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

    The MSRB is filing with the SEC a proposed rule change consisting
of amendments to Rule A-3, on membership on the Board, in order to
establish a Nominating Committee in compliance with MSRB transitional
Rule A-3(i).
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the MSRB's Web
site at http://www.msrb.org/Rules-and-Interpretations/SEC-Filings/2010-Filings.aspx, at the MSRB's principal office, 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 MSRB 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 Board 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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to make changes to MSRB
Rule A-3(c) as are necessary and appropriate prior to the creation of
the Nominating Committee of the MSRB (hereinafter, ``Nominating and
Governance Committee''). On September 30, 2010, the SEC approved MSRB
Rule A-3(i), a transitional rule for MSRB fiscal year 2011 intended to
implement the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (the
``Dodd-Frank Act'').\3\ The transitional rule provides that on or after
October 1, 2010, and prior to the formation of the Nominating Committee
for purposes of nominating Board members for fiscal year 2012, the
Board will amend the provisions of Rule A-3(c) to (a) reflect the
composition of the Board as provided under the Dodd-Frank Act, (b)
assure that the Nominating Committee will be composed of a majority of
public members and will have fair representation of broker-dealers,
bank dealers, and municipal advisors, and (c) reflect such other
considerations consistent with the provisions of Section 15B of the Act
and the Dodd-Frank Act as the Board deems appropriate. The proposed
rule change is intended to amend Rule A-3(c) to comply with the
requirements of transitional Rule A-3(i), as approved by the SEC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 63025 (Sep. 30, 2010), 75 FR
61806 (Oct. 6, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendments to Rule A-3(c)

    Consistent with Rule A-3(i), the Nominating and Governance
Committee would consist of eleven members, six of whom would be public
members and five of whom would be industry members. The Chair of the
Committee would be a public member. Establishing an eleven member
committee will allow for fair representation of regulated entities by
reserving five positions for brokers, dealers, municipal securities
dealers and municipal advisors.
    Each constituency identified in the Dodd-Frank Act would be
guaranteed a minimum of one seat on the Nominating and Governance
Committee but the level of each constituency would be capped to avoid
overweighting of any one over the others.
    These ranges of membership are as follows:
     Six public members consisting of (a) At least one, but no
more than three, representative of institutional or retail investors;
(b) at least one, but no more than three, representative of municipal
entities; (c) at least one, but no more than three, members of the
public with knowledge of or experience in the municipal industry and
not representative of investors or municipal entities; \4\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In order to ensure balance on the committee and reflect the
breadth of public representatives on the Board, the proposal would
require one to three committee members be selected from Board
members who are not representative of municipal entities or
investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     five regulated members, consisting of (a) at least one,
but no more than two, representative of broker-dealers; (b) at least
one, but no more than two, representative of bank dealers; and (c) at
least one, but no more than two, representative of non-dealer municipal
advisors.
    The Board believes this formulation is consistent with the Dodd-
Frank Act and Rule A-3(i) in that it provides for a majority of public
members on the Committee and fair representation of regulated entities.
The MSRB also believes it is important that the Chair of the Nominating
and Governance Committee be a public member, both as a governance best
practice and in recognition of the majority of public members on the
Board, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act.
    The Board also proposes certain administrative amendments to Rule
A-3(c). First, the rule change provides that members may serve
staggered terms, which are terms that do not commence and conclude on
the same date thereby creating groups or classes of directors. The
Board had been divided previously into three classes of five members
per class. Each year, one class would conclude its service. In order to
comply with the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board modified this structure to
accommodate a 21 member Board. While the terms are staggered currently,
the new group of 11 Board members is serving a two year transitional
term, while the other members continue to serve three year terms. The
Board is currently evaluating the appropriate term for new Board
members, but expects that terms will continue to be staggered in order
to relieve the burden on the Nominating and Governance Committee of
replacing the entire Board in any one year and in order to ensure the
continuity and consistency of the Board.
    Next, the proposed rule change reflects that Board members may only
serve consecutive terms under two scenarios: (a) By invitation from the
Nominating and Governance Committee due to special circumstances as
determined by the Board, such as where a Board member possesses special
expertise needed by the Board that is not possessed by other Board
members or generally by persons in the pool of potential candidates for
Board membership; or (b) having filled a vacancy under Rule A-3(e) and,
therefore, served only a partial term.
    The Board also proposes revisions to Rule A-3(c) to provide that it
will solicit nominations for Board membership in a financial journal
having national circulation among members of the municipal securities
industry, as well as a financial journal having general national
circulation. This change is proposed because potential public members
and certain types of municipal advisors may not read municipal
securities newspapers or periodicals regularly. Finally, the Board
proposes changes to Rule A-3(c) to require the publishing on the
Board's Web site of the names of all applicants for Board
membership.\5\ Such publication is intended to make the nominating
process more transparent. Some commentators on the transitional Rule A-
3 amendments made suggestions regarding improving transparency of the
MSRB's election process, and the Board believes the practice of
publishing the names of all Board applicants will provide more
transparency regarding the nominating process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In some cases, a person may be recommended to the MSRB for
membership on the Board but he or she may not wish to be considered.
Any person who declines to be considered would not be treated as an
applicant and his or her name would not be published.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The MSRB has adopted the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
15B(b)(2)(B) of the Act, which provides that the MSRB's rules shall:

    establish fair procedures for the nomination and election of
members of the Board and assure fair representation in such
nominations and elections of public representatives, broker dealer
representatives, bank representatives, and advisor representatives.

    The MSRB believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 15B(b) of the Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, in that it
would provide for the creation of an MSRB Nominating and Governance
Committee

that reflects the composition of the Board as provided under the Dodd-
Frank Act and would assure that the Nominating and Governance Committee
be composed of a majority of public members and have fair
representation of broker-dealers, bank dealers, and municipal advisors,
consistent with MSRB Rule A-3(i) as approved by the SEC.

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

    The Board does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act since it is solely concerned
with the administration of the MSRB and, in any event, provides for
fair representation on the Nominating and Governance Committee of
public representatives, broker dealer representatives, bank dealer
representatives and municipal advisor representatives.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received on the
proposed rule change.

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 (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. The Commission seeks comment on all
aspects of the MSRB's proposed rule change, including the proposed
composition of the Nominating and Governance Committee and whether the
number and proportion of public representatives, broker-dealer
representatives, bank representatives, and advisor representatives is
appropriate. Because the MSRB, under the Dodd-Frank Act, is now
proposing and adopting rules with respect to the activities of two
distinct categories of market participants--municipal securities
dealers and municipal securities advisors--the Commission seeks comment
on whether the proposed structure of the MSRB Nominating and Governance
Committee will assure that the interests of each constituency are
fairly represented. Are there alternative Nominating and Governance
Committee structures or other arrangements that would better achieve
these goals? Is the proposed process for soliciting nominations for
Board membership an appropriate method of identifying applicants? Will
the nomination process be sufficiently transparent? Comments may be
submitted by any of the following methods:

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background and Purpose

    On December 4, 2018, (83 FR 62532), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
NPRM proposed approval of a 2011 base year emissions inventory, an
emissions statement certification, revisions to an existing stationary
source registration program, and requirements to be undertaken during
air pollution emergencies. The 2011 emissions inventory and the
emissions statement

certification submittals were made to meet, in part, requirements for
marginal nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS). The Commonwealth revised its stationary
source registration program primarily to match the lead reporting
threshold within 40 CFR part 51, subpart A. Massachusetts submitted its
regulation governing procedures during air pollution emergencies to
meet the infrastructure planning requirement found within section
110(a)(2)(G) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Other specific requirements of
the Commonwealth's SIP revisions and the rationale for our proposed
action are explained in the NPRM and will not be restated here.
    We did not receive any comments on our NPRM.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving SIP revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts representing a 2011 base year emissions inventory, an
emissions statement certification, and revisions to 310 CMR 7.12,
Source Registration. We are also converting our previous conditional
approval of 310 CMR 8.00, The Prevention and/or Abatement of Air
Pollution Episodes and Air Pollution Incident Emergencies, to a full
approval.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of 310 CMR
7.12, Source Registration, and 310 CMR 8.00, The Prevention and/or
Abatement of Air Pollution Episodes and Air Pollution Incident
Emergencies, described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 1 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 State implementation plan, 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 by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. 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, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, 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);
     This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory
action because this action is not significant 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 Clean Air Act; 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).
    In addition, 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    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 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 May 3, 2019. 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).)

    (e) The Commonwealth of Massachusetts submitted base year emission
inventories representing emissions for calendar year 2011 for the Dukes
county marginal 8-hour ozone nonattainment area on February 9, 2018, as
a revision to the Massachusetts SIP. The 2011 base year emission
inventory requirement of section 182(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, as

consists of emission estimates of volatile organic compounds and
nitrogen oxides, and applies to point, area, non-road mobile, on-road
mobile and biogenic sources. The inventories were submitted as
revisions to the Massachusetts SIP in partial fulfillment of
obligations for nonattainment areas under EPA's 2008 8-hour ozone
standard.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Compatibility Program Notice; Fort Worth Alliance Airport,
Fort Worth, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
Fort Worth Alliance Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et
seq. (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred
to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR Part 150 by the city of Fort Worth,
Texas. This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA
that associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for
Fort Worth Alliance Airport were in compliance with applicable
requirements, effective May 5, 2009, and published in the Federal
Register on May 14, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 92, Page 22802). The
proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on
or before January 25, 2011.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the start of FAA's review
of the noise compatibility program is July 30, 2010. The public comment
period ends September 28, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: DOT/FAA Southwest Region, Mr. Paul
Blackford, ASW-650, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas 76137,
(817) 222-5607. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility program
should also be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for Fort Worth
Alliance Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before
January 25, 2011. This notice also announces the availability of this
program for public review and comment.
    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act,
may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets
forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce
existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional
non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
Fort Worth Alliance Airport, effective on July 28, 2010. The airport
operator has requested that the FAA review this material and that the
noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and
surrounding communities, be approved as a noise compatibility program
under Section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to FAR Part 150 requirements for
the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but that further review
will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before January 25, 2011.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR Part 150, Section 150.33. The primary
considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed
measures may reduce the level of aviation safety or create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign commerce, and whether they are
reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-
compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-
compatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program
with specific reference to these factors. All comments relating to
these factors, other than those properly addressed to local land use
authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Copies of the noise exposure maps and the proposed noise compatibility
program are available for examination at the following locations:
    1. Federal Aviation Administration, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort
Worth, Texas.
    2. Mr. Kent Penney, Airport Systems Director, City of Fort Worth,
Aviation Department, 4201 N. Main Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, July 30, 2010.
Kelvin L. Solco,
Manager, Airports Division.
