SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority,
as it would amend airspace in Philadelphia, PA, to support IFR
operations in the area.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D
airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at the following airports:
    Philadelphia International Airport, by updating the geographic
coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database;
    New Castle Airport (formerly New Castle County Airport) by updating
the airport name and replacing the outdated term Airport/Facility
Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the airport description;
    Summit Airport (formerly Summit Airpark) by updating the airport
name and geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database;
    Also, the Class E surface airspace for Millville Municipal Airport
would be amended by updating the airport geographic coordinates to
coincide with the FAA's database.
    Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated
August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

I. Background for Final Rule

    On February 11, 2016 (81 FR 7259), we proposed to approve revisions
to the Arizona SIP under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') and
provided a 30-day comment period. The revisions include rescissions of
certain statutory provisions, administrative and prohibitory rules, and
test methods. The EPA also proposed to correct certain errors in
previous actions on prior revisions to the Arizona SIP and to make
certain other corrections.
    On that same date, we issued a direct final rule (81 FR 7209)
taking final action effective April 11, 2016 but indicated that, if we
received adverse comments by the end of the comment period, we would
publish a withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register
prior to the effective date informing the public that the direct final
rule will not take effect. The February 11, 2016 proposed rule
indicated that if the EPA received adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of the direct final rule and if that provision
may be severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as
final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
    We received a timely adverse comment on a specific test method for
which we had approved rescission and found that our action on the test
method (and other test methods and performance test specifications from
the same approved SIP revision submittal) could be severed from the
rest of the rule. Thus, we published a partial withdrawal of the direct
final rule in the Federal Register at 81 FR 19495 (April 5, 2016),
affecting only the action as it relates to the test method for which
the comment was received (and the other test methods and performance
test specifications that were submitted and approved on the same dates
as the test method in question). In today's action, we provide our
response to the public comment and take final action to approve the
rescissions of the outdated test methods and performance test
specifications based on the proposal published on February 11, 2016.

II. Summary of Proposed Rule

    In our February 11, 2016 proposed rule (81 FR 7259), we directed
commenters to the direct final rule for a detailed rationale for the
proposed approval of the SIP revisions and for the proposed
corrections. As such, the following paragraphs summarize the background
information and evaluation included in the direct final rule also
published on February 11, 2016 (81 FR 7209) as it relates to the test
methods and performance test specifications that are the subject of
this final rule.
    On March 10, 2015 and January 13, 2016, the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality (ADEQ) submitted rescissions of certain statutory
and regulatory provisions from the applicable Arizona SIP. Under CAA
section 110(k)(3), the EPA is obligated to approve, disapprove, or
conditionally approve SIPs and SIP revisions, including rescissions. As
noted above, the rescissions relate to certain statutory provisions,
administrative and prohibitory rules, and test methods. In our February
11, 2016 direct final rule (81 FR 7209), we approved all of the
rescissions included in the two SIP revisions except for certain test
methods and performance test specifications, for which we withdrew
direct final action. In our direct final rule, we also corrected
certain errors in previous actions on prior revisions to the Arizona
SIP and to make certain other corrections, but because no adverse
comments were received on the corrections, we did not withdraw any part
of the error corrections portion of the direct final rule.
    Table 1 lists the test methods and performance test specifications
the rescission of which we withdrew direct final action, the dates on
which the EPA approved the provisions as part of the SIP, and the dates
on which ADEQ submitted the rescissions to the EPA.

                                        sources.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As explained in our February 11, 2016 direct final rule, in April
1982, the EPA approved sections 3 and 4 of the Arizona Testing Manual
for Air Pollutant Emissions (``Arizona Testing Manual'') as a revision
to the Arizona SIP. Section 3 of the Arizona Testing Manual includes
certain test methods from 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, and section 4 of
the Arizona Testing Manual includes certain performance test
specifications from 40 CFR part 60, appendix B. Both the test methods
and performance test methods approved into the Arizona SIP date from
the 1970s.
    Over the years, the EPA's test methods and performance test
specifications in 40 CFR part 60 have

been revised, and thus, the versions of the test methods and
performance test specifications approved as part of the Arizona SIP are
outdated. Also, in recent years, the EPA has approved two state rules
that in effect incorporate more recent versions of the EPA's test
methods and performance test specifications into the Arizona SIP. See
Arizona Administrative Code (AAC) R18-2-311 (``Test Methods and
Procedures'') and appendix 2 (``Test Methods and Protocols'') for AAC,
title 18, chapter 2.\1\ See 80 FR 67319 (November 2, 2015) and 79 FR
56655 (September 23, 2014). As such, the outdated test methods and
performance test specifications approved as part of the Arizona Testing
Manual need not be retained in the Arizona SIP. Thus, we found ADEQ's
rescission of the outdated test methods and performance test
specifications to be acceptable, and, under section 110(k), we proposed
to approve the state's rescission of them from the Arizona SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ R18-2-311 provides that applicable procedures and testing
methods contained in, among other references, 40 CFR part 60,
appendices A through F, shall be used to determine compliance with
state requirements for stationary sources. Appendix 2 for AAC, title
18, chapter 2 incorporates by reference 40 CFR part 60 appendices
revised as of July 1, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For further information about the SIP revisions and our
corresponding evaluation, please see our direct final rule (81 FR 7209,
February 11, 2016).

III. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    Our February 11, 2016 proposed rule provided for a 30-day comment
period. During that period, we received a comment from a member of the
public. Staff at EPA Region 9 contacted the commenter to clarify this
comment on March 22, 2016. Our response to this comment is provided
below.
    Comment: All legacy permits and emission sources administered under
this [SIP] should allow the use of EPA Method 9 and/or EPA Broadly
Applicable Alternative Method 082 for the measurement of opacity and
evaluation of visible emissions. All new sources regulated under this
plan should require the use of EPA Alternative Method 082 for the
measurement of opacity and the evaluation of visible emission sources.
People complain about what they can see and smell and the use of
digital-camera-based visible emission evaluation is the best means to
ensure public participation and support. The EPA declared ASTM D7520's
Digital Camera Opacity Technique (DCOT) the Best Available Measurement
Technology for visible emissions in the Ferroalloy Production NESHAP
rule and this example should be followed in all State Implementation
Plans.
    EPA Response: Under the existing SIP, EPA Method 9 is already
allowed to be used. In fact, under the existing SIP, two versions of
EPA Method 9 are approved for use: The version of EPA Method 9 approved
at 47 FR 17483 (April 23, 1982) and the updated version of EPA Method 9
approved through approval of AAC R18-2-311 and appendix 2 for AAC,
title 18, chapter 2, which incorporates by reference 40 CFR part 60
appendices (including EPA Method 9) revised as of July 1, 2006. Our
approval of the state's rescission of the 1982 approved version of EPA
Method 9 simply deletes that version from the SIP. The more current
version of Method 9 continues to apply under the SIP.
    As far as alternative methods are concerned, AAC R18-2-311, which
as noted above has been approved as part of the Arizona SIP, does
provide for alternatives to EPA Method 9, but the alternative method so
provided for does not include Broadly Applicable Alternative Method
082. More specifically, AAC R18-2-311(B) provides that a permit may
specify a method, other than EPA Method 9, for determining the opacity
of visible emissions from a particular emission unit, if the method has
been promulgated by the EPA in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. The EPA has
approved and promulgated in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A only one
alternative to Method 9: ``Alternative Method 1--Determination of the
Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources Remotely by LIDAR.'' Thus,
Alternative Method 082 is not specifically provided for under the
Arizona SIP at the present time.\2\ The rescission of an outdated
version of EPA Method 9 has no effect on the status of Alternative
Method 082 in the Arizona SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ We note, however, that under SIP-approved AAC R18-2-312
(``Performance tests''), data collected using other methods, such as
Alternative Method 082 or ASTM D7520, may be used as evidence of
compliance with applicable good maintenance and operating
requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We do recognize that the EPA has approved Alternative Method 082 as
an alternative to EPA Method 9 with certain limitations and for certain
purposes. Alternative Method 082 specifies, with certain limitations,
the use of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D7520-09
``Standard Test Method for Determining the Opacity of a Plume in the
Outdoor Ambient Atmosphere'' as an alternative to EPA Method 9 for
sources subject to 40 CFR 60, 61, and 63. See 77 FR 8865 (February 15,
2012). We also note that the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) for the Ferroalloys Production source category
was recently amended following the EPA's request for comments on the
use of new technologies to provide continuous or near continuous long
term approaches to monitoring emissions from industrial sources for the
Ferroalloy Production source category. After consideration of comments
received and after evaluating the technologies, the EPA amended the
Ferroalloys Production NESHAPS to, among other things, replace the
weekly Method 9 opacity requirement with a weekly requirement to
measure opacity using ASTM D7520-13 (i.e., an updated version of ASTM
D7520-9) and the digital camera opacity technique (DCOT) to demonstrate
compliance with the process fugitives standards. See 80 FR 37366 (June
30, 2015).
    However, use of Alternative Method 082's or ASTM D7520's digital
camera technology by states to determine opacity of visible emissions
is not a requirement for SIPs. The State of Arizona could consider a
revision to its rules to allow the use of Alternative Method 082 (for
appropriate applications and with appropriate limitations) or the most
current version of ASTM D7520 if it chooses to do so, as long as the
use of the DCOT in lieu of EPA Method 9 is consistent with EPA's
approval of ASTM D7520-09 in Alternative Method 082. We generally
support its inclusion in State programs where appropriate. The EPA
would take action to approve or disapprove such a revision under CAA
section 110(k) if the state were to adopt such a revision and submit it
to the EPA as a SIP revision.

IV. Final Action

    Pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(3), the EPA is approving the state's
rescission of the outdated test methods and performance test
specifications listed in Table 1 from the Arizona SIP because we
believe they are no longer necessary to retain.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely rescinds outdated test methods and

performance test specifications as unnecessary to retain in the
applicable SIP 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation
land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, this 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. The 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 Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 28, 2016. 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)).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-80495; File No. SR-BOX-2017-12]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend a Prior Rule Change, SR-BOX-2017-08, Which Contained a Portion of
Text That Is Not Applicable to BOX

April 20, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on April 17, 2017, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 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 amend a prior rule change, SR-BOX-2017-
08,\3\ which contained a portion of text that is not applicable to BOX.
The text of the proposed rule change is available from the principal
office of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and
also on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities and Exchange Act Release No. 80247 (March 15,
2017), 82 FR 14589 (March 21, 2017) (``Complex Order filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the previously submitted filing SR-
BOX-2017-08 which contained a portion of text that is not applicable to
BOX.
    Last year, the Exchange and other options exchanges adopted a new,
harmonized rule related to the adjustment and nullification of
erroneous options transactions, including a specific provision related
to coordination in connection with large-scale events involving
erroneous options transactions.\4\ Accordingly, the Exchange filed a
proposed rule change detailing the handling of erroneous options
transactions that result from the execution of complex orders.\5\ The
purpose of this filing is to clarify that a portion of text found in
the previous filing is not applicable to BOX. Specifically, the text
states, ``The same concern is not present when a Complex Order executes
against the leg market under IM-7170-4(a) because the Exchange is
modifying its system in order to ensure the leg will execute at or
within the NBBO of the leg markets.'' \6\ The Exchange seeks to clarify
that BOX already has this NBBO functionality in place \7\ and will not
be modifying its system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74911 (May 8, 2015),
80 FR 27717 (May 14, 2015) (SR-BOX-2015-18) (the ``Initial
Filing'').
    \5\ See Complex Order Filing supra note 3. The Exchange notes
that this previous filing was based off of an industry filing.
    \6\ See Complex Order Filing supra note 3 at 14592.
    \7\ See BOX Rule 7240(b)(3)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it is designed to protect
investors and the public interest, promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities by
eliminating investor confusion with regard to the portion of text found
in the previous filing that is not applicable to BOX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The proposed rule change will not impose any burden on competition
not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act
as the proposed rule change is simply seeking to eliminate investor
confusion with regard to the provision in the previous filing that is
not applicable to BOX.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). 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 proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \12\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
states that the proposed rule change simply seeks to

eliminate investor confusion regarding the provision in the previous
filing that is not applicable to BOX, as discussed above. For this
reason, the Commission believes the waiver of the operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\14\

the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.

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

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notification of extension of time to take final action on the
proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On October 10, 2017, the Department of Energy (the Department
or DOE) published a proposed Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule for final
action by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC). Secretary of Energy Rick Perry (the Secretary) directed FERC
either to publish an immediately-effective interim rule or to take
final action on the proposed rule within 60 days of publication,
thereby establishing a deadline of December 11, 2017. By letter dated
December 7, 2017, the Commission requested an extension of the proposed
rule's deadline. By letter dated December 8, 2017, the Secretary
granted the Commission's request. The Secretary's letter is set forth
in full below.

DATES: The Commission is granted an extension for final action on the
proposed rule published in the Federal Register on October 10, 2017 (82
FR 46940) by Wednesday, January 10, 2018.

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 10, 2017, pursuant to authority
in section 403 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C.
7173, the Department published a proposed Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule
for final action by the Commission. 82 FR 46940. The Secretary proposed
that the Commission exercise its authority under the Federal Power Act
(FPA) to establish just and reasonable rates for wholesale electricity
sales. Under the proposal, the Commission would impose rules on
Commission-approved independent system operators (ISOs) and regional
transmission organizations (RTOs) to ensure that certain reliability
and resilience attributes of electric generation resources are fully
valued. The Secretary directed the Commission to take final action on
this proposal within 60 days of publication of the proposed rule in the
Federal Register or, in the alternative, to issue the rule as an
interim final rule immediately, with provision for later modifications
after consideration of public comments. By letter dated December 7,
2017, the Commission requested an extension of time to take final
action on the proposed rule (the letter is available at https://www.ferc.gov/DOE-letter.pdf). By letter dated December 8, 2017, the
Secretary granted FERC's request, setting a new deadline of Wednesday,
January 10, 2018, for action by the Commission. In the letter, the
Secretary stated that the Commission is nevertheless authorized to act
at any time prior to this deadline and urged the Commission to act
expeditiously. The Secretary's letter is set forth, in full, below.

Re: The Secretary of Energy's Granting of the Request for an
Extension of Time for the Commission to Take Final Action on the
Proposed Grid Reliability and Resiliency Pricing Rule, FERC Docket
No. RM18-1-000

Dear Chairman McIntyre:
    On December 7, I received your request for an extension of time
(``Extension Request'') for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(``Commission'') to take final action on the proposed Grid
Resiliency Pricing Rule in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(``Notice'' or ``Proposal'') published in the Federal Register on
October 10, and referenced in the above-captioned FERC docket.
    In the Notice and in my accompanying letter of September 28, I
made clear that there is a problem today and that urgent action is
required to reform the Commission's market rules. I stated that, in
light of serious threats to the nation's electricity grid, it is the
Commission's immediate responsibility to take action to ensure that
generation resources with on-site fuel supplies and the ability to
provide essential energy and ancillary reliability services
including voltage support, frequency services, operating reserves,
and reactive power are fully valued and, in particular, to exercise
its authority to develop new market rules that will achieve this
urgent objective. In the letter I further stated that failure to act
expeditiously would be unjust, unreasonable, and contrary to the
public interest. The voluminous comments filed in the record of this
proceeding provide substantial evidence of, and otherwise confirm,
the threat to the nation's electricity grid and the urgent need for
Commission action to reform market rules to preserve fuel-secure
generation resources.
    Because of the urgency of this matter, the 60-day deadline
imposed in the Notice is reasonable within the meaning of Section
403 of the Department of Energy Organization Act and is otherwise
compliant with applicable law. The better course would be for the
Commission to adopt the Proposal within this reasonable deadline. If
the Commission fails to adopt the Proposal within the original

deadline for the reasons stated in the Extension Request, the
security of our nation's electric grid will continue to be at risk.
    However, I understand that Section 403 assigns the Commission
the responsibility to take final action on the Proposal within the
reasonable time period set forth by me and it is solely within my
authority under Section 403 to grant an extension of time for final
action. On the assumption that the Commission cannot act on the
proposal within the 60-day deadline, I hereby grant the request for
an extension of time for the Commission to deliberate and take final
action on the Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule for an additional 30
days.\1\ The new deadline is Wednesday, January 10, 2018. The
Commission is nevertheless authorized to act at any time prior to
this deadline and I urge the Commission to act expeditiously. During
this additional period, the Department will continue to examine all
options within my authority under the Department of Energy
Organization Act, the Federal Power Act, and any other authorities
to take remedial action as necessary to ensure the security of the
nation's electric grid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This extension is granted pursuant to my authority under
section 403 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, among
other powers and authorities granted to me by law.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I continue to believe that urgent action must be taken to ensure
the resilience and security of the electric grid, which is so
vitally important to the economic and national security of the
United States. I look forward to the Commission taking final action
in this matter for the benefit of the American people.

Sincerely,

Rick Perry

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: Pilot Professional Development.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: This is a new information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on October 7, 2016 (81 FR 69908). On February 25, 2020,
the FAA published the Pilot Professional Development final rule. This
action amends the requirements primarily applicable to air carriers
conducting domestic, flag, and supplemental operations to enhance the
professional development of pilots in those operations. This action
requires air carriers conducting domestic, flag, and supplemental
operations to provide new-hire pilots with an opportunity to observe
flight operations and become familiar with procedures before serving as
a flightcrew member in operations; to revise the upgrade curriculum;
and to provide leadership and command and mentoring training for all
pilots in command. This final rule will mitigate incidents of
unprofessional pilot behavior and reduce pilot errors that can lead to
a catastrophic event.
    Summary: The final rule requires the development and approval of
new and revised training curriculums for the following:
     Leadership and command and mentoring ground training for
pilots currently serving as PIC (Sec.  121.429) and recurrent PIC
leadership and command and mentoring training (Sec. Sec.  121.409(b)
and 121.427);
     Leadership and command training and recurrent leadership
and command training for pilots serving as SIC in operations that
require three or more pilots (Sec.  121.432(a));
     Upgrade training curriculum requirements (Sec. Sec.
121.420 and 121.426);
     Part 121 appendix H requirements; and
     Approval of Qualification Standards Document for
certificate holders using an Advanced Qualification Program (AQP)
(Sec.  121.909).
    The final rule also requires some additional recordkeeping related
to maintaining records of pilots completing the following:
     Leadership and command and mentoring ground training for
pilots currently serving as PIC (Sec.  121.429);
     Leadership and command training and recurrent leadership
and command training for pilots serving as SIC in operations that
require three or more pilots (Sec.  121.432(a));
     Recurrent PIC leadership and command and mentoring ground
training (Sec.  121.427); and
     Operations familiarization for new-hire pilots (Sec.
121.435).
    Use: This information will be used to ensure safety-of-flight by
making certain that adequate training is obtained and maintained by
those who operate under part 121. The FAA will review the respondents'
training programs and

training courseware through routine certification, inspection and
surveillance of certificate holders using part 121 pilot training and
qualification programs to ensure compliance and adherence to
regulations and, where necessary, to take enforcement action.
    Respondents: As of February 2017, there were 79 certificate holders
who use part 121 pilot training and qualification programs. They
collectively employed 39,122 PICs and 42,227 SICs.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion. Responses will
vary based on type of operation.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Burden per Operator varies
per operation.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 206 hours.
