       Supporting Statement for an Information Collection Request (ICR)
                    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Identification of the Information Collection  -  Title and Numbers
      Title: Consolidated Pesticide Registration Submission Portal (New)
EPA ICR No.: 2624.01
OMB Control No.: 2070-[NEW]
Docket ID Number: EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0273
Abstract
This new information collection request (ICR) consolidates the collection activities and related burdens contained in the following eight ICRs that are currently approved under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) through July 31, 2023, July 31, 2023, August 31, 2023, August 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, January 31, 2025, May 31, 2025, and July 31, 2025:
 "Tolerance Petitions for Pesticides on Food/Feed Crops and New Inert Ingredients'' (EPA ICR No. 0597.13, OMB Control No. 2070-0024);
 "Notice of Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product'' (EPA ICR No. 0278.13, OMB Control No. 2070-0044);
 "Experimental Use Permits (EUPs) for Pesticides'' (EPA ICR No. 0276.18, OMB Control No. 2070-0040);
 "Pesticide Program Public Sector Collections (FIFRA § 18/24(c))" (EPA ICR No. 2311.05, OMB Control No. 2070-0182);
 "Application for New and Amended Pesticide Registration'' (EPA ICR No. 0277.24, OMB Control No. 2070-0060);
 ``Plant-Incorporated Protectants; CBI Substantiation and Adverse Effects Reporting'' (EPA ICR No. 1693.10, OMB Control No. 2070-0142);
 ``Submission of Unreasonable Adverse Effects Information Under FIFRA 6(a)(2)'' (EPA ICR No. 1204.14, OMB Control No. 2070-0039); and
 ``Compliance Requirement for Child Resistant Packaging'' (EPA ICR No. 0616.13, OMB Control No. 2070-0052).
The OMB Terms of Clearance for several of these ICRs directed EPA to consolidate the ICRs to simplify the burden presentation and calculations for the public due to the shared or anticipated collection method involving submissions via the Pesticide Submission Portal in EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX). This consolidation is expected to clarify the capabilities of the Pesticide Submission Portal for respondents and will streamline the activities related to tracking the ICR renewal activities for both the public and EPA.
The new ICR covers the EPA pesticide registration collection activities supporting the statutorily mandated pesticide registration program under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), including the activities associated with the following:
 Pesticide registration
 Pesticide use
 Pesticide sale and distribution
 Pesticide permitting activities
 Determinations regarding whether a product must be regulated under FIFRA
 Pesticide tolerances.
The collection activities vary and are dependent on the request from the Agency, the respondent, or both to fulfill the associated requirement or voluntary submission. Due to the diverse nature of the collections and affected industries, the term "respondent" will be used to refer to those engaging in any or all of the collections described in this ICR, unless a specific term offers more clarity.
In general, before an individual or entity can sell or distribute pesticides in the United States, EPA must evaluate the pesticides thoroughly to ensure that they meet federal safety standards to protect human health and the environment. EPA grants a "registration" or license that permits a pesticide's distribution, sale, and use only after the company meets the scientific and regulatory requirements.
The Agency currently collects data on physical chemistry, toxicology, environmental fate, ecological effects, worker exposure, residue chemistry, environmental chemistry, and product performance. The information required is dependent on the use and type of product registration (OMB Control No. 2070-0060). This data is also used to determine whether the pesticide product must be sold and distributed in Child-Resistant Packaging (CRP) or if it qualifies for an exemption from CRP requirements by meeting certain criteria regarding toxicity and use (OMB Control No. 2070-0052).
A respondent wanting to obtain a registration for a pesticide product must submit an application package consisting of information relating to the identity and composition of the product, proposed labeling, and supporting data (or a statement that they have offered to pay for use of someone else's data) for the product, as mentioned above and outlined in 40 CFR part 158. Standard pesticide registrations do not require Confidential Business Information (CBI) substantiations to be submitted at the time the CBI claim is made. However, under 40 CFR part 174, respondents claiming CBI for plant-incorporated protectant registrations must submit a substantiation with the CBI claim. Plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances produced by plants and the genetic material necessary for the plant to produce the substance. EPA regulates both the pesticidal substance in the plant and the necessary genetic material for production of the pesticide -- the plant itself is not regulated (OMB Control No. 2070-0142).
If a respondent seeks to register a pesticide product developed for food or feed crops, they must ascertain if the Agency has established a tolerance or a tolerance exemption for the active ingredient in the product on those crops. If not, the respondent may petition the Agency to establish a pesticide tolerance or exemption for the active ingredient on the specific crop or crop groupings. Or the respondent may petition the Agency to establish a blanket tolerance exemption for all food commodities. Under FFDCA, EPA is responsible for regulating pesticides used to protect crops grown for human food and animal feed and for setting limits on the amount of pesticide residues that may remain in or on foods. These limits on pesticide residues left on foods are called "tolerances," or maximum residue limits. A pesticide should have a tolerance or tolerance exemption to be used on food or feed crops. In setting tolerances and tolerance exemptions, EPA must make a finding that the tolerance is "safe," meaning that there is a reasonable certainty of no harmful effects of human health from aggregate exposure through dietary, non-occupational, and drinking water routes of exposure (OMB Control No. 2070-0024).
The timeframes for the tolerances actions are established by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) as amended in 2018. The vast majority of actions to establish tolerances or tolerance exemptions are taken in response to petitions from registrants for the establishment of new tolerances for an existing pesticide ingredient. The Agency may also initiate tolerance actions.
Pesticide tolerances are also needed to support the interstate movement of pesticide-treated foods in commerce.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for tolerance enforcement.  Food commodities found to contain pesticide residues in excess of established tolerances are considered adulterated, and are subject to seizure by FDA, and may result in civil penalties.
After a registration is approved, under FIFRA §6(a)(2), registrants are still required to submit any factual information they acquire regarding adverse effects associated with their pesticidal products. It is up to the Agency to determine whether or not that factual information constitutes an unreasonable adverse effect to human health and the environment. In addition, manufacturers of PIPs exempted from registration requirements are also required to report adverse effects to the Agency (OMB Control No. 2070-0039).
At any time, a pesticide registrant may sell or distribute registered pesticides under an Agency-approved alternate brand name in addition to the registered primary brand name, or under a different entity's name and address. Sale and distribution is called "supplemental distribution," and the product is called a "distributor product."  EPA requires pesticide registrants who enter into supplemental distribution agreements with other companies to submit EPA Form 8570-5, Notice of Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product. Supplemental registrations are only an extension of a currently federally registered pesticide product (OMB Control No. 2070-0044).
Registrants may seek, at their discretion, to amend a registration by submitting data and/or proposed, revised label to EPA. Also, EPA often issues regulatory decisions or guidance that applies to some registered pesticide products and requires labeling revisions to be implemented by the registrant. The revised label is submitted to the Agency as an amendment along with a cover letter, EPA Form 8570-1, and other forms, and necessary data as needed (OMB Control No. 2070-0060).
In the context of its registration activities for conventional pesticides, EPA operates a reduced risk program. This program offers an incentive through a shortened regulatory review schedule for proposed uses that might be beneficial to the public and the environment owing to their risk profile, compared to alternatives for pest control (OMB Control No. 2070-0060). The reduced risk program is described in an EPA policy notice known as the Reduced-Risk Initiative (PR Notice 97-3, "Guidelines for Expedited Review of Conventional Pesticides under Reduced-Risk Initiative and for Biological Pesticides").

Supporting Statement
1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the manufacture and use of all pesticides (including insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, disinfectants, sanitizers and more) in the United States under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA); and establishes maximum levels for pesticide residues in food under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). In addition to the implementation of the mandates in FIFRA and FFDCA section 408, EPA implements
the Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act (PRIA) and key parts of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), and the Endangered Species Act. More information about the statutory mandates and EPA's pesticide registration program can be found on EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-office-chemical-safety-and-pollution-prevention-ocspp.
2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the Agency has made of the information received from the current collection.
The collection activities addressed in this ICR are necessary for EPA to fulfill its statutory mandates under FIFRA and FFDCA. The information collected supports regulatory decisions that ensure pesticide products in the marketplace do not cause any unreasonable risk to humans or the environment, taking into account their economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of their use. They also ensure that pesticide residues on food pose no aggregate dietary risk and are consistent with the rigorous standards set under FFDCA §408. The process of registering a pesticide is a scientific, legal, and administrative procedure through which the Agency examines the ingredients of the pesticide; the particular site or crop where it is to be used; the amount, frequency, and timing of its use; and storage and disposal practices. The Agency also evaluates and approves the language that appears on each pesticide label to ensure the directions for use and safety measures are appropriate to any potential risk. Following label directions is required by law and is necessary to ensure safe use.
This ICR covers several of the collection activities associated with the pesticide registration program that involve the submission of information to EPA through an electronic submission portal. Several examples, among others, of how EPA uses the collections to regulate registered and exempt pesticide products include the following:
          Make pre-application determinations of whether products need regulation under FIFRA.
          Ensure the efficacy of registered antimicrobial pesticide products targeting public health pests that are available in the marketplace.
          Protect children and adults from serious illness or injury resulting from accidental ingestion or contact with a pesticide product by ensuring proper product packaging.
          Protect the public's right to access information consistent with FIFRA and ensure that information qualifying as CBI is properly protected from unauthorized disclosures.
          Determine whether a request for an EUP is justified to allow for pesticide research.
          Ascertain the cause/effect relationship when a pesticide is registered and later found to have adverse effects and allow the Agency to review new data which may contain important health data.
The adverse effects information submitted under FIFRA §6(a)(2) after the registration process is considered by EPA in conjunction with other information to determine whether the terms and conditions of pesticide products containing a specific active ingredient should change during the registration review process or at other times. Registrants have indicated that the type of information collected under FIFRA §6(a)(2) is valuable to them as well. Registrants may actively seek unanticipated and/or adverse effects information as part of product stewardship, which improves customer relations, minimizes liability, or protects or expands market share.
The requirement of respondents to report adverse effects associated with exempt PIPs products within 30 days is necessary in order to obtain any information on unforeseen adverse effects from the exempted PIPs. These reporting requirements are similar to, but separate from, reporting requirements imposed on registrants under FIFRA §6(a)(2) for registered pesticides. The FIFRA §6(a)(2) reporting requirement applies to registrants and many PIPs are exempted from registration requirements.
These collections also allow the Agency to acquire the necessary data to make statutory determinations to grant or deny a FIFRA §18 request. Unexpected changes in climatic conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, development of pest resistance, and/or importation of invasive pests are some of the unpredictable situations that could necessitate a FIFRA §18 emergency exemption request.  In these situations, there is an urgent need for the use of a pesticide, a use that may be unregistered and for which there is insufficient time to obtain a FIFRA §3 registration.
Similarly, to address existing or imminent pest problems, states may register a new pesticide product for any use, or an additional use of a federally registered pesticide under FIFRA §24(c) if it's determined that currently registered pesticide products are not available or effective against the target pest/use site scenario.
3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
Collection submissions are received either through the Pesticide Submission Portal, email, or mail; printed to produce a paper copy, if applicable; pin-punched by date, screened, and entered into OPP's central data system, the Pesticide Registration Information System (PRISM), to track their progress through their respective registration process. The database continually tracks all registration actions from the registration-pending stage through to full registration approval and until a product is canceled. The database maintains information on both currently registered products and previously registered products, thereby acting as a pesticide registration historical file.
A folder, or "jacket," containing all relevant documents is then created for the submission package and sent to the respective Product Manager (PM) for appropriate action. ITRMD maintains official file jackets, in which copies of the submission, EPA's reviews, registration approvals, correspondence, label, the CSF and other related information are all retained.
4. Describe efforts to identify duplication.
These collections are unique and are administered by EPA pursuant to FIFRA and FFDCA §408 as amended by FQPA. The collections are specific to the needs of the Federal pesticide laws which negate the need for similar data by other federal agencies or EPA offices.
Respondents submit information unique to their pesticide registration. If the product is not unique, existing data may be referenced. On amended applications, the applicant can refer to any previously submitted information that they own, thereby satisfying data requirements without the burden of providing duplicate information or additional data development. EPA's registration program allows for collaboration through data citation and ensuring that original data generators/submitters are compensated when their data are cited in another application.
5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe the methods used to minimize burden.
The Agency believes that the burden imposed on small entities by these collections has been reduced to the minimal level at which these programs can effectively function under the requirements specified in FIFRA and FFDCA and the regulations for the enforcement of FIFRA and FFDCA as amended by FQPA. Much of the information needed for the collections is generated simultaneously by the respondent as part of the normal data gathered during research and development to satisfy baseline pesticide registration requirements. In other cases, EPA has taken the following measures to reduce small entity burden when applicable:
 Respondents seeking a pesticide registration under FIFRA §3 can complete EPA Form 8570-27 ("Formulator's Exemption Statement") which reduces the data submission burden on an applicant for registration of a product that uses an EPA-registered pesticide product as the source of its active ingredient. This form exempts the applicant from furnishing the generic data that were already submitted by the company registering the source product.
 The Agency also maintains a pesticide database so that respondents can easily determine whether a particular study has been submitted, and by whom it was submitted, as well as the specific chemical and site(s). As a result, applicants encounter little difficulty in identifying available data needed to support an application for registration.
For EUPs, the Agency has identified the minimum amount of data required to conduct a risk assessment of the proposed research. These data requirements are flexible and may be adjusted as appropriate to the specific product under review. Prior to the initiation of any small-scale field testing involving genetically-altered or non-indigenous microbial pest control agents, the respondent must submit a notification to the Agency so that a determination can be made as to whether an EUP is required. Because the notification requirements have been designed from the outset to minimize the burden on respondents, there are no special measures taken for small businesses since the burden is considered to be at a minimal level.
Regardless of the size of the registrant, FIFRA §6(a)(2) regulations provide simplified reporting and extended reporting timeframes for most incident reports. Currently, there is no standard reporting format prescribed in the regulations, therefore, the submitters can use a format of their choosing to report incidents.  While the Agency does not mandate a specific format for the required submission, EPA has worked with industry to develop guidance that both facilitates submissions and simplifies compliance.
At times, small entities seek a tolerance or an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for pesticide residues resulting from registered uses. Tolerances are PRIA actions with fees established by Congress with the provision of fee waivers and fee exemptions in certain circumstances. EPA's website is a resource for the public on fees and the process for seeking a waiver or exemption of fees: http://www2.epa.gov/pria-fees/pria-fee-waivers-small-businesses.
Small entities are not impacted by collections under FIFRA §§ 18 and 24(c) which apply directly to states, U.S. Territories, and federal agencies only; it does not apply to other entities. States are not "small entities" as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act. No PRIA fees or monetary collection is connected with either section 18 or 24c activities.
6. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.
Collection activities are initiated by respondents for the pesticide registration actions in this ICR on an "as needed" basis. Respondents' submission of data is voluntary, and for the pursuit of a pesticide registration or determination to sell and distribute their pesticide product under FIFRA and FFDCA as amended by FQPA. There are no set means by which EPA can reduce the frequency except to eliminate the collection altogether. If the information were not submitted, EPA would be unable to fulfill its statutory responsibilities to regulate pesticides and protect human health and the environment.
7. Explain any special circumstances that require the collection to be conducted in a manner inconsistent with OMB guidelines.
Apart from data records related to emergency exemptions which are only required to be maintained for two years after their production, all other recordkeeping activities in this ICR exceed OMB's guideline that agencies not require that records be retained for more than three years (5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)(iv)). As authorized under FIFRA §8, 40 CFR 169.2(k), respondents are required to retain records containing research data relating to a registered pesticide, including all data submitted to EPA in support of a registration, for as long as the registration is valid, and the pesticide producer is in business. The burden related to the recordkeeping requirements is covered under another ICR (see OMB Control No. 2070-0028, Recordkeeping Requirements for Producers of Pesticides under FIFRA §8.
8. If applicable, provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publications in the Federal Register of the agency's notice, required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken in response to the comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden. Describe efforts to consult with persons outside EPA to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or report.
Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d), in proposing this new ICR, EPA published a Federal Register Notice on August 13, 2020, providing a 60-day public comment period (85 FR 49366 (FRL-10010-43)). No comments were received throughout the duration of the 60-day comment period. Under 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), Federal Agencies are required to consult with respondents about the information collections before submitting approval requests to OMB. In accordance with this regulation, EPA staff contacted six relevant respondents  -  two State representatives, and four industry representatives (Attachment C). EPA asked for their assessment of the regulatory burden and cost estimates expressed by the Agency in this ICR, the clarity of instructions for respondents, the method and frequency of collection, etc. One respondent submitted comments to the Agency and a copy is displayed in Attachment B.
A respondent indicated a cost of maintaining operations of state-level (not federally-mandated) section 3 registrations and federally-mandated section 24(c) Special Local Need pesticide registrations within their developed data system, which is not a cost attributable to paperwork burden. After consideration of comments received, the Agency determined that the cost of maintenance of the respondent's own data system is largely for state-level registration processes, not federal information collection activity requirements (except for a tracking and storing of a relatively small amount of federal section 24(c)s). Additionally, data system maintenance costs does not fall under the burden of information collection activity requirements set upon the respondent and therefore the current burden and cost of the Consolidated ICR collection is accurate as written, with no further adjustments needed
9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.
This question is not applicable to this ICR.
10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy.
Trade secret or CBI is information submitted to the Agency that is considered proprietary and confidential to the submitter. CBI can include the manufacturing process, product formulation and/or supporting data. When CBI is submitted to the Agency, the information is protected from disclosure under FIFRA §10 and it is handled strictly in accordance with the provisions of the "FIFRA Confidential Business Information Security Manual."
Much of the information submitted pursuant to FIFRA §6(a)(2) constitutes FIFRA §10(d)(1) safety and efficacy information. On September 28, 1999, the Agency issued a class determination that safety and efficacy information submitted under FIFRA §6(a)(2) is not entitled to confidential treatment. The determination enables the Agency to respond more quickly and efficiently to requests for information submitted under FIFRA §6(a)(2).
11. Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.
No information of a sensitive or private nature is requested in conjunction with these information collection activities, and these information collection activities comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular A-108.
12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information.
The NAICS codes associated with industries most likely affected by the paperwork requirements are described below. EPA recognizes that while this list may not be comprehensive, it represents a broad spectrum of large and small entities who are engaged in the preregistration of pesticides, pesticide registration process, pesticide post-registration activities and those seeking pesticide tolerances or exemptions.

13.  Provide an estimate for the total annual cost burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information.
 The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost component (annualized over its expected useful life) and (b) a total operation and maintenance and purchase of services component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. Include descriptions of methods used to estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s), and the time period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and start-up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and record storage facilities.
 If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collections services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. In developing cost burden estimates, agencies may consult with a sample of respondents (fewer than 10), utilize the 60-day pre-OMB submission public comment process and use existing economic or regulatory impact analysis associated with the rulemaking containing the information collection, as appropriate.
There are $0 in capital or maintenance and operational costs.
14. Provide estimates of annualized cost to the Federal government.

15. Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments reported in Items 13 (or 14) of OMB Form 83-I.
This information collection combines the burdens from eight previously approved ICRs. The total combined respondent burden hours from those previously approved ICRs by OMB were estimated at 2,175,048 hours, the same amount requested for this ICR.

The total combined cost burden from these eight previously approved ICRs was $170,250,338. The total cost burden requested for this ICR is $183,157,210  -  a increase of $12,906,872. The difference between the current cost burden request and the previously approved requests is due only to adjustments in EPA's estimates of the wage rates and material costs that were revised to reflect 2022 dollars for this ICR.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60296; File No. SR-NYSEAmex-2009-37]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change by NYSE Amex LLC Adopting Rule
968NY-Cabinet Trades

July 13, 2009.
    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 30, 2009, NYSE Amex (``NYSE Amex'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Exchange filed the proposed rule change pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \4\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\5\
which renders it effective upon filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 968NY-Cabinet Trades. The text
of the proposed rule change is attached as Exhibit 5 to the 19b-4 form.
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
    NYSE Amex proposes to adopt new Rule 968NY which will govern
cabinet trading.\6\ The proposed rule is substantially similar to NYSE
Arca Rule 6.80.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ A Cabinet Trade is also known as an Accommodation
Transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 2, 2009 NYSE Amex (f/k/a NYSE Alternext US LLC, f/k/a The
American Stock Exchange LLC (collectively ``Amex'')) adopted a new rule
set governing the trading of options.\7\ Much of the new rule set was
based on the rules of NYSE Arca Inc. (``NYSE Arca''). In conjunction
with the filing of the new rule set, the Exchange filed a separate
proposal deleting many out-of-date and/or obsolete rules.\8\ Included
as part of this filing was the deletion of former Amex Rule 959-
Accommodation [sic] Transactions, which contained provisions governing
both cabinet trading and position transfers. However, when filing the
new rule set the Exchange inadvertently failed to include new rules
governing cabinet trading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59472 (February 27,
2009), 74 FR 9843 (March 6, 2009) (order approving NYSEALTR-2008-14,
as amended).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59454 (February 25,
2009), 74 FR 9461 (March 4, 2009) (notice of filing and immediate
effectiveness of NYSEALTR-2009-17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to add a new rule governing the trading
of cabinet orders.\9\ A brief description of the rules change is shown
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ NYSE Amex proposes to adopt new rules related to the
transfer of options positions as part of a separate rule filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cabinet Trading
    A cabinet order is a limit order in a non-Penny Pilot issue, which
has been priced at $1.00.\10\ Cabinet orders serve as a way for market
participants to liquidate a worthless, or near worthless position, at a
minimal cost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Certain option issues on NYSE Amex are traded pursuant to a
Penny Pilot Program scheduled to run through July 3, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Prior to the adoption of the present NYSE Amex trading system, all
cabinet trading on the Amex was done on a manual basis. Therefore,
previous Rule Amex 959(a) dealt only with cabinet trading in open
outcry. The Exchange now proposes to adopt new Rule 968NY which will
govern both manual and electronic cabinet trading. This proposed rule
is similar in all material respects to NYSE Arca Rule 6.80, which also
governs both manual and electronic cabinet trading.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that for these reasons the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \11\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \12\ in
particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system. This proposal adds a new rule
governing the

trading of cabinet orders, based on NYSE Arca Rule 6.80.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest;
    (ii) Impose any significant burden on competition; and
    (iii) Become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it
has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the self-regulatory organization to submit to the
Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule
change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of
the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested the Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay because the proposal will afford market participants on
the Exchange the same opportunity to execute cabinet trades as is
afforded to market participants on other exchanges. The Commission
notes that the Exchange deleted its former rule on cabinet trading in
March of this year and inadvertently failed to include a new rule on
cabinet trading in its new rule set governing options trading.\15\ The
Commission believes waiving the 30-day operative delay to provide NYSE
Amex market participants the ability to immediately engage in cabinet
trading, as necessary, is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest.\16\ Accordingly, the Commission designates the
proposed rule change operative upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See supra notes 7 and 8 and accompanying text.
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay of
this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations

FR Federal Register

II. Background and Purpose

    The Board of County Commissioners of Camden County, Georgia
proposes to develop and operate a commercial space launch site, called
Spaceport Camden, in an unincorporated area of Camden County, Georgia,
approximately 11.5 miles due east of the town of Woodbine, Georgia. The
site, near Floyd Creek, is on the coast, surrounded by salt marshes to
the east and south, and the Satilla River to the north. In support of
Spaceport Camden, the Board of County Commissioners of Camden County,
Georgia requested that the Coast Guard establish safety zones which
would be enforced during launch, landing, and rocket test activities at
the site.
    The Coast Guard establishes safety zones over areas of water and/or
shore for safety or environmental purposes pursuant to the authority
contained in 33 CFR part 165. A safety zone is a ``. . . water area,
shore area, or water and shore area to which, for safety or
environmental purposes, access is limited to authorized persons,
vehicles, or vessels.''
    The applicants for Spaceport Camden propose up to 12 annual
launches and landings during daylight hours, with one possible
nighttime launch per year, of liquid-fueled, small to medium-large
lift-class, orbital and suborbital vertical launch vehicles. In support
of the proposed launches, the applicants for Spaceport Camden propose
up to 12 static fire engine tests per year. Launch trajectories would
vary from 83 to 115 degrees for vehicles up to and including medium-
large lift class. Because the trajectory of these launches would take
the rockets over various navigable waterways, creeks and tributaries,
sections of land, and areas offshore, applicants are required to limit
or restrict access to certain areas surrounding a rocket test/launch
site based on specific hazard analysis. The applicant's request to
establish safety zones during rocket launches, landings, and various
tests is one element in meeting these safety requirements.
    The range of potential safety zones for launch and landing
activities encompasses an area which accounts for safety concerns
associated with all potential launch trajectories. Individual launch
safety zones could be smaller and depend on several factors unique to
each event, such as actual trajectory, lift class, and payload. The
range of potential safety zones for rocket tests encompasses a smaller
area directly around the commercial space launch site. In all
instances, the proposed safety zones would be necessary to safeguard
persons, property, and the marine environment during rocket launches,
landings, and rocket test activities.

Proposed Launch/Landing Safety Zone

    The geographic area which encompasses all potential launch
trajectories and accounts for the largest possible launch vehicle is
defined by nine total corner points, identified below. Individual
launch safety zones could be smaller dependent upon aspects unique to
each launch activity, such as specific launch trajectories and the size
of each launch vehicle:

Union Carbide Rd, Latitude: 30[deg]54'17.0'' N, Longitude:
81[deg]30'45.0'' W
2. In vicinity of Cabin Bluff, at the end of Union Carbide Rd,
Latitude: 30[deg]53'6.75'' N, Longitude: 81[deg]30'56.5'' W
3. Cumberland River, just west of Cumberland Island, approximately 2

III. Information Requested

    In support of the applicant's request and to provide for the public
safety in connection with potential operations at Spaceport Camden, the
COTP Savannah is seeking comments from interested persons on the
establishment of two proposed safety zones on the navigable waters
surrounding Spaceport Camden, in the vicinity of Woodbine, Georgia.
These safety zones would be enforced during rocket launches, landings,
and various rocket tests. Launch/landing safety zones would support
launch/landing activities while test site safety zones would support
rocket test activities. Vessels, both commercial and recreational,
would be prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or
remaining within the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the
COTP Savannah or a designated representative.
    For launch activities, the safety zone is anticipated to be in
effect for approximately four to six hours for medium-large launchers,
but not longer than 12 hours. For small launches, the safety zone is
anticipated to be in effect for two to three hours. A safety zone for
rocket test activity is anticipated to be in effect for approximately
60 minutes or less. The COTP Savannah or a designated representative
would inform the public through broadcast notice to mariners of the
enforcement periods of the safety zone.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-86062; File No. SR-NYSEARCA-2019-41]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Commentary
.02 to Rule 6.72-O in Order To Extend the Penny Pilot in Options
Classes in Certain Issues

June 7, 2019.
    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 May 30, 2019, 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 and II
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 Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .02 to Rule 6.72-O in
order to extend the Penny Pilot in options classes in certain issues
(``Pilot Program'') previously approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') through December 31, 2019. The Pilot
Program is currently scheduled to expire on June 30, 2019. 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 hereby proposes to amend Commentary .02 to Rule 6.72-O
to extend the time period of the Pilot Program,\4\ which is currently
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2019, through December 31. 2019. The
Exchange believes that the proposed extension would allow for further
analysis of the Pilot Program and a determination of how the Pilot
Program should be structured in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Exchange Act Release No. 84873 (December 19, 2018) 83 FR
66798 (December 27, 2018) (SR-NYSEArca-2018-96).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This filing does not propose any substantive changes to the Pilot
Program: All classes currently participating will remain the same and
all minimum increments will remain unchanged. The Exchange believes the
benefits to public customers and other market participants who will be
able to express their true prices to buy and sell options have been
demonstrated to outweigh the increase in quote traffic.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \5\ of the
Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\6\ in
particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open
market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the proposed rule change, which extends the Penny
Pilot Program for six months, allows the Exchange to continue to
participate in a program that has been viewed as beneficial to traders,
investors and public customers and viewed as successful by the other
options exchanges participating in it. Accordingly, the Exchange
believes that the proposal is consistent with the Act because it would
allow the Exchange to extend the Pilot Program prior to its expiration
on June 30, 2019. The Exchange notes that this proposal does not
propose any new policies or provisions that are unique or unproven, but
instead relates to the continuation of an existing program that
operates on a pilot basis.

    The Exchange believes that the Pilot Program promotes just and
equitable principles of trade by enabling public customers and other
market participants to express their true prices to buy and sell
options to the benefit of all market participants.
    The proposal to extend the Pilot Program is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of
a free and open market and a national market system, by allowing the
Exchange and the Commission additional time to analyze the impact of
the Pilot Program while also allowing the Exchange to continue to
compete for order flow with other exchanges in option issues trading as
part of the Pilot Program.

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. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that, by extending the expiration of the Pilot Program, the
proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the Pilot
Program and a determination of how this Program should be structured in
the future. In doing so, the proposed rule change will also serve to
promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on
the marketplace and facilitating investor protection. The Pilot Program
is an industry-wide initiative supported by all other option exchanges.
The Exchange believes that extending the Pilot Program will allow for
continued competition between Exchange market participants trading
similar products as their counterparts on other exchanges, while at the
same time allowing the Exchange to continue to compete for order flow
with other exchanges in option issues trading as part of the Pilot
Program.

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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires
a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission written notice
of its intent to file the proposed rule change at least five
business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Commission notes that the Exchange satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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) \10\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Tolerance

    PP 4E6884. BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13528,
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish a tolerance for
residues of the fungicide metrafenone (3-bromo-6-methoxy-2-
methylphenyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylphenyl) methanone) (BAS 560 F)
in or on food commodities table and wine grapes at 0.5 parts per
million (ppm). BASF Analytical Methods No. FAMS 105-01 and No. FAMS
106-01 were developed to determine residues of BAS 560 F in grapes and
wine, respectively.
    In Method FAMS 105-01, BAS 560 F residues are extracted from the
sample with n-heptane/acetone 8/2 (v/v). This is followed by liquid/
liquid partition with ethyl acetate/water to remove sugar coextractives
and the organic phase is then dried with sodium sulfate. The extract is
subjected to further cleanup using high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) Quantitation determination of BAS 560 F is
carried out by capillary gas chromatography with an electron capture
detector (GC/ECD). In Method FAMS 106-01, BAS 560 F residues are
extracted from the sample by means of an Extrelut cartridge (Extrelut
NT 20, pre-packed columns for extraction of lipophilic compounds from
aqueous solutions). The extract is subjected to further cleanup using
HPLC. Quantitative determination of BAS 560 F is carried out by GC/ECD.
An independent laboratory validation demonstrated good performance of
these methods.
