SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55279; File No. SR-ISE-2007-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto Relating to Position and Exercise
Limits on the KBW Bank Index

February 12, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on January 8, 2007, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''
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 substantially prepared by the ISE. On
February 5, 2007, the ISE filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change. The ISE filed the proposed rule change as a ``non-
controversial'' rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act
\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal
effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as
amended, from interested persons.

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

    The Exchange is proposing to increase the position and exercise
limits for options on the KBW Bank Index. The text of the proposed rule
change is available at the ISE, the Commission's Public Reference Room,
and http://www.iseoptions.com.

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 ISE 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 ISE has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange recently listed for trading options on the KBW Bank
Index (``BKX'') pursuant to the Exchange's generic listing standards
found in its Rule 2002(b). Under ISE Rule 2005, a narrow-based index
option cannot have position and exercise limits that exceed 31,500
contracts.\5\ The Exchange notes that the Philadelphia Stock Exchange
(``Phlx'') also currently lists options on BKX. However, pursuant to a
Rule 19b-4 filing, the position and exercise limit for options on BKX
traded by Phlx is currently 44,000 contracts.\6\ Accordingly, the
Exchange proposes to increase the position and exercise limit for
options on BKX traded at ISE to 44,000 contracts also. The Exchange
believes it is important for a product traded at multiple exchanges to
have a uniform position and exercise limit in order to eliminate any
confusion among investors and other market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ ISE Rule 2007 generally states that exercise limits for an
index option shall be equivalent to the position limit prescribed to
that index option.
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 49312 (February 24,
2004), 69 FR 9672 (March 1, 2004) (SR-Phlx-2004-13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is found in
Section 6(b)(5),\7\ in that the adoption of uniform position and
exercise limits for BKX will serve 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

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 \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). When filing a proposed rule change
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act, an exchange is required
to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of 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 requested that the
Commission waive the 5-day pre-filing notice requirement. The
Commission has determined to waive this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ For purposes of calculating the 60-day period within which
the Commission may summarily abrogate the proposed rule change under
Section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act, the Commission considers the period
to commence on February 5, 2007, the date on which the ISE submitted
Amendment No. 1. See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after

the date of filing.\11\ However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The ISE has
requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because the proposed rule change will make the ISE's position and
exercise limits for options on BKX consistent with the Phlx's position
and exercise limits for such options.\13\ Further, the Commission notes
that the increased position and exercise limits for Phlx were
previously noticed for comment and no comments were received. For this
reason, the Commission designates the proposal to be effective and
operative upon filing with the Commission.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \12\ Id.
    \13\ See supra note 6.
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

    Title: NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (Renewal) .
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1900.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0423.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2013.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending
at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or
additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial
notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and maintain
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period
during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are also
required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is

estimated to average 1,235 hours per response. ``Burden'' means the
total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements which have
subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a
collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of small
municipal waste combustors.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,351.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,364,227, which includes $1,195,891
in labor costs, $66,000 in capital/startup costs, and $102,336 in
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden hours for
the respondents from the most recently approved ICR due to an increase
of one new source subject to the regulation (i.e. respondent universe).
The growth in respondent universe also results in an increase in the
respondent labor costs and O&M costs.
    Additionally, there is an increase in burden costs for the Agency
from the most recently approved ICR due to an adjustment in labor
rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to calculate all burden costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Prescription Drug User Fee Program

OMB Control Number 0910-0297--Revision

    This information collection supports implementation of the Food and
Drug Administration Prescription Drug User Fee (PDUFA) program. PDUFA
was enacted in 1992 and authorizes FDA to collect fees from companies
that produce certain human drug and biological products. Under the
prescription drug user fee provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (sections 735 and 736 (21 U.S.C. 379g and
379h)), we have the authority to assess and collect user fees for
certain new drug applications (NDAs) and new biologics license
applications (BLAs). Under this authority, pharmaceutical companies pay
a fee for certain new NDAs and BLAs submitted to FDA for review. We
have established a PDUFA page on our website at https://www.fda.gov/forindustry/userfees/prescriptiondruguserfee/ that includes resources
and information regarding PDUFA topics at FDA.
    Because the submission of user fees concurrently with applications
is required, review of an application by FDA cannot begin until the fee
is submitted. To assist respondents in this regard, we developed Form
FDA 3397 entitled, ``Prescription Drug User Fee

Cover Sheet.'' Associated instructions may be found on our website at
https://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/UserFees/PrescriptionDrugUserFee/ucm119184.htm. The cover sheet (Form FDA 3397) need not be submitted
for certain FDA-regulated products, e.g., generic drugs, and Whole
Blood and Blood components for transfusion. The list of exempted
products is included under the instructions to Form FDA 3397.
Relatedly, sections 735 and 736 of the FD&C Act also provide for
waiver, reduction, refund, and reconsideration requests. We developed
the guidance document entitled ``Guidance for Industry--User Fee
Waivers, Reductions, and Refunds for Drug and Biological Products,''
and Form FDA 3971 (Small Business Waivers and Refund Requests), which
can be found on our website at https://www.fda.gov/media/131797/download.
    We are revising the collection to include our current commitment
goals, as set forth in the document ``PDUFA Reauthorization Performance
Goals and Procedures Fiscal Years 2018 Through 2022,'' also found on
our website at https://www.fda.gov/media/99140/download. PDUFA is
currently authorized through September 30, 2022, with reauthorization
activities currently underway. The commitment goals represent the
product of FDA's discussions with the regulated industry and public
stakeholders, as mandated by Congress. FDA is committed to meeting
these goals and to continuous operational improvements associated with
PDUFA implementation. The commitment goals provide for the development
and issuance of topic-specific guidance. We maintain a searchable
guidance database on our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-document. In publishing the respective
notices of availability for each guidance document, we include an
analysis under the PRA and invite public comment on the associated
information collection recommendations. In addition, all Agency
guidance documents are issued in accordance with our Good Guidance
Practice regulations in 21 CFR 10.115, which provide for public comment
at any time.
    We estimate the burden of the information collection as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    Based on a review of Agency records, we estimate that the number of
initial waiver requests submitted annually (excluding small business
waiver requests under section 736(d)(1)(C)) of the FD&C Act) will be
189, submitted by 112 different applicants; and that 37 respondents
annually will each submit a small business waiver request. We have
included in the burden estimate the time for preparation and submission
of application fee waivers for small businesses, including completion
of Form FDA 3971. Small businesses requesting a waiver must submit
documentation to FDA, including the number of their employees, as well
as information that the application is the first human drug
application, within the meaning of the FD&C Act, to be submitted to the
Agency for approval.
    We estimate receiving 10 requests for reconsideration annually
(including small business waiver reconsiderations), and assume the
average burden for preparing and submitting each request is 24 hours.
In addition, we estimate receiving 1 request annually for appeal of
user fee waiver determination, and assume the time needed to prepare an
appeal is 12 hours. We have included in this estimate both the time
needed to prepare the request for appeal to the Chief Scientist and
User Fee Appeals Officer within the Office of the Commissioner, and the
time needed to create and send a copy of the request for an appeal to
the Director Division of User Fee Management within the Office of
Management at FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
    We assume 87 hours of burden for completing and submitting Form FDA
3397 (Prescription Drug User Fee Coversheet) for submission of a new
drug application or biologics license application.
    The information collection reflects an overall increase since our
last request for OMB review and approval. We attribute this to expected
fluctuations in submissions to the Agency.

    Dated: November 19, 2021.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by the
Environmental Integrity Project and Benjamin Feldman seeking to compel
the Administrator to take actions under CAA section 505(b)(2). Under
the terms of the proposed consent decree, EPA would agree to sign its
response granting or denying the petition filed by the Environmental

attorney fees.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the
proposed consent decree from persons who are not named as parties or
intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of
Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed consent decree
if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of
Justice determines that consent to this consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the consent decree will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

A. How can I get a copy of the consent decree?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2014-0383) contains a copy of the proposed consent
decree. The official public docket is available for public viewing at
the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket
Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the OEI Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
www.regulations.gov. You may use www.regulations.gov to submit or view
public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the
official public docket, and access those documents in the public docket
that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in the
appropriate docket identification number then select ``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless
the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI
and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not
included in the official public docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including
copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed
in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are

submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after
the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not
required to consider these late comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2019-0149, dated June 24, 2019,
to correct an unsafe condition for Leonardo S.p.a. (formerly
Finmeccanica S.p.A., AgustaWestland S.p.A., Agusta S.p.A.; and
AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation, formerly Agusta Aerospace
Corporation) Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters with certain serial
numbered engine mounting rods part number (P/N) 3G7120V00132 installed.
EASA advises of reports of a production non-conformity on a specific
batch of these engine mounting rods. EASA further advises that this
non-conformity degrades the material strength of the engine mounting
rods.
    EASA states this condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure
of an affected engine mounting rod, possibly resulting in loss of
control of the helicopter. Accordingly, the EASA AD requires removing
from service each affected engine mounting rod, emailing a completed
``Scrap Report'' to Leonardo Helicopters Division, and installing a
serviceable engine mounting rod. The EASA AD also prohibits installing
an affected engine mounting rod on any helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that an
unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of
the same type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin (ASB)
No. 139-593, Revision A, dated June 14, 2019 (ASB 139-593, Revision A),
for Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters. This service information
specifies procedures to replace the engine outboard and inboard
mounting rods from the Number 1 and Number 2 engines.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Leonardo Helicopters ASB No. 139-593, dated June
11, 2019. This service information contains the same procedures as ASB
139-593, Revision A. However, ASB 139-593, Revision A expands the
applicability from certain serial-numbered Model AB139 and AW139
helicopters to all Model AB139 and AW139 helicopters with affected
engine mounting rods installed.
    The FAA also reviewed Leonardo Helicopters AMP DM 39-A-71-21-05-
00A-520A-B, AMP DM 39-A-71-21-05-00A-720A-B, AMP DM 39-A-71-21-06-00A-
520A-B, AMP DM 39-A-71-21-06-00A-720A-B, AMP DM 39-A-71-21-07-00A-520A-
B, AMP DM 39-A-71-21-07-00A-720A-B, AMP DM 39-A-71-21-08-00A-520A-B,
and AMP DM 39-A-71-21-08-00A-720A-B, all dated October 4, 2019. This
service information specifies instructions for removing and installing
the outboard and inboard engine mounting rods.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require removing from service certain
serial-numbered engine mounting rods P/N 3G7120V00132. This proposed AD
would also prohibit installing an affected engine mounting rod on any
helicopter.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires emailing a completed ``Scrap Report'' to
Leonardo Helicopters Division at the same compliance time as the engine
mounting rod removal, whereas this proposed AD would not.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD would affect up to 126 helicopters
of U.S. Registry. The FAA estimates that operators may incur the
following costs in order to comply with this AD. Labor costs are
estimated at $85 per work-hour.
    Replacing an engine mounting rod would require about 8 work-hours
per and parts would cost about $1,000 for an estimated cost of $1,680
per engine mounting rod.
    According to Leonardo Helicopter's service information, some of the
costs of this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby
reducing the cost impact on affected individuals. The FAA does not
control warranty coverage by Leonardo Helicopters. Accordingly, all
costs are included in this cost estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866,
    2. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-793, OMB Control No. 3235-0738]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rules 13n-
4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d)

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in rules
13n-4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rules 13n-4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d) implement Exchange Act sections
13(n)(5)(G) and (H), which conditionally require security-based swap
data repositories (SDRs) registered with the SEC to make security-based
swap data available to certain regulators and other authorities. The
rules in part would condition this access to data on the regulators and
other authorities entering into memoranda of understanding or other
arrangements with the Commission to address the confidentiality of the
data made available. The rules further would require SDRs to create and
maintain records regarding such data access. In addition, certain
regulators or other authorities that are not otherwise designated by
statute or rule may submit applications to the Commission requesting
that they be deemed eligible to access the relevant security-based swap
data.
    Implementation of the statutory data access provisions--including
the confidentiality condition and the Commission's authority to
designate entities to access such information--will facilitate
regulatory oversight of the security-based swap market and its
participants, including oversight of systemic and other risks
associated with the market. Implementation also will promote compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to
compliance with the antifraud provisions of the federal securities
laws.
    Commission Staff estimates that the total annual burden associated
with Rules 13n-4(b)(9), (b)(10) and (d) is 11,405 hours and $120,000,
calculated as follows:
    Commission staff estimates a total of 50 regulators or other
authorities will enter into confidentiality arrangements with the
Commission to obtain access to security-based swap data pursuant to
these provisions. On average, each of those recipients of data is
expected to expend 500 hours in connection with negotiating these MOUs
or other arrangements, for a one-time aggregate burden of 25,000 hours,
with no associated ongoing burdens. This equates to 8,333 hours per
year when annualized over three years.
    Commission staff estimates that a total of 41 regulators or other
authorities (that otherwise are not identified by statute or the rules
as being eligible for access) may request that the Commission determine
that they be able to access such security-based swap data. On average,
each of those entities is expected to expend 40 hours in connection
with such requests, for a one-time aggregate burden of 1,640 hours,
with no associated ongoing burdens. This equates to 547 hours per year
when annualized over three years.
    Commission staff also estimates that a total of three SDRs may be
expected to incur systems-related costs associated with setting up
access to security-based swap data for regulators and other
authorities. On average, each of those entities is expected to expend
1,300 hours in connection with providing such connectivity (based on
each SDR incurring 26 hours per recipient, over 50 total recipients),
for a one-time aggregate burden of 3,900 hours, with no associated no
ongoing burdens associated with this requirement. This equates to 1,300
hours when annualized over three years.
    In addition, Commission staff estimates that a total of three SDRs
may incur costs associated with notifying the Commission when the SDR
receives the first request for security-based swap data from a
particular entity. On average, each of those SDRs is expected

to expend 25 hours in connection with this notice requirement (based on
each SDR providing 50 notices, at half-hour per notice), for a one-time
aggregate burden of 75 hours, with no associated ongoing burdens. This
equates to 25 hours per year when annualized over three years.
    Commission staff estimates that a total of three SDRs may incur
costs associated with the requirement that they maintain records of all
information related to initial and subsequent requests for data access.
On average, compliance with this provision is expected to require 360
hours initially and 280 hours annually per SDR, for a total burden of
1,080 hours initially and 840 hours annually across three SDRs. This
equates to 1,200 hours per year when annualized over three years.
Commission staff further estimates that those SDRs each will require
$40,000 annually in connection with that requirement, for a total cost
of $120,000 annually across three SDRs.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent by December 19, 2022 to (i)
[email protected] and (ii) David Bottom,
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Gulfstream
Aerospace LP Model Gulfstream G200 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 17, 2022 (87 FR 50588). The NPRM was
prompted by AD ISR I-57-2021-12-4, dated January 1, 2022 (CAAI AD ISR
I-57-2021-12-4) (also referred to as the MCAI), issued by CAAI, which
is the aviation authority for Israel. There were reports that wing flap
fairing debonding and corrosion were discovered at the lower skin of
rib 3 and rib 11 on both wings. The MCAI states that the reason for the
AD is to prevent the possibility of flap fairing debonding, moisture
intrusion and wing lower skin corrosion at rib 3 and rib 11.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require an inspection for
corrosion in certain areas of the wing skin fairings, additional
inspections if necessary, resealing the fairings with new fillet seal,
and applicable corrective actions, as specified in CAAI AD ISR I-57-
2021-12-4.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-0994.
    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain
Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Galaxy airplanes and Model Gulfstream 200
airplanes. The SNPRM published in the Federal Register on December 13,
2022 (87 FR 76148). The SNPRM was prompted a determination that Model
Galaxy airplanes must be added to the applicability. In the SNPRM, the
FAA proposed to require an inspection for corrosion in certain areas of
the wing skin fairings, additional inspections if necessary, resealing
the fairings with new fillet seal, and applicable corrective actions.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address flap fairing debonding and
moisture intrusion that might lead to lower wing skin corrosion and
cracking on both wings, and reduced structural integrity of the wings.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the SNPRM or on the determination
of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined
that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product.
Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in
the SNPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any
operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    CAAI AD ISR I-57-2021-12-4, dated January 1, 2022, describes
procedures for an inspection for corrosion in the area of the wing skin
(or doubler if installed) under the rib 3 and rib 11 fairings, a
penetration or eddy current inspection for cracks if corrosion was
found, a measurement of the thickness of remaining wing skin (or
doubler) if no cracks were found, resealing of rib 3 and rib 11
fairings with new fillet seal, and applicable corrective actions.
Corrective actions include cleaning and removing corrosion, crack
repair, and repair of fairing installation locations with a certain
thickness reduction.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 168 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.

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

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

               Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 10 work-hours x $85 per hour =                $0       Up to $850
 $850.................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
  estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this AD.

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
