SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

Genova Biotherapeutics Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

September 23, 2009.

    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Genova Biotherapeutics Inc. (``Genova'').
    Genova is incorporated under the laws of Nevada and has its primary
headquarters in New York, New York. Questions have arisen regarding
stock promotional activity for Genova and the adequacy and accuracy of
press releases, financial statements, and statements on the company's
Web site concerning the company's current financial condition, business
and operations, and stock promoting activity.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in Genova's
securities.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST, on
September 23, 2009 through 11:59 p.m. EST, on October 6, 2009.

    By the Commission.

Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed for under 33
U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 CFR 81.18, has been issued for the research
vessel R/V SIKULIAQ, O.N. Pending, Marinette Marine Corporation Hull
No. MMC 0650. The vessel's primary purpose is to conduct oceanographic
research around the world. The unique design of the vessel did not lend
itself to full compliance with 33 CFR 84.05(a) of the Coast Guard's
Inland Navigation Rules and Annex I (3(a)) of the Convention on the
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (1972 and
1981) (COLREGS).
    The Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies that full compliance
with the applicable Inland Navigation Rules and COLREGS would interfere
with the special functions/intent of the vessel and would not
significantly enhance the safety of the vessel's operation. Placing the
masthead light in the required position would interfere with the
vessel's science and boat/davit operations.
    The Certificate of Alternative Compliance authorizes the R/V
SIKULIAQ to deviate from the requirements set forth in 33 CFR 84.05(a)
and COLREGS Annex I (3(a)), and place its aft masthead light 124.7 feet
from the forward masthead light, which is less than half of the ship
length (130.75 feet).
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c), and 33
CFR 81.18.

    Dated: March 16, 2012.
D.P. Verfaillie,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Prevention Division, By Direction of
the Commander, Ninth Coast Guard District.

[Docket No. USCG-2020-0137]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Middle River, Near Discovery
Bay, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to change the operating schedule that
governs the Woodward Island Bridge across Middle River, mile 11.8, near
Discovery Bay, CA. The proposed operating schedule change will require
the removable span to open for vessels engaged in emergency levee
repairs. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before October 21, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2020-0137 using Federal e-Rulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for
instructions on submitting comments.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations

FR Federal Register
OMB Office of Management and Budget
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis

    On September 20, 2017 the U.S. Coast Guard issued San Joaquin
County a permit to construct the new removable span Woodward Island
Bridge across Middle River, mile 11.8, near Discovery Bay, CA.
Construction was completed on January 23, 2020. The new bridge provides
30 feet of vertical clearance in the closed-to-navigation position,
unlimited vertical clearance when the span is removed, and 83 feet of
horizontal clearance, dolphin to dolphin, measured normal to the
centerline of the channel. The opening requirement for the newly
constructed Woodward Island Bridge over Middle River is currently
governed by 33 CFR 117.5, which requires prompt and full opening for
the passage of vessels when a request or signal to open is given.
    A three-year navigational analysis of that portion of Middle River
was conducted between 2000 and 2003. The results of the analysis
indicated the newly constructed bridge would meet the reasonable needs
of recreational vessels that normally use the waterway. Vessels which
cannot transit the bridge in the closed position have an alternate
route to reach the opposite side of the bridge.
    The Woodward Island Bridge was designed with a removable span to
allow emergency vessels engaged in levee repair to request an opening
when necessary. Since most recreational vessels can transit the new
Woodward Island Bridge and there is an alternate route around the
bridge, there is no need for an ``open on demand'' regulation as
prescribed in 33 CFR 117.5.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to change the operating schedule that
governs the Woodward Island Bridge across Middle River, mile 11.8, near
Discovery Bay, CA. This proposed rule change would implement
regulations for the bridge to only open for vessels engaged in
emergency levee repairs. The regulatory text we are proposing appears
at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on these statutes and Executive Orders and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a

budgeting process. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of
Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the ability of
vessels to still transit underneath the bridge while the removable span
is in place.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A.,
above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism), if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01, Rev.1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning Policy COMDTINST 5090.1
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f). The Coast
Guard has determined that this action is one of a category of actions
that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. This proposed rule promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for drawbridges. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review, under paragraph L49 of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1.
    Neither a Record of Environmental Consideration nor a Memorandum
for the Record are required for this rule. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which

    On September 17, 2007, the submittal of August 24, 2007 was found
to meet the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 51, appendix V, which
must be met before formal EPA review.

B. Are There Other Versions of These Rules?

    Some SIP versions of submitted SJVAPCD rules are old rules from the
eight counties that now comprise SJVAPCD; other SIP versions are
SJVAPCD rules that have been renumbered. These SIP-approved rules are
described below.
    Precursor SIP rules for submitted SJVAPCD Rule 4104:
     Fresno County Rule 414, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on September 22, 1972, 37 FR 19812).
     Kern County Rule 415, Reduction of Animal Matter (approved
on September 22, 1972, 37 FR 19812).
     Kings County Rule 415, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on September 22, 1972, 37 FR 19812).
     Madera County Rule 421, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on November 18, 1983, 48 FR 52450).
     Merced County Rule 414, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on September 22, 1972, 37 FR 19812).
     San Joaquin County Rule 414, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on August 22, 1977, 42 FR 42219).
     Stanislaus County Rule 414, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on September 22, 1972, 37 FR 19812).
     Tulare County Rule 415, Reduction of Animal Matter
(approved on September 22, 1972, 37 FR 19812).
    Precursor SIP rule for submitted SJVAPCD Rule 4641:
     SJVAPCD Rule 463.1, Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified
Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations (amended on September 19,
1991, approved on June 24, 1992, 57 FR 28089).
    Precursor SIP rule for submitted SJVAPCD Rule 4672:
     SJVAPCD Rule 467.2, Petroleum Solvent Dry Cleaning
Operations (adopted on April 11, 1991, approved on April 24, 1992, 57
FR 15026).
    There is no SIP rule for submitted SJVAPCD Rule 4404.

C. What Is the Purpose of the Submitted Rules and Rule Revisions?

    Section 110(a) of the CAA requires states to submit regulations
that control volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen,
particulate matter, and other air pollutants which harm human health
and the environment. These rules were developed as part of the local
agency's program to control these pollutants.
    The purpose of new SJVAPCD Rule 4404 is as follows:
     4404: The new rule requires reducing uncontrolled VOC
emissions from a heavy oil test station by 99%.
    The purposes of amendments to Rules 4104, 4641, and 4672 are as
follows:
     4104: The requirement for reducing air contaminants during
the reduction of animal matter by setting a minimum exposure time of
0.3 seconds at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit is unchanged. The format is
improved, the rule is renumbered, and the rule applicability is added.
     4641: The rule requires reducing VOC emissions by
prohibiting the application and manufacturing of certain types of
asphalt used for paving and maintenance operations. The format is
improved, the rule is renumbered, and the definition of VOC is deleted.
     4672: The rule requires reducing VOC emissions from
petroleum solvent dry cleaning operations through implementation of
various good operating practices and with the use of emission control
equipment. The format is improved, the rule is renumbered, and the rule
purpose is added.
    The TSD has more information about these rules.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How Is EPA Evaluating the Rules?

    Generally, SIP rules must be enforceable (see section 110(a) of the
CAA), must require Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for
each category of sources covered by a Control Techniques Guidelines
(CTG) document as well as each major source in nonattainment areas (see
section 182(a)(2)), and must not relax existing requirements (see
sections 110(l) and 193). The SJVAPCD regulates an ozone nonattainment
area (see 40 CFR part 81) and must fulfill the requirements of RACT.
    Guidance and policy documents that we used to help evaluate rules
and RACT requirements consistently include the following:
    1. Portions of the proposed post-1987 ozone and carbon monoxide
policy that concern RACT, 52 FR 45044 (November 24, 1987).

12, 2008).

B. Do the Rules Meet the Evaluation Criteria?

    We believe that SJVAPCD Rules 4104, 4404, 4641, and 4672 are
consistent with the relevant policy and guidance regarding
enforceability, RACT and SIP relaxations.
    The TSD has more information on our evaluation.

C. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve the Rules

    The TSD describes additional rule revisions that we recommend for
the next time the local agency modifies the rules.

D. Public Comment and Final Action

    Because EPA believes the submitted rules fulfill all relevant
requirements, we are proposing to fully approve them as described in
section 110(k)(3) of the CAA. We will accept comments from the public
on this proposal for the next 30 days. Unless we receive convincing new
information during the comment period, we intend to publish a final
approval action that will incorporate these rules into the federally
enforceable SIP.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal
Coil Surface Coating (40 CFR part 60, subpart TT) apply to the
following surface coating lines in the metal coil surface coating
industry: Each prime coat operation; each finish coat operation; and
each prime and finish coat operation cured simultaneously, where the
finish coat is applied wet-on-wet over the prime coat. In general, all
NSPS standards require initial notification reports, 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 with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart TT.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Metal coil surface coating
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart TT).
    Estimated number of respondents: 158 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, occasionally,
semiannually, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,950,000 (per year), which includes
$170,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the respondent
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens.
The increase is attributed to several adjustments: (1) This renewal
allows time for each source to re-familiarize themselves with the rule
requirements each year; (2) this renewal adjusted the frequency of
recordkeeping requirements to match the requirements in the rule; and
(3) this renewal assumed 10 percent of the sources would have excess
emissions and would have to report quarterly instead of semi-annually.
    There is a decrease in the capital and O&M costs currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The decrease is
attributed to an adjustment. The previous renewal had estimated O&M
costs related to temperature monitoring for all sources; however, only
80 percent of the sources are anticipated to comply with the rule using
incineration.

I. Proposed Action

    On December 27, 2017 (82 FR 61203), the EPA proposed to approve the
following measure into the California SIP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Local agency               Resolution No.             Measure title            Adopted        Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        #2017-01.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We proposed to approve this rule based on a determination that it
satisfies the applicable CAA requirements. Our proposed action contains
more information on the measure and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received three public comments that fail to
identify any specific issue that is germane to our action on the rule.
Two of these comments identify issues that are outside of the scope of
this rulemaking, including forest management, wildfire suppression, and
greenhouse-gas and other emissions from wildfires. The third comment
fails to identify any specific issue. The comment letters are available
in the docket for this rulemaking.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rule
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, the EPA is fully
approving this rule into the California SIP in accordance with section
110(k)(3) of the Act.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
NSAQMD measure described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);

     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 1, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
