    On February 2, 1987, pursuant to Sections 17A(b) and 19(a) of the
Act \2\ and Rule 17Ab2-1 promulgated thereunder,\3\ the Commission
granted the MBS Clearing Corporation (``MBSCC'') registration as a
clearing agency on a temporary basis for a period of eighteen
months.\4\ The Commission subsequently extended MBSCC's registration

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

    On May 28, 2008, FICC requested that the Commission grant FICC
permanent registration as a clearing agency or in the alternative
extend FICC's temporary registration until such time as the Commission
is prepared to grant FICC permanent registration.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Letter from Nikki Poulos, Managing Director, General
Counsel, and Chief Privacy Officer, FICC (May 28, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In April, 2006, FICC announced its plan to have its Mortgage-Backed
Securities Division (``MBS Division'') act as a central counterparty
(``CCP'').\13\ Pursuant to this service, FICC would act as the CCP for
MBS Division members and would become the new legal counterparty to all
original parties for eligible mortgage-backed securities transactions.
Currently, FICC through its Government Securities Division acts as the
CCP for its members U.S. Government securities transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See FICC White Paper: ``A Central Counterparty For
Mortgage-Backed Securities: Paving The Way'' at http://www.dtcc.com/
downloads/leadership/whitepapers/ccp.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, the Commission is extending FICC's temporary
registration as a clearing agency in order that FICC may continue to
operate as a registered clearing agency and to provide its users
clearing and settlement services. The Commission will consider
permanent registration of FICC at a future date after the Commission
has further evaluated FICC's plans to have its MBS Division act as a
CCP and after the Commission and FICC have had time to evaluate how
FICC is functioning with its MBS Division acting as a CCP, assuming the
MBS Division CCP service is implemented.
    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Docket: Supporting documents, including the ICR that explains in
detail the information collection activities and the related burden and
cost estimates that are summarized in this document, are available in
the docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, West William
Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW,
Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is (202)
566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit
http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    ICR status: OMB approval for this ICR expired on July 1, 2017, due
to administrative error. This action is a request to reinstate OMB
approval for the information collection activities outlined in this
document. Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., an agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers are displayed either by publication in the
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
    Abstract: This information collection program is designed to
provide the EPA with assurances that the packaging of pesticide
products sold and distributed to the general public in the United
States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants of
such pesticide products must certify to the Agency that the packaging
or device meets these standards, in order to protect children and
adults from serious illness or injury resulting from accidental
ingestion or contact. The law requires that these standards are
designed to be consistent with those under the Poison Prevention
Packaging Act, administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC). Unless a pesticide product qualifies for an exemption, if the
product meets certain criteria regarding toxicity and use, it must be
sold and distributed in child-resistant packaging (CRP). The authority
for this information collection is pursuant to Section 25(c)(3) of the
FIFRA.
    Respondents/affected entities: Respondents include entities
involved in manufacturing of pesticide chemicals, wholesale
merchandising of pesticide products, or pest management activities who
submit CRP applications. The North American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) codes for respondents under this ICR include 325320
(Pesticide and other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing), 424690
(Other Chemical and Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers), and 561710
(Exterminating and Pest Control Services). EPA recognizes that this
list may not be comprehensive.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 31 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 3,535 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Estimated total cost: $249,292 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,972 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA's updating of burden
estimates for this collection, including an increase in the estimated
burden per response, and a decrease in the number of responses per
year. This change is an adjustment.

Amendment 39-15381; AD 2008-04-09]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Taylorcraft A, B, and F Series
Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to
supersede AD 2007-16-14, which applies to all Taylorcraft (Taylorcraft)
A, B, and F series airplanes. AD 2007-16-14 currently requires you to
do an initial visual inspection of the left and right wing front and
aft lift struts for cracks and corrosion and replace any cracked strut
or strut with corrosion that exceeds certain limits. If the strut is
replaced with an original design vented strut, AD 2007-16-14 requires
you to repetitively inspect those struts thereafter. Since we issued AD
2007-16-14, we determined that the eddy current inspection method does
not address the unsafe condition for the long term. We also determined
that Models FA-III and TG-6 airplanes are not equipped with the
affected struts. Consequently, this AD retains the actions required in
AD 2007-16-14, except it removes the eddy current inspection method
(provides 24-month credit if already done using this method), adds the
radiograph method as an inspection method, changes the Applicability
section, and changes the compliance time between the repetitive
inspections. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks and
corrosion in the left and right wing front and aft lift struts. This
condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the lift strut
and lead to in-flight separation of the wing.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on March 28, 2008.
    On March 28, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of Taylorcraft Aviation, LLC Service
Bulletin No. 2007-001, Revision B, dated October 15, 2007, listed in
this AD.
    As of August 20, 2007 (72 FR 45153, August 13, 2007), the Director
of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of
Taylorcraft Aviation, LLC Service Bulletin No. 2007-001, Revision A,
dated August 1, 2007, listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 3, 2007, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to certain Taylorcraft (Taylorcraft) A, B, and F series
airplanes. This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on December 10, 2007 (72 FR
69630). The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 2007-16-14 with a new AD that
would:
     Retain the actions required in AD 2007-16-14, except it
removes the eddy current inspection method (provides 24-month credit if
already done using this method);
     Adds the radiograph method as an inspection method;
     Changes the Applicability section to remove Models FA-III
and TG-6 airplanes; and
     Changes the compliance time between the repetitive
inspections.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and FAA's response to each comment:

Comment Issue No. 1: Approve Installing Univair Part Numbers (P/N) UA-
A815 and UA-854 as a Terminating Action for the Repetitive Inspection
Requirement for All Affected Taylorcraft Airplanes

    Univair Aircraft Corporation (Univair) requests that we expand the
airplane model applicability for installation of P/Ns UA-A815 and UA-
854 as a terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirement
from Taylorcraft Models BC12-D/D1 and BCS12-D/D1 airplanes (as
currently approved in an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to AD
2007-16-14) to include all affected Taylorcraft airplanes.
    On January 2, 2008, Univair received parts manufacturer approval
(PMA) under PMA Supplement Numbers 198 and 199 expanding the
eligibility to install P/Ns UA-A815 and UA-854 on all Taylorcraft
airplane models affected by the proposed AD. Installation of these
sealed struts provides an acceptable level of safety for terminating
action to the AD for all affected Taylorcraft airplane models.
    We agree with the commenter. We will change the final rule AD
action to incorporate this change.

Comment Issue No. 2: Extend or Eliminate Repetitive Inspection
Intervals

    Richard W. Gross and seven other commenters request that the
repetitive inspection interval be either extended from 4 years to 10
years or terminated altogether if no corrosion is found during the
initial inspection.
    Some of the commenters base their request on service history of
some struts having been in service for 60 years without any signs of
corrosion.
    We do not agree with the commenters. We have not received any data
to support extending the repetitive inspection interval. We have
received reports of several corroded vented wing

lift struts from different Taylorcraft series airplanes. Repetitive
inspections are necessary to detect and correct corrosion that can
develop after the initial inspection. Based on the inspection methods
used and the application of corrosion inhibitor at each inspection, 48
months is the appropriate repetitive inspection interval.
    We are not changing the final rule AD action based on these
comments.

Comment Issue No. 3: Remove F-Model Airplanes From the Applicability
Section

    Shawn Coleman and three other commenters request that the newer F-
Model Taylorcraft airplanes be removed from the Applicability section.
This request is based on these models being the most recent airplanes
produced and the expectation that they should not have a corrosion
problem.
    We do not agree with the commenters. We do not have any data to
support excluding these airplane models from the AD. These models use
the same strut design and material as the earlier produced Taylorcraft
model airplanes. We have received reports of one Model F-21 airplane
and three Model F-22 airplanes having one or more struts that failed
inspection due to corrosion.
    We are not changing the final rule AD action based on these
comments.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed
except for the changes previously discussed and minor editorial
corrections. We have determined that these minor corrections:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 3,119 airplanes in the U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to do the visual inspection:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Total cost per   Total cost on
                  Labor cost                              Parts cost                airplane      U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work-hour x $80 per hour = $80.............  Not applicable.................             $80         $249,520
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do the repetitive ultrasound or
radiograph inspection:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                          Total cost per
            Labor cost                  Parts cost           airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 work-hours x $80 per hour =      Not applicable......            $320
 $320.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that will be required based on the results of the inspections. We have
no way of determining the number of airplanes that may need this
replacement:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                             Total cost per airplane to replace
               Labor cost                            Parts cost                    all 4 wing lift struts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 work-hours to replace all 4 struts x    Sealed front lift strut: $835    $1,670 + $1,276 +
 $80 per hour = $320.                      per strut. Two per airplane =   $320 = $3,266.
                                           $1,670.
                                          Sealed aft lift strut: $638 per
                                           strut. Two per airplane =
                                           $1,276..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Original design vented lift struts are no longer manufactured. We
have no way of determining the cost associated with obtaining a useable
vented strut.
    The estimated total cost on U.S. operators includes the cumulative
costs associated with AD 2007-16-14 and any actions being added in this
AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this AD.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD (and
other information as included in the Regulatory Evaluation) and placed
it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending a
request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket
No. FAA-2007-0286; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-086-AD'' in your
request.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2007-16-14, Amendment 39-15153 (72 FR 45153, August 13, 2007), and
adding the following new AD:

2008-04-09 Taylorcraft: Amendment 39-15381; Docket No. FAA-2007-
0286; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-086-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective on March 28, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-16-14, Amendment 39-15153.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all serial numbers of Taylorcraft Models
A, BC, BCS,
    BC-65, BCS-65, BC12-65 (Army L-2H), BCS12-65, BC12-D, BCS12-D,

BLS12-65, 19, F19, F21, F21A, F21B, F22, F22A, F22B, and F22C
airplanes that:
    (1) Are certificated in any category; and
    (2) Do not incorporate sealed wing front lift struts, part
number (P/N) MA-A815, Univair P/N UA-A815, or FAA-approved
equivalent P/N, and sealed aft lift struts, P/N MA-A854, Univair P/N
UA-854, or FAA-approved equivalent P/N, for all struts.

    Note 1: This AD applies to all Taylorcraft models listed above,
including those models not listed in Taylorcraft Aviation, LLC
Service Bulletin No. 2007-001, Revision B, dated October 15, 2007.
If there are any other differences between this AD and the above
service bulletin, this AD takes precedence.

    Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a used strut that has been
inspected using the ultrasound or radiograph inspection method,
meets the Acceptance/Rejection Criteria specified in Taylorcraft
Aviation, LLC Service Bulletin No. 2007-001, Revision B, dated
October 15, 2007, and is treated with internal corrosion protection,
is considered a new strut.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from our determination that the radiograph
inspection method should be used in place of the eddy current
inspection method currently required in AD 2007-16-14. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion or cracks in the
left and right wing front and aft lift struts, which could result in
failure of the lift strut and lead to in-flight separation of the
wing with consequent loss of control.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0830; Airspace Docket No. 11-ACE-16]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Centerville, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace for Centerville, IA.
Decommissioning of the Centerville non-directional beacon (NDB) and
cancellation of the NDB approach, at Centerville Municipal Airport, as
well as the addition of a new COPTER area navigation (RNAV) SIAP at
Mercy Medical Center-Centerville Heliport, has made this action
necessary to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight
Rule (IFR) operations within the National Airspace System. The
geographic coordinates of Centerville Municipal Airport are being
updated also.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, February 9, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 26, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for the
Centerville, IA, area. (76 FR 53358) Docket No. FAA-2011-0830.
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 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective
September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface for the Centerville, IA area. Decommissioning of the
Centerville NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach at Centerville
Municipal Airport, as well as the creation of a new COPTER (RNAV)
standard instrument approach procedure at Mercy Medical Center-
Centerville Heliport, has made reconfiguration of the airspace
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations in the area.
Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are being updated to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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 will only affect 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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59088; File No. SR-DTC-2008-13]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule
Change by The Depository Trust Company Relating to Eliminating the SRO
Requirement as a Condition of DTC-Eligibility for Securities That Are
Eligible for Resale Under Rule 144A Under the Securities Act of 1933

December 11, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on October 9, 2008, The
Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') 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
primarily by DTC. 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    DTC proposes to eliminate the SRO Requirement, as defined below, as
a condition of DTC-eligibility for securities that are eligible for
resale under Rule 144A (``Rule 144A Securities'') under the Securities
Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 230.144A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC 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. DTC 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

    In April 1990, the Commission adopted Rule 144A under the
Securities Act.\3\ This rule provides a safe-harbor from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act for resales to
qualified institutional buyers (``QIBs'') of certain restricted
securities that when issued were not of the same class as securities
listed on a national securities exchange registered under the Act. Rule
144A(d)(2) \4\ requires that the seller or any person acting on its
behalf take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser is aware that
the seller may rely on the safe-harbor provided by Rule 144A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Supra note 2.
    \4\ 17 CFR 230.144A(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In 1993, the Commission approved a DTC rule filing whereby DTC
would make Rule 144A securities eligible for deposit, book-entry
delivery, and other depository services provided, in part, that DTC was
required to ``condition the eligibility of the Rule 144A Securities
(other than Investment Grade Securities) on initial and continued
inclusion of those securities in an SRO Rule 144A System, such as the
NASD's PORTAL Market System.'' \5\ This condition is referred to herein
as the ``SRO Requirement.'' The SRO Requirement contemplated that an
SRO Rule 144A System would include comprehensive safeguards to
facilitate the SRO's ability to detect violations of Rule 144A.
However, the only SRO Rule 144A System that was developed was the
NASD's PORTAL Market System (``PORTAL'') and not only did PORTAL not
develop as anticipated but also it did not include the safeguards
contemplated by the DTC rule filing and Commission order of 1993.\6\ In
light of the above, DTC believes that the SRO Requirement is no longer
necessary or appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Securities Exchange Release No. 33327 (Dec. 13, 1993), 58 FR
67878 (Dec. 22, 1993) [File No. SR-DTC-90-06]. ``Investment Grade
Securities'' are defined in this release as nonconvertible debt
securities and nonconvertible preferred stock which are in one of
the top four categories by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization.
    \6\ Securities Exchange Release No. 56172 (Jul. 31, 2007), 72 FR
44196 (Aug. 7, 2007) [File No. SR-NASDAQ-2006-65].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DTC believes that eliminating the SRO Requirement will result in a
uniform procedure for making Rule 144A Securities DTC-eligible whether
or not they were classified as investment grade securities. Under the
proposed rule change, issuers and participants would continue to be
responsible for determining that their deposit of Rule 144A Securities
with DTC and their transactions in Rule 144A Securities through the
facilities of DTC are in compliance with existing DTC rules and the
federal securities laws, such as:
    (i) Rule 2, Section 8, of DTC's rules: ``In connection with their
use of the Corporation's [DTC's] services, Participants and Pledgees
must comply with all applicable laws, including all applicable laws
relating to securities, taxation and money laundering.''
    (ii) DTC's ``Operational Arrangements (Necessary for an Issue to
Become and Remain Eligible for DTC Services)'' relating to BEO issues
being made eligible for DTC services: ``Issuer recognizes that DTC does
not in any way undertake to, and shall not have any responsibility to,
monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in the
Securities with the following, as amended from time to time: (1) Any
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933; (2) the
Investment Company Act of 1940; (3) the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974; (4) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; (5) any
rules of any self-regulatory organizations (as defined under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or (6) any other local, state,
federal, or foreign laws or regulations there under.'' \7\ This and
other representations made by issuers to DTC pursuant to the DTC
Operational Arrangements are mirrored in the Letter of Representations
that DTC receives from issuers in connection with their deposits of BEO
issues with DTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In 1994, in an order clarifying certain language in the Rule
144A Approval Order, the Commission concurred in the position taken
by DTC that ``Rule 5 [of DTC's rules] does not require DTC to
determine whether securities, when deposited at DTC, may be
transferred lawfully by book-entry in light of the Federal
securities law.'' Order Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to a
Clarification of Rule 5, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 33672,
56 SEC Docket 315 (Feb. 23, 1994) (``Rule 5 Clarification Order'').
DTC Rule 5 was amended to delete any implication that DTC was under
any statutory or contractual obligation to determine whether
securities deposited with DTC could be legally transferred by book-
entry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (iii) When a Rule 144A Security is made DTC eligible, the issuer
will continue to be required to execute a copy of the rider to the
Letter of Representation in the form it appears today except that the
reference to the SRO Requirement will be deleted.
    DTC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations there under
because eliminating the unnecessary SRO Requirement will remove an
impediment to the perfection of the

mechanism of a national system for the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of securities transactions.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on competition.

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

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received. DTC will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by DTC.

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

    Within thirty-five days of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the
Commission may designate up to ninety days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse
or negative comments, and, therefore, issues it as a direct final rule.
The FAA has determined that this rule only involves an established body
of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally current. Unless a written adverse
or negative comment or a written notice of intent to submit an adverse
comment is received within the comment period, the regulation will
become effective on the date specified above. After the close of the
comment period, the FAA will publish a document in the Federal Register
indicating that no adverse or negative comments were received and
confirming the effective date. If the FAA receives, within the comment
period, an adverse or negative comment, or written notice of intent to
submit such a comment, a document withdrawing the direct final rule
will be published in the Federal Register, and notice of proposed
rulemaking may be published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

    Although this action is in the form of a direct final rule, and was
not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking, interested persons are
invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, view,
or arguments as they may desire. An electronic copy of this document
may be downloaded from and comments may be submitted and reviewed at
http://www.regulations.gov Recently published rulemaking documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov. or

the Federal Register's Web page at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html.
 Communications should identify both docket numbers and be

submitted in triplicate to the address specified under the caption
ADDRESSES above or through the website. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments will be considered, and this
rule may be amended or withdrawn in light of the comments received.
    Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might
suggest a need to modify the rule. Factual information that supports
the commenter's ideas and suggestions is extremely helpful in
evaluating the effectiveness of this action and determining whether
additional rulemaking action would be needed. All comments submitted
will be available, both before and after the closing date for comments,
in the Rules Docket for examination by interested persons. Those
wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments submitted in
response to this rule must submit a self-addressed, stamped postcard on
which the following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-
2008-0065; Airspace Docket No. 08-ANE-96.'' The postcard will be date
stamped and returned to the commenter.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Carrabassett, ME providing the
controlled airspace required to support the new Copter Area Navigation
(RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) 272 Point in Space (PinS)
approach developed for the Sugarloaf Regional Airport. Controlled
airspace, known as Class E5 airspace, extending upward from 700 feet
Above Ground Level (AGL) is required for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations and to encompass all Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs)
to the extent practical, therefore, the FAA is amending Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish a 6-mile radius
Class E5 airspace at Carrabassett, ME. Designations for Class E
airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface
of the Earth are published in FAA Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007
effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

Agency Findings

    The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of government. Therefore, it is
determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132.
    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 will only affect 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.
    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 establishes controlled airspace near the Sugarloaf Regional
Airport in Carrabassett, ME.

Effect of lead on human semen.

Chowdhury AR, Chinoy NJ, Gautam AK, Rao RV, Parikh DJ, Shah GM, Highland HN,
Patel KG, Chatterjee BB.

Semen qualities were studied in workers with an average age of 30 years and
occupationally exposed to lead in a printing press. Another sample with the same
average age but not exposed to lead were taken as control subjects. The average
lead content in blood and seminal plasma of the exposed group were 42.5 mcg/100
ml and 14.80 mcg/100 ml, respectively. Their sperm counts and percentage of
motile sperm were significantly affected. Significantly higher percentages of
abnormal spermatozoa were also observed in these semen samples. The levels of
seminal acid phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, and fructose in them were also
significantly found to be low compared with those from the unexposed subjects.
Cytochemical study of sperm head DNA in the exposed groups showed a low surface
reaction.
