SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-409, OMB Control No. 3235-0467]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 102

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 102 of Regulation M (17
CFR 242.102), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of
information to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for
extension and approval.
    Rule 102--Activities by Issuers and Selling Security Holders During
a Distribution--prohibits distribution participants, issuers, and
selling security holders from purchasing activities at specified times
during a distribution of securities. Persons otherwise covered by this
rule may seek to use several applicable exceptions such as exclusion
for actively traded reference securities and the maintenance of
policies regarding information barriers between their affiliates.
    There are approximately 1,361 respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of 2,261 hours to comply with this rule. Each
respondent makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes on
average approximately 1.661 hours to complete. Thus, the total hour
burden per year is approximately 2,261 hours. The total internal
compliance cost for all respondents is approximately $183,141.00,
resulting in an internal cost of compliance per respondent of
approximately $134.56 (i.e., $183,141.00/1,361 respondents).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by
April 4, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:
[email protected].

    Dated: January 30, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8083]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), that are scheduled for suspension on the effective
dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the
floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the
community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior
to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension
will not occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in
the Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact David Stearrett, Mitigation Directorate,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under
the NFIP, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an appropriate public body
adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed in this document no longer
meet that statutory requirement for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the third column. As of that date,
flood insurance will no longer be available in the community. However,
some of these communities may adopt and submit the required
documentation of legally enforceable floodplain management measures
after this rule is published but prior to the actual suspension date.
These communities will not be suspended and will continue their
eligibility for the sale of insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of the communities will be published in the Federal
Register.
    In addition, FEMA has identified the Special Flood Hazard Areas
(SFHAs) in these communities by publishing a Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM). The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated
in the fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial
assistance (except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may legally be provided for construction or acquisition of
buildings in identified SFHAs for communities not participating in the
NFIP and identified for more than a year, on FEMA's initial flood
insurance map of the community as having flood-prone areas (section
202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a),
as amended). This

prohibition against certain types of Federal assistance becomes
effective for the communities listed on the date shown in the last
column. The Administrator finds that notice and public comment under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate
public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with
effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in the communities unless
remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Site Scoring Information

    The Leeds Metal HRS site score at the time of proposal to the
National Priorities List was based on an observed release to ground
water of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE)
attributable to waste piles and contaminated soil at the Leeds Metal
facility resulting in a likelihood of release factor category value of
550. The waste characteristics factor category value of 56 at proposal
was based on a hazardous waste quantity for TCE of 10,000, a toxicity
value for TCE of 10,000 and a mobility factor for TCE of 1. The TCE
toxicity value was based on the most recent health effects data review
by the EPA at the time of proposal (76 FR 57702, September 16, 2011).
    The targets factor category value was 176.4 at proposal based on
populations relying on contaminated drinking water supplies with either
PCE or TCE levels above HRS health-based benchmarks (i.e., Level I
concentrations). Seven residential wells were documented to contain
Level I concentrations of TCE based on the lowest benchmark value for
TCE for ground water. One of these seven wells was also documented to
contain Level I concentrations of PCE based on the lowest benchmark
value for TCE for ground water. The lowest benchmark for TCE was the
cancer slope screening concentration (0.21 [mu]g/L) and the lowest
benchmark for PCE was also the cancer slope screening concentration
(1.6 [mu]g/L) based on the most recent health effects data review by
the EPA at the time of proposal. Seventeen residents were documented to
drink the water from the seven wells with Level I concentrations. The
likelihood of release, waste characteristics and targets factor
category values resulted in a ground water migration pathway score of
100.00 and an HRS site score of 50.00 at proposal (see 76 FR 57702,
September 16, 2011).

Background on TCE and PCE Benchmarks and Toxicity Values

    Following the September 16, 2011, proposal of the Leeds Metal site
to the National Priorities List, the toxicity and benchmark values for
PCE and TCE used in HRS scoring were updated to reflect the EPA's most
recent health effects evaluations on these two substances. The
revisions for these two substances were made available to the public on
March 31, 2012 (see http://www.epa.gov/superfund/sites/npl/hrsres/tools/scdm.htm). Among the factors that changed, which affect the
toxicity and drinking water benchmarks, are the oral reference dose
(RfD) and the oral cancer slope factors. Using the HRS methods for
determining toxicity and benchmarks (see HRS Sections <IP_ADDRESS> and
2.5.2), the toxicity for TCE has changed from 10,000 to 1,000, however
the toxicity for PCE remains the same at 100. When recalculating the
drinking water benchmarks for TCE, the lowest TCE benchmark value for
drinking water remains based on the cancer slope screening
concentrations; the recalculated TCE benchmark value changes from 0.21
[mu]g/L to 1.0 [mu]g/L. The lowest drinking water benchmark for PCE
changes from 1.6 [mu]g/L to 5.0 [mu]g/L.

Background on Targets Factor Category Value

    Based on the changes to the TCE and PCE benchmarks, two drinking
water wells within the 4-mile target distance limit have TCE
concentrations above its lowest benchmark and no well had PCE
concentrations above its lowest benchmark. Thus, now only two wells and
the population using these wells are considered Level I.
    The Leeds Metal site's potential population factor value has been
updated to reflect those people utilizing drinking water not currently
found to be contaminated due to this site, but that for HRS purposes
are considered potentially threatened. The basic information supporting
the calculation of this value was presented in Reference 11 which was
available to the public at the time of NPL proposal; however, the
factor value was not included in the HRS documentation record at that
time. Populations utilizing either public or private water supplies
have been incorporated into the HRS evaluation based on the information
in Reference 11 to the HRS documentation record at proposal, which
relied on 1990 and 2000 census data and 2009 population data from the
State of Maine. The impact on eligibility of the site to qualify for
the NPL has been confirmed based on the most current information,
including updated census data (2010) and 2012 well use information.

New Benchmarks, Toxicities, Targets and Site Score

    Due to the revised toxicity values and the update to the evaluation
of the potential targets, the likelihood of release factor category
value remains 550, the same as at proposal; the waste characteristics
factor category value, which was 100 at proposal, drops to 56 due to
the changes in the Level I wells; the potential population factor
value, the applicable targets factor category value, changes from 220
to 176.4. As a result of these updates, the HRS ground water migration
pathway score changes from 100.00 to 65.85; and the HRS site score
changes from 50.00 to 32.92. The NPL listing decision is not changed by
this updated information and scoring.
    The updated HRS scoring documentation is available in
www.regulations.gov under docket number EPA-HQ-SFUND-2011-0647.

(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 30, 2008, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''
or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange
has designated the proposed rule change as a ``non-controversial''
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective
upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this

persons.

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

    The ISE proposes to amend Rule 1614--Imposition of Fines for Minor
Rule Violations to increase the summary fines for violations of Rule
412--Position Limits. The text of the proposed rule change is available
at ISE, http://www.ise.com, and the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant 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 increase and strengthen the sanctions
imposed pursuant to its Minor Rule Violation Plan (``MRVP'') in
connection with any member or customer who exceeds the Exchange's
position limits in accordance with Exchange Rule 412. The Exchange
believes that increasing the fine levels specified, consolidating
individual members, member organizations, and customers into one
category, and lengthening the surveillance period from a 12-month
period to a rolling 24-month period will serve as an effective
deterrent to such violative conduct. In addition, the Exchange, as a
member of the Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG''), as well as
certain other self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') on October 29,
2007 executed and filed with the Commission a final version of an
Agreement pursuant to Section 17(d) of the Act (the ``17d-2
Agreement'').\5\ The members of the ISG intend to enter into an
amendment to the 17d-2 Agreement in the near future concerning the
surveillance and sanctions of position limit violations. As such, the
SROs have agreed that their respective rules concerning position limits
regarding options contracts are common rules. As a result, the proposal
to amend the Exchange's MRVP will further result in consistency in
sanctions among the SROs that are signatories to the 17d-2 Agreement
and the forthcoming amendment concerning position limit violations.

    \5\ See Letter to Richard Holley, Division of Market Regulation,
Securities and Exchange Commission from Nyieri Nazarian, Assistant
General Counsel, American Stock Exchange, October 29, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirement under Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in
particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and to protect investors and the public interest
in that it is designed to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. Additionally, this proposed
rule change will promote consistency in minor rule violations and
respective SRO reporting obligations as set forth pursuant to Section
240.19d-1(c)(2) of the Act.\8\

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

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

    The proposed rule change will not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written

comments from members or other interested parties.

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

    The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder \10\ because
the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) does not impose
any significant burden on competition; and (3) by its terms, does not
become operative for 30 days after the date of filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization to give the
Commission notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and 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. ISE has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay and designate the proposed rule change as operative upon filing.
The Commission hereby grants the Exchange's request and believes that
doing so is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest.\12\ The Exchange's proposed rule change is based on a similar
proposal that was previously approved by the Commission \13\ and does
not raise any novel or significant issues. Therefore, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
    \13\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58119 (July 8,
2008), 73 FR 40646 (July 15, 2008) (SR-CBOE-2008-53).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2020-N-1538]

Prescription Drug User Fee Act; Stakeholder Consultation Meetings
on the Prescription Drug User Fee Act Reauthorization; Request for
Notification of Stakeholder Intention to Participate

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice; request for notification of participation.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is issuing
this notice to request that public stakeholders--including patient and
consumer advocacy groups, healthcare professionals, and scientific and
academic experts--notify FDA of their intent to participate in periodic
consultation meetings on the reauthorization of the Prescription Drug
User Fee Act (PDUFA). The statutory authority for PDUFA expires in
September 2022. At that time, new legislation will be required for FDA
to continue collecting user fees for the prescription drug program. The
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) requires that FDA
consult with a range of stakeholders in developing recommendations for
the next PDUFA program. The FD&C Act also requires that FDA hold
discussions (at least every month) with patient and consumer advocacy
groups during FDA's negotiations with the regulated industry. The
purpose of this request for notification is to ensure continuity and
progress in these monthly discussions by establishing consistent
stakeholder representation.

DATES: Submit notification of intention to participate in these series
of meetings by August 17, 2020. Stakeholder meetings will be held
monthly. It is anticipated that they will commence in September 2020.
See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for registration date and
information.

ADDRESSES: The meetings will take place virtually and will be held by
webcast only. Submit notification of intention to participate in
monthly stakeholder meetings by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Graham Thompson, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 1146, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is requesting that public stakeholders--including patient and
consumer advocacy groups, healthcare professionals, and scientific and
academic experts--notify the Agency of their intent to participate in
periodic stakeholder consultation meetings on the reauthorization of
PDUFA. PDUFA authorizes FDA to collect user fees from the regulated
industry for the process for the review of human drugs. The
authorization for the current program (PDUFA VI) expires in September
2022. Without new legislation, FDA will no longer be able to collect
user fees for future fiscal years to fund the human drug review
process.
    Section 736B(f)(1) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 379h-2(f)(1))
requires that FDA consult with a range of stakeholders, including
representatives from patient and consumer groups, healthcare
professionals, and scientific and academic experts, in developing
recommendations for the next PDUFA program. FDA will initiate the
reauthorization process by holding a public meeting on July 23, 2020,
where stakeholders and other members of the public will be given an
opportunity to present their views on the reauthorization. The FD&C Act
further requires that FDA continue meeting with these stakeholders at
least once every month during negotiations with the regulated industry
to continue discussions of stakeholder views on the reauthorization. It
is anticipated that these monthly stakeholder consultation meetings
will commence in September 2020.
    FDA is issuing this Federal Register notice to request that
stakeholder representatives from patient and consumer groups,
healthcare professional associations, as well as scientific and
academic experts, notify FDA of their intent to participate in the
periodic stakeholder consultation meetings on PDUFA reauthorization.
FDA believes that consistent stakeholder representation at these
meetings will be important to ensure progress in these discussions. If
you wish to participate in the stakeholder consultation meetings,
please designate one or more representatives from your organization who
will commit to attending these meetings and preparing for the
discussions. Stakeholders who identify themselves through this notice
will be included in all stakeholder consultation discussions while FDA

negotiates with the regulated industry. If a stakeholder decides to
participate in these monthly meetings at a later time, that stakeholder
may join the remaining monthly stakeholder consultation meetings after
notifying FDA of this intention (see ADDRESSES). These stakeholder
discussions will satisfy the consultation requirement in section
736B(f)(3) of the FD&C Act.

II. Notification of Intent To Participate in Periodic Stakeholder
Consultation Meetings

    If you intend to participate in continued periodic stakeholder
consultation meetings regarding PDUFA reauthorization, please provide
notification by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>by August 17,
2020. Your email should contain complete contact information, including
name, title, affiliation, address, email address, phone number, and
notice of any special accommodations required because of disability.
Stakeholders will receive confirmation and additional information about
the first meeting after FDA receives this notification.

    Dated: July 1. 2020.

Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 [Project No. 2155-000]

Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation

August 8, 2007.
    On July 15, 2005, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, licensee for
the Chili Bar Hydroelectric Project, filed an application for a new or
subsequent license pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission's regulations. The Chili Bar Project is located on the South
Fork American River in El Dorado, near Placerville, California.
    The license for Project No. 2155 was issued for a period ending
July 31, 2007. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 2155 is issued to
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, for a period effective August 1, 2007
through July 31, 2008, or until the issuance of a new license for the
project or other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If
issuance of a new license (or other disposition) does not take place on
or before July 31, 2008, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18
CFR 16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is
renewed automatically without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise. If the project is
not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
Pacific Gas and Electric Company is authorized to continue operation of
the Chili Bar Project until such time as the Commission acts on its
application for a subsequent license.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
