SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70545; File No. SR-OCC-2013-15]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Correct an Inadvertent Omission in a Prior Rule Change Filing Related
to the Definition of Hedge Clearing Member

September 27, 2013.
    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 September 19, 2013, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change described in Items I, II and III below, which
Items have been prepared primarily by OCC. OCC filed the proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) \3\ of the Act and Rule
19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \4\ thereunder, so that the proposal was effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the rule change from interested parties.

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    OCC proposes to correct an inadvertent omission in a prior rule
change filing related to the definition of Hedge Clearing Member.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC 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. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to correct an
inadvertent omission in a prior rule change filing related to the
definition of ``Hedge Clearing Member'' in OCC's By-Laws (``By-Laws'').
By way of background, in 2002 OCC proposed, and the SEC approved,
certain rule changes to OCC's Stock Loan/Hedge Program (``Hedge
Program'') (SR-OCC-2002-11).\5\ As part of that proposed rule change,
OCC deleted and relocated an existing interpretation to Article V,
Section 1 relating to the designation of a Hedge Clearing Member. In
connection with relocating the interpretation, OCC also amended the
interpretation so that designation as a Hedge Clearing Member was no
longer pre-conditioned upon the Clearing Member also being a Stock
Clearing Member. However, a concurrent change to the definition of
Hedge Clearing Member was not made at that time, thereby creating an
inconsistency between the description of Hedge Clearing Member found in
Article V of the By-Laws and the definition of Hedge Clearing Member
found in Article I of the By-Laws. OCC now proposes to resolve this
inconsistency by making a technical correction to the definition of
Hedge Clearing Member in Article I of the By-Laws so that it is
consistent with the description of Hedge Clearing Member found in
Article V of the By-Laws.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Securities and Exchange Act Release No. 34-47898 (May 21,
2003), 68 FR 32164 (May 29, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, through SR-OCC-2002-11, OCC made certain
changes its Hedge Program. One such change was that OCC determined that
it was no longer necessary to require that a Hedge Clearing Member
initially be designated as a ``Stock'' Clearing Member and,
accordingly, updated Article V of the By-Laws. However, through an
inadvertent oversight, a concurrent change to Article I of the By-Laws
was not made at that time. Accordingly, OCC now proposes to make a
technical correction to the Article I definition of Hedge Clearing
Member so that it is consistent with the description of Hedge Clearing
Member found in Article V of the By-Laws by removing the reference to
``Stock'' Clearing Member from the definition of Hedge Clearing Member.
This proposed change will resolve the inconsistency within the By-Laws
with respect to the definition of Hedge Clearing Member.
    The proposed change to OCC's By-Laws is consistent with the
purposes and requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) \6\ of the Act \7\
and Rule 17Ad-22(d)(2) \8\ thereunder because it will prevent unfair
discrimination in the admission of participants, or among participants,
in the use of OCC's Hedge Program and ensure that OCC's By-Laws are
reasonably designed to have participation requirements that are
objective, publicly disclosed and permit fair and open access. The
proposed changes are also intended to remove potential impediments to,
and will perfect the mechanism of a national system for, the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions.

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impact, or
impose a burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change, which will
apply to all clearing members, is administrative in nature and will
correct an inconsistency within OCC's By-Laws. Accordingly, the
proposed change will reduce unnecessary administrative burdens on its
clearing members, including any such burdens that may impact
competition.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were not and are not
intended to be solicited with respect to the proposed rule change and
none have been received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \10\
thereunder, the proposed rule change is filed for immediate
effectiveness inasmuch as it constitutes

a stated policy, practice or interpretation with respect to the
meaning, administration or enforcement of an existing rule. OCC will
delay the implementation of the rule change until it is deemed
certified under CFTC Regulation Sec.  40.6. At any time within 60 days
of the filing of such 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.\11\

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:	Review of the Comments on the Reregistration Eligibility
Decision (RED) for Dodine

TO:	Cathryn O’Connell, Chemical Review Manager

	Special Review and Reregistration Division

FROM:	Marietta Echeverria, Environmental Scientist

THROUGH:	Elizabeth Behl, Branch Chief

	Environmental Risk Branch IV

	Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P)

	The Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) has completed review
of comments received from the California Pear Advisory Board and the
North Central Integrated Management Center in response to the
reregistration eligibility decision (RED) for dodine.  Each of the
submitted comments is addressed below.

North Central Integrated Pest Management Center:

“Specify medium to coarse droplet size - The increase to coarser
droplet size is inefficient and isn't logical.  Most of the cherry
growers use an air curtain type sprayer which has the lowest drift
potential of the sprayers available but uses a small droplet.  It
delivers a horizontal distribution for the spray and blows air up above
the pesticide to hold the pesticide spray in the canopy.  If growers had
to go to coarser droplet sizes they would have to switch sprayers and
use higher rates of the product.  The curtain type sprayers are much
more efficient than the non-curtain sprayers."

EFED Response:  The purpose of the proposed label language is to reduce
the potential of off-site transport resulting from spray drift.  The RED
currently limits droplet size to “medium coarser spray (ASAE standard
572)”.  Droplet size, along with release height and wind speed, is one
of the driving variables that can influence off-site transport resulting
from spray drift.  It is possible that certain spray equipment can
reduce spray drift if the spray is directed below horizontal.  The
Agency, however, is unaware of data quantifying the spray drift
potential for these types of air curtain type sprayers that are common
practice for the cherry growers.  If there were data quantifying the
spray drift potential from these types of sprayers, the data could be
used to support spray drift management label language which is specific
to these types of sprayers.

California Pear Advisory Board:

“We are asking for an increase from two (2) to three (3) applications
in the ‘New Maximum/Rescue Application Rate (lbs. a.i./acre)’ as
outlined on Table 23, page 49 of the RED.  We are not asking for any
increase in the ‘New Yearly Maximum Application Rates’ of 7.8 lbs
a.i./A/yr.”

EFED Response: The ecological risk assessment done in support of the
Reregistration Eligibility Decision  (RED) evaluated the potential
exposure resulting from applications to pears at a maximum rate of 1.95
lbs ai/A for 6 applications made per year with a reapplication interval
of 5 days (annual rate of 11.7 lbs ai/A/yr).  At this annual rate, the
assessment identified potential acute risk to freshwater invertebrates,
risk to aquatic non-vascular plants, and acute and chronic risk to birds
and mammals.

The proposed RED imposed the risk mitigation measures that resulted in a
reduced maximum typical application rate of 1.3 lbs ai/A with a maximum
of 4 applications per year and a maximum rescue rate of 1.95 lbs ai/A
allowed for 2 applications per year, resulting in a maximum yearly rate
not to exceed 9.1 lbs ai/A/year to pears.  EFED has not quantitatively
evaluated the potential exposures resulting from the mitigated use
patterns as specified in the RED.  However, the ecological risk
assessment did evaluate the potential risk resulting from a yearly
application rate of 7.8 lbs ai/A/year to cherries.  At this lower yearly
rate, the assessment still identified acute risk to freshwater
invertebrates, risk to aquatic non-vascular plants, and acute and
chronic risk to birds and mammals.

The California Pear Advisory Board is requesting an increase in the
number of applications allowed at the maximum rescue rate from 2 to 3
applications per year without an increase to the maximum allowed yearly
rate of 9.1 lbs ai/A/year.  The request will not result in an increase
in yearly load of dodine into the environment and it is therefore not
expected to result in significant changes in potential chronic
exposures.  The increase in the number of applications at the proposed
rescue rate could result in an increase in acute exposures if the rescue
rates are made consecutively.  The Advisory Board states that the
decision about which rate to use is being made on the expected
meteorological conditions and with the help of real-time spore trapping
data.

Commission's Public Reference Branch, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC
20549-0102 (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>).

Applicants' Representations

    1. The Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the
Act as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently
is comprised of two series (``Funds''), each with separate investment
objectives, policies, and restrictions.\1\ The Manager, a Virginia
limited liability company, is registered as an investment adviser under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers Act'') and serves as
investment manager to the Trust and each of the Funds pursuant to an
investment management agreement (``Management Agreement''). The
Management Agreement has been approved by the Trust's board of trustees
(``Board''), including a majority of the trustees who are not
``interested persons,'' as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Act, of
the Trust or the Manager (``Independent Trustees''), as well as by the
shareholders of each Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants also request relief with respect to future series
of the Trust and any other existing or future registered open-end
management investment company or series thereof that: (a) Is advised
by the Manager; (b) uses the management structure as described in
the application; and (c) complies with the terms and conditions of
the application (included in the term ``Fund''). The only existing
registered open-end management investment company that currently
intends to rely on the requested order is named as an applicant. If
the name of any Fund contains the name of a Sub-Adviser (as defined
below), the name of the Manager will precede the name of the Sub-
Adviser.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible for
providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Funds,
subject to oversight by the Board. The Management Agreement permits the
Manager to enter into a separate sub-advisory agreement (``Sub-Advisory
Agreement'') with one or more sub-advisers (each, a ``Sub-Adviser'') to
carry out the investment program of a Fund, subject to the approval of
the Board and the shareholders of the Fund. The Adviser has entered
into Sub-Advisory Agreements with two Sub-Advisers. Each Sub-Adviser is
registered

as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. The Manager monitors
and evaluates the Sub-Advisers and makes recommendations to the Board,
regarding their hiring, retention and termination. The shareholders and
the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approve
the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Manager compensates each Sub-Adviser
out of the fees paid to the Manager under the Management Agreement.
    3. Applicants request relief to permit the Manager, subject to
Board approval, to enter into and materially amend Sub-Advisory
Agreements for the Funds without shareholder approval. The requested
relief will not extend to any Sub-Adviser that is an ``affiliated
person,'' as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act, of a Fund or of the
Manager, other than by reason of serving as a Sub-Adviser to one or
more of the Funds (``Affiliated Sub-Adviser'').
    4. Applicants also request an exemption from the various disclosure
provisions described below that may require the Funds to disclose the
fees paid by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser. An exemption is requested
to permit each Fund to disclose, both as a dollar amount and as a
percentage of a Fund's net assets: (a) the aggregate fees paid to the
Manager and Affiliated Sub-Advisers; and (b) the aggregate fees paid to
Sub-Advisers other than Affiliated Sub-Advisers (``Aggregate Fee
Disclosure''). For any Fund that employs an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the
Fund will provide separate disclosure of any fees paid to such
Affiliated Sub-Adviser.

Applicants' Legal Analysis

    1. Section 15(a) of the Act provides, in relevant part, that it is
unlawful for any person to act as an investment adviser to a registered
investment company except under a written contract that has been
approved by the vote of a majority of the company's outstanding voting
securities. Rule 18f-2 under the Act provides that each series or class
of stock in a series company affected by a matter must approve such
matter if the Act requires shareholder approval.
    2. Form N-1A is the registration statement used by open-end
investment companies. Item 14(a)(3) of Form N-1A requires disclosure of
the method and amount of the investment adviser's compensation.
    3. Rule 20a-1 under the Act requires proxies solicited with respect
to an investment company to comply with Schedule 14A under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``1934 Act''). Items 22(c)(1)(ii),
22(c)(1)(iii), 22(c)(8) and 22(c)(9) of Schedule 14A, taken together,
require a proxy statement for a shareholder meeting at which the
advisory contract will be voted upon to include the ``rate of
compensation of the investment adviser,'' the ``aggregate amount of the
investment adviser's fees,'' a description of the ``terms of the
contract to be acted upon,'' and, if a change in the advisory fee is
proposed, the existing and proposed fees and the difference between the
two fees.
    4. Form N-SAR is the semi-annual report filed with the Commission
by registered investment companies. Item 48 of Form N-SAR requires
investment companies to disclose the rate schedule for fees paid to
their investment advisers, including the Sub-Advisers.
    5. Regulation S-X sets forth the requirements for financial
statements required to be included as part of investment company
registration statements and shareholder reports filed with the
Commission. Sections 6-07(2)(a), (b), and (c) of Regulation S-X require
that investment companies include in their financial statements
information about investment advisory fees.
    6. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of
persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or
from any rule thereunder, if such exemption is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors
and the purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the
Act. Applicants state that their requested relief meets this standard
for the reasons discussed below.
    7. Applicants assert that permitting the Manager to hire or change
Sub-Advisers without incurring the unnecessary delay and expense of
obtaining shareholder approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement is
appropriate in the interest of the Fund's shareholders and will allow
each Fund to potentially operate more efficiently. Applicants assert
that the shareholders have an expectation that the Manager will select
the most appropriate Sub-Adviser. Applicants compare the role of Sub-
Advisers to that of individual portfolio managers employed by
traditionally managed funds. Applicants note that the Management
Agreements will continue to be subject to section 15(a) of the Act and
rule 18f-2 under the Act.
    8. Applicants assert that many investment advisers charge their
customers for advisory services according to a ``posted'' fee schedule.
Applicants state that while investment advisers typically are willing
to negotiate fees lower than those posted in the schedule, they are
reluctant to do so where the fees are disclosed to other prospective
and existing customers. Applicants submit that the requested relief
will encourage Sub-Advisers to negotiate lower sub-advisory fees with
the Manager.

Applicants' Conditions

    Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief will
be subject to the following conditions:
    1. Before a Fund may rely on the requested order, the operation of
the Fund in the manner described in this application will be approved
by a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (as such term
is defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the Act), or, in the case of a Fund
whose public shareholders purchase shares on the basis of a prospectus
containing the disclosure contemplated by condition 2 below, by the
initial shareholder(s) before offering the Fund's shares to the public.
    2. The prospectus for each Fund will disclose the existence,
substance and effect of any order granted pursuant to this application.
Each Fund relying on the order will hold itself out to the public as
employing the manager-of-managers arrangement described in this
application. The prospectus relating to each Fund will prominently
disclose that its Manager has the ultimate responsibility (subject to
oversight by the Board) to oversee Sub-Advisers and to recommend their
hiring, termination, and replacement.
    3. Within 90 days of the hiring of a new Sub-Adviser for a Fund,
the affected Fund's shareholders will be furnished all information
about the new Sub-Adviser that would be included in a proxy statement
except as modified to permit the Aggregate Fee Disclosure. This
information will include Aggregate Fee Disclosure and any change in
such disclosure caused by the addition of a new Sub-Adviser. To meet
this condition, the Fund will provide shareholders within 90 days of
the hiring of a new Sub-Adviser with an information statement meeting
the requirements of Regulation 14C, Schedule 14C and Item 22 of
Schedule 14A under the 1934 Act, except as modified by the order to
permit Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
    4. The Manager will not enter into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with
any Affiliated Sub-Adviser, without that agreement, including the
compensation to be paid thereunder, being approved by the shareholders
of the applicable Fund.

    5. At all times, a majority of the Board will be Independent
Trustees, and the nomination of new or additional Independent Trustees
will be placed within the discretion of the then-existing Independent
Trustees.
    6. When a Sub-Adviser change is proposed for a Fund with an
Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, will make a separate finding, reflected in the
applicable Board minutes, that such change is in the best interests of
such Fund and its shareholders and does not involve a conflict of
interest from which the Manager or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser derives
an inappropriate advantage.
    7. The Manager will provide general management services to each
Fund, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general
management and investment of the Fund's assets and, subject to review
and approval of the Board, will: (i) Set each Fund's overall investment
strategies; (ii) evaluate, select and recommend Sub-Advisers to manage
all or a part of the Fund's assets; (iii) when appropriate, allocate
and reallocate the Fund's assets among multiple Sub-Advisers; (iv)
monitor and evaluate the investment performance of the Sub-Advisers;
and (v) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance
by the Sub-Advisers with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and
restrictions.
    8. No trustee or officer of the Trust, or director or officer of
the Manager will own directly or indirectly (other than through a
pooled investment vehicle that is not controlled by such person) any
interest in a Sub-Adviser except for: (i) Ownership of interests in the
Manager or any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the Manager; or (ii) ownership of less than 1% of
the outstanding securities of any class of equity or debt of any
publicly traded company that is either a Sub-Adviser or an entity that
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a Sub-
Adviser.
    9. Each Fund will disclose in its registration statement the
Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
    10. Independent legal counsel, as defined in rule 0-1(a)(6) under
the Act, will be engaged to represent the Independent Trustees. The
selection of such counsel will be within the discretion of the then-
existing Independent Trustees.
    11. The Manager will provide the Board, no less frequently than
quarterly, with information about the profitability of the Manager on a
per-Fund basis. The information will reflect the impact on
profitability of the hiring or termination of any Sub-Adviser during
the applicable quarter.
    12. Whenever a Sub-Adviser is hired or terminated, the Manager will
provide the Board with information showing the expected impact on the
profitability of the Manager.
    13. The requested order will expire on the effective date of rule
15a-5 under the Act, if adopted.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Reinstated Approval of Information Collection: Flight
Simulation Device Initial and Continuing Qualification and Use

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. This request for clearance reflects requirements necessary
under regulations to ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring that complete
and adequate training, testing, checking, and experience is obtained
and maintained by those who operate under regulation and use flight
simulation in lieu of aircraft for these functions. The Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the
following collection of information was published on November 30, 2017.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 8, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to
[email protected], or faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>, or mailed to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington,
DC 20503.
    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. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0680.
    Title: Flight Simulation Device Initial and Continuing
Qualification and Use.
    Form Numbers: (Pending) Forms T001A, T002, T004, T011, T011-FD2,
T012, T023, T024, T025.
    Type of Review: This is a reinstatement of an information
collection.
    Background: This information collection requires sponsors of flight
simulation training devices (FSTD) to systematically plan for and
implement the requirements of part 60 and the associated Qualification
Performance Standard (QPS). Sponsors have been sub-grouped into small,
medium, and large based on the number of training centers. A sponsor
will be guided through the administrative requirements by the local
principal operations inspector or training center program manager and
by representatives of the National Simulator Program staff regarding
any FSTD for which the sponsor applicant seeks qualification.
    The FAA has determined this information collection is necessary to
amend the Qualification Performance Standards for FSTDs for the primary
purpose of improving existing technical standards and introducing new
technical standards for full stall and stick pusher maneuvers, upset
recognition and recovery maneuvers, maneuvers conducted in airborne
icing conditions, takeoff and landing maneuvers in gusting crosswinds,
and bounced landing recovery maneuvers. These new and improved
technical standards are intended to fully define FSTD fidelity
requirements for conducting new flight training tasks introduced
through changes to the air carrier training requirements. This
information collection also addresses updated FSTD technical standards
to better align with the current international FSTD evaluation guidance
and introduces a new FSTD level that expands the number of qualified
flight training tasks in a fixed base flight training device. This
information collection will help ensure that the training and testing
environment is accurate and realistic, in accordance with regulations.
The specific regulations are Title 14 CFR part 61, part 63, part 91,
part 121, part 135, part 141, and part 142.
    Respondents: The estimate is based on a current sponsor count of 68
that changes on a continuous basis.
    Frequency: Annual.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 44 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 93,385 hours.

     Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on September 4, 2018.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2014-0310; FRL-9913-29-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland; Low Emission Vehicle Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve
the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of
Maryland for the purpose of incorporating by reference the most recent
amendments to California's Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) program. The
Clean Air Act (CAA) contains authority by which other states may adopt
new motor vehicle emissions standards that are identical to
California's standards. Maryland has adopted by reference California's
light and medium-duty vehicle emissions and fuel standards, and
consistent with California, submits amendments to these standards as
revisions to the State's SIP. In this SIP revision, Maryland is
updating its Low Emissions Vehicle Program regulation to adopt by
reference California's Advanced Clean Car Program. In the Final Rules
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP
submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in
the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response
to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by August 8, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2014-0310 by one of the following methods:
    A. www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line instructions for

comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in www.regulations.gov or
