    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently
received by the Secretary of the Commission. The communications listed

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

[Docket No. PHMSA-2017-0122; Notice No. 2017-10]

Hazardous Materials: Emergency Waiver No. 4

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Notice of emergency waiver order.

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

SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is
issuing an emergency waiver order to persons conducting operations
under the direction of Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 or
United States Coast Guard 7th District within the Hurricane Maria
emergency and disaster areas of Puerto Rico and the United States
Virgin Islands. This Waiver Order is effective September 22, 2017, and
shall remain in effect for 30 days from the date of issuance.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adam Horsley, Deputy Assistant Chief
Counsel for Hazardous Materials Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 5103(c), the Acting Administrator for the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), hereby declares that an
emergency exists that warrants issuance of a Waiver of the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR, 49 CFR parts 171-180) to persons conducting
operations under the direction of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Region 2 (290 Broadway, New York, NY 10007-1866) or United States Coast
Guard (USCG) 7th District (Brickell Plaza Federal Building, 909 SE 1st
Avenue, Miami, FL 33131-3050) within the Hurricane Maria emergency and
disaster areas of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. The
Waiver is granted to support EPA and USCG in taking appropriate actions
to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a threat to public health,
welfare, or the environment caused by actual or potential oil and
hazardous materials incidents resulting from Hurricane Maria.
    On September 18, 2017, the President issued an Emergency
Declarations for Hurricane Maria for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
(EM-3391) and the United States Virgin Islands (EM-3390). On September
20, 2017, the President issued a Major Disaster Declaration for the
United States Virgin Islands (DR-4340).
    This Waiver Order covers all areas identified in the declarations,
as amended. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5103(c), PHMSA has authority
delegated by the Secretary (49 CFR 1.97(b)(3)) to waive compliance with
any part of the HMR provided that the grant of the waiver is: (1) In
the public interest; (2) not inconsistent with the safety of
transporting hazardous materials; and (3) necessary to facilitate the
safe movement of hazardous materials into, from, and within an area of
a major disaster or emergency that has been declared under the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
5121 et seq.).
    Given the continuing impacts caused by Hurricane Maria, PHMSA's
Acting Administrator has determined that regulatory relief is in the
public interest and necessary to ensure the safe transportation in
commerce of hazardous materials while EPA and USCG execute their
recovery and cleanup efforts in Puerto Rico and the United States
Virgin Islands. Specifically, PHMSA's Acting Administrator finds that
issuing this Waiver Order will allow EPA and USCG to conduct their
emergency support function under the National Response Framework to
safely remove, transport, and dispose of hazardous materials. By
execution of this Waiver Order, persons conducting operations under the
direction of EPA Region 2 or USCG 7th District within the Hurricane
Maria emergency and disaster areas of Puerto Rico and the United States
Virgin Islands are authorized to offer and transport non-radioactive
hazardous materials under alternative safety

requirements imposed by EPA Region 2 or USCG 7th District when
compliance with the HMR is not practicable. Under this Waiver Order,
non-radioactive hazardous materials may be transported to staging areas
within 50 miles of the point of origin. Further transportation of the
hazardous materials from staging areas must be in full compliance with
the HMR.
    This Waiver Order is effective September 22, 2017, and shall remain
in effect for 30 days from the date of issuance.

    Issued in Washington, DC.
Drue Pearce,
Acting Administrator, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63146; File No. SR-BATS-2010-030]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Related to
Fees for Use of BATS Exchange, Inc.

October 21, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'')\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on October 14, 2010, BATS Exchange, Inc. (``BATS'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``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 modify its fee schedule applicable to
Members\3\ of the Exchange pursuant to BATS Rules 15.1(a) and (c).
While changes to the fee schedule pursuant to this proposal will be
effective upon filing, the changes will become operative on October 15,
2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A Member is any registered broker or dealer that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to modify the ``Equities Pricing'' section of
its fee schedule to adopt pricing for two new order routing strategies,
named TRIM and SLIM, and for a Destination Specific Order sent to the
Exchange's affiliate, BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. The Exchange also proposes
to modify the ``Options Pricing'' section of its fee schedule to adopt
pricing for Destination Specific orders routed to the new C2 Options
Exchange. Finally, the Exchange proposes certain non-substantive
changes related to the appearance of the fee schedule.
(i) Adoption of TRIM Pricing
    The Exchange proposes to adopt pricing for its new TRIM order
routing strategy, which strategy is focused on seeking execution of
orders while minimizing execution costs by routing only to certain low
cost execution venues on the Exchange's System routing table. The
Exchange proposes to rebate Members $0.0003 per share for TRIM orders
routed to and executed by its affiliated exchange, BATS Y-Exchange,
Inc. (``BYX''), which is the same rebate to be offered by BYX to market
participants that route directly to and execute at BYX. For executions
through TRIM routing that occur at a dark liquidity venue (identified
by the Exchange as a ``DRT'' venue) or the NYSE, the Exchange proposes
to charge $0.0020 per share. Finally, to the extent an order routed
through TRIM executes at a low-priced venue other than BYX, a DRT venue
or NYSE, the Exchange proposes neither to charge the Member

any fee nor to pay any rebate for such execution.
(ii) Adoption of SLIM Pricing
    The Exchange proposes to adopt pricing for its new SLIM order
routing strategy, which, similar to TRIM, is focused on seeking
execution of orders while minimizing execution costs by routing to
certain low cost execution venues on the Exchange's System routing
table. The primary distinction between TRIM and SLIM is that SLIM will
route first to low cost execution venues but will ultimately route to
all venues on the Exchange's System routing table, whereas TRIM only
routes to low cost execution venues. As with TRIM, the Exchange
proposes to rebate Members $0.0003 per share for SLIM orders routed to
and executed by its affiliated exchange, BYX. For executions through
SLIM routing that occur at the NYSE, the Exchange proposes to charge
$0.0020 per share. Finally, to the extent an order routed through SLIM
executes at any other venue, including any DRT venue, the Exchange
proposes to charge $0.0026 per share.
(iii) Destination Specific Equities Routing to BYX
    The Exchange proposes to adopt pricing for a Destination Specific
Order \4\ routed to and executed by its affiliated exchange, BYX. The
Exchange proposes to refer to this routing as ``B2B'' routing, and
proposes to rebate $0.0003 per share for B2B orders routed to and
executed by BYX. As described above, this is the same rebate applicable
to orders routed to BYX directly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As defined in BATS Rule 11.9(c)(12).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) Destination Specific Options Routing to C2
    As set forth in the Options pricing section of the fee schedule,
the Exchange currently charges flat rates for Customer, Firm and Market
Maker transactions executed at away markets pursuant to Destination
Specific Order \5\ routing strategies, which rates vary depending on
the venue at which transactions execute.\6\ The Exchange has two
distinct categories of options exchanges with ``Make/Take'' pricing.\7\
The first category of Make/Take pricing is proposed to apply to
Destination Specific Orders executed at the International Stock
Exchange (``ISE'') or NASDAQ OMX PHLX (``PHLX'') in issues for which
Make/Take pricing applies. The fee for this first category of Make/Take
markets is proposed as $0.20 per contract for Customer transactions and
$0.50 per contract for Firm or Market Maker transactions. The Exchange
proposes to add the soon to be operational C2 Options Exchange (``C2'')
to this category of Destination Specific routing. The Exchange believes
that Members will benefit from the simplicity of the pricing structure,
and that C2 pricing will be most consistent with the pricing offered by
ISE and PHLX in issues for which Make/Take pricing applies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ As defined in BATS Rule 21.1(d)(7).
    \6\ The current form of the Exchange's Destination Specific
routing fees were recently adopted. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 63085 (October 8, 2010) (SR-BATS-2010-026).
    \7\ As defined on the fee schedule, Make/Take pricing refers to
executions at the identified Exchange under which ``Post Liquidity''
or ``Maker'' rebates (``Make'') are credited by that exchange and
``Take Liquidity'' or ``Taker'' fees (``Take'') are charged by that
Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v) Additional Changes
    In addition to the changes described above, the Exchange proposes
adding additional headings to its fee schedule in order to maintain
clear delineation between its equities and options pricing sections.
The Exchange also proposes to move a footnote within the equities
pricing section of the fee schedule to maintain its position at the
bottom of the page in the version of the fee schedule maintained on its
Web site.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\8\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\9\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the
Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange notes that it operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive. The Exchange believes that its fees
and credits are competitive with those charged by other venues.
Finally, the Exchange believes that the proposed rates are equitable in
that they apply uniformly to all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \9\ 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 imposes
any burden on competition.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change has been designated as a fee
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \10\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\11\ because it establishes or changes a due,
fee or other charge imposed on members by the Exchange. Accordingly,
the proposal is effective upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP12-54-000]

Town of Walden, Colorado; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on February 1, 2012, Town of Walden, Colorado
(Walden) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) an application under section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) for determination of a service area within which Walden may,
without further Commission authorization, provide natural gas
distribution service to customers in Colorado and Wyoming. Walden
requests that the Commission: (1) Determine that Walden is a local
distribution company for purposes of Section 311 of the NGPA; (2) grant
Walden a service area determination pursuant to Section 7(f) of the NGA
as described in the body of this Application; (3) grant Walden a waiver
of all regulatory, accounting, and reporting requirements applicable to
natural gas companies under the NGA and the NGPA with respect to the
activities covered by this Application and the designated service area;
and (4) grant such further relief as the Commission may deem
appropriate, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing is
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site web at http://www.ferc.gov
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-
free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Bruce
S. Asay, Esq., 1807 Capitol Avenue 203, Cheyenne, WY 82001, or
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or by email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or to
Steven Shute, contract operator of Walden Gas at P.O. Box 1054,
Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 or telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or by email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit seven copies of filings made in the proceeding with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two
copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The
Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate
action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to
make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules
require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.

Amendment 39-17661; AD 2013-23-06]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 757-200 and -200PF series airplanes. This AD
was prompted by reports indicating that a standard access door was
located where an impact-resistant access door was required, and
stencils were missing from some impact-resistant access doors. This AD
requires an inspection of the left- and right-hand wing fuel tank
access doors to determine that impact-resistant access doors are
installed in the correct locations, and to replace any door with an
impact-resistant access door if necessary. This AD also requires an
inspection for stencils and index markers on impact-resistant access
doors, and application of new stencils or index markers if necessary.
This AD also requires revising the maintenance program to incorporate
changes to the airworthiness limitations section. We are issuing this
AD to prevent foreign object penetration of the fuel tank, which could
cause a fuel leak near an ignition source (e.g., hot brakes or engine
exhaust nozzle), consequently leading to a fuel-fed fire.

DATES: This AD is effective December 30, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of December 30,
2013.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Attention: Data & Services Management,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2013 (78 FR
49379). The NPRM proposed to require an inspection of the left- and
right-hand wing fuel tank access doors to determine that impact-
resistant access doors are installed in the correct locations, and to
replace any door with an impact-resistant access door if necessary. The
NPRM also proposed to require an inspection for stencils and index
markers on impact-resistant access doors, and application of new
stencils or index markers if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to
require revising the maintenance program to incorporate changes to the
airworthiness limitations section.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comments received. The Boeing Company
and Aviation Partners Boeing stated that they support the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 49379, August 14, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 49379, August 14, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 86 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.

                                      = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
replacements.

                                               On-Condition Costs

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

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the

Bulletin 757-28-0118, dated January 12, 2012.
    (1) Do a general visual inspection of the left- and right-hand
wing fuel tank access doors to determine whether impact-resistant
access doors are installed in the correct locations. If any standard
access door is found, before further flight, replace with an impact-
resistant access door, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 757-28-0118, dated January
12, 2012.
    (2) Do a general visual inspection of the left- and right-hand
wing fuel tank impact-resistant access doors to verify stencils and
index markers are applied. If a stencil or index marker is missing,
before further flight, apply stencil or index marker, as applicable,
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service
Bulletin 757-28-0118, dated January 12, 2012.

(h) Maintenance Program Revision

    Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the
maintenance program to incorporate critical design configuration
control limitations (CDCCLs) Task 57-AWL-01, ``Impact-Resistant Fuel
Tank Access Doors,'' of Section 9, Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs)
and Certification Requirements (CMRs) of Boeing 757 Maintenance
Planning Data Document D622N001-9, Revision August 2012.

(i) No Alternative Actions, Intervals, and/or CDCCLs

    After accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (h) of
this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, and/
or CDCCLs may be used unless the actions, intervals, and/or CDCCLs
are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this
AD.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing collection of
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of
the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires OSHA to obtain
such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent
feasible unnecessary

duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The Standard specifies two paperwork requirements. The following
sections describe who uses the information collected under each
requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of the
requirements is to reduce workers' risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that manlifts are in safe operating condition.
    Periodic Inspections and Records (paragraph (e)). This provision
requires that each manlift be inspected at least once every 30 days and
it also requires that limit switches shall be checked weekly. The
manlift inspection is to cover at least the following items: Steps;
step fastenings; rails; rail supports and fastenings; rollers and
slides; belt and belt tension; handholds and fastenings; floor
landings; guardrails; lubrication; limit switches; warning signs and
lights; illumination; drive pulley; bottom (boot) pulley and clearance;
pulley supports; motor; driving mechanism; brake; electrical switches;
vibration and misalignment; and any ``skip'' on the up or down run when
mounting a step (indicating worn gears). A certification record of the
inspection must be prepared upon completion of the inspection. The
record must contain the date of the inspection, the signature of the
person who performed the inspection, and the serial number or other
identifier of the inspected manlift.
    Disclosure of Inspection Certification Records. The agency has no
annualized cost associated with enforcing the Standard. OSHA would only
review records in the context of an investigation of a particular
employer to determine compliance with the Standard. These activities
are outside the scope of the PRA. See 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2).

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The agency is requesting no change to the burden hours associated
with this Information Collection Request. Therefore, the agency would
like to retain the previous estimate of 37,800 hours.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Manlifts (29 CFR 1910.68).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0226.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
    Number of Responses: 36,000.
    Frequency of Responses: On Occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Varies.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 37,800.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

IV. Public Participation--Submission of Comments on This Notice and
Internet Access to Comments and Submissions

    You may submit comments in response to this document as follows:
(1) Electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, which is the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Overview

    The Mecklenburg County LIP was submitted to EPA on June 14, 1990,
and EPA approved the plan on May 2, 1991. See 56 FR 20140. Mecklenburg
County is now requesting that EPA approve updates and additions to the
LIP for, among other things, general consistency with the North
Carolina SIP.\1\ Mecklenburg County prepared three submittals in order
to modify the LIP and reflect regulatory and administrative changes
that NCDAQ has made to the North Carolina SIP.\2\ The three submittals
were submitted to EPA as follows: NCDAQ transmitted the October 25,
2017, submittal to EPA but withdrew it from review through a letter
dated February 15, 2019. On April 24, 2020, NCDAQ resubmitted the
October 25, 2017, update to EPA and also submitted the January 21,
2016, and January 14, 2019, updates. Due to an inconsistency with
public notice at the local level, these submittals were withdrawn from
EPA through a letter dated February 15, 2019. Mecklenburg County
corrected this error, and NCDAQ submitted the updates in a revision
dated April 24, 2020.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Hereinafter, the terms ``North Carolina SIP'' and ``SIP''
refer to the North Carolina regulatory portion of the North Carolina
SIP (i.e., the portion that contains SIP-approved North Carolina
regulations).
    \2\ The Mecklenburg County, North Carolina revision that is
dated April 24, 2020, and received by EPA on June 19, 2020, is
comprised of three previous submittals--one dated January 21, 2016;
one dated October 25, 2017; and one dated January 14, 2019.
    \3\ EPA notes that the April 24, 2020, submittal was received by
EPA on June 19, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. What action is EPA proposing to take?

    The April 24, 2020, revision includes updates to and additions of
several MCAPCO rules. The January 21, 2016, changes from MCAQ include
updates to MCAPCO Rule 1.5214--Commencement of Operation; and the
January 14, 2019, changes from MCAQ include updates to MCAPCO Rules
1.5212--Applications; 1.5213--Action on Application; Issuance of
Permit; 1.5215--Application Processing Schedule; 1.5219--Retention of
Permit at Permitted Facility; 1.5221--

Permitting of Numerous Similar Facilities; 1.5222--Permitting of
Facilities at Multiple Temporary Sites; and 1.5232--Issuance,
Revocation, and Enforcement of Permits.\4\ Additionally, the January
14, 2019, portion of the revision requests approval of MCAPCO Rules
1.5217--Confidential Information; 1.5218--Compliance Schedule for
Previously Exempted Activities; and 1.5220--Applicability
Determinations.\5\ The remainder of this section discusses all of the
aforementioned rules and any proposed changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The April 24, 2020 revision contains changes to other
Mecklenburg LIP-approved rules that are not addressed in this
notice. EPA will be acting on those rules in separate actions.
    \5\ MCAPCO Rules 1.5217--Confidential Information; 1.5218--
Compliance Schedule for Previously Exempted Activities; and 1.5220--
Applicability Determinations were erroneously included in the table
at 40 CFR 52.1770(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Rule 1.5212, ``Applications''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5212, Applications,
under Article 1.0000, Permitting Provisions for Air Pollution Sources,
Rules and Operating Regulations for Acid Rain Sources, Title V and
Toxic Air Pollutants, by correcting grammatical errors and updating
references. MCAQ also added language concerning procedures for
submitting determination letters to the Director and language
concerning the submittal of confidential information. This rule
outlines the procedures that permit applicants should follow to
complete a permit application for MCAQ. EPA last approved changes to
the LIP-approved version of the rule on June 30, 2003. See 68 FR 38631.
The current changes to Rule 1.5212 remove redundant language and
reference Rule 1.5102, Definitions, in order to streamline the rule and
better outline the official responsible for reviewing the permit
applications. The North Carolina SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC 02Q
.0304, Applications, which EPA most recently revised on March 1, 2021.
See 86 FR 11875. EPA is proposing to approve the updates to Rule 1.5212
because the changes improve clarity of the rule, better define the
individual or individuals responsible for reviewing permit
applications, and better align the LIP with the SIP.

B. Rule 1.5213, ``Action on Application; Issuance of Permit''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5213, Action on
Application; Issuance of Permit, by correcting grammatical errors and
updating references. This rule outlines, among other things, the
schedule, public participation requirements, and steps that must be
completed for a facility to be issued a permit. EPA last approved
changes to the LIP-approved version of the rule on June 30, 2003. See
68 FR 38631. The North Carolina SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC 02Q
.0308, Final Action on Permit Applications, which EPA most recently
revised on March 1, 2021. See 86 FR 11875. EPA is proposing to approve
the updates to Rule 1.5213 because the changes improve the clarity of
the rule and better align the LIP with the SIP.

C. Rule 1.5214, ``Commencement of Operation''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5214, Commencement of
Operation, by updating the list of permitting rules triggering an
inspection within 90 days after MCAQ receives a notification of
completion. EPA last approved changes to the LIP-approved version of
the rule on June 30, 2003. See 68 FR 38631. Rule 1.5214 outlines, among
other things, the requirements for a permittee to notify MCAQ of the
completion of construction, alteration, or installation and its intent
to commence operation and identifies the sources subject to inspection
within 90 days after providing such notice. The change updates the
reference to MCAQ's rule on National Emissions Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants from Rule 2.0525 to Rule 2.1110.\6\ EPA is proposing to
approve the update to Rule 1.5214 because the change corrects an
erroneous cross-reference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Although not shown by underlined text as a change in the
January 21, 2016, submittal, this correction is the only change made
to the LIP-approved version of Rule 1.5214.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Rule 1.5215, ``Application Processing Schedule''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5215, Application
Processing Schedule, by making minor regulatory updates and grammatical
corrections. This rule outlines a schedule that MCAQ must follow for
processing applications for permits, permit modifications, and permit
renewals. EPA last approved changes to the LIP-approved version of the
rule on June 30, 2003. See 68 FR 38631. The regulatory revision states
the Director shall cease processing of an application if it contains
insufficient information to complete a review. Previously, the Rule
stated that the Director may return the application if incomplete. The
North Carolina SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC 02Q .0312,
Application Processing Schedule, which EPA most recently revised on
March 1, 2021. See 86 FR 11875. EPA is proposing to approve the updates
to Rule 1.5214 because the changes are minor in nature and better align
the LIP with the SIP.

E. Rule 1.5217, ``Confidential Information''

    The April 24, 2020, revision includes Rule 1.5217, Confidential
Information, regarding the submittal, evaluation, and handling of
confidential information. The North Carolina SIP has an analog rule at
15A NCAC 02Q .0107, Confidential Information, which EPA most recently
revised on July 17, 2020. See 85 FR 43461. EPA is proposing to
incorporate Rule 1.5217 into the LIP to better align the LIP with the
SIP.

F. Rule 1.5218, ``Compliance Schedule for Previously Exempted
Activities''

    The April 24, 2020, revision includes Rule 1.5218, Compliance
Schedule for Previously Exempted Activities, which contains the
schedule for permit application or revision for sources that were
exempt from permitting but are now required to be permitted because of
a change in permit exemptions or because the source became subject to
40 CFR part 63. The North Carolina SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC
02Q .0109, Compliance Schedule for Previously Exempted Activities,
which EPA most recently revised on July 17, 2020. See 85 FR 43461. EPA
is proposing to approve incorporate Rule 1.5218 into the LIP to add
certainty regarding the permitting schedule for certain facilities and
better align the LIP with the SIP.

G. Rule 1.5219, ``Retention of Permit at Permitted Facility''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5219, Retention of
Permit at Permitted Facility, by making minor grammatical corrections.
EPA incorporated this rule into the LIP on July 28, 1995, and it
requires permitted facilities to retain copies of all active permits at
the facility identified in the permit. See 60 FR 38715. The North
Carolina SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC 02Q .0110, Retention of
Permit at Permitted Facility, which EPA most recently revised on July
17, 2020. See 85 FR 43461. EPA is proposing to approve the updates to
Rule 1.5219 because they are minor grammatical corrections and better
align the LIP with the SIP.

H. Rule 1.5220, ``Applicability Determinations''

    The April 24, 2020, revision includes Rule 1.5220, Applicability
Determinations, which states that any person can write the Director
requesting a determination as to whether a source that the person owns
or operates or proposes to own or operate is subject to

Article 1.0000 permitting requirements. The North Carolina SIP has an
analog rule at 15A NCAC 02Q .0111, Applicability Determinations, which
EPA most recently revised on July 17, 2020. See 85 FR 43461. EPA is
proposing to incorporate Rule 1.5218 into the LIP to better align the
LIP with the SIP.

I. Rule 1.5221, ``Permitting of Numerous Similar Facilities''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5221, Permitting of
Numerous Similar Facilities, by making grammatical corrections. EPA
incorporated this rule into the LIP on July 28, 1995, and it states
that the Director shall not issue a single permit for multiple
facilities unless there is no difference between the facilities that
would require special permit conditions for any individual facility and
no unique analysis is required for any facility covered by the permit.
See 60 FR 38715. The North Carolina SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC
02Q .0310, Permitting of Numerous Similar Facilities, which EPA most
recently revised on March 1, 2021. See 86 FR 11875. EPA is proposing to
approve the updates to Rule 1.5221 because they are minor grammatical
corrections and better align the LIP with the SIP.

J. Rule 1.5222, ``Permitting of Facilities at Multiple Temporary
Sites''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5222, Permitting of
Facilities at Multiple Temporary Sites, by making minor grammatical
corrections. EPA initially incorporated this rule into the LIP on July
28, 1995, which governs the permitting of a facility or source at
multiple temporary operating sites. See 60 FR 38715. The North Carolina
SIP has an analog rule at 15A NCAC 02Q .0311, Permitting of Facilities
at Multiple Temporary Sites, which EPA most recently revised on March
1, 2021. See 86 FR 11875. EPA is proposing to approve the updates to
Rule 1.5222 because the changes are minor grammatical corrections and
better align the LIP with the SIP.

K. Rule 1.5232, ``Issuance, Revocation, and Enforcement of Permits''

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 1.5232, Issuance,
Revocation, and Enforcement of Permits, by making minor grammatical
corrections. Among other things, this rule identifies criteria for
revoking or modifying a permit issued under Section 1.5200--Air Quality
Permits or Section 1.5600--Transportation Facility Procedures and
enforcement provisions for the failure to apply for and obtain a permit
under Section 1.5200 and for violations of a Section 1.5200 permit. EPA
last approved changes to Rule 1.5232 on June 30, 2003. See 68 FR 38631.
EPA is proposing to approve the updates to Rule 1.5215 because the
changes are minor grammatical corrections.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporated by
reference MCAPCO Rule 1.5214--Commencement of Operation, which has an
effective date of December 15, 2015; and Rules 1.5212--Applications;
1.5213--Action on Application; Issuance of Permit; 1.5215--Application

1.5232--Issuance, Revocation, and Enforcement of Permits, all of which
have an effective date of December 18, 2018, into the Mecklenburg
County portion of the North Carolina SIP. EPA has made and will
continue to make these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the ``For Further Information Contact'' section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned changes to the
Mecklenburg LIP. Specifically, EPA is proposing to approve updates to
MCAPCO Rules 1.5212--Applications; 1.5213--Action on Application;
Issuance of Permit; 1.5215--Application Processing Schedule; 1.5219--
Retention of Permit at Permitted Facility; 1.5221--Permitting of
Numerous Similar Facilities; 1.5222--Permitting of Facilities at
Multiple Temporary Sites; and 1.5232--Issuance, Revocation, and
Enforcement of Permits. Additionally, EPA is proposing to approve
MCAPCO Rules 1.5217--Confidential Information; 1.5218--Compliance
Schedule for Previously Exempted Activities; and 1.5220--Applicability
Determinations into the LIP. EPA is proposing to approve these changes
because they are consistent with the CAA.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided they meet the criteria of the CAA. This proposed action merely
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed 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);
     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 CAA; and
     Does not provide 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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where 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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9,

2000), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copy Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form N-14; SEC File No. 270-297; OMB Control No. 3235-0336.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget requests for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Form N-14 (17 CFR 239.23)--Registration Statement Under the
Securities Act of 1933 for Securities Issued in Business Combination
Transactions by Investment Companies and Business Development
Companies. Form N-14 is used by investment companies registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.)
(``Investment Company Act'') and business development companies as
defined by Section 2(a)(48) of the Investment Company Act to register
securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.)
(``Securities Act'') to be issued in business combination transactions
specified in rule 145(a) under the Securities Act (17 CFR 230.145(a))
and exchange offers. The securities are registered under the Securities
Act to ensure that investors receive the material information necessary
to evaluate securities issued in business combination transactions. The
Commission staff reviews registration statements on Form N-14 for the
adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure contained therein. Without Form
N-14, the Commission would be unable to verify compliance with
securities law requirements. The respondents to the collection of
information are investment companies or business development companies
issuing securities in business combination transactions. The estimated
number of responses is 286 (including 266 registrants that file one new
registration statement on Form N-14 each year and 20 registrants that
file one amendment to Form N-14 each year) and the collection occurs
only when a merger or other business combination is planned. The
estimated total annual reporting burden of the collection of
information is approximately 620 hours per response for a new
registration statement, and approximately 350 hours per response for an
amended Form N-14, for a total of 171,920 annual burden hours.
Providing the information on Form N-14 is mandatory. Responses will not
be kept confidential. Estimates of the burden hours are made solely for
the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
SEC rules and forms.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to
the following persons:
    (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office
of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to Shagufta Ahmed at Shagufta_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, Securities
and Exchange Commission,

C/O Remi Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or
send an e-mail to: PRA--Mailbox @sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to
OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: August 30, 2010.

Deputy Secretary.
