    Title: NESHAP for Pharmaceuticals Production (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1781.04; OMB Control Number 2060-0358.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2007. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct, or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct, or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pharmaceuticals Production was proposed on
April 2, 1997, and promulgated on September 21, 1998. These standards
apply to facilities in pharmaceuticals facilities that are major
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The affected facilities
encompass all pharmaceuticals manufacturing operations that include
process vents, storage tanks, equipment components, and wastewater
systems commencing construction, or reconstruction after the date of
that proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG. HAP emissions are the pollutants
regulated under this subpart.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners, or operators also are
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance and in general, are required of all sources
subject to NESHAP. This information is used by the Agency to identify
sources subject to the standards to insure that the maximum achievable
control technologies are being applied.
    Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions of this part will
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance
reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated State, or
local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated
authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 177
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Pharmaceuticals facilities that are
major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, Semi-annually and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 163,371.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $14,901,733, which consists of no
Capital/Startup costs, $415,800 in Operations and Maintenance Costs,
and $14,485,933 in Labor Costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 5,192 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden is due

to adjustments. Burden items were added to the ICR which were
previously omitted, and the burden associated with some items was
increased to be consistent with more recently approved ICRs for similar
source categories.

    Title: Plant-Incorporated Protectants; CBI Substantiation and
Reporting Risk/Benefit Information.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.07, OMB Control No. 2070-0142.
    ICR Status: The current OMB approval for this ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2011. Under OMB regulations at 5 CFR
1320.12(b)(2), the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. This
ICR is for an ongoing information collection activity. An Agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title
40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Final Rule and in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable.
    Abstract: This ICR addresses the two information collection
requirements described in regulations pertaining to pesticidal
substances that are produced by plants (plant-incorporated protectants
(PIPs)) and which are codified in 40 CFR part 174. A PIP is defined as
``the pesticidal substance that is intended to be produced and used in
a living plant and the genetic material necessary for the production of
such a substance.'' Many, but not all, PIPs are exempt from
registration requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants sometimes include in a submission
to EPA for registration of a PIP information that they claim to be
confidential business information (CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and
generally cannot be released to the public unless authorized after
following the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. Under 40 CFR part 174,
whenever a registrant claims that information submitted to EPA in
support of a registration application for PIPs contains CBI, the
registrant must substantiate such claims when they are made. In
addition, manufacturers of PIPs that are otherwise exempted from the
requirements of registration must report risk benefit information of
the PIP to the Agency. Such reporting will allow the Agency to
determine whether further action is needed to prevent unreasonable
adverse effects to public health and the environment. Submission of
this information is mandatory and supplied on occasion.
    Burden Statement: The annual respondent burden for the collection
of information associated with the substantiation at the time of
submission for CBI claims related to a PIP registration application is
estimated to average 21.5 hours per submission, and the annual
respondent burden for the collection of information associated with the
reporting of adverse effects for exempted PIPs is estimated to average
7 hours per submission. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The
following is a summary of the burden and cost information for this ICR:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Producers and importers of PIPs.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 18.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 389.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $26,875.00.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 86 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is an adjustment resulting from an
increase in the estimated number of PIPs applications. EPA expects that
the level of activity will continue.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What action is EPA proposing?

    EPA is proposing to approve certain changes to North Carolina's SIP
that were provided to EPA through NCDEQ via a letter dated April 13,
2021, and related to North Carolina's 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02D, Section .0500, Emission Control
Standards.\1\ Specifically, EPA is proposing approval of changes to 15A
NCAC 02D Sections .0516, Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion
Sources; .0517, Emissions from Plants Producing Sulfuric Acid; .0519,
Control of Nitrogen Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides Emissions; and .0533,
Stack Height.2 3 The changes to these sections, as well as
EPA's analysis of the changes, is discussed in the following sections.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA notes that the April 13, 2021, submittal was received by
EPA on April 14, 2021.
    \2\ EPA received several revisions to the North Carolina SIP
through the same April 13, 2021, cover letter. This proposed
rulemaking only addresses the revisions identified within this
notice. EPA may act on the remaining revisions, including certain
02D Section .0500 rules not considered in this proposed action, in
separate rulemakings.
    \3\ On February 22, 2022, and July 6, 2022, North Carolina
submitted letters to EPA withdrawing the changes to Rule 15A NCAC
02D .0532 and .0527, respectively, from EPA's consideration. For
this reason, EPA will not act on these changes to Rule .0532 or
.0527. Both letters can be found in the docket for this proposed
action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. EPA's Analysis of the State's Submittal

A. Rule 15A NCAC 02D .0516

    Rule 02D .0516, Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources,
includes minor grammatical edits to paragraph .0516(a) by removing the
words ``that is'', as well as a rewording of paragraph .0516(b) for
clarity. In addition, North Carolina removes a reference to Rules 02D
.1205 and .1211 from paragraph .0516(b), which originally excluded
large municipal waste combustors and other solid waste incineration
units, respectively, from complying with the requirements of rule
.0516. These two references were removed because the two rules were
State-only rules that have since been repealed, effective July 1,
2018.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See NCDAQ's website at https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/air-quality/air-quality-rules/rules/control-emissions-from-incinerators.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA has preliminarily determined that these changes to the SIP will
not interfere with attainment and maintenance of the national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) or any other applicable requirement of
the Act. Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned
changes to the North Carolina SIP.

B. Rule 15A NCAC 02D .0517

    Rule 0517, Emissions from Plants Producing Sulfuric Acid, contains
very minor typographical edits, such as substituting parentheses for
commas, and edits for clarity, such as adding an ``and'' between two
requirements that both must be met.
    EPA has preliminarily determined that these changes to the SIP will
not interfere with attainment and

maintenance of the NAAQS or any other applicable requirement of the
Act. Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned changes
into the North Carolina SIP.

C. Rule 15A NCAC 02D .0519

    Rule .0519, Control of Nitrogen Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides
Emissions, includes, among other minor edits, a change in paragraph
.0519(a) to address a typographical error. Specifically, North Carolina
is correcting the previous reference to ``sulfuric'' acid, to instead
reference to ``nitric'' acid. A reference to sulfuric acid in paragraph
.0519(a) did not make sense in the context of this rule, as Rule .0519
is specific to emissions from nitrogen sources (i.e. nitrogen dioxide
and nitrogen oxide). With sulfuric acid, calculations using the
equation in .0519(c) would not function for the purpose of comparing
boiler emissions to the nitrogen dioxide emissions limit found in
.0519(a).
    Additionally, an incorrect reference to paragraph .0519(a), in
paragraph (d) of this rule, was changed to instead reference paragraph
.0519(b). This is a typographical correction because the provisions in
paragraph .0519(d) are regarding nitrogen oxide emissions from boilers,
which would fall under paragraph (b) of this rule, whereas paragraph
.0519(a) refers to nitrogen dioxide emissions from nitric acid
manufacturing plants.
    Paragraph .0519(c) was revised to clarify the units that are
subject to the emissions limit calculation of this paragraph. The
changes clarify that .0519(c) applies to boilers ``burning coal, oil,
or gas in combination'' which would mean any combination of these three
fuel types.
    The remaining changes to Rule .0519 are clarifying in nature. For
example, an ``or'' is added to .0519(b)(1) to clarify that there are
two separate emissions standards that apply to different types of
boilers; an equation is reformatted in .0519(c); and .0519(d) is
rephrased for clarity, including identification of the cross-referenced
rules.
    EPA has preliminarily determined that these changes to the SIP will
not interfere with attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS or any other
applicable requirement of the Act. Therefore, EPA is proposing to
approve the aforementioned changes to the North Carolina SIP.

D. Rule 15A NCAC 02D .0533

    Rule 0533, Stack Height, includes only minor grammatical and
formatting changes that do not alter the meaning of the provisions.
Specifically, Rule .0533 reorders the definitions for ``Stack'', ``Good
engineering practice (GEP),'' ``Nearby,'' and ``Emission limitation''
to reformat the rule alphabetically. In addition, minor changes are
made throughout Rule .0533 to update citations; make minor grammatical
corrections that do not alter the meaning of the provisions (e.g.,
removing ``actually'' from .0533(a)(5)(B)); and add clarity (e.g.,
adding an ``and'' between two definitions that apply to different
situations in .0533(a)(6)(A) and adding the word ``shall'' in
.0533(a)).
    EPA has preliminarily determined that these changes to the SIP will
not interfere with attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS or any other
applicable requirement of the Act. Therefore, EPA is proposing to
approve the aforementioned changes to the North Carolina SIP.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include, in a final EPA rule,
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, and as described in Section I and
II of this preamble, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference 15A
NCAC Subchapter 02D, Section .0516, Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from
Combustion Sources; Section .0517, Emissions from Plants Producing
Sulfuric Acid; Section .0519, Control of Nitrogen Dioxide and Nitrogen
Oxides Emissions; and Section .0533, Stack Height, all state effective
on November 1, 2020. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the
EPA Region 4 office (please contact the person identified in the For
Further Information Contact section of this preamble for more
information).

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the April 13, 2021, SIP revision to
incorporate various changes to a subset of North Carolina's emission
control standards provisions into the SIP. Specifically, EPA is
proposing to approve changes to 15A NCAC 02D Sections .0516, Sulfur
Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources; .0517, Emissions from Plants
Producing Sulfuric Acid; .0519, Control of Nitrogen Dioxide and
Nitrogen Oxides Emissions; and .0533, Stack Height. EPA is proposing to
approve these changes for the reasons discussed above.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. This action merely
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

    Abstract: The EPA's Office of Emergency Management is conducting a
survey of the State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs) in each
state and territory of the U.S. The SERCs were created under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986. The
purpose of this survey is to gather information on how EPCRA is being
implemented, best practices, challenges, and gaps in meeting the
requirements. After the survey is completed, EPA is planning to publish
the results of the survey, including success stories and lessons
learned, to share with all states and territories.
    EPCRA established State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs) and
Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) and assigned implementation
responsibilities to these state and local agencies. EPCRA required
SERCs to appoint LEPCs within a few months after the enactment of EPCRA
and to supervise their activities. Importantly, SERCs should ensure
that LEPCs develop local emergency response plans for their community,
review the plans, and make suggestions to coordinate the plans with
neighboring LEPCs. In addition, SERCs are required to collect and
manage hazardous chemical information from facilities and to provide
access to the public on the presence of hazardous chemicals in the
community.
    As part of the America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA),
promulgated in October 2018, additional coordination and provision of
information responsibilities were established for SERCs and LEPCs under
EPCRA. Specifically, these EPCRA amendments establish notification and

information coordination with State Drinking Water Agency and Community
Water Systems to ensure that these agencies prepare and protect the
community from contamination of their water.
    The data collected in this survey will inform the Agency about how
SERCs are fulfilling the requirements of the law, specifically in
sharing key information among all appropriate State organizations and
managing LEPCs and their activities. Additionally, the results of the
survey will help to identify areas where SERCs are having difficulty
meeting their requirements, the specific challenges they are facing,
and will identify areas where EPA can better assist SERCs and LEPCs in
implementing EPCRA and its amendments under AWIA.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: State Emergency Response
Commissions.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total).
    Frequency of response: Once.
    Total estimated burden: 76 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,301.00 (per year), includes $0.00
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: This is a New ICR, so there is no change
in burden.

    S4.1 Determination of the number of seating positions and seat belt
positions
    (a) The number of seating positions considered to be in a bench
seat for vehicles manufactured before October 21, 2011 is expressed by
the symbol W, and calculated as the seat bench width in millimeters
divided by 381 and rounded to the nearest whole number.
    (b) The number of seating positions and the number of Type 1 seat
belt positions considered to be in a bench seat for vehicles
manufactured on or after October 21, 2011 is expressed by the symbol W,
and calculated as the seat bench width in millimeters divided by 380
and rounded to the nearest whole number.
    (c) Except as provided in S4.1(d), the number of Type 2 seat belt
positions on a flexible occupancy seat in a minimum occupancy
configuration or a fixed occupancy seat for vehicles manufactured on or
after October 21, 2011 is expressed by the symbol Y, and calculated as
the seat bench width in millimeters divided by 380 and rounded to the
next lowest whole number. The minimum seat bench width for a seat
equipped with a Type 2 seat belt is 380 mm. See Table 1 for an
illustration.
    (d) A flexible occupancy seat meeting the requirements of S4.1(c)
may also have a maximum occupancy configuration with Y +1 Type 2 seat
belt positions, if the minimum seat bench width for this configuration
is Y +1 times 330 mm. See Table 1 for an illustration.

    S<IP_ADDRESS> Displacement limits. In Tables 2 and 3, AH is the height
in millimeters of the school bus torso belt anchor point specified by
S<IP_ADDRESS>(a) of Standard No. 210 (49 CFR 571.210) and [Phi] is the angle
of the posterior surface of the seat back defined in S<IP_ADDRESS> of this
standard.
    (a) Any school bus torso belt anchor point, as defined in S3 of
Standard No. 210, must not displace horizontally forward from its
initial position (when [Phi] was determined) more than the value in
millimeters calculated from the following expression in the second
column of Table 2:

    S<IP_ADDRESS> Slippage of device used to achieve torso belt adjusted
height. If the torso belt adjusted height, as defined in S3 of Standard
No. 210 (49 CFR 571.210), is achieved without the use of an adjustable
torso belt anchorage, the adjustment device must not slip more than 25
mm (1.0 inches) along the webbing or guide material upon which it moves
for the purpose of adjusting the torso belt height.
    S<IP_ADDRESS> Angle of the posterior surface of a seat back. If the seat
back inclination is adjustable, the seat back is placed in the
manufacturer's normal design riding position. If such a position is not
specified, the seat back is positioned so it is in the most upright
position. Position the loading bar specified in S6.5 of this standard
so that it is laterally centered behind the seat back with the bar's
longitudinal axis in a transverse plane of the vehicle in a horizontal
plane within  6 mm (0.25 inches) of the horizontal plane
passing through the seating reference point and move the bar forward
against the seat back until a force of 44 N (10 pounds) has been
applied. Position a second loading bar as described in S6.5 of this
standard so that it is laterally centered behind the seat back with the
bar's longitudinal axis in a transverse plane of the vehicle and in the
horizontal plane 406  6 mm (16  0.25 inches)
above the seating reference point, and move the bar forward against the
seat back until a force of 44 N (10 pounds) has been applied. Determine
the angle from vertical of a line in the longitudinal vehicle plane
that passes through the geometric center of the cross-section of each
cylinder, as shown in Figure 8. That angle is the angle of the
posterior surface of the seat back.
    S<IP_ADDRESS> The seat back must absorb 452W joules of energy when
subjected to the force specified in S<IP_ADDRESS>.7.
    S<IP_ADDRESS> Quasi-static test procedure.
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.1 Adjust the seat back as specified in S<IP_ADDRESS>. Place all
torso anchor points in their highest position of adjustment. If the
torso belt adjusted height, as defined in S3 of FMVSS No. 210, is
achieved by a method other than an adjustable anchor point, initially
place the torso belt adjusted height at its highest position. Then move
the adjustment device 38 mm (1.5 inches) downward with respect to its
webbing or guide material.
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.2 Position the lower loading bar specified in S6.5 of this
standard so that it is laterally centered behind the seat back with the
bar's longitudinal axis in a transverse plane of the vehicle and in any
horizontal plane between 102 mm (4 inches) above and 102 mm (4 inches)
below the seating reference point of the school bus passenger seat
behind the test specimen. Position the upper loading bar described in
S6.5 so that it is laterally centered behind the seat back with the
bar's longitudinal axis in a transverse plane of the vehicle and in the
horizontal plane 406 mm (16 inches) above the seating reference point
of the school bus passenger seat behind the test specimen.
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.3 Apply a force of 3,114W N (700W pounds) horizontally in
the forward direction through the lower loading bar specified at S6.5
at the pivot attachment point. Reach the specified

load in not less than 5 and not more than 30 seconds. No sooner than
1.0 second after attaining the required force, reduce that force to
1,557W N (350W pounds) and maintain the pivot point position of the
loading bar at the position where the 1,557W N (350W pounds) is
attained until the completion of S<IP_ADDRESS>.7 of this standard.
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.4 Position the body block specified in Figure 3 of FMVSS
No. 210 (49 CFR 571.210) under each torso belt (between the torso belt
and the seat back) in the passenger seat and apply a preload force of
600  50 N (135  11 pounds) on each body block
in a forward direction parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the
vehicle pursuant to the specifications of Standard No. 210 (49 CFR
571.210). After preload application is complete, the origin of the 203
mm body block radius at any point across the 102 mm body block
thickness shall lie within the zone defined by S<IP_ADDRESS>.4(a) and
S<IP_ADDRESS>.4(b) as shown in Figure 9:
    (a) At or rearward of a transverse vertical plane of the vehicle
located 100 mm longitudinally forward of the seating reference point.
    (b) Within 75 mm of the horizontal plane located midway between the
horizontal plane passing through the school bus torso belt adjusted
height, specified in S3 of Standard No. 210 (49 CFR 571.210), and the
horizontal plane 100 mm below the seating reference point.
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.5 Load application.
    (a) Fixed Occupancy Seat. For school buses with the gross vehicle
weight rating listed in the first column of Table 4, if the expression
in the second column is true, simultaneously apply the force listed in
the third column to each body block.

    (2) For a flexible occupancy seat in the minimum occupant
configuration, apply the forces to each body block as specified in
S<IP_ADDRESS>.5(a).
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.6 Reach the specified load in not less than 5 and not more
than 30 seconds. While maintaining the load, measure the school bus
torso belt anchor point and seat back point horizontal displacement and
then remove the body block.
    S<IP_ADDRESS>.7 Move the upper bar forward against the seat back until a
force of 44 N has been applied. Apply an additional force horizontally
in the forward direction through the upper bar until 452W joules of
energy have been absorbed in deflecting the seat back. The maximum
travel of the pivot attachment point for the upper loading bar shall
not exceed 356 mm as measured from the position at which the initial
application of 44 N of force is attained and the maximum load must stay
below the upper boundary of the force/deflection zone in Figure 1.
Apply the additional load in not less than 5 seconds and not more than
30 seconds. Maintain the pivot attachment point at the maximum forward
travel position for not less than 5 seconds, and not more than 10
seconds and release the load in not less than 5 seconds and not more
than 30 seconds. (For the determination of S<IP_ADDRESS>.7, the energy
calculation describes only the force applied through the upper loading
bar, and the forward and rearward travel distance of the upper loading
bar pivot attachment point measured from the position at which the
application in this section of 44 N of force is attained.)
    S5.1.7 Buckle side length limit. This section applies to rear
passenger seats on school buses manufactured on or after October 21,
2011 that are equipped with Type 1 or Type 2 seat belt assemblies. All
portions of the buckle/latchplate assembly must remain rearward of the
limit plane defined in S<IP_ADDRESS> when tested under the conditions of
S<IP_ADDRESS>.
    S<IP_ADDRESS> Buckle/latchplate limit plane. Establish a transverse
limit plane 65 mm from the SgRP that is perpendicular to a transverse
plane that passes through the SgRP at an angle of 50 degrees to the
horizontal.
    S<IP_ADDRESS> Load application. Insert the seat belt latchplate into the
seat belt buckle. Apply a 20 N load to the buckle/latchplate assembly
whose vector is in a vertical longitudinal plane. Apply the load along
the centerline of the webbing attached to the latchplate at least 100mm
from the nearest point on the latchplate. The load may be applied at
any angle in the range of 30 to 75 degrees from horizontal.

    S5.2.2 Barrier height, position, and rear surface area. The
position and rear surface area of the restraining barrier shall be such
that, in a front projected view of the bus, each point of the barrier's
perimeter coincides with or lies outside of the perimeter of the
minimum seat back area required by S5.1.2 for the seat immediately
rearward of the restraining barrier.
* * * * *
    S5.5 Labeling.
    (a) A small occupant seating position must be permanently and
legibly marked or labeled with the phrase: ``Do Not Sit In Middle Seat
If Over Age 10''. The phrase must be comprised of no more than two
lines of text. The label must be placed on the torso belt portion of
the Type 2 seat belt. It must be plainly visible and easily readable
when the seat belt is in a stored position. The

distance from the top edge of the top line of text to the bottom edge
of the bottom line of text must be at least 35 mm. If the label is sewn
on, it must be stitched around its entire perimeter.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61405; File No. SR-Phlx-2009-101]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc.; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change Relating to Collection of Exchange
Fees

January 21, 2010.

I. Introduction

    On December 8, 2009, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend Exchange Rule 909, Security for Exchange
Fees and Other Claims, to require member organizations to provide a
clearing account number at the National Securities Clearing Corporation
(``NSCC'') for purposes of permitting the Exchange to debit any
undisputed or final fees, fines, charges and/or other monetary
sanctions or monies owed to the Exchange.\3\ The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the Federal Register on December 17,
2009.\4\ The Commission

received no comments on the proposal. This order approves the proposed
rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(l).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ This includes, among other things, fines which result from:
Violation of Rule 60, Order and Decorum; violations of the Minor
Rule Plan pursuant to Rule 970; monetary sanctions imposed by the
Business Conduct Committee relating to a Letter of Caution; and
monetary sanctions imposed by a Hearing Panel in connection with
Disciplinary Violations. See also Notice, infra note 4, for further
information regarding disciplinary and non-disciplinary sanctions.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61141 (December 10,
2009), 74 FR 67003 (December 17, 2009) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Currently, Phlx Rule 909 requires member organizations and
applicants for registration to provide and maintain a security deposit,
unless the member organization maintains excess net capital of at least
the amount established by the Exchange. The Exchange proposes to
eliminate the requirement to provide and maintain a security deposit
and would instead require member organizations and applicants to
provide a clearing account number for an account at NSCC in order to
permit the Exchange to debit undisputed or final fees, fines, charges
and/or other monetary sanctions or monies owed to the Exchange or other
charges related to Rule 924.\5\ Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
amend the title of Rule 909 from ``Security for Exchange Fees and Other
Claims'' to ``Collection of Exchange Fees and Other Claims'' in order
to more accurately describe the proposed rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Phlx Rule 924 (Obligations of Members and Member
Organizations to the Exchange) states, among other things, that
members and member organizations shall be liable for such fees,
fines, dues, penalties and other amounts imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposal, the Exchange would send a monthly invoice to
each member organization on approximately the fourth through sixth
business day of the month following the month in which the charges were
incurred.\6\ In addition, the Exchange would send a file to the
member's clearing firm which will indicate the amounts to be debited
from each member. If a member is self-clearing, no such file would be
sent, since the member would receive the invoice indicating the amount
to be debited. If a member disputes an invoice in writing to the
Exchange's designated staff by the fifteenth of the month, and the
amount in dispute is at least $10,000 or greater, the Exchange would
not include the disputed amount in the debit.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For example, invoices for the month of October might be sent
on November 5.
    \7\ If the fifteenth day is not a business day, then the member
would have until the following business day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange then would send a file to NSCC on approximately the
twenty-third of the month following the month in which the charges were
incurred to initiate the debit of the appropriate amount. Once NSCC
receives the file from the Exchange, NSCC would debit the amount
indicated from the clearing members' account.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ If the member clears through an Exchange clearing member,
the estimated transactions fees owed to the Exchange are typically
debited by the clearing member on a daily basis using daily
transaction detail reports provided by the Exchange to the clearing
member in order to ensure adequate funds have been escrowed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange would provide members with a thirty-day period, upon
Commission approval of this proposal, to provide an NSCC number to the
Phlx Membership Department if the member has not already provided one
in the past.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange noted that many of its members have already
provided voluntarily the Exchange with an NSCC clearing account
number, and those members' accounts are currently being debited on a
monthly basis. See Notice, supra note 4, at note 10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission has carefully reviewed the proposed rule change and
finds that it is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\10\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that Phlx would only initiate a debit for an
undisputed or final fee, fine, charge, or other monetary sanction or
money owed to the Exchange. In addition, because members would receive
invoices approximately two weeks before any funds are debited, members
would have a means to monitor the accuracy of their invoices and, if
necessary, would have time to contact the Exchange staff prior to
amounts being debited.
    Further, the Exchange has informed the Commission that the vast
majority of the Exchange's members already voluntarily participate in
the automatic-debit program, which the proposed rule would make
mandatory. Those members that do not currently participate will have
thirty days from approval of this proposal to provide the NSCC number
to the Exchange. Finally, the Commission notes that no comments were
received regarding the proposal.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\12\ that the proposed rule change, (SR-Phlx-2009-101), be, and
hereby is, approved.
