SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-88408; File No. SR-NYSE-2020-16]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Section 902.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual To Waive Initial
Listing Fees and First Partial Year of Annual Listing Fees for NYSE
Bonds Securities That List in Conjunction With Voluntary Delisting From
a Regulated Foreign Exchange

March 18, 2020.
    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 March 5, 2020, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' 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.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Section 902.08 of the NYSE Listed
Company Manual (the ``Manual'') to waive initial listing fees and the
first partial year of annual fees in relation to bonds listed in
conjunction with their voluntary delisting from a regulated foreign
exchange. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and
at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Section 902.08 of the Manual to
waive initial listing fees and the first partial year of annual fees in
relation to NYSE Bonds Securities \4\ listed in conjunction with their
voluntary delisting \5\ from a

regulated foreign exchange. The proposed waiver is identical to a
waiver currently applied under Section 902.08 in connection with the
listing of NYSE Bonds Securities transferred from another national
securities exchange.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As defined in Section 902.08, NYSE Bonds Securities include
structured products listed under Section 703.19 and traded on NYSE
Bonds and all debt securities listed under Sections 102.03 and
103.05 (excluding non-listed debt of NYSE issuers and affiliate
companies and domestic listed debt of issuers exempt from
registration under the Act).
    \5\ A voluntary delisting for this purpose occurs where the
securities in question are not subject to delisting on the foreign
regulated exchange for any regulatory reason but are being delisted
solely by the choice of the issuer.
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 87832 (December 20,
2019); 84 FR 72047 (December 30, 2019) (SR-NYSE-2019-63).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In adopting this waiver in relation to NYSE Bonds Securities whose
listing was being transferred from another national securities
exchange, the Exchange noted that companies transferring in mid-year
would already have paid listing fees for that year to the exchange on
which they were previously listed and that the double payment the
Exchange's initial listing fee and prorated annual fee would impose on
them would impose a significant financial burden and act as a
disincentive to transferring. The Exchange also noted that the proposed
waivers were consistent with the approach taken by the NYSE itself and
the other national securities exchanges with respect to the waiver of
fees in connection with the transfer of common equity securities from
another national securities exchange. As the Exchange competes with
foreign regulated exchanges for the listing of bonds and structured
products in the same way it competes with other national securities
exchanges, the costs of initial listing and the potential duplication
of fee payments in the first part year of listing on the NYSE represent
a similar impediment to the Exchange successfully competing with
foreign regulated exchanges for the transfer of the listing of those
securities. As such, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to apply
the same waivers in relation to issuers voluntarily delisting their
securities from a regulated foreign exchange in connection with listing
them on the Exchange for trading on NYSE Bonds.
    The proposed rule change would not affect the Exchange's commitment
of resources to its regulatory oversight of the listing process or its
regulatory programs.
    The Exchange also proposes to remove text from Section 902.08 that
is no longer relevant as it ceased to be operative on January 1, 2020.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \8\ of the Act, in particular, in that it
is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges. The Exchange also believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Proposed Change Is Reasonable
    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive marketplace for the
categories of securities listed and traded on NYSE Bonds. The
Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over
regulatory intervention in determining prices, products, and services
in the securities markets.
    The Exchange believes that the ever shifting market share among the
exchanges with respect to new listings and the transfer of existing
listings between competitor exchanges demonstrates that issuers can
choose different listing markets in response to fee changes.
Accordingly, competitive forces constrain exchange listing fees. Stated
otherwise, changes to exchange listing fees can have a direct effect on
the ability of an exchange to compete for new listings and retain
existing listings.
    Given this competitive environment, the Exchange believes that the
proposal to waive initial listing fees and the first year's prorated
annual fees for NYSE Bonds Securities listing in conjunction with their
voluntary delisting from a foreign regulated exchange is reasonable
because the cost of paying listing fees to both the NYSE and the
predecessor exchange imposes a significant financial burden and acts as
a disincentive to transferring.
The Proposal Is an Equitable Allocation of Fees
    The Exchange believes that the waiver of initial listing fees and
the prorated annual fee for the first year of listing for NYSE Bonds
Securities listing in conjunction with their voluntary delisting from a
foreign regulated exchange is not inequitable as it expects it will be
available to a small number of issuers and is being implemented solely
to relieve these issuers of the burden of duplicative payments to two
exchanges.
The Proposal Is Not Unfairly Discriminatory
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is not unfairly
discriminatory, because the proposed waivers are solely intended to
avoid duplication of costs for issuers transferring their listings from
foreign regulated exchanges and not to provide them with any benefit
that would place them in a more favorable position than other listed
companies.
    Finally, the Exchange believes that it is subject to significant
competitive forces, as described below in the Exchange's statement
regarding the burden on competition.
    The proposed removal of text relating to fees that are no longer
applicable is ministerial in nature and has no substantive effect.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal
is consistent with the Act.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Intramarket Competition
    The proposed waivers will be available to all similarly situated
applicants on the same basis. The Exchange does not believe that the
proposed amended fees will have any meaningful effect on the
competition among issuers listed on the Exchange.
Intermarket Competition
    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which
issuers can readily choose to list new securities on other exchanges
and transfer listings to other exchanges if they deem fee levels at
those other venues to be more favorable. Because competitors are free
to modify their own fees in response, and because issuers may change
their chosen listing venue, the Exchange does not believe its proposed
fee change can impose any burden on intermarket competition.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule
19b-4 \11\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other
charge imposed by the Exchange.

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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 under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \12\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.

action?

IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is the background for these actions?

    On September 20, 2022, the EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking that proposed to approve revisions to the New York SIP
submitted by the State of New York on March 26, 2021. See 87 FR 57429.
This SIP revision includes revisions to an existing regulation, Title 6
of the New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations (NYCRR) Subpart 227-1,
``Stationary Combustion Installations,'' with a State effective date of
February 25, 2021. These revisions are applicable statewide and
establish PM emission standards for existing and new stationary
combustion installations.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The attendant revisions to 6 NYCRR Part 200, ``General
Provisions,'' section 200.9, ``Referenced material,'' Table 1, for 6
NYCRR Subpart 227-1 has been addressed under a separate rulemaking
at 87 FR 52337, effective September 26, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    New York's revisions to Subpart 227-1 include additional control
strategies that will reduce PM emissions from major sources throughout
the State. The EPA is approving New York's SIP submittal which applies
to major sources of PM, as a SIP-strengthening measure for New York's
SIP.
    The specific details of New York's SIP submittals and rationale for
the EPA's proposed approval are explained in the EPA's proposed
rulemaking and are not restated in this final action. For this detailed
information, the reader is referred to the EPA's September 20, 2022,
proposed rulemaking. See 87 FR 57429.

II. What comments were received in response to the EPA's proposed
action?

    In response to EPA's September 20, 2022, proposed rulemaking on New
York's SIP revisions, the EPA received four comments during the 30-day
public comment period. The specific comments may be viewed under Docket
ID Number EPA-R02-OAR-2022-0321 on the https://regulations.gov website.
The first two comments, received on October 17, 2022, and October 19,
2022, were supportive of EPA's proposed action to approve New York's
revisions of NYCRR Subpart 227-1, ``Stationary Combustion
Installations,'' into New York's SIP. A summary of the remaining two
comments and the EPA's response are provided in this section.
    Comment 3: The third comment, received on October 20, 2022, was
submitted by an anonymous commenter from the University of Washington
School of Law. The commenter voices support by stating that ``. . . the
EPA proposal to approve revisions to the New York State Implementation
Plan (SIP) is tailored enough in this situation . . . under the SIP, we
see a careful and deliberate plan of limiting PM emissions for oil and
solid fuel fired stationary combustion installations.'' The commenter
also provides suggestions to New York's SIP, like including a list of
all the stationary combustion installations that will be applicable to
this regulation. The commenter is also supportive of EPA's proposal to
incorporate by reference the revisions made to 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-1
into New York's SIP by stating that ``. . . materials like Stationary
Combustion Installations available online and through regulations.gov
website will continue to ensure that these proposed rules will be seen
by the public.'' The commenter also mentions that it is important for
EPA in future actions to note whether a rule that is finalized will not
have a direct cost on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    Response 3: The EPA acknowledges the commenter's support of the
EPA's proposed rule. To address the commenter's suggestion to have New
York's SIP include a list of all stationary combustion installations
applicable, the EPA reviewed NYSDEC's SIP revision to examine if
similar comments were addressed during the Department's assessment of
public comments received on the proposal of Subpart 227-1. During the
assessment period, representatives from private businesses also
submitted a comment requesting NYSDEC to provide an estimate of the
number of sites the revised regulation would likely impact. NYSDEC
responded to the comment by stating that the Department has issued
permits or registrations to 51 facilities throughout New York State
that employ 76 wood fired emission sources. New York also states that
these sources range in size from 1.4 mmBTU/HR heat input to 855 mmBTU/
HR heat input; they burn wood chips, hogged wood fuel, and wood
pellets. The Department also provides the following breakdown in their
response: (1) 5 facilities with 8 emission sources were issued Title V
permits, (2) 15 facilities with 31 emission sources were issued State
Facility permits, and (3) 31 facilities with 37 emission sources were
issued registrations. NYSDEC affirms that the Regulatory Impact
Statement (RIS) and the Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Small
Business and Local Governments (RFASBLG) will also include these
emission source data. Also, NYSDEC is not able to accurately predict
the number of future installations that may be impacted by this
regulation until that facility applies for a permit or registration
from the Department. Therefore, containing a list of applicable sources
under Subpart 227-1 may not be accurate over time once facilities
retire these emission sources or apply for new permits. The EPA plans
to ensure that the incorporation by reference materials for New York's
SIP revision of 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-1, ``Stationary Combustion
Installations,'' will be available through http://regulations.gov and
physically at the EPA Region 2 Office.
    Comment 4: The fourth public comment, received on October 19, 2022,
was submitted by a New Jersey resident and Rutgers University Human
Ecology undergraduate. The commenter acknowledges the prospective
benefits from the EPA's intervention in New York's SIP. However, the
commenter voices concern over Sections 227-1.3 and Section 227-1.4 of
New York's revision to 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-1. Regarding Section 227-
1.3, the commenter mentions that ``. . . there should be more
maintenance

requirements besides providing an annual tune-up of equipment. Bi-
annual or quarterly checks would be a stronger form of preventative
maintenance that could lead to less repair costs from continuous use of
stationary combustion installation.'' Thus, the commenter requests that
EPA considers issuing a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) to ``. . .
execute more stringent regulations concerning monitoring practices in
applicable sites.''
    Regarding Section 227-1.4, the commenter mentions that ``. . . even
with the inclusion of Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems (COMS), 27%
opacity limit for 6 minutes per hour is not a feasible attainment plan
when considering the proximity of non-attainment industries that
contribute to PM emissions in New York . . . the compounding impacts of
multiple industries operating at this increased level can have
substantial effects on primary and secondary standards over time.'' The
commenter also mentions that EPA should consider researching what the
additional reductions in emission there would be if there were no 27%
opacity limits for a 6-minute period every hour.
    Response 4: In this action, EPA is approving New York's SIP
submission that revises existing provisions in rules the State's
statewide SIP as a SIP-strengthening measure. In this action, EPA is
not determining whether these provisions satisfy specific nonattainment
planning obligations under the CAA for purposes of the PM2.5
NAAQS. Rather, EPA is approving these New York regulations into the SIP
pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(3), which states that EPA ``shall
approve [a SIP] submittal as a whole if it meets all the applicable
requirements of this chapter.'' Because this SIP revision relates to
emission controls for criteria pollutants and strengthens the
preexisting requirements in the New York SIP, EPA has determined it is
appropriate to approve the SIP revision.
    The EPA does not agree with the commenter that more maintenance
requirements besides providing an annual tune-up of equipment are
necessary. In its own response to comments, NYSDEC noted that the
manufacturer specifications outline that boilers require an annual
inspection and periodic maintenance, regardless of how frequently those
boilers are monitored. The Department concluded that the annual tune-up
requirement will satisfy the manufacturer's recommended annual
inspection and maintenance procedures and ensure that those procedures
are followed and performed by the owner or operators of these impacted
units. Therefore, the EPA finds no basis to disapprove New York's SIP
submittal solely on grounds that boilers should have more maintenance
requirements besides annual tune-up of equipment.
    The EPA also reviewed NYSDEC's SIP revision of 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-
1, ``Stationary Combustion Installations,'' to examine if similar
comments regarding the commenter's opacity concerns arose during the
Department's assessment of public comments. Following that review, the
EPA identified that no other comments were submitted that urged the
Department to incorporate more stringent opacity limits than those
adopted within the revision. Within New York's SIP submittal, the
Department indicated that the purpose of this SIP revision is to impose
stringent particulate matter emission limits on existing and new
stationary combustion installations that either predate, or are not
subject to, a federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) and/or
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).
Essentially, the purpose of this revision to Subpart 227-1 is to impose
particulate matter and opacity standards on a larger universe of
stationary combustion installations that are not currently subject to
any federal NSPS or NESHAP. To address the commenter's concern
regarding the opacity limits adopted in this rule, the EPA reviewed the
opacity requirements listed within various NSPS and NESHAPs that also
applied to stationary combustion installation sources applicable to New
York's rule. The EPA reviewed these federal opacity standards and
compared them with the opacity limits outlined within Subpart 227-1 to
determine if the opacity requirements included in this SIP would meet
or exceed those already enforced on a federal standard.
    In EPA's review, existing federal NSPS impose similar opacity
requirements for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units and for
Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units.\2\ New
York's revised Subpart 227-1 contains a lower applicability threshold
and thus imposes the opacity and PM standards on a larger universe of
sources. The lower applicability threshold will impose the PM limits on
more stationary combustion installations than previous versions of the
regulation. The EPA is approving New York's revisions to Subpart 227-1
as a SIP-strengthening measure, since this revision extends the
applicability of these opacity and PM standards to more existing and
new stationary combustion installations than previous iterations of the
rule. On May 22, 2001, the EPA finalized approval of additional
administrative changes that New York made to Subpart 227-1. In this
action, the EPA incorporated by reference those administrative changes,
which included similar opacity limits as for the purpose of enforcing
New York's SIP. See 66 FR 28059.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Owners or operators of affected units subject to either 40
CFR part 60 subpart Da and Db shall not cause to be discharged into
the atmosphere any gases which exhibit greater than 20 percent
opacity (6-minute average), expect for one 6-minute period per hour
of not more than 27 percent opacity. See https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-60/subpart-Da and
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-60/subpart-Db.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since 1972, New York has developed and submitted SIP provisions
that have allowed the New York-N. New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT area
to demonstrate attainment of the primary and secondary PM2.5
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). See 80 FR 2206. New
York's revision to Subpart 227-1 will continue to ensure that stringent
PM emission limits and monitoring requirements apply to owners or
operators of stationary combustion installations to further reduce
emissions of the precursors of PM2.5, to help New York State
continue to maintain the current 24-hour and Annual PM2.5
NAAQS.
    This concludes our response to the comments received. No changes
have been made to the proposed rule as a result of the comments
received.

III. What action is the EPA taking?

    The EPA is approving New York's SIP revision submission, dated
March 26, 2021, making revisions 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-1, ``Stationary
Combustion Installations,'' as SIP-strengthening. This approval of the
revisions will extend the requirements of 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-1 to a
broader universe of sources by changing the applicability criteria of
the existing SIP emission limits. EPA has already addressed related
revisions New York made to 6 NYCRR Part 200, ``General Provisions,''
section 200.9, ``Referenced material,'' Table 1, for 6 NYCRR Subpart
227-1 in a separate rulemaking (see 87 FR 52337, effective September
26, 2022). These revisions include changes to the applicability
threshold and PM emission limits that will reduce PM2.5
emissions statewide and provide support for New York State to continue
to maintain the current 24-hour and Annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The
EPA finds that this submission strengthens New York's existing SIP.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that
includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of
1 CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of 6 NYCRR
Subpart 227-1, ``Stationary Combustion Installations'', the regulation
described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 as discussed in Section
I. and III. of this preamble. The EPA has made and will continue to
make these materials generally available through http://regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region 2 Office (please contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in New York's SIP, have been incorporated by reference by EPA
into that SIP, and are fully federally enforceable under sections 110
and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); see also 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this final action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because this action does not involve technical standards.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose any substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November
9, 2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences.''
    The NYSDEC did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing
regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did
not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Due
to the nature of the action being taken here, this action is expected
to have a neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the affected
area. Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and
there is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal
of E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for people of color,
low-income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by August 4, 2023. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

796-9001, Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>, email: [email protected], or FDA Advisory
Committee Information Line, 1-800-741-8138<PHONE_NUMBER> in the
Washington, DC area). A notice in the Federal Register about last
minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory
committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide
timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the FDA's website at
https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to
the appropriate advisory committee meeting link, or call the advisory
committee information line to learn about possible modifications before
coming to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Agenda: The committees will provide input and advice on strategies
to increase the availability of naloxone products intended for use in
the community. The committees will be asked to consider various options
for increasing access to naloxone, weighing logistical, economic, and
harm reduction aspects and whether naloxone should be co-prescribed
with all or some opioid prescriptions to reduce the risk of overdose
death. Because of the potential, significant costs and burdens that may
be associated with naloxone co-prescribing (e.g., economic costs to
consumers and health systems, adjusting to manufacturing volume growth,
drug shortages), the committees will also be asked to consider the
potential burdens that may be associated with naloxone co-prescribing
for all or some prescription opioid patients.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's website after the meeting. Background material is
available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting
link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committees.
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see the
ADDRESSES section) on or before December 3, 2018, will be provided to
the committees. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on December 18, 2018. Those
individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should
notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general
nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and
addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before
November 23, 2018. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited.
If the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing
session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the
scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify
interested persons regarding their request to speak by November 26,
2018.
    Persons attending FDA's advisory committee meetings are advised
that FDA is not responsible for providing access to electrical outlets.
