[FRL-9926-10-OEI]

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision
Approval, State of Wyoming

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's approval of the State of Wyoming's
request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs to
allow electronic reporting.

DATES: EPA's approval is effective July 2, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Seeh, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Information, Mail Stop
2823T, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 566-
1175<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR.
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving,
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option
of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements. Once an authorized
program has EPA's approval to accept electronic documents under certain
programs, CROMERR Sec.  3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program keep EPA
apprised of any changes to laws, policies, or the electronic document
receiving systems that have the potential to affect the program's
compliance with CROMERR Sec.  3.2000.
    On September 10, 2010, the Wyoming Department of Environmental
Quality (WY DEQ) submitted an amended application titled
``Environmental Information Technology Enterprise System'' for
revisions/modifications of its EPA-approved electronic reporting
program under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA
reviewed WY DEQ's request to revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs
and, based on this review, EPA determined that the application met the
standards for approval of authorized program revisions/modifications
set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's decision to approve Wyoming's request
to revise/modify its following EPA-authorized programs to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 122 and 144, is being published
in the Federal Register:
    Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System;
    Part 145--State Underground Injection Control Programs; and
    Part 239--Requirements for State Permit Program Determination of
Adequacy.
    WY DEQ was notified of EPA's determination to approve its
application with respect to the authorized programs listed above.

Director, Office of Information Collection.

properties included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National
Register of Historic Places at the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project
No. 14241.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the
Alaska SHPO would satisfy the Commission's section 106 responsibilities
for all individual undertakings carried out in accordance with the

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0265; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01541-R;
Amendment 39-21603; AD 2021-12-16]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
(AHD) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK117 C-2 and MBB-
BK117 D-2 helicopters. This AD was prompted by a report of increased
control force in the collective axis. This AD requires repetitive
visual inspections of the main rotor actuator (MRA), as specified in a
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated
by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 3, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 3,
2021.

ADDRESSES: For material incorporated by reference (IBR) in this AD,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2018-0283, dated December 20, 2018
(EASA AD 2018-0283), to correct an unsafe condition for AHD Model MBB-
BK117 C-2 and MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters. EASA later issued EASA AD
2020-0257, dated November 17,

2020 (EASA AD 2020-0257), to supersede EASA AD 2018-0283.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to AHD Model MBB-BK117 C-2
and MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on April 8, 2021 (86 FR 18221). The NPRM was prompted by a
report of increased control force in the collective axis on an AHD
Model EC135 helicopter. Subsequent inspections determined that a nut on
a piston of the MRA had cracked and separated from the piston rod. Due
to design similarity, Model MBB-BK117 C-2 and MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters
are also affected by this unsafe condition. The NPRM proposed to
require repetitive visual inspections of the MRA as specified in EASA
AD 2020-0257.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the MRA and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. See the EASA AD for
additional background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except the compliance time for the reporting requirement has changed
from within 30 days after the effective date of this AD to within 30
days after accomplishing each inspection and determining that there is
a crack, damage, black coloration, or corrosion. The FAA has determined
that this change:
     Is consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Does not add any additional burden upon the public than
was already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that this change will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0257 specifies procedures for a repetitive visual
inspection of the MRA and depending on the results, replacing the
affected parts.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires contacting Airbus Helicopters or replacing an
affected part, whereas this AD requires performing the corrective
action in accordance with FAA-approved procedures or removing the
affected parts from service instead. The service information referenced
in the EASA AD refers to calendar time when specifying the compliance
time for the inspections, whereas this AD uses hours time-in-service.
The EASA AD allows a tolerance to the compliance times, whereas this AD
does not. The EASA AD does not specify a compliance time for the
reporting requirements; whereas this AD requires performing the
reporting action within 30 days after accomplishing each inspection and
determining that there is a crack, damage, black coloration, or
corrosion.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 216 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD.
    Inspecting the nuts on the MRA pistons takes about 1 work-hour for
an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter and $18,360 for the U.S. fleet,
per inspection cycle.
    Replacing the MRA takes about 7 work-hours and parts cost about
$286,554 for an estimated cost of $287,149 per helicopter.
    Repairing the MRA takes up to about 8 work-hours and parts cost
about $110 for an estimated cost of up to $790 per MRA.
    If required, reporting information takes about 1 work-hour for an
estimated cost of $85 per instance.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    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,

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70232; File No. SR-FICC-2013-08]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change in Connection With the
Notification of Settlement Process Used by the Mortgage-Backed
Securities Division (``MBSD'')

August 19, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on August 9, 2013, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation
(``FICC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by FICC. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The purpose of this rule filing is to change the grace period and
the processing fee for late reconciliations in connection with the
notification of settlement (``NOS'') process.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FICC 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. FICC 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 of the Proposed Rule Change
    The purpose of this rule filing is to change the grace period and
the processing fee for late reconciliations in connection with the
notification of settlement (``NOS'') process.
    MBSD processes settlement-balance order (``SBO'') destined to-be
announced (``TBA'') transactions, trade-for-trade (``TFTD'') TBA
transactions, TBA option transactions and Specified Pool Trades
(``SPTs''). MBSD's processing of these eligible transactions consists
of the trade matching, TBA netting, electronic pool notification
allocation, pool comparison, pool netting, settlement versus FICC (in
its capacity as central counterparty) or the original settlement
counterparty, as applicable, and NOS for those trades that settle
outside of FICC.
    SPTs and Option trades \3\ are only eligible for trade matching and
risk management services. With respect to SPTs and other trades that
settle outside of FICC \4\, members must settle such obligations and
report such settlement by submitting a NOS to FICC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ With respect to option trades, members are required to
submit bilateral trade cancellation instructions to RTTM[supreg],
even after the underlying options have expired. Failure to receive
such instructions from either party to an Option trade will,
therefore, result in both counterparties being subject to mark and
margin requirements based on non-existing positions.
    \4\ Other trades that settle outside of MBSD include (1)
transactions for which clearing members chose not to submit
allocation information into pool netting and (2) certain
transactions with an incomplete master file on a pool record or
number.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the NOS process requires MBSD members to submit such
notification on the clearance day.\5\ The reconciliation of uncompared
NOS submission must be done within two (2) days of the uncompared NOS
submission. Reconciliation occurs when any of the following actions
occur: (a) the counterparty submits corresponding NOS to match the
initiator's submission, (b) the counterparty submits a DK \6\ notice to
the initiator's submission or (c) the initiator deletes its previously
submitted NOS that remains uncompared. Currently, if the initiator or
the contraside, as applicable, elects any of these actions beyond the
two (2) day grace period, such member will be subject to a late fee in
the amount of $25.00 per day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ With respect to NOS, the clearance day is the day that the
seller delivers the pools to the buyer. The clearance day is
generally on or after the contractual settlement day.
    \6\ Pursuant to the MBSD Rules, ``DK'' means a statement
submitted to the Corporation by a member that the member ``does not
know'' (i.e., denies the existence of) a Transaction reported to the
member by the Corporation. See Clearing Rules, Mortgage-Backed
Securities Division, Definitions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A successful bilateral comparison of NOS by the respective
contrasides ensures that the positions on a member's Open Commitment
Report \7\

are accurate and up-to-date. Timely submission and matching of NOS to
FICC is crucial in order to minimize the risk that MBSD over or under
margins members as a result of calculating Clearing Fund requirements
and mark-to-market values that are based on positions which--
unbeknownst to FICC--have actually settled between members. As a
result, it is important that members submit the NOS as soon as possible
after settlement, and it is equally important that members monitor
their counterparties' NOS submissions. In case of a member's
insolvency, the timely submission and processing of NOS is also
important, given that FICC must quickly and accurately determine which
positions are true fails--and therefore need to be liquidated. In an
effort to encourage members to submit NOS timely and address uncompared
NOS quickly, FICC is proposing to (1) change the late fee from $25.00
per day to $150.00 per day and (2) reduce the grace period from two (2)
days to one (1) day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Pursuant to the MBSD Rules, ``Open Commitment Report'' is
defined as the report furnished by FICC to Members reflecting
Members' open commitments in the Clearing System. See Clearing
Rules, Mortgage-Backed Securities Division, Definitions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed change with respect to the late fee is attached as
Exhibit 5. The proposed change with respect to the grace period does
not require revisions to the Clearing Rules because the grace period is
not referenced in the rules.
(2) Statutory Basis for the Proposed Rule Change
    FICC believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the ``Act''), and the rules and regulations thereunder because
(1) it facilitates the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities and (2) assures the safeguarding of securities and funds
which are in the custody or control of FICC or for which it is
responsible by encouraging members to comply with a necessary risk
management tool that facilitates FICC's receipt of accurate and timely
settlement information.

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

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

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

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

D. Advance Notices Filed Pursuant to Section 806(e) of the Payment,
Clearing and Settlement Supervision Act

    (a) Not applicable.
    (b) Not applicable.
    (c) Not applicable.
    (d) Not applicable.
    (e) Not applicable.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) by order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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