DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF10-16-000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Planned Mid-Atlantic
Connector Expansion Project, Request for Comments on Environmental
Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meeting

July 15, 2010.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Mid-Atlantic Connector
Expansion Project involving construction and operation of facilities by
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) in Fairfax,
Prince William, Pittsylvania, and Fluvanna Counties, Virginia. This EA
will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to
determine whether the project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on August 16, 2010.
    Comments may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further
details on how to submit written comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice. In lieu of or in addition to
sending written comments, we invite you to attend the public scoping
meeting scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping Meeting, Mid-Atlantic
Connector Expansion Project, August 4, 2010, 7 p.m., Virginia Run
Community Center, 15355 Wetherburn Court, Centerville, VA 20120.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities.
The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement.
However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval
conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be
determined in accordance with State law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Summary of the Planned Project

    Transco's planned Mid-Atlantic Connector Expansion Project would
increase capacity by 142,000 dekatherms per day from Transco's Cascade
Creek Interconnect in Rockingham County, North Carolina, to delivery
points in Virginia and Maryland. The project would consist of the
following facilities in Virginia:
     Construction of about 1.44 miles of new 42-inch-diameter
pipeline loop \1\ (Mainline D) and appurtenant facilities from
Transco's Compressor Station 185 in Prince William County to milepost
(MP) 1584.83 in Fairfax County;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is constructed parallel to an existing
pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Replacement of about 1.35 miles of Mainline B pipeline
with the new Mainline D pipeline from MP 1584.83 to MP 1586.17 in
Fairfax County;
     New and replacement compressor units at Transco's existing
Compressor Stations 165 and 175 in Pittsylvania and Fluvanna Counties,
respectively; and
     Relocation of a pig launcher \2\ in Fairfax County to
Transco's existing Compressor Station 185 in Prince William County.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A ``pig'' is a tool that is inserted into and moves through
the pipeline, and is used for cleaning the pipeline, internal
inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to
all those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
http://www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    The new pipeline loop and pipeline replacement would primarily be
installed within Transco's existing rights-of-way. Installation of the
new Mainline D loop would be between Transco's Mainline B and C
pipeline rights-of-way. Transco would replace the Mainline B pipeline
with the new Mainline D pipeline between Transco's existing Mainline A
and C pipelines. Transco would install the new Mainline D pipeline
within the same trench of Mainline B. Following construction, permanent
operation of the pipelines would remain within Transco's existing
rights-of-way. The modifications at Compressor Stations 165 and 175
would take place entirely within the existing fenced stations.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\4\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species; and
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before an
application is filed with the FERC. As part of our pre-filing review,
we have begun to contact some Federal and State agencies to discuss
their involvement in

the scoping process and the preparation of the EA.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
The EA will be placed in the public record and, depending on the
comments received during the scoping process, may be published and
distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA
is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments
are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section beginning on page 5.
    FERC staff will be involved in discussions with other
jurisdictional agencies to identify their issues and concerns. These
agencies include, but are not limited to, the National Park Service;
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Virginia State Historic Preservation
Office; and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. With this
notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or special
expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally cooperate
with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may choose to
participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to their
responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
provided under the Public Participation section of this notice.

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations, we are using this notice to solicit the views
of the public on the project's potential effects on historic
properties.\5\ We will document our findings on the impacts on cultural
resources and summarize the status of consultations under section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act in our EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Historic
properties are defined in those regulations as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register for Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the planned facilities and
the environmental information provided by Transco. This preliminary
list of issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis.
     Impacts on residential and commercial areas; and
     Impacts from the new loop pipeline on the Manassas
National Battlefield Park in Manassas, Virginia.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on
the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and
measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific
your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before August 16,
2010.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
project docket number (PF10-16-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
eFiling staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the Quick
Comment feature, which is located at http://www.ferc.gov under the link
called Documents and Filings. A Quick Comment is an easy method for
interested persons to submit text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the
``eFiling'' feature that is listed under the Documents and Filings
link. eFiling involves preparing your submission in the same manner as
you would if filing on paper, and then saving the file on your
computer's hard drive. You will attach that file to your submission.
New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on the links
called Sign up or eRegister. You will be asked to select the type of
filing you are making. A comment on a particular project is considered
a ``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You may file a paper copy of your comments at the following
address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes Federal, State, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
planned project.
    If the EA is published for distribution, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Transco files its application with the Commission, you may
want to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are
included in the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the
Commission's Web site. Please note that the Commission will not accept
requests for intervenor status at this time. You must wait until a
formal application for the project is filed with the Commission.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on
the eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket
number, excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field
(i.e., PF10-16). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date range.
For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>. The eLibrary link also provides access to the
texts of formal documents issued by the Commission,

such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at http://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKETS OST-2001-10880

________________________________________________________________________
_____________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of   Continental Airlines, Inc.  filed  9/25/03   to:

XX  Renew for two years exemption under 49 U.S.C. §40109 to provide the
following service:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail
between any point or points in the United States, directly or via any
intermediate point or points, and any point or points in the
Netherlands, and between the Netherlands and any point or points in
third countries, and to integrate this authority with its existing
certificate and exemption authority.  Continental operates this service
pursuant to a code-share arrangement with KLM.

Applicant rep:  R. Bruce Keiner<PHONE_NUMBER>  DOT Analyst: Sylvia
Moore<PHONE_NUMBER>

D I S P O S I T I O N

XX  Granted (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action was effective when taken:  November 7, 2003, through
November 7, 2005

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		    Office of International Aviation

XX   The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and the Netherlands.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:  	XX  Holder’s
certificates of public convenience and necessity

		XX  Standard exemption conditions (attached)

_____________________________________

Conditions:  The authority granted to serve intermediate and beyond
points is limited to countries with which the United States has signed
open-skies agreements and/or countries for which the carrier holds
authority to serve under certificates or exemptions issued by the
Department, and for which it holds route integration authority, by
virtue of either the present action or other action of the Department,
and is subject to all conditions attached to that authority.

The route integration authority granted is subject to the condition that
any service provided under this authority shall be consistent with the
applicable bilateral aviation agreements between the United States and
the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in the award
of this authority requested should be construed as conferring upon
Continental additional rights (including code-share, fifth-freedom

2

intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier
entry is limited unless Continental first notifies the Department of its
intent to serve such a market and unless and until the Department has
completed any necessary carrier selection procedures to determine which
carrier(s) should be authorized to exercise such rights; and (b) should
there be a request by any carrier to use the limited-entry route rights
that are included in Continental’s authority by virtue of the route
integration and blanket code-share authority granted here, but that are
not then being used by Continental, the holding of such authority will
not be considered as providing any preference for Continental in a
competitive carrier selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s)
should be entitled to use the authority at issue.

___________________________________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found Continental qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §
385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date of
issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and the
filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

An electronic version of this order is available on the World Wide Web
at

  HYPERLINK "http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_ aviation.asp"
http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_ aviation.asp

U.S. Carrier Exemption Conditions

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the U.S. carrier
applicant(s) shall:

(1)  Hold at all times effective operating authority from the government
of each country served;

(2)  Comply with applicable requirements concerning oversales contained
in 14 CFR 250 (for scheduled operations, if authorized);

commencing any new service (including charter flights) to or from a
foreign airport, contact its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to
advise the PSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served; and

(7)  Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and
limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department of Transportation, with all applicable orders and regulations
of other U.S. agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0110]

Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    In accordance with Part 235 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice
that by a document dated October 4, 2013, CSX Transportation (CSX)
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval
for the discontinuance or modification of a signal system. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0110.
    Applicant: CSX Transportation, Mr. David B. Olson, Chief Engineer
Communications & Signals, 500 Water Street, Speed Code J-350,
Jacksonville, FL 32202.
    CSX Transportation (CSX) seeks approval of the proposed
discontinuance of a traffic control system (TCS) on main tracks between
Control Point (CP) Mount Morris, Milepost (MP) CC-26.2, and CP Middle
River, MP CC-80.6, on the Saginaw Subdivision, Chicago Division,
Saginaw, MI. A total of 67 controlled signals and 20 automatic signals
will be removed, with 28 power-operated switches converted to hand
operation. Approach signals will be installed at MP CC-27.9, CC-32.9,
CC-35.0, CC-49.1, CC-51.5, and CC-74.9. CSX Rule 261 will be replaced
and operation will be under DCS/track warrant control rules. There are
two locations that will remain as a TCS, with signals remaining in
operation. Those locations are at CP South Kearsley, MP CC-33.54, an
at-grade railroad crossing with the Grand Trunk Railway, and at CP
Holly, CC-50.42, an at-grade railroad crossing with the Canadian
National Railway. These locations will continue to be operated under
CSX Rule CPS-261.
    In its petition, CSX states that it seeks the proposed changes
because CSX Rule CPS-261 is no longer needed for present-day
operations.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey

Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://
www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2011-D-0787]

Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration
Staff; Investigational Device Exemptions for Early Feasibility Medical
Device Clinical Studies, Including Certain First in Human Studies;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a draft guidance entitled ``Investigational Device
Exemptions (IDE) for Early Feasibility Medical Device Clinical Studies,
Including Certain First in Human (FIH) Studies.'' Through the
approaches announced in this draft guidance, FDA intends to facilitate
early feasibility studies of medical devices, using appropriate risk
mitigation strategies, under the IDE requirements. Early feasibility
studies allow for limited early clinical evaluations of devices to
provide proof of principle and initial clinical safety data before the
device design is finalized. This draft guidance addresses the
information that should be provided to FDA in support of an early
feasibility study IDE application and explains the requirements
applicable to modifications to the device design or clinical protocol
during the early feasibility study. This draft guidance is not final
nor is it in effect at this time.

DATES: Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR
10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that the Agency considers your comment on this
draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the
guidance, submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by February 8, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the draft
guidance document entitled ``Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE)
for Early Feasibility Medical Device Clinical Studies, Including
Certain First in Human (FIH) Studies'' to the Division of Small
Manufacturers, International, and

Consumer Assistance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food
and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, rm. 4613,
Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send one self-addressed adhesive label to
assist that office in processing your request, or fax your request to

Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire
Ave., Bldg. 66, rm. 1204, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    This draft guidance is intended to provide assistance to FDA staff,
clinicians, clinical innovators, and industry on the development and
review of IDE applications (21 CFR 812.20) for early feasibility
studies of significant risk devices. Early feasibility studies allow
for early clinical evaluation of devices to provide proof of principle
and initial clinical safety data in a limited number of subjects.
During these studies, iterative device modifications are likely to be
made based on clinical experience. Early feasibility studies may be
appropriate early in device development when nonclinical testing
methods are not available or adequate to provide the information needed
to advance the developmental process, and clinical experience is thus
necessary. As with all clinical studies, initiation of an early
feasibility study must be justified by an appropriate risk-benefit
analysis and adequate human subject protection measures.
    This draft guidance discusses the key principles unique to the
justification for, and design of, early feasibility studies, as well as
outlines the general principles for preparing and reviewing early
feasibility study IDE applications. This draft guidance is not intended
to address all required elements of an IDE application generally or to
provide a comprehensive tutorial on best clinical practices for
investigational medical device studies.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on IDE for
early feasibility studies. It does not create or confer any rights for
or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An
alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statute and regulations.
    Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is announcing
the solicitation of nominations from sponsors of innovative device
technologies to participate in a pilot program for early feasibility
study IDE applications, which implements the approaches announced in
this draft guidance. The experience gained from the pilot program will
be used to inform the final version this draft guidance.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the draft guidance may do
so by using the Internet. A search capability for all CDRH guidance
documents is available at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. Guidance
documents are also available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    You may either send an email request to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to
receive an electronic copy of this draft guidance or send a fax request
to<PHONE_NUMBER> to receive a hard copy. Please use the document
number 1782 to identify the guidance you are requesting.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 812 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910-0078.

V. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES), either electronic or written comments regarding this
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no
longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

have been prepared by Nasdaq. Nasdaq has designated the proposed rule
change as constituting a non-controversial rule change under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) 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.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, Nasdaq 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. Nasdaq 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
    Nasdaq is proposing to update Rule 1160 to reflect the availability
of the FINRA Contact System (``System'') to Nasdaq members that are not
also members of FINRA, and to make a technical change to the name of
the System. The System maintains contact information records required
by both Nasdaq and NASD Rules 1120, 1150, 3011, and 3520. Both Nasdaq
and FINRA use this information for regulatory communications, and
compliance purposes, among other things. The information is provided to
FINRA as part of the membership application. If the applicant is
approved for membership, the new member is provided access to the
System and is responsible for entering the required information into
the System as well as keeping it current thereafter. Historically,
FINRA permitted access to the System only to members of FINRA. A Nasdaq
member that was already a member of FINRA could access the System to
fulfill its ongoing obligation to keep the required information
current; however, Nasdaq members that were not also members of FINRA
were not permitted access to the System. As a consequence, such firms
could only fulfill their obligation to keep the required information
current by submitting the information to Nasdaq via e-mail or paper
mail.
    FINRA recently made changes to the System so that Nasdaq-only
members may also access the System, thus eliminating the need for the
existing methods of providing such information. Nasdaq believes that
having a central electronic location for this information is superior
to the paper and e-mail-based methods of warehousing the information.
Nasdaq will have access to the information maintained in the System for
Nasdaq-only members in the same way as it has historically had with
respect to Nasdaq members that are also members of FINRA. As such,
Nasdaq is proposing to eliminate the language from Rule 1160 that
requires Nasdaq-only members to provide required information by means
other than the System. Nasdaq is also proposing to update the rule to
reflect the new name of the System adopted by FINRA.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ http://www.finra.org/Industry/Compliance/RegulatoryFilings/
FCS/P005662.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\6\ in general and with Sections
6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular 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 regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and 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. The proposed rule change is
consistent with these provisions in that it will make available to all
Nasdaq members an efficient means by which they may provide information
required by Nasdaq rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Nasdaq does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition 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 either solicited or received.

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, 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 \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires that a self-regulatory organization 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 Commission notes that Nasdaq has satisfied the five-
day pre-filing notice requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Normally, a proposed rule change filed under 19b-4(f)(6) may not
become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \10\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. Nasdaq has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. In its filing, Nasdaq
noted that the proposal would provide a means for firms to comply with
regulatory requirements more easily and quickly, and that keeping such
information in a centralized, electronic location would enhance
Nasdaq's and FINRA's oversight of these members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative period
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The proposed rule change would allow contact information, utilized for
regulatory communications and compliance purposes, among other things,
to be more efficiently collected in a centralized location. In
addition, the modification of the rule to reflect the new name of the
System will add clarity to Nasdaq's rules. Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposal to be effective upon filing with the
Commission.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
