SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Report of Transmission Investment Activity.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0239.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-730 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: Pursuant to Section 219 \1\ of the Federal Power Act, the
Commission issued FERC Order No. 679,\2\ Promoting Transmission
Investment Through Pricing Reform. Order No. 679 FERC amended its
regulations in 18 CFR 35.35 to establish incentive-based (including
performance-based) rate treatments for the transmission of electric
energy in interstate commerce by public utilities. The Commission
intended the order to benefit consumers by ensuring reliability and to
reduce the cost of delivered power by reducing transmission congestion.
Order No. 679 also adopted an annual reporting requirement (FERC-730)
for utilities that receive incentive rate treatment for specific
transmission projects. The FERC-730 provides annual data on
transmission capital expenditures as well as project status detail. The
Commission requires that filers specify which projects are currently
receiving incentives in the project detail table and that they group
together those facilities receiving the same incentive. Specifically,
in accordance with the statute, public utilities with incentive rates
must file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58, 119 Stat. 594,
315 and 1283 (2005).
    \2\ RM06-4-000 (issued 7/20/2006), published: 71 FR 43294.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Actual transmission investment for the most recent
calendar year, and projected, incremental investments for the next five
calendar years (in dollar terms); and
     A project by project listing that specifies for each
project the most up to date, expected completion date, percentage
completion as of the date of filing, and reasons for delays for all
current and projected investments over the next five calendar years.
Projects with projected costs less than $20 million are excluded from
this listing.
    To ensure that Commission rules are successfully meeting the
objectives of Section 219, the Commission collects industry data,
projections and related information that detail the level of
investment. FERC-730 information regarding projected investments as
well as information about completed projects allows the Commission to
monitor the success of the transmission pricing reforms and to
determine the status of critical projects and reasons for delay.
    Type of Respondents: Public utilities that have been granted
incentive based rate treatment for specific transmission projects under
the provisions of 18 CFR 35.35(h) must file the FERC-730.
    Estimate of Annual Burden \3\: The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal
agency. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

2012.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this withdrawn rulemaking is available for
inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M-30), U.S.

Operations, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2012, we published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Bear Creek, Dundalk, MD''
in the Federal Register (77 FR 5201). The rulemaking concerned would
alter the current four hour advance notice requirement for a bridge
opening, found in 33 CFR 117.543(b), to a 48-hour advance notice.
    Baltimore County requested to reduce the necessity for bridge
openings based on bridge logs provided over a two year period. However,
prior to the publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking the
bridge owner displayed on the Wise Avenue Bridge signage that stated a
48-hour advance notice was required to open the draw bridge. This
signage portrayed improper operational information since the current
operation regulation had not changed. The Coast Guard determined the
signage that stated a 48-hour advance notice was required for a bridge
opening was misleading to the public and navigational users.

Withdrawal

    Baltimore County, responsible for the operation of the Wise Avenue
Bridge, had requested advance notification of vessel openings.
Following publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking, the Coast
Guard received two comments opposing changes to the regulation. Both
comments felt the 48-hour advance notice was unnecessary and too
burdensome to the waterway users. One of the comments stated signage
had been placed on the bridge providing information misleading to the
public. Baltimore County admitted establishing signage on the bridge
prior to the publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking citing
the bridge would open with a 48-hour notice prior to approval from the
regulatory process. The second comment stated that a 24-hour advance
notice would be better than the proposed 48 hours. Due to the bridge
owner displaying misleading and inaccurate signage during a public
comment period and prior to any change in the bridge opening
regulations, the Coast Guard is withdrawing the proposed rule. The
owner may, however, request a new notice of proposed rulemaking for a
future period in which the inaccurate signage is not posted.

Authority

    We issue this notice of withdrawal under the authority of 33 U.S.C.
499; 33 CFR 1.05-1; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1.

    Dated: December 4, 2012.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34- 82196; File No. SR-CBOE-2017-064]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change Creating an Electronic-Only Order Type

December 1, 2017.

I. Introduction

    On September 29, 2017, the Cboe Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or
``Cboe Options'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to create an electronic-only order type. The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on October 18, 2017.\3\ The Commission did not receive any comment
letters on the proposed rule change. This order approves the proposed
rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81862 (Oct. 12,
2017), 82 FR 48550 (Oct. 18. 2017) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to create an electronic-only order type.
Currently, orders that Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'') submit to the
Exchange will execute electronically and/or be handled manually on the
Exchange floor.\4\ Under certain conditions specified in the Exchange's
rules, certain orders and remaining portions of orders that do not
execute electronically are routed to a specified Public Automated
Routing (``PAR'') workstation or an Order Management Terminal (``OMT'')
on the floor of the Exchange for manual handling.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See id. at 48550.
    \5\ See id. at 48550 and Cboe Options Rules 6.12(a) and 6.12A.
According to Cboe Options Rule 6.12A, once an order has been routed
to a PAR, the PAR user may, among other options, submit the order
for electronic processing, execute the order in open outcry, route
the order to an OMT designated by the TPH, or route the order to an
away exchange. See Notice, supra note 3, at 48550.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to introduce a new electronic-only order type
to allow TPHs to submit orders that will not be subject to any manual
handling. Specifically, electronic-only orders will only: (i) Auto-
execute, (ii) route to an electronic auction, or (iii) route to the
electronic book, and in all cases will cancel back to the TPH that
entered the order if Exchange rules would otherwise require the order
to be routed to the Exchange floor for manual handling.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Notice, supra note 3, at 48550.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act \7\ and the rules
and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\8\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market

system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \8\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed rule change is designed
to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and national market system by providing TPHs with a more
efficient means to submit to the Exchange instructions to prevent an
order from routing to a PAR or OMT on the floor of the Exchange.
Currently, a TPH that seeks to avoid manual handling of a specific
order and obtain a solely electronic execution must inform its OMT
operator or PAR broker of this instruction. The Exchange's new
electronic-only order type will avoid the need for a TPH to take this
additional step and will allow the TPH to submit such order
instructions directly to the Exchange when it submits its order.\10\
The Commission notes that Cboe Options represents that the new
electronic-only order type will not materially change how orders are
handled or processed on the Exchange, but rather will streamline how
TPHs can indicate their instructions that a particular order avoid
manual handling on the Exchange's floor.\11\ For the reasons noted
above, the Commission believes that the proposal to create an
electronic-only order type is consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 48551.
    \11\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\12\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2017-064) be, and
hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\13\

Executive Summary

™, Version 2.03), which uses food consumption data from the USDA’s Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) from 1994-1996 and 1998.  The analyses were performed to support a petition (PP#0E7788) for the establishment of tolerances for the combined residues of tepraloxydim and its metabolites convertible to GP (3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid) and OH-GP (3-hydroxy-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid), calculated as tepraloxydim in or on imported dry bean and sunflower subgroup 20B.

The latest acute and chronic dietary risk assessments was conducted on dry pea, flax and lentil (DP# 338371, N. Dodd, 7/17/07).  The only change made to the last assessment is the addition of dry bean and sunflower subgroup 20B.  The conservative acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments incorporated the same input parameters used in the previous assessment including toxicological endpoints and estimated drinking water concentrations.  As in the previous assessment, the current assessment used residue values at the recommended and established tolerance levels and assumed that 100 percent of the crops were treated.  Residues of the proposed food commodities were based on field trial data on dry bean and sunflower.  There are no processed commodities for dry beans.  Processing factors for the sunflower processed commodities (meal and refined oil) were set to 1 based on the studies demonstrating that residues did not concentrate in the sunflower processed fractions.

Acute Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Results and Characterization

The acute dietary exposure was estimated for females 13-49 years old separately from the  general U.S. population since this population subgroup has a different toxicological endpoint The acute surface water Estimated Environmental Concentration (EEC) for tepraloxydim is 1.4 ppb.  Based on the assumptions described above, the acute dietary exposure of females 13-49 years old as well as the general U.S. population and population subgroups are well below HED’s level of concern at the 95th percentile of exposure.   Combined dietary exposure from food and drinking water for female 13-49 years old at the 95th percentile of exposure is estimated to be 0.001844 mg/kg/day, equivalent to <1% (0.46%) of the acute Population Adjusted Dose (aPAD),  for the general U.S. population, the exposure is estimated to be 0.003713 mg/kg/day, equivalent to <1% (0.74%) of the aPAD, and children 1-2 years old the exposure is estimated to be 0.010897 mg/kg/day, equivalent to 2.2% of the aPAD, the most highly exposed subgroup.

Chronic Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Results and Characterization

The chronic dietary exposure and risk estimates are conservative since they assume that 100% of crops are treated and that the residues are present at tolerance level.  The chronic surface water EEC for tepraloxydim is 0.7 ppb.   The water residues were incorporated directly into the DEEM-FCID into the food categories “water, direct, all sources” and “water, indirect, all sources.”  Combined chronic dietary exposure estimates for food and drinking water are well

below HED’s level of concern.  Using the DEEM-FCID software, dietary exposure is estimated at 0.001213 mg/kg/day for the general U.S. population equivalent to 2.4% of the chronic

Population Adjusted Dose (cPAD) and 0.004825 mg/kg/day equivalent to 9.6% of the cPAD for children 1-2 years old, the population subgroup with the highest estimated chronic dietary exposure to tepraloxydim.

Cancer Exposure Results and Characterization

The cancer classification of tepraloxydim was summarized previously from the CARC report dated 2/26/01, HED Doc. No. 014485, Ghazi Dannan, 2/26/01 (DP# 338371, N. Dodd, 7/17/07).  The HED’s Hazard Identification Assessment Review Committee (HIARC) reevaluated the original cancer classification of tepraloxydim as “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans” and placed it into the category “Data are inadequate for an assessment of human carcinogenic potential” because although some evidence is suggestive of carcinogenic effects, other equally pertinent evidence does not confirm a concern.

I.	Introduction

Dietary risk assessment incorporates both exposure and toxicity of a given pesticide.  For acute and chronic assessments, the risk is expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose (i.e., the dose which HED has concluded will result in no unreasonable adverse health effects).  This dose is referred to as the population adjusted dose (PAD).  The PAD is equivalent to point of departure (POD, NOAEL, LOAEL, e.g.) divided by the required uncertainty or safety factors.

For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  HED is generally concerned when estimated cancer risk exceeds one in one million.  References which discuss the acute and chronic risk assessments in more detail are available on the EPA/pesticides web site:  “Available Information on Assessing Exposure from Pesticides, A User’s Guide,” 6/21/2000, web link:      HYPERLINK "http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf"  http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf ; or see SOP 99.6 (8/20/99).

The most recent dietary risk assessment for tepraloxydim was conducted on 17-July-2007 (Memo, N. Dodd; DP# 338371).

II.	Residue Information

Residues of Concern:  The qualitative nature of the residues of tepraloxydim in legume and oil seed is adequately understood based on the available studies in soybean and canola.  HED’s Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC) concluded that tepraloxydim and the metabolites containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one moiety are the residues of concern for canola and soybean.  HED has determined that the tolerance expression includes the combined residues of tepraloxydim and its metabolites convertible to GP (3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid) and OH-GP (3-hydroxy-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid), calculated as tepraloxydim and concluded that no additional plant metabolism data are required for new uses on legume and oil seed plants.

Established Tolerances: Tolerances have been established for plant commodities under 40 CFR §180.573 (a)(1) for residues of tepraloxydim and its metabolites convertible to GP (3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid) and OH-GP (3-hydroxy-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid), calculated as tepraloxydim, at 0.2 ppm for cotton, undelinted seed; 3.0 ppm for cotton, gin byproducts; 0.10 ppm for flax, seed; lentil, seed; and pea, dry, seed; 1200.0 ppm for aspirated grain fraction, 6.0 ppm for soybean, seed and 8.0 ppm for soybean, hulls.   Tolerances have been established for livestock commodities under §180.573(a)(2) for the combined residues of tepraloxydim and its metabolites convertible to GP, OH-GP, and GL (3-(2-oxotetrahydropyran-4-yl)-1,5-dioic acid), calculated as tepraloxydim, at 0.15 – 0.50 ppm for fat, kidney, meat, and meat by-products (except kidney) of cattle, goat, hog, horse, and sheep; 0.20 – 0.30 ppm for poultry fat, meat and meat products (except liver); 1.00 ppm for poultry liver; 0.20 ppm for eggs, and 0.10 ppm for milk.   A tolerance with regional registration has been  established under§180.573(c) for the combined residues of tepraloxydim and its metabolites convertible to GP and OH-GP, calculated as tepraloxydim, for canola, seed at 0.50 ppm.

Recommended Tolerances:  BASF Corporation, on behalf of Nippon Soda Company, submitted a petition (PP#0E7788) proposing the establishment of tolerances for the combined residues of tepraloxydim (2-[1-[[[(2E)-3-chloro-2-propenyl]oxy]imino]propyl]-3-hydroxy-5-(tetrahy dro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-cyclohexene-1-one] and its metabolites convertible to GP (3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid) and OH-GP (3-hydroxy-3-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)pentane-1,5-dioic acid) in or on pea and bean, dried, shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C at 0.10 ppm and sunflower subgroup 20B at 0.25 ppm.  HED has concluded that the new data supplied for dry beans are sufficient to support the establishment of a subgroup 6C tolerance and the proposed tolerance for sunflower subgroup 20B should be changed to 0.20 ppm to harmonize with the MRL for sunflower in Canada.  The proposed tolerances and HED’s recommendations based on review of field trial data are summarized in Table 1.

 Table 1. Tolerance Summary for Tepraloxydim.

Commodity	Proposed Tolerance (ppm)	Recommended Tolerance (ppm)	Comments; Correct Commodity Definition

Pea and bean dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C	0.10	0.10	Bean, dry, seed

Sunflower subgroup 20B	0.25	0.20	To harmonize with Canada.

Processed Commodities: There are no processed commodities associated with dry bean (OPPTS 860.1000, Table 1).  Sunflower processed commodities are sunflower meal and refined oil.  Seeds harvested from crops treated at the exaggerated rate of >3x were harvested and processed according to simulated commercial methods.  Combined residues in duplicate treated seed samples were 0.11 and 0.22 ppm (tepraloxydim, <0.05 ppm; 5-OH-DP, 0.06 and 0.17 ppm); in meal fractions, the combined residues were <0.10 and 0.13 ppm (tepraloxydim, <0.05 ppm; 5-OH-DP, 0.05 and 0.08 ppm).  Residues were non-quantifiable in the refined oil.   The data indicate that residues of tepraloxydim and its metabolites did not concentrate in soybean meal or refined oil.  Therefore, all processing factors in the residue file for the proposed sunflower commodities were set to 1.

III.	Drinking Water Data

There are no new drinking water data for tepraloxydim.   As in the last dietary risk assessment, the drinking water residues and the estimated surface water concentration are the values provided by the Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) in the following memorandum:  “Tier I Drinking Water Assessment for Tepraloxydim” (J. Breithaupt, DP Number 338939, 5/1/07).   direct, all sources” and “water, indirect, all sources.”

The acute and chronic analyses were conducted using estimated surface water concentrations  generated from the FIRST model.  The FIRST modeling was performed with Index Reservoir (IR) scenarios and a percent cropped area (PCA) adjustment factor of 0.87 as a default value, according to the IR/PCA guidance from R.D. Jones et.al. (March 21, 2000).   The acute surface water Estimated Environmental Concentration (EEC) for tepraloxydim is 1.4 ppb and the chronic surface water EEC is 0.7 ppb.   The PCA adjusted model results are presented in Table 2.

Table 2. Drinking Water EECs for Tepraloxydim from Surface Water using the FIRST Model.

Scenario and crop	Peak	Chronic Value

Soybean	1.4 ppb	0.7 ppb

The water values were incorporated directly into the DEEM-FCID into the food categories “water, direct, all sources” and “water, indirest, all sources”.

The model and its description are available at the EPA internet site:   HYPERLINK "http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/"  http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/ .

IV.	DEEM-FCID™ Program and Consumption Information

Tepraloxydim acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments were conducted using DEEM-FCID™, Version 2.03, which incorporates consumption data from USDA’s CSFII, 1994-1996 and 1998.  The 1994-96 and 1998 data are based on the reported consumption of more than 20,000 individuals over two non-consecutive survey days.  Foods “as consumed” (e.g., apple pie) are linked to EPA-defined food commodities (e.g. apples, peeled fruit - cooked; fresh or N/S; baked; or wheat flour - cooked; fresh or N/S, baked) using publicly available recipe translation files developed jointly by USDA/ARS and EPA.  For chronic exposure assessment, consumption data are averaged for the entire U.S. population and within population subgroups, but for acute exposure assessment are retained as individual consumption events.  Based on analysis of the 1994-96 and 1998 CSFII consumption data, which took into account dietary patterns and survey respondents, HED concluded that it is most appropriate to report risk for the following population subgroups: the general U.S. population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, adults 20-49, females 13-49, and adults 50+ years old.

For chronic dietary exposure assessments, an estimate of the residue level in each food or food-form (e.g., orange or orange juice) on the food commodity residue list is multiplied by the

average daily consumption estimate for that food/food form to produce a residue intake estimate.  The resulting residue intake estimate for each food/food form is summed with the residue intake estimates for all other food/food forms on the commodity residue list to arrive at the total average estimated exposure.  Exposure is expressed in mg/kg body weight/day and as a percent of the cPAD.  This procedure is performed for each population subgroup.

For acute exposure assessments, individual one-day food consumption data are used on an individual-by-individual basis.  The reported consumption amounts of each food item can be multiplied by a residue point estimate and summed to obtain a total daily pesticide exposure for a deterministic exposure assessment, or “matched” in multiple random pairings with residue values and then summed in a probabilistic assessment.  The resulting distribution of exposures is expressed as a percentage of the aPAD on both a user (i.e., only those who reported eating relevant commodities/food forms) and a per-capita (i.e., those who reported eating the relevant commodities as well as those who did not) basis.  In accordance with HED policy, per capita exposure and risk are reported for all tiers of analysis.  However, for Tiers 1 and 2, any significant differences in user vs. per capita exposure and risk are specifically identified and noted in the risk assessment.

V.	Toxicological Information

Historical background surrounding the toxicological endpoint selection, decisions on the FQPA safety factors, and reevaluation of the cancer classification were described in detail in the latest dietary exposure assessment memo (DP# 338371, N. Dodd, 7/17/2007).  No new information has been received since the previous dietary risk assessment.  The available toxicity database for tepraloxydim, including developmental toxicity studies in rats and rabbits and a two-generation reproduction study in rats was reviewed for the purpose of the current risk assessment and HED has concluded that the database is adequate for evaluating the FQPA safety factor.

The doses and toxicological endpoints selected for dietary risk assessment are summarized in Table 3.

No. 014487).

NOAEL = no observed adverse effect level.  LOAEL = lowest observed adverse effect level.  UF = uncertainty factor.  UFA = extrapolation from animal to human (interspecies).  UFH = potential variation in sensitivity among members of the human population (intraspecies).  UFL = use of a LOAEL to extrapolate to a NOAEL.  UFDB = to account for the absence of key data (i.e., lack of a critical study).  FQPA SF = FQPA Safety Factor.  DNT = Developmental Neurotoxicity.

VI.	Results/Discussion

 is concerned when dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  The DEEM-FCID™ analyses estimate the dietary exposure of the U.S. population and various population subgroups.  The acute and chronic dietary exposure estimate for the general U.S. population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, females 13-49, adults 20-49, and adults 50+ years are summarized in Table 4.

Results of Acute and Chronic Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Analysis for the general U.S. population and population subgroups

The results of the acute and chronic dietary exposure of the general U.S. population and population subgroups to tepraloxydim from food and drinking water are below the Agency’s level of concern [i.e., <100% acute and chronic population-adjusted dose (aPAD and cPAD)].  The acute dietary exposure was estimated at 0.003713 mg/kg/day (equivalent to <1 % of the aPAD) for the general U.S. population and 0.010897 mg/kg/day (equivalent to 2.2% of the aPAD) for children 1-2 years old, the most highly exposed population subgroup.  The acute dietary exposure of females 13-49 years old at the 95th percentile of exposure is estimated to be 0.001844 mg/kg/day, equivalent to <1% (0.46%) of the aPAD; therefore, is not of concern to HED (i.e., <100% aPAD).

The chronic dietary exposure was estimated at 0.001213 mg/kg/day (equivalent to 2.4% of the cPAD) for the general U.S. population and 0.004825 mg/kg/day (equivalent to 9.6% of the cPAD) for children 1-2 years old, the most highly exposed population subgroup.   The estimated acute and chronic exposure risk from food and drinking water for the general U.S. population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, females 13-49,  adults 20-49, and adults 50+ years are summarized in Table 4.

VII.	Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

The acute and chronic dietary exposure and risk estimates are conservative since they assume that 100% of crops are treated with tepraloxydim and that the residues are present at tolerance levels.  The drinking water exposure estimates were based on screening level estimates generated by the FIRST model.  Although not needed at this time, HED could refine the exposure and risk estimates through the use of anticipated residues and percent crop treated data as well as refined estimated drinking water concentrations.  However, since estimated exposures and risks using conservative assumptions are well below HED’s level of concern, such refinement is not warranted.

VIII.		Conclusions

These unrefined dietary exposure analyses using DEEM-FCIDTM indicate that acute and chronic dietary exposure to tepraloxydim from food and drinking water are well below HED’s level of concern (i.e., <100% aPAD).  Combined acute dietary exposure of the general U.S. population from food and drinking water at the 95th percentile of exposure is estimated to be 0.003713 mg/kg/day, equivalent to <1%  of the aPAD and 0.010897 mg/kg/day equivalent to 2.2% of the

aPAD for children 1-2 years old, the most highly exposed subgroup.  The estimated acute exposure of females 13-49 years old represents <1% of the aPAD at the 95th percentile of

exposure.   The chronic dietary exposure to tepraloxydim from food + drinking water is 2.4% of the cPAD for the general U.S. population and 9.6% of the cPAD for children 1-2 years old, the most highly exposed population subgroup.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Request for nominations.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites
nominations of qualified candidates to be considered for a three-year
appointment to the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC or
Council). The 15-member Council was established by the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA) to provide practical and independent advice,
consultation and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the
activities, functions, policies and regulations required by the SDWA.
This notice solicits nominations to fill one new vacancy from December
2016 through December 2019. To maintain the representation required by
statute, a nominee will be selected to represent state and local
agencies concerned with water hygiene and public water supply.

DATES: Nominations should be submitted on or before July 31, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit nominations to Michelle Schutz, Designated Federal
Officer (DFO), The National Drinking Water Advisory Council, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Ground Water and Drinking
Water, Mail Code 4601-M, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC
20460. You may also email nominations with the subject line
NDWACResume2016 to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Email your questions to Michelle
Schutz or call her at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    National Drinking Water Advisory Council: The Council was created
by Congress on December 16, 1974, as part of the Safe Drinking Water
Act of 1974, Public Law 93-523, 42 U.S.C. 300j-5, and is operated in
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2. The Council consists of 15 members, including
the Chairperson, all of whom are appointed by the EPA's Administrator.
Five members represent appropriate state and local agencies concerned
with water hygiene and public water supply; five members represent
private organizations or groups demonstrating an active interest in the
field of water hygiene and public water supply--of which two such
members shall be associated with small, rural public water systems; and
five members represent the general public. The current list of members
is available on the EPA Web site at http://water.epa.gov/drink/ndwac.
    The Council will meet in person once each year and may hold a
second meeting during the year either in person or by video/
teleconferencing. These meetings generally occur in the spring and
fall. Additionally, members may be asked to participate in ad hoc
workgroups to develop policy recommendations, advice letters and
reports to address specific program issues.
    Member Nominations: Any interested person and/or organization may
nominate qualified individuals for membership. EPA values and welcomes
diversity. In an effort to obtain

nominations of diverse candidates, the Agency encourages nominations of
women and men of all racial and ethnic groups.
    All nominations will be fully considered, but applicants need to be
aware that EPA is currently only soliciting for the current vacancy in
the category to represent state and local agencies concerned with water
hygiene and public water supply, pursuant to the SDWA. Other criteria
used to evaluate nominees will include:
     Demonstrated experience with drinking water issues at the
national, state or local level;
     Excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication
and consensus-building skills;
     Willingness to commit time to the Council and demonstrated
ability to work constructively on committees;
     Absence of financial conflicts of interest;
     Absence of appearance of a lack of impartiality; and
     Background and experience that would help members
contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the Council, e.g.,
geographic, economic, social, cultural, educational backgrounds,
professional affiliations and other considerations.
    Nominations must include a resume, which provides the nominee's
background, experience and educational qualifications, as well as a
brief statement (one page or less) describing the nominee's interest in
serving on the Council and addressing the other criteria previously
described. Nominees are encouraged to provide any additional
information that they think would be useful for consideration, such as:
Availability to participate as a member of the Council; how the
nominee's background, skills and experience would contribute to the
diversity of the Council; and any concerns the nominee has regarding
membership. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation,
position, current business address, email and telephone number.
Interested candidates may self-nominate. The DFO will acknowledge
receipt of nominations.
    Persons selected for membership will receive compensation for
travel and a nominal daily compensation (if appropriate) while
attending meetings. Additionally, the selected candidate will be
designated as a Special Government Employee (SGE) and will be required
to fill out the ``Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for
Environmental Protection Agency Special Government Employees'' (EPA
Form 3110-48). This confidential form provides information to EPA's
ethics officials to determine whether there is a conflict between the
SGE's public duties and their private interests, including an
appearance of a loss of impartiality as defined by federal laws and
regulations. The form may be viewed and downloaded through the ``Ethics
Requirements for Advisors'' link on the EPA NDWAC Web site at https://www.epa.gov/ndwac/membership-national-drinking-water-advisory-council#tab-2.
    Other sources, in addition to this Federal Register notice, may
also be utilized in the solicitation of nominees. To help EPA in
evaluating the effectiveness of its outreach efforts, please tell us
how you learned of this opportunity.

    Dated: June 15, 2016.
Carlos Osegueda,
Acting Deputy Office Director, Office of Ground Water and Drinking
Water.

 Order Of Suspension of Trading; In the Matter of ARX Gold Corp.

October 22, 2013.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') that there is a lack of current and accurate
information concerning the securities of ARX Gold Corp. (``ARX Gold''),
quoted under the ticker symbol DUCP, because of questions regarding the
authorship of, and accuracy of information contained in, an exhibit,
dated June 15, 2012 and entitled ``Feasibility Study ARX Springs & ARX
Pacific Properties For Mining Project Located in Wide Bay Burnett
Region, Queensland, Australia,'' to ARX Gold's Form 10-K filed on
September 4, 2013 and an exhibit, dated May 7, 2012 and entitled
``Definitive Feasibility Study on the ARX Springs and ARX Pacific
Properties located in Wide Bay Burnett

Region, Queensland, Australia,'' to its Form 8-K filed on May 30, 2012.
On October 3, 2013, ARX Gold filed an amended Form 10-K purporting ``to
delete an exhibit which was erroneously filed'' with the 10-K filed on
September 4, 2013 (emphasis added) without explicitly identifying or
explaining that the Feasibility Study was the exhibit it sought to
delete. ARX Gold has not amended its May 2012 Form 8-K and its October
2013 amendment to the Form 10-K does not disclaim the purported facts
described in the earlier Feasibility Study filed with the Commission.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on
October 22, 2013, through 11:59 p.m. EST on November 4, 2013.

    By the Commission.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
