Agency Information Collection: Activity Under OMB Review; Part
249, Preservation of Records

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology
(OST-R), Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for reinstatement of an expired collection. The ICR
describes the nature of the information collection and its expected
burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on March 25, 2022 (87 FR page 17136). DOT received a comment
from an individual stating that DOT should continue to require air
carriers to retain paper complaint forms and submit the forms to DOT's
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) because the online DOT form
is insufficient. We note that this PRA action pertains only to how long
air carriers must retain certain records, including any complaints
received. DOT is not in any way through this PRA action affecting the
ability of persons to file a complaint against an air carrier. The
comment has been referred to the DOT Office of Aviation Consumer
Protection for evaluation.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 18, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Gorham, Office of Airline
Information, RTS-42, Room E34-414, OST-R, BTS, 1200 New Jersey Avenue
SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001, Telephone Number<PHONE_NUMBER>, Fax
Number<PHONE_NUMBER> or EMAIL [email protected].
    Comments: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Approval No.: 2138-0006.
    Title: Preservation of Air carrier Records--14 CFR part 249.
    Form No.: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Certificated air carriers and charter operators.
    Number of Respondents: 89 certificated air carriers and 280 charter
operators.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours per certificated air carrier,
1 hour per charter operator.
    Total Annual Burden: 547 hours.
    This collection needs a new OMB control number as it was previously
and erroneously entered into ROCIS as a generic collection.
    Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the retention of records such as:
general and subsidiary ledgers, journals and journal vouchers, voucher
distribution registers, accounts receivable and payable journals and
legers, subsidy records documenting underlying financial and
statistical reports to DOT, funds reports, consumer records, sales
reports, auditors' and flight coupons, air waybills, etc. Depending on
the nature of the document, the carrier may be required to retain the
document for a period of 30 days to 3 years. Public charter operators
and overseas military personnel charter operators must retain documents
which evidence or reflect deposits made by each charter participant and
commissions received by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents, and all
statements, invoices, bills and receipts from suppliers or furnishers
of goods and services in connection with the tour or charter. These
records are retained for 6 months after completion of the charter
program.
    Not only is it imperative that carriers and charter operators
retain source documentation, but it is critical that we ensure that DOT
has access to these records. Given DOT's established information needs
for such reports, the underlying support documentation must be retained
for a reasonable period of time. Absent the retention requirements, the
support for such reports may or may not exist for audit/validation
purposes and the relevance and usefulness of the carrier submissions
would be impaired, since the data could not be verified to the source
on a test basis.
    The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency
Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires a statistical agency to
clearly identify information it collects for non-statistical purposes.
BTS hereby notifies the respondents and the public that BTS uses the
information it collects under this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to, publication of both
Respondent's identity and its data, submission of the information to
agencies outside BTS for review, analysis and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative matters.
    Comments are invited on: whether the proposed record retention
requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Department. Comments should address whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of
the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Amendment 39-17285; AD 2012-25-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Helicopters

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing emergency airworthiness
directive (EAD) for Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model AS350B3
helicopters with certain part-numbered laminated half-bearings
(bearings) and tail rotor (T/R) blades installed. The existing EAD
currently requires installing two placards and revising the Rotorcraft
Flight Manual (RFM). The EAD also requires certain checks and
inspecting and replacing, if necessary, all four bearings. Finally, the
EAD requires a one-time removal and inspection of the bearings, and
replacing the bearings if necessary. Since we issued that EAD, we have
determined that newly-designed helicopters with other part-numbered T/R
blades may be affected by this unsafe condition and that the
requirements should allow the bearing removal and inspection to be
performed before the last flight of the day. This superseding AD
removes the bearing and T/R blade part numbers (P/N) from the
applicability paragraph and clarifies when the bearing removal and
inspection is required. The actions are intended to prevent vibration
due to a failed bearing, failure of the T/R, and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Emergency AD No. 2012-0207-E, dated October 5, 2012 (EAD 2012-0207-E),
to correct an unsafe condition for Eurocopter Model AS 350 B3
helicopters modified by Modification (MOD) 07 5601. MOD 07 5601 is an
integral part of a specific Model AS350B3 configuration, commercially
identified as ``AS350B3e'' and is not fitted on Model AS350B3
helicopters of other configurations. EASA advises that premature
failures of bearings, P/N 704A33-633-261, installed in combination with
T/R blades P/N 355A12.0055.00 or 355A12.0055.01, have recently been
detected on AS 350 B3 helicopters in ``AS350B3e'' configuration. Three
cases of vibrations originating from the T/R, caused by failure of the
bearings, were reported, which were detected in flight. Subsequently,
an accident occurred in which the pilot felt strong vibrations from the
T/R before losing control of the helicopter. An investigation revealed
that prior to the accident, the bearings had been replaced twice on the
helicopter due to deterioration. EASA EAD 2012-0207-E requires
installing placards and changing the RFM to limit the flight envelope
by reducing the Velocity Never Exceed (VNE) true airspeed
(TAS) limitation to reduce the dynamic loads on the T/R, a one-time
pre-flight inspection and repetitive post-flight inspections of the
bearings to detect damage, a one-time ``After Last Flight of the day''
(ALF) inspection (including T/R disassembly), and replacing all
bearings if any bearing is damaged.
    On October 17, 2012, we issued EAD No. 2012-21-51 for Eurocopter
Model AS350B3 helicopters with MOD 07 5601, with bearing P/N 704A33-
633-261 in combination with tail rotor blade P/N 355A12.0055.00 or
355A12.0055.01, installed. We sent that EAD to all known U.S. owners
and operators of these helicopters. That EAD requires, before further
flight, installing two placards on the instrument panel and revising
the RFM to reduce the VNE indicated airspeed (IAS)
limitation. It also requires, before further flight and thereafter
after each flight, visually checking all visible faces of the bearings
for separation, a crack, or an extrusion, and replacing the four
bearings if there is an extrusion or if there is a separation or a
crack on the pressure side bearing greater than 5 millimeters (.196
inches). Lastly, the EAD requires, after the last flight of the day,
performing a one-time

inspection of the bearings for a separation, a crack, or an extrusion,
and replacing the four bearings if there is a separation, crack, or
extrusion. Our EAD differed from EASA EAD 2012-0207-E in that the EASA
EAD placard limited TAS, while the placard in our EAD limited IAS.

Actions Since Existing EAD Was Issued

    Since we issued EAD 2012-21-51, EASA issued EAD No. 2012-0217-E,
dated October 19, 2012 (EAD 2012-0217-E), which superseded EASA EAD
2012-0207-E. EAD 2012-0217-E retains some of the requirements of EAD
2012-207-E, changes the airspeed limitation from TAS to IAS, and
requires inserting a temporary engine health check procedure into the
RFM. We are not issuing this superseding AD to adopt the revised EASA
requirements, because the airspeed limitations in EAD 2012-21-51
currently use IAS, and the revised engine health check procedure does
not correct the unsafe condition.
    In addition, we have been informed by EASA that newly-designed T/R
blades with a P/N not listed in EAD 2012-21-51 have been developed and
may be installed on these model helicopters, but will also be affected
by the unsafe condition. Additionally, the compliance interval for the
bearing removal and inspection required in EAD 2012-21-51 did not allow
an operator to perform the inspection prior to the last flight of the
day, if desired, and would have required the bearing removal and
inspection after the last flight of the day following any bearing
replacement, which was not intended when we issued the EAD. Therefore,
we are issuing this AD to remove the laminated half-bearing and T/R
blade P/Ns from the applicability and revise the language of the
removal and inspection paragraph to clarify when that inspection is
required.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of the same type
design.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Eurocopter Emergency Alert Service Bulletin (EASB) with
two numbers, No. 01.00.65 for the Model AS350B3 helicopters and No.
01.00.24 for the non-FAA type certificated Model AS550C3 helicopters,
both Revision 0, and both dated October 4, 2012. The EASB specifies
installing two placards on the instrument panel and revising the RFM to
limit airspeed to both 100 knots IAS and TAS, on-aircraft checking of
the bearings after each flight, and performing a one-time removal and
inspection of the bearings. The EASB also defines an RFM procedure in
case of in-flight vibrations originating in the tail rotor. Revision 1
of the EASB, dated October 18, 2012, which Eurocopter issued after we
issued EAD 2012-21-51, introduced a new procedure for the periodic
``Engine Health Check'' procedure, and specified to remove the placard
and RFM changes with the VNE TAS limitation. Revision 2 of
the EASB, dated November 2, 2012, accounted for newly designed T/R
blades by removing specific part-numbered T/R blades from the
Effectivity section of the EASB.

AD Requirements

    This AD retains the requirements of EAD 2012-21-51, expands the
applicability by removing the half-bearing and the T/R blade P/Ns from
the applicability paragraph, clarifies that the removal and inspection
of the bearings is not a daily inspection, and clarifies that the
inspection of the bearings may be performed prior to the last flight of
the day (not after the last flight of the day).

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires removing the placard and RFM changes with the
TAS limitation and replacing it with an IAS limitation. Since the FAA
EAD did not include the TAS limitation, this AD does not need to
require removing it. This AD does not require inserting the temporary
engine health check procedure in the RFM.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. The design approval holder is
currently developing a modification that will address the unsafe
condition specified in this AD. Once this modification is developed,
approved, and available, we might consider additional rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 18 helicopters of U.S.
Registry.
    We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in order
to comply with this AD. Installing a placard and revising the RFM will
require about .5 work-hour, at an average labor rate of $85 per hour,
for a cost per helicopter of $43 and a total cost to U.S. operators of
$774. Disassembling and inspecting the bearings will require about 6
work-hours, at an average labor rate of $85 per hour, for a cost per
helicopter of $510 and a total cost to U.S. operators of $9,180.
    If necessary, replacing the bearings installed on the aircraft will
require about 6 work-hours, at an average labor rate of $85, and
required parts will cost $2,415, for a cost per helicopter of $2,925.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    The short compliance time involved is required because the
previously described unsafe condition can adversely affect both the
structural integrity and controllability of the helicopter. Therefore,
because several of the corrective actions are required before further
flight, this AD must be issued immediately.
    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we determined that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

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 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, 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. 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 an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

    (iii) Add the following as paragraph 3.3.3 to the RFM:

3.3.3 IN-FLIGHT VIBRATIONS FELT IN THE PEDALS

    Symptom:

IN-FLIGHT VIBRATIONS FELT IN THE PEDALS

    1. CHECK PEDAL EFFECTIVENESS
    2. SMOOTHLY REDUCE THE SPEED TO VY
    3. AVOID SIDESLIP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
    (3) Before further flight, and thereafter after each flight,
without exceeding 3 hours time-in-service between two checks,
visually check each bearing as follows:
    (i) Position both tail rotor blades horizontally.
    (ii) Apply load (F) by hand, perpendicular to the pressure face
of one tail rotor blade (a), as shown in Figure 1 to paragraph (f)
of this AD, taking care not to reach the extreme position against
the tail rotor hub. The load will deflect the tail rotor blade
towards the tail boom.
    (iii) While maintaining the load, check all the visible faces of
the bearings (front and side faces) in area B of DETAIL A of Figure
1 to paragraph (f) of this AD for separation between the elastomer
and metal parts, a crack in the elastomer, or an extrusion (see
example in Figure 2 to paragraph (f) of this AD). A flashlight may
be used to enhance the check.

Safety Zones in Reentry Sites; Tampa, and Tallahassee, Florida

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is activating two safety zones for the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Commercial
Resupply Service 27 (CRS 27) mission, reentry vehicle splashdown, and
recovery operations. These operations will occur in the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ). Our regulation for safety zones in reentry sites
within the Seventh Coast Guard District identifies the regulated areas
for this event. No U.S.-flagged vessel may enter the safety zones
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a
designated representative. Foreign-flagged vessels are encouraged to
remain outside the safety zones.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.T07-0806 will be enforced for the
safety zones identified in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below
for the dates and times specified.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
notification of enforcement, call or email Marine Science Technician
First Class Regina Cuevas, Sector St. Petersburg Prevention Department,
Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP)
St. Petersburg is activating the Tampa and Tallahassee site safety
zones listed in 33 CFR 165.T07-0806(a)(4) and (a)(5), on April 14, 2023
through April 17, 2023, for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Commercial Resupply Service 27 (CRS 27) mission,
reentry vehicle splashdown, and the associated recovery operations in
the U.S. EEZ. These safety zones are located within the COTP St.
Petersburg Area of Responsibility (AOR) offshore of Tampa

and Tallahassee, Florida. The Coast Guard is activating these zones in
order to protect vessels and waterway users from the potential hazards
created by reentry vehicle splashdowns and recovery operations. In
accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165, subpart C,
no U.S.-flagged vessel may enter the safety zones unless authorized by
the District Commander or a designated representative except as
provided in Sec.  165.T07-0806(d)(3). All foreign-flagged vessels are
encouraged to remain outside the safety zones.
    There are three other safety zones listed in Sec.  165.T07-
0806(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3), which are located within the COTP
Jacksonville AOR, in addition to a portion of zone listed in (a)(1)
that is located in the COTP Savannah AOR, that are being simultaneously
activated through a separate notifications of enforcement of the
regulation document issued under Docket Numbers USCG-2023-0302, and
USCG-2023-0331.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These notifications of enforcement of the regulation can be
found at: https://regulations.gov by searching for docket number
USCG-2023-0302, and USCG-2023-0331.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Twenty-four hours prior to the recovery operations, the COTP or
designated representative will inform the public that only one of the
five safety zones described in Sec.  165.T07-0806, paragraph (a), will
remain activated (subject to enforcement). This zone will remain
activated until announced by Broadcast Notice to Mariners on VHF-FM
channel 16, and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletin (as appropriate)
that the safety zone is no longer subject to enforcement. After the CRS
27 reentry vehicle splashdown, the District Commander or a designated
representative will grant general permission to come no closer than 3
nautical miles of any reentry vehicle or space support vessel engaged
in the recovery operations, within the activated safety zone described
in Sec.  165.T07-0806, paragraph (a). Once the reentry vehicle, and any
personnel involved in reentry service, are removed from the water and
secured onboard a space support vessel, the District Commander or
designated representative will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners on
VHF-FM channel 16 announcing the activated safety zone is no longer
subject to enforcement. The recovery operations are expected to last
approximately one hour.
    The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local
law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


pipeline, the LDC needs to be able to release it to the retail choice
provider at that rate. According to the AGA, if a shipper obtained
capacity in the primary market under conditions that do not support the
pipeline's maximum rate, the Commission's goal of maximizing allocative
efficiency is hampered by requiring LDCs to sell at maximum rate to
retail choice providers.
    103. The Commission proposes to address the issue of bidding on
releases of a year or less by LDCs participating in a state retail
unbundling program in a manner consistent with its actions in Order No.
637, that is, the Commission will permit such LDCs to request a waiver
of the bidding regulation to allow the LDC to consummate short-term
pre-arranged capacity release deals necessary to implement retail
access at the maximum rate without bidding. Allowing this limited
waiver of the bidding requirement for capacity releases made as part of
a state unbundling program would enable retail access programs to
continue to operate with the same exemption from bidding which they now
have. Adopting the more cautious approach of case-by-case waivers,
rather than granting a blanket waiver, is reasonable in light of the
court's finding that even with state unbundling programs the potential
for discrimination still exists.
    104. As part of this proposal, however, the Commission will not
require that an LDC seeking such a waiver agree to subject all of its
short-term capacity releases to the applicable maximum rate. Any of an
LDC's capacity releases that are outside of its state-approved retail
choice program (and not made as part of an AMA as discussed in the
previous section) will remain subject to bidding, which should provide
adequate protection against discrimination. Further, it is reasonable
to allow different treatment of releases made to an approved retail
choice provider, because the capacity released for that purpose will
continue to be used to serve the LDC's customers for whom the capacity
was originally contracted to serve. The Commission's proposal here
would also remedy the court's concern in INGAA with the requirement
that LDCs seeking waivers agree to subject all of their releases to the
maximum rate.
    105. While the Commission is not proposing a blanket exemption from
bidding for releases made by LDCs under state retail choice programs,
the Commission requests comment on whether such releases should be
treated as similar to releases made as part of an AMA and thus accorded
the same full exemption from bidding. As with releases in the AMA
context, LDC releases in the retail unbundling context are not releases
of excess capacity to the open market but of capacity needed to serve
the original customers for whom the LDC purchased the capacity. In the
state unbundling context, the LDC must release and allocate capacity to
a marketer that an end use customer may choose as its supplier. Thus,
the

capacity may be treated as still being used for the purpose it was
purchased and as it was originally intended. However, the Commission
seeks comment on whether such releases should be exempt from the
bidding requirement. Should the Commission find that such releases
provide similar benefits to the market as releases which are made as
part of establishing an AMA? Do such releases entail a greater
potential for undue discrimination than releases made as part of
establishing an AMA?

V. Shipper-Must-Have-Title Requirement

    106. The Commission will retain its shipper-must-have-title
requirement. While the shipper-must-have-title requirement had its
original roots in individual pipeline proceedings to implement Order
No. 436 non-discriminatory open-access transportation, it has become
the foundation for the Commission's capacity release program.\95\ The
purpose of the shipper-must-have-title requirement is to require that
all transfers of capacity from one shipper to another take place
through the capacity release program. Without the shipper-must-have-
title requirement, ``capacity holders could simply transport gas over
the pipeline for another entity,'' \96\ without complying with any of
the requirements of the capacity release program. Thus, the capacity
holder could charge the other entity any rate it desired for this
service, and the capacity holder would not need to post the arrangement
with the other entity for bidding to permit others to obtain the
service at a higher rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \95\ As the Commission explained in Order No. 637-A, ``the
capacity release rules were designed with [the shipper-must-have-
title] policy as their foundation,'' because without this
requirement ``capacity holders could simply transport gas over the
pipeline for another entity.'' Order No. 637 at 31,300.
    \96\ Order No. 637 at 31,300.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    107. By contrast, under the shipper-must-have-title requirement, an
assignment of capacity from one shipper to another may only be
accomplished through the capacity release program. As discussed above,
under the capacity release program, any release must comply with any
applicable price ceiling and bidding requirements. In addition, the
replacement shipper must contract with the pipeline, and section
284.8(d) of the Commission's regulations requires the pipeline to post
information regarding the replacement shipper's contract, including any
special terms and conditions. This provides transparency in the
secondary market by enabling the Commission and all interested parties
to monitor the capacity release market.
    108. The shipper-must-have-title requirement remains an important
transparency tool given the proposals discussed above and the
Commission's decision to maintain the price ceiling for long-term
capacity releases and to require bidding for capacity releases outside
the context of AMAs. If the Commission were to eliminate the shipper-
must-have-title requirement, shippers could easily evade the continuing
requirements of the capacity release program in the manner discussed
above. In essence, participation in the capacity release program would
become voluntary and shippers desiring to make long-term releases at
more than the maximum rate or to make prearranged non-maximum rate
deals without bidding could simply make private arrangements outside of
the capacity release program.
    109. The shipper-must-have-title requirement ensures transparency
in the capacity market. Because replacement shippers must in all
instances enter into contracts with the pipeline, the Commission can
ensure transparency by requiring the pipelines to report the essential
terms of the replacement shippers' contracts. Without the rule, the
Commission would have to develop separate reporting requirements for
shippers who make private arrangements to ship gas for other entities.
It is more efficient for the Commission and the marketplace to monitor
and enforce the reporting requirements on the one hundred or so
interstate pipelines rather than to enforce them on thousands of
shippers.
    110. Finally, in the Commission's opinion, the shipper-must-have-
title requirement does not cause undue administrative burdens. Through
the Commission's adoption of the North American Energy Standards
Board's (NAESB) standards, all pipelines must provide a title transfer
tracking service at no charge as part of their nomination process, so
that any title transfers required by the shipper-must-have-title
requirement are easily accomplished.\97\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \97\ In this context the shipper-must-have-title requirement
accomplishes on the gas side much the same purpose as ``e-tagging''
title transfers on the electric side.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Regulatory Requirements

A. Information Collection Statement

    111. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations require OMB
to approve certain information collection requirements imposed by
agency rule.\98\ Comments are solicited on the Commission's need for
this information, whether the information will have practical utility,
the accuracy of provided burden estimates, ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected, and any
suggested methods for minimizing respondents' burden, including the use
of automated information techniques.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \98\ 5 CFR 1320.11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Title: FERC-549B, Gas Pipeline Rates: Capacity Information.
    Action: Proposed Information Collection.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0169B.
    112. The applicant shall not be penalized for failure to respond to
this collection of information unless the collection of information
displays a valid OMB control number.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Necessity of Information: The proposed rule would permit market
based pricing for short-term capacity releases and facilitate AMAs by
relaxing the Commission's prohibition on tying and its bidding
requirements for certain capacity releases. As noted earlier in the
NOPR, elimination of the price ceiling for short-term capacity releases
will provide more accurate price signals concerning the market value of
pipeline capacity. Further, implementation of AMAs will make the
capacity release program more efficient as releasing shippers can
transfer their capacity to entities with greater expertise both in
purchasing low cost gas supplies, and in maximizing the value of the
capacity when it is not needed to meet the releasing shipper's gas
supply needs. Such arrangements free up the time, expense and expertise
involved with managing gas supply arrangements and serve as a means of
relieving the burdens of administering their capacity or supply needs.
    113. Although the Commission is taking the steps to enhance
competition in the secondary capacity release market and increase
shipper options, it is not modifying its existing reporting
requirements in section 284.13 of its regulations. The current burden
estimates for FERC-549B will be unaffected by this rule and for that
reason, the Commission will send a copy of this proposed rule to OMB
for informational purposes only.

B. Environmental Analysis

    114. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental
Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may
have a

significant adverse effect on the human environment.\99\ The Commission
has categorically excluded certain actions from these requirements as
not having a significant effect on the human environment.\100\ The
actions proposed to be taken here fall within categorical exclusions in
the Commission's regulations for rules that are corrective, clarifying
or procedural, for information gathering, analysis, and dissemination,
and for sales, exchange, and transportation of natural gas that
requires no construction of facilities.\101\ Therefore an environmental
review is unnecessary and has not been prepared in this rulemaking.

Environmental Policy Act, 52 FR 47897 (Dec. 17, 1987), FERC Stats. &

(2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    115. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) \102\ generally
requires a description and analysis of final rules that will have
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The Commission is not required to make such an analysis if proposed
regulations would not have such an effect.\103\ Under the industry
standards used for purposes of the RFA, a natural gas pipeline company
qualifies as ``a small entity'' if it has annual revenues of $6.5
million or less. Most companies regulated by the Commission do not fall
within the RFA's definition of a small entity.\104\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \102\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
    \103\ 5 U.S.C. 605(b)(2000).
    \104\ 5 U.S.C. 601(3), citing to Section 3 of the Small Business
Act, 15 U.S.C. 623 (2000). Section 3 defines a ``small-business
concern'' as a business which is independently owned and operated
and which is not dominant in its field of operation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    116. The procedural modifications proposed herein should have no
significant negative impact on those entities, be they large or small,
subject to the Commission's regulatory jurisdiction under the NGA. As
previously noted in the NOPR, removal of the price ceiling will enable
releasing shippers to offer competitively-priced alternatives to the
pipelines' negotiated rate offerings. A small entity that participates
in the market will no longer be constrained by a ceiling price for its
unused capacity. Further, removal of the ceiling also permits more
efficient utilization of capacity by permitting prices to rise to
market clearing levels, allowing those entities that place the highest
value on the capacity to obtain it. Accordingly, the Commission
certifies that this notice's proposed regulations, if promulgated, will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70024; File No. SR-MIAX-2013-34]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change to Delay the Operative Date of a Recent Change to
Exchange Rule 514

July 23, 2013.
    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 July 9, 2013, Miami International Securities Exchange LLC
(``Exchange'' or ``MIAX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-
regulatory organization. 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 is filing a proposal to delay the operative date of a
recent change to Rule 514. There are no proposed changes to the rule
text.

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
    On May 1, 2013, the Exchange filed a rule change, which became
effective on that date, to amend Rule 514 to allow an Electronic
Exchange Member (``EEM'') to designate a Lead Market Maker (``LLM''),
regardless of appointment, on orders it enters into the Exchange System
(``Directed Orders'').\3\ The proposed rule change in that filing
became effective on filing and was set to become operative by July 9,
2013. Pursuant to the previously filed rule change, the Exchange
announced via a Regulatory Circular an implementation date of July 9,
2013.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69507 (May 3, 2013)
78 FR 27269 (May 9, 2013) (SR-MIAX-2013-20).
    \4\ See MIAX Regulatory Circular 2013-31 available at http://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/circular-files/MIAX_RC_2013_31.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this rule filing is to delay the operative date of
the change to Rule 514 in rule filing SR-MIAX-2013-20 until MIAX has
completed the necessary changes to its system to allow all EEMs to send
Directed Orders to all LLMs. The Exchange will announce the
implementation date of the proposed rule change in a Regulatory
Circular to be published no later than 30 days following the
publication of the notice in the Federal Register. The implementation
date will be no later than 30 days following the publication of the
Regulatory Circular announcing publication of the notice in the Federal
Register.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, because 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.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the rules of an
exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In particular, the Exchange believes that delaying the operative
date of this change to allow EEMs to send Directed Orders to all LMMs
will protect investors because it will provide the Exchange with
sufficient time to complete its system work and perform sufficient
testing that is necessary to ensure that this new feature will function
as described in rule filing SR-MIAX-2013-20.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. This proposed rule change
delays the operative date of the change to allow EEMs to send Directed
Orders to all LLMs, and the Exchange will announce the new operative
date in a Regulatory Circular that is available for all Exchange
members.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\10\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay to allow the
Exchange sufficient time to update and test its system to accommodate
the technical functionality that was the subject of the recent proposed
rule change discussed above. The Commission finds that such waiver is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest,
because without such waiver, the proposed delay of the implementation
date could not become operative for 30 days, and pursuant to the
Exchange's previously issued Regulatory Circular,\11\ the amendment to
Rule 514 would therefore become operative on July 9, 2013. As noted,
the Exchange has represented that it needs additional time to develop
the technical functionality needed for that rule change. Accordingly,
the Commission hereby grants the Exchange's request and designates the
proposal operative upon filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \11\ See supra note 4.
    \12\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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