SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to change Airport Property from aeronautical use to non-
aeronautical use at the Williamsport Regional Airport under the
provisions of section 47125(a) of title 49 U.S.C. On August 12, 2015,
the FAA determined that the request to lease airport property for non-
aeronautical purpose at the Williamsport Regional Airport (IPT),
Montoursville, Pennsylvania, submitted by the Williamsport Municipal
Airport Authority (Authority) met the procedural requirements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Authority requests the change in use to lease approximately
35.43 acres of airport property to Hanson Aggregates Pennsylvania LLC,
of Allentown, Pennsylvania to mine for sand and gravel. The land was
acquired without Federal participation. The undeveloped property is
located in the Borough of Montoursville, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania,
immediately north of the Susquehanna River and adjacent to and south of
the Williamsport Regional Airport. Hanson is proposing to lease the
property for a period of twenty (20) years with an optional 5-year
extension, for purposes of mining sand and gravel. As shown on the
Airport Layout Plan, the property does not serve an aeronautical
purpose and is not needed for future airport development. In lieu of a
Fair Market Value (FMV) lease, Hanson will pay the Authority a royalty
of $0.25 per ton for the first year of the lease, with a yearly
escalator based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producers Price Index
(PPI) for sand and gravel. The anticipated tonnage to be mined within
this area is approximately 4,000,000 tons. Also, Hanson also will
convey 7.07 acres of property to the Authority at no cost, for use by
the Authority for aeronautical purposes. Finally, Hanson will release
the Authority's obligations from a mining permit on 16.403 acres of
property

currently owned by the Authority and leased to Hanson.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office
address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the
proposed lease. All comments will be considered by the FAA to the
extent practicable.

    Issued in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, August 12, 2015.
Lori K. Pagnanelli,
Manager, Harrisburg Airports District Office.

On Tuesday, March 20, 2018, representatives from Strategic Materials, Inc., EHS Abrasives, and GMA Garnet met with OSHA to discuss issues related to the beryllium content of coal slag, as opposed to alternative abrasive media, and the beryllium standard for construction and shipyards. The presenters represent glass and garnet recyclers. They stated their materials are a cost-effective way to avoid beryllium exposure in abrasive blasting. They stated that the beryllium rule is correct as written because ancillary provisions allow workers to know what is in the materials they are working with, and they have a right to know what they are being exposed to. They stated that medical surveillance in particular is important for this reason. They brought an empty Harsco bag of coal slag to point out that the writing on the bag says beryllium is a nuisance dust and implies that coal slag is safe. They questioned whether existing respiratory protection for abrasive blasters is sufficient.

Participants:
 Paul J. Mellon Jr., Strategic Materials Inc., Director of Government Affairs
 Bronce Henderson, EHS Abrasives, President
 Pete Mitchell, GMA Garnet, Vice President of Sales
 Loren Sweatt, Deputy Assistant Secretary, OSHA
 Maureen Ruskin, Deputy Director, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA
 Radha Vishnuvajjala, Attorney, Office of the Solicitor, Department of Labor

Insurance Company of New York, Allianz Life of NY Variable Account C
(collectively, the ``Section 26 Applicants''); and Allianz Variable
Insurance Products Trust (together with the Section 26 Applicants, the
``Section 17 Applicants'') filed an application on November 16, 2015,
and an amended and restated application on June 27, 2016. The Section
26 Applicants requested an order pursuant to section 26(c) of the Act
to approve the substitutions of shares of certain registered management
investment companies with shares of certain other registered management
investment companies (``Substitutions''). The Section 17 Applicants
requested an order under section 17(b) of the Act exempting them from
section 17(a) of the Act to the extent necessary to permit them to
engage in certain in-kind transactions in connection with the
Substitutions.
    On August 3, 2016, a notice of the filing of the application was
issued (Investment Company Act Release No. 32207). The notice gave
interested persons an opportunity to request a hearing and stated that
an order disposing of the application would be issued unless a hearing
was ordered. No request for a hearing has been filed, and the
Commission has not ordered a hearing.
    The matter has been considered, and it is found that the
Substitutions are consistent with the protection of investors and the
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
    It is also found that the terms of the proposed transactions,
including the consideration to be paid or received, are reasonable and
fair and do not involve overreaching on the part of any person
concerned, and that the proposed transactions are consistent with the
policy of each registered investment company concerned, as recited in
its registration statement and reports filed under the Act, and with
the general purposes of the Act.
    Accordingly, in the matter of Allianz Life Insurance Company of
North America, et al. (File No. 812-14580),
    It is ordered, under section 26(c) of the Act, that the proposed
Substitutions are approved, effective immediately, subject to the
conditions contained in the application, as amended.
    It is further ordered, under section 17(b) of the Act, that the
requested exemption from section 17(a) of the Act is granted, effective
immediately, subject to the conditions contained in the application, as
amended.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Robert W. Errett,
Deputy Secretary.
