Background

    Under Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.), section
40123, certain voluntarily provided safety and security information is
protected from disclosure in order to encourage persons to provide the
information. The FAA must first issue an Order that specifies why the
agency finds that the information should be protected in accordance
with 49 U.S.C., section 40123. The FAA's rules for implementing that
section are in 14 CFR part 193. If the Administrator issues an Order
designating information as protected under 49 U.S.C., section 40123,
that information will not be disclosed under the Freedom of Information
Act (Title 5 of the United States Code (5 U.S.C.), section 552) or
other laws, except as provided in 49 U.S.C. 40123, 14 CFR part 193, and
the Order designating the information as protected. This Order is
issued under part 193, section 193.11, which sets out the notice
procedure for designating information as protected.

2. Applicability

    This proposed designation is applicable to any FAA office that
receives information covered under this designation from the SAFER-FCT
Program or the ATSAP-X Program, both of which will be incorporated in
FAA Order 7200.20, Voluntary Safety Reporting Programs. The proposed
designation would also apply to any other government agency that
receives such information from the FAA. For any other government agency
to receive SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X information covered under the proposed
designation from the FAA, each such agency must first stipulate, in
writing, that it will abide by the provisions of part 193 and the Order
designating the SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X information as protected from
public disclosure under 14 CFR part 193.

3. Summary

    a. Qualified Participants. Region X employees who are covered under
the Consolidated Collective Bargaining agreement (CBA) between NATCA
and the FAA effective May 22, 2013, or its successor, and other
employees identified in FAA Order 7200.22 which will be incorporated in
FAA Order 7200.20, are eligible to complete a ATSAP-X report for events
that occur while acting in that capacity. Vendor employees Union or
Non-Union who are covered under the FAA and the Federal Contract Tower
September 2011 contract, or its successor, and other employees
identified in FAA Order 7200.20 are eligible to complete a SAFER-FCT
report for events that occur while acting in that capacity.

b. Voluntarily-Provided Information Protected From Disclosure Under the
Proposed Designation

    Except for SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X reports that involve possible
criminal conduct, substance abuse, controlled substances, alcohol, or
intentional falsification, the following information would be protected
from disclosure:
    (1) the content of any report concerning an aviation safety or
security matter that is submitted by a qualified participant under the
SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X that is accepted into either program, including
the SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X report, and the name of the submitter of the
report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, mandatory information about
occurrences that are required to be reported under FAA Orders or ATO
guidance is not protected under this designation, unless the same
information has also been submitted or reported under other procedures
prescribed by the Agency. The exclusion is necessary to assure that the
information protected under this designation has been voluntarily
submitted. It also permits changes to ATO Orders and guidance without
requiring a change to this designation.
    (2) Any evidence gathered by the Event Review Committee during its
investigation of a safety- or security-

related event reported under SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X, including the SAFER-
FCT or ATSAP-X investigative file.

    Note: The type of information or circumstances under which the
information listed above would not be protected from disclosure is
discussed in paragraph 3.b of this Order.

    c. Ways to Participate. FAA employees who are qualified
participants register for, and submit a report into, the system.
    d. Duration of This Information-Sharing Program. This program
continues as long as it is provided for by Order or a collective
bargaining agreement.

4. Findings

    The FAA designates information received from a SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X
submission as protected under 49 U.S.C. 40123 and 14 CFR 193.7, based
on the following findings:
    a. Summary of why the FAA finds that the information will be
provided voluntarily. The FAA finds that the information will be
provided voluntarily. This finding is supported by the significant
increase in reports of safety-related matters since the implementation
of voluntary safety reporting programs. No FAA or Vendor employee is
required to participate in the SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X.
    b. Description of the type of information that may be voluntarily
provided under the program and a summary of why the FAA finds that the
information is safety- related.
    (1) The following types of reports are ordinarily submitted under
the SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X:
    i. Noncompliance reports. Noncompliance reports identify specific
instances of a failure to follow FAA directives.
    ii. Aviation safety concern reports. Aviation safety concerns that
do not involve specific noncompliance with FAA directives. These may
include, but are not limited to potential safety events or perceived
problems with policies, procedures, and equipment.
    (2) Region X employees support the design, delivery and efficiency
of flight services throughout the National Airspace System (NAS)
facilities, systems and equipment. Reports submitted by these employees
under ATSAP-X ordinarily involve matters or observations occurring
during the performance of their job responsibilities, and therefore the
information submitted is inherently safety related. Vendor employees
provide and support the provision of air traffic services at Federal
Contract Tower facilities throughout the NAS. Reports submitted by
these employees under SAFER-FCT ordinarily involve occurrences or
problems identified or experienced during the performance of their job
responsibilities which directly affect safety.
    c. Summary of why the FAA finds that the disclosure of the
information would inhibit persons from voluntarily providing that type
of information.
    The FAA finds that disclosure of the information would inhibit the
voluntary provision of that type of information. Employees are
unwilling to voluntarily provide detailed information about safety
events and concerns, including those that might involve their own
failures to follow Agency directives and policies, if such information
could be released publicly. If information is publicly disclosed, there
is a strong likelihood that the information could be misused for
purposes other than to address and resolve the reported safety concern.
Unless the FAA can provide assurance that safety-related reports will
be withheld from public disclosure, employees will not participate in
the programs.
    d. Summary of why the receipt of that type of information aids in
fulfilling the FAA's safety responsibilities.
    The FAA finds that receipt of information in SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X
reports aids in fulfilling the FAA's safety responsibilities. Because
of its capacity to provide early identification of needed safety
improvements, this information offers significant potential for
addressing hazards that could lead to incidents or accidents. In
particular, one of the benefits of both the SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X is
that they encourage the submission of narrative descriptions of
occurrences that provide more detailed information than is otherwise
available. The SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X have produced safety-related data
that is not available from any other source. Receipt of this previously
unavailable information has provided the FAA with an improved basis for
modifying procedures, policies, and regulations to improve safety and
efficiency.
    e. Consistencies and inconsistencies with FAA safety
responsibilities.
    The FAA finds that withholding SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X information
from public release is consistent with the FAA's safety
responsibilities, because it encourages individuals to provide
important safety information that it otherwise might not receive.
    (1) Withholding SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X information from disclosure,
as described in this designation, is consistent with the FAA's safety
responsibilities. Without the Agency's ability to assure that the
detailed information reported under these programs, which often
explains why the event occurred or describes underlying problems, will
not be disclosed, the information will not be provided to the FAA.
Employees are concerned that public release of the information could
result in potential misuses of the information that could affect them
negatively. If the FAA does not receive the information, the FAA and
the public will be deprived of the opportunity to make the safety
improvements that receipt of the information otherwise enables.
Corrective action under SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X can be accomplished
without disclosure of protected information. For example, for
acceptance under both programs, the reporting employee must comply with
Event Review Committee recommendations for corrective action, such as
additional training for an employee. If the employee fails to complete
corrective action in a manner satisfactory to all members of the Event
Review Committee, the event may be referred to an appropriate office
within the FAA for any additional investigation, reexamination, and/or
action, as appropriate.
    (2) The FAA may release SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X information submitted
to the agency, as specified in Part 193 and this Order. For example, to
explain the need for changes in FAA policies, procedures, and
regulations, the FAA may disclose de-identified, summarized information
that has been derived from SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X reports or extracted
from the protected information listed under paragraph 5b. The FAA may
disclose de-identified, summarized SAFER-FCT or ATSAP-X information
that identifies a systemic problem in the NAS, when a party needs to be
advised of the problem in order to take corrective action. Under the
current version of FAA Order N JO 7200.20, reported events and possible
violations may be subject to investigation, reexamination, and/or
action. Although the report itself and the content of the report are
not used as evidence, the FAA may use the knowledge of the event or
possible violation to generate an investigation, and, in that regard,
the information is not protected from disclosure. To withhold
information from such limited release would be inconsistent with the
FAA's safety responsibilities. In addition, reports that appear to
involve possible criminal activity, substance abuse, controlled
substances, alcohol, or

intentional falsification will be referred to an appropriate FAA office
for further handling. The FAA may use such reports for enforcement
purposes, and will refer such reports to law enforcement agencies, if
appropriate. To withhold information in these circumstances would be
inconsistent with the agency's safety responsibilities because it could
prevent, or at least diminish the FAA's ability to effectively address
egregious misconduct.
    f. Summary of how the FAA will distinguish information protected
under part 193 from information the FAA receives from other sources.
    All employee SAFER-FCT and ATSAP-X reports are clearly labeled as
such. Each employee must submit their own report.

5. Designation

    The FAA designates the information described in paragraph 5b to be
protected from disclosure in accordance with 49 U.S.C., section 40123
and 14 CFR part 193.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 12d1-1; SEC File No. 270-526; OMB Control No. 3235-0584.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Under current law, an investment company (``fund'') is limited in
the amount of securities the fund (``acquiring fund'') can acquire from
another fund (``acquired fund''). In general under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) (the ``Investment Company Act'' or
``Act''), a registered fund (and companies it controls) cannot: (i)
Acquire more than three percent of another fund's securities; (ii)
invest more than five percent of its own assets in another fund; or
(iii) invest more than ten percent of its own assets in other funds

in the aggregate.\1\ In addition, a registered open-end fund, its
principal underwriter, and any registered broker or dealer cannot sell
that fund's shares to another fund if, as a result: (i) The acquiring
fund (and any companies it controls) owns more than three percent of
the acquired fund's stock; or (ii) all acquiring funds (and companies
they control) in the aggregate own more than ten percent of the
acquired fund's stock.\2\ Rule 12d1-1 under the Act (17 CFR 270.12d1-1)
provides an exemption from these limitations for ``cash sweep''
arrangements, in which a fund invests all or a portion of its available
cash in a money market fund rather than directly in short-term
instruments. An acquiring fund relying on the exemption may not pay a
sales load, distribution fee, or service fee on acquired fund shares,
or if it does, the acquiring fund's investment adviser must waive a
sufficient amount of its advisory fee to offset the cost of the loads
or distribution fees.\3\ The acquired fund may be a fund in the same
fund complex or in a different fund complex. In addition to providing
an exemption from section 12(d)(1) of the Act, the rule provides
exemptions from section 17(a) and rule 17d-1, which restrict a fund's
ability to enter into transactions and joint arrangements with
affiliated persons.\4\ These provisions could otherwise prohibit an
acquiring fund from investing in a money market fund in the same fund
complex,\5\ or prohibit a fund that acquires five percent or more of
the securities of a money market fund in another fund complex from
making any additional investments in the money market fund.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 15 U.S.C. 80a-12(d)(1)(A). If an acquiring fund is not
registered, these limitations apply only with respect to the
acquiring fund's acquisition of registered funds.
    \2\ See 15 U.S.C. 80a-12(d)(1)(B).
    \3\ See Rule 12d1-1(b)(1).
    \4\ See 15 U.S.C. 80a-17(a), 15 U.S.C. 80a-17(d); 17 CFR
270.17d-1.
    \5\ An affiliated person of a fund includes any person directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control
with such other person. See 15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a)(3)(C) (definition of
``affiliated person''). Most funds today are organized by an
investment adviser that advises or provides administrative services
to other funds in the same complex. Funds in a fund complex are
generally under common control of an investment adviser or other
person exercising a controlling influence over the management or
policies of the funds. See 15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a)(9). Not all advisers
control funds they advise. The determination of whether a fund is
under the control of its adviser, officers, or directors depends on
all the relevant facts and circumstances. See Investment Company
Mergers, Investment Company Act Release No. 25259 (Nov. 8, 2001) [66
FR 57602 (Nov. 15, 2001)], at n.11. To the extent that an acquiring
fund in a fund complex is under common control with a money market
fund in the same complex, the funds would rely on the rule's
exemptions from section 17(a) and rule 17d-1.
    \6\ See 15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a)(3)(A), (B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The rule also permits a registered fund to rely on the exemption to
invest in an unregistered money market fund that limits its investments
to those in which a registered money market fund may invest under rule
2a-7 under the Act (17 CFR 270.2a-7), and undertakes to comply with all
the other provisions of rule 2a-7. In addition the acquiring fund must
reasonably believe that the unregistered money market fund (i) operates
in compliance with rule 2a-7, (ii) complies with sections 17(a), (d),
(e), 18, and 22(e) of the Act \7\ as if it were a registered open-end
fund, (iii) has adopted procedures designed to ensure that it complies
with these statutory provisions, (iv) maintains the records required by
rules 31a-1(b)(2)(ii), 31a-1(b)(2)(iv), and 31a-1(b)(9); \8\ and (v)
preserves permanently, the first two years in an easily accessible
place, all books and records required to be made under these rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 15 U.S.C. 80a-17(a), 15 U.S.C. 80a-17(d), 15 U.S.C. 80a-
17(e), 15 U.S.C. 80a-18, 15 U.S.C. 80a-22(e).
    \8\ See 17 CFR 270.31a-1(b)(2)(ii), 17 CFR 270.31a-1(b)(2)(iv),
17 CFR 270.31a-1(b)(9).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 2a-7 contains certain collection of information requirements.
An unregistered money market fund that complies with rule 2a-7 would be
subject to these collection of information requirements. In addition,
the recordkeeping requirements under rule 31a-1 with which the
acquiring fund reasonably believes the unregistered money market fund
complies are collections of information for the unregistered money
market fund. By allowing funds to invest in registered and unregistered
money market funds, rule 12d1-1 is intended to provide funds greater
options for cash management. In order for a registered fund to rely on
the exemption to invest in an unregistered money market fund, the
unregistered money market fund must comply with certain collection of
information requirements for registered money market funds. These
requirements are intended to ensure that the unregistered money market
fund has established procedures for collecting the information
necessary to make adequate credit reviews of securities in its
portfolio, as well as other recordkeeping requirements that will assist
the acquiring fund in overseeing the unregistered money market fund
(and Commission staff in its examination of the unregistered money
market fund's adviser).
    Commission staff estimates that registered funds currently invest
in 60 unregistered money market funds in excess of the statutory limits
under rule 12d1-1, and will invest in approximately 6 new unregistered
money market funds each year \9\ Staff estimates that each of these
unregistered money market funds spends 1220 hours to perform the record
of credit risk analysis and other determinations annually, and each of
the 6 unregistered money market funds in which an acquiring fund
invests in for the first time under the rule will spend 21 hours to
implement the board procedures. Finally, Commission staff estimates
that 15 unregistered money market funds each spend 4.5 hours to review
and amend procedures annually. The estimated total of annual responses
under rule 12d1-1 is 10,713,\10\ and the estimate of burden hours
associated with these responses is 80,714 hours.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ This estimate is based on the number of applications filed
with the Commission in 2005 (40), increased by investment in 6 new
funds each year since 2005 (18), and rounded to the nearest tenth
(60). This estimate may be understated because applicants generally
do not identify the name or number of unregistered money market
funds in which registered funds intend to invest, and each
application also applies to unregistered money market funds to be
organized in the future.
    \10\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: (60 x
162) + (6 x 162) + (6 x 1) + (15 x 1) = 10,713.
    \11\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: (60 x
1220) + (6 x 1220) + (6 x 21) + (15 x 4.5) = 80,714.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commission staff estimates that unregistered money market funds
also incur costs to preserve records, as required under rule 2a-7.
These costs will vary significantly for individual funds, depending on
the amount of assets under fund management and whether the fund
preserves its records in a storage facility in hard copy or has
developed and maintains a computer system to create and preserve
compliance records. In its rule 2a-7 Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'')
submission, Commission staff estimated that the amount an individual
money market fund may spend ranged from $100 per year to $300,000. We
have no reason to believe the range is different for unregistered money
market funds. The Commission does not have specific information on the
amount of assets managed by unregistered money market funds.
Accordingly, Commission staff estimates that an unregistered money
market fund in which registered funds invest in reliance on rule 12d1-1
have, on average, $380 million in assets under management.\12\ Based on
a cost of $0.0000005 per dollar of assets under management for medium-
sized funds,

the staff estimates compliance with rule 2-7 costs each of these
unregistered money market funds $11,400 annually.\13\ Commission staff
estimates that unregistered money market funds will not incur any
capital costs to create computer programs for maintaining and
preserving compliance records for rule 2a-7.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ This estimate is based on the average of assets under
management of medium-sized registered money market funds ($50
million to $999 million).
    \13\ This estimate was based on the following calculation: 60
unregistered money market funds x $380 million in assets under
management x $0.0000005 = $11,400. The estimate of cost per dollar
of assets is the same as that used for medium-sized funds in the
rule 2a-7 PRA submission.
    \14\ This estimate is based on information Commission staff
obtained in its survey for the rule 2a-7 PRA submission. Of the
funds surveyed, no medium-sized funds incurred this type of capital
cost. The funds either maintained record systems using a program the
fund would be likely to have in the ordinary course of business
(such as Excel) or the records were maintained by the fund's
custodian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The collections of information required for unregistered money
market funds by rule 12d1-1 are necessary in order for acquiring funds
to be able to obtain the benefits described above. Notices to the
Commission will not be kept confidential. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.

Federal agency unless the collection displays a valid OMB control
number. In compliance with these requirements, this notice announces
that the following information collection request will be submitted
OMB.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting
public comments on the following information collection was published
on May 3, 2022 (87 FR 26253).
    Title: 49 CFR 571.125. Standard No. 125; Warning devices,
Compliance Labeling of Warning Devices.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0506.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of a previously approved
information.
    Type of Review Requested: Regular.
    Length of Approval Requested: Three years from date of approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information: The National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, authorizes the Secretary of
Transportation (NHTSA by delegation), at 49 U.S.C. 30111 to issue
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that set performance
standards for motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment. 49
U.S.C. 30115 (https://www.govinfo.gov/link/uscode/49/30115) requires
manufacturers of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment to certify
that the vehicle or equipment complies with applicable motor vehicle
safety standards prescribed under this chapter. Section 30115 further
specifies that certification of equipment may be shown by a label or
tag on the equipment or on the outside of the container in which the
equipment is delivered to certify that items of motor vehicle equipment
subject to FMVSS comply with all applicable standards. Further, the
Secretary (NHTSA by delegation) is authorized, at 49 U.S.C. 30117
(https://www.govinfo.gov/link/uscode/49/30117), to require
manufacturers to provide information to first purchasers of motor
vehicles or motor vehicle equipment when the vehicle or equipment is
purchased, in the form of printed matter placed in the vehicle or
attached to the vehicle or motor vehicle equipment.
    Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 125, ``Warning
devices'' specifies requirements for devices, without self-containing
energy sources, that are designed to be carried in buses and trucks
with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds,
although they can be carried in other vehicles. These devices are used
to warn approaching traffic of the presence of a stopped vehicle. This
requirement does not apply to devices designed to be permanently
affixed to the vehicle. The purpose of the standard is to reduce deaths
and injuries due to rear end collisions between moving traffic and
disabled vehicles. To ensure that the warning devices provide effective
warnings to approaching traffic of the presence of a stopped vehicle,
the standard sets forth specific requirements for the chromaticity of
the reflex reflective material and fluorescent material affixed to both
faces of the device.
    In addition to performance requirements, the FMVSS No. 125 requires
manufacturers to permanently and legibly mark their warning devices
with (a) the manufacturer's name, (b) the month and year of
manufacture, and (c) the symbol DOT, or the statement that the warning
device complies with all applicable FMVSS. Manufacturers must also
provide, with each warning device they manufacture, instructions
printed or attached to the device in a manner that cannot easily be
removed, for the operator to understand its erection and placement and
a recommendation that the driver activate the vehicle hazard warning
signal lamps before leaving the vehicle.
    Since the last notice, the total burden hours were revised from one
hour to three hours based on the number of respondents and required
reporting tasks. The total annual cost burden was

revised from $26 to $4,075, and the number of responses increased from
2.85 million to 4.31 million based on the number of trucks registered
in the United States. In addition, maintenance and materials costs were
updated.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: Manufacturers of warning devices are required to certify
that their products meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 125. Without the
identification information provided by the certification, NHTSA would
be unable to identify the manufacturer of equipment that fails to meet
the minimum performance for reflectivity and ability to withstand
environmental conditions consistent with roadsides on which they are to
be used. The instruction labeling also serves the safety purpose of
FMVSS No. 125 by providing important information to operators, thereby
increasing the likelihood of correct usage. Without labeling and
instructions, a driver may not properly erect or place the warning
devices in a manner that reduces the risk of rear end crashes with
disabled vehicles. Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA)
also requires the placement of warning devices around buses and trucks
that have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000
pounds, for warning to approaching traffic when they are disabled on a
highway or shoulder. The labeling requirement assists FMCSA enforcement
with the ability to verify that warning devices being used in
commercial motor vehicles meet the minimum performance levels for
safety.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers of warning devices.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.
    The respondents are likely to be manufacturers of warning devices.
The agency estimates that currently there are three manufacturers
producing warning devices for use in motor vehicles.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Number of Responses: 4,3200,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3 hours.
    NHTSA was able to identify three manufacturers of warning devices.
NHTSA estimates there are approximately 4.32 million labels affixed to
warning devices each year.
    This is based on the total number of truck tractors and other
medium- and heavy-duty trucks registrations, which was 14,369,339 in
2019.\1\ NHTSA estimates that 1 out of 10 trucks requires a new set of
warning devices each year or, approximately 1.44 million (1,436,934 or
rounded to 1.44 million), and each warning device requires three
labels. Accordingly, NHTSA estimates that the three respondents produce
4.32 million labels each year, for an annual average of 1.44 million
labels per respondent. Because the labels are molded onto the warning
devices and cases, NHTSA estimates that the only time burden associated
with this collection is time required to log the production of the
molding presses in a highly-automated production process, which NHTSA
estimates will take each manufacturer 1 hour per year. Accordingly,
NHTSA estimates the total burden for this collection to be 3 hours (3
respondents x 1 hour). Using the estimate from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) for the average hourly compensation for Molders and
Molding Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic (BLS
Occupation code 51-4070) in the Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Industry,
NHTSA estimate the loaded labor cost is $34.67 per hour.\2\ Thus, the
total labor cost associated with the burden hours is $104.01 for all
responses generated by all 3 respondents together. Table 1 provides a
summary of the estimated burden hours and labor costs associated with
those submissions.

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

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $4,075 per year.
    NHTSA estimates that the total annual cost to respondents is
$4,075.00, or $.00094 per response ($4,075 / 4.32 million labels). This
cost is comprised of the annualized cost of depreciation of purchase
and modification of the equipment required for molding the labels onto
the warning devices and cases and the annual cost of materials required
for the labeling.
    The initial cost to the respondents was based on estimated costs
for modifying the die-mold such that it creates the label during normal
production. The cost to manufacturers of the label requirement is the
amortization of the die mold modification and the additional material
consumed. The labels are to be placed on every warning device
manufactured. The labels are produced during the normal course of
steady flow manufacturing operation without a direct time penalty. The
sole method used for producing the label is a process by which the
required information is molded into the parts and/or cases directly.
The cost of modifying a die mold to include the required information is
estimated to be $10,000 per mold. The typical life of a die-mold of
this type is 30 years, for a straight-line depreciation of the molds
($10,000 divided by 30) equal to $333.33 per mold. Part of the required
information is included on the molds that create the warning devices,
while the remaining information (instructions) is included within the
molds that create the cases that are supplied with the warning devices.
Each of the three manufacturers is estimated to have 2 warning device
molds and 2 case molds for a total of 12 molds. Accordingly, NHTSA
estimates the total cost for equipment to be $4,000 per year (($333.33
x 4 molds) x 3 respondents = $4,000).
    The additional material required to produce the instructions is
expected to be very small because the engraving depth is approximately
0.1 mm with a text width of 0.5 mm and a length of 300

mm, resulting in a volume of material of 1.5 mm\3\ per warning device,
or 6,480,000 mm\3\ per year (1.5 x 4.32 million devices). The price of
polypropylene is estimated at $1,100 per ton with a density of 0.95 g/
cm\3\ (1.0472 x 10-8 tons/mm\3\). The total material price is thus
estimated to be $74.64 ((1.0472 x 10-8 tons/mm\3\) x $1,100 x 6,480,000
mm\3\) per year, rounded to $75 per year.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0785; Airspace Docket No. 11-AEA-20]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Luray, VA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E Airspace at Luray, VA, to
accommodate the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System
(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures serving Luray Caverns
Airport. This action enhances the safety and airspace management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the National Airspace
System. This action also makes a minor adjustment to the geographic
coordinates of the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 9, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Fornito, Operations Support
Group, Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O.
Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 22, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Luray, VA
(76 FR 52292). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found that the geographic coordinates of the airport needed to be
adjusted. This action makes that adjustment. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated
August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Luray, VA, to provide the controlled airspace required
to accommodate the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System
(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures developed for Luray
Caverns Airport. This action also adjusts the geographic coordinates of
the airport to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database. This
action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
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 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.
    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
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 amends controlled airspace at Luray Caverns Airport, Luray, VA.

Lists of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71:

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

[Docket No. CP12-24-000]

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application for Abandonment

    Take notice that on December 5, 2011, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR),
717 Texas Street, Houston, Texas 77002-2761, filed with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission an application under section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act seeking authority to abandon its present and any future
obligation to perform transportation service through approximately 8.5
miles of 20-inch pipeline extending from High Island Block A-531 to
High Island Block A-555, located in federal waters, offshore Texas, all
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing is available for
review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed
on the Commission's Web site web at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-
free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Rene
Staeb, Manager, Project Determinations & Regulatory Administration, ANR
Pipeline Company, 717 Texas Street, Houston, Texas 77002-2761, or
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or fax<PHONE_NUMBER> or by email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    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.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit seven copies of filings made in the

proceeding with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: January 5, 2012.

    Dated: December 15, 2011.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-75923; File No. SR-CBOE-2015-075]

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

September 15, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on September 2, 2015, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II 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 Fees Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fees Schedule. Specifically, the
Exchange proposes to make changes to the Facility Fees section of the
Fees Schedule and in particular, the Notes section associated with the
Floor Broker Workstation (``FBW'') and Floor Broker Workstation 2
(``FBW2'') line-items. Pursuant to that section, the Exchange charges a
Trading Permit Holder (``TPH'') a monthly fee of $400.00 per login ID
per month for the use of a FBW or FBW2.\3\ Pursuant to the Fees
Schedule, the Exchange assesses these facility fees in arrears during
the first week of the following month. For example, a TPH will be
billed in February for use of an FBW or FBW2 in January. Monthly fees
are assessed and applied in their entirety and are not prorated.\4\
Consequently, a TPH that cancels an FBW or FBW2 login ID on January 3
will still be charged the $400.00 fee for all of January on the
February bill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ FBW and FBW2 are order management tools used by Floor
Brokers to handle orders on the floor of the Exchange. FBW is a
third-party facility of the Exchange. As provided in the Notes
section of the FBW2 line-item, for every FBW login a TPH has, the
FBW2 fee will be waived on a one-to-one basis for the months of July
2015 through September 2015.
    \4\ See Fees Schedule, footnote 28.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to make changes to the Facility Fees section
of the Fees Schedule in the Notes of the FBW and FBW2 line-items to add
that FBW and FBW2 login IDs will be renewed automatically for the next
month unless the TPH submits written notification to the Market
Operations Department by 3:00 p.m. CT on the second-to-last business
day of the prior month.\5\ This change would be effective immediately
and apply to FBW and FBW2 cancellations beginning September 1, 2015.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The proposed new language would read FBW and FBW2 ``login
IDs will be renewed automatically for the next month unless the TPH
submits written notification to the Market Operations Department by
3:00 p.m. CT on the second-to-last business day of the prior month
to cancel the FBW or FBW2 login ID at or prior to the end of the
applicable month.''
    \6\ Effective September 1, 2015, FBW and FBW2 login IDs will be
renewed automatically for the next month unless the Trading Permit
Holder (TPH) submits written notification to the Market Operations
Department by 3:00 p.m. (CT) on the second-to-last business day of
the prior month. Requests for cancellation of logins for the FBW and
FBW2 must be specified on the Exchange's new FBW Login Cancellation
Form, which is being adopted concurrently with this filing and can

two business days prior to the intended inactivation date. Please
note that in addition to specifying whether the cancellation will
apply to an FBW (legacy) login or FBW2, FBW and FBW2 users will be
asked to specify whether the risk limits associated with the
particular FBW or FBW2 login should be suspended as well. A copy of
the new Floor Broker Workstation (FBW) Login Cancellation Form is
attached as Exhibit 3 to this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Fees Schedule makes clear that monthly fees are
assessed and applied in their entirety and not prorated, but gives no
time or day by which such cancellation must be received by the
Exchange. Accordingly, so long as a work request is received before the
end of the last second of the day before the end of the month, a TPH
may cancel an FBW or FBW2 login ID for that month.\7\ As a third-party
facility of the Exchange, however, cancellation requests received at
the eleventh hour of the last day of the month cannot always be
processed easily in time. Without ample time to decommission these
logins, the Exchange is more susceptible to configuration and
unauthorized access issues. The Exchange proposes this change to ensure
that there is ample time for the Exchange to process such requests
prior to the end of the month and ensure that cancellations are
completed before the end of the month for which the TPH will be billed.

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\8\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \10\ requirement that the rules of
an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposal to require
that FBW and FBW2 login IDs will be renewed automatically for the next
month unless the TPH submits written notification to the Market
Operations Department by 3:00 p.m. CT on the second-to-last business
day of the prior month to

cancel the FBW or FBW2 login ID effective at or prior to the end of the
applicable month is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory as it
applies to all TPHs that have an FBW or FBW2 login ID and wish to
cancel an FBW or FBW2 login ID effective prior to the end of a month.
The Exchange believes the proposed rule change protects investors and
the public interest by helping the Exchange to more easily ensure that
configuration and unauthorized access issues are averted. The Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change is fair and reasonable because
it only requires that TPHs have the aforethought to know how many login
IDs they will need for the next month two business days prior to the
end of each month and inform the Exchange at that time.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe that the proposed rule changes will impose any burden on
intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the proposed changes
apply to all FBW and FBW2 users. Moreover, the Exchange does not
believe that the $400.00 monthly charge that would apply to FBW and FBW
[sic] users that do not submit written notification to the Market
Operations Department by 3:00 p.m. CT on the second-to-last business
day of the prior month to cancel the FBW or FBW2 login ID effective at
or prior to the end of the applicable month is of a nature that is
large enough to discourage the use of FBW or FBW2 or which would impose
a burden on competition. The Exchange does not believe that the
proposed rule changes will impose any burden on intermarket competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act because these changes apply to billing and fees that affect
CBOE only, not other exchanges. Further, to the extent that the
proposed changes ensure that configuration issues do not occur or
affect Floor Brokers on the Exchange, such market participants may be
more likely to operate on the Exchange.

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

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

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
