[Docket No. FAA-2020-0610; Airspace Docket No. 19-ANE-1]
RIN 2120-AA66

Subdivision of Restricted Area R-4101; Camp Edwards, MA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies restricted area R-4101 at Camp Edwards,
MA, by vertically subdividing the area into R-4101A, R-4101B, and R-
4101C. Currently, R-4101 extends from the surface to 9,000 feet MSL.
The FAA is taking this action to allow for more efficient use of the
airspace during periods when military activities do not require the
full vertical extent of restricted area R-4101. The modifications are
fully contained within the existing lateral and vertical limits of R-
4101. The activities conducted in the airspace are unchanged.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, November 5, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Rules and Regulations
Group, Office of Policy, Federal Aviation Administration, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-
8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority since it vertically subdivides the restricted airspace at
Camp Edwards, MA, into three sections to enable more efficient use of
airspace.

Background

    Restricted area R-4101 at Camp Edwards, MA, currently extends from
the surface to 9,000 feet MSL. The time of designation for the area is
``From 0600 to 1800 local time, daily, or other times as specified by
NOTAM issued 48 hours in advance.''
    An FAA review of the utilization reports for R-4101 revealed that
most activities being conducted only require restricted airspace up to
2,500 feet MSL. Less frequent activities are conducted that require
restricted airspace up to 5,000 feet MSL, and 9,000 feet MSL,
respectively.
    To provide for more efficient use of airspace, the FAA and the
using agency agreed to subdivide R-4101 vertically into three areas: R-
4101A extending from the surface to but not including 2,500 feet MSL;
R-4101B extending from 2,500 feet MSL to but not including 5,000 feet
MSL; and R-4101C extending from 5,000 feet MSL to 9,000 feet MSL. The
new configuration

enables activation of restricted airspace to the lower altitude
required for the majority of the using agency's training needs while
maintaining the ability to activate additional restricted airspace for
missions that require higher altitudes.
    These changes will accommodate the using agency's requirements
while releasing unneeded restricted airspace for access by other users.
The lateral boundaries of the restricted airspace, the overall vertical
limits, and the activities conducted within the airspace are unchanged.

The Rule

    This rule amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part
73 by subdividing the R-4101 at Camp Edwards, MA, into three areas: R-
4101A extending from the surface to but not including 2,500 feet MSL;
R-4101B extending from 2,500 feet MSL to but not including 5,000 feet
MSL; and R-4101C extending from 5,000 feet MSL to 9,000 feet MSL. The
time of designation for R-4101A and B remains the same as currently
designated for R-4101: ``From 0600 to 1800 local time, daily, or other
times as specified by NOTAM issued 48 hours in advance.'' The time of
designation for R-4101C, due to its less frequent utilization, is ``By
NOTAM issued 48 hours in advance.'' The changes are fully contained
within the existing lateral and vertical dimensions of R-4101, and the
activities conducted within the restricted areas are unchanged.
    These changes enhance the efficient use of the National Airspace
System by providing for: Activation of the minimum amount of restricted
airspace needed for the specific mission being conducted; releasing
unneeded restricted airspace for access by other users; and, more
clearly informing the public of when to expect activation of the
restricted airspace.
    In addition, the modifications do not change the current lateral
boundaries, overall designated altitudes, or activities conducted
within the restricted areas; therefore, I find that notice and public
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of modifying restricted
area R-4101 at Camp Edwards, MA, by vertically subdividing the area
into R-4101A, R-4101B, and R-4101C, qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing
regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-
6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact
review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace
areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71,
Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic
Service Routes; and Reporting Points). This action also qualifies for
FAA categorical exclusion under paragraph 5-6.5d, which categorically
excludes from further environmental impact review ``Modification of the
technical description of special use airspace (SUA) that does not alter
the dimensions, altitudes, or times of designation of the airspace
(such as changes in designation of the controlling or using agency, or
correction of typographical errors).'' As such, this action is not
expected to result in any potentially significant environmental
impacts. A separate categorical exclusion declaration document citing
the applicability of FAA categorical exclusion 5-6.5d was signed on May
21, 2020. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.

``Waters of the United States''

AGENCY: Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, Department of
Defense; and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of events; extension of deadline request for
nominations.

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

SUMMARY: On October 13, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the U.S. Department of the Army (hereafter, ``the agencies'')
signed a Federal Register publication and publicly announced a process
for stakeholders to submit nomination letters with a slate of
participants to potentially be selected as one of ten geographically
focused roundtables to provide input on the regional implications of
``waters of the United States'' (WOTUS) under the Clean Water Act. The
intent for each regional roundtable is to engage individuals
representing diverse perspectives in meaningful dialogue on the
definition of ``waters of the United States.'' This Federal Register
document was published on October 25, 2021. In response to robust
interest in these roundtables, the agencies are extending the deadline
for nominations to be submitted to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on
December 1, 2021. In addition, the agencies are providing certain
clarifications regarding the nomination process.

DATES: Nomination letters for the roundtables must be received on or
before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 1, 2021. As a
result of the deadline extension, EPA anticipates roundtables will be
held in early 2022. Specific dates will be coordinated with selected
nominees based on availability. Please refer to the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section for additional information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Balasa, Office of Water,
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20460; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
[email protected], or Stacey Jensen, Office of the Assistant
Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, Department of the Army, 108 Army
Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310-0104; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to robust interest in and
certain inquiries regarding the regional roundtables on ``waters of the
United States'' announced on October 13, 2021, the agencies are
extending the deadline for submitting nominations and providing
clarifications.
    The Federal Register publication published on October 25, 2021 (86
FR 58829) states: ``On June 9, 2021, [the agencies] announced their
intent to revise the definition of `waters of the United States' under
the Clean Water Act through two rulemakings--first, a foundational rule
that will propose to restore longstanding protections, and a second
rulemaking process that builds on that regulatory foundation. . . . The

agencies are seeking input on a durable definition of `waters of the
United States' not limited to the scope of the regulatory processes
announced on June 9, 2021.'' The agencies offer the following
clarification. During the regional roundtables, the agencies anticipate
discussing issues related to ``waters of the United States'' that will
be applicable to the agencies' second rulemaking. The regional
roundtables will serve as one part of a robust pre-proposal outreach
and engagement strategy--including but not limited to consultation and
engagement with state and tribal co-regulators--to gain an
understanding of the scope of potential issues to address in the second
rulemaking.
    The October 25, 2021 Federal Register document also states: ``The
agencies are inviting stakeholders to organize interested parties and
regional participants that comprise up to 15 representatives for these
roundtables.'' The agencies offer the following clarification. The
agencies are requesting that stakeholders or organizations nominate an
entire group of no more than 15 people (including the organizer) who
represent diverse perspectives. Individuals should not nominate
themselves alone to the agencies.
    The document also states: ``Each nomination for a roundtable must
include a proposed slate of participants representing perspectives of:
Agriculture; conservation groups; developers; drinking water/wastewater
management; environmental organizations; environmental justice
communities; industry; and other key interests in that region.'' The
agencies offer the following clarification. The agencies will consider
nominations that lack representation from one or more of the named
stakeholder groups. However, the agencies will give more weight in the
selection process to those nominations that include stakeholders
representing a more robust and wider range of perspectives.
    The Federal Register document also stated: ``The agencies
anticipate coordinating with elected officials that represent the
location of selected roundtables.'' The agencies offer the following
clarification. The agencies' intent is to coordinate with relevant
states, tribes, and Alaska Native Villages regarding potential
participation in selected roundtables.
    The Federal Register document further stated: ``EPA cannot hold in-
person public meetings at this time. The agencies will host these
roundtables virtually. . . . The agencies also intend to livestream
each roundtable to make them available for public viewing.'' The
agencies offer the following clarification. Information on how to
access the livestream will be posted on the agencies' websites once the
roundtable dates/times have been established.
    Additionally, the Federal Register document did not include
information on roundtable agenda, format, or logistics. The agencies
would like to clarify that roundtables will be run by a facilitator and
will be scheduled for no more than two and a half hours in duration.
    Additionally, the agencies will coordinate with roundtable
organizers on further implementation planning once roundtables are
selected.

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

    BX is filing this proposed rule change to amend Rule 4618. The text
of the proposed rule change is below. Proposed new language is
italicized; proposed deletions are in brackets.

4618. Clearance and Settlement

    (a) All transactions through the facilities of the NASDAQ OMX BX
Equities Market shall be cleared and settled through a registered
clearing agency using a continuous net settlement system. This
requirement may be satisfied by direct participation, use of direct
clearing services, [or] by entry into a correspondent clearing
arrangement with another member that clears trades through such
a[n]clearing agency[.], or by use of the services of CDS Clearing
and Depository Services, Inc. in its capacity as a member of such a
clearing agency.

    (b) No change.

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 Exchange 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 these 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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    BX proposes to modify Rule 4618 to clarify that the use of a long-
standing arrangement between National Securities Clearing Corporation
(``NSCC'') and CDS Clearing and Depository Services, Inc. (``CDS'') \6\
for clearing transactions in U.S. securities provides an acceptable
method for clearing transactions executed on BX. Among other things,
CDS operates Canada's national clearance and settlement operations for
cash equities trading, performing a role analogous to NSCC in the U.S.
CDS is regulated by the Ontario and Quebec securities commissions and
the Bank of Canada, with working and reporting relationships with the
Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), other Canadian provincial
securities commissions, and the Canadian Office of the Superintendent
of Financial Institutions. CDS is also a full service member of NSCC
and a participant in the Depository Trust Company (``DTC'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ CDS was formerly known as The Canadian Depository for
Securities Limited.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, a Canadian broker-dealer seeking to buy or sell U.S.
securities may do so through a U.S. registered broker-dealer with which
it establishes a relationship for that purpose. In such a relationship,
the U.S. broker-dealer manages the clearance and settlement of the
resulting trades, either through direct membership at NSCC or
indirectly through a clearing broker with which it has established a
relationship. Under the proposed change, a Canadian broker-dealer that
is a member of CDS may make use of CDS, and its direct membership in
NSCC, to clear and settle the resulting trades. Specifically, the
clearing report for the trade will ``lock in'' CDS, with reference to
the CDS membership of the Canadian broker-dealer, as a party to the
trade.\7\ NSCC then looks to CDS for satisfaction of clearance and
settlement obligations of the Canadian broker-dealer. NSCC requires CDS
to commit collateral to the NSCC clearing fund like any other NSCC
member, the amount of which is based on a risk-based margining
methodology. In a similar manner, CDS requires its participants to
commit collateral to CDS. The sole risk incurred by BX and then by NSCC
in the arrangement is the highly remote risk that CDS itself might
default on its obligations to clear and settle on behalf of the
Canadian broker-dealer. This risk is conceptually indistinguishable
from the risk of a clearing broker default; moreover, because the value
of Canadian trades cleared through the mechanism is likely to be small
in comparison to the values cleared through many large U.S. clearing
brokers, the magnitude of this risk is correspondingly smaller.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ As an NSCC member, CDS is responsible for the settling and
clearing of its participants' trades conducted with U.S. broker-
dealers. For purposes of ``locking-in'' parties, certain CDS
participants have discrete NSCC participant codes that identify the
Canadian broker-dealer and its participation in the NSCC/CDS
clearing arrangement. On midnight of T+1, NSCC takes on the buyer's
credit risk and the seller's delivery risk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The relationship between NSCC and CDS was established more than two
decades ago, and various aspects of the

relationship have been recognized through several prior filings \8\ and
no-action letters,\9\ as well as a recent similar filing by The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC.\10\ A recent description of the parameters of the
relationship may be found in NSCC's Assessment of Compliance with the
CPSS/IOSCO Recommendations for Central Counterparties.\11\ The most
prominent use of the relationship arises under FINRA Rule 7220A, which
allows over-the-counter trades executed on behalf of CDS members to be
reported through the FINRA/NASDAQ Trade Reporting Facility and cleared
through the CDS/NSCC relationship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 36918 (March 4,
1996), 61 FR 9739 (March 11, 1996) (SR-NASD-95-49) (approving access
to Automated Confirmation Transaction Service for CDS members);
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 40523 (October 6, 1998), 63 FR
54739 (October 13, 1998) (approving establishment of a CDS omnibus
account at DTC to facilitate cross-border clearing).
    \9\ See Letter from Dan W. Schneider, Deputy Associate Director,
Commission, to Karen L. Saperstein, Assistant General Counsel, NSCC
(November 26, 1984) (available at 1984 WL 47355) (taking no-action
position with respect to use of CDS and NSCC with respect to
clearing of trades executed on behalf of Canadian broker-dealers on
the Boston Stock Exchange); Letter from Dan W. Schneider, Deputy
Associate Director, Commission, to Karen L. Saperstein, Assistant
General Counsel, NSCC (October 24, 1984) (available at 1984 WL
47356) (taking no-action position with respect to CDS becoming a
member of NSCC).

Recommendations for Central Counterparties,'' NSCC (November 14,
2011) (available at http://www.dtcc.com/legal/compliance/NSCC_Self_Assessment.pdf).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to clearly establish that use of the CDS/NSCC relationship
is a permissible method of clearing transactions executed on BX, BX is
proposing to amend Rule 4618. Currently, the rule provides that trades
must be cleared through a registered clearing agency using a continuous
net settlement (``CNS'') system, and that this requirement may be
satisfied by direct participation, use of direct clearing services, or
by entry into a correspondent clearing arrangement with another member
that clears trades through such an agency. NSCC is currently the only
registered clearing agency using a CNS system for trades executed on
BX. While it is possible that the term ``direct clearing services''
could be construed to cover CDS's participation in NSCC on behalf of
its members--because CDS is a direct member of NSCC for the purpose of
providing clearing services to its members--the term has not previously
been construed by BX in that manner. Accordingly, BX believes that the
clarity of the rule would be enhanced by directly recognizing the CDS/
NSCC relationship in the rule text. BX proposes amending the rule to
provide that the rule may be satisfied through ``use of the services of
CDS Clearing and Depository Services, Inc. in its capacity as a member
of such a clearing agency.'' Whenever a clearing arrangement making use
of CDS's membership in NSCC is established, NSCC will require the BX
member, the Canadian broker on whose behalf it is acting, CDS, and BX
to sign a short agreement, to be addressed to NSCC, in which the
parties acknowledge their use of the CDS/NSCC arrangement.
2. Statutory Basis
    BX believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\12\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\13\ in particular, in that the proposal 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 regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. Specifically, by allowing
Canadian broker-dealers whose trades are executed on BX to make use of
the long-standing arrangement between NSCC and CDS for clearing
transactions, BX believes that the proposed rule change will directly
foster cooperation and coordination with the two primary North American
cash equities clearinghouses and their respective members, thereby
promoting a free and open market. Because the arrangement between NSCC
and CDS--which has been in place, in varying forms, for over two
decades--includes mechanisms to provide for the collateralization of
the obligations arising thereunder, BX believes that the proposed
change is fully consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest.

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    BX does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The proposed change
will ensure that Canadian broker-dealers whose trades are executed on
BX are able to make use of an additional available option for clearing
such transactions, thereby promoting competition with respect to the
availability of clearing services.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \14\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder
\15\ 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. At any time within
60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission
summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

    Abstract: EPA uses contractors to perform services throughout the
nation with regard to environmental emergencies involving the release
or threatened release of oil, radioactive materials or hazardous
chemicals that may potentially affect communities and the surrounding
environment. The Agency may request contractors responding to any of
these types of incidents to conduct background checks and apply
government-established suitability criteria in Title 5 of the CFR
(Administrative Personnel), Sections 731.104 (Appointments Subject to
Investigation), 732.201 (Sensitivity Level Designations and
Investigative Requirements), and 736.102 (Notice to Investigative
Sources), when determining whether employees are acceptable to perform
on given sites or on specific projects. In addition to emergency
response contractors, EPA may require background checks for contractor
personnel working in sensitive sites or sensitive projects. The
background checks and application of the government's suitability
criteria must be completed prior to contract employee performance. The
contractor shall maintain records associated with all background
checks. Background checks cover citizenship or valid visa status,
criminal convictions, weapons offenses, felony convictions, and parties
prohibited from receiving federal contracts.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Private Contractors.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit under 5 CFR 731.104, 732.201 and 736.102.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,000.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 1,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $190,900 (per year), which includes no
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 450 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This is an adjustment to correct an error made when
the current ICR was approved. While the currently approved supporting
statement included 1,000 burden hours, this number was incorrectly
entered into OMB's system as 450 hours. The correct hour burden, 1,000
hours, has not changed.
