[Docket No. FAA-2015-7689; Special Conditions No. 25-645-SC]

Special Conditions: Lufthansa Technik AG; Boeing Model 747-8
Series Airplanes, Large Non-Structural Glass in the Passenger
Compartment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions.

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

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 747-8
airplane. This airplane, as modified by Lufthansa Technik AG
(Lufthansa), will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared
to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards
for transport-category airplanes. This design feature is the
installation of large, non-structural glass panels in the cabin area of
an executive interior occupied by passengers and crew. The applicable
airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety
standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the
additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary
to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: Effective April 17, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 8, 2012, Lufthansa Technik AG applied for a supplemental
type certificate for large, non-structural glass panels in the
passenger compartment in a Boeing Model 747-8 airplane. The Model 747-8
airplane is a derivative of the Boeing Model 747-400 airplane approved
under type certificate no. A20WE. The airplane, as modified by
Lufthansa Technik AG, is a four-engine, transport-category airplane
that will have a maximum takeoff weight of 970,000 lbs, capacity for 24
crewmembers, and seating for 143 passengers.

Type Certification Basis

    The certification basis for the Boeing Model 747-8 airplane, as
defined in

type certificate no. A20WE, is Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 25 as amended by amendments 25-1 through 25-120, with
exceptions for structures and systems that were unchanged from the 747-
400 design.
    Under the provisions of Sec.  21.101, Lufthansa Technik AG must
show that the Model 747-8 airplane, as changed, continues to meet the
applicable provisions of the regulations listed in type certificate no.
A20WE, or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of
application for the change.
    The certification basis includes certain special conditions,
exemptions, or later amended sections of the applicable part that are
not relevant to these special conditions.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Boeing Model 747-8 airplane
because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are
prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the applicant apply for a supplemental type
certificate to modify any other model included on the same type
certificate to incorporate the same novel or unusual design feature,
these special conditions would also apply to the other model under
Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model 747-8 airplane must comply with the fuel-vent and
exhaust-emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise-
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    Lufthansa Technik AG is modifying a Boeing Model 747-8 airplane to
install an executive interior. This airplane, as modified, will have a
novel or unusual design feature that is the installation of large, non-
structural glass panels in the cabin area of an executive interior
occupied by passengers and crew. The installation of these glass items
in the passenger compartment, which can be occupied during taxi,
takeoff, and landing, is a novel or unusual design feature with respect
to the material being installed. The applicable airworthiness
regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for
this design feature.

Discussion

    No specific regulations address the design and installation of
large glass components in airplane passenger cabins. Existing
requirements, such as Sec. Sec.  25.561, 25.562, 25.601, 25.603,
25.613, 25.775, and 25.789, in the Boeing Model 747-8 airplane
certification basis applicable to this supplemental type certificate
project, provide some design standards appropriate for large glass
component installations. However, additional design standards for non-
structural glass augmenting the existing design are needed to
complement the existing requirements. The addition of glass involved in
this installation, and the potentially unsafe conditions caused by
damage to such components from external sources, necessitate assuring
that adequate safety standards are applied to the design and
installation of the feature in Boeing Model 747-8 airplanes.
    For purposes of these special conditions, a large glass component
is defined as a glass component weighing 4 kg (9 lbs) or more.
Groupings of glass items that individually weigh less than 4 kg, but
collectively weigh 4 kg or more, also would need to be included. These
special conditions also apply when showing compliance with the
applicable performance standards in the regulations for the
installation of these components. For example, heat-release and smoke-
density testing must not result in fragmentation of the component.
    The use of glass has resulted in trade-offs between the one unique
characteristic of glass--its capability for undistorted or controlled
light transmittance, or transparency--and the negative aspects of the
material, such as extreme notch-sensitivity, low fracture resistance,
low modulus of elasticity, and highly variable properties. While
reasonably strong, glass is nonetheless not a desirable material for
traditional airplane applications because it is heavy (about the same
density as aluminum), and when it fails, it breaks into extremely sharp
fragments that have the potential for injury and have been known to be
lethal. Thus the use of glass traditionally has been limited to
windshields, and instrument and display transparencies. The regulations
for certification of transport-category airplanes only address, thus
only recognize, the use of glass in windshield or window applications.
These regulations do address the adverse properties of glass, but even
so, pilots are occasionally injured from shattered glass windshields.
FAA policy allows glass on instruments and display transparencies.
    Other installations of large, non-structural glass items have
included the following:
     Glass panels integrated onto a stairway handrail closeout.
     Glass panels mounted in doors to allow visibility through
the door when desired.
     Glass doors on some galley compartments containing small
amounts of service items.
    These special conditions will reduce the hazards from breakage, or
from these panels' potential separation from the cabin interior.
    These special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Discussion of Comments

    Notice of Proposed Special Conditions no. 25-16-03-SC for Lufthansa
modifications to the Boeing Model 747-8 airplane was published in the
Federal Register on February 25, 2016 (81 FR 9363). One comment was
received.
    By letter no. B-H020-REG-16-TLM-17 dated March 24, 2016, on behalf
of The Boeing Company (Boeing), Capt. Terry L. McVenes, Director,
System Safety & Regulatory Affairs, wrote that Boeing provides a

. . . comprehensive set of comments that identify areas of the
proposed text where changes would be beneficial for better clarity
and accuracy. [Boeing] consider[s] such clarifications important to
ensure consistent and standardized interpretation and application of
the requirements and guidance provided in the document.

    Boeing recommends that proposed special condition no. 1, Material,
and proposed special condition no. 2, Fragmentation, be revised to
more-clearly define what each of these special conditions require, and
how these two requirements are different. We agree that those two
conditions could be addressed with a single test, so we combined those
two conditions into a single condition, special condition no. 1, in
this document, for clarity. The subsequent special conditions have been
renumbered accordingly.
    Boeing commented that the load conditions in special condition no.
4, in Notice no. 25-16-03-SC, which corresponds to special condition
no. 3 in this document, should include all flight and landing loads,
rather than only emergency landing. These special conditions are in
addition to the load requirements in the certification basis

for the glass installation, rather than in lieu of the load
requirements. Thus, it is not necessary to repeat that all of these
loads apply to this installation. The emergency-landing load condition
is not normally applied to installations of this type, but for the use
of large glass in the cabin, we determined that this additional safety
standard is necessary. We made no changes to special condition number 3
in response to the Boeing comments.
    Boeing recommends that the loading conditions in proposed special
condition no. 3 (which is now special condition no. 2), Strength, and
proposed special condition no. 4 (which is now special condition no.
3), Retention, be the same. Proposed special condition no. 3 (which is
now special condition no. 2), Strength, is required to address the
unique, extremely notch-sensitive characteristics of the glass as
having low fracture resistance, low modulus of elasticity, and highly
variable properties. Special condition no. 3 (which is now special
condition no. 2) specifically accounts for abuse loads in addition to
the loads required per subparts C & D of 14 CFR part 25. Special
condition no. 4 (which is now special condition no. 3) accounts for
loads encountered during directional loading and rebound resulting from
emergency landing loads of 14 CFR part 25. We have made minor
grammatical modifications to the requirements.
    Boeing recommends that, for proposed special condition no. 4 (which
is now special condition no. 3), Retention, the statement, ``Both the
directional loading and rebound conditions must be assessed,'' be
removed, because these both are covered in proposed special condition
no. 3. As explained above, special condition nos. 3 (which is now
special condition no. 2) and 4 (which is now special condition no. 3)
account for different loading conditions. We have made minor
grammatical modifications to the requirements.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to
Boeing Model 747-8 series airplanes as modified by Lufthansa. Should
Lufthansa apply at a later date for a supplemental type certificate to
modify any other model included on type certificate no. A20WE to
incorporate the same novel or unusual design feature, these special
conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature
on one model series of airplane. It is not a rule of general
applicability and affects only the applicant who applied to the FAA for
approval of this feature on the airplane.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued, for large
glass components installed in a cabin occupied by passengers or crew
who are not otherwise protected from the injurious effects of failure
of the glass installations, as part of the type certification basis for
Boeing 747-8 airplanes modified by Lufthansa Technik AG.
    1. Material Fragmentation--The applicant must use tempered or
otherwise treated glass to ensure that, when fractured, the glass
breaks into small pieces with relatively dull edges. The glass
component installation must retain all glass fragments to minimize the
danger from flying glass shards or pieces. The applicant must
demonstrate this characteristic by impact and puncture testing, and
testing to failure. The applicant may conduct this test with or without
any glass coating that may be utilized in the design.
    2. Strength--In addition to meeting the load requirements for all
flight and landing loads, including any of the applicable emergency-
landing conditions in subparts C & D of 14 CFR part 25, the glass
components that are located such that they are not protected from
contact with cabin occupants must not fail due to abusive loading, such
as impact from occupants stumbling into, leaning against, sitting on,
or performing other intentional or unintentional forceful contact with
the glass component. The applicant must assess the effect of design
details such as geometric discontinuities or surface finish, including
but not limited to embossing and etching.
    3. Retention--The glass component, as installed in the airplane,
must not come free of its restraint or mounting system in the event of
an emergency landing, considering both the directional loading and
resulting rebound conditions. The applicant must assess the effect of
design details such as geometric discontinuities or surface finish,
including but not limited to embossing and etching.
    4. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness: The instructions for
continued airworthiness must reflect the method used to fasten the
panel to the cabin interior and must ensure the reliability of the
methods used (e.g., life limit of adhesives, or clamp connection). The
applicant must define any inspection methods and intervals based upon
adhesion data from the manufacturer of the adhesive, or upon actual
adhesion-test data, if necessary.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62774; File No. SR-BX-2010-058]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Rule 2260 To Reflect Changes to Corresponding FINRA Rule

August 26, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on August 17, 2010, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BX'')
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 Exchange. The Exchange has designated the
proposed rule change as constituting a non-controversial rule change
under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act,\3\ which renders the proposal
effective upon filing with the Commission. 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.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend BX Rule 2260 and IM-2260 to reflect
recent changes to a corresponding rule of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (``FINRA''). The text of the proposed rule change
is available at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the Exchange's
principal office, at the Commission's Public Reference Room, and on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

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
    Many of the Exchange's rules are based on rules of FINRA (formerly
the National Association of Securities Dealers (``NASD'')). During
2008, FINRA embarked on an extended process of moving rules formerly
designated as ``NASD Rules'' into a consolidated FINRA rulebook. In
many cases, FINRA has renumbered these rules, and in some cases has
substantively amended them. Accordingly, BX has initiated a process of
modifying its rulebook to ensure that BX rules corresponding to FINRA/
NASD rules continue to mirror them as closely as practicable.
    This filing addresses BX Rule 2260 and IM-2260, which incorporates
the guidance previously contained in the corresponding NASD Rules
relating to the forwarding of proxy and other materials by members and
the rates of reimbursement for such actions. In SR-FINRA-2009-066,\4\
FINRA combined NASD Rule 2260 and IM-2260 into FINRA Rule 2251 without
material amendment to the substance of the rule. FINRA also made minor
clarifying changes and other changes primarily to reflect the new
formatting and terminology conventions of the Consolidated FINRA
Rulebook.\5\ The Exchange proposes to similarly combine BX Rule 2260
and IM-2260 into new BX Rule 2251, which will continue to incorporate
the requirements of the corresponding FINRA rule.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61052 (November 23,
2009), 74 FR 62857 (December 1, 2009) (SR-FINRA-2009-066).
    \5\ The Commission notes that, as part of those changes, FINRA
deleted references to NASD Rule 2430. Since FINRA Rule 2251 no
longer references NASD Rule 2430, and BX is conforming its rule to
reflect the current FINRA rule, BX is also proposing to delete
references to Nasdaq Rule 2430.
    \6\ BX intends to make a separate rule filing to incorporate
changes required to this Rule by Section 957 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\7\ in general, and with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that the proposal 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 regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
changes will conform the Exchange's rules to recent changes made to the
corresponding FINRA rules, to promote application of consistent
regulatory standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

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 foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ thereunder in that
it effects a change that: (i) Does not significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, does not
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.\11\ The Exchange has
requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). When filing a proposed rule change
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act, an Exchange is required
to give the Commission written notice of its 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 met this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has considered the Exchange's request to waive the
30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. As noted above, BX rules cross-reference certain NASD
rules that no longer exist, and have been updated in the consolidated
FINRA rulebook. The proposed rule change will update certain of the
references in the Exchange's rules that are outdated. The Commission
also notes that these changes have previously been approved by the
Commission for FINRA. The Commission believes that allowing this rule
change to become immediately operative will facilitate the purpose of
this rule change--namely, to eliminate any potential confusion arising
from the existing rule's outdated cross-references. Based on the
foregoing, the Commission finds that waiving the 30-day operative delay
period is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, and the proposal is therefore deemed operative upon
filing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For the purposes only of waiving the operative date of this
proposal, 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 the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 17a-3; SEC File No. 270-026; OMB Control No. 3235-0033.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') intends to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of information discussed below. The Code

of Federal Regulations citation to this collection of information: 17
CFR 240.17a-3.
    Rule 17a-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.) establishes minimum standards with respect to business records
that broker-dealers registered with the Commission must make and keep
current. These records are maintained by the broker-dealer (in
accordance with a separate rule), so they can be used by the broker-
dealer and reviewed by Commission examiners, as well as other
regulatory authority examiners, during inspections of the broker-
dealer.
    The collections of information included in Rule 17a-3 is necessary
to provide Commission, self-regulatory organizations and state
examiners to conduct effective and efficient examinations to determine
whether broker-dealers are complying with relevant laws, rules, and
regulations. If broker-dealers were not required to create these
baseline, standardized records, Commission, self-regulatory
organizations and state examiners could be unable to determine whether
broker-dealers are in compliance with the Commission's antifraud and
anti-manipulation rules, financial responsibility program, and other
Commission, self-regulatory organizations, and State laws, rules, and
regulations.
    As of July 30, 2007 there were 5,850 broker-dealers registered with
the Commission. The Commission estimates that these broker-dealer
respondents incur a total burden of 2,984,760 hours per year to comply
with Rule 17a-3. Approximately 1,524,210 of those hours are
attributable to Rule 17a-3(a)(17), and about 1,460,550 hours are
attributable to the rest of Rule 17a-3. Rule 17a-3(a)(17) contains
requirements to provide customers with account information
(approximately 975,809 hours) and requirements to update customer
account information (approximately 548,401 hours).
    In addition, Rule 17a-3 contains ongoing operation and maintenance
costs for broker-dealers including the cost of postage to provide
customers with account information, and costs for equipment and systems
development. The Commission estimates that under Rule 17a-3(a)(17),
approximately 36,365,553 customers will need to be provided with
information regarding their account on a yearly basis. The Commission
estimates that the postage costs associated with providing those
customers with copies of their account record information would be
approximately $8,176,435 per year (28,390,400 x $0.288).\1\ Based on
comments provided in response to the 2001 Amendments (as adjusted to
account for inflation), the staff believes that the ongoing equipment
and systems development costs relating to Rule 17a-3 for the industry
would be about $23,362,847 per year. Consequently, the total cost
burden associated with Rule 17a-3 would be approximately $31,539,282
per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Estimates of postage costs are derived from past
conversations with industry representatives and have been adjusted
to account for inflation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    Comments should be directed to: R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or send

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2015-0100; FRL-9978-53-OLEM]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Continuous Release Reporting Regulations (CRRR) Under
CERCLA 1980 (Renewal); EPA ICR No. 1445.13, OMB Control No. 2050-0086

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit an information collection request (ICR), ``Agency Information
Collection Activities; Submission to OMB for Review and Approval;
Comment Request; Continuous Release Reporting Regulations (CRRR) Under
CERCLA 1980 (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1445.13, OMB Control No. 2050-
0086) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing
so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as described below. This is a proposed
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through November 30,
2018. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 30, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-2015-0100 online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA
Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sicy Jacob, Regulations Implementation
Division, Office of Emergency Management, (5104A), Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460;
telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Section 103(a) of CERCLA, as amended, requires the person
in charge of a vessel or facility to immediately notify the National

Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous substance release into the
environment if the amount of the release equals or exceeds the
substance's reportable quantity (RQ). The RQ of every hazardous
substance can be found in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4.
    Reporting under the Emergency Planning Community Right to Know Act
(EPCRA) section 304 is closely tied to reporting under CERCLA section
103. Under the provisions of EPCRA section 304, all releases of CERCLA
hazardous substances that must be reported under CERCLA section 103(a),
as well as EPCRA EHSs, must also be reported to State Emergency
Response Commissions (SERCs) and Local Emergency Planning Committees
(LEPCs) if the releases have a potential for off-site exposure.
Releases of other EHSs, that are not CERCLA hazardous substances must
be reported to SERCs and LEPCs if they occur in a manner that would
require notification under CERCLA section 103(a). Similarly, releases
exempt from reporting under CERCLA section 103(a), such as federally
permitted releases, or releases subject to reduced reporting
requirements under CERCLA section 103(f)(2), are not subject to
immediate notification under EPCRA section 304.
    The previous ICR inadvertently omitted collection activities and
the burden and cost analysis under EPCRA, and are now being accounted
for in this ICR renewal.
    The continuous release reporting regulations (CRRR) is codified in
40 CFR 302.8 and 355.32 for CERCLA and EPCRA, respectively.
    Section 103(f)(2) of CERCLA provides facilities relief from this
per-occurrence notification requirement if the hazardous substance
release at or above the RQ is continuous and stable in quantity and
rate. To ensure that government authorities receive timely and
sufficient information to evaluate potentially dangerous hazardous
substance releases reported under CERCLA section 103 and EPCRA Section
304, the Continuous Release Reporting Requirements (CRRR), requires
reporting a release as a continuous release. The regulations require
facilities to make an initial telephone call to the NRC, the SERC, and
the LEPC, an initial written report to the EPA Region, the SERC, and
the LEPC, and, if the source and chemical composition of the continuous
release does not change and the level of the continuous release does
not significantly increase, a follow-up written report to the EPA
Region one year after submission of the initial written report. If the
source or chemical composition of the previously reported continuous
release changes, notifying the NRC, the EPA Region, the SERC, and the
LEPC of a change in the source or composition of the release is
required. Further, a significant increase in the level of the
previously reported continuous release must be reported immediately to
the NRC, the SERC, and the LEPC according to section 103(a) of CERCLA
and EPCRA section 304. Finally, any change in information submitted in
support of a continuous release notification must be reported to the
EPA Region.
    The reporting of a hazardous substance release that is equal to or
above the substance's RQ allows the Federal government to determine
whether a Federal response action is required to control or mitigate
any potential adverse effects to public health or welfare or the
environment.
    The continuous release of hazardous substance information collected
under CERCLA section 103(f)(2) is also available to EPA program offices
and other Federal agencies who use the information to evaluate the
potential need for additional regulations, new permitting requirements
for specific substances or sources, or improved emergency response
planning. State and local government authorities and facilities subject
to the CRRR use release information for purposes of local emergency
response planning. Members of the public, who have access to release
information through the Freedom of Information Act, may request release
information for purposes of maintaining an awareness of what types of
releases are occurring in different localities and what actions, if
any, are being taken to protect public health and welfare and the
environment. 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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    Form numbers: EPA Form 6100-10, Continuous Release Reporting Form.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are not defined. The usage and release of hazardous
substances are pervasive throughout industry. EPA expects a number of
different industrial categories to report hazardous substance releases
under the provisions of the CRRR. No one industry sector or group of
sectors is disproportionately affected by the information collection
burden.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory if respondents want
to obtain reduced reporting for continuous releases. See the abstract
for details.
    Estimated number of respondents: 4,192.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 334,472 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $19,797,899 (per year), includes $243,200
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 8,890 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase in burden results primarily from use of
data on the actual number of continuous release reports from several
regions and applying a growth rate consistent with prior years
reporting. The average annual percent increase in facilities in the
previous ICR was approximately 7.5%. The same percent increase was
assumed for this ICR. The unit burden hours per respondent information
collection activity remains the same as the previous ICR. In addition,
this ICR takes into account the requirements under EPCRA section 304,
which were inadvertently omitted last renewal.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-73790; File No. SR-ICC-2014-17]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Order
Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change To Revise ICC End-of-Day
Price Discovery Policies and Procedures

December 8, 2014.

I. Introduction

    On October 17, 2014, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change SR-ICC-2014-17 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\2\ The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on November 3, 2014.\3\ The Commission received no comment letters
regarding the proposed change. 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. 34-73451 (Oct. 28,
2014), 79 FR 65280 (Nov. 3, 2014) (SR-ICC-2014-17).

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    ICC is proposing this change to revise the ICC End-of-Day Price
Discovery Policies and Procedures to incorporate enhancements to its
price discovery

process. This revision does not require any changes to the ICC Clearing
Rules.
    According to ICC, it utilizes a ``cross and lock'' algorithm as
part of its price discovery process. As described by ICC, under this
algorithm, bids and offers derived from Clearing Participant (``CP'')
submissions are matched by sorting them from highest to lowest and
lowest to highest levels, respectively. This sorting process pairs the
CP submitting the highest bid price with the CP submitting the lowest
offer price, the CP submitting the second highest bid price with the CP
submitting the second-lowest offer price, and so on. The algorithm then
identifies crossed and/or locked markets. Crossed markets are the
Clearing Participant pairs generated by the sorting and ranking process
for which the bid price of one Clearing Participant is above the offer
price of the matched Clearing Participant. The algorithm identifies
locked markets, where the bid and the offer are equal, in a similar
fashion. The mid-point of the first non-crossed, non-locked matched
market is, as stated by ICC, the final end-of-day level (with
additional steps taken to remove off-market submissions from
influencing the final level). According to ICC, this process captures
the market dynamics of trading; however, final pricing levels are
ultimately determined by a single bid and a single offer, which results
in the ability for one submission to influence the outcome.
    ICC proposes enhancements to its methodology to improve the
consistency of prices and reduce the sensitivity of the final level to
a single Clearing Participant's submission. ICC states that under the
new ``cross and lock'' methodology, the average of the mid-points of
all non-crossed, non-locked matched markets that are less than or equal
to one bid-offer width is used as the final level (with additional
steps taken to remove off-market submissions from influencing the final
level). ICC states that, as a result, prices are less sensitive to
outlying submissions. ICC also proposes additional language in the ICC
End-of-Day Price Discovery Policies and Procedures to clarify existing
policies and practices, including, but not limited to, language to
clarify the existing pricing methodology's treatment of identical
crossed or locked matched market bids or offers.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act \4\ directs the Commission to
approve a proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if the
Commission finds that such proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to such self-regulatory organization. Section 17A(b)(3)(F)
of the Act \5\ requires, among other things, that the rules of a
clearing agency are designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent
applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions, to
assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 17A of the Act \6\ and the rules thereunder applicable to
ICC. The revised ICC End-of-Day Price Discovery Policies and Procedures
will reduce the sensitivity of the final price level to a single
Clearing Participant's submission, resulting in more consistent day-
over-day end-of-day levels. The proposed rule change is therefore
reasonably expected to provide a pricing methodology to more accurately
reflect the market level. As such, the Commission believes that the
changes will promote the prompt and accurate settlement of securities
and derivatives transactions, and therefore are consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to ICC, in particular, Section 17(A)(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in
particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \7\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-ICC-2014-17) be, and
hereby is, approved.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \9\ 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.\10\
