    Pursuant to the provisions of 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 November 10, 2022, MIAX Emerald, LLC (``MIAX
Emerald'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') a 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 amend Exchange Rule 518, Complex Orders.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/emerald, at MIAX
Emerald's principal office, 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 Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 518, Complex Orders,
to adopt a new optional order instruction, ``Do Not Leg (`DNL'),'' to
paragraph (b), Types of Complex Orders.
    The Exchange currently offers its Members \3\ a number of complex
order types enumerated in paragraph (b) of Rule 518. The Exchange
offers a Complex Auction-on-Arrival Order,\4\ a Complex Auction-or-
Cancel Order,\5\ a Complex Immediate-or-Cancel Order,\6\ a Complex
Customer Cross Order,\7\ a Complex Qualified Contingent Cross Order,\8\
a Complex PRIME Order,\9\ a Complex Attributable Order,\10\ and a
Complex Auction-on-Arrival-Only Order.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Member'' means an individual or organization
approved to exercise the trading rights associated with a Trading
Permit. Members are deemed ``members'' under the Exchange Act. See
Exchange Rule 100.
    \4\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(2).
    \5\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(3).
    \6\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(4).
    \7\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(5).
    \8\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(6).
    \9\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(7).
    \10\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(8).
    \11\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(9).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to adopt a new optional order instruction
for complex orders entitled, ``Do Not Leg'' or ``DNL.'' A complex order
that is marked with the DNL instruction will not leg into the Simple
Order Book.\12\ Additionally, a complex order that is marked with the
DNL instruction must be executed at a price that complies with Exchange
Rule 518(c)(2)(ii). The DNL order instruction will be available for use
with all complex order types (excluding Complex Customer Cross Orders,
Complex Qualified Contingent Cross Orders, and cPRIME Orders) offered
on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The ``Simple Order Book'' is the Exchange's regular
electronic book of orders and quotes. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(15).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Complex Customer Cross Orders \13\ and Complex Qualified Contingent
Cross Orders \14\ are order types that execute immediately upon entry
(provided that they satisfy certain criteria) and would therefore not
leg into the Simple Order Book. Specifically, Complex Customer Cross
(``cC2C'') Orders as defined in Rule 518(b)(5), are automatically
executed upon entry provided that the execution is at least $0.01
better than (inside) the icEBBO \15\ (as defined in Rule 518(a)(12))
price or the best net price of a complex order (as defined in Rule
518(a)(5)) on the Strategy Book \16\ (as defined in Rule 518(a)(17)),
whichever is more aggressive.\17\ Complex Qualified Contingent Cross
(``cQCC'') Orders, as defined in Rule 518(b)(6), are automatically
executed upon entry provided that, with respect to each option leg of
the cQCC Order, the execution (i) is not at the same price as a
Priority Customer Order \18\ on the Exchange's Book; \19\ and (ii) is
at or between the NBBO.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(5).
    \14\ See Exchange Rule 518(b)(6).
    \15\ The Implied Complex MIAX Emerald Best Bid or Offer
(``icEBBO'') is a calculation that uses the best price from the
Simple Order Book for each component of a complex strategy including
displayed and non-displayed trading interest. For stock-option
orders, the icEBBO for a complex strategy will be calculated using
the best price (whether displayed or non-displayed) on the Simple
Order Book in the individual option component(s), and the NBBO in
the stock component. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(12).
    \16\ The ``Strategy Book'' is the Exchange's electronic book of
complex orders and complex quotes. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(17).
    \17\ See Exchange Rule 515(h)(3).
    \18\ The term ``Priority Customer'' means a person or entity
that (i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and (ii) does not
place more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s). See
Exchange Rule 100.
    \19\ The term ``Book'' means the electronic book of buy and sell
orders and quotes maintained by the System. See Exchange Rule 100.
    \20\ See Exchange Rule 515(h)(4). The term ``NBBO'' means the
national best bid or offer as calculated by the Exchange based on
market information received by the Exchange from OPRA. See Exchange
Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the DNL instruction will not be available for cPRIME
Orders, as cPRIME Orders are another type of a crossing order.
Specifically, a cPRIME Order is a paired order with an established
minimum execution price that must meet certain defined internal
criteria to be eligible to participate in a cPRIME Auction.\21\
Specifically, the initiating price for a cPRIME Agency Order must be
better than (inside) the icEBBO for the strategy and any other complex
orders on the Strategy Book. The System will reject cPRIME Agency
Orders submitted with an initiating price that is equal to or worse
than (outside) the icEBBO or any other complex orders on the Strategy
Book.\22\ Currently, a cPRIME Auction has a duration of 100
milliseconds.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Interpretations and Policies .12(a) of Exchange Rule
515A.
    \22\ See Interpretations and Policies .12(a)(i) of Exchange Rule
515A.
    \23\ See MIAX Emerald Exchange System Settings on the Exchange's
public website, available at https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/page-files/MIAX_EMERALD_System_Settings_11122018.pdf.

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

    Additionally, the Exchange notes that at least two other option
exchanges provide similar functionality.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See Cboe Exchange Rule 5.33(b), Complex Only, which defines
a ``Complex Only'' order as a Day or IOC complex order a Market-
Maker may designate to execute only against complex orders in the
COB and not Leg into the Simple Book. The terms ``Complex Order
Book'' and ``COB'' mean the Cboe Exchange's electronic book of
complex orders used for all trading sessions. See Cboe Exchange Rule
5.33(b); see also NYSEArca Options Exchange Rule 6.91P-O(e)(1)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \25\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \26\ in particular, in that it
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 mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal to adopt a new order
instruction for complex orders promotes just and equitable principles
of trade, removes impediments to and perfects the mechanisms of a free
and open market and a national market system and, in general, protects
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes it is
reasonable to provide investors additional control over the disposition
of their complex orders, in connection with their attempt to provide
and not remove liquidity, or in connection with applicable fees for
executions.
    The Exchange believes its proposed rule change promotes just and
equitable principles of trade and removes impediments to and perfects
the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system
and, in general, protects investors and the public interest by allowing
investors to have greater control over the execution of their orders.

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 intra-market competition as the DNL order
instruction is optional and will be available for all Members on the
Exchange that submit complex orders to the Exchange.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on inter-market competition but may enhance inter-
market competition. The Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily direct
order flow to competing venues who offer similar functionality. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule change will enhance competition
among the various markets for complex order execution, potentially
resulting in more active complex order trading on all exchanges.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Because the foregoing 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)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \27\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \28\
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \28\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 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 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
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

     Use the Commission's internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP22-4-000]

WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization and Establishing Intervention and Protest Deadline

    Take notice that on October 5, 2021, WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.
(WBI Energy) filed a prior notice request for authorization, in
accordance with 18 CFR Sections 157.205(b) and 157.216(b) of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations under
the Natural Gas Act and WBI Energy's blanket certificate issued in
Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al., for the abandonment of natural gas
storage facilities located at the Baker Storage Field in Fallon County,
Montana. WBI Energy is proposing to plug and abandon six natural gas
storage wells, to abandon in place the associated storage well
pipelines and their associated measurement facilities. The proposed
abandonments will have no impact on WBI Energy's existing customers as
their abandonment will not change the overall firm withdrawal
capabilities of the Baker Storage Field, all as more fully set forth in
the request which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the
internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://ferc.gov) using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. At this time,
the Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public
Reference Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency
concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the
President on March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission at [email protected] or call toll-free,
(886) 208-3676 or TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure,\1\ within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will
either: Complete its environmental review and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or environmental
assessment (EA) for this proposal. The filing of an EA in the
Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify
federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all
necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Sec.  157.9.

Public Participation

    There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review
of this project: You can file a protest to the project, you can file a
motion to intervene in the proceeding, and you can file comments on the
project. There is no fee or cost for filing protests, motions to
intervene, or comments. The deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 14, 2021.
How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained
below.

Protests

    Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\2\ any person \3\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.

    \3\ Persons include individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities. 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\4\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is December 14, 2021. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \5\ and the regulations under the NGA \6\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is December 14, 2021. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

    \5\ 18 CFR 385.214.
    \6\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.

Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before December 14, 2021. The filing of a comment alone will not
serve to make the filer a party

to the proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the
proceeding.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1259]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 29, 2012.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1259, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would establish restricted area airspace at Fairbanks,
AK to support the United States' Air Force and Army to provide larger
airspace to more realistically conduct service and joint hazardous
training activities, consistent with current and future combat
environments.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2016-9479 in the Federal Register (82 FR 12526; March 6, 2017),
establishing restricted areas R-2205A, R-2205B, R-2205C, R-2205D, R-
2205E, R-2205F, R-2205G, R-2205H, R-2205J, and R-2205K, Fairbanks, AK,
in support of the United States Air Force and Army to provide more
realistic airspace for hazardous activities within the JPARC complex.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. Ten comments
were received; seven from individuals, two aviation groups (Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association [AOPA] and Alaska Air Carriers
Association), and one from Alyeska Pipeline Service Company (APSC).

Discussion of Comments

    In their response to the NPRM, the commenters raised several
substantive issues. Two commenters stated they did not agree with the
proposal but did not state a reason for their objection or an
aeronautical suggestion to consider, these comments were not addressed.
Alaska Air Carriers Association commented on R-2201 Ft. Greely Alaska,
their comments were addressed in that rulemaking action's supplemental
NPRM. The comments are categorized in the following groupings: (1)
Safety, (2) financial burden cost for fuel (3) airspace design being
overly complex; (4) Trans-Alaska Pipeline and (5) Chena River VFR
corridor.
    Having considered the issues and recommendations provided by the
commenters, the FAA offers the following responses.

Safety

    Four individuals commented that the expansion would be unsafe due
to the rapidly changing weather conditions and terrain in the area.
    The FAA does not agree. The expansion from the current restricted
area's western boundary is 10 miles to the west abutting the Class D
airspace over Eielson Air Force Base and 3 miles to the north, with the
airspace divided into low altitude and high altitude subdivisions.
Based on public comment, the subdivisions and stratification were
modified to enable the using agency (U.S. Army, AK, Joint Base
Elemendorf-Richardson) to release volumes of airspace to the
controlling agency (FAA Fairbanks Approach Control) for use by the
public when hazardous activities are not scheduled. Aircraft have the
availability to fly through the inactive restricted areas when the low
subdivisions are released by the using agency. Additionally,
information provided by the FAA aeronautical study and Eielson Air
Force Base (AFB) air traffic control facility concluded very little
civilian traffic traverses the east side of the Eielson Class D where
the restricted area has been expanded; conversely, west of and through
Eielson Air Force base remains available to IFR and VFR aircraft.
Moreover, the expanded areas of the restricted areas are generally over
the higher ground in the area, allowing civil traffic the safety of
maneuvering in the lower ground around the restricted area expansion.
At times, however, aircraft may be required to maneuver north or south
earlier or later than desired to avoid an active restricted area.
    Lastly, this proposal was analyzed by a safety risk management
panel that included representatives from AOPA and Alaska Airmen
Association. No hazards were identified with the expansion of this
airspace.

Financial Burden Cost for Fuel

    An individual commented that the expansion would be a major
financial cost of aviation fuel for pilots transitioning from Fairbanks
to the eastern portions of the state and to Canada.
    The FAA does not agree. For pilots transitioning between Fairbanks
and eastern Alaska or Canada, minor adjustments to flight plans may be
required when the restricted area is active. In most cases, flight
paths will not change significantly (if at all) because civilian
aircraft already operate around the pre-existing restricted airspace
and the portions of the Viper and Yukon military operation areas
(active from 8:00 to 18:00, Monday through Friday), within which the
restricted area expansion is established. Therefore, there will be no
significant change in cost to IFR civil aircraft that are already
routed around these airspace areas consistent with air traffic control
procedures. Additionally, as stated earlier in this document, the
aeronautical study indicated that very little civilian traffic
traverses east of Eielson. Therefore, VFR aircraft are minimally
impacted, and they have the option to fly through and west of Eielson
AFB.
    In an effort to minimize impact to non-participating aircraft, the
restricted area incorporates subdivisions and stratification. Based on
public comment, the subdivisions and stratification were modified to
enable the using agency to release airspace to the controlling agency
for public use when hazardous activities are not scheduled.

Airspace Design Being Overly Complex

    AOPA commented the new proposed restricted areas proposed would
create a complex matrix of airspace segments. AOPA is concerned that
the complexity of this matrix is confusing and will lead to pilots
inadvertently penetrating the airspace.
    The FAA agrees with this comment and has realigned the airspace
into smaller rectangle subdivisions instead of large 45-degree slanted
subdivisions with irregular boundaries. This redesign of the airspace
proposed in the NPRM was discussed extensively at the FAA's safety risk
management panel where numerous aviation groups, which included AOPA,
identified no hazards to these redesigned subdivisions. The redesign
added two more restricted area subdivisions simplifying the design,
while reducing the overall size of the R-2205 A through K complex in
response to other comments discussed later in this document.

Trans-Alaska Pipeline

    AOPA and APSC commented on the availability of the Trans-Alaskan
Pipeline to be available for inspection and aerial security patrols for
Alaska's transportation infrastructure. The proposal would include the
route over the pipeline.
    The FAA agrees and has adjusted the southwest boundary of the
restricted

area complex (R-2205 D) to ensure the pipeline is not in the restricted
areas and aerial access is available. Chena River VFR corridor AOPA
commented on an existing VFR corridor along the Chena River valley. The
valley is one of the most popular routes between Fairbanks and the
communities of Central Circle Hot Springs, Chena Hot Springs and Circle
City. Limiting access to this corridor would cause inadvertent airspace
penetrations and will cause pilots to fly one side of the river raising
the possibility of a mid-air collision, rather than allowing opposite
direction traffic to utilize both sides of the Chena river valley to
deconflict.
    The FAA agrees with AOPA and has adjusted the northwest boundary of
the restricted area complex (R-2205 B) to allow the VFR corridor free
access and two miles of maneuverability from the restricted area on
either side of the Chena river valley.

Military Operations Areas (MOA)

    In the NPRM, the FAA acknowledged that the proposed R-2205A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, J, and K restricted areas, if established, would be
designated within the existing Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 1 Military
Operations Areas (MOAs). To address potential airspace issues and
confusion created if all special use airspace (SUA) areas were active
at the same time, the FAA stated it would amend the legal descriptions
of the Viper A, Viper B and Yukon 1 MOAs to exclude that airspace
within R-2205A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, and K when the restricted areas
were activated.
    MOAs are established to separate or segregate non-hazardous
military flight activities from aircraft operating in accordance with
instrument flight rules (IFR) and to advise pilots flying under visual
flight rules (VFR) where these activities are conducted. IFR aircraft
may be routed through an active MOA only by agreement with the using
agency and only when air traffic control can provide approved
separation from the MOA activity. VFR pilots are not restricted from
flying in an active MOA but are advised to exercise caution while doing
so. MOAs are nonregulatory airspace areas that are established or
amended administratively and published in the National Flight Data
Digest (NFDD) rather than through rulemaking procedures. When a
nonrulemaking action is ancillary to a rulemaking action, FAA
procedures allow for the nonrulemaking changes to be included in the
rulemaking action. Since amendments to the Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon
1 MOAs descriptions are ancillary to the establishment of R-2205A
through K, the MOA changes are addressed in this rule as well as being
published in the NFDD.
    The FAA circularized a proposal to make editorial amendments to the
Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 1 MOAs boundary descriptions, contingent
upon restricted areas R-2205A through K being established, to add
language that excluded that airspace within R-2205A through K when the
restricted areas were activated. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this proposed nonrulemaking action by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No comments to the circular were received. As
a result, the Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 1 MOAs boundary descriptions
are being amended to include language that excludes that airspace
within restricted areas R-2205A through K when they are activated.
These editorial amendments overcome any potential airspace confusion or
conflict resulting from the overlapping restricted areas and MOAs being
activated at the same time. Additionally, the amendments help inform
nonparticipants when portions of the MOAs are not available due to
hazardous activities being conducted in the overlapping restricted
areas. The amended boundary descriptions for the MOAs will be published
in the NFDD; the rest of the MOAs legal descriptions remain unchanged.

Differences From the NPRM

    In response to comments the FAA has realigned all internal
subdivisions into smaller rectangle subdivisions instead of large 45-
degree slanted subdivisions with irregular boundaries. Additionally,
two subdivisions have been added while the overall size of the R-2205 A
through K complex is reduced. All geographic lat./long. coordinates
have been adjusted to accommodate traffic above and around the newly
established restricted areas ensuring ample separation from non-
participating traffic.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14CFR)
part 73 by removing the current restricted area R-2205, Stuart Creek,
AK, and establishing restricted areas R-2205A through K, Fairbanks, AK.
The FAA is revoking and establishing this action at the request of the
United States Army in Alaska. Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA is also
incorporating the restricted area updates noted in the Differences from
the NPRM section. The FAA is taking this action to accommodate manned
and unmanned teaming of aviation assets and allow Air-to-Ground
Integration (AGI) during large training exercises such as Red Flag and
Distant Frontier. Additionally, the expansion of the restricted area
over the DMPTR allows for greater training complexity by incorporating
AGI. The activities within R-2205 A through K are to meet the overall
training objectives of the Department of Defense. The activities would
include live and inert precision and unguided munitions, unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV) laser operations, joint combined arms live fire
exercises, gunnery collective skills training, demolitions, indirect
fire and helicopter integration with UAVs. These restricted areas are
required to effectively deconflict Department of Defense and civilian
air traffic from hazards associated with live fire training.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of establishing restricted
areas R-2205 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K; Fairbanks, AK and revoking
restricted area R-2205 at Stuart Creek, AK, qualifies for FAA adoption
in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 8-2, Adoption of Other
Agencies' National Environmental Policy Act Documents, and FAA Order
7400.2M, paragraph 32-2-3 (Special Use Airspace). After conducting an
independent review and evaluation of the Army's Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for The Modernization and Enhancement of Ranges,
Airspace, and Training Areas in the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex
in Alaska (JPARC) and Finding Of No Significant Impact, (which analyzes
the impacts of establishing R-2201 at the Battle Area Complex,
expanding R-2205, and modifying the legal descriptions of

Viper A, Viper B, Yukon 1 Military Operations Areas (MOAs)), the FAA
has determined that the Army's EIS, Written Re-Evaluation, and
supporting documentation adequately assesses and discloses the
environmental impacts of the proposed action. The Army's JPARC Final
EIS was published in June 2013 and the Army/USAF Record of Decision
(ROD) was issued on August 6, 2013.
    Based on the evaluation in the Army's EIS, the FAA, as a
Cooperating Agency, concluded that the EIS qualifies for adoption by
FAA, and that the FAA's adoption is authorized in accordance with 40
CFR 1506.3, Adoption, and FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 8-2, Adoption of
Other Agencies' NEPA Documents. Accordingly, FAA adopts the Army's EIS
and takes full responsibility for the scope and content that addresses
the FAA's actions associated with the establishment and modification of
Special Use Airspace.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-515-000]

Millennium Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed: Minisink Compressor Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Minisink Compressor Project, proposed by Millennium Pipeline Company,
LLC (Millennium) in the above-referenced docket. Millennium requests
authorization to construct and operate a natural gas compressor station
in Minisink, New York to increase deliveries to its interconnection
with Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC at Ramapo, New York, to
approximately 675,000 dekatherms per day.
    This EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Minisink Compressor Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act. Staff concludes that the proposed project, with appropriate
mitigation, would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Millennium's proposed Minisink Compressor Project consists of two
6,130-horsepower gas-fired compressor units that would be housed within
a new building, as well as an access driveway, parking areas, a station
control/auxiliary building, intake and exhaust silencers, turbine lube
oil coolers, unit blowdown silencers, a filter-separator with a liquids
tank, and an emergency electrical power generator. Pipeline facilities
required for the project include approximately 545 feet of new 36-inch-
diameter suction and discharge pipelines which would connect the
compressor station to the existing mainline. A new mainline valve
assembly would also be required on the existing pipeline located
between the new suction and discharge pipelines.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to
this proceeding. In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on
the FERC's Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
inspection at:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First
Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your
comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is

important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before
April 2, 2012.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
project docket number (CP11-515-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can also file your comments electronically using the
eFiling feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address:

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.

    Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The Commission
grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns
intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can
adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments will not
give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor status to
have your comments considered.

			  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on August 5, 2003

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 95-379

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  TRANSPORTES AEROMAR, S.A. de C.V.
                           Date Filed:  July 17, 2003

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 USC section 41301 to permit the
applicant to conduct, using small equipment (see below), the following
operations – A) scheduled, combination services between:  1) the three
Mexican coterminal points Guadalajara, Manzanillo and San Luis Potosi,
and the U.S. terminal point San Antonio, Texas; 2) the Mexican terminal
point Mexico City, and the two U.S. coterminal points Laredo and San
Antonio, Texas; and B) charter operations, carrying passengers and/or
cargo, between Mexico and the United States, and other charters in
accordance with 14 CFR Part 212.

Date and citation of last action:  See NOAT issued on August 27, 2002,
in this Docket.  The authority to conduct scheduled Mexico City-San
Antonia service, however, is new authority.

Applicant representative(s):  Herbert A. Rosenthal,<PHONE_NUMBER>    DOT
analyst:  Allen F. Brown,<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  None.

	DISPOSITION

Action:  Approved.
                                                    Action date:  August
5, 2003

Effective dates of authority granted:  August 5, 2003, through August 5,
2004.

Basis for approval:  United States Mexico Air Transport Services
Agreement of August 15, 1960, as amended and extended (Agreement).

Conditions:  Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is
subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of our standard
exemption conditions.  In the conduct of these operations, Aeromar must
adhere to all applicable provisions of the U.S.-Mexico Agreement, and
may only use aircraft capable of carrying no more than 60 passengers and
having a maximum payload capacity of no more than 18,000 pounds (small
equipment).  The above grant includes authority to conduct Third and
Fourth Freedom charter operations.  While we have subjected, consistent
with the provisions of the Agreement, Mexican carriers conducting
charter operations with large aircraft to prior approval or submission
of notice for their Third and Fourth Freedom charters, we determined
that any such requirement was not necessary on public interest grounds
in this case, since the carrier will be conducting these operations
solely with small aircraft.  Other charter operations to/from the United
States under this authority, however, are subject to prior approval
under 14 CFR Part 212.

 Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		      Office of International Aviation

________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that our action granting the above-described
amendment was consistent with Department policy and with the public
interest.  To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all
requests in the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the
authority granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our
discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Electronic Data Collection System; SEC File No. 270-621, OMB
Control No. 3235-0672.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit an
extension for this current collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for approval.
    The Commission invites comment on updates to its Electronic Data
Collection System database (the Database), which will support
information provided by members of the public who would like to file an
online tip, complaint or referral (TCR) to the Commission. The Database
will be a web based e-filed dynamic report based on technology that
pre-populates and establishes a series of questions based on the data
that the individual enters. The individual will then complete specific
information on the subject(s) and nature of the suspicious activity,
using the data elements appropriate to the type of complaint or
subject. The information collection is voluntary. The public interface
to the Database will be available using the agency's website,
www.sec.gov. The Commission estimates that it takes a complainant, on
average, 30 minutes to submit a TCR through the Database. Based on the
receipt of an average of approximately 16,000 annual TCRs for the past
three fiscal years, the Commission estimates that the annual reporting
burden is 8,000 hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this publication. Please direct your
written comments to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief Information Officer,
Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F St. NE,
Washington DC 20549; or send an email to: [email protected].
