SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54743; File No. SR-NYSE-2006-91]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Rule 116 (``Stop'' Constitutes Guarantee)

November 13, 2006.
    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 October 19, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or
``NYSE'') 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 Exchange. The Exchange
has designated this proposal as non-controversial under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposed rule change 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)(iii).
    \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 Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 116.40 to clarify that
market-at-the-close procedures include marketable limit-at-the-close
orders.

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. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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 Exchange affords its customers the ability to execute two order
types specific to the close. These orders are the market-at-the-close
order (``MOC'') and the limit-at-the-close order (``LOC''). A MOC order
is a market order, which is to be executed in its entirety at the
closing price on the Exchange of the stock named in the order, and if
not so executed, is to be treated as cancelled. A LOC order is a limit
order, which may or may not receive execution on the close depending on
the closing price and depth of contra-side interest.
    Rule 116.40 provides the procedures for handling MOC orders. These
procedures describe the manner in which MOC orders should be paired off
and executed. It also explains how any order imbalance should be
handled.
    The Exchange interprets Rule 116.40 to apply to LOC orders;
however, this is not specifically stated in the Rule's text. Through
this filing, the Exchange proposes to add the phrase ``and marketable
limit-at-the-close'' to Rule 116.40, to remove any ambiguity.
    In this context, ``marketable'' refers to the LOC's limit price
within the context of the Exchange closing price.
    The proposed amendments are contained in Exhibit 5 attached to the
Exchange's filing. Rule 116.40 is also the subject of an open filing
\5\ pending before the Commission. Text being added pursuant to SR-
NYSE-2006-65 is denoted by double underscoring in Exhibit 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ SR-NYSE-2006-65 (filed on August 23, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act \6\ for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \7\ that an exchange have rules that
are 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \7\ 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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\9\ Because the foregoing proposed rule change (i) does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (iii) 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,
the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ The Exchange provided written notice to the Commission of
its intent to file the proposed rule change at least five business
days prior to filing, as required by Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

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:

Proposed Settlement Agreement, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement; request for public
comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as
amended (``CAA''), notice is hereby given of a proposed settlement
agreement to address a consolidated set of petitions for review filed
by several parties in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth
Circuit. Basin Electric Power Cooperative (``Basin Electric'') and the
State of Wyoming (``Wyoming'') (collectively, ``Petitioners'') filed
petitions for review of an EPA rule addressing the regional haze
requirements in Wyoming. Specifically, Basin Electric challenged the
rule as it pertained to the NOX BART emission limits for
Laramie River Units 1-3. Wyoming also challenged the rule based on
EPA's action on the Laramie River Units and on other grounds. The
proposed settlement agreement would establish deadlines for EPA to take
specified actions.

DATES: Written comments on the proposed settlement agreement must be
received by January 30, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID number EPA-HQ-
OGC-2016-0773, online at www.regulations.gov. For comments submitted at
www.regulations.gov, follow the online instructions for submitting
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from
www.regulations.gov. The 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. The 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement

    Petitioners filed petitions for review of EPA's rule titled
``Approval, Disapproval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State
of Wyoming; Regional Haze State Implementation Plan; Federal
Implementation Plan for Regional Haze,'' 79 FR 5032 (Jan. 30, 2014)
(``Final Rule''). In the Final Rule, EPA disapproved, in part, the
Wyoming regional haze SIP, including the NOX BART
requirements as to Laramie River Units 1-3, and promulgated a federal
implementation plan (``FIP'') that imposed a NOX BART
emission limit of 0.07 lb/MMBtu (30-day rolling average) at Laramie
River Units 1-3. Petitioners have raised various challenges to the
Final Rule. This settlement agreement would resolve all of Basin
Electric's challenges to the Final Rule and those portions of Wyoming's
challenge to the Final Rule related to the establishment of
NOX BART emission limits for Laramie River Units 1-3.
    Under the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, after the
settlement agreement becomes final the parties will take specified
actions as provided for in the settlement agreement. Please review the
settlement agreement for additional details, available in the public
docket at EPA-HQ-OGC-2016-0773.
    For a period of 30 days following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the
proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as
parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed
settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate,
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the
Department of Justice determines that consent to the

agreement should be withdrawn or withheld, the terms of the agreement
will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Settlement
Agreement

A. How can I get a copy of the proposed settlement agreement?

    The official public docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-
HQ-OGC-2016-0773 contains a copy of the proposed settlement agreement.
The official public docket is available for public viewing at the
Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket
Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the OEI Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
www.regulations.gov. You may use the www.regulations.gov to submit or
view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the
official public docket, and to access those documents in the public
docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in
the appropriate docket identification number then select ``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless
the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI
and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not
included in the official public docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including
copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed
in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or
CD-ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0169, dated August 17, 2016 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain 328 Support
Services GmbH Model 328-100 and Model 328-300 airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    Occurrences of broken bonding wires of the fuel line clamps have
been reported on Dornier 328-100 and Dornier 328-300 aeroplanes
equipped with fuel line clamps Part Number (P/N) 14C02-10A, or P/N
14C02-12A, or P/N 14C02-16A. The affected fuel line clamps have been
installed in accordance with the instructions of SB-328-28-490 or
SB-328J-28-241 to reduce occurrences of fuel line chafing.
    The results of the investigation did not identify design
deficiency or production failure of the fuel line clamps. It is
assumed that the chafing and breaking of the bonding wires are
caused either by excessive vibration, misalignment, excessive
installation tolerances or mistakes on installation or a combination
* * * thereof.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to the
loss of bonding function and, in combination with a lightning
strike, create a source of ignition in a fuel tank, possibly
resulting in a fire or explosion and consequent loss of the
aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, 328 Support Services issued
Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-28-041 for Dornier 328-100 aeroplanes
and ASB-328J-28-018 for Dornier 328-300 aeroplanes respectively
(hereafter referred to collectively as `the applicable ASB' in this
[EASA] AD) providing inspection instructions.
    For the reason stated above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-time
inspection of the fuel line clamps [for discrepancies including
damaged, worn, or missing bonding wires, and chafing or incorrect
alignment of jet pumps, connection parts, and fuel lines] and,
depending on findings, replacement. This [EASA] AD also requires the
reporting of all inspection results to the design approval holder.
    This [EASA] AD is considered an interim action and further
[EASA] AD action may follow.

and replacement of any clamps with worn or missing bonding wires. These
documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of

Design Authority, we have been notified of the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are
proposing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and
determined an unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop
on other products of these same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 35 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

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

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has
been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC
20591, ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS

FOR THE COLLECTION REQUEST

FOR THE CLEAN AIR ACT TRIBAL AUTHORITY

PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT

IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

1(a)  Title of Information Collection

Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Clean Air Act Tribal
Authority (40 CFR part 35, subpart B; parts 9, 49, 50 and 81).  This
Information Collection Request (ICR) Number is 1676.06.   The OMB
control number is 2060-0306.  This is a renewal ICR is for implementing
Section 301(d) of the Clean Air Act.

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

	The purpose of this ICR is to estimate the burden associated with the
regulation governing the treatment of Indian tribes in the same manner
as states as authorized in Section 301 (d) of the Clean Air Act.  The
reporting burden is a one-time application for authorization to adopt
Clean Air Act programs through regional program offices.

This Information Collection Request (ICR) seeks authorization for tribes
to demonstrate their eligibility to be treated in the same manner as
states under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and to submit applications to
implement a CAA program.  This ICR extends the collection period of
information for determining eligibility, which expires May 31, 2011.
The ICR also is revising the estimates of burden costs for tribes in
completing a CAA application.

	The program regulation provides for Indian tribes, if they so choose,
to assume responsibility for the development and implementation of CAA
programs.  The regulation, Indian Tribes: Air Quality Planning and
Management (Tribal Authority Rule [TAR] 40 CFR parts 9, 35, 49, 50 and
81), sets forth how tribes may seek authority to implement their own air
quality planning and management programs.  The rule establishes: 1)
which CAA provisions Indian tribes may seek authority to implement, 2)
what requirements the tribes must meet when seeking such authorization,
and 3) what Federal financial assistance may be available to help tribes
establish and manage their air quality programs. The TAR provides tribes
the authority to administer air quality programs over all air resources,
including non-Indian owned fee lands, within the exterior boundaries of
a reservation and other areas over which the tribe can demonstrate
jurisdiction. An Indian tribe that takes responsibility for a CAA
program would essentially be treated in the same way a state would be
treated for that program.

	The TAR adopts EPA’s “streamlined” eligibility review and
approval process for tribes to implement CAA programs.  The ICR was
prepared according to the guidance contained in the Office of
Information Collection (OIC) December 1996 ICR Handbook.  This handbook
is the Agency’s most current guidance document for preparing an ICR
and follows the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (4 U.S.C.
section 1320) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines.

NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection

Implementation of regulations includes a collection of information by
EPA from Indian tribes for purposes of determining if a tribe is
qualified for delegation of the CAA Program. Section 114 of the CAA is
the authority for the collection of information.

Section 301(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs the Administrator of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate regulations
specifying those provisions of the Act which are appropriate for
treating tribes in the same manner as states.  The regulations, which
were approved in 1998, give tribes the opportunity, if they choose, to
carry out virtually all Clean Air Act (CAA) programs.  The rule
authorizes eligible tribes to implement CAA programs over all air
resources within the exterior boundaries of their reservations,
including non-Indian owned fee lands, or other areas within the
tribes’ jurisdiction.  This ICR requests clearance for tribes to apply
for authority to administer CAA programs.

2(b)  Practical Utility Users of the Data

	EPA uses the submitted information to determine if the tribe meets the
statutory criteria under CAA Section 301 (d) and is qualified for
program delegation.

NON-DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

3(a)  Non-duplication

To avoid requiring submission of duplicate information, EPA will accept

information previously submitted by an Indian tribe (i.e., information
included in an application for treatment in the same manner as a State
under another Act).

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, EPA solicited comments
for a 60-day period prior to submission of the ICR to OMB.  Comments
were requested by January 30, 2011 via a Federal Register
EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0093.

3(c) Consultations

	An EPA workgroup drafted the proposed regulation following consultation
with various tribal representatives and extensive internal review.  In
developing this regulation EPA consulted with tribal representatives at
the National Tribal Conference on Environmental Management in Cherokee,
N.C. in May 1992 and at three “outreach meetings” in Chicago, Denver
and San Francisco in November 1992.  A final set of outreach meetings
was held with tribal representatives and with members of the State and
Territorial Air Pollution Administrators and the Association of Local
Air Pollution Control Officials (STAPPA/ALAPCO, now renamed National
Association of Clean Air Agencies or NACAA) in September 1993.
Suggestions and comments articulated during these exchanges, most
supporting the delegation of the CAA authority to tribes, were
incorporated as appropriate into the proposed rule. The proposed rule
was published on August 25, 1994 and solicited additional comments from
the general public. These comments were addressed in the final rule
promulgated in 1998.

          Prior to this renewal, each Regional EPA Office was contacted
and asked to provide estimates to support the action.  The Regional
Offices confirmed the estimated average burden of nine actions per year
for each of the next three years.  Members of the public were also
consulted during this renewal and asked to comment.  Three respondents,
representing the public, tribes and tribal organizations responded and
had no comments.  These respondents were Ryan Callison of Gore Oklahoma,
Brandy Toft of Bemidji Minnesota, and Mehrdad Khatibi, Assistant
Director of the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals at
Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff Arizona.  This consultation
indicates that tribes and the public continue to be comfortable with the
process as it is being conducted and have a good understanding of the
requirements.

3(d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection

	Applications by Indian tribes for eligibility in air quality programs
are a one-time collection of information per respondent.

3(e)  General Guidelines

No paperwork reduction guidelines contained in 5 CFR 1320.5 are exceeded
by this information collection.

3(f)  Confidentiality

Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, part 2, subpart B -
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR
42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

	3(g)  Sensitive Questions

	There are no sensitive questions.

THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

4(a)  Respondents/SIC Codes

Indian Tribes would be the sole respondents to this ICR. EPA estimates
that 27 of the 570 tribes -- over the three year clearance period --
will apply for eligibility for CAA programs. Based on a survey of
regional offices and basic knowledge of tribes, EPA assumes that 9
tribes will submit applications in Year 1, 9 in Year 2, and 9 in year 3.
The assumption is based on projections provided by each Regional Office.
 The TAR was promulgated in 1998, and tribes are just now building air
quality programs.  Therefore, EPA expects the number of applications to
remain relatively constant in the out years as additional tribes build
capacity. However, since tribes have the option of applying for CAA
programs, and it is ultimately up to the EPA to implement the Act where
there is a gap, more or less tribes may be interested in seeking
eligibility. If more tribes express an interest during the public
comment period, EPA will revise this ICR and the estimated burden
accordingly.

4(b)  Information Requested.

Data items, including record keeping requirements

Recommend tribe maintain a copy of all documents produced on file in the
tribal government offices.  No data is collected as part of this action.

Respondent Activities

	To be eligible for delegation of CAA programs, an Indian tribe must
submit documentation showing they meet the following criteria: 1) be
recognized by the Federal government (CAA section 302(r);  2) have an
existing governing body which carries out governmental duties (such as
tax and police functions);  3) show that the management and protection
of air resources applies within the exterior boundaries of the
reservation or other areas within the tribe’s jurisdiction, and 4) be
reasonably expected to be capable of implementing all applicable
regulations.  Meeting the definition of “Federally recognized tribe”
(Section 302(r)) can be achieved in two ways: 1) approval by the
Secretary of Interior (or in the process of doing so) as documented in
the Federal Register notices periodically published by the Secretary; or
2) previous EPA approval for implementation of another program under
another environmental statute. Previous eligibility determination under
another EPA program (such as the CWA, SDWA, or other CAA program)
satisfies the governing body requirement as well.  If an initial
declaration has not yet been approved, this can be shown by
demonstrating that the tribe is performing governmental functions to
promote the public health, safety and welfare of the population,
including such things as levying taxes, acquiring land by exercising the
power of eminent domain, and police powers.

	As for the third criterion, demonstration of appropriate jurisdiction,
identifying tribal jurisdictions clearly and with precision, can be done
with the use of maps and a legal description of the area; if the tribe
is asserting jurisdiction over off-reservation lands, it must
demonstrate the legal and factual basis for its jurisdiction consistent
with applicable principles of Indian law.

	In evaluating a tribal demonstration of program implementation
capability, EPA considers their management and technical skills by
reviewing the following factors: 1) tribe’s previous management
experience, 2) existing environmental or public health programs
administered, 3) mechanism(s) in place for carrying out the executive,
legislative and judicial functions of the tribal government, 4) the
relationship between regulated entities and regulating administrative
agency, and 5) the technical and administrative capabilities of the
staff. Tribes with limited management and technical skills can also
submit a plan detailing steps for acquiring those skills.

THE INFORMATION COLLECTED—AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTIONS METHODOLOGY
AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

5(a)  Agency Activities

EPA will review the applications to determine if they meet the
eligibility criteria.

5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

	The collection methodology for this ICR maintains that a tribal
application for implementation of a CAA program is a one-time submission
that does not lend itself to electronic formatting. For example, tribal
boundary information would be difficult to translate electronically.
These applications will be reviewed and retained by the regional program
offices.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

Information collection requirements covered in this ICR will not affect
small businesses. All respondents are Indian tribes.

5(d)  Collection Schedule

Tribes can apply on a voluntary basis for eligibility under the CAA
Tribal Authority Rule.  Therefore, a collection schedule is not
applicable.

ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

This section provides information on the cost and burden associated with
the information collection for both the respondents and the Agency.  I
present these cost and burden estimates as individual costs per
respondent, and as an aggregate cost for the entire respondent universe
and the Agency on an annual basis and over the entire period covered by
the ICR.

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

The annual burden to the respondent Indian tribes is a function of the
requirements of the eligibility application and average time required
for tribes to complete each information item. The average burden per
respondent varies, depending on whether the tribe has received approval
under another environmental program, i.e., Clean Water Act, Safe
Drinking Water Act.  The annual burden per tribe is estimated at 40
hours at a cost of $2,362.00. The estimated annual burden is 320 hours
at a cost of $26,096.00.  See Exhibit I.

* Annual collection is the average number of collections per year. For
the three-year period, EPA expects a total of 25 respondents.  25
respondents / 3 years = 8 collections annually.

The annualized responses per year over the three-year period: 25/3=8.

The annualized burden hours over the three year period: 960/3=320.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

The cost imposed on the tribes as respondents includes the burden placed
on collecting, compiling, and reporting the information and the wages of
the typical tribal worker performing these activities.  The cost is
associated with salaries and overhead for tribal employees will probably
vary significantly.  The average respondent per hour labor cost is
$59.05 ($28.12*110%) for an Environmental Scientist. The rates include a
factor of 110%, added to each labor rate per Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) policy.  The labor rates are based on hourly wages for the
appropriate government (tribal) employees as determined by using the
Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) employment cost trends tables for
government (tribal) workers, May 2009.  A 110% factor was added to the
original rates per OMB policy.  The cost per respondent is estimated to
be $2,362.00; the total annual respondent cost is $56,688.00.  The total
cost for the three-year collection period is $18,896.00.

 Estimating Labor Costs

This rule incorporates the Agency’s streamlined process for treating
tribes in manner similar to the States. Since tribes are not required to
participate in this program, the number of applications will vary
depending upon air quality conditions, presence of major sources of air
pollution on reservations, and the tribes’ interest in and capacity to
carry out CAA programs. For the purposes of estimating the total burden
associated with the regulation, EPA has derived the following estimates:

The estimated number of respondent tribes applying for CAA programs over
the next three years is 25.  The annual average is 8 (25 respondents
divided by 3 years).

EPA estimates 40 hours per respondent for an annual burden of 360 hours.

The average respondent labor cost is $59.05 per hour for
Professional/Technical.  A factor of 110% was added to each labor cost
category per Office of Management and Budget policy.

The annual per respondent cost is $2,362.00.  The annual total cost is
estimated to be $18,896.00 per year for a total of $56,688.00 over the
three-year collection period.

Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

There are no capital and operations and maintenance costs since the
information collection only requires an application for eligibility to
be filed so as to participate in a program. No capital investments are
required to develop the application and no operations and maintenance
costs are encountered.

  Annualizing Capital Costs

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Costs

The burden and cost imposed on the Federal government is a function of
1) the average number of responses to each information collection and
reporting requirements, for this EPA expects 8; and 2) the time required
for the Federal government to review and process that information, and
EPA estimates it will take an average of 40 hours per respondent.  EPA
expects to review, on an annual basis, 8 responses at 40 hours per
response for an annual burden of 320 hours. EPA’s review of the 25
tribal applications -- over the three-year clearance period -- is 1,000
hours.  The review time will be considerably less if the Indian tribe
has already established eligibility with another EPA program, but it
also may be higher.  Each individual respondent has separate and unique
circumstances that affect the amount of time required of the EPA to
process an application.  Therefore, additional time may be required, but
the EPA estimates that it takes on average, 40 hours per respondent to
review, publish, consult, and finalize a single request.

	Annual Burden: 8 responses *40 hrs./response= 320 hrs.

	Total Burden: 25 responses * 40 hrs./response = 1000 hrs.

	The cost imposed on the Federal government for review of the
information requirements is the burden of reviewing information
(described above) and the wages of the typical Federal worker performing
these activities.  The cost associated with salaries and overhead for
Federal employees will probably vary significantly.  As preciously
mentioned, it is difficult to predict the number of hours EPA will spend
on any given respondent. On average it will take 40 hours.

	This ICR uses estimates from the hourly rate for federal workers as per
the Office of Personnel Management’s (OMB) rate for General Service
(GS) federal employees, May, 2010.  The average rate for a GS-10,
$30.88, plus a factor of 160% to include employee benefits as per OMB
policy, amounts to $80.29 per hour labor cost.  The annual Agency cost
is $22,481.20.  The total Agency cost over the three-year collection
period is estimated to be $70,253.75.  See Exhibit 2.

* Annual collection is the average number of collections per year. For
the three-year period, EPA expects a total of 25 respondents. 25
respondents / 3 years = 8 collections annually.

The annualized responses per year over the three year period: 25/3=8.

The annualized burden hours over the three year period is 840/3=280.

6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

The annual burden for the respondents is 320 hours.  The annual cost for
the respondents is $26.096.00.  The total burden and cost for the
respondents is, 1,080 hours at a cost of $78.288.00 for the three-year
collection period.  The annual burden for the Agency is 280 hours.  The
annual cost for the Agency is $22,481.20.

The total burden and cost for the Agency is 875 hours at a cost of
$70,253.75.for the three-year collection period.

Variations in the Annual Bottom Line

The burden and cost estimates are not expected to vary from year to year
over the collection period for this ICR.  That is, the bottom line
tallies presented in Exhibit 1 and 2 are not expected to change over the
course of the next 3 years.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

The 293 Burden Hours approved by OMB for the active ICR (Total Hours
Requested), used the first year of the ICR’s three year period, since
it reflected the highest estimated number of responses. For this ICR, an
annualized average of the ICR’s three year periods were used
(420+300+360)/3=360 hours. The total burden hours have been updated to
reflect new estimates that are based on the number of applications the
EPA received under the previous ICR and what EPA estimates it will
receive in the upcoming years. There is no difference between the active
ICR and this ICR based on our estimates of equal numbers of responses.

	The estimates were revised in part because the respondents that have
already received eligibility will not apply again in this period.
However, they may apply for additional programs and in this case EPA
believes it will take less time to process. EPA estimates that it takes
a respondent an average of 40 hours to process a single request.
Additionally, several respondents that were originally expected to
request eligibility have done so.

	Tribes are not required to seek this eligibility and therefore it is
possible that the actual number of respondents will differ from the
estimates. These numbers represent EPA estimates based on discussion
with regional offices and expectations of the capacity of tribes to
actively seek eligibility.

6(g)  Burden Statement

	The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response.
 Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.  This includes the time needed
to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply
with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.  An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.  The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are
listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
