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

    The MSRB is filing with the Commission revisions to the study
outline and selection specifications for the Municipal Securities
Representative Qualification Examination (Series 52) program.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The MSRB is also proposing corresponding revisions to the
Series 52 question bank, but based upon instructions from the
Commission staff, the MSRB is submitting SR-MSRB-2010-12 for
immediate effectiveness pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the
Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) thereunder, and is not filing the question
bank for Commission review. See letter to Diane G. Klinke, General
Counsel, MSRB, from Belinda Blaine, Associate Director, Division of
Market Regulation, SEC, dated July 24, 2000. The question bank is
available for Commission review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revised study outline is available on the MSRB's Web site at
http://www.msrb.org/ Rules-and-Interpretations/SEC-Filings/2010-
Filings.asp, at the MSRB's principal office, 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 MSRB 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 Board 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
    Section 15B(b)(2)(A) of the Act \6\ authorizes the MSRB to
prescribe standards of training, experience, competence, and such other
qualifications as the Board finds necessary or appropriate in the
public interest or for the protection of investors and municipal
entities or obligated persons. The MSRB has developed examinations that
are designed to establish that persons associated with brokers, dealers
and municipal securities dealers that effect transactions in municipal
securities have attained specified levels of competence and knowledge.
The MSRB periodically reviews the content of the examinations to
determine whether revisions are necessary or appropriate in view of
changes pertaining to the subject matter covered by the examinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    MSRB Rule G-3(a)(i) states that the activities of a municipal
securities representative include one or more of the following
activities relating to municipal securities: Underwriting, trading or
selling municipal securities; rendering financial advisory or
consultant services to issuers of municipal securities; research or
investment advice, or communications with customers, about any of the
activities named heretofore. A municipal securities representative may
also qualify as such by taking the General Securities Representative
Examination (Series 7). An individual who takes the Investment Company
Products/Variable Contracts Examination (Series 6) may qualify as a
limited representative, but activities are limited to those in
municipal fund securities.
    A committee of industry members and MSRB staff recently undertook a
review of the Series 52 examination program. As a result of this
review, the MSRB is proposing to make revisions to the study outline to
regroup certain topics to allow more detailed testing of certain
product knowledge and MSRB rules and eliminate redundancy; delete dated
references to certain topics in the current outline; provide detail
about products covered in the examination; and incorporate generic
terms instead of proprietary names. The revised examination continues
to cover areas of knowledge required to conduct municipal securities
activities.
    A summary of the changes to the content outline for the Series 52
Examination, detailed by major topic headings, is provided below.

decreasing representation of related topics under the general topic
heading. The examination will consist of 115 multiple choice-
questions assigned to the four areas of the examination as shown
below. The percentages given for each section are rounded to an even
number.

Municipal Securities                                                 57%

Economic Activity, Government Policy and the Behavior of             13%
 Interest Rates
Federal Legal Considerations                                         26%

    Candidates will now be allowed three and one-half hours (instead
of the current three hours) for each testing session because of the
increase in the length of the examination from 100 to 115 questions.
Each question will continue to count one point, and each candidate
must correctly answer 70 percent of the questions in order to
receive a passing grade.
2. Statutory Basis
    The MSRB believes that the proposed revisions to the Series 52
examination program are consistent with the provisions of Section
15B(b)(2)(A) of the Act, which authorizes the MSRB to prescribe
standards of training,

experience, competence, and such other qualifications as the Board
finds necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the
protection of investors and municipal entities or obligated persons.
Section 15B(b)(2)(A) of the Act also provides that the Board may
appropriately classify municipal securities brokers, municipal
securities dealers, and municipal advisors, and persons associated with
municipal securities brokers, municipal securities dealers, and
municipal advisors and require persons in any such class to pass tests
prescribed by the Board.
    The MSRB believes that the proposed revisions to the Series 52
examination program are consistent with the provisions of Section
15B(b)(2)(A) of the Act in that the revisions will provide more updated
material covered on the examination as well as ensure that certain key
concepts or rules are tested on each administration of the examination
in order to test the competency of individuals seeking to qualify as
municipal securities representatives with respect to their knowledge
about MSRB rules and the municipal securities market.

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

    The MSRB does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \8\ thereunder, in
that the proposed rule change constitutes a stated policy, practice, or
interpretation with respect to the meaning, administration, or
enforcement of an existing rule of the self-regulatory organization.
The MSRB proposes to implement the revised Series 52 examination
program on January 3, 2011. 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.\9\

[Docket No. OSHA-2006-0028]

MET Laboratories, Inc.: Grant of Expansion of Recognition and
Modification to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces its final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for MET Laboratories, Inc., as a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). In addition, OSHA announces the
addition of one test standard to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate
Test Standards.

DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on
May 15, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
    Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office
of Communications, U.S. Department of Labor; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
email: [email protected].
    General and technical information: Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson,
Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities,
Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor; telephone:
(202) 693-2110; email: [email protected]. OSHA's web page includes
information about the NRTL Program (see http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), as a NRTL. MET's expansion
covers the addition of two test standards to its scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified by 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government
authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products
properly approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require
testing and certification of the products.
    The Agency processes applications by a NRTL for initial
recognition, or for expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding and, in the second
notice, the Agency provides its final decision on the application.
These notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA maintains an informational web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the Agency's website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    MET submitted an application, dated July 27, 2016, (OSHA-2006-0028-
0042) to expand its recognition to include two additional test
standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application
packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform
any on-site reviews in relation to this application.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing MET's expansion
application in the Federal Register on February 21, 2018 (83 FR 7496).
The Agency requested comments by March 8, 2018, but it received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this
final notice to grant expansion of MET's scope of recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
MET's application, go to http://www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N-3653,
Washington, DC 20210. Docket No. OSHA-2006-0028 contains all materials
in the record concerning MET's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined MET's expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that MET
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the specified limitation and conditions listed
below. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant
MET's scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of MET's
recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration
of conformance to the test standards listed, below in Table 1.

          Table 1--List of Appropriate Test Standards for Inclusion in MET's NRTL Scope of Recognition
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UL 60947-1..................................  Standard for Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear--Part 1:
                                               General Rules.
UL 60947-4-1................................  Standard for Safety Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear--Part 4-
                                               1: Contactors and Motor-Starters--Electromechanical Contactors
                                               and Motor-Starters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this notice, OSHA also announces the addition of a new test
standard to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
Table 2, below, lists the test standard that is new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA has determined that this test standard is an appropriate
test standard and will include it in the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards.

         Table 2--Test Standard OSHA Is Adding to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Test standard                                         Test standard title
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UL 60947-4-1................................  Standard for Safety Low Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear--Part 4-
                                               1: Contactors and Motor-Starters--Electromechanical Contactors
                                               and Motor-Starters.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
    The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, the use of the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may
occur. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3,
Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test
standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or
the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a
test standard is currently ANSI-approved.

A. Conditions

    In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
MET must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
    2. MET must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA

policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. MET must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on MET's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of MET, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.

III. Authority and Signature

    Loren Sweatt, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational
Safety and Health, authorized the preparation of this notice.
Accordingly, the Agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29 U.S.C.
657(g)(2), Secretary of Labor's Order No. 1-2012 (77 FR 3912, Jan. 25,
2012), and 29 CFR 1910.7.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on May 9, 2018.

[Release No. 34-56858; File No. SR-NYSE-2007-103]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to NYSE Rule 124 (Odd-Lot Orders)

November 28, 2007.
    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 November 14, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' 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 substantially prepared by the
NYSE. The Exchange has filed the proposal pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(5) thereunder,\4\ which
renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 124 (Odd-Lot Orders)
to clarify the manner in which Exchange systems price and execute odd-
lot orders \5\ at the opening and at the re-opening after a halt in
trading on the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.nyse.com), at the

Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission's Public
Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Odd-lot orders are orders for a size less than the standard
unit (roundlot) of trading, which is 100 shares for most stocks,
although some stocks trade in 10 share units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NYSE 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
    This filing is submitted to amend Exchange Rule 124 in order to
clarify that for the opening transaction in a subject security, odd-lot
market orders and all odd-lot limit orders that are eligible to receive
an execution based on

the price of the opening transaction \6\ shall be executed at the price
of the opening transaction. Similarly, in the event of a halt in
trading on the Exchange in the subject security, odd-lot market orders
and all odd-lot limit orders eligible to receive an execution based on
the re-opening price that are accepted by Exchange systems prior to the
halt in trading or are received during the halt in trading shall be
executed at the price of the re-opening transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Pursuant to Exchange Rule 124(b), an odd-lot limit order is
considered marketable when its limit price is at or higher than the
current National best offer (in the case of an odd-lot limit to buy)
and when its limit price is at or lower than the current National
best bid (in the case of an odd-lot limit to sell).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 6, 2007, the Exchange amended Exchange Rule 124 to
modify the way in which Exchange systems priced and executed odd-lot
orders (the ``Odd-lot Filing'').\7\ As it pertains to openings and
halts in trading, the Odd-lot Filing was intended to provide that odd-
lot orders entered into the Exchange systems before the opening
transaction of the subject security that would be eligible for
execution based on the price of the opening transaction would be
executed at the price of the opening transaction.\8\ With respect to
halts in trading on the Exchange, the Odd-lot Filing was also to
provide that odd-lot orders accepted by Exchange systems prior to, or
during, a halt in trading that are subsequently eligible to receive an
execution based on the re-opening price would be executed at the price
of the re-opening transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56551 (September 27,
2007), 72 FR 56415 (October 3, 2007) (SR-NYSE-2007-82).
    \8\ See Exchange Rule 124 subsections (c)(vi) (relating to
openings) and (c)(vii) (relating to trading halts).
    \9\ The Commission made minor clarifications to this paragraph
pursuant to a telephone call with the Exchange. See telephone call
among Jennifer Dodd, Special Counsel, Division of Trading and
Markets, Commission, Rahman Harrison, Special Counsel, Division of
Trading and Markets, Commission, and Gillian Rowe, Principal Rule
Counsel, NYSE, on November 19, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, Exchange systems handle odd-lot orders at the opening
and re-opening after a halt in trading as intended and as described
above. However, the Exchange states that the use of the word
``marketable'' \10\ in the rule text of subsections (c)(vi) and
(c)(vii) is not accurate. Specifically as it pertains to the open, an
order is neither marketable or non-marketable until the specialist
determines the opening price. As such, the rule text of subsection
(c)(vi) and (c)(vii) should not include the word marketable. Moreover,
the use of the term marketable in (c)(vii) technically excludes non-
marketable odd-lot limit orders accepted by Exchange systems prior to a
halt in trading that are subsequently eligible to receive an execution
based on the re-opening price from receiving an execution.\11\ This
would occur because the definition of marketable in the rule requires
the odd-lot limit order to have been marketable ``upon receipt by the
system.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Exchange Rule 124(c) which defines ``marketable odd-lot
orders'' as odd-lot market orders and odd-lot limit orders that are
marketable upon receipt.
    \11\ Exchange Rule 124(d) governs the execution and pricing of
odd-lot limit orders that are non-marketable upon receipt that
become marketable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the Exchange proposes in this filing to amend
subsection (c)(vi) of Exchange Rule 124 to clarify that odd-lot orders
entered into the Exchange systems before the opening transaction of the
subject security that would be eligible for execution based on the
price of the opening transaction shall be executed at the price of the
opening transaction. The Exchange further proposes to amend subsection
(c)(vii) to clarify that, in the event of a halt in trading on the
Exchange, odd-lot orders accepted by Exchange systems prior to, or
during, a halt in trading that are subsequently eligible to receive an
execution based on the re-opening price shall be executed at the price
of the re-opening transaction.
    The Exchange believes these amendments will accurately align the
rule text with the operation of Exchange systems in the handling of
odd-lot orders under these specific circumstances. However, the
Exchange will continue to monitor the recent changes to the processing
of odd-lots and confer with our constituents in order to evaluate
whether further change is necessary.
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)(5) of the Act,\13\ in particular, in that it is
designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The Exchange also states that the proposed rule change
also is designed to support the principles of section 11A(a)(1) \14\ in
that it seeks to assure economically efficient execution of securities
transactions, make it practicable for brokers to execute investors'
orders in the best market and provide an opportunity for investors'
orders to be executed without the participation of a dealer.

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change effects a change in an
existing order-entry or trading system of a self-regulatory
organization that does not (1) Significantly affect the protection of
investors of the public interest, (2) impose any significant burden on
competition, and (3) have the effect of limiting the access to or
availability of the system, it has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(5) thereunder.\16\

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

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

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0003; Airspace Docket No. 08-ASW-1]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Lexington, OK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E2 airspace at Lexington, OK.
Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft
using new RNAV Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Muldrow Army Heliport. The FAA proposes
this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) aircraft operations at Muldrow Army Heliport, Lexington,
OK.

DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC April 10, 2008. Comments for inclusion
in the rules Docket must be received March 27, 2008. 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.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001. You

Region, Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0530; telephone number<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse
or negative comments, and, therefore, issues it as a direct final rule.
Unless a written adverse or negative comment or a written notice of
intent to submit an adverse or negative comment is received within the
comment period, the regulation will become effective on the date
specified above. After the close of the comment period, the FAA will
publish a document in the Federal Register indicating that no adverse
or negative comments were received and confirming the effective date of
the rule. If the FAA receives, within the comment period, an adverse or
negative comment, or written comment notice of intent to submit such a
comment, a document withdrawing the direct final rule will be published
in the Federal Register, and a notice of proposed rulemaking may be
published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

    Although this action is in the form of a direct final rule, and was
not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking, interested persons are
invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, views,
or arguments as they may desire. An electronic copy of this document
may be downloaded from http://www.regulations.gov. Communications

should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in triplicate to
the address specified under the caption ADDRESSES above or through the
Web site. All communications received on or before the closing date for
comments will be considered, and this rule may be amended or withdrawn
in light of the comments received.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E2 airspace at Lexington, OK providing the
airspace required to support the new Copter RNAV (GPS) Runway 17
approach developed for IFR landings at Muldrow Army Heliport, OK. No
Class E2 airspace exists in the area so new airspace must be developed
which will serve IFR operations into Muldrow Army Heliport. Controlled
airspace extending upward from the surface is required to encompass all
SIAP and for the safety of IFR operations at Muldrow Army Heliport,
Lexington, OK. Designations for class E2 airspace areas extending
upward from the surface of the earth are published in the FAA Order
7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007 and effective September 15, 2007, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. Class E2 designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Agency Findings

    The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of government. Therefore, it is
determined that this final rule does not have federalism implication
under Executive Order 13132.
    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 establishes Class E2 airspace near Lexington, OK.

[Docket No. FRA-2010-0028]

CSX Transportation's Request To Amend Its Positive Train Control
Safety Plan and Positive Train Control System

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides the public with notice that, on
November 11, 2022, CSX Transportation (CSX) submitted an updated
request for amendment (RFA) to its FRA-approved Positive Train Control
Safety Plan (PTCSP). As this RFA may involve a request for FRA's
approval of proposed material modifications to an FRA-certified
positive train control (PTC) system, FRA is publishing this notice and
inviting public comment on the railroad's RFA to its PTCSP.

DATES: FRA will consider comments received by December 19, 2022. FRA
may consider comments received after that date to the extent
practicable and without delaying implementation of valuable or
necessary modifications to a PTC system.

ADDRESSES: Comments: Comments may be submitted by going to https://www.regulations.gov and following the online instructions for
submitting comments.
    Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and the
applicable docket number. The relevant PTC docket number for this host
railroad is Docket No. FRA-2010-0028. For convenience, all active PTC

this includes any personal information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gabe Neal, Staff Director, Signal,
Train Control, and Crossings Division, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, email:
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general, Title 49 United States Code
(U.S.C.) section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify that a host
railroad's PTC system complies with title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 236, subpart I, before the technology may be
operated in revenue service. Before making certain changes to an FRA-
certified PTC system or the associated FRA-approved PTCSP, a host
railroad must submit, and obtain FRA's approval of, an RFA to its PTCSP
under 49 CFR 236.1021.
    Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA's regulations provide that FRA will
publish a notice in the Federal Register and invite public comment in
accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an RFA includes a request for
approval of a material modification of a signal and train control
system. Accordingly, this notice informs the public that, on November
11, 2022, CSX submitted an updated RFA to its PTCSP for its
Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS) and that RFA
is available in Docket No. FRA-2010-0028.
    Interested parties are invited to comment on CSX's RFA to its PTCSP
by submitting written comments or data. During FRA's review of this
railroad's RFA, FRA will consider any comments or data submitted within
the timeline specified in this notice and to the extent practicable,
without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary modifications
to a PTC system. See 49 CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR 236.1011(e).
Under 49 CFR 236.1021, FRA maintains the authority to approve, approve
with conditions, or deny a railroad's RFA to its PTCSP at FRA's sole
discretion.

Privacy Act Notice

    In accordance with 49 CFR 211.3, FRA solicits comments from the
public to better inform its decisions. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to https://www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of
records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the privacy notice of regulations.gov. To facilitate
comment tracking, we encourage commenters to provide their name, or the
name of their organization; however, submission of names is completely
optional. If you wish to provide comments containing proprietary or
confidential information, please contact FRA for alternate submission
instructions.
