B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish regulated navigation areas and other limited access areas: 33
U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of the rule is to protect the public from the hazards
associated with the launching of fireworks over navigable waters of the
United States.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    On April 27, 2013, Fireworks by Grucci and Left Lane Productions
are sponsoring the V. I. Carnival Finale, a firework display event. The
event will be held on the waters of St. Thomas Harbor, St. Thomas, U.S.
Virgin Islands. Fireworks will be launched from a barge stationed near
the St. Thomas Harbor channel.
    This safety zone encompasses waters in St. Thomas Harbor. The zone
will be enforced from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. on April 27, 2013.
Persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through,
anchoring in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by
the Captain of the Port.
    Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone by contacting the
Captain of the Port San Juan or a designated representative. If
authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the safety zone is granted, all persons and vessels receiving such
authorization must comply with the instructions of the Captain of the
Port San Juan or a designated representative.
    The Coast Guard will provide notice of the safety zone by Local
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene
designated representatives.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for
the following reasons: (1) The safety zone will be enforced for only
five hours; (2) persons and vessels may operate in the surrounding area
during the enforcement period; (3) persons and vessels may still enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone during the
enforcement period if authorized by the Captain of the Port San Juan or
a designated representative; and (4) the Coast Guard will provide
advance notification of the safety zone to the local maritime community
by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of St. Thomas
Harbor encompassed within the safety zone from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00
p.m. on April 27, 2013. For the reasons discussed in the Regulatory
Planning and Review section above, this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a

significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves a safety zone that will be enforced for five hours. This rule
is categorically excluded under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination
are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

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 its receipt of several pesticide petitions 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 requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not proposing
any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the
pesticide petitions described in this document contain the 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 support granting of the

504 Carnegie Center Princeton, NJ 08540, requests to establish an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues for oxirane,
2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2-
methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]methylether] ether (CAS Reg. No.
2112825-11-1) with a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu)
of 10,000 Daltons, when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide
formulations under 40 CFR 180.960. The petitioner believes no
analytical method is needed because it is not required for an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: RD.

New Tolerance Exemptions for Non-Inerts (Except PIPS)

    1. PP 7F8626. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0070). Ecolab, Inc., 1 Ecolab Place,
St. Paul, MN 55102, requests to establish an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the
antimicrobial pesticide C10-C16 Alkylbenzene Sulfonates in or on food
contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy processing equipment,
and food processing equipment and utensils up to a maximum of 700 ppm
when ready for use, in the end-use concentration. The petitioner
believes no analytical method is needed because an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance is being proposed. Contact: AD.
    2. PP 7F8655. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0092). Clarke Mosquito Control
Products, Inc., 675 Sidwell Ct., St. Charles, IL 60174, requests to
establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR
part 180 for residues of the insecticide l-carvone in or on all raw
agricultural commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method
is needed because residues of this chemical are not expected on food
commodities due to the ultra-low application rates and the volatile
nature of the chemical, which has a vapor pressure of 24.37 Pascals at
25[deg]C and falls into the category of ``intermediate to high
volatility under field conditions.'' Contact: BPPD.

New Tolerances for Non-Inerts

    1. PP 7E8636. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0037). Syngenta Crop Protection,
LLC, P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419, requests to establish a
tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide avermectin

avermectin B1a (5-O-demethyl avermectin A1) and less than or equal to
20% avermectin B1b (5-O-demethyl-25-de(1-methylpropyl)-25-(1-
methylethyl) avermectin A1)) in or on the raw agricultural commodity
tea at 1 parts per million (ppm). The analytical methods involve
homogenization, filtration, partition, and cleanup with analysis by
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detection.
Contact: RD.
    2. PP 7E8637. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0037). Syngenta Crop Protection,

isotianil, 3,4-dichloro-2'-cyano-1,2-thiazole-5-carboxanilide in or on
banana, fruit at 0.01 parts per million (ppm). The analytical method
involves solvent extraction, purification through a Chromabond XTR
cartridge (diatomaceous earth) column, and addition of a mixture of
stable, isotopically labelled internal standards. Quantitation is by
high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/tandem
mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Contact: RD.
    4. PP 7F8572. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0510). FMC Corporation, 2929 Walnut
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, requests to establish a tolerance in 40
CFR part 180 for residues of the herbicide pethoxamid in or on corn,
field, forage at 0.015 parts per million (ppm); corn, field, stover at
0.02 ppm; corn, field, grain at 0.01 ppm; popcorn, stover at 0.01 ppm;
popcorn, grain at 0.01 ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 0.50 ppm; corn,
sweet, stover at 0.60 ppm; corn, sweet, kernel plus cobb with husk
removed at 0.01 ppm; cotton, undelinted seed at 0.01 ppm; cotton, gin
byproducts at 0.09 ppm; soybean, forage at 3.0 ppm; soybean, hay at 4.5
ppm; and soybean, seed at 0.01 ppm. An LC-MS/MS method is used to
measure and evaluate the chemical pethoxamid. Contact: RD.
    5. PP 7F8622. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0694). DuPont Crop Protection,
Stine-Haskell Research Center, P.O. Box 30, Newark, DE 19714-0030,
requests to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of
the insecticide, cyantraniliprole, in or on rice, hulls at 0.05 parts
per million (ppm), rice, straw at 0.015 ppm, soybean, forage at 15 ppm,
soybean, hay at 50 ppm, soybean, seed at 0.4 ppm, soybean, hulls at 1
ppm, and aspirated grain fractions at 200 ppm. Upon approval of the
proposed tolerances in soybean forage and hay, it is proposed that the
existing tolerances for indirect or inadvertent residues in soybean
forage and hay be cancelled. In addition, DuPont Crop Protection
requests to amend the tolerance(s) in 40 CFR.672, in or on rice, grain
at 0.02 ppm by replacing an existing tolerance at the same level that
is only for imported grain with a tolerance supporting both domestic
production and imported grain. The high-pressure liquid chromatography
with ESI- MS/MS detection is used to measure and evaluate the chemical.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0042; FRL-8066-1]

Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) Reregistration Eligibility Decision;
Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide piperonyl butoxide, and
opens a public comment period on this document. The Agency's risk
assessments and other related documents also are available in the
piperonyl butoxide Docket. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is a pesticide
active ingredient that acts as a synergist. Synergists are chemicals
which, while lacking pesticidal properties of their own, enhance the
pesticidal properties of other active ingredients including pyrethrins
and pyrethroids. PBO is used in four general ways: Preharvest and
postharvest uses on many agricultural crops; direct and indirect
treatments of livestock animals and premises; treatments of commercial
and industrial facilities and storage areas where raw and processed
food/feed commodities are stored or processed; and mosquito abatement
areas. EPA has reviewed piperonyl butoxide through the public
participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in
developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment
decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides
meet current health and safety standards.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 24, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0042, by one of the following methods:

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The Federal regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access''
system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you
send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through
regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the docket and made
available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA
recommends that you include your name and other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot
contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters,
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index.
Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly
available, e.g., CBI or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are
available either in the electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

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 e-mail. 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 submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.

    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.

ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA
has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the
pesticide, piperonyl butoxide under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA.
Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is a pesticide active ingredient that acts as
a synergist. Synergists are chemicals which, while lacking pesticidal
properties of their own, enhance the pesticidal properties of other
active ingredients including pyrethrins and pyrethroids. PBO is used in
four general ways: Preharvest and postharvest uses on many agricultural
crops; direct and indirect treatments of livestock animals and
premises; treatments of commercial and industrial facilities and
storage areas where raw and processed food/feed commodities are stored
or processed; and mosquito abatement areas. EPA has determined that the
data base to support reregistration is substantially complete and that
products containing piperonyl butoxide are eligible for reregistration,
provided the risks are mitigated in the manner described in the RED.
Upon submission of any required product specific data under section
4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the registration and labeling
(either to address concerns identified in the RED or as a result of
product specific data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision
under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products containing piperonyl butoxide.
    EPA must review tolerances and tolerance exemptions that were in
effect when the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) was enacted in
August 1996, to ensure that these existing pesticide residue limits for
food and feed commodities meet the safety standard established by the
new law. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding
has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed and made the
requisite safety finding for the piperonyl butoxide tolerances.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be
commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide.
Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, piperonyl butoxide was
reviewed through the full 6-Phase process. Through this process, EPA
worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the
regulatory decisions for piperonyl butoxide.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the
piperonyl butoxide RED for public comment. This comment period is
intended to provide an additional opportunity for public input and a
mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the RED. All
comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must
be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will
become part of the Agency Docket for piperonyl butoxide. Comments
received after the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.''
EPA is not required to consider these late comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the
Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the
document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the Federal
Register. In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the
piperonyl butoxide RED will be implemented as it is now presented
without further notice.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission
of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator
shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient
are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific
data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products
or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''
    Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for
pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether
the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2)
or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70289; File No. SR-OCC-2013-10]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its Policy Statement
Adopted Under Rule 205 Entitled ``Back-up Communication Channel to
Internet Access''

August 29, 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 23, 2013, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'' or
``Corporation'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by OCC. 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. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    OCC proposes to make certain changes to its Policy Statement
adopted under Rule 205 entitled ``Back-up Communication Channel to
Internet Access'' requiring clearing members that use the Internet as
their primary means to access OCC's information and data systems to
maintain a secure back-up means of communication in order to provide
for business continuance in the event of an Internet outage.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC 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. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

(1) Purpose
    OCC Rule 205 prescribes that OCC clearing members are required to
submit instructions, notices, reports, data and

other items to the Corporation electronically in accordance with
procedures prescribed by the Corporation. The Rule is designed to
promote operational efficiency and effectiveness and reduce input
errors. Position-related post-trade (e.g., exercise notices, position
adjustments) and collateral transactions are common examples of
instructions submitted by clearing members electronically.
    OCC supports the submission of these instructions through use of an
Internet connection to OCC's secured Web site. In 2006, OCC adopted a
Policy Statement under Rule 205 requiring clearing members that
primarily use the Internet to access OCC's systems to maintain a secure
back-up means of communication as a contingency to perform on a timely
basis critical business activities in the event of an Internet outage,
as well as to maintain service arrangements with two independent
internet service providers.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53980 (June 14, 2006),
71 FR 36155 (June 23, 2006)(SR-OCC-2006-04).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Policy Statement adopted at the time required clearing members
to maintain: (i) Separate service agreements with two (2) independent
service providers, and (ii) an OCC-approved method for accessing OCC's
information and data systems even in the case of an Internet outage
(the ``Back-Up Communication Channel'').
    Guidelines were established so that the Back-Up Communication
Channel authorized for a particular clearing member was determined in
accordance with the firm's business profile using certain criteria. For
example, a clearing member that: (i) ranked among the top twenty-five
of cleared volume during a calendar year; (ii) cleared more than one
account type as defined in OCC's By-Laws and Rules; (iii) cleared two
or more product types; (iv) conducted Clearing Member Trade Assignment
(``CMTA'') business; (v) input a high volume of daily post-trade
activity; (vi) generally utilized multiple forms of collateral; (vii)
utilized most ancillary services offered by OCC; (viii) used a lease
line for data transmissions, would generally be designated as a
``Category A'' firm. ``Category A'' firms were required to maintain a
T1 line as an acceptable form of back-up communication channel.
    A clearing member that: (i) Transacted mid-level cleared volume
during a calendar year; (ii) cleared only one or more account types as
defined in OCC's By-Laws and Rules; (iii) cleared one or more product
types; (iv) input a moderate to small volume of post-trade activity;
(v) generally utilized one or two forms of collateral; (vi) may have
utilized a lease line for data transmissions, were generally designated
as a ``Category B'' firm. Under the Policy Statement, ``Category B''
firms were provided the option to either maintain a T1 line or ISDN
connection as acceptable forms of a back-up communication channel.
    A clearing member that: (i) Transacted low-level cleared volume
during a calendar year; (ii) cleared no more than one account type as
defined in OCC's By-Laws and Rules; (iii) cleared no more than one
product type; (iv) generally utilized one or two forms of collateral;
(v) input minimal amounts of post-trade activity, would generally be
designated as a ``Category C'' firm. ``Category C'' firms were given
the option to maintain an ISDN connection, utilize OCC equipment if the
clearing member was located in or near a city where OCC maintains
operational center(s), or rely upon fax transmission in the event an
internet connection was not available.
    Recent denial of service attacks on financial institutions, along
with changes in technology since the Policy Statement was first
adopted, have prompted OCC to reassess the risk to operations should
Internet connections supporting clearing member access to OCC's
information and data systems be interrupted. Through this assessment,
OCC has determined that its existing policy should be modified to
ensure it is easily understood and properly implemented by the clearing
membership.
    OCC is now proposing to make updates to the Policy Statement
intended to simplify the criteria applied to a given firm in
determining the appropriate Back-Up Communication Channel. Instead of
having three categories of Business Profiles that include several
criteria to be applied, and offering multiple communication options
available to a particular firm, the updated Policy Statement will
contain two profiles. Clearing Members that rank in the top-25 of
cleared volume during a calendar year or act as a facilities manager to
one or more Clearing firms will be designated as a ``Category A'' firm,
and will be required to maintain a T1 line as its Back-Up Communication
Channel. All other firms will be designated as ``Category B'' firms,
and will be required to maintain a T1 line or utilize a fax line,
telephone or have ready access to an OCC office location.
    OCC believes the proposed changes will present minimal to no impact
to clearing members. In particular, all firms that were previously
designated as ``Category A'' firms under the former policy will
continue to be designated as ``Category A'' firms under the revised
policy being proposed, and they will still be required to maintain a T1
line, as previously required. Those firms that will be designated as
Category B firms under the proposed policy will now have increased
flexibility under the back-up options being made available to them, in
that they can select between a T1 Line, fax, telephone, or use an OCC
office if they are located in a city where OCC maintains an operational
center. In preparation for the revisions to the Policy Statement, OCC
has acquired new fax servers that have increased bandwidth to support
multiple users that may select facsimile transmission as their
available back-up communication method. Meanwhile, the telephone
features used by OCC's Member Service staff are equipped so that calls
are automatically routed to an available representative in the event a
firm's designated contact is unavailable. Finally, OCC has confirmed
that: (i) The number of Category B firms who are located in a city
where OCC maintains an office; and (ii) do not currently maintain a T1
line, is sufficiently small enough so that OCC will be able to
accommodate those firms who may need to utilize OCC's equipment in the
event of an internet outage.
    OCC also proposes to clarify the Policy Statement by expressly
adding a requirement for each clearing member to provide OCC with an
annual statement that the Clearing Member: (i) Has been and continues
to be in compliance with the Policy Statement; (ii) has successfully
tested its ability to access OCC's information and data systems using
its Back-Up Communication Channel since the last reporting period; and
(iii) will notify OCC within a reasonable period of any changes to
their Internet Service Providers since the date of the last notice
provided to OCC. While OCC believes that the existing policy reasonably
and fairly implies that clearing members would not only remain in
compliance with its requirements, but that clearing members would
perform periodic testing of its Back-Up Communication Channel, we
believe that the proposed modifications eliminate any ambiguity that
may exist and help ensure that OCC has sufficient information to
troubleshoot in case of an Internet outage, thereby helping to ensure
that critical business activities can still be performed in a timely
manner in such instances.
(2) Statutory Basis
    The proposed changes to OCC's Rules are consistent with the
purposes and

requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \4\ and the rules and regulations thereunder because
they are designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions by simplifying the criteria used
to determine the authorized Back-Up Communication Channel(s) that may
be used by a given clearing member in the event the Internet is not
available, and reducing the administrative oversight associated with
making such determinations. The updates to OCC's Policy Statement
further clarify the means by which clearing members are required to
notify OCC of the Back-Up Communication Channel(s) adopted by each
clearing member, along with the internet service providers being used,
and confirmation that each clearing member has successfully tested its
ability to access OCC's systems, thereby helping to ensure that
critical business activities can still be performed in a timely manner
even in the event of an Internet outage. The proposed rule change is
not inconsistent with the existing rules of OCC, including any rules
proposed to be amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC believes that the proposed rule change will impose little to no
burden on competition and in no way impose any burden on competition
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
While the updates to the Policy Statement now expressly provide for
clearing members to: (i) Notify OCC of the Back-Up Communication
Channel(s) adopted by each clearing member; (ii) provide OCC with the
names of its internet service providers, and (iii) confirm for OCC that
it has successfully tested its ability to access OCC's systems, OCC
believes that each of these measures impose little to no burden on
competition, individually or collectively, and any such burden imposed
will facilitate the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions at all times.
    In particular, Clearing Members are already required to maintain a
secure back-up means of communication under OCC's existing Policy
Statement, as well as, maintain service arrangements with two
independent internet service providers. Clearing Members are also
already required under OCC Rule 215 to provide information as OCC may
from time to time require. As such, OCC believes that requiring
Clearing Members to provide OCC with information they are already
required to maintain imposes little to no additional burden on
competition.
    In addition, while the updated Policy Statement now expressly
requires Clearing Members to confirm that it has successfully tested
its ability to access OCC's systems, OCC also believes that such
requirement imposes little to no additional burden on competition and
is consistent with existing regulatory requirements pertaining to
business continuity planning and disaster recovery. First, OCC believes
that the testing requirement itself was already implied in the existing
Policy Statement to ensure the Back-Up Communication Channel was
effective and operational, so the only additional requirement being
imposed is an obligation to notify OCC. Again, given Clearing Members'
existing obligation to provide information that OCC may request, OCC
believes such requirement imposes little to no additional burden on
competition. Second, to the extent a particular Clearing Member may not
have understood the existing Policy Statement to include an obligation
to test its Back-Up Communication Channel, then OCC believes the Policy
Statement clarifies the obligations applicable to all Clearing Members
and is consistent with existing regulatory requirements pertaining to
business continuity planning and disaster recovery applicable to
Clearing Members.
    Collectively, the updates to the Policy Statement are consistent
with requirements of the Act applicable to clearing agencies and are
designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions at all times. The updates ensure that OCC has
sufficient information to troubleshoot in case of an Internet outage,
and clarifies Clearing Members' obligations to confirm their ability to
successfully access OCC's information and data systems using their
Back-Up Communication Channel in the event of an Internet outage.
Accordingly, OCC believes that that [sic] updates will impose little to
no burden on competition and in no way impose a burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were not and are not intended to be solicited with
respect to the proposed rule change and none have been received.

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

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

Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Antelope Valley Air
Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a revision to the Antelope Valley Air Quality
Management District (AVAQMD) portion of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns the emissions of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from motor vehicle assembly coating
operations. We are approving a local rule to regulate these emission
sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).

DATES: This rule will be effective on June 25, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R09-OAR-2017-0760. All documents in the docket are

I. Proposed Action

    On March 19, 2018 (83 FR 11944), the EPA proposed to approve the
following rule into the California SIP.

                                             Table 1--Submitted Rule
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Local agency                Rule No.              Rule title              Adopted        Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVAQMD.............................          1151.1  Motor Vehicle Assembly            6/20/2017        8/9/2017
                                                      Coating Operations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We proposed to approve this rule because we determined that it
complies with the relevant CAA requirements. Our proposed action
contains more information on the rule and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received six comments. One comment noted that
the rule focuses specifically on ``motor vehicle assembly coating
operations,'' and stated that it should include all components of the
car manufacturing process, in order to address issues related to
climate change. Rule 1151.1 is intended to control VOC emissions from a
specific type of operation, and as such, we believe that the rule is
appropriate in scope and stringency. For the reasons addressed in the
proposal, the EPA has determined that the rule is consistent with
applicable CAA requirements and appropriate for inclusion in the SIP.
    The other five comments raised issues outside the scope of this
rulemaking, including bird and bat deaths associated with wind turbines
and the risks of unmanaged forests and wildfires. None of those
comments are germane to our evaluation of Rule 1151.1.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that changed our assessment of the rule
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as authorized in
section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving this rule into
the California SIP.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
AVAQMD rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L, 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);

     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 23, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
