SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model A318
and A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, A320-212, A320-214, A320-
216, A320-231, A320-232, and A320-233 airplanes; and Model A321-111,
A321-112, A321-131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231, and A321-
232 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 16,
2018 (83 FR 16251). The NPRM was prompted by reports of missing
assembly hardware on the THSA. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive
inspections and checks of the lower and upper THSA attachments and
applicable related investigative and corrective actions; a one-time
inspection of the THSA lower attachment and replacement as applicable;
and, for certain airplanes, activation of the ELSD and concurrent
modifications.
    We are issuing this AD to address uncontrolled movement of the
horizontal stabilizer as a result of the latent (undetected) failure of
the THSA's primary load path and consequent loss of control of the
airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2017-0237, dated December 4, 2017 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model
A318 and A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, A320-212, A320-214,
A320-216, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233 airplanes; and Model A321-111,
A321-112, A321-131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231, and A321-
232 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer Actuator (THSA) of Airbus
A320 Family aeroplanes has been rig-tested to check secondary load
path behaviour in case of primary load path failure. In that
configuration, the loads are transferred to the secondary load path,
which should jam, preventing any Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer
motion. The test results showed that the secondary load path did not
jam as expected, preventing detection of the primary load path
failure. To verify the integrity of the THSA primary load path and
the correct installation of the THSA, Airbus issued Service Bulletin
(SB) A320-27-1164, later revised multiple times, and SB A320-
27A1179, and EASA issued AD 2006-0223 [which corresponds to FAA AD
2007-06-02, Amendment 39-14983 (72 FR 12072, March 15, 2007) (``AD
2007-06-02'')], AD 2007-0178 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2008-09-
16, Amendment 39-15497 (73 FR 24160, May 2, 2008)(``AD 2008-09-
16'')], AD 2008-0150, and AD 2014-0147, each AD superseding the
previous one, requiring one-time and repetitive inspections.
    Since EASA AD 2014-0147 was issued, Airbus designed a new
device, called Electrical Load Sensing Device (ELSD), to introduce a
new means of THSA upper secondary load path engagement detection.
Consequently, Airbus issued several SBs (Airbus SB A320-27-1245,
A320-27-1246, and A320-27-1247, depending on aeroplane
configuration) providing instructions to install the wiring
provision for ELSD installation and to install ELSD on the THSA, and
SB A320-27-1248, providing instructions to activate the ELSD. Airbus
also revised SB A320-27-1164, now at Revision 13, including
instructions applicable for aircraft equipped with ELSD.
    Furthermore, following a visual inspection of the THSA, an
operator reported that the THSA was found with a bush missing,
inducing torqueing of the THSA lower attachment primary bolt against
the THSA lug, which resulted in the application of a transverse
force on the lug.
    Prompted by several other identical findings, Airbus released
Alert Operator Transmission (AOT) A27N010-17 to provide instructions
for inspection and associated corrective actions.
    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2014-0147, which is superseded, and requires
installation of ELSD on the THSA, ELSD activation, and a one-time
inspection to verify the bush presence on the THSA lower attachment.

    The unsafe condition is uncontrolled movement of the horizontal
stabilizer as a result of the latent (undetected) failure of the THSA's
primary load path and consequent loss of control of the airplane.
    The required actions include repetitive inspections and checks of
the lower and upper THSA attachments and applicable related
investigative and corrective actions; a one-time inspection of the THSA
lower attachment and replacement as applicable; and, for certain
airplanes, activation of the ELSD and concurrent modifications.
    Related investigative actions include an inspection of the upper
THSA attachment, an inspection of the lower attachment, and a check of
the upper and lower clearance between the secondary nut trunnion and
the junction plate. Corrective actions include replacement of the THSA
and repair.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0298.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International, stated its support
for the NPRM. United Airlines stated that it has no objection to the
NPRM.

Request To Allow Future Revisions of Service Information

    Delta Air Lines (DAL) requested that the proposed AD allow
operators the opportunity to utilize the latest data and instructions
available without the need to request an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC). DAL proposed that after each reference made to
service information in paragraphs (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (m)(1), and
(m)(2) of the proposed AD, the following statement is included:

Or using a method approved by the Manager, International Section,
Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA); or Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).

    DAL noted that the service information has been revised multiple
times or has been revised within a short period of time. DAL observed
that the statement quoted above is based on language used in paragraph
(g) of AD 2018-03-12, Amendment 39-19185 (83 FR 5906, February 12,
2018) (``AD 2018-03-12''), and should be considered as standard wording
for future ADs, as applicable.
    We disagree with the commenter's request. We infer that the
commenter is requesting a way for operators to comply with the
requirements of an AD by using service information revisions that are
issued after an AD is published without having to request an AMOC. We
may not refer to any document that does not yet exist. In general
terms, we are required by Office of the Federal Register (OFR)
regulations for approval of materials ``incorporated by reference,'' as
specified in 1 CFR 51.1(f), to either publish the service document
contents as part of the actual AD language; or submit the service
document to the OFR for approval as ``referenced'' material, in which
case we may only refer to such material in the text of an AD. The AD
may refer to the service document only if the OFR approved it for
``incorporation by reference.'' See 1 CFR part 51. To allow operators
to use later revisions of the referenced document (issued after
publication of the AD), either we must revise the AD to reference
specific later revisions, or operators must request approval to use
later revisions as an AMOC with this AD. However, we may consider
approving global AMOCs to allow operators to use future revisions of
the service information. We reserve the use of the wording requested by
the commenter for situations where no service information is available
or a service document, such as an aircraft maintenance manual, cannot
be incorporated by reference in an AD. Therefore, we have not changed
this AD in this regard.

Request To Specify Required Paragraphs in Airbus Alert Operators
Transmission

    DAL requested that paragraph (k) of the proposed AD specify only
paragraphs 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 of Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT)
A27N010-17, Revision 01, dated October 17, 2017, including AOT
Appendix_A27N010-17, because, as a whole, the service information
contains data that are unrelated to the inspection process. Paragraphs
4.2.2 and 4.2.3 of the service information provide the inspection
activities and corrective actions.
    We agree with the commenter that the primary instructions for
inspection and corrective actions are contained in paragraphs 4.2.2 and
4.2.3 of Airbus AOT A27N010-17, Revision 01, dated October 17, 2017,
including AOT Appendix_A27N010-17. We have revised paragraph (k) of
this AD to require only paragraphs 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 of Airbus AOT
A27N010-17, Revision 01, dated October 17, 2017, including AOT
Appendix_A27N010-17. Note that there is relevant information outside of
those two paragraphs, such as references to part numbers, aircraft
maintenance manual procedures, and an appendix. Procedures outside of
paragraphs 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 can be deviated from, using accepted methods
provided in an operator's maintenance or inspection program, provided
the required AD actions can be done and the airplane can be put back in
service in an airworthy condition.

Request To Modify Language Regarding Contacting the Manufacturer

    DAL noted that paragraph (o) of the proposed AD provides exceptions
to two Airbus service information documents--Airbus Service Bulletin
A320-27-1164, Revision 13, dated August 8, 2016; and Airbus AOT
A27N010-17, Revision 01, dated October 17, 2017, including AOT
Appendix_A27N010-17, with respect to contacting the manufacturer. DAL
proposed that this paragraph be rewritten to state:

    Any approved method which specifies to contact the manufacturer:
Before further flight, accomplish the corrective actions in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (v)(2) of this
AD.

    We acknowledge the commenter's request to clarify paragraph (o) of
this AD. When specifying exceptions to required service information, we
are unable to generalize the required documents by stating ``any
approved method,'' as requested by the commenter. We must identify the
specific service information. Therefore, we have not changed this AD in
this regard.

Request for Clarification of Service Information Instructions

    DAL observed that Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1245, Revision
00, dated March 6, 2017, indicates multiple configurations for certain
aircraft. As an example, DAL pointed out that aircraft manufacturer
serial number (MSN) 118 is shown as both configuration 078 and
configuration 082. DAL stated the service information does not provide
clear guidance on determining if both or only one set of material/
instructions is applicable. DAL requested that the service bulletin be
revised to clarify the intent of the multiple configurations and how to
address them.
    We disagree with the commenter's request to revise the service
information; however, we agree to clarify. The referenced service
information is adequate because different aircraft configurations can
be determined based on the type of placard installed. Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-27-1245, Revision 00, dated March 6, 2017, provides
airplane configuration definitions in paragraph 1.A.(5),
``Configuration Definition,'' of the ``Planning Information'' section.
According to the configuration definition, configuration 078 has
placard 33LM PN D11311117A00 installed and configuration 082 has
placard 33LM PN 002051-09 installed. Once the placard installation is
determined, an operator can follow the instructions based on each
respective configuration. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Request for One Comprehensive AD To Address THSA System

    DAL noted that the Model A319, A320, and A321 THSA system has had a
continually complicated maintenance and regulatory history. The THSA
system has been subject to numerous ADs throughout the years that
address numerous individual shortcomings. The

proposed AD encompasses several different aspects (inspections and
alterations), yet there are still other regulatory actions such as the
replacement of No-Back Brake components or overhaul restrictions, which
complicate the operators' maintenance activities. DAL requested that
future regulatory actions related to the system be reviewed with a goal
of providing a singular, coordinated over-arching regulatory and
maintenance requirement.
    We agree that there have been several ADs issued on the THSA system
addressed in this AD, and we acknowledge the commenter's concerns. We
understand that the EASA and the airplane manufacturer are making an
effort to combine as many THSA issues as possible into a single
rulemaking action to simplify the THSA requirements. In response to
their efforts, we may consider additional rulemaking in the future to
simplify the THSA requirements. However, at this time, we are issuing
this final rule AD to address the specified unsafe condition. No change
has been made to this AD in this regard.

Request To Refer to Revised Service Information

    Airbus noted that two of the service bulletins referred to in the
NPRM were revised and requested that the revised service bulletins be
referred to in the final rule. The current revision levels are Airbus
Service Bulletin A320-27-1164, Revision 14, dated January 16, 2018; and
Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 01, dated April 16,
2018.
    We agree with the commenter's request. In the NPRM we referred to
Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1164, Revision 13, dated August 8,
2016; and Service Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 00, dated March 6,
2017. Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1164, Revision 14, dated January
16, 2018, includes clarifications regarding reporting inspection
results but does not change the proposed reporting requirements of the
NPRM and otherwise adds no substantive changes compared with the
previous version. Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 01,
dated April 16, 2018, clarifies the instructions, but adds no
substantive changes compared with the previous version. We have
therefore revised the ``Related Service Information under 1 CFR part
51'' paragraph in this final rule to refer to Airbus Service Bulletin
A320-27-1164, Revision 14, dated January 16, 2018; and Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 01, dated April 16, 2018. We have also
revised paragraphs (g), (h), (i), (j), and (o)(1) of this AD to refer
to Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1164, Revision 14, dated January 16,
2018. In addition, we revised paragraph (m) of this AD to refer to
Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 01, dated April 16,
2018.
    Furthermore, we revised paragraph (s), ``Credit for Previous
Actions,'' of this AD to include Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1164,
Revision 13, dated August 8, 2016; and Service Bulletin A320-27-1248,
Revision 00, dated March 6, 2017. Specifically, we revised paragraph
(s)(1) to provide credit for actions done before the effective date of
this AD using Airbus Service Bulletin A320-27-1164, Revision 10, dated
March 27, 2014; Revision 11, dated December 15, 2014; Revision 12,
dated March 23, 2016; or Revision 13, dated August 8, 2016. We also
added paragraph (s)(3) to this AD to provide credit for actions
required by paragraph (m)(1) of this AD, if those actions were
performed before the effective date of this AD using Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 00, dated March 6, 2017. We
redesignated subsequent paragraphs of this AD accordingly.

Request To Supersede Affected ADs

    Airbus requested that the FAA consider aligning with EASA's
decision of superseding affected ADs instead of keeping the obsolete
ADs active. We infer that Airbus is requesting that we supersede AD
2007-06-02 and AD 2008-09-16 instead of issuing this stand-alone AD
that terminates the requirements of AD 2007-06-02 and AD 2008-09-16.
    We acknowledge the commenter's request. Although paragraph (u) of
this AD states ``Accomplishing the initial actions required by
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD, and accomplishing the applicable
actions required by paragraphs (i) and (j) of this AD, terminates all
requirements of AD 2007-06-02 and AD 2008-09-16,'' it does not
supersede those ADs. The purpose of issuing stand-alone AD actions is
to reduce the complexity involved with superseding certain ADs. After
certain compliance times in this AD have passed, we may consider
rescinding AD 2007-06-02 and AD 2008-09-16 since they are terminated by
certain actions in this AD. In addition, if we converted this AD to a
supersedure, we would need to issue another notice for public comment,
which would further delay issuance of this final rule. Therefore, we
have not changed this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and 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.

    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A27N010-17,
Revision 01, dated October 17, 2017, including AOT Appendix_A27N010-17.
This service information describes the procedure for a one-time general
visual inspection of the THSA lower attachment to measure the gap
between the THSA lower attachment tab washer and attachment plates and
replacement of the THSA lower attachment if the measured gap is less
than 0.5 mm. The replacement includes doing an inspection of the THSA
parts to confirm the bushing is missing and applicable corrective
actions (i.e., repair).
    Airbus has also issued Service Bulletin A320-27-1164, Revision 14,
dated January 16, 2018. This service information describes procedures
for a general visual inspection of the upper THSA attachment for
correct installation, cracks, damage and metallic particles; a general
visual inspection of the lower and upper THSA attachments for correct
installation; a check of the clearance between secondary nut trunnions
and junction plates and correct installation of the lower THSA
attachment; a general visual inspection of the THSA ball screw to check
for the absence of dents; and applicable related investigative and
corrective actions.
    In addition, Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-27-1245,
Revision 00, dated March 6, 2017. This service information describes
the procedure to modify the wiring provisions for the ELSD.
    Airbus has also issued Service Bulletin A320-27-1246, Revision 01,
dated November 4, 2016. This service information describes the
procedures to adapt the wiring provision of the ELSD

and THSA to accommodate the correct installation of the ELSD.
    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-27-1247, Revision 00, dated
March 6, 2017. This service information describes the procedure to
modify the upper attachment secondary load path of the THSA to
accommodate the correct installation of the ELSD.
    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-27-1248, Revision 01, dated
April 16, 2018. This service information describes the procedure to
activate the ELSD.
    UTAS has issued United Technologies Corporation (UTC) Aerospace
Systems Repair Instructions RF-DSC-1361-17, Version 00, including
Appendix A, dated May 24, 2017. This service information describes the
repair instructions to follow if the bushing is missing, as specified
in AOT A27N010-17, Revision 01, dated October 17, 2017.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,180 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this 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.
    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 transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    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 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.

Adoption of the Amendment

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

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on June 24, 2010, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Schedule of Fees and Charges for
Exchange Services (the ``Schedule''). While changes to the Schedule
pursuant to this proposal will be effective upon filing, the changes
will become operative on July 1, 2010. The amended section of the
Schedule is included as Exhibit 5 hereto. A copy of this filing is
available on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.nyse.com, at the
Exchange's principal office and at the Commission's Public Reference
Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    Effective July 1, 2010, NYSE Arca proposes to set volume
requirements for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 based on average U.S.
consolidated daily volumes. Volume requirements to reach the tiered
pricing levels will adjust each calendar month based on U.S. average
daily consolidated share volume in Tape A, Tape B, Tape C securities
(``U.S. ADV'') for that given month. U.S. ADV is equal to the volume
reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to the
Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') Plan for Tapes A, B and C [sic]
securities.
    Tier 1: Currently, Tier 1 pricing is applied to customers with an
average daily volume in shares per month of greater than 55 million
shares that add liquidity in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C securities
combined. Starting July 1, the monthly requirement will be based on
U.S. ADV for that given month as follows:

--When U.S. ADV is 8 billion shares or less, the requirement for adding
liquidity will be 50 million shares average daily volume in Tape A,
Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 8 billion up to 10 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 55 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 10 billion up to 11 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 65 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 11 billion up to 12 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 75 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 12 billion up to 13 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 85 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 13 billion shares, the requirement for
adding liquidity will [sic] 95 million shares average daily volume in
Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

    Tier 2: Currently, Tier 2 pricing is applied to customers with an
average daily volume in shares per month of greater than 25 million
shares that add liquidity in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C securities
combined. Starting July 1, the monthly requirement will be based on
U.S. ADV for that given month as follows:

--When U.S. ADV is 8 billion shares or less, the requirement for adding
liquidity will be 20 million shares average daily volume in Tape A,
Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 8 billion up to 10 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 25 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 10 billion up to 11 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 30 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 11 billion up to 12 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 35 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 12 billion up to 13 billion shares, the
requirement for adding liquidity will [sic] 40 million shares average
daily volume in Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.
--When U.S. ADV is greater than 13 billion shares, the requirement for
adding liquidity will [sic] 45 million shares average daily volume in
Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C combined.

    Transactions that are not reported to the Consolidated Tape, such
as odd-lots and Crossing Session 2 transactions, are not included in
U.S. ADV. The Exchange will make this data publically [sic] available
on a T + 1 basis from a link at http://www.nyxdata.com.
    The Exchange believes the proposed changes to the tiers are
equitable in that

they apply uniformly to all ETP Holders. The proposed changes will
become operative on July 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\4\ in general, and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its
members and other persons using its facilities. The proposed changes to
the Schedule are reasonable and equitable in that they apply uniformly

 IDENTIFICATION OF INFORMATION COLLECTION

 1(a) Title of the Information Collection

Title: Pollution Prevention Awards Program

ICR Number: EPA ICR No.: 2614.01; OMB Control No.: 2008-0004

Docket ID Number: EPA-R08-OPPT-2020-0013

 1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Pollution Prevention (P2) program is a voluntary program that encourages companies to adopt P2 projects that reduce both financial costs (e.g. waste management and cleanup) and environmental costs (e.g. health problems and environmental damage). In passing the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) in 1990, Congress found that "(T)here are significant opportunities for industry to reduce or prevent pollution at the source through cost-effective changes in production, operation, and raw materials use. Such changes offer industry substantial savings in reduced raw material, pollution control, and liability costs as well as help protect the environment and reduce risks to worker health and safety." 42 U.S.C. § 13101(a)(2). EPA's P2 program is largely carried out through a competitive grant process and the provision of technical assistance to businesses. P2 is any practice that reduces environmental releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants prior to entering a waste stream for recycling, treatment, or disposal. In other words, P2 is source reduction, the prevention of waste generation and environmental releases at the source. It is not treatment, minimization, or diversion of wastes. P2 conserves natural resources, including water and energy.

Furthermore, the PPA states the Administrator shall "establish an annual awards program to recognize a company or companies which operate outstanding or innovative source reduction programs" 42 U.S.C. § 13103(b)(13). The EPA P2 Awards Program is an annual, voluntary, and non-monetary awards program that recognizes companies who demonstrate leadership in innovative P2 practices and encourage other entities to consider P2 approaches. This ICR is applicable to awards administered under the P2 Awards Program in EPA's Headquarters office and any of the 10 Regional Offices that choose to participate and implement a P2 Awards Program.

A company's decision to participate in the EPA P2 Awards Program is voluntary. Participation in the program begins with the completion and submittal of a no-cost application, which outlines a project(s) that has been implemented and meets the goals of the P2 program. Companies who want to be recognized for an award will need to complete an application describing their P2 efforts, activities, cost savings, pounds of hazardous chemicals reduced, energy conserved, or gallons of water saved, and the replicability of their approach. In addition, the application will ask for specific information about their company, such as business size and location. Applications will be collected via an online submission webpage. Application questions will be a combination of drop-down options as well as narrative descriptions. All application submissions, scoring rubric, scoring, and decision memos will be archived and stored in accordance with all applicable records schedules. EPA P2 Coordinators will use this information in the overall evaluation, selection, and scoring process for selecting awardees.

There will not be a monetary cost for companies to apply to the EPA P2 Awards Program. EPA anticipates it will take applicants an average of less than 11 hours to complete, review, finalize, approve, and apply.

 NEED FOR COLLECTION AND HOW INFORMATION WILL BE USED

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

Congress formally authorizes the P2 program in 42 U.S.C. §§13101-13109. This law may be cited as the ``Pollution Prevention Act of 1990'' and with abbreviated citation to "PPA" and the relevant section number.

The PPA states the Administrator shall "establish an annual award program to recognize a company or companies which operate outstanding or innovative source reduction programs" (PPA 42 USC § 13103 (b)(13)).

The 1993 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) (PL 103-62) requires federal agencies to develop plans for what they intend to accomplish, measure how well they are doing, make appropriate decisions based on the information they have gathered, and communicate information about their performance to Congress and to the public. In response, EPA develops a five-year Strategic Plan that is submitted to Congress.
Awards made under this announcement will support EPA's FY 2022- 2026 Strategic Plan (https://www.epa.gov/planandbudget/strategicplan), under Goal 7: Ensure Safety of Chemicals for People and the Environment; Objective 7.2: Promote Pollution Prevention.  The P2 program is a key element of EPA's strategic planning efforts.

As part of these strategic planning efforts, EPA encourages programs to develop meaningful performance measures, set ambitious targets, and link budget expenditures to results. Data collected under this ICR is required by EPA in order to meet its strategic goals and to establish an award program to recognize a company's or companies' P2 accomplishments. Participation in the awards program is voluntary.

2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The information collected by the EPA P2 Awards Program is not designed or intended to support regulatory decision-making by other EPA offices. Companies will apply voluntarily. EPA will use information from the awards application to select and recognize companies who have implemented outstanding P2 practices.

 NON-DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

3(a) Non duplication

The information to be obtained under this ICR has not been collected by EPA or any other federal agency. EPA's P2 program anticipates implementing the award program upon approval of this ICR application. Other, non-federal partner organizations promote P2 through awards and recognition programs, but these programs are, for the most part, state-based and not offered at the regional or national level. Almost all information requested from respondents under this ICR is not available from other sources.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR submission to OMB

Public comments were requested via the Federal Register on June 11, 2020 through August 10, 2020 during a 60-day comment period (85 FR 35652).

3(c) Consultations
EPA P2 Coordinators asked previous P2 Award applicants to provide input on the EPA P2 Awards application collection efforts for this renewal package. The following partners provided input:

P2 Award applicants provided feedback on the amount of time needed to respond to the application form. EPA incorporated feedback on the time needed to complete the form in the burden estimate. Some companies provided comments on the current application stating, "the application is perfect; I really love highlighting the unintended benefits. I think highlighting that in the recognition is inspiring to discuss." One company recommended not reducing the character limit because you may lose an understanding of the breadth of some companies work. They recommend a compromise of the 500 character limit for most of the questions, adjusting the project description limit to 750 characters, and keeping the measurable results section at 1000 characters. Another respondent suggested having a place for them to say if they were assisted by an external agency with implementation of the P2 project.

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

The P2 Awards application is a one-time information submittal for companies that wish to be recognized by the annual EPA P2 Awards Program for P2 activities from the previous three years. Less frequent collection of this data is not feasible because it is an annual award program. Companies may wish to submit applications in multiple years, which is voluntary.

3(e) General Guidelines

All collection activities described within this ICR will adhere to OMB's General Guidelines and regulations under 5 C.F.R. § 1320.5.

3(f) Confidentiality

EPA will not require and does not expect that companies will submit confidential information in the application. However, if the applicant asserts a company's confidentiality claim for certain information provided in the application, EPA will manage that information in accordance with EPA confidentiality regulations at 40 C.F.R. § 2.201 et seq. The P2 program will use confidential company information provided by businesses solely for purposes related to forming partnerships and will disclose the information only to EPA employees and EPA contractors cleared for confidential information with a specific need to know.

3(g) Sensitive Questions

No questions of a sensitive nature concerning sexual behavior or attitudes, religious beliefs, or other matters usually considered private are asked in the EPA P2 Awards Program application.

 RESPONDENTS AND INFORMATION REQUESTED

4(a) Respondents/NAICS Codes

Respondents are various types of companies from all North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes that are located in a state in an EPA Region implementing this Awards Program. Applicant activity includes applying for an award, working with the respective EPA P2 Coordinator (if selected) to discuss awards presentation logistics, attending the awards presentation, and approving writeups, press releases, and presentations. If the applicant chooses, a representative can present on a webinar to inform other businesses of the benefits of implementing P2 projects and practices.

4(b) Information Requested

 Data items, including record keeping requirements

Each award applicant will answer the following short answer questions. Each question has a 1000-word limit and weighted value. The weights will be an important factor when scoring and ranking the applications. Each participating EPA Region will score their own applications and select winners. Therefore, only applicants within the same EPA Region are competing against each other, not against those from other Regions.  The questions below might be slightly edited over the next 3 years to improve and provide more clarity to applicants as the program continues to grow.

 Respondent Activities

This is a voluntary, non-monetary awards program. Applicant activities include reviewing program instructions and eligibility requirements, gaining approval from management to apply, collecting relevant information, completing the application and supplementary materials, and submitting the application. Applicants have the information and data readily available to answer the listed short answer questions. The amount of time and effort expended to apply depends on the specific circumstances of the company. EPA does not expect that applicants will expend significant time or resources reviewing instructions, collecting information and completing the application. Furthermore, the time, effort and resources necessary to respond to several questions in the application will be incurred by persons in the normal course of their activities, which is excluded from the "burden" calculation under the Paperwork Reduction Act, see 5 C.F.R. § 1320.3(b)(2).

 INFORMATION COLLECTED  -  AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

5(a) Agency Activities

EPA will engage in the following activities related to the awards application:

 Update the application to be submitted by companies, post Awards Program information to the P2 website and/or Regional P2 website and communicate the solicitation period and requirements for applying to internal and external parties.
 Create and maintain a tracking system to record each participant's application.
 Respond to questions pertaining to the application.
 Review all submissions and select awardees.
 Each region will have flexibility on type of award (plaque, certificate) and will purchase and present them to those selected.
 Each Region will have flexibility on when and where to present awards.
 Develop awardee summaries for P2 websites.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

In collecting and analyzing the information associated with this ICR, EPA will use electronic form software, telephones, and computers, including Microsoft Office products. Each application will be saved electronically in a Regionally designated tracking system to assure all applications are accounted for. All applications received by an EPA Region will be used in the Awards Program review process. EPA will ensure the reasonableness and completeness of collected information by reviewing each submittal.

EPA will offer all information collection instruments electronically with hard-copy versions available upon request. Electronic submissions do not have a significant impact on respondent or Agency burden. The additional burden of hard-copy submissions is minimal for the risk reduction.

To conserve resources, EPA will encourage and promote the use of electronic submissions via EPA's P2 website; however, hard copy submissions will be permitted upon request. The website will automatically email the applications to the respective Regional P2 Coordinator. Existing Regional Awards Programs have demonstrated the success of this website submission system.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

All data collected under this ICR is voluntarily reported. EPA expects that some of the companies will be small entities. EPA has designed its reporting materials to minimize respondent burden while obtaining sufficient and accurate information. EPA considered the less burdensome collection mechanism of evaluating case studies within EPA's P2 case study database, but this collection mechanism was not adopted for the following reasons: (1) EPA's database of case studies is not inclusive of all P2 projects carried out over the last 3 years that would be eligible for P2 Awards and (2) EPA's database of case studies largely only capture activities supported by the EPA Pollution Prevention and Source Reduction Assistance grant programs. Applicants to the P2 Awards Program are not required to have been supported by EPA's grant programs.

5(d) Collection Schedule

Businesses or organizations may voluntarily submit an application during the solicitation period. The solicitation period will be done on an annual basis and is open for approximately 2 months, once posted. The timing of open solicitation is dependent upon regional discretion but cannot be less than 40 business days.

 ESTIMATING COLLECTION BURDEN AND COST

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

For this renewal, EPA used input from existing EPA P2 award applicants to estimate the burden for respondents. Table 1 presents the annual burden hours and costs per respondent as well as the total burden hours and costs per Region during each of the three years covered under this ICR.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

EPA estimates receiving a total of 126 applications over the 3-year ICR period. 7 applications in 6 different regions as the program continues to grow.  Table 1 shows the aggregate annual respondent burden and costs for the information collection activities associated with the EPA P2 Awards Program.

 Estimating Respondent Labor Costs

The labor rates used to determine the estimated costs to respondents are consistent with the hourly wage rates published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on employment and earnings. Rates include the cost of overhead. EPA estimates an average respondent's hourly labor rate (e.g. hourly plus overhead) of $104.96 for managerial staff, $68.86 for technical staff, and $36.44 for clerical staff.

 Estimating Respondent Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

Companies who choose to participate in the awards program will be requested to submit materials electronically and retain materials in electronic format to conserve paper. For this reason, EPA does not estimate costs for copying and mailing. We estimate 6 regions will implement an award program during the 3-year ICR period and will calculate total amounts for the 6 regions.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Costs

EPA P2 Coordinators drew on past P2 Regional Award Applicants for this renewal to estimate staff burden estimates. Table 2 presents the annual burden hours and costs per respondent application as well as the total burden hours and costs per EPA Region during each of the three years covered under this ICR.

Table 2 shows the aggregate annual Agency burden and costs for the information collection activities associated with the EPA P2 Awards Program. The annual hourly burden is approximately 136 hours at a cost of $13,287 per EPA Region. The three-year, bottom-line Agency burden for the life of this ICR is approximately 2448 hours at a cost of $239,175 (6 regions over 3 years).

             Estimating Agency Labor Costs

The hourly labor rates used to determine the estimated costs to the Agency are based on the 2023 GS pay schedule for Washington D.C. locality pay available from the Office of Personnel Management. EPA estimates an average hourly labor cost of $135.28 for managerial staff and $91.60 for professional staff. The labor costs are based on the following GS levels and steps: GS Level 15 Step 5 for managerial rate and GS Level 13 Step 3 for professional rate. EPA multiplied hourly rates by the standard government overhead factor of 1.6.

6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

See Table 1 for burden calculations.

6(e) Bottom-Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The three-year, bottom-line respondent burden for the life of this ICR is outlined below.

TOTAL NO. OF RESPONDENTS:               126 (for 6 regions over 3 years)
TOTAL NO. OF RESPONSES:                 	126 (for 6 regions over 3 years)
TOTAL BURDEN HOURS:                          1,373 (for 6 regions over 3 years)
TOTAL COST TO RESPONDENTS:      	$97,895 (for 6 regions over 3 years)

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

Since the initial ICR was approved in 2021 we have a better estimate on how many applications will be received in each region, how many regions are interested in implementing regional award programs, and how long it takes respondents to fill out the application. When the initial ICR was written, the P2 program used estimations and also reached out to State recognition programs to assist us with calculating the burden. State recognition programs are more rigorous and time consuming, therefore our original burden was calculated higher than we anticipated the burden may be.  We originally estimated each region would receive approximately 10 applications each year and that 5 regions would implement award programs.  Over the last three years, we had an averge of around 6 applications per region and only 3-4 regions implemented award programs. For this ICR we are estimating 6 regions will implement award programs and we will receive an average of 7 applications per region. Additionally, we had a small universe of past P2 awardees that assisted us with calculating the actual total burden hours, which we did not have when we initially launched this program.  The overall burden estimate for this collection is 1,552 hours lower than the current ICR.

6(g) Burden Statement

 Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.  This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-R08-OPPT-2020-0013 online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to: EPA R8, 1595 Wynkoop St. Mail Code 8LCRD-CSES, Denver, CO 80202, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the P2 Regional Award Program in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.
