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

of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to delete NYSE Rule 351(a)-(d) and

Supplementary Material .10 and .13, adopt the text of FINRA Rule 4530,

and make certain conforming changes. The text of the proposed rule

change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference

Room, and http://www.nyse.com.

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 of, and basis for, the

proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the

proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at

the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared

summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most

significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose

    The Exchange proposes to delete NYSE Rule 351(a)-(d) and

Supplementary Material .10 and .13, adopt the text of FINRA Rule 4530,

and make certain conforming changes.

Background

    On July 30, 2007, FINRA's predecessor, the National Association of

Securities Dealers, Inc. (``NASD''), and NYSE Regulation, Inc.

(``NYSER'') consolidated their member firm regulation operations into a

combined organization, FINRA.\4\ Pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the Act,

NYSE, NYSER and FINRA entered into an agreement (the ``Agreement'') to

reduce regulatory duplication for their members by allocating to FINRA

certain regulatory responsibilities for certain NYSE rules and rule

interpretations (``FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules''). NYSE Amex LLC

(``NYSE Amex'') became a party to the Agreement effective December 15,

2008.\5\

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

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62970 (Sept. 22,

2010), 75 FR 59771 (Sept. 28, 2010) (order approving SR-FINRA-2010-

37).

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 56148 (July 26,

2007), 72 FR 42146 (August 1, 2007) (order approving the Agreement);

56147 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42166 (August 1, 2007) (SR-NASD-2007-

054) (order approving the incorporation of certain NYSE Rules as

``Common Rules''); and 60409 (July 30, 2009), 74 FR 39353 (August 6,

2009) (order approving the amended and restated Agreement, adding

NYSE Amex LLC as a party). Paragraph 2(b) of the Agreement sets

forth procedures regarding proposed changes by FINRA, NYSE or NYSE

Amex to the substance of any of the Common Rules.

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

    As part of its effort to reduce regulatory duplication and relieve

firms that are members of FINRA, NYSE and NYSE Amex of conflicting or

unnecessary regulatory burdens, FINRA is now engaged in the process of

reviewing and amending the NASD and FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules in

order to create a consolidated FINRA rulebook.\6\

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

    \6\ FINRA's rulebook currently has three sets of rules: (1) NASD

Rules, (2) FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules, and (3) consolidated FINRA

Rules. The FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules apply only to those members

of FINRA that are also members of the NYSE (``Dual Members''), while

the consolidated FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA members. For more

information about the FINRA rulebook consolidation process, see

FINRA Information Notice, March 12, 2008.

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

    In connection with the rule consolidation efforts between the

Exchange and FINRA, the Commission has recently approved FINRA Rule

4530,\7\ which is modeled after NYSE Rule 351(a)-(d) and NASD Rule

3070.\8\ FINRA Rule 4530 requires member firms to: (1) Report to FINRA

certain specified events and quarterly statistical and summary

information regarding written customer complaints; and (2) file with

FINRA copies of certain criminal actions, civil complaints and

arbitration claims. FINRA uses the information for regulatory purposes

to identify and initiate investigations of firms, offices and

associated persons that may pose a risk. In most cases, the

requirements of FINRA Rule 4530 are based on similar requirements in

the NASD and NYSE rules.

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

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63260 (November 5,

2010), 75 FR 69508 (November 12, 2010) (SR-FINRA-2010-034). See also

Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64560 (May 27, 2011), 76 FR

32246 (June 3, 2011) (SR-FINRA-2011-024).

    \8\ NYSE Rule 351(e) and NYSE Rule Interpretation 351(e)/01

(Reports of Investigation) govern trade investigation reporting

requirements. NYSE Rules 351(f), 351.11 and 351.12 govern the annual

attestation requirement of the research analyst conflict of interest

rules. These provisions will be addressed as part of the supervision

rules and research analyst conflict of interest rules, respectively.

See Regulatory Notice 08-24 (Proposed Consolidated FINRA Rules

Governing Supervision and Supervisory Controls) and Regulatory

Notice 08-55 (FINRA Requests Comment on Proposed Research

Registration and Conflict of Interest Rules) NYSE Rule 351(e) and

(f) are addressed by a separate FINRA harmonization proposal. NYSE

Rules 351(a)-(d) would be marked as ``Reserved'' until such time as

NYSE Rule 351 is fully harmonized with FINRA rules.

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

Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to adopt the text of FINRA Rule 4530 as NYSE

Rule 4530, with certain technical changes. For consistency with

Exchange rules, the Exchange proposes to change all references to

``members'' to ``member organizations'' and add a definition of

``person associated with a member organization.'' The Exchange proposes

to delete NYSE Rule 351(a)-(d) and Supplementary Material .10 and .13

and make conforming amendments in NYSE Rules 342, 401A, and 476A, which

contain references to NYSE Rule 351, and delete an unnecessary cross-

reference in NYSE Rule 311. The Exchange proposes to make NYSE Rule

4530 effective on the same date as FINRA makes FINRA Rule 4530

effective.\9\

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

    \9\ See FINRA Regulatory Notice 11-06. The implementation date

is currently scheduled for July 1, 2011. NYSE Amex also has

submitted a companion rule filing amending its rules in accordance

with FINRA's rule changes. See SR-NYSEAmex-2011-42.

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

2. Statutory Basis

    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the

Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section

6(b)(5),\11\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent

fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and

equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination

with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to

remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open

market and a national market system. Specifically, the Exchange

believes that the proposed rule changes support the objectives of the

Act by providing greater harmonization between NYSE Rules and FINRA

Rules of similar purpose, resulting in less burdensome and more

efficient regulatory compliance. To the extent the Exchange has

proposed changes that differ from the FINRA version of the Rules, such

changes are technical in nature and do not change the substance of the

proposed NYSE Rules.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will

impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate

in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\

Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the

protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any

significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to

30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as

the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of

investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-

4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.

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

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).

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

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \14\ normally

does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the

filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\15\ the Commission

may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the

protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked

the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal

may become operative immediately upon filing.\16\

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

    \14\ Id.

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-

4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to

the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed

rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed

rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by

the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.

    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,

the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.

78c(f).

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

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and

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:

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE MKT LLC; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Adding New Rule
956.1NY, Which Will Govern the Submission of Automated Trading Data

December 12, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on December 7, 2012, NYSE MKT LLC (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE MKT'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to add new Rule 956.1NY, which will govern
the submission of automated trading data. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, 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, the self-regulatory organization
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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt new Rule 956.1NY, which will govern
the automated submission of trading data. The proposed rule is
substantially similar to NYSE Arca Rule 10.2(e) and therefore will
harmonize the rules between the Exchange and NYSE Arca with respect to
the automated submission of trading data for options trading.
    The Exchange's rule previously governing the automated submission
of trading data was NYSE MKT Rule 153A--Automated Submission of Trading
Data.\4\ Because the Exchange has a rule specific to the automated
submission of equities trading data, the Exchange believes it should
also have a rule specific to the automated submission of options
trading data. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to adopt a rule
governing automated submission of trading data that is based upon NYSE
Arca Rule 10.2(e). To avoid any potential confusion of which rules
govern options trading, the Exchange also proposes to add New Rule
956.1NY to the existing rule set relating to the trading of option
contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On November 14, 2012, the Exchange filed a proposal to
delete out-of-date and obsolete rules, including Rule 153A, because
it was duplicative of an existing equities rule governing the
automated submission of trading data (NYSE MKT Rule 410A--Equities)
(both of which are substantially similar to proposed Rule 956.1NY).
See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68306 (November 28, 2012),
77 FR 71846 (December 4, 2012) (NYSEMKT-2012-68).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the

objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that, by
adopting a rule that is based on an existing rule that addresses the
industry standard for automated submission of trading data, it promotes
just and equitable principles of trade, removes impediments to and
perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, helps to protect investors and the public
interest by assuring that the Exchange has proper data to further its
regulatory and surveillance programs. The Exchange further believes
that the proposal to add the rule to the section relating to options
trading removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and
open market by ensuring that members, regulators and the public can
more easily navigate the Exchange's rulebook and better understand what
obligations attach and when.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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 Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ Id. In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange
to give the Commission written notice of the Exchange's intent to
file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and
text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior
to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter
time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied
this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\11\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. The Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because the proposal is substantially similar to NYSE Arca Rule
10.2(e), as well as former NYSE MKT Rule 153A and current NYSE MKT Rule
410A, which have all been approved by the Commission and govern the
submission of trading data. Additionally, the effectiveness of this
rule will bring NYSE MKT's Rules in line with an industry-wide standard
governing the submission of trading data. Waiver of the operative delay
will ensure the Exchange is not without an operative rule governing the
submission of trading data, as the deletion of former NYSE MKT Rule
153A becomes effective Dec. 14, 2012. Therefore, the Commission
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
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:

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
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.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is announcing receipt of a pesticide petition filed under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on
the request before responding to the petitioner. EPA is not proposing
any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the
pesticide petition described in this document contains data or
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of
the pesticide petition. After considering the public comments, EPA
intends to evaluate whether and what action may be warranted.
Additional data may be needed before EPA can make a final determination
on this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition that is the
subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is included in a
docket EPA has created for this rulemaking. The docket for this
petition is available at https://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0684]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a New Approval of Information Collection: Helicopter Air
Ambulance Operator Reports

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 for a new information collection.
The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of information was published on
August 12, 2013, vol. 78, no. 155, pages 48925-48926. The FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 included a mandate to begin
collection of operational data from Air Ambulance operators. The Act
mandates that not later than 2 years after the date of enactment, and
annually thereafter, the Administrator shall submit to the Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate, a
report containing a summary of the data collected. The FAA received a
total of 17 responses to the request for public comment. Based on the
comments, the FAA has made adjustments in the reporting requirements,
frequency of reporting and the format for submission. Specifically, the
linkage among the registration number, time of day, flight time, IFR
flight time, and base has been removed. Reporting requirements have
changed from a ``per flight'' basis to an aggregate basis.
Additionally, the reporting requirement has been reduced from a
quarterly report to an annual report.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 28, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX
    Title: Helicopter Air Ambulance Operator Reports
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a new information collection.
    Background: The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 mandates
that all helicopter air ambulance operators must begin reporting the
number of flights and hours flown, along with other specified
information, during which helicopters operated by the certificate
holder were providing helicopter air ambulance services. See 49 U.S.C.
44731. The helicopter air ambulance operational data provided to the
FAA will be used by the agency as background information useful in the
development of risk mitigation strategies to reduce the currently
unacceptably high helicopter air ambulance accident rate, and to meet
the mandates set by Congress. Upon approval of this information
collection the FAA intends to amend helicopter air ambulance operators'
Operations Specifications to require submission of the data, mandated
by Congress, to the FAA.
    The FAA notes that prior to issuance of this notice representatives
from the Flight Standards Service, Office of Accident Investigation and
Prevention, and the Office of the Chief Counsel met with
representatives from the Air Medical Operators Association (AMOA) to
discuss the FAA's approach to this data collection. Meetings were held
on October 15, 2012 and May 17, 2013. On June 28, 2013 AMOA submitted a
response to the FAA discussing its view of the method to collect the
data being pursued by the FAA. A copy of that letter has been placed in
the docket and will be considered by the agency.
    Respondents: 73 helicopter air ambulance certificate holders.
    Frequency: Information is collected annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 588 hours.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>, or mailed to the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC
20503.
    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.
    The supplementary materials placed in the docket may be read at
http://www.regulations.gov at any time. Follow the online instructions
for accessing the docket or go to Docket Operations in Room W12-140 of
the West Building Ground Floor at 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2016-0181]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; North Landing River, Chesapeake,
VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from drawbridge regulation;
modification.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has modified a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the S165 (North Landing Road) Bridge
across the North Landing River, mile 20.2, at Chesapeake, VA. This
modified deviation is necessary to perform emergency bridge repairs and
provide for safe navigation. This modified deviation allows the bridge
to remain in the closed-to-navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 6 p.m. on September 30, 2016,
through 4 p.m. on October 14, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, [USCG-2016-0181] is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Hal R. Pitts, Bridge
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, telephone 757-398-
6222, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 11, 2016, the Coast Guard published
a temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; North
Landing River, Chesapeake, VA'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 12824);
on April 8, 2016, the Coast Guard published a modified temporary
deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; North Landing
River, Chesapeake, VA'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 20529); and on
June 29, 2016, the Coast Guard published a modified temporary deviation
entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; North Landing River,
Chesapeake, VA'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 42248). These documents
were necessary to authorize a temporary deviation from the operating
regulations to perform repairs to the south swing span of the bridge
due to damage sustained as a result of a vessel allision with the
bridge that occurred on March 1, 2016. The United States Army Corps of
Engineers, Norfolk District Office, who owns and operates the S165
(North Landing Road) Bridge, has requested a modified temporary
deviation from the current operating regulations to perform repairs to
the south swing span of the bridge, following receipt of replacement
parts scheduled to arrive in the first week of October 2016. The
modified temporary deviation request is necessary to receive the
replacement parts in the first week of October 2016 and allow for
sufficient time to complete repairs to the bridge.
    The current operating scheduled is set out in 33 CFR 117.1021.
Under this modified temporary deviation, the north span of the bridge
will open-to-navigation on the hour and half hour, upon request, from 6
a.m. to 7 p.m., and on demand from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The north and south
spans of the bridge will open to navigation concurrently, with the
south span only opening partially due to damage, upon request, for: (1)
Scheduled openings at 9:30 a.m. for vessels transiting southeast, (2)
10:30 a.m. for vessels transiting northwest, and (3) at noon and 2 p.m.
for two-way vessel traffic through the bridge, Monday through Friday,
from Friday, September 30, 2016, through Monday, October 10, 2016. The
north and south spans of the bridge will open to navigation
concurrently, with the south span only opening partially due to damage,
upon request, for: (1) Scheduled openings at 9:30 a.m. for vessels
transiting southeast and (2) 10:30 a.m. for vessels transiting
northwest, Saturday and Sunday, from Saturday, October 1, 2016, through
Sunday, October 9, 2016. The north and south spans of the bridge will
open to navigation concurrently, with the south span only opening
partially due to damage, for additional on demand openings from October
4, 2016, through October 10, 2016, if 48 hours notice is given. The
south span of the bridge will be closed-to-navigation during bridge
repair from 9 a.m., October 11, 2016, through 4 p.m., October 14, 2016.
The horizontal clearance of the bridge with the south span closed-to-
navigation is 38 feet and the horizontal clearance of the bridge with
the south span partially open-to-navigation is 70 feet. The modified
temporary deviation is necessary to relieve vessel congestion and
provide for safe navigation on the waterway. The bridge is a double
swing draw bridge and has a vertical clearance in the closed position
of 6 feet above mean high water.
    The North Landing River is used by a variety of vessels including
small U. S. government and public vessels, small commercial vessels,
tug and barge, and recreational vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully
considered the nature and volume of vessel traffic on the waterway in
publishing this temporary deviation.
    During the closure times there will be limited opportunity for
vessels which are able to safely pass through the bridge in the closed
position to do so. Vessels able to safely pass through the bridge in
the closed position may do so, after receiving confirmation from the
bridge tender that it is safe to transit

through the bridge. The north span of the bridge will be able to open
for emergencies. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the
waterways through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the
change in operating schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators
can arrange their transit to minimize any impact caused by the modified
temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[FMCSA Docket No. FMCSA-[2016-0218]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Diabetes
Mellitus

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA confirms its decision to exempt 46 individuals from its
rule prohibiting persons with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM)
from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce.
The exemptions enable these individuals to operate CMVs in interstate
commerce.

DATES: The exemptions were effective on September 8, 2016. The
exemptions expire on September 8, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64-113,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Electronic Access

Management System (FDMS) at: http://www.regulations.gov.
    Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments, go to http://www.regulations.gov and/or Room W12-140 on the
ground level of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
    Privacy Act: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits
comments from the public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT
posts these comments, without edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the
system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On August 8, 2016, FMCSA published a notice of receipt of Federal
diabetes exemption applications from 46 individuals and requested
comments from the public (81 FR 52505. The public comment period closed
on September 7, 2016, and no comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of the 46 applicants and
determined that granting the exemptions to these individuals would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that
would be achieved by complying with the current regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3).

Diabetes Mellitus and Driving Experience of the Applicants

    The Agency established the current requirement for diabetes in 1970
because several risk studies indicated that drivers with diabetes had a
higher rate of crash involvement than the general population. The
diabetes rule provides that ``A person is physically qualified to drive
a commercial motor vehicle if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control'' (49 CFR 391.41(b)(3)).
    FMCSA established its diabetes exemption program, based on the
Agency's July 2000 study entitled ``A Report to Congress on the
Feasibility of a Program to Qualify Individuals with Insulin-Treated
Diabetes Mellitus to Operate in Interstate Commerce as Directed by the
Transportation Act for the 21st Century.'' The report concluded that a
safe and practicable protocol to allow some drivers with ITDM to
operate CMVs is feasible. The September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441), Federal
Register notice in conjunction with the November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777),
Federal Register notice provides the current protocol for allowing such
drivers to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
    These 46 applicants have had ITDM over a range of 1 to 24 years.
These applicants report no severe hypoglycemic reactions resulting in
loss of consciousness or seizure, requiring the assistance of another
person, or resulting in impaired cognitive function that occurred
without warning symptoms, in the past 12 months and no recurrent (2 or
more) severe hypoglycemic episodes in the past 5 years. In each case,
an endocrinologist verified that the driver has demonstrated a
willingness to properly monitor and manage his/her diabetes mellitus,
received education related to diabetes management, and is on a stable
insulin regimen. These drivers report no other disqualifying
conditions, including diabetes-related complications. Each meets the
vision requirement at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
    The qualifications and medical condition of each applicant were
stated and discussed in detail in the August 8, 2016, Federal Register
notice and they will not be repeated in this notice.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

IV. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) if the exemption
is likely to achieve an equivalent or greater level of safety than
would be achieved without the exemption. The exemption allows the
applicants to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
    To evaluate the effect of these exemptions on safety, FMCSA
considered medical reports about the applicants' ITDM and vision, and
reviewed the treating endocrinologists' medical opinion related to the
ability of the driver to safely operate a CMV while using insulin.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) is
likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

V. Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption will be provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and they include the following:
(1) That each individual submit a quarterly monitoring checklist
completed by the treating endocrinologist as well as an annual
checklist with a comprehensive medical evaluation; (2) that each
individual reports within 2 business days of occurrence, all episodes
of severe hypoglycemia, significant complications, or inability to
manage diabetes; also, any involvement in an accident or any other
adverse event in a CMV or personal vehicle, whether or not it is
related to an episode of hypoglycemia; (3) that each individual provide
a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the medical
examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (4) that
each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification to
the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file, or keep
a copy in his/her driver's qualification file if he/she is self-

employed. The driver must also have a copy of the certification when
driving, for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official.

VI. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 46 exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), subject to the requirements cited above 49 CFR
391.64(b)):

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 each exemption is
valid for two years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will
be revoked if the following occurs: (1) The person fails to comply with
the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was
granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315. If the
exemption is still effective at the end of the 2-year period, the
person may apply to FMCSA for a renewal under procedures in effect at
that time.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57836; File No. SR-CBOE-2008-54]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Related to
Sponsored Users

May 19, 2008.
    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 May 12, 2008, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE''
or the ``Exchange'') 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 substantially by CBOE.
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 Exchange proposes to amend CBOE Rule 6.20A, Sponsored Users, to
permit Sponsored User access to all products traded on CBOE. The text
of the proposed rule change is available at http://www.cboe.org/Legal,
the principal offices of the Exchange, and 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, CBOE 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. CBOE 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
    CBOE is proposing to amend CBOE Rule 6.20A, Sponsored Users, which
governs electronic access for the entry and execution of orders by
Sponsored Users with authorized access and the applicable requirements
that Sponsored Users and Sponsoring Members are required to satisfy in
order to engage in a Sponsoring Member/Sponsored User relationship.
Under the current Rule, the Sponsored User program is only applicable
to CBOE's FLEX Hybrid Trading System (``FLEX'') and the CBOE Stock
Exchange (``CBSX'') facility. Thus, currently a ``Sponsored User'' is
defined as a person or entity that has entered into a sponsorship
arrangement with a Sponsoring Member for purposes of receiving
electronic access to FLEX and CBSX. CBOE is proposing to expand the
rule to permit electronic access for the entry and execution of orders
by Sponsored Users with authorized access to all other products traded
on CBOE.
    CBOE Rule 6.20A will apply to Sponsored Users with authorized
access to all other products traded on CBOE in the same manner as it is
currently applied to Sponsored Users with authorized access to FLEX and
CBSX. Sponsored User access to CBOE will also be conditioned on the
same requirements that are currently applied to Sponsored Users on FLEX
and CBSX. Unlike the number of Sponsored Users for FLEX and CBSX, which
can be unlimited, with respect to all other products trading on CBOE,
this filing proposes that the number of Sponsored Users with such
electronic access to CBOE be limited to a total of 15 persons/entities
\3\ (hereinafter referred to as ``Sponsored User Slots'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For purposes of CBOE Rule 6.20A, a ``Sponsored User'' would
now be defined as a person or entity that has entered into a
sponsorship arrangement with a Sponsoring Member for purposes of
receiving electronic access to the facilities and products specified
in the Rule (referred to as the ``Exchange System(s'')), which would
now include the products traded on the FLEX Hybrid Trading System,
CBOE and CBSX. See proposed changes to Rule 6.20A(a) and proposed
Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 6.20A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sponsored User applications for the CBOE Sponsored User Slots shall
be submitted to the Exchange's Membership Department and will be
processed in the order they are received on a time-stamped basis.
Sponsored User applications may be submitted by hand-delivery, e-mail,
or facsimile. For applications received via e-mail or facsimile, the
time-stamp will be the time the e-mail/facsimile is received by the
Membership Department. If there are more applicants than Sponsored User
Slots, the Exchange will maintain a waitlist and use a First In, First
Out (``FIFO'') method for filling the Sponsored User Slots. In the
event a Sponsored User application is determined by the Membership
Department to be incomplete,\4\ the application will not be considered
to have been submitted under the FIFO method until a completed
application is submitted. The Exchange will issue a circular providing
notice as to when the Exchange will begin accepting applications for
the 15 Sponsored User Slots and will detail how the applications may be
submitted to the Exchange's Membership Department. Lastly, the Exchange
notes that persons (or entities) aggrieved in an economic sense by
Exchange actions, including actions taken with respect to the Sponsored
User Slots, may apply for an opportunity to be heard and have the
complained-of action reviewed in accordance with Chapter XIX, Hearings
and Review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For example, an application would be considered incomplete
if a Sponsoring Member has not agreed to sponsor the Sponsored User
applicant's electronic access to CBOE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    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 the proposal is designed to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    CBOE 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.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i)

as the Commission may designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding, or (ii) as to which CBOE consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change; or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2023-N-0008]

Request for Nominations for Voting Members for the Patient
Engagement Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is requesting
nominations for voting members, excluding consumer and industry
representatives, to serve on the Patient Engagement Advisory Committee
(the Committee) in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
Nominations will be accepted for upcoming vacancies effective with this
notice. FDA seeks to include the views of members of all gender groups,
members of all racial and ethnic groups, and individuals with and
without disabilities on its advisory committees and, therefore,
encourages nominations of appropriately qualified candidates from these
groups.

DATES: Nominations received on or before May 1, 2023, will be given
first consideration for membership on the Committee. Nominations
received after May 1, 2023, will be considered for nomination to the
Committee as later vacancies occur.

ADDRESSES: All nominations for membership should be submitted
electronically, by logging into the FDA Advisory Committee Membership
Nomination Portal (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/FACTRSPortal/FACTRS/index.cfm) and selecting Academician/Practitioner from the
dropdown menu (regardless of whether Academician/Practitioner
accurately describes the nominee), or by mail to Advisory Committee
Oversight and Management Staff, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 32, Rm. 5103, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002.
Information about becoming a member on an FDA advisory committee can
also be obtained by visiting FDA's website at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Letise Williams, Center for Devices
and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 5407, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-8398, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is requesting nominations for voting
members to fill upcoming vacancies on the Patient Engagement Advisory
Committee. This notice does not include consumer and industry
representative nominations. The Agency will publish two separate
notices announcing the vacancy of a representative of consumer
interests and vacancy of representatives of interests of the device
manufacturing industry.

I. General Description of the Committee Duties

    The Committee provides relevant skills and perspectives to improve
communication of benefits, risks and clinical outcomes, and increase
integration of patient perspectives into the regulatory process for
medical devices. It performs its duties by identifying new approaches,
promoting innovation, recognizing unforeseen risks or barriers, and
identifying unintended consequences that could result from FDA policy.
The Committee provides advice on complex scientific issues related to
medical devices, the regulation of devices, and their use by patients.
Agency guidance and policies, clinical trial or registry design,
patient preference study design, benefit-risk determinations, device
labeling, unmet clinical needs, available alternatives, patient-
reported outcomes, device-related quality of life measure or health
status issues are among the topics that may be considered by the
Committee.

II. Criteria for Voting Members

    The Committee consists of a core of nine voting members, including
the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or
designee from among authorities who are knowledgeable in areas such as
clinical research, patient or caregiver experience, healthcare needs of
patient groups in the United States, or are experienced in the work of
patient and health professional organizations, scientific methodologies
for patient-reported outcomes and other clinical outcome assessments,
scientific methodologies for eliciting patient preferences, and
strategies for communicating benefits, risks, and clinical outcomes to
patients and research subjects, as well as other relevant areas.
Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4
years. Prospective members should also have an understanding of the
broad spectrum of patients in a particular disease area. Almost all
non-Federal members of this Committee serve as Special Government
Employees, with the exception of the representatives from Industry.

III. Nomination Procedures

    Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified
individuals for membership on the Committee. Self-nominations are also
accepted. Nominations must include a cover letter; a current, complete
r[eacute]sum[eacute] or curriculum vitae for each nominee, including
current business and/or home address, telephone number, and email
address if available, and a signed copy of the Acknowledgement and
Consent form available at the FDA Advisory Nomination Portal (see
ADDRESSES). Nominations must specify the advisory committee for which
the nominee is recommended. Nominations must also acknowledge that the
nominee is aware of the nomination unless self-nominated. FDA will ask
potential candidates to provide detailed information concerning such
matters related to financial holdings, employment, and research grants
and/or contracts to permit evaluation of possible sources of conflicts
of interest.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to advisory committees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 6, 2013, a NPRM was published in the Federal Register
establishing Class E airspace at Cleveland, TN to accommodate new
standard instrument approach procedures for Cleveland Regional Jetport
(78 FR 14475). Subsequent to publication the FAA found that existing
information for Bradley Memorial Hospital was omitted in the Cleveland,
TN proposed rule. Also, there is another proposed rulemaking for
Dayton, TN, with Bradley Memorial Hospital information. To avoid
confusion this proposed rule is being withdrawn and will be combined
with the Dayton, TN, proposed rulemaking.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures--21 CFR Part 11

OMB Control Number 0910-0303--Extension

    This information collection supports FDA regulations in part 11 (21
CFR part 11), which govern criteria for acceptance of electronic
records, electronic signatures, and handwritten signatures executed to
electronic records as equivalent to paper records. Under these
regulations, records and reports may be submitted to us electronically
provided that we have stated our ability to accept the records
electronically in an Agency-established public docket and that the
other requirements of part 11 are met.
    The recordkeeping provisions in Sec. Sec.  11.10, 11.30, 11.50, and
11.300 (21 CFR 11.10, 11.30, 11.50, and 11.300) require the following
standard operating procedures to ensure appropriate use of and
precautions for systems using electronic records and signatures: (1)
Sec.  11.10 specifies procedures and controls for persons who use
closed systems to create, modify, maintain, or transmit electronic
records; (2) Sec.  11.30 specifies procedures and controls for persons
who use open systems to create, modify, maintain, or transmit
electronic records; (3) Sec.  11.50 specifies procedures and controls
for persons who use electronic signatures; and (4) Sec.  11.300
specifies controls to ensure the security and integrity of electronic
signatures based upon use of identification codes in combination with
passwords. The reporting provision (Sec.  11.100) requires persons to
certify to us in writing that they will regard electronic signatures
used in their systems as the legally binding equivalent of traditional
handwritten signatures.
    The burden created by the information collection provision of this
regulation is a one-time burden associated with the creation of
standard operating procedures, validation, and certification. We
anticipate that the use of electronic media will substantially reduce
the paperwork burden associated with maintaining FDA-required records.
The respondents are businesses and other for-profit organizations,
State or local governments, Federal Agencies, and nonprofit
institutions.
    To assist respondents with the information collection we have
developed the guidance document entitled ``Guidance for Industry: Part
11, Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures--Scope and Application,''
available on our website at https://www.fda.gov/media/75414/download.
While we do not believe the guidance creates any attendant burden, it
describes the Agency's thinking regarding persons who, in fulfillment
of a requirement in a statute or another part of FDA's regulations to
maintain records or submit information to FDA, have chosen to maintain
the records or submit designated information electronically and, as a
result, have become subject to part 11. Part 11 applies to records in
electronic form that are created, modified, maintained, archived,
retrieved, or transmitted under any records requirements set forth in
Agency regulations. Part 11 also

applies to electronic records submitted to the Agency under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Service Act, even if
such records are not specifically identified in Agency regulations
(Sec.  11.1).
    In the Federal Register of August 13, 2020 (85 FR 49381), we
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. One comment was received but was not
responsive to the information collection topics solicited.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
