Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This AD was
prompted by reports of cracks found in the tailcone upper firewall
where the auxiliary power unit (APU) muffler electrical bonding strap
is attached. This AD requires a detailed visual inspection of the
tailcone upper firewall for defects, rework by replacement of the APU
electrical bonding strap, and repair if necessary. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 4, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 4,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on November 18, 2022 (87 FR 69225). The NPRM was prompted by
AD CF-2022-19, dated April 19, 2022, issued by Transport Canada, which
is the aviation authority for Canada (referred to after this as the
MCAI). The MCAI states that cracks were found in the tailcone upper
firewall where the APU muffler electrical bonding strap is attached.
Crack initiation is related to the rigid electrical bonding strap. A
crack in this area, if not addressed, could result in a breach of the
firewall, which could allow a fire to propagate; reduced lightning
strike protection, which could affect the airplane's grounding and
potentially cause a fire; and increased radio interference during
flight, which could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to maintain
the safe flight and landing of the airplane.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require a detailed visual
inspection of the tailcone upper firewall for defects, rework by
replacement of the APU electrical bonding strap, and repair if
necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking in the
tailcone upper firewall. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could
result in a breach of the firewall, which could allow a fire to
propagate; reduced lightning strike protection, which could affect the
airplane's grounding and potentially cause a fire; and increased radio
interference during flight, which could reduce the ability of the
flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1480.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    This products has been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and is approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and
determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on this product. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted
as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic
burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 100-53-35, dated
December 6, 2021; and Service Bulletin 350-53-004, dated December 6,
2021. This service information specifies procedures for doing a
detailed visual inspection of the tailcone upper firewall for defects,
including cracking, reworking the APU electrical bonding strap by
replacing it with a new flexible APU muffler jumper cable assembly, and
repairing the tailcone upper firewall. These documents are distinct
since they apply to different airplane configurations.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 691 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required action. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 work-hours x $85 per hour = $2,040.          $0 \*\           $2,040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
  estimates for the parts specified in this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is 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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0662; FRL-8801-1]

Acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-
methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt copolymer;
Tolerance Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of October 7, 2009 (74 FR 51600) (FRL-8792-
7), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.
346a, announcing the receipt of a pesticide petition (PP 9E7599) filed
by Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry LLC. The petition requested that 40 CFR
180.960 be amended by establishing an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance for residues of acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium
salt copolymer; CAS Reg. No. 1152297-42-1. That notice included a
summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner and solicited
comments on the petitioner's request. The Agency did not receive any
substantive comments
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and use in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,'' and specifies
factors EPA is to consider in establishing an exemption.

III. Risk Assessment and Statutory Findings

    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate
exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable
circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to
determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability
and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. In the case of certain chemical substances that
are defined as polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria
to identify categories of polymers expected to present minimal or no
risk. The definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and the
exclusion criteria for identifying these low-risk polymers are
described in 40 CFR 723.250(d). Acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium
salt conforms to the definition of a polymer given in 40 CFR 723.250(b)
and meets the following criteria that are used to identify low-risk
polymers.
    1. The polymer is not a cationic polymer nor is it reasonably
anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic
environment.
    2. The polymer does contain as an integral part of its composition
the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
    3. The polymer does not contain as an integral part of its
composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed
in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(2)(ii).

    4. The polymer is neither designed nor can it be reasonably
anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize.
    5. The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/or
reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance
Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.
    6. The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number
average molecular weight (MW) greater than or equal to 10,000 daltons.
    Additionally, the polymer also meets as required the following
exemption criteria specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e).
    7. The polymer's number average MW of greater than 1,000 and less
than 10,000 daltons. The polymer contains less than 10% oligomeric
material below MW 500 and less than 25% oligomeric material below
MW1,000, and the polymer does not contain any reactive functional
groups.
    Thus, acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-
methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt meets the criteria
for a polymer to be considered low risk under 40 CFR 723.250. Based on
its conformance to the criteria in this unit, no mammalian toxicity is
anticipated from dietary, inhalation, or dermal exposure to acrylic
acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-
propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt.

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    For the purposes of assessing potential exposure under this
exemption, EPA considered that acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium
salt could be present in all raw and processed agricultural commodities
and drinking water, and that non-occupational non-dietary exposure was
possible. The number average MW of acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium
salt is 1,500 daltons. Generally, a polymer of this size would be
poorly absorbed through the intact gastrointestinal tract or through
intact human skin. Since acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium
salt conform to the criteria that identify a low-risk polymer, there
are no concerns for risks associated with any potential exposure
scenarios that are reasonably foreseeable. The Agency has determined
that a tolerance is not necessary to protect the public health.

V. Cumulative Effects

    Section 408 (b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering
whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance or tolerance
exemption, the Agency consider ``available information'' concerning the
cumulative effects of a particular chemical's residues and ``other
substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.'' For the purposes
of this tolerance action, EPA has not assumed that acrylic acid-benzyl
methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-
propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt has a common mechanism of toxicity
with other substances, based on the anticipated absence of mammalian
toxicity. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which
chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the
cumulative effects of such chemicals, see the policy statements
released by EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs concerning common
mechanism determinations and procedures for cumulating effects from
substances found to have a common mechanism on EPA's website at http://
www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

VI. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children

    Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the
case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal
toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA concludes
that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and
children. Due to the expected low toxicity of acrylic acid-benzyl
methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-
propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt, EPA has not used a safety factor
analysis to assess the risk. For the same reasons the additional
tenfold safety factor is unnecessary.

VII. Determination of Safety

    Based on the conformance to the criteria used to identify a low-
risk polymer, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no
harm to the U.S. population, including infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to residues of acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-
propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium
salt.

VIII. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

B. International Tolerances

    The Agency is not aware of any country requiring a tolerance for
acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-
[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt nor have any CODEX Maximum
Residue Levels (MRLs) been established for any food crops at this time.

IX. Conclusion

    Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting residues of acrylic acid-
benzyl methacrylate-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-
propenyl)amino]-, monosodium salt from the requirement of a tolerance
will be safe.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these rules from review under
Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been exempted from
review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April
23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it involve any technical standards that
would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards
pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15
U.S.C. 272 note).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power

and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption
provisions of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has
determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect
on States or tribal governments, on the relationship between the
national government and the States or tribal governments, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
otherwise have any unique impacts on local governments. Thus, the
Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism
(64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    Although this action does not require any special considerations
under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994), EPA seeks to achieve
environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of
any group, including minority and/or low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. As such, to the extent that information is
publicly available or was submitted in comments to EPA, the Agency
considered whether groups or segments of the population, as a result of
their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical
or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or
environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide discussed in this
document, compared to the general population.

XI. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this rule in the Federal
Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

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

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.nsx.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 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
Description
    With this rule change, the Exchange is proposing to amend NSX Rule
16.2(b)(2) and the NSX Fee Schedule to reflect the rollout of the Zero
Display Reserve Order \7\ type previously approved by the
Commission.\8\ Specifically, Zero Display Reserve Orders are proposed
to be excluded from the liquidity provider rebate structure payable to
ETP Holders \9\ in the Automatic Execution mode of order interaction
(``AutoEx'').\10\ Accordingly, ETP Holders will receive no rebate for
adding liquidity with Zero Display Reserve Orders in AutoEx. In
addition, in the Order Delivery \11\ mode of order interaction, Zero
Display Reserve Orders are proposed under NSX Rule 16.2(b)(2) and the
Fee Schedule to be ineligible for both liquidity provider rebates and
market data credits. Accordingly, ETP Holders will receive no rebate
for adding liquidity, and will receive no market data credits, with
respect to Zero Display Reserve Orders in Order Delivery. However, like
other order types, Zero Display Reserve Orders are subject to fees for
taking liquidity. This proposed fee and rebate structure applies to all
securities, regardless of price, which are Zero Display Reserve Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See supra note 5.
    \8\ See supra note 6.
    \9\ An ETP Holder is a registered broker or dealer that has been
issued an Equity Trading Permit (``ETP'') by the NSX. An ETP Holder
will have the status of a ``member'' of the Exchange as that term is
defined in Section 3 of the Act.
    \10\ As specified in NSX Rule 11.13(b)(1).
    \11\ As specified in NSX Rule 11.13(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fee and rebate structure with respect to the Zero
Display Reserve Order type is not discriminatory in that all ETP
Holders are eligible to submit both displayed orders and/or non-
displayed orders (i.e., Zero Display Reserve Orders) at their own
discretion.
    The instant filing also proposes to add the words ``fee,''
``rebate'' and ``credit'' in several places, as applicable, in the Fee
Schedule for purposes of clarification. There are no other currently
proposed changes to Fee Schedule.
Rationale
    The amended Fee Schedule is intended to encourage ETP Holders to
display orders on NSX. Because Zero Display Reserve Orders are not
displayed orders, the Exchange is proposing that orders of this type do
not receive any liquidity provider rebate or market data credit.
    The Exchange has determined that this change is necessary for
competitive reasons. Under the proposed Fee Schedule, the fees paid by
a particular ETP Holder will continue to depend on a number of
variables, including the mode of order interaction (AutoEx or Order
Delivery), the types of securities traded through NSX BLADE\SM\ (Tapes
A, B or C), the average daily monthly liquidity providing volume, and
the price of the securities (with a distinction for those above and
below $1.00). The use of Zero Display Reserve Orders and the fees and
rebates they incur and accrue constitutes an additional variable which
ETP Holders may take into account in allocating order flow. NSX notes
that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market
participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues if they
deem fee levels at a particular venue to be more attractive.
Accordingly, the proposed modifications attempt to keep the fees
reflected in the Fee Schedule competitive with fees charged by other
venues and to continue to be reasonable and equitably allocated to
those ETP Holders that opt to direct orders to NSX. Based upon the
information above, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Effective Date and Notice
    The Exchange intends to implement the proposed Fee Schedule in
accordance with the proposed rule change on April 15, 2008. Pursuant to
NSX Rule 16.1(c), the Exchange will ``provide ETP Holders with notice
of all relevant dues, fees, assessments and charges of the Exchange''
through the issuance of a Regulatory Circular of the changes to the Fee
Schedule and will provide a copy of the rule filing on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.nsx.com).
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6(b) of the Act,\12\ in general, and
with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\13\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its
facilities. Moreover, the proposed fee and rebate structure with
respect to the Zero Display Reserve Order type is not discriminatory in
that all ETP Holders are eligible to submit displayed orders or utilize
the new Zero Display Reserve Order type and may do so at their
discretion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any inappropriate burden on competition.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
with the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \14\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \15\ thereunder, because it establishes or changes
a due, fee, or other charge applicable only to a member.

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congestion Management Rules for John F. Kennedy International
Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Limited Slot Allocation demonstration.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces a meeting to hold a demonstration of the
allocation method that the Federal Aviation Administration will use to
allocate limited slots for its congestion management rules for John F.
Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport,
and LaGuardia Airport (Final Congestion Rules). [Docket No. FAA-2008-
0517, Notice No. 08-05 and Docket No. FAA-2006-25709, Notice No. 93-
87].

DATES: The Limited Slot Allocation demonstration is scheduled for
December 04, 2008, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Eastern Time.

ADDRESSES: The demonstration will be held in the FAA headquarters, 800
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC, in the FAA auditorium.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, TO RSVP OR TO CONTACT THE AGENCY REGARDING THE
MEETING: Molly Smith, Office of Aviation Policy & Plans, Federal
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC
20591; Phone<PHONE_NUMBER>; Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; E-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please RSVP by November 26, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As discussed in the Final Congestion Rules
all operators with more than 20 slots at the affected airports will
have a percentage of slots designated as Limited Slots, which will
expire prior to the expiration of the Final Congestion Rules. Limited
Slot leases will expire over the first five years of the Final
Congestion Rules. The number of years of lease duration for Limited
Slots would be distributed in a manner that fairly distributes the
relative length of lease durations among carriers in proportion to
their initial holdings. The Final Congestion Rules designate that
carriers identify one-half of their limited slots by hour of the day;
the FAA will then choose the remaining 50 percent to fairly distribute
the total across the day. Thereafter, the slot lives for all limited
slots would be assigned by FAA.
    The Limited Slot Allocation Demonstration is open to the public
although reservations are required by November 26, 2008. Seating at the
meeting is limited so priority will be given to the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey and the carriers operating at the affected
airports.
    Persons with a disability requiring special accommodations, such as
an interpreter for the hearing impaired, should contact the FAA contact
noted above at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the meeting.

treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of
the NGA.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments

[Docket No. FMCSA-2019-0023]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision of an Approved
Information Collection: Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers Regulations

AGENCY: FMCSA, DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FMCSA
announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its
review and approval and invites public comment. The FMCSA requests
approval to renew an ICR titled, ``Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers
Regulations.'' The HOS regulations require a motor carrier to install
and require each of its drivers subject to the record of duty status
(RODS) rule to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to report the
driver's RODS. The RODS is critical to FMCSA's safety mission because
it helps enforcement officials determine if CMV drivers are complying
with the HOS rules limiting driver on-duty and driving time and
requiring periodic off-duty time.

DATES: We must receive your comments on or before May 7, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) Docket Number FMCSA-2019-0023 using any of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 16, 2015, the final rule titled ``Electronic Logging
Devices and Hours of Service Supporting Documents'' was published and
became effective February 16, 2016 (80 FR 78292). The FMCSA established
minimum performance and design standards for ELDs and the mandatory use
of these devices by drivers who are subject to the HOS reporting
requirements. Drivers currently using compliant automatic on-board
recorders (AOBRDs) have until December 16, 2019, to replace the devices
with ELDs. As a condition of receiving certain federal grants, States
agree to adopt and enforce the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations, including the HOS rules, as State law. As a result, State
enforcement inspectors use the RODS and supporting documents to
determine whether CMV drivers are complying with the HOS rules. In
addition, FMCSA uses the RODS during on-site and offsite investigations
of motor carriers. And, Federal and State courts rely upon the RODS as
evidence of driver and motor carrier violations of the HOS regulations.
This information collection supports the DOT's Strategic Goal of Safety
because the information helps the Agency ensure the safe operation of
CMVs in interstate commerce on our Nation's highways.

Renewal of This IC

    The current IC burden estimate of the HOS rules, approved by OMB on
June 13, 2016, is 99.46 million hours. The expiration date of the
current ICR is June 30, 2019. Through this ICR, FMCSA requests a
revision of the paperwork burden of 2126-0001. The Agency requests a
reduction in the burden hours from 99.46 million hours to 41.03 million
hours. The reduction is the result of amendments of the HOS rules in
which the burden estimate for most drivers and motor carriers is based
on compliance with the ELD final rule during the three-year ICR period.
Two types of information are collected under this IC: (1) Drivers' RODS
commonly referred as a logbook, and (2) supporting documents, such as
gasoline and toll receipts, that motor carriers use to verify accuracy
of RODS and document expense deductions for income tax filing purposes.
The use of ELDs reduces the driver's time to input duty status from 6.5
minutes to 2 minutes.
    Title: Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 2126-0001.
    Type of Request: Revision of an information collection.
    Respondents: Motor Carriers of Property and Passengers, Drivers of
CMVs.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.42 million CMV drivers; 540,000
Motor Carriers.
    Estimated Time per Response: CMV drivers using technology: 2
minutes. Motor Carriers: 2 minutes.
    Expiration Date: June 30, 2019.
    Frequency of Response: Drivers: 240 days per year; Motor carriers
240 days per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 41.03 million hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to enhance
the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the
quality of the information collected. The Agency will summarize or
include your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this ICR.
    Issued under the authority of 49 CFR 1.87 on:

    Dated: March 1, 2019.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53441; File No. SR-CHX-2006-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Prohibition of
Trade Shredding

March 8, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is
hereby given that on January 24, 2006, the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.
(``CHX'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by 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 Exchange proposes to amend its rules to prohibit ``trade
shredding.'' The text of the proposed rule change appears below.
Additions are in italics.

ARTICLE IX

Trading Rules

    * * *

Breaking Up Orders

    RULE 18. No Participant shall break customer orders into multiple
smaller orders for the primary purpose of maximizing rebates or other
payments to the Participant without regard for the customer's interest.

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 CHX included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received regarding the proposal. The text of
these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. The CHX 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 Commission has expressed concern that participants in the U.S.
securities markets may be engaging in the practice of ``trade
shredding.'' ``Trade shredding'' is the practice of unbundling customer
orders for securities into multiple smaller orders for the primary
purpose of maximizing payments to the participant or participant firm.
The Commission has noted that firms might engage in this practice to
maximize the market data rebates available to them from self-regulatory
organizations.\3\ Unbundling customer orders also could have the effect
of causing customers to pay (and participant firms to receive)
excessive fees or commissions or could result in situations where
customer orders are not receiving best execution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has noted that the changes to the market data
revenue formulas as a result of Regulation NMS were developed, at
least in part, to respond to concerns relating to ``trade
shredding.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has requested that self-regulatory organizations
adopt rules to prohibit the practice of trade shredding.\4\ Although
the Exchange does not currently rebate market data fees to its order-
sending firms--and therefore does not believe that its order-sending
firms have an incentive to engage in the practice of trade shredding
with respect to orders sent to the Exchange--the Exchange believes that
it is appropriate to implement a rule that would prohibit this type of
inappropriate practice. Specifically, new Rule 18, in Article IX of the
Exchange's Rules, would prohibit an Exchange participant from breaking
customer orders into smaller multiple orders for the primary purpose of
maximizing rebates or other payments to the participant without regard
for the customer's interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Other self-regulatory organizations have submitted these
types of rules in response to the Commission's request. See e.g.,
NYSE Rule 123G (approved by Securities Exchange Act Release No.
52683 (October 26, 2005), 70 FR 66480 (November 2, 2005)).

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

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change 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 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 by ensuring that Exchange
participants, like participants in other markets, are prohibited from
engaging in the practice of trade shredding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule changes will
impose any burden on competition.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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