SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-87107; File No. SR-CBOE-2019-044]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt Rule 6.49B, Off-Floor RWA
Transfers

September 25, 2019.

I. Introduction

    On August 6, 2019, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``Cboe
Options'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposal to adopt Cboe Rule 6.49B to add an exception to the general
prohibition against off-floor position transfers. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on August 14,
2019.\3\ The Commission received two comment letters on the
proposal.\4\ This order approves the proposed rule change.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

Commission, dated August 19, 2019, available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboe-2019-035/srcboe2019035-5985436-190350.pdf (``SIG
Letter'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    Cboe Rule 6.49(a) generally requires transactions of option
contracts listed on the Exchange for a premium in excess of $1.00 to be
effected on the Exchange or on another exchange. Notwithstanding the
prohibition set forth in Rule 6.49(a), Cboe Rule 6.49A(a) specifies
several circumstances under which Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'') may
effect transfers of positions off exchange.
    The Exchange proposes to adopt new Cboe Rule 6.49B to add an
additional exception to the prohibition in Rule 6.49(a). Rule 6.49B
provides that notwithstanding Rule 6.49, existing positions in options
of a TPH or non-TPH (including an affiliate of a TPH) that are listed
on the Exchange may be transferred on, from, or to the books of a
Clearing Trading Permit Holder off the Exchange if the transfer
establishes a net reduction of RWA attributable to those options
positions (an ``RWA Transfer'').\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See proposed Rule 6.49B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An RWA transfer could not result in a change in ownership, as it
must occur between accounts of the same Person.\6\ Further, RWA
Transfers may occur on a routine, recurring basis \7\ and may result in
the netting of positions.\8\ However, RWA Transfers may not result in
preferential margin or haircut treatment.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See proposed Rule 6.49B(e). Cboe Rule 1.1 defines ``Person''
as an individual, partnership (general or limited), joint stock
company, corporation, limited liability company, trust or
unincorporated organization, or any governmental entity or agency or
political subdivision thereof. The Exchange represents that any RWA
Transfers will be subject to all applicable recordkeeping
requirements applicable to TPHs and Clearing Trading Permit Holders
under the Act. See Notice, supra note 3, at 40463 n.24.
    \7\ See proposed Rule 6.49B(b).
    \8\ See proposed Rule 6.49B(c).
    \9\ See proposed Rule 6.49B(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act,\10\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\11\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\12\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest and that the
rules are not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \11\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that two comment letters received from options
market makers support the proposal.\13\ One believed that the proposed
rule will allow for ``[m]ore efficient capital management'' that would
facilitate the ability of options market makers ``to provide additional
liquidity in the listed options market.'' \14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See supra note 4. One commenter noted that the proposal
``provides proper justifications for fewer restrictions'' on
transfers involving no material change of beneficial ownership. See
SIG Letter, supra note 4, at 2. The other commenter stated that
permitting RWA Transfers ``allows options market makers to
recognize, in a more economically rational way, the risk reducing
benefits of a balanced derivative portfolio--to the benefit of
investors generally.'' See IMC Letter, supra note 4, at 2.
    \14\ See IMC Letter, supra note 4, at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that proposed Rule 6.49B should provide
market makers with the flexibility to reduce RWA exposure by moving
their positions between accounts.\15\ To the extent they do so and are
able to net positions as a result, it should facilitate the ability of
Clearing Trading Permit Holders to provide capital to clear trades,
which should facilitate liquidity provision in support of fair and
orderly markets and to the benefit of investors.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See, e.g., Notice, supra note 3, at 40462 (``These are
merely transfers from one clearing account to another, both of which
are attributable to the same individual or legal entity. A market
participant effecting an RWA Transfer is analogous to an individual
transferring funds from a checking account to a savings account, or
from an account at one bank to an account at another bank--the money
still belongs to the same person, who is just holding it in a
different account for personal financial reasons.''). The Exchange
also compared Rule 6.49B as having a ``similar result as changing a
give up or CMTA . . . just at a different time.'' See id.
    \16\ The Commission notes that, as is true for all other off-
floor transfers permitted under Rule 6.49A, RWA Transfers may not
result in preferential margin or haircut treatment. See proposed
Rule 6.49B(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\17\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2019-044) be, and
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\18\

1 United States Prevention, Pesticides April 2003 Environmental Protection and Toxic Substances Agency ( 7508C) Publication No. 738 F 03 001 4 CPA TRED Facts EPA has assessed the risks associated with the use of 4 Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid ( 4 CPA), and completed a Report of the Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA) Tolerance Reassessment Progress and Risk Management Decision ( known as a TRED) for this pesticide. As a result of the TRED, the Agency has determined that the risks posed by the used of 4 CPA fits into its own " risk cup," meaning its risks are within acceptable levels.

The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA), as amended by FQPA, requires EPA to review all the tolerances ( legal limits for residues in food) for registered chemicals in effect on or before the date of the enactment of the FQPA. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA completed a 4 CPA Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( RED) prior to FQPA of 1996 enactment; therefore, tolerances needed to be reassessed to meet the FQPA standard.

In reviewing these tolerances, the Agency must consider, among other things, aggregate risks from non occupational sources of pesticide exposure, whether there is increased susceptibility to infants and children, and the cumulative effects of pesticides with a common mechanism of toxicity. However, for 4 CPA, the only potential exposure anticipated is via ingestion of food. There is no exposure expected through consumption of drinking water given the enclosed nature of the chemical's use, and there are no registered residential uses. So aggregating exposures from the food, drinking water, and residential pathways of exposure is not necessary.

The Agency has evaluated the dietary risk associated with 4 CPA and has determined that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm to any population subgroup will result from exposure to residues of 4 CPA. Therefore, no mitigation measures are needed and the tolerance established for residues of 4 CPA in/ on the raw agricultural commodity is now considered reassessed as safe under § 408( q) of the FFDCA.

Use Summary ° 4 CPA is an herbicide used specifically as a plant growth regulator to restrict root growth during seed germination of mung beans.

° 4 CPA is applied to a water bath to soak the beans. After the beans have soaked for several hours, they are washed to remove the surface residues, and are then germinated indoors for 2 several days. After sprouting, the hulls and roots are discarded, and the remaining portion is canned and sold for human consumption.

° Approximately 20 lbs of 4 CPA active ingredient ( a. i.) is used annually.

Health Effects ° The Agency is not concerned with any carcinogenic potential of 4 CPA.

Dietary ( food and drinking water) Risks ° No effects were identified for acute dietary exposure. Therefore, due to the limited use and use patterns of 4 CPA, the Agency concluded that chronic dietary exposure was the only exposure scenario to consider.

° The chronic dietary risk for the most highly exposed population subgroup, children 1 to 6 years, is negligible ( less than 0.2% of the chronic Population Adjusted Dose or cPAD) and therefore, not of concern to the Agency.

° There is no exposure expected through consumption of drinking water due to its limited indoor use.

Occupational and Ecological Risks ° Occupational and ecological risk management decisions were made as part of the 1995 RED. No new data pertaining to these types of exposures has been received.

° The Agency has determined that given the limited usage of this chemical in total annual pounds used and geographic area used, there are unlikely to be risks to endangered species associated with the use of 4 CPA.

Label Amendments/ Risk Mitigation ° In completing this TRED, the Agency did not identify any label amendments which should be implemented.

Tolerance Reassessment Decisions ° The existing mung bean tolerance for 4 CPA has been reassessed. It will be lowered from 2.0 ppm to 0.2 ppm. One other tolerance, for tomatoes, will be revoked because 4 CPA use on tomatoes is no longer supported or on the current label. 3 Next Steps ° A Notice of Availability of the 4 CPA TRED and other supporting documents, including risk assessments and the comments on the preliminary risk assessment will be published in the Federal Register. A copy of the TRED and all supporting documents will also be available through the Agency's electronic public docket and comment system, EPA Dockets, and in the OPP public docket for viewing. You may access EPA dockets at www. epa. gov/ edocket/. The 4 CPA docket ID number is OPP 2003 0124.

    Abstract: Natural Gas STAR is a voluntary program sponsored by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages oil and
natural gas companies to adopt cost effective technologies and practice
that improve operational efficiency and reduce methane emissions.
Methane is the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse
gas. The Program works with oil and natural gas companies in the
production, gathering & processing, transmission, and distribution
sectors to remove barriers that inhibit the implementation of
technologies and practices that reduce methane emissions. The Program
effectively promotes the adoption of emission reduction technologies
and practices by helping Natural Gas Star partners evaluate Best
Management Practices (BMPs) and Partner Reported Opportunities (PROs)
in the context of their current operations, and implement them where
cost effective. Implementation of the Program's BMPs and PROs saves
participants money, improves operational efficiency, and enhances the
protection of the environment.

Form Numbers

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Figure Eight Beach Homeowners
Association, who owns and operates the Figure Eight Swing Bridge across
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), North Carolina Cut, mile
278.1, at Scotts Hill, NC, has requested a temporary deviation from the
current operating regulations set out in 33 CFR 117.821(a)(3), to
accommodate mechanical gear replacement.
    Under the current operating schedule, the draw shall open on signal
for commercial vessels at all times and open on signal for pleasure
vessels except need only open for pleasure vessels on the hour and half
hour. Figure Eight Swing Bridge, at AIWW mile 278.1, across the North
Carolina Cut in Scotts Hill, NC, has a vertical clearance in the closed
position to vessels of 20 feet above mean high water. During this time
of year approximately two vessels a day transits the area.
    To facilitate mechanical gear replacement, the drawbridge will be
maintained in the closed-to-navigation position from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
on February 7 and 8, 2012. The mechanical gear replacement is scheduled
for February 7, 2012. Under this temporary deviation, the drawbridge
will remain in the closed position to vessels requiring an opening from
10 p.m. to 3 p.m. However, should weather preclude this work from
taking place on February 7, 2012, the work will be re-scheduled to take
place on February 8, 2012. In that case, the drawbridge will operate as
normal on February 7, 2012 and the drawbridge will remain in the closed
position to vessels requiring an opening from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on
February 8, 2012.
    Vessels may transit under the drawbridge while it is in the closed
position. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway caters to a variety of
vessels from tug and barge traffic to recreational vessels traveling
from Florida to Maine. The Coast Guard will inform unexpected users of
the waterway through our local and broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
limited operating schedule for the drawbridge so that vessels can
arrange their transits to minimize any impacts caused by the temporary
deviation. The Atlantic Ocean is the alternate route for vessels and
the bridge will not be able to open in the event of an emergency. The
Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterway through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the opening restrictions of the draw
span to minimize transiting delays caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the draw must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period.
    This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under
33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: January 20, 2012.

[EPA-R04-OAR-2021-0363; FRL-10016-02-R4]

Air Plan and Operating Permit Program Approval; TN; Electronic
Notice (e-Notice) Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing the
approval of changes to the Tennessee State Implementation Plan (SIP)
and the Tennessee title V operating permit program (title V) submitted
by the State of Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of
Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Division of Air Pollution Control
on March 23, 2021, and supplemented on July 1, 2022. These changes
address the public notice rule provisions for the New Source Review
(NSR) and title V programs of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) by
providing for electronic notice (e-notice) and removing the mandatory
requirement to provide public notice of a draft air permit in a printed
newspaper. EPA is approving these changes as they are consistent with
the CAA and implementing federal regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective October 31, 2022.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2021-0363. All documents in the docket
are listed on the www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in the
index, some information may not be publicly available, i.e.,
Confidential Business Information or other information whose disclosure
is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are
available either electronically through www.regulations.gov or in hard
copy at the Air Regulatory Management Section, Air Planning and
Implementation Branch, Air and Radiation Division, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street SW, Atlanta, Georgia
30303-8960. EPA requests that if at all possible, you contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to
schedule your inspection. The Regional Office's official hours of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On October 5, 2016, EPA finalized changes to the public notice
provisions for the NSR, title V, and Outer Continental Shelf permitting
programs of the CAA. See 81 FR 71613 (October 18, 2016). These rule
changes removed the mandatory requirement to provide public notice of
permitting actions through publication in a newspaper and allow for
internet e-notice as an option for permitting authorities implementing
their own EPA-approved SIP rules and title V rules, such as Tennessee's
EPA-approved permitting programs. Permitting authorities are not
required to adopt e-notice, however, nothing in the revised rules
prevents a permitting authority with an EPA-approved permitting program
from continuing to use newspaper notification and/or from supplementing
e-notice with newspaper notification and/or additional means of
notification. For permits issued by permitting authorities with EPA-
approved programs, the rule requires the permitting authority to use
``a consistent noticing method'' for all permit notices under the
specific permitting program. When e-notice is provided, EPA's rule
requires electronic access (e-access) to the draft permit for the
duration of the public comment period.
    Through a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), published on July
25, 2022, EPA proposed to approve changes to Tennessee's Rule 1200-03-
09-.01, Construction Permits; and Rule 1200-03-09-.02, Operating
Permits, of Chapter 1200-03-09, Construction and Operating Permits, as
submitted by TDEC on March 23, 2021. See 87 FR 44076. These changes
establish a revised method of publication of public notices for public
hearings and public comment periods and change how documents related to
permit proceedings will be available for public inspection. Additional
details on Tennessee's March 23, 2021, SIP revision, as well as EPA's
analysis of the changes, can be found in the July 25, 2022, NPRM.
Comments on the July 25, 2022, NPRM were due on or before August 25,
2022. No adverse comments were received on the July 25, 2022, NPRM, so
EPA is now finalizing the approval of the changes as proposed.

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, and as discussed in Section I of this preamble, and the July 25,
2022, NPRM, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of Rule
1200-03-09-.01, Construction Permits, state effective January 21, 2021,
into the Tennessee SIP.\1\ EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at
the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the person identified in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA is not incorporating the January 21, 2021, state
effective version of certain provisions of 1200-03-09-.01 identified
below in the amended Explanation column of the SIP table at 40 CFR
52.2220(c).
    \2\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    As described in the July 25, 2022, NPRM, EPA is approving the
changes to Chapter 1200-03-09, Construction and Operating Permits; Rule
1200-03-09-.01, Construction Permits of the Tennessee SIP; and Rule
1200-03-09-.02, Operating Permits, of the Tennessee title V program, as
submitted on March 23, 2021, and supplemented on July 1, 2022.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. This action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 29, 2022. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not

affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review
nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review
may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984
(Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term
Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide that a patent may
be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item
(human drug or biologic product, animal drug product, medical device,
food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by
FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product's
regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the amount of
extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of USPTO may award
(for example, half the testing phase must be subtracted as well as any
time that may have occurred before the patent was issued), FDA's
determination of the length of a regulatory review period for a human
drug product will include all of the testing phase and approval phase
as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved new drug application (NDA) 211672 for marketing
the human drug product, XENLETA tablets (lefamulin) indicated for the
treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia caused
by susceptible microorganisms. Subsequent to this approval, the USPTO
received patent term restoration applications for XENLETA tablets (U.S.
Patent Nos. 8,071,643; 8,153,689; and 9,120,727) from Nabriva
Therapeutics GMBH and the USPTO requested FDA's assistance in
determining the patents' eligibility for patent term restoration. In a
letter dated October 13, 2020, FDA advised the USPTO that this human
drug product had undergone a regulatory review period and that the
approval of XENLETA tablets and XENLETA injection represent the first
permitted commercial marketing or use of the products. Thereafter, the
USPTO requested that FDA determine the product's regulatory review
period.

II. Determination of Regulatory Review Period

    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
XENLETA tablets is 3,595 days. Of this time, 3,351 days occurred during
the testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 244 days
occurred during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived
from the following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective:
October 17, 2009. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the date
the investigational new drug application became effective was on
October 17, 2009.
    2. The date the new drug application (NDA 211672) was initially
submitted with respect to the human drug product under section 505 of
the FD&C Act: December 19, 2018. FDA has verified the applicant's claim
that the new drug application (NDA) for XENLETA tablets (NDA 211672)
was initially submitted on December 19, 2018.
    3. The date the application was approved: August 19, 2019. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 211672 was approved on August
19, 2019.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO
applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual
period for patent extension. In its applications for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 819 days, 1,465 days, or 1,528 days of patent term
extension.

III. Petitions

    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under
21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES). Furthermore, as
specified in Sec.  60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period.
To meet its burden, the petition must comply with all the requirements
of Sec.  60.30, including but not limited to: Must be timely (see
DATES), must be filed in accordance with Sec.  10.20, must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation, and must certify that a
true and complete copy of the petition has been served upon the patent
applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42,
1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Submit petitions electronically to https://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Submit written petitions (two copies are
required) to the Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

SUMMARY: The FAA announces its determination that the noise exposure
maps submitted by Oakland County, for the Oakland County International
Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq. (formerly the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as
``the Act'') and 14 CFR Part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ``Part
150'') are in compliance with applicable requirements.

DATES: This notice is effective [insert date upon publication in
Federal Register], and is applicable beginning April 24, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Katherine S. Delaney, Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces the FAA finds the
noise exposure maps submitted for Oakland County International Airport
are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective
April 23, 2013. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Act, an airport operator
may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable
regulations and which depict non-compatible land uses as of the date of
submission of such maps, a description of projected aircraft
operations, and the ways in which such operations will affect such
maps. The Act requires such maps to be developed in consultation with
interested and affected parties in the local community, government
agencies, and persons using the airport. An airport operator who has
submitted noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance
with the requirements of Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may
submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth
the measures the operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce
existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional
non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by Oakland County. The
documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as defined
in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: The existing NEM is located in
Figure D5, Existing Noise Exposure Map, 2010 and the future NEM is
located in Figure D6 Future Noise Exposure Map, 2021. The information
gathered and analyzed to generate the NEMs is located in various
sections of the report. Figure A2, Existing Airport Layout with a
narrative description on Page A.3 applies to both the existing and
future NEM. The following references were used to develop Figure D5,

    The Future NEM is located in Figure D6, Future Noise Exposure Map,
2021. The following references were used to develop Figure D6, Future
Noise Exposure Map, 2021: Table D6, Operations by Aircraft Category--
2021 Baseline Period and Table D7, Aircraft Fleet Mix Assumptions for
Future Conditions, 2021. The Flight Tracks depicted in Figure D3, INM
Flight Tracks, West Flow and Figure D4, INM Flight Tracks, East Flow
were used for both existing and future baseline conditions. The FAA has
determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on April 24, 2013.
    FAA's determination on an airport operator's noise exposure maps is
limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with
the procedures contained in Appendix A of Part 150. Such determination
does not constitute approval of the applicant's data, information or
plans, or a commitment to approve a noise compatibility program or to
fund the implementation of that program.
    If questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a noise exposure map
submitted under section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the
FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise contours, or in
interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning,
for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of
section 47506 of the Act. These functions are inseparable from the
ultimate land use control and planning responsibilities of local
government. These local responsibilities are not changed in any way
under Part 150 or through FAA's review of noise exposure maps.
Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise
exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface
rests exclusively with the airport operator that submitted those maps,
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which
consultation is required under section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has
relied on the certification by the airport operator, under section
150.21 of Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been
accomplished.
    Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the
following locations. Prior arrangements are required to visit the
Detroit Airports District Office.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2014-0001]

Establishment of an Emergency Relief Docket for Calendar Year
2014

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of establishment of public docket.

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

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the establishment of FRA's emergency
relief docket (ERD) for calendar year 2014. The designated ERD for
calendar year 2014 is Docket Number FRA-2014-0001.

ADDRESSES: See Supplementary Information for further information
regarding submitting petitions or comments to Docket Number FRA-2014-
0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 19, 2009, FRA published a direct
final rule addressing the establishment of ERDs and the procedures for
handling petitions for emergency waivers of safety rules, regulations,
or standards during an emergency situation or event. 74 FR 23329. That
direct final rule became effective on July 20, 2009, and made minor
modifications to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 211.45 in
FRA's Rules of Practice published at 49 CFR part 211. Paragraph (b) of
Section 211.45 provides that each calendar year, FRA will establish an
ERD in the publicly accessible DOT docket system (available at http://www.regulations.gov). Paragraph (b) of Section 211.45 further provides
that FRA will publish a notice in the Federal Register identifying by
docket number the ERD for that year. As noted in the rule, FRA's
purpose for establishing the ERD and emergency waiver procedures is to
provide an expedited process for FRA to address the needs of the public
and the railroad industry during emergency situations or events. This
Notice announces that the designated ERD for calendar year 2014 is
Docket Number FRA-2014-0001.
    As detailed in Section 211.45, if the FRA Administrator determines
that an emergency event as defined in 49 CFR 211.45(a) has occurred, or
that an imminent threat of such an emergency occurring exists, and
public safety would benefit from providing the railroad industry with
operational relief, the emergency waiver procedures of 49 CFR 211.45
will go into effect. In such an event, the FRA Administrator will issue
a statement in the ERD indicating

that the emergency waiver procedures are in effect and FRA will make
every effort to post the statement on its Web site at http://www.fra.dot.gov. Any party desiring relief from FRA's regulatory
requirements as a result of the emergency situation should submit a
petition for emergency waiver in accordance with 49 CFR 211.45(e) and
(f). Specific instructions for filing petitions for emergency waivers
in accordance with 49 CFR 211.45 are found at 49 CFR 211.45(f).
Specific instructions for filing comments in response to petitions for
emergency waivers are found at 49 CFR 211.45(h).
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document,
if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
