Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP17-211-000]

Caledonia Energy Partners, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization

    Take notice that on April 20, 2017, Caledonia Energy Partners, LLC
(Caledonia), 20329 State Highway 249, Suite 500, Houston, Texas 77070,
filed in Docket No. CP17-211-000, a prior notice request pursuant to
sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA). Caledonia seeks authorization to abandon Gas
Storage Wells No. 7 and No. 9, both located at its storage facility
(Caledonia Facility) in Lowndes and Monroe Counties, Mississippi.
    Caledonia proposes to perform these activities under its blanket
certificate authority issued in Docket No. CP05-16-000, all as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
    In its application, Caledonia also states that the abandonment of
Wells No. 7 and No. 9 will not have an effect on Caledonia's ability to
serve its storage customers, as there will be neither an effect on
deliverability, nor an adverse impact to storage volumes. Caledonia
also states that the proposed abandonment will not affect the existing
boundary, total inventory, reservoir pressure, reservoir and buffer
boundaries, or the certificated capacity of the Caledonia Facility.
    The filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using
the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-

20329 State Highway 249, Suite 500, Houston, Texas 77070, or by calling
(281) 374-3089 (telephone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 60 days after the
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to section 157.205 of
the Commission's Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed
therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized
effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is
filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for
filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an
application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments

final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link. Persons unable to file

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12747-002]

San Diego County Water Authority; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted For Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 1, 2013, the San Diego County Water Authority filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the San
Vicente Pumped Storage Water Power Project No. 12747 to be located on
at the existing San Vicente dam and reservoir on San Vicente Creek in
San Diego County, California. The proposed project would consist of the
existing San Vicente reservoir functioning as the lower reservoir of
the project and one of four alternatives as an upper reservoir.
Specific details about each of these alternatives are described below.
The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the
permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to
perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or
waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    All four of the alternatives would use the San Vicente reservoir,
as the lower reservoir of the pumped storage project. The San Vicente
reservoir portion of the project consists of: (1) An existing dam,
currently being raised to a dam height of 337 feet, and a length of
1,442 feet; and (2) an existing impoundment, that upon completion of
the dam raise will have a surface area of 1,600 acres, and storage
capacity of 247,000 acre-feet with a normal maximum water surface
elevation of 767 feet above mean sea level (msl).
    There are four alternatives for the upper reservoir, as described
below.
    Alternative Site A is located near Iron Mountain 3 miles northwest
of San Vicente reservoir and includes: (1) A proposed 235-foot-high,
1,250-foot-long upper dam; (2) a proposed reservoir with a surface area
of 93 acres having a storage capacity of 8,070 acre-feet and a normal
maximum water surface elevation of 2,110 feet msl; (3) a proposed
12,300-foot-long, 20-foot-diameter concrete power tunnel; (4) two
proposed 500-foot-long steel-lined penstocks; (5) a proposed powerhouse
containing two generating units having a total installed capacity of
500 megawatts (MW); (6) a proposed 3,300-foot-long, 24-foot-diameter
concrete tailrace; (7) a proposed 14,000-foot-long, 230-kilovolt
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
    Alternative Site B is located near Foster Canyon, approximately 0.5
mile northwest of San Vicente reservoir and includes: (1) A proposed
215-foot-high, 4,500-foot-long upper dam; (2) a proposed upper
reservoir with a surface area of 100 acres having a storage capacity of
12,200 acre-feet and a normal maximum water surface elevation of 1,490
feet msl; and (3) appurtenant facilities.
    Alternative Site C is located approximately 1.8 miles southeast of
the San Vicente reservoir and includes: (1) A proposed 200-foot-high,
2,200-foot-long upper dam; (2) a proposed upper

reservoir with a surface area of 60 acres having a storage capacity of
6,800 acre-feet and a normal maximum water surface elevation of 1,600
feet msl; and (3) appurtenant facilities.
    Alternative Site D is located approximately 1.8 miles southeast of
the San Vicente reservoir. The reservoir would have a water surface
area of 80 acres at a full pond elevation of 1,800 feet msl.
    Each alternative would interconnect via a 230-kilovolt primary
transmission line to the existing San Diego Gas and Electric Sunrise
Powerlink 500-kV transmission line located approximately one half mile
northwest of the project.
    The applicant proposes to investigate potential power development
in the range of 240 to 500 MW. The proposed project would have a
maximum estimated annual generation of up to 1,000 gigawatt-hours,
which would be sold to a local utility.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31312 Amdt. No. 3905]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective May 27, 2020. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of May 27, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg 29 Room 104, Oklahoma
City, OK 73169. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.

    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979); and
(3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal.
    For the same reason, the FAA certifies that this amendment will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    The Keowee-Toxaway Project consists of two developments: The
upstream, 710.1-MW Jocassee Development and the downstream, 157.5-
megawatt (MW) Keowee Development owned by Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC.
The Jocassee Development includes: A 385-foot-high, 1,800-foot-long
main earthfill dam with top elevation at 1,125 feet above mean sea
level (msl); two circular intake structures passing water to two water
conveyance tunnels leading to four turbines; two saddle dikes (825 feet
and 500 feet in length); a partially-open powerhouse just downstream of
the dam containing four reversible pump-turbine units authorized for an
installed capacity of 177.5 MW each; a 50-foot-wide, concrete, ogee-
type spillway with two Taintor gates; a 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission
system; and appurtenant facilities. The maximum hydraulic capacity is
36,200 cfs.
    The Jocassee Development is operated as a pumped-storage project,
with the pump-turbines used for generating power during peak demand
periods (typically during the day), and for pumping water back through
the tunnels to Lake Jocassee (typically during the night). The pumps
have a capacity of 32,720 cfs. The Jocassee Development is also the
lower lake for the 1,065 MW Bad Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 2740,
which is also owned by Duke, but is not part of this relicensing.
    The Keowee Development includes: a 165-foot-high, 3,500-foot-long
earthfill dam impounding the Keowee River, and a 165-foot-high, 1,800-
foot-long earthfill dam impounding the Little River; four saddle dikes
(1,900 feet, 225 feet, 350 feet, and 650 feet in length); an intake
dike at the Oconee Nuclear Station; a 176-foot wide, concrete, ogee-
type spillway with four Taintor gates; a concrete intake structure
leading to two penstocks; a concrete powerhouse at the base of Keowee
dam containing two Francis-type, mixed flow turbine-generator units
authorized for an installed capacity of 78.8 MW each; a 150-foot by
500-foot concrete tailrace; a 230-kV transmission system; and
appurtenant facilities. The maximum hydraulic capacity is 24,920 cfs.
    Duke and several stakeholders signed a relicensing agreement
(settlement), which resolves all issues to relicensing the project
among the signatories.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-96861; File No. SR-CboeBZX-2022-038]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; Order
Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No.
1, To Amend Rule 11.28(a) To Extend the MOC Cut-Off Time for Cboe
Market Close

February 9, 2023.

I. Introduction

    On August 5, 2022, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (``BZX'' 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 BZX Rule 11.28(a) to extend the cut-off
time for accepting Market-on-Close orders entered for participation in
the Cboe Market Close. The proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on August 24, 2022.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 95529 (August 17,
2022), 87 FR 52092.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 4, 2022, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the
Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule
change.\5\ On November 11, 2022, the Exchange submitted Amendment No. 1
to the proposed rule change.\6\ Amendment No. 1 was published for
comment in the Federal Register and, under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the
Act,\7\ the Commission instituted proceedings to determine whether to
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 95967, 87 FR 61425
(October 11, 2022).
    \6\ Amendment No. 1 amended and superseded the proposed rule
change as originally filed. Amendment No. 1 is available on the
Commission's website at: https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2022-038/srcboebzx2022038.htm.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).

2022), 87 FR 72527 (November 25, 2022) (``Order Instituting
Proceedings'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule
change. This order approves the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1.

II. Description of the Proposal, as Modified by Amendment No. 1

    Cboe Market Close (``CMC'') provides the Exchange's Members \9\ an
optional closing match process for non-BZX-listed securities.
Currently, pursuant to BZX Rule 11.28(a), Members may enter, cancel, or
replace Market-on-Close (``MOC'') orders designated for participation
in CMC beginning at 6:00 a.m.\10\ up to 3:35 p.m. (``MOC Cut-Off
Time'').\11\ The Exchange states that the CMC closing match process--
the matching of all buy and sell MOC orders entered into the BZX system
by time priority at the MOC Cut-Off Time, the electronic notification
to Members of any unmatched MOC orders, and the dissemination by the
Exchange in the Cboe Auction Feed of the total size of all buy and sell
orders matched via CMC--generally occurs within microseconds.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The term ``Member'' means any registered broker or dealer
that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange. See BZX Rule
1.5(n), definition of ``Member.''
    \10\ All times referenced in this order are Eastern Time.
    \11\ See Order Instituting Proceedings, 87 FR at 72528.
    \12\ See id. at 72530 n.34. The Exchange states that, while the
duration may vary, the total matching process typically takes a
fraction of a second--about 948 microseconds--with the maximum being
around one second. See id. at 72531 n.41.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to move the MOC Cut-Off Time from 3:35
p.m. to 3:49 p.m. The Exchange states that its Members have requested
an MOC Cut-Off Time that is closer to the end of its regular trading
hours (4:00 p.m.) so that they may retain control of their trading for
a longer period and better manage their trading at the close.\13\ The
Exchange also states that its Members have indicated that extending the
MOC Cut-Off Time to 3:49 p.m. will help make CMC a more comparable
alternative to the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') and Nasdaq,\14\
which have extended the MOC cut-off times for their closing auctions
closer to 4:00 p.m. (to 3:50 p.m. and 3:55 p.m., respectively).\15\ The
Exchange further states that closing price match services offered by
off-exchange venues, including alternative trading systems, have grown
in popularity, and that such venues offer an MOC cut-off time as close
as 30 seconds before the primary exchanges' cut-off times.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See id. at 72529. The Exchange posits that market
participants may prefer to trade as close to 4:00 p.m. as possible
because doing so can provide them with more time to seek better
priced liquidity for their orders, as well as give them more time to
determine the size of their outstanding orders that they may decide
to commit to CMC, the primary exchanges' closing auctions, or
services offered by off-exchange venues. See id. at 72529-31.
    \14\ See id. at 72529.
    \15\ See id. at 72528 and n.25.
    \16\ See id. at 72528-59 and n.27.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.\17\
In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\18\ which requires, among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative

acts and practices, 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, and not be designed to permit unfair
discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers; and
Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\19\ which requires that the rules of a
national securities exchange not impose any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ In approving this proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes an MOC Cut-Off Time of 3:49 p.m., which would
be one minute prior to NYSE's current MOC cut-off time of 3:50 p.m. and
six minutes prior to Nasdaq's current MOC cut-off time of 3:55 p.m.\20\
The Exchange states that it discussed the proposed 3:49 p.m. MOC Cut-
Off Time with both current CMC users and potential new CMC users and
confirmed that both groups could technologically manage the proposed
change.\21\ The Exchange states that today's market participants,
including CMC users, rely on electronic smart order routers, order
management systems, and trading algorithms, which make routing and
trading decisions on an automated basis, in times typically measured in
microseconds.\22\ The Exchange states that CMC's current users utilize
third-party providers or broker-dealers that provide them with
electronic trading technology, enabling them to quickly react to market
conditions and messages; and further states that market participants
that may not currently possess internal high-speed routing and trading
technology may, and likely already do, utilize such service
providers.\23\ The Exchange thus believes that if a CMC user receives a
message that their MOC order was not matched in CMC, such user would
have more than enough time to re-route their MOC order to the primary
exchange.\24\ The Commission believes that the data and survey
information provided by the Exchange support the Exchange's contention
that a 3:49 p.m. MOC Cut-Off Time would provide CMC users with adequate
time to receive electronic notification of any unmatched MOC orders and
participate in the primary exchanges' closing auctions, should they
choose to do so.\25\ Further, enabling CMC users to retain control of
their trading for a longer period could encourage participation in CMC
by market participants who are unwilling to give up flexibility and
control over their MOC orders starting at 3:35 p.m. and may therefore
promote competition among MOC order execution venues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ It would be 10 minutes prior to NYSE Arca, Inc.'s MOC cut-
off time of 3:59 p.m. See Order Instituting Proceedings, 87 FR
72534.
    \21\ See id. at 72530. Specifically, the Exchange discussed the
proposed change with the two third-party providers whose end users
are responsible for 100 percent of CMC's current volume. These
providers indicated that the automated routing and trading solutions
that they offer to CMC users can appropriately manage a 3:49 p.m.
MOC Cut-Off Time. Additionally, the Exchange discussed the proposed
change with approximately 60 potential new CMC users. These market
participants indicated that extending the MOC Cut-Off Time would
likely encourage them to use CMC as part of their trading strategies
because it would enable them to hold onto and trade their orders
closer to 4:00 p.m. and make CMC a more viable alternative to the
primary exchanges' closing auctions. See id. at 72530 n.35.
    \22\ See id. at 72530.
    \23\ See id. at 72531.
    \24\ See id. at 72530. According to the Exchange, because the
total matching process typically takes a fraction of a second, with
the maximum around one second, with a 3:49 p.m. MOC Cut-Off Time, a
user should, in most instances, know the paired CMC quantity no
later than 3:49:01 p.m., leaving the user at least 59 seconds to re-
route any unpaired MOC orders to the primary exchanges' closing
auctions. See id. at 72531 n.41.
    \25\ The Commission solicited comment in the Order Instituting
Proceedings on the Exchange's evidence and assertions with respect
to these timing considerations and received no contradictory
information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also states that CMC's total matched shares
information would still be disseminated by the Exchange free of charge
via the Cboe Auction Feed, albeit at the new proposed MOC Cut-Off Time
of 3:49 p.m. According to the Exchange, because of the speeds and
widespread use of market technology, market makers on the primary
exchanges could, should they choose to do so, incorporate the Cboe
Auction Feed information into their closing processes.\26\ Further, the
Exchange states that it discussed the proposed 3:49 p.m. MOC Cut-Off
Time with four designated market makers for the primary exchanges who
confirmed that, while they do not currently monitor the Cboe Auction
Feed, they are technically equipped to do so.\27\ Therefore, with a
3:49 p.m. MOC Cut-Off Time, market participants should continue to have
opportunities to utilize CMC's total matched shares information, should
they choose to do so.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See Order Instituting Proceedings, 87 FR 72531.
    \27\ See id. at 72531 n.46.
    \28\ The Commission also solicited comment in the Order
Instituting Proceedings on the Exchange's evidence and assertions
with respect to the dissemination of total matched shares
information and received no contradictory information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that, other than the extension of the MOC Cut-
Off Time, the Exchange proposes no changes to the CMC process.\29\ As
noted above, the Exchange's survey information and data indicate that
CMC users and other market participants could accommodate an MOC Cut-
Off Time of 3:49 p.m. and the total matched shares information would be
disseminated by the Exchange free of charge at the new MOC Cut-Off
Time. Therefore, the Commission believes that the proposed extension of
the MOC Cut-Off Time to 3:49 p.m. should not significantly contribute
to increased market complexity or operational risk.\30\ Finally, the
proposed extension of the MOC Cut-Off Time should not adversely impact
the ability of existing self-regulatory organization surveillance and
enforcement activity to deter market participants who might seek to
abuse CMC or use CMC information to abuse a closing auction on a
primary exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ See Order Instituting Proceedings, 87 FR 72528.
    \30\ Moreover, the Commission previously found that CMC ``should
not significantly increase market complexity and operational risk
because it will simply constitute an additional optional MOC order
execution venue for market participants, and an optional data feed
that market participants may choose to monitor for information
regarding the total size of matched MOC orders via Cboe Market
Close.'' Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88008 (January 21,
2020), 85 FR 4726, 4729 (January 27, 2020) (Order Setting Aside
Action by Delegated Authority and Approving a Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendments No. 1 and 2, to Introduce Cboe Market
Close, a Closing Match Process for Non-BZX Listed Securities under
New Exchange Rule 11.28).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\31\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CboeBZX-2022-038), as
modified by Amendment No. 1, be and hereby is approved.

     Local agency                 Rule No.                    Rule title              Revised      Submitted on

                                                      Definitions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under CAA section 110(k)(1), the EPA must determine whether a SIP
submittal meets the minimum completeness criteria established in 40 CFR
part 51, appendix V for an official SIP submittal on which the EPA is
obligated to take action. We find that the ADEQ's August 23, 2023 SIP
submittal for MCAQD Rule 100 meets the completeness criteria in 40 CFR
part 51 Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ADEQ submitted the amendment to MCAQD Rule 100
electronically on August 23, 2023. ADEQ's submittal letter is dated
August 23, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Are there other versions of this rulemaking?

    We approved an earlier version of MCAQD Rule 100 into the SIP on
February 15, 2022.\2\ The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors adopted
revisions to the SIP-approved version on August 9, 2023, and the ADEQ
submitted them to us on August 23, 2023. If we take final action to
approve the August 9, 2023 version of Rule 100, this version will
replace the previously approved version of this rule in the SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 87 FR 8418 (February 15, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rule revisions?

    The purpose of the submitted rule revisions is to clarify and
update definitions in Rule 100 of the Maricopa County portion of the
Arizona SIP as part of the MCAQD's Title V permit program revision.
Revisions include the following, but a more complete list and
discussion can be found in the technical support document (TSD) for
this action found in the docket:
     The addition of definitions for the terms ``alternative
operating scenario'' and ``business day or working day'' and a revision
of the definition of ``major source.'' A definition for the term
``alternative operating scenario'' was added to allow MCAQD Title V
permit applications the opportunity to submit an alternative operating
scenario for their source. The ``major source'' definition has been
revised to make it consistent with the Title V permit program
definition of ``major source,'' by including language describing a 100
tons per year emission threshold.

II. The EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rulemaking?

    Rules in the SIP must be enforceable (see CAA section 110(a)(2)),
must not interfere with applicable requirements concerning attainment
and reasonable further progress or other CAA requirements (see CAA
section 110(l)), and must not modify certain SIP control requirements
in nonattainment areas

without ensuring equivalent or greater emissions reductions (see CAA
section 193).
    Since Rule 100 sets forth the legal authority for the Maricopa
County Air Pollution Rules, which include MCAQD's Federal new source
review (NSR) rules in Rule 240 for stationary sources located in
nonattainment areas and in attainment and/or unclassifiable areas, the
revisions must be more stringent, or at least as stringent, in all
respects as the corresponding SIP definitions in 40 CFR part
51.165(a)(1) and 51.166(b), which are the implementing regulations for
CAA parts C and D of title I. 40 CFR part 51.165(a)(1) contains the SIP
definitions applicable to Federal NSR operating permit programs for
stationary sources located in nonattainment areas, and 40 CFR 51.166(b)
contains the SIP definitions for stationary sources located in
attainment and/or unclassified areas. Guidance and policy documents
that we used to evaluate enforceability, revision/relaxation and rule
stringency requirements for the applicable criteria pollutants include
the following:
    1. ``State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the
Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,'' 57
FR 13498 (April 16, 1992); 57 FR 18070 (April 28, 1992).
    2. ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations,'' EPA, May 25, 1988 (the Bluebook, revised January 11,
1990).
    3. ``Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,'' EPA Region 9, August 21, 2001 (the Little Bluebook).

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation criteria?

    This rule meets CAA requirements and relevant guidance regarding
enforceability. The TSD has more information on our evaluation.

C. The EPA's Recommendations To Further Improve the Rule

    The TSD includes a recommendation for the next time the local
agency modifies Rule 100.

D. Public Comment and Proposed Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA proposes to
fully approve the submitted rule because it fulfills all relevant
requirements. We will accept comments from the public on this proposal
until January 26, 2024. If we take final action to approve the
submitted rule, our final action will incorporate this rule into the
federally enforceable SIP.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the MCAQD's Rule 100, General Provisions and Definitions,
revised on August 9, 2023, which sets forth the legal authority for the
Maricopa County Air Pollution Rules, and provides definitions of terms
used throughout these rules. The EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials available through https://www.regulations.gov and
at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
     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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it proposes to approve a state program;
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
     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 Clean Air Act.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on Tribal Governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
The EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' The EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    The State did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing
regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA
did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action.
Due to the nature of the action being taken here, this action is
expected to have a neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the
affected area. Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this
action, and there is no information in the record inconsistent with the
stated goal of Executive Order 12898 of achieving environmental justice
for people of color, low-income populations, and Indigenous peoples.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-96646; File No. SR-C2-2023-002]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Its Fees Schedule

January 12, 2023.
    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 January 3, 2023, Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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

    Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``C2'') is filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed rule
change to amend the fees schedule. The text of the proposed rule change
is provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/ctwo/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, 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
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule in connection with
its discount program for Bulk BOE Logical Ports, effective January 3,
2023.
    The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the
Exchange is only one of 16 options venues to which market participants
may direct their order flow. Based on publicly available information,
no single options exchange has more than approximately 18% of the
market share and currently the Exchange represents approximately 4% of
the market share.\3\ Thus, in such a low-concentrated and highly
competitive market, no single options exchange, including the Exchange,
possesses significant pricing power in the execution of option order
flow. The Exchange believes that the ever-shifting market share among
the exchanges from month to month demonstrates that market participants
can shift order flow or discontinue to reduce use of certain categories
of products, in response to fee changes. Accordingly, competitive
forces constrain the Exchange's transaction fees, and market
participants can readily trade on competing venues if they deem pricing
levels at those other venues to be more favorable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Cboe Global Markets U.S. Options Market Volume Summary
by Month (December 27, 2022), available at https://markets.cboe.com/us/options/market_statistics/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange currently offers BOE Bulk Logical Ports (``BOE Bulk
Ports''), which provide users with the ability to submit single and
bulk order messages to enter, modify, or cancel orders designated as
Post Only Orders with a Time-in-Force of Day or GTD with an expiration
time on that trading day. Bulk BOE Ports are assessed $1,500 per port,
per month for the first five Bulk BOE Ports and thereafter assessed
$2,500 per port, per month for each additional Bulk BOE Port. Each Bulk
BOE Port also incurs the logical port fee indicated in the table above
when used to enter up to 30,000,000 orders per trading day per logical
port as measured on average in a single month. Each incremental usage
of up to 30,000,000 orders per day per Bulk BOE Port will incur an
additional logical port fee of

$2,500 per month (``incremental usage fees''). The Exchange also offers
a discount program for Bulk BOE Ports, which provides an opportunity
for Market-Makers to obtain credits on their monthly Bulk BOE Port fees
(excluding incremental usage fees).\4\ Currently, under the Bulk BOE
Ports discount program, Market-Makers will receive a (i) 30% discount
on its monthly Bulk BOE Port fees (excluding incremental usage fees)
where a Market-Maker has (1) a Step-Up ADAV \5\ equal to or greater
than 0.03% of average OCV \6\ from June 2021 and (2) a ``Make Rate''
equal to or greater than 97% \7\ or a (ii) 40% discount on its monthly
Bulk BOE Logical Port fees, excluding incremental usage fees, where the
Market-Maker (1) has a Step-Up ADAV equal to or greater than 0.05% of
OCV from June 2021 and (2) has a ``Make Rate'' equal to or greater than
97%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ While BOE Bulk Ports are available to all market
participants, they are used primarily by Market Makers or firms that
conduct similar business activity.
    \5\ ``ADAV'' means average daily added volume calculated as the
number of contracts added per day. ADAV is calculated on a monthly
basis, excluding contracts added or removed on any day that the
Exchange's system experiences a disruption that lasts for more than
60 minutes during regular trading hours (``Exchange System
Disruption'') and on any day with a scheduled early market close.
    \6\ ``OCV'' (or ``OCC Customer Volume'' means, the total equity
and ETF options volume that clears in the Customer range at the
Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') for the month for which the
fees apply, excluding volume on any day that the Exchange
experiences an Exchange System Disruption and on any day with a
scheduled early market close.
    \7\ The ``Make Rate'' shall be derived from a Market-Maker's
volume the previous month in all symbols using the following
formula: (i) the Market-Maker's total simple add volume divided by
(ii) the Market-Maker's total simple volume. Trades on the open and
complex orders will be excluded from the Make Rate calculation. The
Exchange will aggregate the trading activity of separate Market-
Maker firms for purposes of the discount tier and make rate
calculation if there is at least 75% common ownership between the
firms as reflected on each firm's Form BD, Schedule A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend the current criteria under the Bulk
BOE Port discount program required to receive the offered discounts.
Particularly, the proposed rule change amends the current criteria in
prong one for both the 30% and 40% discounts by changing the base
``step-up'' month from June 2021 to September 2022.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\8\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\9\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and issuers and
other persons using its facilities. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) \10\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be 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, and, particularly, is not
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change to amend the Bulk
BOE Ports discount program is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change to
update the baseline month to a month that is closer in time provides
for a more relevant measure for ``step-up'' volume. The Exchange
believes the Bulk BOE Port discount program, currently and as amended,
is designed to attract liquidity from traditional Market-Makers and
encourage Market-Makers to grow their volume. Increased liquidity and
enhanced quote streaming from Market Makers generally provide greater
trading opportunities and tighter spreads, signaling an additional
corresponding increase in order flow from other market participants.
This potentially deepens the Exchange's liquidity pool, provides
increased execution incentives and opportunities, offers additional
flexibility for all investors to enjoy cost savings, supports the
quality of price discovery, promotes market transparency and improves
investor protection.
    The proposed rule change to amend the Bulk BOE Port discount
program, which is offered only to Market Makers, is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory because Market Makers are valuable market
participants that provide liquidity in the marketplace and incur costs
that other market participants do not incur. For example, Market Makers
have a number of obligations, including quoting obligations and fees
associated with appointments that other market participants do not
have. As noted above, the Exchange also believes that the discount
program, even as amended, provides an incentive for Market Makers to
provide more liquidity to the Exchange. Generally, greater liquidity
benefits all market participants by providing more trading
opportunities and tighter spreads. The Exchange also believes it is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to provide
credits to those Market Makers that primarily provide and post
liquidity to the Exchange, as the Exchange wants to continue to
encourage Market Makers with significant Make Rates to continue to
participate on the Exchange and add liquidity. Further, the discount
program, even as amended, is intended to mitigate the costs incurred by
traditional Market Makers that focus on adding liquidity to the
Exchange (as opposed to those that provide and take, or just take).
Additionally, while the Exchange has no way of predicting with
certainty how many and which Market Makers will satisfy the proposed
criteria to receive the discount, the Exchange anticipates at least two
Market Makers will satisfy the criteria across the two tiers to receive
the applicable discounts. The Exchange does not believe the proposed
discount will adversely impact any Market Maker's pricing. Rather,
should a Market Maker not meet the proposed criteria, the Market Maker
will merely not receive the proposed discount.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change to amend the Bulk BOE Port discount
program offered to Market Makers will impose any burden on intramarket
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act because Market Makers are valuable market
participants that provide liquidity in the marketplace and incur costs
that other market participants do not incur. As described above, Market
Makers have a number of obligations, including quoting obligations and
fees associated with appointments that other market participants do not
have. The proposed change is also equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory as it applies uniformly to all Market-Makers. The
Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change does will impose any
burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As previously discussed, the
Exchange

operates in a highly competitive market. Trading Permit Holders have
numerous alternative venues that they may participate on and director
their order flow, including 15 other options exchanges and off-exchange
venues. Additionally, the Exchange represents a small percentage of the
overall market. Based on publicly available information, no single
options exchange has more than 18% of the market share. Therefore, no
exchange possesses significant pricing power in the execution of option
order flow. Indeed, participants can readily choose to send their
orders to other exchange and off-exchange venues if they deem fee
levels at those other venues to be more favorable. Moreover, the
Commission has repeatedly expressed its preference for competition over
regulatory intervention in determining prices, products, and services
in the securities markets. Specifically, in Regulation NMS, the
Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in determining
prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized that current regulation
of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in promoting
market competition in its broader forms that are most important to
investors and listed companies.'' The fact that this market is
competitive has also long been recognized by the courts. In
NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit
stated as follows: ``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow
is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market
system, buyers and sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that
act as their order-routing agents, have a wide range of choices of
where to route orders for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to
take its market share percentages for granted' because `no exchange
possesses a monopoly, regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of
order flow from broker dealers' . . .''. Accordingly, the Exchange does
not believe its proposed fee change imposes any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
thereunder. 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0437; FRL 10182-01-OAR]

Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request;
Emission Control System Performance Warranty Regulations and Voluntary
Aftermarket Part Certification Program (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit an information collection request (ICR), ``Emission Control
System Performance Warranty Regulations and Voluntary Aftermarket Part
Certification Program (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 0116.1, OMB Control No.
2060-0060) 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 June 30,
2023. 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 December 5, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2013-0437, 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: Lynn Sohacki, Compliance Division,
Office of Transportation and Air Quality, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 2000 Traverwood, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105; telephone number:
734-214-4851; fax 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: Under Section 206(a) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7521), on-highway engine and vehicle manufacturers may not legally
introduce their products into U.S. commerce unless EPA has certified
that their production complies with applicable emission standards. Per
section 207(a), original vehicle manufacturers must warrant that
vehicles are free from defects in materials and workmanship that would
cause the vehicles not to comply with emission regulations during their
useful life. Section 207(a) directs EPA to provide certification to
those manufacturers or builders of automotive aftermarket parts that
demonstrate that the installation and use of their products will not
cause failure of the engine or vehicle to comply with emission
standards. An aftermarket part is any part offered for sale for
installation in or on a motor vehicle after such vehicle has left the
vehicle manufacturer's production line (40 CFR 85.2113(b)).
Participation in the aftermarket certification program is voluntary.
Due to the fact that EPA has received only two aftermarket part
certification applications since 1989, the Agency does not expect to
receive any applications in the next three years. The purpose of this
ICR renewal is to preserve EPA's authority to receive such an
application in the event that one is submitted. Consequently, for the
purposes of this information collection request, EPA has assumed that
one manufacturer will apply for aftermarket part certification during
the three-year period covered by this collection.
    Aftermarket part manufacturers or builders (manufacturers) electing
to participate conduct emission and durability testing as described in
40 CFR part 85, subpart V, and submit data about their products and
testing procedures. Any information submitted to the Agency for which a
claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies
set forth in CFR title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2).
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or builders of
automotive aftermarket parts.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 547 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $37,208 (per year), includes $1,955
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.

Director, Compliance Division.
