SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These
organizations perform testing and certification, for purposes of the
Program, to U.S. consensus-based product safety test standards. The
products covered by the NRTL Program consist of those items for which
OSHA safety standards require ``certification'' by a NRTL. The
requirements affect electrical products and 38 other types of products.
OSHA does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally
relies on standards development organizations (SDOs) which develop and
maintain the standards using a method that provides input and
consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, consumers,
governmental authorities and others having broad experience in the
safety field involved.

Removal of Test Standards From the NRTL List of Appropriate Test
Standards

    OSHA may propose to remove a test standard from the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards based on an internal review in which NRTL
Program staff review the NRTL list of appropriate test standards to
determine if the test standard conforms to the definition of

appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and
policy. There are several reasons for removing a test standard based on
this review. First, a document that provides the methodology for a
single test is a test method rather than an appropriate test standard.
A test standard must specify the safety requirements for a specific
type of product(s) (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test method, however, is a
``specified technical procedure for performing a test'' (CPL 1-0.3,
App. B). As such, a test method is not an appropriate test standard.
While a NRTL may use a test method to determine if certain safety
requirements are met, a test method is not itself a safety requirement
for a specific product category.
    Second, a document that focuses primarily on usage, installation,
or maintenance requirements would also not be considered an appropriate
test standard (CPL 1-0.3, App. D.IV.B). In some cases, however, a
document may also provide safety test specifications in addition to
usage, installation, and maintenance requirements. In such cases, the
document would be retained as an appropriate test standard based on the
safety test specifications.
    Finally, a document may not be considered an appropriate test
standard if the document covers products for which OSHA does not
require testing and certification (CPL 1-0.3, App. D.IV.A).
    Similarly, a document that covers electrical product components
would not be considered an appropriate test standard. These documents
apply to types of components that have limitation(s) or condition(s) on
their use, in that they are not appropriate for use as end-use
products. These documents also specify that these types of components
are for use only as part of an end-use product. NRTLs, however,
evaluate such components only in the context of evaluating whether end-
use products requiring NRTL approval are safe for use in the workplace.
Testing such components alone would not indicate that the end-use
products containing the components are safe for use. Accordingly, as a
matter of policy, OSHA considers that documents covering such
components are not appropriate test standards under the NRTL Program.
OSHA notes, however, that it is not proposing to delete from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition any test standards covering end-use products that
contain such components.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ OSHA notes also that some types of devices covered by these
documents, such as capacitors and transformers, may be end-use
products themselves, and tested under other test standards
applicable to such products. For example, the following test
standard covers transformers that are end-use products: UL 1562
Standard for Transformers, Distribution, Dry-Type--Over 600 Volts.
OSHA is not proposing to delete such test standards from NRTLs'
scopes of recognition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Proposal To Delete Test Standards From the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards

    In this notice, OSHA proposes to delete one test standard from the
NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards.
    Table 1 lists the test standard that OSHA proposes to delete from
the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards, as well as an
abbreviated rationale for OSHA's proposed actions. For a full
discussion of the rationale, see, above, Section I of this notice.

                                         products required to be
                                         certified by NRTLs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Proposed Modifications to Affected NRTLs' Scopes of Recognition

    In this notice, OSHA proposes to update the scopes of recognition
of several NRTLs. The tables in this section (Table 2 thru Table 4)
list, for each affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA proposes
to delete from the scope of recognition of the NRTL.
    OSHA seeks comment on whether its proposed deletions are
appropriate, and whether individual tables omit any appropriate
replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn test
standard. If OSHA determines that it omitted any appropriate
replacement test standard that is comparable to a withdrawn test
standard, it will, in its final determination, incorporate that
replacement test standard into the scope of recognition of each
affected NRTL.
    Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and
exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request
in writing, stating the reasons for the request, by the due date for
comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester
justifies a longer time period. OSHA may deny a request for an
extension if it is not adequately justified.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-75321; File No. SR-CBOE-2015-059]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change to Amend the Fees Schedule

June 29, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on June 15, 2015, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III, 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 Fees Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, 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 Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. Specifically, the
Exchange proposes to amend fees for Qualified Contingent Cross
(``QCC'') transactions. A QCC order is comprised of an order to buy or
sell at least 1,000 contracts (or 10,000 mini-option contracts) that is
identified as being part of a qualified contingent trade, coupled with
a contra side order to buy or sell an equal number of contracts.
Currently, the Exchange assesses no fee for Customer (``C'' origin) QCC
transactions and $0.20 per contract side for Clearing Trading Permit
Holder Proprietary (``F'' or ``L'' origin code) QCC transactions, as
well as Broker-Dealer, Non-Trading Permit Holder Market Maker,
Professional/Voluntary Professional and Joint Back-Office QCC
transactions. Additionally, Market-Maker QCC transactions are subject
to the Liquidity Provider Sliding Scale. In lieu of the current QCC
transaction fees stated above, the Exchange proposes to establish a
transaction fee for all non-customer QCC orders of $0.15 per contract
side (customer orders will continue to not be assessed a charge). In
addition, the Exchange proposes to adopt a $0.10 per contract credit
for the initiating order side, regardless of origin code. The Exchange
proposes to explicitly provide in the Fees Schedule that a QCC
transaction is comprised of an `initiating order' to buy (sell) at
least 1,000 contracts, coupled with a contra-side order to sell (buy)
an equal number of contracts and that for complex QCC transactions, the
1,000 contracts minimum is applied per leg. The `initiating order' is
considered to be the agency side of a QCC order. The Exchange notes
that with regard to order entry, the first order submitted into the
system is marked as the initiating/agency side and the second order is
marked as the contra side. The credit will be paid to the Trading
Permit Holder that enters the order into the system. The purpose of
these changes is to incentivize the sending of QCC orders to the
Exchange. The Exchange notes that another Exchange similarly provides
rebates on QCC initiating orders.\3\ The Exchange also notes that no
changes to transaction fees for QCC mini-option orders are being
proposed at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'')
Schedule of Fees, Section IV(A), QCC and Solicitation Rebate, which
provides for rebates between $0.05 per QCC contract and $0.11 per
QCC contract for each originating contract side based upon meeting
certain volume thresholds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange proposes to eliminate references to QCC fees
in the Equity, ETF and ETN options rate tables, and instead establish a
QCC-specific rate table. No substantive changes, other than those
mentioned above, are being made by the reorganization and relocation of
QCC-related transaction fees. Rather, the Exchange believes the
proposed change will make the Fees Schedule easier to read and
alleviate potential confusion.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\4\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \5\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitation
transactions in securities, 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. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ which requires that Exchange rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using
its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed transaction fee
for QCC orders is reasonable because the proposed amount is in line
with the amount assessed at other Exchanges for similar
transactions.\7\ Additionally, the proposed fee would be charged to all
non-customers alike. Assessing QCC rates to all market participants
except customers is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because
Customer order flow enhances liquidity on the Exchange for the benefit
of all market participants. Specifically, Customer liquidity benefits
all market participants by providing more trading opportunities, which
attracts Market-Makers. An increase in the activity of these market
participants in turn facilitates tighter spreads, which may cause an
additional corresponding increase in order flow from other market
participants. By exempting customer orders, the QCC transaction fees
will not discourage the sending of customer orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See e.g., NYSE Arca, Inc. (``Arca'') Options Fees Schedule,
Qualified Contingent Cross Transaction Fees and NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC
(``PHLX'') Pricing Schedule, Section II, Multiply Listed Options
Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the $0.10 per contract credit for the
initiating order side of a QCC transaction is reasonable because
another Exchange also provides a rebate on the initiating order
side.\8\ Additionally, the proposed credit amount is within the range
of the rebate amounts at the other Exchange.\9\ The Exchange believes
the proposed credit is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because it applies to all Trading Permit Holders that enter the
initiating order, regardless of origin code and because it is intended
to incentivize the sending of more QCC orders to the Exchange.
Clarifying in the Fees Schedule that (i) a QCC transaction is comprised
of an `initiating order' to buy (sell) at least 1,000 contracts,
coupled with a contra-side order to sell (buy) an equal number of
contracts, (ii) for complex QCC transactions, the 1,000 contracts
minimum is applied per leg and (iii) the `initiating order' is
considered to be the agency side of a QCC order informs market
participants and alleviates potential confusion. Clarifying that the
credit will be paid to the Trading Permit Holder that enters the order
into the system also alleviates confusion. The alleviation of potential
confusion thereby removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general,
protecting investors and the public interest.

Solicitation Rebate.

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

    Finally, the Exchange believes reorganizing and relocating QCC
related transaction fees (and credits) makes the Fees Schedule easier
to read and alleviates potential confusion, thereby removing
impediments to and perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, protecting investors and
the public interest.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, because the proposes rule
change applies to all Trading Permit Holders. The Exchange believes
this proposal will not cause an unnecessary burden on intermarket
competition because the proposed changes will actually enhance the
competiveness of the Exchange relative to other exchanges which offer
comparable fees and rebates for QCC transactions.\10\ To the extent
that the proposed changes make CBOE a more attractive marketplace for
market participants at other exchanges, such market participants are
welcome to become CBOE market participants.

Solicitation Rebate and PHLX Pricing Schedule, Section II, Multiply
Listed Options Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
thereunder. 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

Removal of Short Supply License Requirements on Exports of Crude
Oil

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes this final
rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to remove the
short supply license requirements that, prior to the entry into force
of the ``Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016'' on December 18, 2015,
applied to exports of crude oil from the United States. Specifically,
this rule removes the Commerce Control List (CCL) entry and the
corresponding short supply provisions in the EAR that required a
license from BIS to export crude oil from the United States. This rule
also amends certain other EAR provisions to reflect the removal of
these short supply license requirements. The changes made by this rule
are intended to bring the provisions of the EAR into full compliance
with the act, which mandates that, apart from certain exemptions
specified therein, ``no official of the Federal Government shall impose
or enforce any restriction on the export of crude oil.'' Consistent
with the exceptions in the act, exports of crude oil continue to
require authorization from BIS to embargoed or sanctioned countries or
persons and to persons subject to a denial of export privileges.

DATES: This rule is effective May 12, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet Seehra,
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by fax to<PHONE_NUMBER>; and to the
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department
of Commerce, 14th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Room 2705,
Washington, DC 20230.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eileen Albanese, Director, Office of
National Security and Technology Transfer Controls, Bureau of Industry
and Security, Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, Email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is
amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to comply with the
requirements of Division O, Title 1, Section 101 of Public Law 114-113
(the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016) concerning exports of crude
oil from the United States. These provisions repeal Section 103 of the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act (formerly, 42 U.S.C. 6212), which
required that the President promulgate a rule prohibiting the export of
crude oil, and mandate, instead, that ``notwithstanding any other
provision of law, except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) . . .
no official of the Federal Government shall impose or enforce any
restriction on the export of crude oil.'' Consistent with this
requirement, this final rule amends part 754 of the EAR by removing and
reserving Sec.  754.2, which described the short supply license
requirements and licensing policies that applied to exports of crude
oil from the United States to all destinations. This rule also amends
the Commerce Control List (CCL) in Supplement No. 1 to part 774 of the
EAR by removing Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 1C981,
which controlled crude petroleum, including reconstituted crude
petroleum, tar sands and crude shale oil listed in Supplement No. 1 to
part 754 of the EAR (Crude Petroleum and Petroleum Products). In
addition, this rule moves the definition of ``crude oil,'' which
previously appeared in Sec.  754.2(a) of the EAR, to Sec.  772.1
(Definitions of terms as used in the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR)), because it continues to have relevance with respect to the end-
user/end-use requirements in part 744 of the EAR and the embargoes and
other special controls in part 746 of the EAR. The scope of this
definition remains unchanged.
    The effect of the changes described above is to remove the short
supply license requirements previously applicable to crude oil, as
controlled under ECCN 1C981, thereby making crude oil an EAR99 item
(i.e., subject to the EAR, as described in Sec.  734.3(a), but no
longer listed on the CCL). As such, crude oil exports will now be
treated

similarly to exports of petroleum products listed in Supplement No. 1
to part 754 that have not been produced or derived from the Naval
Petroleum Reserves (NPR) or become available for export as a result of
an exchange of any NPR produced or derived commodities (such petroleum
products are not controlled under ECCN 1C980, 1C982, 1C983, or 1C984 on
the CCL, but are designated as EAR99 items, instead). As an EAR99 item,
crude oil remains subject to the EAR, as described in Sec.  734.3(a) of
the EAR, and exports of crude oil continue to require authorization
from BIS to embargoed or sanctioned countries or persons and to persons
subject to a denial of export privileges, as described in parts 744,
746, and 764 of the EAR. The continuance of these EAR controls is
consistent with the exemptions stated in Division O, Title 1, Section
101, subsections (c) and (d) of Public Law 114-113.
    This final rule also amends certain other provisions in the EAR to
reflect the removal of the short supply license requirements on crude
oil. Specifically, this rule makes additional amendments to part 754 by
removing and reserving paragraph (b)(1)(i) in Sec.  754.1 and by
removing and reserving Supplement No. 3 to part 754 (Statutory
Provisions Dealing with Exports of Crude Oil). This rule also removes
references to Sec.  754.2 from Supplement No. 1 to part 730 and Sec.
762.2(b)(39). In addition, this rule amends Sec.  740.15 (License
Exception AVS) by removing the parenthetical reference to Sec.  754.2
from Sec.  740.15(b)(3) and by removing the Note to paragraph (c)(3),
which also referenced Sec.  754.2. This rule also removes references to
ECCN 1C981 from Sec.  742.1(b)(1) and Sec.  746.7(a)(1) of the EAR. In
Sec.  744.7 (Restrictions on Certain Exports to and for the use of
Certain Foreign Vessels or Aircraft), paragraphs (b)(3)(i) and (ii) are
revised to remove the exclusions that previously applied to crude oil
and blends of crude oil with other petroleum products, because such
items were subject to the short supply controls described in Sec.
754.2 of the EAR.
    Finally, this rule removes authority citations for statutory
provisions dealing with restrictions on the exports of crude oil, which
no longer provide BIS with enforcement authority, based on Division O,
Title 1, Section 101, subsection (b) of Public Law 114-113, which
prohibits officials of the Federal Government from imposing or
enforcing any restriction on the export of crude oil ``notwithstanding
any other provision of law.'' Specifically, this rule removes the
authority citations to 30 U.S.C. 185(s), 30 U.S.C. 185(u), and 43
U.S.C. 1354 from parts 730, 754, and 774 of the EAR.
    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 13637 of March
8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013), and as extended by the Notice of
August 7, 2015 (80 FR 48233 (Aug. 11, 2015)), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). BIS continues to carry
out the provisions of the Export Administration Act, as appropriate and
to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222 as
amended by Executive Order 13637.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been designated a ``significant regulatory
action,'' although not economically significant, under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule
contains a collection of information subject to the requirements of the
PRA. This collection has been approved by OMB under Control Number
0694-0088 (Multi-Purpose Application), which carries a burden hour
estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. Send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the
burden, to Jasmeet Seehra, Office of Management and Budget, and to the
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department
of Commerce, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity
for public participation are waived for good cause, because they are
``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest.'' (See 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B)). This rule brings the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) into conformity with the Congressional mandate in Division O,
Title 1, Section 101 of Public Law 114-113, which states that
``notwithstanding any other provision of law, except as provided in
subsections (c) and (d) . . . no official of the Federal Government
shall impose or enforce any restrictions on the export of crude oil.''
A delay of this rulemaking to allow for notice and public comment would
be ``unnecessary,'' within the context of the APA, because continuance
of the controls in Sec.  754.2 of the EAR would be contrary to the
explicit mandate in Public Law 114-113 against the imposition or
enforcement of any restriction on the export of crude oil by an
official of the Federal Government. Under such circumstances, the
public interest would not be served by soliciting comments on the
removal of these controls. A delay of this rulemaking to allow for
notice and public comment also would be ``contrary to the public
interest,'' within the context of the APA, because continuance of the
controls in Sec.  754.2 of the EAR would result in unnecessary
confusion due to the obvious contradiction between the short supply
license requirements for crude oil, as described in Sec.  754.2 of the
EAR prior to the publication of this rule, and the Congressional
mandate in Public Law 114-113, which prohibits such license
requirements. Furthermore, the confusion resulting from any delay to
allow for notice and comment would be contrary to the public interest,
as stated in Public Law 114-113, which is ``to promote the efficient
exploration, production, storage, supply, marketing, pricing, and
regulation of energy resources, including fossil fuels.'' Specifically,
the obvious contradiction between the requirements previously described
in Sec.  754.2 of the EAR and the mandate in Public Law 114-113 might
discourage some persons from pursuing crude oil export opportunities,
thereby resulting in significant economic losses due to lost sales. At
best, the confusion

caused by this contradiction likely would result in unnecessary delays,
which also can involve significant economic costs.
    The provision of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring a 30-day delay in effectiveness is also waived for good
cause. (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). The amendments to the EAR contained in
this final rule are required to make the EAR conform to the
Congressional mandate in Public Law 114-113, which states that ``except
as provided in subsections (c) and (d) . . . no official of the Federal
Government shall impose or enforce any restrictions on the export of
crude oil.'' A delay of this rulemaking to allow for a 30-day delay in
effectiveness would be ``unnecessary,'' within the context of the APA,
because continuance of the controls in Sec.  754.2 of the EAR would be
contrary to the explicit mandate in Public Law 114-113 and, as such,
would not serve the public interest. A delay of this rulemaking to
allow for a 30-day delay in effectiveness, also would be ``contrary to
the public interest,'' within the context of the APA, because such a
delay would result in unnecessary confusion caused by the contradiction
between the EAR's short supply license requirements for crude oil and
the Congressional mandate in Public Law 114-113, as described above. In
addition, any delay to allow for notice and comment would be contrary
to the public interest, as stated in Public Law 114-113 and reiterated
above.
    Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking
and an opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule.
Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public
comment are not required to be given for this rule under the
Administrative Procedure Act or by any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable. Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form.

    Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste
Combustors at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb were proposed on September 20,
1994, promulgated on December 19, 1995, and amended on August 25, 1997,
and May 10, 2006. These regulations apply to existing facilities
constructed on or before September 20, 1994 that own and operate
municipal waste combustion (MWC) units with a combustion capacity
greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC
units). The reporting and recordkeeping requirements discussed below
result from the emission guidelines that apply to large MWCs covered by
EPA-approved and effective State plans and, where a State plan has not
been approved, large MWCs covered by the Federal plan. This information
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart
Cb.
    In general, all Emission Guidelines standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to
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. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to
Emission Guidelines.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Large municipal waste combustors.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cb).
    Estimated number of respondents: 77 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 394,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $63,700,000 (per year), includes $1,530,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a small adjustment decrease in
the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This decrease in labor hours is not due to any
program changes. Instead, the slight decrease is due to a decrease in
the number of respondents, and several minor adjustments and updates to
the calculations based on new information collected by the Agency. Two
units were discovered to be affected by the Federal plan, instead of
the State Plan, and thus decreased the burden for Designated State
Administrators. In addition, several units were determined to be
privately owned rather than publicly owned based on new data. There was
a slight decrease in capital/startup and O&M costs because the number
of units changed.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
