DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0017]

Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for the Integrated
Public Alert and Warning Program's Construction Projects

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has prepared a
draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) to address the
potential impacts to the human environment resulting from construction-
related actions taken under the Integrated Public Alert and Warning
Program (IPAWS). The construction actions will be taken to ensure that
FEMA meets its responsibilities under Executive Order 13407, Public
Alert and Warning System, by providing robust and survivable power
generation, fuel storage, and other measures to ensure an effective,
reliable, integrated, flexible, and comprehensive system to alert and
warn the American people in situations of war, terrorist attack,
natural disaster, or other hazards to public safety and well being. The
purpose of the PEA is to evaluate these actions and facilitate FEMA's
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by
providing a framework to address the potential environmental impacts of
these projects.

DATES: Comments on the draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment may
be submitted on or before June 10, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket ID FEMA-2010-
0017, by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the draft Programmatic
Environmental Assessment (PEA) is to evaluate construction-related
actions of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning Program (IPAWS) and
facilitate FEMA's compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) by providing a framework to address the potential environmental
impacts of those actions. Pursuant to Executive

Order 13407, the IPAWS Program goal is to identify, develop, and/or
adopt appropriate standards to enable implementation of interoperable
public alert and warning systems, to identify technologies and
standards that improve security, reliability, addressability,
accessibility, interoperability, coverage, and resilience of the public
alert and warning systems, and to integrate these capabilities via a
common IPAWS Aggregator. Certain construction-related actions may be
taken, such as modification of existing transmitter structures to
current code and standards, trenching for utility lines, removal of
existing underground or above ground fuel storage tanks and the
placement of above-ground fuel storage tanks of increased capacity,
placement of generators, placement of pre-cast concrete shelter
modules, and fencing, to meet the IPAWS Program goal.
    The PEA provides the public and decision-makers with the
information required to understand and evaluate the potential
environmental consequences of actions funded by FEMA. In addition to
meeting the goals of impact identification and disclosure, the PEA
addresses the need to streamline the NEPA review process in the
interest of national preparedness and homeland security.
    The analysis presented in the PEA relies on FEMA's experience
regarding environmental impacts that can be expected with actions that
would be undertaken through IPAWS. FEMA will consider the analysis in
the PEA to determine whether a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
or a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement is
appropriate for the proposed actions described and assessed in the PEA.
    The PEA will also assist in determining when more site-specific
information is needed and what level of environmental analysis and
documentation is required in order for more complex projects to comply
with NEPA.

    Authority:  National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 4331 et seq.; 40 CFR part 1500; 44 CFR part 10.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2021-P-1248]

Determination That XYLOCAINE (Lidocaine Hydrochloride) Topical
Solution 4%, Was Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or
Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) has
determined that XYLOCAINE (lidocaine hydrochloride), Topical Solution
4%, was not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
This determination means that FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw
approval of abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) that refer to
this drug product, and it will allow FDA to continue to approve ANDAs
that refer to the product as long as they meet relevant legal and
regulatory requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Faranda, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6258, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-8767, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 505(j) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(j)) allows the submission of
an ANDA to market a generic version of a previously approved drug
product. To obtain approval, the ANDA applicant must show, among other
things, that the generic drug product: (1) has the same active
ingredient(s), dosage form, route of administration, strength,
conditions of use, and (with certain exceptions) labeling as the listed
drug, which is a version of the drug that was previously approved and
(2) is bioequivalent to the listed drug. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    Section 505(j)(7) of the FD&C Act requires FDA to publish a list of
all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ``Approved
Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is
known generally as the ``Orange Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs
are removed from the list if the Agency withdraws or suspends approval
of the drug's NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness or if
FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons
of safety or effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale,
but must be made prior to FDA's approval of an ANDA that refers to the
listed drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an
ANDA that does not refer to a listed drug.
    XYLOCAINE (lidocaine hydrochloride) Topical Solution 4%, is the
subject of NDA 010417, held by Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC, and initially
approved on May 7, 1959. XYLOCAINE is indicated for the production of
topical anesthesia of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract or
the genito-urinary tract.
    In a letter dated January 29, 2018, Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC,
requested that FDA withdraw approval of NDA 010417 for XYLOCAINE
(lidocaine hydrochloride). In the Federal Register of October 29, 2018
(83 FR 54355 at 54356), FDA announced that it was withdrawing approval
of NDA 010417 as of November 28, 2018. This product is identified as
discontinued in the Orange Book.
    Lyne Laboratories, Inc., submitted a citizen petition dated
December 2, 2021 (Docket No. FDA-2021-P-1248), under 21 CFR 10.30,
requesting that the Agency determine whether XYLOCAINE (lidocaine
hydrochloride) Topical Solution 4%, was withdrawn from sale for reasons
of safety or effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined
under Sec.  314.161 that XYLOCAINE (lidocaine hydrochloride) Topical
Solution 4%, was not withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
The petitioner has identified no data or other information suggesting
that this drug product was withdrawn for reasons of safety or
effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our files for records
concerning the withdrawal of XYLOCAINE (lidocaine hydrochloride)
Topical Solution 4 percent, from sale. We have also independently
evaluated relevant literature and data for possible postmarketing
adverse events. We have found no information that would indicate that
this drug product was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or
effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list XYLOCAINE (lidocaine
hydrochloride) Topical Solution 4%, in the ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' delineates, among other items, drug products that have been
discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or
effectiveness. FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw approval of
approved ANDAs that refer to this drug product. Additional ANDAs for
this drug product may also be approved by the Agency as long as they
meet all other legal and regulatory requirements for the approval of
ANDAs. If FDA determines that labeling for this drug product should be
revised to meet current standards, the Agency will advise ANDA
applicants to submit such labeling.

    Dated: July 14, 2022.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

    Title: Smart Growth and Active Aging National Recognition Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2221.01, OMB Control No. 2090-new.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA's Initiative on Aging is planning to launch a Smart
Growth and Active Aging National Recognition Program for communities,
municipalities, tribes, and counties (collectively referred to as
``communities''). Communities would submit a letter to EPA indicating
that their State or local Area Agency on Aging is engaged in their
smart growth planning activities and active aging programs, and
complete an on-line questionnaire describing their processes and
programs in these two areas. The purpose of the Program is to recognize
communities that excel in promoting the health and well-being of older
adults through smart growth and active aging and to raise public
awareness of the interconnectedness and importance of these two areas
to the aging population. In addition, the on-line questionnaire would
include links to helpful information on the Internet. This would assist
in educating communities on available resources to help them do better
in the areas where they have not met the criteria for recognition.
Finally, the Program would enable EPA to compile ``lessons learned''
from communities that have successfully implemented smart growth and
active aging principles. EPA would use this information to create a
learning network on its Web site where all communities could benefit
from this experience.
    The Recognition Program would be voluntary. EPA expects communities
to participate only if they see a benefit by doing so. A primary
benefit to communities would be recognition at the national level as
leaders in smart growth and active aging. National recognition would
promote their image as a desirable place to live. This could help them
attract residents of all ages, which could benefit the communities
(e.g., economically), as well as the new residents (e.g., because they
could partake of their community's amenities, such as walkable
neighborhoods, fitness trails, and more transportation choices). In
addition, communities that participate but are not recognized under the
Program (i.e., because they do not meet the criteria for recognition)
would benefit by learning about their areas for improvement, finding
ways to address these areas based on links to helpful resources on the
Internet, and modifying their behavior as appropriate.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one
hour and 45 minutes per response. Burden means the total time, effort,
or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are communities, municipalities, and counties that choose
to participate in the Recognition Program.
    Estimated Total Annual Number of Respondents on Average: 110.
    Average Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 186 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,284. This includes an estimated
labor cost of $8,183, an estimated operation and maintenance cost of
$101, and no capital cost.

all Airbus Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. This
AD was prompted by a report of blockage of Angle of Attack (AOA) probes
during climb, leading to activation of the Alpha Protection (Alpha
Prot) while the Mach number increased. This activation could cause a
continuous nose-down pitch rate that cannot be stopped with backward
sidestick input, even in the full backward position. For certain
airplanes, this AD requires replacing certain AOA sensors (probes) with

certain new AOA sensors. For certain other airplanes, this AD also
requires inspections and functional heat testing of certain AOA sensors
for discrepancies, and replacement if necessary. We are issuing this AD
to prevent erroneous AOA information and Alpha Prot activation due to
blocked AOA probes, which could result in a continuous nose-down
command and loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 18, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 18, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Model A330-200,
-200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and all Airbus Model A340-
200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 12, 2015 (80 FR 69899) (``the NPRM'').
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0134, dated July 8, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model
A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and all Model
A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was reported where an Airbus A321 aeroplane
encountered a blockage of two Angle of Attack (AOA) probes during
climb, leading to activation of the Alpha Protection (Alpha Prot)
while the Mach number increased. The flight crew managed to regain
full control and the flight landed uneventfully. It was determined
that the affected AOA probes are also fitted on A330 and A340
aeroplanes.
    When Alpha Prot is activated due to blocked AOA probes, the
flight control laws order a continuous nose down pitch rate that, in
a worst case scenario, cannot be stopped with backward sidestick
inputs, even in the full backward position. If the Mach number
increases during a nose down order, the AOA value of the Alpha Prot
will continue to decrease. As a result, the flight control laws will
continue to order a nose down pitch rate, even if the speed is above
minimum selectable speed, known as VLS.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of
control of the aeroplane.
    Investigation results indicated that aeroplanes equipped with
certain UTC Aerospace (UTAS, formerly known as Goodrich) AOA
sensors, or equipped with certain SEXTANT/THOMSON AOA sensors,
appear to have a greater susceptibility to adverse environmental
conditions than aeroplanes equipped with the latest Thales AOA
sensor, Part Number (P/N) C16291AB, which was designed to improve
AOA indication behaviour in heavy rain conditions.
    Having determined that replacement of these AOA sensors is
necessary to achieve and maintain the required safety level of the
aeroplane, EASA issued [an AD ***], to require modification of the
aeroplanes by replacement of the affected P/N sensors, and, after
modification, prohibits (re-) installation of those P/N AOA sensors.
That [EASA] AD also required repetitive detailed visual inspections
(DET) and functional heating tests of certain Thales AOA sensors and
provided an optional terminating action for those inspections.
    Since EASA AD 2015-0089 was issued, based on further analysis
results, Airbus issued Operators Information Transmission (OIT) Ref.
999.0017/15 Revision 1, instructing operators to speed up the
removal from service of UTAS P/N 0861ED2 AOA sensors.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA [AD ***], which is superseded, but reduces the
compliance times for aeroplanes with UTAS P/N 0861ED2 AOA sensors
installed.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
4810.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since we issued the NPRM Airbus has issued the following service
information:
     Service Bulletin A330-34-3215, Revision 03, dated July 23,
2015.
     Service Bulletin A340-34-4215, Revision 03, dated July 27,
2015.
     Service Bulletin A340-34-5062, Revision 02, dated July 24,
2015.

Explanation of Certain Changes to the NPRM

    We have revised paragraph (j) of this AD to refer to this revised
service information.
    We have also added a new paragraph (l) to this AD, and reidentified
subsequent paragraphs, to give credit for doing the actions using the
following service information:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-34-3215, Revision 02, dated
March 29, 2010.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-34-4215, Revision 02, dated
March 29, 2010.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A340-34-5062, Revision 01, dated
March 29, 2010.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response.

Request To Reduce Certain Compliance Times

    Airbus asked that we reduce the compliance time from 22 months to
12 months for P/N 0861ED removal, and from 7 months to 3 months for P/N
0861ED2 removal.
    We do not agree with the request, as no supporting data was
provided by the commenter. We contacted Airbus to determine if there
was a justification for reducing the compliance times specified in the
proposed AD. We noted that reducing the compliance times would
necessitate (under the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act)
reissuing the notice, reopening the period for public comment,
considering additional

comments subsequently received, and eventually issuing a final rule.
Airbus stated it concurs with keeping the compliance times specified in
the proposed AD. We have determined that further delay of this final
rule is not appropriate. However, if additional data are presented that
would justify a shorter compliance time, we may consider further
rulemaking on this issue.
    In developing an appropriate compliance time, we considered the
safety implications, parts availability, and normal maintenance
schedules for timely accomplishment of replacing the AOA sensors, as
well as the compliance times required by the EASA AD. In consideration
of these factors, we have determined that the compliance time, as
proposed, represents an appropriate time in which the AOA sensors can
be replaced in a timely manner within the fleet, while still
maintaining an adequate level of safety. Most ADs, including this one,
permit operators to accomplish the requirements of an AD at a time
earlier than the specified compliance time; therefore, an operator may
choose to replace the AOA sensors earlier. We have not changed this
final rule in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We have received no definitive data that will enable us to provide
a cost estimate for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

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

    We determined that 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 the 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.

Protection (Alpha Prot) while the Mach number increased. This
activation could cause a continuous nose-down pitch rate that cannot
be stopped with backward sidestick input, even in the full backward
position. We are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous AOA
information and Alpha Prot activation due to blocked AOA probes,
which could result in a continuous nose-down command and consequent
loss of control of the airplane.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2012-0953; FRL-9952-77-Region 6]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Texas; Infrastructure Requirements for Consultation With Government
Officials, Public Notification and Prevention of Significant
Deterioration and Visibility Protection for the 2008 Ozone and 2010
Nitrogen Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve portions of State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittals from the
State of Texas pertaining to Clean Air Act (CAA) section 110(a)(2)(J):
Consultation with Government Officials, Public Notification, and
Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Visibility Protection for
the 2008 Ozone (O3) and 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide
(NO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These
submittals address how the existing SIP provides for implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of the 2008 O3 and 2010
NO2 NAAQS (infrastructure SIPs or i-SIPs). These i-SIPs
ensure that the State's SIP is adequate to meet the State's
responsibilities under the CAA. Today's proposal and the accompanying
direct final action will complete the rulemaking process started in our
February 8, 2016, proposal, approve the SIP submittals as meeting CAA
section 110(a)(2)(J), and confirm that the SIP has adequate
infrastructure to implement, maintain and enforce this section of the
CAA with regard to the 2008 O3 and 2010 NO2
NAAQS.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before November 7,
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by EPA-R06-OAR-2012-0953,
at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
For additional information on how to submit comments see 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: Sherry Fuerst,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's i-SIP submittal as a direct rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this
action, no further activity is contemplated. 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 rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

SECURITES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 242

[Release No. 34-79237A]
RIN 3235-AL99

Consolidated Audit Trail

ACTION: Notification regarding expired temporary rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission is providing notice regarding temporary Rule
608T under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Commission
designated 12:01 a.m. on November 16, 2016, as the expiration time for
Rule 608T, because after that time the rule would no longer be
necessary.

DATES: December 23, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebekah Liu, Special Counsel, at (202)
551-5665; Jennifer Colihan, Special Counsel, at<PHONE_NUMBER>; Leigh
Duffy, Special Counsel, at<PHONE_NUMBER>; John Lee, Special Counsel,
at<PHONE_NUMBER>; or Ted Uliassi, Special Counsel, at<PHONE_NUMBER>,
or Division of Trading and Markets, Securities and Exchange Commission,
100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549-7010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On November 3, 2016, the Securities and
Exchange Commission adopted a temporary rule, Rule 608T, under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to extend to November 15, 2016, the
date by which the Commission was required to act on the proposed
National Market System Plan Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail (the
``CAT NMS Plan''). Rule 608T solely governed the timeframe for action
on the proposed CAT NMS Plan. The Commission adopted the temporary rule
as an interim final temporary rule in light of the impending November
10, 2016 date designated by the Commission under Rule 608 as the date
by which the Commission would take action on the proposed CAT NMS Plan.
The Commission designated 12:01 a.m. on November 16, 2016, as the
expiration time for Rule 608T because after that time the temporary
rule would no longer be necessary.
    On November 3, 2016, the Commission published the temporary rule on
its Web site. Due to a subsequent clerical error, the temporary rule
was not published in the Federal Register. On November 8, 2016, the
Commission provided public notice of its scheduled open meeting to
consider the CAT NMS Plan, posting the notice on its Web site, and on
November 15, 2016, the Commission approved the CAT NMS Plan at its open
meeting. The expiration time of 12:01 a.m. on November 16, 2016 for the
temporary rule has now passed.

    Dated: December 19, 2016.

Secretary.
