SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-90841; File No. SR-ICC-2020-014]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice of
Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the ICC Clearing Participant
Default Management Procedures

January 4, 2021.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that on
December 22, 2020, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission the proposed rule change as
described in Items I, II and III below, which Items have been prepared
primarily by ICC. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The principal purpose of the proposed rule change is to revise the
ICC Clearing Participant (``CP'') Default Management Procedures
(``Default Management Procedures''). These revisions do not require any
changes to the ICC Clearing Rules (the ``Rules'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings specified in the
    Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change,
security-based swap submission, or advance notice and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed rule change, security-based swap
submission, or advance notice. The text of these statements may be
examined at the places specified in Item IV below. ICC has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most
significant aspects of these statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

(a) Purpose
    ICC proposes to revise the Default Management Procedures, which set
forth ICC's default management process, including the actions taken by
ICC to determine that a CP is in default as well as the actions taken
by ICC in connection with such default to close-out the defaulter's
portfolio. These revisions do not require any changes to ICC's existing
default management rules or any other procedures as they are limited to
clarification changes that formalize the process for convening the CDS
Default Committee remotely and minor updates regarding notifications
sent as part of the default management process. ICC believes such
revisions will facilitate the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions and derivative agreements,
contracts, and transactions for which it is responsible. ICC proposes
to make such changes effective following Commission approval of the
proposed rule change. The proposed revisions are described in detail as
follows.
    ICC proposes revisions to Subsection 4.4 (Secure Trading Facility)
related to convening the ICC CDS Default Committee, which consists of
trading personnel seconded from CPs to assist with default management.
The proposed changes specify that ICC may convene its CDS Default
Committee in a private room at its offices (``Secure Trading
Facility'') or remotely by teleconference (``Remote Trader
Consultation'') in the event the committee is unable to meet in person.
The decision of whether to convene in person or remotely would be made
by the ICC Chief Risk Officer (``CRO'') and would depend on the
circumstances at the time of the declaration of the default.
    ICC also proposes updates to Section 6 (Default Declaration). The
proposed changes to Subsection 6.1.5 (CCO Pre-Declaration Initiated
Actions) allow the ICC Chief Compliance Officer (``CCO'') to inform the
Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'') by
telephone or email of a potential default and further direct the CCO to
inform other regulators of the potential default as may be required.
Amended Subsection 6.4 (Default Declaration Notification) similarly
directs the CCO to notify other regulators (in addition to the
Commission and the CFTC) of a default if applicable and includes a
minor edit to replace ``all'' with ``above'' in the phrase ``CCO
confirming all notifications.'' The proposed updates to Subsection
6.5.3 (CRO Post-Declaration Preparation) relate to the CRO's actions to
convene the CDS Default Committee following a declaration of default,
including the CRO's determination of whether this committee meets in
person or remotely, and distinguish certain actions that would be taken
for an in-person CDS Default Committee meeting.

The proposed revisions to Subsection 6.5.4 (CCO Post-Declaration
Actions) make minor clarifications in respect of the notice that the
CCO provides to the compliance personnel of a CDS Default Committee
member following a declaration of a default.
    ICC further proposes changes to Section 7 (CDS Default Committee
Consultation). The proposed changes reference ICC's ability to convene
the CDS Default Committee remotely. Amended Subsection 7.1 (Convening a
CDS Default Committee Meeting) formalizes the process for convening a
CDS Default Committee remotely by teleconference, including how notice
is provided to CDS Default Committee members and what is included in
the notice. The changes also distinguish what actions would be taken in
connection with convening the CDS Default Committee at the Secure
Trading Facility, by Remote Trader Consultation, or by either means.
Amended Subsection 7.3 (Initial CDS Default Committee Meeting)
specifies that certain actions are conducted where technologically
practicable during the initial CDS Default Committee meeting and
includes minor grammatical updates, including adding a parenthetical
and updating the sentence structure for clarity.
(b) Statutory Basis
    ICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act \4\ and the regulations
thereunder applicable to it, including the applicable standards under
Rule 17Ad-22.\5\ In particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \6\
requires that the rule change be consistent with the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and
derivative agreements, contracts and transactions cleared by ICC, the
safeguarding of securities and funds in the custody or control of ICC
or for which it is responsible, and the protection of investors and the
public interest. ICC believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to ICC, in particular, to Section
17(A)(b)(3)(F),\7\ because the proposed rule change enhances ICC's
ability to manage the risk of a default by formalizing the process for
convening the CDS Default Committee remotely and including minor
updates regarding notifications sent as part of the default management
process. The clarification and clean-up changes ensure that the
documentation of ICC's Default Management Procedures remains up-to-
date, transparent, and focused on clearly articulating the policies and
procedures used to support ICC's default management process such that
ICC can take timely action in case of a default. ICC believes that such
changes augment ICC's procedures relating to default management and
enhance ICC's ability to withstand defaults and continue providing
clearing services, thereby promoting the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of securities transactions, derivatives agreements,
contracts, and transactions; the safeguarding of securities and funds
which are in the custody or control of ICC or for which it is
responsible; and the protection of investors and the public interest.
As such, the proposed rule change is designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions,
derivatives agreements, contracts, and transactions; to contribute to
the safeguarding of securities and funds associated with security-based
swap transactions in ICC's custody or control, or for which ICC is
responsible; and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\8\

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \7\ Id.
    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The amendments would also satisfy relevant requirements of Rule
17Ad-22.\9\ Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v) \10\ requires each covered
clearing agency to establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written
policies and procedures reasonably designed to provide for governance
arrangements that are clear and transparent and specify clear and
direct lines of responsibility. The Default Management Procedures
clearly assign and document responsibility and accountability for
default management actions and decisions. The proposed changes specify
that the CRO is responsible for determining whether to convene the CDS
Default Committee in person or remotely by teleconference. Moreover,
the proposed revisions continue to allow for feedback from, and
notification to, relevant stakeholders, such as the CDS Default
Committee, CPs, and regulators. These governance arrangements are clear
and transparent, such that information relating to the assignment of
responsibilities and the requisite involvement of relevant committees
and ICC personnel is clearly documented. In ICC's view, the proposed
rule change continues to ensure that ICC maintains policies and
procedures that are reasonably designed to provide for clear and
transparent governance arrangements and specify clear and direct lines
of responsibility, consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22.
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v).
    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(4)(ii) \12\ requires each covered clearing agency
to establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to effectively identify, measure,
monitor, and manage its credit exposures to participants and those
arising from its payment, clearing, and settlement processes, including
by maintaining additional financial resources at the minimum to enable
it to cover a wide range of foreseeable stress scenarios that include,
but are not limited to, the default of the two participant families
that would potentially cause the largest aggregate credit exposure for
the covered clearing agency in extreme but plausible market conditions.
The proposed changes set out procedures for convening the CDS Default
Committee remotely, which enhances ICC's ability to manage a default if
circumstances prevent the CDS Default Committee from meeting in person.
The proposed changes further enhance ICC's procedures for managing a
default by ensuring that relevant individuals are notified, including
through additional details on how individuals are notified and what is
included in the notice, and can take timely action during the default
management process. As such, the proposed amendments would strengthen
ICC's ability to maintain its financial resources and withstand the
pressures of defaults, consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-
22(e)(4)(ii).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(4)(ii).
    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(13) \14\ requires each covered clearing agency to
establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to ensure it has the authority and
operational capacity to take timely action to contain losses and
liquidity demands and continue to meet its obligations by, at a
minimum, requiring its participants and, when practicable, other
stakeholders to participate in the testing and review of its default
procedures, including any close-out procedures, at least annually and
following material changes thereto. The proposed changes continue to
ensure that ICC can take timely action to contain losses and liquidity
demands

and continue meeting its obligations in the event of a default,
including by formalizing and detailing procedures for convening the CDS
Default Committee remotely, which promotes ICC's ability to efficiently
and safely manage its close-out process where the CDS Default Committee
cannot meet in person, thereby enhancing ICC's ability to withstand
defaults and continue providing clearing services. Additionally, ICC
believes that the notification related updates and clean-up changes
further enhance ICC's default management process by ensuring that
relevant stakeholders receive necessary information and that the
Default Management Procedures remain up-to-date, clear, and transparent
to ensure that ICC can take timely action to contain losses and
liquidity demands and continue meeting its obligations in the event of
a default. Therefore, ICC believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of Rule 17ad-22(e)(13).\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(13).
    \15\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICC does not believe the proposed rule change would have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The proposed changes to
the Default Management Procedures will apply uniformly across all
market participants. Therefore, ICC does not believe the amendments
would impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received. ICC will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by ICC.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2017-0642; FRL-9980-50--Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; AL; Section 128 Board Requirements for
Infrastructure SIPs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission,
submitted by the State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management (ADEM), on October 24, 2017, and a portion of
a December 9, 2015, infrastructure SIP submission. The October 24, 2017
submission addresses the general Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) conflict of
interest

requirements applicable to Alabama state boards or agency personnel
with respect to the approval of permits or enforcement orders. This
submission also specifically addresses requirements for implementation
of the following national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS): 1997,
2006, and 2012 Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5), 2008 8-hour
Ozone, 2008 Lead, 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and 2010
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). The CAA requires that each state adopt
and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of
each NAAQS promulgated by EPA. Whenever EPA promulgates a new or
revised NAAQS, the CAA requires the state to make a new SIP submission
establishing that the existing SIP meets the various applicable
requirements, or revising the SIP to meet those requirements. This type
of SIP submission is commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure'' SIP.
In this action, EPA is approving the October 24, 2017, submission with
respect to: The CAA conflict of interest requirements; and the related
conflict of interest infrastructure SIP requirements for the 1997,
2006, and 2012 PM2.5, 2008 8-hour Ozone, 2008 Lead, 2010
NO2, and 2010 SO2 NAAQS. In addition, EPA is
approving a portion of ADEM's December 9, 2015, infrastructure SIP
submission (as supplemented by the October 24, 2017 submission) related
to the conflict of interest requirements for the 2012 PM2.5
NAAQS. This action removes EPA's obligation to promulgate a Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP) to address these CAA state board requirements
for Alabama.

DATES: This rule will be effective August 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2017-0642. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    States must submit infrastructure SIP submissions meeting the
applicable requirements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA within
three years after EPA's promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS.
Sections 110(a)(1) and (2) require states to address basic SIP
requirements, including emissions inventories, monitoring, and modeling
to assure attainment and maintenance of the new or revised NAAQS. More
specifically, section 110(a)(1) provides the procedural and timing
requirements for infrastructure SIP submissions. Section 110(a)(2)
lists specific requirements that states must meet for
``infrastructure'' SIP purposes, as applicable, related to the newly
established or revised NAAQS. In particular, section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii)
requires states to include provisions in their SIP to address the state
board requirements of section 128.
    EPA is finalizing its proposed approval of Alabama's December 9,
2015 and October 24, 2017,\1\ submissions to incorporate into its SIP
certain regulatory provisions to address the state board requirements
of section 128. As a result of the addition of these new SIP provisions
to meet the requirements of section 128, EPA is also finalizing
approval of these submissions as satisfying the section
110(a)(2)(E)(ii) infrastructure requirement for the 1997, 2006, and
2012 PM2.5, 2008 8-hour Ozone, 2008 Lead, 2010
NO2, and 2010 SO2 NAAQS. This final action fully
addresses the SIP deficiencies related to section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) and
section 128 from EPA's prior disapprovals of infrastructure SIP
submissions for the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS on October 15,
2012 (77 FR 62449), 2008 8-hour Ozone NAAQS on April 2, 2015 (80 FR
17689), 2008 Lead NAAQS on October 9, 2015 (80 FR 61111), 2010
NO2 NAAQS on November 21, 2016 (81 FR 83142), and 2010
SO2 NAAQS on January 12, 2017 (82 FR 3637). Thus, this final
action also satisfies EPA's FIP obligation with regard to that
infrastructure SIP requirement for these NAAQS based on the prior
disapprovals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Alabama's October 24, 2017 submission became state effective
on December 8, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA proposed to approve Alabama's October 24, 2017, submission
related to the state board requirements as meeting the requirements of
section 128, and also as meeting the infrastructure requirements of
section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) for the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5, 2008
8-hour Ozone, 2008 Lead, 2010 NO2, and 2010 SO2
NAAQS and a portion of the December 9, 2015, infrastructure SIP
submission related to the state board requirements for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR)
published on February 8, 2018 (83 FR 5594). The details of Alabama's
submissions and the rationale for EPA's actions related to how Alabama
addressed the requirements of section 128 and the related
infrastructure section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) requirements for the
aforementioned NAAQS are explained in the NPR.

II. Response to Comments

    EPA received a total of nine sets of comments, but only one
commenter submitted comments that are relevant to this action.
    Comment 1: The Commenter contends that Alabama's new provisions
related to conflicts of interest do not fully comply with the CAA
section 128 because the provisions apply to the members of applicable
boards or bodies, rather than to the board or body itself.
Specifically, the Commenter states: ``because the 128(a)(1) applies to
the board itself but [Alabama Rule] 335-1-1-.03(1)(h) does not apply to
the board itself, but rather to its members, 335-1-1-.03(1)(h) does not
meet the requirement of 128(a)(1).'' The Commenter contends that this
raises concerns about the enforceability of this provision. The
Commenter expresses concern that it could not name the board itself as
a defendant because the provision does not apply to the board, and that
it could be difficult to enforce the conflict of interest provisions
against individual board members because the members each could assert
they are not the majority. The Commenter also expresses concern about
remedies in such an enforcement action, contending that a ``U.S.
District Judge would have to decide which members to remove from the
board.'' Therefore, the Commenter suggested

that EPA should only conditionally approve the SIP submissions--
specifically, that EPA approve the submissions on the condition that
the state revise 335-1-1-.03(1)(h) so that it applies to the Alabama
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) as a collective entity,
rather than to the individual members of the EMC.
    EPA's Response 1: EPA does not agree with the Commenter that
Alabama Rule 335-1-1-.03(2)(h) \2\ does not satisfy the requirements of
section 128(a)(1) because the provision applies to each individual
member of the board or body, rather than to the board or body itself as
a whole. Section 128(a)(1) requires SIPs to (a) ``contain requirements
that (1) any board or body which approves permits or enforcement orders
under [the CAA] shall have at least a majority of members who represent
the public interest and do not derive any significant portion of income
from persons subject to permits or enforcement orders under [the
CAA].'' Upon approval, the Alabama SIP will contain requirements to
ensure that the EMC will have at least a majority of members who
represent the public interest and who do not derive a significant
portion of income from regulated entities, and that all of the members
of the EMC will disclose any potential conflicts of interest. This is
because the EMC is made up of the members themselves (there is no
separate governing board or body) and because each member will be
responsible for meeting all requirements of section 128, including the
majority requirements of section 128(a)(1). By electing to make each
individual member of the EMC directly responsible for compliance with
section 128 requirements, Alabama has assured that the EMC as a whole
will meet these requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commenter provided a citation to Alabama rule 335-1-
1-.03(1)(h) in its comments, but the SIP submission requests
incorporation of Alabama rule 335-1-1-.03(2)(h). EPA notes that
Alabama rule 335-1-1-.03 does not include a (1)(h), and believes the
Commenter's citation was in error. EPA is, therefore, citing to 335-
1-1-.03(2)(h) in its responses to the comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, EPA notes that the CAA does not explicitly require that
the provisions of section 128(a)(1) apply directly to a board or body
itself as a distinct entity. Ultimately, the requirements of this
provisions are met if a majority of board members meet the public-
interest and significant-portion-of-income requirements. In fact, as
noted in the notice of proposed approval, 83 FR 5597, states have some
flexibility to determine the specific provisions needed to satisfy the
requirements of section 128, so long as the statutory requirements are
met.3 4 In this instance, Alabama determined that requiring
each member of the board to meet the requirements of section 128(a)(1)
is an appropriate means to assure that the EMC as a whole meets the
substantive requirements. Thus, EPA believes Alabama's approach
satisfies the majority composition requirements of section 128(a)(1),
about which the commenter expressed concern, and does not require any
amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The U.S. House of Representatives conference committee
report for the 1977 amendments stated that ``it is the
responsibility of each state to determine the specific requirements
to meet the general requirements of [section 128].'' H.R. Rep. 95-
564 (1977), reprinted in Legislative History of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1977, 526-527 (1978).
    \4\ In guidance, EPA has recognized that states may have a
variety of procedures and special concerns that may warrant
differing approaches to implementation of section 128. ``Guidance to
States for Meeting Conflict of Interest Requirements of Section
128,'' Memorandum from David O. Bickart, Deputy General Counsel, to
Regional Air Directors, March 2, 1978 (``1978 Guidance'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commenter also expresses concern about potential difficulties
with pursuing citizen suits as a basis for suggesting that Rule 335-1-
1-.03(2)(h) is not enforceable. Specifically, the Commenter suggests
that it would be unable to name the board itself as a defendant, then
posits that individual board members could say they are not the
majority, and concludes that a ``U.S. District Judge would have to
decide which members to remove from the board.'' EPA does not agree
that being unable to seek enforcement against the board itself versus
the individual members will preclude enforcement of the requirements in
the event of potential noncompliance. EPA does not believe that Rule
335-1-1-.03(2)(h) presents unique enforcement challenges or that
requiring compliance by each member of the EMC, rather than the EMC
itself, eliminates the opportunity for judicial review for non-
compliance. In particular, the EPA does not agree that the only remedy
available to a federal district court is for the court to decide which
members to remove from the board. For example, the court could direct
board members to comply with the section 128 requirements.
    Comment 2: The Commenter also expresses concerns ``with regard to
CAA 128(a)(2)'s obligation to adequately disclose potential conflicts
of interest, [Rule] 335-1-1-.03(1)(h) and [Rule] 335-1-1-.04(6)'s lack
of any specifics as to what constitutes adequate disclosure can lead to
confusion and potential lengthy litigation.''
    EPA's Response 2: EPA does not agree that omitting an explicit
regulatory definition or other specification of what constitutes
adequate disclosure is impermissible. EPA notes that the CAA itself
does not define what constitutes ``adequately'' disclosing potential
conflicts of interest. This means that what constitutes adequate
disclosure may depend upon the specific facts and circumstances of a
given situation. While EPA's 1978 guidance provides a recommended
definition for ``adequately disclosed,'' this guidance also specifies
that it does not create a requirement that all SIPs must include EPA's
suggested definitions verbatim, or that states must include any
definitions in SIPs at all.\5\ As noted in the proposed action, EPA has
approved similar state law requirements for other states that closely
track or mirror the explicit statutory language of section 128, and
which do not define ``adequately disclosed.'' \6\ Nevertheless, EPA
concludes that by requiring each member of the EMC and the management
of ADEM to comply with applicable federal law and regulations, those
individuals are required to disclose any potential conflicts of
interest adequately. The determination of whether they have done so
will turn upon the specific facts and circumstances of a given
situation, per the explicit requirement of section 128(a)(2). Because
Alabama's SIP revision meets CAA requirements and is consistent with
EPA guidance and past approvals with respect to the requirements of
section 128, EPA believes that state does not need to make the
revisions suggested by the Commenter.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of ADEM's
Section 335-1-1-.03, Organization and Duties of the Commission and
Section 335-1-1-.04, Organization of the Department, state effective
December 8, 2017, which revise Alabama's SIP to include language that
mandates members of the Alabama Environmental Management Commission and
the ADEM Director, Deputy Director, Division Chiefs, and all ADEM
personnel meet all requirements of the state ethics law and the
conflict of interest provisions of applicable Federal laws and
regulations. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these

materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the
EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the person identified in the For
Further Information Contact section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's
approval, and will be incorporated in the next update to the SIP
compilation.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Final Action

    As described above, EPA is taking action to approve SIP revisions
needed to assure that Alabama's SIP meets the state board requirements
of section 128 of the CAA. Approval of Alabama's October 24, 2017 SIP
submission, and a portion of the December 9, 2015 SIP submission also
meets the section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) infrastructure SIP requirements for
the 1997, 2006, and 2012 PM2.5, 2008 8-hour Ozone, 2008
Lead, 2010 NO2, and 2010 SO2 NAAQS. With this
approval, the deficiencies that EPA identified in the previous partial
disapprovals of Alabama's infrastructure SIP submissions related to the
state board requirements for the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5, 2008
8-hour Ozone, 2008 Lead, 2010 NO2, and 2010 SO2
NAAQS are resolved.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. This action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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 the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 4, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus
Helicopters Model AS332C1, AS332L1, AS332L2, EC225LP, AS-365N2, AS 365
N3, EC 155B, and EC155B1 helicopters with an energy absorbing seat
(seat). This AD requires inspecting for the presence of labels that
prohibit stowing anything under the seat. If a label is missing or not
clearly visible to each occupant, we require installing a label. This
AD was prompted by the discovery that required labels had not been
systematically installed. The actions of this AD are intended to
prevent objects from being stowed under the seat as these objects could
reduce the energy-absorbing function of the seat, resulting in injury
to the seat occupants during an accident.

DATES: This AD is effective January 26, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain documents listed in this AD as of January 26,
2016.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On July 14, 2015, at 80 FR 40947, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Airbus Helicopters
Model AS332C1, AS332L1, AS332L2, EC225LP, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B,
and EC155B1 helicopters with certain energy absorbing seats. The NPRM
proposed to require inspecting for the presence of labels that would
prohibit stowing anything under the seat. If a label is missing or not
clearly visible to each occupant, the NPRM proposed to require
installing a label. The proposed requirements were intended to prevent
objects from being stowed under the seat as these objects could reduce
the energy-absorbing function of the seat, resulting in injury to the
seat occupants during an accident.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2014-0204, dated September 11,
2014, and corrected September 12, 2014, by EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe
condition for Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C1, AS332L1, AS332L2,
EC225LP, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B, and EC155B1 helicopters. EASA
advises that during certification of an energy absorbing seat with a
new part number, the labels that require keeping the space under the
seat free of any object were not systematically installed. EASA states
that this condition, if not corrected, could prompt occupants to stow
objects under an energy absorbing seat, which would reduce the
effectiveness of the seat and the occupants' chance of surviving an
accident. The EASA AD consequently requires a one-time inspection for
the presence of labels and, if they are missing or unreadable, making
and installing labels prohibiting the placing of an object under an
energy absorbing seat.
    Since the NPRM was issued, the FAA Southwest Regional Office has
relocated and a group email address has been established for requesting
an FAA Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) for a helicopter of
foreign design. Therefore, we have revised the physical address
throughout the AD and the email address for requesting an AMOC.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we received no comments on the NPRM (80 FR 40947, July 14,
2015).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by France and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these
same type designs and that air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus Helicopters issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. AS332-
01.00.85 for Model AS332C1, AS332L1, and AS332L2 helicopters; ASB No.
AS365-01.00.66 for Model AS-365N2 and AS 365 N3 helicopters; ASB No.
EC155-04A013 for EC 155B and EC155B1 helicopters; and ASB No. EC225-
04A012 for Model EC225LP helicopters. All ASBs are Revision 0 and dated
August 26, 2014. The ASBs state that during certification of an energy
absorbing seat with a new part number, it was observed that the label,
which indicates that the space under the seats must remain free of
objects, was not systematically installed. Objects stowed under these
seats reduce the energy absorbing function and thus jeopardize the
occupant's survival in the event of a crash, the ASBs state. Pending a
definitive solution, Airbus Helicopters calls for affixing a label that
states that nothing can be stored under the seats.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 52 helicopters of U.S. Registry
and that labor costs average $85 a work-hour. Based on these estimates,
we expect that the inspection for the presence of a label takes a
quarter work-hour for a labor cost of about $21. The cost of parts and
time for installing a label are minimal, for a total cost of $21 per
helicopter and $1,092 for the U.S. fleet.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (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);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

A nominee may either be self-nominated or nominated by an organization
to serve as a nonvoting industry representative. Nomination will be
accepted for current vacancies effective with this notice.

DATES: Any industry organization interested in participating in the
selection of an appropriate nonvoting member to represent industry
interests must send a letter stating that interest to the FDA by
October 31, 2011, for the vacancy listed in this document.
Concurrently, nomination materials for prospective candidates should be
sent to FDA by October 31, 2011.

ADDRESSES: All letters of interest and nominations should be submitted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency intends to add a nonvoting
industry representative on the CBER Advisory Committee.

I. Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee

    The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee
(the Committee) advises the Commissioner

of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner) or designee in discharging
responsibilities as they relate to the regulation of vaccines and
related biological products. Members are asked to provide their expert
scientific and technical advice to FDA to help make sound decisions on
the safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use, of vaccines and related
biological products.

II. Selection Procedure

    Any industry organization interested in participating in the
selection of an appropriate nonvoting member to represent industry
interests should send a letter stating that interest to the FDA contact
(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT and DATES). Within the subsequent
30 days, FDA will send a letter to each organization that has expressed
an interest, attaching a complete list of all such organizations; and a
list of all nominees along with their current resumes. The letter will
also state that it is the responsibility of the interested
organizations to confer with one another and to select a candidate,
within 60 days after the receipt of the FDA letter, to serve as the
nonvoting member to represent industry interests for the Committee. The
interested organizations are not bound by the list of nominees in
selecting a candidate. However, if no individual is selected within 60
days, the Commissioner will select the nonvoting member to represent
industry interests.

III. Application Procedure

    Individuals may self-nominate and/or an organization may nominate
one or more individuals to serve as a nonvoting industry representative
(for the roles specified in this document). Nominations must include a
current resume or curriculum vitae of the nominee including current
business address and/or home address, telephone number, email address
if available, and the role for which the individual is being nominated.
FDA will forward all nominations to the organizations expressing
interest in participating in the selection process for the committee.
(Persons who nominate themselves as nonvoting industry representatives
will not participate in the selection process).
    FDA has a special interest in ensuring that women, minority groups,
individuals with physical disabilities, and small businesses are
adequately represented on its advisory committees, and therefore,
encourages nominations for appropriately qualified candidates from
these groups.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to the advisory committees.

    Dated: September 23, 2011.

How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained
below.

Protests

    Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\2\ any person \3\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

    Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\4\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is August 13, 2021. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \5\ and the regulations under the NGA \6\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is August 13, 2021. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

    \6\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.

Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before August 13, 2021. The filing of a comment alone will not
serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party,
you must intervene in the proceeding.
