 Improving Tomorrow's Environment Today

Ms. Lynn Zipf USEPA, Office of Water 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW 4303T Washington, DC 20460 Re: Additional Industry Discharge Information Dear Ms. Zipf:

We would like EPA to consider the following information as it moves ahead in its detailed study of the pulp and paper point source sector. This information supports our previous correspondence and discussion seriously questioning the validity of the PCS or TRI data showing discharges of dioxin from industry mills.

Pursuant to state law, bleached kraft mills in Maine have undertaken comprehensive effluent and fish tissue testing for several years. As stated in the law,

The key requirement is that ` a ( bleach kraft pulp) mill may not discharge dioxin into its receiving waters after December 31, 2002. To determine compliance, there are interim tests and a final test. Two interim tests, of effluent from the bleach plant require that 1) TCDD ( 2378 tetrachlorodibenzo p dioxin, the most toxic of the 17 toxic dioxins and furans) must be below 10 ppq, parts per quadrillion or picograms per gram, pg/ g by July 31, 1998 and 2) TCDF ( 2378 tetrachlorodibenzofuran) must be below the same detection limit by December 31, 1999. As the final test to confirm that there is no discharge, by December 31, 2002 fish ( or surrogate) below a bleached kraft pulp mill must have no more dioxin than fish ( or surrogate) above the mill, the so called " above/ below ( A/ B) fish test". 1 Thus, Maine bleached kraft mills are subject to extremely rigorous dioxin requirements. They must demonstrate that both dioxin and furan are below the 10 ppq minimum level in bleach plant effluent and they must pass the " above/ below" fish tissue test. As demonstrated by the data in the report, the mills have been in compliance with the first requirement for bleach plant effluent for some time. Much of even the early data showed no dioxin or furan at levels well below 10 ppq. The Report now shows that the mills have met the second requirement for fish tissue as well.

1 See page 10 of the attached report, " Dioxin Monitoring Program, Final Report, Maine Department of Environmental Protection, April 2005," found on the Maine DEP website at http:// mainegovimages informe. org/ dep/ blwq/ docmonitoring/ dioxin/ 2004/ 04dmprpt. pdf AMERICAN FOREST & PAPER ASSOCIATION GROWING WITH AMERICA SINCE 1861 Ms. Lynn Zipf May 2, 2005 Page 2 of 2 The Commissioner of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection ( DEP) announced the results by stating, " The results are now in and here is the good news. All kraft pulp mills have demonstrated compliance with the Above/ Below test this year." The DEP announcement of the results also noted, " This means that the mills are no longer discharging dioxins into Maine's environment."

The mills have undertaken the above/ below testing for several years. Some mills had already demonstrated compliance before this year's results. Moreover, the general trend over time has been that the fish tissue levels of dioxin below the mills were declining, which is consistent with the effluent results. While there are still some elevated fish tissue levels, the DEP correctly attributes that to " residual levels of contamination from historical discharges." However, even these levels of dioxins and furans are below the current state fish tissue action level of 1.5 parts per trillion ( ppt) and most, if not all, are below a possible future level of 0.4 ppt.

Thank you for you consideration of this information, which supports our position that revision of the effluent guidelines for the pulp and paper point source sector is not warranted. Please feel free to contact me at ( 202) 463 2581, if you have any questions about this information.

Sincerely,

Jerry Schwartz Senior Director, Water Quality Programs Enclosures

hold one at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal
Register.

Background and Purpose

    Between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on June 30, 2012, a large scale swimming
event will take place on Presque Isle Bay near Erie, PA. The Captain of
the Port Buffalo has determined that this large scale swimming event
across a navigable waterway will pose significant risks to participants
and the boating public.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    With the aforementioned risks in mind, the Captain of the Port
Buffalo has determined that this proposed temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of participants and the boating public
during the Bay Swim V event.
    The proposed safety zone will be effective and enforced from 8:30
a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on June 30, 2012.
    The proposed safety zone will encompass all waters of Presque Isle
Bay, Erie, PA starting from Vista 3 in Presque Isle State Park at
position 42[deg]07'29.30'' N, 80[deg]08'48.82'' W and extend in a
straight line 1,000 feet wide to the Erie Yacht Club at position
42[deg]07'21.74'' N, 80[deg]07'58.30'' W (DATUM: NAD 83).
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port Buffalo or the designated on scene
patrol personnel. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the
proposed safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene representative. The Captain
of the Port Buffalo or his designated on-scene representative may be
contacted via VHF Channel 16.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and 13563,
Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, direct agencies to assess
the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and
benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We conclude that this proposed rule is not a significant regulatory
action because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the
economy, will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely
alter the budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise
any novel legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this
proposed rule will be relatively small and enforced for relatively
short time. Also, the safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on
navigable waters. Furthermore, the safety zone has been designed to
allow vessels to transit around it. Thus, restrictions on vessel
movement within that particular area are expected to be minimal. Under
certain conditions, moreover, vessels may still transit through the
safety zone

when permitted by the Captain of the Port Buffalo.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
    This proposed rule may affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners of operators of vessels intending
to transit or anchor in a portion of Presque Isle Bay near Erie, PA
between 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on June 30, 2012.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because this proposed rule would
be in effect for only approximately three hours. Also, in the event
that this temporary safety zone affects shipping, commercial vessels
may request permission from the Captain of the Port Buffalo to transit
through the safety zone. Additionally, the Coast Guard will give
advanced notice to the public via a local Broadcast Notice to Mariners
that the regulation is in effect. Moreover, the Captain of the Port
Buffalo will suspend enforcement of the safety zone if the event for
which the zone is established ends earlier than the expected time.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If this
proposed rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact LT Christopher
Mercurio, Chief of Waterway Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Buffalo; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Coast Guard will not retaliate
against small entities that question or complain about this proposed
rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not affect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
might disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination

that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This proposed rule is categorically excluded, under figure
2-1, paragraph (34) (g), of the Instruction because it involves the
establishment of a safety zone.
    A preliminary environmental analysis checklist and categorical
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65800; File No. SR-C2-2011-035]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Related to a Temporary Quote Risk Monitor
Mechanism Rule

November 21, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on November 18, 2011, the C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Exchange has designated the proposal as a ``non-
controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt Rule 8.12A Pilot Quote Risk Monitor
Mechanism. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.c2exchange.com/Legal/RuleFilings.aspx),
at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary and at the Commission.

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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On November 7, 2011, the Exchange filed to adopt a Quote Risk
Monitor (QRM) rule.\5\ That rule change was immediately effective upon
filing, but will not be operative until December 7, 2011. C2 submitted
the filing to codify C2's QRM functionality which has been available
and in use on C2 since C2 commenced trading listed options.\6\ On
November 17, 2011 C2 announced that it would be deactivating the QRM
functionality until December 7, 2011 when the new rule becomes
operational.\7\ The anticipated deactivation has caused considerable
concern among C2 Market-Makers, and some have taken steps to cease
acting as C2 Market-Makers. Out of concern that a decrease in quoters
and a decrease in quote quality will have an adverse effect on the C2
market, this filing proposes to adopt a temporary C2 QRM rule that
would be immediately effective and operative until December 7, 2011
when the above-referenced QRM rule will become operative.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65744 (November 14,
2011) (SR-C2-2011-034).
    \6\ The Exchange inadvertently did not include a QRM rule in its
initial rulebook and did not realize the omission until very
recently.
    \7\ See C2 Regulatory Circular RG11-035.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    C2 Rules require Market-Makers to maintain continuous electronic
quotes.\8\ To comply with this requirement, each Market-Maker can
employ its own proprietary quotation and risk management systems to
determine the prices and sizes at which it quotes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See C2 Rule 8.5(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Market-Maker's risk in an options class is not limited to the
risk in a single series of that class. Rather, a Market-Maker typically
is active in quoting in multiple option classes, and each such option
class can comprise dozens of individual option series. On C2, trades
are automatically effected against a Market-Maker's then current quote.
As a result, a Market-Maker faces exposure in all series of a class,
requiring that the Market-Maker off-set or otherwise hedge its overall
position in a class. The QRM functionality helps Market-Makers limit
this overall exposure and risk. Specifically, the functionality permits
a Market-Maker to establish parameters in the system to cancel its
electronic quotes in all series of an option class until the Market-
Maker refreshes those electronic quotes.
    Under proposed Rule 8.12A, each Market-Maker that elects to use the
functionality would be required to specify two parameters that the QRM
Mechanism would use to determine when that Market-Maker's quotes should
be cancelled. In particular, each Market-Maker is required to specify a
maximum number of contracts for each option class (the ``Contract
Limit'') and a rolling time period in seconds during which such
Contract Limit is to be measured (the ``Measurement Interval'').
    When the QRM Mechanism determines that the Market-Maker has traded
more than the Contract Limit for any option class during any rolling
Measurement Interval, the QRM Mechanism automatically cancels all of
the Market-Maker's quotes in any series of that option class. By
limiting its exposure across series, a Market-Maker is better able to
quote aggressively in an option, knowing that the QRM

Mechanism will automatically cancel all its quotations in a class when
its exposure limit is hit.
    The Exchange notes that the proposed rule would not relieve a
Market-Maker of its obligations to provide continuous electronic quotes
under the Exchange rules \9\ nor to provide ``firm'' quotes pursuant to
the requirements of Exchange Rule 8.6. The Exchange also notes that the
proposed rule is based on Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'') Rule 8.18 (Quote Risk Monitor Mechanism).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See C2 Rule 8.5(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'')
for this proposed rule change is the requirement under Section 6(b)(5)
\10\ that an exchange have rules that are designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system,
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In
particular, the Exchange believes the proposed change is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, and to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and
national market system because the rule change would provide a
mechanism that would allow C2 Market-Makers to more effectively and
efficiently manage their quotations. Knowing that a helpful quote
management tool is in place would, in turn, allow those Market-Makers
to quote more aggressively which removes impediments to a free and open
market and benefits all C2 users.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose 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
proposal.

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

    Because the proposed rule change: (i) Does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not
impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). Pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
under the Act, the Exchange is required to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
C2 has requested that the Commission waive the five-day pre-filing
notice requirement in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii). The Commission has
determined to waive the five day pre-filing notice requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \13\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Waiver of the operative delay will allow market makers to continue to
use the QRM to manage risk associated with providing continuous quotes
across a multitude of series and classes and thereby avoid a
potentially adverse effect on the C2 market. For these reasons, the
Commission designates that the proposed rule change become operative
immediately upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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