ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9984-76--Region 3]

Notice of Tentative Approval and Opportunity for Public Comment
and Public Hearing for Public Water System Supervision Program Revision
for Maryland

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of approval and solicitation of requests for public
hearing.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Maryland is revising
its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Maryland has
adopted drinking water regulations for the Revised Total Coliform Rule.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that
Maryland's Revised Total Coliform Rule meets all minimum federal
requirements, and that it is no less stringent than the corresponding
federal regulation. Therefore, EPA has tentatively decided to approve
the State program revisions.

DATES: Comments or a public hearing must be submitted by October 31,
2018. This determination shall become final and effective on October
31, 2018, if no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is
received, and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a
hearing on his own motion, and if no comments are received which cause
EPA to modify its tentative approval.

ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029. All documents relating to this
determination are available for inspection between the hours of 8 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the following offices:
     Drinking Water Branch, Water Protection Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Region III, 1650 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029.
     Water Supply Program, Maryland Department of the
Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21230.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kelly Moran, Drinking Water Branch
(3WP21) at the Philadelphia address given above, via email at
[email protected], or telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit
written comments on this determination and may request a hearing. All
comments will be considered, and if necessary EPA will issue a
response. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing will be
denied by the Regional Administrator. If a substantial request for a
public hearing is made by October 31, 2018, a public hearing will be
held. A request for public hearing shall include the following: (1) The
name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or
other entity requesting a hearing; (2) a brief statement of the
requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's
determination and of information that the requesting person intends to
submit at such hearing; and (3) the signature of the individual making
the request; or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the
organization or other entity.

    Dated: September 18, 2018.
Cosmo Servidio,
Regional Administrator.

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0996]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Hydroplane Races Within the Captain of
the Port Puget Sound Area of Responsibility

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a special local regulation to
restrict vessel movement in designated permanent hydroplane race areas
in Dyes Inlet, Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, WA during permitted
hydroplane race events. When this special local regulation is
activated, and thus subject to enforcement, this rule will limit the
movement of non-participating vessels within the regulated race areas
immediately prior to, during and immediately following the conclusion
of permitted hydroplane marine events. This rule is needed to provide
effective control over these events while ensuring the safety of the
maritime public.

DATES: This rule is effective March 29, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as
documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket,
are part of docket USCG-2009-0996 and are available online by going to
http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2009-0996 in the ``Keyword''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On Tuesday, January 19, 2010, we published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) entitled Safety Zone Regulation; Hydroplane Races
within the Captain of the Port Puget Sound Area of Responsibility in
the Federal Register (75 FR 2833). On Wednesday, January 19, 2011, we
published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM),
revising the rulemaking to create a special local regulation
designating three permanent hydroplane race areas under 33 CFR part 100
in the Federal Register (76 FR 3057). We did not receive any comments
on the NPRM or SNPRM and did not receive any requests for a public
meeting. A public meeting was not held.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Immediate action is necessary to
protect life, property and the environment; therefore, a 30-day notice
is impracticable. Delaying the effective date would be contrary to the
intended objective of promoting safety during these permitted events
because the ULHRA Spring Training takes place on 21 April 2011 in the
Lake Washington designated race area and this is less than 30 days
after publication in the Federal Register.

Basis and Purpose

    The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing special local regulations to
establish three permanent designated hydroplane race areas in Dyes
Inlet, Lake Washington, and Lake Sammamish, WA within the Captain of
the Port, Puget Sound Area of Responsibility. This action is necessary
in order to restrict vessel movement in the vicinity of the race
courses thereby promoting safety on navigable waters during these
events.

Background

    The Coast Guard receives numerous marine event permits for
hydroplane races taking place on the waterways of Dyes Inlet, Lake
Washington, and Lake Sammamish, WA. This rule establishes a special
local regulation to restrict vessel movement in designated hydroplane
race areas during permitted hydroplane marine events. This rule enables
event sponsors and the Coast Guard to adequately provide safety in
support of these marine events.

Initial Enforcement

    The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulation for Lake
Washington in 33 CFR 100.1308 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on April 21,
2011.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The notice of proposed rulemaking and supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking for this rule did not receive any comments.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following small entities: The owners or
operators of vessels intending to transit or anchor within these
designated hydroplane race areas while enforced on the waters of
northern Dyes Inlet, Lake Washington, and Lake Sammamish, Washington.
This proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because it is small in size and
short in duration. The only vessels likely to be impacted will be
recreational boaters.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or Tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have Tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and

have concluded this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule involves a special
local regulation to establish vessel movement restrictions in
designated race areas immediately prior to, during and immediately
following permitted hydroplane race events. An environmental analysis
checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100

    Marine safety, Navigation (water).

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 100 as follows:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52675; File No. SR-PCX-2005-75]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Pacific Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval to a Proposed Rule
Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto Relating to Offers of Settlement

October 25, 2005.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on June 13, 2005, the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'' or
``Exchange'') 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. On September
21, 2005, PCX submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\3\
The Commission is publishing this notice and order to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons and
simultaneously is approving the proposal, as amended, on an accelerated
basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    PCX is proposing to amend PCX Rule 10.6 pertaining to offers of
settlement. The text of the proposed rule change, as amended, is
available on PCX's Web site (http://www.pacificex.com), at the PCX'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 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 III 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange states that the purpose of the proposed rule change is
to revise the procedures for offers of settlement submitted in Exchange
enforcement actions against Options Trading Permit (``OTP'') Holders
and OTP Firms in order to make the disciplinary process more efficient
and effective while maintaining appropriate OTP Holder and OTP Firm
involvement in the oversight of the settlement process.
    Currently, all offers of settlement, whether contested or
uncontested by the Exchange's Department of Enforcement, are considered
by the Ethics and Business Conduct Committee (``EBCC'') for acceptance
or rejection. If an offer of settlement is accepted by the EBCC, the
EBCC issues a decision, and the Respondent \4\ cannot seek review of
the decision. EBCC decisions are then submitted to the PCX Board of
Directors (the ``Board'') in order to provide the Board with an
opportunity to accept or reject the offer of settlement. This process
is subject to the delays occurring between the time when the EBCC
accepts an offer of settlement and the time when the Board subsequently
reviews the accepted offer of settlement. Consequently, the imposition
of disciplinary measures intended to prevent misconduct and maintain
the integrity of the marketplace are also delayed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See PCX Rule 10.4 (defining ``Respondent'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposed rule change, an offer of settlement would be
``uncontested'' when a Respondent makes an offer and the Department of
Enforcement does not oppose it.\5\ In cases of uncontested offers of
settlement made before a complaint has been issued, the General Counsel
of the Exchange would have the authority to accept or reject the offers
and decisions.\6\ Similarly, in cases of uncontested offers of
settlement made after a complaint has been issued but before the
hearing on the merits, the General Counsel of the Exchange would have
the authority to accept or reject the offers and decisions.\7\ Finally,
in cases of uncontested offers of settlement made after a hearing on
the merits has begun, the Conduct Panel for the hearing would have the
authority to accept or reject offers and decisions.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(e)(1). The Commission notes that
the Exchange's Department of Enforcement would transmit the
Respondent's uncontested offer of settlement, along with a proposed
decision, to either the Exchange's General Counsel or the Conduct
Panel, as appropriate.
    \6\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(e)(2). When a Respondent submits an
offer of settlement, the Department of Enforcement drafts a decision
accepting the offer and submits both documents to the appropriate
body. See Letter from Alden Adkins, Chief Regulatory Officer, PCX,
to Katherine A. England, Assistant Director, Division of Market
Regulation, Commission, dated October 6, 2005.
    \7\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(e)(3).
    \8\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(e)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any offer of settlement opposed by the Department of Enforcement
would be ``contested.'' \9\ Under the proposal, Respondents would not
be permitted to submit contested offers of settlement for consideration
by the EBCC or the Conduct Panel before a complaint has been
issued.\10\ In cases of contested offers of settlement made after a
complaint has been issued but before a hearing on the merits has begun,
the EBCC would have the authority to accept or reject the offers and
decisions,\11\ which is consistent with current PCX practices. In cases
of contested offers of settlement made after a hearing on the merits
has begun, the Conduct Panel would have the authority to accept or
reject the offers and decisions.\12\ Any offer of settlement submitted
by a Respondent to the Conduct Panel after a hearing on the merits has
begun would not stay the proceedings, unless the Conduct Panel decides
to stay the proceedings.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(f)(1). The Commission notes that
the Exchange's Department of Enforcement would transmit the
Respondent's contested offer of settlement, along with a proposed
decision, to either the EBCC or the Conduct Panel, as appropriate.
    \10\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(f)(2).
    \11\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(f)(3).
    \12\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(f)(4).
    \13\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All offers of settlement would become final upon acceptance by the
General Counsel of the Exchange, the EBCC, or the Conduct Panel, as
appropriate, and thus Board approval of offers of settlement would no
longer be required. Under the proposal, the Board and the EBCC would
review on a quarterly basis all offers of settlement after-the-fact to
provide guidance and feedback to the Department of Enforcement and the
General Counsel of the Exchange concerning appropriate settlement
practices and amounts.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(k). Neither the Board's nor the
EBCC's action will affect any issued decisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the proposed rule change sets forth certain
requirements with which offers of settlement must comply.\15\ These
requirements include that the offer be in writing and signed by the
person making the offer, and that the offer set forth certain details
stating

the statutory provisions or rules alleged to have been violated, the
acts or practices that the OTP Holder or OTP Firm is alleged to have
engaged in or omitted, findings of fact, proposed sanctions, and the
effective date of such proposed sanctions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the proposed rule change sets forth certain rights that a
Respondent waives upon submission of an offer of settlement to the PCX.
In particular, a Respondent waives his right to: (1) Claim bias or
prejudgment by certain individuals; (2) appeal before PCX committees,
the Commission, and federal, state, and local courts; and (3) claim
violations of the ex parte prohibitions of PCX Rule 10.3.\16\ The
Exchange believes that waiver of such rights is appropriate in light of
the proposed rule's intent, which is to create a more efficient and
effective disciplinary process.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See proposed PCX Rule 10(d).
    \17\ Paragraph (j) of the proposed rule change provides that a
Respondent shall not be prejudiced by an offer of settlement that is
rejected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with section 6(b) of the Act \18\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(5) of the Act \19\ in particular, because it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system.

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

November 22, 2005.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\20\ Specifically, the Commission believes that the proposal
is consistent with section 6(b)(7) of the Act,\21\ which requires that
the rules of an exchange provide a fair procedure for the discipline of
its members and persons associated with its members. The Commission
also believes that the proposal is reasonably designed to provide a
more efficient disciplinary process to address violations of the
Exchange's rules and the federal securities laws by the Exchange's
members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ In approving this proposed rule change, as amended, the
Commission has considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the Exchange's proposal, a Respondent may propose an
uncontested offer of settlement to the Exchange's Department of
Enforcement in response to the initiation of a disciplinary inquiry by
the Department of Enforcement.\22\ If the Respondent submits an
uncontested offer of settlement before a hearing on the merits has
begun, then the Department of Enforcement would transmit the
uncontested offer, along with a proposed decision, to the Exchange's
General Counsel for consideration. Specifically, if a Respondent
submits an uncontested offer of settlement before the issuance of a
complaint, and the General Counsel accepts it, then the Department of
Enforcement would issue the decision and notify the parties. If a
Respondent submits an uncontested offer of settlement after the
Department of Enforcement has issued a complaint, and the General
Counsel accepts it, then the General Counsel would issue the decision
and notify the parties. Finally, if the Respondent submits an
uncontested offer of settlement after a hearing on the merits has
begun, then the Department of Enforcement would transmit the
uncontested offer, along with a proposed decision, to the Conduct Panel
for consideration. If the Conduct Panel accepts the decision, then the
General Counsel would issue the decision and notify the parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ The Exchange represents that it contacts a Respondent
before any complaint is issued, such that the Respondent would be in
a position to ascertain whether the terms of any contemplated offer
of settlement would be ``uncontested'' or ``contested'' by the
Exchange's Department of Enforcement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the involvement of the Exchange's
General Counsel in considering uncontested offers of settlement
submitted before a hearing on the merits has begun should be an
appropriate safeguard and provides for an appropriate separation of
functions at the Exchange. Further, the Commission believes that the
proposal is reasonably designed to advance the interests of the
Exchange's Department of Enforcement in efficiently and expeditiously
resolving

disciplinary cases when an uncontested offer of settlement is made
before the commencement of a hearing on the merits without the
involvement of the EBCC, while providing for review and consideration
of possible violations. In particular, the Commission believes that the
involvement of the Department of Enforcement and General Counsel in
considering and rendering decisions on uncontested offers of settlement
before the commencement of a hearing on the merits is appropriate,
given the Respondent's choice to propose settlement terms that the
Exchange's Department of Enforcement considers acceptable.
    Additionally, the proposal allows a Respondent, after a complaint
has been issued, to submit an offer of settlement for consideration
that is otherwise opposed on its terms, i.e., contested, by the
Exchange's Department of Enforcement. If submitted before a hearing on
the merits, a contested offer of settlement would be considered by the
EBCC. If a Respondent submits a contested offer of settlement after a
hearing on the merits has begun, the offer would be considered by the
Conduct Panel. The Commission believes that this process is reasonably
designed to allow Respondents to have their contested offers of
settlement considered by the EBCC or the Conduct Panel when the offer
would otherwise be opposed by the Exchange's Department of Enforcement.
In addition, the Commission believes that this process balances the
Exchange's interests in achieving efficient resolutions of disciplinary
matters with its members' interests in having a process through which
they can submit contested offers of settlement for consideration by the
EBCC or the Conduct Panel. The Commission notes that under current PCX
Rule 10, all offers of settlement are considered by the EBCC.
    In particular, the Commission notes that contested offers of
settlement submitted after the issuance of a complaint but before the
commencement of a hearing on the merits would be considered by the
EBCC, and contested offers of settlement submitted after the issuance
of a complaint and after the commencement of a hearing on the merits
would be considered by the Conduct Panel. The Commission believes that
this procedure provides a fair process by which the Exchange's members
may take their contested offers of settlement before the EBCC or
Conduct Panel, both of which are comprised primarily of the OTP Holders
or allied persons of OTP Firms.
    Moreover, the proposed rule change sets forth in detail provisions
relating to the content and signature requirements for offers of
settlement, as well as waivers of certain rights upon submission of an
offer of settlement. Additionally, the proposal provides for quarterly
review by the EBCC and the Board Appeals Committee of final
disciplinary actions in order to provide the Department of Enforcement
and General Counsel with guidance on future settlement practices and
settlement amounts. The Commission believes that this provision is
reasonably designed to provide for EBCC and Board input, albeit on a
prospective basis only, on the Exchange's disciplinary program, thereby
providing a mechanism for the Board to comply with the self-regulatory
organization's responsibility to maintain an adequate and effective
disciplinary system.
    The Commission finds good cause for approving this proposal before
the thirtieth day after the publication of notice thereof in the
Federal Register. Accelerating approval of the proposal will allow the
Exchange to implement, without undue delay, a more efficient process
for reviewing and deciding upon offers of settlement, while maintaining
OTP Holder and OTP Firm involvement in the settlement process. In
addition, the Commission notes that the NASD has a substantially
similar rule with respect to offers of settlement.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\23\ that the proposed rule change, as amended (SR-PCX-2005-75), is
hereby approved on an accelerated basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0933; FRL-9342-2]

Imidacloprid, Methomyl, and Oxamyl; Cancellation Order for
Amendments To Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for amendments to terminate
uses, voluntarily requested by registrants and accepted by the Agency,
of products containing imidacloprid, methomyl, and oxamyl, pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows a January 11,
2012 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II to voluntarily amend certain
imidacloprid pesticide registrations to terminate use on almonds, to
voluntarily amend certain methomyl product registrations to delete use
on grapes, and to voluntarily amend oxamyl product registrations to
delete use on soybeans. These are not the last products containing
imidacloprid, methomyl, or oxamyl registered for use in the United
States. In the January 11, 2012 Notice, EPA indicated that it would
issue an order implementing the amendments to terminate uses, unless
the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment
period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless
the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation
order granting the requested amendments to terminate uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The amendments are effective April 11, 2012.

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

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the January 11, 2012 Federal Register Notice announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary amendments to delete
uses of products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.

 IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
amendments to terminate use of imidacloprid on almonds, methomyl on
grapes, and oxamyl on soybeans for the product registrations identified
in Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are amended to
terminate the affected uses. The effective date of the cancellations
that are the subject of this notice is April 11, 2012. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Table 1 of Unit II in a manner inconsistent with any of
the provisions for disposition of existing stocks set forth in Unit VI
will be a violation of FIFRA.

V. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the EPA Administrator may approve
such a request. The notice of receipt for this action was published for
comment on January 11, 2012 (77 FR 1684) (FRL-9328-2). The comment
period closed on February 10, 2012.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. The existing stock provisions for the products subject to this
order are as follows.
    Once EPA has approved amended imidacloprid product labels
reflecting the requested amendments to delete use on almonds,
registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products listed in
Table 1 of Unit II under the previously approved labeling until October
11, 2013, a period of 18 months after publication of the cancellation
order in this Federal Register, unless other

restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, imidacloprid registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose
labels include the deleted use identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17, or for proper disposal.
    For methomyl, now that EPA has approved amended product labels
reflecting the requested amendments to delete use on grapes, the
registrants are permitted to sell or distribute products under the
previously approved labeling until June 8, 2012. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing the
products whose labels include the deleted use identified in Table 1 of
Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for
proper disposal.
    For imidacloprid and methomyl, persons other than the registrants
may sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of products whose labels
include the deleted uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that
such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the deleted uses.
    For the oxamyl voluntary amendment, use on soybeans was removed
from all oxamyl product labels in 2006 following the Oxamyl
Reregistration Eligibility Decision. Because the soybean use has not
been included on oxamyl product labels since 2006, no existing stocks
period is needed.

List of Subjects

    Environmental protection, almond, imidacloprid, grape, methomyl,
soybean, oxamyl, Pesticides and pests.

Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, with the exception of projects that meet the
eligibility criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing percentage
under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to section 428 of the Stafford
Act.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
