SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65 and approval by
the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to 45 CFR part 11
and by the General Services Administration, FDA is announcing the
renewal of the Board to the NCTR. The Board is a discretionary Federal
advisory committee established to provide advice to the Commissioner.
The Board to the NCTR advises the Commissioner or designee in
discharging responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe
and effective drugs for human use and, as required, any other product

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2023-0031; FRL-10954-02-R5]

Air Plan Approval; Michigan; DTE River Rouge

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
request submitted by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great
Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) on January 12, 2023, and supplemented on April
19, 2023, to revise the Michigan state implementation plan (SIP) for
particulate matter (PM). The revision updates the fugitive dust plan
for the Detroit Edison--River Rouge Power Plant (DTE Energy) located in
River Rouge, Michigan. The facility is no longer in operation and
therefore, the plan eliminates requirements to reflect plant shut down.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective September 22, 2023,
unless EPA receives adverse comments by August 23, 2023. If adverse
comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2023-0031 at https://www.regulations.gov or via email to
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located

outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, please contact
the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
For the full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or
multimedia submissions, and general guidance on making effective
comments, please visit https://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

Engineer, Control Strategies Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604,<PHONE_NUMBER>, [email protected]. The
EPA Region 5 office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, excluding Federal holidays and facility closures due to COVID-
19.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

I. General Information

    On January 12, 2023, EGLE submitted a revision to the fugitive dust
plan (FDP) for DTE Energy River Rouge facility. The original FDP was
approved into the SIP on January 17, 1995 (60 FR 3346), pursuant to
Consent Order No. 9-1993. The purpose of the FDP was to reduce the PM
emissions of fugitive dust from coal handling activities, exposed areas
and storage piles, and vehicle traffic while the facility was in
operation. In 2021, DTE Energy retired their coal-fired boilers, and
thus, no longer functioned as a base-load power plant. In 2022, DTE
Energy no longer served as a coal handling and processing plant for the
steel mill operations at Cleveland-Cliffs in Dearborn and U.S. Steel in
River Rouge.
    In accordance with the stipulation 13.B.(1) of the Consent Order,
DTE Energy may revise the Control Program provided that: (a) DTE Energy
demonstrates, in writing, that the proposed revision does not result in
an increase in the level of fugitive dust or particulate emissions and
submits the demonstration to the EGLE for approval; (b) The revision is
approved.
    The changes to the FDP, as determined by EGLE, will not increase in
the level of fugitive dust emissions at DTE Energy. The facility is
adjusting its FDP to reflect that it has shut down and no longer
necessary to implement the measures needed to address air quality
issues associated with coal handling activities, vehicle traffic, and
retirement of equipment with coal processing. Therefore, no increased
PM emissions will result. Since the plant has ceased operations EGLE
approved the revised FDP for the DTE Energy facility.

II. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving a revision to the FDP for DTE Energy into the
Michigan SIP. The revision to the FDP will not result in an increase in
fugitive dust emissions at the DTE Energy facility.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective September 22,
2023 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by August 23, 2023. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective
September 22, 2023.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Michigan
Consent Order described in section I. of this preamble and set forth in
the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 below. EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these documents generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 5 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated
by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993), 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011), and
14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    EGLE did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as part
of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations
neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did not perform an
EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Due to the nature
of the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a
neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area.
Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there
is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of
E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-
income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 22, 2023. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55273; File No. SR-Phlx-2007-11]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to the Trading Phase Date of Regulation NMS

February 12, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on February 6, 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 and
II, below, which Items have been prepared by the Phlx. The Exchange
filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial'' rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\
which rendered the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Phlx proposes to clarify the operation of XLE, the Exchange's
new equity trading system, and various Phlx Rules in light of the
Commission's extension of the Trading Phase Date of Regulation NMS from
February 5, 2007 until March 5, 2007.\5\ There is no change to Phlx
Rule text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55160 (January 24,
2007), 72 FR 4202 (January 30, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the proposed rule change is to clarify the effect on
XLE and various Phlx Rules of the Commission's extension of the Trading
Phase Date of Regulation NMS from February 5, 2007 until March 5,
2007.\6\ The Trading Phase Date is significant to the Exchange because
that is the ``[f]inal date for full operation of Regulation NMS-
compliant trading systems [by exchanges] that intend to qualify their
quotations for trade-through protection under Rule 611 [during the
roll-out of Regulation NMS].'' \7\ The Phlx intends to qualify its
quotations for trade-through protection under Rule 611 during the roll-
out of Regulation NMS and therefore intends to operate a Regulation
NMS-compliant trading system no later than the Trading Phase Date.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
    \7\ Id. at 4203.
    \8\ See Phlx Rule 160.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A number of Phlx Rules or portions of Rules adopted by Phlx in
connection with XLE were approved with delayed effectiveness by the
Commission until the Trading Phase Date that was in effect at that
time, which was February 5, 2007.\9\ With this proposed rule change,
the Exchange clarifies that the effectiveness of these rules or
portions of rules is tied to the Trading Phase Date, currently March 5,
2007, not to February 5, 2007. The Phlx Rules that are affected by this
clarification include, but are not necessarily limited to the
following: Phlx Rule 1(cc), Definition of Protected Bid, Offer or
Quotation; Phlx Rule 185(b)(2)(C), regarding Intermarket Sweep Orders
(``ISOs''); \10\ Phlx Rule 185(c)(2)(D), regarding IOC Cross Orders
marked by the XLE Participant entering the order as meeting the
requirements of an intermarket sweep order in Regulation NMS Rule
600(b)(30); \11\ Phlx Rule 185(c)(3), regarding IOC Cross Orders marked
Benchmark or Qualified Contingent Trade; \12\ Phlx Rule 185(h),
regarding the ``self-help'' exemption to Rule 611; and Phlx Rule 186,
Locking or Crossing Quotations in NMS Stocks. The Exchange also
clarifies that the use of the term ``Trading Phase Date'' in Phlx Rule
185A means the Trading Phase Date, currently March 5, 2007, not
February 5, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54538 (September 28,
2006), 71 FR 59184 (October 6, 2006) (``XLE Approval Order'').
    \10\ Phlx notes, however, ISOs and IOC Cross Orders marked by
the XLE Participant entering the order as meeting the requirements
of an intermarket sweep order in Regulation NMS Rule 600(b)(30)
currently have a limited effectiveness pursuant to Phlx Rule
185A(b). See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 54788 (November
20, 2006), 71 FR 68877 (November 28, 2006) (SR-Phlx-2006-77) and
54760 (November 15, 2006), 71 FR 67687 (November 22, 2006) (SR-Phlx-
2006-76).
    \11\ See supra note 10.
    \12\ Phlx notes, however, IOC Cross Orders marked Benchmark or
Qualified Contingent Trade for Nasdaq securities currently are
effective pursuant to Phlx Rule 185A(c) and (d). See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 55044 (January 5, 2007), 72 FR 1361
(January 11, 2007) (SR-Phlx-2006-92). In addition, Phlx may file
additional proposed rule change(s) regarding IOC Cross Orders marked
Benchmark or Qualified Contingent Trade for non-Nasdaq securities
before March 5, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the XLE Approval Order noted that the certain features of
XLE would be rolled out in three phases. Phases 1 and 2, concerning
two-sided orders and ``Do Not Route'' orders, are completed. Phase 3,
routing functionally, is currently being rolled out and is scheduled to
be completed before March 5, 2007.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \13\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \14\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public
interest by clarifying the effect on Phlx Rules of the recent extension
of the Trading Phase Date of Regulation NMS from February 5, 2007 until
March 5, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 solicited or received by the Exchange.

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

    Because the foregoing rule (i) does not significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, does not
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, provided that the
Exchange has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file
the proposed rule change at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change or such shorter time as
designated by the Commission, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\ As required under Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) under
the Act,\17\ Phlx provided the Commission with written notice of its
intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description
and text of the proposed rule change, prior to the date of the filing
of the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act
\18\ normally may not become operative prior to 30 days after the date
of filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act \19\ permits
the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay,
which would make the rule change effective and operative upon filing.
The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because the proposed rule change clarifies the effect on Phlx Rules of
the recent extension of the Trading Phase Date of Regulation NMS from
February 5, 2007 until March 5, 2007.\20\ Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposal to be effective and operative upon filing with
the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \20\ For the purposes only of waiving the operative delay for
this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
following formula: Average Burden Hours per Response * $72.00 per
Hour = Average Cost per Response. The hourly cost figure comes from
the FERC average salary ($149,489/year). Commission staff believes
the FERC average salary to be representative wage for industry
respondents.
