                 Attachment 3:  Uses of Specific Data Elements
This attachment provides more specific information on a data-element basis to supplement the information provided in response to Question 2 in the ICR supporting statement.
    Parent company, site, and technical contact information: Information about the U.S. parent company (and foreign parent company, when applicable) associated with the reporting site is used for protecting information claimed as confidential when there are multiple sites for the same parent company and for comparing data from various sources, such as is done for EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).Consistent use of parent company names makes for more meaningful comparisons of data and reduces after-reporting quality control efforts for both EPA and submitters. Site information is important because EPA and stakeholders need to know where chemical manufacturing (including import) occurs. EPA uses the technical contact information to contact submitters in the event of questions about the submission.
    NAICS codes: The reporting site's NAICS code(s) helps EPA to more accurately understand the chemical industry, including identifying sector-specific trends.
    Manufacturing-related information:
       The identity of the chemical substance: This data element identifies the specific chemical substance for which the information is being reported.
       The production volume of a manufactured (including imported) chemical substance used at the reporting site: This data element identifies whether a chemical substance is used on site. Either domestically manufactured or imported chemical substances can be reported as used at the reporting site. This information is related to potential exposures associated with the on-site volumes and provides the Agency with information for exposure assessments and other data analyses.
       The production volume for each of the years since the last principal reporting year: Manufacturers (including importers) need to report production volume information for the principal reporting year (the year before the collection; i.e., for 2024 the principal reporting year would be 2023) and for each of the calendar years since the last report (i.e., 2020, 2021, 2022), if a chemical substance was manufactured (including imported) at a site in excess of the relevant production volume threshold (25,000 pounds or 2,500 pounds if subject to certain TSCA actions) for any of the four calendar years. Examples of how EPA will use these data include: chemical prioritization, evaluation, and management efforts; chemical manufacturing, processing, and use trend analyses; and assessment of Agency and public programs.
       Whether an imported chemical substance is physically at the reporting site: Imported chemical substances may never physically be located at the reporting site because, upon import, they are shipped directly to another site. This data element enables the Agency and others to better assess manufacturing-related potential exposures, thereby enabling information for screening-level analyses and other uses of the CDR data.
       The production volume directly exported and not domestically processed or used: This data element allows EPA to identify the completeness of the reported processing and use information by indicating the proportion of the production volume potentially covered by the reported processing and use information. CDR processing and use information is required only for domestic use situations and is not required for any volumes directly exported. This data element informs the exposure profile for the U.S. public.
       Percent production volume that is a byproduct: (voluntary data element) This data element helps EPA identify important submitter subpopulations and their representation in CDR with respect to production volume. With these data, EPA is able to better understand the reporting impacts on this subpopulation, including to identify those manufacturers who only report to CDR due to their byproduct production. In addition, these data help EPA to understand and connect manufacturing and downstream activities for the purposes of substance life cycle assessments and risk evaluation.
       The number of workers exposed: This data element allows EPA to identify the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable chemical substance during manufacture at each site. This exposure-related information allows OPPT to screen chemical substances based on the potential for risk in order to protect human health.
       The maximum concentration of a chemical: This data element provides maximum concentration measured by percentage of weight of a reportable chemical substance at the time it is reacted on-site to produce a different chemical substance or as it leaves the site. This data element provides information relevant to the exposure profile of a chemical substance.
       Whether a manufactured (including imported) chemical substance is being recycled, remanufactured, reprocessed, or reused: This data element provides information relevant to the exposure profile of a chemical substance and indicate efficiencies within the chemical manufacturing industry.
       The physical form of a chemical: This data element provides information needed for the Agency to understanding potential routes of exposure to the chemical substance, which is dependent in part on the physical form of the chemical substance.
    Processing and use information: Data elements that relate to processing and use help EPA and other agencies to readily screen and prioritize chemicals for the purpose of identifying potential human health and environmental effects. For example, the data are used in exposure and risk screening, testing and/or priority setting, and exposure estimates required by TSCA section 4; for EPA monitoring activities of newly manufactured substances that have completed pre-manufacture notification (PMN) review under TSCA section 5(a); and to measure potential human and environmental exposure which helps inform chemical risk evaluations, such as those required under TSCA section 6. Each data element corresponds to a data point necessary for basic risk screening.
       Industrial processing and use data: These data elements identify how the chemical is processed or used in an industrial setting, including the function of the chemical substance in any formulation or product. The industrial data elements include the type of process or use operation (TPU), the industrial sector (IS) and the industrial function category (IFC). Both IS and IFC codes were designed to consolidate information based on potential exposure-related scenarios, thereby reducing the number of choices available to the respondent, streamlining the reporting process, and making the data easier to use. Also included in this industrial processing and use section are data elements for percent production volume, number of sites, and number of workers. These data elements help to characterize the potential exposures associated with the TPU, IS, and IFC data elements.
       Consumer and commercial use data: These data are reported separately from the industrial data and are used to determine exposure potential based on uses by consumer and commercial populations. The specific data elements include product category; whether the application is intended for consumer or commercial populations (or both), including specifically for use by children, the function of the chemical in the use application, and characterizing data elements (percent production volume, maximum concentration, and number of commercial workers). This information allows EPA and the public to better understand the consumer and commercial uses of CDR chemicals, including what is in children's products, thereby enabling the Agency to better characterize chemical exposures related to children's health.
    Special considerations for Joint Submitters when Chemical Identity is Unknown: In certain situations, CDR submitters are allowed to report the information jointly with the supplier(s) of the chemical substance for which the submitter is reporting. For example, importers may not know the specific chemical identity of the imported TSCA chemical substance because the foreign supplier chooses to keep the information confidential. In addition, a manufacturer may not know the specific chemical identity of the substance being manufactured because the supplier of a reactant used to manufacture the substance chooses to keep the information confidential. In such situations, the manufacturer (including importer) is still responsible for ensuring that the CDR information is submitted to EPA and may do so by submitting a joint report.
   In the case of an imported substance, the U.S.-based importer, as the primary submitter, initiates and completes the majority of the required information on Form U, and provides a trade name to identify the chemical substance. Using e-CDRweb (the electronic reporting tool), the primary submitter then contacts the foreign supplier, as the secondary submitter, to notify them of the need to report the specific chemical identity information directly to EPA in the Secondary Form U. Because signatures are required by each party of a joint submission, each party must register with CDX, complete their own company information sections on Form U, and submit their respective portions of the same report electronically to EPA. The secondary submitter will not be able to access the information provided by the primary submitter and vice versa. EPA combines information provided separately by the primary and secondary submitters, thereby providing a complete picture of the CDR data for the subject chemical substance without breaching confidentiality.
   EPA collects certain data to enable the joint submission and to combine information from the two parties. These data will be used in the following ways:
       Joint submission information (primary submitter): The primary submitter provides a trade name or other designation in place of the specific chemical identification and the secondary company contact information (name, address, email address). This information is used by the electronic reporting tool to contact the secondary submitter and by EPA to connect the information from both parts of the submission.
       Secondary company identification information (secondary submitter): These data identify the secondary submitter's company name and the complete mailing address of the company. The information helps ensure that the company information is provided consistently and is used to associate the secondary submitter's company with the primary submitter's company and site plant.
       Technical contact information (secondary submitter): The company's technical contact information provides EPA with the name and complete mailing address of the person who will be able to answer questions that EPA may have about the reported chemical substance.
       Trade product identification information (secondary submitter): These data identify chemicals associated with the primary submitters supplied trade product name and include the associated chemical name and Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) Registry Number. If the product contains multiple chemicals, the secondary submitter includes also the percent of formulation for each chemical substance. The secondary submitter also identifies the function of each chemical in the imported product, which EPA uses in combination with the industrial or consumer/commercial information provided by the primary submitter, as per the processing and use information discussion provided earlier in this section.
    Special considerations for Co-Manufactured Chemicals when reported jointly by the Contracting and Producing Companies:  In certain circumstances, manufacturers may choose to report their co-manufactured chemical jointly, such that each party (i.e., the contracting company and the producing company) provides certain information directly to EPA. This is primarily done when one or both parties consider some of its information as confidential.  These special considerations do not apply when co-manufacturers chose to share their information with each other, resulting in the producing company report all information to EPA.
   In the case of a jointly-reported co-manufactured chemical, the contracting company initiates the co-manufacture report by providing the chemical identity and the identity of the producing company and name (actual name, trade name, or other alias) used to identify the chemical substance in communications with the producing company. Using e-CDRweb (the electronic reporting tool), the contracting company then contacts the producing company to notify them of the need to report the manufacturing-related information directly to EPA as part of the producing company's Form U. Because signatures are required by each party of a co-manufactured chemical submission, each party must register with CDX, complete their own company information sections on Form U, and submit their respective portions of the same report electronically to EPA. The contracting company will not be able to access the information provided by the producing company and vice versa. EPA combines information provided separately by the contracting and producing companies, thereby providing a complete picture of the CDR data for the subject chemical substance without breaching confidentiality.
   EPA collects certain data to enable the joint submission and to combine information from the two parties. These data will be used in the following ways:
       Joint submission information (contracting company): The contracting provides a trade name or other designation in place of the specific chemical identification and the producing company contact information (name, address, email address). This information is used by the electronic reporting tool to contact the producing company and by EPA to connect the information from both parts of the submission.
       Producing company identification information: These data identify the producing company's name and the complete mailing address of the company. The information helps ensure that the company information is provided consistently and is used to associate the contracting company's information with the producing company.
       Technical contact information (producing company): The company's technical contact information provides EPA with the name and complete mailing address of the person who will be able to answer questions that EPA may have about the reported chemical substance.
About certain data elements: For the most part, the contracting company provides the chemical identity and processing and use information for the co-manufactured chemical, and the producing company provides the manufacturing-related data. The uses of these data are provided earlier in this section. For selected data, the information is provided by both companies due to differing knowledge bases among different co-manufacturers. In addition, for other data elements the terminology may be changed from what is used for a non-co-manufactured chemical; however, the intent and use of the information is unchanged. Specifically:
 Production volume:  The production volume is collected from both the contracting company and the producing company as a check that there is consistency between the two companies.  In addition, other data elements are reported as "percent production volume"  -  to ensure that the calculated amount is as intended by the reporter, EPA needs the total production volume from the same reporter.
 Contracted volume directly exported from producing site: This information is collected from both the contracting company and the producing company due to a request from a contracting company.  Although the producing company may be provided the location of the recipient of the manufactured chemical, there are circumstances where the producing company could be unaware that the chemical is going to a non-U.S. destination.
 Contracted volume never physically at site: This data element, although considered a manufacturing-related data element, is reported by the contracting company.  Similar to the situation for an importer, the contracting company may never receive the chemical substance at its site.  EPA uses this information to determine the number and location of sites that have a potential for exposure to the chemical substance.
    CBI Substantiation: Most CDR data can be claimed as CBI when the CDR reporting form is submitted to EPA. As required under TSCA as amended by the Lautenberg Act, substantiation for CBI claims must be submitted at the time the claim is made, except for CBI claims for production volume information (excludes percent production volume). The e-CDRweb electronic reporting tool is the mechanism for submitting substantiation information. For certain data elements, submitters must answer EPA substantiation questions related to whether the information is publicly known and whether public knowledge of the information would hurt a business' competitive position. EPA provides additional questions for chemical identification that is claimed CBI.

    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 summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form TH (17 CFR 239.65, 17 CFR 249.447, 269.10 and 17 CFR 274.404)

Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.) and the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) is used by registrants to
notify the Commission that an electronic filer is relying on the
temporary hardship exemption for the filing of a document in paper form
that would otherwise be required to be filed electronically as required

to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.

    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 imposed by 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.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Extend the Quarterly Options Series Pilot Program

July 2, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on June 27, 2008, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or
``Amex'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange.
The Exchange has designated this proposal as non-controversial under
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposed rule change effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to extend for one year, through July 10,
2009, its pilot program allowing the listing and trading of options
series that expire at the close of business on the last business day of
a calendar quarter (the ``Pilot Program''). The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://
www.amex.com), at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is proposing to extend the Pilot Program from July 10,
2008, through and including July 10, 2009.
    The Pilot Program was originally approved by the Commission in July
2006,\5\ and subsequently extended in July 2007.\6\ The Pilot Program
permits the Amex to accommodate the listing and trading of options
series that expire at the close of business on the last business day of
a calendar quarter (``Quarterly Options Series''). The Exchange as well
as the other options exchanges recently amended the Pilot Program to
permit the listing of additional Quarterly Options Series relating to
exchange-traded fund (``ETF'') shares.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54137 (July 12,
2006), 71 FR 41283 (July 20, 2006) (SR-Amex-2006-67).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56032 (July 9,
2007), 72 FR 38634 (July 13, 2007) (SR-Amex-2007-66).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57581 (March 31,
2008), 73 FR 18593 (April 4, 2008) (SR-Amex-2008-31) (``Pilot
Expansion''). The Pilot Expansion permits the listing of additional
series and establishes a delisting policy for outlying series with
no open interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange submits that Quarterly Options Series are beneficial
to the marketplace and provide investors an additional risk management
tool. Amex Rules 900(b)(45) and 900C(c)(26) define ``Quarterly Options
Series'' as a series of an options class or an index options class,
respectively, that is approved for listing and trading on the Exchange
in which the series is opened for trading on any business day and that
expires at the close of business on the last business day of a calendar
quarter. Quarterly Options Series are limited to

options classes that are either stock index options or options on ETF
shares and can be opened on a business day (``Quarterly Options Opening
Date''). Commentary .09 to Amex Rule 903 and Amex Rule 903C(a)(iv) set
forth the requirements for listing such options on the Exchange.
Specifically, the Exchange lists series that expire at the end of the
next four consecutive calendar quarters, as well as the fourth quarter
of the next calendar year.
    The Exchange has submitted a report (``Report'') providing data
regarding the Pilot Program as required in the original approval of the
Pilot Program \8\ as amended by the Pilot Expansion.\9\ Under the terms
of the Pilot Program, the Exchange selected (5) option classes on which
Quarterly Options Series may be opened on any Quarterly Options Opening
Date. Also under the terms of the Pilot Program, the Exchange may list
those Quarterly Options Series on any option class that is selected by
another securities exchange with a similar Pilot Program under its
rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Report submitted to the Commission is required to
include, at a minimum: (1) Data and written analysis on the open
interest and trading volume in the classes for which Quarterly
Options Series were opened; (2) an assessment of the appropriateness
of the option classes selected for the Pilot Program; (3) an
assessment of the impact of the Pilot Program on the capacity on the
Amex, OPRA and on market data vendors (to the extent data from
market data vendors is available); (4) any capacity problems or
other problems that arose during the operation of the Pilot Program
and how the Amex addressed such problems; (5) any complaints that
the Amex received during the operation of the Pilot Program and how
the Amex addressed them; and (6) any additional information that
would assist the Commission in assessing the operation of the Pilot
Program.
    \9\ In connection with the Pilot Expansion (see supra note 7),
the Commission required that the Report also include an analysis of
(1) the impact of the additional series on the Exchange's market and
quote capacity, and (2) the implementation and effects of the
delisting policy, including the number of series eligible for
delisting during the period covered by the report, the number of
series actually de-listed during that period (pursuant to the
delisting policy or otherwise), and documentation of any customer
requests to maintain Quarterly Options Series strikes that were
otherwise eligible for delisting.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in the Report, the Exchange has not selected any
additional ETF or stock index options for the Pilot at this time. As
the data in the Report indicate, the Amex volume trends in Quarterly
Options Series as compared to all options in the Pilot securities show
higher utilization rates throughout the year. Specifically, an
examination of monthly volume in Quarterly Options Series as compared
to all options in the Pilot Program securities shows a monthly average
of 7.5% or 335,383 contracts per month. Notable are the higher
utilization rates seen in the calendar quarters of December 2007 and
May 2008 that were 12.94% and 21.53%, respectively. The Exchange
believes that the December 2007 figures demonstrate that Quarterly
Options Series increasingly are used by participants looking to hedge
exposures through the end of a given calendar quarter. With respect to
the large increase in utilization of Quarterly Options Series during
May 2008, the data indicate that the primary reason is due to trading
in Select Energy SPDR options (XLE). The Exchange submits that based on
greater volatility and price increases in recent months in the energy
commodities sectors, XLE has concurrently shown increased interest and
trading by investors.
    In connection with open interest, the Report reveals that, on
average, Quarterly Options Series account for 15% of total open
interest in Pilot Program securities. The open interest in Quarterly
Options Series has generally trended higher during the time period
evaluated. The December 2007 and March 2008 open interest in Quarterly
Options Series were markedly higher, at 18.2% and 18.1% of total
options open interest, respectively.
    Accordingly, the Exchange believes that an extension of the Pilot
Program for one year, through July 10, 2009, is warranted in order to
satisfy the institutional demand for such options and provide
additional flexibility as well as an additional risk management tool to
investors.
    The Exchange notes that it possesses the adequate systems capacity
to support the trading of Quarterly Options Series.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6 of Act \10\ in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \11\ in particular in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange further
believes that an extension of the Quarterly Options Series Pilot
Program will benefit the marketplace and continue to provide investors
additional risk management tools.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change does not impose
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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as one that:
(1) Does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the
public interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on
competition; and (3) does not become operative for 30 days from the
date of filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule
19b-4 thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the operative delay
to permit the proposed rule change to become operative prior to the
30th day after filing. The Commission has determined that waiving the
30-day operative delay of the Exchange's proposal is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest and will promote
competition because such waiver will allow the Exchange to continue the
existing Quarterly Options Series Pilot Program without
interruption.\14\ Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal
operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the

Commission may summarily abrogate the rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity):  United
States-Canada Air Transport Agreement. (U.S.-Canada Agreement)

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the
terms, conditions, and limitations of our standard exemption conditions
(attached).

Special conditions/Remarks:  We found that the applicant is
operationally and financially qualified to conduct its proposed
operations.  In addition, we found that the applicant is substantially
owned and effectively controlled by citizens of its homeland.  Also, by
memorandum dated March 6, 2006, the FAA advised us that it knows of no
reason to withhold this authority.

In the conduct of these operations, the carrier must adhere to all
applicable provisions of the U.S.-Canada Agreement.  We note that under
this authority the carrier may conduct charter operations between: 1)
Canada and the United States; and 2) third countries and the United
States, via Canada, with a stopover in Canada for at least two
consecutive nights.  Other charters to be conducted under this
authority, however, are subject to prior approval under 14 CFR Part 212.
 The one-year duration of the authority we granted is consistent with
our usual policy of granting exemption authority in the circumstances
presented.  We, therefore, dismissed the application to the extent that
it sought authority for a longer period.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director, Office of International
Aviation

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) the applicant was qualified to perform its proposed
operations; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land; Minneapolis-
St. Paul International Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a proposal to change 5.69 acres of
airport land from aeronautical use to non-aeronautical use and to
authorize the lease of airport property located at Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The aforementioned land
is not needed for aeronautical use.
    The subject property is located to the southeast of United States
Post Office and south of the Terminal 1 inbound and outbound roadways
located at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Minneapolis,
Minnesota. The subject property does not currently have a designated
use. The proposed non-aeronautical use of the property is for the
construction of a hotel.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 22, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Documents are available for review by appointment at the FAA
Dakota-Minnesota Airports District Office, Simon Schmitz, Program
Manager, 6020 28th Avenue South, Room 102, Minneapolis, MN 55450-2706.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 47107(h) of Title
49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the
Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that
requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
    The site was part of a 1955 land conveyance from the Administrator
of Veterans' Affairs to the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The
subject property is located southeast of the United States Post Office
and south of the Terminal 1 inbound and outbound roadways at
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The
subject property was previously leased by Northwest Airlines as an
office building with an attached hangar. The office building and hangar
have since been demolished and the site does not currently have a
designated use. The proposed non-aeronautical use of the property is a
ground lease for the development of a hotel which will generate
additional revenue for the airport. The Metropolitan Airports
Commission intends to enter into a 75-year fair market value lease with
a hotel developer. The proposed ground lease will provide for
reappraisal of the fair market ground rent as frequently as every five
(5) years. The disposition of proceeds from the lease of the airport
property will be in accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures
Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 1999 (64 FR 7696).
    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of
the subject airport property at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport, Minneapolis, Minnesota, from its obligations to be maintained
for aeronautical purposes. Approval does not constitute a commitment by
the FAA to financially assist in the change in use of the subject
airport property nor a determination of eligibility for grant-in-aid
funding from the FAA.
    Following is a legal description of the subject airport property to
be released at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport,
Minneapolis, Minnesota:
    The Southwest Quarter of Section 29, Township 26 North, Range 23
West, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
