SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-153, Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Commission Service Delivery.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0293.
    Type of Request: Generic information collection.
    Abstract: On March 17, 2020, the Commission published a Notice in
the Federal Register (85 FR 15159) in Docket No. IC20-11-000 requesting
public comments. The Commission received no public comments and is
indicating that in the related submittal to OMB. This information
collection provides a means to garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with
the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback, we mean data that provides useful insights on
perceptions and opinions but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and expectations, provide an early warning of
issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication,
training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or
services. This collection will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between FERC and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
    The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery.
Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Commission's services will be unavailable.
    The Commission will only submit a collection for approval under
this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
     The collections are voluntary;
     The collections are low burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents
and the Federal Government;
     The collections are non-controversial and do not raise
issues of concern to other Federal agencies;
     The collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions
from respondents who have experience with the program or may have
experience with the program soon;
     Personal identifiable information (PII) is collected only
to the extent necessary and is not retained;
     Information gathered is intended to be used only
internally for general service improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release outside of the Commission (if
released, the Commission must indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
     Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
     Information gathered will yield qualitative information;
the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the
population of study.
    Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such
data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target
population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame,
the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the
precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing
potential non-response bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding
the study.
    As a general matter, this information collection will not result in
any new system of records containing privacy information and will not
ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and
attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. The Commission
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information which
does not display a valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.6(a). OMB
authorization for an information collection cannot be for more than
three years without renewal.
    On March 17, 2020, the Commission published a Notice in the Federal
Register in Docket No. IC20-11-000 requesting public comments. The
Commission received no public comments.
    Type of Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households;
Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit organizations; State,
Local, or Tribal government.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden and cost for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or

    Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Under EPA's
National Program for Environmental Priorities (formerly, Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements under EPA's National Waste Minimization
partnership Program)
    Abstract: EPA currently has an ongoing national program that,
through source reduction, reuse, and recycling, encourages a reduction
in use or the minimization of release of hazardous chemicals.
Participation in the National Partnership for Environmental Priorities
(previously the National Waste Minimization Partnership Program) is
completely voluntary. EPA will use five

forms to collect information from participants, called partners, which
can be prepared and submitted in a hard copy or electronically.
Participation begins when the first of these forms, an Enrollment Form,
is submitted and accepted by EPA. The form asks for basic site
identification information as well as information on the company's
chemical reduction goals under the program.
    Partners will also have an opportunity to complete and submit the
second optional form titled Application for Certificate of
Accomplishment. They may submit this form when they accomplish the
goals they established for their initial participation in the program.
These certificate applications will enable the Agency to confirm a
partners' progress and to measure the overall success of the program.
Evaluation and acceptance of these certificate applications is also the
basis the Agency uses to recognize partner accomplishments in a formal
(e.g., at an awards ceremony or by congratulatory letter) manner, if
appropriate. This partner recognition is important as a motivation in
enlisting new partners and in encouraging current partners to declare
additional reduction goals.
    A third form is an optional, one-time Case Studies Submission Form.
This form enables a partner to describe its waste minimization
techniques, implementation problems, lessons learned, benefits, and
relevant implications. The case studies will assist the Agency in
better understanding waste minimization approaches and technologies.
The information may also help the Agency in sharing lessons learned and
effective strategies among the facilities generating hazardous waste,
in order to promote continued and effective waste minimization efforts.
Sharing effective waste reduction strategies with others is a
fundamental objective of the partnership program.
    The fourth and fifth forms provide current partners the opportunity
to revise current goals or to submit additional goals. They are titled
the Add Our New Goals Form and the Goal Revision Form. Other than their
titles, both forms are actually the same as the enrollment form
described above.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 14
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-74694; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2015-28]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Modifying the NYSE
Arca Options Fee Schedule To Adopt Fees for Certain Manual Transactions
in Options Overlying IWM

April 9, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on April 3, 2015, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') 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 prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt fees for certain Manual transactions
in options overlying IWM (the iShares Russell 2000 ETF). The Exchange
proposes to implement the fee change effective April 3, 2015. The text
of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this filing is to adopt fees for certain manual
transactions in options overlying IWM (the iShares Russell 2000 ETF).
The Exchange proposes to implement the fee change effective April 3,
2015.
    Currently, manual trades in IWM are subject to the same fees as any
other listed option that is traded manually. However, the Exchange is
proposing to offer special pricing to encourage increased manual
trading in the product and to offset losses of manual transactions
associated with options in the iShares Russell Index (RUT), which is
exclusively trading on another venue.
    Accordingly, for Manual transactions in IWM executed by NYSE Arca
Market Makers, Firms and Broker Dealers (collectively, the ``IWM
Participants''), the Exchange proposes to charge $0.125 per
contract.\4\ The Exchange also proposes to offer IWM Participants
certain incentives for increased monthly volumes of manual transactions
in IWM. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to instead offer the
enhanced rates of (a) $0.075 for each contract in excess of 74,999
contracts; and (b) $0.025 for each contract in excess of 99,999
contracts, for Manual executions in IWM transacted during the month.\5\
As is the case today, Customers (including Professional Customers) will
not be charged for manual transactions in IWM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange notes that there is currently no Lead Market
Maker (``LMM'') in IWM and, thus, the proposed fee reduction does
not apply to LMMs. In the event that the Exchange appoints an LMM in
IWM, the Exchange would address how the proposed fee reduction would
apply to the LMM in a subsequent filing.
    \5\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that Firm Facilitations,\6\ Strategy Executions
\7\ and Qualified Contingent Crosses are excluded from the proposed fee
change and would not count towards calculations of the total monthly
Manual transactions in IWM. Further, after calculating fees associated
with Manual transactions in IWM, at the end of the month, the Exchange
will round to the nearest penny when applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As defined in the Fee Schedule, a Firm Facilitation is any
transaction involving a Firm proprietary trading account that has a
customer of that same Firm on the contra side of the transaction, or
a broker dealer facilitating a Customer order, where the broker
dealer and the Customer both clear through the same clearing firm
and the broker dealer clears in the customer range. See Fee
Schedule, Endnote 7, available here, https://www.nyse.com/publicdocs/nyse/markets/arca-options/NYSE_Arca_Options_Fee_Schedule.pdf
    \7\ As set forth in the Fee Schedule, Strategy Executions are
transactions involving (a) reversals and conversions, (b) box
spreads, (c) short stock interest spreads, (d) merger spreads, and
(e) jelly rolls. See id., ``LIMIT OF FEES ON OPTIONS STRATEGY
EXECUTIONS''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,\9\ in particular,
because it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and other persons
using its facilities and does not unfairly

discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Overall, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes to IWM
pricing for Manual transactions are reasonable, equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because the reduced rates are based on the
executions in IWM transacted on the Exchange. In addition, the Exchange
believes the proposed fees are reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because the fees are designed to incentivize IWM
Participants to conduct Manual trades in IWM and apply equally to all
IWM Participants.\10\ The Exchange believes the proposed fee changes
may result in an increase in volume and liquidity to the Exchange,
which would provide more trading opportunities and tighter spreads, to
the benefit of all market participants even non-IWM Participants, all
of which perfects the mechanism for a free and open market and national
market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Similarly, as noted above, supra n. 4, the proposed fee is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because there
is currently no LMM in IWM and, therefore, no LMM is impacted by
this proposed fee change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For these reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal is
consistent with the Act.

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\11\ the Exchange
does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden
on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes the proposed fees
associated with IWM are pro-competitive as they may attract more volume
and liquidity to the Exchange through the proposed reduced rates, which
would benefit all Exchange participants through increased opportunities
to trade as well as enhancing price discovery.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market
in which market participants can readily favor competing venues. In
such an environment, the Exchange must continually review, and consider
