   NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2003-15507

________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of   NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC. (Northwest) filed 6/21/05 for:

XX  Renewal of exemption for two years under 49 U.S.C. 40109 to provide
the following service:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail
between Atlanta, Georgia, on the one hand, and Sao Paulo, Brazil;
Bogota, Colombia; Cancun, Mexico; Guadalajara, Mexico; Mexico City,
Mexico; Monterrey, Mexico; San Jose del Cabo, Mexico; and Lima, Peru, on
the other hand; and between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Cancun, Mexico; and
between Los Angeles, California, and Guadalajara, Mexico; and to combine
this exemption authority with all of Northwest’s existing certificate
and exemption authority, consistent with applicable international
agreements.

Northwest states that, with the exception of the Atlanta-Monterrey
market, it requests renewal of this authority in order to continue to
offer service under a code-share arrangement with Delta Air Lines, Inc.
(Delta), whereby Northwest places its “NW*” code on flights operated
by Delta in the captioned markets.  Northwest states that it requests
renewal of the Atlanta-Monterrey authority in order to continue to offer
service under a code-share arrangement with ASE Atlantic Southeast (a
Delta affiliate), whereby Northwest places its “NW*” code on flights
operated by ASE Atlantic Southeast in the Atlanta-Monterrey market.

XX	Granted (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action was effective when taken:   October 4, 2005, through
October 4, 2007   .

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		      Office of International Aviation

XX  The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and the foreign countries involved.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

	XX  The holder’s certificates of public convenience and necessity

	XX  Standard exemption conditions (attached)

Conditions:  The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is subject to
the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A
of Order 88-10-2.  All of the exemption authority granted is limited to
service provided on a code-share basis only.

The code-share operations conducted under this authorization are subject
to the following conditions:

The code-sharing operations conducted under this authority must comply
with 14 CFR 257 and with any amendment to the Department’s regulations
concerning code-share arrangements that may be adopted.  Notwithstanding
any provisions in the contract between the carriers, our approval here
is expressly conditioned upon the requirements that the subject foreign
air transportation be sold in the name of the carrier holding out such
service in computer reservation systems and elsewhere; that the carrier
selling such transportation (i.e., the carrier shown on the ticket)
accept responsibility for the entirety of the code-share journey for all
obligations established in its contract of carriage with the passenger;
and that the passenger liability of the operating carrier be unaffected;
and

The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that neither
Northwest, Delta, nor ASE Atlantic Southeast shall give any force or
effect to any contractual provisions between themselves that are
contrary to these conditions.

The route integration authority granted is subject to the condition that
any service provided under this exemption shall be consistent with all
applicable agreements between the United States and the foreign
countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in award of the route
integration authority granted should be construed as conferring upon
Northwest rights (including fifth-freedom intermediate and/or beyond
rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier entry is limited unless
Northwest notifies the Department of its intent to serve such a market
and unless and until the Department has completed any necessary carrier
selection procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be authorized
to exercise such rights; and (b) should there be a request by any
carrier to use the limited-entry route rights that are included in
Northwest’s authority by virtue of the route integration exemption
granted here, but that are not then being used by Northwest, the holding
of such authority by route integration will not be considered as
providing any preference for Northwest in a competitive carrier
selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s) should be entitled to
use the authority at issue.

________________________________________________________________________
______

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department's regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the exemption services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0450]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Fireworks Display, Delaware Bay, Lewes, DE

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on the
waters of Delaware Bay off Lewes, DE from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4,
2018 during the Lewes, DE Fireworks Display. The safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of participant vessels, spectators, and
the boating public during the event. This regulation prohibits persons
and non-participant vessels from entering, transiting through,
anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port (COTP) Delaware Bay or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
TFR Temporary Final Rule
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable and contrary to
the public interest to do so. There is insufficient time to allow for a
reasonable comment period prior to the date of the event. The rule must
be in force by July 4, 2018 to serve its purpose of ensuring the safety
of spectators and the general public from hazards associated with the
fireworks display. Hazards include accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to mitigate the potential safety
hazards associated with a fireworks display in this location.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Delaware Bay (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the fireworks display on July 4, 2018
will be a safety concern for anyone within a 350 yard radius of the
fireworks barge, which will be anchored in approximate position
38[deg]47'12.07'' N, 075[deg]07'48.89'' W. This rule is needed to
protect persons, vessels and the public within the safety zone during
the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on the waters of
Delaware Bay off Lewes, DE during a fireworks display from a barge. The
event is scheduled to take place from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4,
2018. The safety zone will extend 350 yards around the barge, which
will be anchored at approximate position 38[deg]47'12.07'' N,
075[deg]07'48.89'' W. No person or vessel will be permitted to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP Delaware Bay or a designated
representative. If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain within the safety zone is granted by the COTP Delaware Bay or
a designated representative, all persons and vessels receiving such
authorization must comply with the instructions of the COTP Delaware
Bay or a designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide public
notice of the safety zone by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice
to Mariners, and by on-scene actual notice from designated
representatives. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the
end of this document.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel
owner or operator for the following reasons: (1) Although persons and
vessels may not enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
safety zone without authorization from the COTP Delaware Bay or a
designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding area
during the enforcement period; (2) persons and vessels will still be
able to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area if authorized by the COTP Delaware Bay or a designated
representative; and (3) the Coast Guard will provide advance
notification of the safety zone to the local maritime community by
Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, or by on-scene
actual notice from designated representatives.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions

with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves
a safety zone that will prohibit persons and vessels from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within a limited area on
the navigable water in the Delaware Bay, during a fireworks display
lasting approximately one hour. This rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of
DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration (REC) supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

    Abstract: The USEPA Office of Research and Development is
investigating public values for scenarios of change for perennial
reaches of the effluent-dominated Santa Cruz River, Arizona. These
values will be estimated via a willingness to pay mail survey
instrument. There are two effluent-dominated perennial reaches
considered in the survey. A ``South'' reach starts at an outfall in Rio
Rico, AZ, and flows northward through Tumac[aacute]cori National
Historical Park. A ``North'' reach is fed by two outfalls in northwest
Tucson, Arizona, flows northwest through Marana, AZ. For each of the
South and North reaches, two different scenarios of change are
considered. The first is a reduction in flow length, and associated
decreases in cottonwood-willow riparian forest, a rare forest type in
the region. The second is an increase in water quality to allow full
contact recreation, such as submersion, at normal flow levels. The
baseline flow length and forest acreages, as well as the acreages of
forest that would be associated with reduced flow lengths, are derived
from natural science research. For the survey, a choice experiment
framework is used with statistically designed tradeoff questions.
Options to maintain flow length and forest, or increase effluent water
quality, are posed as increases in a yearly household tax. Each choice
question allows a zero cost ``opt out'' option. The choice experiment
is designed to allow isolation of the public value of each marginal
change for each reach. A few additional questions to further understand
respondent choice motivations, as well as their river-related
recreation behavior, are also included. Several pages of background
introduce the issue to respondents. A small number of sociodemographic
questions are included to gauge how well the sample respondents
represent the target population. Samples of the two major metropolitan
areas in southern Arizona, Phoenix and Tucson, will receive the survey.
The primary reason for the survey is public value research. The Santa
Cruz River is a case study of a waterway highly impacted by human
modifications. However it still represents potentially valuable
ecological commodities such as rare riparian habitat and recreational
opportunities for the regional population. The survey results may also
be informative to local decision-makers considering Santa Cruz River
management options. Water scarcity in the region raises periodic
debates on the best uses of effluent. All survey responses will be kept
confidential.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: The target respondents for this
survey are representatives 18 yrs or older of households in the two
most populated urban areas of Arizona, the Phoenix metro area, and the
Tucson metro area. A sample of household representatives 18 yrs or
older in each metro area will be contacted by mail following multiple
contact protocol in Dillman (2009). A response rate of 30% will be
targeted. To increase response rates from the sample, several contacts
will be used, including a prenotice to all recipients, a reminder
postcard, and followup mailing as needed.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: The target responses from the
Phoenix and Tucson metro areas is 250 households each, or 500
households total.
    Frequency of response: One-time response.
    Total estimated burden: For a typical respondent, a conservative
estimate of their time to review and respond to survey questions is 30
minutes. Assuming the target of 500 people total respond to the survey,
the burden is 250 hours.
    Total estimated cost: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports
average wage rates for some metropolitan areas, with the most recent
data being May 2011 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011). The average
hourly wage for all occupations in the Phoenix metro area was $21.61,
or an average cost per participant of $10.81. The average hourly wage
for all occupations in the Tucson metro area was $20.55, or an average
cost per participant of $10.28. Assuming 250 participants in each metro
area fill out the survey, the total estimated respondent labor cost is
$5,270. This would be a one-time expenditure of their time.
    Changes in Estimates: This is the first notice, there is no change
in estimates at this time.

Access to Confidential Business Information by Eastern Research
Group and Its Identified Subcontractor, Energy Services, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has authorized its contractor, Eastern Research Group

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.''
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule because the event would occur before the
rulemaking process would be completed. Because of the dangers posed by
the helicopters operating under heavy loads in close proximity to power
lines, the safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of
helicopters, mariners, and other vessels transiting the area. For the
safety concerns noted, it is in the public interest to have these
regulations in effect during the event.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. The Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication because to do otherwise would be contrary to the public
interest since immediate action is required to protect helicopters,
mariners and vessels transiting the area.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1,
6.04-6, 160.5; Pub. L. 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1 which, collectively, authorize the Coast
Guard to establish safety zones.
    Pacific Gas and Electric Company will sponsor the Sacramento River
Closure for Aerial Cable Installation on July 11, 2012 through July 13,
2012, in the navigable waters of the Sacramento River near Sherman
Island, CA. Aerial operations to install the cable are scheduled to
take place from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 11, 2012 through July 13,
2012. Upon commencement of the aerial operations, the safety zone will
encompass the navigable waters around and under the Sacramento River
within 200 yards of a line connecting the following points:
38[deg]04'15'' N, 121[deg]47'20'' W; 38[deg]03'38'' N, 121[deg]46'58''

W (NAD 83). The aerial cable installation is necessary to reinstall the
cable that broke on October 19, 2011. The replacement cable is a non-
electrical support cable that holds aircraft warning devices on a
Pacific Gas and Electric high voltage electrical transmission line. The
safety zone is issued to establish a temporary restricted area on the
waters surrounding the installation operation. The safety zone is
necessary to provide for the safety of helicopters, mariners, and other
vessels transiting the area from the dangers associated with
helicopters operating under heavy loads in close proximity to power
lines.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone in navigable waters
around and under the Sacramento River within 200 yards of a line
connecting the points 38[deg]04'15'' N, 121[deg]47'20'' W and
38[deg]03'38'' N, 121[deg]46'58'' W (NAD 83) during the aerial cable
installation. Aerial operations to install the cable between the towers
located adjacent the Sacramento River in positions 38[deg]04'15'' N,
121[deg]47'20'' W and 38[deg]03'38'' N, 121[deg]46'58'' W (NAD 83) are
scheduled to take place from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 11, 2012 through
July 13, 2012. At the conclusion of the aerial operations the safety
zone shall terminate.
    The effect of the temporary safety zone will be to restrict
navigation in the vicinity of the aerial cable installation operation.
Except for persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the restricted
area. These regulations are needed to keep mariners and vessels away
from the immediate vicinity of the aerial installation to ensure the
safety of helicopters, mariners, and other vessels transiting the area.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this rule does not rise to the
level of necessitating a full Regulatory Evaluation. The safety zone is
limited in duration, and is limited to a narrowly tailored geographic
area. In addition, although this rule restricts access to the waters
encompassed by the safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because the local waterway users will be notified via
public Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure the safety zone will
result in minimum impact. The entities most likely to be affected are
waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged
in recreational activities.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule may affect owners and operators of waterfront
facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in
recreational activities and sightseeing. This rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for several reasons: (i) This rule will encompass only a small portion
of the waterway for a limited period of time, and (ii) the maritime
public will be advised in advance of this safety zone via Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above. Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not an economically significant
rule and does not create an environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that may disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety zone of limited size and
duration. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this
rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The following sections describe who uses the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. Consistent with the
authority of section 21 of the OSH Act, the agency created two
educational programs, the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education
Centers Program and the OSHA Outreach Training Program (Outreach).
    To be a participant in the OTI Education Centers Programs or the
Outreach Training Program, an individual/organization must provide the
agency with certain information. The requested information is necessary
to evaluate the applicant organization and to implement, oversee, and
monitor the OTI Education Centers and Outreach Training Programs
courses and trainers. The eleven collection of information requirements
are listed below.
    1. Application to become an OSHA Training Institute Education
Center (OTI Education Center).
    2. OTI Education Centers Monthly Summary Report for the OTI
Education Centers and the Outreach Training Program Monthly Summary
Report;
    3. Statement of Compliance with Outreach Training Program
Requirements;
    4. Outreach Training Program Report Forms (includes Construction,
General Industry, Maritime, and Disaster Site);
    5. Online Outreach Training Program Report;
    6. Active Trainer List;
    7. OSHA Training Institute Student Survey (OSHA Form 49 11-05
Edition) (OMB 1225-0059) (Attachment I, OSHA Form 49 11-05 Edition).
    8. Attendance Documentation for OTI Education Centers;
    9. Outreach Online Training Certification Statement
    10. Instructor and Staff Resumes (this includes anyone who may be
assigned to conduct OSHA classes, contractor, subcontractor, employee,
adjunct professor, etc.; and
    11. Course Material upon Request by OSHA from OTI Education
Centers.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions to
protect workers, including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection, and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Requirements for the OSHA

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59608; File No. SR-NYSE-2009-31]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule
Change by New York Stock Exchange LLC Amending the Listed Company
Manual Section 902.08 To Establish an Initial Listing Fee and an Annual
Listing Fee for Securities Listed Under Section 102.03 and Traded on
the NYSE Bonds System

March 19, 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 March 16, 2009, 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 the Listed Company Manual (the
``Manual'') Section 902.08 to establish an initial listing fee and an
annual listing fee for all securities listed under Section 102.03 and
traded on NYSE BondsSM system (``NYSE Bonds''). The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (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
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Listed Company Manual (the
``Manual'') Section 902.08 to establish an initial listing fee and an
annual listing fee for all securities listed under Section 102.03 and
traded on NYSE BondsSM system (``NYSE Bonds''). Specifically, the
Exchange seeks to implement an initial listing fee of $5,000 and an
annual listing fee of $5,000 for the securities listed in Section
102.03 of the Manual.

I. Background

    Currently, the Exchange imposes a $15,000 listing fee for bonds and
other fixed income debt securities that list on the Exchange pursuant
to Section 102.03 of the Manual. Specifically, the Exchange charges the
$15,000 listing fee to non-NYSE issuers.
    NYSE issuers, however, are not charged any listing fee for these
bonds and other fixed income debt securities. In November 2006, the
Exchange filed a proposed rule change establishing rules for the
trading of unlisted debt securities on NYSE Bonds.\4\ Specifically,
this filing established NYSE Rules 1400 and 1401 in connection with the
NYSE Exemption Request. As a result of the November 2006 rule filing,
NYSE issuers were permitted to trade their unlisted bonds on the
Exchange. Non-NYSE issuers, however, would not be permitted to trade
their bonds on NYSE Bonds unless they were listed on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Release No. 54767 (November 16,
2006), 71 FR 67680 (November 22, 2006) (SR-NYSE-04-69).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Proposed Amendments

    The Exchange now proposes to amend the listing fees for NYSE and
non-NYSE issuers. Under amended Section 902.08 of the Manual, the
initial listing fee for non-NYSE issuers of bonds and other fixed
income debt securities that list on the Exchange pursuant to Section
102.03 of the Manual will be a flat fee of $5,000. The annual listing
fee for these bonds and other fixed income debt securities will also be
$5,000.00. If an NYSE issuer opts to have its bonds or other fixed
income debt securities listed on the Exchange, the NYSE issuer will be
subject to the $5,000 initial listing fee and $5,000 annual listing
fee. These fees will cover administrative and regulatory costs incurred
by the Exchange. If an NYSE issuer does not choose to have its bonds or
other fixed income debt securities listed on the Exchange, then the
NYSE issuer is exempt from paying any listing fees but may still trade
its bonds on the Exchange.
    Because revenue is needed to pay for the operation and regulation
of these listings, the Exchange has determined that the proposed $5,000
initial and $5,000 annual listing fees provide an attractive pricing
strategy to its customers and is sufficient for covering the Exchange's
costs to provide its services to the issuers.
    U.S. Government issues are exempt from securities registration
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Because these U.S.
Government issues are not subject to the Acts' listing requirements,
the Exchange is not required to perform an administrative and
regulatory review of these listed bonds. Accordingly, U.S. Government
issues will continue to list on the Exchange free of charge, as set
forth in Section 902.08 of the Manual.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 \5\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \6\ in general and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members
and other persons using its facilities. The

Exchange believes that the proposed initial and annual listing fees for
all securities listed under Section 102.03 and traded on NYSE Bonds are
reasonable to cover the costs incurred for the administrative and
regulatory services provided by the Exchange. These fees are applicable
to both NYSE and non-NYSE issuers that seek to have their Section
102.03 bonds or securities listed on the Exchange.

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

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve the proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
