DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31047; Amdt. No. 3670]

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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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

DATES: This rule is effective December 7, 2015. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the

regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of
December 7, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Procedures
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,

City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK. 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on the
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument
Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific
conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in
this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to
published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

 Page 1 of 9 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C. 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES November 23, 2004 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Evaluation of the Potential Exposure of Workers to Propanil During Mixing/ Loading and Aerial Application to Rice Fields Using Simultaneous Dermal Dosimetry and Biological Monitoring Techniques, MRID No. 46147801 and 46075501, DP Bar Code: D310487 FROM: Alan Nielsen, Branch Senior Scientist Reregistration Branch II Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

TO: Carmen Rodia, Chemical Review Manager Reregistration Branch II Special Review and Reregistration Division ( 7508W)

The following is HED's response to the document submitted by the Propanil Task Force II which responded to HED's review of the " Evaluation of the Potential Exposure of Workers to Propanil During Mixing/ Loading and Aerial Application to Rice Fields Using Simultaneous Dermal Dosimetry and Biological Monitoring Techniques" and the " Propanil Exposures and Risk Assessment Based on Data From an Aerial Application Study in Rice with Liquid Formulations."

The Propanil Task Force II ( PTF II) responded to the review by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (" EPA" or " Agency") of the final reports from the " Evaluation of the Potential Exposure of Workers to Propanil During Mixing/ Loading and Aerial Application to Rice Fields Using Simultaneous Dermal Dosimetry and Biological Monitoring Techniques" and the " Propanil Exposures and Risk Assessment Based on Data From an Aerial Application Study in Rice with Liquid Formulations." This document is the response to the latest PTF II document. Page 2 of 9 1. PTF II states: A quantitative risk assessment based on the urine data from workers is not reliable or appropriate . . . Available data are not sufficient to quantify propanil exposure to humans based on urine levels of 3,4 DCA. Human pharmacokinetics data are necessary to provide a valid approach for quantification. [ M] ost of the workers handled propanil on the days prior to the study application day, the days following the study application or in some cases both time periods. These exposures, coupled with the lack of human pharmacokinetic data, make it impossible to validly use the urine DCA concentrations seen in the worker study for assessing the risk of propanil to workers.

HED response: The burden is on the registrant to determine the suitability of biomarkers and the appropriate pharmacokinetics. HED concurs that accurate documentation of propanil exposures to the handlers on the days prior to the study application day, the days following the study application or in some cases both time periods   in addition to the lack of precise pharmacokinetic data   make the use of the biomonitoring data problematic.

2. PTF II states: The objective of the Task Force study was to measure potential exposure to mixer/ loaders and pilots from propanil that was mixed/ loaded and applied in a realistic and routine fashion. Achieving this objective allows exposure assessments to be performed in a way that determines an accurate risk to mixer/ loaders and pilots handling propanil.

HED response: The PTF II submitted to EPA a proposed protocol for conducting the handler monitoring study and EPA approved the protocol. However, when the actual study was conducted, there were thirteen amendments and forty deviations to the study protocol. This contributed to the Agency's difficulty in determining whether the study was performed in a manner that would allow an accurate risk to be estimated for mixers/ loaders and pilots handling propanil.

3. PTF II states: Propanil is most commonly applied at 3 to 4 lbs ai/ Acre when grasses are actively growing in the 3 4 leaf stage approximately 15 25 days after planting. Higher rates of propanil at 4 6 lbs ai/ Acre are sometimes used when grasses are in the 4 6 leaf stage about 20 30 days after planting or for emergency or " rescue" operations for older tillering grasses about 30 40 days from planting.

HED response: The protocol submitted by the PTF II and approved by EPA stated that the maximum labeled rate of 6 pounds active ingredient per acre would be applied. HED is concerned that the lower application rate factor would be expected to result in less residue being deposited on the outer dosimeter, thus likely underestimating exposure and risk. Page 3 of 9 4. PTF II states: The loading of propanil products into a spray tank of an airplane occurs in two stages. Propanil is removed from the product drum using a siphoning device commonly called a " STAM" pipe. This is similar methodology to that represented by the data in PHED. Propanil is mixed with other products and water in the mix tank and the mixture is transferred to the airplane spray tank via a dry lock connector that attaches to the airplane tank from the mix tank.

HED response: HED concurs that the mixing/ loading methodology described by the PTF II is similar to the methodology represented in PHED for mixing/ loading liquid formulations using closed systems.

5. PTF II states: [ U] nder realistic conditions, it is not unusual for pilots to only apply propanil and mixer/ loaders will only load propanil for an average of about 2 hours per day.

HED response: The protocol submitted by the PTF II and approved by EPA stated that " all workers will perform their work tasks for a typical amount of time that represents an entire workday. One replicate will be an entire workday for each test subject. . . . The air sampling pump will operate for the entire monitoring replicate ( estimated to be 6 12 hours)." However, the average duration of actual handling for each replicate in the study was only 2.2 hours for mixers/ loaders and only 1.7 hours for pilots. HED is concerned that the reduced handling time would be expected to result in less time for the residue to penetrate the outer dosimeter, thus likely underestimating exposure and risk..

6. PTF II states: Early season application of propanil was chosen in order to meet the protocol requirement of finding mixer/ loaders and pilots who did not have previous exposure to propanil in 2003.

HED response: See # 4 for HED comments regarding use of maximum application rate. HED also notes the study did not meet the protocol requirement of finding mixer/ loaders and pilots who did not have previous exposure to propanil in 2003 ( see # 2).

7. PTF II states: Field scientists waited for propanil orders from growers and for wind conditions to be favorable before performing each replicate of the study.

HED response: HED has no concerns with this approach. Page 4 of 9 8. PTF II states: The " outer dosimeter" worn by mixer/ loaders and pilots was a 100% cotton long sleeve shirt and 100% cotton long pants.

HED response: HED agrees that the " outer dosimeter" was a cotton long sleeve shirt and 100% cotton long pants, and not a cotton coverall.

9. PTF II states: The Task Force proposes an alternative method to calculate the potential dermal exposure to the mixer/ loaders wearing the chemical resistant apron. The proposed method to recalculate the dermal exposure to propanil mixer/ loaders uses a penetration factor of 10%. Average penetration factors ranging from 2 27% percent have been observed in studies since 1981 ( References 1 4). Thus, a reasonable average penetration factor to use for subsequent calculations would be 10% for the upper and lower arms as well as the back of the legs of the mixer/ loader.

HED response: The standard operating procedure in HED is to use a penetration factor of 50% when estimating the reduction in exposure provided by an additional layer of protections. HED routinely applies this 50% penetration factor to PHED data to estimate the additional protection offered by wearing coveralls over a long sleeve shirt and long pants. HED notes that the Guidance Manual for Selecting Protective Clothing for Agricultural Pesticide Operations ( EPA publication number 736 B 94 001) that summarizes literature on personal protective equipment, including body protection states: " The amount of penetration was not linear with applied volume, rather the percent penetration increased with the amount applied. A fabric that provided relatively high penetration resistance at one volume did not necessarily provide a relatively high resistance at a different volume. There seems to be an absorbency capacity threshold beyond which the penetration resistance of some fabrics drops off dramatically. This behavior must be borne in mind when reviewing penetration data in which different volumes are applied. The capacity threshold may account for apparent discrepancies in data reported from different researchers ( p. 70)."

10. PTF II states: This 10% penetration factor is a conservative estimate of penetration since the front top of the thighs down to the ankle of the mixer/ loader were covered by the chemical resistant apron worn by the mixer/ loader test subjects in this study. This covered area of the body would result in much less than 10% penetration through the front thigh and calf areas of the legs.

HED response: Even though the apron worn in the study apparently covered the mixer/ loader down to his/ her ankles, the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides ( 40 CFR Part 170) defines a chemical resistant apron as " an apron that is made Page 5 of 9 of chemical resistant material and that covers the front of the body from mid chest to the knees." Therefore, HED cannot assume that a mixer/ loader would be completely covered in the front down to the ankles. Furthermore, the measured residues on the lower leg were likely reduced since the mixers/ loaders wore " full rubber boots" in the study.

11. PTF II states: The Task Force's proposed method of calculation of exposure to the mixer/ loaders in this study is as follows:

a. The residues of propanil on the legs and arms of the outer dosimeter long sleeved cotton shirt and long cotton pants are summed. The sum is then multiplied by 0.1 to achieve the residue amounts given a 10% penetration factor for the cotton garments.

b. The corrected residue on the arms and legs of the mixer/ loader are then added to the residues of propanil on the t shirt and brief as well as to the residues in the handwash. This sum is then added to the head, face and neck residues derived from the head patch data to provide a total dermal body exposure for the worker.

HED response: HED concurs with the Propanil Task Force II's proposed method of calculation of exposure to mixers/ loaders, except HED applied a 0.5 ( i. e., 50%) factor to the summed residues on the legs and arms of the outer dosimeter.

12. PTF II states: Only workers wearing chemical resistant aprons are considered when using this alternative method of calculating exposure. The four workers wearing the Tyvek coverall were excluded from the data set since the Tyvek coverall would produce in theory an artificially low residue on the outer dosimeter shirt and pants, rendering the arms and leg data from the shirt and pants outer dosimeter useless.

HED response: HED concurs in excluding the four mixers/ loaders wearing Tyvek coveralls over the outer dosimeter from the calculations of dermal exposure. However, HED included the measured inhalation exposures of those four handlers, since the Tyvek coverall should have no effect on the inhalation exposures.

13. PTF II states: When total dermal and inhalation exposures are normalized against pounds handled the resultant geometric means are: 1.30 ug/ lb ai for dermal and 0.0065 ug/ lb ai for inhalation. Page 6 of 9 HED response: Using the same dermal and inhalation exposure values presented in the table in the PTF II response, HED calculates a dermal exposure ( geometric mean) of 1.2 : g per pound active ingredient handled and an inhalation exposure ( geometric mean) of 0.0054 : g per pound active ingredient handled.

14. PTF II states: Exposure and risk for mixer/ loaders was recalculated based on the proposed method using a default penetration factor rather than a calculated one and only those workers who did not wear Tyvek. MOEs are acceptable for mixer/ loaders who load for as many as 1200 acres a day.

HED response: HED also calculated exposures and risks to mixers/ loaders using the same methodology as the Propanil Task Force II, but using a dermal penetration value of 50%, rather than 10%, and also using slightly different data. The dermal data differed between HED and the PTF II in several ways:

° HED included mixer/ loader replicate 21 in the calculations, but PTF II did not,

° the Head Patch data differed because HED adjusted for a field recovery of 73% versus the 83% field recovery adjustment used by the PTF II, and ° for replicate 27, HED used 576 pounds active ingredient handled per day as listed in the study ( page 69), however PTF II used 1676 pounds active ingredient handled per day.

The inhalation data differed between HED and the PTF II, since HED used all the inhalation exposure values for the mixers/ loaders ( including those wearing Tyvek suits), whereas the PTF II used the inhalation exposure values for the mixers/ loaders who were not wearing Tyvek suits.

Using HED's calculations and normalizing exposure by pounds active ingredient handled, the unit exposure value for dermal is 2.89 : g/ lb ai handled and for inhalation is 0.0061 : g/ lb ai handled.

HED used the propanil specific unit exposure values from the PTF II study to estimate exposure and risks to mixers/ loaders supporting aerial applications to rice ( see Table 1). At the 6 lb ai/ A application rate, the risks exceeded HED's level of concern ( i. e., the MOEs were less than 300) when treating 1200 and 3200 acres per day. Risks were below HED's level of concern ( i. e., the MOEs were greater than 300) when treating 500 and 350 acres per day. At the 3 lb ai/ A application rate, the risks exceeded HED's level of concern ( i. e., the MOEs were less than 300) when treating 3200 acres per day. Risks at the 3 lb ai/ A rate were below HED's level of concern ( i. e., the MOEs were greater than 300) when treating 1200, 500, and 350 acres per day. Page 7 of 9 15. PTF II states: The workers monitored in this study did work appropriate times and handled appropriate amounts of material. Recreating Scenarios 6 [ closed mixing/ loading liquid formulations] and 7 [ applying sprays with enclosed cockpits] from the " PHED SURROGATE EXPOSURE GUIDE" ( August, 1998) allows one to look at the amounts of material handled for both the mixer/ loader and the pilot as well as the acres treated by the pilot. As can be seen from the . . . data, the Geometric Mean, Average, Median and Minimum Pounds Handled for the propanil study all exceed those same values for the data in PHED.

HED response: HED believes it is irrelevant that the mixer/ loader replicates for closed mixing/ loading of liquid formulations in PHED involved handling of less active ingredient than in the propanil specific study. The maximum number of pounds active ingredient applied to an acre varies widely among pesticide active ingredients and, as long as the studies in PHED reflect the maximum label application rate for that active ingredient, the results would appropriately reflect mixer/ loader exposure. HED's position is that the PTF II propanil study could underestimate exposure to propanil due to the relatively short exposure times and the use of a maximum application rate that averaged slightly less than half of the maximum labeled application rate.

16. PTF II states: Further, the hours worked [ in the PTF II propanil specific study] is consistent with PHED and likewise supports that the propanil data from the Study are superior to PHED with its pounds handled.

HED response: HED notes that the mixer/ loader ( without Tyvek) hours worked in the PFT II study are significantly lower than mixer/ loader hours worked in PHED. Using the geometric mean, the study hours represent only approximately 3/ 4 of the PHED hours and using the average, the study hours represent only approximately 2/ 3 of the PHED hours. Furthermore, HED notes that the acres treated in the PTF II study is consistently lower using the geometric mean, average, and median acres treated. Furthermore, PHED is a database made up of replicates of individual workcycles across studies and is not intended to represent the duration of a typical workday. The PTF II propanil specific study protocol specified that the study would represent a typical work day.

17. PTF II states: Data from the National Agricultural Aviation Association's survey in 2004 show that the average flying time for airplanes in aerial application scenarios on a given day is 3 4 hours. In the present study, mixing loading times ranged from 0.37 to 5.3 hours ( median = 2.33 hours) and application times ranged from 0.68 to 3.82 hours ( median = 1.59 hours). These mixer/ loader and pilot replicate times are not extremely Page 8 of 9 different from the data gathered by the National Agricultural Aviation Association in a survey performed in 2004 with aerial applicators throughout the US ( Reference 5). It is concluded that the times that workers handled propanil during this study were realistic and routine.

HED response: HED notes that in the PTF II study, the mixer/ loader times and the application times were both significantly less than the average flying time for aerial applications found in the NAAA survey. HED further notes that the PTF II study, which is supposed to represent realistic and routine exposure times for aerial applications to rice, resulted in application to a maximum of 480 acres per day.

18. PTF II states: The worker exposure study with propanil involving passive dosimetry was conducted according to typical current use practices followed in the rice industry. The amounts of product mixed and applied and the exposure times for mixer/ loaders and pilots were typical of propanil uses and more representative of propanil uses than the data currently in PHED for the liquid mixer/ loader and aerial applicator scenarios. There were no special considerations made regarding either the clothing or PPE worn by mixer/ loaders or pilots and the procedures for mixing and transferal of propanil to and from mixing tanks and to airplanes were consistent with industry standards. Because of the consistency in rice industry procedures and practices, the dosimetry data are considered valid measures of worker exposure.

HED response: HED's long standing policy is that chemical specific data can be used instead of PHED data, provided that the chemical specific data are equal to or higher quality than the PHED data. HED has many concerns with the PTF II study, including the use of the typical application rate, rather than maximum and the relatively short exposure times. In addition, OPPTS Series 875, Occupational and Residential Exposure Test Guidelines, Group A: 875.1200 ( dermal exposure indoor handler), and 875.1400 ( inhalation exposure indoor handler) clearly require a minimum of 15 replicates for each exposure scenario. The PTF II is proposing to eliminate 4 mixer/ loader replicates ( due to wearing Tyvek suits over the " outer" dosimeter) and another replicate was eliminated ( because the handler mixed/ loaded and applied). That leaves only 10 replicates for the mixer/ loader exposure scenario. PHED scenario 6 ( closed system mixing/ loading using liquid formulations) has 16 to 22 replicates for the dermal ( non hands) data, 31 replicates for the hands data, and 27 replicates for the inhalation data. This PHED scenario is rated as High Confidence. The PTF II study would be rated as low confidence for the dermal data due to the lack of replicates. Page 9 of 9 Table 1.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-66356; File No. SR-BX-2012-007]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposal To Permit Customer Cross
Orders on BOX

February 8, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\, and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on January 26, 2012, NASDAQ OMX BX (the ``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange
has designated the proposed rule change as constituting a non-
controversial rule change under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act,\3\
which renders the proposal 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Chapter V, Section 14(c) (Doing
Business on BOX-Order Entry) and Supplementary Material .01 to Chapter
V, Section 17 (Customer Orders), of the Rules of the Boston Options
Exchange Group, LLC (``BOX'') to permit Customer Cross Orders.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.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 the
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Chapter V, Section 14(c) of the BOX Rules designates the order
types that may be submitted to the Trading Host. The purpose of this
proposal is to amend the definition of Order Entry to include Customer
Cross Orders. In particular, the Exchange proposes to add the
definition of a Customer Cross Order as new Section 14(c)(vii),
specifying that a Customer Cross Order is comprised of a non-
Professional, Public Customer Order to buy and a non-Professional,
Public Customer Order to sell at the same price and for the same
quantity. The Exchange also proposes to specify that Customer Cross
Orders be automatically executed upon entry provided that the execution
is between the best bid and offer on BOX (``BBO'') and will not trade-
through the national best bid or offer (``NBBO'').
    The proposed rule also specifies that Customer Cross Orders entered
at a price that is outside the BBO or the NBBO will be automatically
canceled, and that Customer Cross Orders may only be entered in the
regular trading increments applicable to the options class under
Chapter V, Section 6 of the BOX Rules.
    Finally, the proposal specifies that Supplementary Material .01 to
Chapter V, Section 17 of the BOX Rules, which prohibits an Options
Participant from being a party to any arrangement designed to
circumvent the requirements applicable to executing agency orders as
principal, applies to the entry and execution of Customer Cross Orders.
In this respect, the Exchange proposes to amend Supplementary Material
.01 to Chapter V, Section 17 to specifically reference affiliates of
Options Participants, which is consistent with how BOX has interpreted
the provision.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\4\ in general, and
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in particular. Specifically, the
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to facilitate transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism for a
free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. In particular, the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change provides for the efficient entry
and execution of Customer Cross Orders while also protecting orders at
the best prices on the BOX Book.

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

    The Exchange notes that a similar filing proposed by the
International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'') became effective July
7, 2009.\6\ The Exchange would like to similarly offer BOX Options
Participants the opportunities associated with Customer

Cross Orders. BOX believes that this proposed rule change, which is
essential for competitive purposes and to promote a free and open
market for the benefit of investors, does not raise any new, unique or
substantive issues from those raised in the effective ISE filing.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition 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 either solicited or received.

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

    This proposed rule change is filed pursuant to paragraph (A) of
section 19(b)(3) of the Exchange Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\8\ This proposed rule change does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest, does not impose any
significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest.\9\

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \9\ As required under Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange
provided the Commission with written notice of its intent to file
the proposed rule change along with a brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A similar filing proposed by the International Securities Exchange,
LLC (``ISE'') became effective July 7, 2009.\10\ The Exchange would
like to similarly offer BOX Options Participants the opportunities
associated with Customer Cross Orders. BOX believes that this proposed
rule change, which is essential for competitive purposes and to promote
a free and open market for the benefit of investors, does not raise any
new, unique or substantive issues from those raised in the effective
ISE filing.

and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Regarding
Customer Cross Orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2002-0043; FRL-8151-4]

Pesticide Tolerance Nomenclature Changes; Technical Amendments;
Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of September
18, 2007 promulgating nomenclature changes for several hundred
pesticide tolerances. This document is being issued to remove from the
nomenclature changes several items that had been changed previously.

DATES: This final rule is effective November 2, 2007.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2002-0043. To access the
electronic docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, select ``Advanced

Search,'' then ``Docket Search.'' Insert the docket ID number where
indicated and select the ``Submit'' button. Follow the instructions on
the regulations.gov web site to view the docket index or access
available documents. All documents in the docket are listed in the

Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    The Agency included in the final rule a list of those who may be
potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the
person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Access Electronic Copies of this Document and Other
Related Information?

    In addition to using regulations.gov, you may access this Federal
Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the
``Federal Register'' listings at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr.

II. What Does this Correction Do?

    EPA is correcting the nomenclature document issued in the Federal
Register on September 18, 2007 (72 FR 53134) (FRL-8126-5). Subsequent
to publication of the September 18, 2007 Federal Register document, EPA
learned that in the table of some 600 entries, several of the
nomenclature changes had been included in a tolerance regulation that
was issued in the Federal Register of September 12, 2007, (72 FR
52013), thus making inclusion of those entries unnecessary and
confusing. Therefore, EPA is removing the duplicate nomenclature
changes that appeared in the September 12, 2007 Federal Register
tolerance rule from the September 18, 2007 tolerance nomenclature
document.

III. Why is this Correction Issued as a Final Rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making today's technical
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because this document is merely removing commodity entries that have
already been updated. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to this
Action?

    EPA included the required statutory discussion in the September 18,
2007 nomenclature rule.

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 180

Agricultural commodities, Pesticides and pests, Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2019-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1910]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. 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). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before June 17, 2019.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1910, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
