DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1152]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part 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). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before January 31, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1152, to
Roy E. Wright, Deputy Director, Risk Analysis Division, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-
mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roy E. Wright, Deputy Director, Risk
Analysis Division, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, 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. These proposed elevations
are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2017-0090]

Notice of Application for Approval To Discontinue or Modify a
Railroad Signal System

    Under part 235 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations and
49 U.S.C. 20502(a), this provides the public notice that in a letter
dated October 4, 2017, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue
or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-
2017-0090.
    Applicant: Norfolk Southern Corporation, Mr. B. L. Sykes, Chief
Engineer C&S Engineering, 1200 Peachtree Street NE.; Atlanta, GA 30309
    NS seeks to discontinue signal A8E-1 and A8E-2 on running tracks
number 11 & 12 in the approach to control point (CP) Harrisburg on the
Pittsburgh Line at milepost PT 105 on the Harrisburg Division,
Harrisburg PA.
    These changes are being proposed because NS Operating Rule #93--
Main track within Yard Limits, states ``[a]ll train and engine
movements within Yard Limits must be made at Restricted Speed unless
operating on a block signal indication that is more favorable than an
approach.'' Yard limits signs are to be moved upon approval to CP
Harrisburg which will require all train and engine movements to be made
at Restricted Speed.
    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

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 parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The United States is the global leader in medical device innovation
and CDRH is committed to assuring that American patients have timely
access to important new technologies and next-generation products
without compromising their safety. Each year, millions of American
patients benefit from innovative medical devices that reduce suffering,
treat previously untreatable conditions, extend lives, and improve
public health.
    CDRH is responsible for advancing public health and facilitating
innovation to help bring novel technologies to market and make the
medical devices that are already on the market safer and more
effective. Recently, CDRH announced 25 actions it will take in 2011 to
strengthen its most widely-used premarket review process--the 510(k)
program--and increase its use of emerging science to foster innovation
and improve the predictability, consistency, and transparency of its
decisionmaking.\1\ These actions will not only improve the safety of
medical devices but also increase the ability of innovating companies
to attract investors, estimate costs, and more quickly bring products
to market.

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

    The report proposes actions CDRH might take to help accelerate the
development and regulatory evaluation of innovative devices safely and
based on sound science. These actions are as follows:
     Facilitate the development and regulatory evaluation of
innovative medical devices;
     Strengthen the U.S. research infrastructure and promote
high-quality regulatory science; and
     Prepare for and respond to transformative innovative
technologies and scientific breakthroughs.
    Part of the Medical Device Innovation Initiative would consider the
creation of a special Innovation Pathway intended to provide earlier
investment of CDRH time and resources in devices that are true
pioneering technologies and that have the potential to revolutionize
patient care or health care delivery. By front-loading critical
aspects, such as identifying clinical endpoints and key scientific
questions, and seeking advice from external experts, the Innovation
Pathway would facilitate a more efficient regulatory review process for
transformative devices.
    CDRH is seeking public comment on the proposals contained in the
report through an open public docket and will be hosting a public
meeting to solicit stakeholder feedback at our White Oak, MD campus on
March 15, 2011. Therefore, elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, FDA is announcing a public meeting entitled ``CDRH's Medical
Device Innovation Initiative Public Workshop.''
    CDRH requests public comments on the report in general, as well as
the following specific questions and topics:
    1. The eligibility criteria for the Innovation Pathway.
    2. How should CDRH determine what types of technology should be
allowed into the Innovation Pathway and at what point they should no
longer be accepted as innovative products? For example, under Expedited
Review, if multiple applications for the same type of device offering
comparable advantage over existing approved alternatives have been
granted expedited review, they are reviewed with priority assigned on a
first-in-first-reviewed basis for each review cycle. Furthermore, if
one of these applications is approved, the remaining expedited
applications will retain their expedited status until a final decision
is rendered after which point no additional devices of this type will
be granted expedited review status. Should the same process be used for
the Innovation Pathway?
    3. What are the appropriate timeframes for review of submissions
under the Innovation Pathway? Should final regulatory submissions from
devices developed under the Innovation Pathway be reviewed on a
shortened timeframe? For comparison, the review times to which CDRH has
currently committed under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization
Act are available at: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Overview/MedicalDeviceUserFeeandModernizationActMDUFMA/ucm109319.htm.
    4. Criteria for clinical test center certification.
    5. Candidates for interagency or public-private partnerships to
foster medical device innovation.
    6. Other actions CDRH should take to facilitate the development,
assessment, and regulatory review of innovative medical devices while
assuring their safety and effectiveness.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension: Rule 31 and Form R31, SEC File No. 270-537, OMB Control
No. 3235-0597.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 31 (17 CFR
240.31) and Form R31 (17 CFR 249.11) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78ee) (``Exchange Act''). The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Section 31 of the Exchange Act requires the Commission to collect
fees and assessments from national securities exchanges and national
securities associations (collectively, ``self-regulatory
organizations'' or ``SROs'') based on the volume of their securities
transactions. To collect the proper amounts, the Commission adopted
Rule 31 and Form R31 under the Exchange Act whereby each SRO must
report to the Commission the volume of its securities transactions and
the Commission, based on those data, calculates the amount of fees and
assessments that each SRO owes pursuant to Section 31. Rule 31 and Form
R31 require each SRO to provide these data on a monthly basis.
    Currently, there are 26 respondents under Rule 31 that are subject
to the

collection of information requirements of Rule 31: 22 National
securities exchanges, one security futures exchange, one national
securities association, and two registered clearing agencies that are
required to provide certain data in their possession needed by the SROs
to complete Form R31, although these two clearing agencies are not
themselves required to complete and submit Form R31. The Commission
estimates that the total burden for all 26 respondents is 390 hours per
year. The Commission estimates that, based on previous and current
experience, three additional national securities exchanges will become
registered and subject to the reporting requirements of Rule 31 over
the course of the authorization period and collectively incur a burden
of 18 hours per year. Thus, the Commission estimates the total burden
for the existing and expected new respondents to be 408 hours per year.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Charles Riddle, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0109; FRL-8892-2]
RIN 2070-AB27

Revocation of the Significant New Use Rule on a Certain Chemical
Substance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is revoking a significant new use rule (SNUR) promulgated
under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for
the chemical substance identified generically as substituted
ethoxyethylamine phosphonate, which was covered by premanufacture
notice (PMN) P-95-1950. EPA issued a SNUR designating certain
activities as significant new uses based on the concern criteria.
Subsequently, EPA received and reviewed new information and test data
for the chemical substance. Based on the new information and test data,
the Agency no longer finds that the activities not described in PMN P-
95-1950 constitute significant new uses.

DATES: This final rule is effective February 6, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture,
import, process, or use the chemical substance contained in this
revocation. Potentially affected entities may include, but are not
limited to:
     Manufacturers, importers, or processors of the subject
chemical substance (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical
manufacturing and petroleum refineries.
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. To determine
whether you or your business may be affected by this action, you should
carefully examine the applicability provisions in Sec.  721.5. If you
have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

    In the Federal Register of May 11, 2011 (76 FR 27294) (FRL-8871-3),
the Agency proposed revocation of the SNUR at 40 CFR 721.6078 for the
chemical substance identified generically as substituted
ethoxyethylamine phosphonate (PMN P-95-1950). The comment period for
the proposed rule closed on June 10, 2011; EPA received no comments on
the action.
    Based on the results of submitted aquatic toxicity testing for the
chemical substance, EPA has determined that the substance has
inherently low toxicity, mitigating concerns for toxicity to aquatic
organisms. Therefore, EPA rescinds its determination that releases to
water resulting in stream concentrations that exceed 30 parts per
billion (ppb) may cause significant adverse environmental effects.
Based on available information, the substance no longer meets the
concern criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii). Therefore, EPA is revoking
the SNUR for this chemical substance pursuant to Sec.  721.185(a)(4).

B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all
relevant factors, including those listed in TSCA section 5(a)(2). Once
EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new
use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit a significant
new use notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they manufacture,
import, or process the chemical substance for that use. The mechanism
for reporting under this requirement is established under Sec.  721.5.
    Upon conclusion of the review for PMN P-95-1950, based on the
concern criteria in Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii), EPA determined that there
was a concern for potential environmental effects of the substance and
promulgated a SNUR for this chemical substance.
    Under Sec.  721.185, EPA may at any time revoke a SNUR for a
chemical substance which has been added to subpart E of 40 CFR part 721
if EPA makes one of the determinations set forth in Sec.  721.185
(a)(1) through (a)(6). Revocation may occur on EPA's initiative or in
response to a written request. EPA has determined that the criteria set
forth in Sec.  721.185(a)(4) have been satisfied for the chemical
substance. Therefore, EPA is hereby revoking the SNUR provisions for
this chemical substance. When this final revocation becomes effective,
EPA will no longer require notice of intent to manufacture, import, or
process this substance for any significant new uses. In addition,
export notification under TSCA section 12(b) and 40 CFR part 707,
subpart D triggered by the SNUR would no longer be required.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This rule revokes or eliminates an existing regulatory requirement
and does not contain any new or amended requirements. As such, the
Agency has determined that this SNUR revocation would not have any
adverse impacts, economic or otherwise.
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types
of regulatory actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). This
rule does not contain any information collections subject to approval
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Since this rule eliminates a reporting requirement, the Agency
certifies pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), that this SNUR revocation would not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    For the same reasons, this action does not require any action under
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L.
104-4). This rule has neither Federalism implications, because it would
not have substantial direct effects on States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government,
as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999), nor tribal implications, because it would not
have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian Tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically
significant regulatory action as defined under Executive Order 12866,
and it does not address environmental health or safety risks
disproportionately affecting children. It is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly
Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001),
because this action is not expected to affect energy supply,
distribution, or use. Because this action does not involve any
technical standards, section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-

113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note), does not apply to this action.
This action does not involve special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as required by Executive Order 12898, entitled
Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

IV. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register.
This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2017-0179]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of denials.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to deny applications from 24
individuals who requested an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) prohibiting persons with a clinical
diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a
loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to operate a commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) from operating CMVs in interstate commerce.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64-224,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
E.T., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you have
questions regarding viewing or submitting material to the docket,
contact Docket Services, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Electronic Access

    You may see all the comments online through the Federal Document
Management System (FDMS) at: http://www.regulations.gov.
    Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments, go to http://www.regulations.gov and/or Room W12-140 on the
ground level of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
    Privacy Act: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits
comments from the public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT
posts these comments, without edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to http://www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed
at http://www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    FMCSA received applications from 24 individuals who requested an
exemption from the FMCSRs prohibiting persons with a clinical diagnosis
of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to operate a CMV from operating
CMVs in interstate commerce.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to or greater than, the level of safety
that would be obtained by complying with the regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8).

III. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for two years if it finds ``such an exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such an exemption.''
    The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on the eligibility criteria, the terms and conditions for Federal
exemptions, and an individualized assessment of each applicant's
medical information provided by the applicant.

IV. Conclusion

    The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the
criteria eligibility or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal
exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to or greater than, the level of safety
that would be obtained by complying with the regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8). Therefore, the 24 applicants in this notice have been
denied exemptions from the physical qualification standards in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8).
    Each applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of
final disposition regarding his/her exemption request. Those decision
letters fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitutes final
action by the Agency. This notice summarizes the Agency's recent
denials as required under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically
publishing names and reasons for denial.
    The following 24 applicants do not meet the minimum time
requirement for being seizure-free, either on or off of anti-seizure
medication:
