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

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend the Exchange's fee schedule
applicable to its equities trading platform to eliminate fee code IX,
which applies to orders routed to Investors Exchange LLC using the
Exchange's TRIM or TRIM2 routing strategies.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
website at www.markets.cboe.com, 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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the Exchange's
fee schedule applicable to its equities trading platform (``BZX
Equities'') to eliminate fee code IX,\5\ which applies to orders routed
to Investors Exchange LLC (``IEX'') using the Exchange's TRIM or TRIM2
\6\ routing strategies. Currently, the fee schedule provides that
orders routed to IEX using the TRIM or TRIM2 routing strategies are
charged a fee of $0.0010 per share under fee code IX. In May 2018, the
Exchange removed IEX from the System routing table for its TRIM and
TRIM2 routing strategies,\7\ which are designed to route to low cost
away markets, due to increased costs associated with routing to IEX.
Since IEX is no longer considered as a potential routing destination
for those strategies, the Exchange proposes to eliminate fee code IX.
Orders routed to IEX using other routing strategies will not be
impacted by this proposed rule change and will continue to be charged
the same rates as in place today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ IX is associated with order [sic] routed to IEX using TRIM
or TRIM2 routing strategy.
    \6\ TRIM and TRIM2 are both routing options under which an order
checks the System for available shares and then is sent to
destinations on the applicable System routing table. See Rule
11.13(b)(3)(G).
    \7\ The term ``System routing table'' refers to the proprietary
process for determining the specific trading venues to which the
System routes orders and the order in which it routes them. See Rule
11.13(b)(3). Rule 11.13(b)(3) permits the Exchange to maintain a
different System routing table for different routing options and to
modify the System routing table at any time without notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed change to eliminate fee
code IX is consistent with the public interest and the protection [sic]
investors as this is a non-substantive change being made because the
Exchange no longer routes to IEX using the routing strategies specified
in that fee code. The Exchange had previously routed orders to IEX
using the TRIM and TRIM2 order routing strategies, which are designed
to route to low cost venues, but recently stopped doing so due to
increased routing costs associated with trading on IEX. As such, the
Exchange believes that updating the fee schedule to reflect that these
two routing strategies are not available for routing to IEX will
increase transparency around the operation of the Exchange to the
benefit of Members and investors. Because the proposed changes apply
only to a fee code that is no longer in use on the Exchange, the
proposed rule change will have no impact on the transaction fees
actually assessed to Members.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not

necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as
amended. The proposed rule change eliminates a fee code that is no
longer in use by the Exchange due to the fact that IEX is no longer an
eligible destination for the TRIM and TRIM2 routing strategies. As the
proposed rule change only makes a non-substantive change to retire a
fee code that is not currently in use, the Exchange believes that it
will not cause any significant burden on competition.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \12\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposed rule change may become operative immediately upon filing.
The Exchange notes that waiver of the operative delay would allow it to
immediately remove an outdated fee code from its fee schedule, the
elimination of which would ensure that the fee schedule properly
reflects the routing strategies currently available for routing to IEX.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because the proposed rule change is designed to increase transparency
around the operation of the Exchange and the routing strategies that it
provides. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay
and designates the proposal operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposal is
consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the

for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach
procedures at McCall Municipal Airport, McCall, ID. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of the McCall
NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the
Airport. This also would correct the airport name from McCall Airport
to McCall Municipal Airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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 this proposed 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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for 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 the
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 amends controlled airspace at McCall Municipal Airport, McCall,
ID.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:

Sec.  71.1  [Amended]

    2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal
Aviation Administration Order 7400.9U, Airspace Designations and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of July 31, 2017 (82
FR 35532), FDA published a notice announcing the public workshop
entitled ``Cardiac Troponin Assays; Public Workshop; Request for
Comments'' with a 120-day comment period to request comments.
    The Agency has received requests for a 30-day extension of the
comment period for the public workshop. The request conveyed concern
that the current 120-day comment period does not allow sufficient time
to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the public workshop.
    FDA has considered the request and is extending the comment period
for the public workshop for 30 days, until December 28, 2017. The
Agency believes that a 30-day extension allows adequate time for
interested persons to submit comments.

    Dated: November 13, 2017.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0361; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-026-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
The Boeing Company Model 727 series airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by a report of cracking in the left-side chord of the fin
closure rib on the vertical stabilizer. This proposed AD would require
repetitive inspections of the left and right side chords of the fin
closure rib for cracking and corrosion, and related investigative and
corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct cracking and corrosion in the left and right side chords of the
fin closure rib, which could lead to widespread cracking in the chords
that might weaken the fin closure rib structure and result in loss of
airplane control due to lack of horizontal stabilizer support.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 17, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-0361;
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-026-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    During a routine maintenance inspection an operator reported
finding a crack on the left-side chord of the fin closure rib. The
crack measured 2.4 inches long and ran along the length of the chord.
Cracking on the left-side chord of the fin closure rib is the result of
intergranual stress corrosion caused by the material properties of
2024-T351 extrusion from which the closure rib chord is made. This
material becomes vulnerable after the surface finishes begin to break
down as a result of normal in-service aging. We are

proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking and corrosion in the
left and right side chords of the fin closure rib, which could lead to
widespread cracking in the chords that might weaken the fin closure rib
structure, and result in loss of airplane control due to lack of
horizontal stabilizer support.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 727-55-0095,
dated September 24, 2012. For information on the procedures and
compliance times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for Docket No. FAA-2013-0361.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service
Information.''

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Where Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 727-55-0095, dated
September 24, 2012, specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, this proposed AD
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 98 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                    cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0914]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Taylor Bayou Turning Basin, Port Arthur, TX

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
the upper reaches of Taylor Bayou Turning Basin in Port Arthur, TX.
This action is necessary to provide protection for the levee and
temporary protection wall located at the north end of the turning basin
until permanent repairs can be effected. This regulation prohibits
persons and vessels from entering the safety zone unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Port Arthur (COTP) or a
designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from July 18, 2018
through January 31, 2023. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from July 11, 2018 through July 18, 2018.

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On August 14, 2017, the Coast Guard established a temporary safety
zone for the upper reaches of Taylor Bayou Basin in Port Arthur, TX.\1\
That emergency action was necessary to protect the damaged flood
protection levee and bulkhead during stabilization efforts. The U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the local drainage district
initiated and completed emergency repairs to protect against potential
storm surge during hurricane season. Permanent repairs to the flood
protection wall are now necessary. They are extensive and expected to
take approximately five to seven years. Damage to the temporary repairs
would make the surrounding community susceptible to flooding during
storm surge or extreme tide events that may endanger persons and
property in the surrounding community. The USACE has requested, and the
Coast Guard concurs, that protection measures must be instituted until
permanent repairs are completed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See the temporary final rule titled Safety Zone; Taylor
Bayou Turning Basin, Port Arthur, TX, Docket No. USCG-2017-0797 (83
FR 4843).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 16, 2018, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Safety Zone; Taylor Bayou Turning Basin, Port
Arthur, TX (83 FR 16267). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and
invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this
temporary safety zone. During the comment period that ended on June 15,
2018, we received one comment.
    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 repairs of the
flood protection wall.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Marine Safety Unit Port Arthur (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with the condition of the
flood protection wall will be safety concern until permanent repairs
can be effected. Potential damage to the temporary repairs would make
the surrounding community susceptible to flooding during storm surge or
extreme tide events that may endanger persons and property in the
surrounding community. The purpose of this rule is to ensure the safety
of the surrounding community and to protect persons, vessels, and the
environment during permanent repairs to the Taylor Bayou Turning Basin
flood protection wall.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received one comment on our NPRM published on
April 16, 2018, which was in support of the proposed rule. We also
updated the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule in the
NPRM to reflect the date of signature as the start of the enforcement
period.
    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone for navigable waters
of Taylor Bayou Turning Basin north of latitude 29[deg] 50'57.45' N
until January 31, 2023. These coordinates are based on WGS 84. The
duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of persons,
vessels, and the environment until permanent repairs to the flood
protection system are completed. This section will be enforced from
July 11, 2018 through January 31, 2023. No person or vessel is
permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated representative.
    As used in this section, a designated representative means a Coast
Guard coxswain, officer or petty officer, or a federal, state or local
officer designated by or assisting the COTP in the enforcement of the
safety zone. To request permission to enter, contact COTP or a
designated representative on VHF-FM channel 16, or contact Vessel
Traffic Service (VTS) Port Arthur on VHF-FM channel 65A or by telephone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Those persons or vessels permitted to enter the safety
zone must comply with all lawful directions given by 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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action
determination is based on the size, location, duration, and entities
impacted by the safety zone. The safety zone affects approximately 350-
yards of Taylor Bayou Turning Basin north of latitude 29[deg] 50'57.45'
N. A facility receives vessels within this zone and that facility would
be permitted to receive vessels based on previously agreed to
maneuvering calculations and plans.

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 no 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
temporary 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 (Public Law 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
contact 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

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 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, 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
establishing a temporary safety zone that would prohibit persons and
vessels from entering the upper reaches of Taylor Bayou Turning Basin
unless authorized by the COTP or a designated representative. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Public Notice For Waiver for Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance at
Big Spring McMahon-Wrinkle Airport, Big Spring, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to
nonaeronautical use and to authorize the conversion of the airport
property. The proposal consists of one parcel of land containing a
total of approximately 120.4 acres and one parcel of land containing a
total of approximately 86.0 acres.
    Ownership of the associated property transferred Webb Air Force
Base to the City of Big Spring via an ``Indenture'' between the United
States of America and the City of Big Spring, Texas on October 6, 1978.
The land comprising this parcel is outside the forecasted need for
aviation development and, thus, is no longer needed for indirect or
direct aeronautical use. The airport wishes to develop this land for
compatible commercial, nonaeronautical use. The income from the
conversion of this parcel will benefit the aviation community by
reinvestment in the airport. Approval does not constitute a commitment
by the FAA to financially assist in the conversion of the subject
airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid
funding from the FAA. The disposition of proceeds from the conversion
of the airport property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and
Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the
Federal Register on February 16, 1999. In accordance with Section
47107(h) of Title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use
assurance that requires the property to be used for an aeronautical
purpose.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 21, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this document to Mr. Cameron Bryan, Federal
Aviation Administration, Acting Manager, Texas Airports Development
Office, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Dear Panel Members:

Attached are some additional background materials for the January 9-12,
2007 FIFRA SAP Meeting to review and consider worker exposure assessment
methods.

The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP)  provided to the Panel material
prepared by the Agricultural Handler  Exposure Task Force (AHETF).  This
material includes a document entitled:  Procedures for Determining the
Required Number of Clusters and Monitoring Units per Cluster to Achieve
Benchmark Adequacy.   This document was provided to the Panel on the
CD-ROM  as III.F.  Sample Size Report.

In reviewing this document and its associated tables and simulations,
it became apparent to the Agency that some Panelists may wish to receive
additional background material on how these simulations were performed.
Specifically, Panelists may wish to review and comment on  the SAS code
used by the AHETF to generate these simulation results.  As such, the
Task Force was asked to provide this code to OPP so that it could be
distributed to the Panel and placed in the docket.  Please find this
code attached (in both *.sas and *.doc formats).

In addition, OPP has prepared a spreadsheet providing the hand
measurement data in a format that may facilitate the Panel's review
(note:  these data were already provided in the original submission to
the panel; this spreadsheet is just a re-formatting of that data).
Please find this spreadsheet attached in Microsoft Excel format.

Please let us know if you have any difficulty opening or reading these

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

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

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for 43
individuals from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) for interstate commercial motor vehicle
(CMV) drivers. The exemptions enable these individuals to continue to
operate CMVs in interstate commerce without meeting the vision
requirement in one eye.

DATES: Each group of renewed exemptions were effective on the dates
stated in the discussions below and will expire on the dates stated in
the discussions below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,

II. Background

    On May 9, 2016, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision to
renew exemptions for 43 individuals from the vision requirement in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (81 FR 28138). The public comment period ended
on June 8, 2016 and no comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to driver a CMV if that person:

    Has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each
eye without corrective lenses or visual acuity separately corrected
to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective lenses, distant
binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or
without corrective lenses, field of vision of at least 70[deg] in
the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability to recognize
the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red, green, and
amber.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

VI. Conclusion

    As of June 3, 2016, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
