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

    CME is filing proposed rules changes that are limited to its
business as a derivatives clearing organization. More specifically, the
proposed rule changes would make amendments to its rules

regarding CME's current Price Quality Auction settlement process for
CDS index products.

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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose 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 self-regulatory organization 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

    CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and currently offers clearing
services for many different futures and swaps products. With this
filing, CME proposes to make amendments that will affect its Price
Quality Auction (``PQA'') settlement process for Credit Default Swaps
(``CDS'') index products. Although these changes will be effective on
filing, CME plans to operationalize the proposed changes on September
9, 2013.
    The proposed change would be reflected in CME's Manual of
Operations for CME Credit Default Swaps (``CDS Manual''). The change
would allow CME to set the bid/ask spread for PQA submissions to a
configurable level based on historical price analysis. The change is
designed to make the configurable level more consistent with existing
market conditions by reducing the acceptable range, which will in turn
help ensure that settlement prices are not impacted by off market
submissions. This change should help enhance the quality of the PQA
process for determining settlement prices for CDS index products. The
proposed parameter changes do not otherwise materially affect the PQA
process.
    The changes that are described in this filing will only impact
CME's processes for clearing CDS index products. Thus, these changes
are limited to CME's business as a derivatives clearing organization
clearing products under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'') and do not materially impact
CME's security-based swap clearing business in any way. CME notes that
it has already submitted the proposed rule changes that are the subject
of this filing to its primary regulator, the CFTC, in CME Submission
13-295.
    CME believes the proposed rule changes are consistent with the
requirements of the Exchange Act including Section 17A of the Exchange
Act.\5\ The proposed rule changes are designed to enhance the quality
of CME's PQA process for determining settlement prices for CDS index
products and as such are designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent
applicable, derivatives agreements, contracts, and transactions, to
assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Exchange Act.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the proposed changes are limited in their effect to
swaps products offered under CME's authority to act as a derivatives
clearing organization. These products are under the exclusive
jurisdiction of the CFTC. As such, the proposed CME changes are limited
to CME's activities as a derivatives clearing organization clearing
swaps that are not security-based swaps; CME notes that the policies of
the CFTC with respect to administering the Commodity Exchange Act are
comparable to a number of the policies underlying the Exchange Act,
such as promoting market transparency for over-the-counter derivatives
markets, promoting the prompt and accurate clearance of transactions
and protecting investors and the public interest.
    Because the proposed changes are limited in their effect to swaps
products offered under CME's authority to act as a derivatives clearing
organization, the proposed changes are properly classified as effecting
a change in an existing service of CME that:
    (a) Primarily affects the clearing operations of CME with respect
to products that are not securities, including futures that are not
security futures, and swaps that are not security-based swaps or mixed
swaps; and
    (b) does not significantly affect any securities clearing
operations of CME or any rights or obligations of CME with respect to
securities clearing or persons using such securities-clearing service.
    As such, the changes are therefore consistent with the requirements
of Section 17A of the Exchange Act \7\ and are properly filed under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \9\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(4)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The rule changes simply
makes enhancements to CME's process for determining settlement prices
for CDS index products.

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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and paragraph (f)(4)(ii) of Rule 19b-4 \11\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

    Abstract: EPA administers certification programs for pesticide
applicators under section 11 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. FIFRA allows EPA to
classify a pesticide as ``restricted use'' if the pesticide meets
certain toxicity or risk criteria. The regulations in 40 CFR part 171
include procedures for certification programs for States, Federal
agencies, Indian tribes, or U.S. territories who wish to develop and
implement their own certification plans and programs, after obtaining
EPA approval. This ICR addresses the information collection activities
contained in the final rule revisions to 40 CFR part 171, issued in the
Federal Register on January 4, 2017 (82 FR 952) (FRL-9956-70). The ICR
estimates the incremental burden of the changes that were not already
included in the ICR entitled ``Certification of Pesticide Applicators''
as approved under OMB No: 2070-0029.
    The final rule revised 40 CFR part 171 to include new and revised
standards for certification for commercial and private applicators,
provisions for recertification of applicators, and training for
noncertified applicators applying restricted use pesticides (RUPs)
under the supervision of certified applicators. The rule also includes
changes to improve the clarity

and organization of 40 CFR part 171 and overall program operation. The
changes are intended to ensure that all persons who use RUPs--i.e.,
private applicators, commercial applicators, and noncertified
applicators using RUPs under the direct supervision of certified
applicators--are competent to use RUPs in a manner that will not result
in unreasonable adverse effects to themselves, others, or the
environment.
    This ICR estimates the burden and costs of the rule-related
information collection activities, including burden and cost estimates
related to initial rule familiarization activities.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Agricultural establishments, pest
control officials, pesticide registrants, pesticide dealers, and
administrators of environmental protection programs, governmental pest
control programs, pesticide applicator certification programs (e.g.,
authorized agencies), and RUP dealers (only for EPA administrated
programs).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, FIFRA sections 3 and
11.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,860,974 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 2,280,849 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $108,061,898 (per year), includes $0
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: Apart from updating the format of the ICR
to meet current format standards and a few minor changes, there are no
substantive changes from the ICR currently approved by OMB.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

I would like to amend the original request foe carbofuran to only the rice acerage in Louisiana where risk to crawfish is an issue. I propose to limit applications of carbofuran to six parishes in Southwest Louisiana ( Acadia, Jefferson Davis, Vermillion, Evangeline, Calcasieu and Saint Landry) which have approximately 293,000 acres of rice and 73,000 acres of crawfish ponds. In addition, I propose to limit these applications to only rice fields that are within 300 yards of a crawfish pond. Therefore, I would estimate that the total number of acres to be treated would not exceed 110,000 acres.

The request for Etofenprox would remain as the original request stated.

Abstract: Engine manufacturers must obtain a certificate of compliance with applicable emission standards before the start of production. Manufacturers are required to submit a description of the engine families and emission test data to demonstrate compliance. The Averaging, Trading and Banking program allows manufacturers to earn emission credits on cleaner engine families and use them later to certify engine families with emission levels above the standards. The average emissions of all the manufacturer's engine families participating in the program must not exceed the standards. Respondents are also required to conduct quality control audits ( PLT) and are subject to be audited by EPA ( SEAs).

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2152]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 25, 2021.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2152, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of

experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other pertinent sciences
established to review conflicting scientific and technical data and
provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the SRP only may be
exercised after FEMA and local communities have been engaged in a
collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days without a
mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional information
regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
