Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 31066; Amdt. No. 525]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule

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

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, March 31, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AMCAFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK. 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as
prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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:

I. Introduction

    EPA is announcing the availability of final test guidelines, OCSPP
Series 850 Group A--Ecological Effects, OCSPP Test Guideline 850.1000,
850.1010, 850.1020, 850.1025, 850.1035, 850.1045, 850.1055, 850.1075,
850.1300, 850.1400, 850.1710, 850.1730, 850.1735, and 850.1740.
    These test guidelines are part of a series of test guidelines
established by OCSPP for use in testing pesticides and chemical
substances to develop data for submission to the Agency under the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408 (21 U.S.C.
346a), the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
(7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15
U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). The test guidelines serve as a compendium of
accepted scientific methodologies and protocols that are intended to
provide data to inform regulatory decisions under TSCA, FIFRA, and/or
FFDCA.
    The test guidelines provide guidance for conducting the test, and
are also used by EPA, the public, and companies that are subject to
data submission requirements under TSCA, FIFRA, and/or FFDCA. As
guidance documents, the test guidelines are not binding on either EPA
or any outside parties, and EPA may depart from the test guidelines
where circumstances warrant and without prior notice. At places in this
guidance, the Agency uses the word ``should.'' In this guidance, use of
``should'' with regard to an action means that the action is
recommended rather than mandatory. The procedures contained in the test
guidelines are recommended for generating the data that are the subject
of the test guideline, but EPA recognizes that departures may be
appropriate in specific situations. You may propose alternatives to the
recommendations described in the test guidelines, and the Agency will
assess them for appropriateness on a case-by-case basis.

II. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

III. Overview

A. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is announcing the availability of final test guidelines under
Series 850, Group A--Ecological Effects, entitled ``Group A (850.1000
Series)--Aquatic and Sediment-Dwelling Fauna, Aquatic Microcosm and
Field Testing'' and identified as OCSPP Test Guidelines 850.1000,
850.1010, 850.1020, 850.1025, 850.1035, 850.1045, 850.1055, 850.1075,
850.1300, 850.1400, 850.1710, 850.1730, 850.1735, and 850.1740. EPA's
OCSPP has established a unified library of test guidelines for use in
developing data for submission to EPA under the TSCA, FFDCA, and FIFRA.
Beginning in 1991, EPA initiated an effort to harmonize the test
guidelines within OCSPP, as well as to harmonize the OCSPP test
guidelines with those of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). The process for developing and amending these test
guidelines has included public participation and the extensive

involvement of the scientific community, including peer review by the
FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP), the Science Advisory Board
(SAB), and other expert scientific organizations. With this notice, EPA
is announcing the availability of the final OCSPP Series 850 Group A--
Ecological Effects Test Guidelines for use in testing chemical
substances and developing data for submission to EPA. Guidelines in
this series were made available for public comment by notice in the
Federal Register (61 FR 8279, March 4, 1996), peer reviewed on May 29,
1996 by the SAP, and subsequently revised in response to SAP and public
comments.
    Based on comments from the SAP and from the public, the following
changes were made in the final harmonized environmental effects test
guidelines:
    1. Guideline group series name change.
    EPA is changing the name of the Group A Series ``Aquatic Fauna'' to
``Aquatic and Sediment-Dwelling Fauna, Aquatic Microcosm and Field
Testing'' broadening the scope of this guideline series to all test
guidelines evaluating effects to aquatic fauna contained in Group A.
    2. Name change for the OCSPP 850 guidelines.
    EPA is changing the name of the 850.1735 ``Whole Sediment Acute
Toxicity Invertebrates, Freshwater'' guideline to ``Spiked Whole
Sediment 10-Day Toxicity Test, Freshwater Invertebrates.'' Likewise,
EPA is changing the name of the 850.1740 ``Whole Sediment Acute
Toxicity Invertebrates, Marine'' guideline to ``Spiked Whole Sediment
10-Day Toxicity Test, Saltwater Invertebrates.'' The new names reflect
the understanding that a 10-day exposure is not necessarily reflective
of an acute exposure when considering the life-cycle duration of the
organisms, as well as identify the nature of the treated test media. In
addition, the use of ``saltwater'' instead of ``marine'' reflects newer
terminology. The 850.1075 ``Fish Acute Toxicity Test, Freshwater and
Marine'' has changed to ``Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Acute Toxicity
Test'' to also reflect newer terminology. Additionally, the 850.1020
``Gammarid Acute Toxicity Test'' has changed to ``Gammarid Amphipod
Acute Toxicity Test'' to better identify the test organism.
    3. Harmonization of guideline organization.
    The SAP recommended that the ecological effects guidelines include
the same organizational format and that the tables summarizing test
conditions for appropriate guidelines contain consistent concepts
across guidelines. As a result of these suggestions, information was
moved within the guidelines, but the information remained the same.
Tables summarizing test conditions and test validity elements were
added to guidelines in which species specific or laboratory
measurements were defined. In all guidelines where a calculated
response measure (e.g., reproductive output) was derived from direct
response measures (e.g., number of offspring), equations were provided.
    4. Highlights of technical changes.
    a. Addition of a limit test option.
    Public comments indicated that a limit test could be an option to a
definitive test in additional guidelines. A limit test provides an
opportunity to reduce the number of animals to be tested and/or
resources. Guidelines where a limit test is appropriate and a limit
test option was added include the following: 850.1010 ``Aquatic
Invertebrate Acute Toxicity Test, Freshwater Daphnids''; 850.1020
``Gammarid Acute Toxicity Test''; 850.1025 ``Oyster Acute Toxicity Test
(Shell Deposition)''; 850.1035 ``Mysid Acute Toxicity Test''; 850.1045
``Penaeid Acute Toxicity Test''; 850.1055 ``Bivalve Acute Toxicity Test
(Embyro-Larval)''; 850.1300 ``Daphnid Chronic Toxicity Test''; 850.1735
``Whole Sediment Acute Toxicity Invertebrates, Freshwater''; 850.1740
``Whole Sediment Acute Toxicity Invertebrates, Marine''.
    b. Modification of limit dosage or concentration ``cut-off''
values. The limit dosage or concentration values for tests for
pesticides were originally set at values seen in the literature as
``cut off'' values. It was believed that few, if any, pesticides would
be applied at a label rate that would result in residues equal to or
greater than these values. However, if there are cases where estimated
environmental residue values are higher than limit values provided in
the Public Drafts, or there are cases where actual or expected
environmental exposure levels may be higher than the limit values for
industrial chemicals, language was added. To address these case-by-case
occurrences, language was added saying that the limit value should be
adjusted upward if environmental exposure concentrations are expected
to be higher than the limit value. In addition, the limit concentration
for industrial chemicals was changed from ``1,000 milligrams/Liter (mg/
L)'' to ``100 mg/L'' for acute toxicity tests and ``10 mg/L'' for
chronic tests.
    5. Public draft guidelines that were not finalized.
    The draft 850.1790 ``Chironomid Sediment Toxicity Test'' and
850.1800 ``Tadpole/Sediment Subchronic Toxicity Test'' guidelines were
not finalized as the 1996 FIFRA SAP report recommended dropping these
guidelines for reasons such as another sediment guideline was available
(i.e., 850.1735).
    The draft 850.1850 ``Aquatic Food Chain Transfer'', 850.1900
``Generic Freshwater Microcosm Test, Laboratory'', 850.1925 ``Site-
Specific Aquatic Microcosm Test, Laboratory'', and 850.1950 ``Field
Testing for Aquatic Organisms'' guidelines were not finalized as these
types of tests are generally considered higher-tiered tests that are
designed to meet specific testing needs, which may vary from study to
study.
    The draft 850.1500 ``Fish Life Cycle Toxicity'' and 850.1350
``Mysid Chronic Toxicity Test'' were also not finalized. The EPA
acknowledges that a test guideline for the Endocrine Disruptor
Screening Program (EDSP) was developed for fish (890.2200--Medaka
Extended One Generation Reproduction Test (MEOGRT) (Ref. 1)).
Additionally, a mysid 2-generation toxicity test was developed for the
EDSP but was not finalized into a test guideline (Ref. 2). As such, the
Agency intends to consider and potentially incorporate, as appropriate,
test design features from both the EDSP MEOGRT and the mysid 2-
generation toxicity test when updating and finalizing the existing
draft 850.1500 fish life cycle and 850.1350 mysid chronic life cycle
test guideline.
    With regard to the 850.1085 ``Acute Fish Toxicity Mitigated by
Humic Acid Test'', the EPA is re-evaluating how the outcomes of these
types of tests represent natural processes in the environment, what
chemicals are expected to be impacted by this type of process, and the
extent to which these tests can be used to represent environments that
vary in their level of total organic carbon.

B. How were the final test guidelines developed?

    In 1996, draft guidelines were made available by notice in the
Federal Register (61 FR 8279, March 4, 1996) for public comment through
the EPA docket. These guidelines were also submitted by EPA for peer
review by the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) on May 29, 1996 (61
FR 19276, May 1, 1996). These final guidelines incorporate changes
recommended by the SAP and other changes resulting from the public
comment received in response to the March 4, 1996 draft guidelines. The
majority of comments

and changes dealt with the organizational structure of the guideline
group series, consistency of organization and format across the
ecological effects guidelines, addition of tables summarizing test
conditions, addition of tables summarizing test validity elements,
consistency in use of terminology, and updating of references. The
reporting section of each guideline now provides a list of study
specific information to include in a study report based on study
reporting requirements specified in 40 CFR 160.185 for FIFRA and 40 CFR
792.185 for TSCA.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 Series
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    Several reports have been received on the elevator power control
units (PCUs) where the shaft (tailstock) swaged bearing liners had
shown a higher than normal rate of wear. Investigation revealed that
the excessive wear was due to the paint contamination between the
bearing roller and bearing liner. The bearing paint contamination is
known to be abrasive and could seize the bearing.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to excessive
airframe vibrations and difficulties in aircraft pitch control.
* * * * *
    The unsafe condition is loss of controllability. The proposed AD
would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 13, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation, which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2010-28,
dated August 20, 2010 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    Several reports have been received on the elevator power control
units (PCUs) where the shaft (tailstock) swaged bearing liners had
shown a higher than normal rate of wear. Investigation revealed that
the excessive wear was due to the paint contamination between the
bearing roller and bearing liner. The bearing paint contamination is
known to be abrasive and could seize the bearing.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to excessive
airframe vibrations and difficulties in aircraft pitch control.
    This directive mandates a free-play check of the shaft swaged
bearing installed in the elevator PCU tailstock end and replacement
of the shaft swaged bearings if excessive free-play is found.

The unsafe condition is loss of controllability. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 84-27-52, dated May 25,
2010. The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 66 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 2 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $11,220, or $170 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 3 work-hours and require parts costing $33, for a cost of
$288 per product. We have no way of determining the number of products
that may need these actions.

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 determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:	Ozone Monitoring Issues related to the Revised NAAQS: Network
Design Options Under Consideration

FROM:	Lewis Weinstock, OAQPS/AQAD/AAMG

TO:	Ambient Ozone Monitoring Regulations Review Docket
(EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0338)

This memorandum summarizes network design options being considered as
part of the potential revisions to the ozone monitoring network
requirements.  The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a basis for
consultation with the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
Ambient Air Monitoring & Methods (AAMM) Subcommittee on February 10,
2009.  The following paragraphs summarize the current ozone surveillance
network, existing design requirements, and network options under
consideration to improve network coverage.

BACKGROUND

In the ozone NAAQS final rule (see 73 FR 16436) that revised the level
of the primary and secondary ozone NAAQS to an 8-hour average of 0.075
ppm, EPA also committed to a separate rulemaking that would support the
changes necessary in monitoring network requirements to ensure that the
ozone network was adequate in light of the changes.  EPA has completed
the final draft of this proposed rule and it is currently undergoing
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).  The following is a
summary of the technical issues of the ozone monitoring rule as
transmitted to OMB.

CHANGES TO URBAN NETWORK DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Presently, States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands) and local air quality management agencies when so
delegated by the State are required to operate minimum numbers of
EPA-approved ozone monitors based on the population of each of their
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) and the most recently measured
ozone levels for each area.  These requirements are contained in 40 CFR
part 58 Appendix D, SLAMS Minimum Ozone Monitoring Requirements, Table
D-2.  These requirements were last revised on October 17, 2006, as part
of a comprehensive review of ambient monitoring requirements for all
criteria pollutants. (See table 1).

Currently, the minimum number of ozone monitors required in an MSA
ranges from zero (for an area with a population of at least 50,000 and
under 350,000 and no recent history of an ozone design value greater
than 85 percent of the level of the NAAQS) to four (for an area with a
population greater than 10 million and an ozone design value greater
than 85 percent of the level of the NAAQS).  Because these requirements
apply at the MSA level, large urban areas consisting of multiple MSAs
can be required to have more than four monitors.

There are 105 MSAs with populations between 50,000 and less than 350,000
that are presently without any ozome monitors supporting design value
calculations for either 2004 to 2006 or 2005 to 2007 (see figure 1).
These unmonitored MSAs have a total population of approximately 18
million people and include areas in 37 States and Puerto Rico.  The
existing regulations do not require these MSAs to begin monitoring for
ozone.  Comments that were received from State air monitoring agencies
and from multi-state air planning organizations in response to the ozone
NAAQS proposal expressed concern that these requirements ignore the
needs that States and localities have for additional monitors to measure
ozone levels in a variety of locations, particularly in  areas with
populations under 350,000.  The commenters stated that unless this
deficiency is corrected, the health benefits of EPA’s ozone NAAQS
revision would likely be limited to those living in MSAs having
populations of more than 350,000.  Other commenters noted the difficulty
in defining the boundaries of new attainment/non-attainment areas
without additional monitoring in the MSA’s below 350,000 population.

EPA is considering the modification of the minimum ozone monitoring
requirements to require one monitor to be placed in MSAs of populations
of between 50,000 and less than 350,000 in situations when there is an
absence of a design value.  States would likely have to install some new
monitors and/or have the option to relocate existing monitors under
certain conditions.

CHANGES TO NON-URBAN NETWORK DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

The revised secondary standard put into place during the recent NAAQS
revision was intended to provide protection to sensitive vegetation in
less urbanized areas, in particular those Class I and Wilderness areas
set aside by Congress to be protected so as to conserve the scenic value
and the natural vegetation and wildlife within such areas, and to leave
them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.  The secondary
ozone NAAQS also considered the benefits that would be provided to the
public welfare from increased protection of sensitive vegetation in
other Federal, State, Tribal and/or public interest lands that have been
set aside for a similar purpose.  These areas are characterized by the
presence of ozone-sensitive species of native vegetation that have been
shown to be subject to ozone-induced visible foliar injury, impaired
growth, and/or other adverse impacts to a degree that could be
considered adverse.

Currently, existing ozone monitoring requirements and current State
monitoring practices are primarily oriented towards protecting against
human health effects and therefore towards reporting compliance with the
primary NAAQS.  This accounts for the current focus of the monitoring
requirements on urban areas, where large populations reside, in which
significant emissions of ozone-forming precursors are found, and where
ozone concentrations of concern have been historically measured.  EPA
believes that the previously described potential changes to urban
monitoring requirements will be adequate for determining compliance with
the secondary NAAQS in MSAs, noting that the assessment of welfare
effects has not been a traditional objective of urban-based ozone
monitoring networks.

There are no EPA requirements for ozone monitoring in less populated
areas outside of MSA boundaries or in rural areas.  However, at present
there are about 200 State operated ozone monitors in counties that are
not part of MSAs.  EPA operates a network of about 58 ozone monitors as
part of its Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNET). The National
Park Service (NPS) operates about 23 monitors at other CASTNET sites.
CASTNET ozone monitors are primarily located in rural areas; siting
criteria require distances of at least 40 kilometers from cities of
greater than 50,000 population as well as other separation requirements
from air pollution sources.  Taking into account both State and EPA/NPS
operated non-urban ozone monitors, an analysis of the distribution of
these monitors indicates a relatively high spatial density in the
eastern one-third of the U.S. and in California, with significant gaps
in coverage elsewhere across the country.  Virtually all States east of
the Mississippi River have at least several non-urban ozone monitors,
while many large mid-western and western States have one or fewer
monitors (see figure 2).

EPA believes that the public input received on this issue during the
ozone NAAQS process together with internal technical reviews support the
consideration of additional non-urban monitoring requirements.  These
requirements would support the following objectives:

(1) Providing better characterization of ozone exposures to
ozone-sensitive vegetation and ecosystems in rural/remote areas to
ensure that potential secondary NAAQS violations are measured.  This
objective would also serve the purpose of providing more consistent
support for studies examining the impact of elevated ozone levels in
wilderness areas, locations with ozone-sensitive natural vegetation, and
in areas such as National Parks.

(2) Assessment of population exposure due to elevated ambient ozone
levels in smaller communities located outside of the larger urban MSAs
covered by urban monitoring requirements.

(3) Assessment of the location and severity of maximum ozone
concentrations that occur in non-urban areas.

Given these objectives, EPA is considering the addition of a requirement
that each State operate a minimum of three non-urban ozone monitors in
addition to the current and potential urban ozone monitoring
requirements described earlier.  The first required non-urban monitor
could be located in areas such as some Federal, State, or Tribal lands,
including wilderness areas that have ozone-sensitive natural vegetation
and/or ecosystems; lands with other ownership may also be appropriate.
The second required non-urban monitor could be placed in a Micropolitan
Statistical Area expected to have ozone design value concentrations of
at least 85 percent of the NAAQS.   The third required non-urban monitor
could be placed in the area of expected maximum ozone concentration
outside of any MSA, potentially including the far-downwind transport
zones of currently well-monitored urban areas.

CHANGES TO REQUIRED OZONE MONITORING SEASON

EPA has done an analysis to address the issue of whether extensions of
currently required monitoring seasons are appropriate in light of the
revised NAAQS.  The analysis has investigated the occurrence of
exceedances of the revised NAAQS (8-hour ozone averages above 0.075 ppm)
in unmonitored months using monitors collecting ozone data year-round in
2004-2006.   Additionally, the analysis examined occurrences of 8-hour
ozone averages of at least 0.060 ppm, the concentration that serves as
the revised AQI breakpoint between the Good and Moderate indicator
level.  A statistical model was used to predict ozone concentrations in
areas where no year-round ozone monitors were operated.  The model is
based on the relationship between maximum 8-hour ozone concentrations
and meteorological variables including temperature and relative
humidity.

Exceedances of the revised ozone NAAQS during months outside of the
required monitoring season occurred in eight States during the 2004-2006
study period (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
South Carolina, Vermont, Wyoming).  Except for Wyoming, these
exceedances occurred in a very limited manner, occurring just before the
beginning of the required ozone monitoring season which began on April 1
for those States (i.e., on March 30 or March 31).  In Wyoming, the
frequency of ozone exceedances before the beginning of the required
ozone season was higher, with multiple occurrences noted at several
sites up to two months prior to the April 1 startup of required ozone
monitoring.

As would be expected, the frequency of occurrences of the revised
Moderate AQI level during months outside of the required monitoring
season revealed many examples of such readings.  A total of 32 States
experienced such occurrences; 22 States with Moderate level AQI readings
only before the required season, 9 States with such levels noted before
and after the required season, and 1 State with such levels only after
the season.  In a number of cases, the frequency of such Moderate AQI
levels was quite high, with some States experiencing over a dozen days
during 2004 to 2006 at a high percentage of their operating year-round
ozone monitors.

The specific changes to the required State ozone monitoring seasons that
are under consideration are as follows: Minnesota, an increase of one
month (19 states), two months (6 states), four months (3 states), and
five months (Wyoming).  Ozone season requirements are currently split by
Air Quality Control Region in Louisiana and Texas.  Included in the
above State-by-State accounting is the proposal to lengthen the required
season in the northern part of Louisiana by one month (southern
Louisiana ozone monitors would remain on a required year-round schedule)
and the proposal for the required season in Texas to become year-round
for the entire State.

NCore stations are required to operate a full suite of gaseous and
particulate matter monitors as well as basic meteorology to support
these objectives.  Given the potential value of NCore data to support
year-round scientific studies, EPA believes that it is appropriate to
require that ozone monitors at NCore stations be operated on a
year-round basis.  Accordingly, EPA is considering a change to the
required monitoring season for NCore stations to a year-round schedule
regardless of the length of the required ozone monitoring season for the
remainder of the SLAMS monitors within a State.

Change Relating to Linkage Fees

July 11, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on June 24, 2008, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The ISE is proposing to extend through July 31, 2009 the current
pilot program regarding transaction fees charged for trades executed
through the intermarket options linkage (``Linkage''). The text of the
proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's
Public Reference Room, and http://www.ise.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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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 purpose of this proposed rule change is to extend for one year
the pilot program establishing ISE fees for Principal Orders (``P
Orders'') and Principal Acting as Agent Orders (``P/A Orders'') sent
through Linkage and executed on the ISE. The fees currently are
effective for a pilot period scheduled to expire on July 31, 2008.\3\
This filing would extend the pilot program for another year, through
July 31, 2009. The ISE fees affected by this filing are: The Linkage P
Order fee of $0.24 per contract; the Linkage P/A Order fee of $0.15 per
contract; a surcharge fee of between $0.05 and $0.15 for trading
certain licensed products; and a $0.03 comparison fee (collectively
``linkage fees'').\4\ These are the same fees that all ISE Members pay
for non-customer transactions executed on the Exchange.\5\ The ISE does
not charge for the execution of Satisfaction Orders sent through
Linkage and is not proposing to charge for such orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56128 (July 24,
2007), 72 FR 42161 (August 1, 2007) (SR-ISE-2007-55) (Notice of
Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to Linkage Fees).
    \4\ Pursuant to other pilot programs, certain linkage fees may
not apply during the Linkage pilot program.
    \5\ The ISE charges these fees only to its Members, generally
firms who clear P Orders and P/A Orders for market makers on the
other linked exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes it is appropriate to charge fees for P Orders
and P/A Orders executed through Linkage. Notably, while market makers
on competing exchanges always can match a better price on the ISE, they
never are obligated to send orders to the ISE through Linkage. However,
if such market makers do seek the ISE's liquidity, whether through
conventional orders or through the use of P Orders or P/A Orders, ISE
believes it is appropriate to charge its Members the same fees levied
on other non-customer orders. ISE appreciates that there has been
limited experience with Linkage and that the Commission is continuing
to study Linkage in general and the effect of fees on Linkage trading.
Thus, this filing would extend the status quo with Linkage fees for an
additional year. The Exchange is making no substantive changes to the
way the pilot is currently operating, other than to extend the date of
operation through July 31, 2009.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Exchange Act for this proposed rule change is
the requirement under Section 6(b)(4) that an exchange have an
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among
its members and other persons using its facilities. As discussed above,
the ISE believes that this proposed rule change will equitably allocate
fees by having all non-customer users of ISE transaction services pay
the same fees. The Exchange believes that, if it were not to charge
Linkage fees, the Exchange's fee would not be equitable, in that ISE
Members would be subsidizing the trading of their competitors, all of
whom access the same trading services.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act. Moreover, failing to adopt the proposed rule change would
impose a burden on competition by requiring ISE Members to subsidize
the trading of their competitors.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

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:
