SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Guidance on Reagents for Detection of Specific Novel Influenza A
Viruses--(OMB Control Number 0910-0584)--Extension

    In accordance with section 513 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360c), FDA evaluated an application
for an in vitro diagnostic device for detection of influenza subtype H5
(Asian lineage), commonly known as avian flu. FDA concluded that this
device is properly classified into class II in accordance with 21
U.S.C. 360c(a)(1)(B), because it is a device for which the general
controls by themselves are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance
of the safety and effectiveness of the device, but there is sufficient
information to establish special controls to provide such assurance.
The statute permits FDA to establish as special controls many different
things, including postmarket surveillance, development and
dissemination of guidance recommendations, and ``other appropriate
actions as the Secretary deems necessary'' (21 U.S.C. 360c(a)(1)(B)).
This information collection is a measure that FDA determined to be
necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness
of reagents for detection of specific novel influenza A viruses. FDA
issued an order classifying the H5 (Asian lineage) diagnostic device
into class II on February 3, 2006, establishing the special controls
necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and
effectiveness of that device and similar future devices. The new
classification will be codified in 21 CFR 866.3332, a regulation that
will describe the new classification for reagents for detection of
specific novel influenza A viruses and set forth the special controls
that help to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and
effectiveness of devices classified under that regulation. The
regulation will refer to the special controls guidance document
entitled ``Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Reagents for
Detection of Specific Novel Influenza A Viruses,'' which provides
recommendations for measures to help provide a reasonable assurance of
safety and effectiveness for these reagents. The guidance document
recommends that sponsors obtain and analyze postmarket data to ensure
the continued reliability of their device in detecting the specific
novel influenza A virus that it is intended to detect, particularly
given the propensity for influenza viruses to mutate and the potential
for changes in disease prevalence over time. As updated sequences for
novel influenza A viruses become available from the World Health
Organization, National Institutes of Health, and other public health
entities, sponsors of reagents for detection of specific novel
influenza A viruses will collect this information, compare them with
the primer/probe sequences in their devices, and incorporate the result
of these analyses into their quality management system, as required by
21 CFR 820.100(a)(1). These analyses will be evaluated against the
device design validation and risk analysis required by 21 CFR
820.30(g), to determine if any design changes may be necessary.
    FDA estimates that 10 respondents will be affected annually. Each
respondent will collect this information twice per year, estimated to
take 10 hours. This results in a total data collection burden of 200
hours (10 x 20 = 200). FDA estimates that cost of developing standard
operating procedures for each data collection is $500 (10 hours of work
at $50/hour). This results in a total cost to industry of $5,000 ($500
x 10 respondents). The guidance also refers to previously approved
information collections found in FDA regulations. The information
collections in 21 CFR part 820 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0073.
    In the Federal Register of October 13, 2009 (74 FR 52493), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. One comment was received, however it was not
PRA related.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    Due to a clerical error, capital costs and operating and
maintenance costs that appeared in a notice published in the Federal
Register of October 20, 2009 (74 FR 53749) were incorrect. There are
actually no capital and maintenance costs; additionally, the hours per
response which were reported as 10 are actually 15. Table 1 of this
document contains the correct hour burden.

BILLING CODE 4160-01-S


                             SUPPORTING STATEMENT

Title:  Brownfields Program  -  Accomplishment Reporting (OMB Control Number 2050-0192; EPA ICR No. 2104.09).

1.  Necessity of Collection

This is a request to renew an existing Information Collection Request (ICR).  This ICR covers the collection of information from those organizations that receive cooperative agreements and contract funding from EPA under the authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development (BUILD) Act (P.L. 115-141).  Subtitle A of CERCLA, as amended, authorizes EPA to award grants or cooperative agreements to states, tribes, local governments, and other eligible entities to support the assessment and cleanup of brownfields properties. Contract funds can be awarded for training, technical assistance, and research related to brownfields. Subtitle C authorizes a noncompetitive $50 million program to establish and enhance state and tribal response programs. The authority for these financial assistance programs is codified at CERCLA 104(k) and CERCLA 128(a) respectively.  Congress appropriates specific amounts of funding for both programs in EPA's State and Tribal Assistance Grant account.

With this ICR, EPA's Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization (OBLR) seeks authorization to collect information from contract and cooperative agreement recipients (recipients) using several standard forms that will streamline the data collection effort and improve the quality of information collected.  The information collected under this ICR supplements the minimum reporting and record keeping requirements that cooperative agreement recipients are subject to under 2 CFR Part 200 and 2 CFR Part 1500.  EPA estimates that all respondents who voluntarily respond to this information collection by electing to participate in the Brownfields program have determined that the expected benefits of participation outweigh any burden associated with preparing the response.

2.   How, By Whom, and For What Information is Collected

Under CERCLA 104(k) states, tribes, local governments, and other eligible entities may receive cooperative agreements to:

      (1)	inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning and community involvement related to brownfields sites;

      (2)	carry out cleanup activities at brownfields sites;

      (3)	capitalize revolving loan funds and provide subawards for cleanup activities; and

      (4)	support the research, technical assistance, and training including the creation and implementation of environmental job training and placement programs.

CERCLA 104(k) also authorizes contract funding to provide training, technical assistance, and research related to brownfields.

Under CERCLA 128(a) States and tribes may receive cooperative agreements to:

      (1) establish or enhance a response program that includes elements such as:

      a. Surveys and inventories of brownfield sites.

            b. Oversight and enforcement authorities including legislation, regulations, procedures, or guidance that would establish or enhance the legal structure of the program.

            c. Opportunities for public participation in the process of developing a public record for cleanup decisions and other site activities.

      d. Approval of cleanup plans and verifications that response actions are complete.

            e. Site-specific assessment and cleanup activities at brownfield sites.

      (2) capitalize a revolving loan fund for brownfields remediation under CERCLA 104(k)(3); and

      (3) purchase environmental insurance, develop a risk sharing or indemnity pool, or other insurance mechanisms for the response program.

Under CERCLA 101(39), a brownfields site means real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.  Brownfields sites may also include property contaminated with petroleum. For funding purposes, EPA uses the term "brownfields property(ies)" synonymously with the term "brownfields site(s)."

While the Agency collects basic cooperative agreement information as part of its federal stewardship responsibilities to manage and oversee recipient activities and expenditures under 2 CFR Part 200, OBLR needs additional information from recipients to be reported in a consistent manner to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and to report on program activities and accomplishments to Congress and other program stakeholders. Grantees and contractors are given access to the Assessment Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) to electronically enter form information for immediate submission to the Brownfields Program. OBLR has used and will continue to use the information collected from recipients to oversee the activities carried out using Brownfields' funds, to evaluate program implementation and effectiveness, and to meet the Agency's responsibilities under the Government Performance and Results Act to report on OBLR's accomplishments.  The information collection activities covered by this renewed ICR are intended to: (1) continue to improve the alignment of reporting requirements with programmatic performance measures; and (2) simplify and standardize reporting requirements to reduce uncertainty and burden imposed on recipients.  Without the information collection, OBLR would have limited access to information needed to effectively assess the relationship between those activities funded by EPA's Brownfields cooperative agreements and the intent of Congress with the passage of the Brownfields Amendments.

3. Electronic Submission

For ease, recipients enter the information into the Agency's ACRES Database. ACRES was developed to fulfill the requirements under the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (Public Law 105-277).  This electronic reporting process is integrated with EPA's Enterprise Architecture to further streamline the Agency's data management and reporting responsibilities.  EPA released the electronic reporting process in January 2007 and all Brownfields recipients starting from FY 2003 have been given access.  EPA has modified its reporting guidance and provides training on the electronic reporting process.  The database is consistently updated, with the latest interface overhaul occurring in 2022. EPA has achieved positive returns in user acceptance of the electronic reporting process since its release and the electronic reporting process reduces the burden placed on recipients.

4. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

There is no other known source for the information that EPA seeks under this ICR.  Moreover, this ICR supplements, and does not duplicate, the information that EPA collects as part of its reporting and record keeping provisions under the Agency's general assistance regulations at UGG 2 CFR Part 200 which became effective December 26, 2014.  Exhibit 1 identifies the tasks and burdens of recipients that are covered under other OMB-approved ICRs.  This ICR addresses the burden imposed on recipients and EPA associated with the reporting requirements that are unique to cooperative agreements awarded by EPA under authority of CERCLA 104k and CERCLA 128(a).

5. Impact on Small Businesses

This information collection request is expected to affect small governmental jurisdictions, which are defined as governments of cities, counties, towns, townships, villages, school districts, or special districts with populations of less than 50,000.  This definition may also include Indian Tribes, in keeping with the President's Federal Indian Policy.  EPA has considered whether to establish different reporting requirements for small entities and has determined that: (1) different reporting requirements among recipients will result in inconsistent data that may lessen the Agency's ability to oversee and report on program activities and accomplishments; (2) the burden imposed by this information collection is relatively small and small entities should not be unduly burdened by the reporting requirement; and (3) the Brownfields program is voluntary and respondents who elect to participate in this program have determined that the expected benefits of participation outweigh any burden associated with preparing the response.

6. Consequences of Non-Collection or Less Frequent Collection

The information collection schedule is consistent with the Agency's reporting schedule for general assistance agreements.  Less frequent collection may not enable EPA to oversee and manage Brownfields cooperative agreements effectively and would lessen OBLR's ability to report up-to-date and accurate information on program activities and accomplishments.  In consideration of the burden imposed on recipients, EPA has adopted less frequent reporting for the Property Profile Form in which recipients are required to update and submit the form as notable activities or changes occur at a particular property.  EPA anticipates that recipients of CERCLA 104(k) assessment, cleanup, revolving loan fund, and multipurpose cooperative agreements will submit an updated Property Profile Form to EPA at least twice but not more than four times over the life of the cooperative agreement.  For CERCLA 128(a) state and tribal response program cooperative agreements, EPA anticipates that recipients will submit a Property Profile Form to EPA twice a year in line with the bi-annual reporting guidelines. 128(a) recipients will also submit the PALs form once a year in line with their end-of-year reporting. For Job Training Recipients, EPA anticipates recipients will submit the form no more than twice annually. EPA anticipates technical assistance grantees and contractors will submit forms quarterly, in line with their terms and conditions.

7. Special Reporting Requirements

The information collection is consistent with the guidelines set forth in 5 CFR 1320.6 of the Paperwork Reduction Act Guidelines. There are no known special circumstances that would require reporting on an alternative timeline or methodology.

8. 60-Day FR Notice and Efforts to Consult with Grantees

60-Day FR Notice: Published March 25, 2022. No comments were received. The was the first notification of the Agency's request for the renewal of this ICR.

Consultations: EPA has more than 25 years of experience managing Brownfields cooperative agreement programs that awarded more than 6,000 cooperative agreements to state, local, and tribal governments to address brownfields properties.  For these Brownfields cooperative agreements, EPA staff has worked closely with the recipients to help them participate in the program and address their brownfields properties.  As such, EPA has a detailed understanding of the activities that recipients undertake and the burden they incur for voluntarily participating in EPA's cooperative agreement programs.  In addition, during the preparation of the initial ICR in 2003 and the reporting forms that are included, EPA contacted eight Brownfields recipients to ask them specific questions about the burden associated with completing the draft forms included in this ICR.  Recipient responses form the basis of EPA's initial calculations of the burden hours and costs.

Since the initial ICR, there have been several revisions to help improve the original Property Profile and Job Training Reporting Forms to ensure they are as efficient as possible for cooperative agreement recipients. For the first renewal in 2006, the ICR was expanded to include reporting from CERCLA 128(a) recipients. To do so, EPA consulted with several State and Tribal representatives when working on modifications to the Property Profile Form. For the second renewal in 2009, EPA added additional fields to the Property Profile Form. EPA contacted eight Brownfields recipients to ask them specific questions about the burden associated with completing the draft new fields for the Property Profile Form included in the renewal.  In 2012, EPA made no changes to the Property Profile Form and Job Training Reporting Form.  In 2015, EPA made changes to streamline some questions on the Property Profile Form, including making it easier to identify the correct geographical location of a property, and avoid duplicate property records in ACRES. Additionally, EPA created a new form for the Area-Wide Planning recipients to make it easier for them to report their accomplishments to EPA.

For the 2019 renewal of the ICR, EPA shortened the Property Profile Form, eliminating questions that were not resulting in regular responses from recipients, while also clarifying past questions that caused confusion.  EPA also added the Program Activity Levels (PALs) Form, a new form for CERCLA 128(a) recipients to update annually.  This will allow a much more streamlined approach for 128(a) recipients than the current technique for gathering the needed information.  No changes were made to the Job Training Reporting Form and Area-Wide Planning Reporting Form. For the 2020 renewal, no changes were made.

For the current renewal, questions were added to the Property Profile Form to capture site-specific activities addressing climate change.  The Form also added a census tract question to track work being done in disadvantaged communities.  Questions specific to revolving loan fund recipients were clarified to better track program income and post-closeout status. Nine different cooperative agreement recipients were contacted to discuss the clarity, format and increased burden estimate from the additional questions.  The PALs form was updated to clarify questions, as this is the first full ICR update since its initial implementation in 2019. Four current grantees were contacted regarding the PALs changes. The Job Training Form added a question to clarify the number of training cycles offered by grantees; four current grantees were consulted on this change. As a result of increased funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, two additional reporting forms are being submitted in this ICR package to capture work done by technical assistance grantees and contractors.  Technical assistance activities have not previously been captured in ACRES. The addition of these reporting forms will help the Brownfields Program demonstrate its impact through activities that are not site-specific. Five different grantees and contractors collaborated on the creation of these forms to ensure they accurately capture the outputs and outcomes of such projects.

9. Payment or Gift to Respondents

No payment or gift is given to respondents.

10. Assurance of Confidentiality

No confidentiality is provided, and no sensitive information is collected under this ICR.

11. Questions of Sensitive Nature

Sensitive questions are not associated with the information collection activities performed under Public Law 107-118.

12. Hour Burden

Total Hour Burden Estimate: 3,808

Methodology:
Estimating respondent burden - A "unit" burden is the burden incurred by a respondent for performing a specific activity that is not covered by another ICR (such as 2 CFR Part 200).  The estimated burden is incurred by the following activities:

 	Initial completion of the Brownfields Property Profile Form
 Periodic updating of the Brownfields Property Profile Form (PALs) to report progress on specific properties undergoing assessment, cleanup, or redevelopment
 Completion of the Job Training Reporting Form
 Completion of the Program Activity Levels form
 Initial completion of the Technical Assistance to Brownfields Form (TA) Form
 Periodic updates of the TA Form to report progress on cooperative agreement deliverables
 Initial completion of the Grantee Reported Technical Assistance to Brownfields (TAB) Form
 Periodic updates to the TAB form to report progress on cooperative agreement deliverables
 Completion of RLF Program Income Form

The estimated burden for respondents is presented in Exhibit 2.

If any burdens were found to be imposed in the ICR by a rule that supersedes CERCLA, as amended, those burdens, or a percentage of those burdens, were removed from the overall burden calculation in this ICR (see Exhibit 1).

Estimating respondent costs - To estimate the unit burden (hours) and hourly rate for this information collection activity, EPA relied on its extensive experience working closely with Brownfields recipients, as well as in-depth interviews with nine current or former cooperative agreement recipients submitting the Property Profile Form, four job training recipients submitting the Job Training Form, four 128(a) recipients submitting the PALs form, five CERCLA 104(k) technical assistance recipients submitting the TA and/or TAB form, and four revolving loan fund recipients completing the RLF Program Income Form. Those interviewed were shown draft copies of all forms and accompanying instructions and guidance that would be used for reporting and asked to estimate: (1) the number of hours that would be required to perform each task; and (2) the labor mix required to perform each task (e.g., percentage of management, technical, clerical).  The data gathered from these interviews were then analyzed to estimate the unit burden and labor mix. For all form types, the unit labor cost (dollars) for this burden estimate is a weighted hourly rate based upon the estimated labor mix and wage rates gathered from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

On the Property Profile Form, consultations indicate that the average recipient will incur 34 percent of its burden with executive/managerial staff labor, 50 percent with professional specialty staff labor, and 17 percent with program participants and partners.  This labor mix was applied to BLS, National Compensation Survey (NCS) data issued in Dec 2021 for a weighted hourly rate of $60.11 and an estimated fully loaded rate of $ $126.24.

On the Job Training Reporting Form, consultations indicate that the average recipient will incur 50 percent of its burden with executive/managerial staff labor, 22 percent with professional specialty staff labor, 22 percent with finance labor, or clerical labor, and 6 percent with program participants and partners.  This labor mix was applied to BLS, National Compensation Survey (NCS) data issued in Dec 2021 for a weighted hourly rate of $61.45 and an estimated fully loaded rate of $129.04.

On the Program Activity Level Form, consultations indicate that the average recipient will incur 84 percent of its burden with executive/managerial staff labor, and 17 percent with program participants and partners. This labor mix was applied to BLS, National Compensation Survey (NCS) data issued in Dec 2021 for a weighted hourly rate of $61.62 and an estimated fully loaded rate of $129.39.

On the Technical Assistance to Brownfields Form, consultations indicate that the average recipient will incur 42 percent of its burden with the executive/managerial staff labor, 50 precent with technical labor, 8 percent with administrative support or clerical labor. The labor mix was applied to the BLS, National Compensation Survey (NCS) data issued in Dec 2021 for a weighted hourly rate of $57.39 and an estimated loaded rate of $120.52.

On the Grantee Reported Technical Assistance to Brownfields Form, consultants indicate the average recipient will incur 64 percent of its burden with executive/managerial staff labor, 24 percent with technical labor, and 13 percent with administrative or clerical labor, The labor mix was applied to the BLA, National Compensation Survey (NCS) data issued in Dec 2021 for a weighted hourly rate of $56.90 and an estimated fully loaded rate of $119.48.

On the RLF Program Income Form, consultations indicate that the average recipient will incur 33 percent of its burden with executive/managerial staff labor, 33 percent with professional specialty staff labor, and 33 percent with finance labor.  This labor mix was applied to BLS, National Compensation Survey (NCS) data issued in Dec 2021 for a weighted hourly rate of $60.11 and an estimated fully loaded rate of $126.24.

CERCLA 104(k) assessment, cleanup, revolving loan fund and multipurpose recipients, and CERCLA 128(a) recipients that conduct property specific activities will be required to report progress with the "Brownfields Property Profile Form."  EPA anticipates that the initial completion of this form will require approximately .5 hours for a unit burden of $63.12. Recipients will be required to update this form as milestones are achieved, though not more frequently than quarterly.  It is estimated that each update will require approximately 0.5 hours for a unit burden of $63.12. It is estimated that each form will be updated an average of twice per year. Revolving loan fund recipients also report on the RLF Program Income Form annually. It is estimated this annual update will require 0.75 hours for a unit burden of $ $94.68.

Job Training recipients will be required to report progress on a quarterly basis using EPA's "Job Training Reporting Form."  Recipients will be required to report progress on a quarterly basis, with each update requiring approximately 3 hours for a unit burden of $ $387.13. Most of this burden stems from the activities associated with the collection of salary or wage information from Environmental Workforce Development Job Training program participants who find employment.

CERCLA 128(a) recipients will be required to report progress on an annual basis using EPA's "Program Activity Levels" form.   Recipients will be required to report progress on an annual basis, with each update requiring approximately 2 hours for a unit burden of $ $258.79. Most of this burden stems from the activities associated with the collection of the overall activities conducted by the response program to establish or enhance their program, and the number of sites that are currently enrolled in their response program, or otherwise supported by their response program.

CERCLA 104(k) technical assistance recipients will be required to report progress with the appropriate TA or TAB Form.  EPA anticipates that the initial completion of the TA form will require approximately 1.33 hours for a unit burden of $ $160.29.  It is estimated that each update will require approximately 0.66 hours for a unit burden of $ $79.54. EPA anticipates that the initial completion of the TAB form will require approximately 3.66 hours. For a unit burden of $437.30. It is estimated that each update will require approximately 2.6 hours for a unit burden of $310.65. Recipients will be required to update this form as milestones are achieved, though not more frequently than quarterly.

Assessment, cleanup, multipurpose and job training cooperative agreements awarded under CERCLA 104(k) cover a period of performance of up to three years, and revolving loan fund cooperative agreements cover a period of performance up to five years. Based on the Agency's experience under its program, EPA estimates that at the end of two years, approximately 75 percent of cooperative agreements will receive a no-cost extension, approximately 20 percent of recipients will receive supplemental awards, and 5 percent of cooperative agreements will close out.  Recipients that receive either a no-cost extension or a supplemental award will be required to continue to report on their activities using the forms authorized under this ICR. In addition, cooperative agreements that have closed out may undergo a five-year review conducted five years after close out. The five-year review gathers data on the status of properties that benefited from EPA funding while the cooperative agreement was active using the forms authorized under this ICR.  This burden is included in the estimated number of responses per year and, therefore, the overall burden calculation estimated for this ICR.

All awards made under CERCLA 128(a) have at least a one-year period of performance or can be a multi-year award depending on the State's financial need for continued funding. Based on the Agency's understanding of State response programs, EPA estimates that one-half of the State recipients have sophisticated response programs and can complete property specific activities within one year, therefore submitting a total of two responses. EPA further estimates that the remaining State, tribal, and US territories that receive funding take two years to complete property specific activities therefore submitting a total of four responses.

All technical assistance cooperative agreements awarded under CERCLA 104(k) cover a period of performance of up to five years. Rarely are these cooperative agreements extended, and all required reporting will be completed within the initial award period.  Technical assistance contracts awarded under CERCLA 104(k) are also rarely extended. The burden estimated by the number of responses per year is based on forms anticipated to be submitted over the original timeframe of the associated cooperative agreement or contract.

* Unit Labor Cost in Dollars reflects a "loaded" rate for benefits and overhead.
** Figures may not sum due to rounding.

The burden imposed upon EPA was estimated by:  (1) interviewing EPA Regional and Headquarters staff to gather individual estimates of the time required to perform each activity and the GS level of the staff performing those tasks; (2) averaging the time data to estimate the number of hours required for each burden element; (3) averaging the data on the percentage of time performed by particular staff GS levels; (4) developing a weighted hourly rate based upon percentage of staff labor at different GS levels devoted to each task; and (5) determining the product of the weighted hourly rate and the number of hours required per activity.

The weighted hourly rate utilized in the Federal burden estimate is based upon the following composite:

                                   GS Level

15. Reasons for Program Changes or Adjustments on Burden Worksheet

 The burden hours estimate decreased from 6,143 hours in the 2020 ICR request to 3,808 hours, a difference of minus 2,335 hours.  This large change can be attributed to tremendous improvements in the ACRES database to streamline reporting requirements.  Additional ACRES training and outreach efforts have also greatly increased grantees familiarity with the database. Grantees have reported that ACRES is now more intuitive, and the layout is significantly easier to follow. Grantees interviewed for this burden estimate self-reported data entry times at half the burden hours compared to estimates gathered 2 years ago. These combined factors result in the significant burden reduction.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Intent To Rule on a Land Release Request at North
Central West Virginia Airport (CKB), Clarksburg, WV

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the
application for a land release of 4.09 acres of federally obligated
airport property at North Central West Virginia Airport (CKB),
Clarksburg, WV, from the conditions, reservations and restrictions
contained in Airport Improvement Program grants that restrict the use
of said land to aeronautical purposes. This acreage was originally
purchased with federal financial assistance through the Airport
Improvement Program. The release will allow the airport to generate
revenue through the lease of a logistics and storage park that is
proposed for construction. The proposed use of land after the release
will not interfere with the airport or its operation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 31, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on this application may be
mailed or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Matthew
DiGiulian, Manager, Beckley Airports Field Office,

176 Airport Circle, Room 101, Beaver, WV 25813,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must be
mailed or delivered to Mr. Rick Rock, Airport Director, North Central
West Virginia Regional Airport, 2000 Aviation Way, Bridgeport, West
Virginia 26330,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    This land release request may be reviewed in person at the Beckley
Airports Field Office located at 176 Airport Circle, Room 101, Beaver,
WV 25813. Please contact Connie Boley-Lilly, Airports Program
Specialist, Beckley Airports Field Office, location listed above. (304)
252-6216 ext. 125 for more information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by grant
agreement. The following is a brief overview of the request: The
Benedum Airport Authority has submitted a land release request seeking
FAA approval for the release of approximately 4.09 acres of federally
obligated airport property for non-aeronautical use. The purpose of the
release is to enable the airport to earn revenue from airport property
that does not have an aeronautical use by allowing it to be used for
non-aeronautical purposes. The airport will retain ownership of the
property and lease it out. The property will be turned into a logistics
and storage park that will house up to 4 buildings, parking, and an
entrance road off of Route 50. The airport has received a United States
Economic Development Authority (USEDA) grant to construct the logistics
and storage facilities. The total project cost is $2,124,000 with the
USEDA contributing $1,704,000 and a local match of $420,000.
    The 4.09 acres of land to be released from aeronautical use, was
originally purchased with federal financial assistance through the AIP
program under Grant Agreement 3-54-0005-16-1996 as part of a larger
purchase totaling approximately 120 acres. The purchase of the entire
120 acres was performed to accommodate a proposed runway extension. The
subject area to be released is located off the south east corner of the
runway and is well below the elevation of the movement area of the
airport. It is also completely segregated from the terminal area and
the facilities that serve airport users, such as Terminal Parking and
Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services. Therefore, the elevation difference
and location of the property make if unusable for aeronautical
purposes. Furthermore, the property is not located within the RPZ, will
not result in any obstructions to part 77 surfaces, and has not been
identified as needed for current or future airport development in the
current Airport Master Plan or ALP. The rental income will be devoted
to airport operations and capital projects. The proposed use of the
property will not interfere with the airport or its operation; and will
thereby, serve the interests of civil aviation.

    Issued in Beaver, West Virginia.
Matthew DiGiulian,
Manager, Beckley Airports Field Office.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54802; File No. SR-Phlx-2006-72]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to New Hours of Business on the Exchange's Foreign Currency
Options Floor

November 21, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on November 8, 2006, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Phlx'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Phlx, pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-
4 thereunder,\4\ proposes to modify its hours of business for dealings
on the Exchange to change the opening of foreign currency options
(``FCOs'') trading from 2:30 a.m. Eastern Time (``ET'') to 7:30 a.m.
ET. The change would become effective on December 1, 2006. The text of
the proposed rule change is available on the Phlx's Web site (http://www.phlx.com
), at the Phlx's principal office, 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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for,

the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposal. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. The Phlx has prepared summaries, set forth
in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to make the Exchange's
FCO floor more cost effective by reducing the duration of the foreign
currency option trading session. Currently, Phlx Rule 101, Hours of
Business, states that FCO trading sessions shall be conducted at such
times as the Exchange's Board of Governors (``Board'') shall specify
between 6 p.m., Sundays and 3 p.m., Fridays. Accordingly, the Board
adopted the current hours for FCO trading sessions, opening at 2:30
a.m. ET and closing at 2:30 p.m. ET.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In 1993, the Exchange filed a proposed rule change to amend
Phlx Rule 101 to provide that all FCO trading, except FCOs on the
Canadian dollar, will be conducted between 1:30 a.m. ET and 2:30
p.m. ET each business day. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
33246 (November 24, 1993), 58 FR 63421 (December 1, 1993) (SR-Phlx-
93-42). Subsequently, the trading hours were modified to move the
opening of FCO trading from 1:30 a.m. ET to 2:30 a.m. ET for all
Exchange-listed FCOs except the Canadian dollar. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 34898 (October 26, 1994), 59 FR 54651
(November 1, 1994) (File No. SR-Phlx-94-47). In May 2004, the
Exchange expanded the trading hours for options on the Canadian
dollar to conform to the trading hours for all other FCOs on the
Exchange. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 49690 (May 12,
2004), 69 FR 28972 (May 19, 2004) (SR-Phlx-2004-24). Thus, all
Exchange-listed FCOs currently trade on the Exchange from 2:30 a.m.
ET until 2:30 p.m. ET.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to adopt a reduced time period for foreign
currency option trading sessions by specifying that, beginning December
1, 2006, foreign currency option trading sessions would open at 7:30
a.m. ET and close at 2:30 p.m. ET. The Exchange represents that a
significant majority of trades in foreign currency options occur during
this time period, and thus the Exchange believes that it would be more
cost effective to reduce the duration of the trading session with
little or no impact on volume in FCOs.
    In connection with the proposed rule change adopting Phlx Rule 101,
the Exchange committed to make future filings under section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act,\6\ any time it expands or changes FCO trading hours in
connection with Phlx Rule 101.\7\ The Exchange intends to notify its
membership of the change in trading hours for FCOs by issuing a
circular to members. The new trading hours for FCOs would be in effect
beginning December 1, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 26087 (September 16,
1988), 53 FR 36930 (September 22, 1988) (File No. SR-Phlx-88-25).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \8\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ in particular, because it
is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change has been designated as a
practice with respect to the administration of an existing rule, it has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \10\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(1) thereunder.\11\ At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily
abrogate 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
