subject to the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of the UMRA.
    This action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203
of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This finding does
not impose any requirements on industry or other entities.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. Because this
action does not impose requirements on any entities, it will not have
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as
specified in Executive Order 13132. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does
not apply to this action.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action does
not have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, nor does it impose any enforceable duties
on any Indian tribes. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to
this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets EO 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying
only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks,
such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the EO has the
potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to EO
13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended
to mitigate health or safety risks. Although the Administrator
considered health and safety risks as part of these Findings, the
Findings themselves do not impose a standard intended to mitigate those
risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy because it does not impose any
requirements.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. at 272
note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus

standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test
methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA
directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the
Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus
standards.
    This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA
did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629, Feb. 16, 1994) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
    EPA has determined that these Findings will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. Although the Administrator considered climate change risks
to minority or low-income populations as part of these Findings, this
action does not impose a standard intended to mitigate those risks and
does not impose requirements on any entities.

K. Congressional Review Act

    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. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States. This
action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This rule
will be effective January 14, 2010.

    Dated: December 7, 2009.

Administrator.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-420, OMB Control No. 3235-0479]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 15c2-7

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission

(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the previously
approved collection of information provided for in Rule 15c2-7 (17 CFR
240.15c2-7) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.).
    Rule 15c2-7 places disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who
have correspondent relationships, or agreements identified in the rule,
with other broker-dealers. Whenever any such broker-dealer enters a
quotation for a security through an inter-dealer quotation system, Rule
15c2-7 requires the broker-dealer to disclose these relationships and
agreements in the manner required by the rule. The inter-dealer
quotation system must also be able to make these disclosures public in
association with the quotation the broker-dealer is making.
    When Rule 15c2-7 was adopted in 1964, the information it requires
was necessary for execution of the Commission's mandate under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to prevent fraudulent, manipulative and
deceptive acts by broker-dealers. In the absence of the information
collection required under Rule 15c2-7, investors and broker-dealers
would have been unable to accurately determine the market depth of, and
demand for, securities in an inter-dealer quotation system.
    There are approximately 3,939 broker-dealers registered with the
Commission. Any of these broker-dealers could be potential respondents
for Rule 15c2-7, so the Commission is using that number as the number
of respondents. Rule 15c2-7 applies only to quotations entered into an
inter-dealer quotation system, such as the OTC Bulletin Board
(``OTCBB'') or OTC Link (formerly ``Pink Sheets''), operated by OTC
Markets Group Inc. (``OTC Link''). According to representatives of both
OTC Link and the OTCBB, neither entity has recently received, or
anticipates receiving any Rule 15c2-7 notices. However, because such
notices could be made, the Commission estimates that one filing is made
annually pursuant to Rule 15c2-7.
    Based on prior industry reports, the Commission estimates that the
average time required to enter a disclosure pursuant to the rule is .75
minutes, or 45 seconds. The Commission sees no reason to change this
estimate. We estimate that impacted respondents spend a total of .0125
hours per year to comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-7 (1 notice
(x) 45 seconds/notice).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:
[email protected]; and (ii) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an
email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within
30 days of this notice.

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemptions from the
vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for
25 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals
from the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not
compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these
exemption renewals will provide a level of safety that is equivalent
to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained without the
exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

p.m. Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 25 individuals who have requested a renewal
of their exemption in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 25 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are

Calvin D. Atwood
Gregory W. Babington
William P. Doolittle
Jonathan M. Gentry
John N. Guilford
Benny D. Hatton, Jr.
Robert W. Healey, Jr.
Nathaniel H. Herbert, Jr.
Thomas D. Lambert
Thomas W. Markham
Raul Martinez
Joseph L. Mast
David McKinney
Kevin L. Moody
Charles W. Mullenix
Gary S. Partridge
Nathan D. Peterson
John N. Poland
Brent L. Seaux
Steven R. Smith
James T. Smith
Edd J. Stabler, Jr.
Gary M. Wolff
John C. Young
George R. Zenor

    These exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual have a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and
(b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise
physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual
provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the
medical examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (3)
that each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification
to the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file and
retain a copy of the certification on his/her person while driving for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official. Each exemption will be valid for two years unless rescinded
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date

and may be renewed upon application for additional two year periods. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 25 applicants
has satisfied the entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the
vision requirements (66 FR 30502; 66 FR 41654; 68 FR 44837; 70 FR
41811; 68 FR 54775; 70 FR 53412; 68 FR 37197; 68 FR 48989; 70 FR 42615;
70 FR 48797; 70 FR 61493). Each of these 25 applicants has requested
renewal of the exemption and has submitted evidence showing that the
vision in the better eye continues to meet the standard specified at 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision impairment is stable. In
addition, a review of each record of safety while driving with the
respective vision deficiencies over the past two years indicates each
applicant continues to meet the vision exemption standards. These
factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability
to continue to drive safely in interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA
concludes that extending the exemption for each renewal applicant for a
period of two years is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to
that existing without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by October 29, 2007.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 25 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was based on the merits of each
case and only after careful consideration of the comments received to
its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all of these drivers, are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OECA-2015-0002; FRL-9925-89-OECA]

Inquiry To Learn Whether Businesses Assert Business
Confidentiality Claims Regarding Waste Import and Export

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) receives from time
to time Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documentation
received or issued by EPA or data contained in EPA database systems
pertaining to the export and import of Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste from/to the United States, the
export of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and spent lead acid batteries
(SLABs) from the United States, and the export and import of RCRA
universal

waste from/to the United States. These documents and data may identify
or reference multiple parties, and describe transactions involving the
movement of specified materials in which the parties propose to
participate or have participated. The purpose of this notice is to
inform ``affected businesses'' about the documents or data sought by
these types of FOIA requests in order to provide the businesses with
the opportunity to assert claims that any of the information sought
that pertains to them is entitled to treatment as confidential business
information (CBI), and to send comments to EPA supporting their claims
for such treatment. Certain businesses, however, do not meet the
definition of ``affected business,'' and are not covered by today's
notice. They consist of any business that actually submitted to EPA any
document at issue pursuant to applicable RCRA regulatory requirements
and did not assert a CBI claim as to information that pertains to that
business in connection with the document at the time of its submission;
they have waived their right to do so at a later time. Nevertheless,
other businesses identified or referenced in the documents that were
submitted to EPA by the submitting business may have a right to assert
a CBI claim concerning information that pertains to them and may do so
in response to this notice.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 11, 2015. The period
for submission of comments may be extended if, before the comments are
due, you make a request for an extension of the comment period and it
is approved by the EPA legal office. Except in extraordinary
circumstances, the EPA legal office will not approve such an extension
without the consent of any person whose request for release of the
information under the FOIA is pending.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OECA-2015-0002, by one of the following methods:
     http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting comments.
     Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     Address: Eva Kreisler, International Compliance Assurance
Division, Office of Federal Activities, Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance, Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2254A,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OECA-
2015-0002. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, 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 be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or email. Instructions about how to submit comments
claimed as CBI are given later in this notice.
    The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access''
system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you
send an email comment directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically captured
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket
and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic
comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact
information in the body of your comment. Please include your name and
other contact information with any disk or CD-ROM you submit by mail.
If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and
cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider
your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special

and 265.12(a)(1) and import consent documentation under 40 CFR
264.71(a)3) and 265.71(a)(3).

I. General Information

    EPA has previously published notices similar to this one in the
Federal Register, the latest one being at 79 FR 7662, February 10, 2014
that address issues similar to those raised by today's notice. The
Agency did not receive any comments on the previous notices. Since the
publication of the February 10, 2014 the Agency has continued to
receive FOIA requests for documents and data contained in EPA's
database related to hazardous waste exports and imports.

II. Issues Covered by This Notice

    Specifically, EPA receives FOIA requests from time to time for
documentation or data related to

hazardous waste exports and imports that may identify or reference
multiple parties, and that describe transactions involving the movement
of specified materials in which the parties propose to participate or
have participated. This notice informs ``affected businesses,'' \1\
which could include, among others, ``transporters,'' \2\ and
``consignees,'' \3\ of the requests for information in EPA database
systems and/or contained in one or more of the following documents: (1)
Documents related to the export of Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) hazardous waste, during calendar year 2014 or before, under
40 CFR part 262, subparts E and H, including but not limited to the
``notification of intent to export,'' \4\ ``manifests,'' \5\ ``annual
reports,'' \6\ ``EPA acknowledgements of consent,'' \7\ ``any
subsequent communication withdrawing a prior consent or objection,''
\8\ ``responses that neither consent nor object,'' ``exception
reports,'' \9\ ``transit notifications,'' \10\ and ``renotifications'';
\11\ (2) documents related to the import of hazardous waste, during
calendar year 2014 or before, under 40 CFR part 262, subparts F and H,
including but not limited to notifications of intent to import
hazardous waste into the U.S. from foreign countries; (3) documents
related to the transit of hazardous waste, during calendar year 2014 or
before, under 40 CFR part 262, subpart H, including notifications from
U.S. exporters of intent to transit through foreign countries, or
notifications from foreign countries of intent to transit through the
U.S.; (4) documents related to the export of cathode ray tubes (CRTs),
during calendar year 2014 or before, under 40 CFR part 261, subpart E,
including but not limited to notifications of intent to export CRTs;
(5) documents related to the export of non-crushed spent lead acid
batteries (SLABs) with intact casings, during calendar year 2014 or
before, under 40 CFR part 266 subpart G, including but not limited to
notifications of intent to export SLABs; (6) submissions from
transporters under 40 CFR part 263, or from treatment, storage or
disposal facilities under 40 CFR parts 264 and 265, related to exports
or imports of hazardous waste which occurred during calendar year 2014
or before, including receiving facility notices under 40 CFR
264.12(a)(1) and 265.12(a)(1) and import consent documentation under 40
CFR 264.71(a)(3) and 265.71(a)(3); and (7) documents related to the
export and import of RCRA ``universal waste'' \12\ under 40 CFR part
273, subparts B, C, D, and F.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The term ``affected business'' is defined at 40 CFR
2.201(d), and is set forth in this notice, below.
    \2\ The term ``transporter'' is defined at 40 CFR 260.10.
    \3\ The term ``consignee'' is defined, for different purposes,
at 40 CFR 262.51 and 262.81(c).
    \4\ The term ``notification of intent to export'' is described
at 40 CFR 262.53.
    \5\ The term ``manifest'' is defined at 40 CFR 260.10.
    \6\ The term ``annual reports'' is described at 40 CFR 262.56.
    \7\ The term ``EPA acknowledgement of consent'' is defined at 40
CFR 262.51.
    \8\ The requirement to forward to the exporter ``any subsequent
communication withdrawing a prior consent or objection'' is found at
42 U.S.C. 6938(e).
    \9\ The term ``exception reports'' is described at 40 CFR
262.55.
    \10\ The term ``transit notifications'' is described at 40 CFR
262.53(e).
    \11\ The term ``renotifications'' is described at 40 CFR
262.53(c).
    \12\ The term ``universal waste'' is defined at 40 CFR 273.9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain businesses, however, do not meet the definition of
``affected business,'' and are not covered by today's notice. They
consist of any business that actually submitted information responsive
to a FOIA request, under the authority of 40 CFR parts 260 through 266
and 268, and did not assert a claim of business confidentiality
covering any of that information at the time of submission. As set
forth in the RCRA regulations at 40 CFR 260.2(b), ``if no such
[business confidentiality] claim accompanies the information when it is
received by EPA, it may be made available to the public without further
notice to the person submitting it.'' Thus, for purposes of this notice
and as a general matter under 40 CFR 260.2(b), a business that
submitted to EPA the documents at issue, pursuant to applicable
regulatory requirements, and that failed to assert a claim as to
information that pertains to it at the time of submission, cannot later
make a business confidentiality claim.\13\ Nevertheless, other
businesses identified or referenced in the same documents that were
submitted to EPA by the submitting business may have a right to assert
a CBI claim concerning information that pertains to them and may do so
in response to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ However, businesses having submitted information to EPA
relating to the export and import of RCRA universal waste are not
subject to 40 CFR 260.2(b) since they submitted information in
accordance with 40 CFR part 273, and not parts 260 through 266 and
268, as set forth in 40 CFR 260.2(b). They are therefore affected
businesses that could make a claim of CBI at the time of submission
or in response to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, EPA may develop its own documents and organize into
its database systems information that was originally contained in
documents from submitting businesses relating to exports and imports of
hazardous waste. If a submitting business fails to assert a CBI claim
for the documents it submits to EPA at the time of submission, not only
does it waive its right to claim CBI for those documents, but it also
waives its right to claim CBI for information in EPA's documents or
databases that is based on or derived from the documents that were
originally submitted by that business.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ With the exception, noted above, of the submission of
information relating to the export and import of RCRA universal
waste.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 40 CFR 2.204(c) and (e), this notice inquires
whether any affected business asserts a claim that any of the requested
information constitutes CBI, and affords such business an opportunity
to comment to EPA on the issue. This notice also informs affected
businesses that, if a claim is made, EPA would determine under 40 CFR
part 2, subpart B, whether any of the requested information is entitled
to business confidential treatment.

1. Affected Businesses

    EPA's FOIA regulations at 40 CFR 2.204(c)(1) require an EPA office
that is responsible for responding to a FOIA request for the release of
business information (``EPA office'') to determine which businesses, if
any, are affected businesses. ``Affected business'' is defined at 40
CFR 2.201(d) as: With reference to an item of business information, a
business which has asserted (and not waived or withdrawn) a business
confidentiality claim covering the information, or a business which
could be expected to make such a claim if it were aware that disclosure
of the information to the public was proposed.

2. The Purposes of This Notice

    This notice encompasses two distinct steps in the process of
communication with affected businesses prior to EPA's making a final
determination concerning the business confidentiality of the
information at issue: The preliminary inquiry and the notice of
opportunity to comment.
a. Inquiry To Learn Whether Affected Businesses (Other Than Those
Businesses That Previously Asserted a CBI Claim) Assert Claims Covering
any of the Requested Information
    Section 2.204(c)(2)(i) provides, in relevant part: If the
examination conducted under paragraph (c)(1) of Sec.  2.204 discloses
the existence of any business which, although it has not asserted a
claim, might be expected to assert a claim if it knew EPA proposed

to disclose the information, the EPA office shall contact a responsible
official of each such business to learn whether the business asserts a
claim covering the information.
b. Notice of Opportunity To Submit Comments
    Sections 2.204(d)(1)(i) and 2.204(e)(1) of title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations require that written notice be provided to
businesses that have made claims of business confidentiality for any of
the information at issue, stating that EPA is determining under 40 CFR
part 2, subpart B, whether the information is entitled to business
confidential treatment, and affording each business an opportunity to
comment as to the reasons why it believes that the information deserves
business confidential treatment.

3. The Use of Publication in the Federal Register

    Section 2.204(e)(1) of title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
requires that this type of notice be furnished by certified mail
(return receipt requested), by personal delivery, or by other means
which allows verification of the fact and date of receipt. EPA,
however, has determined that in the present circumstances the use of a
Federal Register notice is a practical and efficient way to contact
affected businesses and to furnish the notice of opportunity to submit
comments. The Agency's decision to follow this course was made in
recognition of the administrative difficulty and impracticality of
directly contacting potentially thousands of individual businesses.

4. Submission of Your Response in the English Language

    All responses to this notice must be in the English language.

5. The Effect of Failure To Respond to This Notice

    In accordance with 40 CFR 2.204(e)(1) and 2.205(d)(1), EPA will
construe your failure to furnish timely comments in response to this
notice as a waiver of your business's claim(s) of business
confidentiality for any information in the types of documents
identified in this notice.

6. What To Include in Your Comments

    If you believe that any of the information contained in the types
of documents which are described in this notice and which are
currently, or may become, subject to FOIA requests, is entitled to
business confidential treatment, please specify which portions of the
information you consider business confidential. Information not
specifically identified as subject to a business confidentiality claim
may be disclosed to the requestor without further notice to you.
    For each item or class of information that you identify as being
subject to your claim, please answer the following questions, giving as
much detail as possible:
    1. For what period of time do you request that the information be
maintained as business confidential, e.g., until a certain date, until
the occurrence of a specified event, or permanently? If the occurrence
of a specific event will eliminate the need for business
confidentiality, please specify that event.
    2. Information submitted to EPA becomes stale over time. Why should
the information you claim as business confidential be protected for the
time period specified in your answer to question no. 1?
    3. What measures have you taken to protect the information claimed
as business confidential? Have you disclosed the information to anyone
other than a governmental body or someone who is bound by an agreement
not to disclose the information further? If so, why should the
information still be considered business confidential?
    4. Is the information contained in any publicly available material
such as the Internet, publicly available data bases, promotional
publications, annual reports, or articles? Is there any means by which
a member of the public could obtain access to the information? Is the
information of a kind that you would customarily not release to the
public?
    5. Has any governmental body made a determination as to the
business confidentiality of the information? If so, please attach a
copy of the determination.
    6. For each category of information claimed as business
confidential, explain with specificity why and how release of the
information is likely to cause substantial harm to your competitive
position. Explain the specific nature of those harmful effects, why
they should be viewed as substantial, and the causal relationship
between disclosure and such harmful effects. How could your competitors
make use of this information to your detriment?
    7. Do you assert that the information is submitted on a voluntary
or a mandatory basis? Please explain the reason for your assertion. If
the business asserts that the information is voluntarily submitted
information, please explain whether and why disclosure of the
information would tend to lessen the availability to EPA of similar
information in the future.
    8. Any other issue you deem relevant.
    Please note that you bear the burden of substantiating your
business confidentiality claim. Conclusory allegations will be given
little or no weight in the determination. If you wish to claim any of
the information in your response as business confidential, you must
mark the response ``BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL'' or with a similar
designation, and must bracket all text so claimed. Information so
designated will be disclosed by EPA only to the extent allowed by, and
by means of, the procedures set forth in, 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. If
you fail to claim the information as business confidential, it may be
made available to the requestor without further notice to you.

III. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
http://www.regulations.gov or email. Please submit this information by
mail to the address identified in the ADDRESSES section of today's
notice for inclusion in the non-public CBI docket. 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.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
the procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. In addition to
the submission of 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.
    2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
     Identify the notice by docket number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
use of profanity or personal threats.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
     Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain transport category airplanes identified above. This AD requires
modifying the fuel boost pumps. This AD results from a fuel boost pump
found with blown thermal fuses and a fractured thrust washer. We are
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the fuel boost pumps, which could
lead to the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks. This
condition, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in
fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 2, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of October 2,
2008.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain
McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10 and DC-10-10F airplanes, Model DC-10-
15 airplanes, Model DC-10-30 and DC-10-30F (KC-10A and KDC-10)
airplanes, Model DC-10-40 and DC-10-40F airplanes, Model MD-10-10F and
MD-10-30F airplanes, and Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes. That
supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 7,
2008 (73 FR 12301). That supplemental NPRM proposed to require
modifying the fuel boost pumps.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comments received.

Support for the Supplemental NPRM

    FedEx agrees with the technical aspects of the supplemental NPRM.

Request to Allow Use of Parts Manufacture Approval (PMA) Parts

    Wencor West requests that we revise the supplemental NPRM to allow
the use of PMA part numbers (P/Ns) 60-84744WE, 60-06561WE, 60-01317WE,
and 60-02927WE as acceptable means of compliance for the replacement of
Hydro-Aire fuel boost pumps having P/Ns 60-84744, 60-06561, 60-01317,
and 60-02927, respectively. Wencor West states that these PMA parts
were developed through the test and computation method governed by
section 21.303 (``Replacement and modification parts'') of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.303) and FAA Order 8110-42B. Wencor
West also states that the FAA found the PMA parts to be equal to and
interchangeable with the Hydro-Aire parts. In addition, Wencor West
requests that we clarify that certain other PMA parts, which may be
used when doing further maintenance or overhaul of the pump, continue
to be approved as equivalents to the original equipment manufacturer
parts.
    We disagree with revising this AD. Boeing conducted safety
assessments of the fuel tank systems approved by the Los Angeles
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO). As a result, we issued AD 2008-06-
21, amendment 39-15433 (73 FR 14673, March 19, 2008), to require
revising the FAA-approved maintenance program to incorporate new
Airworthiness Limitations for the fuel tank systems to satisfy the
requirements of Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88. That AD, in
part, addressed maintenance of the fuel boost pumps. Any deviation from
the safety assessment conducted by Boeing, including the use of PMA
parts on the fuel boost pumps, must be approved by the Manager, Los
Angeles ACO. Consequently, all previously approved PMA parts must be
re-evaluated to determine whether an equivalent level of safety for
each part meets the approved safety assessment. Therefore, engineering
design approval of the PMA parts manufactured by Wencor West must be
approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) under the
provisions of paragraph (h) of this AD. We will consider requests for
approval of an AMOC if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate
that the design change would provide an acceptable level of safety. We
have not changed the AD in this regard.

Request to Revise Cost of Compliance

    FedEx requests that we revise the Costs of Compliance section of
the supplemental NPRM to reflect a figure that is more representative
of an operator's cost. FedEx points out that Crane Hydro-Aire Service
Bulletin 60-847-28-3, dated July 2, 2007, estimates that replacement
parts cost $639.64, labor costs $445.50, and removal and installation
of the fuel pump cost $107.80. These figures total $1,192.94 per fuel
pump. Given that this AD affects about 360 airplanes of U.S. registry
equipped with 10 to 19 fuel pumps, FedEx estimates that the total fleet
cost is between $4,294,584 and $8,159,709, or between $11,929 and
$22,665 per airplane.
    FedEx also points out that Crane Hydro-Aire Service Bulletin 60-
847-28-3 states that if a pump assembly requires additional repair,
then the repair will be quoted separately. FedEx states that it would
be unrealistic to think that there will not be repair/overhaul costs
associated with this modification. FedEx's experience has shown that
about 80 percent of the fuel pumps, removed due to inspection or
modification, resulted in repair or overhaul of the pump. FedEx,
therefore, estimates that at least 50 percent of the fuel pumps in-
service will need to be repaired or overhauled at a cost of $5,000 per
pump. FedEx estimates that repair/overhaul will cost at least
$9,000,000 (360 airplanes x 5 pumps x $5,000). FedEx states that this
cost for repair/overhaul of the fuel pump should also be included in
the Costs of Compliance section.
    We disagree with revising the Costs of Compliance section. When
developing the Costs of Compliance for an AD we take into account the
estimated work hours and parts cost provided by the manufacturer.
Paragraph 1.G. of Crane Hydro-Aire Service Bulletin 60-847-28-3
estimates that the modification would take about 3 work hours, which we
used with our estimated average labor rate of $80 per work hour to
determine the total labor costs. The economic analysis, however, is
limited only to the cost of actions actually required by the rule. It
does not consider the costs of routine maintenance. We have not changed
the AD in this regard.

Clarification of AMOC Paragraph

    We have revised this action to clarify the appropriate procedure
for notifying the principal inspector before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD with the change described previously.
We have determined that this change will neither increase the economic
burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 512 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This AD affects about 360 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The required modification takes about 3 work hours per fuel boost pump,
at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Required parts cost
about $640 per fuel boost pump. Depending on the airplane
configuration, there are between 10 and 19 fuel boost pumps per
airplane. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of this AD for
U.S. operators is between $3,168,000 and $6,019,200, or between $8,800
and $16,720 per airplane.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

    k. Project Description: The proposed project would be located at
the Commonwealth of Kentucky's existing Kentucky River Lock and Dam No.
11, which was originally constructed from 1904 to 1906 by the U.S.
Corps of Engineers for the purpose of transportation. There is a single
lock chamber with a total length of 148 feet and width of 52 feet on
the south end of the dam. However, a concrete bulkhead and miter gates
were installed in front of the lock structure and it is no longer being
used for navigational purposes. The Kentucky River Authority currently
operates the dam to maintain the upriver channel depth and an
impoundment to withdraw water for municipal drinking water purposes.
The impoundment also serves the purposes of providing opportunities for
recreation and habitat for fish and wildlife.
    The proposed project would be operated in a run-of-river mode. The
proposed project would include: (1) The existing 579-acre impoundment,
with a normal pool elevation of 585.60 feet North American Vertical
Datum of 1988; (2) the existing 208-foot-long, 35-foot-high fixed crest
dam; (3) a new 3.5-foot-high adjustable crest gate attached to the top
of the dam that would be used to maintain the water surface elevation
of the impoundment during project operations (i.e., when inflow would
be diverted from the spillway to the proposed turbines); (4) a new 275-
foot-long, 75-foot-wide reinforced concrete intake channel equipped
with trashracks with 3-inch bar spacing; (5) a new 140-foot-long, 64.5-
foot-wide powerhouse built within the existing lock structure, with two
horizontal Pit Kaplan turbine generator units each rated at 2.5
megawatts (MW) for a total installed capacity of 5 MW; (6) a new 190-
foot-long, 78-foot-wide tailrace; (7) a new 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide
substation; (8) a new approximately 4.5-mile-long, 69-kilovolt
transmission line extending from the new substation at the powerhouse
to an existing substation located near Waco, Kentucky; and (9)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would generate about
18,500 megawatt-hours annually, which would be sold to a local utility.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-66785; File No. SR-FICC-2012-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Make a Technical Correction to
the Rule Relating to the Calculation of Funds-Only Settlement Amounts
for Repo Brokers

April 11, 2012.

I. Introduction

    On February 14, 2012, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation
(``FICC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change SR-FICC-2012-01 pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\
and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder. The proposed rule change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on March 5, 2012.\3\ The Commission
received no comment letters regarding the proposal. For the reasons
discussed below, the Commission is granting approval of the proposed
rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-66485 (February 28,
2012), 77 FR 13164 (March 5, 2012). In its filing with the
Commission, FICC included statements concerning the purpose of and
basis for the proposed rule change. The text of these statements is
incorporated into the discussion of the proposed rule change in
Section II below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    The proposed rule change consists of modifications to Rule 19,
Section 4 of the rules of the Government Securities Division (``GSD'')
of FICC. The purpose of the rule change is to make technical
corrections to GSD Rule 19 (Special Provisions For Brokered Repo
Transactions), Section 4 (Calculations of Funds-Only Settlement Amounts
for Repo Brokers) as described below. GSD Rule 19, Section 4 states
that FICC may retain any amount of a Credit Forward Mark Adjustment
Payment that is in excess of the Cap \4\ and that interest earned on
such amount shall be paid to the Repo Broker on the subsequent business
day. The second part of this sentence is incorrectly stated because
FICC pays interest to those who were debited forward mark adjustment
amounts not those who were credited such amounts. On the following day
(i.e., the day after the broker received the Credit Forward Mark
Adjustment Payment) when the broker is debited the interest for the use
of funds it received as a credit, the broker will be debited the
interest on the amount that it actually received as a credit (i.e., it
will not be debited interest for the amount of Credit payment withheld
above the Cap). The rule is also revised to state that Repo Brokers
with more than one Segregated Repo Account must aggregate Debit Forward
Mark Adjustments and Credit Forward Mark Adjustment Payments in those
accounts for purposes of the Cap. The Repo Brokers currently comply
with this correction and the revision reflects current practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The GSD rules define ``Cap'' as any Debit Forward Mark
Adjustment Payment or Credit Forward Mark Adjustment Payment up to a
dollar amount, as determined by FICC from time to time, that is
automatically collected from or paid to the Repo Broker, as
applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \5\ directs the Commission to
approve a proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it
finds that such proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to such organization. In particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F)
\6\ of the Act requires, among other things, that the rules of a
clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions and to assure the
safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or
control of such clearing agency or for which it is responsible. Because
the proposed change would align FICC's rulebook with its practices and
provide transparency in its processes, the Commission believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with FICC's obligations under the
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
in particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) \7\ of the
Act, that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-FICC-2012-01) be, and
hereby is, approved.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \8\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition and
capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

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

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).
