ACTION: Notice of expired temporary rules issued.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules
issued by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between February
2006 and January 2008, that expired before they could be published in
the Federal Register. This notice lists temporary safety zones,
security zones, special local regulations, regulated navigation areas
and drawbridge operation regulations, all of limited duration and for
which timely publication in the Federal Register was not possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules between February
9, 2006 and January 12, 2008 that became effective and were terminated
before they could be published in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and
security needs within their jurisdiction; therefore, District
Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain
local regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or
environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in
motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities and may also describe a zone
around a vessel in motion. Special local regulations are issued to
enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas and other
marine events. Drawbridge operation regulations authorize changes to
drawbridge schedules to accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal vessel
traffic, and local public events. Regulated Navigation Areas are water
areas within a defined boundary for which regulations for vessels
navigating within the area have been established by the regional Coast
Guard District Commander. Timely publication of these rules in the
Federal Register is often precluded when a rule responds to an
emergency, or when an event occurs without sufficient advance notice.
The affected public is, however, informed of these rules through Local
Notices to Mariners, press releases, and other means. Moreover, actual
notification is provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the
restrictions imposed by the rule. Because Federal Register publication
was not possible before the beginning of the effective period, mariners
were personally notified of the contents of these safety zones,
security zones, special local regulations, regulated navigation areas
or drawbridge operation regulations by Coast Guard officials' on-scene
prior to any enforcement action. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must
publish in the Federal Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To
meet this obligation without imposing undue expense on the public, the
Coast Guard periodically publishes a list of these temporary safety
zones, security zones, special local regulations, regulated navigation
areas and drawbridge operation regulations. Permanent rules are not
included in this list because they are published in their entirety in
the Federal Register.
     Temporary rules are also published in their entirety if sufficient
time is available to do so before they are placed in effect or
terminated. The temporary rules listed in this notice have been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12666, Regulatory Planning
and Review, because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and
temporary effectiveness.
    The following unpublished rules were placed in effect temporarily
during the period between February 2006 and January 2008, unless
otherwise indicated.

    Dated: September 30, 2009.
S.G. Venckus,
Chief, Office of Regulations and Administrative Law.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R03-OAR-2019-0160; FRL-9995-87-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants; Delaware; Control of Emissions From Existing
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d) plan submitted by the
Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC). This plan was submitted to fulfill the requirements of the CAA
and in response to EPA's promulgation of Emissions Guidelines and
Compliance Times for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The
Delaware plan establishes emission limits for existing MSW landfills,
and provides for the implementation and enforcement of those limits.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 31, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2019-0160 at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On August 29, 2016, the EPA finalized Standards of Performance for
MSW landfills and Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for MSW
landfills in 40 CFR part 60 subpart XXX and Cf. 81 FR 59332 and 81 FR
59313, respectively. These actions were taken under section 111 of the
CAA. Section 111(d) of the CAA requires EPA to establish a procedure
for a state to submit a plan to EPA which establishes standards of
performance for any air pollutant: (1) For which air quality criteria
have not been issued or which is not included on a list published under
CAA section 108 or emitted from a source category which is regulated
under CAA section 112 but (2) to which a standard of performance under
CAA section 111 would apply if such existing source were a new source.
EPA established these requirements for state plan submittal in 40 CFR
part 60, subpart B. State submittals under CAA sections 111(d) must be
consistent with the relevant emission guidelines, in this instance 40
CFR part 60, subpart Cf, and the requirements of 40 CFR part 60,
subpart B and part 62, subpart A. On October 10, 2017, DNREC submitted
to EPA a formal section 111(d) plan for existing municipal solid waste
landfills. The submitted section 111(d) was in response to the August
29, 2016 promulgation of Federal New Source Performance Standards and
Emission Guidelines requirements for MSW landfills, 40 CFR part 60,
subparts XXX and Cf, respectively (76 FR 15372).

II. Summary of the Plan and EPA Analysis

    EPA has reviewed the Delaware section 111(d) plan submittal in the
context of the requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subparts B and Cf, and
part 62, subpart A. In this action, EPA is proposing to determine that
the submitted section 111(d) plan meets the above-cited requirements.
Included within the section 111(d) plan are regulations under the
Delaware Administrative Code, specifically DE Admin. Code 1120 (Section
30), entitled ``Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills After July 11, 2017.'' Section 30 of DE Admin. Code 1120,
which is included in the Plan, applies to each municipal solid waste
landfill, open or closed, that commenced construction, reconstruction,
or modification after July 17, 2014 or that has accepted waste after
November 8, 1987 or that has additional capacity available to accept
waste. While Delaware has chosen to regulate new and existing landfills
under the same state regulation, for purposes of this action, the Plan
applies to any Delaware ``designated facility,'' which in the context
of the Emissions Guideline means each existing MSW landfill for which
construction, reconstruction, or modification was commenced on or
before July 17, 2014, which is consistent with the requirements of 40
CFR part 60, subpart Cf. In this action, EPA is proposing to
incorporate by reference (IBR) DE Admin. Code 1120 (Section 30), which
became effective in the State of Delaware on July 11, 2017. A detailed
explanation of the rationale behind this proposed approval is available
in the Technical Support Document (TSD).

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the Delaware section 111(d) plan for
MSW landfills submitted pursuant to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR part 62, subpart I to
reflect this action. This approval is based on the rationale previously
discussed and in further detail in the TSD associated with this action.
The scope of the proposed approval of the section 111(d) plan is
limited to the provisions of 40 CFR parts 60 and 62 for existing MSW
landfills, as referenced in the emission guidelines, subpart Cf. The
EPA Administrator continues to retain authority for approval of
alternative methods to determine the nonmethane organic compound
concentration or a site-specific methane generation rate constant (k),
as stipulated in 40 CFR 60.30f(c), as well as 7 DE Admin. Code 1120
Section 30.1.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference of the state
plan. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing
to incorporate by reference DNREC rules regarding MSW landfills
discussed in section II of this preamble. EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials generally available through the
docket for this action, EPA-R03-OAR-2019-0160, at https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region III Office (please contact
the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    In reviewing state plan submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements
and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);

     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed approval of Delaware's state plan
submittal for existing MSW landfills does not have tribal implications
as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the state plan is not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67362; File No. SR-CME-2012-27]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Rules Relating to Interest Rate Swaps Clearing

July 6, 2012.
    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 June 25, 2012, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (``CME'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change described in Items I and II, below, which items
have been prepared primarily by CME. The Commission is publishing this
Notice and Order to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons, and to approve the proposed rule change on an
accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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

    CME proposes to amend certain rules relating to its interest rate
swap (``IRS'') cleared only offering. The proposed changes make certain
clarifying amendments and corrections to Chapter 8G of the CME
Rulebook. The text of the proposed rule changes is available on the
CME's Web site at http://www.cmegroup.com, at the principal office of
CME, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements
concerning the purpose and basis for the proposed rule changes and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule changes. The
text of these statements and comments may be examined at the places
specified in Item III below. CME has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below,

of the most significant aspects of these statements.

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

    CME proposes to make certain clarifying rule amendments related to
its IRS offering. The first proposed change would correct an
inadvertent omission in Rule 8G07 resulting from a previous filing. The
new language makes clear that the methodology for allocating the IRS
Guaranty Fund \3\ among IRS Clearing Members \4\ is based on the 30-day
trailing average of an IRS Clearing Member's potential residual loss
(``PRL'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ CME's Rulebook defines a ``Guaranty Fund Deposit'' as
``[t]he amount required to be deposited with the [CME] Clearing
House by the clearing member as a guaranty of its obligations to the
Clearing House.''
    \4\ CME's Rulebook defines a ``Clearing Member'' as ``[a] firm
meeting the requirements of, and approved for, clearing membership
at the Exchange. The term `clearing member' as used in the Rules
shall include all clearing member categories set forth in Rule 900,
unless otherwise specified.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The second proposed change makes corrections to CME Rule 8G26,
which currently refers to an IRS Advisory Committee that has never been
formed. The IRS Advisory Committee referenced in Rule 8G26 has been
superseded by other CME IRS working groups.
    CME also notes that it is making certain updates to its Manual of
Operations for IRS in connection with these proposed changes. These
changes can be summarized as follows:
     Eligible maturity dates for IRS denominated in Canadian
Dollars, Japanese Yen, Swiss Francs and Australian Dollars are being
extended to 31 years from the clearing date, primarily to accommodate
forward-starting 30 year swaps;
     The earliest weekly submission time for submission of IRS
is being extended from 1:15 a.m. Eastern Time Monday to 6 p.m. Eastern
Time Sunday;
     The daily end-of-day report sent to IRS clearing members
is being updated to include listed futures and FX pricing information
and changed to align the tenors of certain curves to enhance the
reporting applicable to CME's portfolio margining of futures of IRS;
and
     Several sample reports, field descriptions and product
tables have been removed to simplify the IRS Manual; and
     Certain typographical and grammatical corrections.
    CME notes that it has also submitted the proposed rule changes that
are the subject of this filing to the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (``CFTC''), in CME Submission 12-204.
    CME believes the proposed rule changes are consistent with the
requirements of the Act, including Section 17A,\5\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder, because they involve improvements to CME's IRS
offering for investors that help to: (i) Promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and
derivatives agreements, contracts and transactions; (ii) assure the
safeguarding of securities and funds that are in CME's custody or
control; and (iii) protect investors and the public interest. CME also
observes that the proposed rule changes are limited to the clearing of
swaps, and thus relate solely to the CME's swaps clearing activities
pursuant to its registration as a derivatives clearing organization
under the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA''), and do not significantly
affect any of CME's securities clearing operations, or any related
rights or obligations of CME or persons using such service. CME further
notes that the policies of the CEA with respect to clearing are
comparable to a number of the policies underlying the Act, such as
promoting market transparency for over-the-counter derivatives markets,
promoting the prompt and accurate clearance of transactions and
protecting investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule changes will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding these proposed rule changes. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
changes are consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any
of the following methods:
     Electronic comments may be submitted by using the

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    Section 19(b) of the Act \6\ directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization. In particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) \7\ of the Act
requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be
designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions, assure the safeguarding of securities and
funds that are in the custody or control of the clearing agency, or for
which it is responsible, and protect investors and

the public interest. The Commission finds that the proposed
clarifications to the manner in which CME allocates guaranty fund
obligations among its members are consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act because the clarifications should allow
CME's Members to better monitor their financial status and risk-
management procedures. This, in turn, should enhance CME's ability to
safeguard the securities and funds in its custody or control, or for
which it is responsible.\8\

    \8\ See 15 U.S.C. 78q-1. In approving these proposed rule
changes, the Commission has considered the proposed rule changes'
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its filing, CME requested that the Commission approve these
proposed rule changes prior to the thirtieth day after the date of
publication of the notice of the filing. CME has articulated three
reasons for so granting approval. First, CME notes that the products
covered by this filing, and CME's operations as a derivatives clearing
organization for such products, are regulated by the CFTC under the
CEA. Second, CME observes that the proposed rule changes relate solely
to interest rate swap clearing, and therefore relate solely to CME's
swaps clearing activities, and do not significantly relate to the CME's
functions as a clearing agency for security-based swaps. Third, CME
contends that not approving this request on an accelerated basis will
have a significant impact on the swaps clearing business of CME as a
designated clearing organization.
    The Commission finds good cause for granting approval of the
proposed rule changes prior to the thirtieth day after publication of
the notice of filing because: (i) The proposed rule changes do not
significantly affect any of CME's securities clearing operations or any
related rights or obligations of CME or persons using such service;
(ii) CME has indicated that not providing accelerated approval would
have a significant impact on its business as a designated clearing
organization; and (iii) the activity relating to CME's non-security
clearing operations for which CME is seeking approval is subject to
regulation by another federal regulator.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
that the proposed rule change (SR-CME-2012-27) be, and hereby is,
approved on an accelerated basis.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9\
