DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2019-0004-N-10]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

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

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, FRA seeks approval of the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below. Before submitting this ICR
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval, FRA is
soliciting public comment on specific aspects of the activities
identified below.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
August 13, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on these ICR activities by mail to
either: Mr. Robert Brogan, Information Collection Clearance Officer,
Office of Railroad Safety, Regulatory Analysis Division, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590; or Ms. Kim Toone, Information Collection Clearance Officer,
Office of Information Technology, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. Commenters requesting FRA
to acknowledge receipt of their respective comments must include a
self-addressed stamped postcard stating, ``Comments on OMB Control
Number 2130-NEW'' (the relevant OMB control number for the ICR is
listed below) and should also include the title of the ICR.
Alternatively, comments may be faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER> or (202) 493-
6497, or emailed to Mr. Brogan at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Ms. Toone
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please refer to the assigned OMB control number
in any correspondence submitted. FRA will summarize comments received
in response to this notice in a subsequent notice and include them in
its information collection submission to OMB for approval.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Brogan, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad Safety, Regulatory
Analysis Division, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>) or Ms. Kim
Toone, Information Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Information
Technology, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE,
Washington, DC 20590 (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days' notice to the public to allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB approval of the activities.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 1320.12. Specifically,
FRA invites interested parties to comment on the following ICRs
regarding: (1) Whether the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether
the activities will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's
estimates of the burden of the information collection activities,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for FRA to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (4) ways
for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on
the public, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5
CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
    FRA believes that soliciting public comment may reduce the
administrative and paperwork burdens associated with the collection of
information that Federal regulations mandate. In summary, FRA reasons
that comments received will advance three objectives: (1) Reduce
reporting burdens; (2) organize information collection requirements in
a ``user-friendly'' format to improve the use of such information; and
(3) accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
    The summary below describes the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
    Title: Inquiry into Blocked Highway-Rail Grade Crossings throughout
the United States.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-NEW.
    Abstract: FRA is interested in obtaining more information regarding
the frequency, location, and impacts of highway-rail grade crossings
blocked by slow-moving or idling trains. Currently, there are no
federal laws or regulations that specifically address how long a train
may occupy a crossing, whether idling or operating at slow speeds. Some
States and local municipalities have laws that vary in how long trains
are permitted to occupy crossings.
    There are potential safety concerns with crossings that are blocked
by trains. For instance, pedestrians may crawl under or through idling
trains. Also, emergency response vehicles and first responders may be
significantly delayed from responding to an incident or transporting
patients to a hospital. In addition, drivers may take more risks, such
as driving around lowered gates at a crossing or attempting to beat a
train through a crossing without gates, in order to avoid a lengthy
delay if they are aware that trains routinely block a crossing for
extended periods of time. There are also potential economic impacts
that affect businesses, such as stores or restaurants not being
accessible to a customer base for an extended period of time. Finally,
highway-rail grade crossings that are blocked for extended periods of
time may create societal nuisances, such as roadway congestion, late
mail service and deliveries, disrupted school and work arrival and
dismissal, or missed appointments.
    Over a recent two-year period, from April 1, 2017 to March 31,
2019, FRA's Office of Railroad Safety received 669 email complaints
about blocked crossings through FRA's ``Contact Us'' website. This web
page is used by the general public to submit any type of comment/
question to FRA's Office of Railroad Safety, not just reports of
blocked crossings. FRA proposes to add new dedicated links to its
existing website and its existing phone application (app) for users to
report blocked crossings. This would simplify the reporting of blocked
crossing information and standardize the data received about blocked
crossings.
    The proposed data collection would be conducted using three
methods:

    1. A link would be added to FRA's existing website directing a
user to a web-based form to submit information about a blocked
crossing to FRA. Access to this web-based form would be unrestricted
and available to the general public.
    2. A link would be added to the existing FRA phone app ``FRA
Crossing Locator App'' that will direct users to an app-based form
to submit information about a blocked crossing to FRA. Access to the
form on the phone app would be unrestricted and available to the
general public.
    3. A link would be added to FRA's existing website directing law
enforcement personnel to submit information about a blocked crossing
to FRA. Access for law enforcement personnel would be restricted to
users with a username and password and managed by FRA.

    Upon accessing the form, a user would be notified that there are no

federal laws or regulations that specifically address the length of
time a train may occupy a highway-rail grade crossing. The user would
be notified that the information submitted will not be forwarded to a
railroad, State, or local agency, and is only being used for data
collection purposes to determine the locations, times, and impacts of
blocked crossings. The questions asked on each form will be identical
for all three methods of collection.
    Type of Request: Approval of a new collection of information.
    Affected Public: Public individuals and law enforcement personnel.
    Form(s): FRA F 6180.XXX.
    Respondent Universe: General public and national law enforcement
personnel.
    Frequency of Submission: On occasion; one-time.

and a respondent is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R08-OAR-2016-0221; FRL-9948-89-Region 8]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan Revisions
to Permits, Rules and Approval Orders; Utah

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the State of Utah on February 10, 2012 and August 29,
2014. These submittals request SIP revisions to remove changes to the
major source baseline date that were disapproved by the EPA on July 15,
2011. The submittals also address the EPA's February 6, 2014
disapproval of several permit rules related to the public availability
of good engineering practice stack height demonstrations in the public
comment process for an approval order, and the process for making
emission reductions enforceable in an approval order. The EPA is taking
this action in accordance with section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on September 19, 2016 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by August 18, 2016. If
adverse comments are received, the EPA will publish a timely withdrawal
of the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public
that the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R08-
OAR-2016-0221, at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.,) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule?

    The EPA is publishing this rule without a prior proposed rule
because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no
adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's
Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document that will serve
as the proposed rule to approve the SIP revisions if adverse comments
are received on this direct final rule. We will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. For further information about commenting on
this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    If the EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this
direct final rule will not take effect. We would address all public
comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.

II. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for the EPA?

    A. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to the EPA
through www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk
or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI). In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
     Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other
identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and
page number).
     Follow directions--The agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
     Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives
and substitute language for your requested changes.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
     If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
     Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
use of profanity or personal threats.

     Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

III. Analysis of the State Submittals

    Utah's February 10, 2012 submittal removes changes to the major
source baseline date that were disapproved by the EPA on July 15, 2011.
The EPA disapproved R307-405-3(3)(a)(i) because it defined ``Major
Source Baseline Date'' in a manner inconsistent with the federal
definition found at 40 CFR 52.21(b)(14). The EPA approves these
revisions.
    The August 29, 2014 SIP revisions address the EPA's February 6,
2014 disapproval of R307-410-2, Permits: Emissions Impact Analysis,
Definitions; R307-410-6, Permits: Emissions Impact Analysis, Stack
Heights and Dispersion Techniques; and R307-401-12, Permit: New and
Modified Sources, Reduction in Air Contaminants. The submittal also
amends R307-410-2 to incorporate by reference the date of the Code of
Federal Regulations referenced in R307-101-3. The EPA approves these
revisions. The submittal amends R307-410-6 to require the director to
notify the public of the availability of a demonstration that the
source stack height meets good engineering practice, and to provide an
opportunity for public hearing on it as required by 40 CFR 51.164. This
conforms to what is required by R307-401-7, Public Notice, and the EPA
approves this revision.
    Finally, the submittal amends R307-401-12 to exempt an owner or
operator of a stationary source of air contaminants that reduces or
eliminates air contaminants from the requirement to submit a notice of
intent and obtain an approval order prior to construction if certain
conditions are met. Those conditions are: a) the project does not
increase the potential to emit of any air contaminant or cause
emissions of any new air contaminant; and b) the director is notified
of the change and the reduction of air contaminants is made enforceable
through an approval order in accordance with the notification
requirements of R307-401-12. The EPA approves these revisions.

IV. What action is the EPA taking today?

    The EPA is taking direct final action to approve the SIP revisions
submitted by the State of Utah on February 10, 2012 and August 29,
2014. The EPA is approving the proposed SIP revisions as a direct final
action without prior proposal because the agency views the revisions as
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. However, in the
Proposed Rules section of today's Federal Register publication, the EPA
is publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the SIP revisions if adverse comments are filed. This rule will
be effective September 19, 2016 without further notice unless the
Agency receives adverse comments by August 18, 2016. If the EPA
receives adverse comments, the EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in
the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. The EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final
rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. Please note that if the EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may
adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of
an adverse comment.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Utah
rules described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below.
Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion
in the State Implementation Plan, have been incorporated by reference
by the EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of the EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference
by the Director of the Federal Register in the next update to the SIP
compilation.\1\ The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and/or at the
EPA Region 8 Office (please contact the person identified in the ``For
Further Information Contact'' section of this preamble for more
information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable federal regulations 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
actions, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this direct final action merely approves a state law as
meeting federal requirements and does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this
action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
in a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045(62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated
that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the
rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. The 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 the rule in the Federal Register. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in
the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by September 19, 2016. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed
rules section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an
immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so
that the EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the
comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

    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 July 7, 2020, Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed

prepared by the Exchange.\3\ 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.
    \3\ The Commission notes that the Exchange filed this proposed
rule change on July 1, 2020 (SR-ISE-2020-27). On July 7, 2020, the
Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to further extend the filing requirements for
certain written reports pursuant to Options 10, Section 7, currently
due June 30, 2020, to July 31, 2020.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/ise/rules, 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
    Given current and ongoing market conditions, the Exchange proposes
to provide its members with continued temporary relief from filing
certain supervision-related reports pursuant to Options 10, Section 7
(Supervision of Accounts).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange notes that ISE Options 10, including Section 7,
is incorporated by reference into the rulebooks of Nasdaq GEMX, LLC
(``GEMX'') and Nasdaq MRX, LLC (``MRX''). As such, the amendments to
ISE Options 10, Section 7 proposed herein will also impact GEMX and
MRX Options 10, Section 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In December 2019, COVID-19 began to spread and disrupt company
operations and supply chains and impact consumers and investors,
resulting in a dramatic slowdown in production and spending.\5\ By
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as
a pandemic.\6\ To slow the spread of the disease, federal and state
officials implemented social-distancing measures, placed significant
limitations on large gatherings, limited travel, and closed non-
essential businesses. These measures have affected the U.S. markets.\7\
In the United States, Level 1 market wide circuit breaker halts were
triggered on March 9, March 12, March 16, and March 18, 2020. While
markets have seen significant declines, governments around the world
are undertaking efforts to stabilize the economy and assist affected
companies and their employees.\8\ While many state governments recently
relaxed some social distancing measures and permitted the limited
reopening of non-essential businesses, many state governments have now
paused the reopening of non-essential businesses due to increased
infection rates. Significant uncertainty remains.

extent necessary or appropriate, provide guidance and other
assistance to issuers and other market participants regarding
disclosures related to the current and potential effects of the
coronavirus. We recognize that such effects may be difficult to
assess or predict with meaningful precision both generally and as an
industry- or issuer-specific basis. This is an uncertain issue where
actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and
knowledge of issuers.'').

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

    Amidst this continued and unprecedented market uncertainty, the
Exchange sought to address potential challenges that members may face
in timely meeting their obligations to submit to the Exchange annual
supervision-related reports under Options 10, Sections 7(g) and (h)
(``Supervision Reporting Requirements''), especially in light of
unforeseen and uncertain demands on resources required to respond to
COVID-19. Options 10, Section 7(g) requires each Exchange member that
conducts a non-member customer business to submit to the Exchange a
written report on the member's supervision and compliance effort during
the preceding year and on the adequacy of the member's ongoing
compliance processes and procedures. Each member that conducts a public
customer options business is also required to specifically include its
options compliance program in the report.\9\ The Section 7(g) report is
due on April 1 of each year. Options 10, Section 7(h) requires that
each member submit, by April 1 of each year, a copy of the Section 7(g)
report to one or more control persons or, if the member has no control
person, to the audit committee of its board of directors or its
equivalent committee or group.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The report shall include, but not be limited to, the
information set out in Options 10, Section 7(g)(1)-(6).
    \10\ See Options 10, Section 7(h) for the meaning of the term
``control person'' and requirements in the case of a control person
that is an organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On each of March 31, 2020 and June 2, 2020, the Exchange filed a
proposal to temporarily extend the filing requirements for these annual
supervision-related reports from April 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020, and
from June 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, respectively.\11\ In light of the
continued market uncertainty, the Exchange is again seeking to address
potential challenges that certain members continue to face in timely
meeting their obligations to submit to the Exchange annual supervision-
related reports. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to provide
additional, temporary relief for members from the Supervision Reporting
Requirements by further extending the June 30, 2020 filing deadlines
described above to July 31, 2020. The Exchange believes that this
additional, temporary relief will permit those members who have been
unable to submit their annual supervision-related reports to continue
to focus on running their businesses and the health crisis caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on their employees,
customers, and communities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88827 (March 31,
2020), 85 FR 19190 (April 6, 2020) (Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Temporarily Extend Certain
Filing Requirement); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88994 (June
2, 2020), 85 FR 35131 (June 8, 2020) (Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Further Extend the Deadline
for Certain Written Supervisory-Related Reports Pursuant to Options
10, Section 7 (Supervision of Accounts).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that in response to COVID-19, the Financial
Industry Reporting Authority (``FINRA'') recently reissued temporary
relief for member firms by, among other things, extending the deadline
for submitting its supervision-related reports (FINRA Rule 3120 Report
and FINRA Rule 3130 certification) from its second extension deadlines
of June 30, 2020 \12\ to July 31, 2020.\13\ The Exchange notes, too,
that at least one other options exchange that had twice previously
extended the supervisory report deadlines from April 1 to June 1 and
then from June 1 to June 30 for its members,\14\ also plans to

submit a similar filing to, again, extend its deadlines through July
31, 2020. In light of these deadline extensions, the Exchange believes
that a consistent regulatory approach is important and therefore that
extending its deadline would avoid unnecessary confusion and added
burden among entities that are members of both the Exchange and FINRA
because the deadline to submit supervisory reports would remain
uniform.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See FINRA Regulatory Notice 20-08 (March 9, 2020) available
at https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/notices/20-08.
    \13\ See FINRA Regulatory Notice 20-08, FAQs, Supervision (June
29, 2020) available at https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/key-topics/covid-19/faq#supe.
    \14\ See Securities Exchange Act No. 88528 (March 31, 2020), 85
FR 19196 (April 6, 2020) (SR-CBOE-2020-029).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\15\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\16\ 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. As a result of continued uncertainty related to the ongoing
spread of the COVID-19 virus, the U.S. exchanges are experiencing
unprecedented market volatility. The proposed rule change would allow
the Exchange to continue to provide temporary relief to those members
who continue to be unable to comply with the Supervision Reporting
Requirements, which were amended twice already--most recently to
require members to provide written reports to the Exchange by June 30,
2020, and further extend that deadline to July 31, 2020. The Exchange
believes that this additional, temporary relief is necessary and
appropriate in the public interest, and consistent with the protection
of investors, given the unforeseen and uncertain challenges, including
business continuity implementation and market volatility, posed by
COVID-19 to members that must comply with the Supervision Reporting
Requirements. The Exchange also believes that it is necessary and
appropriate in the public interest, and consistent with the protection
of investors, because FINRA has also re-extended twice the time for its
members to file supervision-related reports, most recently from June
30, 2020 to July 31, 2020.\17\ Additionally, as indicated above, at
least one other options exchange that had previously extended the
supervisory report deadlines twice, from April 1 to June 1 and again
from June 1 to June 30 for its members,\18\ plans to submit a similar
filing to re-extend its deadlines through July 31, 2020. Extending the
deadline, therefore, will ensure that those entities that are members
of both FINRA and the Exchange have a uniform deadline to submit their
supervisory reports.

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \17\ See supra note 11.
    \18\ See supra note 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is not
designed to address any competitive issues but rather to provide
temporary relief for all members that are required to comply with the
Supervision Reporting Requirements.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \19\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \21\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \22\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so
that the proposed rule change may become operative upon filing. The
Commission notes that the proposed rule change would allow the
Exchange, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide temporary
relief for members by further extending the deadline for written
reports pursuant to the Supervision Reporting Requirements from June
30, 2020, to July 31, 2020. The Commission believes that waiver of the
30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the
operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon
filing.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \22\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \23\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP22-41-000]

Cameron LNG, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Cameron LNG Amended Expansion Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Cameron LNG Amended Expansion Project, proposed by Cameron LNG, LLC
(Cameron LNG) in the above-referenced docket. Cameron LNG requests
several design modifications and enhancements to the approved Cameron
Expansion Project at its existing liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal
located in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Cameron LNG Amended Expansion Project
in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the
proposed project amendment, with appropriate mitigating measures, would
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
    The U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Transportation's
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and U.S. Coast
Guard participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the
EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and
participate in the NEPA analysis.
    Cameron LNG proposes to amend its authorization under section 3 of
the Natural Gas Act for the Cameron Expansion Project that was issued
by the Commission on May 5, 2016 (Docket No. CP15-560-000).
Specifically, Cameron LNG proposes to modify the approved Train 4 and
perform associated design enhancements; and to no longer construct
Train 5 or Tank 5. In addition, Cameron LNG proposes an additional
design enhancement to allow for the capability to simultaneously load
two LNG vessels at a rate of 12,000 cubic meters/hour at both the North
and South Jetties. The proposed amendment is intended to increase the
overall reliability and capacity of Train 4 and eliminate impacts from
construction and operation of Train 5. The overall maximum production
capacity of the Amended Expansion Project would be reduced from 9.97 to
6.75 million tonnes per annum.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
EA to federal, state, and local government representatives and
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American Tribes; potentially affected landowners and other
interested individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. The EA is only available in

electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC's
website (www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas environmental documents page
(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In addition, the EA may be accessed by using
the eLibrary link on the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link

    The EA is not a decision document. It presents Commission staff's
independent analysis of the environmental issues for the Commission to
consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it
is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 3, 2023.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
