Dear Regional Administrator Brooks:

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requests that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approve the attached amendment to the state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted to EPA on February 19, 2014, to prevent future violations of the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in Muscatine, Iowa.  This amendment request includes modified construction permits for two facilities that are part of the PM2.5 control strategy in Muscatine, and a revised air dispersion modeling analysis that demonstrates continued attainment with the PM2.5 NAAQS in Muscatine.

Twelve construction permits were modified to reflect current operating conditions and stack configurations at the Union Tank Car (UTLX) facility.  Permits for four emission points at UTLX were modified to change PM2.5 emission limits resulting from the removal of control requirements while permits for four other emission points at the facility were modified to add control requirements and establish new PM2.5 limits.  The permits for four other emission points at UTLX were modified to incorporate changes in stack configuration and allow for revised dates for installation of controls.  Conditions pertaining to compliance demonstrations and operating condition monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting are included in each UTLX permit.

Two construction permits were modified at Muscatine Power & Water (MPW) to include updated PM2.5 emission limits associated with the rail unloading system. Conditions pertaining to compliance demonstrations and operating condition monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting are included in each MPW permit.

The modified construction permits for both facilities included in this amendment submittal replace the construction permits for the applicable units that were included in the February 19, 2014, submittal.

An updated modeling analysis demonstrating that the permitted equipment modifications will allow for modeled attainment of the PM2.5 NAAQS is available in the modeling folder of the DNR's ftp server.  Instructions for accessing the ftp server can be provided upon request.

Notice to the public of the opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the UTLX permit modifications was published in the Muscatine Journal on July 30, 2014.  A public comment period was completed from July 30, 2014 to August 28, 2014.  Notice to the public of the opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the MPW permit modifications was published in the Muscatine Journal on August 1, 2014.  A public comment period was completed from August 1, 2014 to September 4, 2014.  The proofs of publication for both comment periods is attached.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Jim McGraw at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Sincerely,

Catharine Fitzsimmons, Chief
Air Quality Bureau

39-19369; AD 2018-17-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. Turboprop
and Turboshaft Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-02-14 for
certain Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) TPE331 turboprop and
TSE331 turboshaft engines. AD 2018-02-14 required inspection of the
affected combustion chamber case assembly, replacement of those
assemblies found cracked, and removal of affected assemblies on certain
TPE331 and TSE331 engines. This AD retains the inspection and
replacement requirements in AD 2018-02-04; revises the Applicability to
add the TPE331-12 engine model and the related inspection action,
correct references to certain engine models; and revises compliance to
allow certain weld repair procedures. This AD was prompted by comments
to revise the applicability and required actions of AD 2018-02-14 to
include the TPE331-12B engine model, correct certain TPE engine model
typographical errors, and to allow certain weld repair procedures. We
are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 22, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 22,
2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2018-02-14, Amendment 39-19167 (83 FR 3263,
January 24, 2018), (``AD 2018-02-14''). AD 2018-02-14 applied to
certain Honeywell TPE331 turboprop and TSE331 turboshaft engines. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 25, 2018 (83 FR 29479).
The NPRM was prompted by comments to revise the applicability and
required actions of AD 2018-02-14 to include the TPE331-12B engine
model, correct certain TPE engine model typographical errors, and to
allow certain weld repair procedures. The NPRM proposed to continue to
require the inspection and replacement of the affected combustion
chamber case assembly on certain TPE331 and TSE331 engines. The NPRM
also proposed to revise the Applicability to include the TPE331-12B
engine model and the related inspection action, correct references to
the TPE331-43-A, -43-BL, -47-A, -55-B, and -61-A engine models, and to
allow weld repair procedures to the applicable combustion chamber case
assemblies provided those procedures are approved by the Manager, Los
Angeles ACO Branch. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Honeywell Service Bulletin (SB) TPE331-72-2178,
Revision 0, dated May 3, 2011 and Honeywell SB TPE331-72-2179, Revision
0, dated May 3, 2011. Honeywell SB TPE331-72-2178, Revision 0,
describes procedures for inspection and removal of the affected
combustion chamber case assemblies installed on all affected engines
except for the TPE331-12B engine model. Honeywell SB TPE331-72-2179,
Revision 0, describes procedures for inspection and removal of the
affected combustion chamber case assemblies installed on the TPE331-12B
engine model. This service information is reasonably available because
the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    We reviewed Honeywell SBs TPE331-72-2228, Revision 0, dated June
12, 2014; TPE331-72-2230, Revision 0, dated June 19, 2014; TPE331-72-
2218, Revision 2, dated February 18, 2017; TPE331-72-2244, Revision 2,
dated March 20 2017; TPE331-72-2235, Revision 2, dated February 18,
2017; TPE331-72-2281, Revision 0, dated July 22, 2016; TPE331-72-2294,
Revision 0, dated December 22, 2016; TPE331-72-2231, Revision 1, dated
August 1, 2017; and TSE331-72-2245, Revision 0, dated November 11,
2016. These SBs provide guidance on replacement of the affected
combustion chamber case assemblies.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 5,644 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We
estimate that 158 engines will need this replacement during the first
year of inspection.

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.

    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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),
    (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.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2119]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

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_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 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.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, 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. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the

respective community map repository address listed in the table below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-76480; File No. S7-08-14]

Order Granting a Conditional Exemption Under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 From the Confirmation Requirements of Exchange Act
Rule 10b-10(a) for Certain Transactions in Money Market Funds

November 19, 2015.

I. Introduction

    On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') published a notice requesting comment on a proposal to
grant a conditional exemption to broker-dealers, subject to certain
conditions, from the immediate confirmation requirements of Rule 10b-10
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') for
transactions effected in shares of institutional prime money market
funds.\1\ Concurrent with the issuance of the Notice, the Commission
adopted amendments to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
(``Investment Company Act'') \2\ that, among other things, require
institutional prime money market funds \3\ to sell and redeem fund
shares based on the current market-based value of the securities held
in their portfolios (i.e., transact at a ``floating'' net asset value
(``NAV'')).\4\ The Commission received two comments in response to the
Notice.\5\ After careful consideration the Commission is granting the
proposed exemption pursuant to Exchange Act Section 36(a) \6\ and Rule
10b-10(f),\7\ and providing certain clarifications to address comments
received.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Notice of Proposed Exemptive Order Granting Permanent
Exemptions Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 from the
Confirmation Requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10 for Certain
Money Market Funds, Exchange Act Release No. 72658 (July 23, 2014),
79 FR 44076 (July 29, 2014) (``Notice'').
    \2\ 17 CFR 270.2a-7.
    \3\ ``Institutional prime money market funds'' are money market
funds operating in accordance with Investment Company Act Rule 2a-
7(c)(1)(ii), which include funds that are often referred to as (i)
``tax exempt'' or (ii) ``municipal'' funds that do not qualify as a
``retail money market fund'' as defined in Rule 2a-7(a)(25).
    \4\ See Money Market Fund Reform; Amendments to Form PF,
Securities Act Release No. 9616, Investment Advisers Act Release No.
3879, Investment Company Act Release No. 31166 (July 23, 2014), 79
FR 47736, at section III.B (Aug. 14, 2014) (``Money Market Fund
Reform Adopting Release'').
    \5\ See Letters to Kevin M. O'Neill, Deputy Secretary,
Commission, from J. Charles Cardona, President, The Dreyfus
Corporation (Aug. 19, 2014) (``Dreyfus Letter''), http://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-08-14/s70814-2.pdf; and Dorothy Donohue,
Acting General Counsel, Investment Company Institute (Aug. 15, 2014)
(``ICI Letter''), http://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-08-14/s70814-1.pdf.
    \6\ Section 36(a) of the Exchange Act generally authorizes the
Commission to conditionally or unconditionally exempt any person,
security, or transaction, or any class or classes of persons,
securities, or transactions, from certain provisions of the Exchange
Act or certain rules or regulations thereunder, by rule, regulation,
or order, to the extent that such exemption is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, and is consistent with the
protection of investors. 15 U.S.C. 78mm.
    \7\ Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(f) provides that the Commission may
conditionally or unconditionally exempt any broker or dealer from
the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Rule 10b-10 with
regard to specific transactions or specific classes of transactions
for which the broker or dealer will provide alternative procedures
to effect the purposes of the rule. 17 CFR 240.10b-10(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Proposal for Exemptions Pursuant to Notice

    Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a) generally requires broker-dealers to
provide customers with specified information relating to their
securities transactions at or before the completion of the
transactions.\8\ Rule 10b-10(b), however, provides an exception from
this requirement for certain transactions in money market funds that
attempt to maintain a stable NAV when no sales load or redemption fee
is charged.\9\ The exception permits broker-dealers to provide
transaction information to money market fund shareholders on a monthly,
rather than immediate, basis, subject to the conditions set forth in
paragraphs (2) and (3) of Rule 10b-10(b).\10\ Accordingly, customers
historically have received information about their transactions in
shares of money market funds, including institutional prime money
market funds, on a monthly basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.10b-10(a).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.10b-10(b).
    \10\ With respect to such money market funds, Exchange Act Rule
10b-10(b)(2) requires a broker-dealer to give or send to a customer
within five business days after the end of each monthly period: A
written statement disclosing, each purchase or redemption, effected
for or with, and each dividend or distribution credited to or
reinvested for, the account of such customer during the month; the
date of such transaction; the identity, number, and price of any
securities purchased or redeemed by such customer in each such
transaction; the total number of shares of such securities in such
customer's account; any remuneration received or to be received by
the broker or dealer in connection therewith; and that any other
information required by [Rule 10b-10(a)] will be furnished upon
written request: Provided, however, that the written statement may
be delivered to some other person designated by the customer for
distribution to the customer. 17 CFR 240.10b-10(b)(2). Exchange Act
Rule 10b-10(b)(3) requires the customer to be provided with prior
notification in writing disclosing the intention to send the written
information referred to in Rule 10b-10(b)(1) in lieu of an immediate
confirmation. 17 CFR 240.10b-10(b)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given that share prices of institutional prime money market funds
likely will fluctuate under the Commission's amendments to Investment
Company Act Rule 2a-7,\11\ absent an exemption, broker-dealers would
not be able to continue to rely on the exception under Exchange Act
Rule 10b-10(b) for transactions in money market funds operating in
accordance with Rule 2a-7(c)(1)(ii).\12\ Instead, broker-dealers would
be required to provide immediate confirmations for such transactions in
accordance with Rule 10b-10(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 270.2a-7.
    \12\ See generally Money Market Fund Reform; Amendments to Form
PF, Securities Act Release No. 9408, Investment Advisers Act Release
No. 3616, Investment Company Act Release No. 30551 (June 5, 2013),
78 FR 36834, 36934 (June 19, 2013); see also Exchange Act Rule 10b-
10(b)(1), 17 CFR 240.10b-10(b)(1) (limiting alternative monthly
reporting to money market funds that attempt to maintain a stable
NAV).
    As adopted, government and retail money market funds are exempt
from the Investment Company Act Rule 2a-7(c)(1)(ii) floating NAV
requirement, and therefore, will continue to maintain a stable NAV.
See Money Market Fund Reform Adopting Release, supra note 4, at
sections III.C.1 and III.C.2. Accordingly, for investor transactions
in the exempt funds, broker-dealers would continue to qualify for
the exception under Rule 10b-10 and be permitted to send monthly
transaction reports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To address the potential burdens created by such a requirement, the
Commission published the Notice proposing to exempt broker-dealers from
the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a) when effecting
transactions in money market funds operating in accordance with
Investment Company Act Rule 2a-7(c)(1)(ii), for or with the account of
a customer, where: (i) no sales load is deducted upon the purchase or
redemption of shares in the money market fund, (ii) the broker-dealer
complies with the provisions of Rule 10b-10(b)(2) and Rule 10b-10(b)(3)
that are applicable to money market funds that attempt to maintain a
stable NAV referenced in Rule 10b-10(b)(1),\13\ and (iii) the broker-
dealer has notified the customer of its ability to request delivery of
an immediate confirmation consistent with the written notification
requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-

10(a) and has not received such a request from the customer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The proposed conditions under ``(i)'' and ``(ii)'' are
consistent with the confirmation delivery requirements in Exchange
Act Rule 10b-10(b) for all transactions in investment company
securities that attempt to maintain a stable NAV where no sales load
or redemption fee is charged. 17 CFR 240.10b-10(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Comments on Proposal

    The Commission received two comments on the Notice, both expressing
general support for the proposal.\14\ However, both commenters
requested clarification regarding the third condition, which would
require a broker-dealer to notify its customer of the customer's
ability to request delivery of an immediate confirmation consistent
with the written notification requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-
10(a). Specifically, commenters questioned whether the notification may
be made on a one-time basis or whether it would need to be made on a
transaction-by-transaction basis.\15\ In response, the Commission is
clarifying that these notifications may be made on a one-time basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Dreyfus Letter; ICI Letter, supra note 5.
    \15\ Dreyfus Letter, at 1; ICI Letter, at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Discussion of the Exemption

    The Commission finds that it is necessary and appropriate in the
public interest, and consistent with the protection of investors to
allow broker-dealers, subject to certain conditions, to provide
transaction information to investors in any money market fund operating
pursuant to Rule 2a-7(c)(1)(ii) on a monthly basis in lieu of providing
immediate confirmations as required under Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a).
In making this finding, the Commission considered several factors, as
discussed more fully below as well as in the Notice.
    First, the attributes of institutional prime money market funds
mitigate the need for the protections intended by confirmation delivery
under Rule 10b-10(a).\16\ For example, institutional prime money market
funds will continue to be subject to the ``risk limiting'' provisions
of Rule 2a-7, including those provisions governing the credit quality,
liquidity, diversification, and maturity of fund investments.\17\ Under
those ``risk limiting'' provisions, mutual funds that hold themselves
out as money market funds--including institutional prime money market
funds--may acquire only investments that are short-term, high-quality,
dollar-denominated instruments.\18\ As a result, while the prices of
institutional prime money market funds likely will fluctuate, they are
not likely to exhibit regular day-to-day fluctuations, primarily due to
the high quality and short duration of these funds' underlying
portfolio securities.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Notice, 79 FR at 44077.
    \17\ Investment Company Act Rule 2a-7(d), 17 CFR 270.2a-7(d)
(risk-limiting conditions).
    \18\ Id.; see also Money Market Fund Reform Adopting Release, 79
FR at 47775.
    \19\ Money Market Fund Reform Adopting Release, 79 FR at 47779
n.491.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, customers that need daily pricing information may obtain it
through means other than confirmation statements.\20\ For example,
under the fund disclosure requirements of Investment Company Act Rule
2a-7(h)(10)(iii), customers--including institutional investors--will be
able to access an institutional prime money market fund's daily mark-
to-market NAV per share through the fund's Web site.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ Id., at section III.E.9.c; see also Notice, 79 FR at 44078.
    \21\ 17 CFR 270.2a-7(h)(10)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Third, absent an exemption, broker-dealers are likely to incur
significant costs associated with providing immediate, rather than
monthly, confirmations for transactions in shares of institutional
prime money market funds. Such costs, in turn, would likely be passed
along to investors.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ An analysis of the costs and benefits of providing
immediate trade confirmations requirements under Rule 10b-10 with
respect to institutional prime money market funds is discussed in
the Money Market Fund Reform Adopting Release. See Money Market Fund
Reform Adopting Release, 79 FR at 47785-86; Notice, 79 FR at 44077-
78.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, given that there likely will be some price fluctuations in
institutional prime money market funds, the Commission believes that it
is also necessary and appropriate in the public interest and consistent
with the protection of investors to condition the exemption on a
broker-dealer providing immediate confirmations upon a customer's
request. Accordingly, to be eligible for the exemption, a broker-dealer
must (1) provide an initial written notification to the customer of its
ability to request delivery of immediate confirmations consistent with
the written notification requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a),
and (2) not receive any such request from the customer.\23\ In
addition, consistent with conditions applicable to confirmation
delivery requirements provided in Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(b) for all
transactions in investment company securities that attempt to maintain
a stable NAV where no sales load or redemption fee is charged, the
Commission is imposing the conditions that no sales load is deducted
upon the purchase or redemption of shares in the institutional prime
money market fund, and that the broker-dealer complies with the
provisions of paragraphs (2) and (3) of Rule 10b-10(b) that are
applicable to money market funds that attempt to maintain a stable NAV
referenced in Rule 10b-10(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ This Order has been modified from the proposal to specify
that, to meet the notification condition, the broker-dealer must
provide an ``initial written notification to the customer of such
account.'' The condition was modified to clarify that the
notification may be made on a one-time basis for each applicable
account and not on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    In light of the above, and in accordance with Exchange Act Section
36 \24\ and Rule 10b-10(f),\25\ the Commission finds that conditionally
exempting broker-dealers from the requirements of Exchange Act Rule
10b-10(a) for transactions in institutional prime money market funds is
necessary and appropriate in the public interest, and consistent with
the protection of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm.
    \25\ 17 CFR 240.10b-10(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, it is hereby ordered, pursuant to Section 36 of the
Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(f), that broker-dealers shall
be exempt from the written notification requirements under Exchange Act
Rule 10b-10(a) when effecting transactions in money market funds
operating in accordance with Investment Company Act Rule 2a-
7(c)(1)(ii), for or with the account of a customer, where: (i) No sales
load is deducted upon the purchase or redemption of shares in the money
market fund, (ii) the broker-dealer complies with the provisions of
Rule 10b-10(b)(2) and Rule 10b-10(b)(3) that are applicable to money
market funds that attempt to maintain a stable NAV referenced in Rule
10b-10(b)(1), and (iii) the broker-dealer has provided an initial
written notification to the customer of such account of its ability to
request delivery of immediate confirmations consistent with the written
notification requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a) and has not
received such a request from the customer.

VI. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This Order contains ``collection of information requirements''
within the meaning of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (``PRA'').
The Commission has submitted the information to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for review in accordance with 44 U.S.C.
3507 and 5 CFR 1320.10. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a current valid control number. The title of this
collection is ``Money Market Fund Reform/Exchange Act Rule

10b-10.'' We are applying for a new OMB Control Number for this
collection in accordance with 44 U.S.C. 3507(j).

A. Summary of Collection of Information

    In addition to the conditions typically applicable under Rule 10b-
10(b),\26\ under the terms of this Order, to be exempt from the
immediate confirmation requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a) for
purposes of an institutional prime money market fund, a broker-dealer
must also (1) notify the customer of its ability to request delivery of
an immediate confirmation, consistent with the written notification
requirements of Rule 10b-10(a), and (2) not receive any such request
from the customer.\27\ The condition of notifying the customer of its
ability to request delivery of an immediate confirmation creates a
burden under the PRA, and must be satisfied by sending a notification
to a customer on a one-time basis for each applicable account.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ The Commission has previously estimated the PRA burdens
associated with providing immediate confirmations and/or monthly
statements to customers under Rule 10b-10 regarding securities
transactions, including money market funds. See Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request, 78 FR 39023 (June 28, 2013). That
submission, however, does not address the PRA burden associated with
the notification condition set forth in this Order.
    \27\ If the conditions of this Order are satisfied, broker-
dealers will be eligible to provide monthly statements for
transactions in institutional prime money market funds in lieu of
the immediate confirmation requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-
10(a)--as has historically been the case for money market funds
prior to the adoption of the money market fund reform amendments.
When requested by a customer, the broker-dealer would be required
under this Order to provide immediate confirmations in accordance
with Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Proposed Use of Information

    The notification condition in this Order will alert customers of
their ability to request immediate confirmations, consistent with the
terms of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a). The notification condition allows
customers to obtain immediate confirmations should they choose to
request them.

C. Respondents

    As stated in the Money Market Fund Reform Adopting Release, based
on FOCUS report data as of December 31, 2013, the Commission estimates
that there are approximately 320 broker-dealers that clear customer
transactions or carry customer funds and securities.\28\ In the Money
Market Fund Reform Adopting Release, the Commission also conservatively
estimated that those broker-dealers are the respondents that would
provide trade confirmations to customers in institutional prime money
market funds.\29\

D. Total Burden Estimates Relating to This Order

    The Commission estimates that the initial one-time burden required
to implement, modify, or reprogram existing systems to generate and
transmit the required notifications to customers would be 36 hours for
each of the 320 broker-dealers that clear customer transactions or
carry customer funds and securities.\30\ Thus, the Commission estimates
that the initial burden for issuance of the notifications in accordance
with this Order, including burdens to implement, modify, or reprogram
existing systems to generate such notifications will be approximately
11,520 burden hours.\31\ The Commission anticipates that after broker-
dealers incur the initial costs to establish systems to generate and
transmit the notifications to existing customers, broker-dealers will
be able to minimize any additional costs, such as by providing the
notifications as part of a new account application.\32\ As a result,
the Commission anticipates that any additional annual burdens arising
from the notification condition will be minimal,\33\ and conservatively
estimates that broker-dealers will, on average, incur annual costs of
5% of those initial costs, or 576 burden hours.\34\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ In the Money Market Fund Reform Adopting Release, the
Commission estimated that the initial one-time burden to implement,
modify, or reprogram existing systems to generate immediate
confirmations (rather than monthly statements) would be 355 burden
hours for each of the 320 broker-dealers that clear customer
transactions or carry customer funds and securities. Id. at 47785 &
n.562. Given the non-repeat nature of the notification requirement
and substantial savings in resources noted by commenters, the
Commission estimates that the burdens to develop system changes to
provide the notices to all applicable customers would be no more
than 10% of the prior 355 burden hours estimate associated with
requiring immediate confirmations.
    \31\ This estimate is based on the following: 36 hours x 320
firms = 11,520 hours.
    \32\ See, e.g., ICI Letter, supra note 5, at 2.
    \33\ As stated, supra note 26, other than the notification
condition set forth in this Order, the Commission has previously
estimated the additional burdens associated with providing immediate
confirmations and/or monthly statements under Rule 10b-10. See
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 78 FR 39023 (June 28,
2013).
    \34\ This estimate is based on the following: 11,520 hours x 5%
= 576 hours.

E. The Collection of Information Is Required To Obtain a Benefit

    The collection of information results from a condition of this
Order and will be required for a broker-dealer to be exempt from the
immediate confirmation requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10(a).

F. Confidentiality

    The notification would be provided by a broker-dealer directly to a
customer and thus would not be kept confidential.

G. Request for Comment

    Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), the Commission solicits
comment to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the
proper performance of our functions, including whether the information
shall have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
    3. Determine whether there are ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
    4. Evaluate whether there are ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
    Persons submitting comments on the collection of information
requirements should direct them to the Office of Management and Budget,
Attention: Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC 20503, and
