DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2016-0002-N-27]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice
announces that the renewals and reinstatements of the information
collection requests (ICRs) abstracted below are being forwarded to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICRs
describe the information collections and their expected burden. On
September 23, 2016, FRA published a notice providing a 60-day period
for public comment on the ICRs.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 27, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad Safety, Safety
Regulatory Analysis Division, RRS-21, Federal Railroad Administration,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590, (202)
493-6292, or Ms. Kimberly Toone, Information Collection Clearance
Officer, Office of

Administration, Office of Information Technology, RAD-20, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Mail Stop 35,
Washington, DC 20590,<PHONE_NUMBER>. These telephone numbers are not
toll-free.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
issue two notices seeking public comment on information collection
activities before OMB may approve paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506,
3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1), and 1320.12. On September 23, 2016,
FRA published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register soliciting
comment on ICRs for which it is now seeking OMB approval. 81 FR 65698-
656701. FRA received no comments in response to that notice.
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b), 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also
60 FR 44978, 44983, August 29, 1995. OMB believes the 30-day notice
informs the regulated community to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication
to best ensure having their full effect. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60
FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
    The summary below describes the ICRs and their expected burdens.

    Title: Alleged Violation Reporting Form.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0590.
    Abstract: The Alleged Violation Reporting Form is a response to
section 307(b) of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, signed into
law by President George W. Bush on October 16, 2008, which requires FRA
to ``provide a mechanism for the public to submit written reports of
potential violations of Federal railroad safety and hazardous materials
transportation laws, regulations, and orders to the Federal Railroad
Administration.'' The Alleged Violation Reporting Form allows the
general public to submit alleged violations directly to FRA. The form
allows FRA to collect information necessary to investigate the alleged
violation and to follow up with the submitting party.
    The Alleged Violation Reporting Form collects the name, telephone
number and email address of the person submitting the alleged
violations; the preferred method to contact the person; the railroad or
company name that committed the alleged violation, the date and time
the alleged violation occurred; the location the alleged violation
occurred; and details about the alleged violation. All information is
voluntary. FRA collects the information via a form on the FRA public
Web site. FRA may share the information collected with FRA employees,
State DOT partners, and law enforcement agencies.
    Type of Request: Extension with change of a currently approved
information collection.
    Affected Public: General Public.
    Form(s): FRA F 6180.151.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 80 hours.
    Total Annual Estimated Responses: 480.
    Status: Regular Review.

    Title: Remotely Controlled Switch Operations.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0516.
    Abstract: The regulations at 49 CFR 218.30 and 218.77 ensure
remotely controlled switches are properly lined to protect workers who
are vulnerable to being struck by moving cars as they inspect or
service rolling equipment on a particular track or, alternatively,
occupy camp cars. FRA believes that creating required notifications
promotes safety by minimizing mental lapses of workers who are
simultaneously handling several tasks. Sections 49 CFR 218.30 and
218.77 require the operator of remotely controlled switches to maintain
a record of each notification requesting Blue Signal Protection for 15
days. Operators of remotely controlled switches use the information as
a record documenting Blue Signal Protection of workers or camp cars.
This record also serves as a valuable resource for railroad supervisors
and FRA inspectors monitoring regulatory compliance.
    Type of Request: Extension with change of a currently approved
information collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 30,420 hours.
    Total Annual Estimated Responses: 1,825,150.
    Status: Regular Review.

    Title: Bad Order and Home Shop for Repair Card/Tag.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0519.
    Abstract: Under 49 CFR part 215, each railroad must inspect freight
cars placed in service and take necessary remedial action when defects
are identified. Part 215 defects are items that have caused accidents
or incidents by freight cars being inadvertently left in service when
not properly tagged. A railroad freight car which has any component
described as defective in part 215 may be moved to another location for
repair only after the railroad has complied the process in Sec.  215.9
to ensure the movement is done safely. Section 215.9 requires railroads
to attach a ``bad order'' or ``home shop for repair'' card/tag (tag)
describing each defect to each side of the freight car. It is
imperative that a defective freight car be tagged so it may be readily
identified as defective and moved to another location for repair
purposes only. At the repair location, the tag serves as a record that
the notification requirements under Sec.  215.9(a)(3) have been
provided to ensure proper handling of freight cars. Railroads must
retain each tag for 90 days to verify proper repairs were made at the
designated location. When inspecting a freight car, FRA and State
inspectors also review tags to determine whether defective cars are
being properly moved according to Sec.  215.9.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
information collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 15,750 hours.
    Total Annual Estimated Responses: 270,000.
    Status: Regular Review.

    Title: Stenciling Freight Cars.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0520.
    Abstract: The requirements for stenciling freight cars that are
placed in service are under 49 CFR 215.301. Section 215.301 requires
railroads and private car owners to stencil or otherwise display
identification marks on freight cars. The identification marks are used
by both FRA and the railroads. FRA uses the identification marks to
determine the railroads affected, the number and type of cars involved,
the commodities being carried, and the territorial and speed limits
within which the cars will be operated. FRA reviews this information to
determine if the freight car is safe to operate, if the operation
qualifies for dedicated service, and is excluded from part 215.
Railroads use the required information to provide identification and
control so that dedicated cars remain in the prescribed service. In
addition, it indicates to FRA that the car is in special service and
certain exceptions have been provided for, with respect to part 215.

    Request: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved
collection that expired.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 18,750 hours.
    Total Annual Estimated Responses: 25,000.
    Status: Regular Review.

    Title: Grade Crossing Safety.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0534.
    Abstract: FRA believes that highway-rail grade crossing (grade
crossing) accidents resulting from warning system failures can be
reduced. Accordingly, FRA's regulations require railroads to take
specific responses in the event of an activation failure (when a grade
crossing warning system fails to indicate the arrival of a train at
least 20 seconds prior to the train's arrival at the crossing or to
indicate the presence of a train occupying the crossing). Specifically,
railroads must report to FRA every impact between on-track railroad
equipment and an automobile, bus, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, farm
vehicle, or pedestrian at a highway-rail grade crossing involving a
crossing warning system activation failure. Notification must be
provided to the National Response Center within 24 hours of occurrence
at the stipulated toll-free telephone number. Additionally, railroads
must report to FRA within 15 days each activation failure of a highway-
rail grade warning system. Form FRA F 6180.83, ``Highway-Rail Grade
Crossing Warning System Report,'' must be used for this purpose and
completed using the instructions printed on the form. With this
information, FRA can correlate accident data and equipment malfunctions
with the types of circuits and age of equipment. FRA can then identify
the causes of activation malfunctions and investigate them to determine
whether periodic maintenance, inspection, and testing standards are
effective.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved
collection that expired.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 3,425 hours.
    Total Annual Estimated Responses: 15,372.
    Status: Regular Review.

    Title: Bridge Worker Safety Rules.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0535.
    Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. 20139, FRA must issue rules, regulations,
orders, and standards for the safety of maintenance-of-way employees on
railroad bridges, including for ``bridge safety equipment'' such as
nets, walkways, handrails, and safety lines, along with requirements
for using vessels when work is performed on bridges located over bodies
of water. FRA added 49 CFR part 214 to establish minimum workplace
safety standards for railroad employees performing work on railroad
bridges. Specifically, 49 CFR 214.105(c) establishes standards and
practices for safety net systems. Safety nets and net installations
must be drop-tested at the job site after initial installation and
before being used as a fall-protection system, after major repairs, and
at 6-month intervals if left at one site. If a drop-test is not
feasible and is not performed, then the railroad or railroad
contractor, or designated competent person, must certify the net and
its installation comply with the provisions of this section by
preparing a certification record prior to the use of the net. The
certification must identify the net, the date it was determined the net
was in compliance with this section, and the signature of the person
making this determination. Such person's signature must certify the net
and its installation comply with this section. The most recent
certification for each net installation must be available at the
jobsite where the subject net is located. FRA and State inspectors use
the information to enforce Federal regulations. The information
maintained at the job site promotes safe bridge worker practices.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
information collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses (Railroads).
    Form(s): N/A.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 1 hour.
    Total Annual Estimated Responses: 6.
    Status: Regular Review.
    Addressee: Send comments regarding these information collections to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments may also be sent via email to OMB
at the following address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed
collections of information are necessary for DOT to properly perform
its functions, including: (1) Whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of DOT's estimates of the burden of the
proposed information collections; (2) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (3) ways
to minimize the burden of the collections of information on
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
    A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

Critical Review of Aquatic Ecosystem Models: In the Charge Question #1,
EPA has asked the Panel to comment on the use of a community simulation
model, and to consider other models for this program. The enclosed
chapter from the open literature provides a critical review of aquatic
ecological toxicology models, assessing the state of the art as of 2002
(prior to the adaptation of "CASM" to form the specific regulatory
CASM_Atrazine model).  This critical review indicates that CASM is a
highly realistic, flexible model that is adaptable to approaches such as
the one being considered by the Panel.

Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in Submitted
Early Progress Plan Ventura County 8-Hour Ozone for Transportation
Conformity Purposes; California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Adequacy.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that the Agency
has found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets for 8-hour ozone in
the Ventura County 8-hour Ozone Early Progress Plan are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. The Ventura County 8-hour Ozone
Early Progress Plan was submitted to EPA on March 24, 2008 by the
California Air Resources Board as a revision to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). As a result of our adequacy findings, the
Southern California Association of Governments and the U.S. Department
of Transportation must use these budgets in future conformity analyses
once the finding becomes effective.

DATES: This finding is effective May 20, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adrienne Priselac, U.S. EPA, Region
IX, Air Division AIR-2, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-
3901;<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.
    Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region IX sent a letter to the California Air
Resources Board on April 16, 2008 stating that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets in the submitted Ventura County 8-hour Ozone Early
Progress Plan for 2009 are adequate. The finding is available at EPA's
conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/
adequacy.htm. The adequate motor vehicle emissions budgets are provided
in the following table:

                     Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets

                                     Volatile organic
            Budget year               compounds \1\     Nitrogen oxides

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2009..............................                13                19
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The plan uses a comparable State term, reactive organic gases (ROG).

    Transportation conformity is required by Clean Air Act section
176(c). EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation plans,
transportation improvement programs, and projects conform to state air
quality

implementation plans (SIPs) and establishes the criteria and procedures
for determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP means that
transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards.
    The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP's motor vehicle
emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in
40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We have described our process for determining the
adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004 preamble starting
at 69 FR 40038 and we used the information in these resources in making
our adequacy determination. Please note that an adequacy review is
separate from EPA's completeness review, and should not be used to
prejudge EPA's ultimate approval action for the SIP. Even if we find a
budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved.

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 amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures 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 for the 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 May 26, 2022. 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 May 26, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the
need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction
on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication
of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and 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 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 and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    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 these
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.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Position Limits and Position Reporting Obligations for Conventional
Index and Equity Options

January 30, 2006.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby
given that on January 23, 2006, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (``NASD'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by NASD. 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

    NASD is proposing to amend NASD Rule 2860 to: (a) Revise the
definition of the term ``underlying index'' to include indexes
underlying standardized index options and other indexes that meet
certain specified criteria; and (b) allow members to calculate the
position limits, in accordance with volume and float criteria specified
by the options exchanges, for conventional equity options overlying
securities that are part of the FTSE All-World Index Series.\3\ The
text of the proposed rule change is available on the NASD's Web site
(http: //http://www.nasd.com), at the NASD's principal office, and at the

Commission's Public Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange operate
the FTSE All-World Index Series, which covers approximately 30
different countries and over 1900 stocks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 NASD 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
    Amendment to Definition of ``Underlying Index'': NASD Rule 2860
governs the activities of members in standardized and conventional
options contracts. Paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 2860 imposes a position-
reporting obligation on members when they or their customers establish
options positions that exceed certain thresholds. Specifically, members
are required to file, or cause to be filed, a report with NASD with
respect to each account that establishes an aggregate position of 200
or more contracts on the same side of the market covering the same
underlying security or index. The current definition of ``underlying
index'' is limited to an index upon which a Nasdaq index option is
based.\4\ Since Nasdaq no longer trades any index options, this
definition fails to require members to report positions in conventional
index options. The proposed rule change would require members to report
positions in conventional \5\ index options and would require access
firms to report position limits in standardized index options.\6\ In

a separate filing, in connection with NASD's proposed rule changes to
reflect Nasdaq's separation from NASD following the Commission's
approval of Nasdaq as a national securities exchange,\7\ NASD has
proposed to amend Rule 2860 to remove all references to Nasdaq.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Nasdaq briefly traded stock index options in the mid-1980s.
    \5\ A ``conventional option'' is an option contract not issued
or subject to issuance by the Options Clearing Corporation. See Rule
2860(b)(2)(N).
    \6\ As noted in Notice to Members 01-01, the options position
reporting requirements are applicable to all standardized options
positions established by ``access'' firms or their customers and all
conventional options positions established by members or their
customers. Access firms, in this context, are understood to be NASD
members that conduct a business in standardized options but are not
themselves members of the options exchange upon which such options
are listed and traded.
    \7\ See In the Matter of the Application of the Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53128 (January 13,
2006), 71 FR 3550 (January 23, 2006) (File No. 10-131).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52049 (July 15,
2005), 70 FR 42398 (July 22, 2005) (SR-NASD-2005-087).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To require members to report members' and customers' positions in
conventional index options, NASD proposes amending the definition of
``underlying index'' to mean an index underlying a ``standardized index
option'' or ``conventional index option.'' In addition, the proposed
rule change would define the terms ``standardized index option'' and
``conventional index option.'' Under the proposed rule change, the
definition of ``underlying index'' would include indexes such as the
S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq 100, because
these indexes underlie standardized index options that are issued, or
subject to issuance, by the Options Clearing Corporation.
    The proposed rule change also would amend the definition of
``underlying index'' to include certain indexes that do not underlie
standardized index options but that meet specified criteria. The
proposed criteria for customized indexes are based upon the standards
in place at the options exchanges for listing narrow-based index
options.\9\ The purpose of these criteria is to exclude from the
definition of ``underlying index'' indexes that are so narrowly
constructed that they are the economic equivalent of, or have
attributes of, an equity option on common stock. These criteria also
serve to prevent the creation of an index so narrow as to subvert
position limit requirements, which do not apply to conventional index
options.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See, e.g., Chicago Board Options Exchange (``CBOE'') Rule
24.2(b).
    \10\ See NASD Notice to Members 94-46 (June 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposed rule change, a member would have the burden of
demonstrating that an index meets the specified criteria before it
would be considered a ``conventional index option.'' Thus, members
should maintain detailed records to be able to demonstrate promptly,
upon a request from NASD, that a particular ``conventional index
option'' meets the necessary criteria. Members also should be aware
that options based on a security that do not meet the definition of
``conventional index option'' would continue to be subject to position
limits and position reporting requirements as if the non-conforming
index were deconstructed into its equity security components.
    Position Limits for Conventional Equity Options Overlying Certain
Foreign Securities: The proposed rule change also addresses the need
for members to identify position limits for conventional equity options
on securities that do not underlie a standardized equity option. Under
Rule 2860(b)(3)(viii), the position limits for conventional equity
options are the same as the limits for the standardized equity options
overlying the same security. For example, if standardized equity
options on ABC have a position limit of 75,000 contracts, then
conventional equity options on ABC also have a position limit of 75,000
contracts. On the other hand, for an option on an equally liquid
foreign security such as DEF, for which there are no standardized
equity options, a member must obtain prior approval from NASD staff for
any position limit in excess of 13,500 contracts (the base limit in the
absence of a pilot program \11\). Obtaining prior approval could place
a significant burden on a member's ability to execute transactions with
customers given the time difference between the foreign market and the
U.S. market and the time frame in which customers typically desire to
trade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The six national securities exchanges that list and trade
options have adopted pilot rules establishing higher position limits
for standardized options. These pilots expire between February 23,
2006 and March 3, 2006. See infra note 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would allow members to calculate on their
own the position limits for conventional equity options overlying
securities that are part of the FTSE All-World Index Series using the
volume and float criteria (as measured during the most recent six-month
period) established by the option exchanges' rules.\12\ The position
limit levels are described in the chart below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Commentary .07 to American Stock Exchange Rule 904,
section 7(c) of Chapter III of the Boston Options Exchange Rules,
Interpretation .02 to CBOE Rule 4.11; International Securities
Exchange Rule 412(d); Commentary .06 to Pacific Exchange Rule 6.8;
Commentary .05 to Philadelphia Stock Exchange Rule 1001.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Options position limit                      Criteria
------------------------------------------------------------------------
22,500 (or 50,000 during the   Trading volume of 20,000,000 shares; or
 pilot period).                 trading volume of 15,000,000 shares, and
                                40,000,000 shares currently outstanding.
31,500 (or 75,000 during the   Trading volume of 40,000,000 shares; or
 pilot period).                 trading volume of 30,000,000 shares, and
                                120,000,000 shares currently
                                outstanding.
60,000 (or 200,000 during the  Trading volume of 80,000,000 shares; or
 pilot period).                 trading volume of 60,000,000 shares, and
                                240,000,000 shares currently
                                outstanding.
75,000 (or 250,000 during the  Trading volume of 100,000,000 shares; or
 pilot period).                 trading volume of 75,000,000 shares, and
                                300,000,000 shares currently
                                outstanding.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASD has chosen the FTSE All-World Index Series \13\ in part
because the Commission staff has deemed securities in the predecessor
to this index of foreign securities to receive comparable treatment to
U.S. equity securities under the securities haircut provisions of the
Commission's net capital rule as set forth in Rule 15c3-1 under the
Exchange Act,\14\ and the Federal Reserve Board recognizes this index
for determining whether stocks are eligible for margin treatment.\15\
Under the proposed rule change, a member would make a post-trade notice
filing-within

one business day--to NASD staff providing the necessary trade data and/
or current float data to support the member's position limit
calculation. Thus, in the example above, a conventional equity option
on DEF would be subject to a position limit of 75,000 contracts rather
than 13,500 contracts because the underlying securities'
characteristics meet the volume and float thresholds established by the
options exchanges necessary to raise the position limits from 13,500
contracts to 75,000 contracts, provided the member makes the necessary
filing within the prescribed time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ In the event NASD designates another index in addition to
or instead of the FTSE All-World Index Series, NASD will publish the
designation of the new applicable index in a Notice to Members and
provide members at least 30 days written notice of the change.
    \14\ Letter to Dominic A. Carone, Capital Committee Chairman,
Securities Industry Association from Michael Macchiaroli, Assistant
Director, Division of Market Regulation, Commission, dated August
13, 1993. See 1993 SEC No-Act LEXIS 967 (Aug. 13, 1993).
    \15\ See section 220.11(c) and (d) of Regulation T, 12 CFR part
220.11(c) and (d). See also 69 FR 10601 (March 8, 2004) (removing
certain foreign securities from the list of securities that meet the
financial requirements of section 220.11(c) and (d) of Regulation
T).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposed rule change, NASD staff would review the
member's notice filing, and, if the staff determined that a member
incorrectly assigned a position limit, it would notify the firm and
instruct the firm to reduce its position promptly to fall below the
appropriate limits determined by the NASD staff.
    NASD would announce the effective date of the proposed rule change
in a Notice to Members to be published no later than 60 days following
Commission approval, if the Commission approves this proposal. The
effective date would be 30 days following publication of the Notice to
Members announcing any Commission approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASD believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of section 15A(b)(6) of the Exchange Act,\16\ which
requires, among other things, that NASD's rules must be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. NASD believes that amending the
definition of ``underlying index'' would ensure more complete reporting
of options positions. NASD also believes that permitting members to
calculate position limits for certain foreign securities would enable
members to effect options transaction in such securities without
unnecessary delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change would result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or (ii) as to
which the NASD consents, the Commission will:
    A. By order approve such proposed rule change; or
    B. Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Exchange Act. Comments may be submitted
by any of the following methods.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0062; Airspace Docket No. 09-AGL-2]

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Minneapolis, MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

Minneapolis, MN, area. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to
accommodate new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at
Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field), Minneapolis, MN. Also, there
would be a minor adjustment to the geographic coordinates for the
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The FAA is taking this
action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) aircraft operations at Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field).

DATES: 0901 UTC. Comments must be received on or before June 5, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001. You
must identify the docket number FAA-2009-0062/Airspace Docket No. 09-
AGL-1, at the beginning of your comments. You may also submit comments
on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. You may review the
public docket containing the proposal, any comments received, and any
final disposition in person in the Dockets Office between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Office
(telephone 1-800-647-5527), is on the ground floor of the building at
the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments

on this notice must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to Docket No. FAA-2009-0062/Airspace Docket No. 09-AGL-1.'' The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://
www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/publications/airspace_
amendments/.
    Additionally, any person may obtain a copy of this notice by
submitting a request to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, ATA-400, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Communications must identify both docket numbers for this notice.
Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs
should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by adding additional controlled Class E airspace for
SIAPs operations at Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field),
Minneapolis, MN, and adjusting the geographic coordinates for
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to coincide with the FAA's
National Aeronautical Charting Office. The area would be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would add
additional controlled airspace to the Minneapolis, MN, airspace area.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

Airworthiness Directives; Cirrus Design Corporation Model SR22
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Cirrus Design Corporation Model SR22 airplanes equipped with an anti-
ice system approved for flight into known icing. This AD requires you
to inspect the compression fittings on the anti-ice fluid distribution
lines for proper installation and repair any fittings that were not
properly installed. This AD results from the manufacturer finding some
anti-ice fluid distribution lines where the compression fittings were
not properly installed. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
anti-ice fluid distribution lines with improperly installed compression
fittings, which could result in anti-ice fluid distribution line
separation. A line separation could result in a total loss of ice
protection fluid supply to the protected surfaces, which would allow
ice to build on the airplane and degrade the handling qualities and
performance.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on December 21, 2009.
    On December 21, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by January 28, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We were notified by Cirrus Design Corporation that, during a
quality assurance inspection test flight on a Model SR22 airplane, a
compression fitting separated from an anti-ice fluid distribution line.
They determined the root cause of this failure was improper crimping of
the fitting during fabrication. The condition is possible on other SR22
airplanes since this fabrication procedure had not changed since
approval of the flight into known icing system.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in anti-ice fluid
distribution line separation. A line separation could result in a total
loss of ice protection fluid supply to the protected surfaces, which
would allow ice to build on the airplane and degrade the handling
qualities and performance.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Cirrus SR22 Service Bulletin SB 2X-30-08, dated
November 9, 2009. The service information describes procedures for
inspecting the anti-ice fluid distribution line compression fittings
for proper installation. The service information also describes
procedures for properly installing compression fittings on the anti-ice
fluid distribution lines.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design. This AD requires
you to inspect for proper installation of compression fittings on the
anti-ice fluid distribution lines and repair any fittings that were not
properly installed.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because a
malfunction of the anti-ice system could result in a total loss of ice
protection fluid supply to the protected surfaces. This condition would
allow ice to build on the airplane and degrade the handling qualities
and performance. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity
for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that
good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30
days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and an opportunity for
public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views,
or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number ``FAA-2009-1162;
Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-066-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the AD. We will consider
all comments received by the closing date and may amend the AD in light
of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive concerning this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (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) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket that contains the AD, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and other information on the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket
Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>)
is located at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.
Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
