[Docket No. FAA-2022-1333; Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-24]
RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Athens/Ben
Epps Airport, Athens, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E
surface airspace, and Class E airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area and Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Athens/Ben Epps Airport, Athens, GA as a
result of the biennial airspace evaluation. This action would eliminate
the excess airspace remaining after the decommissioning of the Bulldog
Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) and subsequent cancellation of the NDB
Runway 27 approach to Athens/Ben Epps Airport effective October 15,
2015, as well as update the geographic coordinates for the airport and
the point-of-origin. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety
and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 27, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to: the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or<PHONE_NUMBER>. You must identify Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority,
as it would amend airspace for Athens/Ben Epps Airport, Athens, GA, to
support IFR operations in the area.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on this proposed
rulemaking

by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may
desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D
airspace for Athens/Ben Epps Airport by extending the airspace from a
4-mile radius to a 4.6-mile radius surrounding the airport, and by
updating the airport's geographic coordinates to coincide with the
FAA's database. Also, Class E surface airspace, extension to Class D
airspace, and transition airspace would be amended for the above
airport. Class E surface airspace for Athens/Ben Epps Airport would be
amended by extending the airspace from a -4-mile radius to a 4.6-mile
radius surrounding the airport. The Class E airspace used for an
extension to Class D will be reduced from 3 miles to 2.4 miles on each
side of the Athens Point of Origin 195[deg] bearing extending from the
4.6-mile radius of the Athens/Ben Epps Airport to 7.6 miles south of
the Point of Origin and will be reduced from 3 miles to 1.4 miles each
side of the Athens Point of Origin 076[deg] bearing extending from the
4.6-mile radius of the airport to 7 miles east of the Point of Origin.
The Class E5 transition airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface would be amended to within a 7.7-mile radius of Athens/Ben
Epps Airport (reduced from an 11.5-mile radius). This eliminates the
excess airspace that remained after the decommissioning of the Bulldog
(BJT) non-directional beacon (NDB) and subsequent cancellation of the
NDB Rwy 27 approach, effective October 15, 2015 (80 FR 61978). In
addition, this action would replace the outdated terms Airport/Facility
Directory with the term Chart Supplement and Notice to Airmen with the
term Notice to Air Missions, in the airspace descriptions. This action
is replacing the VORTAC used for airspace definition with a point-of-
origin.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11G,
dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend Rule
4702 To Establish the ``Midpoint Extended Life Order + Continuous
Book'' as a New Order Type

July 30, 2019.
    On May 29, 2019, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``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 establish
the Midpoint Extended Life Order + Continuous Book (``M-ELO+CB'') as a
new order type. The proposed rule change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on June 17, 2019.\3\ On July 1, 2019, the Exchange
filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which amended and
superseded the proposed rule change as originally filed.\4\ The
Commission has received no comments on the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 86083 (June 11,
2019), 84 FR 28107.
    \4\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange revised the proposal to:
(1) Provide additional detail to the description of and statutory
basis for the proposed rule change; (2) explain in greater detail
the order entry protocols available for M-ELO+CB; (3) specify that
any punitive fees or participant requirements determined to be
necessary by the Exchange for M-ELO+CB usage would be implemented
pursuant to a future proposed rule change; and (4) make technical,
clarifying, and conforming changes. Amendment No. 1 is available at
https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nasdaq-2019-048/srnasdaq2019048-5749583-186789.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ provides that within 45 days of the
publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or
within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate
if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization
consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change,
disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The
45th day for this filing is August 1, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission
action on the proposed rule change. The Commission finds that it is
appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on
the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the
proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\6\ the
Commission designates September 15, 2019, as the date by which the
Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings
to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No.

samples that will replace NASS.

Background

    NHTSA is undertaking a modernization effort to upgrade the National
Automotive Sampling System (NASS) by improving the information
technology infrastructure, updating and prioritizing the data
collected, reselecting the sample sites and sample sizes, re-examining
the electronic formats in which the crash data files are made available
to the public, and improving data collection methods and quality
control procedures, among other activities. This project is called the
Data Modernization (DataMod) Project.
    NASS collects crash data on a nationally representative sample of
police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes and related injuries.
NASS data are used by Federal, State, and local government agencies, as
well as by industry and academia in the U.S. and around the world. The
data enable stakeholders to make informed regulatory, program, and
policy decisions regarding vehicle design and traffic safety. The NASS
system currently has two components: The General Estimates System (GES)
and the Crashworthiness Data System (CDS). While the GES captures
information on all types of traffic crashes, the CDS focuses on more
severe crashes involving passenger vehicles to better document the
consequences to vehicles and occupants in crashes--i.e.,
crashworthiness.
    NASS was originally designed in the 1970's, and has not received
significant revision since that time with regard to the type of data
collected and the sites for data collection. Over the last three
decades NHTSA understands that the scope of traffic safety studies has
expanded and the data needs of the transportation community have
increased and significantly changed. In addition, the distribution of
the U.S. population has shifted over the past four decades, and there
is a growing need for the collection of information that addresses
issues of crash avoidance. Recognizing the importance of this data,
NHTSA is pursuing the DataMod Project to enhance the quality of the
data collected and the overall effectiveness of the NASS.
    As part of the Data Modernization project, NHTSA has redesigned the
NASS. It will be replaced with two new surveys:
     CRSS will be a records-based data collection system
similar to the current GES and will continue to provide the annual,
nationally representative estimates of police-reported motor vehicle
crashes overall. In addition, CRSS will provide estimates by type of
vehicle, and for a broad range of vehicle and crash characteristics
that are needed to fully describe current highway safety and to track
motor vehicle crash trends.
     CISS is an investigation-based system similar to the
current CDS and will collect accurate, detailed information about a
nationally representative selection of passenger vehicle crashes that
involve a passenger vehicle towed from the crash scene. Researchers
will investigate crashes a few days after the crash gathering
information from a variety of sources: crash site inspection, vehicle
inspections, interviews, medical records and others. CISS will have
enhanced pre-crash data and data on the presence and use of crash
avoidance technologies.
    Information on the current NASS sample, coding instructions, and
descriptive materials can be reviewed on NHTSA's Web site at: http://nhtsa.gov/NASS. Information on the Data modernization project and the
report to Congress on NHTSA's Review of the National Automotive Sample
System can be reviewed at: http://www.nhtsa.gov/NCSA.

Public Webinar

    NHTSA is hosting a public webinar to inform vehicle manufacturers
and suppliers, the medical community, researchers, safety advocates and
the general public about the new sample designs for CRSS and CISS.
NHTSA will present a technical overview of the new sample designs

    ICR Title: Request for Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential
Business Information (CBI).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.10, OMB Control No. 2070-0075.
    ICR status: The current OMB approval for this ICR is scheduled to
expire on June 30, 2014. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue
to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: Certain employees of companies working under contract to
EPA require access to CBI collected under the authority of TSCA in
order to perform their official duties. The Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for maintaining the
security of TSCA confidential business information, requires that all
individuals desiring access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually renew
official clearance to TSCA CBI. As part of the process for obtaining
TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires certain information about the
contracting company and about each contractor employee requesting TSCA
CBI clearance, primarily the name, EPA badge number or other
identification of the employee, the type of TSCA CBI clearance
requested and the justification for such clearance, and the signature
of the employee to an agreement with respect to access to and use of
TSCA CBI. This collection addresses the above information requirements.
    Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA
will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality
only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures
in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are companies under contract to the Environmental
Protection Agency to provide certain services, whose employees must
have access to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) confidential
business information to perform their duties.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary. Failure to provide
the requested information, however, will prevent a contractor employee
from obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI.
    Estimated number of respondents: 20 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 483 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $25,875 per year, includes $0 annualized
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 118 hours (from
601 hours to 483 hours) in the burden estimated for this request
compared with the information request most recently approved by OMB.
This decrease reflects EPA's reduction in the estimated number of
contractor employees needing clearance. This change is an adjustment.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-77280; File No. SR-NYSE-2016-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
Amending the Fees for NYSE Proprietary Market Data as They Apply to
Federal Agency Customers

March 3, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on February 29, 2016, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''
or the ``Exchange'') 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 self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the fees for NYSE proprietary market
data as they apply to Federal agency customers. The proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the
principal office of the Exchange, 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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE Proprietary Market Data Fee
Schedule (``Fee Schedule''), to provide that market data fees do not
apply to any Federal agency for their use of NYSE real-time proprietary
market data products. The term ``Federal agency'' as used in the Fee
Schedule would include all Federal agencies subject to the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR),\4\ as well as any Federal agency not
subject to FAR that has promulgated its own procurement rules.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ FAR is the principal set of rules governing the process by
which the U.S. federal government purchases goods and services.
    \5\ See 48 CFR 2.101. FAR defines ``Federal agency'' as ``any
executive agency or any independent establishment in the legislative
or judicial branch of the Government (except the Senate, the House
of Representatives, the Architect of the Capitol, and any activities
under the Architect's direction).'' ``Executive agency'' is defined
as ``an executive department, a military department, or any
independent establishment within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 101, 102,
and 104(1), respectively, and any wholly owned Government
corporation within the meaning of 31 U.S.C. 9101.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing to specify that access fees, professional
user fees and non-display fees do not apply to Federal agencies for
those products to which those fees apply.\6\ The proposal is designed
to allow the Exchange to provide Federal agencies with NYSE real-time
proprietary market data products at no cost in support of Federal
agencies' regulatory responsibilities. With the adoption of the
proposed fee waiver, the Exchange is not waiving any of its contractual
rights and all Federal agencies that subscribe to NYSE real-time
proprietary market data products will be required to execute the
appropriate subscriber agreement, which includes, among other things,
provisions against the redistribution of data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ These products are currently NYSE Integrated Feed, NYSE
OpenBook, NYSE BBO, NYSE Trades, NYSE BQT, NYSE Order Imbalances,
NYSE Alerts and NYSE Bonds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it
provides an equitable allocation of reasonable fees among users and
recipients of the data and is not designed to permit unfair
discrimination among customers, issuers, and brokers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4), (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposal to eliminate the access fees,
display fees for professional users, and non-display fees associated
with its proprietary market data products for customers that are
Federal agencies is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because it is designed to facilitate federal government
regulation without giving an undue advantage to one set of commercial
users over another. The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to
assess no fees to Federal agencies that subscribe to the Exchange's
proprietary market data products because Federal agencies do not use
the Exchange's proprietary market data for commercial gain, but only
for regulatory purposes.

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. In setting the proposed
fees, the Exchange considered the competitiveness of the market for
proprietary data and all of the implications of that competition. The
Federal agencies that will benefit from the proposed rule change,
however, do not use the Exchange's proprietary market data products for
commercial purposes and do not compete with commercial users of the
data. The Exchange believes that it has considered all relevant factors
and has not considered irrelevant factors in order to establish fair,
reasonable, and not unreasonably discriminatory fees and an equitable
allocation of fees among all users.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \9\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-
4 \10\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).

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

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \11\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

Applicants' Representations:

    1. Each Trust is organized as either a Delaware statutory trust or
a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Act as an
open-end management investment company. The Trusts offer separate
series (``Funds'') that may invest in other registered investment
companies in reliance on section 12(d)(1)(G) of the Act and rule 12d1-2
under the Act (``Underlying Funds'').\1\ Applicants propose that the
Funds be permitted to invest in futures contracts, options on futures
contracts, swap agreements, derivatives, and other financial
instruments that may not be securities within the meaning of section
2(a)(36) of the Act (``Other Investments'') in addition to the
Underlying Funds and other securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants request that the relief apply to all existing and
future series of the Trusts and all other registered open-end
management investment companies and their series registered under
the Act that are in the same group of investment companies, as
defined in section 12(d)(1)(G) of the Act, as the Trusts (included
in the term ``Funds''). All Funds that currently intend to rely on
the order have been named as applicants. Any other existing or
future entity that relies on the order in the future will do so only
in accordance with the terms and conditions in the application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. SIMNA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Schroders plc, a publicly-
owned holding company organized under the laws of England. SIMNA Ltd.
is an affiliate of SIMNA. SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. are both registered as
investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and serve
as investment advisers to the Funds. SFA, also an affiliate of SIMNA
and registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 Act (``Exchange Act''), provides all distribution and marketing
services for the Trusts and serves as administrator to Schroder North
American Equity Fund.

Applicants' Legal Analysis

    1. Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Act provides that no registered
investment company (``acquiring company'') may acquire securities of
another investment company (``acquired company'') if such securities
represent more than 3% of the acquired company's outstanding voting
stock or more than 5% of the acquiring company's total assets, or if
such securities, together with the securities of other investment
companies, represent more than 10% of the acquiring company's total
assets. Section 12(d)(1)(B) of the Act provides that no registered
open-end investment company may sell its securities to another
investment company if the sale will cause the acquiring company to own
more than 3% of the acquired company's voting stock, or cause more than
10% of the acquired company's voting stock to be owned by investment
companies.
    2. Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the Act provides that section 12(d)(1)
will not apply to securities of an acquired company purchased by an
acquiring company if: (i) The acquiring company and acquired company
are part of the same group of investment companies; (ii) the acquiring
company holds only securities of acquired companies that are part of
the same group of investment companies, government securities, and
short-term paper; (iii) the aggregate sales loads and distribution-
related fees of the acquiring company and the acquired company are not
excessive under rules adopted pursuant to section 22(b) or section
22(c) of the Act by a securities association registered under section
15A of the Exchange Act or by the Commission; and (iv) the acquired
company has a policy that prohibits it from acquiring securities of
registered open-end management investment companies or registered unit
investment trusts in reliance on section 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the Act.
    3. Rule 12d1-2 under the Act permits a registered open-end
investment company or a registered unit investment trust that relies on
section 12(d)(1)(G) of the Act to acquire, in addition to securities
issued by another registered investment company in the same group of
investment companies, government securities, and short-term paper: (1)
Securities issued by an investment company that is not in the same
group of investment companies, when the acquisition is in reliance on
section 12(d)(1)(A) or 12(d)(1)(F) of the Act; (2) securities (other
than securities issued by an investment company); and (3) securities
issued by a money market fund, when the investment is in reliance on
rule 12d1-1 under the Act. For the purposes of rule 12d1-2,
``securities'' means any security as defined in section 2(a)(36) of the
Act.
    4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction from any provision of the Act, or
from any rule under the Act, if such exemption is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the protection
of investors and the purposes fairly intended by the policies and
provisions of the Act.
    5. Applicants state that the proposed arrangement would comply with
the provisions of rule 12d1-2 under the Act, but for the fact that the
Funds may invest a portion of their assets in Other Investments.
Applicants request an order under section 6(c) of the Act for an
exemption from rule 12d1-2(a) to allow the Funds to invest in Other
Investments. Applicants assert that permitting the Funds to invest in
Other Investments as described in the application would not raise any
of the concerns that the requirements of section 12(d)(1) were designed
to address.

Applicants' Conditions

    Applicants agree that the order granting the requested relief will
be subject to the following conditions:
    1. In connection with its approval of any investment advisory
agreement under section 15 of the Act, the Board of the appropriate
Fund, including a majority of the trustees who are not ``interested
persons'' as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Act, will find that the
advisory fees, if any, charged under the agreement are based on
services provided that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of,
services provided pursuant to any Underlying Fund's advisory agreement.
Such finding, and the basis upon which the finding is made, will be
recorded fully in the minute books of the appropriate Fund.
    2. Applicants will comply with all provisions of rule 12d1-2 under
the Act, except for paragraph (a)(2), to the extent that it restricts
any Fund from investing in Other Investments as described in the
application.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.

Deputy Secretary.

Factors Influencing Estimate of Energy Security Premium for Heavy-Duty Phase II Proposed Rule
                             Paul Leiby, 11/1/2014
                         Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The energy security premium for the 2014 HD Rule (Phase II) was estimated based on the displacement of U.S. oil imports, following the same methodology used in the 2012 Light Duty Rule, and utilizing data on projected oil market conditions from the 2014 Annual Energy Outlook (Early Release) from U.S. EIA.

The results in Table 1 show lower overall security premium levels, and particularly lower estimates of the "monopsony component," or import demand component of the premium, over the nearer-term (2015-2025).  If oil prices and imports conform to the AEO2014 projections, the monopsony premium component over the next decade will be between half and two-thirds of the level estimated in 2012.  The disruption component of the premium is also lower than was estimated in 2012, although to a lesser degree.

This note presents some of the factors that cause the estimated energy security premium associated with oil import reduction to be lower than it was two years ago.  While certain factors and projected oil market conditions lead to reduced premium estimates, other risk and cost-related drivers remain.  So the oil import premium is still significant in magnitude.

   * Lower oil prices and imports reduce import costs and monopsony premium
         o The principal changes in the AEO projections since 2012 are a general downward revision in world oil price projections in the near term (e.g. 19% in 2020) and a sharp reduction in projected U.S. oil imports in the near term, due to increased U.S. supply (i.e. a 41% reduction in imports by 2017, 36% reduction in 2020) (See Table 2).  Over the longer term the import share is projected to gradually increase after 2020 but still remain 27% below the AEO2012 level in 2035.
         o These changes in oil price and import levels have the most profound effect on the monopsony portion of premium, that is the estimated portion of the security premium related to the change in total import cost that is achieved by a marginal reduction in imports.  Since both the price level for imports, and the quantity of imports are lower, the monopsony premium component is 46% - 57% lower over the years 2017-2025.
   * Diminished influence of marginal (per barrel) U.S. import demand on world price, slightly more elastic world supply
         o The U.S. demand on the global oil market is projected to decline, suggesting diminished overall influence and some reduction in marginal influence on world oil price.  More importantly, projected OPEC supply remains roughly steady as a share of world oil supply compared to the AEO2012. OPEC's share of world oil supply outside of the U.S. actually increases slightly.  Since OPEC supply is estimated to be more price-elastic than non-OPEC supply, this means that under AEO2014 the elasticity of world oil supply to the U.S. is slightly greater.  Together, these factors mean that marginal U.S. oil imports displacement has a somewhat smaller estimated effect on long-run world oil price than it did in the 2012 estimates.  For example, in 2020 the long-run price declines by $1.33/BBL for every 1 MMB reduction in imports under AEO2014 compared to $1.66/bbl under AEO2012 (2012$).
   * Macroeconomic sensitivity to oil to oil price shocks is assumed to be similar to the case in 2012, since U.S. oil consumption levels and the value share of oil in the U.S. economy remain at high levels under AEO2014
         o The level of U.S. oil demand under AEO2014 is essentially unchanged from AEO2012 through 2020, and only 3% lower by 2025.  Demand is projected to be 8% lower by 2035 under AEO2014 than AEO2012. The estimated impact of a given price shock on the U.S. economy is not assumed to change significantly with the level of imports.  It is expected to be more closely related to the importance of oil use in the U.S. economy, measured either by oil consumption levels or the value share of oil use in the U.S. economy.  Figure XX below shows that under AEO2014 projected U.S. real annual oil expenditures continue to rise after 2015, to over $800 billion (2012$) by 2030.  The value share of oil use in the U.S. economy remains between 3% and 4%, well above the levels observed from 1985 to 2005.
   * Macro disruption component is moderately lower due to lower GDP, moderately lower oil prices and slightly smaller price increases during prospective shocks.
         o Under AEO2014, projected real GDP is very slightly lower than under AEO2012.  But price levels are  19% to 5% lower over the 2020-2035 period, and shock price increases are somewhat smaller given small changes in the average world net elasticity of oil supply.  This leads to disruption component estimates for the oil security premium that are 19% to 2% lower over the same period.
   * However, disruption costs are not reduced greatly since disruption risks are little-changed (the probability of global supply interruptions is assumed unchanged in these estimates, and the supply share from OPEC is little-changed under AEO2014).
   * Most of these effects that decrease the security premium estimate are stronger over the next decade, and diminish after 2025.

Notes:
Evolving historical and projected oil market conditions influence the premium estimate.  Note that all these parameters are positively related to the size of the import premium, to varying degrees.  (Price is in $/bbl; imports, demand and supply are in millions of bbl/day; and GDP is in $billion per annum.)

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision
Approval, Georgia Department of Environmental Protection

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) approval of the Georgia Department of Environmental Protection
(GDEP) request to revise/modify certain of its EPA-authorized programs
to allow electronic reporting.

DATES: EPA approves the authorized program revisions/modifications as
of April 6, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shirley M. Miller, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Information Management, Mail Stop 2824T,
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20460,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR.
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving,
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option
of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On March 21, 2022, the Georgia Department of Environmental
Protection (GDEP) submitted an application titled Georgia Department of
Environmental Protection Combined Air Emission Reporting System (CAERS)
for revisions/modifications to its EPA-approved programs under title 40
CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed GDEP's request to
revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this review,
EPA determined that the application met the standards for approval of
authorized program revisions/modifications set out in 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's
decision to approve GDEP's request to revise/modify its

following EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic reporting under
40 CFR is being published in the Federal Register:

Part 52: Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans (SIP/Clean
Air Act Title II) Reporting under CFR 50-52

    GDEP was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
