SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and
the number one preventable cause of disability (Ref. 1). Recent
publication of five prospective randomized trials and revised practice
guidelines in the treatment of stroke has suggested the potential
therapeutic role of endovascular therapy in combination with
pharmacotherapy (typically intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV
t-PA)) for patients with proximal large vessel occlusion stroke in the
anterior circulation (M1 Middle Cerebral Artery segment with or without
concomitant Internal Carotid Artery occlusion) (Refs. 2-6). FDA
believes that research and development in this field, including the
collection of data through the use of registries, provides a potential
data source for expanding indications for already cleared/approved
devices. Development and leveraging support for data collected within
appropriate registries; with the participation of professional medical
societies, industry, patient groups, healthcare facilities, and payers;
can further drive innovation in this area and aid in the improvement of
clinical care and patient outcomes. A coordinated registry network may
also collect data reflective of clinical practice that is of sufficient
quality and breadth to support scientific, clinical, and regulatory
decision-making and aid in the design of future studies and performance
testing requirements for new or existing devices.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    This workshop is aimed at addressing scientific, clinical, and
regulatory considerations associated with medical devices used in the
treatment of acute ischemic stroke medical devices and the development
of coordinated registry networks to serve the following topic areas:
     Clinical Common Data Elements;
     Standardized Definitions and Case Report Forms;
     Informatics, Sustainability, and Data Quality; and
     Additional scientific, methodological, and clinical
considerations for evaluating information obtained from registries.

III. Participating in the Public Workshop

8. Agency form number( s) ( If applicable): ICR 1783.03 9. Keywords: Flexible polyurethane foam production, slabstock foam producers, molded foam producers, rebond foam producers, MACT Subpart III 10. Abstract: These standards applies to owners or operators of new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam products which emit hazardous air pollutants ( HAPs). In general, all MACT standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators of flexible polyurethane foam production facilities to which this rule is applicable must choose one of the compliance options described in the standard or reduce HAP emissions to below the compliance level. Specifically, the rule requirements for slabstock foam producers include an initial notification, notification of compliance status, semiannual reports and annual compliance certifications. In addition, respondents are required to submit a pre compliance report that describes the HAP compliance procedures, and recordkeeping procedures. Those electing to comply with the slabstock foam emission limitation using recovery devices must measure and record emissions as specified in Section 63.1297 of the rule. The rule requirements for molded and rebond foam producers include a notification of compliance status report and an annual compliance certification. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to MACT.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Regulation AC--SEC File No. 270-517, OMB Control No. 3235-0575.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
existing collection of information provided for in Regulation

Analyst Certification (AC) (17 CFR 242.500-505), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Regulation AC requires that research reports published, circulated,
or provided by a broker or dealer or covered person contain a statement
attesting that the views expressed in each research report accurately
reflect the analyst's personal views and whether or not the research
analyst received or will receive any compensation in connection with
the views or recommendations expressed in the research report.
Regulation AC also requires broker-dealers to, on a quarterly basis,
make, keep, and maintain records of research analyst statements
regarding whether the views expressed in public appearances accurately
reflected the analyst's personal views, and whether any part of the
analyst's compensation is related to the specific recommendations or
views expressed in the public appearance. Regulation AC also requires
that research prepared by foreign persons be presented to U.S. persons
pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 15a-6 and that broker-dealers
notify associated persons if they would be covered by the regulation.
Regulation AC excludes the news media from its coverage.
    The collections of information under Regulation AC are necessary to
provide investors with information with which to determine the value of
the research available to them. It is important for an investor to know
whether an analyst may be biased with respect to securities or issuers
that are the subject of a research report. Further, in evaluating a
research report, it is reasonable for an investor to want to know about
an analyst's compensation. Without the information collection, the
purposes of Regulation AC could not be met.
    The Commission estimates that Regulation AC imposes an aggregate
annual time burden of approximately 25,395 hours on 5,186 respondents,
or approximately 5 hours per respondent. The Commission estimates that
the total annual internal cost of compliance attributable to the 25,395
hours is approximately $11,616,150.00, or approximately $2,239.90 per
respondent, annually.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this collection at
the following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to
(i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by
sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Pamela Dyson,
Acting Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC

These historical records were used to estimate current abundance and to estimate population restoration targets that would represent restoration of abundance for each species to pre decline levels. Current abundance and restoration targets were used in estimating a $/ fish value for special status species in the Bay Delta region.

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
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 amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Kansas City International Airport, Kansas City,
MO, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking 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 and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2022-0140/
Airspace Docket No. 22-ACE-6.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received 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 https://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at https://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 the 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 during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
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 14 CFR part 71 by amending the
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
within an 8.5-mile (increased from a 7.6-mile) radius of Kansas City
International Airport, Kansas City, MO.
    This action is necessary due to a biennial airspace review.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 rule, when promulgated, would 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.

    Abstract: The NESHAP for Polyether Polyols Production (40 CFR part
63, subpart PPP) were proposed on September 4, 1997; promulgated on
June 1, 1999; and amended on March 27, 2014. These regulations apply to
both new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of
polyether polyols (including polyether mono-ols) and emit hazardous air
pollutants (HAPs). Owners or operators of polyether polyols production
facilities to which this regulation applies must either choose one of
the compliance options described in the rule or install and monitor a
specific control system that reduces HAP emissions to the compliance
level. Respondents are also subject to sections of 40 CFR part 63,
subpart A. New facilities include those that commenced construction,
modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
63, subpart PPP.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.

    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of polyether
polyols production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPP).
    Estimated number of respondents: 23 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,710 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $429,000 (per year), which includes $0 for
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden.

II. Description of the Plan

    Set forth in this Section II is the statement of the purpose and
summary of the Fourteenth Amendment, along with the information
required by Rule 608(a)(4) and (5) under the Exchange Act,\7\
substantially prepared and submitted by the Participants to the
Commission.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 17 CFR 242.608(a)(4) and (a)(5).
    \8\ See Transmittal Letter, supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Statement of Purpose and Summary of the Plan Amendment

    The Participants filed the Plan on April 5, 2011, to create a
market-wide limit up-limit down mechanism intended to address
extraordinary market volatility in NMS Stocks, as defined in Rule
600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act. The Plan sets
forth procedures that provide for market-wide limit up-limit down
requirements that would prevent trades in individual NMS Stocks from
occurring outside of the specified price bands. These limit up-limit
down requirements are coupled with Trading Pauses,\9\ as defined in
Section I(Y) of the Plan, to accommodate more fundamental price moves.
In particular, the Participants adopted this Plan to address the type
of sudden price movements that the market experienced on the afternoon
of May 6, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Unless otherwise specified, the terms used herein have the
same meaning as set forth in the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As set forth in more detail in the Plan, all trading centers in NMS
Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those
operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and
enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to
comply with the limit up-limit down requirements specified in the Plan.
More specifically, the single plan processor responsible for
consolidation of information for an NMS Stock pursuant to Rule 603(b)
of Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act will be responsible for
calculating and disseminating a lower price band and upper price band,
as provided for in Section V of the Plan. Section VI of the Plan sets
forth the limit up-limit down requirements of the Plan, and in
particular, that all trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both
those operated by Participants and those operated by members of
Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies
and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent trades at prices
that are below the lower price band or above the upper price band for
an NMS Stock, consistent with the Plan.
    The changes approved by the Commission in the Twelfth Amendment
provide that a Trading Pause will continue until the Primary Listing
Exchange has reopened trading using its established reopening
procedures, and to require that trading centers not resume trading in
an NMS Stock following a Trading Pause without Price Bands for such NMS
Stock. In the Statement of Purpose filed with the Twelfth Amendment,
the Participants stated that the changes described in the Twelfth
Amendment would be implemented no later than six months after approval
of that amendment. Based on the date of the approval order of the
Twelfth Amendment, the Twelfth Amendment must be implemented no later
than July 19, 2017. Because the SIP technology changes necessary to
implement the Twelfth Amendment will not be ready by July 19, 2017, the
Participants are filing this proposal to change the implementation date
for the changes to the Plan set forth in the Twelfth Amendment to
September 30, 2017.

    In addition, the Primary Listing Exchanges will not be ready to
implement the changes to their automated reopening processes following
a Trading Pause, which were made pursuant to exchange rule filings in
conjunction with the Twelfth Amendment, by July 19, 2017. To provide
for a standardized approach that would allow for extensions of a
Trading Pause by the Primary Listing Exchange if equilibrium cannot be
met to establish a Reopening Price within specified parameters
(``automated reopening changes''), the Primary Listing Exchanges
amended their rules for automated reopenings.\10\ The Primary Listing
Exchanges anticipate implementing the automated reopening changes in
the third quarter of 2017, assuming that the Processors have
implemented their changes and each Primary Listing Exchange is able to
implement their proposed rule changes simultaneously.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 79846 (January 19,
2017), 82 FR 8548 (January 26, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2016-130)
(Approval Order); 79884 (January 26, 2017), 82 FR 8968 (February 1,
2017) (SR-BatsBZX-2016-61) (Approval Order); 79876 (January 25,
2017), 82 FR 8888 (January 31, 2017) (SR-Nasdaq-2016-131) (Approval
Order).
    \11\ In other words, the Participants expect that both the
changes pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment and the Primary Listing
Exchange automated reopening changes would become operative at the
same time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, both to provide time to support the technology changes
for the Twelfth Amendment and to align the implementation date of the
Twelfth Amendment with the implementation timeline for the automated
reopening changes by the Primary Listing Exchanges, the Participants
propose to change the implementation date for the changes in the
Twelfth Amendment to no later than the end of the third quarter of
2017.\12\ This proposed change does not require any changes to the text
of the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The Participants anticipate that the Twelfth Amendment
changes will be implemented in August 2017. However, to align the
implementation schedule with the automated reopening changes, the
Participants propose to specify the same implementation time frame
as the Primary Listing Exchanges have proposed for the automated
reopening changes. See supra note 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Participants believe that the proposed modification to the
implementation schedule is technical and ministerial in nature because
it simply extends the implementation period for the Twelfth Amendment
and does not change any substantive elements of the Plan.\13\ The
Participants believe that the proposal to extend the implementation
schedule is consistent with the goal of the Twelfth Amendment, which is
to reduce the potential for sequential Trading Pauses in an NMS Stock
by centralizing the reopening process through the Primary Listing
Exchanges, because it would align the implementation schedule for the
Twelfth Amendment with the implementation schedule for the automated
reopening changes. The proposed amendment would therefore protect
investors and the public interest and is appropriate to the maintenance
of fair and orderly markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 70273
(amending Section VIII.B of the Plan to establish a new
implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan) and 71247
(amending Section VIII.B of the Plan to establish a new
implementation schedule for Phase II of the Plan), supra note 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Governing or Constituent Documents

    The governing documents of the Processor, as defined in Section
I(P) of the Plan, will not be affected by the Plan, but once the Plan
is implemented, the Processor's obligations will change, as set forth
in detail in the Plan.

C. Implementation of Plan

    The initial date of the Plan operations was April 8, 2013.

D. Development and Implementation Phases

    The Plan was initially implemented as a one-year pilot program in
two Phases, consistent with Section VIII of the Plan: Phase I of Plan
implementation began on April 8, 2013 and was completed on May 3, 2013.
Implementation of Phase II of the Plan began on August 5, 2013 and was
completed on February 24, 2014. The tenth amendment to the Plan was
implemented on July 18, 2016. Pursuant to the thirteenth amendment to
the Plan, the pilot period of the Plan was extended until April 16,
2018.\14\ Currently, the Participants must implement the Twelfth
Amendment no later than July 19, 2017. Pursuant to this proposed
amendment, the Participants propose to extend the time frame to
implement the Twelfth Amendment to no later than the end of the third
quarter of 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80455 (order
approving the thirteenth amendment to the Plan), supra note 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. Analysis of Impact on Competition

    The proposed Plan does not impose any burden on competition that is
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the
Exchange Act. The Participants do not believe that the proposed Plan
introduces terms that are unreasonably discriminatory for the purposes
of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of the Exchange Act.

F. Written Understanding or Agreements Relating to Interpretation of,
or Participation in, Plan

    The Participants have no written understandings or agreements
relating to interpretation of the Plan. Section II(C) of the Plan sets
forth how any entity registered as a national securities exchange or
national securities association may become a Participant.

G. Approval of Amendment of the Plan

    Each of the Plan's Participants has executed a written amended
Plan.

H. Terms and Conditions of Access

    Section II(C) of the Plan provides that any entity registered as a
national securities exchange or national securities association under
the Exchange Act may become a Participant by: (1) Becoming a
participant in the applicable Market Data Plans, as defined in Section
I(F) of the Plan; (2) executing a copy of the Plan, as then in effect;
(3) providing each then-current Participant with a copy of such
executed Plan; and (4) effecting an amendment to the Plan as specified
in Section III(B) of the Plan.

I. Method of Determination and Imposition, and Amount of, Fees and
Charges

    Not applicable.

J. Method and Frequency of Processor Evaluation

    Not applicable.

K. Dispute Resolution

    Section III(C) of the Plan provides that each Participant shall
designate an individual to represent the Participant as a member of an
Operating Committee. No later than the initial date of the Plan, the
Operating Committee shall designate one member of the Operating
Committee to act as the Chair of the Operating Committee. Any
recommendation for an amendment to the Plan from the Operating
Committee that receives an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of
the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be submitted to the
Commission as a request for an amendment to the Plan initiated by the
Commission under Rule 608.
    On April 12, 2017, the Operating Committee, duly constituted and
chaired by Mr. Robert Books of Bats, met and voted unanimously to amend
the Plan as set forth herein in accordance with Section III(C) of the
Plan. The Plan Advisory Committee was notified in connection with the
Fourteenth Amendment and was in favor.
