SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Rule 19d-3; SEC File No. 270-245; OMB Control No. 3235-0204]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing collection of
information provided for in Rule 19d-3 (17 CFR 240.19d-3)--Applications
for Review of Final Disciplinary Sanctions, Denials of Membership,
Participation or Association, or Prohibitions or Limitations of Access
to Services Imposed by Self-Regulatory Organizations. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 19d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.) prescribes the form and content of applications to the
Commission by persons desiring stays of final disciplinary sanctions
and summary action of self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') for
which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The

Commission uses the information provided in the application filed
pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken by SROs including:
(1) Disciplinary sanctions; (2) denials of membership, participation or
association; and (3) prohibitions on or limitations of access to SRO
services.
    It is estimated that approximately 15 respondents will utilize this
application procedure annually, with a total burden of 270 hours, for
all respondents to complete all submissions. This figure is based upon
past submissions. The staff estimates that the average number of hours
necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-3 is 18 hours.
The average cost per hour, to complete each submission, is
approximately $101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for all
respondents is $27,270. (15 submissions x 18 hours x $101 per hour).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Purpose of the Public Hearing

    Fecal microbiota collected from healthy individuals are being
investigated for use in the treatment of C. difficile infection.
Published data suggest that the use of fecal microbiota to restore
intestinal flora may be an effective therapy in the management of C.
difficile infection not responsive to standard therapies. However, the
efficacy and safety profiles of this intervention have not yet been
fully evaluated in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.
    FMT administered to treat C. difficile infection meets the
definition of a biological product, as defined in section 351(i) of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 262(i)), and the definition
of a drug within the meaning of section 201(g) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321(g)). As a biological product, FMT
administered to treat C. difficile infection is subject to the
licensing requirements set forth in section 351 of the PHS Act. FDA has
received public comments from some stakeholders suggesting that FMT
might be regulated as a human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-
based product (HCT/P; see 21 CFR part 1271). FMT is a live
biotherapeutic product composed of microorganisms. Microorganisms are
not human cells or tissues and do not meet the definition of HCT/P (see
21 CFR 1271.3(d)). The hearing will not

include discussions about these comments.
    In the Federal Register of July 18, 2013 (78 FR 42965), following a
public workshop, held on May 2 and 3, 2013, entitled ``Fecal Microbiota
for Transplantation,'' FDA announced the availability of a guidance for
industry entitled ``Enforcement Policy Regarding Investigational New
Drug Requirements for Use of Fecal Microbiota for Transplantation to
Treat Clostridium difficile Infection Not Responsive to Standard
Therapies'' (July 2013 Guidance) (available at: https://www.fda.gov/media/86440/download). The July 2013 Guidance, which is still in
effect, informed members of the medical and scientific communities and
other interested persons that we intend to exercise enforcement
discretion regarding the investigational new drug (IND) requirements
for the use of FMT to treat C. difficile infection not responding to
standard therapies, provided that the treating physician obtains
adequate consent from the patient or his or her legally authorized
representative for the use of FMT products. The guidance states that
consent should include, at a minimum, a statement that the use of FMT
products to treat C. difficile is investigational and a discussion of
its potential risks.
    In the Federal Register of February 26, 2014 (79 FR 10814), we
announced the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled
``Enforcement Policy Regarding Investigational New Drug Requirements
for Use of Fecal Microbiota for Transplantation to Treat Clostridium
difficile Infection Not Responsive to Standard Therapies'' (March 2014
Draft Guidance). The March 2014 Draft Guidance informed members of the
medical and scientific communities and other interested persons that we
intended to exercise enforcement discretion regarding the IND
requirements for the use of FMT to treat C. difficile infection not
responding to standard therapies, provided: (1) The licensed healthcare
provider treating the patient obtains adequate consent from the patient
or his or her legally authorized representative for use of the FMT
product; (2) the FMT product is obtained from a donor known to either
the patient or the licensed healthcare provider treating the patient;
and (3) the stool donor and stool are qualified by screening and
testing performed under the direction of the licensed healthcare
provider for the purpose of providing the FMT product to treat his or
her patient. FDA received many public comments in favor of patient
access to FMT to treat C. difficile, including access to FMT products
from stool banks, but objecting to the provision that the donor be
known to the patient or the treating licensed healthcare provider.
    After considering the comments on the March 2014 Draft Guidance, in
the Federal Register of March 1, 2016 (81 FR 10632), FDA announced the
availability of a revised draft guidance for industry entitled
``Enforcement Policy Regarding Investigational New Drug Requirements
for Use of Fecal Microbiota for Transplantation to Treat Clostridium
difficile Infection Not Responsive to Standard Therapies'' (March 2016
Draft Guidance) (available at: https://www.fda.gov/media/96562/download). The March 2016 Draft Guidance replaced the March 2014 Draft
Guidance and proposed to revise our policy with regard to patient
access to FMT product. We noted that centralized manufacturing in stool
banks presents safety concerns related to the use of FMT from a limited
number of donors administered to multiple patients. Therefore, we
stated that FDA does not intend to extend enforcement discretion with
respect to the IND requirements applicable to stool banks distributing
FMT products. We stated that the sponsor's compliance with the IND
requirements would help to ensure that the stool donor and stool are
appropriately qualified by screening and testing and that centralized
processing of FMT adheres to appropriate current good manufacturing
conditions. FDA received many public comments on this draft guidance,
and we are continuing to evaluate our enforcement policy.
    The purpose of this public hearing is to obtain public input on the
state of the science regarding FMT to treat C. difficile infection not
responsive to standard therapies, including the available clinical
evidence for safety and effectiveness of FMT for this use and to
understand better the impact of FDA's enforcement policy on product
development.

II. Issues for Consideration and Request for Data and Information

    FDA would like input from stakeholders, including patients,
clinicians, research scientists, industry, healthcare providers, and
stool banks. We encourage public comments and presentations at the
public hearing. If submitting comments, data, and information to the
docket, please identify available references for the data and
information, as well as the general category area and specific question
listed below.
    As noted above, fecal microbiota collected from healthy individuals
are being investigated for use in the treatment of C. difficile
infection. Published data suggest that the use of fecal microbiota to
restore intestinal flora may be an effective therapy in the management
of refractory C. difficile infection. However, the efficacy and safety
profiles of this intervention have not yet been fully evaluated in
controlled clinical trials. To inform FDA's understanding of the
current scientific status of FMT, especially as it relates to the use
of FMT to treat C. difficile infection not responsive to standard
therapies, we are interested in obtaining information, including data
and studies, from all stakeholders, including patients, clinicians,
research scientists, industry, healthcare providers and stool banks on
the following topics:

1. Clinical Evidence of Effectiveness

     What is the strength of the evidence for the use of FMT to
treat C. difficile infection not responsive to standard therapies?
     Please identify any published data from rigorously
conducted randomized controlled (placebo or non-FMT standard of care
comparator) trials that support the use of FMT for:
    [cir] Prevention of recurrent C. difficile infection.
    [cir] Treatment of refractory C. difficile infection.

2. Safety Evaluation

     What is the strength of evidence for the safety of FMT in
patients with C. difficile infection not responsive to standard
therapies?
     Has meaningful safety information been collected under
FDA's enforcement policy? How can any deficiencies in safety data
collection be remedied?
     Are there particular safety issues FDA should consider
regarding these products (e.g., donor screening/mixing donations)?

3. Impact of FDA's current Enforcement Policy on FMT Product
Development

     What impact has FDA's enforcement policy had on
recruitment and ability to conduct clinical trials to assess safety and
effectiveness of FMT for C. difficile infection not responsive to
standard therapies?
    [cir] Can specific examples be cited?
    [cir] How can any negative impacts be remedied?
     How does the existing availability of FMT affect the
incentives for, and the feasibility of, FMT drug-development programs?
     The use of FMT is addressed in some treatment guidelines
(Infectious

Diseases Society of America and American Gastroenterological
Association). What impact has this had on patient recruitment and
conduct of clinical trials?

4. Future and Path Forward

     What additional scientific information is needed to
determine the safety and effectiveness of FMT for C. difficile
infection not responsive to standard therapies?
     How generalizable are the existing safety and
effectiveness data on use of a specific FMT product for C. difficile
infection not responsive to standard therapies to other FMT products
for which safety and effectiveness data are not available?
     Please comment on how FDA can facilitate patient access,
protect patient safety, and include enough flexibility to support
innovation for the development and licensure of safe and effective FMT
products for C. difficile infection not responsive to standard
therapies.

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

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) 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.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The atrazine, simazine, and malathion registrants have requested
that EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will
provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use deletion should submit the withdrawal in writing to
the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and/or amendments to
delete uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation/use deletion order in the Federal Register.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of a product registration/product registrations and/or for an
amendment/amendments to delete uses, EPA proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the
products listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.
    For voluntary product cancellations, registrants will be permitted
to sell and distribute existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products
for 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be
the date of publication of the cancellation/use deletion order in the
Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II.,
except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or
for proper disposal.
    Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants will be permitted to sell or
distribute products under the previously approved labeling for a period
of 18 months after the date of Federal Register publication of the
cancellation/use deletion order, unless other restrictions have been
imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products whose labels include the deleted uses
identified in Table 2 of Unit II., except for export consistent with
FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products/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 canceled products/
deleted uses.

RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Modification of Class D Airspace; McChord Field (Joint
Base Lewis-McChord), WA; Supplemental

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify the Class D airspace at McChord
Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord), Tacoma, WA. After a review of the
airspace, the FAA found it necessary to amend the existing airspace for
the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at this location and Visual Flight Rules (VFR) at a satellite airport.
This proposal would also remove a reference to the McChord Very High
Frequency

Omnidirectional Range beacon (VOR) from the legal description, update
the airport name and city, and amend the geographical coordinates for
the airport to match the FAA's database.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 9, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West

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 would modify the Class D airspace to support IFR operations at
McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord), Tacoma, WA.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

Background

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2020-0896 in the Federal Register (85 FR 69281; November 2, 2020)
proposing to modify the Class D airspace McChord Field (Joint Base
Lewis-McChord). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. One
comment was received during the comment period. The commenter was
concerned that removing the entire area previously excluded for
Spanaway Airport, would place aircraft arriving and departing Shady
Acres Airport at a disadvantage while departing to the North and
Landing to the South.
    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA received comments
from the Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association (AOPA), the Airport
Manager and local Pilots from Shady Acres Airport and the U.S. Air
Force. AOPA, the Airport Manager and local pilots were in favor of a
small portion of airspace, from the original area cutout for Spanaway
airport, being maintained for satellite airport operations at Shady
Acres Airport. These amendments would maintain the current level of
operational safety, while adhering to FAA policy on airspace for
satellite airports. The U.S. Air Force was not in favor of this
recommendation. In addition, the FAA identified an area of airspace to
the Northwest that needed additional clarification in its boundary and
the U.S. Air Force identified that only the VOR was being
decommissioned and not the Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN), as
previously reported. The FAA determined that the proposal needed
additional consideration due to these comments.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying
the lateral dimensions of the Class D airspace. The FAA initiated a
review of the assigned airspace and drafted the subsequent proposal for
modification due to three actions. The FAA decommissioned the McChord
VOR because the U.S. Air Force was no longer going to maintain the
NAVAID.

As a result of the decommissioning, the FAA was required to redefine
the airspace that uses the VOR as a reference and remove the reference
from the associated airspace descriptions. The U.S. Air Force requested
elimination of airspace previously excluded for operations at Spanaway
Airport. In response, the FAA completed an airspace review to evaluate
that request and the Class D airspace had not been examined in the
previous two years as required by FAA Orders.
    The exclusion of Class D airspace that is southeast of the airport
would be modified to facilitate use of the airspace for aircraft
arriving and departing Shady Acres Airport, in keeping with FAA
Directives. A portion of the airspace overlying Lakewood, WA would also
be eliminated, as it is no longer needed.
    In addition, the Legal Descriptions Heading would be corrected to
identify the proper city and state, the name of the airport and the
geographical coordinates for McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis McChord)
to match the FAA's National Airspace System Resource (NASR) database.
    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
