any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Trans- portation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

3) Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage contained
in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any operations
under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the form of a
completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation Administration’s
Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards Service (any
changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be filed with that

Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 203,
concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

7) Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: a) based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or b) based on
a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term “international air transportation” means “international
transportation” as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

8) Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

9) Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department’s
rules governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

11) Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and limitations
required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the Department,
with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S. agencies and
courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

This authority shall not be effective during any period when the holder
is not in compliance with the conditions imposed above.  Moreover, this
authority cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without explicit
Department approval under Title 49 of the U.S. Code.

C. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments
from the public on the exemption request. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records
notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    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 statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions
at the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from
the FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The 14 individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11).
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting the exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5--1951.
    This standard was adopted in 1970 and was revised in 1971 to allow
drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a hearing
aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (Apr. 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
    On February 1, 2013, FMCSA announced in a Notice of Final
Disposition titled, ``Qualification of Drivers; Application for
Exemptions; National Association of the Deaf,'' (78 FR 7479), its
decision to grant requests from 40 individuals for exemptions from the
Agency's physical qualification standard concerning hearing for
interstate CMV drivers. Since that time the Agency has published
additional notices granting requests from hard of hearing and deaf
individuals for exemptions from the Agency's physical qualification
standard concerning hearing for interstate CMV drivers.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0266; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-061-AD;
Amendment 39-17119; AD 2012-14-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A318, A319, and A320 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted

by reports of unsuccessful slide deployments during scheduled
deployment tests, and failed functional tests of the release travel of
the slide release mechanism. This AD requires inspecting the off-wing
slide release cables on the left- and right-hand sides to determine
whether a certain part number is installed, and replacement if
necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent non-availability of left-
or right-hand off-wing exit slides that could impair emergency
evacuation of the passengers and flightcrew, and could result in
personal injuries.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 21, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 21,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 16, 2012 (77
FR 15636). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Several operators reported unsuccessful slide deployments during
scheduled deployment tests and/or failed functional tests of the
release travel of the slide release mechanism.
    Investigations revealed deformation of the PTFE (Teflon) ball
guide strip of the release cable, Part Number (P/N) L32A319-160-001.
In such a situation the travel of the cable could be insufficient to
open the valve when opening the exit, thereby reducing the gas flow
from the reservoir to the off-wing slide in automatic or manual
mode. As a result, the aspirator will not ingest sufficient ambient
air for slide inflation.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to the non-
availability of LH [left-hand] and/or RH [right-hand] off-wing exit
slides for evacuation that would impair emergency evacuation of the
aeroplane occupants, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
identification [inspection] and replacement of both Left hand (LH)
and Right Hand (RH) off-wing slide release cables P/N L32A319-160-
001 with P/N L32A320-180, which have precise stainless steel ball
bearing stripes instead of stamped PTFE stripes.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Support for the Proposed AD (77 FR 15636, March 16, 2012)

    United Airlines has no objections to the content of the proposed
rule (77 FR 15636, March 16, 2012).

Request To Refer to Revised Service Bulletin

    Airbus requested that we revise the NPRM (77 FR 15636, March 16,
2012) to refer to Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A320-53-1227,
Revision 05, dated March 27, 2012. Airbus also requested that we give
credit for actions done using Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A320-
53-1227, Revision 01, dated May 31, 2010; Revision 02, dated March 10,
2011; Revision 03, dated July 28, 2011; and Revision 04, dated February
14, 2012.
    We agree with the request. We have updated paragraphs (g) and
(m)(5) of this AD to refer to Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A320-
53-1227, Revision 05, dated March 27, 2012. We have also revised
paragraph (j)(1) of this AD to allow credit for actions done using
Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A320-53-1227, Revision 01, dated May
31, 2010; Revision 02, dated March 10, 2011; Revision 03, dated July
28, 2011; and Revision 04, dated February 14, 2012. We have re-
identified paragraphs (j)(2) through (j)(6) of the NPRM (77 FR 15636,
March 16, 2012) as paragraph (j)(2) in this AD, and indicated that the
service information in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD provides credit for
the actions specified in paragraph (h) of this AD.

Additional Change Made to This AD

    Paragraph (g) of the NPRM (77 FR 15636, March 16, 2012)
inadvertently referred to paragraph (l) of the NPRM, rather than
paragraph (k) of the NPRM, as the exception to the proposed
requirements. We have changed paragraph (g) of this AD to refer to
paragraph (k) of this AD for the exception.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously except for minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 15636, March 16, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 15636, March 16, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 694 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 39 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $5,750 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $6,291,110, or $9,065 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 15636, March 16,
2012), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2012-14-05 Airbus: Amendment 39-17119. Docket No. FAA-2012-0266;
Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-061-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective August 21,
2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -
122 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132,
and -133 airplanes; and Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -
232, and -233 airplanes; certificated in any category; all serial
numbers.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel tanks;
53: Fuselage.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of unsuccessful slide
deployments during scheduled deployment tests, and failed functional
tests of the release travel of the slide release mechanism. We are
issuing this AD to prevent non-availability of left- or right-hand
off-wing exit slides that could impair emergency evacuation of the
passengers and flightcrew, and could result in personal injuries.

(f) Compliance

    You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD
performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions
have already been done.

(g) Inspection and Modification

    Except as provided by paragraph (k) of this AD, within 36 months
after the effective date of this AD, inspect the off-wing slide
release cables on the left- and right-hand sides to determine
whether part number (P/N) L32A319-160-001 is installed. A review of
airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the part number of the off-wing slide release cables
can be conclusively determined from that review. If any off-wing
slide release cable has P/N L32A319-160-001, before further flight,
replace with a new off-wing slide release cable having P/N L32A320-
180, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79834; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2017-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
of Proposed Rule Change Amending the NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5 and Rule
8 Series

January 18, 2017.
    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 January 6, 2017, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the 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 the NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5 and
Rule 8 series to add additional continued listing standards as well as
clarify the procedures it will undertake when an ETP is noncompliant
with applicable rules. The proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site 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 the listing rules for ETPs in the
Rule 5 and Rule 8 series of the NYSE Arca Equities rule book to add
additional continued listing standards as well as clarify the
procedures it will undertake when an ETP is noncompliant with
applicable rules. The proposed rule changes are being made in concert
with discussions with the SEC. Staff (``Staff'') of the SEC's Division
of Trading and Markets (``T&M'') requested that the Exchange adopt
certain additional continued listing standards for ETPs.
    As a result, the proposed amended rules reflect the guidance
provided by T&M Staff to clarify that most initial listing standards,
as well as certain representations included in Exchange rule filings
under SEC Rule 19b-4 to list an ETP (``Exchange Rule Filings''), are
also considered continued listing standards. The Exchange Rule Filing
representations that will also be required to be maintained on a
continuous basis include (a) the description of the fund and (b) the
fund's investment restrictions.
    The proposed rule changes require that ETPs listed by the Exchange
without an Exchange Rule Filing must maintain the initial index or
reference asset criteria on a continued basis. For example, in the case
of a domestic equity index, these criteria generally include: (a)
Stocks with 90% of the weight of the index must have a minimum market
value of at least $75 million; (b) stocks with 70% of the weight of the
index must have a minimum monthly trading volume of at least 250,000
shares; (c) the most heavily weighted component cannot exceed 30% of
the weight of the index, and the five most heavily weighted stocks
cannot exceed 65%; (d) there must be at least 13 stocks in the index;
and (e) all securities in the index must be listed in the U.S. There
are similar criteria for international indexes, fixed-income indexes
and indexes with a combination of components.
    If an Exchange Rule Filing is made to list a specific ETP, the
proposed rule change requires that the issuer of the security comply on
a continuing basis with any statements or representations contained in
the applicable rule proposal, including (a) the description of the
portfolio and (b) limitations on portfolio holdings or reference
assets. The NYSE Arca listing rules will also be modified to require
that issuers of securities listed under the Rule 5 and Rule 8 series
must notify the Exchange regarding instances of non-compliance. In
addition, while listed ETPs are currently subject to the delisting
process in Rule 5.5(m), the rules will be clarified to make this
explicit.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(5) \5\ of the Act, in particular, in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, 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.
The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) \6\ of the Act in that it is

not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule changes accomplish these objectives by enhancing
Exchange rules by clarifying that most initial listing standards, as
well as certain representations included in Exchange Rule Filings to
list an ETP, are considered continued listing standards. Additionally,
the NYSE Arca listing rules will be modified to require that issuers of
securities listed under the Rule 5 and Rule 8 series must notify the
Exchange regarding instances of non-compliance and to clarify that
deficiencies will be subject to the delisting process in Rule 5.5(m).
The Exchange believes that these amendments will enhance the NYSE Arca
listing rules, thereby serving to improve the national market system
and protect investors and the public interest.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change to amend the listing rules for
ETPs in the NYSE Arca Rule 5 and Rule 8 series and the related
notification requirement will have no impact on competition.
Furthermore, since T&M Staff has provided the same guidance regarding
ETP continued listing requirements to all exchanges, the Exchange
believes that there will be no effect on competition.

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 with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Hamilton, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet or more above the surface at Hamilton Municipal Airport (formerly
Elisha Payne Airport), Hamilton, NY, to accommodate airspace
reconfiguration due to the decommissioning of the Georgetown VHF omni-
directional radio range tactical air navigation aid (VORTAC), and
cancellation of the VORTAC approach. Controlled airspace is necessary
for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations at the airport. This action also updates the geographic
coordinates of the airport, and updates the airport name.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 19, 2018. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, and subsequent amendments can be viewed online at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/. For further information, you can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends Class E airspace at Hamilton Municipal Airport, Hamilton,
NY, to support IFR operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register for Docket No. FAA-2017-1089 (83 FR 5748, February 9, 2018)
proposing to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or
more

above the surface at Hamilton Municipal Airport, Hamilton, NY.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or
more above the surface within an 11.2-mile radius (increased from a
6.5-mile radius) of Hamilton Municipal Airport, Hamilton, NY, due to
the decommissioning of the Georgetown VORTAC, and cancellation of the
VOR approach. The changes enhance the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
    The geographic coordinates of the airport also are adjusted to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database, and the airport name is
updated to Hamilton Municipal Airport from Elisha Payne Airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

II. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 10, 2006 (71 FR 1588) (FRL-7755-
5), EPA proposed new requirements to reduce exposure to lead hazards
created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb
lead-based paint. The proposal supports the attainment of the Federal
government's goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010. The
proposal would establish requirements for training renovators and dust
sampling technicians; certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians,
and renovation firms; accrediting providers of renovation and dust
sampling technician training; and renovation work practices. These
requirements would apply in ``target housing,'' defined in TSCA section
401 as any housing constructed before 1978, except housing for the
elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child under age 6
resides or is expected to reside in such housing) or any 0-bedroom
dwelling.
    Initially the rule would apply to all renovations for compensation
performed in target housing where a child with an increased blood lead
level resides; rental target housing built before 1960; and owner-
occupied target housing built before 1960, unless the person performing
the renovation obtains a statement signed by the owner-occupant that
the renovation will occur in the owner's residence and that no child
under age 6 resides there. EPA is proposing to phase in the
applicability of this proposal to all rental target housing andowner-
occupied target housing built in the years 1960 through 1977 where a
child under age 6 resides. This proposal was issued under the authority
of TSCA section 402(c)(3). EPA also proposed to allow interested
States, Territories, and Indian Tribes the opportunity to apply for,
and receive authorization to administer and enforce all of the elements
of the new renovation provisions.

III. Meeting Dates and Locations

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70291; File No. SR-DTC-2013-10]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Depository Trust Company;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change in Order To Terminate the
Sealed Envelope Service, Which Is Part of The Depository Trust
Company's Custody Service

August 30, 2013.
    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 August 22, 2013, The Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change described in Items I, II and III below, which Items have
been prepared primarily by DTC. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    As more fully discussed below, the proposed rule change is to
terminate the Sealed Envelope Service, which is part of DTC's Custody
Service.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC 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. DTC 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

Purpose
    In 2002, DTC launched the Sealed Envelope Service (the ``Service'')
as a service extension to DTC's Custody Service.\3\ The Service was
designed to provide physical custody to Participants for documents or
instruments that are not securities, such as loan agreements, wills,
deeds, mortgages, contracts and option agreements. The Service strictly
prohibits the deposit of securities certificates as well as tangible
assets such as currency, gold coins or jewelry. DTC initially launched
the Service in response to a request from Participants to assist in
fully outsourcing their vaults to DTC. Subsequently, there has not been
much use of the Service by Participants, and it is, accordingly, not
economically efficient to maintain the Service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 46018 (Jun. 3, 2002), 67
FR 39454 (Jun. 7, 2002) (SR-DTC-2002-03).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, DTC allows for these non-security items to be held in
custody in a sealed envelope in one of DTC's vaults. The envelopes are
such that the contents cannot be viewed when sealed. DTC does not open
any sealed envelopes, but x-rays all packages and envelopes received to
assure [sic] no dangerous contents. DTC also assigns a user-CUSIP
number for tracking and record keeping purposes. The depositing
Participant is required to list the contents of the envelope on the
outside of the envelope. Participants balance their sealed envelopes
daily with DTC in the same manner as they presently do for securities
held in the Custody Service. DTC does not verify the contents of the
envelope and this has presented a concern since DTC has no way of
knowing whether the contents qualify for the Service.

    As part of the Hurricane Sandy storm recovery, DTC has determined
that it is not recovering its costs from usage of the Service by only a
few Participants. Only fifteen Participants currently use the Service,
with one of those Participants representing approximately 85% of the
total volume. All fifteen of these Participants have been notified of
DTC's intention to discontinue the Service and none of the Participants
have objected. Accordingly, upon approval by the SEC, DTC will
terminate the Service. DTC will work with the Participants that
currently use the Service to develop a timeline that is not unduly
burdensome to return the existing sealed envelope inventory.
Statutory Basis
    DTC believes the proposed rule change, as described above, is
consistent with the requirements of the Act, specifically Section
17A(b)(3)(F),\4\ and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to
DTC, because the change, which terminates the Service, eliminates risk
to the depository associated with the safeguarding of items in DTC's
physical custody and therefore enhances DTC's ability to safeguard
securities or funds in its custody or control or for which it is
responsible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

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

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received. DTC will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by DTC.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) by order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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