SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-389, OMB Control No. 3235-0444]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 10b-
10

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

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of
the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule
10b-10 (17 CFR 240.10b-10) under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 10b-10 requires broker-dealers to convey specified information
to customers regarding their securities transactions. This information
includes the date and time of the transaction, the identity and number
of shares bought or sold, and whether the broker-dealer acts as agent
for the customer or as principal for its own account. Depending on
whether the broker-dealer acts as agent or principal, Rule 10b-10
requires the disclosure of commissions, as well as mark-up and mark-
down information. For transactions in debt securities, Rule 10b-10
requires the disclosure of redemption and yield information. Rule 10b-
10 potentially applies to all of the approximately 3,531 firms
registered with the Commission that effect transactions for or with
customers.
    Based on information provided by registered broker-dealers to the
Commission in FOCUS Reports, the Commission staff estimates that on
average, registered broker-dealers process approximately 27,151,388,510
order tickets per year for transactions for or with customers. Each
order ticket representing a transaction effected for or with a customer
generally results in one confirmation. Therefore, the Commission staff
estimates that approximately 27,151,388,510 confirmations are sent to
customers annually. The confirmations required by Rule 10b-10 are
generally processed through automated systems. It takes approximately
30 seconds to generate and send a confirmation. Accordingly, the
Commission staff estimates that broker-dealers spend approximately
226,261,571 hours per year complying with Rule 10b-10 (27,151,388,510 x
.5 / 60).
    The number of confirmations sent and the cost of sending each
confirmation varies from firm to firm. Smaller firms generally send
fewer confirmations than larger firms because they effect fewer
transactions. The Commission staff estimates the cost of producing and
sending a paper confirmation, including postage, to be approximately 67
cents. The Commission staff also estimates that the cost of producing
and sending a wholly electronic confirmation is approximately 40 cents.
Based on informal discussions with industry participants, as well as
representations made in requests for exemptive and no-action letters
relating to Rule 10b-10, the staff estimates that broker-dealers used
electronic confirmations for approximately 35 percent of transactions.
Based on these calculations, Commission staff estimates that
17,648,402,532 paper confirmations are mailed each year at a cost of
$11,824,429,696. Commission staff also estimates that 9,502,985,979
wholly electronic confirmations are sent each year at a cost of
$3,801,194,392. Accordingly, Commission staff estimates that the total
annual cost associated with generating and delivering to investors the
information required under Rule 10b-10 is approximately
$15,625,624,088.
    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.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent by February 23, 2023 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F

CITATION: Cass, L. ( 1992). T 344, Amitraz: Report of a double blind tolerance study of amitraz in six adult healthy volunteers. Simbec Research Ltd., Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan CF48 4DR, South Wales, United Kingdom. Laboratory Project RD 197/ 20170. June 8, 1992. MRID 43283101. Unpublished.

SPONSOR: NOR AM Chemical Co., Little Falls Centre One, 2711 Centerville Road, Wilmington, DE 19808 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a double blind sequential dosing oral human tolerance study of Amitraz, ( Lot No. not reported, purity 98.2%), 7 adult male volunteers were given encapsulated 0, 0.0625, or 0.125 mg/ kg in lactose over three 14 day periods. One volunteer was withdrawn from the study following development of a rash unrelated to treatment. The study subjects were 28.17 " 3.54 years in age and weighed 67.15 " 3.15 kg. The study was approved by the Simbec Independent Ethics Committee and done according to the Helsinki and Hong Kong revisions Human Tolerance  Oral ( 1992) Page 3 of 6 AMITRAZ/ 106201 Nonguideline ( l989). Each dose was administered 30 minutes after breakfast with 150 ml water. Vital signs including: pulse, respiration rate, blood, pressure and temperature were taken at B1,  0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours after dosing. ECGs were performed at B1, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours after dosing and pupil responsiveness and psychomotor performance were evaluated pre dose and at 2.5 and 8 hours after dosing. Urine was collected at 0 36 hours and 36 60 hours after treatment and blood for clinical chemistry and hematology was collected prior to the start of the study and 36 hours after each phase of the study.

Two subjects reported tiredness, pre dose ( 0.125 mg/ kg) for 9 and 8h respectively, but this was determined to be unrelated to treatment. Vital signs and ECG parameters were within normal limits. No clinically significant changes were seen in pupil response. Psychomotor performance results showed no significant differences between pre and post treatment. One subject had a slightly elevated total bilirubin at the post study screen but it returned to normal limits within three weeks completion of the study. No treatment related effects were found on hematology or urinalysis parameters. This oral toxicity study in humans is Acceptable/ Nonguideline and satisfies the intent of the study.

COMPLIANCE: Signed and dated GLP, Quality Assurance, and Data Confidentiality statements were provided.

I. MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A. MATERIALS:

1. Test material: Amitraz Description: white crystalline powder Lot/ Batch #: not reported Purity: 98.2%

Compound Stability: one year CAS No. of TGAI: 33089 61 1 Structure:

2. Vehicle and/ or positive control: Lactose 3. Subjects:

Age: 28.17 " 3.54 years Sex: male Human Tolerance  Oral ( 1992) Page 4 of 6 AMITRAZ/ 106201 Nonguideline Weight: 67.15 " 3.15 kg Height: 1.71 " 0.05 m Blood Pressure ( Systolic) 118.33 " 7.53 Blood Pressure ( Diastolic) 73.33 " 10.33 Pulse: 75 " 6 Respirations: 17 " 1 Temperature: 36.33 " 0.29 ECG: Normal B. STUDY DESIGN:

1. In life dates: Start: January 21, 1992; End: March 4, 1992 2. Dose Selection: Previous studies had demonstrated no effect at 0.03 mg/ kg and sedation at 0.25 mg/ kg Amitraz and it was estimated that the maximum NOAEL was between 0.06 and 0.25 mg/ kg in humans. The present randomized double blind study was designed to identify the tolerance of male volunteers to two single doses of Amitraz spaced 2 3 weeks apart and determine the NOAEL. The study was approved by the Simbec Independent Ethics Committee ( 20 th Nov. 91) and performed according to the Helsinki and Hong Kong revisions ( l989).

3. Dosing: The study subjects were admitted to the clinical pharmacology unit the evening before dosing and remained fasting until the next morning. They remained in the unit until 36 hours after each dosing phase. No concomitant medication, alcohol, or drugs of abuse were allowed during the study. Each study subject received sequential single oral doses of Amitraz ( encapsulated 0.0625 or 0.125 mg/ kg in lactose) with a placebo ( lactose) control. Each dose was given 30 minutes after breakfast with 150 mL of water. In Phase 1 of the study, 4 subjects received placebo and 2 received 0.0625 mg/ kg Amitraz. During Phase 2 conducted 14 days after Phase 1, two subjects received placebo, two subjects received the low dose, and two subjects received the high dose. In Phase 3 ( 14 days after Phase 2) three subjects received placebo and four subjects received the high dose. The research was designed so all subjects received placebo, low dose, and highdose during the course of the study.

4. Observations: On the morning of dosing during each phase of the study, the pulse, respiration rate, blood pressure, and temperature of each subject were recorded at  1,  0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours. ECGs were done one hour before dosing and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours. Psychomotor performance and pupil responsiveness were measured pre dose and at 2.5 and 8 hours after dosing.

5. Hematology and clinical chemistry: Blood was collected pre study, and at 36 hours after each phase of the study. The CHECKED ( X) parameters were examined.

a. Hematology:

X Hematocrit ( HCT) X Leukocyte Differential Count X Hemoglobin ( HGB) X Mean corpuscular HGB ( MCH)

X Leukocyte count ( WBC) X Mean corpusc. HGB conc.( MCHC)

X Erythrocyte count ( RBC) X Mean corpusc. volume ( MCV)

X Platelet count b. Clinical chemistry: Human Tolerance  Oral ( 1992) Page 5 of 6 AMITRAZ/ 106201 Nonguideline X Sodium X Creatinine X Potassium X Urea nitrogen X Bicarbonate X Glucose X Alanine aminotransferase ( also SGPT) X Total bilirubin X Aspartate aminotransferase ( also SGOT) X Total protein ( TP)

X Gamma glutamyl transferase ( GGT) X Albumin 6. Urinalysis: Urine was collected pre dose and 0 36, and 36 60 hours after application for the first phase. The CHECKED ( X) parameters were examined.

X Specific gravity/ osmolality X Glucose X pH X Ketones X Protein X Bilirubin X Blood/ blood cells X Urobilinogen 7. Statistics: Kruskal Wallis one way analysis of variance was used for temporally related changes and Wilcoxon Rank Sum was used to determine changes between phases. Critical data evaluated included blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiration rate and ECG. Human Tolerance  Oral ( 1992) Page 6 of 6 AMITRAZ/ 106201 Nonguideline II. RESULTS:

A. OBSERVATIONS:

3. Adverse Events and Clinical Signs: Two subjects reported tiredness, predose ( 0.125 mg/ kg) for 9 and 8h respectively. This was determined to be unrelated to treatment. One subject was dismissed from the study because of an unrelated skin rash and was replaced. All other subjects were reported well following the study.

4. Physiological Measurements: Vital signs and ECG parameters were normal. No clinically significant changes were seen in pupil response. Psychomotor performance results showed no significant differences between pre and post treatment.

5. Serum Clinical Chemistry: One subject had a slightly elevated total bilirubin at the post study screen. By three weeks after the end of the study, the total bilirubin had returned to within normal limits. No other effects of clinical chemistry parameters were found.

6. Hematology: No treatment related effects were found.

7. Urinalysis: No treatment related effects were found.

8. Drugs of Abuse. No drugs of abuse were detected.

III. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

A. INVESTIGATORS =

CONCLUSIONS: The investigators concluded that Amitraz at doses of 0.0625 mg/ kg and 0.125 mg/ kg was well tolerated with no clinical signs of toxicity including hematology, clinical chemistry, pupil responsiveness, eye, and psychomotor evaluations. The NOAEL was 0.125 mg/ kg.

B. REVIEWER COMMENTS: This report has individual data for all endpoints and no discrepancies with investigators =

conclusions were found. The highest dose ( 0.125 mg/ kg) may be considered a NOAEL based on the parameters investigated. Previous studies had demonstrated a no effect level at 0.03 mg/ kg and sedation at 0.25 mg/ kg Amitraz and it was estimated that the maximum NOAEL was between 0.06 and 0.25 mg/ kg in humans. Literature reported clinical signs and symptoms after human exposure to Amitraz include drowsiness, loss of consciousness, confused mental state, agitation, weakness, headache, vomiting, and malaise ( Ellenhorn, M. J. et al 1997). In a 14 C Human Amitraz study, many of these symptoms were seen at 0.25 mg/ kg in two human subjects. In this study no complaints or adverse effects were seen at roughly half the dose that had sedated subjects and caused nausea in previous studies. The psychomotor performance and perhaps pupil responsiveness evaluated should be sensitive enough to detect CNS depression and respiratory depression. Bradycardia would have been detected with the ECG, blood pressure, heart rate and respiration evaluations. Due to human variation, this may prove to be a tight bracketing of the no effect level.

C. STUDY DEFICIENCIES: There are standards for human studies and endpoints are chosen, as with animal studies, to cover most organ systems plus any known endpoints associated with the chemical. In the case of Amitraz, most of the known human effects were covered by these investigations and doses were carefully chosen. More discussion of known human effects, rationale for choosing parameters for evaluation and any known additivity of doses and serious effects at higher doses or longer exposure would be helpful.

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

3) Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage contained
in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any operations
under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the form of a

contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or b) based on
a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term “international air transportation” means “international
transportation” as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the

Interstate Gas Transmission LLC (KMIGT) and Northern Natural Gas
Company (Northern), pursuant to section 385.207 of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations jointly petition the
Commission for a temporary waiver of section 157.202(b)(2)(ii)(A), (B)
and (C) of the Commission's regulations, which exclude a main line of a
gas transmission system, an extension of a main line, and a facility,
including compression and looping, that alters the capacity of a main
line (except for certain replacement faculties and facility
modifications) from the facilities eligible for construction under a
section 157, subpart F blanket certificate. For reasons explained more
fully in the filing, petitioners request that the exclusion of these
facilities be waived to allow the construction of such main line
facilities under a blanket certificate pending issuance of a final rule
in Docket No. RM06-7-000,\1\ for the purpose of providing service to
any new plant constructed or existing plant expanded for the production
of ``renewable fuel'' as defined in section 1501 of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005.\2\ If the Commission conditions its waiver to incorporate
the 60-day prior notice requirement proposed in the NOPR, such a
condition would be acceptable to the Petitioners.

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to
intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to
have comments considered.
    The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of
the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission
will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the
filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that
persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of
their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the
protest.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing''
link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages

intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's

Project Description:

  The Coast Guard is establishing a Special Local Regulation (SLR) and issue a Marine Event Permit to the Puerto Rico Offshore Series Inc. for the Fajardo Offshore Grand Prix scheduled for Sunday, April 03, 2015.  This event will include approximately 30 High-Speed boats and will take place within navigable waters of Rada Fajardo; waters frequented by recreational traffic.  This event could potentially cause a threat to the safety of recreational vessels and create a navigational safety hazards for recreational traffic.  The SLR will prohibit persons and vessels from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port San Juan Puerto Rico or a designated representative.  The permit and regulation are intended to minimize the chance of accidents, provide protection to the high-speed boat race participants and general public. This rule is effective and will be enforced from 1000 until 1600 on April 03, 2015.

  A National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) scoping process was used with selected Federal and State agencies and organizations.  The marine public will be made aware of the event via a "Broadcast Notice to Mariners."
