[Docket No. FAA-2023-2327]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Unmanned
Aircraft Remote Identification Message Elements

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves electronic information that is
broadcast directly from certain unmanned aircraft, specifically
standard remote identification unmanned aircraft and unmanned aircraft
equipped with a remote identification broadcast module. With certain
limited exceptions, the Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft rule
prohibits the operation of unmanned aircraft within the airspace of the
United States unless the unmanned aircraft are broadcasting certain
remote identification message elements throughout their operation. An
exception to the general rule is when an unmanned aircraft is not
equipped with remote identification equipment but is operated within
visual line of sight and within an FAA-recognized identification area.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 22, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into
search field).
    By mail: Benjamin Walsh, FAA Flight Standards Service, Emerging
Technologies Division, AFS-700, 800 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benjamin Walsh by email at: [email protected]; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0783.
    Title: Unmanned Aircraft Remote Identification Message Elements.
    Form Numbers: N/A.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Regulations for the Remote Identification of Unmanned
Aircraft were published on January 15, 2021, and are contained in 14
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 89. Requirements for the
operation of unmanned aircraft with remote identification are contained
in part 89, subpart B. The Remote Identification rule requires unmanned
aircraft with remote identification equipment to broadcast remote
identification message elements directly from the unmanned aircraft
using radio frequency spectrum in accordance with 47 CFR part 15, where
operations may occur without a Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
individual license. These unmanned aircraft include standard remote
identification unmanned aircraft and unmanned aircraft equipped with
remote identification broadcast modules.
    A standard remote identification unmanned aircraft must be capable
of broadcasting the following remote identification message elements:
    (a) The identity of the unmanned aircraft consisting of:
    (1) A serial number assigned to the unmanned aircraft by the person
responsible for the production of the standard remote identification
unmanned aircraft; or
    (2) A session ID.
    (b) An indication of the latitude and longitude of the control
station.
    (c) An indication of the geometric altitude of the control station.
    (d) An indication of the latitude and longitude of the unmanned
aircraft.
    (e) An indication of the geometric altitude of the unmanned
aircraft.
    (f) An indication of the velocity of the unmanned aircraft.
    (g) A time mark identifying the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
time of applicability of a position source output.
    (g) An indication of the emergency status of the unmanned aircraft.
    A remote identification broadcast module must be capable of
broadcasting the following remote identification message elements:

    (a) The identity of the unmanned aircraft consisting of the serial
number assigned to the remote identification broadcast module by the
person responsible for the production of the remote identification
broadcast module.
    (b) An indication of the latitude and longitude of the unmanned
aircraft.
    (c) An indication of the geometric altitude of the unmanned
aircraft.
    (d) An indication of the velocity of the unmanned aircraft.
    (e) An indication of the latitude and longitude of the take-off
location of the unmanned aircraft.
    (f) An indication of the geometric altitude of the take-off
location of the unmanned aircraft.
    (g) A time mark identifying the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
time of applicability of a position source output.
    The collection of this information in the remote identification
message elements is necessary to comply with the FAA's statutory
requirement to develop and implement standards for remotely identifying
operators and owners of unmanned aircraft. The collection of this
information will also provide airspace awareness to enable the FAA,
national security agencies, and law enforcement entities to distinguish
compliant airspace users from those potentially posing a safety or
security risk.
    The remote identification message elements that unmanned aircraft
operators are required to broadcast under Part 89 are considered
publicly available information. The remote identification message
elements broadcast directly from the unmanned can be received by anyone
who has the appropriate equipment, such as a personal wireless device,
that can receive broadcast messages.
    Respondents: The collection of information through the broadcasting
of message elements from a standard remote identification unmanned
aircraft or remote identification broadcast module is entirely
automatic. The collection uses automated, electronic, and related
technological collection techniques. This framework makes it relatively
simple and straightforward for individuals to comply with the broadcast
requirements by operating unmanned aircraft that are standard remote
identification unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft equipped with a
remote identification broadcast module.
    Frequency: Operators of unmanned aircraft with remote
identification are required to broadcast the remote identification
message elements addressed in this information collection on occasion
(when the unmanned aircraft with remote identification is operated in
the airspace of the United States).
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: To transmit remote
identification message elements, each remote pilot is required to
operate either a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or
unmanned aircraft equipped with a remote identification broadcast
module. The collection of information through the broadcasting of the
remote identification message elements is entirely automatic, therefore
there is no average burden associated with the broadcast of the remote
identification message elements.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The collection of information
through the broadcasting of the remote identification message elements
is entirely automatic, therefore there is no annual burden associated
with the broadcast of the remote identification message elements.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 17, 2023.

Manager, Emerging Technologies Division, AFS-700.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69122; File No. SR-CFE-2013-003]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; CBOE Futures Exchange, LLC; Notice
of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Regarding Reportable Position
Reporting of Security Futures by Non-Trading Privilege Holders

March 12, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(7) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on March 1, 2013 CBOE Futures
Exchange, LLC (``CFE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule
change described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items II and III
have been prepared by CFE. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
CFE also has filed this proposed rule change with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (``CFTC''). CFE filed a written certification with
the CFTC under Section 5c(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'')
\2\ on March 1, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(7).
    \2\ 7 U.S.C. 7a-2(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Description of the Proposed Rule
Change

    CFE proposes to add new subparagraph (b) to CFE Rule 412B
(Reportable Positions) to make clear that Persons \3\ that are not CFE
Trading Privilege Holders (``TPHs'') and that are required by CFTC
regulations to report to the CFTC reportable positions and related
information relating to CFE security futures contracts are obligated to
also report the foregoing reportable positions and related information
to CFE in a form and manner prescribed by CFE. CFE also proposes to
amend subparagraph (d) to CFE Rule 308 (Consent to Exchange
Jurisdiction) by adding CFE Rule 412B(b) to the list of CFE Rules that
are applicable to non-TPHs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ CFE Rule 155 defines the term ``Person'' to mean any natural
person, association, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust or corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The scope of this filing is limited solely to the application of
the rule changes to security futures traded on CFE. The only security
futures currently traded on CFE are traded under Chapter 16 of CFE's
Rulebook which is applicable to Individual Stock Based and Exchange-
Traded Fund Based Volatility Index (``Volatility Index'') security
futures.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.cfe.cboe.com, on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.sec.gov, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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, CFE 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. CFE 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 proposal is to add new subparagraph (b) to CFE
Rule 412B (Reportable Positions) to make clear that Persons that are
not CFE TPHs and that are required by CFTC regulations to report to the
CFTC reportable positions and related information relating to CFE
security futures contracts are obligated to also report the foregoing
reportable positions and related information to CFE in a form and
manner prescribed by CFE. CFE also proposes to amend subparagraph (d)
to CFE Rule 308 (Consent to Exchange Jurisdiction) by including a
citation to CFE Rule 412B(b) in the list of CFE Rules that are
applicable to non-TPHs.
    Under the CFTC's large trader reporting system (``LTRS''), futures
commission merchants and others are required to file daily reports with
the CFTC under Part 17 of the CFTC's regulations.\4\ There are two
components to the LTRS for all futures accounts. The first component is
a reporting of futures and options on futures positions of traders with
positions at or above specific reporting levels. The second component
is the filing of CFTC Form 102 (Identification of Special Accounts)
which is used to identify each new account that acquires a reportable
position.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 17 U.S.C. 15.03(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CFE Rule 412B already provides that TPHs are required to report to
CFE in a form and manner prescribed by CFE reportable positions and
related information relating to CFE contracts that TPHs are obligated
to report to the CFTC pursuant to CFTC regulations. However, CFE Rule
412B does not currently explicitly state that this requirement is
applicable to non-TPHs, such as foreign brokers, that are required to
report to the CFTC reportable security futures positions and related
information concerning to CFE contracts. The purpose of this proposal
is to make clear that this requirement would be applicable to those
parties.
    To affect this change, CFE proposes to add below new paragraph (b)
to CFE Rule 412B:
    (b) Any Person that is not a Trading Privilege Holder and that is
required to report to the [CFTC] pursuant to [CFTC] regulations
reportable positions and related information relating to Exchange
Contracts shall report the foregoing reportable positions and related
information to the Exchange in a form and manner prescribed by the
Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \6\ in particular in that it is designed
to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would
strengthen its ability to carry out its self-regulatory obligations.
Specifically, CFE needs to receive reportable positions and related
information in a form and manner that will allow its seamless
integration into the market surveillance program and systems utilized
by CFE and its regulatory services provider. The proposal will
facilitate CFE's ability to receive reportable positions and related
information related to CFE security futures contracts in this manner
from non-TPHs that are required to report this information to the CFTC.

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

    CFE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The Exchange

believes that the proposed rule change is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it makes clear that Persons that are not CFE
TPHs and that are required by CFTC regulations to report to the CFTC
reportable positions and related information relating to CFE contracts
are obligated to also report the foregoing reportable positions and
related information to CFE in a form and manner prescribed by CFE. This
is the same reporting requirement that applies that CFE TPHs.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The proposed rule change will become operative on March 18, 2013.
    At any time within 60 days of the date of effectiveness of the
proposed rule change, the Commission, after consultation with the CFTC,
may summarily abrogate the proposed rule change and require that the
proposed rule change be refiled in accordance with the provisions of
Section 19(b)(1) of the Act.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 to improve the
efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.

Incorporation by Reference

    Canadian Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph 2007 and
United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph 6011 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order
JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022.
These updates would be published in the next update to FAA Order JO
7400.11. That order is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend
Canadian Area Navigation routes Q-907 and Q-951; and to establish
United States Area Navigation route T-739, in cooperation with Nav
Canada for replacement of Computer Notification Fixes (CNF).

Replacement fixes would be relocated to lie on the U.S./Canada border.
This action is in support of the FAA's VOR MON Program. The purpose is
to enhance the efficiency of the NAS by transitioning from ground-based
navigation aids to a satellite-based navigation system. The proposed
changes are described below.
    Q-907: Q-907 is a proposed amended route that would extend from the
POSTS, MI, waypoint (WP) to the IMAMA, ME, WP. This proposed amended
route replaces CNF with pronounceable WP names as well as moving
multiple WPs to lie on the U.S./Canada border.
    Q-951: Q-951 is a proposed amended route that would extend from the
POSTS, MI, WP to the DANOL, ME, WP. This proposed amended route
replaces CNF with pronounceable WP names as well as moving multiple WPs
to lie on the U.S./Canadian border.
    T-739: T-739 is a proposed new route that would extend from the
KATEK, NY, WP to the DANOL, ME, WP. This proposed route overlays a
portion of VOR Federal airway V-300 from the CAMPO, ME, WP to the
DANOL, ME, WP.

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 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.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2014-E-0155]

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; OSENI

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for OSENI and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of an application to the Director of the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Department of Commerce, for the
extension of a patent which claims that human drug product.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written petitions (two copies are required) and written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
Submit petitions electronically to http://www.regulations.gov at Docket
No. FDA-2013-S-0610.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of
Management, Food and Drug Administration, 10001 New Hampshire Ave.,
Hillandale Bldg., Rm. 3180, Silver Spring, MD 20993,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of USPTO may award
(for example, half the testing phase must be subtracted as well as any
time that may have occurred before the patent was issued), FDA's
determination of the length of a regulatory review period for a human
drug product will include all

of the testing phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C.
156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human drug product OSENI
(alogliptin benzoate and pioglitazone hydrochloride). OSENI is
indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic
control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subsequent to this
approval, the USPTO received a patent term restoration application for
OSENI (U.S. Patent No. 6,329,404) from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company
Limited, and the USPTO requested FDA's assistance in determining this
patent's eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated May
2, 2014, FDA advised the USPTO that this human drug product had
undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of OSENI
represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the
product. Thereafter, the USPTO requested that FDA determine the
product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
OSENI is 2,482 days. Of this time, 895 days occurred during the testing
phase of the regulatory review period, while 1,587 days occurred during
the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became
effective: April 12, 2006. The applicant claims April 13, 2006, as the
date the investigational new drug application (IND) became effective.
However, FDA records indicate that the IND effective date was April 12,
2006, which was 30 days after FDA receipt of the IND.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: September
22, 2008. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) for OSENI (NDA 22-426) was submitted on September 22,
2008.
    3. The date the application was approved: January 25, 2013. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 22-426 was approved on January
25, 2013.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO
applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual
period for patent extension. In its application for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 1,826 days of patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by July 6, 2015. Furthermore, any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period
by November 3, 2015. To meet its burden, the petition must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857, part
1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the
format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written or
electronic petitions. It is only necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. If you submit a written petition, two copies
are required. A petition submitted electronically must be submitted to
http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610.
    Comments and petitions that have not been made publicly available
on http://www.regulations.gov may be viewed in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Proposed Determination on the Appropriateness of the Model Year
2022-2025 Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards Under
the Midterm Evaluation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of a proposed order.

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

SUMMARY: On or about November 30, 2016, the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) made available for public comment its proposed
adjudicatory determination that the GHG standards currently in place
for MY2022-2025 remain appropriate under the Clean Air Act and
therefore should not be amended to be either more or less stringent.
EPA made this Proposed Determination as part of its Midterm Evaluation
of light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for
model years (MY) 2022-2025, as required under its regulations. The
Proposed Determination follows a Draft Technical Assessment Report
(TAR) issued jointly by EPA, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
in July 2016. In the Draft TAR, the agencies examined a wide range of
issues relevant to the appropriateness of the GHG emissions standards
for MY2022-2025, and shared with the public its initial technical
analyses of those issues. The Draft TAR was required by EPA's
regulations as the first step in the Midterm Evaluation process. For
the next step, the Proposed Determination, EPA has considered public
comments submitted on the Draft TAR as well as other information, and
has updated its analyses where appropriate. EPA will again consider
public comments received on the Proposed Determination as it proceeds
with the final step in the Midterm Evaluation, a Final Determination
regarding the appropriateness of the MY2022-2025 standards.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 30, 2016. See
the ADDRESSES and SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for more
information about how to submit comments and where to find the Proposed
Determination and related materials.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2015-0827 to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. The
EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not
submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must
be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you
wish to make. The EPA will not

consider comments or comment contents located outside of the submission
to the official dockets (i.e., located elsewhere on the web, cloud, or
in another file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the
full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation

    The Proposed Determination and related materials are available in
the public docket noted above and at https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and-engines/midterm-evaluation-light-duty-vehicle-ghg-emissions. EPA requests comment on the Proposed Determination. This
section describes how you can participate in this process.

1. How do I prepare and submit comments?

    Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0827. EPA's
policy is that all comments received will be included in the public
docket without change and may be made available online at
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute.
    Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected through www.regulations.gov or email. The www.regulations.gov
Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the
body of your comment. If you send an email comment directly to EPA
without going through www.regulations.gov, your email address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments

    When submitting comments, remember to:
     Identify the action by docket number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number);
     Explain why you agree or disagree, suggest alternatives,
and substitute language for your requested changes;
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used;
     If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced;
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives;
     Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
use of profanity or personal threats.
    Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline
identified in the DATES section above.

3. How do I submit confidential business information?

    Do not submit CBI to EPA through http://www.regulations.gov or
email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim
to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD ROM that you mail to
EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
    In addition, you should submit a copy from which you have deleted
the claimed confidential business information to the Docket by one of
the methods set forth above.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63606; File No. PCAOB 2010-01]

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; Order Approving
Proposed Rules on Auditing Standards Related to the Auditor's
Assessment of and Response to Risk and Related Amendments to PCAOB
Standards

December 23, 2010.

I. Introduction

    On September 15, 2010, the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (the ``Board'' or the ``PCAOB'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') a notice (the ``Notice'') of
proposed rules (File No. PCAOB 2010-01) on Auditing Standards Related
to the Auditor's Assessment of and Response to Risk and Related
Amendments to PCAOB Standards. Those eight auditing standards
(hereinafter referred to as ``Risk Assessment Standards''), which will
supersede six of the Board's interim auditing standards, are:
     Auditing Standard (``AS'') No. 8, Audit Risk;
     AS No. 9, Audit Planning;
     AS No. 10, Supervision of the Audit Engagement;
     AS No. 11, Consideration of Materiality in Planning and
Performing an Audit;
     AS No. 12, Identifying and Assessing Risks of Material
Misstatement;
     AS No. 13, The Auditor's Responses to the Risks of
Material Misstatement;
     AS No. 14, Evaluating Audit Results; and
     AS No. 15, Audit Evidence.

Notice of the proposed rules was published in the Federal Register on
September 27, 2010.\1\ The Commission received two comment letters
relating to the proposed rules. For the reasons discussed below, the
Commission is granting approval of the proposed rules. As specified by
the Board, the rules are effective for audits of fiscal years beginning
on or after December 15, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\  See Release No. 34-62919 (September 15, 2010) [75 FR 59332
(September 27, 2010)]. The notice included a 21-day comment period.
The comment period closed on October 18, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    The Board adopted eight auditing standards and related amendments
that are designed to benefit investors by establishing requirements
that enhance the effectiveness of the auditor's assessment of and
response to the risks of material misstatement in an audit. Assessing
and responding to risks underlies the entire audit process. The risk
assessment standards that the PCAOB is replacing were part of the
Board's interim standards and were in large part written twenty to
thirty years ago. In adopting the new Risk Assessment Standards, the
Board intended to build upon and improve the risk framework that was
already established by the interim standards, rather than replacing
that framework altogether.
    Changes that the Board made to the interim standards reflect:
Improvements that the PCAOB has observed in the audit methodologies of
many registered firms; recommendations from academia; recommendations
from the Board's Standing Advisory Group (``SAG'') and other groups;
the adoption of AS No. 5, An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting That is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements;
improvements made to similar risk assessment standards by other
standard setters (e.g., the International Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board (``IAASB'') and the Auditing Standards Board (``ASB'')
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants); and
observations from the Board's oversight activities.
    Key changes made to the standards include an increased emphasis on
fraud risks, an increased emphasis on disclosures, inclusion of multi-
location audit requirements, an alignment of the standards with AS No.
5, and inclusion of a concept of materiality more specifically grounded
to that used in the Federal securities laws.

III. Discussion

    The Commission received two comment letters: One from Deloitte &
Touche, LLP (``Deloitte'') and one from the Center for Capital Markets
Competitiveness of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (``CMCC''). Deloitte
supported approval of the standards, while expressing certain concerns
largely of a more general nature regarding the PCAOB's approach to
standard-setting. The CMCC believed that the Risk Assessment Standards
should not be approved, but rather sent back to the PCAOB in order for
the PCAOB to address certain concerns, most of which also related to
the PCAOB's overall approach to standard-setting as opposed to the
particular standards at issue.

Integration of Fraud Risk Standard Into the Risk Assessment Standards

    One of the significant changes to the Risk Assessment Standards was
the incorporation of aspects of AU sec. 316, Consideration of Fraud in
a Financial Statement Audit, into the Risk Assessment Standards. In
explaining why the PCAOB incorporated portions of the fraud standard
into the Risk Assessment Standards, it stated that:

    Incorporating these requirements makes clear that the auditor's
responsibilities for assessing and responding to fraud risks are an
integral part of the audit process rather than a separate, parallel
process. It also benefits investors by prompting auditors to make a
more thoughtful and thorough assessment of fraud risks and to
develop appropriate audit responses.\2\

    The CCMC did not agree with the level of integration. The CCMC made
a similar comment during the PCAOB's due process stage, which the Board
addressed in its adopting release. This comment largely relates to a
disagreement as to the manner in which the standards are constructed,
as compared to the performance required of auditors. The Commission
believes that the PCAOB has given due consideration to the comments
received about this matter.

Effective Date

    The effective date of the standards will be for audits of fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The CMCC expressed
concern about the effective date, stating that the effective date
``would not allow adequate time for audit firms to revise their audit
methodologies and train their audit staffs around the world for audits
in 2011.'' In response to similar concerns raised in its comment letter
process, including from the CCMC, the PCAOB stated in its release that
the underlying concepts of risk-based auditing have not changed, and
therefore, while there are many incremental requirements in the updated
standards, these standards should not require wholesale changes to
audit methodologies.\3\ Any delay in the effective date of these
standards would likely delay the implementation for most issuers for at
least one year (e.g., the standards would not be applicable generally
until calendar year 2012 audits related to audit reports to be issued
in 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ PCAOB Release No. 2010-004, August 5, 2010, p. 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After considering the nature of the changes in the Risk Assessment
Standards, the timing of Commission approval, and the fact that the
standards will not be applicable to audits for which audit reports will
be issued in 2011 (i.e., the first audit reports issued for which
audits would be required to be conducted using the new standards would
not be issued until 2012) we believe the PCAOB's approach for
implementation is not unreasonable.

PCAOB Standard-Setting Process

    Both commenters noted various concerns about the PCAOB's standard-
setting process. The concerns identified included divergence from other
standard-setters, what the commenters viewed as a ``prescriptive''
nature of the standards, the lack of a codification of PCAOB standards,
the usefulness of the appendix that compares the PCAOB proposed
standard to the similar standards of other standard-setters, and the
use of certain terms in the standards. These comments all relate more
to the PCAOB's overall approach to standard-setting than particular
concerns with respect to the individual Risk Assessment Standards.
    All of these comments are similar to those received by the PCAOB
during its standard-setting process, which the Board addressed. For
example with respect to divergence from other standard-setters, the
Board noted the following:

    In previous releases on its proposed risk assessment standards,
the Board has stated that it has sought to eliminate unnecessary
differences with the risk assessment standards and those of other
standards-setters. However, because the Board's standards must be
consistent with the Board's statutory mandate, differences will
continue to exist between the Board's standards and the standards of
the IAASB and ASB, e.g., when the Board decides to retain an
existing requirement in PCAOB standards that is not included in
IAASB or ASB standards. Also, certain differences are often
necessary for the Board's standards to be consistent with relevant
provisions of the federal securities laws or other existing
standards or rules of the Board.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See PCAOB Release No. 2010-004, August 5, 2010, pp. A10-91--
A10-92 (internal footnotes omitted).

The Board also noted that it ``continually endeavors to improve its
processes'' and explained other initiatives it uses in both gaining
input on its standard-setting activities (e.g., through its SAG and by
releasing multiple exposure documents) and providing additional
transparency of its standards-setting process (e.g., through posting
its standards-setting agenda and enhanced discussions in its releases
on the Board's conclusions). The Commission notes and encourages the
Board's efforts to consider standards issued by the IAASB and the ASB,
and appreciates the reasons why it is reasonable to expect that the
Board's standards may appropriately differ from such standards. The
Commission and its staff will continue to provide oversight of the
Board and its staff's ongoing endeavor to improve its processes.
    Regarding the ``prescriptive'' nature of the standards, we
recognize that there should be an appropriate balance in auditing
standards between providing necessary minimum requirements and allowing
auditors to apply judgment in determining the nature and extent of
audit procedures given the particular circumstances of an individual
engagement. PCAOB standards recognize that the auditor uses judgment in
planning and performing audit procedures and evaluating the evidence
obtained from those procedures. We recognize, however, that overly
broad standards without an appropriate balance of necessary
requirements could lead to a level of discretion in the nature and
extent of audit procedures that may limit the effectiveness of audits.
The Commission believes the PCAOB's approach in the Risk Assessment
Standards is not unreasonable and encourages the PCAOB to monitor
implementation and evaluate the input received during the development
of future standards to continue to strive to achieve an optimal
balance.
    Regarding a codification of the auditing standards, the Commission
notes that the Board has recently added this project to its strategic
plan and amended its performance measure on standard-setting activities
to reflect this new initiative.

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposed PCAOB Rules on Auditing Standards Related to the Auditor's
Assessment of and Response to Risk and Related Amendments to PCAOB
Standards (File No. PCAOB-2010-01) are consistent with the requirements
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the ``Act'') and the
securities laws and are necessary or appropriate in the public interest
or for the protection of investors.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 107 of the Act and
Section 19(b)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the
proposed PCAOB Rules on Auditing Standards Related to the Auditor's
Assessment of and Response to Risk and Related Amendments to PCAOB
Standards (File No. PCAOB-2010-01) be and hereby are approved.

    By the Commission.

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

    The Exchange now seeks to extend the exemption until December 31,
2018.\5\ The Exchange's request was made in conjunction with an
immediately effective filing that extends

the operation of the Program through the same date.\6\ In its request
to extend the exemption, the Exchange notes that the participation in
the Program has increased more recently with additional Retail
Liquidity Providers. Accordingly, the Exchange has asked for additional
time to both allow for additional opportunities for greater
participation in the Program and allow for further assessment of the
results of such participation. For this reason and the reasons stated
in the Order originally granting the limited exemptions, the Commission
finds that extending the exemption, pursuant to its authority under
Rule 612(c) of Regulation NMS, is appropriate in the public interest
and consistent with the protection of investors.

    \5\ See Letter from Martha Redding, Associate General Counsel
and Assistant Secretary, NYSE to Brent J. Fields, Secretary,
Commission, dated June 14, 2018.
    \6\ See SR-NYSE-2018-29.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, it is hereby ordered that, pursuant to Rule 612(c) of
Regulation NMS, the Exchange is granted a limited exemption from Rule
612 of Regulation NMS that allows it to accept and rank orders priced
equal to or greater than $1.00 per share in increments of $0.001, in
connection with the operation of its Retail Liquidity Program, until
December 31, 2018.
    The limited and temporary exemption extended by this Order is
subject to modification or revocation if at any time the Commission
determines that such action is necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Responsibility
for compliance with any applicable provisions of the Federal securities
laws must rest with the persons relying on the exemptions that are the
subject of this Order.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-1245; Directorate Identifier 2011-CE-033-AD; RIN
2120-AA64]

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) that applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models
172R and 172S airplanes. The existing AD requires you to inspect the
fuel return line assembly for chafing; replace the fuel return line
assembly if chafing is found; and inspect the clearance between the
fuel return line assembly and both the right steering tube assembly and
the airplane structure, adjusting as necessary. Since we issued that
AD, we have received a field report of a fuel return line chafing
incident on a Cessna Model 172 airplane with a serial number (S/N) that
was not included in the AD. This proposed AD would retain the actions
of the current AD and add S/Ns to the Applicability section of the AD.
Chafing of the fuel return line assembly could lead to fire. We are
proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 29,
2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-1245;
Directorate Identifier 2011-CE-033-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On January 22, 2008, we issued AD 2008-03-02, Amendment 39-15351
(73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008), for certain Cessna Models 172R and 172S
airplanes. That AD requires you to inspect the fuel return line
assembly for chafing; replace the fuel return line assembly if chafing
is found; and inspect the clearance between the fuel return line
assembly and both the right steering tube assembly and the airplane
structure, adjusting as necessary. That AD resulted from reports of
chafed fuel return line assemblies, which were caused by the fuel
return line assembly rubbing against the right steering tube assembly
during full rudder pedal actuation. We issued that AD to detect and
correct chafing of the fuel return line assembly, which could result in
fuel leaking under the floor and fuel vapors entering the cabin. This
condition could lead to fire under the floor or in the cabin area.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2008-03-02 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008), we
received a field report of a fuel return line chafing incident on a
Cessna Model 172 airplane with an S/N that was not included in the AD.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Cessna Mandatory Service Bulletin SB07-28-01, dated
June 18, 2007, and Cessna Service Bulletin SB07-28-01, Revision 1,
dated September 22, 2011. The service information describes the
following procedures:
     Inspecting the fuel return line assembly;
     Replacing the fuel return line assembly if chafing is
found; and
     Inspecting the clearance between the fuel return line
assembly and both the right steering tube assembly and the airplane
structure, adjusting as necessary.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all of the requirements of AD 2008-
03-02 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008). This proposed AD would add
airplanes to the applicability statement of the current AD.

Change to Existing AD

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2008-03-02 (73
FR 5737, January 31, 2008). Since AD 2008-03-02 was issued, the AD
format has been revised, and certain paragraphs have been rearranged.
As a result, the corresponding paragraph identifiers have changed in
this proposed AD, as listed in the following table:

                      Revised Paragraph Identifiers

                                            Corresponding requirement in

paragraph (e)(1)..........................  paragraph (g)(1) and (g)(2)
paragraph (e)(2)..........................  paragraph (h)
paragraph (e)(3)..........................  paragraph (i)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 768 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on
               Action                        Labor cost               Parts cost          Cost per       U.S.
                                                                                product     operators

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

     The difference in estimated costs of this proposed AD and AD 2008-
03-02 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008) is an increase in the estimated
labor cost for those airplanes affected by AD 2008-

03-02 and the costs of the additional airplanes added to the proposed
AD.
    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
these replacements:

                           On-Condition Costs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Cost per
            Action                Labor cost     Parts cost    product

 between the fuel return line
 assembly and both the right
 steering tube assembly and
 the airplane structure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive
(AD) 2008-03-02, Amendment 39-15351 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008), and
adding the following new AD:

Cessna Aircraft Company: Docket No. FAA-2011-1245; Directorate
Identifier 2011-CE-033-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by December 29,
2011.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2008-03-02 (73 FR 5737, January 31, 2008),
Amendment 39-15351.

    This AD was prompted by a field report of a fuel return line
chafing incident on a Cessna Model 172 airplane with a serial number
that was not in the Applicability statement of AD 2008-03-02.
Chafing of the fuel return line assembly could result in fuel
leaking and fuel vapors, which could lead to fire. We are issuing
this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
