SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55246; File No. SR-CBOE-2006-62]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change as
Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto Relating to Its Index Obvious Error
Rule

February 6, 2007.

I. Introduction

    On July 7, 2006, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend CBOE Rule 24.16, which
is the Exchange's rule applicable to the nullification and adjustment
of transactions in index options, options on exchange-traded funds
(``ETFs''), and options on HOLDing Company Depository ReceiptS
(``HOLDRS''). On October 30, 2006, the CBOE submitted Amendment No. 1
to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended, was
published for comment in the Federal Register on December 20, 2006.\3\
The Commission received no comment letters on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change as modified by Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54926 (December 13,
2006), 71 FR 76393.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is proposing to amend Rule 24.16 in order to: (i) re-
define what constitutes an ``obvious price error;'' (ii) provide for a
Market-Maker to Market-Maker adjustment of obvious price errors
(currently such erroneous transactions are subject to nullification);
(iii) eliminate the nullification and adjustments provisions for
erroneous quantity errors; and (iv) make various non-substantive
changes to the text of Rule 24.16.
    Specifically, an ``obvious price error'' would be deemed to have
occurred for series trading with normal bid-ask differentials as
established in CBOE Rule 8.7(b)(iv) when the execution price of a
transaction is above or below the ``fair market value''\4\ of the
option by at

least: $0.125 for options trading under $2; $0.20 for options trading
at or above $2 and up to $5; $0.25 for options trading above $5 and up
to $10; $0.40 for options trading above $10 and up to $20; and $0.50
for options trading above $20. For series trading with bid-ask
differentials that are a multiple of the widths established in Rule
8.7(b)(iv), the prescribed error amount would have the same multiple
applied to the amounts prescribed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Fair market value is defined in Rule 24.16 as the midpoint
of the national best bid and national best offer for the series
(across all exchanges trading the option). In multiply listed
issues, if there are no quotes for comparison purposes, fair market
value shall be determined by Trading Officials. For singly-listed
issues and for transactions occurring as part of the Rapid Opening
System (``ROS trades'') or Hybrid Opening System (``HOSS''), the
Exchange clarified in the proposed rule change that the fair market
value shall be the midpoint of the first quote after the
transaction(s) in question that does not reflect the erroneous
transaction(s).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, the proposal revises the obvious price error provision as
it relates to the handling of transactions involving only CBOE Market-
Makers. Under the current rule, such erroneous price transactions are
nullified. Under the proposal, CBOE-Market-Maker-to-CBOE-Market-Maker
transactions would be subject to adjustment. In applying the proposed
CBOE Market-Maker adjustment provision to index options and options on
ETFs or HOLDRs, the adjustment price would be equal to the fair market
value of the option minus the minimum error amount in the case of an
erroneous sell transaction or the fair market value plus the minimum
error amount in the case of an erroneous buy transaction. If the
adjusted price is not in a multiple of the applicable minimum trading
increment, the adjusted price would be rounded down (up) to the next
price that is a multiple of the applicable minimum trading increment
with respect to an erroneous sell (buy) transaction.
    Third, the proposal would eliminate obvious quantity errors as a
type of transaction that is subject to obvious error review. The
elimination of this provision is consistent with the Exchange's current
rule for equity options, which does not have an obvious error review
for quantity errors.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See CBOE Rule 6.25(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, the proposal would make various non-substantive changes to
CBOE Rule 24.16, such as making cross-reference updates to correspond
to the above-described revisions, changing the title of the rule to
reflect its application to options on ETFs and HOLDRS (currently the
title only references index options), clarifying that fair market value
is to be determined by Exchange Trading Officials in accordance with
the provisions of the definition of fair market value, and making other
technical changes.

III. Discussion

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange \6\ and, in
particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder. Specifically, the Commission finds
that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in
that the proposal promotes just and equitable principles of trade,
prevents fraudulent and manipulative acts, removes impediments to and
perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, protects investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission considers that in most circumstances trades that are
executed between parties should be honored. On rare occasions, the
price of the executed trade indicates an ``obvious error'' may exist,
suggesting that it is unrealistic to expect that the parties to the
trade had come to a meeting of the minds regarding the terms of the
transaction. In the Commission's view, the determination of whether an
``obvious error'' has occurred should be based on specific and
objective criteria and subject to specific and objective procedures.
The revised scale for identifying the minimum error amount for an
obvious price error and the elimination of obvious quantity errors set
out a clear and objective methodology for determining when an obvious
error has occurred. The proposed amendments with respect to obvious
error transactions involving only CBOE Market Makers also establish
specific and objective criteria governing the adjustment of such
trades. In addition, the technical conforming and clarifying changes
made by the proposed rule change, including the clarification with
respect to the role of Trading Officials, should help facilitate
understanding and application of CBOE Rule 24.16. Therefore, the
Commission believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\9\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2006-62), as modified by
Amendment No. 1, be, and it hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,

Background

    Marine Corps combat readiness depends on the continued availability
of ranges and training areas that provide realistic, mission-oriented
training and exercises. Marine Corps training proceeds on a continuum,
from entry-level training of individual Marines in basic military
skills to large-scale exercises involving a Marine Air Ground Task
Force (MAGTF). Currently, the Marine Corps does not have sufficient
range space to conduct a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) level live
fire exercise. Through careful analysis and a series of studies, MCAGCC
Twentynine Palms was identified as the only Marine Corps installation
capable of expansion to the dimensions required to support this level
of exercise. Acquisition of new lands without the requisite special use
airspace (SUA) would not allow for the training events required to
successfully execute this essential exercise. Consequently, a new
restricted area, military operations areas (MOA) and air traffic
control-assigned airspace are being developed as a critical element of
the required expansion to support large scale MEB level exercises and
those supporting building block training events.. The establishment of
temporary restricted area R-2509E, W, and N, will substantially enhance
both the capability and capacity of the MCAGCC Twentynine Palms Range
and Training Areas (RTA) to conduct required training for an MEB large
scale exercise.

The Proposal

    This proposal would establish new temporary restricted areas R-
2509E, R-2509W, and R-2509N for the period from August 7 to August 26,
2017, to accommodate live fire from pistols, rifles, machine guns,
anti-tank weapons, mortars, artillery, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, fixed
wing, and rotary wing training activities including close air support
and live ordnance delivery. This proposed temporary restricted area is
required to effectively deconflict Department of Defense and all other
air

traffic from hazards associated with live fire training.
    Based on impacts mitigation coordinated with the Los Angeles Air
Route Traffic Control Center, the maximum altitude will be FL 220
generally. However, at certain times for a period of 4 hours on 2 days
of the exercise, the maximum altitude will be FL400. R-2509W would have
a ceiling of 8,000 feet MSL and R-2509N would have a ceiling of 16,000
feet MSL. Supersonic flight will not be conducted as part of the above
aviation training activities.
    The times of use for R-2509E, R-2509W, and R-2509N would be by
NOTAM, and activations of R-2509E above FL220 would have the NOTAM
issued 48 hours in advance. Expected usage would be 12 hours per day
for 10 days up to 16,000 feet and 16 hours per day for 6 days up to
FL220.
    The lateral boundaries of the proposed areas would be as follows:
    Temporary R-2509E--Beginning at lat. 34[deg]40'30'' N., long.
116[deg]29'43'' W., to lat. 34[deg]36'00'' N., long. 116[deg]28'03''

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Airborne Supplemental Navigation Equipment Using the Global
Positioning System (GPS)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent to cancel Technical Standard Order (TSO)-
C129a, Airborne Supplemental Navigation Equipment Using the Global
Positioning System (GPS), and request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the FAA's intent to cancel TSO-C129a,
Airborne Supplemental Navigation Equipment Using the Global Positioning
System (GPS). The effect of the cancelled TSO will result in no new
TSO-C129a design or production approvals. However, cancellation will
not affect production according to an existing TSO authorization
(TSOA). Articles produced under an existing TSOA can still be installed
according to existing airworthiness approvals and applications for new
airworthiness approvals will still be processed.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 15, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kevin Bridges, AIR-130, Federal
Aviation Administration, 470 L'Enfant Plaza, Suite 4102, Washington, DC
20024. Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    You are invited to comment on the cancellation of the TSO by
submitting written data, views, or arguments to the above address.
Comments received may be examined, both before and after the closing
date at the above address, weekdays except Federal holidays, between
8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The Director, Aircraft Certification Service,
will consider all comments received on or before the closing date.

Background

    On September 21, 2009, the FAA published TSO-C196, Airborne
Supplemental Navigation Sensors for Global Positioning System Equipment
Using Aircraft-Based Augmentation; an updated minimum performance
standard for GPS sensors not augmented by satellite-based or ground-
based systems (i.e., TSO-C129a Class B and Class C). The FAA has also
published two GPS TSOs augmented by the satellite-based augmentation
system (TSO-C145c, Airborne Navigation Sensors Using the Global
Positioning System Augmented by the Satellite-Based Augmentation
System; and, TSO-C146c, Stand-Alone Navigation Equipment Using the
Global Positioning System Augmented by the Satellite-Based Augmentation
System).
    TSO-C145c, TSO-C146c, and TSO-C196 incorporate more stringent
standards that make the GPS equipment more accurate and robust than
sensors

built to the minimum requirements in TSO-C129a. Two examples of these
improvements are: (1) A requirement for the receiver to properly
account for satellite range error if it is reflected in the User Range
Accuracy index (commonly referred to as being ``Selective Availability
aware''); and, (2) requirements to ensure performance is not degraded
due to an increasing radio frequency noise environment as other
satellite systems become available.
    Since 1995, there has been one application for TSOA for TSO-C129a.
Therefore, we believe that it is appropriate to cancel TSO-C129a, given
the eventual obsolescence of TSO-C129a equipment, and the lack of
industry interest in new TSO-C129a product designs.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 1, 2011.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2013-N-1439]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Adverse Event Program for Medical Products

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the collection of information
regarding the Adverse Event Program for medical devices.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection
of information by January 28, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50-400B, Rockville,
MD 20850<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden
of the collection of information on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other
forms of information technology.

Adverse Event Program for Medical Devices (Medical Product Safety
Network)--(OMB Control Number 0910-0471)--Extension

    Among other things, section 519 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360i) authorizes FDA to require:
(1) manufacturers to report medical device-related deaths, serious
injuries, and malfunctions and (2) user facilities to report device-
related deaths directly to manufacturers and FDA and serious injuries
to the manufacturer. Section 213 of the Food and Drug Administration
Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 519(b) of
the FD&C Act relating to mandatory reporting by user facilities of
deaths, serious injuries, and serious illnesses associated with the use
of medical devices. This amendment legislated the replacement of
universal user facility reporting by a system that is limited to a ``.
. . subset of user facilities that constitutes a representative profile
of user reports'' for device-related deaths and serious injuries. This
amendment is reflected in section 519(b)(5)(A) of the FD&C Act. This
legislation provides FDA with the opportunity to design and implement a
national surveillance network, composed of well-trained clinical
facilities, to provide high-quality data on medical devices in clinical
use. This system is called the Medical Product Safety Network (MedSun).
    FDA is seeking OMB clearance to continue to use electronic data
collection to obtain the information on Form FDA 3500A (approved under
OMB control number 0910-0291) related to medical devices and tissue
products from the user facilities participating in MedSun, to obtain a
demographic profile of the facilities, and for additional questions
which will permit FDA to better understand the cause of reported
adverse events. Participation in the program is voluntary and currently
includes 250 facilities.
    In addition to collecting data on the electronic adverse event
report form, MedSun collects additional information from participating
sites about reported problems emerging from the MedSun hospitals. This
data collection is also voluntary and is collected on the same Web site
as the report information.
    The burden estimate is based on the number of facilities currently
participating in MedSun (250). FDA estimates an average of 15 reports
per site annually. This estimate is based on MedSun working to promote
reporting in general from the sites, as well as promoting reporting
from specific parts of the hospitals, such as the pediatric intensive
care units, the electrophysiology laboratories, and the hospital
laboratories.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

    Title: Facilities Transferring Oil or Hazardous Materials in Bulk--
Letter of Intent and Operations Manual.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0093.
    Summary: A Letter of Intent is a notice to the Coast Guard Captain
of the Port that an operator intends to operate a facility that will
transfer bulk oil or hazardous materials to or from vessels. An
Operations Manual (OM) is also required for this type of facility. The
OM establishes procedures to follow when conducting transfers and in
the event of a spill.
    Need: Under 33 U.S.C. 1321 and Executive Order 12777 the Coast

describes the nature of the information collection and its expected
cost burden. The Federal Register Notice with a sixty day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on August 26, 2008 [FR Vol. 73, page 50396]. No comments
were received.

DATES: Written comments on this notice should be received on or before
September 18, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Ashby, Acting Assistant General
Counsel for Regulation and Enforcement, Office of the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Suite W94-
302, Washington, DC 20590,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Comments: Comments should be submitted to OMB: Attention DOT/OST
Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20503, with the associated OMB Approval Number
2100-0019 and Docket DOT-OST-2008-0196 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(e-mail).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Transportation for Individuals with Disabilities ;
Accessibility of Over-the-Road Buses (OTRBs).
    OMB Control Number: 2100-0019.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement of an Information Collection.
    Respondents: Charter/tour service operators, fixed route companies,
small mixed service operators.
    Number of Respondents: 316,226.
    Number of Responses: Variable.
    Total Annual Burden: 182,873 hours.
    Abstract: The Department of Transportation (DOT), in conjunction
with the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance
Board, issued final access regulations for privately operated over-the-
road buses (OTRBs) as required by the Americans with Disability Act
(ADA) of 1990. The Final Rule on Accessibility of Over-the-Road Buses
has the following recordkeeping/reporting requirements: The first has
to do with 48 hour advance notice and compensation. The second has to
do with equivalent service and compensation. The third has to do with
reporting information on ridership on accessible fixed route buses. The
fourth has to do with recordkeeping for 5 years. The fifth has to do
with report submission to DOT annually. The sixth has to do with
reporting information on the purchase and lease of accessible and
inaccessible new and used buses. When initiating the information
collection as part of the rulemaking that established the requirements
in question, the Department provided the estimate of

burdens set forth below. We have no reason to believe that the time
necessary to comply with the information collection requirements has
changed in the meantime. We would note that this estimate assumes
compliance by bus operators with the information collection
requirements. Reporting rates, however, have been low.
    The purpose of the information collection requirements is to
provide data that the Department can use in reviewing the provisions of
its rule and to assist the Department in its oversight of compliance by
bus companies. In particular, the data will be used to assist the
Department in conducting the reevaluation of the requirements of the
over-the-road bus rule mentioned in the regulation itself.
    Burden Statement: The amount of data sought is held to the minimum
amount necessary to ensure compliance with the regulation. As suggested
in comments from both the bus industry and disability community
commenters during the rulemaking leading to this rule, recordkeeping
and reporting of this kind would be useful for the purpose of ensuring
compliance. The cumulative total burden for the information collection
is between 167,889 hours (low estimate) and 182,873 hours (high
estimate).
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of information
(third party notification) is necessary for the proper performance of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden of the
proposed 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 the
respondents, including through the use of automated techniques or other
forms of information technology.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record.

    Issued in Washington, DC on August 13, 2009.

[Docket No. FDA-2017-D-6154]

Evaluation of Devices Used With Regenerative Medicine Advanced
Therapies; Guidance for Industry; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
the availability of a final guidance entitled ``Evaluation of Devices
Used with Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapies; Guidance for
Industry.'' The guidance document provides manufacturers, applicants,
and sponsors engaged in the development of regenerative medicine
therapies, with our current thinking regarding evaluation of devices
used in the recovery, isolation or delivery of regenerative advanced
therapies, which FDA generally refers to as ``regenerative medicine
advanced therapies'' or ``RMATs.'' Specifically, the guidance addresses
how FDA intends to simplify and streamline its application of
regulatory requirements for combination device and cell or tissue
products; what, if any, intended uses or specific attributes would
result in a device used

with a regenerative therapy product to be classified as a class III
device; the factors to consider in determining whether a device may be
labeled for use with a specific RMAT or class of RMATs; when a device
may be limited to a specific intended use with only one particular type
of cell; and application of the least burdensome approach to
demonstrate how a device may be used with more than one cell type. The
issuance of this guidance fulfills the statutory requirement set forth
in a certain section of the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act). The
guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance of the
same title dated November 2017.

DATES: The announcement of the guidance is published in the Federal
Register on February 19, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled
``Evaluation of Devices Used with Regenerative Medicine Advanced
Therapies; Guidance for Industry.'' The guidance provides
manufacturers, applicants and sponsors engaged in the development of
regenerative medicine therapies, with our current thinking regarding
evaluation of devices used in the recovery, isolation or delivery of
regenerative advanced therapies, which FDA generally refers to as
``RMATs.'' Specifically, the guidance addresses how FDA intends to
simplify and streamline its application of regulatory requirements for
combination device and cell or tissue products; what, if any, intended

regenerative therapy product to be classified as a class III device;
the factors to consider in determining whether a device may be labeled
for use with a specific RMAT or class of RMATs; when a device may be
limited to a specific intended use with only one particular type of
cell; and application of the least burdensome approach to demonstrate
how a device may be used with more than one cell type.
    The issuance of the final guidance fulfills the statutory
requirement set forth in section 3034(b) of the Cures Act (Pub. L. 114-
255) and sets forth information about a wide range of concepts related
to the regulation of devices used in the recovery, isolation, and
delivery of RMATs. As our experience with these products grows, we may
consider issuing guidance on more specific topics related to these

devices to provide additional recommendations to stakeholders.
    In the Federal Register of November 17, 2017 (82 FR 54349), FDA
announced the availability of the draft guidance of the same title
dated November 2017. FDA considered comments received on the draft
guidance. FDA revised the guidance as appropriate in response to the
comments and made editorial changes to improve clarity. The guidance
announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance dated November
2017.
    Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing
the availability of a document entitled ``Expedited Programs for
Regenerative Medicine Therapies for Serious Conditions; Guidance for
Industry.''
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Evaluation of Devices Used with
Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapies.'' It does not establish any
rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can
use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to
Executive Order 12866.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 807 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910-0120; the collections of information in 21 CFR
part 812 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0078; the
collections of information in 21 CFR part 814 have been approved under
OMB control numbers 0910-0231 and 0910-0332; the collections of
information in 21 CFR part 1271 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0543; and the collections of information in the guidance

Clarification on Fireworks Policy Regarding Display Mines

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Clarification.

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

SUMMARY: This document clarifies PHMSA's policy regarding applications
for classification approval of Display Mines provided they conform to
the acceptable criteria described in this guidance, and otherwise
comply with the APA Standard 87-1 requirements.

DATES: September 24, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ryan Paquet, Director, Approvals
and Permits Division, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, (202) 366-
4512, PHMSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    In this document, PHMSA's Office of Hazardous Materials Safety
(OHMS) is issuing this policy regarding its classification approval of
Display Mines, which describes acceptable criteria for these types of
fireworks. PHMSA previously evaluated and approved these devices;
however, PHMSA has not previously published guidance regarding the
approval of these types of fireworks. This clarification will help
fireworks manufacturers and their U.S. designated agents that file
applications on their behalf, to provide accurate applications to PHMSA
for approval, which will minimize the delay in processing these
applications, while sustaining the current level of safety.

II. Background

    PHMSA's OHMS, Approvals and Permits Division, receives approval
applications for various types of fireworks, including Division 1.3G
Display Mines. Division 1.3G fireworks applications may be approved in
accordance with subpart C of part 173 of the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR, 49 CFR parts 171-180). Division 1.3G fireworks
applicants have the option for obtaining an EX classification approval
without prior testing by a DOT-approved explosive test laboratory,
provided that the firework device is manufactured in accordance with
the APA Standard 87-1 and passes a thermal stability test as required
by Sec.  173.64(a)(1) and (2). The APA Standard 87-1 currently does not
specifically address Display Mines; however, it does provide the
requirements for display shells.
    Display Mines that conform to the acceptable criteria described in
this guidance, and all applicable requirements in the APA Standard 87-
1, (e.g., chemical compositions and shell diameter sizes), may be
submitted to PHMSA for approval classification.

III. Guidelines for Display Mines

    PHMSA considers a Display Mine to be a cylindrical or spherical
cartridge that contains a propelling charge and does not contain a
primary burst charge or a main delay fuse. Internal effects (e.g.
crossettes or small display shells) are permitted to contain a burst
charge and an internal delay fuse. The internal effects are launched
from a tube by the propelling charge. Display Mines range from 2 inches
(50mm) to 10 inches (250mm) in exterior diameter and are classed as
UN0335, Fireworks, Division 1.3G.
    To be accepted for review and consideration, PHMSA expects Display
Mines to be designed so that they (1) will not leak pyrotechnic
composition during transportation in accordance with Sec.  173.54(c);
and (2) are constructed of sturdy materials, such as (but not

limited to) plastic, Kraft paper, or cardboard. Designs must meet the
requirements of 49 CFR 173.56(b) or 173.64, the APA Standard 87-1 and
must pass a thermal stability test as required by Sec.  173.64(a)(2).

    Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
1.97.

II. Background

    On September 27, 2023, FMCSA published a notice announcing receipt
of an application from one individual with a diagnosis of narcolepsy
and requested comments from the public (88 FR 66553). The individual
requested an exemption from 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) which prohibits
operation of a CMV in interstate commerce by persons with either a
clinical diagnosis of narcolepsy or any other condition that is likely
to cause a loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to control a
CMV. The public comment period ended on October 27, 2023, and no
comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of the applicant and concluded
that granting an exemption would not provide a level of safety that
would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would
be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(8). A summary of the
applicant's medical history related to the narcolepsy exemption request
was discussed in the September 27, 2023, Federal Register notice and
will not be repeated here.
    The Agency considered information from the 2009 Evidence Report,
``Narcolepsy (with and without cataplexy) and Commercial Motor Vehicle
Driver Safety,'' and the January 2010 Medical Review Board (MRB)
recommendation that individuals with narcolepsy be ineligible for a
commercial driver's license, even with treatment. A copy of the
Evidence Report is included in the docket.
    Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by autoimmune
destruction of hypocretin-producing neurons inhibiting the brain's
ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. Persons with narcolepsy
experience frequent excessive daytime sleepiness, comparable to how
individuals without narcolepsy feel after 24 to 48 hours of sleep
deprivation, as well as disturbed nocturnal sleep, which is often
confused with insomnia. See National Institutes of Health Narcolepsy
information at https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/narcolepsy.
    The 2009 Evidence Report, ``Narcolepsy (with and without cataplexy)
and Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Safety,'' addressed whether or not
individuals with narcolepsy are at an increased risk for motor vehicle
crashes; whether or not currently recommended treatments for narcolepsy
reduce the risk for motor vehicle crashes; and the impact of various
medication therapies for narcolepsy on driver safety.
    The evidence report reviewed studies from the available literature
and evaluated outcomes on measures of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
(EDS), cataplexy, event rate, measures of cognitive and psychomotor
function, and driving performance. The currently available direct and
indirect evidence supports the contention that drivers with narcolepsy
are at an increased risk for a motor vehicle crash when compared to
otherwise similar individuals who do not have the disorder. The direct
evidence from three crash studies conducted of non-CMV drivers showed
that individuals with narcolepsy are at an increased risk for a crash
compared to individuals who do not have narcolepsy. The indirect
evidence from studies of driving tests and driving simulation examined
factors associated with simulated driving outcomes such as driving
performance, tracking error, fewer correct responses, and more
instances of going out of bounds compared to healthy controls. While
there are limitations in the quality of the studies that examined
direct crash risk, both the direct and indirect studies showed a strong
effect size and statistical significance. The American Academy of Sleep
Medicine (AASM) and the European Federation of Neurological Societies
recommend modafinil as the first treatment option and methylphenidate
as the second treatment option. The AASM also recommends amphetamine,
methamphetamine, or dextroamphetamine as alternative treatments. During
literature searches, no studies that directly examined the impact of
treatment with modafinil, armodafinil, sodium oxybate (used with
narcolepsy with cataplexy), or anti-depressants on crash risk or
driving performance were identified. Therefore, conclusions regarding
treatment with these medications on crash risk and driving performance
could not be made.
    Currently available evidence suggests that amphetamines and/or
methylphenidate are effective in improving symptoms of EDS in
individuals with narcolepsy (quality of studies range from ``moderate
to low''). However, these improvements do not result in levels of
daytime sleepiness that can be considered to be normal in the vast
majority of individuals. Therefore, conclusions regarding to the impact
of treatment with amphetamines, methylphenidate, or other related

stimulant drugs on cognitive and psychomotor function among individuals
with narcolepsy could not be made.
    In January 2010, FMCSA's MRB recommended that individuals with
narcolepsy be ineligible for a commercial driver's license, even with
treatment.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

IV. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption.
    The Agency's decision regarding this exemption application is based
on an individualized assessment of the applicant's medical information,
available medical and scientific data concerning narcolepsy, and any
relevant public comments received.

V. Conclusion

    The Agency has determined that the available medical and scientific
literature and research provides insufficient data to enable the Agency
to conclude that granting this exemption would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained
without the exemption. Therefore, the following applicant has been
denied an exemption from the physical qualification standards in Sec.
391.41(b)(8):

Kevin Cunningham (TN)

    The applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of final
disposition regarding their exemption request. The decision letter
fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitute final action by
the Agency. The name of the individual published in this notice
summarizes the Agency's recent denials as required under 49 U.S.C.
31315(b)(4).
