Certain New Chemicals or Significant New Uses; Statements of
Findings for October 2018

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 5(g) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
requires EPA to publish in the Federal Register a statement of its
findings after its review of TSCA section 5(a) notices when EPA makes a
finding that a new chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. Such statements apply to premanufacture notices (PMNs),
microbial commercial activity notices (MCANs), and significant new use
notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5. This document
presents statements of findings made by EPA on TSCA section 5(a)
notices during the period from October 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from October 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
     The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such substance either enters or may
reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial
quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance; or
     The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
    Unreasonable risk findings must be made without consideration of
costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
in TSCA section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
    EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of a TSCA section
5(a) notice when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to PMNs,
MCANs, and SNUNs submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture of the new
chemical substance or before engaging in the significant new use.
    The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.

IV. Statements of Administrator Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)

    In this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs for which, during this
period, EPA has made findings under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) that the
new chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment:
     EPA case number assigned to the TSCA section 5(a) notice.
     Chemical identity (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
     Website link to EPA's decision document describing the
basis of the ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk'' finding
made by EPA under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. IC18-13-000 (FERC-537)]

Errata Notice

    On August 14, 2018, the Commission issued a 30-day public notice
regarding the extension of the FERC-537 information collection. That
same 30-day notice also responded to comments received on FERC-537 (Gas
Pipeline Certificates: Construction, Acquisition and Abandonment, OMB
Control No. 1902-0060) in response to a previous 60-day notice (issued
on May, 14, 2018). This Errata Notice corrects the 30-day notice and
the presentation and responses to the two public comments.
    In reference to the 30-day notice issued on August 14, 2018, the
section labeled ``Response to public comments'' should be corrected to
read as follows:
    On 5/30/2018, Ms. Joanne Collins submitted the following comment:

    I am in favor of the collection of all information necessary for
the proper performance of the function of the Commission. I am not
in favor of deciding to collect less information because it is a
burden. Using automated collection techniques or other form of
technology is fine as long as it is not required for collection.

    To the comment received from Ms. Joanne Collins, FERC responds:

    Commenter concurs in the collection of information necessary for
the Commission to make an informed decision and take appropriate
action is appropriate, but does not want less information that is
needed to not be collected solely because it is a burden on those
seeking authorizations. We confirm that all the information required
by FERC-537 continues to be necessary and that no data collections
have been revised in this current review on FERC-537. Commenter
notes that automated ways to collect information, such as eFiling
are good, as long as they are not ultimately required of all fliers.

    On 6/4/2018, Ms. Laurie Lubsen submitted the following comment:

    I oppose the above proposal because it minimizes the input from
the citizenry that will be directly affected by energy projects. We
the PEOPLE are the most important voices to be heard from a
functioning democracy, especially those directly affected by the
FERC activities.

    To the comment received from Ms. Laurie Lubsen, FERC responds:

    Commenter points out that the collection of data and information
from applicants requesting authorization to construct and operate
natural gas pipelines can create a secondary burden on the general
citizenry to learn about the Commission's rules and process; and
further to perhaps take costly and time consuming efforts to
participate in the Commission's proceedings. The Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 was not intended to measure this type of secondary
burden; only the primary burden on those applicant entities to
collect and compile the information necessary for the Government to
make an informed decision and take appropriate action. The
Commission has multiple ways, times, and methods for the general
citizenry to appropriately input their views on the Commission's
rules and process, or its individual proceedings.

    Dated: September 5, 2018.

Deputy Secretary.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-83356; File No. SR-NYSE-2018-25]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend Rule 7.37 and Rule 17 With Respect to NYSE National's Reopening
of Trading and Reactivating Connection to the Securities Information
Processors

May 31, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on May 18, 2018, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
the ``Exchange'') 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 self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to: (1) Amend Rule 7.37 to specify in
Exchange rules the Exchange's use of data feeds from NYSE National,
Inc. (``NYSE National'') for order handling and execution, order
routing, and regulatory compliance; and (2) amend Rule 17 to reflect
that Archipelago Securities LLC (``Arca Securities'') would function as
a routing broker for the Exchange's affiliate, NYSE National. The
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to update and amend the table in Rule 7.37
that sets forth on a market-by-market basis the specific network
processor and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the
handling, execution and routing of orders, and for performing the
regulatory compliance checks related to each of those functions.
Specifically, the table would be amended to include NYSE National,
which intends to reopen trading and reactivate its connections to the
securities information processors (``SIPs''). To reflect that, the
Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.37 to specify which data feeds the
Exchange would use for NYSE National. As proposed, the Exchange would
use the direct data feeds for NYSE National and would use the SIP data
feeds as a secondary source.
    Additionally, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 17 to reflect
that Arca Securities would function as a routing broker for the
Exchange's affiliate, NYSE National. Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to amend Rule 17(c)(2)(A) and (B) to reference NYSE National
as an affiliate of the Exchange for the purposes of the inbound routing
function performed by Arca Securities. The proposed rule change would
provide more clarity and transparency to all the functions that Arca
Securities performs on behalf of the Exchange and its affiliates, which
now includes NYSE

National. The Exchange is not proposing any substantive change to the
rule.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\4\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\5\ in particular, because
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange
believes its proposal to update the table in Rule 7.37 to include NYSE
National will ensure that Rule 7.37 correctly identifies and publicly
states on a market-by-market basis all of the specific network
processor and proprietary data feeds that the Exchange utilizes for the
handling, execution and routing of orders, and for performing the
regulatory compliance checks to each of those functions. The proposed
rule change also removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a
free and open market and protects investors and the public interest
because it provides additional specificity, clarity and transparency.
The Exchange believes the proposed rule change to amend Rule 17 also
removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open
market and protects investors and the public interest because the
proposed rule change would enhance the clarity and transparency in
Exchange Rules surrounding the inbound routing function performed by
Arca Securities for the Exchange's affiliate, NYSE National.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed change is not
designed to address any competitive issue but rather would provide the
public and investors with information about which data feeds the
Exchange uses for execution and routing decisions, and provide clarity
in Exchange rules that Arca Securities would perform the inbound
routing function on behalf on the Exchange's affiliate, NYSE National.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \8\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \9\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposed rule change may become operative upon filing. The Exchange
states that waiver of the operative delay would be consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because it will allow
the Exchange to immediately provide enhanced transparency in Exchange
rules regarding which data feeds the Exchange will use for NYSE
National and clarify in the Exchange's rules that Arca Securities will
perform the inbound routing function for NYSE National. The Commission
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the
Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the
proposal as operative upon filing.\10\

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \10\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
