Information Collection Requests

    1. Title: Claims under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0067.
    Summary: This information collection provides the means to develop
and submit a claim to the National Pollution Funds Center to seek
compensation for removal costs and damages incurred resulting from an
oil discharge or substantial threat of discharge. This collection also
provides the requirements for a responsible party to advertise where
claims may be sent after an incident occurs.
    Need: This information collection is required by 33 CFR part 136,
for implementing 33 U.S.C. 2713(e) and 33 U.S.C. 2714(b).
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Individuals, Businesses, Federal government, state
government, local government, Indian tribes, responsible parties,
guarantors.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 14,800 to
8,267 hours a year.
    2. Title: State Access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for
Removal costs under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0068.
    Summary: This information collection is the mechanism for a
Governor, or their designated representative, of a state to make a
request for payment from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) in
an amount not to exceed $250,000 for removal cost consistent with the
National Contingency Plan required for the immediate removal of a
discharge, or the mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of
discharge, of oil.
    Need: This information collection is required by, 33 CFR part 133,
for

implementing 33 U.S.C. 2712(d)(1) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA
90). The information provided by the State to the NPFC is used to
determine whether expenditures submitted by the state to the OSLTF are
compensable, and, where compensable, to ensure the correct amount of
reimbursement is made by the OSLTF to the state. If the information is
not collected, the Coast Guard and the National Pollution Funds Center
will be unable to justify the resulting expenditures, and thus be
unable to recover costs from the parties responsible for the spill when
they can be identified.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Governor of a state or their designated
representative.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden will remain at 3 hours per
year.

[Docket No. FAA-2022-1421; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-01088-G]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Stemme AG Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2022-01-09, which applies to certain Stemme AG Model Stemme S 10-VT and
Model Stemme S 12 gliders. AD 2022-01-09 requires removing the affected
freewheel clutch from service and prohibits the installation of
affected parts. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-01-09, the European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) superseded its mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) to amend the definition of an affected
part. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2022-01-09
for removing the affected freewheel clutch from service and continue to
prohibit the installation of an affected part, and would amend the
definition of an affected part and clarify the part installation
prohibition. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this NPRM by January 3, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to regulations.gov. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail address above between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1421; or in person at Docket Operations between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD
docket contains this NPRM, the MCAI, any comments received, and other

information. The street address for Docket Operations is listed above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Rutherford, Aviation Safety
Engineer, General Aviation & Rotorcraft Section, International
Validation Branch, FAA, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, MO 64106;
phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-1421; Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-01088-G'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
the proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Jim
Rutherford, Aviation Safety Engineer, General Aviation & Rotorcraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, 901 Locust, Room 301,
Kansas City, MO 64106. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2022-01-09, Amendment 39-21897 (87 FR 1666,
January 12, 2022) (AD 2022-01-09), for all Stemme AG Model Stemme S 10-
VT and Model Stemme S 12 gliders with a freewheel clutch part number
(P/N) 12AK with a serial number starting with ``12-'' installed. AD
2022-01-09 was prompted by MCAI originated by EASA, which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued EASA Emergency AD 2021-0278-E, dated December 15, 2021 (EASA AD
2021-0278-E), to correct an unsafe condition identified as unintended
slipping of the freewheel clutch with overheating (burnishing) of the
friction pads inside of the clutch.
    AD 2022-01-09 requires removing the affected freewheel clutch from
service and prohibits installing an affected part on any glider. The
FAA issued AD 2022-01-09 to address unintended slipping of the
freewheel clutch with overheating (burnishing) of the friction pads
inside of the clutch, which if not addressed, could result in a loss of
thrust and consequent loss of glider control.

Actions Since AD 2022-01-09 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2022-01-09, EASA superseded EASA AD 2021-
0278-E and issued EASA AD 2021-0278R1, dated August 11, 2022 (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on all
Stemme AG Model Stemme S 10-VT and Stemme S 12 gliders. The MCAI states
that the definition of affected part was amended to exclude certain
modified and re-identified freewheel clutches.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1421.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI and service information described above. The FAA is issuing
this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in this NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2022-01-09 for
removing the affected freewheel clutch from service and continue to
prohibit the installation of an affected part, and would amend the
definition of an affected part and clarify the part installation
prohibition.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 63 gliders of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove freewheel clutch from service..  4 work-hours x $85 per              $500            $840         $52,920
                                         hour = $340.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The new requirements of this proposed AD add no additional economic
burden over that already required by AD 2022-01-09.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Rule 67 To Modify Certain Data Collection Requirements of the
Regulation NMS Plan To Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program

September 12, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on August 29, 2016, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I
and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 67 to modify certain data
collection requirements of the Regulation NMS Plan to Implement a Tick
Size Pilot Program. The proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On August 25, 2014, NYSE, and several other self-regulatory
organizations (the ``Participants'') filed with the Commission,
pursuant to Section 11A of the Act \4\ and Rule 608 of Regulation NMS
thereunder,\5\ the Plan to Implement a Tick Size Pilot Program (the
``Plan'').\6\ The Participants filed the Plan to comply with an order
issued by the Commission on June 24, 2014.\7\ The Plan was published
for comment in the Federal Register on November 7, 2014, and approved
by the Commission, as modified, on May 6, 2015.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \5\ 17 CFR 242.608.
    \6\ See Letter from Brendon J. Weiss, Vice President,
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., to Secretary, Commission, dated
August 25, 2014.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No 72460 (June 24,
2014), 79 FR 36840 (June 30, 2014).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74892 (May 6, 2015),
80 FR 27513 (May 13, 2015) (``Approval Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan is designed to allow the Commission, market participants,
and the public to study and assess the impact of increment conventions
on the liquidity and trading of the common stock of small-
capitalization companies. Each Participant is required to comply, and
to enforce compliance by its member organizations, as applicable, with
the provisions of the Plan.
    The Plan provides for the creation of a group of Pilot Securities,
which shall be placed in a control group and three separate test
groups, with each subject to varying quoting and trading increments.
Pilot Securities in the control group will be quoted at the current
tick size increment of $0.01 per share and will trade at the currently
permitted increments. Pilot Securities in the first test group will be
quoted in $0.05 minimum increments but will continue to trade at any
price increment that is currently permitted.\9\ Pilot Securities in the
second test group (``Test Group Two'') will be quoted in $0.05 minimum
increments and will trade at $0.05 minimum increments subject to a
midpoint exception, a retail investor order exception, and a negotiated
trade exception.\10\ Pilot Securities in the third test group (``Test
Group Three'') will be subject to the same quoting and trading
increments as Test Group Two, and also will be subject to the ``Trade-
at'' requirement to prevent price matching by a market participant that
is not displaying at the price of a Trading Center's ``Best Protected
Bid'' or ``Best Protected Offer,'' unless an enumerated exception
applies.\11\ In addition to the exceptions provided under Test Group
Two, an exception for Block Size orders and exceptions that mirror
those under Rule 611 of Regulation NMS \12\ will apply to the Trade-at
requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Section VI(B) of the Plan.
    \10\ See Section VI(C) of the Plan.
    \11\ See Section VI(D) of the Plan.
    \12\ 17 CFR 242.611.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan also requires a Trading Center \13\ or a Market Maker \14\
to collect and transmit certain data to its designated examining
authority (``DEA''), and requires DEAs to transmit this data to the
Commission. Participants that operate a Trading Center also are
required under the Plan to collect certain data, which is then
transmitted directly to the Commission. With respect to Trading
Centers, Appendix B.I to the Plan (Market Quality Statistics) requires
a Trading Center to submit to the Participant that is its DEA a variety
of market quality statistics. Appendix B.II to the Plan (Market and
Marketable Limit Order Data) requires a Trading Center to submit
information to its DEA relating to market orders and marketable limit
orders, including the time of order receipt, order type, the order
size, and the National Best Bid and National Best Offer quoted price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The Plan incorporates the definition of a ``Trading
Center'' from Rule 600(b)(78) of Regulation NMS. Regulation NMS
defines a ``Trading Center'' as ``a national securities exchange or
national securities association that operates an SRO trading
facility, an alternative trading system, an exchange market maker,
an OTC market maker, or any other broker or dealer that executes
orders internally by trading as principal or crossing orders as
agent.'' See 17 CFR 242.600(b).
    \14\ The Plan defines a Market Maker as ``a dealer registered
with any self-regulatory organization, in accordance with the rules
thereof, as (i) a market maker or (ii) a liquidity provider with an
obligation to maintain continuous, two-sided trading interest.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to Market Makers, Appendix B.III requires a
Participant that is a national securities exchange to collect daily
Market Maker Registration statistics. Appendix B.IV requires a
Participant to collect data related to Market Maker participation with
respect to each Market Maker engaging in trading activity on a Trading
Center operated by the Participant. Appendix C.I requires a Participant
to collect data related to Market Maker profitability

from each Market Maker for which it is the DEA. Appendix C.II requires
the Participant, as DEA, to aggregate the Appendix C.I data, and to
transmit this data to the Commission.
    The Commission approved the Pilot on a two-year basis, with
implementation to begin no later than May 6, 2016.\15\ On November 6,
2015, the SEC exempted the Participants from implementing the pilot
until October 3, 2016.\16\ As set forth in Appendices B and C to the
Plan, data that is reported pursuant to the appendices shall be
provided for dates starting six months prior to the Pilot Period
through six months after the end of the Pilot Period. Under the revised
Pilot implementation date, the Pre-Pilot data collection period
commenced on April 4, 2016.

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

    On March 25, 2016, NYSE filed with the Commission a proposed rule
change to adopt NYSE Rule 67(b) to implement the data collection
requirements of the Plan.\17\ On December 9, 2015, NYSE submitted an
exemptive request to the Commission, seeking an exemption from certain
data collection and reporting requirements set forth in the Plan.\18\
On April 4, 2016, the Commission granted exemptive relief from
complying with certain data collection and reporting requirements in
the Plan.\19\

NYSE-2016-27).
    NYSE also submitted a proposed rule change to implement the
quoting and trading requirements of the Plan. See Securities

Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, to Sherry Sandler,
Associate General Counsel, NYSE, dated April 4, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE now proposes to further amend Rule 67 to modify additional
data collection and reporting requirements. First, Appendix B.I.a(21)
through B.I.a(27) currently requires that Trading Centers report the
cumulative number of shares of cancelled orders during a specified
duration of time after receipt of the order that was cancelled. NYSE
and the other Participants believe that, for purposes of reporting
cancelled orders, it is appropriate to categorize unexecuted Immediate
or Cancel orders separately as one bucket irrespective of the duration
of time after order receipt, i.e., without a time increment, to better
differentiate orders cancelled subsequent to entry from those where the
customer's intent prior to order entry was to cancel the order if no
execution could be immediately obtained. NYSE, therefore, proposes to
modify Supplementary Material .30 to provide that unexecuted Immediate
or Cancel orders shall be categorized separately for purposes of
Appendix B.I.a(21) through B.I.a(27).
    The second change relates to the reporting of daily market quality
statistics pursuant to Appendix B.I. Currently, Appendix B.I sets forth
categories of orders, including market orders, marketable limit orders,
and inside-the-quote resting limit orders, for which daily market
quality statistics must be reported. NYSE and the other Participants
have determined that it is appropriate to include an order type for
limit orders priced more than $0.10 away from the NBBO for purposes of
Appendix B reporting. NYSE therefore proposes to amend Supplementary
Material .50 to provide that limit orders priced more than $0.10 away
from the NBBO shall be included as an order type for purposes of
Appendix B reporting, and shall be assigned the number (22). These
orders are not currently required to be reported pursuant to Appendix
B, and NYSE and the other Participants believe that requiring the
reporting of such orders will produce a more comprehensive data set.
    The third change relates to the reporting of market quality
statistics pursuant to Appendix B.I for a variety of order types,
including inside-the-quote resting limit orders (12), at-the-quote
resting limit orders (13), and near-the-quote resting limit orders
(within $0.10 of the NBBO) (14). NYSE and the other Participants
believe that it is appropriate to require Trading Centers to report all
orders that fall within these categories, and not just those orders
that are ``resting.'' NYSE, therefore, proposes to amend Supplementary
Material .50 to make this change.
    In the fourth change, NYSE proposes to add new Supplementary
Material .100 to modify the manner in which market maker participation
statistics are calculated. Currently, Appendix B.IV provides that
market maker participation statistics shall be calculated based on
share participation, trade participation, cross-quote share (trade)
participation, inside-the-quote share (trade) participation, at-the-
quote share (trade) participation, and outside-the-quote share (trade)
participation. NYSE and the other Participants have determined that it
is appropriate to add the count of the number of Market Makers used in
the calculation of share (trade) participation to each category. NYSE
is therefore proposing this change as part of Supplementary Material
.100. In addition, Appendix B.IV(b) and (c) currently require that,
when aggregating across Market Makers, share participation and trade
participation shall be calculated using the share-weighted average and
trade-weighted average, respectively. NYSE and the other Participants
believe that it is more appropriate to calculate share and trade
participation by providing the total count of shares or trades, as
applicable, rather than weighted averages, and NYSE is therefore
proposing this change as part of Supplementary Material .100.
    The fifth change relates to the NBBO that a Trading Center is
required to use when performing certain quote-related calculations.
When calculating cross-quote share (trade) participation pursuant to
Appendix B.IV(d) and inside-the-quote share (trade) participation
pursuant to Appendix B.IV(e), the Plan requires the Trading Center to
utilize the NBBO at the time of the trade for both share and trade
participation calculations. When calculating at-the-quote share (trade)
participation and outside-the-quote share (trade) participation
pursuant to Appendix B.IV(f) and (g), the Plan allows the Trading
Center to utilize the National Best Bid or National Best Offer (NBBO)
at the time of or immediately before the trade for both share and trade
participation calculations. NYSE and the other Participants believe
that it is appropriate to calculate all quote participation (cross-
quote share (trade) participation, inside-the-quote share (trade)
participation, at-the-quote share (trade) participation and outside-
the-quote share (trade) participation) solely by reference to the NBBO
in effect immediately prior to the trade. NYSE therefore proposes to
make this change as part of Supplementary Material .100.
    Finally, NYSE proposes to change the end date until which the Pre-
Pilot Data Collection Securities shall be used to fulfill the Plan's
data collection requirements. Currently, Supplementary Material .90
provides that Pre-Pilot Data Collection Securities are the securities
designated by the Participants for purposes of the data collection
requirements described in Items I, II and IV of Appendix B and Item I
of Appendix C to the Plan for the period beginning six months prior to
the Pilot Period and ending on the trading day immediately preceding
the Pilot Period. NYSE and the other Participants believe that it is
appropriate to use the Pilot

Securities to satisfy the Plan's data collection requirements prior to
the commencement of the Pilot. According, NYSE is revising
Supplementary Material .90 to provide that the Pre-Pilot Data
Collection Securities shall be used to satisfy the Plan's data
collection requirements through thirty-one days prior to the Pilot
Period, after which time the Pilot Securities shall be used for
purposes of the data collection requirements.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ After regular trading hours on September 2, 2016, the
national securities exchanges will establish which securities will
be included as Pilot Securities for purposes of the Plan. NYSE and
the other Participants have determined that members should use the
Pilot Securities list for data collection purposes once it becomes
available. Thus, the proposed rule change requires that, beginning
thirty days prior to the first day of the Pilot Period--i.e.,
September 3, 2016--NYSE and NYSE members will comply with the data
collection obligations of the Plan by collecting data on the Pilot
Securities. As a result, beginning on September 3, 2016, members
must migrate from using NYSE's published Pre-Pilot Data Collection
Security list and begin using the Pilot Securities list. September
2, 2016 will be the last day that members use the Pre-Pilot Data
Collection Security list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in Item 2 of this filing, NYSE has filed the proposed rule
change for immediate effectiveness. NYSE has requested that the SEC
waive the 30-day operative period so that the proposed rule change can
become operative on August 30, 2016.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \21\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \22\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \22\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE believes that this proposal is consistent with the Act because
it implements and clarifies the provisions of the Plan, and is designed
to assist NYSE in meeting its regulatory obligations pursuant to the
Plan. In approving the Plan, the SEC noted that the Pilot was an
appropriate, data-driven test that was designed to evaluate the impact
of a wider tick size on trading, liquidity, and the market quality of
securities of smaller capitalization companies, and was therefore in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. NYSE believes that this
proposal is in furtherance of the objectives of the Plan, as identified
by the SEC, and is therefore consistent with the Act because the
proposal implements and clarifies the requirements of the Plan.

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

    NYSE notes that the proposed rule change implements the provisions
of the Plan, and is designed to assist NYSE in meeting its regulatory
obligations pursuant to the Plan. NYSE also notes that, other than the
change to require use of the Pilot Securities beginning thirty days
prior to the beginning of the Pilot Period, the proposed changes will
only affect how NYSE and Participants that operate Trading Centers
collect and report data. NYSE notes that, with respect to the change to
require the use of the Pilot Securities beginning thirty days prior to
the start of the Pilot Period, the proposed change reduces the number
of securities on which affected members otherwise would have been
required to collect data pursuant to the Plan and NYSE Rule 67. In
addition, the proposed rule change applies equally to all similarly
situated members. Therefore, NYSE does not believe that the proposed
rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \23\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\24\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, become
operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \24\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \25\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\26\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \26\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because it will allow the Exchange to implement the proposed rules
immediately thereby preventing delays in the implementation of the
Plan. The Commission notes that the Plan is scheduled to start on
October 3, 2016. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the proposed rule change to be operative
upon filing with the Commission.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \28\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing a summary of each pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or amendment of regulations in
40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various
food commodities. EPA has determined that this pesticide petition
contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency
of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting
of the pesticide petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA
rules on this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner is available on EPA's
Electronic Docket at http://www.regulations.gov. To locate this
