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

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 relating to its
membership application fees. The text of the proposed rule change is
available at the CBOE, on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.cboe.org/legal
, and in the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the CBOE Fees
Schedule relating to its membership application fees to add a trading
firm renewal fee (``Trading Firm Renewal Fee''). Membership application
fees are set forth in section 11 of the CBOE Fees Schedule as well as
in a regulatory circular (``Membership Fee Circular'').
    The proposed Trading Firm Renewal Fee will apply to a former CBOE
trading firm member that reapplies for CBOE membership within 9 months
of its membership termination date and becomes an effective CBOE member
within 1 year of its membership termination date. The Trading Firm
Renewal Fee will encompass the trading firm application, and related
documentation, and one nominee \3\ who is either (i) an existing
individual CBOE member desiring to change membership status or (ii) a
former individual CBOE member who reapplies for membership within 9
months of their membership termination date and becomes an effective
member within 1 year of their membership termination date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A nominee is an individual who is authorized by a trading
firm member, in accordance with CBOE Rule 3.8, to represent such
trading firm member in all matters relating to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Trading Firm Renewal Fee will be $2,000.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b) of the
Act,\4\ in general, and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4) \5\
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 members and other persons using its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 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

    Because the foregoing rule change establishes or changes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange, it has become effective
pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and subparagraph (f)(2)
of Rule 19b-4 \7\ thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such
rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever ``we,''

I. Background

    Sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA require states to submit plans
to control certain pollutants (designated pollutants) at existing solid
waste combustor facilities (designated facilities) whenever standards
of performance have been established under CAA section 111(b) for new
sources of the same type, and the EPA has established emission
guidelines for such existing sources. CAA section 129 directs the EPA
to establish standards of performance for new sources (NSPS) and
emissions guidelines (EG) for existing sources for each category of
solid waste incinerator specified in CAA section 129. Under CAA section
129, NSPS and EG must contain numerical emissions limitations for
particulate matter, opacity (as appropriate), sulfur dioxide, hydrogen
chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury,
and dioxins and dibenzofurans. While NSPS are directly applicable to
new sources (affected facilities), EG for existing sources (designated
facilities) are intended for states to use to develop a state plan to
submit to the EPA. Once approved by the EPA, the state plan becomes
federally enforceable. If a state does not submit an approvable state
plan to the EPA, the EPA is responsible for developing, implementing,
and enforcing a federal plan.
    The regulations at 40 CFR part 60, subpart B, contain general
provisions applicable to the adoption and submittal of state plans for
controlling designated pollutants from designated facilities.
Additionally, 40 CFR part 62, subpart A, provides the procedural
framework by which the EPA will approve or disapprove such plans
submitted by a state. When designated facilities are located in a
state, the state must then develop and submit a plan for the control of
the designated pollutant(s).
    EPA promulgated the OSWI NSPS and EG on December 16, 2005, codified
at 40 CFR part 60, subparts EEEE and FFFF, respectively (70 FR 74870,
as amended at 71 FR 67806, November 24, 2006). Thus, states were
required to submit plans for incinerators subject to the OSWI EG
pursuant to sections 111(d) and 129 of the Act and 40 CFR part 60,
subpart B. OSWI means very small municipal waste combustion unit or an
institutional waste incineration unit (IWI) as defined under 40 CFR
60.3078. The designated facilities to which the current OSWI EG apply
are OSWI and certain air curtain incinerators (ACI) \1\ that commenced
construction on or before December 9, 2004, and were not modified or
reconstructed on or after June 16, 2006, as specified in 40 CFR 60.2991
and 60.2992, with limited exceptions as provided under 40 CFR 60.2993.
The EPA proposed revisions to the OSWI EG and NSPS on August 31, 2020
(85 FR 54178). When the EPA finalizes the revisions to the OSWI EG,\2\
each state (and air quality control jurisdiction) will need to submit a
negative declaration or plan, as applicable, for those sources subject
to the requirements of the final revised OSWI EG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These ACI subject to the OSWI EG at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
FFFF are those ACI that do not fit the definition of an ``OSWI'' as
they burn certain types of wastes. See 40 CFR 60.2994(b) and 40 CFR
60.3078.
    \2\ The court ordered deadline to promulgate the final OSWI
review is May 31, 2021. Sierra Club v. Wheeler, 330 F. Supp. 3d 407.
(D.D.C. 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to fulfill obligations under CAA sections 111(d) and 129,
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) submitted a state
plan for the control of emissions from sources subject to the OSWI EG
for the State of Texas on May 18, 2009.\3\ The Texas OSWI plan
implements and enforces the applicable provisions under the OSWI EG at
40 CFR part 60, subpart FFFF, and additionally meets the relevant
requirements of the CAA section 111(d)

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. It was
subsequently discovered that 30 TAC Sec.  113.2313(3)(B) is
inconsistent with the delegation of authority provisions of Title 40
CFR 60.2990(6) and 60.3020(c)(2). As discussed in more detail in the
next section, on June 11, 2021, TCEQ submitted a commitment letter to
the EPA to address a discrepancy in the Texas OSWI plan. A copy of the
Texas submittal and the commitment letter is included in the docket for
this rulemaking (Docket No. EPA-R06-OAR-2021-0517).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Texas OSWI plan submitted by TCEQ does not cover sources
located in Indian country.
    \4\ The May 18, 2009, Texas submittal also includes the CAA
section 111(d)/129 plans addressing requirements for incinerators
subject to the Small Municipal Waste Combustion units (SMWC)
Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart BBBB, and the
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration units (CISWI)
Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. We are only
addressing the Texas OSWI plan portion in this rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Evaluation

    The EPA has evaluated the Texas OSWI plan to determine whether the
plan meets applicable requirements from the OSWI EG at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart FFFF, and the CAA section 111(d) implementing regulations at 40
CFR part 60, subpart B. The EPA's detailed rationale and discussion on
the Texas OSWI plan can be found in the Technical Support Document
(TSD), located in the docket for this rulemaking.
    Section 60.2983 of the OSWI EG addresses what must be included in
state plan submittals. These requirements include:
    (1) Inventory of affected incineration units, including those that
have ceased operation but have not been dismantled.
    (2) Inventory of emissions from affected incineration units in the
State.
    (3) Compliance schedules for each affected incineration unit.
    (4) For each affected incineration unit, emission limitations,
operator training and qualification requirements, a waste management
plan, and operating parameter requirements that are at least as
protective as the emission guidelines contained in this subpart.
    (5) Stack testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
    (6) Transcript of the public hearing on the State plan.
    (7) Provision for State progress reports to EPA.
    (8) Identification of enforceable State mechanisms that the State
selected for implementing the emission guidelines of this subpart.
    (9) Demonstration of the state's legal authority to carry out the
sections 111(d) and 129 in the state plan.
    Section 60.2983 of the OSWI EG also requires the state plan to
demonstrate that it is at least as protective as the OSWI EG if it
deviates from the format and content of the EG in 40 CFR part 60,
subpart FFFF. The state plan must also follow the requirements of 40
CFR part 60, subpart B. The TSD goes into detail as to how the Texas
OSWI plan meets these requirements. In evaluating the state's OSWI
plan, the EPA considered the commitment letter submitted by the State.
The letter addressed the component of the state plan that is
inconsistent with the withheld authority provisions of the OSWI EG,
specifically, the review of qualified operator accessibility status
reports under 30 TAC Sec.  113.2313(3)(B), which corresponds to 40 CFR
60.3020(c)(2). In order to address the discrepancy, the TCEQ committed
to forward any notification, report, or request it receives pursuant to
30 TAC Sec.  113.2313(3) to the EPA without taking any other action,
including approving or disapproving any request.

III. Proposed Action

    The EPA is proposing to partially approve the Texas OSWI plan
submitted by TCEQ and amend 40 CFR part 62 in accordance with the
requirements under sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA. The EPA is
proposing to find that the Texas OSWI plan, with the exception of 30
TAC Sec.  113.2313(3), is at least as protective as the Federal
requirements provided under the OSWI EG, codified at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart FFFF. Once approved by the EPA, the Texas OSWI plan will become
federally enforceable.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a CAA
section 111(d)/129 submission that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7411(d); 42 U.S.C.
7429; 40 CFR part 60, subparts B and FFFF; and 40 CFR part 62, subpart
A. Thus, in reviewing CAA section 111(d)/129 state plan submissions,
EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the
criteria of the Act and implementing regulations. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    This rule also does not have Tribal implications because it will
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, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E airspace at
Lancaster, NH to provide controlled airspace required to support the
special SIAPs for Weeks Medical Center. The existing Class E airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface would be modified
for the safety and management of IFR operations by lowering the base of
controlled airspace to 700 feet above the surface.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15,
2009, 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.
    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 proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would establish Class E airspace at Weeks
Medical Center, Lancaster, NH.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:

PART 71--DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE
AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

    1. The authority citation for Part 71 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g); 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24
FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 389.

Sec.  71.1  [Amended]

    2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of Federal
Aviation Administration Order 7400.9T, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, signed August 27, 2009, effective September 15, 2009,
is amended as follows:
