SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    MC (also known as methylene dichloride or dichloromethane [DCM or
MC]) is a common industrial solvent used in a number of different
applications, including paint stripping, metal cleaning and the
manufacture of plastics and adhesives. Without proper ventilation or
respiratory protection, short-term exposure to large amounts of MC can
cause respiratory or central nervous system failure. In 1985, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that MC was a probable
human carcinogen and posed a long term danger to human health.\1\ EPA
promulgated rules governing the use of MC in several industries during
1994-1995. On January 10, 1997, OSHA published its final MC Standard to
protect workers from occupational exposure to MC.\2\ It reduced the
permissible exposure limit from an 8-hour-time-weighted-average (TWA)
of 500 parts per million (ppm) to 25 ppm.\3\

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

Regulatory Review

    The purpose of this lookback study was to review the current MC
Standard, in accordance with section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act and Section 5 of Executive Order 12866, to determine whether the
rule has functioned as intended, whether it could be simplified or
improved, or whether it is no longer needed and should be rescinded.
The purpose of a review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act is:

``to determine whether such rule should be continued without change,
or should be rescinded, or amended consistent with the stated
objectives of applicable statutes to minimize any significant impact
of the rules on a substantial number of small entities.''

    In conducting a section 610 review, the Agency must consider the
following factors:

    ``(1) The continued need for the rule;
    (2) The nature of complaints or comments received concerning the
rule from the public;
    (3) The complexity of the rule;
    (4) The extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates or
conflicts with other Federal rules, and, to the extent feasible,
with State and local governmental rules; and
    (5) The length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the
degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors
have changed in the area affected by the rule.''

    The review requirements of section 5 of EO 12866 require agencies:

    ``To reduce the regulatory burden on the American people, their
families, their communities, their State, local, and tribal
governments, and their industries; to determine whether regulations
promulgated by the [Agency] have become unjustified or unnecessary
as a result of changed circumstances; to confirm that regulations
are both compatible with each other and not duplicative or
inappropriately burdensome in the aggregate; to ensure that all
regulations are consistent with the President's priorities and the
principles set forth in this Executive Order, within applicable law;
and to otherwise improve the effectiveness of existing
regulations.''

    To carry out its lookback review of the MC Standard under these
provisions, OSHA requested public comment, on July 10, 2007, on: the
impacts of the rule

on small businesses; the benefits and utility of the rule in its
current form and, if amended, in its amended form; the continued need
for the rule; the complexity of the rule; and whether, and to what
extent, the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal,
State, and local government rules. OSHA also asked for comments on new
developments in technology, economic conditions, or other factors
affecting the ability of covered firms to comply with the standard.
Furthermore, OSHA asked for comments on alternatives to the rule that
would minimize significant impacts on small businesses while achieving
the objectives of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Conclusions and Recommendations

    OSHA's Section 610 review of the MC Standard finds the following:
     There is a continued need for the Standard.
     The Standard does not impose an unnecessary or
disproportionate burden on small businesses or on industry in general.
     Although the Standard does impose costs, these costs are
essential to protecting worker health.
     This lookback review did not identify any industries in
which the Standard diminished the industries' viability.
     There is no indication that employers are unable to comply
due to the complexity of the Standard.
     The Standard does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with
other state or federal rules.
     Economic and technological trends have not reduced the
need for the Standard.
     No public commenter felt the MC Standard should be
rescinded. Several of the comments underscored the hazards associated
with exposure to MC and that it is feasible to comply with the
Standard. Other comments contained specific suggestions for how
compliance with the Standard could be improved through compliance
assistance, and how worker health could be improved through information
on the toxicity of substitutes for MC use.
    OSHA's review of the MC Standard under EO 12866 finds the
following:
     The Standard remains justified and necessary in light of
ongoing hazards and fatalities.
     In general, the Standard is compatible and not duplicative
with other state or federal rules.
     The Standard remains consistent with E.O. 12866 because it
has produced the intended benefits (i.e., protecting workers' health),
and has not been unduly burdensome.
    OSHA concludes that the MC Standard has protected workers from
adverse health effects resulting from exposure to MC in the workplace.
In terms of economic impacts, the MC Standard does not impose an
unnecessary or disproportionate burden on small businesses or on
industry in general. Although the Standard does impose costs, these
costs are essential to protecting worker health. This lookback review
did not identify any industries in which the MC Standard diminished the
industries' viability.
    OSHA recommends the following:
     The MC Standard should continue without change.
     According to public comments, lack of information and
training are the most common barriers in the construction industry for
compliance with the MC Standard. Therefore, OSHA recommends reviewing
its compliance assistance materials to determine the need for updates.
OSHA also recommends reviewing the adequacy of how these materials are
disseminated and additional means for reaching affected populations.
     The use of substitutes for MC has increased in certain
industries. These substitutes may pose their own health hazards.
Therefore, based on public comments, OSHA will consider putting out
guidance recommending that, before a substitute for MC is used, the
toxicity of that substitute should be checked on the EPA and NIOSH Web
sites (http://www.epa.gov and http://www.niosh.gov, respectively).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. GM's Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see
implementing rule at 49 CFR Part 556), GM submitted a petition for an
exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
    This notice of receipt of GM's petition is published under 49
U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or
other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition.
    II. Vehicles Involved: Affected are approximately 170 MY 2013
Chevrolet Equinox MPVs manufactured on January 24, 2013.
    III. Noncompliance: GM explains that the noncompliance is that the
vehicles are equipped with left-rear quarter windows that do not fully
comply with the marking requirements specified in paragraph S6 of FMVSS
No. 205.
    GM further explained that the subject vehicles may be purchased
with either solar glazing (having light transmittance greater than 70%)
or privacy glazing (having light transmittance of approximately 22%)
installed rearward of the driver. On the affected vehicles, the left-
rear quarter window is privacy

glazing; however it has markings appropriate for solar glazing. The
correct privacy-glass markings and the markings on the affected quarter
windows are as follows:
    The specific noncompliance to FMVSS No. 205 on the subject quarter
windows is the AS2 designation (instead of AS3) and the M504 model
designation (instead of M513). The transmissibility value on the
subject windows is also incorrect (70% instead of 22%); however, this
information is not specified by FMVSS No. 205 and therefore is not a
compliance issue.
    IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205 specifically states:

    S6. Certification and marking.
    S6.1A prime glazing material manufacturer must certify, in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30115, each piece of glazing material to
which this standard applies that is designed--
    (a) As a component of any specific motor vehicle or camper; or
    (b) To be cut into components for use in motor vehicles or items
of motor vehicle equipment.
    S6.2A prime glazing manufacturer certifies its glazing by adding
to the marks required by section 7 of ANSI/SAE Z26.1-1996, in
letters and numerals of the same size, the symbol ``DOT'' and a
manufacturer's code mark that NHTSA assigns to the manufacturer.
NHTSA will assign a code mark to a manufacturer after the
manufacturer submits a written request to the Office of Vehicle
Safety Compliance, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20590. The request must
include the company name, address, and a statement from the
manufacturer certifying its status as a prime glazing manufacturer
as defined in S4.
    S6.3A manufacturer or distributor who cuts a section of glazing
material to which this standard applies, for use in a motor vehicle
or camper, must--
    (a) Mark that material in accordance with section 7 of ANSI/SAE
Z26.1-1996; and
    (b) Certify that its product complies with this standard in
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30115.

    Summary of GM's Analyses: GM stated its belief that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the
following reasons:
    1. The subject glazing meets all applicable performance
requirements of FMVSS No. 205. There is no safety performance
implication associated with this technical noncompliance.
    2. In addition to meeting all of the component-level performance
requirements of FMVSS No. 205, the subject glazing also fully meets the
vehicle-level installation requirements specified by FMVSS No. 205. The
subject tempered-glass glazing at 22% transmissibility is permitted in
the left-rear quarter window location on the affected vehicles.
    3. The actual transmissibility of the subject glazing
(approximately 22%) is consistent with all other glazing rearward of
the driver (i.e., the rear side windows, the back window, and the
right-side rear quarter glazing) on the affected vehicles. Accordingly,
there is no reason for the customer, state inspection authorities,
service personnel, or anyone else to focus on or detect any distinction
involving the subject left-side rear quarter window.
    4. None of the subject population of glazing will be available as
service parts. Therefore, if service replacement of the left-rear
quarter window on an affected vehicle is required, the replacement part
would be correct and properly labeled in accordance with all FMVSS No.
205 requirements.
    5. Even in the extremely unlikely event that a glazing
corresponding to the incorrect markings (i.e., solar glazing with 70%
transmittance) was installed on an affected vehicle, this would also be
fully compliant to all requirements of FMVSS No. 205, including the
component-level, vehicle-level and marking requirements of the
standard.
    GM also stated its belief that NHTSA has previously granted
inconsequential treatment for FMVSS No. 205 marking noncompliances.
    GM has additionally informed NHTSA that it has corrected the
noncompliance so that all future production vehicles will comply with
FMVSS No. 205.
    In summation, GM believes that the described noncompliance of its
vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that its
petition, to exempt from providing recall notification of noncompliance
as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall noncompliance
as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, these provisions
only apply to the 170 vehicles that GM no longer controlled at the time
it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, any decision on
this petition does not relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or introduction for delivery
or introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant vehicles
under their control after GM notified them that the subject
noncompliance existed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's

estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information
technology.

Animal Food Labeling; Declaration of Certifiable Color Additives--21
CFR 501.22(k)

OMB Control Number 0910-0721--Extension

    This information collection is associated with requirements under
Sec.  501.22(k) (21 CFR 501.22(k)) in which animal food manufacturers
must declare the presence of certified and noncertified color additives
in their animal food products on the product label. We issued this
regulation in response to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of
1990 (Pub. L. 101-535) to make animal food regulations consistent with
the regulations regarding the declaration of color additives on human
food labels and to provide animal owners with information on the color
additives used in animal food. Animal owners use the information to
become knowledgeable about the foods they purchase for their animals.
Color additive information enables a consumer to comparison shop and to
avoid substances to which their animals may be sensitive.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of
information are manufacturers of pet food products that contain color
additives.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

501.22(k); labeling of color additive or lake of           3,120           0.8292            2,587   0.25 (15 minutes).................             647
 color additive; labeling of color additives not
 subject to certification.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    Having become effective November 18, 2013, we estimate that the
burden associated with the labeling requirements under Sec.  501.22(k)
apply only to new product labels. Because the vast majority of animal
food products that contain certified color additives are pet foods, we
limit our burden estimate to reviewing labels for the use of certified
color additives to pet food manufacturers subject to this regulation.
Based on A.C. Nielsen Data, we estimate that the number of animal food
product units subject to Sec.  501.22(k) for which sales of the
products are greater than zero is 25,874. Assuming that the flow of new
products is 10 percent per year, then 2,587 new animal food products
subject to Sec.  501.22(k) will become available on the market each
year. We also estimate that there are approximately 3,120 manufacturers
of pet food subject to either Sec.  501.22(k)(1) or (k)(2). Assuming
the approximately 2,587 new products are split equally among the firms,
then each firm would prepare labels for approximately 0.8292 new
products per year (2,587 new products/3,120 firms is approximately
0.8292 labels per firm). We expect that firms prepare the required
labeling for their products in a manner that takes into account at one
time all information required to be disclosed on their product labels.
Based on our experience with reviewing pet food labeling, we estimate
that firms would require less than 0.25 hour (15 minutes) per product
to comply with the requirement to include the color additive
information pursuant to Sec.  501.22(k). The total burden of this
activity is 647 hours (2,587 labels x 0.25 hour/label is approximately
647 hours). The burden for this information collection has not changed
since the last OMB approval.

    Dated: February 13, 2018.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-85190; File No. SR-NYSECHX-2019-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Chicago, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
Rules of the Exchange To Adopt Article 1, Rule 5

February 25, 2019.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on February 21, 2019, the NYSE Chicago, Inc. (``NYSE
Chicago'' or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice
to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the rules of the Exchange
(``Rules'') to adopt Article 1, Rule 5 related to designation of
authority to act under the Rules. The proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's website at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at 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, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those 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 parts 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 and its direct parent, NYSE Chicago Holdings, Inc.,
were recently acquired by NYSE Group, Inc. (``NYSE Group''), which is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange,
Inc. (``ICE'').\4\ As a result of its acquisition, the Exchange became
part of a corporate family that now includes five separate registered
national securities exchanges.\5\ Following the acquisition, the
Exchange has continued to operate as a separate self-regulatory
organization and continues to have rules, membership rosters and
listings distinct from the rules, membership rosters and listings of
the other NYSE Group Exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Exchange Act Release No. 83635 (July 13, 2018), 83 FR
34182 (July 19, 2018) (SR-CHX-2018-004); see also Exchange Act
Release No. 83303 (May 22, 2018), 83 FR 24517 (May 29, 2018) (SR-
CHX-2018-004).
    \5\ The Exchange has four registered national securities
exchange affiliates: New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''), NYSE
Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca''), NYSE National and NYSE American LLC
(``NYSE American'' and together with the Exchange, NYSE, NYSE Arca,
and NYSE National, the ``NYSE Group Exchanges'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As part of its ongoing post-acquisition transition, the Exchange is
reviewing its Rules to identify potential rule changes that would
enhance and streamline the administration of the Exchange. Pursuant to
this review, the Exchange now proposes to adopt Article 1, Rule 5
(Designation of Authority) relating to the designation of authority to
act under the Rules, which is substantively similar to the third
paragraph of Rule 1 of the NYSE Rules (``NYSE Rule 1'').
    Rule 5 would provide that the Chief Executive Officer (``CEO'') or
the Chief Regulatory Officer (``CRO'') of the Exchange may formally
designate one or more qualified employees of ICE to act in place of any
person named in a Rule as having authority to act under such Rule in
the event that the named person in the Rule is not available to
administer that Rule. The proposal to specify that the designee may be
a qualified employee of ICE is based on NYSE Rule 1. Proposed Rule 5
would further provide that, for the purposes of a designation by the
CEO, a qualified employee is: (1) Any officer of ICE that the CEO deems
to possess the requisite knowledge and job qualifications to administer
that Rule; or (2) any employee of the Exchange \6\ that the CEO and the
Board of Directors deem to possess the requisite knowledge and job
qualifications to administer that Rule, and that, for the purpose of a
designation by the CRO, a qualified employee is: (1) Any ICE officer
that the CRO deems to possess the requisite knowledge and job
qualifications to administer that Rule; or (2) any Exchange employee
that the CRO and the Exchange's Regulatory Oversight Committee deem to
possess the requisite knowledge and job qualifications to administer
that Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The terms ``employee of the Exchange'' and ``Exchange
employee'' refer to an individual responsible for certain Exchange
operations who may also be responsible for certain operations of one
or more of the other NYSE Group Exchanges and/or affiliated
entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has implemented policies and procedures to formally
identify the officers and employees who have been delegated authority
to administer a particular Rule on behalf of any named person
identified in that Rule. The Exchange considers the delegation of
authority to be a corporate function; accordingly, such formal
delegation is subject to approval by the CEO, CRO and Boards of
Directors or Regulatory Oversight Committee of the Exchange, as
applicable, as well as compliance with all applicable bylaws of the
Exchange. These delegations of authority are centrally maintained and
periodically updated by the Office of the General Counsel to remain
current with final approval by the CEO or CRO, as applicable.
    The Exchange does not currently maintain a Rule similar to proposed
Article 1, Rule 5. Rather, certain Rules explicitly permit the Exchange
officer to designate other individual(s) with authority granted to the
officer under the relevant Rule.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See e.g., Article 20, Rule 10(b) of the Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change is immediately effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\
thereunder. In addition, the Exchange is requesting a waiver of the 30-
day operative delay to permit the proposed rule change to become
operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act,\10\ in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, proposed Article 1, Rule 5 would remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national
market system because it clarifies that certain agents of the Exchange
may act on behalf of the Exchange with respect to the administration of
the Rules and permits the CEO, CRO, and Boards of Directors or
Regulatory Oversight Committee of the Exchange, as applicable, to
formally designate one or more qualified employees of the Exchange to
act in place of any person named in a Rule within guidelines that are
identical to NYSE Rule 1. Therefore, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change fosters uniformity and consistency between the Exchange and
NYSE and, as a result, would facilitate Exchange compliance with, and
enforcement of, the Rule, which protects investors and the public
interest.
    The Exchange further believes that the proposed rule would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system because it would provide for continuity if
either the CEO or CRO is unavailable to act under a Rule. Having pre-
authorized delegations would allow for uninterrupted Exchange services
that rely on either the CEO or CRO acting under a Rule.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act. The proposed rule
change is not intended to address competitive issues but rather is
concerned solely with

facilitating Exchange compliance with, and enforcement of, its rules.

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 proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \13\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Exchange believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest because it would
permit the Exchange's CEO and CRO to immediately designate authority
under the Rule to other ICE officers and Exchange employees, which
would serve to accelerate the post-acquisition transition process and
therefore expedite the Exchange's integration into the NYSE Group
family of exchanges. The Exchange notes that this filing is identical
to NYSE Rule 1. For this reason, the Commission believes that waiver of
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby
waives the operative delay and designates the proposal as operative
upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \16\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RE: Do you have time for a quick call

Hi Donna Lee,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and start to 2022.  I wanted to get back to you about the attached email and also ask you a follow up question or two regarding the information you provided below.

First, in response to the attached email, we cannot tell from the data provided whether it was intended to include HRSG costs, and that figure would be low even without HRSGs.  Based on our estimates, the cost of a new heat recovery plant with HRSGs would be on the order of $750 million for that size plant.

Regarding your email below, we greatly appreciate the information you've shared and EPA's willingness to incorporate some of our recommendations.  Can you also please give us an idea where EPA landed on cancer risk for nonrecovery plants?

More importantly, we are wondering what your current thinking is on potential updates to the standards for nonrecovery ovens in light of risk findings.  We know that you asked a number of questions late in 2021 about bypass venting in general and Jewell in particular, and we were hoping to minimize the possibility of new requirements that are not technically feasible being introduced in a proposed rule.  For instance, each plant is rather unique and that is why the bypass venting requirements vary among them.  We are happy to have a conversation with you and provide additional information to clarify anything.

Thanks!

Kris

Hi. The posted modeling file reflects these changes below.

We incorporated your suggestion from your 7/7/21 email to reduce emissions by the ratio of ovens per stack for Vansant bypass vent stacks.

Your 7/7/21 email brings up the issue about SC-EastChicago-IN having a baghouse. We adjusted the emissions using the control efficiencies SunCoke provided in the review of the modeling file development, by 0.99/0.98. We had already been using 98% control, so we adjusted slightly upwards (decreased emissions) after your email.

We would use facility boundaries in the acute assessment, but there were no acute HQs > 1, so facility boundaries were not used.

Do we still need a call?

Hi Donna Lee,

Would you have time for a quick phone call (<30 minutes) with me a Katie sometime next week? We just had a couple of things we wanted to discuss. We are both pretty open on Monday but could do other days depending on your availability. Please let us know.
Thanks!
