[Project No. 2850-015 New York ]

Hampshire Paper Company, Inc.; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the
Emeryville Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oswegatchie River in
St. Lawrence County, New York, and has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the project.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the
human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket

Tables'' rule.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
April 29, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2015-0170, by mail to Larry Gonzalez, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,
Lenexa, Kansas 66219. Comments may also be submitted electronically or
through hand delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in
the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry Gonzalez, Environmental
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner
Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219 at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is proposing to approve an amendment to
the SIP submitted by the State of Missouri on October 17, 2013, related
to Missouri rule 10 CSR 10-5.570 ``Control of Sulfur Emissions from
Stationary Boilers.'' The SIP revision is administrative and provides
clarity on the applicability of emission limits specified at 10 CSR 10-
5.570(3)(A)2. Additionally, the amendment removes definitions
originally included in 10 CSR 10-5.570 which have been moved to 10 CSR
10.6.020 ``Definitions and Common Reference Tables''.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is
approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision
amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this action.
A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this
action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this action.
If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will
be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a
subsequent final rule based on this proposed action. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule
and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may
adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule
which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Dixon Airport, Dixon, WY, to support the implementation
of new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

History

    On June 2, 2017, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
in the Federal Register (82 FR 25563) Docket No. FAA-2017-0315, to
establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Dixon Airport, Dixon, WY. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Dixon Airport, Dixon, WY. Controlled airspace is
established within a 7-mile radius of Dixon Airport with a segment 8
miles wide (4 miles each side of a 045[deg] bearing from the airport)
extending to 15.5 miles northeast of the airport to support new RNAV
(GPS) instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the airport.
This action ensures the safety and management of aircraft within the
national airspace system as we transition from ground-based navigation
aids to a satellite-based Global Navigation Satellite System.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2008-0018; Notice 2]

Nissan North America, Inc.; Grant of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan), has determined that certain
vehicles that it manufactured during the period of April 5, 2007 to
July 25, 2007, did not fully comply with paragraph S4.3(b) of 49 CFR
571.110 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 110 Tire
Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles With a GVWR of 4,536 Kilograms
(10,000 Pounds) or Less). On November 6, 2007, Nissan filed an
appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports identifying approximately 321
model year 2008 Nissan Titan E-grade trucks manufactured from April 5
to July 25, 2007, that do not comply with the paragraphs of FMVSS No.
110 cited above.
    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and the rule
implementing those provisions at 49 CFR part 556, Nissan has petitioned
for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49
U.S.C. chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Notice of receipt of the
petition was published, with a 30-day public comment period, on
February 6, 2008 in the Federal Register (73 FR 7031). No comments were
received. To view the petition and all supporting documents log onto
the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) Web site at: http://
www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online search instructions to
locate docket number ``NHTSA-2008-0018.''
    For further information on this decision, contact Mr. John
Finneran, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Paragraph S4.3(b) of 49 CFR 571.110 requires in pertinent part
that:

    S4.3 Placard. Each vehicle * * * shall show the information
specified in S4.3 (a) through (g) * * * on a placard permanently
affixed to the driver's side B-pillar * * *
    (b) Designated seated capacity (expressed in terms of total
number of occupants and number of occupants for each front and rear
seat location)

    Nissan described the noncompliance as an incorrect total vehicle
seating capacity being shown on the tire information placards affixed
to the subject vehicles.
    Specifically, the subject placards incorrectly show the total
vehicle seating capacity as six, with three seating positions in the
front row, and three seating positions in the second row.
    Nissan explained that the subject E-grade Titan trucks are equipped
with optional two front bucket seats. This configuration makes
available two seats in the front row and three in the back row for a
total of five seating positions.
    Nissan stated its belief that the space between the two front
bucket seats is occupied by a hard plastic console with cup holders
that cannot be used or mistaken for a seating position.
    Nissan further supported its belief that the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons:
    1. The front center console area of this vehicle cannot be mistaken
for a seating position because the center console is low to the floor,
has molded-in cup holders, has no padded/cushioned area, and has no
provisions for seatbelts. It is apparent to any observer that there are
only two front seating positions. Even if an occupant referenced the
tire information placard to determine the vehicle's front seating
capacity, it is readily apparent that the total capacity is five and
not six and front row capacity is two and not three.
    2. Because the subject vehicle cannot be occupied by more than five
people, there is no risk of vehicle overloading.
    3. The vehicle capacity weight (expressed as a total weight for
passengers and cargo) on the placard is correct. The seating capacity
error has no impact on the vehicle capacity weight.
    4. All other applicable requirements of FMVSS No. 110 have been
met.
    Nissan also states that there have been no customer complaints,
injuries, or accidents related to the incorrect seating capacity of the
subject tire information placard.
    Additionally, Nissan stated that it believes that because the
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety that no
corrective action is warranted.
    After receipt of the petition, Nissan also informed NHTSA that it
has corrected the problem that caused these errors so that they will
not be repeated in future production.

NHTSA Decision

    NHTSA agrees with Nissan that the noncompliance is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety. As Nissan states, because the vehicles have a
center console mounted between the front two seating positions and no
provisions to accommodate restraint for a center occupant, it is
obvious that the front row seating capacity is two and not three.
Therefore, overloading the vehicles is unlikely because the space
between the front row bucket seats is clearly not intended to be a
seating position. As Nissan additionally points out, the other
information on the tire information placard is correct.
    In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that Nissan
has met its burden of persuasion that the labeling noncompliances
described are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly,
Nissan's petition is granted and the petitioner is exempted from the
obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for, the
noncompliances under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120; delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

    In accordance with section 513(f)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c(f)(1)), devices that were
not in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 (the date of
enactment of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976), generally referred
to as postamendments devices, are classified automatically by statute
into class III without any FDA rulemaking process. These devices remain
in class III and require premarket approval, unless and until the
device is classified or reclassified into class I or II, or FDA issues
an order finding the device to be substantially equivalent, in
accordance with section 513(i) of the FD&C Act, to a predicate device
that does not require premarket approval. The Agency determines whether
new devices are substantially equivalent to predicate devices by means
of premarket notification procedures in section 510(k) of the FD&C Act
(21 U.S.C. 360(k)) and part 807 (21 CFR part 807) of the regulations.
    Section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act, as amended by section 607 of the
Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112-
144), provides two procedures by which a person may request FDA to
classify a device under the criteria set forth in section 513(a)(1).
Under the first procedure, the person submits a premarket notification
under section 510(k) of the FD&C Act for a device that has not
previously been classified and, within 30 days of receiving an order
classifying the device into class III under section 513(f)(1) of the
FD&C Act, the person requests a classification under section 513(f)(2).
Under the second procedure, rather than first submitting a premarket
notification under section 510(k) of the FD&C Act and then a request
for classification under the first procedure, the person determines
that there is no legally marketed device upon which to base a
determination of substantial equivalence and requests a classification
under section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act. If the person submits a
request to classify the device under this second procedure, FDA may
decline to undertake the classification request if FDA identifies a
legally marketed device that could provide a reasonable basis for
review of substantial equivalence with the device or if FDA determines
that the device submitted is not of ``low-moderate risk'' or that
general controls would be inadequate to control the risks and special
controls to mitigate the risks cannot be developed.
    In response to a request to classify a device under either
procedure provided by section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act, FDA will
classify the device by written order within 120 days. This
classification will be the initial classification of the device.
    In accordance with section 513(f)(1) of the FD&C Act, FDA issued an
order on April 12, 2011, automatically classifying the APTIMA
Trichomonas vaginalis Assay in class III, because it was not within a
type of device which was introduced or delivered for introduction into
interstate commerce for commercial distribution before May 28, 1976,
nor which was subsequently reclassified into class I or class II. On
April 13, 2011, Gen-Probe Incorporated, submitted a request for de novo
classification of the APTIMA Trichomonas vaginalis Assay under section
513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act.
    In accordance with section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act, FDA reviewed
the request for de novo classification in order to classify the device
under the criteria for classification set forth in section 513(a)(1) of
the FD&C Act. FDA classifies devices into class II if general controls
by themselves are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of
safety and effectiveness, but there is sufficient information to
establish special controls to provide reasonable assurance of the
safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. After
review of the information submitted in the request, FDA determined that
the device can be classified into class II with the establishment of
special controls. FDA believes these special controls will provide
reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device.
    Therefore, on April 19, 2011, FDA issued an order to the requestor
classifying the device into class II. FDA is codifying the
classification of the device by adding Sec.  866.3860.
    Following the effective date of this final classification
administrative order, any firm submitting a premarket notification
(510(k)) for a Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid assay will need to
comply with the special controls named in the final administrative
order.
    The device is assigned the generic name Trichomonas vaginalis
nucleic acid assay, and it is identified as a device that consists of
primers, probes, enzymes, and controls for the amplification and
detection of trichomonas nucleic acids in endocervical swabs, vaginal
swabs, and female urine specimens, from women symptomatic for
vaginitis, cervicitis, or urethritis and/or to aid in the diagnosis of
trichomoniasis in asymptomatic women. The detection of trichomonas
nucleic acids, in conjunction with other laboratory tests, aids in the
clinical laboratory diagnosis of trichomoniasis caused by Trichomonas
vaginalis.
    FDA has identified the following risks to health associated with
this type of device and the measures required to mitigate these risks:

                               Table 1--Identified Risks and Required Mitigations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Identified risks                                       Required mitigations

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

    FDA believes that the measures set forth in the special controls
guideline entitled ``Class II Special Controls Guideline: Nucleic Acid
Amplification Assays for the Detection of Trichomonas vaginalis'' are
necessary, in addition to general controls, to mitigate the risks to
health described in table 1.
    A Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid assay is a prescription
device. Section

510(m) of the FD&C Act provides that FDA may exempt a class II device
from the premarket notification requirements under section 510(k) of
the FD&C Act if FDA determines that premarket notification is not
necessary to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and
effectiveness of the device. For this type of device, FDA has
determined that premarket notification is necessary to provide
reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device.
Therefore, this type of device is not exempt from premarket
notification requirements. Persons who intend to market this type of
device must submit to FDA a premarket notification, prior to marketing
the device, which contains information about the Trichomonas vaginalis
nucleic acid assay they intend to market.

II. Environmental Impact

    The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.34(b) that this action is
of type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This final administrative order establishes special controls that
refer to previously approved collections of information found in other
FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The collections of
information in part 807, subpart E, regarding premarket notification
submissions have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0120; the
collections of information in 21 CFR part 820 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910-0073; and the collections of information in 21
CFR parts 801 and 809 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0485.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 866

    Biologics, Laboratories, Medical devices.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part
866 is amended as follows:

PART 866--IMMUNOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY DEVICES

0
1. The authority citation for 21 CFR part 866 continues to read as
follows:

    Authority: 21 U.S.C. 351, 360, 360c, 360e, 360j, 371.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
the By-Laws of FINRA Regulation, Inc. To Align the Grounds for Member
Removal From the NAC With an Existing Provision in the FINRA By-Laws

November 3, 2020.
    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 October 22, 2020, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') 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 FINRA. 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 Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to amend the By-Laws of FINRA Regulation, Inc.
(``FINRA Regulation''), FINRA's regulatory subsidiary, to further align
the grounds for member removal from the National Adjudicatory Council
(``NAC'') with an existing provision in the FINRA By-Laws related to
the removal of a FINRA Governor from the FINRA Board of Governors
(``FINRA Board'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ In 2008, the FINRA Regulation By-Laws were amended to, among
other things, designate the FINRA Board as the body authorized to
oversee the NAC and empowered to remove NAC members for refusal,
failure, neglect, or inability to discharge duties. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 58909 (November 6, 2008), 73 FR 68467
(November 18, 2008) (Order Approving File No. SR-FINRA-2008-046).
Under the FINRA By-Laws, members of the FINRA Board can be removed
under the same grounds, plus an additional ground. See infra note 8.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    FINRA Regulation is the regulatory subsidiary of FINRA and operates
according to the Plan of Allocation and Delegation of Functions by
FINRA to Subsidiaries (the ``Plan'').\4\ The FINRA Regulation By-Laws
authorize the NAC to function on behalf of the FINRA Board in several
capacities.\5\ For example, the NAC presides over disciplinary matters
appealed to or called for review by the NAC; acts on applications in
statutory disqualification and membership proceedings; exercises
exemptive authority; and acts in other proceedings as set forth in the
FINRA Rule 9000 Series (Code of Procedure). The FINRA Board may also
delegate other powers and duties to the NAC as the FINRA Board deems
appropriate and in a manner not inconsistent with the Plan.\6\ For most
matters that the NAC considers, the NAC prepares proposed written
decisions that become final FINRA action if the FINRA Board does not
call them for review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Plan, II. FINRA Regulation, Inc., https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/corporate-organization/ii-finra-regulation-inc.
    \5\ See Article V, Sec. 5.1 of the FINRA Regulation By-Laws.
    \6\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA periodically reviews its and FINRA Regulation's By-Laws to
ensure adherence to effective governance practices. The FINRA
Regulation By-Laws currently permit the FINRA Board to remove ``any or
all members'' of the NAC from office at any time for refusal, failure,
neglect, or inability to discharge the duties of the office.\7\ By
comparison, the FINRA By-Laws include those grounds for removal of a
Governor from the FINRA Board plus an additional ground allowing for
removal for any cause affecting the best interests of FINRA the
sufficiency of which the FINRA Board shall be the sole judge.\8\ The
proposed rule change would amend Article V, Section 5.8 of the FINRA
Regulation By-Laws to align the bases for removal of a member of the
NAC in the FINRA Regulation By-Laws with those of the FINRA By-Laws for
removal of a Governor. Specifically, the proposed rule change would
provide that a NAC member could be removed by a majority vote of the
FINRA Board for any cause affecting the best interests of the NAC, the
sufficiency of which the FINRA Board shall be the sole judge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Article V, Section 5.8 of the FINRA Regulation By-Laws.
    \8\ See Article VII, Section 1(b) of the FINRA By-Laws.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA notes that the voting threshold for removal of a NAC member
differs from that of a Governor. The former requires a majority vote of
the FINRA Board, while the latter requires a two-thirds vote.\9\ The
higher voting threshold for removal of a Governor reflects the
historical standard that existed at the National Association of
Securities Dealers (``NASD'') prior to its 2007 merger with the member
regulation, enforcement and arbitration operations of the New York
Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') that formed FINRA, and provides an additional
safeguard at the FINRA Board level to ensure a diverse, majority non-
industry composition, and fair representation of the industry in
governance matters.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Both FINRA and FINRA Regulation are corporations organized
under Delaware law. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides
that, in general, directors may be removed by a majority vote of the
shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. See Del.
Code Ann. tit. 8, Sec.  141(k). While the standard for removal of
NAC members is not directly subject to the Delaware General
Corporation Law, FINRA has adopted a removal threshold for NAC
members that is consistent with the removal threshold for directors
under the Delaware Corporation Law.
    \10\ The FINRA Regulation By-Laws addressing the composition of
the NAC also provide for a diverse, majority non-industry
composition, and for the fair representation of industry. See
Article V, Section 5.2(a) of the FINRA Regulation By-Laws; See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78094 (June 17, 2016), 81 FR
40932, 40934-35 (June 23, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given the NAC's adjudicatory role, the best interests of the NAC
are more targeted than the best interests of FINRA. The best interests
of the NAC are reflected in conduct and attributes that ensure that the
NAC remains an unbiased and competent adjudicatory body that is free of
conflicts of interest, that its members conduct themselves with
integrity, and that its decisions are rendered fairly and consistently
with the law and rules that govern FINRA members and their associated
persons. In considering whether to remove a NAC member for a cause
affecting the best interests of the NAC, the FINRA Board may consider,
among other things, a NAC member's adherence to general standards
concerning actual and apparent adjudicator conflicts of interest and
bias,\11\ and to the NAC's Conflict of Interest and Bias Policy
(``Policy''). The Policy sets forth broad-based principles of behavior
that are expected from NAC members.\12\ Removal of a NAC member

from office is a facts and circumstances determination. The additional
removal authority provided in the proposed rule change may, depending
on the facts and circumstances, overlap in part with the FINRA Board's
existing authority to remove a NAC member. However, depending on the
facts and circumstances, it may also provide an additional basis for
removal for a cause affecting the best interests of the NAC that does
not fall within the scope of the FINRA Board's current removal
authority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See, e.g., Article IV, Section 4.14(a) of the FINRA
Regulation By-Laws.
    \12\ The principles outlined in the Policy are Independence,
Impartiality, Integrity, Accountability and Transparency; and place
upon NAC adjudicators the responsibility for recognizing and
reporting actual and apparent conflicts of interest and bias.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to balance the NAC's ability to perform certain actions on
behalf of FINRA \13\ with the FINRA Board's authority to review such
actions,\14\ FINRA believes that it is reasonable and appropriate to
amend the FINRA Regulation By-Laws to align the grounds under which
members of the NAC and FINRA Board can be removed. In doing so, the
proposed rule change will strengthen the FINRA Board's oversight of the
NAC and benefit the appellate portion of FINRA's disciplinary process,
in which the NAC prepares the decision that becomes FINRA's final
action in the vast majority of cases.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See supra note 5.
    \14\ See Plan, I(B). FINRA, Inc., https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/corporate-organization/i-finra-inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Commission approves the proposed rule change, the effective
date of the proposed rule change will be the date of Commission
approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\15\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest; and Section 15A(b)(4) of the Act, which requires,
among other things, that FINRA rules be designed to assure a fair
representation of FINRA's members in the administration of its
affairs.\16\ FINRA believes that the proposed By-Laws change will
strengthen its governance practices by aligning grounds for removal of
NAC members with those of the FINRA Governors. The FINRA By-Law
provision that allows for the Board's direct ability to remove a
Governor for any cause affecting the best interests of FINRA existed in
the By-Laws of the NASD prior to its 2007 merger with the NYSE, and was
also a part of the By-Laws that were previously found to meet the
statutory requirement when the NASD merged with the member regulation,
enforcement and arbitration operations of the NYSE to form FINRA.\17\
FINRA also believes applying the same standard to removal of NAC
members will support a fair and impartial disciplinary process for
members and their associated persons. FINRA further believes that the
proposed rule change will strengthen investor protection and further
the public interest by bolstering the integrity of the NAC and
strengthening existing FINRA Regulation By-Laws that foster a framework
in which NAC members may perform their duties free from bias or
conflicts of interest. In addition, FINRA believes that the proposed
rule change furthers FINRA's ability to assure a fair representation of
FINRA members on the NAC by enhancing the FINRA Board's ability to
remove NAC members for conduct that might hamper the NAC's adjudicatory
function.

2008) (Order Approving File No. SR-NASD-2007-023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. FINRA has evaluated the
potential for economic impacts associated with the proposed rule change
and determined that no material costs or benefits were likely to arise.
The proposed rule change would not require member firms or other
persons appearing before the NAC to incur any direct costs or change
their behaviors in any way. All potential actions taken pursuant to the
proposed rule change would be taken by the FINRA Board. Further,
FINRA's other By-Law provisions remain unchanged, so the proposed rule
change will have no material impact on fair process to litigants.

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

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on a Parcel Swap at
Belfast Municipal Airport in Belfast, ME

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

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

SUMMARY: Under our provisions this notice is being given that the FAA
is considering a request from the City of Belfast in Belfast, ME to
swap two parcels of land between the City of Belfast and the State of
Maine Department of Defense and Veterans Services (Military Bureau) for
the construction of a parallel taxiway at Belfast Municipal Airport in
Belfast, ME.
    The Airport wishes to construct a parallel taxiway for Runway 15-
33, and in order for the taxiway to be constructed to FAA standards,
the Airport needs to acquire land from the adjacent landholder, the
Military Bureau. The Military Bureau indicated that from a practical
point, a land swap would be the most efficient option for them to
release land to the Airport. The parcel the Airport is seeking to
release and dispose of is currently not needed for aviation purposes.
Both the City of Belfast and the Military Bureau have obtained the
proper approvals from the Belfast City Council and the Maine State
Legislature to release the two parcels of land in April and October of
2015, respectively.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 18, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments using any of the following methods:
