[Docket No. FDA-2016-N-0011]

21 CFR Chapter I

Change of Address; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending our  regulations to reflect a change in the address for the Center for Food  Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN). This action is editorial in  nature and is intended to improve the accuracy of our regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective July 29, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Reilly, Center for Food Safety  and Applied Nutrition (HFS-024), Food and Drug Administration, 5001  Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are amending our regulations in 21 CFR  parts 1, 5, 70, 71, 73, 80, 100, 101, 102, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110,  112, 117, 118, 130, 161, 170, 171, 172, 173, 175, 176, 177, 178, 180,  181, 184, 189, 190, 211, 507, 701, 710, 720, and 1250 to reflect a  change in the address for CFSAN. The street address listed currently in  our regulations for CFSAN is 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD  20740. The street has been renamed and the street number has been  changed; the new street address is 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD  20740. Consequently, we are amending our regulations to reflect the new  street address.     Publication of this document constitutes final action on these  changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Notice  and public procedure are unnecessary because we are merely updating the  street address for CFSAN.

EPA REGISTRATION DIVISION COMPANY NOTICE OF FILING FOR PESTICIDE
PETITIONS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER

Tolerance Petition for EPTC in Forage and Hay of Grass Grown for Seed

EPA Registration Division contact: Jim Tompkins,703-305-5697

Gowan Company

[9F7620]

	EPA has received a pesticide petition ([9F7620]) from Gowan Company,
370 S. Main Street, Yuma, AZ  85364, proposing, pursuant to section
408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a tolerance for
residues of S-Ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate in or on the raw agricultural
commodity grasses grown for seed at 0.1 parts per million (ppm) for hay
and 0.2 parts per million (ppm) for forage.  EPA has determined that the
petition contains data or information regarding the elements set forth
in section 408 (d)(2) of  FDDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated
the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data
supports granting of the petition. Additional data may be needed before
EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry

	1. Plant metabolism. EPTC is systemic and rapidly metabolized in
plants.  Based on results of acceptable plant metabolism studies, the
Agency has determined that EPTC and three hydroxy metabolites, EPTC
sulfoxide, EPTC sulfone, and glutathione conjugate of the sulfone
metabolite will serve as markers to represent EPTC residues in plants.

	2. Analytical method. Adequate methods are available for the
determination of EPTC and three hydroxy metabolites in crops, including
grass grown for seed. The EPA reviewed these methods and noted in the
1999 EPTC Reregistration  Eligibility Decision (RED) that methods are
available and adequate. The Limit of Quantitation of the methods is 0.05
ppm for EPTC and 0.01 ppm for each of the hydroxy metabolites.

	3. Magnitude of residues. Maximum residues of EPTC and metabolites in
hay and forage in three applicable MOR trials were 0.0819 ppm for hay
and 0.152 ppm for forage.  A permanent tolerance of 0.1 ppm for hay and
0.2 for forage are proposed and adequately supported for use in cool
season grasses grown for seed in the Pacific Northwest (Washington,
Oregon and Idaho).

B. Toxicological Profile

	1. Acute toxicity.  EPTC is moderately toxic (Toxicity Category III)
via the oral and dermal routes, and in a primary eye irritation study in
rabbits, the technical was found to be slightly irritating (Toxicity
Category III). EPTC is most toxic via the inhalation route (Toxicity
Category II).

	2. Genotoxicty. Testing of EPTC for genotoxicity through an in vivo
micronucleus test and a Drosophila sex-linked recessive lethal mutation
assay gave negative results.

	3. Reproductive and developmental toxicity. There does not appear to be
concern about the reproductive or developmental toxicity of EPTC.
Studies in rats and rabbits showed developmental and reproductive
toxicity only in the presence of maternal or parental toxicity.  In a
two generation reproduction test in rats, effects in the offspring were
observed only at or above treatment levels which resulted in parental
toxicity. Although EPTC did not produce any significant reproductive or
developmental toxicity, the Agency recommended a 10X safety factor be
applied for potential exposure to infants and children in residential
use.

	4. Subchronic toxicity.  An acceptable subchronic study was reviewed by
EPA  and established a NOAEL at 600ppm (15 mkg/kg/day) in male dogs and
1800 ppm (45 mg/kg/day) in females. The LOAEL for    In two
chronic/oncogenicity feeding studies and in 90-day feeding and
inhalation studies, all rats exhibited myocardial degeneration during
the histopathology examination (Mackenzie, 1986; U.S. EPA, 1999). In
dogs, two chronic oral dosing studies revealed degenerative changes in
the cardiac muscle when EPTC was administered in a capsule, but not when
it was administered at comparable doses in the diet. Electrocardiograms
were performed in both dog studies; however, only one high-dose male in
the capsule study exhibited changes which were described as
"potentially" treatment-related (U.S. EPA, 1999)

	5. Chronic toxicity. Cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity were observed in
subchronic studies in rats.  Cardiotoxicity was attributed to myocardial
degeneration by histological exam.  However, the acute neurotoxicity
study in the hen did not show neurotoxicity.  The Agency’s FQPA Safety
Factor Committee recommends that a 10X safety factor be retained for all
population subgroups for acute, chronic and residential exposure
assessments.

	6. Animal metabolism. The metabolism of EPTC in rats was studied using
radiolabeled EPTC.  Most of the radioactivity was quickly excreted in
the urine and there was little accumulation in tissues.  Small amounts
were excreted in the feces by exhalation.  No sex-linked difference in
metabolism or distribution of EPTC was noted.

	7. Metabolite toxicology. The Agency has determined that metabolites
incorporating the thiocarbamate moiety are of concern.  These residues
include various acid conjugates.  Therefore, EPTC tolerances are based
on residue data of EPTC and its hydroxylated metabolites.

	8. Endocrine disruption. There is no evidence of endocrine disruptor
effects in the EPTC database.

C. Aggregate Exposure

	1. Dietary exposure. Tolerances have been established in 40 CFR 180.117
for the residues of EPTC in or on a variety of raw agricultural
commodities.  The addition of the proposed use on cool season grasses
grown for seed would not affect the current EPA risk assessment as no
residues are expected in meat or milk. Risk assessments were performed
to assess dietary exposures from EPTC in food as follows:

	i. Food. Acute and chronic risk from food does not exceed the Agency's
level of concern. In both assessments, exposure (consumption) was
compared to a population adjusted dose (PAD) reflecting retention of the
FQPA 10x factor. The PAD is equal to the acute or chronic RfD divided by
the FQPA Safety Factor. The Agency considers dietary residue
contributions greater than 100% of the PAD to be of concern. Acute
dietary exposure comprised 40.5% of the aPAD for the general population,
and 87.5% of the aPAD for the most highly exposed subgroup, children
(1-6 years). Chronic dietary exposure comprised 9.6% of the cPAD for the
general population, and 17.4% of the cPAD for the most highly exposed
subgroup, children (1-6 years). Acute dietary risk analysis demonstrates
acceptable food risk to the US population and all dietary subgroups.
The acute dietary Margin of Exposure for the general population remains
approximately 9000 based on a Tier 1 DEEM-FCID analysis as the proposed
use will not affect dietary risk.  EPTC residues in milk and meat
“represents a Category 3 situation under 40CFR §180.6(a): i.e., a
situation in which it is not possible to establish with certainty
whether finite residues will be incurred under reasonable worst-case
exposure scenarios, but there is no reasonable expectations of the
occurrence of finite residues in animal commodities.”

	ii. Drinking water. Estimation of drinking water levels for EPTC did
not result in levels of concern.

	2. Non-dietary exposure. Exposures by non-dietary means were determined
to be not of concern in the EPTC RED.

D. Cumulative Effects

	The Agency has determined that thiocarbamates cannot be regulated as a
single class due to differing neurotoxic activity patterns. Due to
incomplete information regarding developmental neurotoxicity, EPA has
retained the 10X FQPA Safety Factor.

E. Safety Determination

	1. U.S. population. The proposed use of EPTC on cool season grasses
grown for seed use results in exposures to the general population and
all subpopulations that are within acceptable ranges.

	2. Infants and children. Risk calculations for the proposed grass grown
for seed use result in acceptable exposures.  The Agency has retained a
10X FQPA safety factor in the toxicological endpoints for EPTC which was
included in the calculation of exposures.

F. International Tolerances

	There are no international MRLs currently established for EPTC.

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by modifying Class D airspace at Altus AFB, Altus,
OK. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to procedural changes
implemented to enhance safety for aircraft operating in the vicinity of
Altus/Quartz Mountain Regional Airport. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the
airport.
    Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 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 D airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 would modify controlled airspace at Altus AFB, OK.

Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. (Type Certificate
Currently Held by AgustaWestland S.p.A) (Agusta) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta
Model A109A, A109AII, and A109C helicopters with a certain third stage
turbine wheel installed. This AD requires installing a placard on the
instrument panel and revising the limitations section of the rotorcraft
flight manual (RFM). This AD was prompted by several incidents of third
stage engine turbine wheel failures, which were caused by excessive
vibrations at certain engine speeds during steady-state operations.
These actions are intended to alert pilots to avoid certain engine
speeds during steady-state operations, prevent failure of the third
stage engine turbine, engine power loss, and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective December 5, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of December 5,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On June 20, 2013, at 78 FR 37162, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Agusta Model A109A,
A109AII, and A109C helicopters with a third stage turbine wheel, part
number (P/N) 23065833, installed. The NPRM proposed to require
installing a placard on the instrument panel adjacent to the engine and
rotor RPM power turbine (N2) indicator and revising the Operating
Limitations sections of the Model A109A, A109AII, and A109C RFMs to
limit steady-state operations between speeds of 95% and 97%. The
proposed requirements were intended to alert pilots to avoid certain
engine speeds during steady-state operations, prevent failure of the
third stage engine turbine, engine power loss, and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2009-0037-E, dated February 19,
2009, issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is
the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued AD No. 2009-0037-E to correct an unsafe condition for Agusta
Model A109A, A109AII, and A109C helicopters with a Rolls Royce
Corporation (RRC) engine Model 250-C20B or 250-C20R/1 having a third
stage turbine wheel P/N 23065833 installed. EASA advises that following
several third stage turbine wheel failures, the engine type

certificate holder, RRC, issued Commercial Engine Bulletin (CEB) A-1400
Revision 3, dated January 19, 2009 (CEB A-1400), to introduce an
operational limitation on the power turbine (N2) speed range (95% to
97%) for more than 60 seconds in single or cumulative events for
engines with the third stage turbine wheel P/N 23065833, installed.
    The EASA AD requires amending the RFMs and installing a placard as
described in Agusta Bollettino Tecnico No. 109-129, dated February 16,
2009 (BT 109-129). The EASA AD also states to avoid steady-state
operation in the 95% to 97% N2 range for more than 60 seconds, and
requires the corrective actions of CEB A-1400 if that limitation is
exceeded.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM (78 FR 37162,
June 20, 2013).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, EASA, its technical representative,
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. We
are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by
EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist
or develop on other helicopters of these same type designs and that air
safety and the public interest require adopting the AD requirements as
proposed.

Related Service Information

    Agusta has issued BT 109-129, which contains procedures for
installing a placard on the instrument panel below or near the engine
and rotor RPM power turbine (N2) indicator and for inserting the RFM
changes into the flight manual.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 40 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Based on an average labor rate of $85 per hour, we estimate
that operators will incur the following costs in order to comply with
this AD. Amending the RFM will require about 0.25 work-hour, for a cost
per helicopter of about $22 and a cost to U.S. operators of $880.
Installing the decal will require about 0.2 work-hours, and required
parts will cost about $5, for a cost per helicopter of $22 and a cost
to U.S. operators of $880. Based on these estimates, the total cost of
this AD will be $44 per helicopter and $1,760 for the U.S. operator
fleet.

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 helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) 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 an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    In the Federal Register of August 24, 2000 (65 FR 51612) (FRL-6739-
1), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408 of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a as amended by the Food
Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) (Public Law 104-170) announcing
the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 9F5058) for a tolerance by Rohm
and Haas Company, 100 Independence Mall West, Philadelphia, PA 19108-
2399. This notice included a summary of the petition prepared by Rohm
and Haas, the registrant. There were no comments received in response
to the notice of filing. A correction to the notice of filing was
published in the Federal Register of December 15, 2000 (65 FR 78490)
(FRL-6756-3).
    The petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by
establishing a tolerance for combined residues of the fungicide
zoxamide, 3,5-dichloro-N-(3-chloro-1-ethyl-1-methyl-2-oxopropyl)-4-
methylbenzamide, and its metabolites, in or on tomatoes and cucurbit,
vegetable group 9 at 2.0 parts per million (ppm). EPA established the
requested tolerances in 40 CFR 180.567(a)(2) (66 FR 49110, September
26, 2001, FRL-6803-7).
    This rule amends 40 CFR 180.567 by taking the tomato and vegetable,
cucurbit, group 9 tolerances out of Sec.  180.567(a)(2) and placing
them in Sec.  180.567(a)(1). This change corrects an error made at the
time the tomato and vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 tolerance were
established. Prior to establishing those tolerances the Agency had
determined that the residue of concern in connection with the use of
zoxamide on tomatoes and cucurbits is only the parent compound
zoxamide, not zoxamide and its metabolites. EPA mistakenly, however,
established the tomato and cucurbits tolerances in Sec.  180.567(a)(2)
which applies to tolerances for residues of zoxamide and its
metabolites instead of Sec.  180.567(a)(1) which applies to tolerances
of zoxamide only.
    The relevant metabolism data shows that the parent compound,
zoxamide, is the major residue component identified in cucumber fruit
(representing about 87% of total residues), cucumber foliage
(representing about 92% of total residues), green tomatoes
(representing about 48% of total residues), and red tomatoes
(representing about 44% of total residues). In addition, only residues
of zoxamide exceeded 10% of the total residues in all cucumber matrices
and tomato samples. In comparison, most metabolite residues were
present at less than 5% of the total residues. The low level of
metabolites that are present in these commodities was taken into
account when assessing the risk of zoxamide exposure. It was not deemed
appropriate, however, to include the metabolites in the tolerances for
tomatoes and cucurbits because the amounts detected were so low.
    As a result of this amendment the listed tolerance levels (in
``ppm'') on tomato (2.0 ppm) and vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 (1.0
ppm), are not being changed. The existing tolerances in 180.567(a)(2)
for potato, tuber; potato, granule/flakes; and potato, wet peel are not
being revised because EPA has determined that for these commodities the
tolerance expression should be written in terms of the combined
residues of the parent compound zoxamide and its metabolites.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    This action is taken pursuant to EPA's initiative under FFDCA
section 408(e), 201 U.S.C. 346a(e).

III. Direct Final Rule Procedures

    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no
adverse comment. This Direct Final Rule will be effective August 30,
2006 without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comment
by July 31, 2006. If EPA receives adverse comment on this rulemaking,
the Agency will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register and
will publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in a further issue of the
Federal Register. The Agency will address the comments as part of that
proposed rulemaking.
    If EPA receives no adverse comment and this regulation becomes
effective August 30, 2006, any person will have 60 days from that date
to file objections to the rule as specified in Unit I.C.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Exexcutive Order 12866

    This direct final rule implements minor changes to 40 CFR part 180.
Since this direct final rule does not impose any new requirements it is
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review
(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This direct final rule does not contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Since this action makes minor changes to 40 CFR part 180, that do
no more than ensure that two commodities are not incorrectly deemed to
be in noncompliance with their respective tolerances, EPA certifies
this action will not have significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. There will be no adverse impact on small
entities resulting from this action. The requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Reform Act
of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).

E. Executive Order 13132

    The Agency has determined that this action will not have a
substantial direct effect on 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, as specified
in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to develop an accountable
process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by State and local
officials in the development of regulatory policies that have
federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have

federalism implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include
regulations that 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 the various levels
of government.'' This action does not alter the relationships or
distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress.

F. Executive Order 13175

    The Agency has determined that this rule does not have any ``tribal
implications'' as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to
develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input
by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have
tribal implications.'' This direct final rule will not have substantial
direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes,
as specified in Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does
not apply to this rule.

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and the Comptroller General of the United
States. 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 rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 232

[Release Nos. 33-9849; 34-75242; 39-2504; IC-31680]

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual and related rules to reflect
updates to the EDGAR system. The updates are being made primarily to
add new submission form types N-CR and N-CR/A for Current Report of
Money Market Fund Material Events; update submission form types ABS-15G
and ABS-15G/A for Asset-backed securities reporting based on Rule 15Ga-
2; no longer display OMB expiration date on submission form types 13F
and 13H; no longer provide support for the 2013 US GAAP financial
reporting and 2013 EXCH taxonomies; documentation only corrections to
Chapter 3, ``Index to Forms,'' of the ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
EDGAR Filing,'' which include adding submission types 8-K12B and 8-
K12B/A to Table 3-3, ``Securities Exchange Act--Registration and Report
Submission Types Accepted by EDGAR''; and documentation only changes to
``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'' for Section 508
compliance. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support
this functionality on June 15, 2015.

DATES: Effective June 29, 2015. The incorporation by reference of the
EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal Register
as of June 29, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In the Division of Corporate Finance,
for questions concerning Form ABS-15G, contact Heather Mackintosh at
(202) 551-8111, in the Division of Investment Management, for questions
concerning Form N-CR, contact Heather Fernandez at<PHONE_NUMBER>, and
in the Office of Information Technology, contact Tammy Borkowski at
(202) 551-7208.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume II. The Filer Manual describes the technical formatting
requirements for the preparation and submission of electronic filings
through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also describes the requirements for
filing using EDGARLink Online and the Online Forms/XML Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993,
with an effective date of April 26, 1993. Release No. 33-6986 (April
1, 1993) [58 FR 18638]. We implemented the most recent update to the
Filer Manual on May 11, 2015. See Release No. 33-9773 (May 26, 2015)
[80 FR 29942].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume II
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 32
(June 2015). The updated manual will be incorporated by reference into
the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for
filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system. Filers must comply
with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic
format.\2\ Filers may consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with our
rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents for
electronic submission.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
    \3\ See Release No. 33-9773 in which we implemented EDGAR
Release 15.1.1. For additional history of Filer Manual rules, please
see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 15.2 on June 15, 2015
and will introduce the following changes:
    EDGAR will be updated to add new submission form types N-CR and N-
CR/A to EDGARLink Online. These new submission form types can be
accessed by selecting the `EDGARLink Online Form Submission' link on
the EDGAR Filing Web site. Additionally, filers can construct XML
submissions for these submission form types by following the
``EDGARLink Online XML Technical Specification'' document available on
the SEC's Public Web site (http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml).
    Submission form types ABS-15G and ABS-15G/A will be updated based
on final Rule 15Ga-2.
    The OMB expiration date will no longer be displayed on submission
form types 13F-HR, 13F-HR/A, 13F-NT, 13F-NT/A, 13H, 13H-A, 13H-Q, 13H-
I, 13H-T, and 13H-R.
    EDGAR will no longer provide support for the US-GAAP-2013 and EXCH-
2013 taxonomies. Please see http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml for a complete listing of supported standard
taxonomies.
    Documentation only corrections were made to Chapter 3, ``Index to
Forms,'' of the ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing,'' which
include adding submission types 8-K12B and 8-K12B/A to Table 3-3,
``Securities Exchange Act--Registration and Report Submission Types
Accepted by EDGAR.''
    Documentation only changes were made to ``EDGAR Filer Manual,
Volume II: EDGAR Filing'' for Section 508 compliance.
    Along with the adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule
301 of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference
into the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.
    The updated EDGAR Filer Manual will be available for Web site
viewing and printing; the address for the Filer Manual is http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. You may also obtain paper copies of the
EDGAR Filer Manual from the following address: Public Reference Room,
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington,
DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and
3:00 p.m.
    Since the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule changes relate
solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and
comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA).\4\ It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act \5\ do not apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \5\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments

is June 29, 2015. In accordance with the APA,\6\ we find that there is
good cause to establish an effective date less than 30 days after
publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to Release 15.2 is
scheduled to become available on June 15, 2015. The Commission believes
that establishing an effective date less than 30 days after publication
of these rules is necessary to coordinate the effectiveness of the
updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.
