Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend the Marketing Fee Program

August 6, 2009.
    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 31, 2009, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' 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 CBOE.
CBOE has designated this proposal as one establishing or changing a
due, fee, or other charge applicable only to a member under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested parties.

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

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

    CBOE proposes to amend its Marketing Fee Program. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://
www.cboe.org/Legal/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CBOE 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 CBOE 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

(a) Purpose
    Currently, CBOE's marketing fee is assessed only on transactions of
Market-Makers, e-DPMs, and DPMs, resulting from (i) orders for less
than 1,000 contracts from payment accepting firms, or (ii) customer
orders for less than 1,000 contracts that have designated a ``Preferred
Market-Maker'' under CBOE Rule 8.13. CBOE proposes to amend its
marketing fee program such that the fee will be assessed on
transactions of Market-Makers, e-DPMs, and DPMs resulting from customer
orders for less than 1,000 contracts from payment accepting firms. CBOE
believes that limiting the collection of the fee to transactions
resulting from customer orders for less than 1,000 contracts from
payment accepting firms is appropriate and will continue to allow its
DPMs to compete for order flow.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ CBOE notes that in the past, its marketing fee was assessed
on transactions resulting from customer orders. See Securities
Exchange Act Rel. No. 34-50736 (11/24/04), 69 FR 69966 (12/1/04)
(SR-CBOE-2004-68).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE will continue to assess the fee on transactions resulting from
customer orders for less than 1,000 contracts that have designated a
``Preferred Market-Maker'' under CBOE Rule 8.13. CBOE proposes to
implement this change to the marketing fee program beginning on August
1, 2009.
    Additionally, CBOE proposes to amend the marketing fee program to
eliminate a limitation pertaining to the manner in which DPMs use the
funds made available to them to attract order flow to CBOE. Currently,
the funds made available to DPMs can only be used to attract orders in
the option classes at the trading station where the fee is assessed.
CBOE imposed this limitation at a time when CBOE Market-Makers'
appointments consisted of those option classes located at a particular
trading station. Market-Makers were required by rule to be physically
present in the trading station in order to quote electronically into
the classes at that station. As a result (and as discussed in CBOE's
rule filing SR-CBOE-2004-58; Rel. No. 34-51429), Market-Makers
effectively had a ``one-station'' appointment.
    CBOE subsequently amended its rules to provide the same flexibility
to its on-floor Market-Makers that its former Remote Market-Makers
(``RMM'') had. (CBOE eliminated its RMM program a couple years ago and
all former RMMs were designated as Market-Makers with the same trading
privileges.) Today, as Rule 8.3(c)(i) makes clear, Market-Makers create
customized class appointments, called ``virtual trading crowd''
appointments, which allow Market-Makers to quote electronically into
various option classes irrespective of their geographic location on
CBOE's trading floor. Additionally, as Rule 8.3(c)(ii) states, Market-
Makers have an appointment to trade in open outcry in all Hybrid
classes traded on CBOE, meaning that they are free to go from trading
crowd to trading crowd to trade in open outcry in any Hybrid option
class. Market-Makers are not required to be on the trading floor to
submit electronic quotations into their appointed classes (see Rule
8.3(c)(v)) and also are permitted to enter orders electronically in
non-appointed option classes (see Rule 8.7(b)(iii)B). Also, CBOE has
established Off-Floor DPMs, and the option classes formerly located at
one trading station can be relocated among various trading stations--
even though the same DPM organization continues to function now as the
Off-Floor DPM. As a result of all of these changes, this limitation has
become unnecessary.
    For an example of this proposed change, assume the same DPM
operated at two different trading stations on CBOE's trading floor:
Station 1 and Station 5. If $10,000 was generated from the marketing
fee in a given month from transactions in option classes located at
Station 1 and $15,000 from Station 5, under CBOE's proposed change a
total of $25,000 would be made available to the DPM for the month, and
the DPM could use the funds to attract order flow in the option classes
located at Stations 1 and 5. (This example assumes none of these funds
were made available to Preferred Market-Makers.) CBOE believes that
this is fair and reasonable in light of the manner in which Market-
Makers function today on CBOE as described above.
    Finally, CBOE proposes to delete reference in footnote 6 to two
option classes it no longer trades: BXO and RUH.
    CBOE is not amending its marketing fee program in any other
respects.
(b) Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that it
is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among persons using its facilities.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of [sic] purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing rule change establishes or changes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and subparagraph (f)(2)
of Rule 19b-4 \9\ thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such
rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

    What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?
[Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-0333.]
    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
suppliers of certain products that will emit GHG when released,
combusted, or oxidized, motor vehicle and engine manufacturers,
including aircraft engine manufacturers; facilities in certain
industrial categories that emit greenhouse gases; and facilities that
emit 25,000 metric tons or more of carbon dioxide equivalent
(CO2 e) per year.
    Title: Information Collection Request for the Greenhouse Gas
Reporting Program.
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2300.17
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2016. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the
EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: In response to the FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act
(H.R. 2764; Pub. L. 110-161) and under authority of the Clean Air Act,
the EPA finalized the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (GHG
Reporting Rule) (74 FR 56260; October 30, 2009). The GHG Reporting
Rule, which became effective on December 29, 2009, establishes
reporting requirements for certain large facilities and suppliers. It
does not require control of greenhouse gases. Instead, it requires that
sources emitting above certain threshold levels of (CO2 e)
monitor and report emissions.
    Subsequent rules have promulgated requirements for additional
facilities, suppliers, and mobile sources; provided clarification and
corrections to existing requirements; finalized confidentiality
business information (CBI) determinations, amended recordkeeping
requirements, and implemented an alternative verification approach.
Collectively, the GHG Reporting Rule and its associated rulemakings are
referred to as the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP).
    The purpose for this ICR is to renew and revise the GHG Reporting
Rule ICR to update and consolidate the burdens and costs imposed by all
of the current ICRs under the GHGRP.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.24
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the EPA's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    1. Estimated total number of potential respondents: 9,899.
    2. Frequency of response: Annual, quarterly.
    3. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
72.
    4. Estimated total annual burden hours: 903,871 hours. This
includes estimated total respondent hours of 878,911 hours and
estimated total EPA hours of 24,960 hours.
    5. Estimated total annual costs: $113,837,441. This includes an
estimated cost of $38,477,161 for capital investment as well as
maintenance and operational costs, an estimated respondent burden cost
of $63,360,249, and an estimated EPA cost of $12,000,030.
    Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is
a decrease of 102,121 hours in the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the last ICR renewal. This change in
burden reflects an adjustment in the number of respondents from
projected to actual, an adjustment of labor rates and capital costs to
reflect 2013 dollars, a re-evaluation of the activities and costs
associated with Subparts W and RR, and the addition of new segments and
new reporters under Subpart W.
    What is the next step in the process for this ICR? The EPA will
consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The
final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, the EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Dated: October 28, 2015.

Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
    This cancellation order follows a March 25, 2019 Federal Register
Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of
Unit II, to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the
March 25, 2019 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive
comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further
review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their
requests. The Agency received two anonymous public comments on the
notice but none merited its further review of the requests.
    Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of
the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks
provisions.

DATES: The cancellations are effective May 20, 2019.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    The Agency received two anonymous public comments on the notice,
but didn't merit its further review of the requests. For this reason,
the Agency does not believe that the comments submitted during the
comment period merit further review or a denial of the requests for
voluntary cancellation.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II, are canceled.
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
notice is May 20, 2019. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, in a manner
inconsistent with any of the provisions for disposition of existing
stocks set forth in Unit VI, will be a violation of FIFRA.

V. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, following the public comment period, the EPA
Administrator may approve such a request. The notice of receipt for
this action was published for comment in the Federal Register of March
25, 2019 (84 FR 11087) (FRL-9990-87). The comment period closed on
April 24, 2019.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action.

The existing stocks provisions for the products subject to this order
are as follows.
    The registrants may continue to sell and distribute existing stocks
of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until May 20, 2020, which is
1 year after the publication of the Cancellation Order in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the registrants are prohibited from selling or
distributing products listed in Table 1, except for export in
accordance with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o), or proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrants may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, until
existing stocks are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution,
or use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling
on, or that accompanied, the canceled products.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31041; Amdt. No. 3664]

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 removes 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 for the 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 October 16, 2015. 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 October 16, 2015.

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

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Procedures
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
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 (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20.
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 on FAA form documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides
the affected CFRs, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs with their applicable effective dates. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure and the
amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent 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 and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, 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 that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R01-OAR-2016-0168; FRL-10414-02-R1]

Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Plan Submittals for the 2008
Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending approved
State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of
Connecticut to address SIP revisions submitted to meet moderate area
nonattainment requirements for the 2008 ozone standard. The SIP
revisions are for the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion
of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate
ozone nonattainment areas, and include these areas 2011 base year
emissions inventories, an emissions statement certification, reasonable
further progress (RFP) demonstrations, reasonably available control
measures (RACM) analyses, motor vehicle emissions budgets, and
contingency measures. This rule does not change any final action taken
by EPA in an earlier final rule published on October 1, 2018; this
action merely corrects the Clean Air Act (CAA) citation for moderate
area contingency measures.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 30, 2022.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R01-OAR-2016-0168. All documents in the docket
are listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed

I. Background and Purpose

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background and Purpose

    On October 1, 2018, a Final Rule published at 83 FR 49297 (FR doc.
2018-21150). EPA has identified the need for a typographical correction
to the regulatory text approved into the Code of Federal Regulations by
FR Rule Doc. 2018-21150. The typographical error appears on page 49298,
in the second column, in Sec.  52.377, in amendment 2, within the added
paragraph (t).

II. Final Action

    The EPA is revising a final rule that was published in the Federal
Register on October 1, 2018, which became effective on October 31,
2018, correcting a typographical error to 40 CFR 52.377(t). The final
rule approved SIP revisions submitted by the State of Connecticut to
address SIP revisions submitted to meet moderate area nonattainment
requirements for the 2008 ozone standard. The SIP revisions are for the
Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion of the New York-
Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate ozone nonattainment
areas, and include these areas 2011 base year emissions inventories, an
emissions statement certification, RFP demonstrations, RACM analyses,
motor vehicle emissions budgets, and contingency measures. This
revision does not change any final action taken by EPA on October 1,
2018; this action merely corrects the CAA citation for moderate area
contingency measures. We have determined that there is good cause for
making this rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for
comment because we are merely correcting an incorrect citation in a
previous action. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We
find that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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 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);
     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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide 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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

2. Section 52.377 is amended by revising paragraph (t) to read as
follows:

Sec.  52.377  Control strategy: Ozone.

* * * * *
    (t) Approval. Revisions to the State Implementation Plan submitted
by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on
January 17, 2017, September 5, 2017, and August 8, 2017, to meet, in
part, requirements of the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These revisions satisfy the
rate of progress requirement of section 182(b) through 2017, the
contingency measure requirements of section 172(c)(9), the emission
statement requirements of section 182(a)(3)(B), and the reasonably
available control measure requirement of section 172(c)(1) for the
Connecticut portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
NY-NJ-CT area, and the Greater Connecticut moderate ozone nonattainment
areas. The January 17, 2017 revision establishes motor vehicle
emissions budgets for 2017 of 15.9 tons per day of VOC and 22.2 tons
per day of NOX to be used in transportation conformity in
the Greater Connecticut moderate ozone nonattainment area. The August
8, 2017 revision establishes motor vehicle emissions budgets for 2017
of 17.6 tons per day of VOC and 24.6 tons per day of NOX to
be used in transportation conformity in the Connecticut portion of the
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate ozone
nonattainment area.

III. Description of Programs and Potential Disclosure of Information
Claimed as CBI to Contractors and Subcontractors

    EPA's OECA has responsibility for protecting public health and the
environment by enforcing standards for air pollution. In order to
implement various Clean Air Act and APPS programs, OECA collects
compliance reports and other information from the regulated industry.
Occasionally, the information submitted to, or obtained by, EPA, is
claimed to be CBI by persons submitting data to EPA. Information
submitted under such a claim is handled in accordance with EPA's
regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, and in accordance with EPA
procedures that are consistent with those regulations. When EPA has
determined that disclosure of information claimed as CBI to EPA
contractors or subcontractors is necessary, the corresponding contract
must address the appropriate use and handling of the information by the
EPA contractor and subcontractor and the EPA contractor and
subcontractor must require its personnel who require access to
information claimed as CBI to sign written non-disclosure agreements
before they are granted access to data.
    On May 29, 2019 and January 15, 2020, EPA provided notice in the
Federal Register of, and an opportunity to comment on, EPA's
determination that subcontractors to EPA contractor Eastern Research
Group, Incorporated, (ERG) 14555 Avion Parkway, Suite 200, Chantilly,
VA, 20151, required access to CBI submitted to EPA under section 114 of
the CAA, section 208 of the CAA, and the APPS for the work ERG
subcontractors would be conducting under Contract Number 68HERH19C0004.
See Access by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Subcontractors to Information Claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI) Submitted under Clean Air Act (CAA), Title I,
Programs and Activities Air, and Title II Emission Standards for Moving
Sources, and Act To Prevent Pollution From Ships (APPS), May 29, 2019
(84 FR 24781); Access by United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Subcontractor to Information Claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI) Submitted Under Clean Air Act (CAA), Title I,
Programs And Activities Air, and Title II Emission Standards for Moving
Sources, and Act To Prevent Pollution From Ships (APPS), January 15,
2020 (85 FR 2422). In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), EPA has now
determined that the subcontractor HSG, LLC (DBA Herndon Solutions
Group) also requires access to CBI submitted to EPA under section 114
of the CAA, section 208 of the CAA, and the APPS, and we are providing
notice and an opportunity to comment on HSG, LLC's access to
information claimed as CBI. We are issuing this Federal Register
document to inform all affected submitters of information that we plan
to grant access

to material that may be claimed as CBI to the subcontractor HSG, LLC on
a need-to-know basis.
    Under Contract Number 68HERH19C0004, ERG provides enforcement
support for EPA's regulatory and enforcement activities, including
field inspections, investigations, audits, and other CAA regulatory and
enforcement support that involve access to information claimed as CBI.
ERG also employs subcontractors, who support these activities, under
the above-listed contract. The subcontractor HSG, LLC requires access
to information claimed as CBI to support EPA enforcement activities
described above. Access to data, including information claimed as CBI,
will commence six days after the date of publication of this document
in the Federal Register, and will continue until March 1, 2024. If the
contract and associated subcontracts are extended, this access will
continue for the remainder of the ERG contract without further notice.
If the contract expires prior to March 1, 2024, the access will cease
at that time. If ERG employs additional subcontractors to support EPA
on a regular basis or on a limited or one-time basis under the above-
listed contract, and those subcontractors require access to CBI, EPA
will notify affected companies of the contemplated disclosure and
provide them with an opportunity to comment by either sending them a
letter or by publishing an additional document in the Federal Register.
    Parties who wish to obtain further information about this Federal
Register document, or about OECA's disclosure of information claimed as
CBI to subcontractors, may contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-510, Application for Surrender of a Hydropower License.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0068.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-510 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
    Abstract: The purpose of FERC-510 is to implement information
collections pursuant to sections 4(e), 6, and 13 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 797(e), 799 and 806). Section 4(e) gives the
Commission authority to issue licenses for the purposes of
constructing, operating and maintaining dams, water conduits,
reservoirs, powerhouses, transmission lines or other power project
works necessary or convenient for developing and improving navigation,
transmission and utilization of power using bodies of water over which
Congress has jurisdiction. Section 6 gives the Commission the authority
to prescribe the conditions of licenses including the revocation or
surrender of the license. Section 13 defines the Commission's authority
to delegate time periods for when a license must be terminated if
project construction has not begun. Surrender of a license may be
desired by a licensee when a licensed project is retired or not
constructed or natural catastrophes have damaged or destroyed the
project facilities.
    FERC-510 is the application for the surrender of a hydropower
license.\1\ The information is used by Commission staff to determine
the broad impact of such surrender. The Commission will issue a notice
soliciting comments from the public and other agencies and conduct a
review of the application before issuing an order for Surrender of a
License. The order is the result of an analysis of the information
produced (i.e., dam safety, public safety, and environmental concerns,
etc.), which is examined to determine whether any conditions must be
satisfied before granting the surrender. The order implements the
existing regulations and is inclusive for surrender of all types of
hydropower licenses issued by FERC and its predecessor, the Federal
Power Commission.

    \1\ 18 CFR 6.1-6.4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondent: Private or Municipal Hydropower Licensees.

    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The Commission estimates the total
annual burden and cost \3\ for this information collection as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``Burden'' is the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. For additional
information, refer to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
The number of respondents is based on the average number of
respondents over the last three years.
    \3\ The Commission staff thinks that the average respondent for
this collection is similarly situated to the Commission, in terms of
salary plus benefits. The FERC 2022 average salary plus benefits for
one FERC full-time equivalent (FTE) is $188,922/year (or $91.00/
hour).

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
