To date, only one EPA aquatic guideline requirement ( rainbow trout LC50; MRID 43525001) is satisfied for this chemical. It is apparent that the problems in conducting acceptable aquatic testing stem from metiram's low solubility in water. For guidance on how to deal with poorly soluble materials, the registrant is referred to Appendix A of EPA's Pesticide Reregistration Rejection Rate Analysis ( EPA 738 R 94 0235). If you have any questions regarding this memorandum, you may contact Joanne Edwards ( 308 6736) or Tom Bailey ( 308 6666). 92 APPENDIX VI: US EPA Ecological Incident Information System The Office of Pesticide Programs ( OPP) has tracked incidents reports, given to EPA since about 1994, by assigning identification number in an Incident Data System ( IDS) and microfiching the reports. The Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( EFED) then enters the ecological related incident reports into a second database, the Ecological Incident Information System ( EIIS). This second database has some 85 fields for potential data entry. EFED has also made an effort to enter information into EIIS on incident reports received before establishment of current databases. Although EFED has added many of these reports, EIIS does not yet provide a listing of all incident reports received by EPA. OPP does not receive incident reports in a consistent format. For example, states and various labs usually have their own report formats. The incidents reports may involve multiple incidents involving multiple chemicals in one report, and may report on only part of an incident investigation ( for example, residues). EFED has made some progress in recent years, both in getting incident reports sent and entered. However, there has never been enough staff time and effort assigned to recording incidents. For example, the staff time and effort assigned to tracking and reviewing laboratory toxicity studies are greater than those assigned to tracking incidents.

EFED classifies EIIS entered incidents into one of several certainty levels: highly probable, probable, possible, unlikely, or unrelated. In brief, " highly probable" incidents usually need carcass residues, show large cholinesterase inhibition ( for chemicals such as organophosphates that depress brain and blood cholinesterase), or clear circumstances about the exposure. " Probable" incidents include those where residues were not available or circumstances were less clear than for " highly probable." " Possible" incidents include those where multiple chemicals may have been involved and it is not clear what the contribution was of a given chemical. OPP use the " unlikely" category, for example, where a given chemical is almost nontoxic to the category of organism killed or the chemical was tested for but not detected in samples. " Unrelated" incidents are those that OPP confirms as not pesticiderelated

EFED also classes EIIS entered incidents as use or misuse. Unless specifically confirmed by a state or federal agency to be misuse, or there was clear misuse such as intentional baiting to kill wildlife, EFED would not typically consider incidents to be misuse. For example, data entry personnel often do not have a copy of the specific label used in a given application, and would not usually be able to detect various label specific violations.

EFED believes the number pesticide related incidents reported in EIIS, while large, are a small fraction of pesticide incidents. EIIS entered incidents requires that mortality incidents be seen, reported, examined, and have investigation reports sent to EPA. Incidents often are not seen, because of scavenger removal of carcasses, decay in a field, or simply because carcasses may be hard to see on many sites. Poisoned wildlife may also move off site to less visible areas before dying. Incidents often are not seen because few people are systematically looking. Finders, seeing incidents, may not report incidents to suitable authorities to examine the incident. The finder may not know that it is important to report incidents or may not know who to contact. He or she may not feel they have the time or wish to make a telephone call, may hesitate to call because of their own involvement in the kill, or the call may be long distance which may discourage the caller. Incidents reported may not 93 get examined if time or people are limited or may not get examined thoroughly, with residue and cholinesterase analyzes, for example. Also, if kills are not reported and examined at once, there will be little chance of documenting the cause, since tissues and residues may decay quickly. States often do not send reports of examined incidents to EPA, since reporting by states is voluntary and some investigators may believe that they don't have the time or people to send incident reports to EPA.

In the static method, the pesticide and test organisms are added to the test solution and kept there for the remainder of the study time. In the flow through method, a freshly prepared, pesticide spiked test solution flows through the test chamber continuously for the duration of the test. The flow through method provides a higher continuous dose of the pesticide; however, the static method does not remove waste products and may accumulate toxic pesticide breakdown products and metabolites. Neither method exactly mimics a natural system. ( http:// docs. pesticideinfo. org/ documentation4/ ref_ ecotoxicity4. html ) Flow through system allows the testing of volatile and instable chemicals, problematic in static test systems.

7. Measured estimate is based on 15% of nominal test concentrations remaining at end of test. No actual values were provided in DER and the limits of detection at lower values is questionable. Measured EC 50 was based on actual mean green algae cell counts at end of study. Aquatic plant studies base the test concentrations on the 0 hour concentrations because the plants will take up test material during the study period and loss of test material is not necessarily due to instability of test material.

LSC detection. The process by which radioactive decay energy is converted to visible light and measured in an organic liquid environment is called LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTING ( LSC). In Liquid Scintillation Counting, the amount of light produced is proportional to the amount of radiation present in the sample and the energy of the light produced is proportional to the energy of the radiation that is present in he sample. This makes LSC a very convenient tool to measure radioactivity. http:// www. sfu. ca/~ rsafety/ APPEND9. pdf 98 REFERENCES a. Environmental Fate 00146764 BASF AG ( 1981) Hydrolytical Stability: ?

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63927; File No. SR-CBOE-2011-008]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Proposed Rule Change To Permit the Listing of
$0.50 and $1 Strike Price Increments on Certain Options Used To
Calculate Volatility Indexes

February 17, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on February 4, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``CBOE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by
the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    CBOE proposes to amend Rules 5.5 and 24.9 to permit the listing of
strike prices in $0.50 intervals where the strike price is less than
$75, and strike prices in $1.00 intervals where the strike price is
between $75 and $150 for option series used to calculate volatility
indexes. The text of the rule proposal is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to permit the Exchange
to list strike prices in $0.50 intervals where the strike price is less
than $75, and strike prices in $1.00 intervals where the strike price
is between $75 and $150 for option series \3\ used to calculate
volatility indexes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For example, CBOE calculates the CBOE Gold ETF Volatility
Index (``GVZ''), which is based on the VIX methodology applied to
options on the SPDR Gold Trust (``GLD''). The current filing would
permit $0.50 strike price intervals for GLD options where the strike
price is $75 or less. CBOE is currently permitted to list strike
prices in $1 intervals for GLD options (where the strike price is
$200 or less), as well as for other exchange-traded fund (``ETF'')
options. See Rule 5.5.08.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To effect this change, the Exchange is proposing to add new
Interpretation and Policy .19 to Rule 5.5, Series of Option Contracts
Open for Trading, and new Interpretation and Policy .12 to Rule 24.9,
Terms of Index Option Contracts. These new provisions will permit the
listing of strike prices in $0.50 intervals where the strike price is
less than $75, and strike prices in $1.00 intervals where the strike
price is between $75 and $150 for option series used to calculate
volatility indexes. The Exchange is also proposing to amend
Interpretation and Policy .08 to Rule 5.5 to permit $0.50 strike price
intervals for options on exchange-traded funds that are used to
calculate a volatility index by cross-referencing Rule 5.5.19.
    The CBOE Volatility Index (``VIX'') is widely recognized as a
benchmark measure of the expected volatility of the S&P 500 Index. In
less than four years of trading, VIX options have become the second
most actively traded index option class in the U.S., averaging 248,000
contracts per day in 2010. Combined trading activity in listed VIX
options and futures in 2010 accounted for over $42 million of ``vega''
(the unit of trading commonly used for over-the-counter (``OTC'')
volatility contracts) per day, which represents a significant portion
of all volatility trading executed in both listed and OTC markets.
    The VIX methodology is derived from a body of research showing that
it is possible to create pure exposure to volatility by assembling a
special portfolio of options. While the price of a single option
depends on both the underlying price and volatility, this special
portfolio is constructed, in the aggregate, to eliminate the stock
price dependence. In theory, this option portfolio would be comprised
of an

infinite number of options with continuous strike prices. In practice,
however, the options that are used to calculate VIX--as well as other
volatility indexes--are finite in number and are subject to a minimum
interval between strike prices. As such, the VIX methodology was
designed to accommodate certain limitations inherent in ``real-world''
options trading, such as a limited number of available options.
    CBOE and CBOE Futures Exchange, LLC (``CFE'') list options and
futures on the VIX, which is calculated using S&P 500 Index (``SPX'')
options. The Exchange believes that one of the reasons for the success
of products based on the VIX is a widespread recognition that VIX is an
accurate and reliable measure of expected volatility. CBOE has found
that both the range of strike prices for option series used in the VIX
calculation and the interval between the strike prices (measured as a
percentage of the underlying SPX value) of those options are important
factors contributing to the calculation of a meaningful index value.
The Exchange notes that the minimum strike price interval for SPX
options is $5.00, which is 0.4% of the underlying index level of
1286.12 as of January 31, 2011. The permissible strike price interval
for SPX options allows approximately 200 to 250 SPX series to be
included in the VIX calculation on a typical day. Additionally, CBOE
endeavors to list enough SPX options to ensure that the actual option
listings do not deviate too far from the theoretical assumptions
underpinning the VIX methodology.
    As CBOE seeks to apply the VIX methodology to options on ETFs and
individual equity securities, the Exchange believes that it is
appropriate to use option series that are comparable, in terms of
strike price range and strike price interval, to SPX option series in
order to calculate volatility index values that are recognized to be as
accurate and reliable as the VIX values. The Exchange believes that
allowing equivalent strike price intervals for options overlying single
stocks, ETFs and indexes with prices of $150 or less, will allow the
Exchange to calculate volatility indexes that are better estimates of
the expected volatility of option classes with underlying prices that
are low relative to the level of the S&P 500. For example, the minimum
strike price interval for United States Oil Fund, LP (``USO'') options,
the underlying for the CBOE Crude Oil ETF Volatility Index (``OVX''),
is $1. When this is measured in absolute terms it appears to be five
times narrower than the minimum strike interval for SPX options.
However, the relevant measurement for a volatility index is the strike
price interval as a percentage of the price of underlying; by applying
this metric, the strike price interval for USO options is 2.6%,\4\ more
than six times wider than SPX. Due to the limited permissible strike
price interval for USO options, only about 40 to 60 USO options are
used to calculate OVX on a typical day. This is despite covering a
wider range of strike prices than the strike price range of SPX options
that are used to calculate VIX. The Exchange notes that the SPX-
equivalent strike price interval for a $100 stock or ETF would be
approximately $0.40, less than the $0.50 or $1.00 intervals
contemplated in this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The closing price for USO shares on January 31, 2011 was
$38.61.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal will limit the expansion of
strike prices because it will only apply to options that are used to
calculate a volatility index. Further limiting the expansion of strike
prices, the Exchange is proposing to list series in $0.50 intervals
only for strike prices less than $75 and $1.00 intervals for strike
prices between $75 and $150.
Capacity
    CBOE has analyzed its capacity and represents that it believes the
Exchange and the Options Price Reporting Authority have the necessary
systems capacity to handle the additional traffic associated with the
listing strike prices in $0.50 intervals where the strike price is less
than $75, and strike prices in $1.00 intervals where the strike price
is between $75 and $150 for option series used to calculate volatility
indexes that would result from the current rule filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes this rule proposal is consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations under the Act applicable to a national
securities exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section
6(b) of the Act.\5\ Specifically, the Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) Act \6\
requirements that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest, and believes that the proposed limited expansion of strike
prices will enable the calculation of volatility indexes that are
recognized to be as accurate and reliable as VIX values. While this
proposal will generate additional quote traffic, the Exchange does not
believe that this increased traffic will become unmanageable since the
proposal is restricted to a limited number of classes. Further, the
Exchange does not believe that the proposal will result in a material
proliferation of additional series because it is restricted to a
limited number of classes.

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on postmarketing adverse drug
experience reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

DATES: Submit either written or electronic comments on the collection
of information by May 21, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane., rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Juanmanuel Vilela, Office of
Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr.,
PI50-400B, Rockville, MD 20850,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520) Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy
of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.

Postmarketing Adverse Drug Experience Reporting--21 CFR 310.305 and
314.80 (OMB Control Number 09109-0230)--Extension

    Sections 201, 502, 505, and 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 352, 355, and 371) require that marketed
drugs be safe and effective. In order to know whether drugs that are
not safe and effective are on the market, FDA must be promptly informed
of adverse experiences occasioned by the use of marketed drugs. In
order to help ensure this, FDA issued regulations at Sec. Sec.  310.305
and 314.80 (21 CFR 310.305 and 314.80) to impose reporting and
recordkeeping requirements on the drug industry that would enable FDA
to take the action necessary to protect the public health from adverse
drug experiences.
    All applicants who have received marketing approval of drug
products are required to report to FDA serious, unexpected adverse drug
experiences, as well as followup reports when needed (Sec.
314.80(c)(1)). This includes reports of all foreign or domestic adverse
experiences as well as those based on information from applicable
scientific literature and certain reports from postmarketing studies.
Section 314.80(c)(1)(iii) pertains to such reports submitted by
nonapplicants. Under Sec.  314.80(c)(2) applicants must provide
periodic reports of adverse drug experiences. A periodic report
includes, for the reporting interval, reports of serious, expected
adverse drug experiences and all nonserious adverse drug experiences
and an index of these reports, a narrative summary and analysis of
adverse drug experiences, and a history of actions taken because of
adverse drug experiences. Under Sec.  314.80(i), applicants must keep
for 10 years records of all adverse drug experience reports known to
the applicant.
    For marketed prescription drug products without approved new drug
applications or abbreviated new drug applications, manufacturers,
packers, and distributors are required to report to FDA serious,
unexpected adverse drug experiences as well as followup reports when
needed (Sec.  310.305(c)). Section 310.305(c)(5) pertains to the
submission of followup reports to reports forwarded by FDA. Under Sec.
310.305(f), each manufacturer, packer, and distributor shall maintain
for 10 years records of all adverse drug experiences required to be
reported.
    The primary purpose of FDA's adverse drug experience reporting
system is to provide a signal for potentially serious safety problems
with marketed drugs. Although premarket testing discloses a general
safety profile of a new drug's comparatively common adverse effects,
the larger and more diverse patient populations exposed to the marketed
drug provide the opportunity to collect information on rare, latent,
and long-term effects. Signals are obtained from a variety of sources,
including reports from patients, treating physicians, foreign
regulatory agencies, and clinical investigators. Information derived
from the adverse drug experience reporting system contributes directly
to increased public health protection because the information enables
FDA to make important changes to the product's labeling (such as adding
a new warning), decisions about risk evaluation and mitigation
strategies or the need for postmarket studies or clinical trials, and
when necessary, to initiate removal of a drug from the market.
    Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers,
packers, distributors, and applicants. FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Prescribing healthcare professionals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Up to 1,163,160 (total number of
prescribing healthcare providers in the U.S.).
    Estimated Time per Response: 8 minutes.
    Expiration Date: April 30, 2023.
    Frequency of Response: Other (use of this IC is optional so there

    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 279,465 hours.

Background

    FMCSA's primary mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and
fatalities involving large trucks and buses. The Secretary of
Transportation has delegated to FMCSA its responsibility under 49
U.S.C. 31136 and 31502 to prescribe regulations that ensure CMVs are
operated safely. As part of this mission, the Agency's Medical Programs
Division works to ensure that CMV drivers engaged in interstate
commerce are physically qualified and able to safely perform their
work.
    The public interest in, and right to have, safe highways requires
the assurance that drivers of CMVs can safely perform the increased
physical and mental demands of their duties. FMCSA's physical
qualification standards provide this assurance by requiring drivers to
be examined and medically certified as physically and mentally
qualified to drive.
    The purpose for this voluntary IC is to assist the ME in
determining if the driver is medically qualified under Sec.  391.41 and
to ensure that there are no disqualifying medical conditions that could
adversely affect their safe driving ability or cause incapacitation
constituting a risk to the public. Under Sec.  391.41(b)(12), a person
is physically qualified to drive a CMV if that person does not use any
drug or substance identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 Schedule I, an
amphetamine, a narcotic, or other habit-forming drug; and does not use
any non-Schedule I drug or substance that is identified in the other
Schedules in 21 CFR part 1308 except when the use is prescribed by a
licensed medical practitioner, as defined in Sec.  382.107, who is
familiar with the driver's medical history and has advised the driver
that the substance will not adversely affect the driver's ability to
safely operate a CMV.
    The use of this IC is at the discretion of the ME and facilitates
communication with treating healthcare professionals who are
responsible for prescribing certain medications so that the ME fully
understands the reasons the medications have been prescribed. This
information assists the ME in determining whether the underlying
medical condition and the prescribed medication will impact the
driver's safe operation of a CMV. Therefore, there is no required
collection frequency.
    The ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-5895,'' may be
downloaded from the FMCSA website. Prescribing healthcare providers are
also able to fax or scan and email the report to the certified ME.
Consistent with OMB's commitment to minimizing respondents'
recordkeeping and paperwork burdens and the increased use of secure
electronic modes of communication, the Agency believes that
approximately 50 percent of the ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Forms,
MCSA-5895,'' are transmitted electronically.
    The information collected from the ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication
Form, MCSA-5895,'' is used by the certified ME that requested the
completion of the form. The ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-
5895,'' is attached to the ``Medical Examination Report Form, MCSA-
5875,'' which becomes part of the CMV driver's record maintained by the
certified ME. The information is not available to the public. The
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations covering driver physical
qualification records are found at Sec.  391.43, which specify that a
medical examination be performed on CMV drivers subject to part 391 who
operate in interstate commerce. The results of the examination must be
recorded in accordance with the requirements set forth in that section.
MEs are required to maintain records of the CMV driver medical
examinations they conduct.

Discussion of Comment Received

    FMCSA received one comment from the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) in response to the 60-day Federal Register notice
published on September 8, 2022 (87 FR 55077). The NTSB's comments are
outlined below, along with FMCSA's response.
    The NTSB supports the renewal of the IC, but suggested FMCSA revise
the IC to make it a significantly more effective evaluation tool. It
specifically recommended the following:
     Revise the ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-
5895,'' to include all medications (prescriptions, non-prescriptions,
supplements) that the provider is aware the driver uses and all medical
conditions that the provider is aware the driver has, regardless of
whether those conditions are treated with medications.
     Do not limit the IC to cases with known potentially
impairing medications by removing the sentence on the form that states,
``During the medical evaluation, it was determined this individual is
taking medication(s) that may impair his/her ability to safely operate
a CMV.''
     Clarify what is being asked of responding providers by
removing all reference to regulations from the instructions and
clarifying that the responding provider is expected only to list
medications/medical conditions and to give a medical opinion on safety,
not to apply medical certification standards, which is the
responsibility solely of the ME.
     Enable responding providers to give complete medical
opinions by revising item 4 to ask the responding provider's medical
opinion about whether any of the driver's known medications or medical
conditions pose a risk to safe CMV operation, to provide the item

with a third response option (``yes/no/unsure''), and to include a
field for any clarifying comments.

FMCSA Response

    FMCSA considered the NTSB's comments but does not believe its
recommendations would enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of
the form based on the purpose for which the form was intended to be
used. The ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-5895,'' was
developed and intended to be used as a tool to supplement the
information obtained from the ``Medical Examination Report Form, MCSA-
5875,'' from the driver during the ME's review of the driver's health
history, and from the physical examination conducted by the ME. The
``Medical Examination Report Form, MCSA-5875,'' already provides the ME
with a complete health history for the driver including all current
medications (prescriptions, non-prescriptions, supplements) and medical
conditions as reported by the driver.
    The ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-5895,'' specifically
addresses medication(s) that may impair the driver's ability to safely
operate a CMV so that the ME fully understands the reasons the
medications have been prescribed and can consider the impact the
medication(s) and medical conditions for which the medication(s) has
been prescribed may have on the driver. This information combined with
the information obtained from the ``Medical Examination Report Form,
MCSA-5875,'' from the driver during the ME's review of the driver's
health history, and from the physical examination conducted by the ME,
is used by the ME when making a physical qualification determination.
    The ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-5895,'' contains
information regarding the driver's role and regulation in Sec.
391.41(b)(12) as a reference for healthcare professionals and does not
indicate that the healthcare professional must interpret the
regulation. The ``391.41 CMV Driver Medication Form, MCSA-5895,''
clearly states what is and is not expected of the healthcare
professional completing the form by requesting the healthcare
professional review the regulation provided, complete the form, and
return it to the ME. The form explains that the final determination as
to whether the individual listed on the form is physically qualified to
drive a CMV will be made by the certified ME. Question 4 was
specifically intended to obtain the medical opinion of the healthcare
professional completing the form regarding the specific medication(s)
they have prescribed to the driver for a particular medical
condition(s). It is the responsibility of the ME to use the information
provided by the healthcare professional completing the ``391.41 CMV
Driver Medication Form, MCSA-5895,'' as a tool to assist them in making
a physical qualification determination.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2018-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

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 Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 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.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, 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.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.
