SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    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 in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. 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 submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing a summary of the pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment of regulations in 40 CFR part
180.587 for residues of famoxadone in or on caneberry. EPA has
determined that this pesticide petition contains data or information
regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA section 408(d)(2); however,
EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support granting of the pesticide
petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on this
pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with a description of the
analytical method available for the detection and measurement of
famoxadone residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at http://www.regulations.gov/.
 To locate this information on the home page of

EPA's Electronic Docket, select ``Quick

Search'' and type the OPP docket ID number. Once the search has located
the docket, clicking on the ``Docket ID'' will bring up a list of all
documents in the docket for the pesticide including the petition
summary.

New Tolerances

    PP 6E7099. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500
College Road East, Suite 201 West, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to
establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide, famoxadone (3-
anilino-5-methyl-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione) in or
on caneberry at 11 parts per million (ppm).
    An analytical enforcement method is available for determining
famoxadone plant residues in or on potatoes, cucurbit vegetables
(cucumbers, melons, and squash), fruiting vegetables (tomatoes,
peppers), and head lettuce using gas-liquid chromatography (GC) with
nitrogen phosphorus detection (NPD). The method is applicable to high
and medium moisture, oily and non-oily crops and related matrices. The
limit of quantitation (LOQ) is 0.02 ppm. The analytical enforcement for
use on tomato processed fractions and also the RAC, tomato, utilizes
column switching liquid chromatography with ultraviolet (UV) detection.
The LOQ is 0.02 ppm. The LOQ in each method allows monitoring of crops
with famoxadone residues at or above the levels proposed in these
tolerances.

JET FALCON and FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes. AD
2019-07-01 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements. Since the FAA
issued AD 2019-07-01, the FAA has determined that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD
would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

    The FAA issued AD 2019-07-01, Amendment 39-19612 (84 FR 16390,
April 19, 2019) (``AD 2019-07-01''), for certain Dassault Aviation
Model FAN JET FALCON and FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G
airplanes. AD 2019-07-01 requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements. AD
2019-07-01 resulted from a determination of the need for a revision to
the airplane airworthiness limitations to introduce changes to the
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued
AD 2019-07-01 to address, among other things, fatigue cracking and
damage in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking and
damage could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    AD 2019-07-01 specifies that accomplishing the revision required by
paragraph (g) of that AD terminates all requirements of AD 2014-26-07,
Amendment 39-18058 (80 FR 2815, January 21, 2015) (``AD 2014-26-07'').

Actions Since AD 2019-07-01 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2019-07-01, the FAA has determined that new
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.
    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0141, dated June 17, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0141'') (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET FALCON and
FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address, among other things, fatigue cracking and
damage in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking and
damage could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0141 describes new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
    This AD would also require Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations,
DGT 131028, Revision 17, dated September 2017, of the Dassault Aviation
Falcon 20 Maintenance Manual, which the Director of the Federal
Register approved for incorporation by reference as of May 24, 2019 (84
FR 16390, April 19, 2019).
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2019-07-01.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA AD
2019-0141 described previously, as incorporated by reference. Any
differences with EASA AD 2019-0141 are identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(l)(1) of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2019-0141
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2019-0141 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that operators need comply only
with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to
``all required actions and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD
requirement is not limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s)
and Compliance Time(s)'' in the EASA AD.
    Service information specified in EASA AD 2019-0141 that is required
for compliance with EASA AD 2019-0141 will be available on the internet
at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2020-0582 after the FAA final rule is published.

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process

    The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
    For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c).

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 168 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from

AD 2019-07-01 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the agency has estimated that this action
takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance
or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for
the new proposed actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).

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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

a. Removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-26-07, Amendment 39-18058
(80 FR 2815, January 21, 2015); and AD 2019-07-01, Amendment 39-19612
(84 FR 16390, April 19, 2019); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:

Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA-2020-0582; Product Identifier
2020-NM-059-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments by August 31, 2020.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2014-26-07, Amendment 39-18058 (80 FR 2815,
January 21, 2015) (``AD 2014-26-07''); and AD 2019-07-01, Amendment
39-19612 (84 FR 16390, April 19, 2019) (``AD 2019-07-01'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the Dassault Aviation airplanes specified in
paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this AD, certificated in any category,
as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2019-0141, dated June 17, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-0141'').
    (1) Model FAN JET FALCON airplanes.
    (2) Model FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, and G airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address, among other things, fatigue cracking and
damage in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking and
damage could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision, With No
Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2019-07-01, with no changes. Within 12 months after May 24, 2019
(the effective date of AD 2019-07-01), revise the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the
airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements specified in
Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, DGT 131028, Revision 17,
dated September 2017, of the Dassault Aviation Falcon 20 Maintenance
Manual. The initial compliance time for accomplishing the actions is
at the applicable time specified in Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness
Limitations, DGT 131028, Revision 17, dated September 2017, of the
Dassault Aviation Falcon 20 Maintenance Manual or within 12 months
after May 24, 2019, whichever occurs later. Where the threshold
column in the table in paragraph B, Mandatory Maintenance
Operations, of Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations, DGT 131028,
Revision 17, dated September 2017, of the Dassault Aviation Falcon
20 Maintenance Manual specifies a compliance time in years, those
compliance times are since the date of issuance of the original
French or EASA airworthiness certificate or date of issuance of the
original French or EASA export certificate of airworthiness.
Accomplishing the maintenance or inspection program revision
required by paragraph (i) of this AD terminates the requirements of
this paragraph.

(h) Retained Restrictions on Alternative Actions and Intervals With a
New Exception

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2019-07-01, with a new exception. Except as required by paragraph
(i) of this AD, after accomplishing the revision required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections)
or intervals may be used unless the actions or intervals are
approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance
with the procedures specified in paragraph (l)(1) of this AD.

(i) New Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

    Except as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0141. Accomplishing the maintenance or
inspection program revision required by this paragraph terminates
the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD.

(j) Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0141

    (1) The requirements specified in paragraphs (1), (2), (4), and
(5) of EASA AD 2019-0141 do not apply to this AD.
    (2) Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0141 specifies revising ``the
approved AMP'' within 12 months after its effective date, but this
AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the ``limitations, tasks and
associated thresholds and intervals'' specified in paragraph (3) of
EASA AD 2019-0141 within 90 days after the effective date of this
AD.

    (3) The initial compliance time for doing the tasks specified in
paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0141 is at the applicable ``associated
thresholds'' specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0141, or
within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs
later.
    (4) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0141 does not apply
to this AD.

(k) New Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals

    After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as
required by paragraph (i) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals are allowed except as specified in the
provisions of the ``Ref. Publications'' section of EASA AD 2019-
0141.

(l) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Large Aircraft Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, has
the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the Large Aircraft Section, International Validation
Branch, send it to the attention of the person identified in
paragraph (m)(4) of this AD. Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (i) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (ii) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2019-07-01 are approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of EASA AD 2019-0141 that are
required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, Large Aircraft

1 Introduction to Questions to the Panel Level II,

Terrestrial Investigation Model,

Version 2.0 2 1. Guild Parameters Used for Defining Generic Species The process for defining generic species described in this document separated species into guilds based on three parameters:

° feeding substrate,

° nesting substrate, and ° food type. 3 Question 1 cont'd a. Please comment on the representative guilds used to define the generic organisms.

b. Are there any additional parameters that need to be considered when defining the guilds and associated generic representatives for a Level II assessment? If so, please identify.

c. Please provide direction on the appropriate application of the additional parameter( s) in defining the generic species and provide discussion on how the additional parameters will improve the characterization of the uncertainty in risk estimate. 4 2. Assigning Values to Generic Species Variables Four variables were used to define a generic species: body weight, frequency on field, food type and persistence factor. Values for each variable were established as follows:

° Body Weight: Selected as the smallest species within each guild ° Frequency on Field: Selected as the 95th percentile of available observations for species within the guild 5 Question 2 cont'd ° Food Type: Assumed obligate feeders for granivore, insectivore, and herbivore acknowledging that omnivore exposures would be bracketed by these groups.

° Persistence Factor: Values assigned to reflect past SAP comments that repetitive behavior patterns be included in the assessment. 6 Question 2 cont'd a. Please comment on whether the methods used for establishing values and their results appear to be appropriate for generic species for a Level II assessment.

b. Does the SAP believe that more rigorous analysis is necessary or indeed possible for generic species? Or, should such an in depth analysis be more appropriately applied at the species specific level of assessment? Please explain. 7 3. Bimodal Feeding Pattern & Serial Correlation of Foraging Events The model was modified to incorporate hourly choices for foraging areas, a bimodal feeding pattern, and to account for serial correlation in sequential foraging events.

a. Please comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the modified algorithm in representing avian feeding behavior for the more vulnerable species in agro ecosystems.

b. Please provide additional suggestions for modifications in the algorithm to more closely represent avian activity patterns. 8 c. Please provide direction on the appropriate application of the additional modifications and provide discussion on how the modifications will improve the characterization of the uncertainty in risk estimates. 9 4. New Puddle Algorithm A new puddle algorithm was developed to account for a number of parameters that affect puddling after a rainfall event in agro environments. The new algorithm addresses rainfall amount, rainfall duration, soil infiltration rates, evaporation,

degradation and the stochastic nature of field topography and its relation to puddle formation and duration. 10 Question 4 cont'd a. Please comment on the overall model structure in relation to mimicking puddles in agroenvironments including any suggestions on modifications or additional parameters to considered that would improve pesticide concentration estimates in this environmental media.

b. Please provide suggestions for assigning values to puddle input variables and for locating additional sources of information that may help in defining these values. 11 5. Air Concentration Estimation The model currently employs an equilibrium based two compartmental model, for estimating pesticide air concentration in the plant canopy.

° Please comment on the merits and limitations of this approaches.

° Would the SAP provide suggestions on additional alternatives for estimating vapor phase concentrations that would be consistent with the physical/ chemical property and environmental fate data available to the Agency as guideline information? Please comment on the merits and limitations of these additional approaches. 12 6. Relating Inhalation Exposure to Oral Exposure Toxicity Endpoints The absence of avian inhalation toxicity data and the need to track all exposure routes simultaneously has lead to the development of a method to relate inhalation exposures to oraldose equivalents. The method uses the relationship between mammalian inhalation and oral acute toxicity endpoints along with an adjustment factor to account for some basic physiological differences between the mammalian and avian lungs assumed important to inhaled pesticide bioavailability. 13 Question 6 cont'd a. Please comment on whether OPP's proposed approach for relating inhalation exposure to oraldose equivalents addresses SAP's previous comments concerning the use of the mammalian inhalation/ oral relationship for estimating toxicity in birds.

b. Please provide suggestions on alternatives for estimating avian inhalation toxicity that would be consistent with the kinds of toxicity data generally available to the Agency. 14 7. Estimating Dermal Exposure The incidental dermal contact model relies on methods currently employed by the OPP's Health Effects Division that rely on estimates of foliar contact and dislodgeable foliar residues to estimate an external dermal dose.

a. Please comment on applying this general approach to birds and whether any other model alternatives have been used for wildlife dermal exposure. 15 b. If alternative models for estimating dermal exposure for birds are available, please discuss their advantages and limitations in comparison to the proposed model. 16 Question 7 cont'd c. Please comment on the following:

1.) The reliance on the lower leg and foot as the significant contact area for birds. Are other portions of avian anatomy significant? If so,

which other areas should be included?

2.) Recognizing that the use of human foliar contact data has limitations, can the SAP share any insights on available data that would allow for a more specific foliar contact rate estimate for birds?

3.) Is the SAP aware of any data specific to pesticide foliar residue transfer coefficients for wildlife? If so, please identify. 17 8. Relating Dermal Exposure to Oral Exposure Toxicity Endpoints The general absence of avian dermal toxicity data and the need to track all exposure routes simultaneously have lead to the development of a method to relate dermal exposures to oraldose equivalents. The method uses existing avian dermal toxicity for a subset of pesticides to establish a relationship between avian dermal 18 Question 8 cont'd approach and oral acute toxicity endpoints. It is recognized that this is statistically limited with regards to the strength of that relationship, and that this method is constrained by the limited number of pesticide modes of action considered.

° Please provide suggestions regarding other route normalization techniques. 19 9. Physiologically based TK Modeling The methods developed to estimate risk from multimedia and different routes of exposure are based on external dose estimates that do not directly account for physiological, morphological,

and biochemical processes that underlie the TK behavior of a pesticide. In human health and aquatic life risk assessments for drugs, and in some cases environmental contaminants, use of 20 Question 9 cont'd physiologically based PB TK models, are beginning to be employed to derive internal dose estimates for more refined dose response analyses and to support route to route and interspecies extrapolation. In this regard, PB TK modeling was mentioned by the SAP during the 2001 review of the case studies. 21 Question 9 cont'd a. If you are aware of any developmental work on avian PB TK models since 2001, please discuss.

Is the SAP aware of information sources that have compiled measured physiological,

morphological, and/ or biochemical parameters that are required to develop avian PB TK models? If so, please comment. 22 Question 9 cont'd b. Recognizing that research to support PB TK models is a long term and collaborative endeavor across the Agency and the scientific community, identifying potential applications in a risk assessment context can provide insights for prioritizing developmental efforts. In this regard,

any suggestions by the SAP in terms of an incremental application of physiologically based perspectives in problem formulation, analysis 23 Question 9 cont'd and/ or the risk characterization phases of an assessment would be welcomed. In addition,

any suggestions that may be helpful to the broader scientific community in terms of research priorities to develop avian PB TK models would be appreciated.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64326; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2011-057]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change by NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC
Relating to the $2.50 Strike Price Program

April 22, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on April 18, 2011, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC proposes to amend Section 6, Series of
Options Open for Trading, of Chapter IV, Securities Traded on NOM, to
expand the $2.50 Strike Price Program, which applies to NASDAQ members
using the NASDAQ Options Market (``NOM'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.nasdaq.cchwallstreet.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. 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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to expand the
Exchange's ability to select option classes on individual stocks for
which the intervals of strike prices will be $2.50 to list for trading.
    The Exchange recently expanded its $2.50 Strike Price Program
(``Program'') \3\ to permit the listing of options with $2.50 strike
price intervals for options with strike prices between $50 and $100,
provided the $2.50 strike price intervals are no more than $10 from the
closing price of the underlying stock in the primary market.\4\ The
Exchange currently list [sic] series at $2.50 strike price intervals in
any multiply traded option once another exchange has selected that
option to be a part of the program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ In 2007, NOM proposed to participate in the $2.50 Strike
Price Program. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 40662
(November 12, 1998), 63 FR 64297 (November 19, 1998) (order
approving File Nos. SR-Amex-98-21; SR-CBOE-98-29; SR-PCX-98-31; and
SR-Phlx-98-26) (``1998 Order'') and 52893 (December 5, 2005), 70 FR
73488 (December 12, 2005) (order approving File No. SR-Amex-2005-
067). NOM participates in the $2.50 Strike Price Program on the same
terms and conditions as the other options exchanges. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 57478 (March 12, 2008), 73 FR 14521 (March
18, 2008) (SR-NASDAQ-2007-004 and SR-NASDAQ-2007-080). See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64157 (March 31, 2011), 76 FR
18817 (April 5, 2011) (SR-Phlx-2011-15).
    \4\ The term ``primary market'' is defined in Exchange Rule 1000
in respect of an underlying stock or exchange-traded fund share as
the principal market in which the underlying stock or exchange-
traded fund share is traded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend Chapter IV, Section 6 at Commentary
.03 to specify that it may select up to sixty (60) option classes on
individual stocks for which the intervals of strike prices will be
$2.50 in addition to options selected by another exchange as part of
the $2.50 Strike Price Program.
    NOM has participated in the industry wide $2.50 Strike Price
Program since NOM's inception in 2007. Currently, other options
exchanges select up to 60 option classes on individual stocks for which
the intervals of strike prices will be $2.50.\5\ In addition, each
options exchange is permitted to list options with $2.50 strike price
intervals on any option class that another options exchange selects
under its program. Also, significantly more options classes are trading
in 2011 as compared to 2007. The Exchange proposes to specify that it
may select up to 60 options classes to remain competitive with other
exchanges and to offer investors additional investment choices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''), NASDAQ
OMX PHLX LLC (``Phlx''), and Chicago Board Options Exchange
(``CBOE'') may select up to 60 option classes on individual stocks
for which the intervals of strike prices will be $2.50. See
Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 64258 (April 8, 2011), 76 FR
20764 (April 13, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-23), 63914 (February 15, 2011)
and 76 FR 9846 (February 22, 2011) (SR-Phlx-2011-15).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the Exchange does not believe that this proposal would
have a negative impact on the marketplace. The Exchange would compare
this proposal with the $1 Strike Price expansion, wherein NOM expanded
its $1 Strike Price Program from 55 individual stocks to 150 individual
stocks on which an option series may list at $1 strike price
intervals.\6\ The Exchange believes that this proposed rule change that
would, in part, result in an increase to overall options classes in the
industry wide Program, is less than the $1 Strike Price

Program increase, which also occurred among several exchanges
participating in the program. The Exchange believes that this proposal
would have less impact than the $1 Strike Program increase, which did
not have any negative impact on the market in terms of proliferation of
quote volume or fragmentation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Release Act No. 62451 (July 6,
2010), 75 FR 40001 (July 13, 2010) (SR-NASDAQ-2010-083).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the effect of the proposed expansion on
the marketplace would not result in a material proliferation of quote
volume or concerns with fragmentation. With regard to the impact of
this proposal on system capacity, the Exchange has analyzed its
capacity and represents that it and the Options Price Reporting
Authority have the necessary system capacity to handle the potential
additional traffic associated with the listing and trading of classes
on individual stocks in the $2.50 Strike Price Program.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest.
The Exchange believes that the effect of the proposed expansion on the
marketplace would not result in a material proliferation of quote
volume or concerns with fragmentation. In addition, the Exchange
believes that it has the necessary system capacity to handle the
potential additional traffic associated with the listing and trading of
classes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the $2.50 Strike Price Program proposal would
provide the investing public and other market participants increased
opportunities to better manage their risk exposure. While expansion of
the $2.50 Strike Price Program may generate additional quote traffic,
the Exchange does not believe that this increased traffic will become
unmanageable since the proposal is limited to a fixed number of
classes. Further, the Exchange does not believe that the proposal will
result in a material proliferation of additional series because it is
limited to a fixed number of classes.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not
impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does
not become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Commission has waived the five-day prefiling requirement in this
case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Commission believes that waiver of the operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest because the proposal is substantially similar to that of
another exchange that has been approved by the Commission.\11\
Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64157 (March 31,
2011), 76 FR 18817 (April 5, 2011) (SR-Phlx-2011-15) (order
approving expansion of $2.50 Strike Price Program).
    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
