SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67853; File No. SR-BYX-2012-020]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Y-Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Related to
Fees for Use of BATS Y-Exchange, Inc.

September 13, 2012.
    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 August 31, 2012, BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BYX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as one establishing or
changing a member due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange
under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposed rule change effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the fee schedule applicable to
Members \5\ and non-members of the Exchange pursuant to BYX Rules
15.1(a) and (c).

While changes to the fee schedule pursuant to this proposal will be
effective upon filing, the changes will become operative on September
4, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A Member is any registered broker or dealer that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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 Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to modify its fee schedule applicable to use
of the Exchange effective September 4, 2012, in order to modify pricing
related to executions that occur on EDGA EXCHANGE, Inc. (``EDGA'')
through either a BYX + EDGA Destination Specific Order \6\ or through
the Exchange's TRIM routing strategies.\7\ EDGA is implementing certain
pricing changes effective September 4, 2012, including modification
from a fee to remove liquidity of $0.0007 per share to a rebate of
$0.0004 per share when removing liquidity. To maintain a direct pass
through of the applicable economics for executions at EDGA, the
Exchange proposes to rebate $0.0004 per share for an order routed
through its TRIM routing strategies and executed on EDGA. Similarly,
because EDGA is part of the Exchange's ``One Under/Better'' pricing
program for Destination Specific Orders, the Exchange intends to rebate
$0.0001 per share more than if a Member executed an order directly on
EDGA. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to rebate $0.0005 per share
for an order routed as a Destination Specific Order to EDGA and
executed on EDGA, which is $0.0001 per share more than EDGA rebates
directly. The Exchange's ``One Under/Better'' pricing does not apply to
securities priced below $1.00. In addition, the Exchange will maintain
the pricing currently charged by the Exchange for all other Destination
Specific Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As defined in BYX Rule 11.9(c)(12).
    \7\ As defined in BYX Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\8\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\9\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the
Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange notes that it operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive. The Exchange believes that the
proposed changes to certain of the Exchange's non-standard routing fees
and strategies are equitably allocated, fair and reasonable, and non-
discriminatory in that they are equally applicable to all Members and
are designed to mirror or provide an improvement over the rebate
applicable to the execution if such routed orders were executed
directly by the Member at EDGA Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.
Because the market for order execution is extremely competitive,
Members may readily opt to disfavor the Exchange's routing services if
they believe that alternatives offer them better value. For orders
routed through the Exchange and executed at EDGA Exchange, the proposed
fee change is designed to equal or exceed the rebate that a Member
would have received if such routed orders would have been executed
directly by a Member at EDGA Exchange.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received.

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

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(2) thereunder,\11\ the Exchange has designated this proposal as
establishing or changing a due, fee, or other charge applicable to the
Exchange's Members and non-members, which renders the proposed rule
change effective upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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

International Space Station to control aerobic/microaerophilic bacteria
in the aqueous coolant. The applicant proposes the use of a chemical
which is not registered by EPA. Accordingly, as required by the Code of
Federal Regulations, EPA is publishing this notice of receipt to allow
public comment.

DATES: Because of the long lead time required for acquiring and sending
products to the International Space Station (ISS), and because this is
a

repeat of a previously-approved emergency exemption request, EPA has
approved NASA's request in advance of publication of this Notice in
accordance with 40 CFR 166.24(c). Accordingly, there is no prescribed
period for submitting comments. EPA still welcomes public comment on
the request, and notes that EPA's regulations provide that an emergency
exemption may be modified or revoked if, among other things, additional
information indicates that the product may cause unreasonable adverse
effects or may not be effective at controlling the target pests.
Accordingly, the Agency will review all comments received in response
to this Notice, and consider whether any such comments identify a need
for modification or revocation of the specific exemption.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0278, by one of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are a
pesticide manufacturer (NAICS code 32532) or involved with the
International Space Station. This listing is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities
likely to be affected by this action. Other types of entities not
listed could also be affected.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the EPA
Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any
provision of FIFRA if the EPA Administrator determines that emergency
conditions exist which require the exemption. NASA has requested the
EPA Administrator to issue a specific exemption for the use of ortho-
phthalaldehyde (OPA) in the coolant of the internal active thermal
control system (IATCS) of the International Space Station (ISS) to
control aerobic/microaerophilic bacteria in the aqueous coolant.
Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of
this request.
    As part of this request, the applicant stated that it has
considered the registered biocide alternatives and has concluded that
OPA is the most effective biocide which meets the requisite criteria
including: The need for safe, non-intrusive implementation and
operation in a functioning system; the ability to control existing
planktonic and biofilm-residing micro-organisms; a negligible impact on
system-wetted materials of construction; and a negligible reactivity
with existing coolant additives. The ISS would not have an adequate
long-term solution for controlling the micro-organisms in the IATCS
coolant without the use of OPA. The OPA is incorporated into a porous
resin material contained in a stainless-steel canister. The canister
containing the OPA-incorporated resin is inserted into a coolant system
loop, using flexible hose and quick disconnects, and is placed in-line
for 8 hours to deliver the OPA into the fluid. As the coolant fluid
flows through the canister, the OPA elutes from the resin material into
the coolant fluid. The total volume of the circulatory loops of the
IATCS is 829 liters. The maximum concentration would be 500 mg of OPA
per liter of coolant fluid. A total of 414,500 mg of OPA would be
needed for the entire system. The OPA is incorporated into the resin at
210 mg OPA per cm\3\ resin, resulting in a potential total use of 1,974
cm\3\ of the OPA-containing resin. The level of OPA in the coolant is
monitored periodically, and because OPA degrades over time, the
concentration decreases to a level that is no longer effective in about
1 to 2 years. At this point, replenishment with new OPA-containing
canisters is required. EPA has authorized similar emergency exemptions
for this use since 2011. With the decision to extend the mission of the
ISS to 2024, the need for this use is expected to continue for the
duration.
    Previous notices of applications for emergency exemptions for this
same use of OPA in the ISS IATCS have not elicited significant
substantive comment. Owing to NASA's need for an expedited decision,
the negligible human and environmental exposures expected from the
proposed emergency use, and the absence of registered alternatives that
meet the ISS IATCS criteria, EPA has approved this emergency exemption
request prior to receipt of public comments, consistent with 40 CFR
166.24(c). EPA's regulations provide that an emergency exemption may be
modified or revoked if, among other things, additional information
indicates that the product

may cause unreasonable adverse effects or may not be effective at
controlling the target pests. Accordingly, EPA still welcomes comments
on this request and will review all comments received in response to
this Notice, and consider whether any such comments identify a need for
modification or revocation of the specific exemption.

[EPA-R03-OAR-2014-0568; FRL-9950-98-Region 3]

Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Consistency Update for
Maryland

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to approve an update to a portion of the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations for Maryland. Requirements applying to OCS
sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries must be
updated periodically to remain consistent with the requirements of the
corresponding onshore area (COA), as mandated by the Clean Air Act, as
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The portion of the OCS air
regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS
sources for which Maryland is the designated COA. The intended effect
of approving the OCS requirements for the Maryland Department of the
Environment is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance
with the requirements for onshore sources.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 8, 2016 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by October 11,
2016. If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform
the public that the rule will not take effect. The incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register as of November 8, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2014-0568 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person
identified in the For Further Information Contact section. For the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55 which
established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in
order to attain and maintain federal and state ambient air quality
standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the
CAA. Forty CFR part 55 applies to all OCS sources offshore of the
states except those locations in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5
degrees longitude. Section 328 of the CAA requires that for such source
locations within 25 miles of a state's seaward boundary, the
requirements shall be the same as would be applicable if the source
were located in the COA. Because the OCS requirements are based on
onshore requirements, and onshore requirements may change, section
328(a)(1) requires that EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to
maintain consistency with onshore requirements.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12 of the OCS rule, consistency reviews will
occur: (1) At least annually; (2) upon receipt of a Notice of Intent
under 40 CFR 55.4; or, (3) when a state or local agency submits a rule
to EPA to be considered for incorporation by reference in 40 CFR part
55. This action is being taken in response to requirements submitted by
Maryland on May 6, 2016. Section 328(a) of the Act requires that EPA
establish requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources
located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that are the same
as the corresponding onshore requirements. To comply with this
statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into
40 CFR part 55 as they exist for onshore sources. This

limits EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements will be
incorporated into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from making
substantive changes to the requirements it incorporates. As a result,
EPA may be incorporating rules into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform
to all of EPA's state implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain
requirements of the Act. Consistency updates may result in the
inclusion of state or local rules or regulations into 40 CFR part 55,
even though the same rules may ultimately be disapproved for inclusion
as part of the SIP. Inclusion in the OCS rule does not imply that a
rule meets the requirements of the Act for SIP approval, nor does it
imply that the rule will be approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.

II. EPA's Evaluation

    EPA reviewed Maryland's rules for inclusion in 40 CFR part 55 to
ensure that they are rationally related to the attainment or
maintenance of federal or state ambient air quality standards or part C
of title I of the CAA; that they are not designed expressly to prevent
exploration and development of the OCS; and, that they are applicable
to OCS sources. EPA has also evaluated the rules to ensure they are not
arbitrary or capricious. In addition, EPA has excluded administrative
or procedural rules \1\ and requirements that regulate toxics which are
not related to the attainment and maintenance of federal and state
ambient air quality standards. EPA finds that Maryland's rules meet
these requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Each COA that has been delegated the authority to implement
and enforce 40 CFR part 55 will use its administrative and
procedural rules as if onshore. However, in those instances where
EPA has not delegated authority to implement and enforce 40 CFR part
55, EPA will use its own administrative and procedural requirements
to implement the substantive requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    EPA is taking direct final action to incorporate the applicable
provisions of the Code of Maryland Regulations into 40 CFR part 55 as
required under section 328(a)(1) of the CAA. EPA is publishing this
rule without prior proposal because EPA views this as a
noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comment. However,
in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the update to Maryland's OCS regulations if adverse comments
are filed. This rule will be effective on November 8, 2016 without
further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by October 11, 2016.
If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal
in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not
take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final
rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time.

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 Maryland
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 55 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section
of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to establish
requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within
25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that are the same as the
corresponding onshore air quality control requirements. To comply with
this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules
into 40 CFR part 55. 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in
promulgating OCS consistency updates, EPA's role is to maintain
consistency between OCS regulations and the corresponding regulations
for onshore areas, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.
Accordingly, this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements
to make them consistent with the requirements for onshore areas,
without the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. 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);
     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 CAA; 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 OCS requirements are 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.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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. 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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate

circuit by November 8, 2016. 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. Parties
with objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to file a
comment in response to the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for
this action published in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register, rather than file an immediate petition for judicial review of
this direct final rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the proposed rulemaking action.
    This action pertaining to OCS sources in Maryland may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)

U.S.C. 4558(h)(8), and consistent with 44 CFR part 332.
    The DPA authorizes the making of ``voluntary agreements and plans
of action'' with representatives of industry, business, and other
interests to help provide for the national defense.\1\ The President's
authority to facilitate voluntary agreements with respect to responding
to the spread of COVID-19 within the United States was delegated to the
Secretary of Homeland Security in Executive Order 13911.\2\ The
Secretary of Homeland Security further delegated this authority to the
FEMA Administrator.\3\

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

    On August 17, 2020, after the appropriate consultations with the
Attorney General and the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, FEMA
completed and published in the Federal Register a ``Voluntary
Agreement, Manufacture and Distribution of Critical Healthcare
Resources Necessary to Respond to a Pandemic'' (Voluntary
Agreement).\4\ Unless terminated earlier, the Voluntary Agreement is
effective until August 17, 2025, and may be extended subject to
additional approval by the Attorney General after consultation with the
Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. The Agreement may be used to
prepare for or respond to any pandemic, including COVID-19, during that
time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 85 FR 50035 (Aug. 17, 2020). The Attorney General, in
consultation with the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, made
the required finding that the purpose of the voluntary agreement may
not reasonably be achieved through an agreement having less
anticompetitive effects or without any voluntary agreement and
published the finding in the Federal Register on the same day. 85 FR
50049 (Aug. 17, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 7, 2020, the first plan of action under the Voluntary

    The meetings are chaired by the FEMA Administrator's delegates from
the Office of Response and Recovery (ORR) and Office of Policy and
Program Analysis (OPPA), attended by the Attorney General's delegates
from the U.S. Department of Justice, and attended by the Chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission's delegates. In implementing the Voluntary
Agreement, FEMA adheres to all procedural requirements of 50 U.S.C.
4558 and 44 CFR part 332.
    Meeting Objectives: The objectives of the meetings are as follows:
    1. Convene the Requirements Sub-Committees under each of the six
Plans of Action to establish priorities related to the COVID-19
response under the Voluntary Agreement.
    2. Gather Requirements Sub-Committee Participants and Attendees to
ask targeted questions for situational awareness.
    3. Identify pandemic-related information gaps and areas that merit
sharing by holding these regular quarterly meetings of the Requirements
Sub-Committees with key stakeholders.
    4. Identify potential Objectives and Actions that should be
completed under the Requirements Sub-Committees.
    Meetings Closed to the Public: By default, the DPA requires
meetings held to implement a voluntary agreement or plan of action be
open to the public.\8\ However, attendance may be limited if the
Sponsor \9\ of the Voluntary Agreement finds that the matter to be
discussed at a meeting falls within the purview of matters described in
5 U.S.C. 552b(c), such as trade secrets and commercial or financial
information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 50 U.S.C. 4558(h)(7).
    \9\ ``[T]he individual designated by the President in subsection
(c)(2) [of section 708 of the DPA] to administer the voluntary
agreement, or plan of action.'' 50 U.S.C. 4558(h)(7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Sponsor of the Voluntary Agreement, the FEMA Administrator,
found that these meetings to implement the Voluntary Agreement involve
matters which fall within the purview of matters described in 5 U.S.C.
552b(c) and the meetings are therefore closed to the public.
    Specifically, these meetings may require participants to disclose
trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is privileged
or confidential. Disclosure of such information allows for meetings to
be closed to the public pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4).
    The success of the Voluntary Agreement depends wholly on the

willing participation of the private sector participants. Failure to
close these meetings to the public could reduce active participation by
the signatories due to a perceived risk that sensitive company
information could be released to the public. A public disclosure of a
private sector participant's information executed prematurely could
reduce trust and support for the Voluntary Agreement.
    A resulting loss of support by the participants for the Voluntary
Agreement would significantly hinder the implementation of the Agency's
objectives. Thus, these meeting closures are permitted pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).

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-2013-XXXX/
Airspace Docket No. 13-AGL-14.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/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 ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the office of the Central Service Center, 2601
Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137.
    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by amending Class D airspace to reflect removal of
the specific effective dates and times established by a Notice to
Airmen (NOTAM), for Grand Forks AFB, Grand Forks, ND. Controlled
airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport. Geographic coordinates of the airport will also be updated
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 controlled airspace at Grand Forks AFB, Grand Forks,
ND.

Environmental Review

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2007-0082]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision of a Currently
Approved Information Collection: Motor Carrier Identification Report

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA
announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and approval. FMCSA requests approval to revise an ICR entitled,
``Motor Carrier Identification Report,'' which is used to identify
FMCSA regulated entities, help prioritize the agency's activities, aid
in assessing the safety outcomes of those activities, and for
statistical purposes. On November 7, 2007, FMCSA published a Federal
Register notice allowing for a 60-day comment period on the ICR. No
comments were received.

DATES: Please send your comments by February 19, 2008. OMB must receive
your comments by this date in order to act quickly on the ICR.

ADDRESSES: All comments should reference DOT Docket No. FMCSA-2007-
0082. You may submit comments to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 Seventeenth
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: DOT/FMCSA Desk Officer.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Delores Vaughn, Transportation
Specialist, Office of Information Technology, Operations Division,
Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration, 6th Floor, West Building, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE.,
Washington, DC 20590. Telephone Number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Office hours are from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Motor Carrier Identification Report.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0013.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently-approved information
collection.
    Respondents: Motor carriers and commercial motor vehicle drivers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 472,470.
    Estimated Time per Response: To complete Form MCS-150--20 minutes;
and for Form MCS-150A--9 minutes. To complete Form MCS-150B (HM Permit
Application)--6 minutes for interstate carriers that have already
completed the Form MCS-150; and for intrastate carriers that have never
completed a Form MCS-150--they will need about 16 minutes to complete
the permit renewal.
    Expiration Date: January 31, 2008.
    Frequency of Response: One time for Form MCS-150A; biennially for
MCS-150 and MCS-150B.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 119,270 hours [108,825 hours for
Form MCS-150 + 10,305 hours for Form MCS-150A + 140 hours for Form MCS-
150B = 119,270 hours].
    Background: Title 49 U.S.C. 504(b)(2) provides the Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) with authority to require carriers, lessors,
associations, or classes of them to file annual, periodic, and special
reports containing answers to questions asked by the Secretary. The
Secretary may also prescribe the form of records required to be
prepared or compiled and the time period during which records must be
preserved (See Sec. Sec.  504(b)(1) and (d)). FMCSA will use this data
to administer its safety programs by establishing a database of
entities that are subject to its regulations. This database
necessitates that these entities notify the FMCSA of their existence.
For example, under 49 CFR 390.19(a), FMCSA requires all motor carriers
beginning operations to file a Form MCS-150 entitled, ``Motor Carrier
Identification Report.'' This report is filed by all motor carriers
conducting operations in interstate or international commerce within 90
days after beginning operations. It asks the respondent to provide the
name of the business entity that owns and controls the motor carrier
operation, address and telephone of principal place of business,
assigned identification number(s), type of operation, types of cargo
usually transported, number of vehicles owned, term leased and trip
leased, driver information, and certification statement signed by an
individual authorized to sign documents on behalf of the business
entity.
    The Department of Transportation (DOT) and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2002 (DOT Appropriations Act) (Pub.
L. 107-87, 115 Stat. 833, December 18, 2001) directed the agency to
implement section 210 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of
1999 (Pub. L. 106-159, 113 Stat. 1748, December 9, 1999) by issuing an
interim final rule (IFR) to ensure that new entrant motor carriers are
knowledgeable about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) and standards. The IFR was published on May 13, 2002 (67 FR
31983). The Form MCS-150A associated with this rule is entitled,
``Safety Certification for Application for U.S. DOT Number,'' and is
used to help ensure that new entrants are knowledgeable about the
Federal motor carrier safety regulations and standards before being
granted registration authority to operate in interstate commerce
(Intrastate carriers are not considered new entrants since they do not
operate in interstate commerce; and thus do not need to complete or
file the Form MCS-150A.). Under the Form MCS-150A, as required by 49
CFR 385.305, the new entrant must certify that it has a system(s) in
place to ensure compliance with applicable requirements covering driver
qualifications, hours-of-service, controlled substance and alcohol
testing, vehicle condition, accident monitoring and hazardous materials

(HM) transportation. The certification reminds the new entrant of its
statutory and regulatory responsibilities, which if neglected or
violated, may subject the applicant to civil penalties and lead to the
revocation of the new entrant registration.
    On June 30, 2004, the agency issued another final rule entitled,
``Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations: Hazardous Materials Safety
Permits,'' (69 FR 39350) which required all HM carriers (both
interstate and intrastate) to complete and file the Form MCS-150B
entitled, ``Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit
Application,'' to obtain a safety permit to transport hazardous
materials. The safety program under 49 CFR 390.19(a) also requires all
HM permitted carriers to complete Form MCS-150B in place of the current
Form MCS-150 to ``renew'' both their permit and their DOT numbers
according to the DOT number renewal schedule.
    Accordingly, FMCSA seeks to revise this currently-approved
information collection to update the records and forms associated with
its safety programs identified above; and to identify the regulated
entities currently engaged in these activities.
    FMCSA published a Federal Register notice allowing for a 60-day
comment period on the ICR on November 7, 2007. No comments were
received in response to this notice.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the
quality of the collected information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of Information About the Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS)

    IRIS is a database that contains potential adverse human health
effects information that may result from chronic (or lifetime) exposure
to specific chemical substances found in the environment. The database
(available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) contains

qualitative and quantitative health effects information for more than
540 chemical substances that may be used to support the first two steps
(hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of a risk
assessment process. When supported by available data, the database
provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference
concentrations (RfCs) for chronic health effects, and oral slope
factors and inhalation unit risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined
with specific exposure information, government and private entities can
use IRIS data to help characterize public health risks of chemical
substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk
management decisions designed to protect public health.

II. Workshop Information

    Members of the public may attend the workshop may attend the
workshop as observers, and there will be a limited time for oral
comments from the public. Please let Versar know if you wish to make
comments during the workshop prior to the meeting by registering on the
Web site at http://epa.versar.com/kepone and indicating your intent to

make oral comments. Space is limited, and reservations will be accepted
on a first-come, first-served basis.
