33 CFR Parts 150 and 165

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0589]
RIN 1625-AA00, RIN 1625-AA11

Regulated Navigation Areas, Safety Zones, Security Zones;
Deepwater Ports in Boston Captain of the Port Zone, MA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing regulated navigation areas
(RNAs) and safety and security zones around the recently constructed
Neptune Deepwater Port Facility, and modifying RNA and safety zone
regulations for the existing Northeast Gateway Deepwater Port (NEGDWP),
both of which are located in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the
coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts. The purpose of these regulated
areas is to protect vessels and mariners from the potential safety
hazards associated with deepwater port operations, and to protect the
liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGCs) and deepwater port
infrastructure from security threats or other subversive acts. All
vessels, with the exception of LNGCs and deepwater port support
vessels, will be prohibited from anchoring within 1,000 meters of the
submerged turret loading (STL) buoys associated with the deepwater
port, and prohibited from entering waters within 500 meters of the
deepwater port STL buoys or the LNGCs using them. Additionally, vessels
will be prohibited from deploying equipment which could become
entangled in submerged infrastructure within 1,000 meters of STL buoys.

DATES: This rule is effective September 20, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On April 1, 2010, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Regulated Navigation Areas, Safety Zones, Security
Zones; Deepwater Ports in Boston Captain of the Port Zone, MA'' in the
Federal Register (75 FR 16370). We received no comments on the proposed
rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

Basis and Purpose

    The basis for this rulemaking is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish security zones, safety zones, and regulated navigation areas,
under 33 U.S.C. 1226, 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50
U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-
295, 116 Stat. 2064; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1. Generally, a security zone is an area of water, land, or both,
designated for a certain time to protect vessels, harbors, ports, and
waterfront facilities from sabotage, damage, or injury due to
subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of a similar nature. A
safety zone is an area of water, land, or both designated for a certain
time for safety or environmental purposes. A regulated navigation area
is a water area within a defined boundary for which regulations for
vessels navigating within the area have been established, to control
vessel traffic in a place determined to have hazardous conditions. 33
CFR 165.10; U.S.C.G. Commandant Instruction Manual M16704.3A, 1-5, 1-6.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect mariners from the
hazards associated with submerged deepwater port infrastructure and to
ensure safety at and around LNGCs engaged in regasification and
transfer operations at the Neptune and Northeast Gateway deepwater
ports. The Neptune RNAs will prohibit vessels from anchoring or
otherwise deploying equipment that could become entangled in submerged
infrastructure within 1,000 meters of Neptune's STL buoys, and will
prohibit vessels from commercial fishing or other activities on or
below the waterway using nets, dredges, traps, or remotely operated
vehicles (ROVs). Diving in the Neptune RNAs will be prohibited without
the permission of the COTP. This diving prohibition will also be
extended to the existing RNAs for the Northeast Gateway Deepwater Port.

Background

    On March 23, 2007, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) in
accordance with the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (DPA), as amended, 33
U.S.C. 1501 et seq., issued a license to Suez Energy to own, construct,
and operate a natural gas deepwater port. This port, Neptune Deepwater
Port (Neptune), is located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately eight
nautical miles south-southeast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, in Federal
waters. The coordinates for the two submerged turret loading buoys are:
STL Buoy A, Latitude 42[deg]29'12.3'' N, Longitude 70[deg]36'29.7'' W
and STL Buoy B, Latitude 42[deg]27'20.5'' N, Longitude 70[deg]36'7.3''
W. Neptune can accommodate the mooring, connecting, and offloading of
two (2) LNGCs at one time. Neptune's operator plans to

offload LNGCs by regasifying the liquefied natural gas (LNG) on board
the vessels. The regasified natural gas is then transferred through two
submerged turret loading buoys via a flexible riser leading to a seabed
pipeline that ties into the Algonquin Gas Transmission Pipeline for
transfer to shore.
    Among other powers, Coast Guard District Commanders may establish,
in 33 CFR Part 165:
     Regulated navigation areas--Defined water areas determined
to have hazardous conditions and in which vessel traffic can be
regulated in the interest of safety;
     Safety zones--Water or shore areas to which access may be
limited for safety or environmental purposes; and
     Security zones--Land or water areas subject to regulation
to safeguard vessels, harbors, ports, or waterfront facilities from
destruction, loss, or injury from sabotage or similar subversive acts.
    In the case of deepwater ports handling oil or natural gas, RNAs
and safety or security zones established by the District Commander may
also affect 33 CFR 150.940, which describes safety zones for specific
deepwater ports. Insofar as deepwater port safety zones involve
anchorage, they are established under the authority of the DPA, 33
U.S.C. 1509(d)(1), for the purpose of ``navigational safety.'' If a
deepwater port safety zone also provides for ``no anchoring areas''
(NAAs) or ``areas to be avoided'' (ATBAs), the District Commander must
coordinate its establishment in accordance with 33 CFR 150.915, because
NAAs and ATBAs require International Maritime Organization (IMO)
approval. Current regulations establishing safety zones for deepwater
ports in the Boston COTP Zone appear at 33 CFR 150.940(c).

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    No comments or changes were suggested to the proposed rule. None
have been made, but we have recalculated latitude and longitude
descriptions to the tenth of a second.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    The USCG and MARAD are responsible for processing license
applications to own, construct, and operate deepwater ports. To meet
the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), the Coast Guard, in cooperation with MARAD, prepared an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in conjunction with reviewing the
Neptune licensing application. Among other things, the EIS assessed the
potential economic impacts associated with the construction and
operation of Neptune and determined this rule is not a significant
regulatory action, including the no anchoring and limited access areas
that will be implemented by this rule. That EIS is available in the
public docket for the licensing application (USCG-2005-22611) at http:/
/www.regulations.gov.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit, fish, or conduct other operations within 1,000 meters of the
Neptune Deepwater Port STL buoys, as well as the owners or operators of
vessels intending to conduct diving operations in the RNAs for NEGDWP.
The impact on small entities is expected to be minimal because vessels
wishing to transit the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of these
deepwater ports may do so, provided they remain more than 500 meters
from the deepwater port's STL buoys and any LNGC vessels calling on the
deepwater port; and provided they refrain from deploying equipment
which could become entangled in submerged infrastructure within 1,000
meters of STL buoys. Vessels wishing to fish in the area may do so in
nearby and adjoining areas where otherwise permitted by applicable
fisheries regulations, and vessels wishing to conduct diving operations
may do so with the permission of the COTP.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule would not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g) of the Instruction.
    This rule involves the creation of new RNAs and safety and security
zones, which falls within the categorical exclusion provisions of
Paragraph 34(g) of the Commandant Instruction.
    An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

How can I access the docket and/or submit comments?

    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0478, which is available for online viewing at
http://www.regulations.gov, or in-person viewing at the Air and
Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room
B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public
Reading Room is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is
202-566-1744, and the telephone number for the Air and Radiation Docket
is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Use http://www.regulations.gov to obtain a copy of the draft
collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the
index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those
documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once
in the system, select ``search,'' then key in the docket ID number
identified in this document.

What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
those who produce or import gasoline containing

ethanol, or who wish to obtain a testing exemption.
    Title: Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Gasoline Volatility,
Reporting Requirements for Parties Which Produce of Import Gasoline
Containing Ethanol, and Reporting Requirements for Parties Seeking a
Testing Exemption (40 CFR 80.27) .
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1367.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0178.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2011. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Gasoline volatility, as measured by Reid Vapor Pressure
(RVP) in pounds per square inch (psi), is controlled in the spring and
summer in order to minimize evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from
motor vehicles. RVP is subject to a Federal standard of 7.8 psi or 9.0
psi, depending on location. The addition of ethanol to gasoline
increases the RVP by about 1 psi. Gasoline that contains 9 volume
percent to 10 volume percent ethanol is subject to a standard that is
1.0 psi greater. As an aid to industry compliance and EPA enforcement,
the product transfer document, which is prepared by the producer or
importer and which accompanies a shipment of gasoline containing
ethanol, is required by regulation to contain a legible and conspicuous
statement that the gasoline contains ethanol and the percentage
concentration of ethanol. This is intended to deter the mixing within
the distribution system, particularly in retail storage tanks, of
gasoline with ethanol in the 9 percent to 10 percent range with
gasoline which does not contain ethanol in that range. Such mixing
would likely result in a gasoline which is in violation of its RVP
standard. Also, a party wishing a testing exemption for research on
gasoline that is not in compliance with the applicable volatility
standard must submit certain information to EPA. EPA has proposed
additional PTD requirements for gasoline containing ethanol at 75 FR
68044 (November 4, 2010). Those requirements will be addressed in a
separate ICR.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1
second per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 2,000.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
22,000.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 12,330.
    Estimated total annual costs: $1.4 million. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $1.4 million and an estimated cost of $20 for
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 1,667 hours in the total estimated annual
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA's updating of burden
estimates. The decrease is due to an increase in the use of computer-
generated product transfer documents.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket No. FEMA-B-7786]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1 percent annual-
chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before September 18, 2008.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-7786, to
William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151 or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    Administrative Procedure Act Statement. This matter is not a
rulemaking governed by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553. FEMA publishes flood elevation determinations for notice and
comment; however, they are governed by the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and do not fall under the APA.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31382; Amdt. No. 3967]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective August 5, 2021. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of August 5, 2021.

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

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30. 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20.
The applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B,
when required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

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

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79190; File No. SR-FINRA-2016-040]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend FINRA Rule 7730 To Establish a Fee for
the Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data Product

October 28, 2016.
    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 October 25, 2016, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has
designated the proposed rule change as ``establishing or changing a
due, fee or other charge'' under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal
effective upon receipt of this filing by the Commission. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

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

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

    FINRA is proposing to amend FINRA Rule 7730 to establish a fee for
the Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data product.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    FINRA's TRACE data product offerings, set forth in Rule 7730 (Trade
Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE)), include both real-time as
well as historic data for most TRACE-eligible securities. The SEC
recently approved a new TRACE data product composed of enhanced
historic data available solely to academics (i.e., requests originating
from an institution of higher education).\5\ The new TRACE data
product--Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data -- will contain
transaction-level data on historic transactions in corporate bonds and
will include masked counterparty information.\6\ Specifically,
``Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data'' means historic transaction-level
data on all transactions in corporate bonds reported to TRACE (except a
transaction that is a List or Fixed Offering Price Transaction, as
defined in Rule 6710(q), or a Takedown Transaction, as defined in Rule
6710(r)), including Rule 144A transactions in corporate bonds, with
elements to be determined from time to time by FINRA in its discretion
and as stated in a Regulatory Notice or other equivalent
publication.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78759 (September 2,
2016), 81 FR 62222 (September 8, 2016) (``Order Approving File No.
SR-FINRA-2016-024'').
    \6\ See Rule 7730(g)(5).
    \7\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data will be delayed a minimum of
36 months and will not include Market Participant Identifiers
(``MPIDs''), but will substitute a masked dealer identifier for each
MPID included in the data.\8\ Applicants for Academic Corporate Bond
TRACE Data will be required to execute appropriate agreements with
FINRA.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See supra note 6.
    \9\ See Rule 7730(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is now proposing to amend FINRA Rule 7730 (Trade Reporting
and Compliance Engine (TRACE)) to establish fees for the Academic
Corporate Bond TRACE Data product. FINRA is proposing to establish a
data fee of $500 per calendar year (with a single set-up fee of $500)
for receipt of the Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data product. FINRA
believes that this fee is reasonable, and notes that the subscription
fee for the Historic TRACE Data Sets is $500 per year (per data set),
with a single fee of $1,000 for development and set-up to receive
Historic TRACE Data for qualifying tax-exempt organizations.
    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The effective date of the proposed rule change will be
the date of effectiveness of the Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data
product.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Order Approving File No. SR-FINRA-2016-024. FINRA will
announce the effective date of the Academic Corporate Bond TRACE
Data product in a Regulatory Notice to be published no later than 90
days following Commission approval. The effective date will be no
later than 270 days following publication of that Regulatory Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and
other persons using any facility or system that FINRA operates or
controls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the proposal, FINRA will establish fees to make
available to institutions of higher education an enhanced historic
TRACE data product that will include transaction-level data on
corporate bonds on a 36-month delayed basis with masked MPIDs. Academic
Corporate Bond TRACE Data will be made available only to institutions
of higher education for a fee of $500 per calendar year (with a single
set-up fee of $500). FINRA believes that the proposed fees are
reasonable, and notes that the fees will be applied equally to all
institutions of higher education that choose to subscribe to the data
product. Thus, FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Act.

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal to create a new
Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data product would not impose any
additional reporting requirements or costs on firms and, as a result,
would have no direct impact on firms. The proposal to establish fees in
connection with the new Academic Corporate Bond TRACE Data product
applies only to institutions of higher education that choose to
subscribe to the data product, and the proposed fees will apply equally
to all such subscribers.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
    FINRA solicited comment on a proposal to establish an enhanced
historic data product with masked dealer identifiers in Regulatory
Notice 15-26, including the proposal of a $500 fee per data set and a
one-time initial set-up fee of $500. FINRA received four comment
letters in response to the Regulatory Notice.\12\ A copy of the
Regulatory Notice is attached as Exhibit 2a. A list of comment letters
received in response to the Regulatory Notice is attached as Exhibit
2b. Copies of the comment letters received in response to the
Regulatory Notice are attached as Exhibit 2c. Of the four comment
letters received, none of the commenters discussed the $500 fee per
data set or the single set-up fee of $500.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Form D; SEC File No. 270-072, OMB Control No. 3235-0076

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
this request for extension of the previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
    Form D (17 CFR 239.500) is a notice of sales filed by issuers
making an offering of securities in reliance on an exemption under
Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.) or Section 4(a)(5) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77d(a)(5)). Regulation D sets forth
rules governing the limited offer and sale of securities without
Securities Act registration. The purpose of Form D is to collect
empirical data, which provides a continuing basis for action by the
Commission either in terms of amending existing rules and regulations
or proposing new ones. In addition, the Form D allows the Commission to
elicit information necessary in assessing the effectiveness of
Regulation D (17 CFR 230.501 et seq.) and Section 4(6) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77d(6)) as capital-raising devices
for all businesses. Form D information is required to obtain or retain
benefits under Regulation D. Approximately 23,571 issuers file Form D
and it takes approximately 4 hours per response. We estimate that 25%
of the 4 hours per response (1 hour per response) is prepared by the
issuer for an annual reporting burden of 23,571 hours (1 hour per
response x 23,571responses).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days
of this notice.

    Dated: March 6, 2020.

Assistant Secretary.

Ipconazole (125618)

Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)

Date: November 12, 2014

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?

Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active
ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.

Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then
merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not
proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.

What does it contain?

Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.

Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used
on.

Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80%
or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases,
depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.

Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural
crop.

Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural
crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).

What assumptions can I make about the reported data?

Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by
merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all
observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than
500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 &
<1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of
1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)

Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data
sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, &
rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is
less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.  If the estimated value
is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.

Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value
reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the
nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5,
then the value is labeled <2.5.

What are the data sources used?

USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service) – pesticide usage data from 2004 to
2012.

Private pesticide market research – pesticide usage data from 2004 to
2012.

California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use
Reporting (PUR) data for 2004 to 2011.

What are the limitations to the data?

Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the
available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).

Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply
zero usage.

Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not
quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the
SLUA.

Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control,
etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to
receive these estimates.

Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This
usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to
Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection
errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

Date: November 12, 2014

Screening Level Estimates of Agricultural Uses of Ipconazole (125618)

Sorted Alphabetically

Reporting Years: 2004-2012

Average	Percent Crop Treated

1	Cotton (Seed Treatment)	<500	<2.5	<2.5

2	Soybeans (Seed Treatment)	<500	<1	<2.5

3	Wheat (Seed Treatment)	<500	<1	<2.5

All numbers are rounded.

<500: less than 500 pounds of active ingredients.

  	<2.5: less than 2.5 percent of crop is treated.

 	 <1: less than 1 percent of crop is treated.

SLUA data sources include:
