SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may include:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this
action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI

must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so
marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set
forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, EPA
seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health
impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is announcing receipt of a pesticide petition filed under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of a pesticide chemical in
or on various food commodities. EPA is taking public comment on the
request before responding to the petitioner. EPA is not proposing any
particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the pesticide
petition described in this document contains data or information
prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); however,
EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support granting of the pesticide
petition. After considering the public comments, EPA intends to
evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data may
be needed before EPA can make a final determination on this pesticide
petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition that is the
subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is included in a
docket EPA has created for this rulemaking. The docket for this
petition is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of a pesticide chemical in or
on various food commodities. Further information on the petition may be
obtained through the petition summary referenced in this unit.
    PP 9F8780. Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, 410 South Swing Rd.,
Greensboro, NC 27409, requests to amend an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.1254 to include residues of
the fungicide Aspergillus flavus strain NRRL 21882 in or on all food
and feed commodities of almond; corn, field; corn, pop; corn, sweet;
peanut; and pistachio. The petitioner believes no analytical method is
needed because a petition for an amendment to the currently existing
exemption from tolerance for Aspergillus flavus strain NRRL 21882 has
been submitted. Note: In the Federal Register of February 10, 2020 (85
FR 7499) (FRL-10004-54), EPA announced the filing of this petition to
amend an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of
Aspergillus flavus strain NRRL 21882 to include residues in or on
almond and pistachio. Since that time, the petitioner provided a
revised petition requesting a revision to the existing tolerance
exemption to include all food and feed commodities of almond; corn,
field; corn, pop; corn, sweet; peanut; and pistachio. In order to give
the public an opportunity to comment on this new information, EPA is
republishing its receipt of this tolerance exemption petition filing
with an updated and accurate description.

    Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a.

    Dated: May 13, 2020.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2014-0298]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone, Chesapeake Bay; Cape Charles, VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on the navigable
waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Cape Charles, VA. This safety zone will
restrict vessel movement in the specified area during the Virginia
Chapter Young Presidents Organization and Cape Charles fireworks
displays. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life
and property on the surrounding navigable waters during the fireworks
displays.

DATES: This rule is effective and will be enforced from 9:30 p.m. until
10 p.m. on June 20, 2014 and August 2, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior written
notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because doing so will be
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. The enforcement of the
safety zone will be brief in time and well-publicized, and the location
is already used for other fireworks displays during the year as noted
in 33 CFR 165.506(c). It is unnecessary to provide a comment period for
the safety zone because the public is already aware of the impact that
a limited duration safety zone has in the immediate area. Additionally,
providing a comment period would be against the public interest because
of the delay that providing for a comment period would cause. Delaying
the public announcement of this safety zone would be detrimental to the
protection of life and property because of how limited notice the
public would receive about the safety zone. As a result, the public may
not be aware of the safety zone and may be at risk for danger from
falling debris and other hazards associated with fireworks in a marine
environment. The Coast Guard received the applications for these two
fireworks displays with short notice, both well after the specified
deadline of 135 days prior to the event. As such, it is in the public
interest to publish the final rule as soon as possible to provide for
maximal advertisement of the rule. By removing the comment period, the
rule will be published with much greater advanced notice, allowing the
boating public to make plans to avoid the safety zone as needed.

B. Basis and Purpose

    Spectator vessels may gather nearby to view the fireworks displays.
Due to the need for vessel control during the fireworks display, vessel
traffic will be temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of
participants, spectators and transiting vessels. Under provisions of 33
CFR 165.506, during the enforcement period, vessels may not enter the
regulated area unless they receive permission from the Coast Guard
Patrol Commander.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Captain of the Port of Hampton Roads is establishing a safety
zone on specified waters of the Chesapeake Bay within a 350 foot radius
of the position: 37[deg]-15'-47'' N/076[deg]-01'-29'' W (NAD 1983), in
the vicinity of Cape Charles, Virginia. This safety zone will be
enforced on June 20, 2014 and August 2, 2014 between the hours of 9:30
p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Access to the safety zone will be restricted during
the specified dates and times.
    Except for vessels authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
Representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the safety
zone during the time frame listed. The Captain of the Port will give
notice of the enforcement of the safety zone by all appropriate means
to provide the widest dissemination of notice among the affected
segments of the public. This will include publication in the Local
Notice to Mariners and Marine Information Broadcasts.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The primary impact of
these regulations will be on vessels wishing to transit the affected
waterways during the safety zone on the Chesapeake Bay in the vicinity
of Cape Charles, VA from 9:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. on June 20, 2014
and August 2, 2014. Although these regulations prevent traffic from
transiting a portion of the Chesapeake Bay during these events, that
restriction is limited in duration, affects only a limited area, and
will be well publicized to allow mariners to make alternative plans for
transiting the affected area.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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 might
be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in waters of the Chesapeake Bay during the outlined
timeframe.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) The
safety zone will only be in place for a limited duration, and (ii)
before the enforcement period, maritime advisories will be issued
allowing mariners to adjust their plans accordingly.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    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.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. 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.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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.

9. 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.

10. 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 does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. 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 determined
that this action is one

of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have
a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves the
establishment of a safety zone. This rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph 34-g of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency; DHS.

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On February 22, 2019, FEMA published in the Federal Register a
changes in flood hazard determination notice that contained an
erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be
used in lieu of the information published at 84 FR 5705. The table
provided here represents the changes in flood hazard determinations and
communities affected for Adams County, Colorado.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.

Correction

    In the changes in flood hazard determination notice published at 84
FR 5705 in the February 22, 2019 issue of the Federal Register, FEMA
published a table with erroneous information. This table contained
inaccurate information as to the date of modification featured in the
table.
    In this document, FEMA is publishing a table containing the
accurate information. The information provided below should be used in
lieu of that previously published.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-94377; File No. SR-CboeBZX-2022-011]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Its Fee Schedule

March 8, 2022.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on March 1, 2022, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``BZX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BZX'' or ``BZX
Equities'') proposes to amend its Fee Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule to modify the Add/
Remove Volume Tiers 1 and 2, and to eliminate the Single MPID Investor
Tier 1. The Exchange proposes to implement the proposed change to its
fee schedule on March 1, 2022.
    The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the
Exchange is only one of 16 registered equities exchanges, as well as a
number of alternative trading systems and other off-exchange venues
that do not have similar self-regulatory responsibilities under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), to which market
participants may direct their order flow. Based on publicly available
information,\3\ no single registered equities exchange has more than
16% of the market share. Thus, in such a low-concentrated and highly
competitive market, no single equities exchange possesses significant
pricing power in the execution of order flow. The Exchange in
particular operates a ``Maker-Taker'' model whereby it pays credits to
Members that add liquidity and assesses fees to those that remove
liquidity. The Exchange's fee schedule sets forth the standard rebates
and rates applied per share for orders that provide and remove
liquidity, respectively. Particularly, for securities at or above
$1.00, the Exchange provides a standard rebate of $0.0016 per share for
orders that add liquidity and assesses a fee of $0.0030 per share for
orders that remove liquidity. Additionally, in response to the
competitive environment, the Exchange also offers tiered pricing which
provides Members opportunities to qualify for higher rebates or reduced
fees where certain volume criteria and thresholds are met. Tiered
pricing provides an incremental incentive for Members to strive for
higher tier levels, which provides increasingly higher benefits or
discounts for satisfying increasingly more stringent criteria.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Cboe Global Markets, U.S. Equities Market Volume
Summary, Month-to-Date (February 22, 2022), available at https://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/market_statistics/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under footnote 1 of the Fee Schedule, the Exchange currently offers
various Add/Remove Volume Tiers. In particular, the Exchange offers six
displayed add volume tiers that each provide an enhanced rebate for
Members' qualifying orders yielding fee codes B,\4\ V,\5\ or Y,\6\
where a Member reaches certain add volume-based criteria. Currently
Tiers 1 and 2 are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``B'' are orders adding liquidity
to BZX (Tape B).
    \5\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``V'' are orders adding liquidity
to BZX (Tape A).
    \6\ Orders yielding Fee Code ``Y'' are orders adding liquidity
to BZX (Tape C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Tier 1 provides a rebate of $0.0020 per share to
qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, or Y) where
the Member has an ADAV \7\ as a percentage of TCV \8\ equal to or
greater than 0.10%, or the Member has an ADAV equal to or greater than
10 million shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ ``ADAV'' means average daily added volume calculated as the
number of shares added per day and ``ADV'' means average daily
volume calculated as the number of shares added or removed,
combined, per day. ADAV and ADV are calculated on a monthly basis.
    \8\ ``TCV'' means total consolidated volume calculated as the
volume reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to a
consolidated transaction reporting plan for the month for which the
fees apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Tier 2 provides a rebate of $0.0025 per share to
qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, or Y) where
the Member has an ADAV as a percentage of TCV equal to or greater than
0.20%, or the Member has an ADAV equal to or greater than 20 million
shares.
    Now, the Exchange proposes to amend the criteria of Tier 1 and
reduce the rebate applicable to Tier 2. Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to amend Tiers 1 and 2 as follows:
     Proposed Tier 1 will provide a rebate of $0.0020 per share
to qualifying orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, or Y) where
the Member has an ADAV as a percentage of TCV equal to or greater than
0.15%, or the Member has an ADAV equal to or greater than 15 million
shares.
     Tier 2 provides a rebate of $0.23 per share to qualifying
orders (i.e., orders yielding fee codes B, V, or Y) where the Member
has an ADAV as a percentage of TCV equal to or greater than 0.20%, or
the Member has an ADAV equal to or greater than 20 million shares.
    Under footnote 4 of the Fee Schedule, the Exchange currently offers
two Single MPID Investor Tiers. In particular, the Single MPID Investor
Tier 1 provides an enhanced rebate of $0.0030 per share for

Members qualifying orders yielding fee codes B, V, or Y where (1) an
MPID has a Step-Up ADV \9\ from May 2021 equal to or greater than 0.10%
of TCV or a Step-Up ADV from May 2021 equal to or greater than 8
million shares; and (2) the MPID adds a Step-Up ADAV \10\ from May 2021
equal to or greater than 0.05% of TCV. Now, the Exchange proposes to
eliminate the Single MPID Investor Tier 1 as no Member has reached this
tier in several months and the Exchange therefore no longer wishes to,
nor is it required to, maintain such a tier. Based on the proposed
elimination of Single MPID Investor Tier 1, the Exchange also proposes
to renumber existing Single MPID Investor Tier 2 to Single MPID
Investor Tier 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ ``Step-Up ADV'' means ADV in the relevant baseline month
subtracted from current day ADV.
    \10\ ``Step-Up ADAV'' means ADAV in the relevant baseline month
subtracted from current ADAV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\11\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5),\12\ in
particular, as it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation
of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its Members, issuers
and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive or incentives to be insufficient. The
proposed rule changes reflect a competitive pricing structure designed
to incentivize market participants to direct their order flow to the
Exchange, which the Exchange believes would enhance market quality to
the benefit of all Members, and thus is in the public interest.
Additionally, the Exchange notes that relative volume-based incentives
and discounts have been widely adopted by exchanges,\13\ including the
Exchange,\14\ and are reasonable, equitable and non-discriminatory
because they are open to all Members on an equal basis and provide
additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably related to (i) the
value to an exchange's market quality and (ii) associated higher levels
of market activity, such as higher levels of liquidity provision and/or
growth patterns. Competing equity exchanges offer similar tiered
pricing structures, including schedules of rebates and fees that apply
based upon members achieving certain volume and/or growth thresholds,
as well as assess similar fees or rebates for similar types of orders,
to that of the Exchange.

    \13\ See EDGX Equities Fee Schedule, Footnote 1, Add/Remove
Volume Tiers.
    \14\ See BZX Equities Fee Schedule, Footnote 1, Add/Remove
Volume Tiers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the proposed changes to the criteria of the displayed add
volume Tier 1 is more stringent than the current criteria, the Exchange
believes that the change is reasonable as it continues to incentivize
Members to increase their displayed liquidity adding volume on the
Exchange. Additionally, while the displayed add volume Tier 2 provides
a lesser rebate than that currently offered under the same criteria,
the Exchange similarly believes that the change is reasonable as it
continues to incentivize Members to increase their displayed liquidity
adding volume on the Exchange. Furthermore, the Exchange believes that
the existing and proposed enhanced rebates under Tiers 1 and 2,
respectively, are commensurate with the proposed and existing criteria,
respectively. Proposed Tiers 1 and 2 will continue to be available to
all Members and provide all Members with an additional opportunity to
receive an enhanced rebate. An overall increase in activity would
deepen the Exchange's liquidity pool, offers additional cost savings,
support the quality of price discovery, promote market transparency and
improve market quality, for all investors.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposal represents an
equitable allocation of fees and rebates and is not unfairly
discriminatory because all Members will be eligible for the displayed
add volume Tiers 1 and 2 and have the opportunity to meet the Tiers'
criteria and receive the corresponding enhanced rebate if such criteria
is met. Without having a view of activity on other markets and off-
exchange venues, the Exchange has no way of knowing whether these
proposed changes would definitely result in any Members qualifying for
Tiers 1 and 2. While the Exchange has no way of predicting with
certainty how the proposed changes will impact Member activity, based
on trading activity from the prior month, the Exchange anticipates that
no Member will achieve proposed Tier 1 and two Members will satisfy the
criteria under proposed Tier 2. The Exchange also notes that proposed
changes will not adversely impact any Member's ability to qualify for
reduced fees or enhanced rebates offered under other tiers. Should a
Member not meet the proposed new criteria, the Member will merely not
receive that corresponding enhanced rebate.
    The Exchange believes the proposed amendment to remove Single MPID
Investor Tier 1 is reasonable because no Member has achieved this tier
in several months. Moreover, the Exchange is not required to maintain
this tier and Members still have a number of other opportunities and a
variety of ways to receive enhanced rebates for displayed liquidity,
including the enhanced rebate under the proposed Single MPID Investor
Tier 1. The Exchange believes the proposal to eliminate this tier is
also equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it applies to
all Members.

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 intramarket or intermarket competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Particularly, the proposed changes apply to all orders equally, and
thus applies to all Members equally. Additionally, the Exchange
believes the proposed rule change does not impose any burden on
intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purpose of the Act.
    As previously discussed, the Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market. Members have numerous alternative venues that they
may participate on and direct their order flow, including other
equities exchanges, off-exchange venues, and alternative trading
systems. Additionally, the Exchange represents a small percentage of
the overall market. Based on publicly available information, no single
equities exchange has more than 16% of the market share.\15\ Therefore,
no exchange possesses significant pricing power in the execution of
order flow. Indeed, participants can readily choose to send their
orders to other exchange and off-exchange venues if they deem fee
levels at those other venues to be more favorable. Moreover, the
Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over
regulatory intervention in determining prices, products, and services
in the securities markets. Specifically, in Regulation NMS, the
Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in determining
prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized that current regulation
of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in promoting
market competition in its broader forms that are most important to

investors and listed companies.'' \16\ The fact that this market is
competitive has also long been recognized by the courts. In
NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit
stated as follows: ``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow
is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market
system, buyers and sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that
act as their order-routing agents, have a wide range of choices of
where to route orders for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to
take its market share percentages for granted' because `no exchange
possesses a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of
order flow from broker dealers'. . . .''.\17\ Accordingly, the Exchange
does not believe its proposed fee changes imposes any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.

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

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

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

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \18\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \19\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP10-101-000]

Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization

March 30, 2010.
    Take notice that on March 25, 2010, Kinder Morgan Louisiana
Pipeline LLC (KMLP), 3250 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, IL
60515, filed in Docket No. CP10-101-000, a prior notice request
pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208, 157.211, and 157.212 of the
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). KMLP seeks
authorization to construct and operate a new tap, including ball valve
and riser and approximately 15 feet of 8-inch pipe to connect the KMPL
system to Targa Louisiana Field Services LLC in Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana in order to deliver re-vaporized liquefied natural gas to
Targa. KMLP proposes to perform these activities under its blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP06-451-000 [119 FERC ] 61,309
(2007)], all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, KMLP proposes to construct and operate facilities in
Calcacieu Parish, Louisiana necessary to establish an interconnection
with Targa's non-jurisdictional natural gas gathering and processing
facilities. The facilities to be constructed by KMLP include an 8-inch
tap, 8-inch ball valve, riser, 15-feet of 8-inch diameter piping and
such other appurtenant facilities as deemed necessary to effectuate the
interconnect. The remainder of the interconnect will be comprised of
non-jurisdictional facilities such as meter tube outlet vents, valve
actuators, over pressure protection, a line heater, and cathodic
protection equipment to be constructed by Targa on an existing meter
site associated with Targa's gathering and processing facilities. This

Air Plan Approval; AL; VOC Definitions and Particulate Emissions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On May 19, 2017, the State of Alabama, through the Alabama
Department of Environmental Management, submitted changes to the
Alabama State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the submission that modifies the
State's air quality regulations as incorporated into the SIP.
Specifically, the revision pertains to definitional changes, including
the modification of the definition of ``volatile organic compounds,''
correcting a typographical error, and removing control of particulate
emissions and opacity limits.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 15,
2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2017-0436 at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. 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, the full EPA public comment
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general
guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

reached via electronic mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this issue of
the Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this
as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at
this time.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53040; File No. SR-CBOE-2005-116]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Extend a Pilot Program Relating to Electronic DPMs and
Affiliated Market-Makers

December 28, 2005.
    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 December 23, 2005, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange.
The Exchange filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed
rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ 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.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE proposes to extend the pilot allowing Electronic DPMs (``e-
DPMS'') to have up to one affiliated Market-Maker trade in classes
assigned to the e-DPM. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com), at the

Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission.

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend CBOE Rule 8.93(vii) to extend the
pilot program allowing an e-DPM the option to have up to one separate
affiliated Market-Maker physically present in the trading crowds where
it operates as an e-DPM (such Market-Makers would be required to trade
on a separate membership). The pilot would be extended from January 12,
2006 until September 14, 2006.
    In July of 2004, the SEC approved File No. SR-CBOE-2004-24, which
established the e-DPM program, including the pilot program.\5\ The
pilot allows e-DPM firms to maintain a physical presence in the trading
crowd through an affiliated Market-Maker, who would also be able to
electronically stream a quote. The pilot, however, limits the number of
separate affiliates per trading crowd to one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 50003 (July 12,
2004), 69 FR 43028 (July 19, 2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE will be sending the Commission, under separate cover, data
relating to: (1) The size of the orders that e-DPM's and affiliated
Market-Makers both trade with electronically; (2) the price and size of
the e-DPM's and the affiliated Market-Maker's respective quotes; (3)
the price and size of quotes of other participants in the classes where
an e-DPM and an affiliate are quoting; and (4) a breakdown of how
orders are allocated to the e-DPM, the affiliated Market-Maker, and any
other participants.
    The date chosen to extend the pilot program corresponds with the
ending date of a matching pilot program for Remote Market-Makers (RMMs)
found in CBOE Rule 8.4(c)(i). Thus, the date chosen would allow the
Commission to evaluate both pilot programs simultaneously.
2. Statutory Basis
    CBOE believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations under the Act applicable to a national
securities exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section
6(b) of the Act.\6\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \7\ requirements
that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule 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 if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, provided that the Exchange has given
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule
change at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change,
the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) of the Act,\10\ the proposal does not
become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has
requested that the Commission accelerate the 30-day operative date and
waive the five day pre-filing requirement. The Commission, consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest, has
determined to accelerate the 30-day operative date and waive the five
day pre-filing requirement, so that the e-DPM pilot program may
continue without interruption.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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