DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2018-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1801]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway

(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations), as shown on
the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports, prepared by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for each community, is appropriate
because of new scientific or technical data. The FIRM, and where
applicable, portions of the FIS report, have been revised to reflect
these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and
others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the
currently effective community number is shown in the table below and
must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. Last year, I was smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. After switching to e-cigarettes, I was finally able to quit smoking combustible cigarettes. I can breathe easier, I can go running without having a coughing fit, and I generally feel healthier.

I would like to share my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56477; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2007-056]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC; Order
Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 2 Thereto,
To Retroactively Modify Pricing for Nasdaq Members Using the Nasdaq
Market Center

September 20, 2007.
    On June 1, 2007, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') 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 proposed rule change to make
retroactive to February 12, 2007, certain modifications to Nasdaq's fee
schedule to address transition issues arising from its commencing
operations as a national securities exchange. On July 27, 2007, Nasdaq
filed Amendment No. 1. On August 6, 2007, Nasdaq withdrew Amendment No.
1 and filed Amendment No. 2, which replaced the text of the original
filing in its entirety. The proposed rule change was published for
notice and comment in the Federal Register on August 15, 2007.\3\ The
Commission received no comments on the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56228 (August 8,
2007), 72 FR 45848.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has carefully reviewed the proposed rule change and
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 \4\ and, in particular, the requirements
of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which requires that Nasdaq's rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other
charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its
facilities. With respect to Rule 7013, the Commission believes it is
appropriate to eliminate Tape A revenue sharing for Nasdaq members
trading non-Nasdaq securities because this change restores the status
quo with respect to Tape A revenue sharing that existed prior to
Nasdaq's transition to exchange operation on February 12, 2007. With
respect to Rule 7014, the Commission believes that it is appropriate to
delete the rule in its entirety because Nasdaq began trading all
securities, including non-Nasdaq securities, on a single trading
platform on February 12, 2007; thus, a pricing distinction for trading
non-Nasdaq securities is not appropriate. The Commission also believes
that the remainder of Rule 7014 can be eliminated because the rule
references obsolete practices or is duplicative of other Nasdaq rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\6\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NASDAQ-2007-056) be, and it
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\7\

What Information Is EPA Particularly Interested In?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
business or other for-profit.
    Title: Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special
Permits
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1573.11, OMB Control No. 2050-0009.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31,
2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires treatment,
storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To obtain
the permit, the TSDFs must submit an application describing the
facility's operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit
application--Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to be used
for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design
capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be
handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site-specific
information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. In the
event that permit modifications are proposed by the applicant or EPA,
modifications must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004 and
3005.
    This ICR provides a comprehensive discussion of the requirements
for owner/operators of TSDFs submitting applications for a Part B
permit or permit modification. The information collections contained in
this ICR are divided into three sections: demonstrations and exemptions
from requirements (40 CFR part 264), contents of the part B application
(40 CFR part 270), and permit modifications and special permits (40 CFR
part 270).
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 165
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 74.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
74.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 12,209.
    Estimated total annual costs: $3,251,920. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $783,682 and an estimated cost of $2,468,238
for capital investment and maintenance and operational costs.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

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 proposes to extend the operation of its Supplemental
Liquidity Providers Pilot \3\ approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') to operate until March 30, 2010,
until the earlier of the SEC's approval to make such Pilot permanent or
through September 30, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61308 (January 7,
2010), 75 FR 2573 (January 15, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2009-98)
(establishing the NYSE Amex Equities SLP Pilot). See also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 58877 (October 29, 2008), 73 FR 65904
(November 5, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-108) (establishing the SLP Pilot).

of the SLP Pilot to October 1, 2009). See also Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 60756 (October 1, 2009), 74 FR 51628 (October 7,
2009) (SR-NYSE-2009-100) (extending the operation of the New Market
Model and the SLP Pilots to November 30, 2009). See also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 61075 (November 30, 2009), 74 FR 64112
(December 7, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2009-119) (extending the operation of
the SLP Pilot to March 30, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    In October 2008, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'')
implemented significant changes to its market rules, execution
technology and the rights and obligations of its market participants
all of which were designed to improve execution quality on the NYSE.
These changes were all elements of the NYSE's and the Exchange's
enhanced market model referred to as the ``New Market Model'' (``NMM
Pilot'').\4\ The NYSE SLP Pilot was launched in coordination with the
NMM Pilot (see NYSE Rule 107B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58845 (October 24,
2008) 73 FR 64379 (October 29, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-46).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As part of the NMM Pilot, NYSE eliminated the function of
specialists on the Exchange creating a new category of market
participant, the Designated Market Maker or ``DMM.'' \5\ Separately,
the NYSE established the SLP Pilot, which established SLPs as a new
class of market participants to supplement the liquidity provided by
DMMs.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See NYSE Rule 103.
    \6\ See NYSE and NYSE Amex Equities Rules 107B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NYSE adopted NYSE Rule 107B governing SLPs as a six-month pilot
program commencing in November 2008. This NYSE pilot was extended
several times in the last 12 months, and most recently; the NYSE SLP
Pilot was extended to March 30, 2010.\7\ The NYSE is in the process of
requesting an extension of their SLP Pilot until September 30, 2010 or
until the Commission approves the pilot as permanent. The extension of
the NYSE SLP Pilot until September 30, 2010 runs parallel with the
extension of the NMM pilot: September 30, 2010, or until the Commission
approves the NMM Pilot as permanent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 58877 (October 29,
2008), 73 FR 65904 (November 5, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-108) (adopting
SLP pilot program); 59869 (May 6, 2009), 74 FR 22796 (May 14, 2009)
(SR-NYSE-2009-46) (extending SLP pilot program until October 1,
2009); 60756 (October 1, 2009), 74 FR 51628 (October 7, 2009) (SR-
NYSE-2009-100) (extending SLP pilot program until November 30, 2009)
and SR-NYSE-2009-119 (extending SLP pilot program until March 30,
2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal To Extend the Operation of the NYSE Amex Equities SLP Pilot
    NYSE Amex Equities established the SLP Pilot to provide incentives
for quoting, to enhance competition among the existing group of
liquidity providers, including the DMMs, and add new competitive market
participants. Rule 107B--NYSE Amex Equities is based on NYSE Rule 107B.
NYSE Amex Rule 107B was filed with the Commission on December 30, 2009,
as a ``me too'' filing for immediate effectiveness as a pilot
program.\8\ The NYSE Amex Equities SLP Pilot is scheduled to end
operation on March 30, 2010 or such earlier time as the Commission may
determine to make the rules permanent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61308 (January 7,
2010), 75 FR 2573 (January 15, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2009-98).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the SLP Pilot, in coordination with the
NMM Pilot and the NYSE SLP Pilot, allows the Exchange to provide its
market participants with a trading venue that utilizes an enhanced
market structure to encourage the addition of liquidity facilitate the
trading of larger orders more efficiently and operates to reward
aggressive liquidity providers. As such, the Exchange believes that the
rules governing the SLP Pilot (Rule 107B) should be made permanent.
    Through this filing the Exchange seeks to extend the current
operation of the SLP Pilot until September 30, 2010, in order to allow
the Exchange to formally submit a filing to the Commission to convert
the Pilot rule to a permanent rule. The Exchange is currently preparing
a rule filing seeking permission to make the NYSE Amex Equities SLP
Pilot permanent, but does not expect that filing to be completed and
approved by the Commission before March 30, 2010.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The NMM Pilot was scheduled to expire on March 30, 2010 as
well. On March 12, 2010 the Exchange filed to extend the NMM Pilot
until September 30, 2010 (See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
61724 (March 17, 2010) (SR-NYSE-2010-25) (extending the operation of
the New Market Model Pilot to September 30, 2010).

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

2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'')
for this proposed rule change is the requirement under Section 6(b)(5)
\10\ that an exchange have rules that are designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, 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. The Exchange
believes that the instant filing is consistent with these principles
because the SLP Pilot provides its market participants with a trading
venue that utilizes an enhanced market structure to encourage the
addition of liquidity and operates to reward aggressive liquidity
providers. Moreover, the instant filing requesting an extension of the
SLP Pilot will permit adequate time for: (i) The Exchange to prepare
and submit a filing to make the rules governing the SLP Pilot
permanent; (ii) public notice and comment; and (iii) completion of the
19b-4 approval process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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 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 proposed rule change: (i) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (iii) by its terms, does not become operative for 30 days from the
date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest, 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 the self-regulatory organization to submit to 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 under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \13\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ the Commission
may 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 so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The Commission notes that because the pilot program will expire on
March 30, 2010, waiver of the operative delay is necessary so that no
interruption of the pilot program will occur. In addition, the
Commission notes that the Exchange has requested extensions of the
pilot to allow the Exchange time to formally request permanent approval
for the pilot. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal
operative upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission 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 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
