Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Alaska:
Infrastructure Requirements for the 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide and 2010
Sulfur Dioxide Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Whenever a new or revised National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) is promulgated, each state must submit a plan for the
implementation, maintenance and enforcement of such standard--commonly
referred to as infrastructure requirements. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the May 12, 2015 Alaska State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission as meeting the infrastructure
requirements for the 2010 nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and 2010
sulfur dioxide (SO2) NAAQS.

DATES: This final rule is effective June 12, 2017.

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

I. Background

    On May 12, 2015, Alaska submitted a SIP to meet the infrastructure
requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 110(a)(1) and (2) for the
2010 NO2 and 2010 SO2 NAAQS. On July 20, 2016,
the EPA proposed to approve the submission as meeting certain
infrastructure requirements (81 FR 47103). Please see our proposed
rulemaking for further explanation and the basis for our finding. The
public comment period for this proposal ended on August 19, 2016. We
received one comment, from Robert Ukeiley.

II. Response to Comment

    Comment: The ``EPA must disapprove 110(a)(2)(C) because the Alaska
SIP does not require that minor sources cannot obtain a minor source
permit if they will cause or contribute to a violation of any of the
current NAAQS. Furthermore, for some pollutants, the Alaska SIP has
thresholds below which sources do not have to demonstrate that they
will not cause or contribute to a violation of that NAAQS. However,
there is no evidence that sources below these thresholds cannot cause
or contribute to a NAAQS violation. Rather, these thresholds are
arbitrary numbers.''
    Response: The EPA agrees that CAA section 110(a)(2)(C) and the
minor new source review regulations at 40 CFR 51.160 through 51.164
require SIPs to include procedures by which the state or local agency
responsible for final decision-making on an application or approval to
construct or modify will prevent such construction or modification if
it will interfere with the attainment or maintenance of a national
standard or if it will result in a violation of applicable portions of
the control strategy. See 40 CFR 51.160(b). The EPA explained its
approach to reviewing the minor source element of CAA section
110(a)(2)(C) in its proposed rulemaking for this action: ``Thus, the
EPA evaluates whether the state has an EPA-approved minor new source
review program and whether the program addresses the pollutants
relevant to that NAAQS. In the context of acting on an infrastructure
SIP submission, however, the EPA does not think it is necessary to
conduct a review of each and every provision of a state's existing
minor source program (i.e., already in the existing SIP) for compliance
with the requirements of the CAA and the EPA's regulations that pertain
to such programs.'' See 81 FR 47103 at 47106 (July 20, 2016).
    In its 2010 NO2 and 2010 SO2 NAAQS
infrastructure SIP submission, Alaska certified that its SIP contains
provisions to address the CAA section 110(a)(2)(C) requirements
regarding new minor sources and modifications in Article 5 (minor
permits) of Alaska's air quality control regulations set forth at 18
AAC 50. Alaska's SIP-approved minor new source review program addresses
NAAQS pollutants, including NO2 and SO2. The
commenter objects to these SIP-approved rules for two reasons. First,
the commenter asserts that the rules do not address the non-
interference component for the minor new source/minor modification
permitting element. However, we disagree with the commenter. Alaska's
SIP-approved rules include provisions to deny a minor new source
construction/modification permit if the source at issue will result in
a violation of an ambient air quality standard. See 18 AAC 542(f)
Approval Criteria.
    The commenter also objects to these SIP-approved rules because they
include emissions thresholds below which a minor new source review
permit may not be required. See 18 AAC 50.502. We agree with the
commenter that Alaska's rules do include emissions thresholds for both
new sources and modifications with respect to certain pollutants,
including NO2 and SO2, below which minor new
source review permits may not be required. The EPA's requirements for
SIP-approved minor new source review programs do not require a state to
permit each and every stationary source no matter how small, but rather
require that a state specifically identify the types and sizes of
facilities that will be subject to review. See 40 CFR 51.160(e). We
have previously found that Alaska's current program meets all minor new
source review permitting requirements set forth at 40 CFR 51.160
through 40 CFR 51.164, including this requirement (September 19, 2014;
79 FR 56268). Therefore, we are finalizing our action.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is approving the May 12, 2015 Alaska SIP submission as
meeting the following CAA section 110(a)(2) infrastructure elements for
the 2010 NO2 and 2010 SO2 NAAQS: (A), (B), (C),
(D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M). We
note that the May 12, 2015 submission also included revisions to
Alaska's transportation conformity regulations, approved on September
8, 2015 (80 FR 53735), and updates to general air quality and
permitting regulations, approved on May 19, 2016 (81 FR 31511).

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because this action does not involve technical standards; and
     does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian Tribe
has demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have Tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a

``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under CAA section 307(b)(1), petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by July 11, 2017. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See CAA section 307(b)(2)).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54691; File No. SR-Amex-2006-103]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Eliminating the Post-Trade Allocation Feature in ANTE

November 2, 2006.
    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 27, 2006, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') submitted to 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 Amex. The
Exchange filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with
the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to eliminate the concept of post-trade
allocation codified in Amex Rule 935-ANTE(b). The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the Amex's Web site at http://amex.com, the

Amex'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, Amex 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 eliminate Amex Rule 935-ANTE (b),
governing ANTE post-trade allocation. Amex Rule 935-ANTE (b) currently
provides for the post-trade allocation of contracts executed as the
result of the submission of orders to trade with orders in the ANTE
Central Book. Amex Rule 935-ANTE (b)(2) provides that if more than one
ANTE Participant \5\ and/or a floor broker representing a customer
order submits an order to trade with an order in the ANTE Central book,
within a period not to exceed five seconds after the initial ANTE
Participant has submitted its order, all those ANTE Participants and
the floor broker's customer will be entitled to participate in the
allocation of any executed contracts. Amex Rule 935-ANTE (b)(2)
provides that the ANTE Participant to first submit the order to trade
would be allocated executed contracts up to a size established on a
class-by-class basis by the Options Trading Committee and referred to
as the ``Take Size.'' The initial ANTE Participant receives the lesser
of the number of executed contracts in his indicated order size or the
``Take Size.'' The Options Trading Committee considers the option's
liquidity and the size of the trading crowd in determining the
appropriate ``Take Size'' for each option class. They are responsible
for reviewing and in some cases revising the assigned ``Take Size'' on
a periodic basis, but do not change a ``Take Size'' during the course
of a trading day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Amex Rule 900-ANTE (b)(45) defines ANTE Participant as
either the specialist, registered options trader(s), Remote
Registered Options Trader or Supplemental Registered Options Trader,
assigned to trade a specific options class on the ANTE System.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Other Exchanges have moved towards electronic trading, where the
notion of ``Take-Size'' does not exist.\6\ The Exchange believes that
eliminating the concept of ``Take-Size'' at the Amex will further
encourage competition with the liquidity providers on the Exchange's
Floor. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes that ANTE Participants will
no longer be limited by the post-trade allocation process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See ISE Rule 714 and NYSEArca Rule 6.76B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6 of the Act \7\ in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) \8\ in particular in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system.

    \8\ 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
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to 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)(iii) of the Act \9\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4
\10\ thereunder because it 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; and the Exchange has given the Commission
written notice of its intention to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to filing. At any time within 60 days of
the filing of such 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) of the Act,\11\ the proposal does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of its filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest. Amex has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative

delay so that it may implement the proposal as quickly as possible. The
Commission believes that the proposal raises no issues of regulatory
concern. Therefore, the Commission, consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, has determined to waive the 30-day
operative date so that the proposal may take effect upon filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Id.
    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 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

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0002]

Data and Data Needs To Advance Risk Assessment for Emerging
Infectious Diseases Relevant to Blood and Blood Products; Public
Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public
workshop entitled: ``Data and Data Needs to Advance Risk Assessment for
Emerging Infectious Diseases Relevant to Blood and Blood Products.''
The purpose of the public workshop is to discuss data and data sources
currently used by FDA, possible new sources of data, and development of
new studies and information through collaboration with stakeholders.
The public workshop will include presentations and panel discussions
with experts from stakeholders, academia, regulated industry, and
government.
    Date and Time: The public workshop will be held on November 29,
2011, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    Location: The public workshop will be held at the Gaithersburg
Hilton, 620 Perry Pkwy., Gaithersburg, MD 20877,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Contact Person: Lou Gallagher, Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research (HFM-210), Food and Drug Administration, 1401 Rockville Pike,
Suite 200N, Rockville, MD 20852-1448,

301-827-5988, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Registration: Mail, fax, or e-mail your registration information
(including name, title, firm name, address, telephone and fax numbers)
to Lou Gallagher (see Contact Person) by November 10, 2011. There is no
registration fee for the public workshop. Early registration is
recommended because seating is limited. Registration on the day of the
public workshop will be provided on a space available basis beginning
at 8 a.m.
    If you need special accommodations due to a disability, please
contact Lou Gallagher (see Contact Person) at least 7 days in advance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Quantitative risk assessments (QRAs) are an
important tool for evaluating the risks associated with new emerging
infectious diseases (EIDs) that are relevant to blood and blood
products and the benefits of mitigation options. QRAs make it possible
for decisionmakers to develop policy for blood and blood product safety
and availability using sound science and the best data and information
available.
    Rapid data collection, information sharing, and analyses estimating
the magnitude and probability of risk can be expedited by proactively
building and maintaining critical relationships both within the Center
for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and with external
stakeholders. In this public workshop, CBER is seeking access to
accurate, reliable data on factors such as disease prevalence,
incubation periods, behavioral risks associated with disease
transmission, potential donor exposure risks, and susceptibility to
EIDs, product handling, usage, and other factors.
    Lack of data and information is a major challenge FDA faces when
there is a new EID. The public workshop will: (1) Provide a forum for
discussion of data used in conducting quantitative risk assessments for
EIDs, (2) address approaches to facilitate the timely access to data
required to evaluate public health measures designed to reduce the
potential risk associated with EIDs that are relevant to blood and
blood products, and (3) provide a forum for discussion of the
development of new data sources and enhanced access to already existing
data sources.
    Transcripts: Please be advised that as soon as possible after a
transcript of the public workshop is available, it will be accessible
on the Internet at: http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/NewsEvents/WorkshopsMeetingsConferences/TranscriptsMinutes/default.htm.
Transcripts of the public workshop may also be requested in writing
from the Division of Freedom of Information (ELEM-1029), Food and Drug
Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr., Rockville, MD 20857.

    Dated: October 6, 2011.

Littoral Power Systems, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 17, 2021, the Littoral Power Systems, Inc. filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed
Kootznahoo Inlet Tidal Power Project No. 15110-000, to be located on
Kootznahoo Inlet and adjacent lands of the City of Angoon, in Hoonah-
Angoon Borough, Alaska. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A
partially buoyant submersed tidal current energy converter with a 3-
meter-diameter rotor tethered to an anchor post driven into the seabed
in Kootznahoo inlet generating up to 300 kW; (2) a dual electric cable,
each with a capacity of 13.2 kV, connecting to an on-land storage
system; and (3) an on-land energy storage system in the City of Angoon
consisting of individual lithium-ion battery cells. The Kootznahoo
Inlet Tidal Power Project does not intend to directly connect to the
Angoon electricity system. The capacity of the on-land storage system
is 250kW and estimated average annual generation is not yet determined.
