SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The United States is a party to the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic
Substances (the Convention). Section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA (21 U.S.C.
811(d)(2)(B)) provides that when the United States is notified under
Article 2 of the Convention that CND proposes to decide whether to add
a drug or other substance to one of the schedules of the Convention,
transfer a drug or substance from one schedule to another, or delete it
from the schedules, the Secretary of State must transmit notice of such
information to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary of
HHS). The Secretary of HHS must then publish a summary of such
information in the Federal Register and provide opportunity for
interested persons to submit comments. The Secretary of HHS must then
evaluate the proposal and furnish a recommendation to the Secretary of
State that shall be binding on the representative of the United States
in discussions and negotiations relating to the proposal.
    As detailed in the following paragraphs, the Secretary of State has
received one notification from the Secretary-General of the United
Nations (the Secretary-General) regarding substances to be considered
for control under the Convention. This notification reflects the
recommendation from the 35th WHO Expert Committee for Drug Dependence
(ECDD), which met in June 2012. In the Federal Register of September
05, 2008 (73 FR 51823), FDA announced the WHO ECDD review and invited
interested persons to submit information for WHO's consideration.
    The full text of the notification from the Secretary-General is
provided in section II of this document. Section 201(d)(2)(B) of the
CSA requires the Secretary of HHS, after receiving a notification
proposing scheduling, to publish a notice in the Federal Register to
provide the opportunity for interested persons to submit information
and comments on the proposed scheduling action.

II. United Nations Notification

    The formal United Nations notification that identifies the drug
substance and explains the basis for the recommendations is reproduced
as follows:

Reference: NAR/CL.6/2012
WHO/ECDD35 1971C-Art.2
CU 2012/196/DTA/SGB

    The Secretary-General of the United Nations presents his
compliments to the Secretary of State of the United States of America
and has the honour to inform the Government that the Director-

General of the WHO, under article 2, paragraphs 1, 4, and 6, of the
Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 (1971 Convention), has
notified the Secretary-General that it is of the opinion that Gamma-
hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) should be transferred from Schedule IV to
Schedule II of the 1971 Convention.
    In accordance with the provisions of article 2, paragraph 2, of the
1971 Convention, the Secretary-General hereby transmits the relevant
excerpts of the notification as Annex I to the present note. Also in
accordance with the same provisions, the notification from WHO will be
brought to the attention of the CND at its next session in March 2013.
    In connection with the notification, WHO has also submitted
excerpts from the report of the Thirty-fifth session of the WHO ECDD
(4-8 June 2012) which reviewed the substance. The excerpts from that
report concerning GHB are hereby transmitted as Annex II. The excerpts
are currently available in English only, pending receipt of the
official French translation from the WHO. The report of the Thirty-
fifth session of the WHO ECDD can be retrieved from the following Web
site: http://www.who.int/medicines/areas/quality_safety/35thecddmeet/en/index.html. (FDA has verified the Web site address, but FDA is not
responsible for any subsequent changes to the Web site after this
document publishes in the Federal Register).
    Any action or decision taken by the Commission with respect to this
notification, pursuant to article 2, paragraphs 5 and 6, of the 1971
Convention, will be communicated to States Parties in due course.
Article 2, paragraphs 5 and 6, reads as follows:

    5. The Commission, taking into account the communication from
the WHO, whose assessments shall be determinative as to medical and
scientific matters, and bearing in mind the economic, social, legal,
administrative and other factors it may consider relevant, may add
the substance to Schedule I, II, III or IV. The Commission may seek
further information from the WHO or from other appropriate sources.
    6. If a notification under paragraph 1 relates to a substance
already listed in one of the Schedules, the WHO shall communicate to
the Commission its new findings, any new assessment of the substance
it may make in accordance with paragraph 4 and any new
recommendations on control measures it may find appropriate in the
light of that assessment. The Commission, taking into account the
communication from the WHO as under paragraph 5 and bearing in mind
the factors referred to in that paragraph, may decide to transfer
the substance from one Schedule to another or to delete it from the
Schedules.

    To assist the Commission in reaching a decision, it would be
appreciated if the Government could communicate any economic, social,
legal, administrative, or other factors that it considers relevant to
the possible rescheduling under the 1971 Convention, of GHB, at the
latest by 28 December 2012 to the Executive Director of the United
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, c/o Secretary, Commission on
Narcotic Drugs, P.O. Box 500, 1400 Vienna, Austria, FAX: +43-1-26060-
5885, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
9 November 2012, NAR/CL.6/201, Annex I, Page 1.

Annex I

Relevant excerpts of letter addressed to the Secretary-General of the
United Nations by the Director-General of the World Health Organization
    ``With reference to article 2 of the Convention on Psychotropic
Substances (1971), article 2, paragraphs 1, 4 and 6, I am pleased to
submit the recommendations of the WHO, concerning the international
control of y-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). The recommendation is that GHB
be rescheduled from Schedule IV to Schedule II of the 1971 Convention.
The basis for this recommendation is set out in an extract from the
Report of the ECDD, which advises on these issues, attached to this
letter.''

Geneva, 22 October 2012, NAR/CL.6/2012, Annex II, Page 1.

Annex II

Extract From the 35th Report of the Expert Committee on Drug Dependence
Recommendation on Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB)
    This section provides information in addition to the information
presented in the report of the Thirty-fourth meeting. The Expert
Committee discussed GHB in the context of Gamma-butyrolactone and 1,4-
butanediol (1,4-BD), precursors of GHB, see sections 4.4 and 4.5.
Substance Identification and Pharmacodynamics
    Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), also known as 4-hydroxybutanoic
acid and sodium oxybate, is a naturally occurring substance found in
low concentrations in mammalian tissues. It is considered to act by
binding to GHB-specific receptors and Gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABAB)
receptors. At pharmacological doses, it acts as a central nervous
system depressant.
Previous Reviews
    GHB was pre-reviewed during the Thirty-first and Thirty-second
meetings, held in 1998 and 2000, respectively. In 2001, GHB was placed
in Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention by a decision of the CND. It was
again pre-reviewed at the Thirty-fourth ECDD meeting in 2006 (1), at
which time the Expert Committee recommended a new critical review to
consider GHB's possible rescheduling.
Evidence on Dependence Potential
    The Expert Committee examined additional information from the
updated critical review report and peer-review reports. The Expert
Committee noted that there is compelling evidence that dependence on
GHB exists in humans and noted withdrawal syndromes and withdrawal
seizures.
Actual Abuse
    The Expert Committee noted that at present, GHB appears to be
mainly used and abused in the United States of America, Europe and
Australia. Most GHB used illicitly originates from clandestine
manufacture.
    In their discussions, the Expert Committee and advisers agreed on
the narrow margin of safety of GHB. There have been numerous reports
from Europe and the United States of accidental fatal and non-fatal
overdoses where GHB was implicated, both when used alone and with other
substances.
    The Expert Committee also noted there have been reports of GHB
being used to facilitate sexual assault.
Therapeutic Usefulness
    GHB is used as a medicine in some countries on a small scale for
various indications. GHB is not included in the WHO Model List of
Essential Medicines.
Need for the Substance for Other Purposes (e.g., Industrial)
    The Expert Committee acknowledged the use of GHB in the production
of a wide variety of industrial polymers.

III. Discussion

    Although WHO has made specific scheduling recommendations for each
of the drug substances, the CND is not obliged to follow the WHO
recommendations. Options available to the CND for substances considered
for control under the Psychotropic Convention include: (1) Acceptance
of the WHO recommendations; (2) acceptance of the recommendations to
control, but control the drug substance in a schedule other than that
recommended; or (3) reject the recommendations entirely.

    GHB is classified as a central nervous system depressant. In 2002,
FDA approved a GHB-containing product, Xyrem, for the treatment of
excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy
under the regulations in 21 CFR part 314, subpart H (21 CFR 314.520).
Xyrem was included on the list of products deemed to have in effect an
approved Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) under section
505-1 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355-1) at
the time of the passage of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments
Act of 2007 (FDAAA). The REMS for Xyrem includes a medication guide and
healthcare provider education brochure, mandatory patient and
prescriber certification through enrollment, and restricted dispensing
of the drug through a central pharmacy. Xyrem is controlled
domestically in Schedule III of the CSA, while bulk GHB and all other
material containing GHB are controlled in Schedule I. In addition,
illicit use of Xyrem is subject to Schedule I penalties of the CSA. GHB
is controlled internationally in Schedule IV of the Psychotropic
Convention. The WHO ECDD pre-reviewed GHB at its Thirty-fourth meeting
and recommended it for critical review at a future meeting. The WHO
ECDD met in Hammamet, Tunisia, from 4-8 June 2012, critically reviewed
GHB, and recommended that it be rescheduled from Schedule IV to
Schedule II of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

IV. Submission of Comments and Opportunity for Public Meeting

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments
may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
    FDA does not presently plan to hold a public meeting. If any person
believes that, in addition to their written comments, a public meeting
would contribute to the development of the U.S. position on the
substances to be considered for control under the Psychotropic
Convention, a request for a public meeting and the reasons for such a
request should be sent to James R. Hunter (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT) on or before February 19, 2013.
    The short time period for the submission of comments and requests
for a public meeting is needed to ensure that HHS may, in a timely
fashion, carry out the required action and be responsive to the United
Nations.

    Dated: February 1, 2013.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30917; Amdt. No. 3552]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective September 5, 2013. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of September 5, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,

    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability_All SIAPs are available online free of charge. Visit
nfdc.faa.gov to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP copies may be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Programs
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549-2736.

Extension:
    Rule 11a1-1(T), SEC File No. 270-428, OMB Control No. 3235-0478.

    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 (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information provided for in Rule 11a1-1(T) (17 CFR 240.11a1-1(T)),
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    On January 27, 1976, the Commission adopted Rule 11a1-1(T)--
Transactions Yielding Priority, Parity, and Precedence (17 CFR
240.11a1-1(T)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.) (``Exchange Act'') to exempt certain transactions of exchange
members for their own accounts that would otherwise be prohibited under
Section 11(a) of the Exchange Act. The rule provides that a member's
proprietary order may be executed on the exchange of which the trader
is a member, if, among other things: (1) The member discloses that a
bid or offer for its account is for its account to any member with whom
such bid or offer is placed or to whom it is communicated; (2) any such
member through whom that bid or offer

is communicated discloses to others participating in effecting the
order that it is for the account of a member; and (3) immediately
before executing the order, a member (other than a specialist in such
security) presenting any order for the account of a member on the
exchange clearly announces or otherwise indicates to the specialist and
to other members then present that he is presenting an order for the
account of a member.
    Without these requirements, it would not be possible for the
Commission to monitor its mandate under the Exchange Act to promote
fair and orderly markets and ensure that exchange members have, as the
principle purpose of their exchange memberships, the conduct of a
public securities business.
    There are approximately 592 respondents that require an aggregate
total of 17 hours to comply with this rule. Each of these approximately
592 respondents makes an estimated 20 annual responses, for an
aggregate of 11,840 responses per year. Each response takes
approximately 5 seconds to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden
per year is 17 hours (11,840 x 5 seconds/60 seconds per minute/60
minutes per hour = 17 hours). The approximate internal cost of
compliance per hour is $336, resulting in a total internal cost of
compliance of $5,712 (17 hours @ $336).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Pamela Dyson, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email
to: [email protected].

    Dated: April 23, 2018.

Assistant Secretary.
