SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), EPA has
established procedures whereby States submit plans to control certain
existing sources of ``designated pollutants.'' Designated pollutants
are defined as pollutants for which a standard of performance for new
sources applies under section 111 but, which are not ``criteria
pollutants'' (i.e., pollutants for which National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) are set pursuant to sections 108 and 109 of the Act)
or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) regulated under section 112 of the
Act. As required by section 111(d) of the Act, EPA established a
process at 40 CFR part 60, subpart B, which States must follow in
adopting and submitting a section 111(d) plan. Whenever EPA promulgates
new source performance standards (NSPS) that control a designated
pollutant, EPA establishes emission guidelines (EG) in accordance with
40 CFR 60.22 which contain information pertinent to the control of the
designated pollutant from that NSPS source category (i.e., the
``designated facility'' as defined at 40 CFR 60.21(b)). Thus, a State's
section 111(d) plan for a designated facility must comply with the EG
for that source category as well as 40 CFR part 60, subpart B (40 CFR
60.23 through 60.26). On March 12, 1996, EPA promulgated the NSPS for
new municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
WWW (Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills) and
EG for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc.
    The procedures under which States submit these plans to control
existing sources are defined in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. According to
subpart B, the States are required to develop plans within Federal
guidelines for the control of designated pollutants. The EPA publishes
guideline documents for development of State emission

standards along with the promulgation of any NSPS for a designated
pollutant. These guidelines apply to designated pollutants and include
information such as a discussion of the pollutant's effects,
description of control techniques and their effectiveness, costs and
potential impacts. Also as guidance for the States, recommended
emission limits and times for compliance are set forth, and control
equipment which will achieve these emission limits are identified. The
emission guidelines for landfill gas are promulgated in 40 CFR part 60.
The final section 111(d) emission standards and guidelines for landfill
gas were promulgated on March 12, 1996 (61 FR 9905), and codified in
the CFR at 40 CFR subparts WWW and Cc, respectively. The emission
guideline's specified limits for landfill gas requires affected
facilities to operate a control system designed to reduce collected
non-methane organic compounds (NMOC) concentrations by 98 weight-
percent, or reduce the outlet NMOC concentration to 20 parts per
million or less, using the test methods specified under Sec.
60.754(d).
    The City of Albuquerque (Bernalillo County), New Mexico submitted
its Plan to EPA on May 26, 2006. This Federal Register action approves
Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Landfills in Albuquerque (Bernalillo County), New Mexico.

II. Analysis of Submittal

    The official procedures for adoption and submittal of State Plans
are codified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. The EPA promulgated the
original provisions on November 17, 1975 and then amended them on
December 19, 1995, to incorporate changes specific to solid waste
incineration. These changes, which were necessary to conform to the
solid waste incineration requirements under section 129 of the Act, are
not relevant to MSW landfills. Thus, the procedures described in the
original provisions for adopting and submitting State Plans still apply
to MSW landfills and are reflected in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B,
Sec. Sec.  60.23 through 60.26. Subpart B addresses public
participation, legal authority, emission standards and other emission
limitations, compliance schedules, emission inventories, source
surveillance, compliance assurance, and enforcement requirements, and
cross-references to the MSW landfill EG.
    The City of Albuquerque (Bernalillo County), New Mexico Plan
includes documentation that all applicable subpart B requirements have
been met.
    The City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department (AEHD)
incorporates the NSPS and cross-references the NSPS for existing
facilities to adopt the requirements of the Federal rule. The AEHD has
ensured, through this cross-reference process, that all the applicable
requirements of the Federal rule have been adopted into the AEHD Plan.
The emission limits, reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and
other aspects of the Federal rule have been adopted into 20 NMAC 11.71,
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and 20 NMAC 11.63, New Source
Performance Standards for Stationary Sources. The City of Albuquerque
(Bernalillo County), New Mexico, amended the NSPS to remove the current
exclusions from delegation of 40 CFR 60 subpart WWW, Standards of
Performance Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.
    Subpart Cc requires affected existing landfills to be capable of
attaining the specified level of emissions within 30 months after the
State Plan is federally approved. For compliance schedules for MSW
landfills extending more than 12 months beyond the date required for
submittal of the plan (December 12, 1996), the compliance schedule must
include legally enforceable increments of progress towards compliance
for that MSW landfill. Each increment of progress in Sec.  60.21(h) of
subpart B must have a compliance date and must be included as an
enforceable date in the AEHD Plan. As an alternative, the AEHD must
negotiate specific dates for the increments of progress on a facility-
by-facility basis, and submit them to the public participation process.
A revision to the City of Albuquerque (Bernalillo County), New Mexico
Plan must be submitted to EPA once the dates for the increments of
progress are established for each affected facility. The AEHD Plan may
include such additional increments of progress as may be necessary to
permit close and effective supervision of progress towards final
compliance. The AEHD did not submit evidence of authority to regulate
sources in Indian Country. Therefore, EPA is not approving this AEHD
Plan as it relates to those sources. AEHD must submit an updated source
inventory once the affected facilities have reported their design
capacities and NMOC emissions as required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart
Cc (Sec.  60.35c). In addition, Title V permit applications for the
affected facilities are due within one year from the due date of the
design capacity reports.

III. Final Action

    In this final action EPA is promulgating a revision to the AEHD
Plan and the Code of Federal Regulations, part 62, to adopt the AEHD
Plan for the control of landfill gas from MSW landfills, except those
located in Indian Country. On May 24, 2006, the City of Albuquerque
(Bernalillo County), New Mexico submitted to EPA a plan identifying the
existing MSW landfills in Bernalillo County and establishing standards
for the control of landfill gas emissions from these facilities. The
AEHD Plan includes regulations 20 NMAC 11.71, Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills, and regulations 20 NMAC 11.63, Standards of Performance
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, documentation of the public
participation process, a source inventory, and other required elements.
    Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or
allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for
revision to any AEHD Plan. Each request for revision to the AEHD Plan
shall be considered separately in light of specific technical,
economic, and environmental factors and in relation to relevant
statutory and regulatory requirements.
    Since the City of Albuquerque has not submitted a demonstration of
authority over ``Indian Country'' (as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151), we
are limiting our approval to those areas that do not constitute Indian
Country. Under this definition, EPA treats as reservations, trust lands
validly set aside for the use of a Tribe even if the trust lands have
not been formally designated as a reservation. Any existing designated
facility that may exist on ``Indian Country'' is subject to the Federal
plan for the designated facility. See 40 CFR 62.13.
    The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no
adverse comments. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve these rules should relevant
adverse comments be filed. This action will be effective January 23,
2007 unless EPA receives adverse written comments by December 26, 2006.
    If EPA receives such comments, then it will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this
direct final rule will not take effect. All public comments received
will then be addressed in a subsequent direct final rule based on the

proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period.
Parties interested in commenting should do so at this time. If no such
comments are received, the public is advised that this rule will be
effective on January 23, 2007 and no further action will be taken on
the proposed rule.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),
this action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to EO 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action merely
approves state and local declarations that rules implementing certain
federal standards are unnecessary. Accordingly, the Administrator
certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule approves state and local
declarations that rules implementing certain federal standards are
unnecessary, it 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).
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by EO 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have substantial direct effects 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, as specified in EO 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This action merely approves state and local
declarations that rules implementing certain federal standards are
unnecessary, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of
power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule
also is not subject to EO 13045 ``Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997), because it is not economically significant.
    In reviewing State plan submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a State plan submission for failure to use VCS. It would
thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a
State plan submission, to use VCS in place of a State plan submission
that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the
requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule
does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 23, 2007. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this direct final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review
nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review
may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (See 42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(2)).

Nasdaq-listed securities or at the official closing price of the
primary market for securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange,
the American Stock Exchange or a regional exchange, shall be trade
reported without identifying the contra party, and disseminated via the
consolidated tape.
    (4) RPC orders will be allocated on a pro-rata basis, such that
shares will be allocated pro-rata in round lots to eligible orders
based on the original size of the order. If additional shares remain
after the initial pro-rata allocation, those shares will continue to be
allocated pro-rata to eligible orders until a number of round lots
remain that is less than the number of eligible orders. Any remaining
shares will be allocated to the oldest eligible order. If the
allocation to an eligible order would be less than the minimum
acceptable execution quantity for that order, the order shall not be
eligible for execution in that cross.
    (5) If the reference price described in subparagraph (3) above is
outside the benchmarks established by Nasdaq by a threshold amount at
the time an after hours cross is scheduled to occur, the Nasdaq
Reference Price Cross shall not occur for that security. Nasdaq
management shall set and modify such benchmarks and thresholds from
time to time upon prior notice to market participants.
    (6) If the national best bid and offer is crossed at the time of a
Reference Price Cross during the regular hours session, the cross shall
be delayed for up to five minutes beyond the time the Reference Price
Cross was scheduled to occur and shall execute at the midpoint of the
national best bid and offer when the quote becomes uncrossed. In the
event the quote remains crossed beyond five minutes after the time of
the scheduled Reference Price Cross, the cross will not occur and
unexecuted NXT orders shall be returned to market participants.
    (7) If the national best bid and offer is locked at the time of a
Reference Price Cross during the regular hours session, the cross shall
execute at the lock price.
    (8) If trading in a security is halted for regulatory or other
reasons at the time a cross is scheduled to occur, the cross will not
occur and all unexecuted NXT orders shall be returned to market
participants.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, Nasdaq 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. Nasdaq 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
    Nasdaq proposes to extend the success of Nasdaq's Opening and
Closing Cross matching functionality,\6\ which has been widely accepted
in the industry, with the introduction of the Nasdaq Crossing Network.
The Nasdaq Crossing Network would provide a new execution option to
market participants trading in Nasdaq-listed securities and securities
listed on the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''), the American Stock
Exchange (``Amex'') or a regional exchange. During the regular hours
session, a series of Nasdaq Reference Price Crosses would allow market
participants to place orders to be executed at the midpoint of the
National Best Bid and Offer (``NBBO''). An additional cross would take
place after the close of the trading day and eligible orders would be
executed at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (``NOCP'') for Nasdaq-
listed securities or the official closing price of the primary market
for securities listed on the NYSE, Amex or a regional exchange
(``Primary Market Close''). Initially, the Nasdaq Reference Price
Crosses would commence at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
(Eastern Time or ``ET''). Orders would be designated for one or more
Nasdaq Reference Price Crosses with a time-in-force indicator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 50405 (September
16, 2004), 69 FR 57118 (September 23, 2004) (SR-NASD-2004-071) and
49406 (March 11, 2004), 69 FR 12879 (March 18, 2004) (SR-NASD-2003-
173), respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the Opening and Closing Crosses act as price discovery
facilities, the purpose of the Nasdaq Crossing Network would be to
provide market participants and investors with an accurate single
trading price at specific times during the trading day, resulting in an
enhanced ability to execute block trades quickly and anonymously, while
minimizing market impact and associated price movements.\7\ The
Reference Price Crosses are designed to occur at an externally derived
price and in accordance with a predetermined algorithm. Participation
in the Reference Price Crosses would be voluntary and would not result
in any advantage to market participants over those market participants
that do not choose to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In connection with Nasdaq's application for registration as
a national securities exchange, Nasdaq submitted a letter to
Commission Staff (``Rule 11a2-2(T) Letter'') requesting interpretive
guidance with respect to the application of Exchange Act Rule 11a2-
2(T) (known as the ``effect and execute'' rule) to transactions
effected through the Nasdaq Market Center, Brut or Inet
(collectively ``Nasdaq Execution Systems''). See Letter to Nancy M.
Morris, Secretary, Commission, and Elizabeth King, Associate
Director, Division of Market Regulation, Commission, from Edward S.
Knight, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Nasdaq, dated
January 12, 2006. The ``effect and execute'' rule provides exchange
members with an exemption from the Section 11(a) prohibition against
a member of a national securities exchange effecting transactions on
that exchange for its own account, the account of an associated
person, or an account over which it or its associated person
exercises discretion unless an exception applies. In reliance on
Nasdaq's representations in its letter, the Commission concluded in
its order approving Nasdaq's exchange registration application that
Nasdaq Exchange members that enter orders into Nasdaq Execution
Systems satisfy the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 11a2-2(T). See
Exchange Act Release No. 53128 (January 13, 2006), 71 FR 3550
(January 23, 2006) (File No. 10-131). Nasdaq represents that the
proposed rule change will not change the continued accuracy of the
representations made by Nasdaq in the Rule 11a2-2(T) Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Orders. Market participants would be able to enter orders in the
Nasdaq Market Center for participation in the Reference Price Crosses
without restriction from the session open at 7:30 a.m. until the post-
close cross is initiated. Orders would be able to be submitted as
existing market or limit order types and would be designated by the
firm upon entry with a time-in-force indicator as follows: (i)
participate in the next scheduled regular hours cross with unexecuted
shares being immediately canceled back to the user after that cross
(NXT), (ii) participate in all of the regular hours crosses (i.e., 11
a.m., 1 p.m. or 3 p.m. ET) with unexecuted shares being immediately
canceled back to the user following the last regular hours cross (REG)
or (iii) participate in all crosses for the current day (i.e., 11 a.m.,
1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET) with unexecuted shares immediately
canceled back to the user following the after hours cross (AHX).\8\

Orders that are designated for one or more Reference Price Crosses
would not be displayed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Until such time as an exemption or other relief is granted,
short sale orders that participate in the Nasdaq Reference Price
Crosses must comply with applicable short sale rules. Nasdaq intends
to propose a rule change to the NASD's short sale rule, NASD Rule
3350, and to submit to the Commission a request for exemptive relief
from the Short Sale Rule to permit short sales of certain securities
at the midpoint of the NBBO effected during the Reference Price
Crosses. In addition, Nasdaq plans to submit to the Commission a
request for exemptive relief from the Quote Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Orders would be required to be entered in round lots with a minimum
of one round lot and may designate a minimum acceptable quantity
(``MAQ'') for execution. No mixed or odd lot execution amount would be
permitted. Orders may not be canceled or replaced during the time of
the cross, but may at any other time, including periods when trading in
the applicable security is halted. Like Nasdaq Opening and Closing
Cross orders, Reference Price Cross orders would be required to be
available for automatic execution. The Reference Price Cross would have
no order delivery capability and no special orders would be
accommodated. Both automatic execution and order delivery participants,
however, would be able to enter eligible orders into the Nasdaq Market
Center to participate in the Reference Price Cross, so long as the
orders are available for automatic execution.
    Automatic execution. Like closing and opening cross orders,
crossing network orders would be required to be available for automatic
execution. The cross would have no order delivery capability and no
special orders could be accommodated. The only eligible order types
would be limit orders or market orders. Although there would be no
order delivery capability, both automatic execution and order delivery
participants would be able to enter eligible orders into the Nasdaq
Market Center so long as the orders are available for auto execution.
    Nasdaq Reference Price Crosses. The Nasdaq Reference Price Crosses
initially would commence at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET.
In order to minimize the opportunity for manipulation, Nasdaq would
execute the cross through an automated and random matching mechanism at
a randomly selected time during the predetermined one minute cross
trading window. All eligible orders for the trading day crosses would
be executed in accordance with a predetermined algorithm at the NBBO
midpoint on a pro-rata basis and at the NOCP or Primary Market Close,
as applicable, for post-close cross executions.
    Upon initiation of the cross, available shares would be treated as
if they were the same price and would be allocated on a pro rata basis
to eligible orders. In order to prevent orders that participate in more
than one cross from being disadvantaged with regard to their execution
priority based on diminishing size, shares would be allocated based on
the original size of the order, not on the value of the remaining
unexecuted shares. If additional shares remain after the initial pro-
rata allocation, those shares would continue to be allocated pro-rata
to eligible orders until a number of round lots remain that is less
than the number of eligible orders. Any remaining shares would be
allocated to the oldest eligible order. In addition, in the case of an
order that has designated a MAQ, if the pro rata allocation would be
less than the MAQ, the order would not be eligible for execution in
that cross.
    For example, assume the following orders are received in the
following sequence:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Orders                           Liquidity pool
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Sell<EMAIL_ADDRESS> Buy<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
2. Sell<EMAIL_ADDRESS> Sell<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
3. Buy<EMAIL_ADDRESS> .................................
4. Sell<EMAIL_ADDRESS> .................................
5. Sell 10,000@MKT (where 2,000        .................................
 unexecuted shares remain from a
 prior cross where 8,000 shares of
 the order were executed).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on these orders and the available liquidity pool, the cross
would operate as if there are 10,000 shares to buy and 32,000 shares to
sell with the algorithm allocating 2,500 shares to each sell order.
Although order 5 consists of only 2,000 unexecuted shares, it
receives an allocation (2,500 shares) based on the original size of the
order (10,000 shares). Since order 5 can only execute 2,000
shares, the remaining 500 shares are allocated to the other orders pro
rata. After each order is allocated an additional 100 shares, the
remaining 200 shares are allocated to the oldest eligible order. The
executions resulting from this cross would be as follows:

Order 1................................  2,800 shares.
Order 2................................  2,600 shares.
Order 3................................  10,000 shares.
Order 4................................  2,600 shares.
Order 5................................  2,000 shares.

    The executions would be reported to the market participants via
Nasdaq Market Center execution reports as a single trade reflecting the
aggregate shares executed. In order to reduce information leakage that
could lead to adverse price movements, executions would be reported as
anonymous trades, without identifying a contra party. Each execution
would be reported to the Nasdaq Market Center trade reporting service
for trade reporting, clearance and settlement.\9\ Trades from the
regular hours cross would be disseminated the regular way, and trades
from the post close cross would be disseminated with a .PRP sale
condition modifier. In the event that a Reference Price Cross order
that executes at the midpoint of the NBBO results in a Nasdaq member
trading ahead of a held customer order by less than $0.01 (i.e.,
$0.005), Nasdaq believes that a Manning obligation would be triggered
under NASD IM-2110-2, Rule on Trading Ahead of Customer Limit Order
(known as the ``Manning Rule''). Under this rule, a firm cannot trade
ahead of a held customer limit order without executing the customer
order unless it trades at a price that is at least $0.01 better than
the customer limit order price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Nasdaq will submit each underlying trade to the National
Securities Clearing Corporation for clearing. When Nasdaq is
operational as a national securities exchange, these trades will be
reported as ``covered sales'' of the exchange for the purposes of
Section 31 of the Act. If the Reference Price Crossing Network is
launched before Nasdaq is operational as an exchange, these trades
will be reported by the NASD for the purposes of Section 31 of the
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If based on usage and demand, Nasdaq desires to add more frequent
crosses or to modify the time of the crosses in the future, it would
submit a rule change to the Commission. Nasdaq would publish the
information about any changes via its public NasdaqTrader Web site.
    Reference Price Cross Circuit Breaker. As it did with the Nasdaq
Opening Cross and Nasdaq Closing Cross, Nasdaq would establish a
circuit breaker for Nasdaq Reference Price Crosses that occur during
the after hours session. The circuit breaker would protect against
unusual occurrences when the market has moved significantly from the
NOCP or the Primary Market Close based on information that becomes
available after the market close. In this situation, Nasdaq may decide
to cancel the cross rather than execute the cross at a price that no
longer reflects the sentiment of the marketplace.
    If the post-close cross would not execute within a preset boundary
(``Threshold Percentage'') of the consolidated last sale price of the
security, the cross would not take place. Initially, the Threshold
Percentage would be set at ten percent, with a $0.50 minimum spread.
Thus, if the difference

between the NOCP or Primary Market Close, as applicable, and the
consolidated last sale price of the security would be ten percent or
more, but not less than the minimum value of $0.50, then the cross
would be canceled.
    As in the case of the Nasdaq Opening and Closing Crosses, Nasdaq
believes that market conditions and experience with the Nasdaq
Reference Price Crosses may require Nasdaq to adjust the Threshold
Percentage at a future point in time. Any changes to the Threshold
Percentage would be made in advance and communicated to members. Nasdaq
would publish any changes to the Threshold Percentage via its public
NasdaqTrader Web site.
    In addition, if trading in a security is halted at the time a cross
is scheduled to occur, the cross would be canceled and orders that are
not designated for any future crosses would be returned to the market
participants.
    Locked or Crossed Markets. In the event of a crossed NBBO at the
time of a Reference Price Cross during the regular hours session, the
cross would be delayed and would execute based on the midpoint NBBO
when the quote becomes uncrossed. If the quote remains crossed,
however, for five minutes beyond when the cross normally would have
occurred, the cross would be canceled and orders that are not
designated for any future crosses would be returned to the market
participants. In the event of a locked NBBO at the time of a Reference
Price Cross during the regular hours session, the cross would execute
at the lock price.
2. Statutory Basis
    Nasdaq believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with the provisions of Section 15A of the Act,\10\ in
general, and with Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\11\ in particular,
which requires the NASD's rules to be designed, among other things, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities. Nasdaq believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with these requirements in that the
changes are designed to expand the types of crossing products available
to members and to provide additional tools for facilitating
transactions.

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Nasdaq 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.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the NASD consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, as amended, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Quality Attribute Considerations for Chewable Tablets.''
Chewable tablets are an immediate release oral dosage form intended to
be chewed and then swallowed by the patient, rather than swallowed
whole. They should be designed to have a pleasant taste and be easily
chewed and swallowed. Chewable tablets should be safe and easy to use
in a diverse patient population, pediatric, adults, or elderly
patients, who are unable or unwilling to swallow intact tablets due to
the size of the tablet or difficulty with swallowing. In addition,
certain tablets must be chewed before swallowing to avoid choking and
to ensure the release of the active ingredient. The availability of
safe, easy-to-use dosage forms is important in clinical practice, and
chewable tablet formulations are available as both over-the-counter and
prescription drug products.
    A review of numerous applications for chewable tablet drug products
revealed that in certain cases, critical quality attributes such as
hardness, disintegration, and dissolution were not given as much
consideration as may have been warranted. This draft guidance describes
the critical quality attributes that should be assessed when developing
a chewable tablet dosage form. No single quality characteristic should
be considered sufficient to control the performance of a chewable
tablet. Instead, the goal should be to develop the proper combination
of these attributes to ensure the performance of the chewable tablet
for its intended use.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on Quality
Attribute Considerations for Chewable Tablets. It does not establish
any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You
can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in 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
collection of information in investigational new drug applications is
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014; the collection of
information (including prescription drug labeling) in new drug
applications and abbreviated new drug applications, as well as
supplements to these applications, is approved under OMB control number
0910-0001; the collection of biologics license applications is approved
under OMB control number 0910-0338; and the format and content of
prescription drug labeling is approved under OMB control number 0910-
0572.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the draft guidance
at either http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or http://www.regulations.gov.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0184; Airspace Docket No. 11-ANM-4]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Nephi, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Nephi UT, to
accommodate aircraft using new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at
Nephi Municipal Airport. This improves the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, October 20, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 17, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice
of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace at Nephi, UT (76
FR 28382). 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 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface, at Nephi Municipal Airport, Nephi, UT, to
accommodate IFR aircraft executing new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport. This action is necessary for the
safety and management of IFR operations.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (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
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified 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. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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
controlled airspace at Nephi Municipal Airport, Nephi, UT.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:
