SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79276; File No SR-CBOE-2016-075]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Fees Schedule

November 9, 2016.
    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 November 1, 2016, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') 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

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx),
at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission's
Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. Particularly, the
Exchange proposes to amend its fees for Firm (origin codes ``F'' and
``L'') facilitation orders. The Fees Schedule currently defines
``Facilitation orders'' as any order in which a Clearing Trading Permit
Holder (``F'' origin code) or Non-Trading Permit Holder Affiliate
(``L'' origin code) is contra to any other origin code, provided the
same executing broker and clearing firm are on both sides of the
transaction (for open outcry) or both sides of a paired order (for
orders executed electronically).\3\ The Fees Schedule also provides
that for facilitation orders (other than Underlying Symbol List A (34)
excluding binary options) executed in open outcry, or electronically
via the Automated Improvement Mechanism (``AIM'') or as a Qualified
Contingent Cross order (``QCC'') or CFLEX transaction, CBOE will assess
no Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary transaction fees. The
Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule to provide that for
facilitation orders executed via AIM (i.e., AIM facilitation contra
orders), Firms would be assessed $0.05 per contract and for
facilitation orders executed as a QCC order, Firms would be assessed
$0.17 per contract. Additionally, the Exchange would amend the Clearing
Trading Permit Holder Fee Cap rate table to reflect that AIM
facilitation contra orders would now count towards the Clearing Trading
Permit Holder Fee Cap (``Fee Cap''). The Exchange notes that AIM and
QCC orders are already subject to rebates and therefore, it does not
wish to further provide free facilitation on these executions.\4\ The
Exchange also notes that other Exchanges do not waive fees for
facilitation orders that are executed through an electronic pairing
mechanism or as a QCC order.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See CBOE Fees Schedule, Footnote 11.
    \4\ See e.g., CBOE Fees Schedule, the Volume Incentive Program,
which provides credits for customer AIM orders and QCC Rate Table,
which provides $0.10 per contract credit for all transaction QCC
orders.
    \5\ See e.g., NASDAQ PHLX Pricing Schedule, Section II, Multiply
Listed Options Fees and Section IV Other Transaction Fees, PIXL
Pricing. See also, NYSE Amex Options (``Amex'') Fees Schedule,
Credits and Key Terms and Definitions and Section I, Options
Transaction Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the 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 prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and 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. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\8\ which requires that Exchange rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using
its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that assessing $0.05 per contract for Firm
facilitation orders executed via AIM (i.e., AIM facilitation contra
orders) is reasonable because it is the same amount assessed to Firms
for AIM Solicitation contra orders. The Exchange believes it is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to no longer waive
transaction fees for AIM facilitation contra orders because AIM orders
are already eligible for a rebate under the Volume Incentive Program
(``VIP''). The Exchange also notes that transaction fees for similar
facilitation transactions executed via an electronic pairing system at
other exchanges are not waived.\9\ The Exchange believes amending the
Fee Cap table to reflect that AIM facilitation contra orders would
count towards the Fee Cap is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because the Exchange will now be charging for these
transactions (whereas before they were listed as ``$0.00) and because
AIM Solicitation contra orders are also applied to the Fee Cap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See supra Note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that assessing $0.17 per contract for Firm
facilitation orders executed as a QCC order is reasonable because it is
the same amount all non-Customer orders are assessed for QCC order
executions. The Exchange believes it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to no longer waive transaction fees for QCC facilitation
contra orders because QCC orders already receive a rebate of $0.10 per
contract. The Exchange also notes that transaction fees for similar QCC
facilitation orders executed at other exchanges are not waived.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
impose any burdens on competition that are not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act because while the Exchange is
eliminating its Firm Facilitation fee waiver for AIM and QCC orders,
these orders are subject to the benefit of various rebates and will be
assessed the same amounts charged to Firms for non-facilitation AIM
contra orders and QCC orders, respectively. The Exchange does not
believe that the proposed change will cause any unnecessary burden on
intermarket competition because the proposed change only affects
trading on CBOE. To the extent that the proposed changes make CBOE a
more attractive marketplace for market participants at other exchanges,
such market participants are welcome to become CBOE market
participants.

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
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
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.

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

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as a consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

Electronic Cigarettes not  only provide me with an alternative to the known harmful and deadly cigarettes, also gave me a community to feel connected with people all around the world. I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request; National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, Subpart J AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act ( 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit the following continuing Information Collection Request ( ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB): Nation Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan   Subpart J, EPA ICR 1664.05, OMB Control Number RIN 2050   AE87, expiration date 01/ 31/ 2004. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 5, 2003. ADDRESSES: Interested persons may obtain a copy of the ICR without charge by contacting the EPA Docket Center at 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., EPA West, Suite B   102, Washington, DC 20460. The docket number for this ICR is OPA 2003   0001. The docket is contained in the EPA Docket Center and is available for inspection by appointment only, between the hours of 8: 30 a. m. and 4: 30 p. m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. You may make an appointment to view the docket by calling 202   566   0276. You may copy a maximum of 100 pages from a regulatory docket at no cost. If the number of pages exceeds 100, however, we will charge you $ 0.15 for each page after 100. The docket will mail copies to you if you are outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William `` Nick'' Nichols, ( 703) 603   9918, Facsimile Number ( 703) 603   9116, e mail: nichols. nick@ epa. gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those which manufacture, sell, distribute and/ or use oil spill dispersants, other chemicals, and other spill mitigating devices and substances that may be used in carrying out the NCP, as listed in 40 CFR 300.900 on land or waters of the United States. Title: National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, Subpart J ( NCP) ( OMB Control No. RIN 2050   AE87; EPA ICR No. 1664.05), expiring 01/ 31/ 2004. Abstract: Subpart J of the NCP allows and regulates the use of chemical and biological oil spill cleanup and control agents. The information collected is supplied by the manufacturer of such products. This information and data are then analyzed by EPA to determine the appropriateness, and under which category, the product may be listed on the NCP Product Schedule. This product data is critical for EPA to obtain in order to assure that effectiveness and toxicity data for these products is available to the oil spill community in order to use them legally and effectively. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory if EPA determines that the products specifications require its listing under subpart J ( 40 CFR 300.5 Definitions). However, manufacturers volunteer to have their product analyzed. The authority to review and use a product is 40 CFR 300.910. Confidentiality of data, ingredients, and other proprietary information for the products is maintained by EPA. Manufacturers may use any certified lab in the U. S. to test their product's effectiveness and toxicity. The cost of such tests range from $ 1,200 to $ 15,000 per test. The process to have a product listed takes at least 30 days, but no longer than 60 days, depending on the accuracy and completeness of the product information package provided to EPA by the manufacturer. Due to the technical and graphical data required to be listed, electronic submissions are not accepted. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. The EPA would like to solicit comments to: ( i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; ( ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ( iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ( iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e. g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Burden Statement: Estimated projected cost and hour burden for listing a product are between 13.4 and 40 hours at a cost ranging from under $ 3,500 to $ 16,021 depending on the product and what the lab charges the manufacturer to test the product. EPA estimates that an average of 14 product applications are submitted each year at a cost of $ 95,558 ($ 6,825 average) to manufacturers and $ 17,708 to EPA. Additional data requirements include changes to manufacturer's address, name of product, distributers, product specifications, and any other changes to the product. Changes to the product's composition may require further testing and data submission to EPA. Otherwise the cost to supply this information to EPA is a one time cost. EPA does not charge any fees to maintain records for a product nor are there any costs to update the product's file other than those mentioned above. There are no required capital, start up cost or fees required by EPA to have a product listed.

RIN 3060   AH54 Simulcasting Requirements AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Notice; temporary waiver request.

SUMMARY: This document discusses three requests filed with the Commission by various parties regarding DTV simulcasting requirements. This item grants a 6 month waiver of NCE TV stations to give them more time to comply with the requirements. This document also denies a request for suspension of the increase in minimum DTV operating hours. These actions are taken in compliance with the Commission's DTV rules. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim Matthews, Media Bureau at ( 202) 418   2154 or via Internet at Kim. matthews@ fcc. gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document is a summary of the Commission's Order, MB 03   15; DA 03   1292, adopted April 28, 2003 and released April 29, 2003. The full text of this Order is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC Reference Information Center, Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY   A257, Washington, DC 20554, and may be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, Qualex International, Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY   B402, Washington, DC 20554, telephone ( 202) 863   2893, facsimile ( 202) 863   2898, or via e mail qualexint@ aol. com or may be viewed via Internet at http:// www. fcc. gov/ mb/.

Synopsis of Order 1. The Media Bureau has received three requests related to the DTV simulcast requirements in § 73.624( f) of our rules. Noncommercial educational television stations collectively request a temporary suspension of the DTV simulcasting requirements as they apply to NCE stations. Paxson Communications Corporation (`` Paxson'') and Milwaukee Area Technical College (`` MATC'') request temporary waivers of § 73.624( f). As discussed, we grant NCE stations a sixmonth waiver of the DTV simulcast requirements. We also grant the waiver request of MATC and deny the Paxson waiver request.

Background 2. Section 73.624( f) of the Commission's rules requires DTV licensees to simulcast 50% of the video programming of their analog channel on their DTV channel by April 1, 2003. This requirement increases to a 75% simulcast requirement on April 1, 2004, and a 100% requirement on April 1, 2005. The simulcasting requirement was intended to ensure that consumers enjoy continuity of free over the air video programming service when analog spectrum is reclaimed at the end of the transition. The Commission stated that it may be difficult to terminate analog broadcast service if broadcasters show programs on their analog channels that are not available on their digital channels. 3. In the Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration (`` MO& O'') in the 1st DTV periodic review, MM 00   39 ( 66 FR 65122, December 18, 2001), the Commission allowed stations subject to the May 1, 2002, or May 1, 2003, digital construction deadlines to operate initially at a reduced schedule by providing, at a minimum, a digital signal during prime time hours, consistent with their simulcast obligations. The minimum operating hours for these digital stations effectively increases as the simulcast obligations are phased in. For example, beginning April 1, 2003, a DTV station that was required to be on the air by May 1, 2002, must provide a simulcast digital signal at least 50% of the time it transmits an analog signal and. Along with the simulcasting requirements, the minimum hours requirements step up to a 75% requirement in April 2004, and a 100% requirement in April 2005. Stations that were subject to the earlier DTV construction deadlines ( top four network affiliates in the top thirty markets) are required to operate their DTV station at any time that the analog station is operating. 4. In the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (`` NPRM'') initiating the 2nd periodic review of the transition to digital television ( 68 FR 7737, February 18, 2003), the Commission sought comment on whether it should retain, revise, or remove the simulcast requirement. The Commission asked whether broadcasters have a marketbased incentive to simulcast that makes a simulcast requirement unnecessary. The Commission also asked whether the simulcasting requirement is causing broadcasters to forego creative uses of digital technology, and if something less than the ultimate 100% simulcast requirement would be sufficient to protect analog viewers while allowing for innovation on DTV channels. The Commission also sought comment on how to define simulcasting, and whether the current dates for the phasein of simulcast requirements are appropriate. 5. NCE Television Stations. Dow, Lohnes & Albertson, Schwartz, Woods & Miller, the Public Broadcasting Service, and the Association of Public Television Stations ( collectively referred to herein as `` PBS, et al.''), on behalf of NCE TV licensees, request that the FCC temporarily suspend the DTV simulcasting requirements as they apply to NCE stations pending FCC action on the simulcasting issues in the 2nd DTV periodic review proceeding. The emergency request states that, although many NCE DTV stations will be able to transmit a digital television signal by the May 1, 2003, construction deadline, some stations do not yet have in place necessary studio transmitter links (`` STLs'') or other digital interconnection facilities between their studios and their transmitters to permit them to receive the simulcast programming feed from their studios. According to PBS, some NCE stations also do not yet have the encoding equipment that enables the station to digitize its NTSC programming for DTV broadcast. 6. We recognize that, unlike commercial licensees, the deadlines to complete construction of digital facilities and to comply with the 50% simulcasting requirement for noncommercial educational licensees were the same. PBS states that many VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 15: 59 Jul 03, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 07JYN1. SGM 07JYN1

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

Guidance Notice Clarifying Procedures for Submitting Non-Public
Materials

March 12, 2009.
    Take notice that the Commission is hereby clarifying and explaining
the importance of the procedures for submitting Non-Public material to
the Commission via paper, (DVD/CD), or electronic filing. The
procedures are designed to ensure that Non-Public information is
properly designated, identified, and processed in order to minimize the
risk of Public disclosure of sensitive information. Explained below are
the categories of materials that are considered Non-Public and the
applicable regulation that can be found in Title 18 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
    Non-public materials include:
    1. Privileged Material: Material for which Privileged Treatment is
requested under 18 CFR 388.112 because of the confidential nature of
the information.
    2. Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII): Maps,
drawings, and other information for which CEII treatment is requested
under 18 CFR 388.112 because the information may be sensitive to the
security of the nation's hydroelectric and natural gas pipeline
infrastructure.
    3. Protected Material: Material filed under a Protective Order
issued by an FERC Administrative Law Judge or the Commission, or
material for which such treatment is requested along with a draft
protective order. Protected material must be filed under seal. The
material is indexed in eLibrary; however, the actual Protected material
is not added to eLibrary because of the requirement to sign a non-
disclosure agreement for access.
    Because of the instantaneous nature of the Commission eFiling
system, it is essential that every document be processed into eLibrary
with the correct security designation. The security process for
submissions begins with the filer of non-public materials. It is
critical that documents submitted to the Commission be properly
identified and patently and conspicuously marked when such documents
are non-public materials. This helps ensure that Commission staff
identify and correctly process each category of non-public material
into eLibrary, and do so accurately and efficiently.
    In order to ensure that non-public material is processed into
eLibrary correctly, the filer must observe the following procedures for
paper filings information submitted via the Commission's electronic
filing system and information included on DVD/CD(s).

Paper Filings

    Paper filings containing non-public material must include a cover
letter identifying the filer, all applicable docket or project numbers
(unless it's a new application), a description of the filing, and a
clear indication on the first page of the cover letter that the filing
contains Public, Privileged, CEII, and/or Protected versions, as
applicable.
    Copies of a cover letter must be attached to each version, with the
security designation in bold print in the top right portion of the
first page. Use the applicable security designations ``PUBLIC
VERSION,'' ``PRIVILEGED VERSION,'' or ``CEII MATERIAL.'' The first page
of the underlying material should also contain the same designation.
Ensure that Protected Material is filed ``under seal,'' with a copy of
the cover letter attached to the sealed enclosure and ``PROTECTED
MATERIAL'' in bold print in the upper right area of the cover letter.
    Large filings should be collated according to security. Where
multiple binders are involved, the cover letter should list and clearly
identify the security of each volume.
    Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in a document
not being considered ``filed'' until issues pertaining to document
security are resolved with the submitter.

eFILING

    The Commission's electronic filing system accepts Public,
Privileged and CEII material. Protected material may not be efiled at
this time. Every electronic submission must have at least one Public
file (which may be a redacted version of the filing, or only be a cover
letter, depending on the nature of the content of the document).
    The security of efiled documents must be clear to everyone involved
in document preparation, submission, and processing of the filing. For
example, the person submitting an efiling (e.g., a paralegal) is often
someone other than the document preparer (e.g., an attorney) and could
possibly be unaware of the security designation. Moreover, submissions
may include files provided to the document preparer or submitter by
other entities. All of these individuals should be aware of what
security designation applies to the document that is being efiled.
Persons preparing documents with non-public material are advised to
organize files in folders by security level and/or with file names
beginning with PUBLIC, PRIV, or CEII. This will help to ensure that
when efiling the document submitter correctly uploads files under the
appropriate security tab on the File Upload screen. Again, the
designation of security begins with the filing party.
    Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in a document
not being considered ``filed'' until issues pertaining to document
security are resolved with the submitter.

DVD/CD Submissions

    The Commission receives numerous filings containing one or more
DVDs or CDs. The Commission, in fact, allows a reduced number of paper
copies of large filings to be submitted if the filer includes the
entire filing on DVD/CD. In other cases, the information on DVD/CD
supplements information in a paper filing, or contains only a portion
of the material on paper.
    Each paper submission that includes information on DVD/CD must
include a cover letter describing the content and security status of
each DVD/CD and indicating whether the electronic media contains the
entire filing, part of the filing, or is a supplement containing
information not submitted on paper.
    The security for all files on each DVD/CD must be clear. For all
filings, Public, Privileged, and CEII, files should be submitted on
separate, clearly-labeled DVD/CDs (i.e., should be labeled PUBLIC,
PRIVILEGED, or CEII in bold). Protected material included on electronic
media must always be on a

separately labeled DVD/CD and included with the paper material ``under
seal.''
    Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in a document
not being considered ``filed'' until issues pertaining to document
security are resolved with the submitter.
    In addition to security concerns, persons submitting information on
DVD/CD must observe the following restrictions:
    1. The acceptable file formats for information on DVD/CD are
included in the Submission Guidelines posted at: http://www.ferc.gov/
help/submission-guide/user-guide.pdf.
    2. The file size limit is 50 Mb per file. Submit maps in individual
files if necessary to comply with this limit.
    3. The file name, including the extension, cannot exceed 60
characters.

It is important that such restrictions be strictly followed, as a
failure to comply could prohibit the Commission's access to the
contents of that submission. Accordingly, the Commission reserves the
right to not accept such submissions.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2023-0002-N-5]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

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

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks approval of the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before submitting this ICR
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval, FRA is
soliciting public comment on specific aspects of the activities
identified in the ICR.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
May 23, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be submitted on regulations.gov to the docket, Docket No. FRA-
2023-0002. All comments received will be posted without change to the
docket, including any personal information provided. Please refer to
the assigned OMB control number (2130-0599) in any correspondence
submitted. FRA will summarize comments received in response to this
notice in a subsequent notice and include them in its information
collection submission to OMB for approval.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Arlette Mussington, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, at email: [email protected] or
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or Ms. Joanne Swafford, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, at email: [email protected] or
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days' notice to the public to allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB approval of the activities.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 1320.12. Specifically,
FRA invites interested parties to comment on the following ICR
regarding: (1) whether the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether
the activities will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's
estimates of the burden of the information collection activities,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for FRA to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (4) ways
for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on
the public, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
    FRA believes that soliciting public comment may reduce the
administrative and paperwork burdens associated with the collection of
information that Federal regulations mandate. In summary, FRA reasons
that comments received will advance three objectives: (1) reduce
reporting burdens; (2) organize information collection requirements in
a ``user-friendly'' format to improve the use of such information; and
(3) accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
    The summary below describes the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
    Title: System Safety Program Plan.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0599.
    Abstract: In 2020, FRA issued a final rule \1\ that requires
passenger rail operations to develop and implement a system safety
program (SSP) to improve the safety of their operations. Each passenger
rail operation has the flexibility to tailor an SSP to its specific
railroad operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 85 FR 12826 (Mar. 4, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FRA uses the information collected to help ensure that commuter and
intercity passenger rail operations establish and implement SSPs to
improve the safety of their operations and to confirm compliance with
the rule. Each railroad operation should use its SSP to proactively
identify and mitigate or eliminate hazards and the resulting risk on
its system at an early stage to reduce the number of railroad
accidents, incidents, and associated injuries, fatalities, and property
damage. A passenger rail operation has the flexibility to tailor an SSP
to its specific operations. An SSP will be implemented when FRA
approves a passenger rail operation's submitted SSP plan. Under the SSP
regulation, FRA will audit a passenger rail operation's compliance with
its SSP plan and will use the information collected to ensure
compliance with this regulation.
    In this 60-day notice, FRA has made multiple adjustments to its
estimated paperwork burden, resulting in a reduction of 388 hours, from
2,279 hours in the current inventory to 1,891 hours in the requested
inventory. The primary reason for the reduction in the estimated
paperwork burden is the expected decrease in the number of responses.
Specifically, all passenger rail operations currently subject to the
regulation have already submitted their SSP plans, leading to a
decrease in the overall PRA burden. This reduction in submissions,
reduced by 427 hours, has significantly contributed to the overall
decrease in the estimated paperwork burden hours in the requested
inventory. FRA has uploaded a table on regulations.gov under Docket No.
FRA-2023-0002, which displays all the burden adjustments.
    Type of Request: Extension without change (with changes in
estimates) of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Form(s): N/A.
    Respondent Universe: 33 passenger rail operations + 1 new passenger

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing
that we have filed a petition, submitted by Australian Laboratory
Services, PTY LTD., on behalf of Piotrovska, PTY LTD., proposing that
the color additive regulations be amended to expand the permitted uses
of synthetic iron oxide as a color additive to include use in edible
decorative paint.

DATES: The color additive petition was filed on June 28, 2021.

ADDRESSES: For access to the docket to read background documents or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (section 721(d)(1) (21 U.S.C. 379e(d)(1))), we are giving notice
that we have filed a color additive petition (CAP 1C0321), submitted by
Australian Laboratory Services, PTY LTD., on behalf of Piotrovska, PTY
LTD., Australian Laboratory Services, PTY LTD., 2-8 South Street Unit
10, Rydalmere, NSW, 2116, Australia. The

petition proposes to amend the color additive regulations at 21 CFR
73.200, a color additive regulation in 21 CFR part 73, ``Listing of
Color Additives Exempt From Certification'') by expanding the permitted
uses of synthetic iron oxide as a color additive to include use in
edible decorative paint.
    The petitioner has claimed that this action is categorically
excluded under 21 CFR 25.32(k) because the substance is intended to
remain in food through ingestion by consumers and is not intended to
replace macronutrients in food. In addition, the petitioner has stated
that, to their knowledge, no extraordinary circumstances exist that
would warrant an environmental assessment (see 21 CFR 25.21). If FDA
determines a categorical exclusion applies, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. If FDA
determines a categorical exclusion does not apply, we will request an
environmental assessment and make it available for public inspection.

    Dated: August 13, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health
invites interested individuals to submit nominations for membership on
NACOSH.
    NACOSH is authorized by section 7(a) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 656) to advise the Secretary of
Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human Services on matters
relating to the administration of the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing
advisory body and operates in compliance with provisions in the OSH
Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.), and
regulations issued pursuant to those laws (29 CFR 1912a, 41 CFR part
102-3).

NACOSH Membership

    NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary of
Labor appoints. Nominations will be accepted for five positions (29 CFR
1912a.2). The composition of the committee and categories of new
members to be appointed are as follows:
     Four public representatives--Two will be appointed;
     Two management representatives--One will be appointed;
     Two labor representatives;
     Two occupational safety professional representatives--One
will be appointed; and,
     Two occupational health professional representatives--One
will be appointed.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 1912a.2, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) designates one of the public representatives and the
representative from the occupational health professions for appointment
by the Secretary of Labor. OSHA will provide to HHS all nominations and
supporting materials for those membership categories.
    NACOSH members serve staggered two-year terms, unless they become
unable to serve, resign, cease to be qualified to serve or is removed
by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy occurs before a term expires,
the Secretary may appoint for the remainder of the unexpired term a new
member who represents the same interest as the predecessor. NACOSH
members may be appointed to successive terms. The committee meets at
least two times a year (29 CFR 1912a.4).
    Any interested person or organization may nominate one or more
qualified persons for membership. Nominations must include the
following information:
     The nominee's contact information and current occupation
or position;
     The nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, including prior
membership on NACOSH or other OSHA advisory committees or other
