44 CFR Part 65

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed below. These modified BFEs will be
used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.

DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are indicated on the
following table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect for the listed communities prior to this date.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Engineering
Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below of the modified BFEs
for each community listed. These modified BFEs have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since
that publication. The Mitigation Division Director of FEMA resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this final rule includes the address of the Chief Executive
Officer of the community where the modified BFEs determinations are
available for inspection.
    The modified BFEs are made pursuant to section 206 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required to either adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management
criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
    These modified BFEs are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these
elevations are made final, and for the contents in these buildings. The
changes in BFEs are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This final rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been
prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This final rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-78344; File No. SR-ISE-2016-17]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Extend the Price Improvement Mechanism Pilot Program

July 15, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on July 14, 2016, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') 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 self-
regulatory organization. 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 Exchange proposes to extend two pilot programs related to its
Price Improvement Mechanism (``PIM''). The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site www.ise.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 self-regulatory organization
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 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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange currently has two pilot programs related to its PIM
(collectively, the ``PIM Pilot Programs'' or ``Pilot Programs''). The
current Pilot Period provided in paragraphs .03 and .05 of the
Supplementary Material to Rule 723 is set to expire on July 18,
2016.\3\ Paragraph .03 provides that there is no minimum size
requirement for orders to be eligible for the Price Improvement
Mechanism. Paragraph .05 concerns the termination of the exposure
period by unrelated orders. The Exchange has continually submitted
certain data in support of extending the current Pilot Programs. The
Exchange proposes to extend these Pilot Programs in their present form,
through January 18, 2017, to give the Exchange and the Commission
additional time to evaluate the effects of these Pilot Programs before
the Exchange requests permanent approval of the rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75482 (July 17,
2015), 80 FR 43807 (July 23, 2015) (SR-ISE-2015-23).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\
Specifically, the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ because it is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the Pilot Programs are consistent with the
Act because they provide opportunity for price improvement for all
orders executed in the Exchange's Price Improvement Mechanism. The
proposed extension would allow the Pilot Programs to continue
uninterrupted, thereby avoiding any potential investor confusion that
could result from a temporary interruption to the pilot. Further, the
Exchange believes that the data demonstrates that there is sufficient
investor interest and demand to extend the Pilot Programs for an
additional six months. The Exchange further believes it is appropriate
to extend the Pilot Programs to provide the Exchange and Commission
more data upon which to evaluate the rules. With this data, the
Commission can evaluate whether the new data shows there is meaningful
competition for all size orders within the PIM, whether there is
significant price improvement for all orders executed through the PIM,
and whether there is an active and liquid market functioning on the
Exchange outside of the PIM.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that, by extending the expiration of the Pilot Programs, the
proposed rule change will allow for further analysis of the PIM. In
doing so, the proposed rule change will also serve to promote
regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby reducing burdens on the
marketplace and facilitating investor protection.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
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 and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \7\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \8\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay
period because the Pilot Programs are set to expire on July 18, 2016.
The Exchange noted that such waiver will allow the Pilot Programs to
continue uninterrupted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, as
it will allow the Pilot Programs to continue uninterrupted, thereby
avoiding any potential investor confusion that could result from a
temporary interruption in the Pilot Programs. For this reason, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change to be operative on July
18, 2016.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

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:

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2018-D-1328]

Severely Debilitating or Life-Threatening Hematologic Disorders:
Nonclinical Development of Pharmaceuticals; Draft Guidance for
Industry; Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Severely
Debilitating or Life-Threatening Hematologic Disorders: Nonclinical
Development of Pharmaceuticals.'' The purpose of this guidance is to
provide information to assist sponsors in the design of an appropriate
program of nonclinical studies for the development of pharmaceuticals
used to treat patients with severely debilitating or life-threatening
hematologic disorders (SDLTHDs). While FDA has guidance for oncology
indications (most of which are considered severely debilitating or
life-threatening diseases) and for rare diseases (which include some
SDLTHD conditions), FDA has no guidance to facilitate nonclinical
development specifically for pharmaceuticals used to treat nononcology
patients with SDLTHDs. A streamlined approach to drug development is
necessary to allow patients with SDLTHDs earlier and continued access
to new and potentially effective therapies.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by June 25, 2018 to ensure that the Agency considers your
comment on this draft guidance before it begins work on the final
version of the guidance.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on any guidance at any time as
follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Severely Debilitating or Life-Threatening Hematologic
Disorders: Nonclinical Development of Pharmaceuticals.'' The purpose of
this guidance is to provide information to assist sponsors in the
design of an appropriate program of nonclinical studies for the
development of pharmaceuticals used to treat patients with SDLTHDs.
While FDA has guidance for oncology indications (most of which are
considered severely debilitating or life-threatening diseases) and for
rare diseases (which include some SDLTHD conditions), FDA has no
guidance to facilitate nonclinical development specifically for
pharmaceuticals used to treat nononcology patients with SDLTHDs.
    The SDLTHDs include conditions in which life expectancy is short or
quality of life is greatly diminished despite available therapies. FDA
has defined life-threatening and severely debilitating diseases in
regulations (21 CFR 312.81). A streamlined approach to drug development
is necessary to allow patients with SDLTHDs earlier and continued
access to new and potentially effective therapies. This guidance, when
finalized, is expected to reduce the use of animals in accordance with
the 3R (refine/reduce/replace) principles and allow faster and
continuous access to pharmaceuticals for SDLTHDs.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on nonclinical
development of pharmaceuticals for severely debilitating or life-
threatening hematologic disorders. It does not establish any rights for
any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive
Order 12866.

II. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or
https://www.regulations.gov.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

meal from a variety of bioengineered safflower in cattle and poultry
feeds.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the petitioner's
environmental assessment by November 19, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to: http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Isabel W. Pocurull, Center for
Veterinary Medicine, Food and Drug Administration, 7519 Standish Pl.,
Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (section 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), notice is given that a
food additive petition (FAP 2267) has been filed by Arcadia
Biosciences, Inc., 202 Cousteau Pl., suite 105, Davis, CA 95618. The
petition proposes to amend the food additive regulations in part 573
Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals (21 CFR
part 573) to provide for the safe use of seed meal from a variety of
bioengineered safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in cattle and poultry
feeds. The safflower variety has been bioengineered to contain a gene
from the water mold Saprolegnia diclina responsible for production of
[gamma]-linolenic acid in the seed oil. Seed meals are the ground
residues obtained after processing seeds to extract their oil and are a
common ingredient in livestock feed.
    The potential environmental impact of this action is being
reviewed. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations
issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.4(b)),
the agency is placing the environmental assessment submitted with the
petition that is the subject of this notice on public display at the
Division of Dockets Management (see DATES and ADDRESSES) for public
review and comment.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no
longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. FDA will
also place on public display any amendments to, or comments on, the
petitioner's environmental assessment without further announcement in
the Federal Register. If, based on its review, the agency finds that an
environmental impact statement is not required and this petition
results in a regulation, the notice of availability of the agency's
finding of no significant impact and the evidence supporting that
finding will be published with the regulation in the Federal Register
in accordance with 21 CFR 25.51(b).
