Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65. The currently
effective community number is shown and must be used for all new
policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2014-0237]

Agency Information Collection Activities; New Information
Collection: Generic Clearance of Customer Satisfaction Surveys

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA
announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its
review and approval and invites public comment. Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public that matches
or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. In order
to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet
our customers' needs, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect
feedback on our service delivery. By feedback we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study. On August 29, 2014, FMCSA
published a notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 51639) allowing for a
60-day comment period on this ICR. The agency received no comments in
response to that notice.

DATES: Please send your comments by January 14, 2015. OMB must receive
your comments by this date in order to act on the ICR.

ADDRESSES: All comments should reference Federal Docket Management
System (FDMS) Docket Number FMCSA-2014-0237. Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on the proposed information
collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office
of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the attention
of the Desk Officer, Department of Transportation/Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, and sent via electronic mail to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>, or mailed to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Brian Ronk, Program Manager,
FMCSA, Office of Enforcement and Program Delivery, Outreach Division/
MC-ESO. Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; or email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Generic Clearance of Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-00XX.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Respondents: State and local agencies, general public and
stakeholders, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and suppliers to
the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry, fleets, owner-operators,
state CMV safety agencies, research organizations and contractors, news
organizations, safety advocacy groups, and other Federal agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,900.
    Estimated Time per Response: Range from 10--120 minutes per
response.
    Expiration Date: N/A. This is a new ICR.
    Frequency of Response: Generally, on an annual basis.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,274 hours.

Background

    Executive Order 12862 ``Setting Customer Service Standards,''
direct Federal agencies to provide service to the public that matches
or exceeds the best service available in the private sector (58 FR
48257, September 11, 1993). In order to work continuously to ensure
that our programs are effective and meet our customers' needs, FMCSA
seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect
qualitative feedback from our customers on our service delivery. The
surveys covered in this generic clearance will provide a means for
FMCSA to collect this data directly from our customers. By qualitative
feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on
perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder
perception, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of
issues with service, or focus attention on areas of communication,
training or changes in operations that might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program management.
    The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery.
Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency's services will be unavailable.
    The Agency will only submit a collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
     The collections are voluntary.
     The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents
and the Federal Government.
     The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise
issues of concern to other Federal agencies.
     Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions
from respondents who have experience with the program or may have
experience with the program in the near future.

     Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
only to the extent necessary and is not retained.
     Information gathered is intended to be used only
internally for general service improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release outside of the agency (if
released, the agency must indicate the qualitative nature of the
information).
     Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
     Information gathered will yield qualitative information;
the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalized to the
population of study.
    Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but does not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such
data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target
population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame,
the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the
precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing
potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding
the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for
other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative
results. As a general matter, information collections will not result
in any new system of records containing privacy information and will
not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and
attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the FMCSA to perform its functions; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.

Associate Administrator, Office of Research and Information Technology,
and Chief Information Officer.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64485; File No. SR-CBOE-2011-046]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change Relating to Orders Qualifying for Certain Quantity-Based
Fee Waivers

May 13, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1), notice is hereby given that on April 29,
2011, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'' or
``Exchange'') 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 CBOE. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.

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

    Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'' or
``Exchange'') proposes to amend its Fees Schedule regarding the waiver
of customer transaction fees for orders of a certain size in options on
exchange-traded funds (``ETFs''), exchange-traded notes (``ETNs'') and
Holding Company Depositary Receipts (``HOLDRs'') and customer
transaction fees for orders of a certain size that are routed in whole
or in part, to one or more exchanges in connection with the Options
Order Protection and Locked/Crossed Market Plan referenced in Rule CBOE
6.80 (``Linkage Fees''). The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at
the Exchange's Office of the Secretary and at the Commission.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CBOE 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. CBOE 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, Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to institute the following fee changes
effective May 2, 2011:
    The Exchange currently waives transaction fees for customer orders
of 99 contracts or less in ETF, ETN and HOLDRs options.\1\ For the
purpose of determining which orders qualify for this quantity-based fee
waiver, the Exchange proposes to aggregate multiple orders from the
same executing firm for itself or for a CMTA or correspondent firm in
the same series on the same side of the market that are received by the
Exchange within 500 milliseconds. This change is intended to discourage
firms from dividing orders into multiple orders of less than 100
contracts for purposes of qualifying for the fee waiver and avoiding
transaction fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Footnote 9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, under Section 20 of the CBOE Fees Schedule, for each
customer order with an original size of 100 or more contracts that is
routed, in whole or in part, to one or more exchanges in connection
with the Options Order Protection and Locked/Crossed Market Plan
referenced in Rule 6.80, the Exchange passes through the actual
transaction fee assessed by the exchange(s) to which the order was
routed, minus $0.05 per contract. For the same reason stated above, the
Exchange proposes to aggregate multiple orders from the same executing
firm for itself or for a CMTA or correspondent firm in the same series
on the same side of the market that are received by the Exchange within
500 milliseconds for the purpose of determining the order quantity.
    The proposed aggregation of orders is similar to a provision in the
Exchange's Order Handling System (``OHS'') Order Cancellation Fee that
enables the Exchange to aggregate certain orders and count them as one
executed order for purposes of the Cancellation Fee.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Section 14 and Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 59690 (April 2, 2009), 74 FR 16243 (April 9, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''), \3\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \4\ of the Act
in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among CBOE
Trading Permit Holders and other persons using its facilities. In
particular, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is equitable
and reasonable in that it is designed to discourage firms from dividing
orders into multiple smaller size orders for purposes of qualifying for
quantity-based fee waivers and avoiding fees. In addition, the proposed
aggregation of orders is similar to a provision in the Exchange's OHS
Order Cancellation Fee that enables the Exchange to aggregate certain
orders and count them as one executed order for purposes of the
Cancellation Fee.

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

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \6\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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.
