Airworthiness Directives; Learjet, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Learjet, Inc., Model 60 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an
evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the
upper fuselage skin under the aft oxygen line fairing is subject to
multi-site damage (MSD). This AD requires a one-time inspection of the
fuselage skin for corrosion, and related investigative and corrective
actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 22, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 22,
2017.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Learjet, Inc.,
Model 60 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
December 20, 2016 (81 FR 92745) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted
by an evaluation by the DAH indicating that the upper fuselage skin
under the aft oxygen line fairing is subject to MSD. The NPRM proposed
to require a one-time inspection of the fuselage skin for corrosion,
and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion of the fuselage skin,
which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to that comment.

Request To Require Repetitive Inspections

    An anonymous commenter stated that given the cause is unknown, a
one-time inspection is insufficient to protect against corrosion. The
commenter stated

that we should require more frequent inspections.
    We partially agree with the commenter. We understand the concern
that repetitive inspections might be necessary to reduce the damage
caused by corrosion. However, the required inspection is considered to
be interim action, and in order to establish meaningful inspection
intervals without causing excessive expense to operators, this AD
requires owners/operators to report the extent of corrosion on their
airplanes along with the total time (i.e., flight hours) and total
number of landings on the airplanes. Using this information, the FAA
will be able to gain a better understanding of the damage to the fleet.
This will allow us to determine if additional corrective action is
needed and what the appropriate action should be. It also will provide
justification as to whether or not further rulemaking is needed. We
have not changed this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Learjet 60 Service Bulletin 60-53-19, Revision 3, dated
August 29, 2016. The service information describes procedures for
inspections of the fuselage crown skin for corrosion, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. Because the cause of the
corrosion is not known, the inspection reports will help determine the
extent of the corrosion in the affected fleet. Based on the results of
these reports, we might determine that further corrective action is
warranted. Once further corrective action has been identified, we might
consider further rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 284 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
               Action                         Labor cost            Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspections........................  46 work-hours x $85 per                $265          $4,175      $1,185,700
                                      hour = $3,910.
Reporting..........................  1 work-hour x $85 per hour                0              85          24,140
                                      = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Sec. 2 2. Federal Agency Responsibilities for Federal Programs. Each Federal agency shall conduct its programs, policies, and activities that substantially affect human health or the environment, in a manner that ensures that such programs, policies, and activities do not have the effect of excluding persons ( including populations) from participation in, denying persons ( including populations) the benefits of, or subjecting persons ( including populations) to discrimination under, such programs, policies, and activities, because of their race, color, or national origin.

Sec. 3 3. Research, Data Collection, and Analysis.

3 301. Human Health and Environmental Research and Analysis.

To the extent practical and appropriate, Federal agencies shall use this information to determine whether their programs, policies, and activities have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations and low income populations; ( b) In connection with the development and implementation of agency strategies in section 1 103 of this order, each Federal agency, whenever practicable and appropriate, shall collect, maintain and analyze information on the race, national origin, income level, and other readily accessible and appropriate information for areas surrounding facilities or sites expected to have a substantial environmental, human health, or economic effect on the surrounding populations, when such facilities or sites become the subject of a substantial Federal environmental administrative or judicial action. Such information shall be made available to the public, unless prohibited by law; and ( c) Each Federal agency, whenever practicable and appropriate, shall collect, maintain, and analyze information on the race, national origin, income level, and other readily accessible and appropriate information for areas surrounding Federal facilities that are: ( 1) subject to the reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, 42 U. S. C. section 11001 11050 as mandated in Executive Order No. 12856; and ( 2) expected to have a substantial environmental, human health, or economic effect on surrounding populations. Such information shall be made available to the public, unless prohibited by law. ( d) In carrying out the responsibilities in this section, each Federal agency, whenever practicable and appropriate, shall share information and eliminate unnecessary duplication of efforts through the use of existing data systems and cooperative agreements among Federal agencies and with State, local, and tribal governments.

Sec. 4 4. Subsistence Consumption of Fish and Wildlife.

4 401. Consumption Patterns. In order to assist in identifying the need for ensuring protection of populations with differential patterns of subsistence consumption of fish and wildlife, Federal agencies, whenever practicable and appropriate, shall collect, maintain, and analyze information on the consumption patterns of populations who principally rely on fish and/ or wildlife for subsistence. Federal agencies shall communicate to the public the risks of those consumption patterns.

4 402. Guidance. Federal agencies, whenever practicable and appropriate, shall work in a coordinated manner to publish guidance reflecting the latest scientific information available concerning methods for evaluating the human health risks associated with the consumption of pollutant bearing fish or wildlife. Agencies shall consider such guidance in developing their policies and rules.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

February 11, 1994.

[ FR Doc. 94 3685 Filed 2 14 94; 3: 07 pm] Billing code 3195 01 P  Memorandum from the President which accompanied EO follows:

*********************************************** THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 11, 1994 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF ALL DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES SUBJECT: Executive Order on Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations Today I have issued an Executive Order on Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations. That order is designed to focus Federal attention on the environmental and human health conditions in minority communities and low income communities with the goal of achieving environmental justice. That order is also intended to promote non discrimination in Federal programs substantially affecting human health and the environment, and to provide minority communities and low income communities access to public information on, and an opportunity for public participation in, matters relating to human health or the environment.

The purpose of this separate memorandum is to underscore certain provision of existing law that can help ensure that all communities and persons across this Nation live in a safe and healthful environment. Environmental and civil rights statutes provide many opportunities to address environmental hazards in minority communities and lowincome communities. Application of these existing statutory provisions is an important part of this Administration's efforts to prevent those minority communities and low income communities from being subject to disproportionately high and adverse environmental effects. I am therefore today directing that all department and agency heads take appropriate and necessary steps to ensure that the following specific directives are implemented immediately:

In accordance with Title VI of the Civil lights Act of 1964, each Federal agency shall ensure that all programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance that affect human health or the environment do not directly, or through contractual or other arrangements, use criteria, methods, or practices that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Each Federal agency shall analyze the environmental effects, including human health, economic and social effects, of Federal actions, including effects on minority communities and low income communities, when such analysis is required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( NEPA), 42 U. S. C. section # 321 et seq. . Mitigation measures outlined or analyzed in an environmental assessment, environmental impact statement, or record of decision, whenever feasible, should address significant and adverse environmental effects of proposed Federal actions on minority communities and lowincome communities.

Each Federal agency shall provide opportunities for community input in the NEPA process, including identifying potential effects and mitigation measures in consultation with affected communities and improving the accessibility of meetings, crucial documents, and notices.

The Environmental Protection Agency, when reviewing environmental effects of proposed action of other Federal agencies under section 309 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U. S. C. section 760, shall ensure that the involved agency has fully analyzed environmental effects on minority communities and low income communities, including human health, social, and economic effects.

Each Federal agency shall ensure that the public, including minority communities and low income communities, has adequate access to public information relating to human health or environmental planning, regulations, and enforcement when required under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U. S. C. section 552, the Sunshine Act, 5 U. S. C. section 552h, and the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, 42 U. S. C. section 11044.

***

This memorandum is intended only to improve the internal management of the Executive Branch and is not intended to, nor does it create, any right, benefit, or trust responsibility, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.

William Clinton 1.

    Abstract: Section 608 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), also known as the
National Recycling and Emission Reduction Program (the Program),
directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue regulations
governing the use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), including
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), during
the maintenance, service, repair, or disposal of air-conditioning and
refrigeration appliances. Section 608 also prohibits knowingly venting
or releasing ozone-depleting and substitute refrigerants in the course
of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or
industrial process refrigeration except for de minimis releases
associated with good faith attempts to recycle or recover refrigerants.
The regulations require persons servicing refrigeration and air-
conditioning appliances to follow certain service practices that reduce
emissions of refrigerants. The regulations also establish certification
programs for technicians, recovery/recycling equipment, and refrigerant
reclamation. In addition, EPA requires that refrigerants contained in
appliances be removed prior to disposal of the appliances and that all
refrigeration and air-conditioning appliances be provided with a
servicing aperture that facilitates recovery of the refrigerant. The
Agency requires that substantial refrigerant leaks in appliances
containing ozone-depleting refrigerant be repaired when they are
discovered.
    Form Numbers: 5900-404, 5900-405, 5900-407.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities required to comply with
reporting and recordkeeping requirements include technicians;
technician certification programs; refrigerant wholesalers; refrigerant
reclaimers; refrigerant recovery equipment certification programs;
certain refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment owners and/or
operators; and other establishments that perform refrigerant removal,
service, or disposal.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 82,
subpart F).
    Estimated number of respondents: 572,727 (total).
    Frequency of response: The frequency of responses varies from once
a year to daily.
    Total estimated burden: 425,514 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $31,432,946 (per year), includes $0
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,845 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to adjusted respondent estimates
for appliance leak repair and retrofit or retirement plan extension
requests based on recently available industry data and reported
activity.

Program To Permit BOX To Accept Inbound Routes by NOS

 July 15, 2011.

    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 July 13, 2011, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX'' or the ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 Exchange proposes to request permanent approval of the
Exchange's pilot program to permit the Boston Options Exchange
(``BOX'') to accept inbound routes by NASDAQ Options Services, LLC
(``NOS'') of Nasdaq Options Market (``NOM'') Exchange Direct Orders
without checking the NOM book and 2) NOM non-System securities,
including Exchange Direct Orders.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Pursuant to Chapter VI, Section 1(b) of the NOM rules,
``System Securities'' are all options that are currently trading on
NOM pursuant to Chapter IV of the NOM rules. All other options are
``Non-System Securities.'' [sic] Chapter VI, Section (1)(e)(7) of
the NOM Rules, Exchange Direct Orders are orders that route directly
to other Options Markets on an immediate-or-cancel basis without
checking the NOM book for liquidity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXPHLX/Filings/, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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, 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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Currently, NOS is the approved outbound routing facility of the
NASDAQ Stock Market (the ``NASDAQ Exchange'') for NOM, providing
outbound routing from NOM to other market centers.\4\ The Exchange and
the NASDAQ Exchange have previously adopted rules to permit BOX to
receive inbound routes of certain option orders, specifically (1)
Exchange Direct Orders without checking the NOM book prior to routing,
and (2) NOM non-system securities, by NOS on a pilot basis.\5\ The
Exchange specifically has adopted a rule to prevent potential
information advantages resulting from the affiliation between BOX and
NOS, as related to NOS's authority to route orders from NOM to BOX.\6\
NOS's authority to route these orders to BOX is subject to a pilot
period ending on August 16, 2011.\7\ The Exchange hereby seeks
permanent approval to permit BOX to accept inbound routes of (1)
Exchange Direct Orders without checking the NOM book and (2) NOM non-
System securities, including Exchange Direct Orders that NOS routes
from NOM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ NOM Rule Chapter VI, Section 11(c). Under NOM Rule Chapter
VI, Section 11(c): (1) NOM routes orders in options via NOS, which
serves as the sole ``routing facility'' of NOM; (2) the sole
function of the routing facility is to route orders in options to
away markets pursuant to NOM rules, solely on behalf of NOM; (3) NOS
is a member of an unaffiliated self-regulatory organization, which
is the designated examining authority for the broker-dealer; (4) the
routing facility is subject to regulation as a facility of the
NASDAQ Exchange, including the requirement to file proposed rule
changes under Section 19 of the Act; (5) use of NOS to route order
to other market centers is optional; (6) NOM must establish and
maintain procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to
adequately restrict the flow of confidential and proprietary
information between the NASDAQ Exchange and its facilities
(including the routing facility), and any other entity; and (7) the
books, records, premises, officers, directors, agents, and employees
of the routing facility, as a facility of the NASDAQ Exchange, shall
be subject at all times to inspection and copying by the NASDAQ
Exchange and the Commission.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 60349 (July 20,
2009), 74 FR 37071 (July 27, 2009) (SR-BX-2009-035); 60354 (July 21,

2011), 76 FR 30746 (May 26, 2011) (SR-BX-2011-027).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to prior rule filings with the Commission, BOX and NOS
inbound routing relationship with respect to certain orders has
operated on a pilot basis. In connection with this pilot program, BX
committed to the following:
    1. The Exchange and FINRA would enter into a regulatory services
agreement (``Regulatory Contract'') pursuant to which FINRA has been
allocated regulatory responsibilities to review NOS's compliance with
BOX's rules through FINRA's examination program.\8\ The Exchange,
however, retained ultimate responsibility for enforcing its rules with
respect to NOS except to the extent that they are covered by an
agreement with FINRA pursuant to Rule 17d-2 \9\ under the Act (``17d-2
Agreement''), in which case the regulatory responsibility is allocated
to FINRA as provided in Rule 17d-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange also states that NOS is subject to independent
oversight by FINRA, its Designated Examining Authority, for
compliance with financial responsibility requirements. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60349 (July 20, 2009), 74 FR
37071 (July 27, 2009) (SR-BX-2009-035).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.17d-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. The Exchange and FINRA would monitor NOS for compliance with the

BOX's trading rules, and collect and maintain certain related
information; \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Pursuant to the Regulatory Contract, both FINRA and the
Exchange will collect and maintain all alerts, complaints,
investigations and enforcement actions in which NOS (in routing
orders to BOX) is identified as a participant that has potentially
violated applicable Commission or Exchange rules. The Exchange and
FINRA will retain these records in an easily accessible manner in
order to facilitate any potential review conducted by the
Commission's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. FINRA has agreed to provide a report to the BOXR's Chief
Regulatory Officer, on at least a quarterly basis, that: (i) Quantifies
all alerts (of which the Exchange and FINRA become aware) that identify
NOS as a participant that has potentially violated Commission or
Exchange rules and (ii) quantifies the number of investigations that
identify NOS as a participant that has potentially violated Commission
or Exchange rules; \11\
    4. BX adopted Chapter XXXIX, Section 2(c) of the Grandfathered
Rules of the Exchange, which requires NASDAQ OMX, as the holding
company owning NOS and affiliated with BOX through the ownership of the
Exchange, to establish and maintain procedures and internal controls
reasonably designed to ensure that NOS does not develop or implement
changes to its system on the basis of non-public information regarding
planned changes to BOX's systems, obtained as a result of its
affiliation with BOX, until such information is available generally to
similarly situated BOX participants, in connection with the provision
of inbound order routing to BOX; \12\ and

of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. The Exchange proposed that NOS be authorized to route Exchange
Direct Orders without checking the NOM book; and orders in NOM non-
system securities inbound to the Exchange from NOM for a pilot period
of twelve months, as further extended to August 16, 2011.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See supra note 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has met all the above-listed conditions. By meeting
the above-conditions, the Exchange has set up mechanisms that protect
the independence of the Exchange's regulatory responsibility with
respect to NOS, as well as demonstrate that NOS cannot use any
information advantage it may have because of its affiliation with the
Exchange and BOX. Since the Exchange has met all the above-listed
conditions, it now seeks permanent approval of the BOX and NOS inbound
routing relationship. The Exchange will continue to comply with the
conditions 1-4 stated above.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\14\ in general, and with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\15\ in particular, in that the proposal is
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Specifically,
the proposed rule change would permit inbound routing of orders from
NOM to BOX through NOS in a manner consistent with prior approvals and
established protections. The Exchange believes that having met the
commitments established during the pilot program demonstrates that the
Exchange has mechanisms that protect the independence of the Exchange's
regulatory responsibility with respect to NOS, as well as demonstrate
that NOS cannot use any information advantage it may have because of
its affiliation with the Exchange and BOX.

impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82775; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2018-014]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Update Rule 4758 To Reflect the Name Change of NYSE MKT to NYSE
American

February 26, 2018.
    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 February 14, 2018, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to update Rule 4758 to reflect the name
change of NYSE MKT to NYSE American.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, 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, the Exchange 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. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed change is to update Rule 4758 to
reflect the name change of NYSE MKT to NYSE American. Rule 4758
concerns order routing and paragraph (1)(A) thereunder provides various
routing options market participants may choose for their orders. The
DOT,\3\ DOTI,\4\ and LIST \5\ routing options allow a market
participant to route its orders to NYSE MKT. Effective on July 24,
2017, NYSE MKT was renamed NYSE American.\6\ Accordingly, the Exchange
is proposing to make a technical change to Rule 4758 to reflect the new
name of NYSE MKT--NYSE American.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Rule 4758(a)(1)(A)(i).
    \4\ See Rule 4758(a)(1)(A)(ii).
    \5\ See Rule 4758(a)(1)(A)(x).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80283 (March 21,

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

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest,
by avoiding market participant confusion that may be caused by having
an inaccurate national securities exchange name referenced in the
Exchange's rulebook.

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change will make a
technical change to Rule 4758 to reflect the accurate name of a
national securities exchange. As such, the Exchange does not believe
that the proposal will place any burden on competition whatsoever.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(3) \10\ thereunder in that
the proposed rule change is concerned solely with the administration of
the Exchange.

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

1 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB Methomyl is a member of the N methyl carbamate ( NMC) common mechanism group based on its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase via carbamylation. The Agency has previously completed the acute, aggregate ( single chemical,

multi route) risk assessment of methomyl. At the present time, the Agency is considering the use of the methomyl acute oral, human toxicity study to inform the inter species uncertainty factor used in the cumulative risk assessment of the NMCs. 2 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 1. Scientific considerations:

The Agency's WOE document and DER for methomyl describe the study design and results of the methomyl acute oral, human study. The WOE document also discusses the Agency's conclusions regarding the usefulness of the human study in the cumulative risk assessment for the NMCs. For methomyl, the Agency has concluded that the human toxicity study supports a 10X inter species uncertainty factor for methomyl in the cumulative risk assessment of the NMCs.

Please comment on the scientific evidence that supports this conclusion. 3 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations:

a. The Agency requests that the Board provide comment on the following:

 Whether the investigators' decision to administer a dose to additional subjects in session 3, when one subject receiving that dose in session 2 displayed RBC ChEI greater than 40%, a response that triggered the protocol's anti escalation provision, should be considered significantly deficient relative to the ethical standards prevailing when the study was conducted; 4 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations, cont'd:

a. cont'd. The Agency requests that the Board provide comment on the following:

 Whether the timing of the investigators' report to the ethics committee of the adverse effects observed in one subject during session 2 should be considered significantly deficient relative to the ethical standards prevailing when the study was conducted; 5 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations, cont'd:

a. cont'd. The Agency requests that the Board provide comment on the following:

 Whether the failure of the investigators to request approval from the ethics committee for certain amendments to the approved protocol, as required by the protocol, when the changes were administrative and had no effect on the safety of the subjects should be considered significantly deficient relative to the ethical standards prevailing when the study was conducted; and 6 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations, cont'd:

a. cont'd. The Agency requests that the Board provide comment on the following:

 Whether the absence from the protocol of discussion of the potential risks to subjects or benefits to society of conducting the proposed research ( as required by the Declaration of Helsinki, Principle # 5) should be considered significantly deficient relative to the ethical standards prevailing when the study was conducted; and 7 Methomyl Methomyl Charge to the HSRB Charge to the HSRB 2. Ethical considerations, cont'd:

b. The Agency asks that the Board provide comment on the following, taking into account all that is known about the ethical conduct of this study:

 OPP's conclusion that there is not clear and convincing evidence that the conduct of the research was fundamentally unethical.

 Whether there is clear and convincing evidence that the conduct of the study was significantly deficient relative to the ethical standards prevailing when the study was conducted

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0764]

Safety Zone; Annual Swim for Alligator Reef Lighthouse,
Islamorada, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the temporary safety zone for the
6th Annual Swim for Alligator Reef Lighthouse, Islamorada, Florida from
6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on September 15, 2018. Our regulation for
Recurring Safety Zones in Captain of the Port Key West Zone identifies
the regulated area for this event. This action is necessary to ensure
the safety of event participants and spectators. During the enforcement
period, no person or vessel may enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the regulated area without approval from the Captain of
the Port Key West or a designated representative.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.786, Table to Sec.  165.786, Line
No. 9.1 will be enforced from 6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on September
15, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this notice,
call or email Gregory Bergstrom, Sector Key West Waterways Management
Department, Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety
zones in 33 CFR 165.786, Table to Sec.  165.786, Line No. 9.1, from
6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on September 15, 2018, for the annual Swim
for Alligator Reef Lighthouse in Islamorada, Florida. Our regulation
for Recurring Safety Zones in Captain of the Port Key West Zone, Sec.
165.786, Line No. 9.1, specifies the location of the regulated area as
all within 50 yards in front of the lead safety vessel preceding the
first event participants, 50 yards behind the safety vessel trailing
the last event participants, and at all times extend 100 yards on
either side of the safety vessels.
    This action prevents vessels from transiting areas specifically
designated as safety zones during the periods of enforcement. During
the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter, transit through,
anchor within, or remain within the established regulated areas without
approval from the Captain of the Port Key West or designated
representative. The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal,
State, or local law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
    The Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated area by Local
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners. If the Captain of
the Port Key West determines that the regulated area need not be
enforced for the full duration stated in this publication, he or she
may use a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to
enter the regulated area.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2013-0817; FRL-9908-01-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of
Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) which
were submitted to EPA on July 12, 2012. This submission revises two
heavy duty diesel vehicle idling rules that are applicable in Kansas
City and St. Louis. This revision provides clarity to the rules in the
applicability section by listing owners and operators of passenger
load/unload locations where commercial, public and institutional heavy-
duty vehicles load or unload passengers. The affected parties were
unintentionally omitted from the applicability section of the rule even
though they are required to comply with the rule in the general
provisions section. These revisions do not have an adverse affect on
air quality. EPA's approval of these SIP revisions is being done in
accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Comment by April 17, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2013-0817, by mail to Paula Higbee, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,
Lenexa, Kansas 66219. Comments may also be submitted electronically or
through hand delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in
the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paula Higbee, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,
Lenexa, Kansas 66219 at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no relevant adverse comments
to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in
the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in
response to this action, no further activity is contemplated in
relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 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
action. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at
this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of
this rule and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the
rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts 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.
