SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 232

[Release Nos. 33-9911; 34-75918; 39-2506; IC-31823]

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual and related rules to reflect
updates to the EDGAR system. The updates are being made to add two new
Security-based Swap Data Repository (SDR) submission form types; make
available new exhibit EX-36 (Depositor Certification for shelf
offerings of asset-backed securities) on EDGARLink Online for
submission form types SF-3, SF-3/A, 8-K, and 8-K/A; accept Exhibit K
and Exhibit L in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format
for submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A, and SDR-W; consider valid
XBRL file attachments if they contain multiple identically tagged XBRL
facts; make documentation updates to Chapter 2 of the ``EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume I: General Information'' and Chapters 2, 3, and 7 of the
``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'' relating to Form NRSRO;
and make formatting changes to ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: General
Information'', ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'', and
``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume III: N-SAR Supplement'' for compliance
with Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act. The Filer Manual is
also being revised to address software changes made previously in
EDGAR. On July 10, 2015, Regulation A submission form types DOS, DOS/A,
1-A, 1-A/A, and 1-A POS were updated to prevent a filer from entering a
response in Item 6(d) when the ``None'' option has been selected on
Item 6. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support this
functionality on September 14, 2015.

DATES: Effective October 2, 2015. The incorporation by reference of the
EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal Register
as of October 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume I, Volume II, and Volume III. The Filer Manual describes
the technical formatting requirements for the preparation and
submission of electronic filings through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also
describes the requirements for filing using EDGARLink Online and the
Online Forms/XML Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993,
with an effective date of April 26, 1993. Release No. 33-6986 (April
1, 1993) [58 FR 18638]. We implemented the most recent update to the
Filer Manual on August 3, 2015. See Release No. 33-9874 (August 24,
2015) [80 FR 51123].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,'' Version
23 (September 2015), Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 34 (September 2015), and Volume III entitled
EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume III: ``N-SAR Supplement,'' Version 5
(September 2015). The updated manual will be incorporated by reference
into the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for
filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system. Filers must comply
with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic
format.\2\ Filers may consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with our
rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents for
electronic submission.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
    \3\ See Release No. 33-9874 in which we implemented EDGAR
Release 15.2.2. For additional history of Filer Manual rules, please
see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 15.3 on September 14,
2015 and will introduce the following changes:
    As part of the final rules adopted on January 14, 2015 for
regulating security-based swap data repositories (SDR), the following
submission form types will be added to EDGAR: \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Security-Based Swap Data Repository Registration,
Duties, and Core Principles, Exchange Act Release No. 34-74246 (Feb.
11, 2015), 80 FR 14437 (March 9, 2015).

 SDR-CCO--Annual Compliance Report and Annual Financial Report
 SDR-CCO/A--Amendment to Annual Compliance Report and Annual
Financial Report

    These submission form types can be accessed by selecting the
`EDGARLink Online Form Submission' link on the EDGAR Filing Web site.
Additionally, applicants may construct XML submissions for SDR-CCO and
SDR-CCO/A by following the ``EDGARLink Online XML Technical
Specification'' document available on the SEC's Public Web site (http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml).
    Submission form types SDR-CCO and SDR-CCO/A will include the
``Request Confidentiality'' check box to allow applicants to request
confidential treatment for each attached document. After an SDR-CCO or
SDR-CCO/A filing is submitted, SEC staff will review the submission and
make a determination of whether the information for which confidential
treatment is requested should be made public. EDGAR will only
disseminate the attached documents of the submission that the SEC staff
has determined to be public.
    In connection with the Commission's revised rules and forms for
disclosure by asset-backed securities issuers, new exhibit EX-36
(Depositor Certification for shelf offerings of asset-backed
securities) will be available on EDGARLink Online for submission form
types SF-3, SF-3/A, 8-K, and 8-K/A.\5\ This change will allow
registrants to file a certification required for shelf offerings of
asset-backed securities as an EX-36. Filers will have the option to
attach exhibit EX-36 in official HTML or ASCII format (and unofficially
in PDF format) on submission form types SF-3 and SF-3/A and on
submission form types 8-K and 8-K/A, when the SIC code associated with
the Primary Filer CIK is 6189 (Asset-Backed Securities).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Asset-Backed Securities Disclosure and Registration,
Securities Act Release No. 33-9638 (September 4, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDGAR will be updated to include the following XBRL document types
for submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A, and SDR-W:

 EX-99.K SDR.INS, EX-99.K SDR.SCH, EX-99.K SDR.PRE, EX-99.K
SDR.LAB, EX-99.K SDR.CAL, and EX-99.K SDR.DEF
 EX-99.L SDR.INS, EX-99.L SDR.SCH, EX-99.L SDR.PRE, EX-99.L
SDR.LAB, EX-99.L SDR.CAL, and EX-99.L SDR.DEF

    Filers will now be able to submit SDR Exhibit K and Exhibit L in
XBRL format for submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A, and SDR-W.
Filers can continue to provide SDR Exhibit K and Exhibit L in ASCII or
HTML formats for submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A, and SDR-W.
    XBRL file attachments will be considered valid if they contain
multiple identically tagged XBRL facts.
    Documentation updates were made to Chapter 2 of the ``EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume I: General Information'' and Chapters 2, 3, and 7 of the
``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'' relating to Form NRSRO.
    Formatting changes were made to ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I:
General Information'', ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'',
and ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume III: N-SAR Supplement'' for compliance
with Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act.
    The Filer Manual is also being revised to address software changes
made previously in EDGAR. On July 10, 2015, EDGAR Release 15.2.e.4
introduced the following change:

 Regulation A submission form types DOS, DOS/A, 1-A, 1-A/A, and
1-A POS were updated to prevent a filer from entering a response in
Item 6(d) when the ``None'' option has been selected on Item 6.

    Along with the adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule
301 of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference
into the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.
    The updated EDGAR Filer Manual will be available for Web site
viewing and printing; the address for the Filer Manual is http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. You may also obtain paper copies of the
EDGAR Filer Manual from the following address: Public Reference Room,
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington,
DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and
3:00 p.m.
    Since the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule changes relate
solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and
comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA).\6\ It follows that

the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act \7\ do not apply.

    \6\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \7\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is October 2, 2015. In accordance with the APA,\8\ we find
that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 15.3 is scheduled to become available on September 14, 2015.
The Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than
30 days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the
effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.

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
the 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 expand the availability of RNAV in the south
Florida United States and improve the efficient flow of air traffic
within the NAS by lessening the dependency on ground-based navigation.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify 11
low altitude RNAV T-routes, and remove one T-route, in support of the
South-Central FL Metroplex Project.
    T-207: T-207 currently extends between the Ormond Beach, FL, (OMN)
VORTAC and the Waycross, GA, (AYS) VORTAC. This action proposes to
realign T-207 by moving the starting point from the Ormond Beach VORTAC
to the FOXAM, FL, waypoint (WP), which is approximately 15 nautical
miles (NM) north of the Ormond Beach VORTAC. The CARRA, FL, and the
MONIA, FL, Fixes would be removed from the route, and the segments
between the CARRA Fix and the Waycross, GA, (AYS) VORTAC would also be
removed. Instead, T-207 would begin at the FOXAM, FL, WP, then proceed
to the MMKAY, FL WP, then to a new end point at the WALEE, FL, WP
(located east of the Gators, FL, (GNV) VORTAC).
    T-208: T-208 currently extends between the WALEE, FL, WP, and the
SHANC, FL, WP. This action would remove the WALEE, FL, and the MMKAY,
FL, WPs from the route. The SIROC, GA, WP would be added as the new
start point of the route. The SAHND, FL, WP would be added between the
SIROC, GA, and the FOXAM, FL, WPs. After the FOXAM, FL, WP, T-208 would
proceed to the SHANC, FL, Fix, as currently depicted on the IFR Low
Altitude Chart.
    T-210: T-210 currently extends between the MARQO, FL, WP, and the
VARZE, FL, WP. The MARQO, FL, WP, and the BRADO, FL, Fix would be
removed from the route. The start point of the route would be moved to
the HADDE, FL, Fix, which is approximately 35 NM west of the MARQO, FL,
WP. The MISSM, FL, WP would be added between the HADDE, FL, Fix and the
OHLEE, FL, WP. After the OHLEE, FL, WP, the route would proceed to the
MMKAY, FL, WP, and then southward to the VARZE, FL, WP, as currently
charted.
    T-336: T-336 currently extends between the TROYR, FL, WP, and the
WIXED, FL, WP. The FAA proposes to amend the route by adding the FUTSY,
FL, WP, between the TROYR, FL, and OMMNI, FL, WPs. The VISTA, FL, WP
would be added between the OMMNI, FL, WP and the PUNQU, FL WP. The
WIXED, FL, WP (the current end point of the route) would be removed
from T-336. A new end point for the route would be established at the
VALKA, FL, Fix. The VALKA Fix is approximately 15 NM northwest of the
WIXED WP. As amended, T-336 would extend between the TROYR, FL, WP, and
the VALKA, FL, Fix.
    T-337: T-337 currently extends between the SWENY, FL, WP and the
WEZER, FL, WP. T-337 no longer provides the most efficient route into
or out of southwest FL, therefore, the FAA proposes to remove the
entire route.
    T-339: T-339 currently extends between the KARTR, FL, Fix and the
ODDEL, FL, Fix. This change would remove the KARTR Fix from the route.
The start point would be moved approximately 25 NM to the southeast

of the KARTR Fix to the existing CARNU, FL, Fix. From the CARNU Fix, T-
339 would proceed to the DEEDS, FL, Fix, and then proceed to the end
point at the ODDEL, FL, Fix as currently charted.
    T-341: T-341 currently extends between the MEAGN, FL, WP, and the
MARQO, FL WP. The FAA proposes to insert additional WPs along the route
as follows. The YELLZ, FL, WP would be inserted between the CUSEK, FL,
WP and the WEZER, FL, WP. The DULFN, FL, OMMNI, FL, and WHOOU, FL WPs
would be added between the VARSE, FL, and the MARQO, FL, WPs.
    T-343: T-343 currently extends between the WORPP, FL, Fix, and the
INDIA, FL, Fix. The WORPP Fix would be removed from the route and the
COOFS, FL, Fix would become the new start point for the route. The
COOFS Fix is approximately 2 NM southwest of the WORPP Fix.
    T-345: T-345 currently extends between the MARKT, FL WP, and the
DEARY, FL, Fix. The only proposed change to the route is removing the
DEARY, FL, Fix as the end point and substituting the VALKA, FL, Fix as
the new end point. This would realign the route between the LLNCH, FL,
Fix and the VALKA, FL, Fix to the east of its current track.
    T-347: T-347 currently extends between the CLEFF, FL, WP, and the
SEBAG, FL, Fix. This action proposes to move the start point from the
CLEFF, FL, WP southward to the SHANC, FL, Fix. This would extend T-347
southward by approximately 50 NM increasing the availability of RNAV
routing. In addition, the ODDEL, FL, Fix would be added between the
BAIRN, FL, Fix and the SABOT, FL, Fix. As amended, T-347 would extend
between the SHANC, FL, Fix and the SEBAG, FL, Fix.
    T-349: T-349 currently extends between the VARSE, FL, WP, and the
TROYR, FL, WP. The only proposed change to this route is the addition
of the MILOW, FL, WP, and the MURDE, FL, WP between the VARSE, FL, WP
and the TROYR, FL, WP. The alignment of T-349 would not be affected by
this change.
    T-353: T-353 currently extends between the FEBRO, FL, WP and the
ASTOR, FL, Fix.
    This action would remove the ASTOR, FL, Fix from the route and
establish a new end point for the route at the STARY, GA, Fix (located
18 NM northeast of the Brunswick, GA, (SSI) VORTAC. The COBOK, FL, Fix
and the SUBER, FL, Fix would be added between the FOXAM, FL, WP, and
the STARY, GA, Fix. This would result in the track of T-353 north of
the FOXAM WP being shifted to the east of its current alignment.
Additionally, moving the end point of the route from the ASTOR Fix to
the STARY Fix would provide approximately 80 NM of additional RNAV
routing to the NAS.
    United States RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6011 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 RNAV
routes listed in this document would be subsequently published in the
Order.
    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 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
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal 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.

Airworthiness Directives; MARS A.S. Parachutes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-05-
09, which applied to certain MARS A.S. emergency parachutes. AD 2022-
05-09 required removing emergency parachutes with certain manufacture
dates or serial numbers from service. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-05-
09, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) superseded its
mandatory continuing airworthiness

information (MCAI) to correct an unsafe condition on this aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as the length of the
ripcord between the pins being too long, which could cause a
malfunction of the emergency parachute. This AD retains the actions
required by AD 2022-05-09 and expands the applicability.

DATES: This AD is effective April 5, 2022.
    The FAA must receive any comments on this AD by May 5, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2022-05-09, Amendment 39-21960 (87 FR 10712,
February 25, 2022) (AD 2022-05-09), for certain MARS A.S. ATL-88/90-1B
(commercially known as ATL-15 SL) emergency parachutes with an
extension of static line made of Microline cord. AD 2022-05-09 was
prompted by MCAI originated by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Union. EASA issued EASA Emergency AD
2022-0018-E, dated January 28, 2022, to address malfunction of the
emergency parachute. AD 2022-05-09 required removing emergency
parachutes with certain manufacture dates or serial numbers from
service. The FAA issued AD 2022-05-09 to address failure of an
emergency parachute to deploy when needed.

Actions Since AD 2022-05-09 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2022-05-09, EASA superseded EASA Emergency
AD 2022-0018-E, dated January 28, 2022, and issued EASA Emergency AD
2022-0029-E, dated February 23, 2022 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI'') for MARS A.S. ATL-88/90-1B (commercially known as ATL-15 SL)
emergency parachutes, all serial numbers (s/n) manufactured from 2016.
The MCAI states:

    During the yearly inspection of one of the affected emergency
parachutes, it has been found that the length of the ripcord between
the pins was too large and, in some cases, only one of 2 loops of
the parachute could be opened when the manual ripcord was pulled.
Subsequent inspection revealed that the dimensions of the static
line extension were out of production tolerances. It is expected
that the manufacturer will develop a modification to restore the
airworthiness of affected emergency parachutes.
    This condition, if not corrected, could cause a malfunction of
the emergency parachute.
    To address this unsafe condition EASA issued Emergency AD 2022-
0018-E to require removal from service of the affected emergency
parachutes.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, following some additional
tests, it was determined that additional emergency parachutes s/n
may also be affected by this unsafe condition.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA Emergency AD 2022-0018-E, which is superseded,
and expands its Applicability.
    This [EASA] AD is still considered to be an interim measure and
further [EASA] AD action may follow.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-
0289.
    The results of the additional tests referenced in the MCAI showed
that even emergency parachutes with a metallic static line extension
(not made of Microline cord) failed to deploy.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed MarS a.s. letter titled ``Information for dealers
and users of the ATL-15 SL emergency parachute (ATL-88/90-1B),'' dated
January 27, 2022. This letter provides information for identifying and
suspending the use of affected emergency parachutes, which have an
extension of static line made of Microline cord that was manufactured
outside of production tolerances. EASA has since determined that the
unsafe condition exists regardless of the design of the static line
extension.

AD Requirements

    This AD applies to emergency parachutes with certain manufacture
dates and requires removing those emergency parachutes from service.
This AD retains the actions required by AD 2022-05-09 and expands the
applicability.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI requires storing emergency parachutes in the unrigged
condition in storage containers and visibly mark those storage
containers with the words ``Parachute not airworthy. Do not use until
further notice,'' while this AD requires removing the emergency
parachutes from service.
    This AD also requires removing from service any emergency parachute
where the manufacture date is unknown, and the MCAI does not include
that requirement.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. If final action
is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because failure of an emergency parachute to deploy when needed will
lead to the parachutist freefalling to the surface without being
slowed, resulting in serious injury or death. Thus, the affected
parachutes must be removed from service as of the effective date of
this AD. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    The FAA has also found that the risk to the flying public justifies
foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
there are no affected emergency parachutes used in the United States
and thus, it is unlikely that the FAA will receive any adverse comments
or useful information about this AD from U.S. operators. Accordingly,
notice and opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forego notice and
comment.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-0289 and Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-00254-Q'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent Darren
Gassetto, COS Program Manager, Boston ACO Branch, Compliance &
Airworthiness Division, FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA
01803. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically
designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD does not affect any emergency
parachutes used in the United States. According to the manufacturer,
none of the affected emergency parachutes were sold through its
distributors in the United States. In the event an affected emergency
parachute is brought into the United States, the following is an
estimate of the costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

Remove emergency parachute from service.  0.5 work-hour x $85.00 per  Not Applicable............          $42.50
                                           hour = $42.50.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve and conditionally approve revisions to the State of
California's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the San Joaquin Valley
(SJV) area. The revisions consist of an update to the Motor Vehicle
Emissions Budgets (``budgets'') for nitrogen oxides (NOX)
and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for the 1997 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or ``standard'') for the
SJV ozone nonattainment area and for NOX and coarse
particulate matter (PM10) for the 1987 24-hour
PM10 standard for the SJV PM10 maintenance area.
The EPA is approving the SJV ozone revised budgets and conditionally
approving the PM10 budgets in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') and the EPA's
regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective on September 30, 2016.

I. Proposed Action

    On May 18, 2016 (81 FR 31212), the EPA proposed, under section
110(k)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act''), to approve a revision
to the California SIP submitted by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) on November 13, 2015.\1\ The SIP submittal revises budgets
applicable to control strategy or maintenance plans for the SJV for the
1997 8-hour ozone standard, 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard, and
the 1987 24-hour PM10 standard.\2\ In our May 18, 2016
action, we proposed to approve revised budgets for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard. We also
proposed to conditionally approve revised budgets for the 1987 24-hour
PM10 standard. CARB developed the revised budgets using
EMFAC2014 and the travel activity projections provided by the SJV
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) consistent with the 2015
Federal Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). As such, the revised
budgets reflect the most recent planning forecasts and are based on the
most recent emission factor data and approved calculation methods.

    \1\ Letter, Richard W. Corey, Executive Officer, CARB to Jared
Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator, EPA Region 9, November 13, 2015
with enclosures.
    \2\ For all three pollutants, the SJV nonattainment area
includes all of seven counties, including Fresno, Kings, Madera,
Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare counties, and the
western half of Kern County. See the NAAQS-specific tables in 40 CFR
81.305.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA previously approved the SJV budgets for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard and the 24-hour PM10 standard. The ozone
budgets were

included in the EPA's approval of the SJV 2007 8-hour Ozone Plan
(``2007 Ozone Plan'') at 77 FR 12652 (March 1, 2012), which established
NOX and VOC \3\ budgets for 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020, and
2023.\4\ The PM10 budgets were included in the EPA's
approval of the 2007 PM10 Maintenance Plan and Request for
Redesignation (``2007 PM10 Plan'') at 73 FR 66759 (November
12, 2008), which established direct PM10 and NOX
budgets for 2005 and 2020.\5\ The SJV budgets for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 standard were included in the EPA's proposed approval
of the SJV 2012 PM2.5 Plan (``2012 PM2.5 Plan'')
at 80 FR 1816 (January 13, 2015). The EPA found the 2017
PM2.5 budgets in the SJV 2012 PM2.5 Plan to be
adequate at 81 FR 22194 (April 15, 2016), establishing direct
PM2.5 and NOX budgets for 2017. As of May 2,
2016, these budgets must be used to determine conformity of
transportation plans and TIPs to the control strategy plan for the SJV
for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ California plans sometimes use the term Reactive Organic
Gases (ROG) for VOC. These terms are essentially synonymous. For
simplicity, we use the term VOC herein to mean either VOC or ROG.
    \4\ The approved 2007 Ozone Plan includes the SJV 2007 Ozone
Plan (as revised 2008 and 2011) and SJV-related portions of CARB's
2007 State Strategy (revised 2009 and 2011).
    \5\ The approved SIP includes the 2007 PM10
Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation, September 20, 2007,
and technical corrections by CARB to the 2020 budgets for Merced,
San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tulare counties in the 2007
PM10 Plan. See May 13, 2008 letter to Wayne Nastri from
James N. Goldstene.
    \6\ Also see letter, Elizabeth J. Adams, Deputy Director, Air
Division, EPA Region 9, to Richard W. Corey, Executive Officer,
CARB, April 1, 2016 with enclosures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In our May 18, 2016 proposed rule, we reviewed the revised budgets
for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard in the November 13, 2015 submittal,
evaluated them for compliance with statutory and regulatory
requirements, and concluded that they meet all applicable requirements.
More specifically, under CAA section 110(k)(3), we proposed to approve
the revised VOC and NOX budgets in table 1 for 2017, 2020,
and 2023 for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. We determined that
replacement of the current approved budgets with the revised VOC and
NOX budgets would not interfere with the approved RFP and
attainment demonstrations for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard in the SJV
and emissions changes in non-motor vehicle emissions categories do not
change the overall conclusions of the 2007 Ozone Plan.

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

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

    \7\ The county-specific budgets are set forth in attachment A to
CARB Resolution 15-50. Attachment A constitutes the SIP revision
adopted by CARB on October 22, 2015 and submitted on November 13,
2015. CARB provided information and analysis supporting the SIP
revision in a staff report titled Updated Transportation Conformity
Budgets for the San Joaquin Valley Ozone, PM2.5, and
PM10 State Implementation Plans, release date September
21, 2015.
    \8\ CARB calculated the revised budgets for the SJV plans by
taking the sum of the county-by-county emissions results from EMFAC
and rounding the SJV-wide total up to the nearest whole ton for
NOX and to the nearest tenth of a ton for VOC and
PM10; then re-allocating to the individual counties based
on the ratio of each county's contribution to the total; and then
rounding each county's emissions to the nearest tenth of a ton using
the conventional rounding method.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, under CAA section 110(k)(4), the EPA proposed to
conditionally approve the revised direct PM10 and
NOX budgets in table 2 for 2020 for the 24-hour
PM10 standard. We determined that, when combined with
implementation of the contingency plan in the SIP-approved 2007
PM10 Plan and fulfillment of the commitments in the State's
April 29, 2016 letter, the revised direct PM10 and
NOX budgets will allow the SJV to continue to demonstrate
maintenance of the 24-hour PM10 standard. The contents of
the State's April 29, 2016 letter are described in detail in our
proposed rule on pages 31220 and 31221. In our proposal, we explained
that if the conditional approval is finalized, CARB must adopt and
submit the SIP revisions that it has committed to submit by June 1,
2017. The resulting impacts if CARB fails to comply with this
commitment are explained below in section III of today's action.

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

    \9\ The county-specific budgets are set forth in attachment A to
CARB Resolution 15-50. Attachment A constitutes the SIP revision
adopted by CARB on October 22, 2015 and submitted on November 13,
2015. CARB provided information and analysis supporting the SIP
revision in a staff report titled Updated Transportation Conformity
Budgets for the San Joaquin Valley Ozone, PM2.5, and
PM10 State Implementation Plans, release date September
21, 2015.
    \10\ CARB calculated the revised budgets for the SJV plans by
taking the sum of the county-by-county emissions results from EMFAC
and rounding the SJV-wide total up to the nearest whole ton for
NOX and to the nearest tenth of a ton for VOC and
PM10; then re-allocating to the individual counties based
on the ratio of each county's contribution to the total; and then
rounding each county's emissions to the nearest tenth of a ton using
the conventional rounding method.

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

    Third, the EPA also proposed to approve the revised direct
PM2.5 and NOX budgets for 2017 for the 2006 24-
hour PM2.5 standard. We determined that: (1) Replacement of
the current adequate budgets with the revised budgets would be
consistent with our separate proposal finding that the 2012
PM2.5 Plan demonstrates RFP for year 2017; (2) emissions
changes in non-motor vehicle emissions categories do not change the
overall conclusion of the 2012 PM2.5 Plan; and (3) the
revised budgets meet the adequacy criteria in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4)(i)-
(vi). Because the EPA has yet to finalize its approval of 2012
PM2.5 Plan, we are not able to finalize, in today's action,
our approval of the revised direct PM2.5 and NOX
budgets for 2017 in CARB's submittal dated November 13, 2015 for the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard. The EPA expects to take final
action on the revised PM2.5 budgets for 2017 as part of its
final action on the 2012 PM2.5 Plan for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 standard.
    Lastly, on the effective date of today's action, the previously-
approved budgets for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard and the 1987 24-
hour PM10 standard would no longer be applicable for
transportation conformity purposes, and the SJV MPOs and the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) must use the revised budgets for
future transportation conformity determinations.
    Please see our May 18, 2016 proposed rule for more information
concerning the background for this action and for a more detailed
discussion of the rationale for approval of the revised budgets.

II. Public Comments

    Our May 18, 2016 proposed rule provided a 30-day public comment
period, which closed on June 17, 2016. We received no comments on our
proposal during this period.

III. Final Action

    For the reasons discussed in the May 18, 2016 proposed rule and
summarized above, the EPA is approving, or conditionally approving,
revised motor vehicle emissions budgets submitted on November 13, 2015
by CARB for the SJV area as a revision to the California SIP. More
specifically, the EPA is approving, under CAA section 110(k)(3),
revised VOC and NOX budgets shown in table 1 above for 2017,
2020, and 2023 for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. The EPA is
conditionally approving, under CAA section 110(k)(4), the revised
direct PM10 and NOX budgets shown in table 2
above for 2020 for the 24-hour PM10 standard. CARB must
adopt and submit the SIP revisions that it has committed to submit by
June 1, 2017, as described in their April 29, 2016 letter. If CARB
fails to comply with this commitment, the conditional approval will
convert to a disapproval. Disapproval of the revised budgets for the
2007 PM10 Plan would reinstate the existing approved budgets
as the budgets that must be used in transportation plan and TIP
conformity determinations after the effective date of the disapproval.
See 40 CFR 93.109(c)(1).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Because the submittal of the revised budgets is not a
required submittal, disapproval would not trigger sanctions under
CAA section 179(a)(2) but would nonetheless trigger a two-year clock
for a federal implementation plan under CAA section 110(c).
Disapproval would not trigger a transportation conformity freeze
because the disapproval does not affect a control strategy
implementation plan as defined in the transportation conformity
rule. See 40 CFR 93.101 and 93.120(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves revisions to motor vehicle emission budgets 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 CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires the EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have tribal implications.'' ``Policies that
have Tribal implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include
regulations that have ``substantial direct effects on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and
the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal government and Indian Tribes.''
    Eight Indian tribes are located within the boundaries of the SJV
air quality planning area for the 1997 8-hours ozone standard and 24-
hour PM10 standard: The Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono Indians
of California, the Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians of
California, the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, the
Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California, the Santa Rosa
Rancheria of the Tachi Yokut Tribe, the Table Mountain Rancheria of
California, the Tejon Indian Tribe, and the Tule River Indian Tribe of
the Tule River Reservation.
    The EPA's approval into the SIP of the SJV revised budgets
submitted by CARB would not have tribal implications because 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 SIP approvals do
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). Therefore, the EPA has concluded that the
action will not have tribal implications for the purposes of Executive
Order 13175, and will not impose substantial direct costs upon the
tribes, nor will it preempt Tribal law. We note that none of the tribes
located in the SJV has requested eligibility to administer programs
under the CAA.
    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 October 11, 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. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

updating the motor vehicle emissions budgets for nitrogen oxides
(NOX) and coarse particulate matter (PM10) for
the 1987 24-hour PM10 standard for the San Joaquin Valley
PM10 maintenance area. The conditional approval is based on
a commitment from the State to submit a SIP revision that demonstrates
full implementation of the contingency provisions of the 2007
PM10 Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation
(September 20, 2007). If the State fails to meets its commitment by
June 1, 2017, the approval is treated as a disapproval.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

SpongeTech Delivery Systems, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

October 5, 2009.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
SpongeTech Delivery Systems, Inc. (``SpongeTech'') because questions
have arisen regarding the accuracy of assertions in press releases to
investors and in periodic reports filed with the Commission concerning,
among other things: (1) The amount of sales and customer orders
received by the company; (2) the company's investment agreements; and
(3) the company's revenues as reported in its financial statements. In
addition, SpongeTech has not filed any periodic reports with the
Commission since the period ended February 28, 2009.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    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. EDT, on
October 5, 2009 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on October 16, 2009.

    By the Commission.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
