SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61498; File No. SR-ISE-2009-90]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to Changes to the
U.S. Exchange Holdings, Inc. Corporate Documents and International
Securities Exchange Trust Agreement

February 4, 2010.
    On November 9, 2009, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change relating to the U.S. Exchange
Holdings, Inc. (``U.S. Exchange Holdings'') Corporate Documents (as
defined below) and the ISE Trust Agreement (as defined below). The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on November 24, 2009.\3\ The Commission received no comment letters on
the proposed rule change. This order approves the proposed rule change.

2009), 74 FR 61398 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Background

    U.S. Exchange Holdings wholly owns ISE Holdings, Inc. (``ISE
Holdings''). ISE Holdings wholly owns ISE, as well as a 31.54% interest
in Direct Edge Holdings, LLC (``Direct Edge''). Direct Edge currently
owns and operates a facility of the Exchange.\4\ In addition, on May 7,
2009, Direct Edge's direct subsidiaries, EDGA Exchange, Inc. (``EDGA'')
and EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX''), each filed a Form 1 Application \5\
(as amended, the ``Form 1 Applications'') with the Commission, to own
and operate a registered national securities exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities and Exchange Act Release No. 59135 (December
22, 2008); 73 FR 79954 (December 30, 2008) (SR-ISE-2008-85)
(relating to a corporate transaction in which: (1) ISE Holdings
purchased an ownership interest in Direct Edge by contributing cash
and the marketplace then operated by ISE Stock Exchange, LLC for the
trading of U.S. cash equity securities; and (2) Direct Edge's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Maple Merger Sub LLC became the operator of
the marketplace as a facility of ISE.
    \5\ The Commission published the Form 1 Applications, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, on September 17, 2009. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 60651 (September 11, 2009), 74 FR 179 (File
No. 10-193 and 10-194).

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

    U.S. Exchange Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eurex
Frankfurt AG (Eurex Frankfurt). Eurex Frankfurt is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Eurex Z[uuml]rich AG (``Eurex Z[uuml]rich''), which in
turn is jointly owned by Deutsche B[ouml]rse AG (``Deutsche
B[ouml]rse'') and SIX Swiss Exchange (``SIX''). SIX is owned by SIX
Group (Eurex Frankfurt, Eurex Z[uuml]rich, Deutsche B[ouml]rse, SIX,
SIX Group, and U.S. Exchange Holdings, Inc. are collectively referred
to herein as the ``Upstream Owners'').
    In connection with the acquisition of ISE Holdings by the Upstream
Owners in December 2007,\6\ ISE Holdings, U.S. Exchange Holdings,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware trustee, and Sharon Brown-Hruska,
Robert Schwartz and Heinz Zimmermann, as trustees, entered into a Trust
Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2007 (the ``ISE Trust Agreement'').
As discussed in the Eurex Acquisition Order, the ISE Trust Agreement is
designed to enable the Exchange to operate in a manner that complies
with the federal securities laws, including the objectives and
requirements of Sections 6(b) and 19(g) of the Act,\7\ and to
facilitate the ability of the Exchange and the Commission to fulfill
their regulatory and oversight obligations under the Act.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56955 (December 13,
2007), 72 FR 71979 (December 19, 2007) (File No. SR-ISE-2007-101)

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

II. Description of the Proposal

    In the instant filing, the Exchange, on behalf of the U.S. Exchange
Holdings, proposed amendments to (i) the Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws of U.S. Exchange Holdings (the ``Corporate Documents''); and
(ii) the ISE Trust Agreement, to provide that the Regulatory Provisions
(as defined below) in the Corporate Documents and the ISE Trust
Agreement, which currently apply only to ISE, also shall apply to any
``Controlled National Securities Exchange,'' defined to any mean
national securities exchange, or facility thereof, that U.S. Exchange
Holdings may control, directly or indirectly.
    Specifically, and as more fully described in the Notice, the
Exchange proposed to replace certain references to ``ISE'' in the
Corporate Documents with the term ``each Controlled National Securities
Exchange.'' These references appear in the ownership and voting
limitations sections of the Corporate Documents, as well as other
miscellaneous sections, including, but not limited to, the
confidentiality section, the books and records section, the compliance
with laws section, the jurisdiction section, and the amendments section
(the ``Regulatory Provisions''). Similarly, the Exchange proposed to
amend certain provisions of the ISE Trust Agreement to replace certain
references to ``ISE'' that appear in Articles II through VIII of the
ISE Trust Agreement with references to ``each Controlled National
Securities Exchange.''

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\9\
In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(1) of the Act,\10\ which requires, among
other things, that a national securities exchange be so organized and
have the capacity to carry out the purposes of the Act, and the rules
and regulation thereunder, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \11\ in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b) \12\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4 \13\ thereunder
require a self-regulatory organization to file proposed rule changes
with the Commission. Although U.S. Exchange Holdings and the ISE Trust
are not self-regulatory organizations, the Corporate Documents and
certain provisions of the ISE Trust Agreement are rules of an exchange
if they are stated policies, practices, or interpretations (as defined
in Rule 19b- 4 under the Act) of the exchange, and must therefore be
filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(4) of the Act and
Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\14\ Accordingly, the Exchange filed the
Corporate Documents and the ISE Trust Agreement with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \14\ See Eurex Acquisition Order, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Corporate Documents currently include Regulatory Provisions
designed to maintain the independence of the regulatory functions of
the Exchange, the sole national securities exchange controlled,
directly or indirectly, by U.S. Exchange Holdings.\15\ However, the
Regulatory Provisions, by their terms, currently do not apply to
additional national securities exchanges that U.S. Exchange Holdings
might control, directly or indirectly, as a result of a subsequent
transaction. The Exchange notes that EDGA and EDGX have filed the Form
1 Applications with the Commission that, if approved, would result in
U.S. Exchange Holdings, indirectly controlling two additional national
securities exchanges.\16\ Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend
the Corporate Documents to apply the Regulatory Provisions to any
national securities exchange, or facility thereof, that U.S. Exchange
Holdings may control, directly or indirectly. The Commission believes
that the amended Corporate Documents are designed to assist any
national securities exchange, or facility thereof, that U.S. Exchange
Holdings may control, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling their self-
regulatory obligations and in administering and complying with the
requirements of the Act.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Eurex Acquisition Order, supra note 6.
    \16\ See Notice, supra note 3. Approval of this proposed rule
change in no way prejudges or determines what actions the Commission
may take with respect to the Form 1 Applications.
    \17\ See Eurex Acquisition Order, supra note 6, for an
additional discussion of specific provisions in the Corporate
Documents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ISE Trust Agreement contains provisions that are designed to
enable the Exchange to operate in a manner that complies with the
federal securities laws, and to facilitate the ability of the Exchange
and the Commission to fulfill their regulatory and oversight
obligations under the Act.\18\ These provisions, however, are limited
solely to the Exchange and not to any other national securities
exchange that ISE Holdings might control, directly or indirectly. The
Exchange proposes that the ISE Trust Agreement be amended and restated
to replace references to ISE with references to any national securities
exchange controlled, directly or indirectly, by ISE Holdings, or
facility thereof. The Commission believes that amending and restating
the ISE Trust Agreement to reference any national securities exchange,
or facility thereof, that ISE Holdings may control, directly or
indirectly, is designed to facilitate the ability of those national
securities exchanges to comply with the requirements of the Act.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ ISE Trust Agreement, Articles V, VI, and VIII.
    \19\ See Eurex Acquisition Order, supra note 6, for an
additional discussion of specific provisions in the ISE Trust
Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,
that the

proposed rule change (SR-ISE-2008-90), be, and it hereby is, approved.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\20\

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal

Biological Products: Reporting of Biological Product Deviations and
Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product Deviations
in Manufacturing; Forms FDA 3486 and 3486A

OMB Control Number 0910-0458--Extension

    Under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42
U.S.C. 262), all biological products, including human blood and blood
components, offered for sale in interstate commerce must be licensed
and meet standards, including those prescribed in the FDA regulations,
designed to ensure the continued safety, purity, and potency of such
products. In addition under section 361 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 264),
FDA may issue and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases between
the States or possessions or from foreign countries into the States or
possessions. Further, section 501 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 351) provides that drugs and
devices (including human blood and blood components) are adulterated if
they do not conform with current good manufacturing practice (CGMP)
assuring that they meet the requirements of the FD&C Act.
Establishments manufacturing biological products, including human blood
and blood components, must comply with the applicable CGMP regulations
(parts 211, 606, and 820 (21 CFR parts 211, 606, and 820)) and current
good tissue practice (CGTP) regulations (part 1271 (21 CFR part 1271))
as appropriate. FDA regards biological product deviation (BPD)
reporting and HCT/P deviation reporting to be an essential tool in its
directive to protect public health by establishing and maintaining
surveillance programs that provide timely and useful information.
    Section 600.14 (21 CFR 600.14), in brief, requires the manufacturer
who

holds the biological product license, for other than human blood and
blood components, and who had control over a distributed product when
the deviation occurred, to report to the Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research (CBER) or to the Center for Drugs Evaluation
and Research (CDER) as soon as possible but at a date not to exceed 45
calendar days after acquiring information reasonably suggesting that a
reportable event has occurred. Section 606.171, in brief, requires
licensed manufacturers of human blood and blood components, including
Source Plasma, unlicensed registered blood establishments, and
transfusion services, who had control over a distributed product when
the deviation occurred, to report to CBER as soon as possible but at a
date not to exceed 45 calendar days after acquiring information
reasonably suggesting that a reportable event has occurred. Similarly,
Sec.  1271.350(b), in brief, requires HCT/P establishments that
manufacture non-reproductive HCT/Ps described in Sec.  1271.10 to
investigate and report to CBER all HCT/P deviations relating to a
distributed HCT/P that relates to the core CGTP requirements, if the
deviation occurred in the establishment's facility or in a facility
that performed a manufacturing step for the establishment under
contract, agreement, or other arrangement. Form FDA 3486 is used to
submit BPD reports and HCT/P deviation reports.
    Respondents to this collection of information are: (1) Licensed
manufacturers of biological products other than human blood and blood
components, (2) licensed manufacturers of blood and blood components
including Source Plasma, (3) unlicensed registered blood
establishments, (4) transfusion services, and (5) establishments that
manufacture non-reproductive HCT/Ps regulated solely under section 361
of the PHS Act as described in Sec.  1271.10. The number of respondents
and total annual responses are based on the BPD reports and HCT/P
deviation reports FDA received in fiscal year 2015. The number of
licensed manufacturers and total annual responses under Sec.  600.14
include the estimates for BPD reports submitted to both CBER and CDER.
Based on the information from industry, the estimated average time to
complete a deviation report is 2 hours, which includes a minimal one-
time burden to create a user account for those reports submitted
electronically. The availability of the standardized report form, Form
FDA 3486, and the ability to submit this report electronically to CBER
(CDER does not currently accept electronic filings) further streamlines
the report submission process.
    CBER has developed a Web-based addendum to Form FDA 3486 (Form FDA
3486A) to provide additional information when a BPD report has been
reviewed by FDA and evaluated as a possible recall. The additional
information requested includes information not contained in the Form
FDA 3486 such as: (1) Distribution pattern; (2) method of consignee
notification; (3) consignee(s) of products for further manufacture; (4)
additional product information; (5) updated product disposition; and
(6) industry recall contacts. This information is requested by CBER
through email notification to the submitter of the BPD report. This
information is used by CBER for recall classification purposes. At this
time, Form FDA 3486A is being used only for those BPD reports submitted
under Sec.  606.171. CBER estimates that 5 percent of the total BPD
reports submitted to CBER under Sec.  606.171 would need additional
information submitted in Form FDA 3486A. CBER further estimates that it
would take between 10 to 20 minutes to complete Form FDA 3486A. For
calculation purposes, CBER is using 15 minutes.
    Activities such as investigating, changing standard operating
procedures or processes, and followup are currently required under
parts 211 (approved under OMB control number 0910-0139), part 606
(approved under OMB control number 0910-0116), part 820 (approved under
OMB control number 0910-0073), and part 1271 (approved under OMB
control number 0910-0543) and, therefore, are not included in the
burden calculation for the separate requirement of submitting a
deviation report to FDA.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Item IV below. NASDAQ has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    NASDAQ is amending Rule 7018 to make modifications to its pricing
schedule for execution of quotes/orders through the NASDAQ Market
Center of securities priced at $1 or more. Specifically, NASDAQ has
several liquidity provider rebate tiers focused on members that are
active in both the NASDAQ Stock Market and the NASDAQ Options Market.
Currently, a member that provides shares of liquidity in the NASDAQ
Market Center representing 0.9% or more of the total consolidated
volume reported to all consolidated transaction reporting plans by all
exchanges and trade reporting facilities during the month, and trades a
daily average of more than 300,000 contracts in the NASDAQ Options
Market during the month, is eligible to receive a rebate of $0.0015 per
share executed for its non-displayed quotes/orders and $0.00295 per
share executed for its displayed quotes/orders. NASDAQ is modifying the
tier requirements slightly to require liquidity in the NASDAQ Market
Center representing more than 1.0% of total consolidated volume, and an
average daily volume of more than 200,000 contracts in the NASDAQ
Options Market. Although NASDAQ is raising the requirement for
liquidity provision in the NASDAQ Market Center and lowering the
requirement for NASDAQ Options Market activity, it is NASDAQ's
expectation, based on observed trading patterns in the market, that the
change will make it easier for members to achieve the criteria for the
tier, and therefore will result in a price reduction.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\3\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\4\ in particular, in that it provides for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system
which NASDAQ operates or controls. All similarly situated members are
subject to the same fee structure, and access to NASDAQ is offered on
fair and non-discriminatory terms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ notes that its pricing tiers focused on members active in
both the NASDAQ Market Center and the NASDAQ Options Market are
responsive to the convergence of trading in which members
simultaneously trade different asset classes within a single strategy.
NASDAQ also notes that cash equities and options markets are linked,
with liquidity and trading patterns on one market affecting those on
the other. Accordingly, pricing incentives that encourage market
participant activity in both markets recognize that activity in the
options markets also supports price discovery and liquidity provision
in the NASDAQ Market Center. Moreover, NASDAQ believes that these
changes are reasonable because they will make it easier for members
active in both markets to qualify for an enhanced rebate, and are also
non-discriminatory and equitable. They are open to all members, but are
not the exclusive means by which members may qualify for the associated
rebate levels. Accordingly, members are not required to trade in the
NASDAQ Options Market in order to receive the applicable rebates.
    Finally, NASDAQ notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily favor competing venues
if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive. In such
an environment, NASDAQ must continually adjust its fees to remain
competitive with other exchanges and with alternative trading systems
that have been exempted from compliance with the statutory standards
applicable to exchanges. NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change
reflects this competitive environment because it will broaden the
conditions under which members may qualify for higher liquidity
provider rebates.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule change will result
in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance

of the purposes of the Act, as amended. Because the market for order
execution and routing is extremely competitive, members may readily opt
to disfavor NASDAQ's execution services if they believe that
alternatives offer them better value. For this reason and the reasons
discussed in connection with the statutory basis for the proposed rule
change, NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed changes will impair
the ability of members or competing order execution venues to maintain
their competitive standing in the financial markets.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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)(ii) of the Act.\5\ 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. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall
institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule should be
approved or disapproved.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2015-0131]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated September 22, 2015, Keolis Commuter Services (Keolis), contract
operator of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTX)
commuter rail system, has petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part
238, Passenger Equipment Safety Standards. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA-2015-0131.
    Keolis seeks a temporary waiver of compliance from the requirements
of 49 CFR 238.115(b)(2) regarding passenger car emergency lighting
until October 31, 2016. Keolis is seeking this temporary relief because
70 percent of its rolling stock fleet (233 of 332 coaches encompassing
series: 200, 300, 500, 600, 700, 1500, 1600, and 1700), ordered prior
to September 8, 2000, and placed into service prior to September 9,
2002, will not meet the emergency lighting requirement deadline of
December 31, 2015. Keolis justifies the need for this deadline because
of the delay in finding qualified vendors and adding the required labor
forces to successfully complete this installation. MBTX rolling stock
fleet was not in compliance with all applicable safety standards. The
extra time sought in this petition will allow Keolis to finish its
ongoing program (58 coaches have been upgraded to date) so that 70
percent of this rolling stock is in compliance.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following

    Communications received by February 8, 2016 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

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.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. 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). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 5, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables 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 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 also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information 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 also will be considered before 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 only may 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://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. 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.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-1090; Directorate Identifier 2013-SW-017-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model EC120B and EC130B4
helicopters. This proposed AD would require replacing parts of the
sliding door star support attachment assembly, depending on the outcome
of required inspections. This proposed AD is prompted by a report that
passengers in a Eurocopter helicopter were forced to exit through the
pilot door after landing because they could not open the sliding door
from the inside. The proposed actions are intended to prevent failure
of the sliding door star support attachment, which could inhibit
operation of a sliding door from inside, delaying the evacuation of
passengers during an emergency.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 3, 2014.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2013-0093, dated April 15, 2013,
and corrected on April 17, 2013. EASA issued AD No. 2013-0093 to
correct an unsafe condition for Eurocopter Model EC120B and EC130B4
helicopters after a case was reported where passengers could not open a
helicopter's sliding door after landing. An investigation revealed a
failure of the sliding door star axle support, EASA states.
    ``This condition, if not corrected, could delay the evacuation from
the helicopter in case of emergency, possibly resulting in injury to
the occupants,'' according to EASA. As a result, EASA AD No. 2013-0093
requires inspecting the upper and lower locking pin control rod end
fittings to determine if they are twisted or broken and replacing the
end fittings if they are twisted or broken. If the end fittings are not
twisted or broken, the EASA AD requires performing a dye penetrant
inspection of the star support pin and then reinforcing the sliding
door star support with carbon fabric plies soaked with adhesive.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
its AD. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known
relevant information and determined that an unsafe condition is likely
to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    Eurocopter issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. EC120-52A014 for
Model EC120B helicopters and ASB No. EC130-52A009 for Model EC130B4
helicopters, both Revision 1, and both dated January 25, 2013. The ASBs
report that the star support pin ruptured on the kinematics of the
sliding door locking system. The rupture prevents sliding doors from
operating, the ASBs report. The ASBs call for visual and dye penetrant
inspections of sections of the sliding door attachment assembly and
reinforcement of the sliding door star support.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require, within 165 hours time-in-service,
visually inspecting the upper and lower locking pin control rod end
fittings, and replacing the control end fitting before further flight
if it is bent, twisted, or broken. This proposed AD would also require
cleaning and dye penetrant inspecting the star support pin for a crack,
and replacing the star support pin before further flight if there is a
crack. Lastly, this proposed AD would require reinforcing the sliding
door star support stringer by installing three carbon fabric plies.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 284 helicopters of
U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 per work-hour. Based on
these estimates, we would expect the following costs:
     Visually inspecting the upper and lower locking pin
control rod end fittings would require 1 work-hour and a minimal amount
for consumable materials for a cost of $85 per helicopter, or $24,140
for the U.S. fleet.
     Replacing the upper and lower locking pin control rod end
fittings with airworthy fittings would require 5 work-hours for a labor
cost of $425. Parts would cost $242 for a cost of $667 per helicopter.
     Dye penetrant inspecting the star support pin for a crack
would require 2 work-hours and no parts for a cost of $170 per
helicopter.
     Replacing the star support pin would require 5 work-hours.
Parts would cost $200 for a total cost of $625 per helicopter.
     Installing three carbon fabric plies to reinforce the
sliding door star support would require 5 work-hours. Parts would cost
$200 for a total cost of $625 per helicopter.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it supports the removal of Class E airspace at Centerville, MD, due
to the closing of the Maryland State Police Trooper 6 Heliport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (82 FR 45747, October 2, 2017) for Docket No. FAA-
2017-0822 proposing to remove Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Maryland State Police Trooper 6 Heliport,
Centerville, MD, due to the closing of the heliport.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 removes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Maryland State Police Trooper 6 Heliport, Centerville,
MD, due to the closing of the heliport. The heliport has moved to a new
location. Therefore, the airspace is no longer necessary at this site.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OW-2004-0013; FRL 9149-01-OW]

Proposed Renewal Information Collection Request; Comment Request;
EPA Program Information on Source Water Protection

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit an information collection request (ICR) for EPA Program
Information on Source Water Protection (OMB Control No. 2040-0197) to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, EPA
is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed
information collection as described in this document. This is a
proposed extension of the existing ICR, which is approved through July
31, 2022. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 28, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2004-0013, online using https://www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), by email to the Office of Water (OW) Docket at [email protected] or by mail to the Water Docket, EPA Docket Center (WJC
West), MC 28221T, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanities, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sherri Comerford, Drinking Water
Protection Division--Prevention Branch, Office of Ground Water and
Drinking Water (MC 4606M), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone number: 202-564-
4639; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents that explain in detail
the information that EPA will be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at https://www.regulations.gov or in person at the Water Docket, EPA Docket
Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.
The telephone number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For
additional information about EPA's public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable the agency to evaluate
whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility; evaluate the accuracy of
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and minimize the burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. EPA will consider
the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR
package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that
time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB.
    Abstract: EPA is collecting data from the states on their
advancement toward substantial implementation of protection strategies
for all community water systems (CWSs). EPA and states use this
voluntary collection of data to track and understand the progress
toward increasing the percentage of CWSs (and the populations they
serve)

where risk is minimized through source water protection. Source water
protection data that states submit directly to the Source Water
Protection Information System (SDWIS) is accessible to the public via
EPA's website. Availability of this information, together with source
water and demographic indicators that are publicly available via EPA's
Drinking Water Mapping Application to Protect Source Waters (DWMAPS),
promotes equity by empowering communities to include these
considerations in their own analyses and outreach efforts.
    Form Notification: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: 51.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated annual burden: 288 hours. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $16,721 (per year).
    Changes in Estimates: EPA anticipates the annual totals for
estimated burden and costs at 288 hours and $16,721, respectively.
There is an expected decrease of hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared to what was identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB due to voluntary reporting that would decrease in
frequency from quarterly to annual reporting. State databases are fully
developed, and tracking is routine, which EPA believes will result in
efficiencies that would allow states to minimize hourly burden and
cost.
