SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-510, Application for Surrender of a Hydropower License.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0068.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-510 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
    Abstract: The information collected under the requirements of FERC-
510 is used by the Commission to implement the statutory provisions of
sections 4(e), 6, and 13 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C.
797(e), 799 and 806). Section 4(e) gives the Commission authority to
issue licenses for the purposes of constructing, operating and
maintaining dams, water conduits, reservoirs, powerhouses, transmission
lines or other power project works necessary or convenient for
developing and improving navigation, transmission and utilization of
power using bodies of water over which Congress has jurisdiction.
Section 6 gives the Commission the authority to prescribe the
conditions of licenses including the revocation or surrender of the
license. Section 13 defines the Commission's authority to delegate time
periods for when a license must be terminated if project construction
has not begun. Surrender of a license may be desired by a licensee when
a licensed project is retired or not constructed or natural
catastrophes have damaged or destroyed the project facilities.
    FERC-510 is the application for the surrender of a hydropower
license. The information is used by Commission staff to determine the
broad impact of such surrender. The Commission will issue a notice
soliciting comments from the public and other agencies and conduct a
careful review of the application before issuing an order for Surrender
of a License. The order is the result of an analysis of the information
produced (i.e., dam safety, public safety, and environmental concerns,
etc.), which is examined to determine whether any conditions must be
satisfied before granting the surrender. The order implements the
existing regulations and is inclusive for surrender of all types of
hydropower licenses issued by FERC and its predecessor, the Federal
Power Commission. The Commission implements these mandatory filing
requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR 6.1-
6.4.
    On April 20, 2020, the Commission published a Notice in the Federal
Register in Docket No. IC20-15-000 requesting public comments.\1\ The
Commission received no public comments.

    Type of Respondent: Private or Municipal Hydropower Licensees.
    Estimate of Annual Burden \2\: The Commission estimates the total
annual burden and cost \3\ for this information collection as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``Burden'' is the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information collection
burden, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
    \3\ The Commission staff thinks that the average respondent for
this collection is similarly situated to the Commission, in terms of
salary plus benefits. The FERC 2019 average salary plus benefits for
one FERC full-time equivalent (FTE) is $167,091/year (or $80.00/
hour).

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Due to an improved staff estimate, the annual number of
respondents has been increased to 15 (rather than the estimated 8
included in the 60-day notice, issued April 14, 2020).

Hazardous Chemical Reporting: Community Right-to-Know; Revisions
to Hazard Categories and Minor Corrections; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment, correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) issued
a final rule in the Federal Register on June 13, 2016 (81 FR 38104)
amending its hazardous chemical reporting regulations. That document
inadvertently omitted the hazard ``serious eye damage or eye
irritation'' in Sec.  370.66 under the definition of ``health hazard''.
This action corrects that definition.

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective July 21, 2016.
    Compliance Date: The compliance date is January 1, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2010-0763. All documents in the docket are
listed on the http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available,

e.g., CBI or other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, is not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal
Register of June 13, 2016 (81 FR 38104) amending its hazardous chemical
regulations due to the changes in the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). The final
rule inadvertently omitted the hazard ``serious eye damage or eye
irritation'' in Sec.  370.66 under the definition of ``health hazard''.
This action is being issued to correct the omitted hazard in 40 CFR
370.66, which contains the definitions of the key words used in 40 CFR
part 370. Specifically, under the definition of ``hazard category,''
EPA inadvertently omitted the hazard, ``serious eye damage or eye
irritation'' under the definition of ``health hazard.'' This document
corrects this error by adding the hazard, ``serious eye damage or eye
irritation'' in 40 CFR 370.66 under the definition of ``health
hazard.''

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52837; File No. SR-Amex-2005-056]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC; Order
Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto
Relating to the Requirement That Registered Options Traders May Only
Sign on to Auto-Ex for ETFs Traded by the Same or Adjoining Specialists
and Shall Sign on to Auto-Ex for a Maximum of Fifteen ETFs

November 25, 2005.
    On May 23, 2005, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to provide that Registered Options Traders
(``ROTs'') may only sign on to Auto-Ex \3\ for a maximum of fifteen
Portfolio Depository Receipts, Index Fund Shares, and Trust Issued
Receipts (collectively, ``Exchange-Traded Funds'' or ``ETFs'') and only
if such ETFs are traded by the same or adjoining specialists for a
maximum of three contiguous panels (i.e., electronic order book work
stations).\4\ On September 13, 2005, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1
to the proposed rule change.\5\ The proposed rule change and Amendment
No. 1 were published for comment in the Federal Register on September
30, 2005.\6\ The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This
order approves the proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Auto-Ex is the Exchange's automated execution system.
    \4\ The Exchange stated that each panel has one specialist
assigned to it and that numerous ETFs may be traded on each panel.
    \5\ See Form 19b-4 dated September 13, 2005, which replaced the
original filing in its entirety (``Amendment No. 1'').
    \6\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52505 (September 23,
2005), 70 FR 57226.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Amex Rule 958(c) and Amex Rule 958(c)-ANTE currently require ROTs
to make competitive bids and offers necessary to contribute to the
maintenance of a fair and orderly market and to engage, to a reasonable
degree, in dealings for their own accounts when there exists a lack of
price continuity and a temporary disparity between the supply and
demand of ETFs. As part of their market making activities in ETFs, ROTs
may sign on to Auto-Ex.
    The proposed rule change would amend Amex Rule 958, Commentary .10,
and Amex Rule 958-ANTE, Commentary .09, to state that, if an ROT logs
on to Auto-Ex for ETFs, the ROT would only be permitted to log on to
Auto-Ex for ETFs traded on the same or contiguous panels, i.e., ETFs
traded by the same or adjoining specialists, for a maximum of three
contiguous panels. The proposal also would limit an ROT to trading in a
maximum of fifteen ETFs while signed on to Auto-Ex.\7\ A Senior Floor
Official would be permitted to modify these restrictions if he or she
determines that an ROT is able to appropriately fulfill his obligations
to the market due to the level of activity in the ETFs and their
proximity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Although ETFs are traded on NETS (New Equity Trading System)
and not ANTE (Amex New Trading Environment), Amex Rule 958-ANTE
applies to ETFs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange \8\ and, in
particular, the requirements of section 6(b) of the Act \9\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder. Specifically, the Commission finds
that the proposal is consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in
that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In exchange for receiving certain benefits for carrying out their
duties as market makers, ROTs have affirmative obligations, one of
which is incorporated in current Amex Rule 958(c) and Amex Rule 958(c)-
ANTE, which require ROTs to make competitive bids and offers as
reasonably necessary to contribute to the maintenance of a fair and
orderly market. The Exchange believes that, in order to make
competitive bids and offers in an ETF, ROTs must be present in the
crowd near the specialist panels for such ETF. ROTs logged on to Auto-
Ex are entitled to receive executions at the specialist's quote but are
not currently required to be present in the crowd. If an ROT is logged
onto Auto-Ex panels throughout the trading floor, the ROT is less
likely to be physically present in the trading crowd for a particular
ETF, thus making it less likely that the ROT is able to make
competitive bids and offers in such ETF because, in order to make
competitive bids and offers, a ROT must be physically present in the
trading crowd near the specialist panel for that ETF. The proposed rule
change, by limiting the ROTs ability to log on to Auto-Ex to a maximum
of three contiguous Auto-Ex panels, would confine the ROT to one area
of the floor, thus encouraging the ROT to remain in the trading crowd
for a particular ETF that such ROT is entitled to receive automatic
executions at the specialist's quote. In this regard, the Commission
believes that the proposed rule change should help ensure that ROTs
fulfill their market maker obligations to make competitive bids and
offers.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\11\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Amex-2005-056), as amended,
is approved.

    m. The application is not ready for environmental analysis at this
time.
    n. Project Description: The existing project consists of: (1) an
earthen and concrete dam that includes: (a) a 400-foot-long, 37-foot-
high north earthen embankment; (b) a concrete section that includes:
(i) a north abutment; (ii) a 20-foot-long, 36.5-foot-high intake
structure equipped with a trashrack; (iii) a 35-foot-high gated
spillway with two 25-foot-long bays that each contain a Tainter gate;
and (iv) a south abutment; (c) a 300-foot-long, 37-foot-high south
earthen embankment; (2) an impoundment with a surface area of 39.9
acres at an elevation of 711.6 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of
1929 (NGVD 29); (3) a 7-foot-diameter, 1,345-foot-long concrete pipe
that conveys flows from the intake structure to a 16-foot-diameter, 62-
foot-high steel surge tank; (4) two 30-foot-long steel penstocks; (5) a
69-foot-long, 39-foot-wide concrete and brick masonry powerhouse that
contains one 700-kilowatt (kW) horizontal Francis turbine-generator
unit and one 500-kW horizontal Francis turbine-generator unit, for a
total installed capacity of 1,200 kW; and (6) a 220-foot-long, 2.4-
kilovolt (kV) electric line that connects the generators to a 2.4/69-kV
step-up transformer. The project creates an approximately 1,400-foot-
long bypassed reach of the White River. A 1-foot-diameter steel pipe
conveys flow from the intake structure to the bypassed reach.
    Project recreation facilities include: (1) a boat access site and
canoe portage take-out site at the north embankment of the dam; (2) an
approximately 2,260 feet canoe portage trail; (3) a canoe put-in site
approximately 90 feet downstream of the powerhouse; and (4) a tailrace
fishing area.
    The current license requires the project to operate in a run-of-
river mode, such that outflow from the project approximates inflow to
protect aquatic resources in the White River. The current license
requires the impoundment to be maintained at an elevation between 710.4
and 711.6 feet NGVD 29. The current license also requires a minimum
bypassed reach flow of 16 cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow to the
impoundment, whichever is less, to protect aquatic resources. The
minimum and maximum hydraulic capacities of the powerhouse are 50 and
350 cfs, respectively. The average annual generation of the project was
4,927 megawatt-hours from 2017 through 2022.
    The applicant proposes the following changes to the project
boundary: (1)

revise the project boundary around the impoundment to follow a contour
elevation of 711.6 NGVD 29, which would result in a reduction in the
total acreage of the project boundary upstream of the dam from 76.5 to
41.2 acres; (2) revise the project boundary downstream of the dam to
remove approximately 38.8 acres of land north of the access road to the
powerhouse and non-project substation and approximately 12 acres of
land northeast of the powerhouse; and (3) revise the project boundary
downstream of the dam to include approximately 0.3 acre of land
associated with a non-project substation, approximately 0.6 acre of
land associated with an access road, approximately 1.3 acres of water
downstream of the project, and approximately 0.3 acre east of the south
earthen embankment.
    The applicant proposes to: (1) continue to operate the project in a
run-of-river mode to protect aquatic resources; (2) continue to
maintain the impoundment elevation between 710.4 and 711.6 feet NGVD
29; (3) continue to release a minimum flow of 16 cfs or inflow,
whichever is less, to the bypassed reach at all times; (4) develop an
operation compliance monitoring plan; (5) consult with resource
agencies and the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa
Indians prior to temporary modifications of project operation,
including non-emergency impoundment drawdowns, and file a report with
the Commission within 14 days after the planned deviation; (6) conduct
shoreline erosion surveys every ten years; (7) develop an invasive
species monitoring plan; (8) pass woody debris from the impoundment to
the bypassed reach; (9) replace recreational signage; (10) maintain
project recreation facilities; (11) implement the State of Wisconsin's
broad incidental take permits/authorizations for Wisconsin cave bats
and wood turtles; (12) avoid vegetation management and construction
activities within 660 feet of bald eagle nests during the nesting
season; and (13) develop a historic properties management plan.
