[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003]

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed below. These modified BFEs will be
used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.

DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are indicated on the
following table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect for the listed communities prior to this date.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below of the modified BFEs
for each community listed. These modified BFEs have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since
that publication. The Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this final rule includes the address of the Chief Executive
Officer of the community where the modified BFE determinations are
available for inspection.
    The modified BFEs are made pursuant to section 206 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management
criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
    These modified BFEs are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these
elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. The
changes in BFEs are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This final rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been
prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This final rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-90891; File No. SR-NYSE-2021-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend its Price List To Extend a Waiver of New Firm Application Fees
for Certain Applications and of Bond Trading License Fees

January 11, 2021.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on January 4, 2021, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''
or the ``Exchange'') 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to (1) extend a fee
waiver for new firm application fees for applicants seeking only to
obtain a bond trading license (``BTL'') for 2021; and (2) waive the BTL
fee for 2021. The Exchange proposes to implement the fee changes
effective January 4, 2021. The proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's website at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Price List to (1) extend a fee
waiver for new firm application fees for applicants seeking only to
obtain a BTL for 2021; and (2) waive the BTL fee for 2021.\4\ The
Exchange proposes to implement the fee changes effective January 4,
2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange initially filed to adopt the fee waiver and
waive the BTL fee in 2015. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
74031 (January 12, 2015), 80 FR 2462 (January 16, 2015) (SR-NYSE-
2014-78). The Exchange has filed to extend the fee waiver and waive
the BTL fee for each calendar year since 2017. See Securities
Exchange Act Release Nos. 79710 (December 29, 2016), 82 FR 1395
(January 5, 2017) (SR-NYSE-2016-89); 82418 (December 28, 2017), 83
FR 568 (January 4, 2018) (SR-NYSE-2017-70); 84899 (December 20,
2018), 83 FR 67395 (December 28, 2018) (SR-NYSE-2018-65); and 87952
(January 13, 2020), 85 FR 3089 (January 17, 2020) (SR-NYSE-2019-73).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange currently charges a New Firm Fee ranging from $2,500
to $20,000, depending on the type of firm, which is charged per
application for any broker-dealer that applies to be approved as an
Exchange member organization. The Exchange proposes to amend the Price
List to waive the New Firm Fee for 2021 for new member organization
applicants that are seeking only to obtain a BTL and not trade equities
at the Exchange. The proposed waiver of the New Firm Fee would be
available only to applicants seeking approval as a new member
organization, including carrying firms, introducing firms, or non-
public organizations, which would be seeking to obtain a BTL at the
Exchange and not trade equities. Further, if a new firm that is
approved as a member organization and has had the New Firm Fee waived
converts a BTL to a full trading license within one year of approval,
the New Firm Fee would be charged in full retroactively. The Exchange
believes that charging the New Firm Fee retroactively within a year of
approval is appropriate because it would discourage applicants to claim
that they are applying for a BTL solely to avoid New Firm Fees.
    Additionally, the Exchange currently charges a BTL fee of $1,000
per year. The Exchange proposes to amend the

Price List to waive the BTL fee for 2021 for all member organizations.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed fee changes would provide
increased incentives for bond trading firms that are not currently
Exchange member organizations to apply for Exchange membership and a
BTL. The Exchange believes that having more member organizations
trading on the Exchange's bond platform would benefit investors through
the additional display of liquidity and increased execution
opportunities in Exchange-traded bonds at the Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in
particular, because it provides for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members, issuers and
other persons using its facilities and does not unfairly discriminate
between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to waive the New Firm
Fee and the annual BTL fee for 2021 to provide an incentive for bond
trading firms to apply for Exchange membership and a BTL. The Exchange
believes that providing an incentive for bond trading firms that are
not currently Exchange member organizations to apply for membership and
a BTL would encourage market participants to become members of the
Exchange and bring additional liquidity to a transparent bond market.
To the extent the existing New Firm Fees or the BTL fee serves as a
disincentive for bond trading firms to become Exchange member
organizations, the Exchange believes that the proposed fee change could
expand the number of firms eligible to trade bonds on the Exchange. The
Exchange believes creating incentives for bond trading firms to trade
bonds on the Exchange protects investors and the public interest by
increasing the competition and liquidity on a transparent market for
bond trading. The proposed waiver of the New Firm Fee and BTL fee is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it would be offered
to all market participants that wish to trade at the Exchange the
narrower class of debt securities only.

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\7\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change would not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. Debt securities typically trade in a decentralized
over-the-counter (``OTC'') dealer market that is less liquid and
transparent than the equities markets. The Exchange believes that the
proposed change would increase competition with these OTC venues by
reducing the cost of being approved as and operating as an Exchange
member organization that solely trades bonds at the Exchange, which the
Exchange believes will enhance market quality through the additional
display of liquidity and increased execution opportunities in Exchange-
traded bonds at the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive market
in which market participants can readily favor competing venues that
are not transparent. In such an environment, the Exchange must
continually review, and consider adjusting its fees and rebates to
remain competitive with other exchanges as well as with alternative
trading systems and other venues that are not required to comply with
the statutory standards applicable to exchanges. Because competitors
are free to modify their own fees and credits in response, and because
market participants may readily adjust their order routing practices,
the Exchange believes that the degree to which fee changes in this
market may impose any burden on competition is extremely limited. As a
result of all of these considerations, the Exchange does not believe
that the proposed change will impair the ability of member
organizations or competing order execution venues to maintain their
competitive standing in the financial markets.

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

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

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-
4 \9\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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 shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \10\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0330; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-116-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B
Airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports indicating that
wear of the elevator pushrods have occurred on some airplanes after
extended time in service. This proposed AD would require determining if
a certain part number is installed, performing a detailed inspection
for individual play between the elevator pushrod assembly and
degradation of elevator pushrod assembly, and replacing the affected
elevator pushrod assembly with a new elevator pushrod assembly if
necessary. We are proposing this AD to prevent a free elevator from
affecting the pitch control authority, which may result in reduced
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 17, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2011-0078, dated May 5, 2011 (referred to after
this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Field experience has indicated that wear of the elevator pushrod
has occurred on some aeroplanes after extended time in service.
Although properly installed, the locknut has been able to back off
within a limited range, leading to degradation of the pushrod which
causes backlash in between the rod end threads.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, may lead to a
free elevator affecting the pitch control authority, possibly
resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, SAAB AB Aeronautics have
issued Service Bulletin (SB) 340-27-100, accomplishment of which
will reduce the probability for backlash and minimize the
possibility of failure in the pitch control system.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
identification of the pushrod assembly Part Number (P/N) as
installed on the aeroplane, replacement of P/N TDF11755 pushrod
assemblies, inspection of P/N 12003-33 and P/N R20990 elevator
pushrod assemblies [for individual play between the elevator pushrod
assembly and degradation of elevator pushrod assembly] and
corrective actions [replacement], depending on findings.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems has issued Saab Service Bulletin 340-27-
100, dated February 1, 2011. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 162 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 1 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $13,770, or $85 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 7 work-hours and require parts costing $1,588 for a cost of
$2,183 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
products that may need these actions.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Adjusting for Covariates in Randomized Clinical Trials for
Drugs and Biologics with Continuous Outcomes.'' This guidance provides
recommendations for the use of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in
randomized clinical trials.
    The target population for a new drug or biologic usually includes
individuals with diverse prognostic factors, and the population studied
in clinical trials should reflect this diversity. However, baseline
differences in prognostic factors impair the detection and estimation
of treatment effects. Incorporating prognostic factors in the
statistical analysis of clinical trial data can mitigate this
impairment and can result in a more efficient use of data to
demonstrate and quantify the effects of treatment. The International
Council for Harmonisation guidance for industry entitled ``E9
Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials'' briefly addresses these
issues (https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm073137.pdf). This
guidance provides more detailed recommendations for the use of ANCOVA
in randomized clinical trials.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ``Adjusting
for Covariates in Randomized Clinical Trials for Drugs and Biologics
with Continuous Outcomes.'' It does not establish any rights for any
person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive
Order 12866.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR 312.23 for investigational new
drug application content and format have been approved under OMB
control number 0910-0014.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the draft guidance
at https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm, https://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm, or

I. General Description of the Committee Duties

    The Committee provides relevant skills and perspectives in order to
improve communication of benefits, risks, and clinical outcomes, and
increase integration of patient perspectives into the regulatory
process for medical devices. It performs its duties by identifying new
approaches, promoting innovation, recognizing unforeseen risks or
barriers, and identifying unintended consequences that could result
from FDA policy. The Committee provides advice on complex scientific
issues relating to medical devices, the regulation of devices, and
their use by patients. Agency guidance and policies, clinical trial or
registry design, patient preference study design, benefit-risk
determinations, device labeling, unmet clinical needs, available
alternatives, patient reported outcomes, and device-related quality of
life measure or health status issues are among the topics that may be
considered by the Committee. Members are knowledgeable in areas such as
clinical research, primary care patient experience, healthcare needs of
patient groups in the United States, or are experienced in the work of
patient and health professional organizations, methodologies for
eliciting patient preferences, and strategies for communicating
benefits, risks, and clinical outcomes to patients and research
subjects.

II. Criteria for Voting Members

    The Committee consists of a core of nine voting members, including
the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner of
Food and Drugs or designee from among authorities who are knowledgeable
in areas such as clinical research, patient experience, healthcare
needs of patient groups in the United States, or are experienced in the
work of patient and health professional organizations, scientific
methodologies for patient-reported outcomes and eliciting patient
preferences, and strategies for communicating benefits, risks, and
clinical outcomes to patients and research subjects.
    Members will be invited to serve for overlapping terms of up to 4
years. Prospective members should also have

an understanding of the broad spectrum of patients in a particular
disease area. Almost all non-Federal members of this Committee serve as
Special Government Employees, with the exception of the representatives
from Industry.

III. Nomination Procedures

    Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified
individuals for membership on the Committee. Self-nominations are also
accepted. Nominations must include a cover letter; a current, complete
resume or curriculum vitae for each nominee, including current business
and/or home address, telephone number, and email address, if available;
and a signed copy of the Acknowledgement and Consent form available at
the FDA Advisory Nomination Portal (see ADDRESSES). Nominations must
specify the advisory committee for which the nominee is recommended.
    Nominations must also acknowledge that the nominee is aware of the
nomination unless self-nominated. FDA will ask potential candidates to
provide detailed information concerning such matters related to
financial holdings, employment, and research grants and/or contracts to
permit evaluation of possible sources of conflicts of interest.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to advisory committees.
