[Project No. 1992-003]

Ken Willis; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project
Operation

May 12, 2010.
    On April 25, 2008, Ken Willis, licensee for the Fire Mountain Lodge
Hydroelectric Project, filed an Application for a New License pursuant
to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations
thereunder. The Fire Mountain Lodge Hydroelectric Project is located in
Fern Springs, in Tehama County, California near the town of Chester,
Plumas County, California.
    The license for Project No. 1992 was issued for a period ending
April 30, 2010. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 1992 is issued to
Ken Willis for a period effective May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011,
or until the issuance of a new license for the project or other
disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If issuance of a new
license (or other disposition) does not take place on or before April
30, 2011, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an
annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is renewed
automatically without further order or notice by the Commission, unless
the Commission orders otherwise. If the project is not subject to
section 15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given that Ken Willis is
authorized to continue operation of the Fire Mountain Lodge
Hydroelectric Project, until such time as the Commission acts on its
application for a subsequent license.

Implantation or Injectable Dosage Form New Animal Drugs;
Gonadotropin Releasing Factor-Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect approval of a new animal drug application
(NADA) filed by Pfizer, Inc. The NADA provides for the veterinary
prescription use of gonadotropin releasing factor-diphtheria toxoid
conjugate by subcutaneous injection for temporary immunological
castration (suppression of testicular function) and reduction of boar
taint in intact male pigs intended for slaughter.

DATES: This rule is effective May 13, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Lucia, Center for Veterinary
Medicine (HFV-128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl.,
Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pfizer, Inc., 235 East 42d St., New York, NY
10017-5755, filed NADA 141-322 that provides for the veterinary
prescription use of IMPROVEST (gonadotropin releasing factor-diphtheria
toxoid conjugate) Sterile Solution for Injection for temporary
immunological castration (suppression of testicular function) and
reduction of boar taint in intact male pigs intended for slaughter. The
application is approved as of March 22, 2011, and the regulations are
amended in 21 CFR part 522 to reflect approval.
    In accordance with the freedom of information provisions of 21 CFR
part 20 and 21 CFR 514.11(e)(2)(ii), a summary of safety and
effectiveness data and information submitted to support approval of
this application may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management
(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
    Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(i)), this approval qualifies for
5 years of marketing exclusivity beginning on the date of approval.
    The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is of
a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 522

    Animal drugs.
    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and
redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 522 is
amended as follows:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69574; File No. SR-CBOE-2013-047]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change to Amend the Fees Schedule

May 14, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on May 1, 2013, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to ament [sic] its Fees Schedule. The text of
the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site
(http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the
Exchange's Office of the Secretary, 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 Footnote 24 of its Fees Schedule.

Specifically, the Exchange would like to add to Footnote 24 the
statement that, if a Market-Maker or its affiliate (``affiliate''
defined as having at least 75% common ownership between the two
entities as reflected on each entity's Form BD, Schedule A) receives a
credit under the Exchange's Volume Incentive Program (``VIP''), that
Market-Maker will receive a credit on its Market-Maker Trading Permit
fees corresponding to the VIP tier reached (10% Market-Maker Trading
Permit fee credit for reaching Tier 2 of the VIP, 20% Market-Maker
Trading Permit fee credit for reaching Tier 3 of the VIP, and 30%
Market-Maker Trading Permit fee credit for reaching Tier 4 of the VIP).
This credit will not apply to Market-Maker Trading Permits used for
appointments in SPX, SPXpm, VIX, OEX and XEO.
    For example, consider a Market-Maker holds 23 Market-Maker Trading
Permits (excluding those used with appointments in SPX, SPXpm, VIX, OEX
and XEO) and has an affiliate that electronically transacts 2.50% of
the national customer volume in multiply-listed options classes over
the course of a month (putting that affiliate at Tier 3 on the VIP).
Currently, that Market-Maker would be assessed a fee of $102,500 for
that month for the Market-Maker's 23 Market-Maker Trading Permits
($5,500 for each of the first ten permits, $4,000 for each of the next
ten permits, and $2,500 for the final three permits).\3\ However, under
the proposed change, the Market-Maker would receive a 20% credit
($20,500) on its Market-Maker Trading Permit fees (because its
affiliate reached Tier 3 of the VIP), and therefore would only be
assessed a fee of $82,000 for the 23 Market-Maker Trading Permits
($102,500-$20,500).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Market-Maker Trading Permit Sliding
Scale table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of the proposed change is to incentivize the sending of
orders to CBOE by firms that have both Market-Maker and order-router
arms. In the options industry, many options orders are routed by
consolidators, which are firms that have both order router and Market-
Maker arms. CBOE wants to be aware not only of the importance of
providing credits on the order side in order to encourage the sending
of orders to CBOE but also costs of operation on Market-Maker side. The
Exchange has determined to address both sides by providing relief both
on the order flow side (via the credits provided in the VIP) and the
Market-Maker side (with the credits proposed herein). The resulting
increased volume should benefit all CBOE market participants. Further,
other options exchanges also provide credits to Market-Makers if a
Market-Maker's affiliate's adds a certain amount of customer liquidity
to that exchange.\4\ The Exchange proposes to exclude Market-Maker
Trading Permits used for appointments in SPX, SPXpm, VIX, OEX and XEO
from this credit because such permits are excluded from the Market-
Maker Trading Permit Sliding Scale, and because the Exchange expended
considerable resources developing those products and therefore desires
not to give a credit related to those products in order to recoup those
expenditures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC Options Market (``NOM'')
Options Pricing, specifically Tier 3 of the table describing The NOM
Market Maker Rebate to Add Liquidity in Penny Pilot Options. Under
Tier 3, a NOM Market Maker receives a credit if that Market Maker
and its affiliate under Common Ownership qualify for Tier 8 of NOM's
Customer and Professional Rebate to Add Liquidity in Penny Pilot
Options. See also NYSE Arca, Inc. (``Arca'') Fees and Charges,
specifically the table describing the Market Maker Monthly Posting
Credit Super Tier, under which transaction volume from a Market
Maker's affiliates count towards the Market Maker's ability to
qualify for higher credit tiers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\5\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ which requires that
Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other
persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the proposed
change is reasonable because it will allow qualifying Market-Makers to
receive a credit on their Market-Maker Trading Permit fees. The
Exchange believes that this proposed change is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because Market-Makers are valuable market
participants that provide liquidity in the marketplace and incur costs
that other market participants do not incur. Market-Makers have a
number of obligations, including quoting obligations, that other market
participants do not have. The purpose of the proposed change is to
incentivize the sending of orders to CBOE by firms that have both
Market-Maker and order-router arms. In the options industry, many
options orders are routed by consolidators, which are firms that have
both order router and Market-Maker arms. CBOE wants to be aware not
only of the importance of providing credits on the order side in order
to encourage the sending of orders to CBOE but also costs of operation
on Market-Maker side. The Exchange has determined to address both sides
by providing relief both on the order flow side (via the credits
provided in the VIP) and the Market-Maker side (with the credits
proposed herein). By incentivizing a Market-Maker or its affiliate to
achieve higher tiers on the VIP, the Exchange seeks to add greater
Customer liquidity, and the resulting increased volume benefits all
market participants (including Market-Makers or affiliates who do not
achieve the higher tiers on the VIP; indeed, this increased volume may
allow them to reach these tiers). This increased volume will also
assist other Trading Permit Holders in achieving higher tiers on the
VIP, including those that do not have affiliated Market-Makers.
Further, other options exchanges also provide credits to Market-Makers
if a Market-Maker's affiliate's adds a certain amount of customer
liquidity to that exchange.\7\ Finally, the proposed credit is
available to all Market-Makers who qualify. The Exchange believes that
it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to exclude Market-Maker
Trading Permits used for appointments in SPX, SPXpm, VIX, OEX and XEO
from this credit because such permits are excluded from the Market-
Maker Trading Permit Sliding Scale, and because the Exchange expended
considerable resources developing those products and therefore desires
not to give a credit related to those products in order to recoup those
expenditures.

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \7\ See Footnote 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 the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe
that the proposed change will impose an unnecessary or inappropriate
burden on intramarket competition because Market-Makers are valuable
market participants that provide liquidity in the marketplace and incur
costs that other market participants do not incur. Market-Makers have a
number of obligations, including quoting obligations, that other market
participants do not have. By incentivizing a Market-Maker or its
affiliate to achieve higher tiers on the VIP, the Exchange seeks to add
greater Customer liquidity, and the resulting

increased volume benefits all market participants (including Market-
Makers or affiliates who do not achieve the higher tiers on the VIP;
indeed, this increased volume may allow them to reach these tiers).
This increased volume will also assist other Trading Permit Holders in
achieving higher tiers on the VIP, including those that do not have
affiliated Market-Makers. The Exchange does not believe that the
proposed change will impose an unnecessary or inappropriate burden on
intermarket competition because it only applies to CBOE. To the extent
that this rebate, or the resulting increased volume, proves attractive
to market participants on other options exchanges, such market
participants may elect to become market participants at CBOE.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \9\
thereunder. 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 will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket
approvals by the deadline above, RBC is authorized to issue securities
and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety,
or otherwise in respect of any security of another person; provided
that such issuance or assumption is for some lawful object within the
corporate purposes of RBC, compatible with the public interest, and is
reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approvals of RBC's issuance of securities or assumptions of
liability.

40 CFR Part 312

[EPA-HQ-OLEM-2016-0786; FRL-9958-47-OLEM]

Amendment to Standards and Practices for All Appropriate
Inquiries Under CERCLA

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to amend the Standards and
Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries to update an existing reference
to a standard practice recently revised by ASTM International, a widely
recognized standards development organization. Specifically, this
direct final rule amends the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule to
reference ASTM International's E2247-16 ``Standard Practice for
Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Process for Forestland or Rural Property'' and allow for its use to
satisfy the statutory requirements for conducting all appropriate
inquiries under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA).

DATES: This rule is effective on September 18, 2017, without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by July 20, 2017. If EPA
receives such comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that this direct final rule will
not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OLEM-2016-0786 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Why is EPA using a Direct Final Rule?

    EPA is publishing this rule without a prior proposed rule because
we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment as this action is just revising an existing reference in part
312 to the updated version of a standard practice recently made
available by ASTM International (E2247-16). However, in the ``Proposed
Rules'' section of this Federal Register, we are publishing a separate
document that will serve as the proposed rule if adverse comments are
received on this direct final rule. We will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. For further information about commenting on
this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this
direct final rule will not take effect. We would address all public
comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.

B. Does this action apply to me?

    This action offers certain parties the option of using an available
industry standard to conduct all appropriate inquiries at certain
properties. Parties purchasing large tracts of forested land and
parties purchasing large rural properties may use the ASTM E2247-16
standard practice to comply with the all appropriate inquiries
requirements of CERCLA. This rule does not require any entity to use
this standard. Any party who wants to claim protection from liability
under CERCLA may follow the regulatory requirements of the All
Appropriate Inquiries Rule at 40 CFR part 312, use the ASTM E1527-13
Standard Practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to comply
with the all appropriate inquiries provision of CERCLA, or use the
standard recognized in this direct final rule, the ASTM E2247-16
standard.
    Entities potentially affected by this action, or who may choose to
use the newly referenced ASTM standard to perform all appropriate
inquiries, include public and private parties who, as bona fide
prospective purchasers, contiguous property owners, or innocent
landowners, are purchasing large tracts of forested lands or large
rural properties and intend to claim a limitation on CERCLA liability
in conjunction with the property purchase. In addition, any entity
conducting a site characterization or assessment on a property that
consists of large tracts of forested land or a large rural property
with a brownfields grant awarded under CERCLA Section 104(k)(2)(B)(ii)
may be affected by this action. This includes state, local and Tribal
governments that receive brownfields site assessment grants. A summary
of the potentially affected industry sectors (by North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes) is displayed in the table
below.

    The list of potentially affected entities in the above table may
not be exhaustive. Our aim is to provide a guide for readers regarding
those entities that EPA is aware potentially could be affected by this
action. However, this action may affect other entities not listed in
the table. If you have questions regarding the applicability of this
action to a particular entity, consult the person listed in the
preceding section entitled FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

C. Statutory Authority

    This direct final rule amends the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule
setting federal standards for the conduct of ``all appropriate
inquiries'' at 40 CFR part 312. The All Appropriate Inquiries Rule sets
forth standards and practices necessary for fulfilling the requirements
of CERCLA section 101(35)(B) as required to obtain CERCLA liability
relief and for conducting site characterizations and assessments with
the use of brownfields grants per CERCLA section 104(k)(2)(B)(ii).

II. Background

    On January 11, 2002, President Bush signed the Small Business
Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act (``the Brownfields
Amendments''). In general, the Brownfields Amendments to CERCLA provide
funds to assess and clean up brownfields sites; clarifies CERCLA
liability provisions related to innocent purchasers of contaminated
properties; and provides funding to enhance State and Tribal cleanup
programs. In part, subtitle B of the Brownfields Amendments revises
some of the provisions of CERCLA section 101(35) and limits Superfund
liability under Section 107 for bona fide prospective purchasers and
contiguous property owners, in addition to clarifying the requirements
necessary to establish the innocent landowner defense under CERCLA. The
Brownfields Amendments clarified the requirement that parties
purchasing potentially contaminated property undertake ``all
appropriate inquiries'' into prior ownership and use of property prior
to purchasing the property in order to qualify for protection from
CERCLA liability.
    The Brownfields Amendments required EPA to develop regulations
establishing standards and practices for how to conduct all appropriate
inquiries. EPA promulgated regulations that set standards and practices
for all appropriate inquiries on November 1, 2005 (70 FR 66070). In the
final regulation, EPA referenced, and recognized as compliant with the
final

rule, the ASTM E1527-05 ``Standard Practice for Environmental Site
Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process.'' The
regulation was amended in December 2013 to recognize the revised ASTM
E1527-13, ``Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase
I Environmental Site Assessment Process'' (78 FR 79319). EPA also
amended the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule in December 2008 to
recognize another ASTM standard as compliant with the final rule, the
ASTM E2247-08 ``Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland or Rural
Property'' (73 FR 78716). Therefore, the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule
(40 CFR part 312) currently allows for the use of both the ASTM E1527-
13 and the ASTM E2247-08 standards to conduct all appropriate
inquiries, in lieu of following requirements included in the final
rule. Note that in October 2014, EPA withdrew the reference to the ASTM
E1527-05 standard from the AAI rule (79 FR 60087).
    Since EPA promulgated the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule setting
standards and practices for the conduct of all appropriate inquiries,
ASTM International published a revised Phase I site assessment standard
for conducting Phase I environmental site assessments of large tracts
of rural and forestland properties. This standard, ASTM E2247-16,
``Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland or Rural
Property,'' was reviewed by EPA, in response to a request for its
review by ASTM International, and determined by EPA to be compliant
with the requirements of the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule.

II. What does this action do?

    This direct final rule amends the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule to
allow the use of the recently revised ASTM standard, E2247-16, for
conducting all appropriate inquiries, as required under CERCLA for
establishing the innocent landowner defense, as well as qualifying for
the bona fide prospective purchaser and contiguous property owner
liability protections.
    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272)) directs
agencies to use technical standards that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies, unless their use would be
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. ASTM
International is an internationally recognized voluntary consensus
standard body. The ASTM E2247-16 ``Standard Practice for Environmental
Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for
Forestland or Rural Property'' includes an environmental site
assessment process that EPA finds is not inconsistent with the
standards and practices included in the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule.
    With this action, EPA is establishing that, parties seeking
liability relief under CERCLA's landowner liability protections, as
well as recipients of brownfields grants for conducting site
assessments, will be considered to be in compliance with the
requirements for all appropriate inquiries, as required in the
Brownfields Amendments to CERCLA, if such parties satisfy the
applicability requirements and comply with the procedures provided in
the ASTM E2247-16, ``Standard Practice for Environmental Site
Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for
Forestland or Rural Property.'' EPA determined that it is reasonable to
promulgate this clarification as a direct final rule that is effective
90 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register, rather
than delay promulgation of the clarification until after receipt and
consideration of public comments. EPA made this determination based
upon the Agency's finding that the ASTM E2247-16 standard is ``not
inconsistent with,'' and compliant with the All Appropriate Inquiries
Rule and the Agency sees no reason to delay allowing for its use in
conducting all appropriate inquiries. The Agency notes that this action
does not require any party to use the ASTM E2247-16 standard. Any party
conducting all appropriate inquiries to comply with the CERCLA
requirements at section 101(35)(B) for the innocent landowner defense,
the contiguous property owner liability protection, or the bona fide
prospective purchaser liability protection may continue to follow the
provisions of the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule at 40 CFR part 312,
use the ASTM E1527-13 Standard or use the ASTM E2247-16 standard, as
applicable.
    In taking this action, the Agency is allowing for the use of an
additional recognized standard or customary business practice, in
complying with a federal regulation. This action does not require any
person to use the newly revised standard. This action merely allows for
the use of ASTM International's E2247-16 ``Standard Practice for
Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Process for Forestland or Rural Property'' for those parties purchasing
relatively large tracts of rural property or forestlands who want to
use the ASTM E2247-16 standard in lieu of the following specific
requirements of the all appropriate inquiries rule or the ASTM E1527-13
standard.
    The Agency notes that there are no significant differences between
the regulatory requirements in the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule and
the standards and practices included in the two ASTM standards (ASTM
E1527-13 and ASTM E2247-16). To facilitate an understanding of the
revisions to the ASTM E2247-08 Standard Practice for Environmental Site
Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Standard for
Forestland or Rural Property, which was recognized by EPA as compliant
with the requirements of the all appropriate inquiries regulation in
2013, and the revised ASTM E2247-16 Standard, which replaces the ASTM
E2247-08 standard, EPA developed, and placed in the docket for this
action, the document ``Summary of Updates and Revisions to ASTM E2247
Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland or Rural
Property.'' Also in the docket for this action is the document
``Comparison of the All Appropriate Inquiries Regulation, the ASTM
E1527-13 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process and the ASTM
E2247-16 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland
or Rural Property Standard.'' This document provides an overview of the
similarities and slight differences between the AAI regulatory
requirements and the requirements included in the two ASTM phase I
environmental site assessment standards.
    This action includes no changes to the All Appropriate Inquiries
Rule other than to update the reference in the regulation for the ASTM
E2247 standard. This action replaces the reference to the ASTM E2247-08
``Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland or Rural
Property'' in the All Appropriate Inquiries Rule with the updated ASTM
E2247-16 standard of the same name. EPA is not seeking comments on the
standards and practices included in the final rule published at 40 part
312. Also, EPA is not seeking comments on the ASTM E2247-16 standard.
EPA's only action with this direct final rule is recognition of the
ASTM E2247-16 standard as compliant with the final rule, and

therefore it is only this action on which the Agency is seeking
comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011), this action is
not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not subject to
OMB review. Further, this action will not have a significant impact on
a substantial number of small entities and, as a result, is not subject
to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this
action does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in
expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate or the private sector in any one year,
and does not contain regulatory requirements that might significantly
or uniquely affect small governments, it is not subject to Sections
202, 203, and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1999 (UMRA)
(Pub. L. 104-4). This action does not create new binding legal
requirements that substantially and directly affect Tribes under
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action does
not have significant Federalism implications under Executive Order
13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Because this final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

A. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This action involves technical standards. This action allows for
the use of the ASTM International Standard known as Standard E2247-16
and entitled ``Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process for Forestland or Rural
Property.''

B. Congressional Review Act

    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act (CRA), and
the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by adding Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for a new COPTER RNAV (POINT-IN-SPACE) SIAP at
Clarian Arnett Heliport, Lafayette, IN. Controlled airspace is needed
for the safety and management of IFR operations at the heliport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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
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 add controlled airspace at Clarian Arnett Heliport,
Lafayette, IN.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2009-0964; FRL-9116-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Illinois; NOX Budget Trading Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Illinois State
Implementation Plan (SIP) that would terminate the provisions of the
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) Budget Trading Program that apply to
electric generating units. EPA is no longer operating the
NOX Budget Trading Program as a compliance option under the
NOX SIP Call. These sources are now subject to provisions in
a newer set of approved Illinois rules that address EPA's Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR). For these reasons, the sunset of the
NOX Budget Trading Program for these sources merely
deactivates duplicative rule language.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 31, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R05-OAR-2009-0964 by one of the following methods:
    1. http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
    2. E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    3. Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    4. Mail: Genevieve Damico, Acting Chief, Criteria Pollutant
Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    5. Hand Delivery: Genevieve Damico, Acting Chief, Criteria
Pollutant Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Such deliveries are only accepted during the Regional Office normal
hours of operation, and special arrangements should be made for
deliveries of boxed information. The Regional Office official hours of
business are Monday through Friday,

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. excluding Federal holidays.

Please see the direct final rule which is located in the Rules section
of this Federal Register for detailed instructions on how to submit
comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Summerhays,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.
