit; (5) the existing 24-foot-long by
12-foot-high outlet structure located just downstream of the
powerhouse; (6) the existing 0.5-mile-long tailrace channel and
tailrace fish barrier; (7) the existing 100-foot-long, 2,400-kilovolt
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The project would
have an average annual generation of 4,320 megawatt-hours.
    Additional project facilities may include the existing: (1) Spill
dam and fish ladder located on the North Channel of the Santiam River
just upstream of the power canal headgate structure; and (2) the berm
habitat channel located between the powerhouse and tailrace fish
barrier.
    m. Pre-filing Consultation: The tendering notice issued on August
7, 2007 stated our intent to use the consultation that has occurred on
this project for the previous conduit exemption application
supplemented with National Environmental Policy Act scoping as a means
to conduct further consultation with resource agencies and interested
entities. Therefore, we noted our intent to waive pre-filing
consultation sections 4.38(a)-(g) which requires, among other things,
holding a joint meeting and distributing and consulting on a draft
exemption application.
    In letters filed on August 10 and 17, 2007, the U.S. Department of
the Interior and Oregon Water Resources Department, respectively, noted
numerous omissions in the exemption application that were identified in
2005 but were not addressed, and recommended additional consultation to
assist in developing a complete exemption application. Since we will be
conducting scoping, additional consultation will be afforded.
Therefore, we are waiving sections 4.38(a)-(g) of the pre-filing
consultation regulations.
    n. Scoping.
    Commission staff are soliciting comments, recommendations, and
information, on the Scoping Document (SD) issued on February 7, 2008.
Copies of the application and SD outlining the subject areas to be
addressed in the EA were distributed to the parties on the Commission's
mailing list and the applicant's distribution list. Copies of the SD
may be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, call 1-866-
208-3676 or for TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>. A copy of the application is also
available for inspection and reproduction at the

address in item h above. You may also register online at http://
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via e-mail of
new filings and issuances related to this or other pending projects.
For assistance, contact FERC Online Support.
    o. Commission staff intend to prepare a single Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Stayton Project in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act. The EA will consider both site-specific and
cumulative environmental impacts and reasonable alternatives to the
proposed action.
    p. Anyone may submit a protest or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.210, 385.211, and 385.214. In determining the appropriate
action to take, the Commission will consider all protests filed, but
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any protests
or motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified
deadline date for the particular application.
    All filings must: (1) Bear in all capital letters the title
``PROTEST'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE;'' (2) set forth in the heading
the name of the applicant and the project number of the application to
which the filing responds; (3) furnish the name, address, and telephone
number of the person protesting or intervening; and (4) otherwise
comply with the requirements of 18 CFR 385.2001 through 385.2005.

applicant. A copy of any protest or motion to intervene must be served
upon each representative of the applicant specified in the particular
application.

facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1075]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On October 27, 2009, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
proposed rule that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides
corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information
published at 74 FR 55168. The table provided here represents the
flooding sources, location of referenced elevations, effective and
modified elevations, and communities affected for Peoria County,
Illinois, and Incorporated Areas. Specifically, it addresses the
following flooding sources: Dry Run Creek, Illinois River, and Kickapoo
Creek.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 26, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-
1075, to Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-
4064 or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER> or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating
in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are
used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.

Corrections

    In the proposed rule published at 74 FR 55168, in the October 27,
2009, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Peoria County,
Illinois, and Incorporated Areas'' addressed the flooding source
Illinois River. That table contained inaccurate information as to the
location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation in
feet, or communities affected for that flooding source. In addition, it
did not include the flooding sources Dry Run Creek and Kickapoo Creek.
In this notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing the accurate
information, to address these prior errors. The information provided
below should be used in lieu of that previously published.
