Ms. Alison Keane Counsel, Government Affairs National Paint and Coatings Association Mr. David Darling Director, Environmental Affairs 1500 Rhode Island Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20005 5597 Dear Ms. Keane and Mr. Darling:

Thank you for your letter of October 24, 2003, to Mr. Jeffrey Holmstead, in which you request that we make various changes to the final rule, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing, which was signed on August 29, 2003. We have considered your request, and I am writing to outline our preliminary response and plans for moving forward.

I understand that the project lead from my office has discussed these issues with you and that he has consulted the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance ( OECA) and the Office of General Counsel ( OGC). We are in general agreement with the corrections/ clarifications in items 2 through 4 of your letter. Although we agree in principle with your proposed correction in the first item, the contradictions in the preamble and the rule will have to be corrected through rulemaking. In addition, your letter raises two new issues that were not raised during the public comment period. We plan to address all these items you list through rulemaking by publishing Federal Register notices proposing to amend the final rule.

It is possible that petitions for administrative reconsideration or petitions for judicial review of the final rule could be filed within 60 days following publication of the final rule in the Federal Register. Such petitions and any related settlement discussions could include the same issues that you have raised, or additional issues. Given the potential need to consider additional changes to the final rule, we want to limit amendments to one rulemaking process. At the same time, we understand that affected sources would like clarification before getting started on their compliance strategies and that the period for seeking judicial review of the final rule is limited to 60 days from its publication.

Considering your requested changes and the timing concerns, we believe the best approach is to issue interim guidance close to publication of the final rule and to publish the necessary notice proposing amendments in the Federal Register sometime after the 60 day period following publication of the final rule. My office will be responsible for the rulemaking, and 2 OECA has agreed to develop interim guidance on items 2 through 4 of your letter.

Again, thank you for your letter. I appreciate the opportunity to be of service. If you have further questions, please contact me or Randy McDonald at ( 919) 541 5402.

Sincerely,

Stephen D. Page Director Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards cc: Jeffrey Holmstead, OAR Sally Shaver, ESD Randy Waite, ESD Randy McDonald, ESD Marcia Mia, OECA bcc: Kerry Rodgers, OGC Barry Elman, OPEI

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has submitted the following ICR to OMB
for review and approval according to the procedures prescribed in 5 CFR
1320.12. On April 17, 2007 (72 FR 19195), EPA sought comments on this
ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA received no comments. Any
additional comments on this ICR should be submitted to EPA and OMB
within 30 days of this notice.
    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-RCRA-2007-0232, which is available for online viewing at
http://www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the Resource Conservation

and Recovery Act (RCRA) Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA

them and without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted
material, CBI, or other information whose public disclosure is
restricted by statute. For further information about the electronic
docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov.

    Title: Land Disposal Restrictions (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1442.19, OMB Control No. 2050-0085.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that EPA develop standards for
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal as may be necessary to
protect human health and the environment. Subsections 3004(d), (e), and
(g) require EPA to promulgate regulations that prohibit the land
disposal of hazardous waste unless it meets specified treatment
standards described in subsection 3004(m).
    The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Part 268. EPA requires that
facilities maintain the data outlined in this ICR so that the Agency
can ensure that land disposed waste meets the treatment standards. EPA
strongly believes that the recordkeeping requirements are necessary for
the agency to fulfill its congressional mandate to protect human health
and the environment.
    Burden Statement: The annual reporting burden for this ICR is
roughly 85.3 hours per response. The annual recordkeeping burden for
this ICR is roughly 5.96 hours per response. Burden means the total
time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to

respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Private sector and State, Local, or
Tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 195,710.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,166,337.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $131,913,786, which includes $50,946
annualized capital and $88,731,016 O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 343,343 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to the increase in the
number of respondents, from 129,584 to 195,710. Particularly, the
number of small quantity generators increased because a better method
for counting them was used this time. The number of land disposal
facilities also increased from 131, which came from the 2001 BRS
estimate, to 464, which came from the 2005 BRS estimate from RCRAInfo.

    Dated: August 20, 2007.

Safety Zone; Allegheny River Mile Marker 0.25-0.8, Pittsburgh, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
the Allegheny River at Mile Marker 0.25-0.8 from 9:30 p.m. through 11
p.m. on May 19, 2023. This action is necessary to provide safety of
life on these navigable waters during a drone show display. This rule
prohibits persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Pittsburgh (COTP) or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:30 p.m. through 11 p.m. on May 19,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On March 2, 2023, the Pittsburgh Pirates notified the Coast Guard
that it will be conducting a drone show display from 9:30 p.m. through
11 p.m. on May 19, 2023. The drone show will be conducted approximately
100 feet toward the Allegheny River. In response, on April 3, 2023, the
Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled
``Safety Zone; Allegheny River Mile Marker 0.25-0.8, Pittsburgh, PA''
(88 FR 19579). There we stated why we issued the NPRM and invited
comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this drone show
display. During the comment period that ended April 24, 2023, we
received zero comments.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
respond to the potential safety hazards associated with the drone show.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The COTP has determined potential hazards associated with the
drone show on the Allegheny River at Mile Marker 0.25-0.8 from 9:30
p.m. through 11 p.m. on May 19, 2023. The purpose of this rule is to
ensure safety of vessels and the navigable waters in the safety zone
before, during, and after the scheduled event.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received zero comments on our NPRM published
April 4, 2023. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule
from the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    This rule establishes a safety zone from 9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. on
May 19, 2023. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters on the
Allegheny River from Miles 0.25 to Mile 0.8. The duration of the zone
is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled 10 p.m. through 11 p.m. drone
show display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on size, location,
and duration of the temporary safety zone. This safety zone impacts
0.55 miles stretch of the Allegheny River for a short amount of time of
1.5 hours on one evening. Vessel traffic will be informed about the
safety zone through local notice to mariners. Moreover, the Coast Guard
will issue Local Notice to Marines and a Broadcast Notice to Mariner
via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone and the rule allows vessels
to seek permission from the COTP to transit the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received zero comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the 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. We have analyzed this rule under that order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect 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.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have
a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
temporary safety zone lasting 1.5 hours that would prohibit entry
within Allegheny River from mile 0.25 to mile 0.8. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01,
Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting
this determination is available in the docket. For instructions on
locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 172(c)(1) of the CAA provides that SIPs for nonattainment
areas must include reasonably available control measures (RACM),
including reasonably available control technology (RACT), for sources
of emissions. Additionally, Maryland is in the Ozone Transport Region
(OTR) established under section 184(a) of the CAA. Pursuant to section
184(b)(1)(B) of the CAA, all areas in the OTR must submit SIP revisions
that include implementation of RACT with respect to all sources of VOCs
in the states covered by a CTG. See CAA section 184(b)(1). EPA defines
RACT as ``the lowest emission limitation that a particular source is
capable of meeting by the application of control technology that is
reasonably available considering technological and economic
feasibility.'' 44 FR 53761 (September 17, 1979).
    CTGs are intended to provide state and local air pollution control
authorities information that should assist them in determining RACT for
VOCs from various sources of fiberglass boat manufacturing. EPA has not
published a previous CTG for fiberglass boat manufacturing materials,
but did publish an assessment of VOC emissions from fiberglass boat
manufacturing in 1990. The 1990 assessment defined the nature and scope
of VOC emissions from fiberglass boat manufacturing, characterized the
industry, estimated per plant and national VOC emissions, and
identified and evaluated potential control options. In 2001, EPA
promulgated the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Boat Manufacturing, 40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVV (2001
NESHAP). The 2001 NESHAP established organic hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) emissions limits based on low-HAP resins and gel coats and low-
emitting resin application technology. Several of the air pollution
control districts in California have specific regulations that control
VOC emissions from fiberglass boat manufacturing operations as part of
their regulations for limiting VOC emissions from polyester resin
operations. Several other states also have regulations that address VOC
emissions from fiberglass boat manufacturing as part of polyester resin
operations. After reviewing the 1990 VOC assessment, the 2001 NESHAP,
and existing California district and other state VOC emission reduction
approaches, and after considering information obtained since the
issuance of the 2001 NESHAP, EPA developed a CTG entitled Control
Techniques Guidelines for Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials
(Publication No. EPA 453/R-08-004; September 2008).
    The CTG for fiberglass boat manufacturing materials provides
control recommendations for reducing VOC emissions from the use of gel
coats, resins, and materials used to clean application equipment in
fiberglass boat manufacturing operations. This CTG applies to
facilities that manufacture hulls or decks of boats from fiberglass or
build molds to make fiberglass boat hulls or decks. EPA's 2008 CTG
recommends that the following operations should be covered: Open
molding resin and gel coat operations (these include pigmented gel
coat, clear gel coat, production resin, tooling gel coat, and tooling
resin); resin and gel coat mixing operations; and resin and gel coat
application equipment cleaning operations.
    EPA's 2008 CTG recommends the following VOC reduction measures:

VOC emission limits for molding resins and gel coats; work practices
for resin and gel coat mixing containers; and VOC content and vapor
pressure limits for cleaning materials. Recommended VOC emission limits
for open molding resin and gel coat operations are shown in Table 1.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On December 23, 2015, the Maryland Department of the Environment
(MDE) submitted on behalf of the State of Maryland to EPA SIP revision
#15-07 concerning implementation of RACT requirements for the control
of VOC emissions from fiberglass boat manufacturing materials. Maryland
has adopted EPA's CTG standards for fiberglass boat manufacturing
materials, including the emission limits found in Table 1 of this
rulemaking action, through a regulation, found at Code of Maryland
Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.19 (relating to VOC from specific processes).
This SIP revision seeks to add COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 (control of VOC
emissions from fiberglass boat manufacturing materials) to the Maryland
SIP and also includes an amendment to COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> (control of VOC
emissions from reinforced plastic manufacturing) which was previously
approved into the Maryland SIP. In addition to adopting EPA's CTG
standards, COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 includes numerous terms and definitions
to support the interpretation of the measures, as well as work
practices for cleaning, compliance and monitoring requirements,
sampling and testing, and record keeping requirements. The amendment to
COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> at COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>A exempts fiberglass boat
manufacturing to avoid duplicative or conflicting requirements. Prior
to Maryland's new COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1, fiberglass boat manufacturing
materials were covered under COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> which did not address
fully EPA's CTG requirements. Thus, with COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 now
addressing fiberglass boat manufacturing materials, Maryland has
revised COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>A to clarify and exempt fiberglass boat
manufacturing materials from COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>A as these are now
clearly addressed in COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1. EPA finds the provisions in
COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 identical to the CTG standards for fiberglass boat
manufacturing materials and therefore approvable in accordance with
sections 172(c)(1) and 184(b)(1)(B) of the CAA.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Maryland SIP revision adding new regulation
COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 and amending COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>, which was submitted
on December 23, 2015, because it meets the requirement to adopt RACT
for sources covered by EPA's CTG standards for fiberglass boat
manufacturing materials. EPA is publishing this rule without prior
proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment and
anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules''
section of this Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse
comments are filed. This rule will be effective on September 30, 2016
without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by August
31, 2016. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if
EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rulemaking action, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text
that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by
reference of COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 and an amendment to COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>
into the Maryland SIP. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available electronically through
www.regulations.gov and/or may be viewed at the appropriate EPA office
(see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 30, 2016. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the ``Proposed Rules''
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking action.
    This action to approve the Maryland SIP revision adding new
regulation COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-1 and amending COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> may not
be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-180, OMB Control No. 3235-0247]

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:
    Form N-8B-4.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Form N-8B-4 (17 CFR 274.14) is the form used by face-amount
certificate companies to comply with the filing and disclosure
requirements imposed by Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-8(b)). Among other items, Form N-8B-4 requires
disclosure of the following information about the face-amount
certificate company: Date and form of organization; controlling
persons; current business and contemplated changes to the company's
business; investment, borrowing, and lending policies, as well as other
fundamental policies; securities issued by the company; investment
adviser; depositaries; management personnel; compensation paid to
directors, officers, and certain employees; and financial statements.
The Commission uses the information provided in the collection of
information to determine compliance with Section 8(b) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
    Form N-8B-4 and the burden of compliance have not changed since the
last approval. Each registrant files Form N-8B-4 for its initial filing
and does not file post-effective amendments to Form N-8B-4.\1\
Commission staff estimates that no respondents will file Form N-8B-4
each year. There is currently only one existing face-amount certificate
company, and no face-amount certificate companies have filed a Form N-
8B-4 in many years. No new face-amount certificate companies have been
established since the last OMB information collection approval for this
form, which occurred in 2017. Accordingly, the staff estimates that,
each year, no face-amount certificate companies will file Form N-8B-4,
and that the total burden for the information collection is zero hours.
Although Commission staff estimates that there is no hour burden
associated with Form N-8B-4, the staff is requesting a burden of one
hour for administrative purposes. Estimates of the burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the PRA and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
SEC rules and forms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Pursuant to Section 30(b)(1) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-29),
each respondent keeps its registration statement current through the
filing of periodic reports as required by Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m) and the rules
thereunder. Post-effective amendments are filed with the Commission
on the face-amount certificate company's Form S-1. Hence,
respondents only file Form N-8B-4 for their initial registration
statement and not for post-effective amendments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information provided on Form N-8B-4 is mandatory. The
information provided on Form N-8B-4 will not be kept confidential. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information 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.
    Please direct your written comments to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Cynthia
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an email to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part, A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class E airspace at West Texas Airport, El Paso, TX.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2014-1074 and

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR), Part 71 by removing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at West Texas Airport, El Paso,
TX. This action is necessary due to the closure of the airport;
therefore controlled airspace is no longer needed. Additionally,
geographic coordinates for El Paso International Airport, would be
changed from (lat. 31[deg]48'24'' N., long. 106[deg]22'40'' W.) to
(lat. 31[deg]50'59'' N., long. 106[deg]22'48'' W.); and Biggs AAF
coordinates would be changed from (lat. 31[deg]50'58'' N., long.
106[deg]22'48'' W.) to (lat. 31[deg]50'59'' N., long. 106[deg]22'48''
W.). These minor adjustments would reflect the current information in
the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It
therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal.
    Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
