modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time
without hearing at our discretion.

ACTION: Announcement of new task assignment for the Chemical
Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC); teleconference meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard is issuing a new task to the Chemical
Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC). The U.S. Coast Guard is
asking CTAC to help the agency identify existing regulations, guidance,
and collections of information (that fall within the scope of the
Committee's charter) for possible repeal, replacement, or modification.
This tasking is in response to the issuance of Executive Orders 13771,
``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs; 13777,
``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda;'' and 13783, ``Promoting
Energy Independence and Economic Growth.'' The full Committee is
scheduled to meet by teleconference on August 2, 2017, to discuss this
tasking. This teleconference will be open to the public. The U.S. Coast

Guard will consider CTAC recommendations as part of the process of
identifying regulations, guidance, and collections of information to be
repealed, replaced, or modified pursuant to the three Executive Orders
discussed above.

DATES: The full Committee is scheduled to meet by teleconference on
August 2, 2017, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT. Please note that this
teleconference may adjourn early if the Committee has completed its
business.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

New Task to the Committee

    The U.S. Coast Guard is issuing a new task to CTAC to provide
recommendations on whether existing regulations, guidance, and
information collections (that fall within the scope of the Committee's
charter) should be repealed, replaced, or modified. CTAC will then
provide advice and recommendations on the assigned task and submit a
final recommendation report to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Background

    On January 30, 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13771,
``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.'' Under that
Executive Order, for every one new regulation issued, at least two
prior regulations must be identified for elimination, and the cost of
planned regulations must be prudently managed and controlled through a
budgeting process. On February 24, 2017, the President issued Executive
Order 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda.'' That Executive
Order directs agencies to take specific steps to identify and alleviate
unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people. On March
28, 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13783, ``Promoting
Energy Independence and Economic Growth.'' Executive Order 13783
promotes the clean and safe development of our Nation's vast energy
resources, while at the same time avoiding agency actions that
unnecessarily encumber energy production.
    When implementing the regulatory offsets required by Executive
Order 13771, each agency head is directed to prioritize, to the extent
permitted by law, those regulations that the agency's Regulatory Reform
Task Force identifies as outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective in
accordance with Executive Order 13777. As part of this process to
comply with all three Executive Orders, the U.S. Coast Guard is
reaching out through multiple avenues to interested individuals to
gather their input about what regulations, guidance, and information
collections, they believe may need to be repealed, replaced, or
modified. On June 8, 2017, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a general notice
in the Federal Register requesting comments from interested individuals
regarding their recommendations, 82 FR 26632. In addition to this
general solicitation, the U.S. Coast Guard also wants to leverage the
expertise of its Federal Advisory Committees and is issuing similar
tasks to each of its Committees. A detailed discussion of each of the
Executive orders and information on where U.S. Coast Guard regulations,
guidance, and information collections are found is in the June 8th
notice.

The Task

    CTAC is tasked to:

    Provide input to the U.S. Coast Guard on all existing
regulations, guidance, and information collections that fall within
the scope of the Committee's charter.
    1. One or more subcommittees/working groups, as needed, will be
established to work on this tasking in accordance with the Committee
charter and bylaws. The subcommittee(s) shall terminate upon the
approval and submission of a final recommendation to the U.S. Coast
Guard from the parent Committee.
    2. Review regulations, guidance, and information collections and
provide recommendations whether an existing rule, guidance, or
information collection should be repealed, replaced or modified. If
the Committee recommends modification, please provide specific
recommendations for how the regulation, guidance, or information
collection should be modified. Recommendations should include an
explanation on how and to what extent repeal, replacement or
modification will reduce costs or burdens to industry and the extent
to which risks to health or safety would likely increase.
    a. Identify regulations, guidance, or information collections
that potentially impose the following types of burden on the
industry:
    i. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing
administrative burdens on the industry.
    ii. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing
burdens in the development or use of domestically produced energy
resources. ``Burden,'' for the purposes of compliance with Executive
Order 13783, means ``to unnecessarily obstruct, delay, curtail, or
otherwise impose significant costs on the siting, permitting,
production, utilization, transmission, or delivery of energy
resources.''
    b. Identify regulations, guidance, or information collections
that potentially impose the following types of costs on the
industry:
    i. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing
costs that are outdated (such as due to technological advancement),
or are no longer necessary.
    ii. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing
costs which are no longer enforced as written or which are
ineffective.
    iii. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing
costs tied to reporting or recordkeeping requirements that impose
burdens that exceed benefits. Explain why the reporting or
recordkeeping requirement is overly burdensome, unnecessary, or how
it could be modified.
    c. Identify regulations, guidance, and information collections
that the Committee believes have led to the elimination of jobs or
inhibits job creation within a particular industry.
    3. All regulations, guidance, and information collections, or
parts thereof, recommended by the Committee should be described in
sufficient detail (by section, paragraph, sentence, clause, etc.) so
that it can readily be identified. Data (quantitative or
qualitative) should be provided to support and illustrate the
impact, cost, or burden, as

applicable, for each recommendation. If the data is not readily
available, the Committee should include information as to how such
information can be obtained either by the Committee or directly by
the Coast Guard.

Public Participation

    All meetings associated with this tasking, both full Committee
meetings and subcommittee/working groups, are open to the public. A
public oral comment period will be held during the August 2, 2017,
teleconference. Public comments or questions will be taken at the
discretion of the Designated Federal Officer; commenters are requested
to limit their comments to 3 minutes. Please contact the individual
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, to register as a
commenter. Subcommittee meetings held in association with this tasking
will be announced as they are scheduled through notices posted to
http://homeport.uscg.mil/CTAC and uploaded as supporting documents in
the electronic docket for this action, [USCG-2017-0657], at
Regulations.gov.

without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) The
existing 421-foot-long, 21-foot-high Pittsfield Mill dam, which is
owned by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services; (2) an
existing 20 acre impoundment with 112 acre-feet of storage capacity at
the spillway crest elevation of 474.5 feet above mean sea level (MSL);
(3) an existing intake structure; (4) an existing 9-foot-diameter, 200-
foot-long steel penstock; (5) an existing powerhouse containing an

eligible costs, with the exception of projects that meet the
eligibility criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage
under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13561-000]

Phoenix Management, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

November 16, 2009.
    On July 30, 2009, Phoenix Management, LLC filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Adler Canyon Pumped
Storage Hydroelectric Project, located in Maricopa County, in the state
of Arizona. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to
grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during
the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land disturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express
permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following developments:
    (1) A proposed upper and lower intake structure; (2) a proposed
1,900-foot deep, 24-foot diameter vertical shaft; (3) a power tunnel;
(4) an upper reservoir having a surface area of 72 acres and a storage
capacity of 4,100 acre-feet and maximum water surface elevation of
4,580 feet mean sea level; (5) a lower reservoir having a surface area
of 75 acres and a storage capacity of 4,700 acre-feet and maximum water
surface elevation of 2,640 feet mean sea level; (6) a proposed
powerhouse containing nine new pump/turbine generating units having an
installed capacity of 900-megawatts; (7) a proposed 200-foot by 200-
foot switchyard; (8) a tailrace; (9) a well; (10) a proposed 300-feet-
long, 345-kilovolt transmission line; and (11) appurtenant facilities.
The proposed development would have an average annual generation of
2,300 gigawatt-hours.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2016-0723]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway,
St. Augustine, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is withdrawing its advance notice of proposed
rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning the Bridge of Lions (SR A1A) across the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 777.9, at St. Augustine, Florida.
The City of St. Augustine proposed to modify the bridge operating
schedule to alleviate vehicle traffic congestion. However, the Coast
Guard has determined it would be inappropriate to move forward with a
notice of proposed rulemaking. The Coast Guard believes placing
additional restrictions to the bridge would add additional hazards to
mariners and effect the safe navigation of vessels awaiting bridge
openings.

DATES: The notice of proposed rulemaking published on March 15, 2017
(82 FR 13785), is withdrawn on October 26, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this document, USCG-2016-0723 is available at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background Information and Regulatory History

    On March 15, 2017, the Coast Guard published an ANPRM entitled
``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, St.
Augustine, FL'' in the Federal Register (82 FR 13785). The advance
notice of proposed rulemaking sought comments and information
concerning a request from the City of St. Augustine to change the
operating schedule for the Bridge of Lions across the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, St. Augustine, Florida amending the twice an
hour operating schedule to a 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. period. The City of St.
Augustine was concerned that vehicle traffic was becoming exponentially
worse with each passing season and that the current operating schedule
was contributing to vehicle traffic backups.

Withdrawal

    The Coast Guard received 386 comments, of those, 62 comments were
duplicate entries, 204 comments were in favor for the requested change
and 120 were against the requested change. The comments in favor of the
change generally felt the additional restrictions to the bridge would
help alleviate vehicular traffic on or around the bridge and the
surrounding area. For the comments that opposed the change, by and
large, the main concern was safety of mariners due to strong tidal
currents and the high level of vessel activities occurring in the
waters near the bridge. Strong currents, the close proximity of mooring
fields and marinas would hamper the ability to ``keep on station''
while waiting for a bridge opening. Also, sailing vessels waiting for
bridge opening would be required to be moving constantly all the while
avoiding other waiting vessel traffic. The requested change to the
operating schedule would extend the twice an hour draw opening schedule
by an additional three hours into the evening. Concern was expressed by
having to wait for an opening in darkness, stating this would cause
additional hazards due to vessels already underway, traffic lights
against the city and vehicular lights adjacent to the waterway. The
Coast Guard acknowledges all of the above safety concerns, and for that
reason, we find that any benefits of the possible additional
restrictions to the Bridge of Lions do not outweigh the additional
hazards to vessels and mariners transiting the area around the bridge.
The current regulation as written in 33 CFR 117.261(d) will remain in
effect.

    Dated: October 5, 2017.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Seventh Coast Guard

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No. FAA-2023-2211]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection:
Identification of Foreign-Registered Civil Unmanned Aircraft Operating
in the United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves identifying information regarding
foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft operated in the airspace of
the United States. The information to be collected will be used to
associate a foreign-registered unmanned aircraft operating in the
United States with Remote Identification to the unmanned aircraft
operator.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 5, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into
search field)
    By mail: Benjamin Walsh, FAA Flight Standards Service, Emerging
Technologies Division, AFS-700, 800 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC
20591

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benjamin Walsh by email at:
[email protected]; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0782.
    Title: Identification of Foreign-Registered Civil Unmanned Aircraft
Operating in the United States.
    Form Numbers: N/A.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The unmanned aircraft remote identification operating
requirements in title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 89 apply to
persons operating foreign civil unmanned aircraft in the United States.
The FAA must be able to correlate the remote identification message
elements broadcast by foreign civil unmanned aircraft operated in the
United States against information that helps FAA and law enforcement
identify a person responsible for the operation of the foreign civil
unmanned aircraft. Where unmanned aircraft are registered in a foreign
jurisdiction, the FAA may not have access to information regarding the
unmanned aircraft or its registered owner. Thus, the FAA is allowing a
person to operate foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft with
remote identification in the United States only if the person submits a
notice of identification to the Administrator in accordance with title
14 Code of Federal Regulations Sec.  89.130. The notice can be
submitted online using the notice of identification form in FAA Drone
Zone (https://faadronezone.faa.gov/). The

notice includes the following information to allow FAA to associate an
unmanned aircraft to a responsible person:
    (1) An indication whether the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States is an
organization or an individual.
    (2) The name of the person operating the foreign registered civil
unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if applicable, the
person's authorized representative.
    (3) The physical address of the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the physical address for the person's authorized
representative. If the operator or authorized representative does not
receive mail at the physical address, a mailing address must also be
provided.
    (4) The telephone number(s) where the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the person's authorized representative can be reached while
in the United States.
    (5) The email address of the person operating the foreign
registered civil unmanned aircraft in the United States, and, if
applicable, the email address of the person's authorized
representative.
    (6) An indication whether the unmanned aircraft is a standard
remote identification unmanned aircraft or has a remote identification
broadcast module.
    (7) The unmanned aircraft manufacturer and model name.
    (8) The serial number of the unmanned aircraft or remote
identification broadcast module.
    (8) The country of registration of the unmanned aircraft.
    (10) The registration number.
    Once a person submits an online notice of identification, the FAA
will issue a confirmation of identification. A person operating a
foreign-registered unmanned aircraft in the United States must maintain
the confirmation of identification at the unmanned aircraft's control
station and must produce it when requested by the FAA or a law
enforcement officer.
    The holder of a confirmation of identification must ensure the
information provided under Sec.  89.130(a) remains accurate and is
updated prior to operating a foreign registered civil unmanned aircraft
with remote identification in the United States. The confirmation of
identification expires after one year and can be cancelled or renewed
online at FAA Drone Zone.
    Respondents: Operators of foreign-registered civil unmanned
aircraft with remote identification, as needed (prior to operating in
the airspace of the United States) are mandated to report information
to this collection. The FAA uses information provided by operators of
foreign-registered civil unmanned aircraft operating in the airspace of
the United States to identify those aircraft.
    Frequency: As needed prior to operation of a foreign-registered
civil unmanned aircraft in the United States.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 minutes per response.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6 minutes per respondent, 797 hours
per year total for all respondents.

May 15, 2019.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on May 9, 2019, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I
and II, below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 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 its Price List to modify the (1)
charges for transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange; (2)
requirements for credits related to executions of orders sent to Floor
brokers that add liquidity on the Exchange; and (3) remove Tier

fee for securities traded pursuant to Unlisted Trading Privileges
(``UTP'') (Tapes B and C). The Exchange proposes to implement these
changes to its Price List effective May 9, 2019. The proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's website at www.nyse.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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to modify the (1)
charges for transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange; (2)
requirements for credits related to executions of orders sent to Floor
brokers that add liquidity on the Exchange; and (3) Remove Tier fee for
UTP securities.
    The Exchange proposes to implement these changes to its Price List
effective May 9, 2019.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange originally filed to amend the Price List on May
1, 2019 (SR-NYSE-2019-23) and withdrew such filing on May 9, 2019.
This filing replaces SR-NYSE-2019-23 in its entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charges for Removing Liquidity
    Currently, the Exchange charges a fee of $0.00275 for non-Floor
broker transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange, including
those of DMMs. The Exchange also currently charges $0.00280 for non-
Floor broker transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange by
member organizations with an Adding ADV,\5\ excluding any liquidity
added by a DMM, that is more than 250,000 ADV on the NYSE in Tape A
Securities and less than 500,000 ADV on the NYSE in Tape B and Tape C
securities combined during the billing month. Finally, the Exchange
currently charges $0.0030 for non-Floor broker transactions that remove
liquidity from the Exchange by member organizations with an Adding ADV,
excluding any liquidity added by a DMM, that is less than 250,000 ADV
on the NYSE during the billing month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Footnote 2 to the Price List defines ADV as ``average daily
volume'' and ``Adding ADV'' as ADV that adds liquidity to the
Exchange during the billing month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the current configuration, the effective base rate is $0.0030
because member organizations with an Adding ADV, excluding liquidity
added by a DMM, that is less than 250,000 ADV in Tape A Securities
during the billing month would not qualify for the $0.00275 rate, which
applies unless one of the charges set forth immediately below it in the
Price List applies. The Exchange proposes a reconfiguration to reflect
the current $0.0030 base rate and a fee of $0.00275 for non-Floor
broker transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange by member
organizations with an Adding ADV, excluding any liquidity added by a
DMM, of at least 250,000 ADV on the NYSE in Tape A Securities and at
least 500,000 ADV on the NYSE in Tape B and Tape C securities combined
during the billing month. The charge for non-Floor broker transactions
that remove liquidity from the Exchange by member organizations with an
Adding ADV, excluding any liquidity added by a DMM, that is at least
250,000 ADV on the NYSE in Tape A Securities and less than 500,000 ADV
on the NYSE in Tape B and Tape C securities combined during the billing
month would increase from $0.00280 to $0.00285.
Floor Broker Credits for Orders That Add Liquidity to the Exchange
    The Exchange currently provides a per share credit for executions
of orders sent to a Floor broker for representation on the Exchange
when adding liquidity to the Exchange if the member organization has an
ADV that adds liquidity to the Exchange by a Floor broker during the
billing month that is at least equal to certain thresholds. In order to
qualify for a credit of $0.0020 per share under the first threshold,
the member organization must have an ADV that adds liquidity to the
Exchange by a Floor broker during the billing month that is at least
equal to .07% of Tape A CADV. In order to qualify for a credit of
$0.0022 per share under the second threshold, a member organization
must have an ADV that adds liquidity to the Exchange by a Floor broker
during the billing month that is at least equal to .33% of Tape A CADV.
    The Exchange proposes an intermediate third threshold designated
(b) that would provide a credit of $0.0021 per share for a member
organization must have an ADV that adds liquidity to the Exchange by a
Floor broker during the billing month that is at least equal to .25% of
Tape A CADV. The current second threshold would become item (c).
Remove Tier Fee for UTP Securities
    For UTP Securities, the Exchange currently charges a per tape fee
of $0.0028 per share to remove liquidity from the Exchange for member
organizations with an Adding ADV of at least 50,000 shares for that
respective tape. The Exchange proposes to charge a per tape fee of
$0.00285 per share to remove liquidity from the Exchange for member
organizations with an Adding ADV of at least 50,000 shares for that
respective tape.
    The proposed changes are not otherwise intended to address any
other issues, and the Exchange is not aware of any problems that member
organizations would have in complying with the proposed change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change 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, because it provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and
other persons using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate
between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Charges for Removing Liquidity
    The Exchange believes that reconfiguring the charges for non-Floor
broker transactions that remove liquidity from the Exchange and
introducing a slightly tiered rate of $0.00285 is reasonable, equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory, as follows.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rate change for member
organizations will incentivize submission of additional liquidity in
Tape B and Tape C securities to a public exchange to qualify for the
lower fee of $0.00275 for removing liquidity, thereby promoting price
discovery and transparency and enhancing order execution opportunities
for member organizations. The Exchange also believes that the proposed
change is equitable because it would apply to all similarly situated
member organizations that add liquidity in Tape B or Tape C securities.
The proposed change also is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because it would be

consistent with the applicable rate on other marketplaces. For example,
Nasdaq PSX provides a fee per share for removing liquidity, $0.0028 in
Tape A and B securities and $0.0029 in Tape C securities, if a firm
removes 0.065% or more of Consolidated Volume; otherwise, Nasdaq PSX
imposes a charge of $0.0030 per share for removing liquidity.\8\ The
Exchange notes that since the requirement is for Tape B and Tape C
securities combined, member organizations can meet the requirement by
adding liquidity in either Tape B or Tape C securities, or both. The
Exchange further notes that other marketplaces have tiers with adding
requirements in specific tapes to qualify for a rate in securities on
another tape. For example, to be eligible for a $0.0020 adding credit
in Tape C securities on Nasdaq, firms are required to average a minimum
of 250,000 shares added per day in Tape A or Tape B securities
(combined); otherwise, the Tape C credit for adding liquidity is
$0.0015.\9\

    \9\ See https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=PriceListTrading2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Floor Broker Credits for Orders That Add Liquidity to the Exchange
    The Exchange believes that the changes proposed additional tiered
credit for executions of orders sent to a Floor broker for
representation on the Exchange is reasonable because it would encourage
additional displayed liquidity on the Exchange. The proposed change
would also encourage the execution of such transactions on a public
exchange, thereby promoting price discovery and transparency. The
Exchange believes the proposed change is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it would continue to encourage member
organizations to send orders to the Floor for execution, thereby
contributing to robust levels of liquidity on the Floor, which benefits
all market participants. The proposed change is also equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because those member organizations that make
significant contributions to market quality and that contribute to
price discovery by providing higher volumes of liquidity would continue
to be allocated a higher credit. The Exchange believes that any member
organizations that may currently be qualifying under the lower of the
two existing thresholds, or 0.0007%, could qualify for the proposed
intermediate threshold of 0.0025% based on the levels of activity sent
to Floor brokers. The proposed change also is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because all similarly situated member
organizations would pay the same rate, as is currently the case, and
because all member organizations would be eligible to qualify for the
rate by satisfying the related thresholds.
Remove Tier Credit for UTP Securities
    The Exchange believes that proposed Tier 1 charge of $0.00285 per
share in UTP Securities for member organizations with an Adding ADV of
at least 50,000 shares that removes liquidity from the Exchange is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the
proposed fees are in line with the fees the Exchange currently charges
for removing liquidity from the Exchange in Tape A securities and the
proposed changes thereto described above.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See pages 5-6 of the current NYSE Price List, available at
https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/nyse/NYSE_Price_List.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that it is subject to significant competitive
forces, as described below in the Exchange's statement regarding the
burden on competition.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal
is consistent with the Act.

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\11\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. Instead, the Exchange believes that the proposed
changes would foster liquidity provision and stability in the
marketplace, thereby promoting price discovery and transparency and
enhancing order execution opportunities for member organizations. In
this regard, the Exchange believes that the transparency and
competitiveness of attracting additional executions on an exchange
market would encourage competition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be more
favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust
its fees and rebates to remain competitive with other exchanges and
with alternative trading systems that have been exempted from
compliance with the statutory standards applicable to exchanges.
Because competitors are free to modify their own fees and credits in
response, and because market participants may readily adjust their
order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which
fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is
extremely limited. As a result of all of these considerations, the
Exchange does not believe that the proposed changes will impair the
ability of member organizations or competing order execution venues to
maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets.

Juveniles appear to prefer lower salinities (< 32 ppt), while ovigerous females prefer salinities > 14.6 ppt. Juveniles and nonovigerous adults tolerate temperatures of 5.2 21.3 degrees C.; ovigerous females perfer temps of 6.8 19.2 degrees C. Salinity and temperature influence this species' distribution significantly. High salinities retard the movements of juveniles to lower estuarine areas, while high temperatures in the summer increase movements to upper estuarine areas. Low salinities probably retard egg development and salinities < 12 ppt. may reduce larval survival. Optimum conditions for adults are salinities of 18 20% and temperatures of 4.5 17.0 degrees C.* 01*

Migrations and Movements: A " spawning migration" occurs during the reproductive periods; adult females and males move to lower, more saline areas of estuaries ( primarily March to July). Juveniles move up estuaries during the summer to rear in lower salinity, higher temperatures araeas. As they grow and mature, bay shrimp move to lower, more saline areas. In the fall and winter, many adults move to near the mouth of estuaries and nearshore areas outside estuaries. Juveniles and adults undergo nocturnal vertical migrations to feed. Larvae appear to be advected seaward by river flow.* 01*

ANIMAL/ PLANT SPECIES ASSOCIATIONS  Predation: The bay shrimp is an important prey for the striped bass, brown smoothhound ( Mustelus henlei), green sturgeon ( A. medirostris), white sturgeon ( A. transmontanus), Pacific staghorn sculpin ( Leptocottus armatus), Pacific tomcod ( Microgadus proximus), prickly sculpin ( Cottus asper), sand sole ( Psettichthys melanostictus), waterfowl, habor seal ( Phoca vitulina), and the Dungeness crab ( Cancer magister). * 01*

Environment Associations  2 ( DRAFT)  Life History Species Bay shrimp Species Id M070016 Date 26 AUG 96 LIFE HISTORY Reproduction Mode: The bay shrimp is gonochoristic and oviparous. Sperm is stored internally in the female; eggs are fertilized when extruded and brooded externally on the female's body.* 01*

Mating/ Spawning: Although gravid females may be found year round, usually only two spawning periods exist ( sometimes only one depending on the estuary). In Yaquina Bay Oregon, spawning occurs from December to March ( older females), and from April to August ( first time and repeat spawners). The second spawning is usually larger ( more spawners present for a longer period) than the first. In San Francisco Bay, only a single extended spawning period was thought to exist, with a peak from March to September. However, a bimodal reproductive schedule appears to occur here also; during the first period, gravid females reside primarily off the mouth of San Francisco Bay. A " spawning migration" occurs with females and males moving to deeper, higher salinity areas ( usually > 21 ppt), depending on water file:/// G|/ OW/ OW% 20Docket% 201/ EDOCKETS/ Electr... 2 0049/ second% 20submission/ 5 2372/ 5 2372a. htm ( 9 of 14) [ 4/ 2/ 2003 3: 32: 02 PM] file:/// G|/ OW/ OW% 20Docket% 201/ EDOCKETS/ Electronic% 20Files% 20fo...

Nearshore areas outside of estuaries are often used by spawning adults during the winter and spring. * 01*

Fecundity: Females from 47.8 67.4 mm total length ( TL) carried 1,923 4,764 eggs per female, with a mean of 3,528. Fecundity of bay shrimp ranged from 1,977 3,103 in Gray's Harbor, Wa., and from 2,499 8,840 in south San Francisco Bay. Fecundity ( Y) was calculated to be Y= 5338.7+ 156.1 TL for shrimp in Yaquina Bay, and log Y= 3.66+ 4.09log( TL) for shrimp in San Francisco Bay.* 01*

Growth and Development:

Egg size and Embryonic Development: Eggs are spherical and 0.60 in diameter. Embryonic development is indirect and external; eggs remain in the female's brood pouch until hatching. Eggs appear to take 8 12 weeks to mature, depending on temperature. Larvae hatched in early spring develop into juveniles by May to July.* 01*

Age and Size of Larvae: Larvae range from 6.0 7.4 mm TL. Larvae undergo 7 larval stages in 21 days at 17.5 degrees C.* 01*

Juvenile Size Range: Juvenile bay shrimp range from 6.0 7.4 mm to about 34 mm TL for males, 48 mm TL for females, however, this may differ between estuaries. After reaching 30 mm TL, growth is estimated to be 2.0 mm/ month. * 01* Age and Size of Adults: Both sexes mature in about 1 1.5 years, with most males reaching maturity at 34 mm TL and females at 48 mm TL or 55 60 mm TL in San Francisco Bay. Males appear to spawn only once, while females may produce 2 broods. Females are 60 mm TL in 1.5 years, males 50 52 mm TL after 1 year; females > 62 mm TL are rare in Yaquina Bay, but are common off the Columbia River. The largest size reported is 110 mm TL off the Columbia River. Females may live 2 2.5 years and males about 1.5 years.* 01*

The bay shrimp is one of the most abundant organisms entrained during dredging operations in Pacific Northwest estuaries. Its distribution is also influenced by the availability and abundance of the mysid Neomysis mercedis. Freshwater inflow into estuaries strongly influences this species distribution and abundance. Abiotic conditions during winter and spring off the mouths of estuaries may also influence populations. The bay shrimp is a short lived species that shows large annual fluctuations in abundance and may be highly sensitive to effects of short term estuarine pollution.* 01*

including former title if a change is being made; (2) OMB control
number; (3) summary of the information collection activity; (4)
description of affected public; (5) estimate of total annual reporting
and recordkeeping burden; and (6) frequency of collection. PHMSA will
request a three-year term of approval for each information collection
activity and, when approved by OMB, publish a notice of the approval in
the Federal Register.
    PHMSA requests comments on the following information collections:
    Title: Testing, Inspection, and Marking Requirements for Cylinders.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0022.
    Summary: Requirements in Sec.  173.301 for qualification,
maintenance and use of cylinders require that cylinders be periodically
inspected and retested to ensure continuing compliance with packaging
standards. Information collection requirements address registration of
retesters and marking of cylinders by retesters with their
identification number and retest date following the completion of
required tests. Records showing the results of inspections and retests
must be kept by the cylinder owner or designated agent until expiration
of the retest period or until the cylinder is re-inspected or retested,
whichever occurs first. These requirements are intended to ensure that
retesters have the qualifications to perform tests and to identify to
cylinder fillers and users that cylinders are qualified for continuing
use. Information collection requirements in Sec.  173.303 require that
fillers of acetylene cylinders keep, for at least 30 days, a daily
record of the representative pressure to which cylinders are filled.
    Affected Public: Fillers, owners, users and retesters of reusable
cylinders.

    Title: Hazardous Materials Security Plans.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0612.
    Summary: To assure public safety, shippers and carriers must take
reasonable measures to plan and implement procedures to prevent
unauthorized persons from taking control of, or attacking, hazardous
materials shipments. Part 172 of the HMR requires persons who offer or
transport certain hazardous materials to develop and implement written
plans to enhance the security of hazardous materials shipments. The
security plan requirement applies to shipments of: (1) A highway route-
controlled quantity of a Class 7 (radioactive) material; (2) more than
25 kg (55 lbs) of a Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 (explosive) material; (3)
more than 1 L (1.06 qt) per package of a material poisonous by
inhalation in hazard zone A; (4) a shipment of hazardous materials in a
bulk packaging with a capacity equal to or greater than 13,248 L (3,500
gal) for liquids or gases, or greater than 13.24 cubic meters (468
cubic feet) for solids; (5) a shipment that requires placarding; and
(6) select agents. Select agents are infectious substances identified
by CDC as materials with the potential to have serious consequences for
human health and safety if used illegitimately. A security plan will
enable shippers and carriers to reduce the possibility that a hazardous
materials shipment will be used as a weapon of opportunity by a
terrorist or criminal.
    Affected Public: Shippers and carriers of hazardous materials in
commerce.

    Number of Respondents: 54,999.
    Total Annual Responses: 44,880.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 372,064.
    Frequency of collection: On occasion.
    Title: Subsidiary Hazard Class and Number/Type of Packagings.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0613.
    Summary: The HMR require that shipping papers and emergency
response information accompany each shipment of hazardous materials in

commerce. In addition to the basic shipping description information, we
also require the subsidiary hazard class or subsidiary division
number(s) to be entered in parentheses following the primary hazard
class or division number on shipping papers. This requirement was
originally required only by transportation by vessel. However, the lack
of such a requirement posed problems for motor carriers with regard to
complying with segregation, separation, and placarding requirements, as
well as posing a safety hazard. For example, in the event the motor
vehicle becomes involved in an accident, when the hazardous materials
being transported include a subsidiary hazard such as ``dangerous when
wet'' or a subsidiary hazard requiring more stringent requirements than
the primary hazard, there is no indication of the subsidiary hazards on
the shipping papers and no indication of the subsidiary risks on
placards. Under circumstances such as motor vehicles being loaded at a
dock, labels are not enough to alert hazardous materials employees
loading the vehicles, nor are they enough to alert emergency responders
of the subsidiary risks contained on the vehicles. Therefore, we
require the subsidiary hazard class or subsidiary division number(s) to
be entered on the shipping paper, for purposes of enhancing safety and
international harmonization.
    We also require the number and type of packagings to be indicated
on the shipping paper. This requirement makes it mandatory for shippers
to indicate on shipping papers the numbers and types of packages, such
as drums, boxes, jerricans, etc., being used to transport hazardous
materials by all modes of transportation.
    Shipping papers serve as a principal means of identifying hazardous
materials during transportation emergencies. Firefighters, police, and
other emergency response personnel are trained to obtain the DOT
shipping papers and emergency response information when responding to
hazardous materials transportation emergencies. The availability of
accurate information concerning hazardous materials being transported
significantly improves response efforts in these types of emergencies.
The additional information would aid emergency responders by more
clearly identifying the hazard.
    Affected Public: Shippers and carriers of hazardous materials in
commerce.
