Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
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 these statement may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend the Rule
Series 11.600, the Compliance Rule regarding the CAT NMS Plan, to be
consistent with an amendment to the CAT NMS Plan recently approved by
the Commission.\6\ The Commission approved an amendment to the CAT NMS
Plan to amend the requirements for Firm Designated IDs in four ways:
(1) To prohibit the use of account numbers as Firm Designated IDs for
trading accounts that are not proprietary accounts; (2) to require that
the Firm Designated ID for a trading account be persistent over time
for each Industry Member so that a single account may be tracked across
time within a single Industry Member; (3) to permit the use of
relationship identifiers as Firm Designated IDs in certain
circumstances; and (4) to permit the use of entity identifiers as Firm
Designated IDs in certain circumstances (the ``FDID Amendment''). As a
result, the Exchange proposes to amend the definition of ``Firm
Designated ID'' in Rule 11.610 to reflect the changes to the CAT NMS
Plan regarding the requirements for Firm Designated IDs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 89397 (July 24, 2020)
(Federal Register pending).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 11.610(r) defines the term ``Firm Designated ID'' to mean ``a
unique identifier for each trading account designated by Industry
Members for purposes of providing data to the Central Repository, where
each such identifier is unique among all identifiers from any given
Industry Member for each business date.''
(1) Prohibit Use of Account Numbers
    The Exchange proposes to amend the definition of ``Firm Designated
ID'' in Rule 11.610(r) to provide that Industry Members may not use
account numbers as the Firm Designated ID for trading accounts that are
not proprietary accounts. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to add
the following to the definition of a Firm Designated ID: ``Provided,
however, such identifier may not be the account number for such trading
account if the trading account is not a proprietary account.''
(2) Persistent Firm Designated ID
    The Exchange also proposes to amend the definition of ``Firm
Designated ID'' in Rule 11.610(r) to require a Firm Designated ID
assigned by an Industry Member to a trading account to be persistent
over time, not for each business day.\7\ To effect this change, the
Exchange proposes to amend the definition of ``Firm Designated ID'' in
Rule 11.610(r) to add ``and persistent'' after ``unique'' and delete
``for each business date'' so that the definition of ``Firm Designated
ID'' would read, in relevant part, as follows: ``A unique and
persistent identifier for each trading account designated by Industry
Members for purposes of providing data to the Central Repository . . .
where each such identifier is unique among all identifiers from any
given Industry Member.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ If an Industry Member assigns a new account number or entity
identifier to a client or customer due to a merger, acquisition or
some other corporate action, then the Industry Member should create
a new Firm Designated ID to identify the new account identifier/
relationship identifier/entity identifier in use at the Industry
Member for the entity. In addition, if a previously assigned Firm
Designated ID is no longer in use by an Industry Member (e.g., if
the trading account associated with the Firm Designated ID has been
closed), then an Industry Member may reuse the Firm Designated ID
for another trading account. The Plan Processor will maintain a
history of the use of each Firm Designated ID, including, for
example, the effective dates of the Firm Designated ID with respect
to each associated trading account.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) Relationship Identifiers
    The FDID Amendment also permits an Industry Member to provide a
relationship identifier as the Firm Designated ID, rather than an
identifier that represents a trading account, in certain scenarios in
which an Industry Member does not have an account number available to
its order handling and/or execution system at the time of order receipt
(e.g., certain institutional accounts, managed accounts, accounts for
individuals). In such scenarios, the trading account structure may not
be available when a new order is first received from a client and,
instead, only

an identifier representing the client's trading relationship is
available. In these limited instances, the Industry Member may provide
an identifier used by the Industry Member to represent the client's
trading relationship with the Industry Member instead of an account
number.
    When a trading relationship is established at a broker-dealer for
clients, the broker-dealer typically creates a parent account, under
which additional subaccounts are created. However, in some cases, the
broker-dealer establishes the parent relationship for a client using a
relationship identifier as opposed to an actual parent account. The
relationship identifier could be any of a variety of identifiers, such
as a short name for a relevant individual or institution. This
relationship identifier is established prior to any trading for the
client. If a relationship identifier has been established rather than a
parent account, and an order is placed on behalf of the client, any
executed trades will be kept in a firm account (e.g., a facilitation or
average price account) until they are allocated to the proper
subaccount(s), i.e., the accounts associated with the parent
relationship identifier connecting them to the client.
    Relationship identifiers are used in circumstances in which the
account structure is not available to the trading system at the time of
order placement. The clients have established accounts prior to the
trade that satisfy relevant regulatory obligations for opening
accounts, such as Know Your Customer and other customer obligations.
However, the order receipt workflows operate using relationship
identifiers, not accounts.
    For Firm Designated ID purposes, as with an identifier for a
trading account, the relationship identifier must be persistent over
time. The relationship identifier also must be unique among all
identifiers from any given Industry Member. With these requirements, a
single relationship could be tracked across time within a single
Industry Member using the Firm Designated ID. In addition, the
relationship identifier must be masked as the relationship identifier
could be a name or otherwise provide an indication as to the identity
of the relationship. The masking requirement would avoid potentially
revealing the identity of the relationship.
    An example of the use of a relationship identifier as a Firm
Designated ID would be as follows: Suppose that Big Fund Manager is
known in Industry Member A's systems as ``BFM1.'' When an order is
placed by Big Fund Manager, the order is tagged to BFM1. Industry
Member A could use a masked version of BFM1 in place of the Firm
Designated ID representing a trading account when reporting a new order
from Big Fund Manager instead of the account numbers to which executed
shares/contracts will be allocated at a later time via a booking or
other system. Similarly, another example of the use of a relationship
identifier as a Firm Designated ID would involve an individual in place
of the Big Fund Manager in the above example.
    In accordance with the FDID Amendment, the Exchange proposes to
amend the definition of a ``Firm Designated ID'' in Rule 11.610(r) to
permit Industry Members to provide a relationship identifier as the
Firm Designated ID as described above. Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to amend the definition of ``Firm Designated ID'' in Rule
11.610(r) to state that a Firm Designated ID means, in relevant part,
``a unique and persistent relationship identifier when an Industry
Member does not have an account number available to its order handling
and/or execution system at the time of order receipt, provided,
however, such identifier must be masked.''
(4) Entity Identifiers
    The FDID Amendment also permits Industry Members to provide an
entity identifier, rather than an identifier that represents a trading
account, when an employee of the Industry Member is exercising
discretion over multiple client accounts and creates an aggregated
order for which a trading account number of the Industry Member is not
available at the time of order origination. An entity identifier is an
identifier of the Industry Member that represents the firm
discretionary relationship with the client rather than a firm trading
account.
    The scenarios in which a firm uses an entity identifier are
comparable to when a firm uses a relationship identifier (as described
above) except the entity identifier represents the Industry Member
rather than a client. As with relationship identifiers, entity
identifiers are used in circumstances in which the account structure is
not available to the trading system at the time of order placement. In
this workflow, the Industry Member's order handling and/execution
system does not have an account number at the time of order
origination. The relevant clients that will receive an allocation of
the execution have established accounts prior to the trade that satisfy
relevant regulatory obligations for opening accounts, such as Know Your
Customer and other customer obligations. However, the order origination
workflows operate using entity identifiers, not accounts.
    For Firm Designated ID purposes, as with the identifier for a
trading account or a relationship, the entity identifier must be
persistent over time. The entity identifier also must be unique among
all identifiers from any given Industry Member. Each Industry Member
must make its own risk determination as to whether it believes it is
necessary to mask the entity identifier when using an entity identifier
to report the Firm Designated ID to CAT.
    An example of the use of an entity identifier as a Firm Designated
ID would be when Industry Member 1 has an employee that is a registered
representative that has discretion over several client accounts held at
Industry Member 1. The registered representative places an order that
he will later allocate to individual client accounts. At the time the
order is placed, the trading system only knows it involves a
representative of Industry Member 1 and it does not have a specific
trading account that could be used for Firm Designated ID reporting.
Therefore, Industry Member 1 could report IM1, its entity identifier,
as the FDID with the new order.
    In accordance with the FDID Amendment, the Exchange proposes to
amend the definition of ``Firm Designated ID'' in Rule 11.610(r) to
permit the use of an entity identifier as a Firm Designated ID as
described above. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend the
definition of a ``Firm Designated ID'' in Rule 11.610(r) to state that
a Firm Designated ID means, in relevant part, ``a unique and persistent
entity identifier when an employee of an Industry Member is exercising
discretion over multiple client accounts and creates an aggregated
order for which a trading account number of the Industry Member is not
available at the time of order origination.''
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ which require,
among other things, that the Exchange'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, and Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\9\
which requires that the Exchange's rules not

impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(6).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that this proposal is consistent with the Act
because it is consistent with, and implements, a recent amendment to
the CAT NMS Plan, and is designed to assist the Exchange and its
Industry Members in meeting regulatory obligations pursuant to the
Plan. In approving the Plan, the SEC noted that the Plan ``is necessary
and appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors
and the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to remove impediments
to, and perfect the mechanism of a national market system, or is
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.'' \10\ To the
extent that this proposal implements the Plan, and applies specific
requirements to Industry Members, the Exchange believes that this
proposal furthers the objectives of the Plan, as identified by the SEC,
and is therefore consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79318 (November 15,
2016), 81 FR 84696, 84697 (November 23, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange 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. The Exchange
notes that the proposed rule changes are consistent with a recent
amendment to the CAT NMS Plan, and are designed to assist the Exchange
in meeting its regulatory obligations pursuant to the Plan. The
Exchange also notes that the FDID Amendment will apply equally to all
Industry Members that trade NMS Securities and OTC Equity Securities.
In addition, all national securities exchanges and FINRA are proposing
this amendment to their Compliance Rules. Therefore, this is not a
competitive rule filing, and, therefore, it does not impose a burden on
competition.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, 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 \13\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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 satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \15\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\16\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative by July 31, 2020. The Commission believes that
waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest because it implements an amendment
to the CAT NMS Plan approved by the Commission.\17\ Accordingly, the
Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the
proposal operative as of July 31, 2020.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \17\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 89397 (July 24,
2020) (Federal Register publication pending).
    \18\ For 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 this 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.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

 MEMO

  FORMTEXT  Environment & Resources Division

Date	July 19, 2007

To	Bill Silagi, EPA

From	Dave Mancinelli and Penny Schafer

Subject	LRRP Rule – Summary of calls to seven school districts –
Cleaning and maintenance activities

This memo summarizes calls placed to seven school district offices for
the purpose of collecting information on cleaning methods used in
pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade classrooms by custodial
and maintenance staff.  We selected school districts based on student
population and location within the country; contacted school districts
differ in student membership size and state EPA region.  This method
ensured that survey results would represent school districts of varying
characteristics.

Results Summary

Of the seven school districts, six districts reported having PK-12
grades; the remaining district has only kindergarten and first grade
classrooms.

Six districts reported having both carpet and either ceramic or vinyl
tile.  The remaining district only has carpet.

In all of the districts, the custodial staff vacuums carpets daily.
Four of the districts use HEPA vacuums.

Sweeping of tile floors generally occurs daily; washing occurs either
daily or weekly.  Three districts reported using a 1-bucket wet mopping
system (though one of these respondents was unsure).  One respondent
reported using a 2-bucket wet mopping system.  The remaining three
respondents were unsure of the bucket mopping system.

There are more thorough cleaning events during the summer in all
schools.  This includes strip waxing the tile surfaces, shampooing
carpets, and wiping/washing all countertops and surfaces.  In some
schools, more thorough cleaning occurs during the winter break as well.

All districts schedule larger maintenance work for the summer months
when children are not present.  No district has specific
post-maintenance cleaning regimens.  Instead, the degree of clean-up is
dependent upon the size of the maintenance work.  Generally, these are
“as necessary” clean-up operations.

In-house staff perform most small maintenance and repair work in all
districts.  For larger jobs or jobs requiring permits or specialized
skills, schools will hire outside contractors.

Sample Selection

Student Membership Size

We sorted school districts according to school membership size and
percentile.  Roughly 90 percent of school districts in the NCES database
have less than approximately 6,250 children.

We selected each school district to be within a unique 10 point range in
the percentile rankings.  For example, district number one is in the
10th or smaller percentile, school number two is in the 10th to 20th
percentile, and so on.

District Location

Each contacted district represents a unique area of the country.  To
ensure location diversity, we selected each district so that no two
districts would be located within the same EPA region.

 Information on school districts was obtained from the NCES Common Core
of Data Local Education Agency Universe Survey: School Year 2004–05.

    Abstract: Under the Clean Water Act (CWA), EPA develops effluent
limitations guidelines (ELGs) to limit pollutants discharged from
industrial point source categories. EPA initially promulgated ELGs for
the Meat and Poultry Products (MPP) category in 1974 and amended the
regulations in 2004. The current regulation covers wastewater directly
discharged by meat and poultry slaughterhouses and further processors
as well as independent renderers. Small poultry facilities and indirect
dischargers are not included in the current rule.
    In EPA's review of nutrients in industrial wastewater, the MPP
category ranked among the top two industrial categories discharging
nutrients based on 2018 data, and EPA announced a detailed study of the
MPP category in 2020. During the study, EPA collected publicly
available data and met with industry trade associations. EPA found that
there are existing, affordable technologies that can reduce nutrient
concentrations in MPP wastewater, and that pretreatment standards may
be needed as publicly available data shows pollutants from MPP
facilities may passthrough and cause interference for some publicly
owned treatment works (POTWs).
    Publicly available data on MPP facilities that is needed to support
a rulemaking is limited. To identify the base population of
approximately 7,000 MPP facilities, EPA collected data from the US
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS).
Using this base population, EPA attempted to find data on MPP
wastewater, effluent limits, and treatment technologies by collecting
publicly available facility permits and consulting the Integrated
Compliance Information System (ICIS) dataset. Available data was
limited to only those facilities directly discharging wastewater or to
facilities discharging indirectly through POTWS in individual states
that require pretreatment permits to be reported, leaving a large data
gap. Thus, a survey of the current MPP industry will be an essential
portion of the rulemaking process, necessary for EPA to determine
appropriateness of current regulations.
    The data collection activities described in this Information
Collection Request (ICR) are designed to obtain a robust dataset that
characterizes wastewater generation, treatment, and discharge from MPP
facilities. A short questionnaire will be administered as an industry
census to confirm general information on the type and size (both
production and employees) of the facility and gather information on
wastewater generation and treatment. To reduce burden on the industry,
a statistically representative subset of MPP facilities will complete a
detailed survey collecting additional details on processing operations,
types and amount of wastewater generated by operation, wastewater
treatment details, and economic data. A small number of MPP facilities
will also be asked to collect and analyze wastewater samples to
characterize raw waste streams, wastewater treatment systems, and
treated effluent for pollutants of interest.
    The current rule contains 12 subparts, reflecting that the industry
engages in a wide range of activities. Facilities range in size from
very small (less than 10 employees) to large (over 500 employees). For
EPA to complete the detailed technical and economic analysis for the
entire industry necessary for the rulemaking process, the short
questionnaire, detailed questionnaire, and sampling activities are
essential.
    Confidential Business Information (CBI) may be collected. In
accordance with 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, section 2.203, the MPP
Surveys inform respondents of their right to claim information as
confidential. Each survey provides instructions for claiming
confidentiality and informs respondents of the terms and rules
governing the protection of CBI under the CWA and 40 CFR 2.203. Survey
respondents are requested to mark any claimed confidential responses as
CBI. EPA and its contractors will follow EAD's existing procedures to
protect data labeled as CBI.
    Form Numbers: 6100-074, 6100-075.
    Respondents/affected entities: All Meat and Poultry Products
facilities in the U.S.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (Clean Water Act
section 308).
    Estimated number of respondents: 7,000 (total).
    Frequency of response: One-time data collection.
    Total estimated burden: 70,807 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,219,484, which includes $85,708 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: This is a new data collection request and
is a one-time temporary increase to the Agency's burden.
