DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

49 CFR Part 385

Change to FMCSA Policy on Calculating and Publicizing the Driver,
Vehicle, and Hazardous Materials Out-of-Service Rates and Crash Rates

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement policy amendment.

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

SUMMARY: Under 49 CFR 385.407 FMCSA may not issue a hazardous materials
safety permit (HMSP) to a motor carrier having a crash rate, or driver,
vehicle, or hazardous materials (HM) out-of-service (OOS) rate in the
top 30 percent of the national average. This document revises the date
used to calculate the threshold crash and OOS rates, from calendar year
cycles to fiscal year cycles, from October 1 of a given year to
September 30 of the following year. This will provide motor carriers
and the industry a 3-month preview of the crash and OOS rates FMCSA
uses to determine HMSP eligibility, before the motor carrier HMSP
registration cycle begins on January 1.

DATES: Effective Date: This policy amendment is effective October 1,
2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roxane Greene at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<PHONE_NUMBER>; or Paul Bomgardner at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or
(202) 493-0027. Both staff members may be reached at FMCSA, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m., EST, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 7, 2007, FMCSA published a
Notice of Enforcement Policy (72 FR 62795) explaining how the Agency
calculates the top 30 percent of the national average for crash rates,
and for driver, vehicle and hazardous materials OOS rates, and
determines whether a given motor carrier falls within the top 30
percent of the national average in each of these categories.
    49 CFR part 385, subpart E identifies which motor carriers must
hold a HMSP, establishes the application process for a HMSP, and
specifies the conditions that must satisfy to qualify for this permit.
Section 385.407 requires that a carrier have a ``Satisfactory'' safety
rating, certify that it has a satisfactory security program, and be
properly registered with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA). In addition, as specified under Section
385.407(a)(2), FMCSA will not issue a HMSP to a motor carrier having a
crash rate in the top 30 percent of the national average, as indicated
in the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS), or a
driver, vehicle, HM, or total OOS rate in the top 30 percent of the
national average as indicated in the MCMIS.
    The HMSP requirement became effective for motor carriers after
January 1, 2005, when the motor carrier was required to file a Motor
Carrier Identification Report Form (MCS-150), as set forth in 49 CFR
390.19. A motor carrier is required to file its MCS-150 form with FMCSA
every two years. The application for the HMSP was incorporated into the
MCS-150, as an expanded version of the form entitled ``MCS-150B or
Combined Motor Carrier Identification Report and HM Permit
Application.'' Thus, the HMSP must be renewed every two years.
    In early January 2005, FMCSA published on its public Web site the
calculation for determining the national average crash rate and the
driver, vehicle and HM OOS rates that established the threshold for the
``top 30 percent of the national average''. The Web site also explained
how a carrier can calculate its own crash and OOS rates.
    To calculate the threshold figure that determines the top (worst-
performing) 30 percent of the national average, FMCSA looked at the
crash rates and driver, vehicle, and HM OOS percentage rates of all
carriers (HM and non-HM) for the prior two calendar years. The Agency
then determined the numerical threshold value relative to which 70
percent of all carriers have a driver, vehicle, or HM OOS percentage
rate lower than that figure, and 30 percent of the carriers have a
driver, vehicle, or HM OOS percentage rate that is higher. The FMCSA
Web site provided notice to the regulated community on how FMCSA would
establish the national averages and threshold figures for the top, or
worst-performing, 30 percent of the motor carrier population. The
Agency recalculates and publishes these threshold rates on its Web site
every 2 years. Upon publication, the threshold rates remain effective
for the 2-year registration period of the HMSP program. For example, in
January 2009, using data for calendar years 2007 and 2008, FMCSA
recalculated and published on its Web site the threshold crash rates
and driver, vehicle, and HM OOS rates establishing the top 30 percent
of the national average (see http://www.safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/
HazmatRatesPost.pdf). These rates provide the standard for granting or
denying HMSPs during the calendar year (CY) 2009 to 2011 registration
cycle.
    Table 1 below shows the calculated threshold rates establishing the
top 30 percent of the national average for the registration years CY
2005 through 2010:

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

OEC Calculation of Crash Rate and OOS Rates on a Fiscal Year Basis

    The threshold for crash rates, and driver, vehicle and HM OOS rates
were, and will continue to be, recalculated every 2 years using the
crash and OOS data from the previous 2 years. The FMCSA is only
revising the date from which the data from the 2-year period will be
calculated. The 2-year period will now be measured by the federal
fiscal year (October 1 to September 30), instead of calendar year
(January 1 to December 31). This change will take effect prior to the
next registration cycle for the HMSP program starting in 2011. To
determine the rates for the next registration cycle, 2011 to 2012,
FMCSA will use two years of crash and OOS data to calculate the
threshold rates for the top 30 percent of the national average using
data from fiscal years 2009, (October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2009),
and 2010, (October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2010). Accordingly, the
threshold rates for registration year 2011 and 2012 will be calculated
on October 1, 2010, and published on the FMCSA Web site shortly
thereafter, and will be effective for the registration period
commencing January 1, 2011. This change will provide motor carriers
with

a 3-month preview of the crash and OOS rates that will be effective for
the issuance of HMSPs during the following 2-year registration period.

Carriers' Calculation of Their OOS Rates and Crash Rate

    When a motor carrier submits an HMSP application through the MCS-
150B process, FMCSA examines one year (12 months) of the carrier's
crash and OOS data. This policy is consistent with Agency's practice of
reviewing one year of motor carrier records during the conduct of a
compliance review. The period examined is the 12 months immediately
preceding the date that the application is received and processed. A
motor carrier must, therefore, calculate its vehicle, driver, and HM
OOS rates in each of the three categories by examining the number of
inspections and OOS violations during the preceding 12-month period. To
determine its OOS rate, the carrier would divide the number of OOS
violations by the total number of inspections for each category. The
resulting figure is the motor carrier's OOS rate for the category.
    The FMCSA likewise examines one year of crash data to determine a
carrier's crash rate. A motor carrier will divide the number of crashes
for the previous 12-month period by the total number of power units
that it operated during that period. For example, if a motor carrier
had 2 crashes and 10 power units, the crash rate would be 0.20 based
upon a calculation of (2/10 = 0.20). The FMCSA does not consider a
single crash to be statistically valid. Thus, crash rates will be
calculated only for carriers with more than one crash in the previous
12-month period.

Upcoming Registration Cycles Under the HMSP Program

          (or cycles)                     preview                         Enforcement and Compliance

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

    The OOS rates based on a 2-fiscal year cycle will be effective for
the 2-year registration cycle as the above table illustrates, beginning
the following January, and will remain in effect for the entire 2
calendar years of the registration cycle. For example, the OOS rates
calculated on October 1, 2010, will be published on the FMCSA Web site
for preview, become effective for purposes of HMSP review on January 1,
2011, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2012. The OOS
rates will then be re-calculated and published on October 1, 2012, for
the following registration cycle, and enforced starting January 1,
2013.

                                  Appendix C
                            Prime Burden Reduction
                            Prime Burden Reduction
      In 2016 EPA estimated burden reduction associated with transition to a new cloud-based reporting system. This estimate was 783,000 hours of burden reduction annually for states, and 82,000 hours annually for PWS and laboratories. The state reduction is assumed to impact state general primacy burden associated with monthly operating reports and compliance determinations. PWS and lab burden reduction does not impact the estimates in the PWSS ICR.
      State burden associated with general state primacy with no cloud-based burden reduction is estimated at 1,773,621 hours. EPA currently expects states to start using the new cloud-based reporting system in this ICR period. A cumulative 15 percent of states are expected to adopt the system each year of the ICR period. This will result in burden reductions 117,450 hours in the 1[st] year, and 234,900 hours in the 2[nd] year, and 352,350 in the 3[rd] year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In recent years, many important initiatives have been undertaken by
regulatory authorities and industry associations to promote
international harmonization of regulatory requirements. FDA has
participated in many meetings designed to enhance harmonization and is
committed to seeking scientifically based harmonized technical
procedures for pharmaceutical

development. One of the goals of harmonization is to identify and then
reduce differences in technical requirements for drug development among
regulatory agencies.
    ICH was organized to provide an opportunity for harmonization
initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and
industry representatives. FDA also seeks input from consumer
representatives and others. ICH is concerned with harmonization of
technical requirements for the registration of pharmaceutical products
for human use among regulators around the world. The six founding
members of the ICH are: The European Commission; the European
Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations; the Japanese
Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare; the Japanese Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association; CDER and CBER, FDA; and the Pharmaceutical
Research and Manufacturers of America. The Standing Members of the ICH
Association include Health Canada and Swissmedic. Any party eligible as
a Member in accordance with the ICH Articles of Association can apply
for membership in writing to the ICH Secretariat. The ICH Secretariat,
which coordinates the preparation of documentation, operates as an
international nonprofit organization and is funded by the Members of
the ICH Association. The ICH Assembly is the overarching body of the
Association and includes representatives from each of the ICH members
and observers.
    In the Federal Register of December 24, 1997 (62 FR 67377), FDA
published a notice announcing the availability of the ICH guidance for
industry entitled ``Q3C Impurities: Residual Solvents.'' The guidance
makes recommendations as to what amounts of residual solvents are
considered toxicologically acceptable for some residual solvents. Upon
issuance in 1997, the text and appendix 1 of the guidance contained
several tables and a list of solvents categorizing residual solvents by
toxicity, classes 1 through 3, with class 1 being the most toxic. The
ICH Quality Expert Working Group (EWG) agreed that the PDE could be
modified if reliable and more relevant toxicity data were brought to
the attention of the group and the modified PDE could result in a
revision of the tables and list.
    In 1999, ICH instituted a Q3C maintenance agreement and formed a
maintenance EWG (Q3C EWG). The agreement provided for the revisitation
of solvent PDEs and allowed for minor changes to the tables and list
that include the existing PDEs. The agreement also provided for new
solvents and PDEs that could be added to the tables and list based on
adequate toxicity data. In the Federal Register of February 12, 2002
(67 FR 6542), FDA briefly described the process for proposing future
revisions to the PDE. In the same notice, the Agency announced its
decision to delink the tables and list from the Q3C guidance and create
a stand-alone document entitled ``Q3C: Tables and List'' to facilitate
making changes recommended by ICH, available at https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm073395.pdf. The ``Q3C: Tables and List'' has been updated as of
January 2017 to include the recommended PDE for triethylamine and
methylisobutylketone.
    In the Federal Register of October 16, 2015 (80 FR 62537), FDA
published a notice announcing the availability of draft recommendations
for the PDEs for two solvents, trimethylamine and methylisobutylketone,
according to the maintenance procedures for the guidance entitled ``Q3C
Impurities: Residual Solvents,'' available at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The notice gave interested persons an opportunity to
submit comments by December 15, 2015. After consideration of the
comments received and revisions to the guidance, a final draft of the
recommendations was submitted to the ICH Assembly and endorsed by the
regulatory agencies in November 2016.
    The guidance provides a new PDE for the solvent trimethylamine and
a revised PDE for the solvent methylisobutylketone. In addition, the
data used to derive the PDEs are summarized. Revisions made to the
final guidance as a result of comments include a modification of the
PDE for methylisobutylketone from 22.6 milligrams (mg)/day to 45 mg/day
based on reconsideration of the severity of effects identified in rat
studies and the human relevance of effects identified in mouse
carcinogenicity study. The recommendation to place methylisobutylketone
into class 2 remains. The ``Q3C: Tables and List'' has been updated as
of January 2017 to include the recommended PDE for triethylamine and
methylisobutylketone.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Q3C Impurities: Residual Solvents.'' It
does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA
or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

[EPA-R05-OAR-2008-0448; FRL-9450-2]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Minnesota; Rules Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take several actions on a revision to the
Minnesota State Implementation Plan (SIP) which updates Minnesota's
rules in the SIP. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
submitted the SIP revision to EPA on May 5, 2008. EPA is proposing to
approve the majority of MPCA's submittal, which will result in
consistent enforceability of rules at the state and Federal levels. EPA
is proposing to defer action on two sections of Minnesota's rules
related to the state's operating permit program. Finally, EPA is
proposing to disapprove the state's request to remove the Minneapolis/
St. Paul vehicle inspection and maintenance program from the Minnesota
SIP. These actions are approvable because they are consistent with the
Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA regulations.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 9, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2008-0448, by one of the following methods:

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 rule, 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.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60253; File No. SR-ISE-2009-34]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change Regarding Customer Cross Orders

July 7, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on June 24, 2009, International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''
or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change 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 ISE proposes to adopt rules related to the execution of
Customer Cross Orders. The text of the proposed rule amendment is as
follows, with deletions in [brackets] and additions italicized:
* * * * *
Rule 715. Types of Orders
    (a) through (h) no change.
    (i) Customer Cross Orders. A Customer Cross Order is comprised of a
Public Customer Order to buy and a Public Customer Order to sell at the
same price and for the same quantity.
* * * * *
Rule 717. Limitations on Orders
    (a) through (g) no change.
Supplemental Material to Rule 717
    .01 Rule 717(d) prevents an Electronic Access Member from executing
agency orders to increase its economic gain from trading against the
order without first giving other trading interest on the Exchange an
opportunity to either trade with the agency order or to trade at the
execution price when the Member was already bidding or offering on the
book. However, the Exchange recognizes that it may be possible for an
Electronic Access Member to establish a relationship with a customer or
other person (including affiliates) to deny agency orders the
opportunity to interact on the Exchange and to realize similar economic
benefits as it would achieve by executing agency orders as principal.
It will be a violation of Rule 717(d) for an Electronic Access Member
to be a party to any arrangement designed to circumvent Rule 717(d) by
providing an opportunity for a customer or other person (including
affiliates) to regularly execute against agency orders handled by the
Electronic Access Member immediately upon their entry into the System.
    .02 no change.
* * * * *
Rule 721. [[Reserved]] Customer Cross Orders
    Customer Cross Orders are automatically executed upon entry
provided that the execution is at or between the best bid and offer on
the Exchange and (i) is not at the same price as a Public Customer
Order on the Exchange's limit order book and (ii) will not trade
through the NBBO unless the order is for at least 500 contracts and has
a premium value of at least $150,000.

    (a) Customer Cross Orders will be automatically canceled if they
cannot be executed.
    (b) Customer Cross Orders may only be entered in the regular
trading increments applicable to the options class under Rule 710.
    (c) Supplemental Material .01 to Rule 717 applies to the entry and
execution of Customer Cross Orders.
* * * * *

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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Under the Exchange's options rules, members are required to expose
trading interest to the market before executing agency orders as
principal or before executing agency orders against orders that were
solicited from other broker-dealers (i.e., proprietary and solicited
crossing transactions),\3\ and the Exchange provides several different
mechanisms that allow members to execute these types of crossing
transactions in a manner that complies with the exposure
requirement.\4\ However, the ISE options rules do not contain any
limitations or exposure requirements regarding the execution of
customer orders against other customer orders, and the Exchange has
developed a way to enter opposing customer orders using a single order
type (``Customer Cross Orders'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ISE Rule 717(d) (Principal Transactions) and Rule 717(e)
(Solicitation Orders).
    \4\ ISE Rule 716 (Block Trades) and Rule 723 (Price Improvement
Mechanism for Crossing Transactions). See e-mail from Kathy Simmons,
Deputy General Counsel, ISE, to Ira Brandriss, Special Counsel, and
Brian O'Neill, Attorney, Division of Trading and Markets,
Commission, dated July 1, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this rule proposal is to adopt rules regarding the
entry and execution of Customer Cross Orders. In particular, the
Exchange proposes to add a definition of a Customer Cross Order
specifying that a Customer Cross Order is comprised of a Public
Customer Order to buy and a Public Customer Order to sell at the same
price and for the same quantity. The Exchange also proposes to adopt
Rule 721 specifying that Customer Cross Orders are automatically
executed upon entry provided that the execution will not take place at
the same price as a Public Customer Order on the limit order book, nor
trade through the national best bid or offer unless the order is for at
least 500 contracts and has a premium value of at least $150,000.\5\
The proposed rule also specifies that Customer Cross Orders entered at
a price that is outside of the NBBO or at the same price as a Public
Customer Order on the limit order book will be automatically canceled,
and that Customer Cross Orders may only be entered in the regular
trading increments applicable to the options class under Rule 710.
Finally, the proposal specifies that Supplemental Material .01 to Rule
717, which prohibits a member from being a party to any arrangement
designed to circumvent the requirements applicable to executing agency
orders as principal, applies to the entry and execution of Customer
Cross Orders. In this respect, the Exchange proposes to amend
Supplemental Material .01 to Rule 717 to specifically reference
affiliates of member firms, which is consistent with how the Exchange
has interpreted the provision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Execution of orders of at least 500 contracts and with a
premium value of at least $150,000 will meet the definition of a
Block Trade in ISE Rule 1900(2) (definitions under the Linkage
Rules).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a
national securities exchange and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) of the Act.\6\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with the requirement of Section
6(b)(5) \7\ that an exchange have rules that are designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In
particular, the proposal provides for the efficient entry and execution
of Customer Cross Orders while also protecting Public Customer Orders
on the book at the same price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change does 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 regarding this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not
received any unsolicited written comments from members or other
interested parties.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (i) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (iii) by its terms, does not become operative for 30 days from the
date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the self-regulatory organization to submit to the
Commission written 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. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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
