SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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
the 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 expand the availability of RNAV in Alaska and
improve the efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace
System (NAS) by lessening the dependency on ground based navigation.

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

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    In 2003, Congress enacted the Vision 100-Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 108-176), which established a joint
planning and development office in the FAA to manage the work related
to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Today,
NextGen is an ongoing FAA-led modernization of the nation's air
transportation system to make flying safer, more efficient, and more
predictable.
    In support of NextGen, this proposal is part of a larger and
comprehensive T-route modernization project in the state of Alaska. The
project mission statement states: ``To modernize Alaska's Air Traffic
Service route structure using satellite based navigation Development of
new T-routes and optimization of existing T-routes will enhance safety,
increase efficiency and access, and will provide en route continuity
that is not subject to the restrictions associated with ground based
airway navigation.'' As part of this project, the FAA evaluated the
existing Colored Airway structure for: (a) Direct replacement (i.e.,
overlay) with a T-route that offers a similar or lower Minimum En route
Altitude (MEA) or Global Navigation Satellite System Minimum En route
Altitude (GNSS MEA); (b) the replacement of the colored airway with a
T-route in an optimized but similar geographic area, while retaining
similar or lower MEA; or (c) removal with no route structure (T-route)
restored in that area because the value was determined to be
insignificant.
    The aviation industry/users have indicated a desire for the FAA to
transition the Alaskan en route navigation structure away from
dependency on Non-Directional Beacons (NDB), and move to develop and
improve the RNAV route structure. The FAA proposes to amend RNAV route
T-269 by re-routing the segment of the airway between the Yakutat, AK,
(YAK) VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)
to the Johnstone Point, AK, (JOH) VOR/DME by altering the segment in
order to allow for a lower GNSS MEA along the route while ensuring
continuous two-way VHF communications. The amended portion would
include six new waypoints (WP), OXIDS; FOGNU; HORGI; ZIXIM; JOVOM; and
OXUGE. Adding these new WPs would cause the MALAS, AK, WP to become a
turn point, so it will be included in the legal description. Finally,
the FAA proposes to remove six WPs, (TURTY; HAPIT; CENTA; YONEK; VEILL;
and VIDDA), two navigational aids (Sparrevohn, AK, (SQA); and Bethel,
AK, (BET)), and one Fix (FLIPS, AK, Fix) from the legal description,
since they are not turn points on straight segments of the route. These
points will still be depicted on the sectional chart, so it will be
transparent to pilots.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV
route T-269 in the vicinity of Yakutat, AK in support of a large and
comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska.
The proposed route is described below.
    T-269: The FAA proposes to amend T-269 between the Yakutat, AK,
(YAK) VOR/DME and the Johnstone Point, AK, (JOH) VOR/DME by including
six new WPs on the segment in order to allow for a lower GNSS MEA in
those areas. The proposal will also correct the legal description to
remove points where there is no turn along the route.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV listed in this document would be published subsequently in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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
Department of Transportation (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 proposed 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.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

* * * * *
Chapter VI Trading Systems
Sec. 1 Definitions
    The following definitions apply to Chapter VI for the trading of
options listed on NOM.
    (a)-(d) No change.
    (e) The term ``Order Type'' shall mean the unique processing
prescribed for designated orders that are eligible for entry into the
System, and shall include:
    (1)-(7) No Change.
    (8) ``Additional Exposure Orders'' are orders that are priced at
the National Best Offer, for buys, and the National Best Bid, for
sells. The order is exposed on the System Book Feed for a time
determined by the Exchange, not to exceed one second. At the end of the
exposure period, if still unexecuted, the order will be routed to the
market(s) at the NBBO, cancelled back to the entering party, or posted
on the book pursuant to Section 7 of Chapter VI.
    Any update to the NBBO that improves the exposed order price will
cause an immediate end to the exposure period. Any unexecuted portion
of the order will be routed to the market(s) at the NBBO, cancelled
back to the entering party or posted on the book pursuant to Section 7
of Chapter VI.
    Any update to the NBBO that unlocks the exposed order price will
cause an immediate end to the exposure period. Any unexecuted portion
of the order will be executed against contra interest on the book,
routed to the market(s) at the NBBO, cancelled back to the entering
party or posted on the book pursuant to Section 7 of Chapter VI.
* * * * *
Sec. 6 Acceptance of Quotes and Orders
    All bids or offers made and accepted on NOM in accordance with the
NOM Rules shall constitute binding contracts, subject to applicable
requirements of the Rules of the Exchange and the Rules of the Clearing
Corporation.
    (a) General--A System order is an order that is entered into the
System for display and/or execution as appropriate. Such orders are
executable against marketable contra-side orders in the System.
    (1) All System Orders shall indicate limit price and whether they
are a call or put and buy or sell. Systems Orders can be designated as
Immediate or Cancel (``IOC''), Good-till-Cancelled (``GTC''), Day
(``DAY''), WAIT or Expire Time (``EXPR'').
    (2) A System order may also be designated as a Reserve Order, a
Limit Order, a Minimum Quantity Order, a Discretionary Order, a Market
Order, a Price Improving Order, [or] an Exchange

Direct Order, or an Additional Exposure Order.
* * * * *
Sec. 11 Order Routing
    (a) For System securities, the order routing process shall be
available to Participants from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time until market
close, and shall route orders as follows. Participants can designate
orders as either available for routing or not available for routing.
Orders designated as not available for routing shall follow the book
processing rules set forth in Section 10 above. Orders designated as
available for routing, will first check the System for available
contracts for execution. After checking the System for available
contracts, orders are sent to other available market centers for
potential execution, per entering firm's instructions. When checking
the book, the System will seek to execute at the price at which it
would send the order to a destination market center. Orders designated
as Additional Exposure Orders, as defined in Chapter VI, Section 1,
will be exposed on the System Book Feed prior to routing to other
markets. If contracts remain un-executed after routing, they are posted
on the book. Once on the book, should the order subsequently be locked
or crossed by another market center, the System will not route the
order to the locking or crossing market center. With the exception of
the Minimum Quantity order type, all time-in-force parameters and order
types may be used in conjunction with this routing option.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, Nasdaq 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. Nasdaq 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
    Nasdaq is proposing to change the NOM rules in order to provide
marketable orders an additional opportunity for execution on the NOM
when NOM is not part of the NBBO. Currently, if an order that is
marketable against the NBBO is received, it is matched against any
possible contra side orders available in the Trading System. If the
order is still unexecuted, or if only partially unexecuted, the order
is then routed away to the market or markets at the NBBO, cancelled
back to the entering party or posted on the NOM Book and displayed at a
non-locking price according to the instructions on the order.
    The proposed rule change will provide for the NOM System to expose
the order, at the NBBO price, to subscribers of a data feed for System
securities (``System Book Feed''), for a brief period of time (the
``exposure period'') not to exceed one second. All Members have the
opportunity to respond to any order exposed or displayed on the System
Book Feed.
    Participants may designate orders to be Additional Exposure Orders
using a notation on the order message submitted to the Exchange.
Additional Exposure Orders will be exposed at a price equal to the
National Best Offer, if a buy, or the National Best Bid, if a sell.
During the exposure period, the Additional Exposure Order will be
treated as a Limit Order (as defined in Chapter VI, Section 1(e)(2))
for book processing purposes. Specifically, during the exposure period,
orders and quotes that are equal to the NBBO and on the opposite side
of the market will be matched against the exposed order and immediately
executed as they are received. Orders and quotes that are better than
the NBBO and on the opposite side of the market will also be matched
against the exposed order, and immediately executed as they are
received at the price of the exposed order as per Chapter VI, Section
10(1) and (3) of the NOM rules. If the order is still unexecuted, or if
only partially unexecuted, it will be routed to the market(s) at the
NBBO, cancelled back to the entering party or posted on the NOM Book
and displayed at a non-locking price as per the instructions of the
order.
    Any update to the NBBO during the exposure period that unlocks the
exposed order will cause the exposure period to terminate, and any
unexecuted portion of the order will either be (i) executed against
contra interest on the NOM book; (ii) immediately routed to the new
NBBO market(s); (iii) cancelled if the order is marked as a Do Not
Route order and there is no contra interest available; or (iv) the
order will be posted on the NOM book for possible display and/or
execution pursuant to Section 7 of Chapter VI if the order is marked as
a Do Not Route order and has a Time In Force other than IOC.
    Conversely, an update to the NBBO that crosses the exposed price
will also bring the exposure period to an immediate end, and any
unexecuted portion of the order will either be routed away, cancelled
or posted on the NOM book pursuant to Section 7 of Chapter VI.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For example, with regard to posting on the NOM book, if the
order was a non-routable order and CBOE's offer (see Example 1)
updated to 3.10, the exposure period would terminate, and the non-
routable order would then be posted on the NOM book at a price of
3.10 and displayed at 3.05.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example 1

    NOM market 3.00-3.30.
    CBOE market (NBBO) 3.00-3.20.
    NOM receives an order to Buy paying 3.30. The order is exposed for
one second at a price of 3.20 prior to routing to CBOE.
    200 milliseconds after the start of the exposure, CBOE offer moves
to 3.30. The exposure period terminates, and the order is executed
against the NOM 3.30 offer, and if not fully executed, routed to the
CBOE offer at 3.30, cancelled or posted on the NOM book depending on
the instructions on the order.

Example 2

    NOM 3.00-3.30.
    CBOE market (NBBO) 3.00-3.20.
    NOM receives an order to Buy paying 3.30. The order is exposed for
one second prior to routing to CBOE.
    200 milliseconds after the start of the exposure period, ISE posts
an offer at 3.10. Again, the exposure period terminates, and if the
order is designated for routing, the order is immediately routed to the
ISE to trade against the 3.10 offer, otherwise the order is cancelled
or posted in accordance with Chapter VI, Section 7(b)(3)(C) (``Trade-
Through Compliance and Locked or Crossed Markets'').
    NOM Users who do not wish to have an order exposed have the ability
to designate their order accordingly, in which case the order will be
executed against contra interest on the NOM book, immediately routed to
other markets at the NBBO, posted on the NOM book at a non-locking
price in accordance with Chapter VI, Section 7(b)(3)(C) or cancelled
depending on the instructions on the order. Users who wish to avoid
both exposure and routing may do so by using an order designation that
indicates to the Exchange that the order should not be exposed and
marking the order as Do Not Route.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b)

of the Act \5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest.
The Exchange believes that it will provide greater opportunities for
investors to receive executions on the NOM System so as to enhance the
efficiency of order handling, and also provides Users the opportunity
to match prices at other markets.

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

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

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Because the proposed rule change: (i) Does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not
impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). Pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
under the Act, the Exchange is required to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has met this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \9\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \10\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Exchange asserts that waiver of the operative delay is appropriate in
order to allow the Exchange to remain competitive with other options
exchanges, which have a substantially similar functionality to that
being proposed.\11\ On this basis, the Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest and designates that the proposed rule
change become operative immediately.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \11\ See Item 7 of SR-NASDAQ-2009-066. See e.g., Boston Options
Exchange Rules Chapter V, Sec. 16(b)(iii), Chicago Board Options
Exchange Rule 6.14, and NYSE Arca Rule 6.76A.
    \12\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate the 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.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

availability of a guidance for industry entitled ``Allowable Excess
Volume and Labeled Vial Fill Size in Injectable Drug and Biological
Products.'' It replaces the draft of the same name that was published

402-7911.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Allowable Excess Volume and Labeled Vial Fill Size in
Injectable Drug and Biological Products.'' This guidance replaces the
draft guidance of the same name that published in the Federal Register
of March 14, 2014 (79 FR 14517). FDA is concerned that injectable vial
misuse, including unsafe handling and injection techniques, has led to
an increase in vial contamination and an increased risk of bloodborne
illness transmission between patients. This guidance clarifies the FDA
requirements and regulations pertaining to allowable excess volume in
injectable vials and describes when justification is needed for a
proposed excess volume in an injectable drug or biological product.
This guidance also discusses the importance of appropriate fill volume
and recommends that labeled vial fill sizes be appropriate for the use
and dosing of the drug and biological product.
    In the Federal Register of March 14, 2014 (79 FR 14517), a draft
guidance was published entitled ``Draft Guidance for Industry on
Allowable Excess Volume and Labeled Vial Fill Size in Injectable Drug
and Biological Products; Availability.'' We have carefully reviewed and
considered the comments that were received on the draft guidance and
have made changes for clarification.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on allowable excess fill volume and labeled
vial fill size for injectable drug and biological products packaged in
vials and ampules. 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.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that 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 parts 312 and 314 have
been approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0014 and 0910-0001,
respectively.

III. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
