Talking Points Summarizing PSG Comments on EPA’s Consideration of
Perchlorate for the CCL 2 Regulatory Determinations

August 16,2007

EPA has been able to compile a wealth of data on health effects,
exposure (both biomonitoring and food), and occurrence that should now
allow the Agency to move forward with a preliminary determination on
perchlorate.

EPA’s RfD is Constructed to Protect the Most Sensitive Subpopulations

EPA’s reference dose (RfD) 0.0007 mg/kg per day provides a safe level
that is very protective of all populations, including those identified
by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) as the most sensitive.

First, the NAS panel departed from EPA’s traditional methodology and
relied on a more health-protective approach in its recommended RfD.

EPA’s traditional methodology bases the RfD upon an adverse effect
using either the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) or the Lowest
Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL).

The NAS panel based its recommended RfD on a nonadverse event, the No
Observed Effect Level (NOEL).  EPA’s IRIS database also notes this in
stating, “Because this NOEL is for a nonadverse effect, this is
considered to be a more conservative and health-protective approach than
traditional hazard assessments.”  (EPA Integrated Risk Information
System (IRIS) database, p. 6).

Second, the NAS panel applied a full intraspecies factor of 10 to the
NOEL to protect even the most sensitive populations.

The NAS panel concluded that fetuses and preterm newborns were the most
sensitive populations, but also recognized that infants and developing
children were also sensitive populations that would also be afforded
protection by the recommended RfD.

Children and Neonates Protected by EPA’s RfD

Some have argued that other sensitive populations such as nursing
infants or young children are of greater concern and were not considered
by the NAS panel.  FDA’s preliminary food data and exposure assessment
as well as the NHANES data predict and show that children receive a
higher dose of perchlorate than adults.

A recent study has reaffirmed the NAS panel’s conclusion that fetus is
the most sensitive population of concern and are more sensitive than
other groups including children.

Clewell et al., (2007) used PBPK modeling allowing the authors to
predict iodide and perchlorate kinetics in the human starting from fetal
life through adulthood.

PBPK modeling has been found to be useful in reducing uncertainty and in
filling scientific gaps in human health data on a substance.

The NAS perchlorate panel agreed with EPA in finding PBPK modeling
useful in determining human equivalent exposures.  The above model also
adopts the parallelogram approach found to be acceptable for use both by
EPA and the NAS panel.

EPA research personnel have co-authored previous versions of this PBPK
study related to perchlorate.

Using perinatal rat models, published physiological parameters, and
chemical-specific parameters based upon a parallelogram approach, the
model was able to predict both iodide kinetics and serum perchlorate
concentrations.

The study finds that, at a given dose, the pregnant and lactating woman,
fetus, and nursing infant would have higher perchlorate serum
concentrations and greater thyroid iodide uptake inhibition (IUI) than
the nonpregnant adult or older child.

Given the same dose, children will have serum perchlorate levels eight
to ten times lower than fetuses and neonates.  They will also have ½
the serum dose of adults.

Under the model, the fetus had higher perchlorate doses than the mother.
 Neonates were shown to have higher doses than the mother for low
external doses; however, the opposite was true for higher external
doses, which the authors believe is the result of the mammary NIS.

The study also found that while the fetus was predicted to receive the
greatest dose, the predicted extent of IUI at environmentally relevant
doses was not significant (1 percent at a dose 40 percent greater than
EPA’s RfD).

The study looks at predicted serum perchlorate levels across life stages
and finds that at various external perchlorate doses, fetal dose is
higher than the corresponding doses for the neonate, child, and
nonpregnant adult.  Increased perchlorate levels during this timeframe
were found to cause higher predicted inhibition.

The study estimates that a maternal dose of 0.01 mg/kg per day would be
required to achieve 10% fetal inhibition -- a level 30 times higher than
EPA’s RfD.

Therefore, even if the child had a larger dose than the fetus, the child
would only have 3 percent IUI.  This level is essentially
indistinguishable from the 4 percent IUI estimated for adults.

Put another way, if a child is exposed to the RfD dose in drinking water
and the 90th percentile dose from food consumption, the estimated IUI is
0.3 percent.

EPA’s RfD Protective of Women with Low Iodine Levels

The publication of a study associating higher perchlorate concentrations
with lower levels of thyroid hormones in women has raised concerns that
the NAS and EPA’s RfD is not sufficiently protective of certain
subpopulations.   While further validation should be done to cure the
study’s known limitations, the findings support EPA’s RfD as being
protective of the population.

The non-profit group, Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA),
has some noteworthy commentary on the conclusions in the Blount et al.,
(2006) (or “Blount 2006b”) thyroid association study.

Using the data and regression curves from Blount et al. (2006), TERA
showed that doses up to 1,000 times higher than the U.S. EPA perchlorate
reference dose (i.e., 0.45 - 0.68 mg/kg-day) will be required in even
iodine deficient women to raise serum TSH values to the upper limit of
the normal range.

,700 μg/L is required, and to result in 1 percent of the population at
that abnormal level or higher, a urinary perchlorate level of 31,420
μg/L is required. Assuming that all urinary perchlorate arrives from
oral exposure, a urinary excretion rate of 1 L/day (a lower end of daily
adult urine excretion amount of 1-2 L/day), and a 70 kg body weight,
these urinary perchlorate levels are roughly equivalent to perchlorate
doses of 0.68 mg/kg-day and 0.45 mg/kg-day, respectively. These doses
are consistent with other human studies that demonstrate that doses of
0.5 mg/kg-day have no effect on thyroid hormone levels of normal,
healthy adults. These doses are also well above EPA’s current RfD of
0.0007 mg/kg-day.

Using these assumptions, the average urinary perchlorate level in the
population, 2.84 μg/L, is roughly equivalent to an oral perchlorate
dose of 0.00004 mg/kg-day and 100 times lower than the dose in humans
that is known to have no effect on inhibition of iodide uptake (Greer et
al. 2002; NRC 2005). Therefore, while the associations between urinary
perchlorate and serum TSH and T4 observed in the paper are consistent
with perchlorate’s mode of action, they are not consistent with the
body of literature evaluating the effect of perchlorate dose on thyroid
changes.

TERA observes:

 In addition to the statistically significant relationship between serum
TSH and urinary perchlorate in women, regardless of dietary iodine
status, a statistically significant relationship also exists with body
mass index and age in iodine sufficient women, and with betablocker use
and premenarche in iodine deficient women. In addition to the
statistically significant relationship between serum T4 and urinary
perchlorate in iodine deficient women, and between serum T4 and urinary
nitrate in iodine sufficient women, a statistically significant
relationship also exists with menopause and total calorie intake in
iodine deficient women.

 of 1.64 μg/dL in serum T4 concentrations associated with an increase
of urinary perchlorate from the 5th percentile to 95th percentile (0.19
to 13 μg/L) is a potentially sizable change, because the study is
cross-sectional, the positive relationship between urinary perchlorate
and serum TSH and T4 only suggests a significant association. The
statistically significant associations for the other independent
variables are also “real”; thus, the study suggests that thyroid
function is complex, not that perchlorate caused the observed increase
in TSH or decrease in T4.

Since these other factors also play a role, a constellation of important
factors could alter the dose-response curve and for this reason the
quantitative use of the Blount et al. and NHANES data should proceed
very cautiously. Additional work is needed to determine whether some
unknown factor associated with perchlorate exposure, but not the factors
examined in this study, might be the cause of the observed changes in
TSH and T4.

Further, the study’s impact is limited since it conflicts with the
extensive scientific record comprised of numerous, peer-reviewed studies
that show perchlorate has no measurable effect at low levels.  There is
no plausible biological mechanism that has been advanced that can be
tested in a scientific manner.

In addition to those above, other recent publications continue to
validate EPA’s RfD as health protective to which the Agency should
give due consideration.

Crump and Gibbs 2005

Tellez et al., 2005

Gibbs 2006

Ting et al., 2006

Pearce et al., 2007.

Several limitations of Blount 2006b have been noted, including those
noted by the American Thyroid Association and NAS presenter Dr. Jonathan
Borak:

First, the findings of Blount 2006b are not suitable to show cause.

Second, the analysis is only a cross-sectional association study,
whereas the studies relied on by the NAS panel were based on
partially-controlled human perchlorate exposure, a more authoritative
form of scientific inquiry.

Third, the study measures total T4, not free T4.

Fourth, due to other missing data, perchlorate could be a surrogate for
an unknown variable.  While Blount et al. show that urinary perchlorate
levels predict serum T4 and TSH in women with low urinary iodine, they
also find that up to eight other independent variables also predict
serum T4 and TSH in women with low urinary iodine. Blount et al. also do
not address the adversity or biological significance of the predicted
serum hormone changes.

Fifth, the effects of all goitrogens on iodide uptake inhibition (IUI)
should be similar in direction and additive in magnitude; however, the
effects of the substances on IUI were found to be inconsistent in
Blount.

With this Level of Health Protection, EPA Can Rely on the Enormous
Scientific Data on Perchlorate for the Determination

Occurrence Data

Recent biomonitoring studies confirm that perchlorate is ubiquitous in
the US population at doses well below EPA’s reference dose (RfD).
Drinking water exposure accounts for only a fraction of this measured
level.

Occurrence data reveals that perchlorate levels have significantly
declined over the last several years.

The California Department Health Services 2006 Monitoring Update shows a
significant decline in the number of detections.

Monthly sampling data from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD) shows average annual perchlorate levels have declined
steadily from greater than 6 µg/L in 2000 to nondetects in 2007.

The occurrence data analysis in EPA’s notice involves the inclusion of
those water systems where only one detection was experienced during the
entire UCMR sampling period.

Potentially results in a population estimate with less accuracy for use
in determining number of people impacted.

Goes beyond the recommendations of the NDWAC:

In its recommendations to the Agency, the National Drinking Water
Advisory Council (NDWAC) stated that EPA should consider: (1) the actual
and estimated national percent of [Public Water Systems] PWSs reporting
detections above half the health reference level: (2) the actual and
estimated national percent of PWSs with detections above the health
reference level; and (3) the geographic distribution of the contaminant.

Should EPA continue to use this approach, for purposes of determining
population impacts, the Agency should consider counting only that
proportion of the entire water system’s population served by the entry
point(s) experiencing the detect.  Thus, in situations where there’s
one entry point showing detect(s), only a percentage of the entire water
system’s population should be used equivalent to the percentage of the
number of entry points showing detects to the overall number of entry
points.  (i.e., if a water system has 5 entry points, and only one has
a detect, then only 20% of the population served by the water system
should be used by EPA – 1 entry point of 5 entry points = 20% or 20%
of the entire water system’s population).

EPA Options/Considerations for Moving Forward with a Regulatory
Determination

EPA’s proposal to use biomonitoring data to evaluate total perchlorate
exposure is a credible approach that should be adopted.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
biomonitoring data provides a better estimate of total perchlorate
exposure in the US population compared to extrapolating from food data.

Therefore, EPA should use the 2001-2002 NHANES perchlorate data to
determine directly whether regulation of perchlorate in drinking water
presents a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction.

Its application yields a finding that there is no meaningful opportunity
for risk reduction by regulating perchlorate exposure in drinking water.

The comparative effect on IUI of perchlorate exposure in drinking water
to other dietary goitrogens is a key issue in determining whether there
is meaningful opportunity for risk reduction.

Nitrates and thiocyanates are goitrogens found in our diet and
contribute significantly more to IUI than does perchlorate.

Scientific support

Findings of Tonacchera, Braverman, and Gibbs

Environ report.

Other options:

Use of urinary biomonitoring total exposure value to estimate a relative
source contribution (RSC) is unnecessarily conservative and
mathematically inconsistent with past practice.  In addition, this
approach would not yield meaningful risk reduction.

Use of urinary biomonitoring data from exclusive bottled water drinkers
to estimate RSC would yield a value of essentially one.  Bottled water
contains essentially no perchlorate.  For tap water drinkers, food is
the source of at least 95% of their average perchlorate exposure.  Thus,
reducing the five percent derived from drinking water exposure through
an MCL would not make meaningful change to total exposure, especially
since total exposure is already well below the conservative RfD.

Use of food data to determine total exposure

Biomonitoring data is a better indicator of total exposure than
estimates calculated from data from food sampling and total dietary
surveys.

Enormous variety of food combinations creates large variations in
potential perchlorate exposure.  Assumption of unusual consumption
patterns could represent only a small fraction of the US population.

FDA’s preliminary exposure assessment would yield an RSC of
essentially one based upon a 90th percentile food dose.

Evaluation of data on perchlorate’s health effects, national
occurrence and exposure using the SDWA’s “meaningful risk
reduction” criteria reveals that an MCL for perchlorate is
unnecessary.

The HRL for perchlorate should be equal to the RfD’s drinking water
equivalent level (DWEL) based upon an RSC of essentially one as
discussed above.

In comparing perchlorate to a selection of other substances from CCL 1
and CCL 2 where EPA has made a negative determination reveals that
perchlorate represents an even lower opportunity for meaningful risk
reduction based upon the occurrence and exposure data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to remove AD 2015-22-53, Amendment 39-18331 (80 FR 74982,
December 1, 2015) and add a new AD. AD 2015-22-53 applied to Airbus
Helicopters Model AS350B3 helicopters with a dual hydraulic system
installed. AD 2015-22-53 required revising the pre-flight and post-
flight procedures in the RFM to perform the yaw load compensator check
(ACCU TST switch) after rotor shut-down instead of during preflight
procedures and to state that the yaw servo hydraulic switch (collective
switch) must be in the ``ON'' (forward) position before taking off.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2017 (82
FR 42487). The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2016-0220, dated November 4,
2016, issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member
States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus
Helicopters Model AS 350 B3 helicopters. EASA advises that further
analysis resulted in the recognition that a pilot could forget to
activate a switch despite the RFM changes and that altering the
bistable push button (push-on, push-off) ACCU TST switch is necessary.
    Accordingly, the NPRM proposed to retain the requirements of AD
2015-22-53 and also proposed to require, within

350 hours time-in-service, installing a timer relay for the yaw servo
hydraulic switch, installing an additional light on the caution and
warning panel, and replacing the bistable ACCU TST button with a
monostable button. The proposed requirements were intended to prevent
takeoff without hydraulic pressure in the tail rotor (T/R) hydraulic
system, loss of T/R flight control, and subsequent loss of control of
the helicopter.

Comments

    After our NPRM was published, we received comments from two
commenters.

Requests

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) requested that the
AD address the need for an alert when there is insufficient pressure in
the T/R hydraulic system, which results in increased pedal loads. In
support of this request, the NTSB stated that, for at least four events
it investigated in which the yaw servo hydraulic switch was likely not
returned to its correct position before takeoff, a salient alert could
have cued the pilots of insufficient T/R hydraulic pressure.
    We partially agree. We agree that an aural and visual alert to the
pilot to indicate loss of T/R hydraulic pressure would address this
unsafe condition. However, Airbus Helicopters has not developed an
alteration that provides such an alert. The FAA has determined the
requirements proposed by the NPRM are appropriate to address this
unsafe condition at this time. Should an aural and visual alert to the
pilot to indicate loss of T/R hydraulic pressure be developed and
approved, we might consider additional rulemaking at that time. We did
not change the AD based on this comment.
    The NTSB also requested that we eliminate the requirement to move
the yaw load compensator check (ACCU TST switch) to post-flight
procedures instead of preflight procedures. In support of this request,
the NTSB stated that performing this check post-flight does not ensure
the yaw load compensator will remain functional for the next flight.
    We disagree. We determined that requiring this check post-flight
with the RFM procedure to have the yaw servo hydraulic switch in the
``ON'' position before takeoff, along with the alterations to the yaw
servo hydraulic switch and replacement of the ACCU TST button, reduces
the risk of takeoff with the switch in the incorrect position to an
acceptable level. We did not change the AD based on this comment.
    Eagle Copters requested we change the AD to address helicopters
that have replaced the factory console with a Geneva Aviation P122 or
P132 electrical console under Eagle Copters USA, Inc. Supplemental Type
Certificate No. SH4747NM. In support of this request, Eagle Copters
noted that operators of these helicopters will need to request an
Alternative Method of Compliance to comply with the AD, because the
Airbus Helicopters service information required for replacing the
bistable ACCU TST button does not apply to these helicopters. Eagle
Copters proposed adding a requirement to the AD to replace the HYD
TEST/ACCU TEST ESN-11 switch on the console from the locking bistable
toggle switch to a locking momentary (monostable) toggle switch part
number (P/N) MS24658-16F.
    We agree. We revised the AD to require helicopters with a P122 or
P132 electrical console installed to replace the bistable ACCU TEST
switch (which may be marked ``HYD TEST'') with monostable toggle switch
P/N MS24658-16F.

FAA's Determination

    We have reviewed the relevant information and determined that an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
helicopters of the same type design and that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed with the
change previously described. This change is consistent with the intent
of the proposals in the NPRM and will not increase the economic burden
on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Airbus Helicopters Service Bulletin (SB) No. AS350-
67.00.64, Revision 0, dated February 25, 2015. This service information
specifies procedures to install a timer relay and an additional
indicator light on the caution and warning panel. This modification
provides an ``OFF'' status indication of the yaw servo hydraulic switch
by flashing a newly installed ``HYD2'' indicator light on the caution
and warning panel. Airbus Helicopters identifies performance of this SB
as modification 074622. This modification was available when AD 2015-
22-53 was issued; however, it was determined unnecessary to address the
unsafe condition at that time.
    We also reviewed Airbus Helicopters SB No. AS350-67.00.65, Revision
0, dated August 25, 2016. This service information specifies procedures
to replace the bistable push button ACCU TST switch with a monostable
push button switch. Airbus Helicopters identifies performance of this
SB as modification 074719.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    We reviewed Airbus Helicopters SB No. AS350-67.00.66, Revision 1,
dated October 22, 2015. This service information specifies inserting
specific pages of the SB into the rotorcraft flight manual. These pages
revise the preflight and post-flight hydraulic checks by moving the T/R
yaw load compensator check from preflight to post-flight. These pages
also revise terminology within the flight manuals for the different
engine configurations.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 86 helicopters of U.S. Registry.
We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order to
comply with this AD. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour.
    Revising an RFM would take about 0.5 work-hour for a cost of $43
per helicopter and $3,698 for the U.S. fleet. Installing a timer relay
for the yaw servo hydraulic switch and an indicator light would take
about 9 work-hours and parts would cost about $2,224. Replacing the
ACCU TST button would take about 1 work-hour and parts would cost about
$2,244.
    Based on these figures, we estimate a total cost of $5,361 per
helicopter and $461,046 for the U.S. fleet.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that a regulatory, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57291; File No. SR-NYSE-2007-113]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change To Amend Annual Fees Applicable to
Groups of Real Estate Investment Trusts Under Common External
Management

February 7, 2008.

I. Introduction

    On December 20, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend Annual Fees applicable to groups of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (``REITs'') under common external management.
The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on January 4, 2008.\3\ The Commission received no comments on
the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57061 (December 28,
2007), 73 FR 0902.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The Exchange proposes to amend section 902 of the Listed Company
Manual by inserting proposed new section 902.03A. In its filing, the
Exchange stated that in a limited number of cases, a single entity or
affiliated entities may externally manage more than one REIT. As an
incentive for all of the REITs in such a group to list on the Exchange,
the Exchange is proposing to offer a group discount on Annual Fees when
there are at least three REITs under common external management.
    REITs will continue to be subject to the Annual Fees applicable to
listed equity securities as set forth in section 902.03. However,
section 902.03A will provide that, where all of the operations of each
of a group of three or more listed REITs are externally managed by the
same entity or by affiliated entities, each REIT in the group will
receive a 30% discount on the applicable Annual Fees in relation to any
year in which the common management relationship exists as of January
1. A newly-listed REIT that qualifies for the discount will receive it
in relation to the part of the year for which it pays a prorated Annual
Fee upon initial listing. For example, a REIT that lists on July 1 and
whose outstanding number of shares would subject it to a $100,000
Annual Fee would normally pay a prorated amount of $50,000 because it
would be listed for exactly half of the first year of listing. If that
REIT qualifies for the group discount, it would pay $35,000 (70% of the
prorated Annual Fee that would otherwise be payable). This filing seeks
approval to apply the discount retroactively to January 1, 2008.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\4\ In
particular, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with
section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which requires that an exchange have
rules that provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its members and other persons using its
facilities. The Commission also finds that the proposal is consistent
with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ which requires, inter alia, that
the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, and not designed to permit unfair
discrimination between issuers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the Exchange does not believe the
limitation of the proposed discount to groups of three or more REITS
under common external management is unfairly discriminatory. In support
of this the Exchange states that: (i) It has a reasonable competitive
justification for the discount; (ii) if it applied the discount to
groups of less than three REITS it could lead to a significant loss of
revenue to the Exchange; and (iii) it is not increasing the Annual Fees
for REITs, and other, issuers. The Commission also notes that the
Exchange has represented that the loss of revenue from the discount, as
proposed, will not hinder its ability to fulfill its regulatory
responsibilities.
    The Commission believes it is reasonable for the Exchange to
balance its need to remain competitive, while at the same time ensuring
adequate revenue to meet its regulatory responsibilities. The
Commission further notes that the Annual Fees applicable to all other
REITs and operating companies are remaining unchanged, so no company
that is not qualified for the discount is being asked to pay higher
Annual Fees than it is currently paying.
    In light of these arguments, the Commission agrees that the
proposed discount, which is retroactively effective to January 1, 2008,
does not constitute an inequitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees,
and other charges, does not permit unfair discrimination between
issuers, and is generally consistent with the Act.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\7\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSE-2007-113) is hereby
approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \8\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\8\

Deputy Secretary.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R06-OAR-2006-1028; FRL-8455-2]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plan for Designated Facilities
and Pollutants: Louisiana; Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the State Plan submitted by
Louisiana on October 25, 2006. The plan addresses the requirements of
EPA's Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), promulgated on May 18, 2005 and
subsequently revised on June 9, 2006. EPA is proposing that the
submitted State Plan fully implements the CAMR requirements for
Louisiana.
    CAMR requires States to regulate emissions of mercury (Hg) from
large coal-fired electric generating units (EGUs). CAMR establishes
State budgets for annual EGU Hg emissions and requires States to submit
State Plans that ensure that annual EGU Hg emissions will not exceed
the applicable State budget. States have the flexibility to choose
which control measures to adopt to achieve the budgets, including
participating in the EPA-administered CAMR cap-and-trade program. In
the State Plan that EPA is approving, Louisiana would meet CAMR
requirements by participating in the EPA administered cap-and-trade
program addressing Hg emissions.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 17, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Matthew Loesel, Air Permits
Section (6PD-R), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue,
Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the
detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the direct final rule
in the final rules section of the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Matthew Loesel, Air Permitting
Section (6PD-R) U.S. EPA, Region 6, Multimedia Planning and Permitting

Division (6PD), 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202-2733, telephone
(214) 665-8544; fax number<PHONE_NUMBER>; or electronic mail at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the Louisiana State Plan.
    The EPA is taking direct final action without prior proposal
because EPA views this as a non-controversial action and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this is set forth in the
preamble to the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received
in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and
all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final
rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse
comments on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if
that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may
adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not subject of an
adverse comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule
which is published in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of section
111 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7412.

    Dated: August 8, 2007.
Lawrence Starfield,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
