DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1147]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before January 3, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1147, to
Roy E. Wright, Deputy Director, Risk Analysis Division, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-
mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roy E. Wright, Deputy Director, Risk
Analysis Division, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations
are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61664; File No. SR-Phlx-2010-32]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Routing Fees

March 5, 2010.
    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 March 1, 2010, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 its fees governing pricing for
Exchange members using the Phlx XL II system,\3\ for routing
standardized equity and index option customer orders to away markets
for execution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For a complete description of Phlx XL II, see Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3,
2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-32). The instant proposed fees will apply only
to option orders entered into, and routed by, the Phlx XL II system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While changes to the Exchange's Fee Schedule pursuant to this
proposal are effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be operative for trades settling on or after March 1, 2010.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqtrader.com/micro.aspx?id=PHLXfilings, 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, the Exchange 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. The Exchange 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 proposed rule change is to recoup costs that the
Exchange incurs for routing and executing customer orders in equity and
index options to certain better-priced away markets.
    In May 2009, the Exchange adopted Rule 1080(m)(iii)(A) to establish
Nasdaq Options Services LLC (``NOS''), a member of the Exchange, as the
Exchange's exclusive order router.\4\ NOS is utilized by the Phlx XL II
system solely to route orders in options listed and open for trading on
the Phlx XL II system to destination markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 28,
2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-32).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes adding the following Routing Fees: (i) A
$0.06 per contract side fee for customer orders routed to NYSE Amex LLC
(``NYSE Amex'') in all options; (ii) a $0.36 per contract side fee for
customer orders routed to BATS Exchange, Inc. (``BATS'') in all
options; (iii) a $.06 per contract side fee for customer orders routed
to the Boston Options Exchange Group LLC (``BOX'') in all options; (iv)
a $0.06 per contract fee for customer orders route to the Chicago Board
of Options Exchange, Inc. (``CBOE'') in all options; (v) a $.06 per
contract side fee for customer orders routed to International
Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'') in all options; and (vi) a $0.06 per
customer side fee for customer orders routed to NYSE Arca, Inc.
(``NYSEArca'') in non-penny options. The Exchange is proposing a $.06
transaction fee on NYSE AMEX, BOX, CBOE, ISE and NYSEArca in order to
recoup clearing charges which are incurred by the Exchange when orders
are routed to these away markets. The Exchange is proposing a $.36
transaction fee on BATS in order to recoup most clearing charges which
are incurred by the Exchange when orders are routed to these away
markets as well as a transaction charge which is assessed by BATS.
    Currently, the Exchange's Fee Schedule includes a Routing Fee of
$0.50 per contract side for customer orders routed to NYSEArca in penny
options for execution\5\ and a Routing Fee of $0.40 per contract side
for customer orders routed to the NASDAQ Options Market (``NOM'') in
penny options for execution. Also, the Exchange assesses a Routing Fee
of $.56 per contract side for customer orders routed to NOM in the
NASDAQ 100 Index Option (``NDX'') and the mini NASDAQ 100 Index Option
(``MNX'').\6\ The Exchange is currently only assessing the Routing Fee
in NDX and MNX for orders routed to NOM. There are currently no Routing
Fees for orders routed to away markets other than NYSEArca and NOM in
penny options. Also, currently, except for NDX and MNX, there are no
transaction fees for executing customer orders at away markets in non-
penny classes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61374 (January 19,
2010), 75 FR 4123 (January 26, 2010) (SR-PHLX-2010-01).
    \6\ See SR-NASDAQ-2010-016. The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
(``NASDAQ'') recently established pricing for NDX and MNX.
Specifically, NASDAQ established a fee of $.50 per executed contract
for Customers, Firms, and Non-NOM Market Makers to remove liquidity
in NDX and MNX Options and a $.40 per executed contract for NOM
Market Makers to remove liquidity in NDX and MNX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing these fees to recoup the majority of
transaction and clearing costs associated with routing customer orders
to each destination market. The Exchange believes that the routing fees
proposed will enable the Exchange to recover the transaction fees
assessed by away markets, where applicable, plus clearing fees for the
execution of customer orders routed from the Phlx XL II system. As with
all fees, the Exchange may adjust these Routing Fees in response to
competitive conditions by filing a new proposed rule change.
    The Exchange also proposes reformatting the Routing Fee table for
purposes of clarity. The Exchange proposes eliminating the penny and
non-penny columns and only specifying such a distinction, where
applicable.
    While changes to the Exchange's Fee Schedule pursuant to this
proposal are effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated this
proposal to be operative

for trades settling on or after March 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its schedule of
fees is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \8\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees
and other charges among Exchange members because Exchange members would
equally be assessed the costs incurred by the Exchange to route
customer orders to away markets on behalf of its members.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \9\ and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \10\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to
this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on

[Docket No. USCG-2017-0422]

Certificate of Alternative Compliance for the TUG INDEPENDENCE

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that a Certificate of Alternative
Compliance (COAC) was issued for the TUG INDEPENDENCE. We are issuing
this notice because its publication is required by statute.

DATES: The Certificate of Alternative Compliance was issued on May 9th,
2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information or questions about
this notice call or email Mr. Kevin Miller, First District Towing
Vessel/Barge Safety Specialist, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (617) 223-
8272, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States is signatory to the
International Maritime Organization's International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), as amended. The
special construction or purpose of some vessels makes them unable to
comply with the light, shape, and sound signal provisions of the 72
COLREGS. Under statutory law \1\ and Coast Guard regulation,\2\ a
vessel may instead meet alternative requirements and the vessel's
owner, builder, operator, or agent may apply for a COAC. For vessels of
special construction, the cognizant Coast Guard District Office
determines whether the vessel for which the COAC is sought complies as
closely as possible with the 72 COLREGS, and decides whether to issue
the COAC. Once issued, a COAC remains valid until information supplied
in the COAC application or the COAC terms become inapplicable to the
vessel. Under the governing statute \3\ and regulation,\4\ the Coast
Guard must publish notice of this action.

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

    The Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies that the TUG
INDEPENDENCE is a vessel of special construction or purpose, and that,
with respect to the position of the navigation and towing lights, it is
not possible to comply fully with the requirements of the provisions
enumerated in the 72 COLREGS, without interfering with the normal
