Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP13-476-000]

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization

    Take notice that on May 10, 2013, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of
America LLC (Natural), pursuant to the blanket certificate
authorization granted in Docket No. CP82-402-000,\1\ filed an
application in accordance to sections 157.205, 157.208, and 157(213) of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as
amended, requesting authority to convert one (1.0) Bcf of cushion gas
to working gas at its Herscher Mount Simon Reservoir located in
Kankakee County, Illinois. The proposed project will provide greater
operational flexibility with the ability to withdraw additional working
gas from the Mount Simon Reservoir instead of the Galesville Reservoir,
which could be used to partially recharge or refill the Galesville
Reservoir during low demand period, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 20 FERC ] 62,415 (1982).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed conversion will result in an increase in working gas
inventory from 12.6 Bcf to 13.6 Bcf and a decrease in the cushion gas
inventory from 54.4 Bcf to 53.4 Bcf. Natural states that the conversion
will not change the total volume of 67 Bcf stored at the Mount Simon
Reservoir. The conversion of one (1.0) Bcf of cushion gas to working
gas will be achieved by stimulation of existing I/W wells to improve
their withdrawal capacity. The stimulation will be conducted during
daytime hours using truck mounted equipment. The trucks will use
existing roads to access the well sites. No new ground disturbance is
required to complete the proposed well stimulation activities.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Bruce
H. Newsome, Vice President, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America
LLC, 3250 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, (630)
725-3070, or email at bruce<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This filing is
available for review at the Commission or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov, using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number filed to access the document. For assistance, please
contact FERC Online Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-

in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. The
Commission strongly encourages intervenors to file electronically.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.

Subject: Re: FW: Emission Factors and Percent Reduction by Catalysts

Kevin,
Where are you seeing that the CO % reduction for 4SLB should be 71%?  If you look at the
table for 4SLB which is Table 2, see the far right column, the % reductions for CO are all
greater than 90%.  The % reductions for formaldehyde, which is what we use for HAP and
VOC, is provided in each table (see CH2O).  Table 4 for 4SRB engines does show the NOx %
reductions, see the far right column.  None of the other subcategories has NOx reductions.

The emission factors come from our Emissions Database that was put together several years
ago, plus we supplemented that information with new data where we could.  We're working
on a memo that documents the information.

FW: Emission Factors and Percent Reduction by Catalysts

Hi   – Melanie   – I’m forwarding this because I think Cortney is jammed.  Not sure if we will
get to this tomorrow in preamble questions, because it’s really about the RIA.  But these are
pretty basic, and your contractor could probably readily answer these.

Subject:  Emission Factors and Percent Reduction by Catalysts
<<EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0059-0665[1].pdf>>
Cortney, Christine – I think we should forward this to EPA this AM.  See below:
This document is cited on page 2 of in the July 26 Cost/Ton memo, as the source of the control
efficiencies represented in Table 2.  The July 26 memo reports CO emission reductions of 94%
and 49% for  4 SLB and 4 SRB respectively,  and the figures in this document appear to indicate
71% and 49%  respectively by my inspection.  Although, EPA has properly identified the 49%
reduction, it appears that the 4SLB figure used by EPA is incorrect: it should be 71% instead of
94% reduction.
More importantly, this document does not provide the percent emission reductions for HAPs,
VOCs, or NOx – where is this document?  Perhaps, EPA meant to cite a different document in
footnote 3 of the July 27 th  document?
Most importantly, the July 26 memo does not identify the source of the original emission
factors of uncontrolled emissions listed in Table 2, before adoption of the percent reductions.
What is the source of the original emission factors?
Without this information, I can’t verify EPA’s emission reductions in two ways – can’t verify the
control efficiencies or the original emission factors – which can very much modify the cost
reasonableness of the GACT analyses.
I thought I should send this in advance of tomorrow’s questions to give you a heads-up.  If you
could answer today, that would be even better.
Thanks
Kevin

                     Latest Use of Decabromodiphenyl Ether
Domestic Manufacturing Estimates
Based on available information, domestic manufacturing of deca has dropped significantly over the last several years, from approximately 51,000,000 lbs in 2010 to less than 25,000 lbs in 2015.  Imports of deca has increased since the domestic phase out, and ranges from 1,000,000 lbs to several million pounds.
Import Estimates
With weaknesses in the CDR reporting, the only other source of data is from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.  These data are not reliable. For example, the database lists the St. Louis Group LLC of importing 4,300,000 lbs, and they have not imported deca since 2013.  The database lists Rockland Industries Inc of importing 3,900,000 lbs, but only used around 500,000 lbs in 2016.   It appears the Customs data base is not accurate on amounts of deca imported, and in some situations, by a million pounds.
ECB is in the process of contacting all the companies in the database to obtain more accurate estimates.
Traditional Uses
Deca has been used in textiles, flexible polyurethane foams used in upholstery stuffing for furniture and car seats, electronic components, electrical components, and plastics used in the casings of televisions, personal computers, and other electronic equipment.
Findings of Outreach to Date:
Auto Alliance
Currently working to phase out deca in production of new cars, and working to determine when and when new production can be phased.  Replacement parts could be a challenge since deca not restricted in Asia.  The Auto Alliance is currently surveying members to better define and understand uses in supply chain.  Might want exemptions for articles for aftermarket parts where alternatives aren't developed.
Intelligent Global Pooling Systems Company via Larry Culleen
This company manufactures and recycles plastic pallets where the plastic they use contain deca.  They do not use any new deca.  Want to be exempted from any action to regulate use of deca.  Currently separate deca containing plastics from virgin plastic pallets.
LifePort, Inc, Subsidary of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.
Currently use hundreds of pounds annually in the manufacture of skins for military, law enforcement and medical evacuation helicopters.  Claim there is no alternative.

ACC
Do not have any members or user coalitions that rely on deca.
Aerospace Industries Association
Industry is working to phase out all uses of deca.  Currently examining supply chain to target any remaining uses.  Expects to have information in December on existing uses.
Boeing
Not using any deca in production of new planes, either passenger or military applications.  They have some existing parts with deca, and will use those as exhausted.   On track to phase out deca in all manufacturing by 2018, including replacement parts.
Albemarle
Albemarle described their alternative product, Saytex 8010, which is a non-diphenyl oxide flame retardant. The alternative product has completely substituted for deca in all their markets and applications.  The company was not aware of any critical uses for deca. Albemarle does track the imports of deca, which are arriving from China, and believe that as much as 530 tons were imported in 2016.
Lanxess
Lanxess phased out all domestic manufacturing in 2013.  Would have preferred EPA finalized the SNUR.  Not tracking import or uses.  Feels there are adequate substitutes for their customers.
DoD
DoD has a few critical uses, totaling less than 100 lbs a year.
St Louis Group, LLC
Listed in Customs database as importing over 4,300,000 from 2012-2015.   They have not imported any deca since 2013.
Rockland Industries
Apexical also associated with Rockland
Uses around 650,000 lbs annually for backspraying of black out draperies used in hospitality industry.
Apexical
Called and left message.
3N International Inc
Customs database claims 2,100,000 lbs imported from 2012 to 2015.   No recent requests for chemical, and no existing stock.
RADCO Industries
Emailed Brian.   No response.
Alexander Morgan, U of Dayton
Explained past and current uses of deca.   Very knowledgeable and great source of use and chemical properties information.
Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers
Talked on 11/1.   They will check to see if deca is still used and report back by close of comment period.
National Electric Manufacturers Association
Reached out on Oct 26, emailed on Nov 1.
Veliscol Chemical and Resnovae Industries
Left message on Oct 24 and Nov 1.
3N International
Listed in Customs database as importing 2,100,000 lbs.  Owner stated they don't stock deca, and only obtain for special orders for small use in aerospace.  See email response from Sean Guo dated October 23, 2017.

Next Steps to Inform SNUR Options
 Continue outreach to better understand uses and sectors that:
 No longer use deca.
 Users that are actively phasing it out within the next year, determine dates for last use.
 Ongoing use with likely substitutes.
 Critical uses.
Possible Regulatory Options (Examples for discussion purposes only)
Sector and Use
Possible Approach
Plastic Pallets
SNUR any new use; do not SNUR continued use of recycled plastics that contain trace amounts of deca.
Electronics
SNUR all uses, except trace amounts in HIPS recycled.
Fabrics
SNUR all uses except black out curtains for hotels
DoD
Identify critical uses, SNUR all others.
Flexible or rigid polyurethane foam, all industries.
SNUR all PUF products.  Not intentionally added since 2005, but sometimes can be found in reused or recycled polyurethane foam from association with fabrics or coatings of materials that come in contact with foam.  Include use in SNUR, but exempt trace levels and impurities in recycled or scrap polyurethane foam.

Furniture
SNUR all uses in foam or padding.
Plastics
SNUR all uses, except those critical in transportation sector.  Include all plastics, such as polystyrene, polyolefin, polyurethane, etc.  Provide exemption for recycled plastics that contain trace amounts of deca from previous uses.
All apparel and textiles, including fire protective apparel
SNUR all uses
Sleep products for children, including pajamas, mattress pads, bedding, etc
SNUR all uses
Paints and coatings
SNUR all uses
Adhesives, sealants and tapes
SNUR all uses
Wire and cable
SNUR all uses, except those identified as on-going by transportation sector.

Key Challenges:
 Large industry sectors have mostly phased out deca.  Challenge will be to identify remaining uses in niche industries, and develop phase-out timeline.
 Niche uses, within small industries, are likely the vast majority or use.  Niche uses are difficult to discover due to complexity of supply chain, lack of trade association representation, and lack of knowledge regarding Section 6(h).
 Very difficult to impossible to identify deca use in imported articles.
 Very difficult to understand exposure scenarios for niche uses.  Data likely does not exist.  Difficult to use 6(h) if nothing known about exposures.
 Some existing uses are from recycling, e.g. pallets, plastics in electronics.   Agency needs to develop policy to exempt trace levels produced through recycling, or scrap processes.
 State laws have also impacted PBDEs, with 12 states passing laws to ban penta and octa, with four states banned deca.  Legislation has been introduced in other states to ban PBDEs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-year period
if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the Agency to renew
exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The 46 individuals listed
in this notice have recently requested such an exemption from the
diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b) (3), which applies to drivers
of CMVs in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate
the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether granting the
exemption will achieve the required level of safety mandated by
statute.

III. Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on the exemption petitions
described in this notice. We will consider all comments received before
the close of business on the closing date indicated in the date section
of the notice.
    FMCSA notes that section 4129 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible
and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users requires
the Secretary to revise its diabetes exemption program established on
September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).\1\ The revision must provide for
individual assessment of drivers with diabetes mellitus, and be
consistent with the criteria described in section 4018 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 notice as a ``final
rule.'' However, the 2003 notice did not issue a ``final rule'' but
did establish the procedures and standards for issuing exemptions
for drivers with ITDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination of the requirement for 3
years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with insulin;
and (2) establishment of a specified minimum period of insulin use to
demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being allowed to operate
a CMV.
    In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year driving experience and fulfilled
the requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure that
operation of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite level
of safety required of all exemptions granted under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e).
    Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of CMVs
with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers, with
the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical requirements
that are deemed medically necessary.
    The FMCSA concluded that all of the operating, monitoring and
medical requirements set out in the September 3, 2003 notice, except as
modified, were in compliance with section 4129(d). Therefore, all of
the requirements set out in the September 3, 2003 notice, except as
modified by the notice in the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70
FR 67777), remain in effect.

[Docket Number USCG-2015-1088]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Pleasure Beach Bridge, Bridgeport, CT.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

mooring or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless
authorized by COTP Sector LIS.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from 12:01 a.m. on
December 22, 2015 until 12 a.m. on January 01, 2016. For the purposes
of enforcement, actual notice will be used from the date the rule was
signed, December 10, 2015, until December 22, 2015.

COTP Captain of the Port
DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
NAD 83 North American Datum 1983

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    This rulemaking establishes a safety zone for the waters around
Pleasure Beach Bridge, Bridgeport, CT. Corresponding regulatory history
is discussed below.
    The Coast Guard was made aware of damage sustained to Pleasure
Beach Bridge, the result of which created a hazard to navigation.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM with respect to this rule
because doing so would be impracticable and contrary to the public
interest. There is insufficient time to publish an NPRM and solicit
comments from the public before establishing a safety zone to address
an existing hazard to navigation. The nature of the navigational hazard
requires the immediate establishment of a safety zone. Publishing an
NPRM and delaying the effective date of this rule to await public
comment inhibits the Coast Guard's ability to fulfill its statutory
mission to protect ports, waterways and the maritime public.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the same reasons stated in the
preceding paragraph, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50
U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5 and Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1 which collectively authorize
the Coast Guard to define regulatory safety zones.
    On December 09, 2015, the Coast Guard was made aware of damage
sustained to Pleasure Beach Bridge, Bridgeport, CT that has created a
hazard to navigation. The COTP Sector LIS has determined that the
safety zone established by this temporary final rule is necessary to
provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    The safety zone established by this rule will cover all navigable
waters of the entrance channel to Johnsons Creek in the vicinity of
Pleasure Beach Bridge, Bridgeport, CT. This safety zone will be bound
inside an area that starts at a point on land at position 41-10.2N,
073-10.7W and then east along the shoreline to a point on land at
position 41-9.57N, 073-9.54W and then south across the channel to a
point on land at position 41-9.52N, 073-9.58W and then west along the
shoreline to a point on land at position 41-9.52N, 073-10.5W and then
north across the channel back to the point of origin.
    This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring, or
anchoring within the area specifically designated as a safety zone
during the period of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP or
designated representative.
    The Coast Guard will notify the public and local mariners of this
safety zone through appropriate means, which may include, but are not
limited to, publication in the Federal Register, the Local Notice to
Mariners, and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
E.O.s related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on
these statutes and E.O.s and we discuss First Amendment rights of
protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly, it has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. The Coast Guard
determined that this rulemaking is not a significant regulatory action
for the following reasons: (1) The enforcement of this safety zone will
be relatively short in duration; (2) persons or vessels desiring to
enter the safety zone may do so with permission from the COTP Sector
LIS or a designated representative; (3) this safety zone is designed in
a way to limit impacts on vessel traffic, permitting vessels to
navigate in other portions of the waterway not designated as a safety
zone; and (4) the Coast Guard will notify the public of the enforcement
of this rule via appropriate means, such as via Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners to increase public awareness
of this safety zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This temporary final rule will affect the following entities, some
of which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to enter, transit, anchor, or moor within a safety zone
during the period of enforcement, from December 10, 2015 to January 1,
2016. However, this temporary final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the same
reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and Review section.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in

understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under E.O. 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132. Also,
this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because
it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If you believe this rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
temporary rule involves the establishment of a safety zone. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination, and EA Checklist, WILL BE in the docket for review. We
seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

    (4) Any vessel given permission to enter or operate in the safety
zone must comply with all directions given to them by the COTP Sector
Long Island Sound, or the designated on-scene representative.

    The Commission also seeks additional comment to help further inform
its analysis of the Proposed Rule Change. Specifically, the Commission
invites interested persons to provide views, data, and arguments
concerning the Proposed Rule Change, including whether the Proposed
Rule Change is consistent with the Act and the applicable rules or
regulations thereunder. Please note that comments previously received
on the substance of the Proposed Rule Change will be considered
together with comments submitted in response to this notice. Therefore,
while commenters are free to

submit additional comments at this time, they need not re-submit
earlier comments. In addition, the Commission seeks comment on the
following:
    1. The Proposed Rule Change would require each Netting Member to
attest that its Individual Total Amount has been incorporated into its
liquidity plans (``Attestation Requirement'').\11\ The Commission
requests comment on the means by which the various types of Netting
Members anticipate complying with the Proposed Rule Change, including
the Attestation Requirement, and the expected cost (monetary or
otherwise) of such compliance. To the extent possible, please provide
specific data, analyses, or studies for support.

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

    2. The Proposed Rule Change would require FICC to provide each
Netting Member with a daily ``liquidity funding report'' to help the
Netting Member monitor and manage the liquidity risk it presents to
FICC. The Commission requests comment on the value of such daily
reporting to Netting Members and the extent to which and, if so, how
Netting Members anticipate adjusting their trading behavior or
otherwise managing the liquidity risk they present to FICC, whether in
reliance on the daily liquidity funding report or otherwise. Please
explain and, to the extent possible, provide specific data, analyses,
or studies on potential changes to trading behavior or other
adjustments to manage liquidity obligations to FICC for support.

participation, participation in certain market segments, or the
quantity or price of services offered to clients, please provide
information of such changes, in addition to any supporting data,
analyses, or studies.
    b. If such adjustments would include deciding to clear repo
transactions bilaterally, instead of centrally through FICC, please
provide the rationale and factors considered in making that decision,
in addition to any supporting data, analyses, or studies.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0240; Airspace Docket No. 12-ASO-15]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Tallahassee, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E Airspace in the Tallahassee, FL
area. Tallahassee Commercial Airport has been abandoned and controlled
airspace is no longer needed. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary for
the continued safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations within the Tallahassee, FL airspace area.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 26, 2012. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 10, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace in the
Tallahassee, FL area (77 FR 21508). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated
August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface in the Tallahassee, FL area. Tallahassee Commercial Airport
has been abandoned and controlled airspace serving the airport removed.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary for the continued safety and
management of IFR operations within the Tallahassee, FL, airspace area.
    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 amends controlled airspace in the Tallahassee, FL area.
