[Docket No. NHTSA-2016-0089]

Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria

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

ACTION: Notice and request for comments .

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

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in
coordination with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA), is in the process of reviewing the
Guidelines for the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) Fourth
Edition, December 2012, and requests comments to determine appropriate
improvements to address stakeholder concerns. The MMUCC provides States
with a dataset for describing crashes of motor vehicles in transport
that generates the information necessary to improve highway safety
within each State and nationally. NHTSA and GHSA established an expert
panel to review the proposed changes and comments received from Federal
Register Notice FR Doc. 2016-09231. On July 27-28, 2016, the MMUCC
expert panel met and decided on initial changes to MMUCC based on input
from the subject matter experts in attendance and written comments
submitted in response to a April 21, 2016 request for comments. The
MMUCC panel will meet again on October 27-28, 2016, to continue
deliberating changes to MMUCC and is seeking public input on additional
changes. Crash data users may comment on the utility of the current
MMUCC guidelines, the draft changes to MMUCC, and suggest additional
changes for the next update to MMUCC. Based on the input received in
response to this notice, NHTSA and GHSA anticipate issuing changes to
the Guidelines in 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
(MMUCC) provides data elements for describing crashes of motor vehicles
in transport that generates the information necessary to improve
highway safety within each State and nationally. Statewide motor
vehicle traffic crash data systems provide the basic information
necessary for effective highway and traffic safety efforts at any level
of government--local, State, or Federal. State crash data are used to
perform problem identification, establish goals and performance
measures, allocate resources, determine the progress of specific
programs, and support the development and evaluation of highway and
vehicle safety countermeasures. The use of State crash data can be
hindered by the lack of uniformity between and within States.
    MMUCC represents a voluntary and collaborative effort to generate
uniform crash data that are accurate, reliable, and credible for data-
driven highway safety decisions within a State, between States, and at
the national level. MMUCC was originally developed in response to
requests by States interested in improving and standardizing their
State crash data. Lack of uniform reporting made the sharing and
comparison of State crash data difficult. Different elements and
definitions resulted in incomplete data and misleading results. MMUCC
recommends voluntary implementation of a ``minimum set'' of
standardized data elements to promote comparability of data within the
highway safety community. It serves as a foundation for State crash
data systems. The next planned update of the MMUCC Guideline is
scheduled for 2017.
    Implementation of MMUCC is an ongoing and collaborative effort.
Changes to MMUCC approved during the first panel meeting on July 27-28,
2016, included creating new subsections for crashes involving (a)
fatalities, (b) large vehicles/hazardous materials, and (c) non
motorists; and modifications to existing crash, vehicle and person data
elements. This second request for information will provide additional
input to the MMUCC expert panel on a number of stakeholders' proposals
including the addition of a new data element for ``Motor Vehicle
Automation Equipped and Use.'' These topics will be discussed during
the second meeting on October 27-28, 2016, after which, NHTSA, in
collaboration with GHSA, FHWA, and FMCSA, will review and finalize the
MMUCC 5th edition for publication in 2017. Additional information about
the MMUCC update can be found on the Governor's Highway Safety
Association Web site www.ghsa.org. Full text of the draft revised
version of MMUCC can be viewed in the docket. The MMUCC 4th edition can
be viewed on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Web
site at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811631.pdf.

ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for Modeling
U.S. Housing Density Growth

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing
the availability of a final Geographic Information System (GIS) tool
and final user's guide titled, ``ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools
and Datasets for Modeling U.S. Housing Density Growth'' (EPA/600/R-09/
143F). The tool and its documentation were prepared by the National
Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within EPA's Office of
Research and Development. The GIS tool can be used to modify land use
scenarios for the conterminous United States. ICLUS stands for
Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios, a project which is described
in the 2009 EPA Report, ``Land-Use Scenarios: National-Scale Housing-
Density Scenarios Consistent with Climate Change Storylines.'' These
scenarios are broadly consistent with global-scale, peer-reviewed
storylines of population

growth and economic development, which are used by climate change
modelers to develop projections of future climate.

DATES: The GIS tool and documentation will be available on or about
September 8, 2010.

ADDRESSES: ``ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for
Modeling U.S. Housing Density Growth'' and the geoprocessing tools will
be available to download via an ftp site on the NCEA's home page under
the Recent Additions and Publications menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea.
A limited number of paper copies of the User's Manual are available
from the Information Management Team, NCEA; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you are requesting a paper copy, please
provide your name, your mailing address, and the final document title,
``ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual: ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for Modeling U.S.
Housing Density Growth'' (EPA/600/R-09/143F).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the GIS Tool and Document

    The GIS tool and its documentation, ``ICLUS v1.3 User's Manual:
ArcGIS Tools and Datasets for Modeling U.S. Housing Density Growth''
enables users to run a spatially explicit allocation model with the
population projections developed for the ICLUS project. Users can
modify the spatial allocation of housing density across the landscape
to customize scenarios of future development patterns. The data
provided consist of five population scenarios by county for the
conterminous U.S. and are available in 5-year increments from 2000 to
2100. The population projections for each U.S. county drive the
production of new housing units, which are allocated in response to the
spatial pattern of previous growth (e.g., 1990 to 2000), transportation
infrastructure, and other basic assumptions. The housing allocation
model recomputes housing density in 5-year time steps from the year
2000 to 2100.
    The GIS tool allows users to:
     Access the county-level ICLUS population projections;
     Customize housing density patterns by altering household
size and travel time assumptions;
     Classify housing density into generalized categories;
     Estimate future impervious surface based on a housing
density; and
     Summarize levels of imperviousness by housing density
classes.
    In December 2009, the draft GIS tools and user's guide were
released for independent external review and a Federal Register notice,
published December 8, 2009, announced the start of a public review and
comment period. These final GIS tools and user's guide address comments
received from both the external peer review and the public.

    Dated: September 1, 2010.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8 airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by reports of water leakage from the potable water system due
to improperly installed waterline couplings, and water leaking into the
electronics equipment (EE) bays from above the floor in the main cabin,
resulting in water on the equipment in the EE bays. This proposed AD
would require replacing the potable waterline couplings above the
forward and aft EE bays with new, improved couplings. This proposed AD
would also require sealing the main cabin floor areas above the aft EE
bay, installing drip shields and foam blocks, and rerouting the wire
bundles near the drip shields above the equipment in the aft EE bay. We
are proposing this AD to prevent a water leak from an improperly
installed potable water system coupling, or main cabin water source,
which could cause the equipment in the EE bays to become wet, resulting
in an electrical short and potential loss of system functions essential
for safe flight.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 4, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-5808;
Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-111-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we

Discussion

    We received reports of water leakage from the potable water system
due to improperly installed waterline couplings, and water leaking into
the EE bays from above the floor in the main cabin, resulting in water
on the equipment in the EE bays. Such leakage could result in an
electrical short and potential loss of system functions essential for
safe flight.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information:
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB380009-00,
Issue 001, dated March 26, 2015.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB530029-00,
Issue 001, dated March 26, 2015.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB530031-00,
Issue 001, dated March 26, 2015.
    This service information describes procedures for replacing the
potable waterline couplings above the forward and aft EE bays with new,
improved couplings; sealing the floors, seat tracks, and lavatories
above the aft EE bay; installing drip shields and foam blocks; and
rerouting the wire bundles adjacent to the drip shields above the aft
EE bay.

This service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Difference Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.'' Refer to this service information for details on the
procedures and compliance times.

Difference Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787-81205-SB530029-00,
Issue 001, dated March 26, 2015; and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
B787-81205-SB530031-00, Issue 001, dated March 26, 2015, recommend
accomplishing the sealing of the floors and seat tracks, installing
drip shields, and rerouting adjacent wiring within 24 months; this
proposed AD would require accomplishing those actions within 60 months.
We have determined that a 60-month compliance time for accomplishing
these actions would address the unsafe condition in a timely manner.
    This compliance time has been coordinated with Boeing.

Explanation of ``RC'' Steps in Service Information

    The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(ARC), to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a new process for
annotating which steps in the service information are required for
compliance with an AD. Differentiating these steps from other tasks in
the service information is expected to improve an owner's/operator's
understanding of crucial AD requirements and help provide consistent
judgment in AD compliance. The steps identified as RC (required for
compliance) in any service information identified previously have a
direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving, or eliminating an
identified unsafe condition.
    For service information that contains steps that are labeled as
Required for Compliance (RC), the following provisions apply: (1) The
steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step and any
figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply with the AD,
and an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) is required for any
deviations to RC steps, including substeps and identified figures; and
(2) steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted methods
in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection program
without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC steps, including
substeps and identified figures, can still be done as specified, and
the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 17 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57241; File No. SR-Amex-2007-138]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change to Establish a New Class of Off-Floor
Market Makers in ETFs Called Designated Amex Remote Traders

January 31, 2008.

I. Introduction

    On December 19, 2007, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposal to create a new class of off-floor market makers, called
``Designated Amex Remote Traders'' or ``DARTs,'' in ETF securities. The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on December 31, 2007.\3\ The Commission received no comments regarding
the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57022 (December 20,
2007), 72 FR 74375.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    The Exchange proposes to create a new class of off-floor market
makers in ETF securities and to make related changes to the Exchange's
AEMI trading platform.\4\ These market makers, to be called
``Designated Amex Remote Traders'' or ``DARTs,'' will electronically
enter competitive quotations on a regular basis to satisfy market maker
regulatory requirements. DARTs will also have to meet certain business
requirements, which will include minimum performance standards as
discussed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56446 (September 17,
2007), 72 FR 54303 (September 24, 2007) (approving File No. SR-Amex-
2007-085) (establishing DART program in ETFs and common stocks);
letter dated September 5, 2007 to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary,
Commission, from Brendan E. Cryan, Managing Member, Brendan E. Cryan
& Company, LLC; Jonathan Q. Frey, Managing Partner, J. Streicher &
Co.; Michael Marchisi, Managing Partner, AIM Securities Co.; and
Robert B. Nunn, Chief Operating Officer, Cohen Specialist, LLC
(``Comment Letter'') (commenting on SR-Amex-2007-085); Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 56764 (November 7, 2007), 72 FR 64095
(November 14, 2007) (immediate effectiveness of File No. SR-Amex-
2007-113) (eliminating DART rules).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A DART will be a member or member organization physically located
off-floor that will electronically enter competitive quotations into
AEMI on a regular basis in all ETF securities to which it is assigned
in the DARTs program. A DART may be either a regular or associate
member of the Exchange that meets the requirements for electronic
access to the Exchange's automated systems. The proposed DARTs program
is similar to the Supplemental Registered Options Traders (``SROT'')
program implemented by the Amex for options,\5\ with certain unique
features. Under the DARTs proposal, an Amex specialist firm may also be
a DART, although it may not be registered as a DART in securities in
which it is also the specialist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Amex Rule 993-ANTE (Supplemental Registered Options
Traders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Amex's rules already provide for one type of competing market maker
in ETF securities--Registered Traders. A Registered Trader is a member
who is authorized to initiate trades in certain securities \6\ for his
or her account, while on the floor.\7\ Like Registered Traders, DARTs
will not be permitted to initiate transactions in equity securities.\8\
DARTs will have obligations similar to Registered Traders under
Exchange rules, such as those relating to a course of dealings that
contributes to the maintenance of a fair and orderly market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ These include in index warrants, currency warrants,
securities listed pursuant to Section 107 of the Amex Company Guide,
Trust Issued Receipts, and Partnership Units.
    \7\ See Amex Rule 1A(g)-AEMI. A DART would only be permitted to
submit quotations electronically from off the floor of the Exchange.
    \8\ See Amex Rule 110A(n)-AEMI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to their lack of a physical presence in the trading crowd,
which is a basic requirement of the auction market, DARTs will not
participate in any post-trade allocation in connection with an auction
trade. Instead, a DART's participation in an auction pair-off on the
Exchange will be limited to the marketable amount of its quotation on
the AEMI Book at the time of the pair-off. For purposes of the priority
and parity rules of Rule 126-AEMI, a DART's quotation would be treated
as another crowd order, similar to a Registered Trader.
    Amex will establish minimum requirements for a DART to remain in
the program, which may be modified by the Exchange from time to time.
First, a DART must provide competitive quotations on a regular basis to
satisfy market maker regulatory requirements.\9\ The Exchange from time
to time will determine minimum performance standards, including a
volume participation rate and trade participation rate. A DART that
fails to comply with one or more of these standards may be subject to
loss of all or a portion of any benefits to which it would otherwise be
entitled under Amex rules by virtue of its status as a DART, including
possible suspension or termination of DART status. The number of ETF
securities in which a DART may be permitted to make markets will be
determined by the Exchange in accordance with Commentary .05 in
proposed Rule 110A-AEMI. While management anticipates starting the
program with a limited group of DARTs, no specific upper limit on the
number of DARTs is anticipated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See proposed Rule 110A-AEMI(b)(i), which requires a DART to
``provide continuous two-sided quotations in all assigned securities
* * *'' This basic market maker requirement mirrors the definition
of ``market maker'' set forth in Section 3(a)(38) of the Act, 15
U.S.C. 78c(3)(38), which requires a dealer in the security involved
to hold himself out ``as being willing to buy and sell such security
for his own account on a regular or continuous basis.'' The
following additional regulatory requirements will be imposed by
proposed Rule 110A-AEMI(b)(ii): ``With respect to each security to
which he/she is assigned by the Exchange, a DART's transactions must
constitute a course of dealings reasonably calculated to contribute
to the maintenance of a fair and orderly market. In connection with
this function, a DART is required to make competitive bids and
offers as reasonably necessary to contribute to the maintenance of a
fair and orderly market and shall engage, to a reasonable degree
under the existing circumstances, in dealings for his/her own
account when there exists a lack of price continuity, a temporary
disparity between the supply of and demand for the security(ies) in
which he/she is trading, or a temporary distortion of the price
relationships between the security(ies) in which he/she is trading
and the security(ies) underlying or otherwise related to such
security(ies).''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to the requirements described above, a DART will be
required to meet eligibility criteria similar to those specified in the
SROT program, which will include:
     Adequacy of resources including capital, technology, and
personnel;
     History of stability, superior electronic capacity, and
superior operational capacity;
     Level of market-making and/or specialist experience in a
broad array of securities;
     Ability to interact with order flow in all types of
markets;
     Existence of order flow commitments;
     Willingness and ability to make competitive markets on the
Exchange and otherwise promote the Exchange in a manner that is likely
to enhance the ability of the Exchange to compete successfully for
order flow in the ETF securities it trades;
     The number of member organizations requesting approval to
act as a DART; and

     Ability to transact in any ETF underlying markets.
    The regulatory requirements applicable to DARTs will be surveilled
for by the FINRA Amex Regulation Division (``FINRA Amex'') consistent
with current surveillance procedures for Registered Traders on the
Exchange. FINRA Amex staff will work with Amex technical staff on
planning the necessary changes to AEMI to capture required surveillance
data and surveilling the increased number of market makers that the
program is expected to attract. Adjustments to current technology and
surveillance procedures will likely also be necessitated by the fact
that DARTs will not be physically located on the floor of the Exchange.
    DARTs will interface with the Amex's Floor Officials in the case of
trade disputes substantially in accordance with existing procedures
used for SROTs. Each DART accordingly will be required to designate
persons on and/or off-floor to be in direct real-time contact with
Floor Officials on such matters. Regulation M will apply to DARTs in
the same way that it applies to other market participants, as will Amex
Rule 193 to the extent a DART is affiliated with a specialist member
organization. However, no expansion of the application of Amex Rule 193
beyond current practice is intended.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The language in Rule 110A-AEMI(c)(ii) cross-referencing
Amex Rule 193 is substantively identical to language also contained
in Amex Rules 993-ANTE(d)(iii) (Supplemental Registered Options
Traders) and 994-ANTE(d)(iii) (Remote Registered Options Traders),
neither of which have been interpreted to expand the applicability
of Amex Rule 193 beyond affiliates of specialists.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Comment Letter had observed that a provision proposed
in SR-Amex-2007-85 relating to minimum capital requirements for DARTs
is unnecessary due to its current inapplicability to DARTs (who will be
subject to the Commission's net capital rule).\11\ The Exchange has
eliminated that provision from the current proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Rule 15c3-1 under the Act, 17 CFR 240.15c3-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\12\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposal is
consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\13\ which requires, among
other things, that a national securities exchange's rules be designed
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and to perfect the mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposal, DARTs would be permitted to quote
electronically in ETFs from off the Exchange's physical trading floor.
Amex's rules already provide for one type of competing market maker in
ETF securities--Registered Traders. Like Registered Traders, DARTs will
not be permitted to enter quotations in equity securities. In addition,
similar rules would govern the allocations of DARTs and Registered
Traders, except DARTs will not be permitted to participate in a post-
trade allocation in connection with an auction trade. The Commission
believes it is reasonable and consistent with the Act for Amex to
establish DARTs as remote competitive market makers subject to the
allocation rules described in the proposal.
    The Commission notes that DARTs will be required to meet certain
eligibility requirements. The existence of order flow commitments
between a DART applicant and order flow providers is one such factor.
The Commission notes the Exchange's representation that a future change
to, or termination of, any such commitments would not be used by the
Exchange at any point in the future to terminate or take remedial
action against a DART, and that the Exchange would not take remedial
action solely because orders subject to any such commitments were not
subsequently routed to the Exchange. Similarly, the Exchange has
included the ``willingness to promote the Exchange'' as a factor that
the Committee may consider when making its application decisions. The
Commission notes the Exchange's representation that the Committee would
not apply this factor to in any way restrict, either directly or
indirectly, a DART's activities as a market maker or specialist on
other exchanges, or to restrict how a DART handles orders it holds in a
fiduciary capacity to which it owes a duty of best execution.
    The Commission also notes that, should the Committee decide not to
approve a DART applicant, or should a DART's appointment be suspended
or terminated in one or more classes, a DART applicant or DART,
respectively, would be entitled to a hearing under Article IV, section
1(g) of the Amex Constitution and Amex Rule 40.
    Proposed Amex Rule 110A(b)-AEMI sets forth the obligations that a
DART would be required to fulfill. Specifically, a DART would be
required to generate continuous, two-sided quotations in all assigned
ETF securities. A DART's affirmative market making obligations appear
to be sufficient to justify the benefits it would receive as a market
maker.
    The proposal also appears reasonably designed to prevent the misuse
of material, non-public information with any affiliates that may
conduct a brokerage business in securities assigned to a DART, or that
may act as a specialist or market maker in any security underlying a
derivative security assigned to a DART.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Amex-2007-138) is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\15\

Operations Specifications; OMB Approval of Information Collection

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; OMB approval of information collection.

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

SUMMARY: This document notifies the public of the Office of Management
and Budget's (OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement
contained in the FAA's final rule, ``Operations Specifications,'' which
was published on February 10, 2011.

DATES: The rule published on February 10, 2011, became effective on
April 11, 2011. However, because it contained new information
collection requirements, compliance with the information collection
provisions contained in Sec.  129.7 was not required until they were
approved. This document announces that OMB approval was received on
April 5. 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical questions contact Darcy

of the Chief Counsel, Regulations Division, AGC-200, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 10, 2011, the final rule,
``Operations Specifications'' was published in the Federal Register (76
FR 7482). In that rule, the FAA clarified and standardized the rules
for applications by foreign air carriers and foreign persons for part
129 operations specifications and established new standards for
amendment, suspension, and termination of those operations
specifications.
    In the DATES section of the final rule, the FAA noted that affected
parties were not required to comply with the new information collection
requirements in Sec.  129.7 until OMB approved the FAA's request to
collect the information. Section 129.7 includes new provisions
governing the application, issuance, and denial of operations
specifications. That information collection requirement had not been
approved by OMB at the time of publication.
    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a
copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its
review. OMB approved the collection on April 5, 2012, and assigned the
information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0749, which expires on
April 30, 2013.
    This document is being published to inform affected parties of the
approval, and to announce that as of April 5, 2012, affected parties
are required to comply with the new information collection requirements
in Sec.  129.7.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 2, 2012.

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2014-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8359]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained from
FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at http://www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
Part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54971; File No. SR-ISE-2006-65]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC ; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to Fee Changes

December 20, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on November 21, 2006, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``Exchange'' or ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change, as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which items have been prepared by the Exchange. The ISE has
designated this proposal as one establishing or changing a due, fee, or
other charge imposed by the CBOE under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the
Act,\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal
effective upon filing with the Commission. 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.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The ISE is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees to establish
fees for transactions in options on 3 Premium Products.\5\ The text of
the proposed rule change is available on the ISE's Web site (http://www.iseoptions.com
), at the principal office of the ISE, and at the

Commission's Public Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Premium Products is defined in the Schedule of Fees as the
products enumerated therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 ISE 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 ISE 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 Exchange is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees to
establish fees for transactions in options on the following 3 Premium
Products: streetTRACKS KBW Bank ETF (``KBE''), streetTRACKS KBW Capital
Markets ETF (``KCE''), and streetTRACKS KBW Insurance ETF (``KIE'').\6\
Specifically, the Exchange is proposing to adopt an execution fee and a
comparison fee for all transactions in options on KBE, KCE and KIE.\7\
The amount of the execution fee and comparison fee for products covered
by this filing would be $0.15 and $0.03 per contract, respectively, for
all Public Customer Orders \8\ and Firm Proprietary orders. The amount
of the execution fee and comparison fee for all ISE Market Maker
transactions would be equal to the execution fee and comparison fee
currently charged by the Exchange for ISE Market Maker transactions in
equity options.\9\ Finally, the amount of the execution fee and
comparison fee for all non-ISE Market Maker transactions would be $0.16
and $0.03 per contract, respectively. All of the applicable fees
covered by this filing are identical to fees charged by the Exchange
for all other Premium Products. The Exchange believes the proposed rule
change will further the Exchange's goal of introducing new products to
the marketplace that are competitively priced.

Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting

    On April 27, 2012, the Northern Wasco County People's Utility
District (Northern Wasco) filed an application for a preliminary
permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA),
proposing to study the feasibility of the Freedom Hydroelectric Project
(Freedom Project or project) to be located on the Columbia River, near
Dallesport, Klickitat County, Washington. The project would affect
lands administered by the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). The sole
purpose

of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any
land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would utilize the existing auxiliary water
supply system for the north fishway fish ladder on the Corps' The
Dalles Dam and would consist of the following: (1) A 150-foot-long and
25-foot-wide concrete intake channel structure; (2) two five-foot by
five-foot sluice gates connecting the new intake channel structure to
the existing intake channel structure; (3) a 20-foot-high, 120-foot-
long, \1/8\-inch bar by \1/8\-inch opening fish screen; (4) a
generation facility; (5) a new tailrace that would discharge to the
existing discharge pool; and (6) a 9,000-foot-long 12.5-kilovolt radial
transmission line. The estimated annual generation of the Freedom
Project would be 39,000 megawatthours.
    Applicant Contact: Dwight D. Langer, General Manager, Northern
Wasco County People's Utility District, 2345 River Road, The Dalles,
Oregon 97058; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
