SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 17a-1, SEC File No. 270-244, OMB Control No. 3235-0208

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 17a-1 (17 CFR 240.17a-1)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act'') (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 17a-1 requires that every national securities exchange,
national securities association, registered clearing agency, and the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board keep on file for a period of not
less than five years, the first two years in an easily accessible
place, at least one copy of all

documents, including all correspondence, memoranda, papers, books,
notices, accounts, and other such records made or received by it in the
course of its business as such and in the conduct of its self-
regulatory activity, and that such documents be available for
examination by the Commission.
    There are 34 entities required to comply with the rule: 23 national
securities exchanges, 1 national securities association, 9 registered
clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The
Commission staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary
for compliance with the requirements of Rule 17a-1 is 52 hours per
year. In addition, 4 national securities exchanges notice-registered
pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(g)) are required to
preserve records of determinations made under Rule 3a55-1 under the Act
(17 CFR 240.3a55-1), which the Commission staff estimates will take 1
hour per exchange, for a total of 4 hours. Accordingly, the Commission
staff estimates that the total number of hours necessary to comply with
the requirements of Rule 17a-1 is 1,772 hours. The total internal cost
of compliance for all respondents is $124,040, based on an average cost
per hour of $70.
    Written comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Charles Riddle, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an
email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
    Dated: July 30, 2019.

[Docket No. OSHA-2006-0042]

Canadian Standards Association; Expansion of Recognition

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's final decision expanding the recognition of the
Canadian Standards Association as a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory under 29 CFR 1910.7.

DATES: The expansion of recognition becomes effective on October 25,
2010.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby
gives notice that it is expanding recognition of the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
CSA's expansion covers the use of additional test standards. OSHA's
current scope of recognition for CSA may be found in the following
informational Web page: http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csa.html.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization has met
the legal requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition, and is not a delegation or grant of government
authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products
approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product
testing and certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition, or for expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding and, in the second
notice, the Agency provides its final decision on the application.
These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html. Each NRTL's scope of recognition has three elements: (1)
The type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the testing and certification
activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope; and (3) the
supplemental program(s) that the NRTL may use, each of which allows the
NRTL to rely on other parties to perform activities necessary for
product testing and certification.
    CSA submitted an application, dated June 25, 2008, to expand its
recognition to include five additional test standards. The NRTL Program
staff determined that four of these standards (listed below) are
``appropriate test standards'' within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c).
In connection with this request, NRTL Program staff did not perform any
onsite review of CSA's recognized sites. The staff only performed a
comparability analysis,\1\ and recommended expansion of CSA's
recognition to include the additional four test standards listed below.
The Agency subsequently accepted this recommendation, and published a
preliminary notice announcing the expansion application in the Federal
Register on April 26, 2010 (75 FR 21666). Comments were requested by
May 11, 2010, but OSHA received no comments in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding

with this final notice to grant CSA's expansion application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This analysis involves determining whether the testing and
evaluation requirements of test standards already in an NRTL's scope
are comparable to the requirements in the standards requested by the
NRTL.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All public documents pertaining to the CSA application are
available for review by contacting the Docket Office, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N-2625, Washington, DC 20210. These
materials also are available online at http://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA-2006-0042.

Final Decision and Order

    NRTL Program staff examined CSA's application, the comparability
analysis, and other pertinent information. Based on this examination
and the analysis, OSHA finds that CSA meets the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject to the limitation and
conditions specified below. Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7,
OSHA hereby expands the recognition of CSA, subject to this limitation
and these conditions.

Limitation

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

UL 498A Current Taps and Adapters
UL 515 Electrical Resistance Heat Tracing for Commercial and Industrial
Applications
UL 1673 Electric Space Heating Cables
UL 1977 Component Connectors for Use in Data, Signal, Control and Power
Applications

The designations and titles of these test standards were current at the
time of the preparation of this notice.
    OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials (i.e., products) for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and certification before use in
the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any product
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include that product.
    The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as an American National Standard. However,
for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under
the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may
use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI
version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test
standard is currently ANSI-approved.

Conditions

    CSA also must abide by the following conditions of the recognition,
in addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7:
    1. CSA must allow access to its facilities and records to ascertain
continuing compliance with the terms of its recognition, and to perform
investigations as OSHA deems necessary;
    2. If CSA has reason to doubt the efficacy of any test standard it
is using under this program, it must promptly inform the test standard-
developing organization of this concern, and provide that organization
with appropriate relevant information upon which its concern is based;
    3. CSA must not engage in, or permit others to engage in, any
misrepresentation of the scope or conditions of its recognition. As
part of this condition, CSA agrees that it will allow no representation
that it is either a recognized or an accredited Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory (NRTL) without clearly indicating the specific
equipment or material to which this recognition applies and that its
recognition is limited to certain products;
    4. CSA must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
changes in its operations as an NRTL, including details of these
changes;
    5. CSA will meet all the terms of its recognition and will always
comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    6. CSA will continue to meet the requirements for recognition in
all areas to which this recognition applies.

Authority and Signature

    David Michaels, PhD, MPH, Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20210, directed the preparation of this notice.
Accordingly, the Agency is issuing this notice pursuant to Sections
6(b) and 8(g) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice: Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program
and Request for Review

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the Duluth
Airport Authority (DAA) for Duluth International Airport (DLH) under
the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act and FAA
regulations are in compliance with applicable requirements. The FAA
also announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility
program that was submitted for DLH in conjunction with the noise
exposure map, and that this program will be approved or disapproved on
or before October 8, 2022.

DATES: The FAA's determination on the noise exposure maps and of the
start of its review of the associated noise compatibility program is
effective April 11, 2022. The public comment period originally ended
June 10, 2022, but was reopened due to requested DAA amendments and
will run from August 1, 2022 to September 29, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh Fitzpatrick, 6020 South 28th
Avenue, Suite 102, Minneapolis, MN 55450, [email protected],
(612) 253-4639. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility program
should also be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted for DLH are in compliance with
applicable requirements of 14 CFR part 150, effective April 11, 2022.
Further, FAA is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for
that airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before October
8, 2022. This notice also announces the availability of this program
for public review and comment.
    Under 49 U.S.C., section 47503 (the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``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 Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) 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 DAA submitted to the FAA on December 13, 2021, noise exposure
maps, descriptions and other documentation that were produced during
the 2020-2021 DLH part 150 Noise Compatibility Program Update. It was
requested that the FAA review this material as the noise exposure maps,
as described in section 47503 of the Act, and that the noise mitigation
measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding
communities, be approved as a noise compatibility program under section
47504 of the Act.
    The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
related descriptions submitted by the DAA. The specific documentation
determined to constitute the noise exposure maps includes: Exhibit 3-1
(Existing (2020) Baseline Noise Exposure Contour) and Exhibit 4-1
(Future (2026) Noise Compatibility Program-Noise Exposure Map).
Chapters 3 and 4 of the DLH part 150 update describe the baseline noise
exposure maps and noise compatibility program in greater detail. The
FAA has determined that these maps for DLH are in compliance with
applicable requirements. This determination is effective on April 11,
2022. 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 FAR part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the applicant's data,
information or plans, or constitute 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 Sec.  150.21
of FAR part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been
accomplished.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
DLH, also effective on April 11, 2022. Preliminary review of the
submitted material indicates that it conforms to the

requirements for the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but
that further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval
of the program. Since initial notification of the NCP on April 11,
2022, DAA has decided to remove language from the NCP Measure M-D that
recommended offering avigation easements to single family owner
occupied homes within the block rounding area (NMPA #2). DAA has also
decided to withdraw NCP Measure M-F which recommended offering
avigation easements to single family owner occupied mobile homes within
the block rounding area (NMPA #2). The decision to modify and withdraw
these measures was based on FAA comments and the desire of the Airport
to only recommended and put forth measures that the Airport can commit
to implementing in the future, as funding becomes available. The formal
review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before October 8, 2022.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, Sec.  150.33. The primary considerations
in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce
the level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal
of reducing existing non-compatible land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional non-compatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program
with specific reference to these factors. All comments, other than
those properly addressed to local land use authorities, will be
considered by the FAA to the extent practicable. Copies of the noise
exposure maps, the FAA's evaluation of the maps, and the proposed noise
compatibility program can be viewed online at the DLH website at
https://duluthairport.com/noise-study/#documents. To review the
documents in person, please contact the Airport by phone at (218) 727-
2968 to set up a visit in their office at: Duluth Airport Authority,
Attn: Tom Werner 4701 Grinden Drive, Duluth, MN 55811.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
