DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. 2003N-0573]

Animal Cloning Risk Assessment; Risk Management Plan; Guidance
for Industry; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a risk assessment on animal cloning. FDA's Center for
Veterinary Medicine (CVM) developed this risk assessment to evaluate
the health risks to animals involved in the process of cloning and to
evaluate the food consumption risks that may result from edible
products derived from animal clones or their progeny. FDA is also
announcing the availability of a risk management plan for animal clones
and their progeny. The risk management plan takes into account the
risks identified in the risk assessment and sets out measures that FDA
will use to manage those risks. In addition, FDA is announcing
availability of guidance for industry 179. This guidance describes
FDA's recommendations regarding the use of edible products from animal
clones and their progeny in human food or in animal feed.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on agency guidances at any
time.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the risk
assessment, risk management plan, or the guidance for industry to the
Communications Staff (HFV-12), Center for Veterinary Medicine, Food and
Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855. Send a
self-addressed, adhesive label to assist that office in processing your
request. Submit written comments on the guidance for industry to the
Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 3, 2007 (72 FR 136), FDA
published a notice of availability with a 90-day comment period to
request comments on a draft risk assessment on animal cloning. FDA also
announced the availability for public comment of a proposed risk
management plan for animal clones and their progeny and a draft
guidance for industry describing FDA's recommendations regarding the
use of edible products from animal clones and their progeny in human
food or in animal feed. In response to requests to extend the comment
period on these documents, FDA subsequently published a notice in the
Federal Register (72 FR 15887, April 3, 2007) extending the comment
period for an additional 30 days.
    The draft risk assessment evaluated the health effects to animals
involved in the process of cloning and evaluated the food consumption
risks that may result from edible products derived from animal clones
or their progeny. The proposed risk management plan described proposed
measures that the agency might use to address animal health and food
consumption risks identified in the draft risk assessment that were
within the agency's purview. It also described the agency's plans with
regard to issues that were not within the agency's authority to manage
(e.g., ethics) regarding animal cloning. The draft guidance for
industry described FDA's recommendations regarding the introduction of
edible products from animal clones and their progeny into the food and
feed supply.
    FDA has completed a thorough analysis of all comments and
additional information received and has updated the documents
appropriately. FDA has concluded that meat and milk from clones of
cattle, swine, and goats, and the offspring of clones from any species
traditionally consumed as food, are as safe to eat as food from
conventionally bred animals. FDA, however, in its guidance for
industry, is recommending that edible products from clones from animals
other than cattle, swine, or goat (e.g., sheep) not be introduced into
the human food supply. Whereas the scientific data supports the safety
of edible products from clones of cattle, swine, or goat, there is
insufficient scientific data to reach this conclusion for edible
products from other types of animals.

II. Significance of Guidance

    The guidance for industry is a level 1 guidance that is being
issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR
10.115). The guidance represents the agency's current thinking on the
topic. The guidance document does not create or confer any rights for
or on any person and will not operate to bind FDA or the public.
Alternative methods may be used as long as they satisfy the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    For this level 1 final guidance, FDA concludes that there are no
collection of information requirements under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.

IV. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments regarding the guidance
for industry. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper
copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one
paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found
in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be
seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
    Please note that in January 2008 the FDA Web site is expected to
transition to the Federal Dockets Management System (FDMS). FDMS is a
Government-wide, electronic docket management system. After the
transition date electronic submissions will be accepted by FDA through
the FDMS only. When the exact date of the transition to FDMS is known,
FDA will publish a Federal Register notice announcing that date.

    Emission Unit ID(s):  EU 1 - 4SLB SI ICE > 500 HP After January 1, 2008

    Applicable Requirement (Describe and Cite):

    40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ - Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
    Combustion Engines
    Emission Limitations:

    §60.4233(e)
    Table 1 to NSPS JJJJ - 1.0 g/hp-hr NOx; 2.0 g/hp-hr CO, 0.7 g/hp-hr VOC

    General Requirements
     60.4230(a)(4)(ii)
    On or after January 1, 2008, for lean burn engines with a maximum engine power greater than or equal to 500 HP and less than 1,350 HP;

    60.4234
    Owners and operators of stationary SI ICE must operate and maintain stationary SI ICE that achieve the emission standards as required in §60.4233 over the entire life of the engine.

    60.4243 (b)(ii)
    (b) If you are an owner or operator of a stationary SI internal combustion engine and must comply with the emission standards specified in § 60.4233(d) or (e), you must demonstrate compliance according to one of the methods specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section.

    (ii) If you are an owner or operator of a stationary SI internal combustion engine greater than 500 HP, you must keep a maintenance plan and records of conducted maintenance and must, to the extent practicable, maintain and operate the engine in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing emissions. In addition, you must conduct an initial performance test and conduct subsequent performance testing every 8,760 hours or 3 years, whichever comes first, thereafter to demonstrate compliance.

    Performance Testing
    60.4244
        Owners and operators of stationary SI ICE who conduct performance tests must follow the procedures
        in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this section.

    (a)  Each performance test must be conducted within 10 percent of 100 percent peak (or the highest achievable) load and according to the requirements in §60.8 and under the specific conditions that are specified by Table 2 to this subpart.
    (b)  You may not conduct performance tests during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, as specified in §60.8(c). If your stationary SI internal combustion engine is non-operational, you do not need to startup the engine solely to conduct a performance test; however, you must conduct the performance test immediately upon startup of the engine.
    (c)  You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance test required in this section, as specified in §60.8(f). Each test run must be conducted within 10 percent of 100 percent peak (or the highest achievable) load and last at least 1 hour.
    (d)  To determine compliance with the NOX mass per unit output emission limitation, convert the concentration of NOX in the engine exhaust using Equation 1 of this section:
    (e)  To determine compliance with the CO mass per unit output emission limitation, convert the concentration of CO in the engine exhaust using Equation 2 of this section:
    (f)	For purposes of this subpart, when calculating emissions of VOC, emissions of formaldehyde should not be included. To determine compliance with the VOC mass per unit output emission limitation, convert the concentration of VOC in the engine exhaust using Equation 3 of this section.
    (g)  If the owner/operator chooses to measure VOC emissions using either Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, or Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A, then it has the option of correcting the measured VOC emissions to account for the potential differences in measured values between these methods and Method 25A. The results from Method 18 and Method 320 can be corrected for response factor differences using Equations 4 and 5 of this section. The corrected VOC concentration can then be placed on a propane basis using Equation 6 of this section.

    Notification, Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements
    60.4245
 Owners and operators of all stationary SI ICE must keep records of the information in
        paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section.
  All notifications submitted to comply with this subpart and all documentation supporting
              any notification.
        (2)  Maintenance conducted on the engine.
        (3)  If the stationary SI internal combustion engine is a certified engine, documentation from
              the manufacturer that the engine is certified to meet the emission standards and
              information as required in 40 CFR parts 90, 1048, 1054, and 1060, as applicable.
        (4)  If the stationary SI internal combustion engine is not a certified engine or is a certified
              engine operating in a non-certified manner and subject to §60.4243(a)(2), documentation
              that the engine meets the emission standards.
        (d)  Owners and operators of stationary SI ICE that are subject to performance testing must
               submit a copy of each performance test as conducted in §60.4244 within 60 days after the
               test has been completed. Performance test reports using EPA Method 18, EPA Method
               320, or ASTM D6348-03 (incorporated by reference -- see 40 CFR 60.17) to measure VOC
              require reporting of all QA/QC data. For Method 18, report results from sections 8.4 and
              <IP_ADDRESS>; for Method 320, report results from sections 8.6.2, 9.0, and 13.0; and for ASTM

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1094; Airspace Docket No. 08-ASO-18]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Russellville, AL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E Airspace at Russellville, AL.
Airspace is needed to support new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures
(SIAPs) that have been developed for Russellville Municipal Airport. As
a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above
Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the SIAP and for Instrument
Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport. The operating status of
the airport will change from Visual flight Rules (VFR) to include IFR
operations concurrent with the publication of the SIAP. This action
enhances the safety and airspace management of Russellville Municipal
Airport, Russellville, AL.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 12, 2009. 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 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. Comments for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse
or negative comments, and, therefore, issues it as a direct final rule.
The FAA has determined that this rule only involves an established body
of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally current. Unless a written adverse
or negative comment or a written notice of intent to submit an adverse
or negative comment is received within the comment period, the
regulation will become effective on the date specified above. After the
close of the comment period, the FAA will publish a document in the
Federal Register indicating that no adverse or negative comments were
received and confirming the effective date. If the FAA receives, within
the comment period, an adverse or negative comment, or written notice
of intent to submit such a comment, a document withdrawing the direct
final rule will be published in the Federal Register, and a notice of
proposed rulemaking may be published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

    Although this action is in the form of a direct final rule, and was
not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking, interested persons are
invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, views,
or arguments as they may desire. An electronic copy of this document
may be downloaded from and comments may be submitted and reviewed at
http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking documents can
also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/
airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address specified under the caption ADDRESSES above
or through the Web site. All communications received on or before the
closing date for comments will be considered, and this rule may be
amended or withdrawn in light of the comments received.
    Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might
suggest a need to modify the rule. Factual information that supports
the commenter's idea and suggestions is extremely helpful in evaluating
the effectiveness of this action and determining whether additional
rulemaking action would be needed. All comments submitted will be
available, both before and after the closing date for comments, in the
Rules Docket for examination by interested persons. Those wishing the
FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments submitted in response to
this rule must submit a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2008-1094;
Airspace Docket No. 08-ASO-18.'' The postcard will be date stamped and
returned to the commenter.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Russellville, AL, to provide
controlled airspace required to support the Approach Procedures (SIAPs)
that have been developed for Russellville Municipal Airport.
Designations for Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet
or more above the surface of the earth are published in FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Agency Findings

    The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of government. Therefore, it is
determined that this direct final rule does not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132.
    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.
It, therefore, (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
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.
    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 establishes Class E airspace at Russellville, AL.

closed-to-navigation position during specific dates and times occurring
between November 24, 2014 and January 21, 2015. The scheduled closures
during this temporary deviation are as follows:

November 24th, 2014 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., one 8-hour closure;
December 15-23, 2014, 2 two-hour closures each day;
December 30, 2014 to January 5, 2015, 2 two-hour closures each day;
From 7 a.m., January 6 to 7 a.m., January 8, 2015; one 48-hour closure;
January 8-12, 2015, 2 two-hour daily closures each day; and
January 13-21, 2015, 2 two-hour closures each day.

    These closures are necessary to install a new generator and motor.
The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    The Rob Roy Railroad Drawbridge currently operates in accordance
with 33 CFR 117.5, which states the general requirement that drawbridge
shall open promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when a request
to open is given in accordance with the subpart.
    There are no alternate routes for vessels transiting this section
of the Arkansas River.
    The Rob Roy Railroad Drawbridge, in the closed-to-navigation
position, provides a vertical clearance of 17.6 feet above normal pool.
Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial tows and
recreational watercraft and will not be significantly impacted. This
temporary deviation has been coordinated with waterway users. No
objections were received.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the

end of the effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: November 20, 2014.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and
Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-
600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. This proposed
AD was prompted by a report of an uncommanded slide back of the co-
pilot seat to the end stop position. This proposed AD would require a
one-time inspection for a part number, a tensile test of the affected
seats, and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to
detect and prevent unwanted movement of a pilot or co-pilot seat in the
horizontal direction, which could lead to inadvertent input on the
flight control commands and possibly result in loss of controllability
of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 24,
2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the aviation
authority for Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0102, dated June 8, 2012 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    During a steep climb manoeuvre that was flown with a high pitch
(25[deg]) for training of ground threat avoidance, an Airbus A310
aeroplane experienced an uncommanded slide back of the co-pilot seat
to the end stop position.
    Investigation revealed that on the affected seat, the disc key
inside the clutch was broken. SOGERMA Service Bulletin (SB) No
2510112-25-813, which addresses the previous end stop switch issue
and which is covered by EASA AD 2010-0070 [which corresponds to FAA
AD 2011-06-09, Amendment 39-16634 (76 FR 15805, March 22, 2011)] had
been accomplished on this seat, but due to seizure, the key failure
was not detected at time. This broken disc key caused a jamming
between the gear and the shaft of the clutch. Despite this failure,
the torque transmission between the gear and the shaft was
sufficient for normal operation, but not to keep the seat in locked
position during climbing, due to the high longitudinal loads
generated by the high aeroplane incidence.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could cause the
pilot to lose contact with the controls, leading to an inadvertent
input on the flight control commands during take-off or climb,
possibly resulting in loss of control of the aeroplane.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection [part number (P/N) inspection of the seats and
tensile test] of the affected seats and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s) [replacing the
seat or modifying the seat by replacing actuator P/N RT19H4FX with a
new actuator].

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

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Alert Operators Transmission A25W001-12, dated
June 6, 2012; and EADS SOGERMA has issued Inspection Service Bulletin

2510112-25-898, dated April 25, 2012. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

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 the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 161 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 1 work-hour per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $4,523 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 the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $741,888, or $4,608 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 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

    Abstract: WaterSense is a voluntary program designed to create
self-sustaining markets for water-efficient products and services via a
common label. The program provides incentives for manufacturers and
builders to design, produce, and market water-efficient products and
homes. In addition, the program provides incentives for certified
professionals (e.g. certified irrigation auditors, designers, or
installation and maintenance professionals) to deliver water-efficient
services. The program also encourages consumers and commercial and
institutional purchasers of water-using products and systems to choose
water-efficient products and use water-efficient practices.
    As part of strategic planning efforts, EPA encourages programs to
develop meaningful performance measures, set ambitious targets, and
link budget expenditures to results. Data collected under this ICR will
assist WaterSense in demonstrating results and carrying out evaluation
efforts to ensure continual program improvement. In addition, the data
will help EPA estimate water and

energy savings and inform future product categories and specifications.

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

    NASD is proposing to amend NASD Rule 7002B to establish a fee for
reports that are submitted to the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility
(the ``NASD/Nasdaq TRF'') to process transaction fees charged by one
member to another member pursuant to NASD Rule 6130(h). In addition,
NASD is proposing technical, non-substantive amendments to the NASD
Rule 7000 Series to change all references to the ``Trade Reporting
Facility'' to the ``NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility.''
    Below is the text of the proposed rule change. Proposed new
language is in italics; proposed deletions are in brackets.
* * * * *
7000B. Charges For NASD/NASDAQ Trade Reporting Facility Services
7001B. Securities Transaction Credit

    NASD members that trade securities listed on the NYSE (``Tape A''),
Amex (``Tape B''), or Nasdaq (``Tape C'') in over-the-counter
transactions reported to the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility may
receive from the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility transaction
credits based on the transactions attributed to them. A transaction is
attributed to a member if the member is identified as the executing
party in a trade report submitted to the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting
Facility that the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility submits to the
Consolidated Tape Association or the Nasdaq Securities Information
Processor. An NASD member may earn credits from any of three pools
maintained by the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility. The Tape A,
Tape B, and Tape C pools represent 50% of the revenue paid by the
Consolidated Tape Association or the Nasdaq Securities Information
Processor with respect to the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility for
each of Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C transactions after deducting the
amount, if any, that the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility pays to
the Consolidated Tape Association or the Nasdaq Securities Information
Processor for capacity usage. An NASD member may earn credits from the
pools according to the pro rata share of revenue attributable to over-
the-counter transactions reported to the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting
Facility by the member in each of Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C for each
calendar quarter. Credits will be paid on a quarterly basis.

7002B. NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility Reporting Fees

    The following charges shall be paid by participants for use of the
NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility. In the case of trades where the
same market participant is on both sides of a trade report, applicable
fees assessed on a ``per side'' basis will be assessed once, rather
than twice.

7003B. Aggregation of Activity of Affiliated Members

    (a) For purposes of applying any provision of the Rule 7000B Series
that reflects a charge assessed, or credit provided, by the NASD/Nasdaq
Trade Reporting Facility, a member may request that the NASD/Nasdaq
Trade Reporting Facility aggregate its activity with the activity of
its affiliates. A member requesting aggregation of affiliate activity
shall be required to certify to NASD the affiliate status of entities
whose activity it seeks to aggregate prior to receiving approval for
aggregation, and shall be required to inform NASD immediately of any
event that causes an entity to cease to be an affiliate. In addition,
NASD reserves the right to request information to verify the affiliate
status of an entity.
    (b) For purposes of applying any provision of the Rule 7000B Series
that reflects a charge assessed, or credit provided, by the NASD/Nasdaq
Trade Reporting Facility, references to an entity (including references
to a ``member,'' a ``participant,'' or a ``Trade Reporting Facility
Participant'') shall be deemed to include the entity and its affiliates
that have been approved for aggregation.
    (c) No Change.

7004B. Late Fees

    (a) All charges imposed by the NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting Facility
that are past due 45 days or more will be subject to a late fee
computed by taking the summation of one and one-half percent (1\1/2\%)
of the amount past due for the first month plus one and one-half
percent (1\1/2\%) of the amount past due for any month thereafter,
compounded by late fees assessed for previous months.
    (b) No Change.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NASD 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. NASD 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
    NASD recently filed a proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness to allow NASD members to use the NASD/Nasdaq TRF to
process transaction fees charged by one member to another member on
trades in NMS stocks, as defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS
under the Act, effected otherwise than on an exchange.\6\ NASD Rule
6130(h) provides that members may agree in advance to such transfers
through the submission of a clearing report. Such report, inclusive of
the transaction fee, will be submitted to the National Securities
Clearing Corporation for processing. To facilitate the transfer of the
transaction fee, the report submitted to the NASD/Nasdaq TRF shall
provide, in addition to all other information required to be submitted
by any other rule, a total per share or contract price amount,
inclusive of the transaction fee. NASD Rule 6130(h) relates solely to
transaction fees charged by one NASD member to another NASD member.
Members cannot use the NASD/Nasdaq TRF to facilitate the transfer of
fees for transactions with a customer (i.e., clients that are not
brokers or dealers) or a non-member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56007 (July 3,
2007), 72 FR 37807 (July 11, 2007) (notice of filing and immediate
effectiveness of SR-NASD-2007-046). SR-NASD-2007-046 became
operative on July 9, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD is proposing to establish the fee to be charged by the NASD/
Nasdaq TRF for the use of this service.\7\ Pursuant to NASD Rule 7002B,
the fee will be $0.03 per side for each clearing report submitted to
the NASD/Nasdaq TRF to transfer a transaction fee. This fee is in
addition to any other fee applicable to the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ NASD did not propose any fees for this service as part of
SR-NASD-2007-046.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, NASD is proposing technical, non-substantive
amendments to the NASD Rule 7000 Series to change all references to the
``Trade Reporting Facility'' to the ``NASD/Nasdaq Trade Reporting
Facility.'' These changes are consistent with the NASD Rule 7000C
Series (relating to the NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility), 7000D
Series (relating to the NASD/BSE Trade Reporting Facility), and 7000E
Series (relating to the NASD/NYSE Trade Reporting Facility).
    NASD has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The operative date of the proposed rule change will be
August 1, 2007.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASD believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A of the Act,\8\ in general, and with Section
15A(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it provides for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system
which NASD operates or controls. NASD believes that the fees are
reasonably allocated among members based on their usage of the
functionality to transfer explicit fees, and are generally consistent
with other fees charged by the NASD/Nasdaq TRF for value added
services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3.
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \11\ thereunder,
because it involves a member due, fee, or other charge. At any time
within sixty (60) days of the filing of such 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On April 13, 2021, the State of North Carolina submitted changes to
the North Carolina SIP for EPA's approval.\1\ Specifically, EPA is
proposing to approve changes to the North Carolina SIP related to 15A
North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02D, Rule .0615,
Delegation.\2\ The April 13, 2021, SIP revision seeks to remove the
aforementioned regulation from the SIP because the regulation is
unnecessary and has been repealed at the state level.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA received the submittal on April 14, 2021, and for
clarity, refers to the submission per its ``letter date'' of April
13, 2021, throughout this notice.
    \2\ EPA notes that the Agency received several revisions to the
North Carolina SIP that were transmitted with the same April 13,
2021, cover letter. EPA will be considering action for these other
SIP revisions in separate rulemakings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Analysis of the State's Submittal

    The April 13, 2021, SIP revision seeks to remove 15 NCAC 02D, Rule
.0615--Delegation, from the North Carolina SIP. Rule .0615 provides
that the Director of the DAQ has the authority to delegate his or her
administrative and approval functions under Section 02D .0600,
Monitoring: Recordkeeping: Reporting, to other officials in the
Division. North Carolina states in its April 13, 2021, submittal that
this rule is unnecessary and was repealed at the state level. EPA is
proposing to approve the removal of Rule .0615 from the SIP for these
reasons and because removal will not impact emissions or interfere with
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS or any other applicable
requirement of the Act.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
amended regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. EPA
is proposing to remove 15A NCAC 02D, Rule .0615--Delegation, state
effective on November 1, 2020, from the North Carolina State
Implementation Plan, which is incorporated by reference in accordance
with the requirements of 1

CFR part 51. EPA has made, and will continue to make, the State
Implementation Plan generally available at the EPA Region 4 Office
(please contact the person identified in the ``For Further Information
Contact'' section of this preamble for more information).

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve changes to the North Carolina SIP.
Specifically, for the reasons described above, EPA is proposing to
approve the removal of 15 NCAC 02D, Rule .0615--Delegation, from the
North Carolina SIP.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. This action merely
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). The SIP is not
approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area
where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of a continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information
is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of
the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupationl injuries, illnesses, and accidents
(29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent
feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in obtaining information (29
U.S.C. 657).
    Section 1910.255(e) requires that a periodic inspection of
resistance welding equipment be made by qualified maintenance
personnel, and that a certification record be generated and maintained.
The certification shall include the date of the inspection, the
signature of the person who performed the inspection and the serial
number, or other identifier, for the equipment inspected. The record
shall be made available to an OSHA inspector upon request. The
maintenance inspection ensures that welding equipment is in safe
operating condition while the maintenance record provides evidence to
workers and agency compliance officers that employers performed the
required inspections.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the collection
of information (paperwork) requirements contained in the Standard for
Welding, Cutting, and Brazing (29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q). The agency
requests an adjustment decrease of 231 burden hours (from 5,732 burden
hours to 5,501 burden hours) associated with the collection of
information. The agency will summarize any comments submitted in
response to this notice and will include this summary in its request to
OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: The Standard for Welding, Cutting, and Brazing (29 CFR part
1910, subpart Q).
    OMB Number: 1218-0207.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 20,627.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 82,508.
    Average Time per Response: OSHA estimates it will take 1 minute
(.02 hour) to maintain the inspection certification record to 5 minutes
(.08 hour) for each welder to perform the inspection periodically
(semiannually).
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,501.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
