DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Submission Deadline for Schedule Information for
Chicago O'Hare International Airport for the Winter 2008/2009
Scheduling Season

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, FAA.

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA announces a May 15, 2008, deadline for submitting
requests for domestic and international scheduled arrivals at Chicago
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) for the Winter 2008/2009 scheduling
season beginning October 26, 2008. The deadline coincides with the
submission deadline established by the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) for the Winter 2008/2009 Schedules Conference.

DATES: Proposed schedule information must be submitted to the FAA no
later than May 15, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA currently limits arrivals at ORD
from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Central Time, Monday through Friday, and 12 p.m.
to 9 p.m., Central Time, on Sunday, based primarily on runway capacity
limits. The FAA's restrictions at ORD in Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 93, Subpart B, are the equivalent of a Level 3 Fully
Coordinated Airport as used in IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines.
Separate schedule facilitation is done at the airport level for
international passenger flights operating at Terminal 5. In addition to
filing schedules for FAA runway capacity review, carriers should also
file Terminal 5 schedules, if appropriate, at the address indicated in
the IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines, Annex 3. Carriers would
obtain separate approval for FAA runway slots and Terminal 5
operations, as appropriate.
    The FAA rules limiting flights at ORD will sunset on October 24,
2008, under the terms of the rule effective October 29, 2006. This
sunset provision was based on an expected increase in capacity when the
first new runway opens under the O Hare Modernization Program (OMP).
Runway 9L/27R is currently planned to be commissioned in November 2008.
This will provide additional capacity at O'Hare for arriving and
departing aircraft under various weather and runway configurations.
Capacity projections estimate over 50,000 annual operations, or an
average of about 8-10 total operations per hour, may be accommodated.
However, additional operations must be reasonably distributed to avoid
significant delay consequences. Terminal and gate availability are also
expected to be constraints during certain periods.
    The FAA is seeking information in order to review projected
schedules and to assist the agency in determining whether scheduling
limits may continue to be applied at ORD until further runway capacity
is realized under Phase II of the OMP. The form of the scheduling
limitations, if needed, has not been determined. Options include: (1)
Remove FAA scheduling limitations by letting the rule expire; (2)
continue the airport's designation as IATA Level 3 and utilize the IATA
Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines, with appropriate local rules, to
review planned operations and resolve oversubscribed hours that would
result in unacceptable delays; and (3) increase the scheduling limits
to recognize additional runway capacity and modify the expiration date
of the current rule. Any proposal to modify or extend the rule would be
in a separate rulemaking process.
    The FAA recognizes there is a potential for carriers to file
schedules that are preliminary in nature, rather than bone fide
operational plans, and that some of the proposed flights may not
actually operate. We understand that carriers legitimately review
schedule plans for the winter 2008/2009 season well beyond the May 15
submission deadline and that it may not be possible to have final
schedules at this time, especially for domestic flights. This is
particularly true given the increasing fuel and operating costs facing
carriers at this time. The FAA expects carriers to provide the
government realistic information representative of their schedule plans
for winter 2008/2009 as the information will be part of our assessment
of the potential operational impacts. The FAA will discuss carrier
schedule requests relative to available runway capacity in the weeks
following the schedule submissions, including at the IATA Schedules
Conference in June. A timetable for a final agency proposal, if any, to
continue limits on operations at O'Hare after October 24, 2008, has not
been established at this time.
    Carriers are requested to provide information on scheduled arrivals
including flight number, origin airport, scheduled time of arrival,
frequency, effective dates, and equipment. The FAA is primarily
concerned about arrival demand, as in the current rule, since most
departures would subsequently be constrained by the arrival times given
the predominant nature of hub operations at ORD. The FAA will, however,
accept information on planned departures by carriers since this may
provide more complete information and since many carriers use automated
scheduling information systems.
    The U.S. winter scheduling season is from November 2, 2008, through
March 7, 2009, in recognition of the U.S. standard time dates. The FAA
understands the IATA winter 2008/2009 season is October 26, 2008,
through March 28, 2009. The FAA will accept schedule information that
coincides with the IATA scheduling season, rather than U.S. standard
time dates, in order to ease the administrative burdens on carriers
conducting international operations and in order to ensure that FAA has
the most accurate schedule information.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP10-4-000]

Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C.; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Phase V Expansion
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

November 6, 2009.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Phase V Expansion Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Gulfstream
Natural Gas System, L.L.C. (Gulfstream) in Manatee County, Florida.
This EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process
to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that
the

scoping period will close on December 7, 2009.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for the project, which includes affected landowners;
Federal, State, and local government representatives and agencies;
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native
American Tribes; parties to this proceeding; and local libraries and
newspapers. State and local government representatives are asked to
notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them
to comment on their areas of concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the
project notice Gulfstream provided to landowners. This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.
It is also available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (htpp://
www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Gulfstream proposes to construct and operate a new turbine-driven
compressor unit at its existing Station 420 Compressor Station in
Manatee County, Florida. The new 20,500-horsepower Solar Titan 130
compressor would be located within the existing station boundaries.
Gulfstream also proposes to replace the impellers of the two existing
turbines at Station 420 to match the flow conditions present after the
installation of the new compressor.
    The proposed project would provide an additional 35,000 dekatherms
per day of firm natural gas service to the Hines Electric Generation
Station in Polk County, Florida. The location of Station 420 and the
proposed unit is shown in appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
published in the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to
all those receiving this notice by mail and are available at http://
www.ferc.gov at the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    All construction, including the laydown yard north of the station
fenceline, would take place on land owned by Gulfstream. Gulfstream
would extend its existing compressor building to accommodate the new
unit. The laydown yard would be revegetated and allowed to revert to
its pre-construction condition after construction is completed. No new
access roads would be constructed; however, existing station driveways
would be improved.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA, we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Threatened and endangered species;
     Land use, recreational, and visual resources;
     Air quality and noise; and
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
site and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the
various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA
may be published and mailed to those on our mailing list (see
discussion of how to remain on our mailing list on page 4). A comment
period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We will
consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to
the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please
carefully follow the instructions in the Public Participation
discussion below.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may
choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to
their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
provided under the Public Participation discussion.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. 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 your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before December 7,
2009.
    For your convenience, there are three methods which you can use to
submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please
reference the project docket number (CP10-4-000) with your submission.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
that proposed to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would
have applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9
airplanes. The NPRM was prompted by a report that a passenger entry
door assist handle became detached during use. The NPRM would have
required a detailed inspection of all passenger and service entry door
assist handles for correct installation and applicable on-condition
actions. Since issuance of the NPRM, we determined that the service
information is ineffective in addressing the unsafe condition and must
be revised. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.

DATES: The FAA is withdrawing the proposed rule published July 15, 2019
(84 FR 33710), as of March 30, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued an NPRM that proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 by
adding an AD that would apply to the specified products. The NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on July 15, 2019 (84 FR 33710). The
NPRM was prompted by a report that a passenger entry door assist handle
became detached during use. An investigation found that incorrect
installation of the door assist handle is possible due to the handle
insert giving a false indication of correct installation.
    The NPRM proposed to require a detailed inspection of all passenger
and service entry door assist handles for correct installation and
applicable on-condition actions. The proposed actions were intended to
address the possibility of an incorrectly installed door assist handle
becoming detached and unavailable to use during door operation or
airplane egress, which could cause injury to passengers, flightcrew, or
maintenance personnel.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since issuance of the NPRM, Boeing has informed the FAA that the
root cause determination has changed. The unsafe condition still exists
but the proposed service information is ineffective in correcting it,
therefore it is necessary to completely revise the service information
to address the root cause.
    Withdrawal of the NPRM constitutes only such action and does not
preclude the FAA from further rulemaking on this issue, nor does it
commit the FAA to any course of action in the future.

FAA's Conclusions

    Upon further consideration, the FAA has determined that the NPRM
does not adequately address the identified unsafe condition.
Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.

Regulatory Findings

    Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed
nor a final rule. This action therefore is not covered under Executive
Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Withdrawal

    Accordingly, the notice of proposed rulemaking, Docket No. FAA-
2019-0518, which was published in the Federal Register on July 15, 2019
(84 FR 33710), is withdrawn.

    Issued on March 24, 2020.

    Under section 512(c)(2)(F)(ii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(c)(2)(F)(ii)), this approval qualifies for
3 years of marketing exclusivity beginning on the date of approval.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:1. The 2007 NHTSA analysis of ESC effectiveness states that ESC was first available on some luxury models in 1997 while this study states (section 1.2) that ESC was first available on Mercedes and BMW vehicles in 1987. Was ESC introduced in 1987 or 1997?

2. In addition to the studies discussed in section 1.3, a number of other studies have evaluated the effectiveness of ESC. See references to those studies in the attachment.

3. There are a few typing errors in the years found in the fourth column, titled ?Years after ESC included?, of Table 1 and Table 2.

4. Some studies have compared crash rates before and after the introduction of ESC or used logistic regression instead of using contingency tables to calculate risk ratios. The reasons for not comparing the crash rates before and after the introduction of ESC were discussed in section 2.1, but there is no mention of logistic regression. The advantages and limitations of using contingency tables to compute risk ratios in comparison to logistic regression could be discussed in the report.

5. The use of contingency tables to compute risk ratios does not allow for the inclusion of confounding variables in the analysis. The inclusion of the two model years before and the two model years after the introduction of ESC only for each vehicle model allows controlling for the effect of changes in vehicles models. Possible confounding variables such as the age of the vehicle, the year of the collision and driver effects, such as age and sex, are not taken into account in the estimate of ESC effectiveness however.

6. An analysis of the causes of the increased similarity of effectiveness across cars and LTVs is mentioned in section 3.2 but no details are given. More details on that analysis would be welcome, so the reader gets a better understanding of what was done.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2017-0278; FRL-9964-65-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Illinois; Emissions Statement Rule
Certification for the 2008 Ozone Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission from the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (IEPA) dated May 9, 2017. The submission provides
IEPA's certification that its existing emission statement program,
titled ``Annual Emissions Report'', remains in effect and satisfies the
Clean Air Act (CAA) emissions statement requirement for the Illinois
portions of the Chicago-Naperville, Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin and St.
Louis-St. Charles-Farmington, Missouri-Illinois nonattainment areas
under the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
Under the CAA, states' SIPs must require stationary sources in ozone
nonattainment areas classified as marginal or above to annually report
emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Oxides of Nitrogen
(NOX).

DATES: This direct final rule is effective September 11, 2017, unless
EPA receives adverse comments by August 10, 2017. If adverse comments
are

received by EPA, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct
final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2017-0278 at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, 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. 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, please contact the person
identified in the For Further Information Contact section. For the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. Background
II. IEPA's Emission Statement Certification and EPA's Evaluation of
the State's Submission
III. Final Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    On March 12, 2008, EPA promulgated a revised 8-hour ozone NAAQS of
0.075 parts per million (ppm). See 73 FR 16436 (March 27, 2008).
Effective July 20, 2012, EPA designated nonattainment areas for the
2008 ozone NAAQS (77 FR 30088, May 21, 2012, and 77 FR 34221, June 11,
2012). The Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI and St. Louis-St. Charles-
Farmington, MO-IL areas were designated as marginal nonattainment areas
for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI was
reclassified from marginal nonattainment to moderate nonattainment on
May 4, 2016 (81 FR 26697).
    Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires states with ozone
nonattainment areas classified as marginal and above to submit
revisions to their SIPs to require the owner or operator of each
stationary source of NOX or VOC to provide the state with an
annual statement documenting the actual emissions of NOX and
VOC from their source. Under section 182(a)(3)(B)(ii), a state may
waive the emissions statement requirement for any class or category of
stationary sources which emits less than 25 tons per year of VOC or
NOX if the state, in its base year emissions inventory,
provides an inventory of emissions from such class or category of
sources. States and EPA have generally interpreted this waiver
provision to apply to sources (without specification of a specific
source class or source category) emitting less than 25 tons per year of
VOC or NOX.
    Many states, including Illinois, adopted emissions statement rules
for stationary sources in nonattainment areas under the 1-hour ozone
NAAQS, which EPA approved as part of each state's SIP. In cases where
an existing emission statement requirement is still adequate to meet
the requirements under the 2008 ozone NAAQS, states may provide the
rationale for that determination to EPA in a written statement for
approval in the SIP to meet the requirements of section 182(a)(3)(B).
See 80 FR 12264, 12291 (March 6, 2015).

II. IEPA's Emission Statement Certification and EPA's Evaluation of the
State's Submission

    IEPA submitted a proposed SIP revision on May 9, 2017 certifying
that the previously SIP-approved emissions statement regulations meet
the emissions statement requirement for areas designated as
nonattainment for the 2008 ozone standard pursuant to Sections 110 and
182 of the CAA. In its submission, IEPA stated that it has information
collection authority under Section 4 of the Illinois Environmental
Protection Act, and that IEPA collects NOX and VOC emission
statements under 35 IAC Part 254, titled ``Annual Emissions Report,''
which applies to any source located in an ozone nonattainment area that
has the potential to emit 25 tons per year or more of VOC or
NOX from all emission units during the reporting year. IEPA
further stated that these regulations also apply to permitted smaller
sources which are required to submit and certify source-wide totals of
actual emissions from all regulated air pollutants emitted. Finally,
IEPA confirmed that in general, facilities subject to part 254 must
submit actual emissions data for NOX and VOC on an annual
basis, and must certify that the information provided is accurate to
the best of the certifier's knowledge.
    EPA approved the ``Annual Emissions Report'' rules into the
Illinois SIP on May 15, 2002 (67 FR 34614). Based on this approval and
IEPA's certification, the regulations at 35 Ill. Adm. Code part 254 are
sufficient to meet the emissions statement requirements of CAA section
182(a)(3)(B) for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving, as a SIP revision, IEPA's certification that
Illinois' ``Annual Emissions Report'' rules at 35 IAC part 254 meet the
requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) under the 2008 ozone standard
for the Illinois portions of the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI and St.
Louis-St. Charles-Farmington, MO-IL ozone nonattainment areas.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective September 11,
2017 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by August 10, 2017. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. 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. If we do not receive any comments, this action will be
effective September 11, 2017.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 11, 2017. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0187; Airspace Docket No. 09-AWP-10]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of the Pacific High and Low Offshore Airspace Areas;
California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Pacific High and Low Offshore
Airspace Areas to provide additional airspace in which domestic air
traffic control procedures can be used to separate and manage aircraft
operations in the currently uncontrolled airspace off the California
coast. This change will enhance the efficient utilization of that
airspace within the National Airspace System.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, November 18, 2010. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules Group,
Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Monday, June 7, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register
a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify the Pacific High and
Low Control Areas (75 FR 32119). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal. No comments were received. The proposed legal description
contained the exclusion of active warning area airspace; it was brought
to our attention that it was not necessary to exclude active warning
areas in the description since active warning areas are excluded by
policy. With this exception, this amendment is the same as that
proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying the Pacific High and Low Offshore Airspace Areas,
by extending the present airspace boundaries further southeast of the
current location to the Mexico FIR capturing pockets of uncontrolled
airspace off the California coast. This modification will allow the
application of domestic ATC separation procedures in lieu of ICAO
separation and enhance system capacity and allow for more efficient
utilization of that airspace.
    Offshore airspace areas are published in paragraph 2003 and 6007,
respectfully, of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009 and effective
September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The offshore airspace listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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 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 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 modifies the high and low offshore airspace areas off the coast
of California.

ICAO Considerations

    As part of this action relates to navigable airspace outside the
United States, this notice is submitted in accordance with the ICAO
International Standards and Recommended Practices. The application of
International Standards and Recommended Practices by the FAA, Office of
System Operations Airspace and AIM, Airspace and Rules Group, in areas
outside the United States domestic airspace, is governed by the
Convention on International Civil Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is
governed by Article 12 and Annex 11, which pertain to the establishment
of necessary air navigational facilities and services to promote the
safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of civil air traffic. The purpose
of Article 12 and Annex 11 is to ensure that civil aircraft operations
on international air routes are performed under uniform conditions.
    The International Standards and Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction of a contracting State,
derived from ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when air traffic services
are provided and a contracting State accepts the responsibility of
providing air traffic services over high seas or in airspace of
undetermined sovereignty. A contracting State accepting this
responsibility may apply the International Standards and Recommended
Practices that are consistent with standards and practices utilized in
its domestic jurisdiction.
    In accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, State-owned
aircraft are exempt from the Standards and Recommended Practices of
Annex 11. The United States is a contracting State to the Convention.
Article 3(d) of the Convention provides that participating State
aircraft will be operated in international airspace with due regard for
the safety of civil aircraft. Since this action involves, in part, the
designation of navigable airspace outside the United States, the
Administrator is consulting with the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Defense in accordance with the provisions of Executive
Order 10854.

II. Background

    In the Federal Register of November 25, 2015 (80 FR 73695) (FRL-
9937-14), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance
petition (PP 5F8361) by MacIntosh and Associates, Inc., 1203 Hartford
Ave., St. Paul, MN 55116-1622 (on behalf of AgBiTech Pty Ltd, 8 Rocla
Ct., Glenvale, Queensland 4350, Australia). The petition requested that
40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of Spodoptera frugiperda
multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus--3AP2 in or on food crops. That document
referenced a summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner
MacIntosh and Associates, Inc. (on behalf of AgBiTech Pty Ltd), which
is available in the docket via http://www.regulations.gov. There were
no comments received in response to the notice of filing.

III. Final Rule

A. EPA's Safety Determination

    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings but does not include
occupational exposure. Pursuant to FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in
establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in
FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C), which require EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance or tolerance exemption and
to ``ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue . . .'' Additionally, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D)
requires that EPA consider ``available information concerning the
cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's . . . residues and other
substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA evaluated the available toxicity and exposure data on
Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus strain 3AP2 and
considered its validity, completeness, and reliability, as well as the
relationship of this information to human risk. A full explanation of
the data upon which EPA relied and its risk assessment based on that
data can be found within the August 31, 2016, document entitled
``Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Considerations for
Spodoptera frugiperda Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus strain 3AP2.'' This
document, as well as other relevant information, is available in the
docket for this action as described under ADDRESSES. Based upon its
evaluation, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no
harm will result to the U.S. population, including infants and
children, from aggregate exposure to residues of Spodoptera frugiperda
multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus strain 3AP2. Therefore, an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance is established for residues of
Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus strain 3AP2 in or
on all food commodities when used in accordance with label directions
and good agricultural practices.

B. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes for
the reasons contained in the August 31, 2016, document entitled
``Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Considerations for
Spodoptera frugiperda Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus strain 3AP2'' and
because EPA is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes a tolerance exemption under FFDCA section
408(d) in response to a petition submitted to EPA. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this action has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action 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
action 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).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance
exemption in this action, do not require the issuance of a proposed
rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes. As a result, this
action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, EPA has determined that this
action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or tribal
governments, on the relationship between the national government and
the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, EPA has determined that
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999), and Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), do not apply to this action. In addition, this action does not
impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as
described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2
U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require EPA's consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

V. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-84620; File No. SR-Phlx-2018-71]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Add Definitions
to Rule 1000 and Amend Risk Protections

November 19, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on November 6, 2018, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 add definitions to Rule 1000, titled
``Applicability, Definitions and References,'' amend Rule 1090, titled
``Clerks'' and amend Rule 1099, titled, ``Risk Protections.''
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqphlx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this rule change is to adopt certain definitions
within Rule 1000(b), amend Rule 1090, titled ``Clerks'' and amend Rule
1099, titled, ``Risk Protections.'' Each change is described in more
detail below.
Definitions
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 1000(b) to add three new
definitions into its Rulebook. These definitions are utilized in
technical documents issued by the Exchange and will provide an ease of
reference for understanding these terms. Specifically, Rule 1000(b)(51)
would define an account number as a number assigned to a member
organization. Member organizations may have more than one account
number. Rule 1000(b)(52) would define a badge as an account number,
which may contain letters and/or numbers, assigned to Specialists and
Registered Options Traders. A Specialist or Registered Options Trader
account may be associated with multiple badges. Finally, Rule
1000(b)(53) would define a mnemonic as an acronym comprised of letters
and/or numbers assigned to member organizations. A member organization
account may be associated with multiple mnemonics.
Risk Protections
Order Price Protection
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 1099(a)(1) relating to the
Order Price Protection or ``OPP.'' The Exchange proposes to remove the
example within Rule 1099(a)(1)(B)(i) which states, '' For example, if
the Reference BBO on the offer side is $1.10, an order to buy options
for more than $1.65 would be rejected. Similarly, if the Reference BBO
on the bid side is $1.10, an order to sell options for less than $0.55
will be rejected.'' The Exchange also proposes to remove the example
within Rule 1099(a)(1)(B)(ii) which states, ``For example, if the
Reference BBO on the offer side is $1.00, an order to buy options for
more than $2.00 would be rejected. However, if the Reference BBO of the
bid side of an incoming order to sell is less than or equal to $1.00,
the OPP limits set forth above will result in all incoming sell orders
being accepted regardless of their limit. To illustrate, if the
Reference BBO on the bid side is equal to $1.00, the OPP limits provide
protection such that all orders to sell with a limit less than $0.00
would be rejected.'' The Exchange notes that while the examples remain
accurate, the Exchange proposes to remove the text to conform the rule
text to other risk protections. The Exchange does not believe it is
necessary to have these examples within the rule text.
Market Order Spread Protection
    The Exchange proposes to add language to the Market Order Spread
Protection Rule in 1099(a)(2). First, Phlx proposes to add the word
``trading'' before the word ``halt'' within Rule in 1099(a)(2) for
consistency. In the OPP rule, text halts are referred to as ``trading
halts.'' This will avoid confusion as to the use of this term. Second,
at the time Phlx filed to amend Market Order Spread Protection on Phlx,
it noted in that rule change that this mandatory risk protection
protects Market Orders \3\ from being executed in very wide markets.\4\
Specifically, it noted within footnote 11 that the Exchange may
establish differences other than the referenced threshold for one or
more series or classes of options.\5\ At this time, the Exchange
proposes to memorialize this capability within Rule 1099(a)(2) by
stating, ``The Exchange may establish different thresholds for one or
more series or classes of options.'' The Exchange believes that adding
this provision to the rule will provide an easy reference as to the
Exchange's capability to establish different thresholds per options
series or class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Market Orders are orders to buy or sell at the best price
available at the time of execution.
    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 83141 (May 1, 2018), 83
FR 20123 (May 7, 2018) (SR-Phlx-2018-32).
    \5\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anti-Internalization
    The Exchange proposes to replace the word ``Exchange badge'' with
``market participant identifier'' to more specifically describe this
functionality.

Also the Exchange is adding ``. . . quotes and orders entered on the
opposite side of the market by the same Specialist or Registered
Options Trader using the same identifier'' and is again replacing
``badge'' with ``identifier.'' The Exchange is identifying Specialists
and Registered Options Traders in the System and preventing quotes and
orders from the same Specialists or Registered Options Traders from
executing. Finally the Exchange proposes to add the word ``order''
after complex in the last sentence of the Anti-Internalization
paragraph for clarity.
Clerks
    In order to avoid any confusion because the Exchange defined the
term ``badge,'' the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 1090, which applies
to Clerks on the Exchange's trading floor. This use of the word badge
was meant to indicate a physical identifier that is worn on the trading
floor to identify members. Therefore, the Exchange is replacing the
term ``badge'' with ``identification'' in Rule 1090.
Automated Removal of Quotes
    Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend the title of Rule
1099(c)(2) from ``Automated Removal of Quotes'' to ``Quotation
Adjustments'' to conform the title across Nasdaq markets.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors and the
public interest by bringing greater transparency to its rules.
Amendments to remove examples from the OPP rule text and add
``trading'' before the word ``halt'' within the Market Order Spread
Protection rule text will bring conformity to Rule 1090. The Exchange's
proposal to add definitions to Rule 1000(b) will bring greater clarity
to the Anti-Internalization functionality and to the Rulebook. The
Exchange's proposal to amend Rule 1090 to clarify its identification
requirements for Clerks will also provide more clarity to that rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's proposal to memorialize the ability of the Exchange
to establish different Market Order Spread Protection thresholds per
options series or class will also bring greater clarity to the rule.
Today, the Exchange has this ability, it is simply adding that text to
the rule.
    Finally, the Exchange's proposal to amend the title of Rule
1099(c)(2) from ``Automated Removal of Quotes'' to ``Quotation
Adjustments'' should better describe the rule and conform the title to
other Nasdaq affiliate markets.
    The proposals noted herein are consistent with the Act because they
provide more detail and transparency to the Exchange's rules noted
herein to the benefit of market participants.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the
proposed amendments do not impose an undue burden on competition
because the definitions and amendments to conform the rule text will
provide greater clarity as to the meaning of those terms. Memorializing
the ability of the Exchange to establish different Market Order Spread
Protection thresholds per options series or class will also bring
greater clarity to the rule. Finally, the Exchange's proposal to amend
the title of Rule 1099(c)(2) from ``Automated Removal of Quotes'' to
``Quotation Adjustments'' is non-substantive.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    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 from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \10\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \11\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so
that the proposed rule change may become operative upon filing. The
Exchange believes that waiver of the operative delay would allow the
Exchange to immediately update its rules to bring greater clarity and
transparency to the Anti-Internalization functionality, identification
requirements for Clerks, and the Exchange's risk protections.
Therefore, the Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay
and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of 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 change should be approved or
disapproved.
