II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The 21 individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11).
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting the exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5--1951.
    This standard was adopted in 1970 and was revised in 1971 to allow
drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a hearing
aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
    On February 1, 2013, FMCSA announced in a Notice of Final
Disposition titled, ``Qualification of Drivers; Application for
Exemptions; National Association of the Deaf,'' (78 FR 7479), its
decision to grant requests from 40 individuals for exemptions from the
Agency's physical qualification standard concerning hearing for
interstate CMV drivers. Since that time the Agency has published
additional notices granting requests from hard of hearing and deaf
individuals for exemptions from the Agency's physical qualification
standard concerning hearing for interstate CMV drivers.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission Office of Filings and Information Services, Extension:
Washington, DC 20549.

Rule 154; SEC File No. 270-438; OMB Control No. 3235-0495.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit these
existing collections of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    The federal securities laws generally prohibit an issuer,
underwriter, or dealer from delivering a security for sale unless a
prospectus meeting certain requirements accompanies or precedes the
security. Rule 154 (17 CFR 230.154) under the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77a) (the ``Securities Act'') permits, under certain
circumstances, delivery of a single prospectus to investors who
purchase securities from the same issuer and share the same address
(``householding'') to satisfy the applicable prospectus delivery
requirements.\1\ The purpose of Rule 154 is to reduce the amount of
duplicative prospectuses delivered to investors sharing the same
address.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Securities Act requires the delivery of prospectuses to
investors who buy securities from an issuer or from underwriters or
dealers who participate in a registered distribution of securities.
See Securities Act sections 2(a)(10), 4(1), 4(3), 5(b) [15 U.S.C.
77b(a)(10), 77d(1), 77d(3), 77e(b); see also Rule 174 under the
Securities Act (17 CFR 230.174) (regarding the prospectus delivery
obligation of dealers); Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.15c2-8) (prospectus delivery obligations of
brokers and dealers).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under Rule 154, a prospectus is considered delivered to all
investors at a shared address, for purposes of the federal securities
laws, if the person relying on the rule delivers the prospectus to the
shared address and the investors consent to the delivery of a single
prospectus. The rule applies to

prospectuses and prospectus supplements. Currently, the rule permits
householding of all prospectuses by an issuer, underwriter, or dealer
relying on the rule if, in addition to the other conditions set forth
in the rule, the issuer, underwriter, or dealer has obtained from each
investor written or implied consent to householding.\2\ The rule
requires issuers, underwriters, or dealers that wish to household
prospectuses with implied consent to send a notice to each investor
stating that the investors in the household will receive one prospectus
in the future unless the investors provide contrary instructions. In
addition, at least once a year, issuers, underwriters, or dealers,
relying on Rule 154 for the householding of prospectuses, must explain
to investors who have provided written or implied consent how they can
revoke their consent. Preparing and sending the initial notice and the
annual explanation of the right to revoke are collections of
information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Rule 154 permits the householding of prospectuses that are
delivered electronically to investors only if delivery is made to a
shared electronic address and the investors give written consent to
householding. Implied consent is not permitted in such a situation.
See Rule 154(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The rule allows issuers, underwriters, or dealers to household
prospectuses and prospectus supplements if certain conditions are met.
Among the conditions with which a person relying on the rule must
comply are providing notice to each investor that only one prospectus
will be sent to the household and, in the case of issuers that are
open-end mutual funds, providing to each investor who consents to
householding an annual explanation of the right to revoke consent to
the delivery of a single prospectus to multiple investors sharing an
address. The purpose of the notice and annual explanation requirements
of the rule is to ensure that investors who wish to receive individual
copies of shareholder reports are able to do so.
    Although Rule 154 is not limited to investment companies, the
Commission believes that it is used mainly by open-end mutual funds and
by broker-dealers that deliver prospectuses for open-end mutual funds.
The Commission is unable to estimate the number of issuers other than
mutual funds that rely on the rule.
    The Commission estimates that there are approximately 2,400 open-
end mutual funds, approximately 200 of which engage in direct marketing
and therefore deliver their own prospectuses. The Commission estimates
that each direct-marketed mutual fund will spend an average of 20 hours
per year complying with the notice requirement of the rule, for a total
of 4,000 hours. The Commission estimates that each direct-marketed fund
will also spend 1 hour complying with the explanation of the right to
revoke requirement of the rule, for a total of 200 hours. The
Commission estimates that there are approximately 361 broker-dealers
that carry customer accounts and, therefore, may be required to deliver
mutual fund prospectuses. The Commission estimates that each affected
broker-dealer will spend, on average, approximately 20 hours complying
with the notice requirement of the rule, for a total of 7,220 hours.
Each broker-dealer will also spend 1 hour complying with the annual
explanation of the right to revoke requirement, for a total of 361
hours. Therefore, the total number of respondents for Rule 154 is 561
(200 mutual funds plus 361 broker-dealers), and the estimated total
hour burden is 11,781 hours (4,200 hours for mutual funds plus 7,581
hours for broker-dealers).
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the collections of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collections 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.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or
send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[EPA OAR-2003-0083; FRL-8231-1]

Air Quality Designations and Classifications for the 8-Hour Ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standards; Early Action Compact Areas With
Deferred Effective Dates

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary
for Monroe County, Georgia by deleting a highway from the boundary
description, and clarifies the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for
Murray County, Georgia by adding a boundary description. Monroe County,
Georgia is part of the Macon, Georgia 8-hour ozone nonattainment area
and a portion of Murray County, Georgia makes up the Murray County
(Chattahoochee National Forest Mountains), Georgia 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. The nonattainment boundaries for these two counties
were described in EPA's final 8-hour ozone designations rule which was
published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2004. EPA is clarifying
the exact location of the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for
Murray County by including the precise descriptions of the boundary in
the Code of Federal Regulations. In addition, pursuant to Clean Air Act
(CAA) section 110(k)(6), EPA is also correcting an error made in
identifying the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for Monroe County.

Effective Date: This action is effective: October 13, 2006.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established dockets for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA OAR-2003-0083 (Designations) and EPA OAR-2003-0090 (Early

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 30, 2004, (69 FR 23858), EPA
published a rule designating and classifying areas for the 8-hour ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). That rule designated
portions of both Monroe County and Murray County, Georgia, as
nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Those designations appear in
40 CFR 81.311. Today, EPA is clarifying the exact location of the 8-
hour ozone nonattainment boundary for Murray County by precisely
describing the boundary as was recommended by the State of Georgia and
approved by EPA in the April 2004 8-hour ozone designations rulemaking.
In addition, pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(6), EPA is correcting an
error made in identifying the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for
Monroe County.

Murray County

    In letters dated October 20, 2003, and March 4, 2004, the State of
Georgia recommended an 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for Murray
County, Georgia (Murray County, Chattahoochee National Forest
Mountains, Georgia 8-hour ozone nonattainment area) and described the
boundary as being ``enclosed to the east by Murray County's eastern
border, to the north by latitude of 34.9004 degrees, to the west by
longitude 84.7200 degrees, and to the south by 34.7040 degrees. All
mountain peaks within the Chattahoochee National Forest area of Murray
County that have an elevation greater than or equal to 2,400 feet and
that are enclosed by contour lines that close on themselves.'' See,
Letter from Ron Methier, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, to
Kay Prince, EPA Region 4, dated March 4, 2004. EPA concurred with this
nonattainment boundary for Murray County, but in our subsequent April
30, 2004, 8-hour ozone designations rulemaking we described the
nonattainment boundary only generally as ``Murray Co. (Chattahoochee
Nat Forest), GA: Murray County (part).'' See, 69 FR 23857 (April 30,
2004).
    The purpose of today's rule is not to change the Murray County,
Georgia, 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary, but to clarify the exact
boundary description as recommended by Georgia and concurred upon by
EPA as part of the April 30, 2004 8-hour ozone designations rulemaking.
Thus, EPA is more clearly describing the Murray County 8-hour ozone
nonattainment boundary (found at 40 CFR 81. 311) as:
     The area enclosed to the east by Murray County's eastern
border, to the north by latitude of 34.9004 degrees, to the west by
longitude 84.7200 degrees, and to the south by 34.7040 degrees. All
mountain peaks within the Chattahoochee National Forest area of Murray
County that have an elevation greater than or equal to 2,400 feet and
that are enclosed by contour lines that close on themselves.

Monroe County

    Monroe County and Bibb County, Georgia make up the Macon, Georgia,
8-hour ozone nonattainment area. 69 FR 23857, 23894 (April 30, 2004).
Monroe County is adjacent to the core Consolidated Metropolitan
Statistical Area (CMSA) county of Bibb and has a large source of
nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions from Georgia Power Company's
Plant Scherer. Based on EPA's technical analysis in 2004, the portion
of Monroe County that contains Plant Scherer was determined to be
contributing to the 8-hour ozone violations recorded in Bibb County.
    In its initial designation recommendation in July 2003, Georgia did
not recommend any portion of Monroe County be included as part of the
designated 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. In EPA's December 2003
response to the State's recommendation, EPA indicated that Monroe
County should be included as part of the designated nonattainment area.
Just prior to EPA's signature on the 8-hour ozone nonattainment
designations on April 15, 2004, EPA's Office of Air Quality, Planning
and Standards (OAQPS) requested that Georgia provide EPA with a
boundary description for the Monroe County portion of the Macon,
Georgia 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. In response, on April 13,
2004, the State of Georgia submitted a recommended boundary to OAQPS
that included Georgia Power's Plant Scherer and that included the
portion of the county that was contiguous to Bibb County. That
recommendation included a road--U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87--as part of
the recommended area to be designated nonattainment. The April 13, 2004
recommended boundary description read as follows:
     From the point where Bibb and Monroe Counties meet at the
Ocmulgee River, follow the Ocmulgee River boundary north to 33 degrees,
05 minutes, due west to 83 degrees, 50 minutes, due south to the
intersection with Georgia Hwy 18, east along Georgia Hwy 18 to U.S. Hwy
23/Georgia Hwy 87, south on U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 to the Monroe/
Bibb County line, and east to the intersection with the Ocmulgee River.
    Following EPA's signature on the 8-hour ozone designations rule on
April 15, 2004, but just prior to EPA's announcement of its 8-hour
ozone designations on April 30, 2004, the State of Georgia submitted a
corrected boundary description for Monroe County (on April 29, 2004).
The corrected boundary description was provided to EPA Region 4, rather
than OAQPS and continued to be contiguous to Bibb County and continued
to include Georgia Power's Plant Scherer. The correction, however,
excluded U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87. The State's April 29, 2004
corrected boundary description for Monroe County read as follows:
     From the point where Bibb and Monroe Counties meet at U.S.
Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 follow the Bibb/Monroe County line westward 150'
from the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 centerline, proceed northward 150'
west of and parallel to the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 centerline to 33
degrees, 04 minutes, 30 seconds; proceed westward to 83 degrees, 49
minutes, 45 seconds; proceed due south to 150' north of the Georgia Hwy
18 centerline, proceed eastward 150' north of and parallel to the
Georgia Hwy 18 centerline to 1150' west of the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy
87 centerline, proceed southward 1150' west of and parallel to the U.S.
Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 centerline to the Monroe/Bibb County line; then
follow

the Monroe/Bibb County line to 150' west of the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy
87 centerline.
    EPA Region 4 reviewed this corrected boundary recommendation at the
time it was submitted and agreed with the recommendation, finding that
it continued to include Georgia Power's Plant Scherer and was
consistent with EPA's 11-factor nonattainment boundary guidance.
However, at the time EPA Region 4 received Georgia's corrected boundary
description for Monroe County, it was unaware that Georgia had
previously provided a different description to OAQPS. In addition, EPA
Region 4 believed, erroneously, that Georgia had simultaneously
provided its April 29, 2004 corrected boundary description to OAQPS.
Yet, Georgia had not provided its boundary correction to OAQPS and as a
result, no effort was made by either EPA Region 4 or OAQPS to correct
the Monroe County boundary description prior to the June 15, 2004,
effective date of designation.
    EPA is taking action today to correct its error in failing to
correct the boundary prior to the area's effective date of designation.
Because the April 29, 2004 letter was submitted in sufficient time for
EPA to have corrected the boundary prior to the effective date of
designation and such correction was not made due to a breakdown in
communication between two EPA offices, EPA is today correcting its
error. The corrected boundary description will read as follows:
     From the point where Bibb and Monroe Counties meet at U.S.
Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 follow the Bibb/Monroe County line westward 150'
from the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 centerline, proceed northward 150'
west of and parallel to the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 centerline to 33
degrees, 04 minutes, 30 seconds; proceed westward to 83 degrees, 49
minutes, 45 seconds; proceed due south to 150' north of the Georgia Hwy
18 centerline, proceed eastward 150' north of and parallel to the
Georgia Hwy 18 centerline to 1150' west of the U.S. Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy
87 centerline, proceed southward 1150' west of and parallel to the U.S.
Hwy 23/Georgia Hwy 87 centerline to the Monroe/Bibb County line; then
follow the Monroe/Bibb County line to 150' west of the U.S. Hwy 23/
Georgia Hwy 87 centerline.
    EPA is making this correction pursuant to the authority of CAA
section 110(k)(6). Section 110(k)(6) provides:
     ``Whenever the Administrator determines that the
Administrator's action approving, disapproving, or promulgating any
plan or plan revision (or part thereof), area designation,
redesignation, classification, or reclassification was in error, the
Administrator may in the same manner as the approval, disapproval, or
promulgation, revise such action as appropriate without requiring any
further submission from the State. Such determination and the basis
thereof shall be provided to the State and public.''
    As discussed above, the Administrator erroneously allowed the 8-
hour ozone area designation for Monroe County, Georgia to become
effective without reflecting Georgia's April 29, 2004 correction of its
boundary recommendation. EPA's recent discovery of this error prompted
today's correction.

Public Participation

    EPA is clarifying the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for
Murray County, Georgia without notice and comment in accordance with
CAA section 107(d)(2), which exempts the promulgation or announcement
of a designation (including boundary determinations) from the notice
and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
    In addition, EPA is correcting the 8-hour ozone nonattainment
boundary for Monroe County, Georgia without notice and comment for
several reasons. First, CAA section 110(k)(6) provides that corrections
to the promulgation of area designations (including boundary
corrections) may be accomplished by the Administrator ``in the same
manner'' as the promulgation. EPA's April 30, 2004 final 8-hour ozone
designations rule was published as a final rule without public notice
and comment in accordance with CAA section 107(d)(2), which exempts the
promulgation or announcement of a designation (including boundary
determinations) from the notice and comment provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act. Further, EPA's correction of the Monroe
County, Georgia, 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary falls under the
``good cause'' exemption in APA section 553(b)(3)(B). Section
553(b)(3)(B) provides that, upon finding ``good cause,'' agencies may
dispense with public participation where public notice and comment
procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public
interest. Public notice and comment for EPA's correction of the 8-hour
ozone nonattainment boundary for Monroe County, Georgia, is unnecessary
because the correction makes no substantive difference to EPA's
analysis of the designation status of the Macon, Georgia, 8-hour
nonattainment area, as set out in EPA's April 30, 2004, final 8-hour
ozone designations rule (69 FR 23858). In the April 30, 2004
rulemaking, EPA included, as part of the Macon, Georgia, 8-hour ozone
nonattainment, the portion of Monroe County that contains Georgia
Power's Plant Scherer because that portion was determined to be
contributing to the 8-hour ozone violations recorded in Bibb County,
Georgia. Today's correction of the boundary for Monroe County does not
impact this prior technical analysis since the boundary continues to
include Georgia Power's Plant Scherer and continues to be consistent
with EPA's 11-factor ozone nonattainment boundary guidance. Finally,
EPA can identify no particular reason why the public would be
interested in being notified of this correction or in having the
opportunity to comment on the correction prior to this action being
finalized, since the corrected boundary for Monroe County continues to
include Georgia Power's Plant Scherer and continues to be consistent
with EPA's 11-factor ozone nonattainment boundary guidance.

Effective Date

    EPA also finds that there is good cause under APA section 553(d)(3)
for today's actions to become effective on the date of publication of
this final rule. Section 553(d)(3) of the APA allows an effective date
less than 30 days after publication ``as otherwise provided by the
agency for good cause found and published with the rule.'' 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). The purpose of the 30-day waiting period prescribed in APA
section 553(d)(3) is to give affected parties a reasonable time to
adjust their behavior and prepare before the final rule takes effect.
Today's rule, however, does not create any new regulatory requirements
such that affected parties would need time to prepare before the rule
takes effect. Rather, today's rule merely corrects the 8-hour ozone
nonattainment boundary for Monroe County, Georgia, to exclude a
highway, and clarifies the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for
Murray County, Georgia, by adding a boundary description to 40 CFR part
81. For these reasons, EPA finds good cause under APA section 553(d)(3)
for today's actions to become effective on the date of publication of
this final rule.

Final Actions

    EPA is taking two actions today. First, EPA is clarifying the exact
location of the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for Murray County
by including the boundary that was

recommended by the State of Georgia and approved by EPA in the April
2004 ozone designations rulemaking, but that was not included in 40 CFR
part 81. Second, pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(6), EPA is also
correcting the 8-hour ozone nonattainment boundary for Monroe County to
reflect Georgia's April 29, 2004 recommended boundary.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews:

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant''
and, therefore, subject to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
review and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a
rule that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million
or more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of
the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or state, local, or tribal governments or
communities; (2) create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) materially alter
the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan
programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4)
raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the
President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive
Order. Pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 12866, it has been
determined that this rule is not a ``significant regulatory action''
because none of the above factors applies. As such, this final rule was
not formally submitted to OMB for review.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
This rule only clarifies and corrects the 8-hour nonattainment
boundaries for Murray County and Monroe County, Georgia. This rule does
not establish any new information collection burden apart from that
required by law. Burden means 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. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the APA or any other
statute unless the agency certifies the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of
today's final rule on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A
small business that is a small industrial entity as defined in the U.S.
Small Business Administration (SBA) size standards. (See 13 CFR 121.);
(2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city,
county, town, school district or special district with a population of
less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-
profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field. This rule only clarifies and corrects the 8-hour
nonattainment boundaries for Murray County and Monroe County, Georgia.
The clarification and correction of these boundaries will not impose
any requirements on small entities. After considering the economic
impacts of today's final rule on small entities, I certify that this
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on state, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to state, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation of why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
requirements. Today's final rule does not include a Federal mandate
within the meaning of UMRA that may result in expenditures of $100
million or more in any one year by either state, local, or tribal
governments in the aggregate or to the private sector, and therefore,
is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
It does not create any additional requirements beyond those of the 8-
hour NAAQS for ozone (62 FR 38894; July 18, 1997), and therefore, no
UMRA analysis is needed. This rule only clarifies and corrects the 8-
hour nonattainment boundaries for Murray County and Monroe County,
Georgia. EPA believes that any new controls imposed as a result of this
rule will not cost in the aggregate $100 million or more annually.
Thus, this Federal rule will not impose mandates that will require
expenditures of $100 million or more in the aggregate in any one year.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by state

and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have
federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism
implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations
that have ``substantial direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government.'' This final rule does not have federalism implications. It
will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132. The Clean Air Act
establishes the scheme whereby states take the lead in developing plans
to meet the NAAQS. This rule will not modify the relationship of the
states and EPA for purposes of developing programs to implement the
NAAQS. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
Although Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule, EPA
discussed the designation process and compact program with
representatives of state and local air pollution control agencies, and
tribal governments, as well as the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee,
which is also composed of state and local representatives.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' This final rule does not have
``tribal implications'' as specified in Executive Order 13175. This
rule only clarifies and corrects the 8-hour ozone nonattainment
boundaries for Murray County and Monroe County, Georgia. The Clean Air
Act provides for states to develop plans to regulate emissions of air
pollutants within their jurisdictions. The Tribal Authority Rule (TAR)
gives tribes the opportunity to develop and implement Clean Air Act
programs such as programs to attain and maintain the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS, but it leaves to the discretion of the tribe whether to develop
these programs and which programs, or appropriate elements of a
program, they will adopt. This rule only clarifies and corrects the 8-
hour ozone nonattainment boundaries for Murray County and Monroe
County, Georgia, of which no tribal land is included. This final rule
does not have tribal implications as defined by Executive Order 13175.
It does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, since no tribe has implemented a Clean Air Act program to
attain the 8-hour ozone NAAQS at this time. Furthermore, this rule does
not affect the relationship or distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes. The
Clean Air Act and the TAR establish the relationship of the Federal
government and tribes in developing plans to attain the NAAQS, and this
rule does nothing to modify that relationship. Because this rule does
not have tribal implications, Executive Order 13175 does not apply.
Although Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule, prior to
designations action promulgated on April 15, 2004, EPA did outreach to
tribal representatives regarding the designations and to inform them
about the compact program and its impact on designations. EPA supports
a national ``Tribal Designations and Implementation Work Group'' which
provides an open forum for all tribes to voice concerns to EPA about
the designation and implementation process for the NAAQS, including the
8-hour ozone standard. These discussions informed EPA about key tribal
concerns regarding designations as the rule was under development.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and

Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that (1) is determined to be (economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or
safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency. This final
rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not
economically significant as defined in E.O. 12866, and because the
Agency does not have reason to believe the environmental health risks
or safety risks addressed by this rule present a disproportionate risk
to children. Nonetheless, we have evaluated the environmental health
and safety effects of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS on children. The results
of this risk assessment are contained in the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for Ozone, Final Rule (62 FR 38855-38896;
specifically, 62 FR 38854, 62 FR 38860 and 62 FR 38865).

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use,'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866. Information on the methodology and data
regarding the assessment of potential energy impacts is found in
Chapter 6 of U.S. EPA 2002, Cost, Emission Reduction, Energy, and
Economic Impact Assessment of the Proposed Rule Establishing the
Implementation Framework for the 8-Hour, 0.08 ppm Ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standard, prepared by the Innovative Strategies and
Economics Group, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Research
Triangle Park, NC April 24, 2003.

I. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law No. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress,
through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available
and applicable VCS. This rule does not involve technical standards.
Therefore, EPA did not consider the use of any VCS.

J. Congressional Review Act

    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 rule 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 rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This rule will be effective October 13, 2006.

K. Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 12, 2006. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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 CAA section 307(b)(2).)

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given
that, on September 27, 2023, the NYSE Chicago, Inc. (``NYSE Chicago''
or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``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.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 0 (Regulation of the Exchange
and Participants) to adopt new rule text based on based on [sic] Rule 0
(Regulation of the Exchange and its Member Organizations) of its
affiliate New York Stock Exchange LLC. The proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's website at www.nyse.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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 0 (Regulation of the Exchange
and Participants) to adopt new rule text based on Rule 0 (Regulation of
the Exchange and its Member Organizations) of its affiliate New York
Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''). Specifically, the Exchange proposes a
new subsection (b) in conformity with NYSE Rule 0(b). NYSE Rule 0(b) is
in turn based on FINRA Rule 0140(a) (Applicability), Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') General 2 (Organization and Administration),
Section 6(a), and Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``Nasdaq BX'') General 2
(Organization and Administration), Section 6(a).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For purposes of this filing, Nasdaq and Nasdaq BX are
referred to collectively as the ``Nasdaq Exchanges.'' Nasdaq General
2, Section 6(a) and Nasdaq BX General 2, Section 6(a) are referred
to collectively as the ``Nasdaq Exchanges' Rules.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Rule 0(b) provides that the NYSE's rules apply to all member
organizations and persons associated with a member organization and
that persons associated with a member organization shall have the same
duties and obligations as a member organization under the NYSE's rules.
NYSE Rule 0(b) mirrors FINRA Rule 0140(a) and the versions of FINRA
Rule 0140(a) adopted by the Nasdaq Exchanges, which similarly provide
that the rules of those self-regulatory organizations, as applicable,
apply to all members and persons associated with a member and that
persons associated with a member shall have the same duties and
obligations as a member under such rules.\5\ Proposed Rule 0(d) [sic]
is substantively identical to NYSE Rule 0(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``Participant'' is defined in Article 1, Rule 1(s)
to mean, among other things, any Participant Firm that holds a valid
Trading Permit and that a Participant shall be considered a
``member'' of the Exchange for purposes of the Act. If a Participant
is not a natural person, the Participant may also be referred to as
a Participant Firm. By way of comparison, FINRA uses the term
``member'' in its rules and NYSE uses the term ``member
organization.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would improve
the clarity of the Exchange's rules by reflecting that the Exchange's
rules apply to persons associated with a Participant or Participant
Firm and that such persons have the same duties and obligations as
their Participant or Participant Firm employer. A Participant's or
Participant Firm's compliance with Exchange rules may depend on the
actions of persons associated with the Participant or Participant Firm.
Accordingly, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule, which
mirrors the rules of its affiliate NYSE, FINRA and the Nasdaq
Exchanges, would promote consistency in the Exchange's rules by
expressly providing that the Exchange may enforce its rules with
respect to persons associated with a Participant or Participant Firm,
including by taking appropriate disciplinary action against such
persons for their Participant's or Participant Firm's violation of NYSE
Chicago rules. The Exchange notes that the proposed rule does not
contemplate disciplinary action against individuals not involved in
violations of Exchange rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\7\
in particular, because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system and, in general, protect investors and the
public interest because the proposed changes would add clarity to the
Exchange's rules. As previously noted, the proposed rule text conforms
to current NYSE Rule 0(b) without change. The Exchange believes that
adopting separate rule text expressly providing that all Exchange

rules apply to persons associated with a Participant or Participant
Firm and that such persons have the same duties and obligations as
their Participant or Participant Firm employer would benefit market
participants by providing increased clarity regarding the Exchange's
ability to enforce compliance with its rules by persons associated with
a Participant or Participant Firm, thereby reducing any potential
confusion with respect to the Exchange's interpretation or application
of its rules. Adding these clarifying statements to the Exchange's
rules would also further the goals of transparency and consistency
across the Exchange's rules and would provide greater harmonization
between Exchange rules and the rules of NYSE, FINRA and the Nasdaq
Exchanges, resulting in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory
compliance. For the same reasons, the addition of the proposed rule
text would protect investors and the public interest and would
therefore be consistent with Section 6(b)(5) \8\ of the Act. The
proposed rule change would accordingly foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities and will remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange further believes that the proposed change
would be consistent with Section 6(b)(1) \9\ of the Act because it
would provide increased clarity regarding the Exchange's ability to
enforce compliance with its rules by persons associated with a
Participant or Participant Firm, thereby reducing any potential
confusion with respect to the Exchange's interpretation or application
of its rules. As such, the proposed change would enable the Exchange to
be so organized as to have the capacity to be able to enforce
compliance by its exchange members and persons associated with its
exchange members with the provisions of the Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and the rules of the Exchange, consistent with
Section 6(b)(1) \10\ of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. The proposed rule change is
not intended to address competitive issues but rather is concerned
solely with adding clarity and transparency to the Exchange's rules and
providing greater harmonization with the rules of its affiliate NYSE
and the approved rules of FINRA and Nasdaq Exchanges.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ thereunder.
Because the 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 prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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 under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \13\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(EPA ICR No. 1730.10, OMB Control No. 2060-0363) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a
proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through
March 31, 2016. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register (80 FR 32116) on June 5, 2015, during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its
estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before April 18,
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2012-0502, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to: EPA

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, and (2) OMB via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for
EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick Yellin, Monitoring,
Assistance, and Media Programs Division, Office of Compliance, Mail

NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax
number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, EPA West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or
additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial
notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and maintain records
of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction
in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which
the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are also required
semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Hospital/medical/infectious waste
incinerators.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Ec).
    Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 5,670 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $972,000 (per year), includes $402,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an overall increase in burden in
this ICR from the most recently approved ICR. This is due to an
increase in the estimated number of sources subject to the regulation,
and is not caused by

program changes. We estimate the industry will continue to grow at the
rate of one new source per year. This results in increases in the
respondent labor hours, number of responses, and capital/O&M costs.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2013-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1310]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 8, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1310, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, 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 flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2014-0118; FRL 9907-76-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the state
of Iowa. These revisions will amend the SIP to include revisions to
Iowa air quality rule, Chapter 33, ``Special Regulations and
Construction Permit Requirements for Major Stationary Sources--
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality.'' This
rule amendment will make state regulation consistent with Federal
regulation for fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) PSD program.
This revision will also amend source obligation provisions as they
apply to recordkeeping and will provide a mechanism to allow industry
to request rescission of a PSD permit, both of which will match the
Federal regulations. This action is also consistent with the state's
request to not include, into the SIP, provisions relating to
Significant Impact Levels and Significant Monitoring Concentrations.
These provisions were vacated and remanded by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia on January 22, 2013.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
April 14, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2014-0118 by one of the following methods:
    1. http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
    2. Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    3. Mail: Amy Algoe-Eakin, Environmental Protection Agency, Air
Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Road, Lenexa, Kansas
66219.
    4. Hand Delivery or Courier: Deliver your comments to: Amy Algoe-
Eakin, Environmental Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development
Branch, 11201 Renner Road, Lenexa, Kansas 66219. Such deliveries are
only accepted during the Regional Office's normal hours of operations.
The Regional Office's official hours of business are Monday through
Friday, 8:00 to 4:30, excluding legal holidays.
    Please see the direct final rule which is located in the Rules
section of this Federal Register for detailed instructions on how to
submit comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Algoe-Eakin at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's revision to the SIP as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rules

based on this proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comments on part of this rule and if that part can be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: February 28, 2014.

Regional Administrator, Region 7.
