SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it establishes restricted area airspace at Fort Polk, LA,
to enhance aviation safety and accommodate essential U.S. Army
hazardous force-on-force and force-on-target training activities.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2018-0984 in the Federal Register (83 FR 60382; November 26, 2018)
establishing four new restricted areas, R-3803C, R-3803D, R-3803E, and
R-3803F, and making minor technical amendments to the R-3803A and R-
3803B descriptions for improved operational efficiency and
administrative standardization in support of hazardous U.S. Army force-
on-force and force-on-target training activities. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. Two comments were received.

Discussion of Comments

    While supportive of the U.S. Army's need to train as they fight,
the first commenter noted that modern general aviation aircraft have
longer flight endurance today, making timely NOTAM publication of
restricted area activations necessary for effective flight planning. To
overcome the possibility of the restricted areas being activated with
no advance notification, the commenter recommended adding ``at least 4
hours in advance'' to the ``By NOTAM'' time of designation proposed for
the R-3803A, R-3803C, and R-3803D restricted areas. Additionally, the
commenter requested the effective date of the proposed restricted
areas, if approved, coincide with the next update of the Houston
Sectional Aeronautical Chart.
    It is FAA policy that when NOTAMs are issued to activate special
use airspace, the NOTAMs should be issued as far in advance as feasible
to ensure the widest dissemination of the information to airspace
users. The FAA acknowledges that the addition of the ``at least 4 hours
in advance'' provision to the proposed ``By NOTAM'' time of
designation, as recommended by the commenter, would contribute to
ensuring the widest dissemination of the restricted areas being
activated to effected airspace users. As such, the FAA adopts the
commenter's recommendation to amend the time of designation for R-
3803A, R-3803C, and R-3803D to reflect ``By NOTAM issued at least 4
hours in advance.''
    Additionally, the establishment of R-3803C, R-3803D, R-3803E, and
R-3803F, and the minor technical amendments to the existing R-3803A and
R-3803B legal descriptions are being made effective to coincide with
the upcoming Houston Sectional Aeronautical Chart date.
    The second commenter raised aerial access concerns of the area in
which the new restricted areas were proposed to be established. The
commenter stated

restriction of the airspace would require many commercial forestry
activities on private lands, traditionally accomplished through aerial
application, to be done via ground application which would have a
detrimental effect on a purported endangered Pine Snake habitat and
render land owners unable to exercise their ownership or conduct timber
management with traditional, cost effective methods. The commenter
added that without aerial surveillance and fire suppression flights,
timber and economic losses to fire, insect, and disease would increase.
The commenter also argued that closure of the restricted area airspace
would have an economic impact on Central and Southwest Louisiana by
limiting commercial air traffic into Alexandria International Airport,
LA.
    The FAA considered the commenter's concerns and has determined
aerial access to the private properties underlying the new restricted
areas is unaffected by the establishment of the restricted areas. When
the new restricted areas are active, aerial access to the underlying
privately owned properties is provided by a 1,200-foot above ground
level (AGL) exclusion area incorporated within restricted area R-3803D.
The FAA believes this 1,200-foot AGL exclusion is adequate for non-
participating aviation to perform commercial forestry activities,
wildfire surveillance and suppression flights, and insect infestation
detection and aerial spraying on the private lands noted by the
commenters. This continued aerial access also mitigates the commenter's
concerns associated with a detrimental effect on an endangered Pine
Snake habitat, as well as land owners' abilities to exercise their land
ownership or timber management actions with traditional, cost effective
methods.
    The remaining land that underlies restricted areas R-3803C and R-
3803D is owned by the U.S. Army. Aerial access to that land, when the
restricted areas are active, will be provided using the same processes
and procedures that are in place today for accessing the land under the
existing R-3803A.
    Lastly, as part of the aeronautical study conducted by Houston Air
Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), the FAA analyzed the impact to
commercial air traffic into Alexandria International Airport, LA, as
noted by the commenter. Houston ARTCC acknowledged instrument arrival
and departure procedures into the Houston Terminal Area and Alexandria
International Airport would be impacted slightly. However, the
altitudes and times of use for the restricted areas will greatly
mitigate any impact on these procedures. Additionally, the procedures
are seldom used and if required the aircraft can be positively
controlled away from the procedural routings, so the impact to these
areas will be negligible. Houston ARTCC ultimately recommended approval
and deemed the establishment of the four new restricted areas would not
have an adverse impact on the commercial air traffic into Alexandria
International Airport.

Military Operations Areas (MOA)

    In the NPRM, the FAA acknowledged that the proposed R-3803C and R-
3803D restricted areas, if established, would be designated within the
existing Warrior 1 Low and Warrior 1 High Military Operations Areas
(MOAs). To address potential airspace issues and confusion created if
all special use airspace (SUA) areas were active at the same time, the
FAA stated it would amend the legal descriptions of both MOAs to
exclude that airspace within R-3803C and R-3803D when the restricted
areas were activated.
    MOAs are established to separate or segregate non-hazardous
military flight activities from aircraft operating in accordance with
instrument flight rules (IFR) and to advise pilots flying under visual
flight rules (VFR) where these activities are conducted. IFR aircraft
may be routed through an active MOA only by agreement with the using
agency and only when air traffic control can provide approved
separation from the MOA activity. VFR pilots are not restricted from
flying in an active MOA but are advised to exercise caution while doing
so. MOAs are nonregulatory airspace areas that are established or
amended administratively and published in the National Flight Data
Digest (NFDD) rather than through rulemaking procedures. When a
nonrulemaking action is ancillary to a rulemaking action, FAA
procedures allow for the nonrulemaking changes to be included in the
rulemaking action. Since amendments to the Warrior 1 Low and Warrior 1
High MOAs descriptions are ancillary to the establishment of R-3803C
and R-3803D, the MOA changes are addressed in this rule as well as
being published in the NFDD.
    The FAA circularized a proposal to make editorial amendments to the
Warrior 1 Low and Warrior 1 High MOAs boundary descriptions, contingent
upon R-3803C and R-3803D being established, to add language that
excluded that airspace within R-3803C and R-3803D when the restricted
areas were activated. Interested parties were invited to participate in
this proposed nonrulemaking action by submitting written comments on
the proposal. Two comments were received.
    Both commenters raised the same concerns over restrictions to
aerial access for forest landowners, loggers, and forest industry
stakeholders. Specifically, the commenters argued the proposed MOA
amendments restricted the ability to aerially detect wildfires, inspect
for insect infestations, and treat forest lands with chemicals and
fertilizers in the impact area. They contended the added costs of
conducting forest management practices from only the ground would add
substantial costs to their operations and be less effective, and that
the economic loss caused by the MOA proposal to forestry, loggers, and
the forest industry as well as revenue to the local and state economy
would be considerable.
    In response, the FAA offers that the external boundaries,
altitudes, times of use, or activities to be conducted within the
Warrior MOA complex remain the same with the inclusion of the proposed
restricted area exclusion language amendments. Aerial access for forest
landowners, loggers, and forest industry stakeholders within the
amended MOAs would be unchanged when the new restricted areas are not
activated. When the new restricted areas are activated, aerial access
to the private properties would be provided by the 1,200-foot AGL
exclusion area within R-3803D and support the continued aviation
activities described by the commenters. For aerial access to the U.S.
Army owned property underlying R-3803C and the portion of R-3803D that
extends upward from the surface, it will be provided using the same
processes and procedures that are in place today for nonparticipant
aircraft to access the existing R-3803A. Since aerial access to the
private and U.S. Army owned lands falling under the amended MOAs, R-
3803C, and R-3803D will continue to be available for forest landowners,
loggers, and forest industry stakeholders, the aerial forest management
practices noted by the commenters will not be impacted and the economic
loss or revenue impact concerns noted by the commenters mitigated.
    As a result, the Warrior 1 Low and Warrior 1 High MOAs boundary
descriptions are being amended to include language that excludes that
airspace within R-3803C and R-3803D when the restricted areas are
activated. These editorial amendments overcome any potential airspace
confusion or conflict resulting from the overlapping restricted areas
and MOAs being activated at the same time. Additionally,

the amendments help inform nonparticipants when portions of the MOAs
are not available due to hazardous activities being conducted in the
overlapping restricted areas. The amended boundary descriptions for the
MOAs will be published in the NFDD; the rest of the MOAs legal
descriptions remain unchanged.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by establishing four new restricted areas, R-3803C, R-3803D, R-
3803E, and R-3803F, located south-southeast of the existing R-3803A and
R-3803B restricted areas, supporting the Joint Readiness Training
Center at Fort Polk, LA. The new restricted areas will support the U.S.
Army conducting realistic force-on-force and force-on-target training
employing longer-range surface-to-surface and air-to-surface munitions.
    Of the new restricted areas, R-3803C and R-3803D will extend upward
from the surface to but not including FL 180. Stacked above R-3803C, R-
3803E will be established extending upward from FL 180 to but not
including FL 350. Similarly, stacked above R-3803D, R-3803F will be
established extending upward from FL 180 to but not including FL 350.
The boundaries of the R-3803C and R-3803E restricted areas will match,
as will the boundaries of the R-3803D and R-3803F restricted areas.
However, there is an airspace cutout included in the R-3803D boundary
description, extending upward from the surface to 1,200 feet AGL, to
allow aerial access to the private land under the restricted area that
the Army does not own or control.
    Restricted areas R-3803C and R-3803D will be activated by NOTAM
issued at least 4 hours in advance, with an anticipated usage of 18
hours per day approximately 320 days per year. The higher strata
restricted areas, R-3803E and R-3803F, will be activated by NOTAM
issued at least 24 hours in advance, with an anticipated usage of 8
hours per day approximately 20 days per year.
    Lastly, a number of minor editorial and technical amendments to the
existing R-3803A and R-3803B restricted area legal descriptions are
being made. They include:
     The designated altitudes for R-3803A is changed from
``Surface to FL 180'' to ``Surface to but not including FL 180.''
     The designated altitudes for R-3803B is changed from ``FL
180 up to but not including FL 350'' to ``FL 180 to but not including
FL 350.'' This amendment was noted in the NPRM preamble to match the
designated altitudes of the upper proposed restricted areas, listed as
R-3803C and R-3803D in error. The correct upper proposed restricted
areas that should have been listed are R-3803E and R-3803F. The
regulatory text in the NPRM for the R-3803B, R-3803E, and R-3803F
designated altitudes all matched with the correct proposed amendment
information.
     The time of designation for R-3803A is changed from
``Continuous'' to ``By NOTAM issued at least 4 hours in advance.''
     The time of designation for R-3803B is changed from ``As
activated by NOTAM issued at least 24 hours in advance'' to ``By NOTAM
issued at least 24 hours in advance.''
     The using agency for R-3803A and R-3803B is changed from
``Commanding General, Fort Polk, LA'' to ``U.S. Army, Joint Readiness
Training Center, Fort Polk, LA.''
    The new restricted areas R-3803C and R-3803D are designated within
the existing Warrior 1 Low and Warrior 1 High Military Operations Areas
(MOAs). To address potential airspace issues and confusion created when
the restricted areas and MOAs are active at the same time, the FAA is
taking action to amend both MOA legal descriptions to exclude that
airspace within R-3803C and R-3803D when the restricted areas are
activated.

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.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of establishing four
restricted areas, R-3803C, R-3803D, R-3803E, and R-3803F, located south
southeast of the R-3803 restricted area complex at Fort Polk, LA,
qualifies for FAA adoption in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
paragraph 8-2, Adoption of Other Agencies' National Environmental
Policy Act Documents, and FAA Order 7400.2M, paragraph 32-2-3 (Special
Use Airspace). After conducting an independent review and evaluation of
the U.S. Army's Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, Louisiana,
Final Environmental Assessment for the Expansion Of Restricted Area
Complex Airspace R-3803 (March 2019) and Finding Of No Significant
Impact, the FAA has determined that the Army's EA and its supporting
documentation adequately assesses and discloses the environmental
impacts of the proposed action, including establishment of restricted
areas R-3803C, R-3803D, R-3803E, and R-3803F. Based on the evaluation
in the Army's EA, the FAA, as a Cooperating Agency, concluded that the
Army's EA qualifies for adoption by FAA, and that the FAA's adoption of
the Army's EA for the expansion of the R-3803 restricted area complex
in central Louisiana by establishing four new restricted areas, R-
3803C, R-3803D, R-3803E, and R-3803F is authorized in accordance with
40 CFR 1506.3, Adoption. Accordingly, FAA adopts the Army's EA and
takes full responsibility for the scope and content that addresses the
FAA's actions associated with the establishment of the additional
restricted areas.

unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

 A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farmworker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

 B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. Authority

    EPA is initiating its reviews of the pesticides identified in this
document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural Regulations
for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) of
FIFRA provides, among other things, that the registrations of
pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under FIFRA section 3(a),
a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only if it
meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA section
3(c)(5). When used in accordance with widespread and commonly
recognized practice, the pesticide product must perform its intended
function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk

from residues that result from the use of a pesticide in or on food.

III. Registration Reviews

 A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registrations identified in the table in this unit to assure that they
continue to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration--that is, they
can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects on human health
or the environment. A pesticide's registration review begins when the
Agency establishes a docket for the pesticide's registration review
case and opens the docket for public review and comment. At present,
EPA is opening registration review dockets for the cases identified in
the following table:

 B. Docket Content

    1. Review dockets. The registration review dockets contain
information that the Agency may consider in the course of the
registration review. The Agency may include information from its files
including, but not limited to, the following information:
     An overview of the registration review case status.
     A list of current product registrations and registrants.
     Federal Register notices regarding any pending
registration actions.
     Federal Register notices regarding current or pending
tolerances.
     Risk assessments.
     Bibliographies concerning current registrations.
     Summaries of incident data.
     Any other pertinent data or information.
     Each docket contains a document summarizing what the Agency
currently knows about the pesticide case and a preliminary work plan
for anticipated data and assessment needs. Additional documents provide
more detailed information. During this public comment period, the
Agency is asking that interested persons identify any additional
information they believe the Agency should consider during the
registration reviews of these pesticides. The Agency identifies in each
docket the areas where public comment is specifically requested, though
comment in any area is welcome.
    2. Other related information. More information on these cases,
including the active ingredients for each case, may be located in the
registration review schedule on the Agency's website at http://
www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/schedule.htm. Information on
the Agency's registration review program and its implementing
regulation may be seen at http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_
review.
     3. Information submission requirements. Anyone may submit data or
information in response to this document. To be considered during a
pesticide's registration review, the submitted data or information must
meet the following requirements:
     To ensure that EPA will consider data or information
submitted, interested persons must submit the data or information
during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider
data or information submitted at a later date.
     The data or information submitted must be presented in a
legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must
accompany any material that is not in English and a written transcript
must accompany any information submitted as an audiographic or
videographic record. Written material may be submitted in paper or
electronic form.
     Submitters must clearly identify the source of any
submitted data or information.
     Submitters may request the Agency to reconsider data or
information that the Agency rejected in a previous review. However,
submitters must explain why they believe the Agency should reconsider
the data or information in the pesticide's registration review.
     As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the registration review
docket for each pesticide case will remain publicly accessible through
the duration of the registration review process; that is, until all
actions required in the final decision on the registration review case
have been completed.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the
Exchange's Name Change

October 24, 2017.
    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 October 19, 2017, NASDAQ PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' 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. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules as well as certain
corporate documents of the Exchange to reflect legal name changes.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqphlx.cchwallstreet.com/ com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this filing is to reflect in the Exchange's
governing documents (and the governing documents of its parent company)
\3\ and the Exchange's Rulebook a non-substantive corporate branding
change to the Exchange's name.\4\ Specifically, current references will
be changed as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange proposes to amend: (i) The Amended Certificate
of Formation; (ii) Second Amended Limited Liability Company
Agreement; (iii) By-Laws; (iv) Rulebook; and (v) Pricing Schedule.
    \4\ The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and NASDAQ BX, Inc. will also be
filing similar rule changes.

 References to ``NASDAQ'' will be changed to ``Nasdaq''
 References to ``NASDAQ PHLX LLC'' or ``NASDAQ PHLX'' will be
changed to ``Nasdaq PHLX LLC'' or ``Nasdaq PHLX''
 References to ``NASDAQ OMX PSX'' or ``NASDAQ PSX'' will be
changed to ``Nasdaq PSX''
 References to ``The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.'' or ``NASDAQ OMX
Group, Inc.'' will be changed to ``Nasdaq, Inc.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75421 (July 10,
2015), 80 FR 42136 (July 16, 2015) (SR-BSECC-2015-001, SR-BX-2015-
030, SR-NASDAQ-2015-058, SR-Phlx-2015-46, SR-SCCP-2015-01).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 In addition to the preceding changes, all references to
``OMX'' will be removed from the Rulebook.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 References to ``The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC'' or ``NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC'' will be changed to ``The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC''
 References to ``NASDAQ BX, Inc.'' or ``NASDAQ BX'' will be
changed to ``Nasdaq BX, Inc.'' or ``Nasdaq BX''
 In all instances where the word ``the'' should have been
capitalized, (e.g., Rule 1080(n)(ii)(J)(1)), the Exchange will make the
appropriate correction.
    This name change proposal is a non-substantive change. No changes
to the ownership or structure of the Exchange have taken place. No
other changes are being proposed in this filing. The Exchange
represents that these changes are concerned solely with the
administration of the Exchange and do not affect the meaning,
administration, or enforcement of any rules of the Exchange or the
rights, obligations, or privileges of Exchange members or their
associated persons in any way. Accordingly, this filing is being
submitted under Rule 19b-4(f)(3). In lieu of providing a copy of the
marked changes, the Exchange represents that it will make the necessary
non-substantive revisions to the Amended Certificate of Formation,
Second Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement, By-Laws, Rulebook,
and Pricing Schedule and post updated versions of each on the
Exchange's Web site pursuant to Rule 19b-4(m)(2).
    The Exchange notes that the following references are not being
amended in the Exchange's governing documents and the Exchange's
Rulebook:
     Any name with a trademark (TM) or service mark (SM)
attached to the name.
     Any references in the Amended Certificate of Formation or
Second Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement which references
[sic] a prior name of the Exchange and reflects a historical date
wherein that name was in effect.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest by
avoiding confusion with the name. The Exchange proposes to conform its
name to that of its parent, Nasdaq Inc., by changing the capitalization
in the word ``NASDAQ'' to ``Nasdaq.'' The Exchange also proposes to
amend the names of affiliated markets in a similar manner, by changing
the name ``NASDAQ'' to ``Nasdaq.'' The name change of the Exchange as
well as other name changes to related entities are non-substantive
changes. No changes to the ownership or structure of the Exchange have
taken place.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The name change will align with
the parent company, Nasdaq, Inc.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(3)
thereunder,\10\ the Exchange has designated this proposal as one that
is concerned solely with the administration of the self-regulatory
organization, and therefore has become effective.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

[Docket ID FEMA-2022-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2251]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The currently effective community number is shown in the
table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance with the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with
44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Titles: FERC-60 (Annual Report of Centralized Service Companies),
FERC-61 (Narrative Description of Service Company Functions), and FERC-
555A (Preservation of Records Companies and Service Companies Subject
to PUHCA).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0215.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-60, FERC-61, &
FERC-555A information collection requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
    Abstract: On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, was
signed into law, repealing the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935 (PUHCA 1935) and enacting the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). Section 1264 \2\ and Section 1275 \3\ of PUHCA
2005 supplemented FERC's existing ratemaking authority under the
Federal Power Act (FPA) to protect customers against improper cross-
subsidization or encumbrances of public utility assets, and similarly,
FERC's ratemaking authority under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). These
provisions of PUHCA 2005 supplemented the FERC's broad authority under
FPA Section 301

and NGA section 8 to obtain the books and records of regulated
companies and any person that controls or is under the influence of
such companies if relevant to jurisdictional activities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Federal Books and Records Access Provision.
    \3\ Non-Power Goods and Services Provision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

FERC Form 60

    Form No. 60 is an annual reporting requirement under 18 CFR 366.23
for centralized service companies. The report's function is to collect
financial information (including balance sheet, assets, liabilities,
billing and charges for associated and non-associated companies) from
centralized service companies subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC.
Unless Commission rule exempts or grants a waiver pursuant to 18 CFR
366.3 and 366.4 to the holding company system, every centralized
service company in a holding company system must prepare and file
electronically with the FERC the Form No. 60, pursuant to the General
Instructions in the form.

FERC-61

    FERC-61 is a filing requirement for service companies in holding
company systems (including special purpose companies) that are
currently exempt or granted a waiver of FERC's regulations and would
not have to file FERC Form 60. Instead, those service companies are
required to file, on an annual basis, a narrative description of the
service company's functions during the prior calendar year (FERC-61).
In complying, a holding company may make a single filing on behalf of
all of its service company subsidiaries.

FERC-555A

    FERC prescribed a mandated preservation of records requirements for
holding companies and service companies (unless otherwise exempted by
FERC). This requires them to maintain and make available to FERC, their
books and records. The preservation of records requirement provides for
uniform records retention by holding companies and centralized service
companies subject to PUHCA 2005.
    Data from the FERC Form 60, FERC-61, and FERC-555A provide a level
of transparency that: (1) Helps protect ratepayers from pass-through of
improper service company costs, (2) enables FERC to review and
determine cost allocations (among holding company members) for certain
non-power goods and services, (3) aids FERC in meeting its oversight
and market monitoring obligations, and (4) benefits the public, both as
ratepayers and investors. In addition, the FERC's audit staff used
these records during compliance reviews and special analyses.
    If data from the FERC Form 60, FERC-61, and FERC-555A were not
available, FERC would not be able to meet its statutory
responsibilities, under EPAct 1992, EPAct of 2005, and PUHCA 2005, and
FERC would not have all of the regulatory mechanisms necessary to
ensure customer protection.
    Type of Respondents: Electric transmission facilities.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \4\ The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission defines burden as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,

$4,426,263.75 (FERC-555A) = $4,735,093.16]
    FERC Form 60: 2,550 hours * $120/hour = $306,000.
    FERC-61: 41 hours * $69.01/hour = $2,829.41.

storage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Labor costs for paper storage: 108,000 hours * $19/hours

    \6\ 2012 average hourly wage of filing clerk working within an
electric utility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Record Retention/storage cost for paper storage (using an
estimate of 6,000 ft\3\): $38,763.75.
     Electronic record retention/storage cost: $2,335,500
[108,000 hours / 2 = 54,000 * $28/hour \7\ = $1,512,000; electronic
record storage cost: 54,000 hours * $15.25/year \8\ = $823,500; total
electronic record storage: $2,335,500]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Commission bases the $28/hour figure on a FERC staff
study that included estimating public utility recordkeeping costs.
    \8\ Per entity; the Commission bases this figure on the
estimated cost to service and to store 1 GB of data (based on the
aggregated cost of an IBM advanced data protection server).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden and cost of the collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the information collections; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
