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

    Nasdaq proposes to modify pricing for Nasdaq members using the
Nasdaq Market Center. Nasdaq will implement this proposed rule change
on November 1, 2007. The text of the proposed rule change is available
at the Exchange's Web site, the Exchange and 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, Nasdaq 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. Nasdaq 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
    Effective November 1, 2007, Nasdaq is implementing a set of pricing
changes relating to securities listed on exchanges other than Nasdaq
and the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'').\5\ Specifically, for
certain ``Low-Volume Securities,'' Nasdaq is adopting an enhanced
liquidity provider rebate of $0.004 per share executed.\6\ A Low-Volume
Security is defined as a security listed on an exchange other than
Nasdaq or the NYSE with an average daily volume on all venues during
the preceding month of less than 200,000 shares. For each calendar
month, the determination of Low-Volume Securities will be made on the
25th day of the preceding month, based on trading volumes since the
25th day of the month before. For example, the determination of Low-
Volume Securities for trading during the calendar month of November
would be made on October 25, based on trading volumes from September 25
until October 24. The list of Low-Volume Securities will be posted on
the NasdaqTrader.com Web site. By announcing the list prior to the
first of the month, Nasdaq believes that it will enable market
participants to reflect on the list when making trading decisions at
the beginning of the month. A security with seven or fewer trading days
during an assessment period, such as a new listing, will not be
considered a Low-Volume Security, regardless of its volume, since the
lack of trading data does not provide a meaningful basis for
determining the security's potential volume during the following month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Transaction reports for these securities are disseminated by
the Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') on ``Tape B.''
    \6\ There is, however, no liquidity provider rebate if the
execution price is less than $1 per share.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a corollary to the enhanced liquidity provider rebate for Low-
Volume Securities, Nasdaq will be eliminating market data revenue
sharing for these same securities. Nasdaq's existing program for
sharing 50% of market data revenue with liquidity providers in Tape B
securities will remain in effect for Tape B securities that are not
Low-Volume Securities.
    Nasdaq believes that because the amount of a liquidity provider
rebate is known by market participants prior to order execution, it
provides a more direct incentive for liquidity provision than market
data revenue sharing, the exact amount of which is estimated monthly
but confirmed on a quarterly basis and depends upon a range of factors
beyond the control of a particular market participant. Accordingly,
Nasdaq believes that substituting an enhanced rebate for market data
revenue sharing may encourage market participants to make greater use
of Nasdaq for trading the securities covered by the program.
    At present, Nasdaq's only active program for market data revenue
sharing is for liquidity providers in Tape B securities.\7\
Accordingly, the proposed enhanced rebate applies only to these
securities. Moreover, Nasdaq's initial focus is on Low-Volume
Securities (as defined above and in the rule) because Nasdaq believes
that an enhanced credit may encourage tighter spreads and more overall
activity in these stocks. Moreover, the focus on these securities will
allow Nasdaq to evaluate the financial and market behavior impact of
the change without materially increasing the overall amount of
liquidity provider credits that it pays.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'')/
NASDAQ Trade Reporting Facility also maintains a revenue sharing
program, but Nasdaq's program under Rule 7024, which allows for
discretionary sharing of an unspecified percentage of certain
operating revenues, is not currently in use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of section 6 of the Act,\8\ in general, and with section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it provides for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
members and issuers and other persons using any facility or system
which Nasdaq operates or controls. The change responds to fee changes
by NYSE to ensure that Nasdaq's fees for routing to NYSE are generally
consistent with charges that NYSE imposes on Nasdaq when it routes
orders to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    Nasdaq 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.

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

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited
nor received.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change is filed pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \10\ and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder \11\ because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other
charge applicable only to a member imposed by a self-regulatory
organization. Accordingly, the proposal is effective upon Commission
receipt of the filing. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

[FRL-8271-9; Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-2006-0868]

Metabolically-Derived Human Ventilation Rates: A Revised Approach
Based Upon Oxygen Consumption Rates

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 30-day public comment period for the draft
document titled, ``Metabolically-Derived Human Ventilation Rates: A
Revised Approach Based Upon Oxygen Consumption Rates'' (EPA/600/R-06/
129A). The document was prepared by the National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within EPA's Office of Research and
Development (ORD).
    In 1997, NCEA published the Exposure Factors Handbook. This
comprehensive document provides summaries of available statistical data
on various factors that can impact an individual's exposure to
environmental contaminants. NCEA maintains the Exposure Factors
Handbook and periodically updates the document using current literature
and other reliable data made available through research. Many program
offices within EPA rely on the data from this handbook to conduct their
exposure and risk assessments.
    One important determinant of a person's exposure to contaminants in
air is the ventilation rate, or the volume of air that is inhaled by an
individual in a specified time period. Ventilation rates, also known as
breathing or inhalation rates, are given in Chapter 5 of the Exposure
Factors Handbook. Calculations of the currently recommended ventilation
rates were limited by their dependence on a ``ventilatory equivalent,''
which relied on a person's fitness level. This draft report,
``Metabolically-Derived Human Ventilation Rates: A Revised Approach
Based Upon Oxygen Consumption Rates,'' presents a revised approach that
calculates ventilation rates directly from an individual's oxygen
consumption rate, and applies this method to data provided from more
recent sources, such as the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) and EPA's Consolidated Human Activity
Database (CHAD). In the next edition of the Exposure Factors Handbook,
NCEA would like to update the ventilation rate values using this
revised approach and the more recently released data.
    EPA is releasing the draft, ``Metabolically-Derived Human
Ventilation Rates: A Revised Approach Based Upon Oxygen Consumption
Rates,'' solely for the purpose of pre-dissemination peer review under
applicable information quality guidelines. This document has not been
formally disseminated by EPA. It does not represent and should not be
construed to represent any Agency policy or determination. EPA will
consider any public comments submitted in accordance with this notice
when revising the document.

DATES: The 30-day public comment period begins January 24, 2007, and
ends February 23, 2007. Technical comments should be in writing and
must be received by EPA by February 23, 2007. In a subsequent Federal
Register notice EPA will announce the details of an external peer
review meeting that will be conducted via teleconference.

ADDRESSES: The draft, ``Metabolically-Derived Human Ventilation Rates:
A Revised Approach Based Upon Oxygen Consumption Rates,'' is available
primarily via the Internet on the National Center for Environmental
Assessment's home page under the Recent Additions and the Data and
Publications menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea. A limited number of

paper copies are available from the Technical Information Staff, NCEA-
W; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you are
requesting a paper copy, please provide your name, your mailing
address, and the document title, ``Metabolically-Derived Human
Ventilation Rates: A Revised Approach Based Upon Oxygen Consumption
Rates'' (EPA/600/R-06/129A).
    Comments may be submitted electronically via http://www.regulations.gov,

by mail, by facsimile, or by hand delivery/courier. Please follow the
detailed instructions provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
of this notice.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31501; Amdt. No. 4073]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective August 21, 2023. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions. The incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of
the Federal Register as of August 21, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20. The
applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B, when
required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the type of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff

Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation 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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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 as it would modify the VOR Federal airway route structure in
the eastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air
traffic.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018 and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11C
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the descriptions of VOR Federal
airways V-8, V-92, V-214, and V-438, due to the planned decommissioning
of the Grantsville, MD, VOR/DME. The proposed route changes are
described below.
    V-8: V-8 currently consists of two sections with a gap in between.
The first section extends between the intersection of radials from the
Seal Beach, CA, VORTAC and the Ventura, CA, VOR/DME (i.e., the charted
DOYLE, CA, fix) and the Flag City, OH, VORTAC. The second section
extends between the Briggs, OH, VOR/DME and the Washington, DC, VOR/
DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segments that extend between
the Briggs, OH, VOR/DME and the Martinsburg, WV, VORTAC. As amended,
that portion of V-8 between the DOYLE, CA, fix and the Flag City, OH,
VORTAC would remain unchanged. The second section of the airway would
extend between the Martinsburg, WV, VORTAC and the Washington, DC, VOR/
DME.
    V-92: V-92 currently consists of two sections. The first section
extends between the Chicago Heights, IL, VORTAC and the Goshen, IN,
VORTAC. The second section extends between the Newcomerstown, OH, VOR/
DME and the Armel, VA, VOR/DME. This proposal would remove the airway
segments between the Bellaire, OH, VOR/DME and the Armel, VA, VOR/DME.
As amended, V-92 would extend between Chicago Heights, IL, and Goshen,
IN; and between Newcomerstown, OH and Bellaire, OH.
    V-214: V-214 currently extends, in two sections, between the
Kokomo, IN, VORTAC and the Muncie, IN, VOR/DME; and between the
intersection of radials from the Appleton, OH, VORTAC and the
Zanesville, OH, VOR/DME (i.e., the charted GLOOM, OH, fix) and the
Teterboro, NJ, VOR/DME. This proposal would remove the segments between
the Bellaire, OH, VOR/DME and the Martinsburg, WV, VORTAC. As amended,
V-214 would consists of three separate sections:
    The first section would extend between Kokomo, IN and Goshen, IN
(no change from current configuration). The second section would extend
between the intersection of radials from the Appleton, OH, VORTAC and
the Zanesville, OH, VOR/DME, and the Bellaire, OH, VOR/DME. The third
section would extend between the Martinsburg, WV, VORTAC and the
Teterboro, NJ, VOR/DME.
    V-438: V-438 currently extends between the Grantsville, MD, VOR/DME
and the intersection of radials from the Hagerstown, MD, VOR, and the
Martinsburg, WV, VORTAC (i.e., the charted LUCKE, VA, fix). This
proposal would remove the airway segment between the Grantsville, MD,
VOR/DME and the Hagerstown, MD, VOR. The amended V-438 would extend
between the Hagerstown, MD, VOR, and the LUCKE, VA, fix.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR
Federal airways listed in this document would be subsequently published
in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation 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
Department of Transportation (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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
