SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61101; File No. SR-ISE-2009-99]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to Amending the Direct Edge ECN Fee Schedule

December 2, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on November 30, 2009, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(the ``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I, II, and III 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\ 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 Direct Edge ECN's (``DECN'') fee
schedule for ISE Members \3\ to (i) amend its fee schedule to reflect
pass through charges of other market centers and (ii) make technical
changes to the fee schedule. All of the changes described herein are
applicable to ISE Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ References to ISE Members in this filing refer to DECN
Subscribers who are ISE Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All of the changes described herein are applicable to ISE Members.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.ise.com.

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 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
    DECN, a facility of ISE, operates two trading platforms, EDGX and
EDGA. On October 1, 2009,\4\ the Exchange added new fee categories for
the INET order type. When a member routes to Nasdaq using the INET
order type and removes liquidity on Tapes A or C, the member incurs a
fee of $0.0030 on either EDGA or EDGX. Such situation yields Flag
``L''. The INET order type sweeps the EDGA or EDGX book, and routes the
remainder to Nasdaq. If the order is marketable, it removes liquidity
from the EDGA or EDGX book, as applicable, first. If the order is non-
marketable, the order posts on Nasdaq. With regards to a Member's use
of the INET order type for Tapes A or C securities, Members routing an
ADV: (i) Less than 5,000,000 shares are currently charged $0.0030 per
share, as described in the schedule; (ii) equal to or greater than
5,000,000 shares but less than 20,000,000 shares are currently charged
$0.0027 per share; (iii) equal to or greater than 20,000,000 shares but
less than 30,000,001 shares are currently charged $0.0026 per share;
and (iv) equal to or greater than 30,000,001 shares are currently
charged $0.0025 per share. The rates, in all cases, are calculated for
shares removed from Nasdaq. The Exchange believes that these tier-based
rates incent Members to sweep the EDGA or EDGX book first and then
offer a discounted rate to Nasdaq's rates if the remainder of the order
is routed to Nasdaq. These discounted rates arise in part from reduced
administrative costs associated with certain volume levels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60769 (October 2,
2009), 74 FR 51903 (October 8, 2009) (SR-ISE-2009-68).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend these fees in order to reflect
changes to the actual transaction fees assessed by away markets.
Specifically, the Exchange is proposing to amend its fee schedule to
reflect changes to Nasdaq's best removal tier rate. For example, on
November 1, 2009, the best removal tier rate increased on Nasdaq from
$0.0027 per share executed to $0.0028 per share executed for Tape A & C
securities.\5\ The Exchange now proposes to amend its fee schedule so
that when Nasdaq's best removal tier rate changes, EDGA and EDGX's fees
change as well, in lock step. The new language is proposed to read as
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60959 (November 6,
2009), 74 FR 58672 (November 13, 2009)(SR-NASDAQ-2009-096).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subscribers routing an average daily volume (``ADV''): (i) Less
than 5,000,000 shares will be charged $0.0030 per share, as described
in the schedule; (ii) equal to or greater than 5,000,000 shares but
less than 20,000,000 shares will be charged Nasdaq's best removal tier
rate per share; (iii) equal to or greater than 20,000,000 shares but
less than 30,000,001 shares will be charged Nasdaq's best removal tier
rate--$0.0001 per share; and (iv) equal to or greater than 30,000,001
shares will be charged Nasdaq's best removal tier rate--$0.0002 per
share. The rates, in all cases, are calculated for shares removed from
Nasdaq. (emphasis added)
    For the month of December this would equate to $0.0028 per share
for (ii), above, $0.0027 per share for (iii), above, and $0.0026 per
share for (iv), as described above.
    In addition, the Exchange proposes to make technical changes to the
fee schedule. Effective November 1, 2009,\6\ the Exchange amended the
meaning of several flags. In particular, the N and W flags are no
longer used to reflect activity outside of regular market hours. The
Exchange adopted flags 3-7 to reflect pre- and post-market activity.
Therefore, the Exchange proposes to correct a reference in footnote 1
to the fee schedule to reflect this change. The new language is
proposed to read as follows: In addition, subscribers can also qualify
for a rebate of $0.0032 per share for all liquidity posted on EDGX if
they add or route at least 10,000,000 shares of average daily volume
prior to 9:30 a.m. or after 4 p.m. (includes all flags except 6) AND
add a minimum of 75,000,000 shares of average daily volume on EDGX in
total, including during both market hours and pre and post-trading
hours. (emphasis added) The changes discussed in this filing will
become operative on December 1, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60914 (November 2,
2009), 74 FR 57726 (November 9, 2009)(SR-ISE-2009-88).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\7\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\8\ in particular, in that
it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees and other charges among its members and other persons using
its facilities. In particular, providing tier-based rates for Members
provide pricing incentives to market participants that route orders to
DECN, allowing DECN to remain competitive. This tier-based rate arises
in part from reduced administrative costs associated with certain
volume levels. ISE notes that DECN operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive. The proposed rule change reflects a competitive pricing
structure designed to incent market participants to direct their order
flow to DECN. ISE believes the fees and credits remain competitive with
those charged by other venues and therefore continue to be reasonable
and equitably allocated to those members that opt to direct orders to
DECN rather than competing venues. Additionally, ISE believes that the
proposed rates are equitable in that they apply uniformly to all
Members.

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

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

    The proposed rule change does not 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 not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \10\ thereunder. At any
time within 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.

E. Background

    The HSRB is a Federal advisory committee operating in accordance
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act 5 U.S.C. App. 2 Sec.  9. The
HSRB provides advice, information, and recommendations to the EPA on
issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects
research. The major objectives of the HSRB are to provide advice and
recommendations on: (1) Research proposals and protocols; (2) reports
of completed research with human subjects; and (3) how to strengthen
EPA's programs for protection of human subjects of research. The HSRB
reports to the EPA Administrator through the Agency's Science Advisor.
    1. Topics for discussion. At its meeting on November 1, 2012, EPA's
Human Studies Review Board will consider scientific and ethical issues
surrounding this topic:
    a. A completed study report from the Antimicrobial Exposure
Assessment Task Force II (AEATF) in which the dermal and inhalation
exposure of professional janitorial workers was monitored as they
poured liquid antimicrobial pesticide products from conventional or
reduced-splash containers into different sizes and types of source
containers. EPA seeks the advice of the HSRB on the scientific
soundness of this completed research and on its appropriateness for use
in estimating exposure that results from pouring liquid antimicrobial
pesticide products. EPA also seeks the advice of the HSRB on whether
available information supports a determination that the study was
conducted in substantial compliance with subparts K and L of 40 CFR
part 26.
    2. Meeting minutes and reports. Minutes of the meeting, summarizing
the matters discussed and recommendations, if any, made by the advisory
committee regarding such matters, will be released within 90 calendar
days of the meeting. Such minutes will be available at http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ and http://www.regulations.gov. In addition,
information regarding the Board's final meeting report will be found at
http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ or from the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 3603 of the FDORA requires FDA to convene one or more
public workshops to solicit input from various stakeholders on
increasing diversity in clinical studies. To meet the FDORA
requirement, FDA will convene a workshop with key participants,
including drug and device sponsors, clinical research organizations,
academia, patients and patient advocates, study site investigators, and
the public, to gather input on how to enhance clinical study diversity
by discussing ways to (1) increase enrollment of historically
underrepresented populations in clinical studies and (2) encourage
clinical study participation that reflects the prevalence of the
disease or condition among demographic subgroups, where appropriate.
The public workshop scheduled for November 29, 2023, and November 30,
2023, will fulfill the requirement to convene a public workshop no
later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of FDORA.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    At the public workshop, FDA plans to solicit input from
participants on increasing the enrollment of historically
underrepresented populations in clinical studies and encouraging
clinical study participation that reflects disease prevalence or
incidence data, including but not limited to:
    1. The collection and presentation of disease prevalence and
incidence data by demographic group.

    2. The dissemination of information to the public on clinical study
enrollment demographic data.
    3. The establishment of goals for clinical study enrollment,
including the relevance of disease prevalence and incidence.
    4. The approaches to include underrepresented populations and
encourage participation that reflects the population expected to use
the drug or device, if approved, including:
    A. The establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria for
certain subgroups, such as pregnant and lactating women and individuals
with disabilities, including intellectual or developmental disabilities
or mental illness.
    B. The considerations regarding informed consent with respect to
individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities or mental
illness, including ethical and scientific considerations.
    C. The appropriate use of decentralized trials or digital health
tools, clinical endpoints, biomarker selection, and studying analysis.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"Lombard, Mark"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Subject: RE: latest draft of RICE package

Cortney and Melanie,

I have a comment on the addition -- on pages 43, 167, and 169 -- to the
language about postponement of maintenance in cases where having the diesel
unavailable would pose an unacceptable risk. The material added in this latest
draft would have the source report (to whom?) that maintenance had been
postponed, and report "the federal, state or local law that *defined* the
unacceptable risk." I would ask you instead to consider the following
substitute for the words I just quoted: "the federal, state or local law under
which the risk was deemed unacceptable."

I would prefer the latter formulation because I'm not sure that our
maintenance regulation (10 CFR 50.65) or the guidance and inspection documents
I sent you would exactly be said to "define" unacceptable risk. The regulatory
program is more case-specific than that. See, for example, section C on page 3
of the first attachment, and page 2 of the 2d attachment, both of which I sent
you on 7th. Nonetheless, the risk could rightly be said to have been deemed
unacceptable under a regulatory program rooted in rule and implemented through
guidance and close inspection.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>Subject: latest draft of RICE package

Cortney,
Attached is the revised preamble and regulation text and revised RIA for the
RICE NESHAP.  Also attached is the revised RIA.  You will notice a few changes
to the package.
1) We were still referencing some recordkeeping and reporting requirements ior
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) in the Part 63 General Provisions
that didn't make sense anymore in light of the recent Court decision on the
SSM exemption.  Therefore what we have done is instead of referencing those
sections, we have included the appropriate text from the General Provisions
directly in subpart ZZZZ itself, and removed the text that wasn't applicable
anymore.  You will see those changes in 63.6650(c)(4), 63.6655(a)(2), and
Table 7.  In Table 7 we have removed the requirement for an immediate SSM
report and limited line 1.c. to malfunction only.  We are not adding new
requirements, just eliminating ones that didn't make sense to include anymore.
 OGC also made a few edits to the SSM discussion in the preamble.
2) OGC preferred that we not the references to subpart E into subpart ZZZZ.
 They said that it was a freestanding subpart and there was no need to
reference it here.  We do still mention it in the preamble.

Larry is going to send you the RIA separately.

In response to the issues that are still outstanding with SBA, we reiterate
that we have focused the requirements for emission controls on a the subset of
the population of stationary CI engines that has the greatest impact on
people.  The total estimated population of existing stationary CI engines is
936,000.  The estimated number of engines that have emission standards based
on the use of oxidation catalyst control is 44,000, which is 5 percent of the
total population.  While these engines are only 5 percent of the population,
they emit an estimated 44 percent of the total HAP emissions from existing
stationary CI engines.
We cover the remaining HAP emissions through work or management practice
standards on the remaining population of stationary CI engines (except the
100-300 HP engines at major sources which have emission limits that are based
on data from engines without oxidation catalyst control).

We have made several changes since the proposed rule that further reduce the
burden of the rule on affected sources.  These changes include:
1) The final rule has no numerical emission limits for emergency engines and
for engines <100 HP at major sources
2) Residential/institutional/commercial emergency engines at area sources are
not subject to the final rule
3) We revised the management practice frequencies and added the option to use
an oil analysis program

We performed economic impact analysis which showed that the rule would not
result in significant economic impacts for a substantial number of
small entities.   There have been no facts provided by SBA to support
the claim that there are tens of thousands of agricultural engines that will
be heavily impacted by this rulemaking.  The rule imposes management practice
standards for engines at area sources that are less than 300 HP.  The
information that we received from comment letters indicated that engines used
by the agricultural sector were predominately smaller than 300 HP.  See for
example the comment from the American Farm Bureau Federation (-0174) which
states "In most instances, the engines are of the compression ignition type
rated at 300 hp or less."  The comment letter from Southern Gardens Citrus
Holding Corporation (-0189) stated that they operate 74 stationary RICE, of
which one is greater than 300 HP.  That means 1.4 percent of their engines are
>300 HP.  Other commenters provided similar information.

EPA does not believe that a limited use subcategory is warranted or justified.
 For engines smaller than 300 HP, if we created a limited use subcategory, the
requirements would not be different than for other non-emergency engines,
since we are already requiring the MACT floor emission limits for major
sources and management practices for area sources of that size.  For engines
greater than 300 HP, we believe that the costs of control are acceptable given
the reductions that would be achieved from these engines.

We believe a broad national rule that provides equal environmental protection
to populations in both urban and rural areas is appropriate for stationary CI
engines.  The emission controls that are the basis of the rule are equally
available in urban and rural areas, and the cost of
control is not significantly higher in rural areas.   EPA does not have
precise information on the location of these engines such that we could do air
quality modeling on the emissions and impact on specific populations.
 However, even if the engines are located in rural areas, many of them would
be upwind of more highly populated areas.  SBA has proposed that rural engines
be excluded from retrofits if no person resides within 300 meters.  We do not
find that it is appropriate to incorporate this provision in the rule because
we do not believe that the emissions from these engines only travel 300 meters
or less.
Attached is a document that discusses this issue in much more detail.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2015-0105, Notice 2]

Decision That Nonconforming Model Year 2010 Lamborghini
Murcielago Passenger Cars Are Eligible for Importation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Grant of petition.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces a decision by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration that certain model year (MY) 2010
Lamborghini Murcielago passenger cars (PCs) that were not originally
manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) are eligible for importation into the United States
because they are substantially similar to vehicles originally
manufactured for sale in the United States and certified by their
manufacturer as complying with the safety standards (the U.S. certified

version of the MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago PC), and they are capable
of being readily altered to conform to the standards.

DATES: This decision became effective on October 3, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Stevens, Office of Vehicle
Safety Compliance, NHTSA<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United
States, certified as required under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same
model year as the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is
capable of being readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc., of Santa Ana, CA (G&K) (Registered
Importer #RI-90-007), petitioned NHTSA to decide whether MY 2010
Lamborghini Murcielago PCs are eligible for importation into the United
States. NHTSA published a notice of the petition on May 2, 2017 (82 FR
20532) to afford an opportunity for public comment. No comments were
received in response to this petition. The reader is referred to the
receipt notice for a thorough description of the petition.

NHTSA's Conclusions

    NHTSA has reviewed the petition and has concluded that the vehicles
covered by the petition are substantially similar to MY 2010
Lamborghini Murcielago PCs and are capable of being readily altered to
comply with all applicable FMVSS.
    NHTSA has also concluded that each RI who imports and modifies one
of these vehicles must include in the statement of conformity and
associated documents (``conformity package'') it submits to the NHTSA
under 49 CFR part 592.6(d) explicit proof to confirm that the vehicle
was, where applicable, originally manufactured to conform to, or was
successfully altered to conform to, FMVSS No. 101 Controls and
Displays, FMVSS No. 138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, FMVSS No.
208, Occupant Crash Protection, and FMVSS No. 301 Fuel System
Integrity. This proof must include detailed descriptions of all
modifications made, including a detailed description of systems in
place (if any) on the vehicle as delivered to the RI, and a similarly
detailed description of alterations made to the vehicle and said
systems, including photographs of all required labeling. The
descriptions must also include parts assembly diagrams and associated
part numbers for all components that were removed from or installed in
the vehicle, an accounting of any computer programming modifications
undertaken and a description of how compliance was verified after
alteration of the vehicle.
    In addition to the information specified above, each conformity
package must also include evidence showing how the RI verified that the
changes it made in loading or reprograming vehicle software to achieve
conformity with each separate FMVSS, did not also cause the vehicle to
fall out of compliance with any other applicable FMVSS.

Decision

    Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides
that MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago passenger cars that were not
originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS, are
substantially similar to MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago passenger cars
manufactured for importation into and/or sale in the United States, and
certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and are capable of being readily
altered to conform to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.

Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject Vehicles

    The importer of a vehicle admissible under any final decision must
indicate on the form HS-7 accompanying entry the appropriate vehicle
eligibility number indicating that the vehicle is eligible for entry.
VSP-595 is the vehicle eligibility number assigned to vehicles
admissible under this notice of final decision.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 would amend controlled
airspace at the Missouri airports listed in this NPRM.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2015-0842/
Airspace Docket No. 15-ACE-2.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet 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/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the office of the Central Service Center, 2601
Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137.
    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures
(SIAP) at Chillicothe Municipal Airport, Chillicothe, MO; Cuba
Municipal Airport, Cuba, MO; Farmington Regional Airport, Farmington,
MO; Lamar Municipal Airport, Lamar, MO; Mountain View Airport, Mountain
View, MO; Nevada Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and Poplar Bluff
Municipal Airport, Poplar Bluff, MO. Also, Class E airspace extending
upward from the surface would be amended at Farmington Regional
Airport, Farmington, MO. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to
the decommissioning of NDBs and/or cancellation of the NDB approach at
each airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations for SIAPs at the airports. Geographic
coordinates also would be adjusted for Lamar Municipal Airport, Lamar,
MO; Nevada Municipal Airport, Nevada, MO; and Poplar Bluff Municipal
Airport, Poplar Bluff, MO, to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical
database.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under 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.

Environmental Review

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

[EPA-R03-OAR-2007-0254; FRL-8304-9]

State Operating Permits Program; Maryland; Revision to the Acid
Rain Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the operating permit program revision
submitted by the State of Maryland for the purpose of amending the Code
of Maryland Administrative Regulations' (COMAR) incorporation by
reference citations to ensure that future changes to the Federal Acid
Rain program will continue to be incorporated into Maryland's
regulations. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA
is approving the State's operating permit program revision submittal as
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views
this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to
this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 25, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2007-0254 by one of the following methods:

unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail.

which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov,

your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available
on the

Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. 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. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or

State of Washington Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program
Revision Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to
approve the State of Washington Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Program revisions as required by rule under the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA). The Agency determined that the state's revisions are consistent
with the provisions of the SDWA and are as stringent as all applicable
federal regulations to prevent underground injection activities that
endanger underground sources of drinking water. The state revised its
UIC Class V Program regulations and transferred oversight authority
from the Department of Ecology to the Energy Facility Site Evaluation
Council to issue UIC permits at energy facilities. EPA requests public
comment on this proposed rule and supporting documentation. In the
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, the Agency
published EPA's approval of the state's program revision as a direct
final rule without a prior proposed rule. If the Agency receives no
adverse comment, EPA will not take further action on this proposed
rule.

DATES: Written comments must be received by May 6, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2012-0186, by one of the following methods:
     http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting comments.
     Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     Mail: State of Washington; Underground Injection Control
(UIC) Primacy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
     Hand Delivery: Water Docket, EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC)
EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. Such
deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of
operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of

553-6984; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule?

    EPA proposes to approve by rule the state's UIC Class V Program
revisions and the transfer of oversight authority from the Department
of Ecology to the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council to issue UIC
permits at energy facilities, as required under the SDWA to prevent
underground injection activities that endanger underground sources of
drinking water. Accordingly, the Agency proposes to codify the state's
program revisions in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR
part 147. The Agency has published a direct final rule in the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, approving the
state's program revisions, because EPA views the revisions as
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comment. The Agency
provided reasons for the approval and additional supplementary
information in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives
no adverse comment, the Agency will not take further action on this
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comment, the Agency will
withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA
would then address all public comments in any subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. The EPA does not intend to institute a
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time. For further information, please
contact the persons in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this document.

Administrator.
