I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change consists of modifications to Addendum A
(Fee Structure) of Rules & Procedures (``Rules'') of NSCC in order to
implement a tiered pricing structure for the Settlement Processing for
Insurance (``STL'')[hairsp]\SM\ feature of NSCC's Insurance and
Retirement Processing Services (``I&RS''), as described below.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in the
Rules, available at http://www.dtcc.com/~/media/Files/Downloads/
legal/rules/nscc_rules.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the clearing agency 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 clearing agency has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The proposed rule change would adjust the fee schedule associated
with NSCC's I&RS.\6\ Specifically, NSCC proposes to implement a tiered
pricing structure for the STL feature.\7\ Currently, NSCC charges a
flat rate of $0.65 per transaction per side for the STL feature.\8\ The
proposed tiered structure would reduce the monthly fees for increased
STL volumes. Therefore, under the proposed tiered pricing structure, a
monthly transaction volume between 0-20,000 items would be charged a
fee of $0.65 per transaction, per side; a monthly transaction volume
between 20,001-30,000 items would be charged a fee of $0.35 per
transaction, per side; a monthly transaction volume between 30,001-
40,000 items would be charged a fee of $0.25 per transaction, per side;
and a monthly transaction volume over 40,000 items would be charged a
fee of $0.15 per transaction, per side. As with all I&RS products,
volume would be calculated on an aggregate basis among qualified
insurance carrier members or qualified distributor members, as
applicable.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ I&RS is a suite of non-guaranteed services that enables NSCC
members using I&RS to exchange information and settle payments with
respect to insurance products, retirement plans or programs, and
other benefit plans or programs. See Rule 57 (Insurance and
Retirement Processing Services), supra note 5.
    \7\ STL automates and centralizes the settlement of money/
funding activities between insurance companies and their
intermediaries, such as broker-dealers, banks, and insurance
agencies, that distribute participating insurance products. STL is a
service within the In Force Transaction suite of services within
I&RS. See Section 9 of Rule 57 (Insurance and Retirement Processing
Services), supra note 5.
    \8\ See Section IV(K)(3), TIER 4 of Addendum A of the Rules,
supra note 5.
    \9\ See note 6 to Section IV(K) of Addendum A of the Rules,
supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fee structure is intended to incentivize use of the
STL feature by discounting transaction fees for members that reach the
defined transaction tier volume thresholds. In addition, by basing the
fee on each member's utilization of the STL feature, the proposed rule
change would reduce STL fees to further align these fees with the costs
of providing the service because, as volumes increase the cost of
providing this service decreases.
    The proposed changes would take effect on January 1, 2017.
2. Statutory Basis
    Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act \10\ requires that NSCC's Rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its members. The proposed fee is equitably
allocated among members because it is based on each member's
utilization of the STL feature, as measured by their monthly STL
volume.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, NSCC believes that the proposed fee is reasonable
because it would enable NSCC to better align its revenue for STL with
the costs and expenses required for NSCC to provide this service to its
members, while also providing this service to members at a lower cost.
Specifically, as STL volumes increase, the costs of providing the STL
feature decreases. NSCC has determined that reducing the fees as
volumes increase would better align the revenue from STL to the cost of
providing this service to members.
    Therefore, NSCC believes the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 17A(b)(3)(D).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NSCC believes that the proposed rule change could have an impact on
competition because the proposed rule change would charge a lower fee
for higher STL volumes. NSCC believes, however, that any burden on
competition that would be created by the proposed rule change would be
necessary and appropriate in furtherance of the Act. Specifically, the
proposed rule change is necessary to better align the fees charged for
the STL feature with the costs and expenses required for NSCC to
provide this service to its members, because, as volumes increase the
cost of providing this service decreases. The proposed rule change is
appropriate because, as stated, the proposed fee would be equitably
allocated among members based on each member's utilization of the STL
feature, as measured by their monthly STL volume.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    NSCC has not received or solicited any written comments relating to
this proposal. NSCC will notify the Commission of any written comments
received by NSCC.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and subparagraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\13\ 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
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

RULE SUMMARY

Applicability  -  the purpose of the Article is to control fugitive dust from open areas/vacant lots, unpaved roads, unpaved lots and paved public roadways by requiring measures to prevent, reduce or mitigate fugitive dust emissions.

Exemptions
The standards and requirements of this Article shall not apply to:
 Legitimate vehicle test and development facilities and operations conducted by or for equipment manufacturers where dust is required to test and validate the design integrity, product quality and/or commercial acceptance.
 Sudden and unforeseeable emergency response activities that may disturb the soil conducted by any utility or government agency in order to prevent public injury or to restore critical utilities to functional status.
 Normal farm cultural practices.
 Dust generating operations subject to the standards and/or requirements described in Chapter 4, Article 3  -  Construction Sites  -  Fugitive Dust.
 The establishment of initial landscape without the use of mechanized equipment, conducting landscape maintenance without the use of mechanized equipment, and playing on or maintaining a field used for non-motorized sports; and shall not include grading, or trenching, performed to establish initial landscapes or to redesign existing landscapes.

Definitions
Applicable definitions are included to add clarity to the rule.

Standards
General  -  the owner and/or operator of open areas/vacant lots, unpaved lots, unpaved roads and paved public roadways must implement control measures to meet the visible emissions requirements, stabilization requirements and compliance determinations for each applicable category.  Failure to implement control measures as required by this rule shall be deemed a violation of this rule.

Open Areas/Vacant Lots:
          The owner and/or operator of open areas/vacant lots shall not cause, suffer, allow, or permit fugitive dust emissions which exceed twenty percent (20%) opacity.
          Upon evidence of trespass, an owner/operator shall install and maintain no trespassing signs and physical barriers such as curbs, fences, gates, posts, shrubs, trees, or other effective control measures.
          Owners and/or operators of open areas/vacant lots 1.0 acre (43,560 ft[2]) or larger and have a cumulative of 0.5 acre (21,780 ft[2]) or more disturbed surface area in addition to the general requirements shall implement an additional control measure listed in this section.
          Open area/vacant lots 1.0 acre (43,560 ft[2]) or larger and have a cumulative of 0.5 acre (21,780 ft[2]) or more disturbed area, shall sign up to receive the Pinal County dust control forecast within 30 calendar days following the initial discovery of the disturbed surface area.  In addition, the owner and/or operator shall ensure the open area/vacant lot is stabilized the day leading up to and the day that is forecast to be high risk for dust emissions.
          No person shall use blading, disking, plowing under or any other means to remove vegetation from any open area/vacant lots without implementing all the required control measures.
          A list of stabilization requirements compliance methods are included.

Unpaved Lots
          The owner and/or operator of an unpaved lot greater than 5,000 ft[2] shall not:
               Cause or allow visible fugitive dust emissions to exceed 20% opacity;
               Allow silt loading equal to or greater than 0.33 oz./ft[2] as determined by the referenced test method.  If silt loading is equal to or greater than 0.33 oz./ft[2], the owner and/or operator shall not allow the silt content to exceed 8%;
               In addition to the opacity and silt requirements, the owner and/or operator shall pave; or apply and maintain dust suppressants to maintain a stabilized surface; or apply and maintain surface gravel uniformly; or an alternative control measure approved by the Control Officer and EPA.
          Control measures shall be considered effectively implemented when the unpaved lot meets the visible emissions and stabilization requirements.

Unpaved Roads
          The owner and/or operator of unpaved roads with average daily trips (ADT) greater than 150 shall not:
 Cause or allow visible fugitive dust emissions to exceed 20% opacity;
 Allow silt loading equal to or greater than 0.33 oz./ft[2] as determined by the referenced test method.  If silt loading is equal to or greater than 0.33 oz./ft[2], the owner and/or operator shall not allow the silt content to exceed 6%;
 In addition to the opacity and silt requirements, the owner and/or operator shall pave; or apply and maintain dust suppressants other than water; or uniformly apply and maintain surface gravel.

          The control measures listed in A. are considered implemented when:
             One of the control measures is annually implemented on 15 miles per year of unpaved roads having ADT of 150 or more under the listed circumstances.
             For year 2019 and beyond, control measures applied on unpaved roads with less than 150 ADT can be used for compliance with this Section through use of the equivalency conversion table included in the rule.

Paved Public Roadway
          The owner and/or operator of the property from which trackout or erosion-cased deposition came from upon discovery of mud/dirt that extends 50 feet or more from the nearest unpaved surface exit onto the paved public roadway shall:
 Within 24 hours of discovery, remove the mud/dirt from roadway by:
 Manually sweeping and picking up; or
 Operating a rotary brush or broom accompanied or preceded by sufficient wetting to limit opacity to 20% or less; or
 Operating a PM10 efficient street sweeper; or
 Flushing with water, if curb and gutters are not present and the use of water will not result in adverse impacts or violate of any permit programs.
 If needed, restrict vehicles from traveling over mud/dirt until the material has been removed from the travel lanes of the paved public roadway.
 Remove mud/dirt in a manner that does not cause another source of fugitive dust.
 In the event unsafe travel conditions would result from restricting traffic, and removal of such material isn't possible within 72 hours due to a weekend or holiday condition, the provisions of section A.i. above can be extended upon notification to and approval by the Control Officer.
 Requirements the owner and/or operator of any existing paved public roadway shall comply with prior to, during and after work on unpaved road shoulder:
                Apply dust suppressant to total disturbed area in sufficient quantity and frequency to maintain a stabilized surface.
                Prevent trackout by using one of the control measures in A.i. above.

Recordkeeping
Any person subject to the requirements of this rule shall compile and retain records that provide evidence of control measure applications including the type of treatment or control measures, extent of coverage, and date applied.  Records and supporting documentation shall be provided within 48 hours of Control Officers verbal or written request.

Reporting Requirements
Any city, county, or state agency with primary responsibility for an existing paved public roadway and unpaved roads shall comply with the following:
 By January 30 of each year provide the Air District with a list of all unpaved road in its jurisdiction (i.e. length, ADT, unpaved road segments).
 By January 30 of each year submit to the Air District a list of unpaved roads which were paved the previous year including the total number of unpaved roads miles, ADTs and the respective segments.

Records Retention
All required recordkeeping and reporting records shall be retained for at least 2 years.

Violations
Failure of any person to comply with the applicable requirements of this rule shall constitute a violation.

       The opacity requirements shall not apply during:
           Wind conditions that cause fugitive dust to exceed the opacity requirements if all applicable control measures are implemented, applied and maintained, and all dust contributing disturbed area are stabilized.
           Emergency maintenance of flood control channels and water retention basins if at least 1 applicable control measure is applied, and maintained.

Emission Reductions
If the attainment controls do not produce the expected emissions reductions, the control measures in this rule will be implemented as expeditiously as practicable as a contingency to achieve the following additional reductions:

Open Areas/Vacant Lots:  1,727.9 TPY

Unpaved Lots: 143.3 TPY

Unpaved Roads: 1142.7 TPY

Paved Public Roadway:  7.6 TPY

A detailed explanation on how these reductions will be achieved can be found in Appendix D  -  Pinal County PM10 Nonattainment Area, 2018 Attainment Demonstration and Controlled Emissions Inventories, Air Quality Division, December 21, 2015  -  Final.

RULE EVALUATION
    Rule Stringency - CAA Sections 172(c)(1) and 189(a)(1)(C) require that moderate nonattainment area SIP revisions include emissions reductions from existing sources of PM10 emissions, as may be obtained through RACM and reasonably available control technology (RACT). RACM and RACT must be implemented as "expeditiously as practicable" and "shall provide for the attainment of the NAAQS." Additionally, if an area is classified as moderate, a State must implement RACM no later than four years after designation. However, RACM findings are generally made in context of an overall attainment demonstration.  Consequently, our stringency evaluation primarily reviews the State's comparison of these Pinal provisions with with analogous requirements in other areas. Specifically, the State provided a demonstration that the requirements in Article 1, West Pinal PM10 Moderate Nonattainment Area Fugitive Dust, are as stringent and in some areas more stringent than other Air Agency RACM measures (Appendix F  -  RACM analysis for the West Pinal County PM10 Nonattainment Area, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, Final December 21, 2015).

    Enforceability  -  CAA §110(a)(2)(A) requires that regulations submitted to EPA for SIP approval must be clear and legally enforceable.  The rule requirements for open areas/vacant lots, unpaved lots, unpaved roads and paved public roadways to suppress fugitive dust emissions contain definitions, recordkeeping, reporting, control requirements and other provisions that are sufficiently clear and enforceable.

    Anti-Backsliding - We propose to determine that our approval of the submitted rule would comply with CAA §110(l) because the West Pinal PM10 Moderate Nonattainment Area does not contain any control requirements for the control of fugitive dust emissions at open areas/vacant lots, unpaved lots, unpaved roads and paved public roadways, and our approval of Rule Chapter 4, Article 1 into the SIP only adds new SIP requirements and does not interfere with the on-going process for ensuring that requirements for RFP and attainment of the NAAQS are met.  Section 193 of the Act does not apply to our proposed action because this is a new rule to the SIP and does not modify any SIP-approved control requirement in effect before November 15, 1990, in a nonattainment area.

EPA ACTION
The submitted Rule Chapter 4, Article 1, West Pinal PM10 Moderate Nonattainment Area Fugitive Dust, strengthens the SIP by restricting emissions from fugitive dust.  The rule fulfils the relevant CAA §110 and part D requirements.  Therefore, EPA staff recommends approval of Chapter 4, Article 1.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2018-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1813]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On April 5, 2018, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained an erroneous
table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in
lieu of the information published at 83 FR 14651-14652. The table
provided here represents the proposed flood hazard determinations and
communities affected for York County, Nebraska and Incorporated Areas.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before August 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where
applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for each community
are 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.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1813, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email) [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed in the table below, in
accordance with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP may only be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the table below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard determinations shown on the Preliminary FIRM and
FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR
67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations will also be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
are made final.

Correction

    In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 83
FR 14651--14652 in the April 5, 2018, issue of the Federal Register,
FEMA published a table titled ``York County, Nebraska and Incorporated
Areas''. This table contained inaccurate information as to the
communities affected by the proposed flood hazard determinations
featured in the table.
    In this document, FEMA is publishing a table containing the
accurate information. The information provided below should be used in
lieu of that previously published.

Insurance.'')
