SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because immediate action is necessary to
ensure the safety of participants and spectators in the Naval Air
Station Corpus Christi Air Show.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Due to the need for immediate
action and the fact the no commercial entities and very few
recreational fisherman utilize this section of Oso Bay, the restriction
of vessel traffic and spectator craft is necessary to protect life,
property and the environment; therefore, a 30-day notice is
impracticable. Delaying the effective date would be contrary to the
safety zone's intended objectives of protecting participants and
spectators in the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi Air Show.

Basis and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is establishing this temporary safety zone to help
ensure the

safety of the maritime public during the Naval Air Station Corpus
Christi Air Show taking place on Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in
Corpus Christi, Texas. The safety zone is necessary because of the
numerous potential hazards associated with air show events.

Discussion of Rule

    The temporary safety zone created by this rule encompasses all
waters within the points, Ocean Drive Bridge over Oso Bay, (27N
42'36.2'', -97W 18'31.4'') running south to the point (27N 41'50.4'', -
97W 18'52.4''), running southeast to the Turtle Cove Park (27N
41'3.3'', -97W 17'55.6'') and running north along the shoreline of the
Naval Air Station back to the Ocean Drive bridge across Oso Bay.
    The zone resembles a triangle running from the Ocean Drive Bridge
over Oso Bay south to the point in the middle of the Bay, then east
towards Turtle Cove Park and then running along the shoreline of the
Naval Air Station back to the bridge across Oso Bay.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this 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.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, 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.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the affected waterway during the time of enforcement. The safety zone
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities for the following reasons: It is minimal in size,
shallow in water-depth, short in duration, there are no known
commercial fishermen that utilize this affected area and infrequent
recreational fishermen utilize this area.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls 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 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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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 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 rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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 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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g.), of the Instruction. This rule involves establishing a
temporary safety zone on Oso Bay in Corpus Christi, Texas.
    An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

[Docket No. OSHA-2006-0028]

MET Laboratories, Inc.; Expansion of Recognition

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's final decision expanding the recognition of MET
Laboratories, Inc., (MET) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
under 29 CFR 1910.7.

DATES: The expansion of recognition becomes effective on January 4,
2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: MaryAnn Garrahan, Director, Office of
Technical Programs and Coordination Activities, NRTL Program,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-3655, Washington, DC 20210,
or phone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby
gives notice of the expansion of recognition of MET Laboratories, Inc.,
(MET) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). MET's
expansion covers the use of additional test standards. OSHA's current
scope of recognition for MET may be found in the following
informational Web page: http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/met.html.

    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization has met
the legal requirements in Sec.  1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal
Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the
organization

can perform independent safety testing and certification of the
specific products covered within its scope of recognition and is not a
delegation or grant of government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use products properly approved by the NRTL
to meet OSHA standards that require testing and certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition or for expansion or renewal of this recognition following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding and, in the second
notice, the Agency provides its final decision on the application.
These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. We maintain an informational Web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages can be
accessed from our Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html
.

    MET submitted an application, dated April 25, 2006 (see Exhibit 41-
1, as cited in the preliminary notice), to expand its recognition to
include 22 additional test standards. One standard, however, is already
included in MET's scope. The NRTL Program staff determined that the
remaining 21 standards are ``appropriate test standards'' within the
meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c). In connection with this request, OSHA did
not perform an on-site review of MET's NRTL testing facilities.
However, NRTL Program assessment staff reviewed information pertinent
to the request and recommended that MET's recognition be expanded to
include the additional test standards listed below (see Exhibit 41-2,
as cited in the preliminary notice). Therefore, OSHA is approving these
21 test standards for the expansion.
    The preliminary notice announcing the expansion application was
published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2007 (72 FR 37056).
Comments were requested by July 23, 2007, but no comments were received
in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this final
notice to grant MET's expansion application.
    The most recent application processed by OSHA specifically related
to MET's recognition granted an expansion, and the final notice for
this expansion was published on February 27, 2007 (72 FR 8797).
    You may obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining
to the MET application by contacting the Docket Office, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-2625, Washington, DC 20210. Docket No.
OSHA-2006-0028 (formerly NRTL1-88) contains all materials in the record
concerning MET's recognition.
    The current address of the MET facility (site) already recognized
by OSHA is: MET Laboratories, Inc., 914 West Patapsco Avenue,
Baltimore, MD 21230.

Final Decision and Order

    NRTL Program staff has examined the application, the assessor's
recommendation, and other pertinent information. Based upon this
examination and the assessor's recommendation, OSHA finds that MET has
met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition,
subject to the limitation and conditions listed below. Pursuant to the
authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the recognition of MET,
subject to this limitation and these conditions.

Limitation

    OSHA limits the expansion of MET's recognition to testing and
certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the
following test standards, each of which OSHA has determined is an
appropriate test standard, within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c):

ANSI A17.5 Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment
UL 250 Household Refrigerators and Freezers
UL 399 Drinking Water Coolers
UL 430 Waste Disposers
UL 474 Dehumidifiers
UL 498A Current Taps and Adapters
UL 563 Ice Makers
UL 749 Household Dishwashers
UL 826 Household Electric Clocks
UL 858 Household Electric Ranges
UL 998 Humidifiers
UL 1005 Electric Flatirons
UL 1082 Household Electric Coffee Makers and Brewing-Type Appliances
UL 1086 Household Trash Compactors
UL 1261 Electric Water Heaters for Pools and Tubs
UL 1640 Portable Power-Distribution Equipment
UL 1741 Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System
Equipment for Use With Distributed Energy Resources
UL 1994 Luminous Egress Path Marking Systems
UL 2157 Electric Clothes Washing Machines and Extractors
UL 2158 Electric Clothes Dryers
UL 60335-2-8 Household and Similar Electrical Appliances, Part 2:
Particular Requirements for Shavers, Hair Clippers, and Similar
Appliances
    The designations and titles of the above test standards were
current at the time of the preparation of the preliminary notice.
    OSHA's recognition of MET, or any NRTL, for a particular test
standard is limited to equipment or materials (i.e., products) for
which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification
before use in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also
covers any product(s) for which OSHA does not require such testing and
certification, an NRTL's scope of recognition does not include that
product(s).
    A test standard listed above may be approved as American National
Standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). However,
for convenience, we use the designation of the standards developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under
our procedures, any NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved test standard
may use either the latest proprietary version of the test standard or
the latest ANSI version of that standard. You may contact ANSI to find
out whether or not a test standard is currently ANSI-approved.

Conditions

    MET must also abide by the following conditions of the recognition,
in addition to those already required by 29 CFR 1910.7:
    OSHA must be allowed access to MET's facilities and records for
purposes of ascertaining continuing compliance with the terms of its
recognition and to investigate as OSHA deems necessary;
    If MET has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it is
using under this program, it must promptly inform the test standard
developing organization of this fact and provide that organization with
appropriate relevant information upon which its concerns are based;
    MET must not engage in or permit others to engage in any
misrepresentation of the scope or conditions of its recognition. As
part of this condition, MET agrees that it will allow no representation
that it is either a recognized or an accredited Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory (NRTL) without clearly indicating the specific
equipment or material to which this recognition is tied, or that its
recognition is limited to certain products;

    MET must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change
of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major changes in
its operations as an NRTL, including details;
    MET will meet all the terms of its recognition and will always
comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    MET will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in all
areas where it has been recognized.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of December, 2007.

from conditions of entry on vessels arriving in the U.S. from certain
ports in Cambodia and will impose conditions of entry on all vessels
arriving from Cambodian ports. This notice promotes the Coast Guard's
maritime security mission.

DATES: The policy announced in this notice will become effective
September 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The authority for this notice is 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 46 U.S.C. 70110,
and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1(II)(97)(f).
As delegated, section 70110 authorizes the Coast Guard to impose
conditions of entry on vessels arriving in U.S. waters from ports that
the Coast Guard has not found to maintain effective anti-terrorism
measures.
    In October 2008, we found that ports in Cambodia, with certain
exceptions, did not maintain effective anti-terrorism measures.
Accordingly, the Coast Guard imposed conditions of entry on certain
vessels arriving to the United States from Cambodian ports (73 FR
63499, Oct. 24, 2008). The notice exempted two ports from conditions of
entry: Phnom Penh Autonomous Port and Sihanoukville Autonomous Port. We
no longer find that those two ports are maintaining effective anti-
terrorism measures, and we remove their exemption.
    Accordingly, beginning September 29, 2014, the conditions of entry
shown in Table 1 will apply to any vessel that visited any Cambodian
port in its last five port calls.

    Table 1--Conditions of Entry for Vessels Visiting Cambodian Ports
------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Number                         Each vessel must:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1......................  Implement measures per the vessel's security
                          plan equivalent to Security Level 2 while in a
                          port in Cambodia. As defined in the ISPS Code
                          and incorporated herein, ``Security Level 2''
                          refers to the ``level for which appropriate
                          additional protective security measures shall
                          be maintained for a period of time as a result
                          of heightened risk of a security incident.''
2......................  Ensure that each access point to the vessel is
                          guarded and that the guards have total
                          visibility of the exterior (both landside and
                          waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is
                          in ports in Cambodia.

3......................  Guards may be provided by the vessel's crew;
                          however, additional crewmembers should be
                          placed on the vessel if necessary to ensure
                          that limits on maximum hours of work are not
                          exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest are met,
                          or provided by outside security forces
                          approved by the vessel's master and Company
                          Security Officer. As defined in the ISPS Code
                          and incorporated herein, ``Company Security
                          Officer'' refers to the ``person designated by
                          the Company for ensuring that a ship security
                          assessment is carried out; that a ship
                          security plan is developed, submitted for
                          approval, and thereafter implemented and
                          maintained and for liaison with port facility
                          security officers and the ship security
                          officer.''
4......................  Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security
                          while in a port in Cambodia;
5......................  Log all security actions in the vessel's
                          security records; and
6......................  Report actions taken to the cognizant Coast
                          Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) prior to
                          arrival into U.S. waters.
7......................  In addition, based on the findings of the Coast
                          Guard boarding or examination, the vessel may
                          be required to ensure that each access point
                          to the vessel is guarded by armed, private
                          security guards and that they have total
                          visibility of the exterior (both landside and
                          waterside) of the vessel while in U.S. ports.
                          The number and position of the guards has to
                          be acceptable to the cognizant COTP prior to
                          the vessel's arrival.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70725; File No. SR-CME-2013-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Regarding Adoption of CME Rule 1001

October 21, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'' or ``Exchange Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice
is hereby given that on October 17, 2013, Chicago Mercantile Exchange
Inc. (``CME'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by CME. CME filed the proposal
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii)
thereunder,\4\ so that the proposal was effective upon filing with the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    CME is filing proposed rules changes that are limited to its
business as a derivatives clearing organization. The new CME rule
simply specifies that CME will discharge any swap data reporting
obligations it has with respect to the swaps it clears under applicable
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'') by making reports to
the CME SDR.

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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose 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 self-regulatory organization 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

    CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization (``DCO'')
with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and currently offers
clearing services for swaps products. In connection with its business
as a DCO clearing swaps, CME is required to make certain reports
regarding the swaps it clears to a swap data repository (``SDR'')
registered with the CFTC in accordance with applicable CFTC
regulations.
    The rule that is the subject of this filing, CME Rule 1001,
specifies that CME DCO will discharge any applicable swap reporting
requirements that it has in its capacity as a DCO clearing swaps by
making reports to the CME SDR. CME Rule 1001 was reviewed and
affirmatively approved by the CFTC.
    The scope of CME Rule 1001 is limited to CME's business as a
derivatives clearing organization clearing products under the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'').
CME Rule 1001 does not materially impact CME's security-based swap
clearing business in any way. As such, the changes will be effective
upon filing.
    CME believes the rule that is the subject of this filing is
consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act including Section
17A of the Exchange Act.\5\ The rule simply clarifies how CME will make
required swap data reports regarding the swaps its clears in an
operationally efficient manner and in accordance with applicable CFTC
requirements, and as such it is designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to
the extent applicable, derivatives agreements, contracts, and
transactions, to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which
are in the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Exchange Act.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the rule is limited in its effect to swaps offered
under CME's authority to act as a derivatives clearing organization.
Swaps fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC. As such, the
proposed CME changes are limited to CME's activities as a derivatives
clearing organization clearing swaps that are not security-based swaps;
CME notes that the policies of the CFTC with respect to administering
the Commodity Exchange Act are comparable to a number of the policies
underlying the Exchange Act, such as promoting market transparency for
over-the-counter derivatives markets, promoting the prompt and accurate
clearance of transactions and protecting investors and the public
interest.
    Because the changes are limited in their effect to swaps offered
under CME's authority to act as a derivatives clearing organization,
the changes are properly classified as effecting a change in an
existing service of CME that:
    (a) Primarily affects the clearing operations of CME with respect
to products that are not securities, including futures that are not
security futures, and swaps that are not security-based swaps or mixed
swaps; and
    (b) does not significantly affect any securities clearing
operations of CME or any rights or obligations of CME with respect to
securities clearing or persons using such securities-clearing service.

As such, the changes are therefore consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A of the Exchange Act \7\ and are properly filed under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \9\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(4)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. As a general matter, CME
Rule 1001 should not be seen to have any effect on competition because
it does not act as a restraint.

    CME Rule 1001 simply codifies how CME's clearinghouse will
discharge its own CFTC-required swap data reporting obligations for
swaps cleared by CME in an operationally efficient manner. The Rule
states that CME will discharge any DCO reporting obligations it has by
making required swap data reports regarding CME-cleared swaps to its
affiliated SDR. In addition, it should be noted that the Rule
separately provides that CME will also make voluntary, supplemental
reports regarding the same cleared swap data it reports to the CME SDR
to any third party swap data repositories selected by any counterparty
to a swap cleared at CME. The reporting arrangements contemplated by
Rule 1001 regarding swaps under the exclusive jurisdiction of the CFTC
were reviewed and approved by the CFTC.

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

    CME separately submitted Rule 1001 to the CFTC for affirmative
approval pursuant to Regulation 40.5 of CFTC Regulations. This process
involved a public comment period. A series of comment letters from
various market participants were submitted. These letters made a
variety of arguments alleging that CME Rule 1001 was inconsistent with
the Commodity Exchange Act. CME submitted multiple response letters
addressing these arguments. After a lengthy review process, the CFTC
concluded that ``CME Rule is not inconsistent with either the
[Commodity Exchange] Act or the regulatory structure implemented by the
Commission to effectuate the Act.'' All of the industry comment
letters, CME's response letters, the CFTC's approval order and separate
CFTC Commissioners statements regarding Rule 1001 can be found at the
following public Web site: http://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/pr6525-13.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \11\
thereunder. 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

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 15Ba2-1 and Form MSD; SEC File No. 270-0088, OMB Control
No. 3235-0083.

    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 15Ba2-1 (17 CFR
240.15Ba2-1) and Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100), under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act''). The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Rule 15Ba2-1 provides that an application for registration with the
Commission by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form
MSD. The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD filings
to determine whether bank municipal securities dealers meet the
standards for registration set forth in the Act, to maintain a central
registry where members of the public may obtain information about
particular bank municipal securities dealers, and to develop risk
assessment information about bank municipal securities dealers.
    Based upon past submissions, the staff estimates that approximately
21 respondents will utilize this application procedure annually. The
staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to comply
with the requirements of Rule 15Ba2-1 and Form MSD is 1.5 hours per
respondent, for a total burden of approximately 31.5 hours per year.
The staff estimates that the average internal compliance cost per hour
is approximately $343. Therefore, the estimated total annual cost of
compliance for the respondents is approximately $10,805.
    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
estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
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 under the PRA 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
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549, or send an email
to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
    Dated: July 6, 2016.

(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
requirements relating to FDA regulations for human tissue intended for
transplantation.

DATES:  Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by April 30, 2010.

ADDRESSES:  Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Berbakos, Office of
Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr.,
PI50-400B, Rockville, MD 20850,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Human Tissue Intended for Transplantation--21 CFR Part 1270 (OMB
Control Number 0910-0302)--Extension

    Under section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
264), FDA issued regulations under part 1270 (21 CFR part 1270) to
prevent the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
hepatitis B, and hepatitis C through the use of human tissue for
transplantation. The regulations provide for inspection by FDA of
persons and tissue establishments engaged in the recovery, screening,
testing, processing, storage, or distribution of human tissue. These
facilities are required to meet provisions intended to ensure
appropriate screening and testing of human tissue donors and to ensure
that records are kept documenting that the appropriate screening and
testing have been completed.
    Section 1270.31(a) through (d) requires written procedures to be
prepared and followed for the following steps: (1) All significant
steps in the infectious disease testing process under Sec.  1270.21;
(2) all significant steps for obtaining, reviewing, and assessing the
relevant medical records of the donor as prescribed in Sec.  1270.21;
(3) designating and identifying quarantined tissue; and (4) for
prevention of infectious disease contamination or cross-contamination
by tissue during processing. Section 1270.31(a) and (b) also requires
recording and justification of any deviation from the written
procedures. Section 1270.33(a) requires records to be maintained
concurrently with the performance of each significant step in the
performance of infectious disease screening and testing of human tissue

donors. Section 1270.33(f) requires records to be retained regarding
the determination of the suitability of the donors and such records
required under Sec.  1270.21. Section 1270.33(h) requires all records
to be retained at least 10 years beyond the date of transplantation if
known, distribution, disposition, or expiration of the tissue,
whichever is the latest. Section 1270.35(a) through (d) requires
specific records to be maintained to document the following: (1) The
results and interpretation of all required infectious disease tests,
(2) information on the identity and relevant medical records of the
donor, (3) the receipt and/or distribution of human tissue, and (4) the
destruction or other disposition of human tissue.
    Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers of
human tissue intended for transplantation. Based on information from
the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research's (CBER's) database
system, FDA estimates that there are approximately 257 tissue
establishments of which 145 are conventional tissue banks and 112 are
eye tissue banks. Based on information provided by industry, there are
an estimated total of 1,959,270 conventional tissue products and 82,741
eye tissue products recovered per year with an average of 25 percent of
the tissue discarded due to unsuitability for transplant. In addition,
there are an estimated 57,275 donors of conventional tissue and 54,115
donors of eye tissue each year.
    Accredited members of the American Association of Tissue Banks
(AATB) and Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) adhere to standards
of those organizations that are comparable to the recordkeeping
requirements in part 1270. Based on information provided by CBER's
database system, 90 percent of the conventional tissue banks are
members of AATB (145 x 90% = 130), and 77 percent of eye tissue banks
are members of EBAA (112 x 77% = 86). Therefore, recordkeeping by these
216 establishments (130 + 86 = 216) is excluded from the burden
estimates as usual and customary business activities (5 CFR
1320.3(b)(2)). The recordkeeping burden, thus, is estimated for the
remaining 41 establishments, which is 16 percent of all establishments
(257 - 216 = 41, or 41/257 = 16%).
    FDA assumes that all current tissue establishments have developed
written procedures in compliance with part 1270. Therefore, their
information collection burden is for the general review and update of
written procedures estimated to take an annual average of 24 hours, and
for the recording and justifying of any deviations from the written
procedures for Sec.  1270.31(a) and (b), estimated to take an annual
average of 1 hour. The information collection burden for maintaining
records concurrently with the performance of each significant screening
and testing step and for retaining records for 10 years under Sec.
1270.33(a), (f), and (h), include documenting the results and
interpretation of all required infectious disease tests and results and
the identity and relevant medical records of the donor required under
Sec.  1270.35(a) and (b). Therefore, the burden under these provisions
is calculated together in table 1 of this document. The recordkeeping
estimates for the number of total annual records and hours per record
are based on information provided by industry and FDA experience.
    FDA estimates the burden of this information collection as follows:
