ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0681; FRL-10386-02-R9]

Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Vehicle Miles
Traveled Emissions Offset Demonstrations for the 2015 Ozone Standards;
California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve revisions to the California state implementation plan
(SIP) concerning vehicle miles traveled (VMT) offset demonstrations for
the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin (South Coast), Riverside County
(Coachella Valley), Los Angeles-San Bernadino Counties (West Mojave
Desert), and San Joaquin Valley nonattainment areas (NAAs) for the 2015
ozone national ambient air quality standards (2015 ozone NAAQS). The
EPA is taking action to approve these revisions because they
demonstrate that California has added or implemented specific
enforceable transportation control strategies and transportation
control measures to offset

the growth in emissions from growth in VMT and vehicle trips. We are
taking final action to approve these revisions under the Clean Air Act
(CAA or ``the Act''), which establishes VMT offset demonstration
requirements for ozone nonattainment areas classified as ``Severe'' or
``Extreme.''

DATES: This action will be effective on December 6, 2023.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0681. All documents in the docket are

I. Summary of Proposed Action

    On December 20, 2022, the EPA proposed to approve a revision to the
California SIP concerning VMT emissions offset demonstrations required
for the Coachella Valley and West Mojave Desert Severe ozone NAAs and
for the South Coast and San Joaquin Valley Extreme ozone NAAs.\1\
Section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Act and 40 CFR 51.1302 require a state to
submit, for each ozone nonattainment area classified as Severe or
above, a SIP revision that ``identifies or adopts specific enforceable
transportation control strategies and transportation control measures
to offset any growth in emissions from growth in vehicle miles traveled
or number of vehicle trips in such area.'' Herein, we refer to this SIP
requirement as the ``VMT emissions offset requirement.'' In addition,
we refer to the SIP revision intended to demonstrate compliance with
the VMT emissions offset requirement as the ``VMT emissions offset
demonstration.'' In Association of Irritated Residents v. EPA, the
Ninth Circuit ruled that additional transportation control measures are
required whenever vehicle emissions are projected to be higher than
they would have been had VMT not increased, even when aggregate vehicle
emissions are decreasing.\2\ In August 2012, the EPA issued a
memorandum titled ``Implementing Clean Air Act Section 182(d)(1)(A):
Transportation Control Measures and Transportation Control Strategies
to Offset Growth in Emissions Due to Growth in Vehicle Miles
Travelled'' (``August 2012 Guidance'').\3\ The August 2012 Guidance
discusses the meaning of ``transportation control strategies'' and
``transportation control measures'' and recommends that both be
included in the calculations made for the purpose of determining the
degree to which any hypothetical growth in emissions due to growth in
VMT should be offset. The proposed rulemaking for this action outlines
the August 2012 Guidance in further detail and how states may
demonstrate that their VMT emissions offset demonstrations can
satisfactorily conform with Court's ruling in Association of Irritated
Residents.

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

    The California Air Resources Board (CARB) provided two separate
submittals as VMT emissions offset demonstrations for California's
Severe and Extreme ozone NAAs. On July 27, 2020, CARB submitted a staff
report to the EPA titled ``70 ppb Ozone SIP Submittal'' (``July 2020
submittal'').\4\ In part, the July 2020 submittal contains the VMT
offset demonstrations for the South Coast, Coachella Valley, and San
Joaquin Valley ozone NAAs.\5\ Additionally, on December 28, 2020, CARB
submitted to the EPA a staff report titled ``West Mojave Desert VMT
Offset Demonstration'' (``December 2020 submittal'') for the West
Mojave Desert ozone NAA.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Letter dated July 24, 2020, from Richard W. Corey, Executive
Officer, CARB, to John Busterud, Regional Administrator, EPA Region
IX (submitted electronically July 27, 2020).
    \5\ The July 2020 submittal also addresses base year emissions
inventory requirements for 18 of the 21 NAAs in California. The EPA
approved the July 2020 submittal as meeting the base year emissions
inventory requirements for the 18 areas addressed in the submittal
on September 29, 2022, (87 FR 59015).
    \6\ Letter dated December 28, 2020, from Richard W. Corey,
Executive Officer, CARB, to John Busterud, Regional Administrator,
EPA Region IX (submitted electronically December 29, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In our proposal, we evaluated the portions of the July 2020
submittal that address the South Coast, Coachella Valley, and San
Joaquin Valley VMT offset demonstrations and the December 2020
submittal of the West Mojave Desert VMT offset demonstration against
the statutory and regulatory requirements of CAA section 182(d)(1)(A)
and 40 CFR 51.1302, and detailed our consideration of relevant Agency
guidance and court rulings. The full evaluation and discussion of our
review of the State's submittals can be found in our proposal. Therein
we proposed approval of the submittals as revisions to the California
SIP on the basis that they met the VMT emissions offset requirements of
CAA section 182(d)(1)(A) and 40 CFR 51.1302 for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The 30-day public comment period for the notice of proposed
rulemaking closed on January 19, 2023. We did not receive any public
comments.

III. Final Action

    For the reasons discussed in our proposed rule and summarized in
this document, we are finalizing our approval of the following as
revisions to the California SIP:
    [ssquf] VMT emissions offset demonstration element in the July 27,
2020 CARB submittal for the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin (South
Coast), Riverside County (Coachella Valley), and San Joaquin Valley
ozone nonattainment areas as meeting the requirements of CAA section
182(d)(1)(A) and 40 CFR 51.1302 for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
    [ssquf] VMT emissions offset demonstration element in the December
28, 2020 CARB submittal for the Los Angeles-San Bernadino Counties
(West Mojave Desert) ozone nonattainment area as meeting the
requirements of CAA section 182(d)(1)(A) and 40 CFR 51.1302 for the
2015 ozone NAAQS.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11,
2023);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, this rulemaking does not have tribal implications and
will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
The EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' The EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    The State did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing
regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA
did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action.
This final action is expected to have a neutral to positive impact on
the air quality of the affected area. Consideration of EJ is not
required as part of this action, and there is no information in the
record inconsistent with the stated goal of Executive Order 12898 of
achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-income
populations, and Indigenous peoples.

June 10, 2008.
    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 June 2, 2008, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' or the ``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 substantially
prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange hereby proposes to amend certain of its rules to
provide for the listing and trading of options that overlie an index
that is equal to 1/10th of the value of the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index
(the ``BXM'' or the ``BXM Index''). BXM options will be cash-settled
and will have European-style expiration. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/
Legal), at the CBOE's Office of the Secretary, 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 proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant 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 permit the Exchange
to list and trade cash-settled, European-style options on an index that
is equal to 1/10th of the value of the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (the
``BXM'' or the ``BXM Index'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange is not currently proposing to list and trade
options that overlie the full-value BXM Index, but may do so in the
future. In that event, the Exchange will seek Commission approval.
    CBOE Futures Exchange, LLC (``CFE'') currently lists and trades
CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index future contracts, which commenced
trading on October 2, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Index Design
    The BXM Index measures the total rate of return of a hypothetical
``covered call'' strategy applied to the S&P 500 Composite Price Index
(the ``S&P 500 Index''). This strategy, referred to as the ``BXM
covered call strategy,'' consists of a hypothetical portfolio
consisting of a ``long'' position indexed to the S&P 500 Index on which
are deemed sold a succession of one-month, at-the-money call options on
the S&P 500 Index listed on the Exchange. This hypothetical portfolio
is referred to as the ``covered S&P 500 Index portfolio.''
    The BXM Index provides a benchmark measure of the total return
performance of this hypothetical portfolio. Dividends paid on the
component stocks underlying the S&P 500 Index and the dollar value of
option premium deemed received from the sold call options are
functionally ``re-invested'' in the covered S&P 500 Index portfolio.
The BXM Index is based on the cumulative gross rate of return of the
covered S&P 500 Index portfolio since the inception of the BXM Index on
June 1, 1988, when it was set to an initial value of 100.00.
    The BXM covered call strategy requires that each S&P 500 Index call
option in the hypothetical portfolio be held to maturity, generally the
third Friday of each month. The call option is settled against the
Special Opening Quotation (``SOQ'') of the S&P 500 Index used as the
final settlement price of S&P 500 Index call options.\4\ The SOQ is a
special calculation of the S&P 500 Index that is compiled from the
opening prices of component stocks underlying the S&P 500 Index. The
SOQ calculation is performed when all 500

stocks underlying the S&P 500 Index have opened for trading, and is
usually determined before 10 a.m. Chicago time.\5\ The final settlement
price of the call option at maturity is the greater of 0 and the
difference between the SOQ minus the strike price of the expiring call
option.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ If the third Friday of the month is an exchange holiday, the
call option will be settled against the SOQ on the previous business
day and the new call option will be selected on that day as well.
    \5 \ If one or more stocks in the S&P 500 Index do not open on
the day the SOQ is calculated, the final settlement price for SPX
options is determined in accordance with the Rules and By-Laws of
The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsequent to the settlement of the expiring call option, a new at-
the-money call option expiring in the next month is then deemed
written, or sold, a transaction commonly referred to as a ``roll.'' The
strike price of the new call option is the S&P 500 Index call option
listed on CBOE with the closest strike price above the last value of
the S&P 500 Index reported before 10 a.m. Chicago time.\6\ For example,
if the last S&P 500 Index value reported before 10 a.m. Chicago time is
901.10 and the closest listed S&P 500 Index call option strike price
above 901.10 is 905, then the 905 strike S&P 500 Index call option is
selected as the new call option to be incorporated into the BXM Index.
The long S&P 500 Index component and the short call option component
are held in equal notional amounts, i.e., the short position in the
call option is ``covered'' by the long S&P 500 Index component.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ If the last value of the S&P 500 Index reported before 10:00
a.m. Chicago time is exactly equal to a listed S&P 500 Index call
option strike price, then the new call option is the S&P 500 Index
call option with that exact at-the-money strike price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once the strike price of the new call option has been identified,
the new call option is deemed sold at a price equal to the volume-
weighted average of the traded prices (``VWAP'') of the new call option
during the half-hour period beginning at 10:30 a.m. Chicago time.\7\
CBOE calculates the VWAP in a two-step process: first, CBOE excludes
trades in the new call option between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Chicago
time that are identified as having been executed as part of a
``spread,'' and then CBOE calculates the weighted average of all
remaining transaction prices of the new call option between 10:30 a.m.
and 11 a.m. Chicago time, with weights equal to the fraction of total
non-spread volume transacted at each price during this period. The
source of the transaction prices used in the calculation of the VWAP is
CBOE's Market Data Retrieval (``MDR'') System.\8\ If no transactions
occur in the new call option between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Chicago
time, then the new call option is deemed sold at the last bid price
reported before 11 a.m. Chicago time. The value of option premium
deemed received from the new call option is functionally ``reinvested''
in the portfolio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The timing of the roll and the price used to sell the new
call has changed over time. The monthly roll originally occurred at
the close of trading on the third Friday of the month, i.e. the
strike price of the new call was determined at 3 p.m. Chicago time,
and the new call was deemed to be sold at the last bid price before
3 p.m. Chicago time. Since October 16, 1992, the call has been
rolled at 11 a.m. Chicago time instead, and starting on June 18,
2004, the new call began to be sold at the VWAP.
    \8\ Time and sales information from CBOE's MDR System is
disseminated through the Options Price Reporting Authority
(``OPRA'') and is publicly available through most price quote
vendors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Index Calculation

    The BXM Index is calculated in real-time by CBOE every 15 seconds
during each trading day, excluding roll dates (for the respective
components of the covered S&P 500 Index portfolio). The BXM Index
calculation is disseminated through OPRA and is publicly available
through most price quote vendors.\9\ The BXM Index is a chained index,
i.e., its value is equal to 100 times the cumulative product of gross
daily rates of return of the covered S&P 500 Index portfolio since the
inception date of the BXM Index. On any given day, the BXM Index is
calculated as follows:

    \9\ Information regarding the BXM Index may be found on CBOE's
Web site at the following Internet address: http://www.cboe.com/
micro/bxm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

BXMt = BXM t-1 (1 - Rt)

where Rt is the daily rate of return of the covered S&P
500 Index portfolio. This rate includes ordinary cash dividends paid
on the stocks underlying the S&P 500 Index that trade ``ex-
dividend'' on that date.

    On each trading day excluding roll dates, the daily gross rate of
return of the BXM equals the change in the value of the components of
the covered S&P 500 Index portfolio, including the value of ordinary
cash dividends payable on component stocks underlying the S&P 500 Index
that trade ``ex-dividend'' on that date, as measured from the close in
trading on the preceding trading day. The gross daily rate of return is
equal to:

1 + Rt = (St + Divt - Ct)/(St-1 - Ct-1)

    In this equation, St is the closing value of the S&P 500 Index at
date t, Divt represents the ordinary cash dividends payable
on the component stocks underlying the S&P 500 Index that trade ``ex-
dividend'' at date t expressed in S&P 500 Index points, and
Ct is the arithmetic average of the last bid and ask prices
of the call option reported before 4 p.m. ET at date t. St-1
is the closing value of the S&P 500 Index on the preceding trading day
and Ct-1 is the average of the last bid and ask prices of
the call option reported before 4 p.m. ET on the preceding trading day.
    On roll dates, the gross daily rate of return is compounded from
three gross rates of return: the gross rate of return from the previous
close to the time the SOQ is determined and the expiring call is
settled; the gross rate of return from the SOQ to the initiation of the
new call position; and the gross rate of return from the time the new
call option is deemed sold to the close of trading on the roll date,
expressed as follows:

1 + Rt = (1 + Ra) x (1 + Rb) x (1 + Rc)

where:
1 + Ra = (S\SOQ\ + Divt - CSettle)/(St-1 - Ct-1);
1 + Rb = (S\VWAV\)/(S\SOQ\), and
1 + Rc = (St - Ct)/(S\VWAV\ - CVWAP)

    In this equation, Ra is the rate of return of the
covered S&P 500 Index portfolio from the previous close of trading
through the settlement of the expiring call option. S\SOQ\ is the
Special Opening Quotation used in determining the settlement price of
the expiring call option. As previously defined, Divt
represents dividends on S&P 500 Index component stocks determined in
the same manner as on non-roll dates, and CSettle is the
final settlement price of the expiring call option. St-1 and
Ct-1 are determined in the same manner as on non-roll dates.
    Rb is the rate of return of the un-covered S&P 500 Index portfolio
from the settlement of the expiring option to the time the new call
option is deemed sold. S\VWAV\ is the volume-weighted average value of
the S&P Index based on the same time and weights used to calculate the
VWAP in the new call option.
    Rc is the rate of return of the covered S&P 500 Index
portfolio from the time the new call option is deemed sold to the close
of trading on the roll date. As defined above, S\VWAV\ is the volume-
weighted average value of the S&P Index based on the same time and
weights used to calculate the VWAP in the new call option.
Cvwap is the volume-weighted average trading price of the
new call option between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Chicago time, and
Ct refers to the average bid/ask quote of the new call
option reported before 3 p.m. Chicago time on the roll date.
Options Trading
    BXM options will be quoted in terms of the underlying BXM Index
(\1/10\th value). Both options prices and cash index levels will be
stated in decimal format and one point will equal $100. The minimum
tick size for series trading below 3.00 will be 0.05 point ($5.00) and
the minimum tick for series trading at and above 3.00 will be 0.10
point

($10.00). In accordance with Rule 24.9(a)(2), the Exchange will
typically list three near-term expiration months and three additional
expiration months from the March quarterly cycle (March, June,
September and December).
    The minimum strike price interval for BXM options will be 0.01
point ($1.00). CBOE believes that because the BXM Index is less
volatile than other broad-based indexes (e.g., S&P 500 Index), $1
strike price intervals in BXM option series will provide investors with
greater flexibility by allowing them to establish positions that are
better tailored to meet their investment objectives. This is consistent
with existing Exchange rules and practices that allow the Exchange to
list series at $1 (or lower) strike price intervals in similar options
products. For example, Rule 24.9.01(b) allows the Exchange to list
series on options based on one-one hundredth (\1/100\th) of the value
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index at no less than $0.50
intervals.\10\ Similarly, Rule 24.9.11 allows the Exchange to list
strike price intervals at no less than $1 for the reduced-value version
of the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Stock Index option (``Mini-SPX
option''), which is based on \1/10\th the value of the S&P 500
Index.\11\

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 39011 (September 3,
1997), 62 FR 47840 (September 11, 1997) (SR-CBOE-1997-26).
    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 52625 (October 18,
2005), 70 FR 61479 (October 24, 2005) (SR-CBOE-2005-81) and 57049
(December 27, 2007), 73 FR 528 (January 3, 2008) (SR-CBOE-2007-125).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To address this, the Exchange is proposing to list series at $1 or
greater strike price intervals on BXM options that overlie an index
that is equal to \1/10\th the value of the BXM Index. Initially, the
Exchange will list at least two strike prices above and two strike
prices below the current value of the BXM Index (\1/10\th value) at or
about the time a series is opened for trading on the Exchange. As part
of this initial listing, the Exchange will list strike prices that are
within 5 points from the closing value of the BXM Index (\1/10\th
value) on the preceding day.
    As for additional series, the Exchange will be permitted to add
additional series when the Exchange deems it necessary to maintain an
orderly market, to meet customer demand, or when the underlying BXM
Index (\1/10\th value) moves substantially from the initial exercise
price or prices. To the extent that any additional strike prices are
listed by the Exchange, such additional strike prices shall be within
30 percent above or below the closing value of the BXM Index (\1/10\th
value). The Exchange will also be permitted to open additional strike
prices that are more than 30 percent above or below the current BXM
Index (\1/10\th value) provided that customer interest for such series
is demonstrated and expressed by institutional, corporate or individual
customers or their brokers. Market-Makers trading for their own account
would not be considered when determining customer interest. In addition
to the initial listed series, the Exchange may list up to 60 additional
series per expiration month for each series in BXM options. In
addition, the Exchange proposes that it shall not list LEAPS on BXM
options at intervals less than $5.
    The Exchange is also proposing to set forth a delisting policy with
respect to BXM options. Specifically, the Exchange would, on a monthly
basis, review series that are outside a range of five strikes above and
five strikes below the current value of the BXM Index (\1/10\th value)
and delist series with no open interest in both the put and the call
series having a: (i) Strike higher than the highest strike price with
open interest in the put and/or call series for a given expiration
month; and (ii) strike lower than the lowest strike price with open
interest in the put and/or call series for a given expiration month.
    Notwithstanding the proposed delisting policy, customer requests to
add strikes and/or maintain strikes in BXM options in series eligible
for delisting shall be granted.
    The Exchange also proposes to add new Interpretation and Policy .11
to Rule 5.5, Series of Option Contracts Open for Trading, which would
be an internal cross reference stating that the intervals between
strike prices for BXM option series would be determined in accordance
with proposed new Interpretation and Policy .01(f) to Rule 24.9.
Exercise and Settlement
    The proposed options will expire on the Saturday following the
third Friday of the expiration month. Trading in the expiring contract
month will normally cease at 3:15 p.m. Chicago time on the business day
preceding the last day of trading (ordinarily the Thursday before
expiration Saturday, unless there is an intervening holiday). When the
last trading day is moved because of an Exchange holiday (such as when
CBOE is closed on the Friday before expiration), the last trading day
for expiring options will be Wednesday and the SOQ of the BXM Index
will be calculated on Thursday.
    Exercise will result in delivery of cash on the business day
following expiration. BXM options will be A.M.-settled. As described
above, the exercise settlement value of a BXM option shall be a SOQ of
the BXM Index (\1/10\th value). The exercise-settlement amount is equal
to the difference between the exercise-settlement value and the
exercise price of the option, multiplied by $100.
    If the exercise settlement value is not available or the normal
settlement procedure cannot be utilized due to a trading disruption or
other unusual circumstance, the settlement value will be determined in
accordance with the rules and bylaws of the OCC.
Surveillance
    The Exchange will use the same surveillance procedures currently
utilized for each of the Exchange's other index options to monitor
trading in BXM options. The Exchange further represents that these
surveillance procedures shall be adequate to monitor trading in options
on these option products. For surveillance purposes, the Exchange will
have complete access to information regarding trading activity in the
pertinent underlying securities (i.e., S&P 500 Index component
securities).
Position and Exercise Limits; Reporting of Positions
    The Exchange is not proposing to establish any position and
exercise limits for BXM options. Because the BXM Index (\1/10\th value)
is calculated using values of the S&P 500 Index, the Exchange believes
that the position and exercise limits for this new product should be
the same as those for broad-based index options, e.g., SPX, for which
there are no position limits.
    BXM options will be subject to the same reporting and other
requirements triggered for other options dealt in on the Exchange.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See e.g., Rule 4.13, Reports Related to Position Limits.
For purposes of calculating reportable positions, the Exchange has
employed a contract factor of 10 for determining reporting and other
requirements for BXM options. For example, the reporting
requirements of Rule 24.4.03 for BXM options will be triggered when
an end of day aggregate position exceeds 1 million contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exchange Rules Applicable
    Except as modified herein, the rules in Chapters I through XIX,
XXIV, XXIVA, and XXIVB will equally apply to BXM options.
    BXM options will be margined as ``broad-based index'' options, and
under CBOE rules, especially, Rule 12.3(c)(5)(A), the margin
requirement for a short put or call shall be 100% of the current market
value of the contract plus up to 15% of the respective

underlying indicator value. Additional margin may be required pursuant
to Exchange Rule 12.10.
    The Exchange hereby designates BXM options as eligible for trading
as Flexible Exchange Options as provided for in Chapters XXIVA
(Flexible Exchange Options) and XXIVB (FLEX Hybrid Trading System).
Capacity
    CBOE has analyzed its capacity and represents that it believes the
Exchange and the OPRA have the necessary systems capacity to handle the
additional traffic associated with the listing of new series that would
result from the introduction of BXM options.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \13\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \14\ in particular, in that it will permit
trading in options based on the index pursuant to rules designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices and to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, and thereby will provide
investors with the ability to invest in options that provide
statistical measurements of market variability.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2020-0567; Airspace Docket No. 20-AAL-15) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2020-0567; Airspace Docket No. 20-AAL-15.'' The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified comment
closing date will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the comment
closing date. A report summarizing each substantive public contact with
FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,

air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Background

    Due to the decommissioning of the Burwash, YT, Canada, NDB it
requires amendment to Federal airways A-15, V-444, and jet routes J-502
and J-511 to remove associated airway segments.
    Colored Federal airway A-15 is currently published from the
Ethelda, BC, Canada, NDB to the Delta Junction, AK, NDB and will
require deletion of the segment between the Haines, AK, NDB and the
Beaver Creek, YT, NDB. The requested amended route will stop at the US/
Canadian border and resume at Beaver Creek YT, NDB.
    Federal airway V-444 navigates from Barrow, AK, to the Burwash, YT,
NDB, and the portion of the airway from the intersection of Northway
120[deg] (M) 138[deg] (T) and Gulkana 062[deg] (M) 079[deg] (T) to the
Burwash, YT, NDB will require deletion.
    Federal airway J-502 currently navigates from Seattle, WA to
Kotzebue, AK and will require amendment to remove the segment from an
intersection at the US/Canadian border north of the Sister Island, AK,
VORTAC to an intersection at the US/Canadian border southeast of
Northway, AK, VORTAC.
    Federal airway J-511 currently navigates from Dillingham, AK, to
Burwash Landing, YT. The segment of the route between Burwash Landing,
YT, Canada and the intersection of Gulkana 078[deg] radial; and
Northway 137[deg] will require deletion. The airway will terminate at
the US/Canadian boundary.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Federal airways A-15, V-444, J-
502, and J-511 The proposed Federal airway actions are described below.
    A-15: A-15 currently extends between the Ethelda, BC, Canada, NDB
and the Delta Junction, AK, NDB. This action proposes to remove the
segment between the Intersection of Sisters Island 311[deg] (M),
331[deg] (T), and Whitehorse 189[deg] (M), 207[deg] (T) radials and
Beaver Creek, YT, NDB. The unaffected portions of the existing route
would remain as charted.
    V-444: V-444 currently extends between the Barrow, AK, NDB and the
Burwash, YT, NDB. This action proposes to remove the segment between
the intersection of the Northway 120[deg] (M), 138 [deg] (T), and
Gulkana 062[deg] (M), 079[deg] (T) and Burwash, YT, NDB. The unaffected
portions of the existing route would remain as charted. The portion
within Canada is excluded.
    J-502: J-502 currently extends between Seattle, WA and Kotzebue,
AK. The FAA proposes to remove the segment between the Intersection of
Sisters Island 311[deg] (M), 331[deg] (T), and Whitehorse 189[deg] (M),
207[deg] (T) radials; and the Intersection of Northway 120[deg] (M),
138[deg] (T), and Gulkana 062[deg] (M), 079[deg] (T) radials. The
unaffected portions of the existing route would remain as charted.
    J-511: J-511 currently extends between Dillingham, AK and Burwash
Landing, YT, Canada, NDB. The FAA proposes to remove the segment
between Gulkana, AK; and the intersection of Gulkana 078[deg] (M),
102[deg] (T) radial; and Northway 137[deg] (M), 161[deg] (T) radial.
The unaffected portions of the existing route would remain as charted.
    Colored and Alaskan VOR Federal airways are published in paragraphs
6009 and 6010(b) and Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004, of FAA
Order 7400.11D dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Federal
airways listed in this document will be subsequently published in the
Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0804; FRL-9937-02]

Hexythiazox; Pesticide Tolerances; Technical Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of August 14,
2015, concerning the establishment of tolerances with regional
registrations for residues of hexythiazox in or on wheat. This document
corrects a technical error, specifically, the omission of regions in
the commodity definitions.

DATES: This final rule correction is effective December 2, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0804 is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency
Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334,
1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. The Public
Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public
Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the telephone number for the OPP
Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Please review the visitor instructions and
additional information about the docket available at http://www.epa.gov/dockets.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Lewis, Registration Division
(7505P), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001; telephone
number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this action apply to me?

    The Agency included in the August 14, 2015 final rule a list of
those who may be potentially affected by this action.

II. What does this technical correction do?

    EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of August 14, 2015
(80 FR 48753) (FRL-9931-30) that established tolerances with regional
registrations for residues of hexythiazox in or on wheat. EPA
inadvertently limited the tolerances to Region 11 in the table in
180.448(c) of the regulatory text, when in fact Regions 9-12 are
covered by the data supporting the tolerances and the regional
registrations. This technical correction revises the table in
180.488(c) to include all the regions intended for the tolerances.
    The preamble for FR Doc. 2015-20012 published in the Federal
Register issue of August 14, 2015 (80 FR 48753) (FRL-9931-30) is
corrected as follows:
    1. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended]'', paragraph 3, line 12, correct ``Wheat, forage (EPA Region
11 only)'' to read ``Wheat, forage (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
    2. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended]'', paragraph 3, line 14, correct ``Wheat, hay (EPA Regions 11
only)'' to read ``Wheat, hay (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
    3. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended],'' paragraph 3, line 16, correct ``Wheat, grain (EPA Regions
11 only'' to read ``Wheat, grain (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
    4. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended],'' paragraph 3, line 18, correct ``Wheat, straw (EPA Region
11 only'' to read ``Wheat, straw (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.

III. Why is this correction issued as a final rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B)) provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may issue a final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making this technical
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because this action merely corrects an omission and does not otherwise
change the original requirements of the final rule. EPA finds that this
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).

IV. Do any of the statutory and executive order reviews apply to this
action?

    No. For a detailed discussion concerning the statutory and
executive order review, refer to Unit VI of the August 14, 2015 final
rule.

V. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Perquimans River, Hertford, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is withdrawing its notice of proposed
rulemaking concerning the proposed change to the regulations that
governed the operation of the US17 Bridge, at mile 12.0, across
Perquimans River at Hertford, NC. The requested change would have
allowed the bridge to operate without a tender during specific times of
the year on an advance notice basis.

DATES: The notice of proposed rulemaking is withdrawn on June 1, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this withdrawn rulemaking is available for
inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M-30), U.S.
Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 13, 2009, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Perquimans River,
Hertford, NC'' in the Federal Register (74 FR 10850-10853). The
rulemaking would have allowed the drawbridge to operate on an advance
notice basis during specific times of the year. Officials from the Town
of Hertford commented that not maintaining a tender during peak boating
times would have an adverse impact on public safety.

Withdrawal

    The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT),
responsible for the operation of the US17 Bridge, had requested advance
notification of vessel openings during specific times of the year due
to the infrequency of requests for vessel openings of the drawbridge.
    The Coast Guard received several comments opposing changes to the
proposed rulemaking. We conducted a lengthy and thorough investigation
that included a site visit and a meeting with officials of the Town of
Hertford. The Coast Guard met with the Mayor, Town Manager, Town
Planner and a representative from NCDOT. We also met separately with a
marina owner and the Chief of the Water Rescue team.
    Our investigation along with the majority of the comments revealed
that the rulemaking could impose critical service delays to commercial
and recreational boaters and impede the ability of rescue boats to
arrive promptly on scene. The withdrawal is based on the reason that
this change would not improve the schedule for roadway and waterway
users.

Authority

    This action is taken under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR
1.05-1; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

    Dated: May 11, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Colorado City Municipal Airport, Colorado City, AZ, to
support the implementation of new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

History

    On April 27, 2017, the FAA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking in the Federal Register (82 FR 19329) Docket No. FAA-2017-
0258, to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 and 1,200
feet above the surface at Colorado City Municipal Airport, Colorado
City, AZ. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Colorado City Municipal Airport, Colorado City, AZ. The
airspace is expanded from the 6.5-mile radius of the airport to 7.8
miles west and 2 miles east of the 163[deg] (from 173[deg]) bearing
from the airport to 16 miles (from 12 miles) south of the airport to
contain the NDB-A procedure turn. Also, a segment is added from the
6.5-mile radius of the airport extending to 15.1 miles southeast of the
airport to support a new RNAV GPS RWY 29 instrument approach procedure
for IFR operations at the airport.
    Additionally, the Class E airspace area extending upward from 1,200
feet is removed as there is sufficient 1,200-foot airspace provided by
St. George Class E airspace extending from 700 feet above the surface
and Grand Canyon Class E en route airspace.
    Also, this action updates the geographic coordinates of the airport
to lat. 36[deg]57'36'' N., long. 113[deg]00'50'' W. (from lat.
36[deg]57'08'' N., long. 113[deg]00'59'' W.), to match the FAA's
current aeronautical database. This action ensures the safety and
management of controlled airspace within the national airspace system
as it transitions from ground based navigation aids to satellite-based
Global Navigation Satellite System for navigation.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
