SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Airbus
Helicopters Model MBB-BK 117 A-3, MBB-BK 117 A-4, MBB-BK 117 B-1, MBB-
BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1 helicopters. The SNPRM published in the
Federal Register on April 28, 2020 (85 FR 23492) (``the SNPRM''). The
FAA preceded the SNPRM with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that
published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2016 (81 FR 27057) (``the
NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by reports that the adhesive seal
prevented the doors from jettisoning properly. The NPRM proposed to
require removing adhesive seal part number (P/N) 117-800201.01 from the
exterior and interior of each sliding door. The NPRM also proposed to
prohibit the installation of this part-numbered adhesive seal on any
helicopter sliding door. The SNPRM proposed to expand the
applicability. The SNPRM also proposed to add requirements to replace
certain seals with newly certified seals and revise the existing RFM
for your helicopter. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the presence
of sealant on a sliding door, which could result in the door failing to
jettison and preventing helicopter occupants from exiting the
helicopter during an emergency.
    EASA, which is the aviation authority for the Member States of the
European Union, issued EASA AD 2015-0163R1, dated April 27, 2016
(``EASA AD 2015-0163R1'') (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness

Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
Airbus Helicopters Model MBB-BK 117 A-3, MBB-BK 117 A-4, MBB-BK 117 B-
1, MBB-BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1 helicopters. EASA advised that
difficulties were reported regarding the jettisoning of doors. The
malfunction was caused by the adhesive seal, which hampered the free
movement of the inner handle. According to EASA, a subsequent
investigation showed that the adhesive seal has mechanical and physical
properties that do not meet relevant certification requirements. EASA
stated that this condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead
to a malfunction of the door's jettisoning mechanism, reducing or
preventing the evacuation of the helicopter during an emergency,
possibly resulting in injury to occupants. To address this condition,
EASA AD 2015-0163R1 required inspecting the exterior and interior door
jettisoning system on the left and right sliding doors for adhesive
seal P/N 117-800201.01 and removing those adhesive seals.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2015-3941.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the SNPRM
or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin MBB-
BK11720A-114, Revision 2, dated March 30, 2016, for Model MBB-BK 117 A-
3, MBB-BK 117 A-4, MBB-BK 117 B-1, MBB-BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1
helicopters. This service information describes procedures for cleaning
and degreasing the seal installation areas and installing adhesive seal
P/N 117-800201.02. This service information also specifies flight
manual revisions with preflight check information for this new seal.
    The FAA also reviewed Section 4--Normal Procedures, of MBB
Helicopters Flight Manual MBB-BK117 A-3, Revision 17.1, MBB Helicopters
Flight Manual MBB-BK117 A-4, Revision 16.1, MBB Helicopters Flight
Manual MBB-BK117 B-1, Revision 20.1, Eurocopter Flight Manual BK117 B-
2, Revision 21.2, and Eurocopter Flight Manual BK117 C-1, Revision
30.1, each dated March 25, 2015. This revision of the service
information adds preflight check procedures for ``Jettisonable sliding
door installed, after ASB-BK117-20A-114'' in Section 4--Normal
Procedures, Preflight Exterior Check, under both ``Fuselage--right
side'' and ``Fuselage--left side'' of the existing RFM for your
helicopter.
    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.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD does not mandate the installation of the new adhesive
seals, whereas this AD does. Model MBB-BK 117 B-2 serial number 7203 is
affected by the EASA AD but is not affected by this AD because it is
ineligible for U.S. registration.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 45 helicopters of U.S.
registry. Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this AD.
    If installed, removing adhesive seals P/N 117-800201.01 would take
about 0.5 work-hour for an estimated cost of about $43 per helicopter.
Installing new seals and revising the existing RFM for your helicopter
would take about 1 work-hour and a set of new seals (4 units) would
cost about $5 for an estimated cost of $90 per helicopter and $4,050
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.
    The FAA is 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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2042]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2011-0015]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated February 10, 2011, Drake Switching Company, LLC (DSC) has
petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR part 223. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA-2011-0015.
    DSC seeks a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the
Safety Glazing Standards-Locomotives, Passenger Cars and Cabooses, 49
CFR part 223, which requires certified glazing in all windows.
    This request is for a shuttlewagon (Car Number SWX735), which is
used as a locomotive. DSC states that this shuttlewagon is equipped
with DOT-002 and DOT-22 glazings, instead of the FRA Type I and II
glazing required by 49 CFR part 223. Drake Cement Company's operation
requires inbound and outbound rail car movement for raw materials. In
order to serve the plant, Drake Cement Company acquired and built
approximately 4 miles of yard track and established DSC. The 4-mile
track allows the BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) to interchange traffic to
and from Drake Cement Company at Drake, AZ. DSC has operating authority
from the Surface Transportation Board (STB). DSC also trained its
personnel for all rail operations involved in handling the switching.
DSC purchased a new shuttlewagon, SWX735, for its self-propelled power
(locomotive).
    DSC obtained a quote for modifying the shuttlewagon to compliant
glazing. DSC believes this cost is not justified because DSC uses it
once or twice a week and 100 percent of the use of the shuttlewagon is
restricted to yard movement with speeds less than 10 mph.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at http://www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

will be considered as far as practicable.

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 proposed 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 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 establish Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Highland Community Hospital Heliport,
Picayune, MS, to support IFR operations in standard instrument approach
procedures at the heliport.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on this proposed rule by
submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing reasoned
regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically invited
on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and
energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2017-0320 and Airspace Docket No. 17-ASO-12) and be submitted in
triplicate to DOT Docket Operations (see ADDRESSES section for address
and phone number). You may also submit comments through the Internet at
http://www.regulations.gov.
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on
this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket
No. FAA-2017-0320; Airspace Docket No. 17-ASO-12.'' The postcard will
be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date
for comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of
the comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed
in the docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the

ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between 9:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal holidays. An informal
docket may also be examined between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except federal holidays at the office of the Eastern
Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, Room 350, 1701
Columbia Avenue, College Park, Georgia 30337.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.5-mile radius of
Highland Community Hospital Heliport, Picayune, MS, providing the
controlled airspace required to support the new Copter RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedures for Highland Community Hospital
Heliport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently 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 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 would 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.

interests for the committee. The interested organizations are not bound
by the list of nominees in selecting a candidate. However, if no

individual is selected within 60 days, the Commissioner will select the
nonvoting member to represent industry interests.

III. Application Procedure

    Individuals may self-nominate, and/or an organization may nominate
one or more individuals, to serve as a nonvoting industry
representative. Nominations must include a current, complete
r[eacute]sum[eacute] or curriculum vitae for each nominee, including
current business address and telephone number, email address if
available, and a signed copy of the Acknowledgement and Consent form
available at the FDA Advisory Committee Membership Nomination Portal
(see ADDRESSES) within 30 days of publication of this document (see
DATES). Nominations must also specify the advisory committee for which
the nominee is recommended. Nominations must also acknowledge that the
nominee is aware of the nomination unless self-nominated. FDA will
forward all nominations to the organizations expressing interest in
participating in the selection process for the committee. Persons who
nominate themselves as nonvoting industry representatives will not
participate in the selection process.
    FDA seeks to include the views of women and men, members of all
racial and ethnic groups, and individuals with and without disabilities
on its advisory committees and, therefore, encourages nominations of
appropriately qualified candidates from these groups.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. 1001 et seq.) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to advisory
committees.

    Dated: September 5, 2023.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57910; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2008-049]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
To Modify the Processing of Price To Comply Orders

June 3, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on May 30, 2008, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange.
The Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as a ``non-
controversial'' rule change pursuant to

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposed rule change effective upon filing with the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to modify the processing of Price to Comply
orders contained in Nasdaq Rule 4751(f)(7). The Exchange proposes to
implement the proposed rule change on June 2, 2008. The text of the
proposed rule change is available at Nasdaq, the Commission's Public
Reference Room, and http://www.nasdaq.com.

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. 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
    The Exchange proposes to modify the rule language pertaining to
``Price to Comply Order'' as set forth in Rule 4751(f)(7) of the Nasdaq
Rules. Price to Comply Orders were originally conceived and approved
when Nasdaq integrated its three execution systems into the Nasdaq
Single Book in 2007.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54155 (July 14,
2006), 71 FR 41291 (July 20, 2006) (SR-NASDAQ-2006-001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Price to Comply Orders were designed to allow members to quote
aggressively and still comply with the locked and crossed markets
provisions of Regulation NMS.\6\ Specifically, Price to Comply Orders
are orders that, if, at the time of entry, would create a violation of
Rule 610(d) of Regulation NMS by locking or crossing the protected
quote of an external market or would cause an Order Protection Rule
violation,\7\ the order will be converted by the System to a Non-
Displayed Order and re-priced to the current low offer (for bids) or to
the current best bid (for offers). Such Non-Displayed Orders are
cancelled by the System if the market moves through the price of the
order after the order is accepted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 17 CFR 242.610(d).
    \7\ See 17 CFR 242.611.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to increase transparency and efficiency, Nasdaq is
proposing to modify the display of Price to Comply Orders, while
maintaining the current processing logic. Nasdaq will continue the
current practice of posting Price to Comply orders using the current
logic, buy orders are priced at the inside offer and sell orders are
priced at the inside bid. Rather than convert a locking or crossing
order to Non-Displayed, Nasdaq will display the order at the most
aggressive price possible, one minimum price increment worse than the
locking price. With the change, orders will now be displayed at a price
which is either alone or will join the National Best Bid and Offer
(``NBBO'').
    An example of how this will apply to orders is below: The National
market is $9.97 x $10.00. A firm enters a Price to Comply order to buy
at $10.01.
     Today, the order will reside on the Nasdaq book as non-
displayed for $10.00.
     With the proposed rule change, the order will reside on
the Nasdaq book non-displayed for $10.00 and will also be displayed at
$9.99. If a seller comes to Nasdaq at $9.99, the order will execute at
$10.00.
    As noted in the proposed rule, Price to Comply Orders that would
lock or cross the market will be displayed at the best price possible
consistent with the provisions of Regulation NMS. The displayed and
undisplayed price of an individual order may be priced one or more
times depending upon the manner of order entry into the System.
Specifically, if a member chooses to enter a Price to Comply Order via
Nasdaq's RASH protocol, the order is priced upon entry and may be
adjusted multiple times in response to changes in the prevailing NBBO
to move the displayed price closer to the original entered price and
display the best possible price consistent with the provisions of
Regulation NMS. Each time the displayed price is adjusted, the order
will receive a new timestamp for purposes of determining its price/time
priority according to Nasdaq's existing processing rules. If a Price to
Comply Order is entered via Nasdaq's OUCH protocol, the order will be
repriced only upon entry. The order is not repriced in the event the
prevailing NBBO changes.
    Nasdaq believes that the implementation of the aforementioned rule
change modifying Nasdaq order display will enhance transparency and
order execution opportunities on Nasdaq. Currently, all Price to Comply
orders are non-displayed. In the new environment, since the order is
displayed, it will be more transparent and better able to promote order
interaction.
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)(5) of the Act,\9\ 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. Nasdaq believes this
proposal is consistent with the Act and specifically Rule 610 of
Regulation NMS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. To the contrary,
Nasdaq believes that its processing of Price to Comply Orders is
designed to compete with orders already approved and in use at other
national securities exchanges, enhancing competition between the
exchanges.

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

    Because the foregoing rule change does not: (1) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30
days after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\12\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing with
the Commission.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by
the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this notice requirement.
    \13\ Id.
    \14\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0340; FRL-8350-1]

Disulfoton; Amendment to and Clarification of Order to Amend
Registration to Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's amendment to and clarification of
the order for the termination of uses, voluntarily requested by the
registrant and accepted by the Agency, of products containing the
pesticide disulfoton, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
amendment and clarification follows an October 10, 2007 Federal
Register Notice of Order to Amend Registrations to Terminate Uses (72
FR 57571) of disulfoton (Di-Syston 15G) for multiple uses. The October
10, 2007 order and the December 15, 2004, Notice of Receipt of Request
(69 FR 75061) that preceded the order were unclear as to whether the
use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas trees was terminated,
except for use in the State of North Carolina. In addition, the
registrant had withdrawn its request to terminate use of Di-Syston 15G
on Christmas trees outside of North Carolina during the time allowed
and EPA issued the order without having processed that withdrawal.
Accordingly, EPA hereby is amending the order to clarify that use of
disulfoton on Fraser fir Christmas trees is allowed nationwide.

DATES: This amendment is effective February 6, 2008.

Reregistration Division (7508P), Office of Pesticide Programs,

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

    On December 15, 2004, EPA published a Notice of Receipt of Request
to Voluntarily Terminate Certain Uses (69 FR 75061). That notice
contained the statement: ``The registrant will retain use of Di-Syston
15G on Fraser fir Christmas trees in North Carolina...'' On January 21,
2005, during the allowed timeframe set out in the December 15, 2004
notice, EPA received a withdrawal request from the registrant that
replaced an exclusion from termination for Christmas trees in North
Carolina with an exclusion from termination for Christmas trees
nationwide. EPA did not make note of this withdrawal in its October 10,
2007 order and instead reiterated the statement``The registrant will
retain use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas trees in North
Carolina'' without mention of how Christmas trees outside of North
Carolina would be affected. Today's action is intended to clarify that
no use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas trees has been
terminated.

III. Amended Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby amends the October 10,
2007 order to clarify that EPA did not terminate use on Fraser fir
Christmas trees outside of North Carolina of disulfoton registrations
identified in Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders
that the use of disulfoton products whose registration is identified in
Table I of Unit II for use on Fraser fir Christmas trees is allowed
nationwide.

IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.
