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

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.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 parts 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 proposes to modify its fee schedule applicable to the
Exchange's options platform (``BZX Options'') to: (i) Modify the
Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tiers under footnote 9; (ii) remove
fee codes PA and NA from footnote 4, NBBO Setter Tiers; (iii) modify
the criteria for Tier 5 under footnote 1, Customer Penny Pilot Add;
(iv) modify the criteria for the Tier 1 under footnote 3, Non-Customer
Penny Pilot Take Volume; and (v) modify the criteria for Tier 1 under
footnote 13, Non-Customer Non-Penny Pilot Take Volume.
Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tiers
    The Exchange is proposing to add two new tiers under footnote 9,
Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tiers,\4\ Tier 3 and Tier 4.
Currently, Professional \5\ orders that add liquidity in Penny Pilot
Securities \6\ receive a standard rebate of $0.25 per contract. In
addition, Members who qualify for Tier 1 and Tier 2 under footnote 9,
Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tier, receive for such orders a
rebate of $0.40 and $0.43, respectively. Under the proposed new Tier 3,
a Member that has a combined ADAV \7\ in Customer \8\ and Professional
orders equal to or greater than 0.30% of average TCV \9\ would receive
a $0.46 rebate per contract for each Professional order that adds
liquidity in Penny Pilot Securities. Under the proposed new Tier 4, a
Member that has a combined ADAV in Customer and Professional orders
equal to or greater than 0.50% of average TCV would receive a $0.48
rebate per contract for each Professional order that adds liquidity in
Penny Pilot Securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In addition to the proposed substantive changes to footnote
9, the Exchange proposes to make the title of the footnote plural,
as it currently reads ``Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tier''
even though there is more than one tier.
    \5\ As set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, the term
``Professional'' applies to any transaction identified by a Member
as such pursuant to Exchange Rule 16.1.
    \6\ ``Penny Pilot Securities'' are those issues quoted pursuant
to Exchange Rule 21.5, Interpretation and Policy .01.
    \7\ As set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, ``ADAV'' means
average daily volume calculated as the number of contracts added per
day.
    \8\ As set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, the term
``Customer'' applies to any transaction identified by a Member for
clearing in the Customer range at the Options Clearing Corporation
(``OCC''), excluding any transaction for a Broker Dealer or a
``Professional'' as defined in Exchange Rule 16.1.
    \9\ As set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, ``TCV'' means
total consolidated volume calculated as the volume reported by all
exchanges to the consolidated transaction reporting plan for the
month for which the fees apply, excluding volume on any day that the
Exchange experiences an Exchange System Disruption and on any day
with a scheduled early market close.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is also proposing to modify the criteria necessary to
qualify for the Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tier 1 and to
increase the rebate provided under both Professional Penny Pilot Add
Volume Tier 1 and Tier 2 under footnote 9. Currently under Tier 1, a
Member must have an ADV \10\ equal to or greater than 0.25% of average
TCV in order to receive a rebate of $0.40. The Exchange now proposes an
increased rebate of $0.42 pursuant to Tier 1 when a Member has an ADAV
in Customer and Professional Orders equal to or greater than 0.10% of
average TCV. Thus, in addition to increasing the rebate this change
will align the structure of the criteria of Tier 1 with the structure
of existing Tier 2 as well as new proposed Tiers 3 and 4 described
above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ As set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, ``ADV'' means
average daily volume calculated as the number of contracts added or
removed, combined, per day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under Tier 2 the Exchange presently provides a rebate of $0.43 for
Members who have a combined ADAV in Customer and Professional orders
equal to or greater than 0.20% of average TCV. The Exchange is
proposing to increase the rebate under Tier 2 to $0.44. In addition, in
order to ensure consistent terminology throughout footnote 9, the
Exchange proposes to modify the description of Tier 2 to eliminate the
reference to ``combined'' such that the Tier will apply when a Member
has an ADAV in Customer and Professional orders equal to or greater
than 0.20% of average TCV. The Exchange believes the use of the word
``combined'' in this case is unnecessary and inconsistent with other
portions of the fee schedule.\11\ The Exchange also notes that changes
are required to the Standard Rates table of the fee schedule in
connection with the changes to footnote 9 to reflect these changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See, e.g., footnote 2, Tier 1, which simply refers to ADAV
in orders representing multiple capacities (``Away MM/Firm/BD/JBO
orders'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NBBO Setter Tiers
    The Exchange's NBBO Setter Program is a program intended to
incentivize aggressive quoting on BZX Options by providing an
additional rebate upon execution for all orders that add liquidity that
set either the national best bid (``NBB'') or national best offer
(``NBO''), subject to certain volume requirements. The Exchange
currently operates four NBBO Setter Tiers that provide an additional
rebate of either $0.02, $0.03 or $0.04 per contract to orders from
qualifying Members that submit orders that yield fee codes PA, PF, PM,
[sic] NA, NF, NM or NN.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The Exchange notes that it also offers a fifth NBBO Setter
Tier that provides an additional rebate of $0.05 per contract to
orders from qualifying Members that submit orders that yield fee
codes PF, PM and PN.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not propose to modify the criteria necessary to
qualify for the NBBO Setter Tiers or the rebates provided thereunder,
however the Exchange does propose to limit the applicability of Tier 1
through Tier 4 to fee codes PF, PM, PN, NF, NM, and NN. Thus, NBBO
Setter Tiers rebates would no longer be provided to orders yielding fee
codes PA or NA. The Exchange also proposes to eliminate references to

footnote 4 for each of these fee codes on the Fee Codes and Associated
Fees chart.
Customer Penny Pilot Add Tiers
    The Exchange currently offers a total of eight tiers under footnote
1, Customer Penny Pilot Add Tiers, which provide rebates for Customer
orders in Penny Pilot Securities that add liquidity to BZX Options and
yield fee code PY. The Exchange proposes to update the required
criteria for Customer Add Volume Tier 5 under footnote 1 as set forth
below.
    Presently under Tier 5, the Exchange provides a rebate of $0.53 per
contract for a Customer order where a Member: (1) Has an ADAV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.60% of average TCV; (2) has
an ADAV in Market Maker \13\ orders equal to or greater than 0.30% of
average TCV; and (3) has on the Exchange's affiliated equity securities
platform (``BZX Equities'') an ADAV equal to or greater than 0.30% of
average TCV. The Exchange proposes to modify the second prong of these
criteria to decrease the ADAV threshold in Market Maker orders from
0.30% to 0.25%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ As set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, the term
``Market Maker'' applies to any transaction identified by a Member
for clearing in the Market Maker range at the OCC, where such Member
is registered with the Exchange as a Market Maker as defined in Rule
16.1(a)(37).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Non-Customer Penny Pilot Take Volume Tiers
    The Exchange currently offers a total of three tiers under footnote
3, Non-Customer Penny Pilot Take Volume Tiers, which provide discounted
fees for Non-Customer orders in Penny Pilot Securities that remove
liquidity from BZX Options under fee code PP. The Exchange proposes to
update the required criteria for Tier 1, as set forth below.
    The Exchange currently charges $0.44 per contract for Members that
qualify for Non-Customer Volume Tier 1, which requires that a Member
has (1) an ADAV in Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.60% of
average TCV; (2) an ADAV in Market orders equal to or greater than
0.30%; and (3) on BZX Equities an ADAV equal to or greater than 0.30%
of average TCV. The Exchange proposes to modify the second prong of
these criteria to decrease the ADAV threshold in Market Maker orders
from 0.30% to 0.25%.
Non-Customer Non-Penny Pilot Take Volume Tiers
    The Exchange presently offers a total of three tiers under footnote
13, Non-Customer Non-Penny Pilot Take Volume Tiers,\14\ which offer
discounted fees for Non-Customer orders in No-Penny Pilot Securities
that remove liquidity from BZX Options under fee code NP. The Exchange
is proposing to update the required criteria for Tier 1 under footnote
13 as described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ In addition to the proposed substantive changes to footnote
13, the Exchange proposes to make the title of the footnote plural,
as it currently reads ``Non-Customer Non-Penny Pilot Take Volume
Tier'' even though there is more than one tier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Exchange charges $1.02 per contract for Members that
qualify for Non-Customer Take Volume Tier 1, which requires that a
Member has (1) an ADAV in Customer orders equal to or greater than
0.60% of average TCV; (2) an ADAV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 0.30% of average TCV; and (3) on BZX Equities an ADAV
equal to or greater than 0.30% of average TCV. The Exchange is
proposing to modify the second prong of these criteria to decrease the
ADAV threshold in Market Maker orders from 0.30% to 0.25%.
Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to its fee
schedule as of October 3, 2016.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\15\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\16\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the
Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange notes that it operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels to be
excessive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Volume-based rebates such as those currently maintained on the
Exchange have been widely adopted by equities and options exchanges and
are equitable because they are open to all Members on an equal basis
and provide additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably
related to the value to an exchange's market quality associated with
higher levels of market activity, such as higher levels of liquidity
provision and/or growth patterns, and introduction of higher volumes of
orders into the price and volume discovery processes.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to add two new Professional
Penny Pilot Add Volume Tiers and update the required criteria and
rebate amounts for Tier 1 and Tier 2 under footnote 9 is reasonable,
fair and equitable and non-discriminatory, for the reasons set forth
above with respect to volume-based pricing generally. In addition, the
Exchange believes the amount of the proposed rebates offered under the
new Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tiers, Tier 3 and Tier 4, are
equitable and reasonable because they are generally in line with the
proposed rebates offered pursuant to Professional Penny Pilot Add
Volume Tier 1 and Tier 2. The Exchange believes that the proposed tiers
are reasonable, fair and equitable, and non-discriminatory because
they, like the Professional Penny Pilot Add Volume Tier generally, are
aimed to incentivize active participation on the Exchange.
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to remove fee codes PA and
NA from footnote 4, NBBO Setter Tiers, is reasonable, fair and
equitable and non-discriminatory, because the proposal coincides with
the addition of new volume tiers and enhanced rebates for transactions
that yield fee code PA. Thus, although Professional orders will no
longer be able to qualify for NBBO Setter Tiers, there are additional
ways to receive enhanced rebates and such rebates have also been
increased. Similar to the pricing tiers discussed above, the Exchange
believes this incentive is reasonably related to the value to the
Exchange's market quality associated with higher levels of market
activity, including liquidity provision and the introduction of higher
volumes of orders into the price and volume discovery processes.
    The proposed modifications to the criteria required to qualify for
current Customer (Penny Pilot) Add Tier 5, Non-Customer (Penny Pilot)
Take Volume Tier 1, and Non-Customer (Non-Penny Pilot) Take Volume Tier
1, are intended to incentivize additional Members to send Customer
orders and/or Market Maker orders to the Exchange in an effort to
qualify for the enhanced rebate or lower fee made available by the
tiers. The Exchange believes that the proposal to require that the
Member have an ADAV in Market Maker orders equal to or greater than
0.25% of average TCV under all three tiers is a reasonable, fair and
equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory allocation of fees and
rebates because it will make it easier to qualify for enhanced rebates
or reduced fees pursuant to such tiers. The

increased liquidity from this proposal also benefits all investors by
deepening the BZX Options liquidity pool, offering additional
flexibility for all investors to enjoy cost savings, supporting the
quality of price discovery, promoting market transparency and improving
investor protection. Such pricing programs thereby reward a Member's
growth pattern on the Exchange and such increased volume increases
potential revenue to the Exchange, and will allow the Exchange to
continue to provide and potentially expand the incentive programs
operated by the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the proposal is
reasonable, equitably allocated and non-discriminatory with respect to
such Member based on the overall benefit to the Exchange resulting from
the success of BZX Options. As noted above, such success allows the
Exchange to continue to provide and potentially expand its existing
incentive programs to the benefit of all participants on the Exchange.
The proposed pricing program is also fair and equitable in that
membership in BZX Options is available to all market participants which
would provide them with access to the benefits on BZX Options provided
by the proposed changes, as described above, even where a member of BZX
Options is not necessarily eligible for the proposed increased rebates
on the Exchange. Further, the proposed changes will result in Members
receiving either the same or an increased rebate than they would
currently receive.

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

    The Exchange believes the proposed amendments to its fee schedule
would not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary,
the Exchange has designed the proposed amendments to its fee schedule
in order to enhance its ability to compete with other exchanges. Also,
the Exchange believes that the addition of volume-tiered rebates by the
Exchange contributes to rather than burdens competition, as such
changes are intended to incentivize participants to increase their
participation on the Exchange. Similarly, the modifications to criteria
applicable to existing volume-tiered rebates and fees are intended to
provide incentives to Members to encourage them to enter orders to the
Exchange, and thus are intended to enhance competition.
    Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor the Exchange's pricing if
they believe that alternatives offer them better value. Accordingly,
the Exchange does not believe that the proposed change will impair the
ability of Members or competing venues to maintain their competitive
standing in the financial markets. Additionally, Members may opt to
disfavor the Exchange's pricing if they believe that alternatives offer
them better value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the
proposed changes to the Exchange's tiered pricing structure burdens
competition, but instead, enhances competition as it is intended to
increase the competitiveness of the Exchange. Also, the Exchange
believes that the price changes contribute to, rather than burden
competition, as such changes are broadly intended to incentivize
participants to increase their participation on the Exchange, which
will increase the liquidity and market quality on the Exchange, which
will then further enhance the Exchange's ability to compete with other
exchanges.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\18\ At any time within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend
such 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.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Refractory Products Manufacturing

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing amendments to the national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing
refractory products manufacturing facilities, which were promulgated on
April 16, 2003, under section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The
proposed amendments would clarify testing and monitoring requirements,
reflect recent changes to the NESHAP General Provisions, clarify
startup and shutdown for batch processes, and make certain technical
corrections to the final rule.
    In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we
are taking direct final action on the proposed amendments because we
view the amendments as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse
comments. We have explained our reasons for the revisions in the
preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments,
we will take no further action on the proposed amendments. If we
receive adverse comment on one or more distinct amendments, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register indicating which
amendments in the direct final rule will become effective and which
amendments are being withdrawn due to adverse comment. If part or all
of the direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register is withdrawn, all comments pertaining to the
amendments will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed amendments. We will not institute a second comment period on
the subsequent final rule. Any

parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before March 15, 2006.
    Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a
public hearing by February 23, 2006, a public hearing will be held
within approximately 30 days following publication of this notice in
the Federal Register.

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by this
action. To determine whether your facility is regulated by this action,
you should examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 63.9782 of the
Refractory Products Manufacturing NESHAP. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
    Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
EDOCKET, regulations.gov, or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk
or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the

public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    Worldwide Web (WWW). In addition to being available in the docket,
an electronic copy of today's proposal will also be available through
the http://WWW. Following the Administrator's signature, a copy of this action

will be posted on EPA's Technology Transfer Network (TTN) policy and
guidance page for newly proposed or promulgated rules at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/.
 The TTN at EPA's Web site provides information

and technology exchange in various areas of air pollution control.
    Direct Final Rule. A direct final rule identical to the proposal is
published in the Rules and Regulations section of today's Federal
Register. If we receive any advers comment pertaining to the amendments
in the proposal, we will publish a timely notice in the Federal
Register informing the public that the amendments are being withdrawn
due to adverse comment. We will address all public comments concerning
the withdrawn amendments in a subsequent final rule. If no relevant
adverse comments are received, no further action will be taken on the
proposal, and the direct final rule will become effective as provided
in the action.
    The regulatory text for the proposal is identical to that for the
direct final rule published in the Rules and Regulations section of
today's Federal Register. For further supplementary information, the
detailed rationale for the proposal and the regulatory revisions, see
the direct final rule published in a separate part of this Federal
Register.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    For a complete discussion of all of the administrative requirements
applicable to this action, see the direct final rule in the Rules and
Regulations section of today's Federal Register.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impact of today's proposed rule on
small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business whose
parent company has fewer than 500 employees, according to Small
Business Administration size standards established under the NAICS for
the industries affected by today's rule; (2) a small governmental
jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school
district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and
(3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise that is
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule
amendments on small entities, I certify that the proposed rule
amendments will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The proposed rule amendments provide
clarification and corrections to the NESHAP for refractory products
manufacturing. This action includes minor corrections and
clarifications to the Refractory Products Manufacturing NESHAP that do
not add any additional requirements.
    Although the direct final rule amendments will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities,
EPA nonetheless has tried to reduce the impact of the direct final rule
amendments on small entities. The EPA has limited the amendments to
changes that clarify ambiguities of the Refractory Products
Manufacturing NESHAP, correct citations to the General Provisions, and
clarify the complex batch testing requirements of the Refractory
Products Manufacturing NESHAP. The EPA believes that the amendments
will simplify the NESHAP and will not add additional burden to
regulated entities. We continue to be interested in the potential
impacts of the proposed rule on small entities and welcome comments on
issues related to such impacts.

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by August
17, 2017.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer,
FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>All
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0053.
Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonnalynn Capezutto, Office of
Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North,
10A63, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Radioactive Drug Research Committees

OMB Control Number 0910-0053--Extension

    Under sections 201, 505, and 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 355, and 371), FDA has the authority to
issue regulations governing the use of radioactive drugs for basic
scientific research. Section 361.1 (21 CFR 361.1) sets forth specific
regulations regarding the establishment and composition of Radioactive
Drug Research Committees (RDRCs) and their role in approving and
monitoring basic research studies utilizing radiopharmaceuticals. No
basic research study involving any administration of a radioactive drug
to research subjects is permitted without the authorization of an FDA-
approved RDRC (Sec.  361.1(d)(7)). The type of research that may be
undertaken with a radiopharmaceutical drug must be intended to obtain
basic information and not to carry out a clinical trial for safety or
efficacy. The types of basic research permitted are specified in the
regulation, and include studies of metabolism, human physiology,
pathophysiology, or biochemistry.
    Section 361.1(c)(2) requires that each RDRC shall select a
chairman, who shall sign all applications, minutes, and reports of the
committee. Each committee shall meet at least once each quarter in
which research activity has been authorized or conducted. Minutes shall
be kept and shall include the numerical results of votes on protocols
involving use in human subjects. Under Sec.  361.1(c)(3), each RDRC
shall submit an annual report to FDA. The annual report shall include
the names and qualifications of the members of, and of any consultants
used by, the RDRC, using Form FDA 2914, and a summary of each study
conducted during the preceding year, using Form FDA 2915.
    Under Sec.  361.1(d)(5), each investigator shall obtain the proper
consent required under the regulations. Each female research subject of
childbearing potential must state in writing that she is not pregnant,
or on the basis of a pregnancy test be confirmed as not pregnant.
    Under Sec.  361.1(d)(8), the investigator shall immediately report
to the RDRC all adverse effects associated with use of the drug, and
the committee shall then report to FDA all adverse reactions probably
attributed to the use of the radioactive drug.
    Section 361.1(f) sets forth labeling requirements for radioactive
drugs.

These requirements are not in the reporting burden estimate because
they are information supplied by the Federal Government to the
recipient for the purposes of disclosure to the public (5 CFR
1320.3(c)(2)).
    Types of research studies not permitted under this regulation are
also specified, and include those intended for immediate therapeutic,
diagnostic, or similar purposes or to determine the safety or
effectiveness of the drug in humans for such purposes (i.e., to carry
out a clinical trial for safety or efficacy). These studies require
filing of an investigational new drug application under 21 CFR part
312, and the associated information collections are covered in OMB
control number 0910-0014.
    The primary purpose of this collection of information is to
determine whether the research studies are being conducted in
accordance with required regulations and that human subject safety is
assured. If these studies were not reviewed, human subjects could be
subjected to inappropriate radiation or pharmacologic risks.
Respondents to this information collection are the chairperson(s) of
each individual RDRC, investigators, and participants in the studies.
The burden estimates are based on FDA's experience with these reporting
and recordkeeping requirements and the number of submissions received
by FDA under the regulations over the past 3 years.
    In the Federal Register of April 25, 2017 (82 FR 19052), we
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
extension of this collection of information. No comments were received.
    We therefore estimate the burden of this collection of information
as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2000-7363; FMCSA-2002-13411]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Renewals; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously announced its decision to renew the
exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations for 11 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to
exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions
granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that
granting these exemptions will provide a level of safety that will be
equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained without
the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Mary D. Gunnels, Director, Medical
Programs,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA, Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W64-224, Washington,
DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Access

    You may see all the comments online through the Federal Document
Management System (FDMS) at http://www.regulations.gov.

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The comment
period ended on March 12, 2009.

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

Conclusion

    The Agency has not received any adverse evidence on any of these
drivers that indicates that safety is being compromised. Based upon its
evaluation of the 11 renewal applications, FMCSA renews the Federal
vision exemptions for Howard K. Bradley, Kirk G. Braegger, Ambrosio E.
Calles, Jose G. Cruz, Harry P. Henning, Christopher L. Humphries, Ralph
J. Miles, Thomas C. Rylee, Stanley B. Salkowski, III, Michael G.
Thomas, and William H. Twardus.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each renewal
exemption will be valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if: (1) The person fails to comply with
the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was
granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.

    Issued on: March 27, 2009.

Associate Administrator for Policy and Program Development.

Adequacy Status of the Kenosha and Sheboygan Counties, Wisconsin
Area Submitted 8-Hour Ozone Early Progress Plans for Transportation
Conformity Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
notifying the public that we have found that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets (MVEBs) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in the Kenosha and Sheboygan,
Wisconsin 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas are adequate for use in
transportation conformity determinations. Wisconsin submitted Early
Progress Plans for Kenosha and Sheboygan Counties on January 16, 2015.
As a result of our finding, these areas must use these MVEBs for future
transportation conformity determinations.

DATES: This finding is effective April 16, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Leslie, Environmental
Engineer, Control Strategies Section (AR-18J), Air Programs Branch, Air
and Radiation Division, United States Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312)
353-6680<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we'',
``us'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

Background

    Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have
already made. On March 13, 2015, EPA sent a letter to the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources stating that the 2015 MVEBs contained
in the Early Progress Plans for Kenosha and Sheboygan Counties in
Wisconsin are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. Receipt
of these MVEBs was announced on EPA's transportation conformity Web
site, and no comments were submitted. The finding is available at EPA's
conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm.
    The 2015 MVEBs, in tons per day (tpd), for VOCs and NOX
for Kenosha and Sheboygan, Wisconsin areas are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             2015 VOCs
                  Area                    2015 NOX (tpd)       (tpd)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenosha County..........................           4.379           1.994
Sheboygan County........................           4.435           1.972
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the
Clean Air Act. EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation
plans, programs, and projects conform to state air quality
implementation plans and establishes the criteria and procedures for
determining whether or not they do conform. Conformity to a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) means that transportation activities will not
produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or
delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.
    The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP's MVEBs are
adequate for transportation conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR
93.118(e)(4). Please note that an adequacy review is separate from
EPA's completeness review, and it also should not be used to prejudge
EPA's ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if we find a budget adequate,
the SIP could later be disapproved.
