SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Medical Devices; Use of Symbols in Labeling--Glossary To Support the
Use of Symbols in Labeling

OMB Control Number 0910-0740--Extension

    In the Federal Register of June 15, 2016 (81 FR 38911), FDA issued
a final rule revising medical device and certain biological product
labeling regulations by explicitly allowing for the optional use in
medical device labeling of stand-alone symbols established in a
Standard Development Organization (SDO)-developed standard. In
particular, FDA will allow the use of stand-alone graphical
representations of information, or symbols, in the labeling for the
medical devices, if the symbols are established in a standard developed
by an SDO as long as: (1) The standard is recognized by FDA under its
authority under section 514(c) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360d(c)) and the symbol is used according to
the specifications for use of the symbol set forth in FDA's section
514(c) recognition, or alternatively, (2) if the symbol is not included
in a standard recognized by FDA under section 514(c) of the FD&C Act or
the symbol is in a standard recognized by FDA but is not used according
to the specifications for use of the symbol set out in the FDA section
514(c) recognition, the device manufacturer otherwise determines that
the symbol is likely to be read and understood by the ordinary
individual under customary conditions of purchase and use and uses the
symbol according to the specifications for use of the symbol set forth
in the SDO-developed standard. In addition, in either case, the symbol
must be explained in a written or electronic symbols glossary that is
included in the labeling for the medical device. Furthermore, the
labeling on or within the package containing the device must bear a
prominent and conspicuous statement identifying the location of the
glossary that is written in English or, in the case of articles
distributed solely in Puerto Rico or in a Territory where the
predominant language is one other than English, the predominant
language may be used. The use of such symbols must also comply with
other applicable labeling requirements of the FD&C Act, such as section
502(a) and (f) (21 U.S.C. 352(a) and (f)).
    The respondents for this collection of information are domestic and
foreign device manufacturers who plan to use stand-alone symbols on the
labels and/or labeling for their devices marketed in the United States.
    In the Federal Register of March 19, 2019 (84 FR 10100), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. FDA received the following comments:
     Comment supporting the use of the existing rule to
continue the use of symbols without explanatory text, and including
additional instructions, as needed, in the symbols glossary.
     Comment suggesting the development or use of the symbol
for electronic instructions for use be included.
     Comment suggesting adding requirements regarding education
on the meaning of symbols in devices.
     Comment requesting future support on the use of
``homegrown'' or proprietary symbols not contained in a standard from a
recognized SDO to reduce burden on space limited areas.
     Several comments requesting that we not mandate the
inclusion of the title and designation number in the glossary because
the commenters believe they are not necessary for the user of the
medical device to understand the symbol. The commenters assert that
removing the requirement for title and designation number may permit
more symbols glossaries to be included in a paper Instructions for Use
(IFU) versus needing to be on a website due to the amount of
information needed. The commenters assert this is beneficial in that it
may permit more users to see the glossary more easily than going to a
web-based glossary. The comments also assert that information such as
the title and designation number could be part of the submission
content, rather than part of the labeling/IFU.
     Comment suggesting the use of the International Standards
Organization (ISO) Symbol 1641 (Consult IFU) to replace the requirement
to bear a prominent and conspicuous statement identifying the location
of the symbols glossary. The comment asserts that use of ISO Symbol
1641 is believed to be globally well understood to indicate any
information needed to understand the proper use of the device is in the
IFU. Use of ISO symbol 1641 will also reduce burden and costs as the
statement in English requires translation for use in other countries,
whereas the symbol is universal.
    FDA has reviewed and continues to consider comments to the extent
that they relate to this information collection. We note that we
continuously evaluate ways to improve stakeholder understanding of the
symbols rule. We have made no changes to the information collection at
this time as a result of the comments. Based upon comments received,
FDA also notes that existing symbols contained within standards for an
electronic IFU exist, which are intended to indicate on product or
product packaging that relevant information for use of the product is
available in electronic form rather than, or in addition to, printed
paper form.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

    The estimated burden is based on the data in a similar collection
for recommended glossary and educational outreach approved under OMB
control number 0910-0553 (``Use of Symbols on Labels and in Labeling of
In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Intended for Professional Use''). As such,
the PRA also covers the requirements of the final rule to submit the
symbols glossary to FDA in otherwise required submissions during the
premarket review process and to disclose it to third parties in
otherwise required device labeling, which means adding to such
submission or labeling a compiled listing of each SDO-established
symbol used in the labeling for the device; the title and designation
number of the SDO-developed standard containing the symbol; and the
title of the symbol and its reference number, if any, in the standard;
and the meaning or explanatory text for the symbol as provided in the
FDA recognition or, if FDA has not recognized the standard or portion
of the standard in which the symbol is located or the symbol is used
not in accordance with the specifications for use of the symbol set out
in the FDA section 514(c) recognition, the explanatory text as provided
in the standard.
    Based on a review of the information collection since our last
request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden
estimate.

RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Jet Route J-37 in the Vicinity of Atlanta, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Jet Route J-37 in the vicinity of Atlanta,
GA, by removing the route segment between the Montgomery, AL, VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR)/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the
Lynchburg, VA, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigation
aids. The route segment was recently removed from the jet route
effective January 30, 2020, and then inadvertently added back to the
jet route the following chart cycle, effective March 26, 2020.
Subsequent to the publication of the rule that added the route segment
back to J-37, the FAA identified the error and is taking this action to
correct it by removing the route segment as it was in January 2020 in
support of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 21, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the route structure in the National Airspace
System as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air
traffic.

History

    In 2018, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2018-0817 (83 FR 48730;
September 27, 2018) to amend 3 jet routes, 2 RNAV Q-routes, and 8 VOR
Federal airways, and establish 4 RNAV T-routes due to the planned
decommissioning of the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. That action supported the
FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (VOR MON) Program as published in
the final policy statement notice, ``Provision of Navigation Services
for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Transition
to Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) (Plan for Establishing a VOR
Minimum Operational Network),'' published in the Federal Register of
July 26, 2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA-2011-1082. One of the three
jet routes proposed for amendment in that docket action was J-37, which
included retaining the route segment between the Montgomery, AL, VORTAC
and the Lynchburg, VA, VOR/DME as it was charted at that time.
    Subsequent to the Docket No. FAA-2018-0817 NPRM publishing in the
Federal Register, the FAA published a separate NPRM in the Federal
Register for Docket No. FAA-2019-0638 (84 FR 48086; September 12, 2019)
and a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2019-0638
(84 FR 66066, December 3, 2019) to amend or remove certain air traffic
service (ATS) routes in the southeastern United States. That action
supported the FAA's Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project to
improve the efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) and reduce
dependency on ground-based navigational systems. One of the ATS routes
amended by that docket action was also J-37, which removed the route
segment between the Montgomery, AL, VORTAC and Lynchburg, VA, VOR/DME.
The effective date of the final rule for that docket action was January
30, 2020.
    Then, subsequent to the Docket No. FAA-2019-0638 final rule
publishing in the Federal Register, the FAA published a final rule in
the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2018-0817 (85 FR 3814; January
23, 2020). That rule amended and established multiple ATS routes,
including J-37, affected by the planned decommissioning of the Hobby,
TX, VOR/DME as the docket action had proposed in 2018. The effective
date of the final rule for that docket action was March 26, 2020.
    As a result, J-37 was amended by a rule (Docket No. FAA-2019-0638)
published in the Federal Register in December 2019 and effective
January 30, 2020, removing the route segment between the Montgomery,
AL, VORTAC and Lynchburg, VA, VOR/DME. Then, J-37 was amended again by
a rule (Docket No. FAA-2018-0817) published in the Federal Register in
January 2020 and effective March 26, 2020, inadvertently adding the
same route segment back into the jet route the following chart cycle.
    The FAA is taking this action now to amend the Part 71 description
of J-37 by removing the route segment between the Montgomery, AL,
VORTAC and Lynchburg, VA, VOR/DME as it was in January 2020 in support
of the Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route Project.
    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.11D,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet Route listed in this
rule will be subsequently published in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying Jet Route J-37 to remove the route segment between
the Montgomery, AL, VORTAC and the Lynchburg, VA, VOR/DME. This action
corrects the inadvertent inclusion of the route segment published in
the Docket No. FAA-2018-0817 final rule, after the route segment was
removed in the Docket No. FAA-2019-0638 final rule. Because the error
described above requires prompt resolution, notice and public
procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    The Jet Route modification accomplished by this action is outlined
below.
    J-37: J-37 extends between the Harvey, LA, VORTAC and the Coyle,
NJ, VORTAC; and between the Kennedy, NY, VOR/DME, and the Massena, NY,
VORTAC. The route segment between the Montgomery, AL, VORTAC and the
Lynchburg, VA, VOR/DME is removed. The unaffected portions of the
existing route remain as charted.
    The radials listed in the route description below are stated in
True degrees.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of modifying Jet Route J-37
near Atlanta, GA, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at
40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, Paragraph 5-6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation
of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes;
and Reporting Points). As such, this action is not expected to result
in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and
circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may
have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. The
FAA has determined no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact
study.

[Docket No. 30962; Amdt. No. 3594]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight
rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective June 11, 2014. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 11, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

City, OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK. 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 275

[Release No. IA-5733; File No. S7-05-21]

Performance-Based Investment Advisory Fees

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Intent to issue order.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'')
intends to issue an order that would adjust for inflation dollar amount
thresholds in the rule under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that
permits investment advisers to charge performance-based fees to
``qualified clients.'' Under that rule, an investment adviser may
charge performance-based fees if a ``qualified client'' has a certain
minimum net worth or minimum dollar amount of assets under the
management of the adviser. The Commission's order would increase, to
reflect inflation, the minimum net worth that a ``qualified client''
must have under the rule. The order would also increase, to reflect
inflation, the minimum dollar amount of assets under management.
    Hearing or Notification of Hearing: An order adjusting the dollar
amount tests specified in the definition of ``qualified client'' will
be issued unless the Commission orders a hearing. Interested persons
may request a hearing by writing to the Commission's Secretary. Hearing
requests should be received by the Commission's Office of the Secretary
by 5:30 p.m. on June 4, 2021. Hearing requests should state the nature
of the writer's interest, the reason for the request, and the issues
contested. Persons who wish to be notified of a hearing may request
notification by writing to the Commission's Secretary. Any such
communication should be emailed to the Commission's Secretary at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission intends to issue an order
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers Act'' or
``Act'').\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 80b. Unless otherwise noted, all references to
statutory sections are to the Advisers Act, and all references to
rules under the Advisers Act, including rule 205-3, are to Title 17,
Part 275 of the Code of Federal Regulations [17 CFR 275].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Background

    Section 205(a)(1) of the Advisers Act generally prohibits an
investment adviser from entering into, extending, renewing, or
performing any investment advisory contract that provides for
compensation to the adviser based on a share of capital gains on, or
capital appreciation of, the funds of a client.\2\ Congress prohibited
these compensation arrangements (also known as performance compensation
or performance fees) in 1940 to protect advisory clients from
arrangements that Congress believed might encourage advisers to take
undue risks with client funds to increase advisory fees.\3\ In 1970,
Congress provided an exception from the prohibition for advisory
contracts relating to the investment of assets in excess of
$1,000,000,\4\ if an appropriate ``fulcrum fee'' is used.\5\ Congress
subsequently authorized the Commission to exempt, by rule or order, any
advisory contract from the performance fee prohibition if the contract
is with any person that the Commission determines does not need the
protections of that prohibition.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 80b-5(a)(1).
    \3\ H.R. Rep. No. 2639, 76th Cong., 3d Sess. 29 (1940).
Performance fees were characterized as ``heads I win, tails you
lose'' arrangements in which the adviser had everything to gain if
successful and little, if anything, to lose if not. S. Rep No. 1775,
76th Cong., 3d Sess. 22 (1940).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 80b-5(b)(2). Trusts, governmental plans,
collective trust funds, and separate accounts referred to in section
3(c)(11) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment Company
Act'') [15 U.S.C. 80a-3(c)(11)] are not eligible for this exception
from the performance fee prohibition under section 205(b)(2)(B) of
the Advisers Act.
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 80b-5(b). A fulcrum fee generally involves
averaging the adviser's fee over a specified period and increasing
or decreasing the fee proportionately with the investment
performance of the company or fund in relation to the investment
record of an appropriate index of securities prices. See rule 205-2
under the Advisers Act; Adoption of Rule 205-2 under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, As Amended, Definition of ``Specified Period''
Over Which Asset Value of Company or Fund Under Management is
Averaged, Advisers Act Release No. 347 (Nov. 10, 1972) [37 FR 24895
(Nov. 23, 1972)]. In 1980, Congress added another exception to the
prohibition against charging performance fees, for contracts
involving business development companies under certain conditions.
See section 205(b)(3) of the Advisers Act.
    \6\ Section 205(e) of the Advisers Act. Section 205(e) of the
Advisers Act authorizes the Commission to exempt conditionally or
unconditionally from the performance fee prohibition advisory
contracts with persons that the Commission determines do not need
its protections. Section 205(e) provides that the Commission may
determine that persons do not need the protections of section
205(a)(1) on the basis of such factors as ``financial
sophistication, net worth, knowledge of and experience in financial
matters, amount of assets under management, relationship with a
registered investment adviser, and such other factors as the
Commission determines are consistent with [section 205].''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission adopted rule 205-3 in 1985 to exempt an investment
adviser from the prohibition against charging a client performance fees
in certain circumstances.\7\ The rule, when adopted, allowed an adviser
to charge performance fees if the client had at least $500,000 under
management with the adviser immediately after entering into the
advisory contract (``assets-under-management test'') or if the adviser
reasonably believed, immediately prior to entering into the advisory
contract, that the client had a net worth of more than $1,000,000 at
the time the contract was entered into (``net worth test''). The
Commission stated that these standards would limit the availability of
the exemption to clients who are financially experienced and able to
bear the risks of performance fee arrangements.\8\ In 1998, the
Commission amended rule 205-3 to, among other

things, change the dollar amounts of the assets-under-management test
and net worth test to adjust for the effects of inflation since
1985.\9\ The Commission revised the former from $500,000 to $750,000,
and the latter from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.\10\

Appreciation of a Client's Account, Advisers Act Release No. 996
(Nov. 14, 1985) [50 FR 48556 (Nov. 26, 1985)] (``1985 Adopting
Release''). The exemption applies to the entrance into, performance,
renewal, and extension of advisory contracts. See rule 205-3(a).
    \8\ See 1985 Adopting Release, supra footnote 7, at Sections I.C
and II.B. The rule also imposed other conditions, including specific
disclosure requirements and restrictions on calculation of
performance fees. See id. at Sections II.C-E.

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

    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(``Dodd-Frank Act'') \11\ amended section 205(e) of the Advisers Act to
provide that, by July 21, 2011 and every five years thereafter, the
Commission shall, by order, adjust for the effects of inflation the
dollar amount thresholds included in rules issued under section 205(e),
rounded to the nearest multiple of $100,000.\12\ In May 2011, the
Commission published a release (the ``May 2011 Release'') that included
a notice of intent to issue an order revising the dollar amount
thresholds of the assets-under-management test (from $750,000 to
$1,000,000) and the net worth test (from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000).\13\

Commission to issue an order every five years revising dollar amount
tests in a rule that exempts a person or transaction from section
205(a)(1) of the Advisers Act if the dollar amount test was a factor
in the Commission's determination that the persons do not need the
protections of that section).
    \13\ See Investment Adviser Performance Compensation, Advisers
Act Release No. 3198 (May 10, 2011) [76 FR 27959 (May 13, 2011)].
The Commission issued an order to revise the dollar amount
thresholds of the assets-under-management and net worth tests, as
described above, on July 12, 2011. See Order Approving Adjustment
for Inflation of the Dollar Amount Tests in Rule 205-3 under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Advisers Act Release No. 3236 (July
12, 2011) [76 FR 41838 (July 15, 2011)] (``2011 Order''). The 2011
Order was effective as of September 19, 2011. Id. The 2011 Order
applied to contractual relationships entered into on or after the
effective date and did not apply retroactively to contractual
relationships previously in existence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The May 2011 Release also proposed amendments to rule 205-3
providing, among other things, that the Commission would issue an order
every five years in the future adjusting the rule's dollar amount
thresholds for inflation.\14\ On February 15, 2012, the Commission
adopted these proposed amendments, which amended rule 205-3 to carry
out the inflation adjustment of the rule's dollar amount
thresholds.\15\ Rule 205-3, as amended, states that the Commission will
issue an order on or about May 1, 2016, and approximately every five
years thereafter, adjusting for inflation the dollar amount thresholds
of the rule's assets-under-management and net worth tests,\16\ and
specifies the price index on which future inflation adjustments will be
based--the Personal Consumption Expenditures Chain-Type Price Index
(``PCE Index''), which is published by the United States Department of
Commerce,\17\ and is used in other provisions of the federal securities
laws.\18\

cash limit protection of each investor under the Securities Investor
Protection Act of 1970. See section 929H(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act;

    On June 14, 2016, the Commission issued an order adjusting for
inflation, as appropriate, the dollar amount thresholds of the assets-
under-management test and the net worth test.\19\ As of August 15,
2016, the dollar amount of the assets-under-management test is
$1,000,000, and the dollar amount of the net worth test is
$2,100,000.\20\

(June 20, 2016)] (``2016 Order''). The 2016 Order was effective as
of August 15, 2016. Id.
    \20\ Id. As a result of the 2016 Order, the dollar amount
threshold of the net worth test was increased to $2,100,000, but the
dollar amount threshold of the assets-under-management test remained
at $1,000,000 because the amount of the Commission's inflation
adjustment calculation was smaller than the rounding amount
specified under rule 205-3. Id., at nn.8-9 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Discussion

A. Order Adjusting Dollar Amount Tests

    Pursuant to section 418 of the Dodd-Frank Act and rule 205-3(e),
today we are providing notice \21\ that the Commission intends to issue
an order making the required inflation adjustment to the assets-under-
management test and the net worth test in the definition of ``qualified
client'' in rule 205-3. As discussed above, rule 205-3(e) requires that
we adjust the dollar amount thresholds of the rule by order on or about
May 1, 2016 and every five years thereafter. We intend to issue an
order that would increase the dollar amount of the assets-under-
management test from $1,000,000 to $1,100,000, and would increase the
dollar amount of the net worth test from $2,100,000 to $2,200,000. As
required under rule 205-3, both dollar amounts would take into account
the effects of inflation by reference to historic and current levels of
the PCE Index. Because the amount of the Commission's inflation
adjustment calculations are larger than the rounding amount specified
under rule 205-3, the dollar amounts of both tests would be adjusted as
a result of the Commission's inflation adjustment calculation effected
pursuant to the rule.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See section 211(c) of the Advisers Act (requiring the
Commission to provide appropriate notice of and opportunity for
hearing for orders issued under the Advisers Act).
    \22\ Specifically, rule 205-3(e) provides that the adjusted
dollar amounts shall be computed by: (1) Dividing the year-end value
of the PCE Index (or any successor index thereto) for the calendar
year preceding the calendar year in which the order is being issued
(in this case, 2020), by the year-end value of the PCE Index (or
successor) for the calendar year 1997 (such quotient, the
``Adjustment Percentage''); (2) for the assets-under-management
test, multiplying $750,000 by the Adjustment Percentage and rounding
the product to the nearest multiple of $100,000; and (3) for the net
worth test, multiplying $1,500,000 by the Adjustment Percentage and
rounding the product to the nearest multiple of $100,000. As of
April 29, 2021, the end-of-year 2020 PCE Index was 111.146, and the
end-of-year 1997 PCE Index was 74.623. Assets-under-management test
calculation to adjust for the effects of inflation: (111.146/74.623)
x $750,000 = $1,117,075.16; $1,117,075.16 rounded to the nearest
multiple of $100,000 = $1,100,000. Net worth test calculation to
adjust for the effects of inflation: (111.146/74.623) x $1,500,000 =
$2,234,150.33; $2,234,150.33 rounded to the nearest multiple of
$100,000 = $2,200,000. The values of the PCE Index are available
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a bureau of the United States
Department of Commerce. See http://www.bea.gov; see also Bureau of
Economic Analysis, Table 2.3.4., ``Price Indexes for Personal
Consumption Expenditures by Major Type of Product,'' available at
https://apps.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?reqid=19&step=3&isuri=1&select_all_years=0&nipa_table_list=64&series=a&first_year=1997&last_year=2020&scale=-99&categories=survey&thetable= (last visited Apr. 30, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Effective Date

    We anticipate that, if we issue the order described above, the
effective date will be 60 days following the order

date.\23\ To the extent that contractual relationships are entered into
prior to the order's effective date, the dollar amount test adjustments
in the order would not generally apply retroactively to such
contractual relationships, subject to the transition rules incorporated
in rule 205-3.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ When the Commission issued the 2011 and 2016 Orders
adjusting the dollar amount tests of rule 205-3 as described above,
the effective dates of the Orders were approximately 60 days
following their issuance. See 2011 Order, supra footnote 13, at
section III; 2016 Order, supra footnote 19, at section III.
    \24\ See rule 205-3(c)(1) (``If a registered investment adviser
entered into a contract and satisfied the conditions of this
[section] that were in effect when the contract was entered into,
the adviser will be considered to satisfy the conditions of this
[section]; Provided, however, that if a natural person or company
who was not a party to the contract becomes a party (including an
equity owner of a private investment company advised by the
adviser), the conditions of this [section] in effect at that time
will apply with regard to that person or company.''); see also May
2011 Release, supra footnote 13, at section II.B.3.

Subject:        RE: Agrium - North Bend

Bill, sorry it took so long to get back to you.  See my answers below:

Thanks for your assistance in the past.
 I have noted in a telecon a while ago, that you only use hydrogen peroxide injection(HIPI) in addition to SCR  during the summer months.
 Is this accurate? We have the ability to add peroxide throughout the entire year.  We usually only add it in the warmer months, but can throughout the course of the year.

Any idea on the level of control that HIPI achieves?  We do not have any data to accurately answer this question.

When using HIPI, is the SCR operating the same ? Yes, when we add HP, the SCR is in operation.

I think you also felt that uncontrolled NOx was higher in warmer temperatures.
Any idea how much higher? The absorption efficiency of the absorbing towers at the North Bend acid plant is affected mainly by temperature and humidity.  We do not have any data to determine how much higher it would be.

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to call on me.

Best Regards,
Chuck

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 21, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify controlled airspace at
Eureka, NV (77 FR 75594). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. The FAA's Terminal
Products Group reassessed the proposal and on March 19, 2013, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (SNPRM) to modify the airspace 1,200 feet above the surface
southeast of the Eureka Airport, Eureka, NV (78 FR 16821). Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received. This action modifies the airspace 1,200 feet above the
surface by increasing the airspace area southeast of the Eureka
Airport, Eureka, NV, to accommodate aircraft using the RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedures at Eureka Airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15,
2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700/1,200
feet above the surface, at Eureka Airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft
executing RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at the
airport. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface is established to the northeast to contain the
MINES (RNAV) ONE departure, and to the southeast for IFR operations.
This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code.
Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies
controlled airspace at Eureka Airport, Eureka, NV.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
