SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64570; File No. SR-BX-2011-029]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposal To Permit the Exchange To
List Series With Additional Expiration Months If Such Series Are Listed
on Another Exchange

May 31, 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 May 23, 2011, NASDAQ OMX BX (the ``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 Exchange has designated the proposed rule
change as constituting a non-controversial rule change under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) under the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Rules of the Boston Options
Exchange Group, LLC (``BOX'') to permit the Exchange to list additional
expiration months if such expiration months are listed on another
exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the
Exchange's principal office, at http://www.nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and at the
Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

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 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 the proposed rule change is to amend the BOX Trading
Rules to permit the Exchange to list additional expiration months if
such expiration months are listed on another exchange. This filing is
based on a filing previously submitted by the International Securities
Exchange, LLC.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64343 (April 26,
2011) 76 FR 24546 (May 2, 2011) (SR-ISE-2011-26).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under current Chapter IV, Section 6 of the BOX Trading Rules, the
Exchange usually will open four (4) Expiration months for each type of
option of a class of options open for trading on BOX: the first two (2)
being the two nearest months, regardless of the quarterly cycle on
which that class trades; the third and fourth being the next two months
of the quarterly cycle previously designated by the Exchange for that
specific class. For example, if the Exchange listed in late September a
new stock option on a January-April-July-October quarterly cycle, the
Exchange would list the two nearest-term months (October and November)
and the next two expiration months of the cycle (January and April).
Further, when the October series expire, the Exchange would add the
December series as the next nearest month. And when the November series
expire, the Exchange would add the July series as the next month of the
cycle.

    In 2010, the Exchange established a pilot program to add up to two
additional expiration months for each class of options opened for
trading on BOX (the ``Additional Expiration Months Pilot'').\5\ Under
the Additional Expiration Months Pilot, the Exchange lists expiration
months that are considered ``mid-month.'' For example, for options
classes that have expiration months of October, November, January, and
April, the Exchange lists the December series. For options classes that
have expiration months of October, November, February and May, the
Exchange lists the December and January series. The listing of
additional expiration months has been well-received by BOX Options
Participants and has had a very limited impact on system resources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63321 (November 16,
2010) 75 FR 71163 (November 22, 2010) (SR-BX-2010-077).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ISE submitted a similar filing to one submitted by NASDAQ OMX PHLX,
Inc. (``PHLX'').\6\ PHLX recently submitted a filing to adopt rules
that permit it to list an unlimited number of expiration months and
series for each class of standard options opened for trading on that
exchange. Specifically, PHLX amended its rules so that it can open ``at
least one expiration month'' for each class of standard options open
for trading on that exchange. Consequently, while the Exchange is
currently restricted to listing a limited number of expiration months
that are permissible under its rules and the Additional Expiration
Months Pilot, PHLX has the ability to list an unlimited number of
expiration months, including those that the Exchange would not be able
to currently list under its rules. Indeed, PHLX has listed additional
expiration months that no other market, including the Exchange, could
list at the time they were added. For example, in February 2011, PHLX
listed the October 2011 expiration in Omnicare, Inc. (ticker: OCR).
PHLX was able to list that expiration month based on its amended rule.
Meanwhile, the Exchange could not list the October 2011 series under
Chapter IV, Section 6(a) of the BOX Trading Rules because the standard
expiration months for OCR in February are March, April, June, and
September. The Exchange also could not list the October 2011 series as
part of the Additional Expiration Months Pilot because OCR is not one
of the classes selected by BOX to participate in the Additional
Expiration Months Pilot. As a result, PHLX was the only exchange that
listed the October 2011 series in OCR and traded that series without
any competition until recently when other options exchanges amended
their rules to permit its listing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63700 (January 11,
2011) 76 FR 2931 (January 18, 2011) (SR-PHLX-2011-04). In its
filing, PHLX cites to the Commission's approval of the NASDAQ
Options Market and rules pertaining thereto as the basis for making
the change to its rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For competitive reasons, the Exchange now proposes to add new
Supplementary Material .09 to its Chapter IV, Section 6 and
Supplementary Material .03 to Chapter XIV, Section 10 of the BOX
Trading Rules to permit the Exchange to list additional expiration
months on options classes opened for trading on BOX if such expiration
months are opened for trading on at least one other national securities
exchange. This proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to match
the listing of expiration months that PHLX, NOM, ISE, or other
exchanges list in the event the Exchange is not able to list those
expiration months because they do not comport to BOX Trading Rules or
the Additional Expiration Months Pilot.
    BOX notes that the proposed rule change affords additional
flexibility in that it will permit listing those additional expiration
months that have an actual demand from market participants, thereby
potentially reducing the proliferation of classes and series. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is proper, and indeed
necessary, in light of the need to have rules that permit the listing
of identical expiration months across exchanges for products that are
multiply-listed and fungible with one another.
    BOX believes that the proposed rule change should encourage
competition and be beneficial to traders and market participants by
providing them with a means to trade on BOX securities that are listed
and traded on other exchanges.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market
system, and in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
In particular, the proposed rule change will permit the Exchange to
accommodate requests made by BOX Option Participants and other market
participants to list the additional expiration months and thus
encourage competition without harming investors or the public interest.

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

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-
(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 should promote competition by allowing
the Exchange, without undue delay, to list and trade option series that
are trading on other options exchanges. Therefore, the Commission
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 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.

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
the following methods:

Amendment Class D and Class E Airspace; South Florida

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action changes the effective date of a final rule
published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2021, amending
airspace for several airports in the south Florida area. The FAA is
delaying the effective date to coincide with the completion of ongoing
airspace projects in the area.

DATES: The effective date of the final rule published on September 8,
2021 (86 FR 50245) is delayed until May 19, 2022. The Director of the
Federal Register approved this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11
and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket
No. FAA 2021-0169 (86 FR 50245, September 8, 2021), amending Class D
and Class E airspace for eight airports in the south Florida area. The
effective date for that final rule is January 27, 2022. Due to delays
in other rule making projects in the area, the FAA is delaying the
effective date to May 19, 2022. 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. FAA Order JO
7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published
yearly and effective on September 15.

Good Cause for No Notice and Comment

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of Title 5, United States Code, (the
Administrative Procedure Act) 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 seeking comment
prior to the rulemaking. The FAA finds that prior notice and public
comment to this final rule is unnecessary due to the brief length of
the extension of the effective date and the fact that there is no
substantive change to the rule.

Delay of Effective Date

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the
effective date of the final rule, Airspace Docket 21-ASO-3, as
published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2021 (86 FR 50245),
FR Doc. 2021-19268, is hereby delayed until May 19, 2022.

Background and Purpose

    On June 25, 2011, the Baltimore Dragon Boat Club will sponsor
Dragon Boat Races in the Patapsco River, Northwest Harbor, at
Baltimore, MD. The event will consist of approximately 15 teams rowing
Chinese Dragon Boats in heats of 2 or 3 boats for a distance of 500
meters. Due to the need for vessel control during the event, the Coast
Guard will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in the event area to
provide for the safety of participants, spectators and other transiting
vessels

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish temporary special local
regulations on specified waters of the Patapsco River, Northwest
Harbor, in Baltimore, MD. The regulations will be in effect from 6 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on June 25, 2011. In the case of inclement weather this
marine event may be postponed and rescheduled for 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
June 26, 2011. The regulated area includes all waters of the Patapsco
River, Northwest Harbor, in Baltimore, MD, within an area bounded by
the following lines of reference; bounded on the west by a line running
along longitude 076[deg]35[min]35[sec] W; bounded on the east by a line
running along longitude 076[deg]35[min]10[sec] W; bounded on the north
by a line running along latitude 39[deg]16[min]40[sec] N; and bounded
on the south by the shoreline between the east and west lines of
reference. The effect of this proposed rule will be to restrict general
navigation in the regulated area during the event. Except for persons
or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or
vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area. Vessel traffic will
be allowed to transit the regulated area at slow speed between heats,
when the Coast Guard Patrol Commander determines it is safe to do so.
These regulations are needed to control vessel traffic during the event
to enhance the safety of participants, spectators and transiting
vessels.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563 and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it
under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies
and procedures of DHS is unnecessary. Although this regulation will
prevent traffic from transiting a portion of the Patapsco River during
the event, the effect of this regulation will not be significant due to
the limited duration that the regulated

area will be in effect and the extensive advance notifications that
will be made to the maritime community via the Local Notice to Mariners
and marine information broadcasts, so mariners can adjust their plans
accordingly. Additionally, the regulated area has been narrowly
tailored to impose the least impact on general navigation yet provide
the level of safety deemed necessary. Vessel traffic will be able to
transit the regulated area at slow speed between heats, when the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do so.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This proposed rule would affect the following
entities, some of which might be small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor in the effected
portions of the Patapsco River during the event.
    Although this regulation prevents traffic from transiting a portion
of the Patapsco River, Northwest Harbor during the event, this proposed
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the following reasons. This proposed rule
would be in effect for only a limited period. Vessel traffic will be
able to transit the regulated area between heats, when the Coast Guard
Patrol Commander deems it is safe to do so. Before the enforcement
period, we will issue maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their
plans accordingly.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Coast Guard Sector Baltimore,
MD. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves implementation of regulations within 33 CFR Part 100
applicable to organized marine events on the navigable waters of the
United States that could negatively impact the safety of waterway users
and shore side activities in the event area, and is categorically
excluded from further analysis under paragraph 34(g) of the Commandant
Instruction. This category of water activities includes but is not
limited to sail boat regattas, boat parades, power boat racing,
swimming events, crew racing, canoe and sail board racing. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR part 100 as follows:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension: Rule 302 SEC File No. 270-453, OMB Control No. 3235-0510

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 302 (17 CFR
242.302) of Regulation ATS (17 CFR 242.300 et seq.) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Regulation ATS sets forth a regulatory regime for ``alternative
trading systems'' (``ATSs''), which are entities that carry out
exchange functions but which are not required to register as national
securities exchanges under the Act. In lieu of exchange registration,
an ATS can instead opt to register with the Commission as a broker-
dealer and, as a condition to not having to register as an exchange,
must instead comply with Regulation ATS. Rule 302 of Regulation ATS (17
CFR 242.302) describes the recordkeeping requirements for ATSs. Under
Rule 302, ATSs are required to make a record of subscribers to the ATS,
daily summaries of trading in the ATS, and time-sequenced records of
order information in the ATS.
    The information required to be collected under Rule 302 should
increase the abilities of the Commission, state securities regulatory
authorities, and the self-regulatory organizations to ensure that ATSs
are in compliance with Regulation ATS as well as other applicable rules
and regulations. If the information is not collected or collected less
frequently, the regulators would be limited in their ability to comply
with their statutory obligations, provide for the protection of
investors, and promote the maintenance of fair and orderly markets.
    Respondents consist of ATSs that choose to register as broker-
dealers and comply with the requirements of Regulation ATS. There are
currently 84 respondents. These respondents will spend approximately
3,780 hours per year (84 respondents at 45 burden hours/respondent) to
comply with the recordkeeping requirements of Rule 302. At an average
cost per burden hour of $65, the resultant total related internal cost
of compliance for these respondents is $245,700 per year (3,780 burden
hours multiplied by $65/hour).
    Written comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimates of
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Pamela Dyson, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi

 BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


DP Barcode: D312519 PC Code: 127201 Date: February 9, 2005 SUBJECT: TRED for Triadimenol ( PC # 127201) Drinking Water Assessment Environmental Fate and Effects Division FROM: James Breithaupt, Agronomist Environmental Risk Branch II Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( 7507C)

THROUGH: Tom Bailey, Ph. D. Chief, Environmental Risk Branch 2 Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( 7507C)

TO: Susan Lewis/ John Pates, PM 51 Registration Division ( 7508C)

Attached to this memo is the drinking water assessment for triadimenol. Triadimenol is used as a seed treatment on wheat, barley, oats, rye, corn, and cotton. This assessment contains residues of triadimenol, but not free 1,2,4 triazole. Based on personal communication with Richard Griffin of HED, the exposure and toxicity of free triazole is being assessed separately. Page 2 of 16 I. General Conclusions EFED has conducted a Tier II assessment of estimated surface water and Tier I ground water concentrations of triadimenol. EFED recommends that the estimated environmental concentrations ( EEC's) generated by the PRZM EXAMS model be used for drinking water from surface water sources. The concentrations reported are based on the maximum calculated application rate of triadimenol as a seed treatment for each crop. For drinking water derived from surface water, the acute concentrations to be used for drinking water 393 ng/ L ( parts per trillion, pptr) for wheat, barley, oats, and rye, 95 ng/ L for corn, and 133 ng/ L for cotton. The chronic, non cancer concentrations ( annual means) to be used for surface water derived drinking water are 194, 34, and 27 ng/ L, respectively. The chronic, cancer concentrations ( overall means) to be used for surfacewater derived drinking water are 128, 22, and 14 ng/ L, respectively.( Table 2). For drinking water derived from ground water, the SCI GROW2 model estimates concentrations of 63, 18, and 10 ng/ L, respectively ( Table 4). The SCI GROW2 value should be used for acute, chronic, and cancer risk assessment on each of their respective crops. The outputs from the PRZM EXAMS and SCIGROW2 models may be seen in Appendices A and B, respectively. No water monitoring data are available for this compound for comparison to modeling.

II. Use Summary Triadimenol is used as a seed treatment on wheat, barley, oats, rye, corn, and cotton. The maximum use rates, adjusted for planting rate, range from 0.006 0.0375 lb ai/ A ( 0.007 0.042 kg ai/ ha) for one season ( see Table 1 below). According to the QUA, the cotton use accounts for about 75 % of the total pounds of active ingredient applied annually. Corn and wheat account for about 20 % and 5 %, respectively. About 80 % of the acreage planted to cotton is treated with the fungicide, and less than 1 % of corn and wheat acres are treated. Page 3 of 16 Table 1.

Environmental Fate Summary Based on laboratory studies and the submitted field dissipation study, triadimenol is stable in sterile water and to photodegradation on soil, but may photodegrade in shallow, well mixed surface water that is not shaded or contains a significant sediment load. The primary route of triadimenol degradation appears to be microbial activity. Triadimenol degraded slowly in aerobic soil in the laboratory, with a calculated half life of 238 days; . Triadimenol does not degrade under anaerobic conditions and appears to mobile in soil ( Kd= 2.4 5.3). Since triadimenol is used as a seed treatment, Page 4 of 16 it is applied below the soil surface. As a result, runoff to surface water may be reduced but potential for groundwater contamination may be increased.

IV. Water Resources Summary A. Surface Water Parent triadimenol may move from the treated field to surface water through run off after application. Tier II drinking water concentrations from surface water sources ( Table 2) for triadimenol were estimated using the EFED Shell that incorporates PRZM EXAMS and the Index Reservoir. Input values for the PRZM EXAMS model are reported in Table 3.

B. Ground Water Triadimenol is used as a seed treatment, and is mobile and persistent in the environment. Therefore, parent compound may reach ground water in some environments. In the event that triadimenol did reach ground water, the available routes of dissipation would be dilution because it appears to be stable under anaerobic conditions. Table 4 below summarizes the results of the screening level groundwater model, SCI GROW2, for total toxic triadimenol.

    On June 14, 2022, the Oaks Park Association notified the Coast
Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from 7 to 7:30
p.m. on October 31, 2022. The fireworks are to be launched from a barge
in the Willamette River offshore of Oaks Park, Portland, Oregon.
Hazards from firework displays include accidental discharge of
fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other
debris. The Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be
used in this display would be a safety concern for anyone within a
1,000 ft. radius of the barge.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the

navigable waters within a 1,000 ft. radius of the fireworks barge
before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard is
proposing this rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to establish a safety zone from 6:30 to 8
p.m. on October 31, 2022. The safety zone would cover navigable waters
within 1,000 ft radius of a barge in the Willamette River located
offshore of Oaks Park, Portland, OR. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled 7 to 7:30 p.m. fireworks
display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end
of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. The safety zone created by
this proposed rule is designed to minimize its impact on navigable
waters. This proposed rule will prohibit entry into certain navigable
waters of the Willamette River and is not anticipated to exceed two
hours in duration. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within that
particular area are expected to be minimal. Moreover, under certain
conditions, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the COTP. The Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone and the rule
allows vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

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

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

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

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves a safety
zone lasting 1.5 hours that would prohibit entry within 1,000 feet of a
fireworks barge. Normally, such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. We seek any comments or information
that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact
from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

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