Critical Path Innovation Meetings; Draft Guidance for Industry;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Critical Path
Innovation Meetings.'' This draft guidance describes a Critical Path
Innovation Meeting (CPIM), a means by which FDA's Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) and investigators

from industry, academia, government, and patient advocacy groups can
communicate to improve efficiency and success in drug development. The
goals of the CPIM are to discuss a methodology or technology proposed
by the meeting requester and for CDER to provide general advice on how
this methodology or technology might enhance drug development. The
discussions and background information submitted through the CPIM are
nonbinding on both FDA and CPIM requesters.

DATES: Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR
10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that the Agency considers your comment on this
draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the
guidance, submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by December 8, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of this guidance
to the Division of Drug Information, Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg.
51, Rm. 2201, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send one self-addressed
adhesive label to assist that office in processing your requests. See
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for electronic access to the
guidance document.
    Submit electronic comments on the guidance to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Critical Path Innovation Meetings.'' The draft guidance
describes the purpose and scope of a CPIM and how to request such a
meeting. A CPIM provides the opportunity to discuss a methodology or
technology proposed by the meeting requester and for CDER to provide
general advice on how the methodology or technology might enhance drug
development. During a CPIM, CDER will identify some of the larger gaps
in existing knowledge that requesters might consider addressing in the
course of their work. The discussions and background information
submitted through the CPIM are nonbinding on both FDA and CPIM
requesters. The CPIM initiative meets Prescription Drug User Fee Act
(PDUFA) V Reauthorization Goal IX.A, ``Enhancing Regulatory Science and
Expediting Drug Development'' by ``Promoting Innovation Through
Enhanced Communication Between FDA and Sponsors During Drug
Development.''
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on CPIMs. It
does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not
operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used
if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collection of information in 21 CFR part 312
(investigational new drug applications) has been approved under OMB
control number 0910-0014. The collection of information in 21 CFR part
314 (new drug applications) has been approved under OMB control number
0910-0001. The collection of information resulting from formal meetings
between interested persons and FDA has been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0429.

III. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will

Revisions to Consolidated Federal Air Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to revise the General Provisions for
Consolidated Federal Air Rule. On May 16, 2007, we published a final
rule that revised the General Provisions for Standards of Performance
for New Stationary Sources, for National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants, and for National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories to allow extensions to
the deadline imposed for source owners and operators to conduct initial
or other required performance tests in certain specified force majeure
circumstances. We recently realized that we should have also revised
the Consolidated Federal Air Rule to allow similar extensions.

DATES: Written comments must be received by September 26, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2007-0429 by mail to Revisions to Consolidated Federal Air Rule,
Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460. Please include a total of two copies.
Comments may also be submitted electronically or through hand delivery/
courier by following the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section
of the direct final rule located in the rules section of this Federal
Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lula Melton, Air Quality
Assessment Division (C304-02), Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina 27711; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why Is EPA Issuing This Proposed Rule?

    This document proposes to take action on Revisions to the
Consolidated Federal Air Rule. We have published a direct final rule to
revise the Consolidated Federal Air Rule to allow extensions to the
deadline imposed for source owners and operators to conduct performance
tests in certain specified force majeure circumstances in the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register. These revisions
would mirror those contained in a May 16, 2007 final rule revising the
General Provisions for Standards of Performance for New Stationary
Sources, for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants,
and for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Source Categories to allow extensions to the deadline imposed for
source owners and operators to conduct initial or other required
performance tests in certain specified force majeure circumstances. We
recently realized that we should have also revised the Consolidated
Federal Air Rule for the same reasons. We view this as a non-
controversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct
final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw
the direct final rule, and it will not take effect. We would address
all public comments in any subsequent final rule base on this proposed
rule. We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
    The regulatory text for the proposal is identical to that for the
direct final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register. For further supplementary information, the
detailed rationale for the proposal and the regulatory revisions, see
the direct final rule published in a separate part of this Federal
Register.

II. Does This Action Apply to Me?

    This action applies to any owner or operator of a source required
to conduct performance testing to demonstrate compliance with
applicable standards under the General Provisions for Consolidated
Federal Air Rule.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Reviews

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735 October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under the EO.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements in this proposed rule have
been submitted for approval to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. The
Information Collection Request (ICR) document prepared by EPA has been
assigned EPA ICR No. xxxx.
    The proposed rule would require a written notification only if a
plant owner or operator needs an extension of a performance test
deadline due to certain rare events, such as acts of nature, acts of
war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond the
control of the affected facility. Since EPA believes such events will
be rare, the projected cost and hour burden will be minimal.
    The increased annual average reporting burden for this collection
(averaged over the first 3 years of the ICR) is estimated to total 6
labor hours per year at a cost of $377.52. This includes one response
per year from six respondents for an average of 1 hour per response. No
capital/startup costs or operation and maintenance costs are associated
with the proposed reporting requirements. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to
respond to, a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice
and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure
Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit
enterprises, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's proposed rule on
small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as
defined by the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13
CFR 121.201; (2) a governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a
city, county, town, school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Extensions
to deadlines for conducting performance tests will provide flexibility
to small entities and reduce the burden on them by providing them an
opportunity for additional time to comply with performance test
deadlines during force majeure events. Furthermore, we expect force
majeure events to be rare since these events include circumstances such
as acts of nature, acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or
safety hazard beyond the control of the affected facility.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and Tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, Local, and Tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including Tribal governments, it must have developed,
under section 203 of the UMRA, a small government agency plan. The plan
must provide for notifying potentially affected small governments,
enabling officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and
timely input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with
significant Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing,
educating, and advising small governments on compliance with the
regulatory requirements.
    EPA has determined that the proposed rule does not contain a
Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more
for State, local, and Tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the
private sector in any one year. The maximum total annual cost of this
proposed rule for any year has been estimated to be less than $435.00.
Thus, today's proposed rule is not subject to the requirements of
sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
    EPA has determined that the proposed rule contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. The proposed rule requires source owners and operators to
provide a written notification to the Agency only if an extension to a
performance test deadline is necessary due to a rare force majeure
event. Therefore, the proposed rule is not subject to the requirements
of section 203 of the UMRA.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
    This proposed rule does not have federalism implications. It will
not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government,
as specified in Executive Order 13132. The proposed rule requirements
will not supersede State regulations that are more stringent. In
addition, the proposed rule requires a written notification only if a
plant owner or operator needs an extension of a performance test
deadline due to certain rare events, such as acts of nature, acts of
war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond the
control of the affected facility. Since EPA believes that such events
will be rare, the projected cost and hour burden will be minimal. Thus,
Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' This proposed rule does not
have tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. This
proposed rule will not have substantial direct effects on tribal
governments, 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, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to
this rule.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or
safety effects of the planned rule on children and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks, such that the
analysis required under section 5-501 of the Executive Order has the
potential to influence the regulation. This proposed rule is not
subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not economically
significant as defined in Executive Order 12866 and because the Agency
does not have reason to believe that the environmental health or safety
risks addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to
children. This rule does not affect the underlying control requirements
established by the applicable standards but only the timeframe
associated with performance testing in limited circumstances.

H. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
    EPA has determined that this proposed rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
affect the level of

protection provided to human health or the environment. The rule merely
allows extensions to performance test deadlines in rare force majeure
events.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    The proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined
in Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations that
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note), directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. New
test methods are not being proposed in this rulemaking, but EPA is
allowing for extensions of the regulatory deadlines by which owners or
operators are required to conduct performance tests when a force
majeure is about to occur, occurs, or has occurred which prevents
owners or operators from testing within the regulatory deadline.
Therefore, NTTAA does not apply.

relations, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rules
Regarding Requests for Data Related to Exchange Reviews

September 18, 2012.
    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 September 4, 2012, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') 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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules regarding the furnishing
of data requested with respect to any review conducted by the Exchange.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), 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, Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules regarding the furnishing
of data

requested with respect to any review conducted by the Exchange. The
Exchange currently requests and receives certain trade data from
Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'') and TPH organizations on an ad hoc
basis, in the course of discharging its regulatory responsibilities as
a self-regulatory organization.\3\ Currently, TPHs and TPH
organizations provide such data in a variety of different manners and
formats, often piecemeal. Because the form of the submitted information
is highly variable and the manner of submission is not standard, the
Exchange's Regulatory Division expends considerable resources in re-
organizing and systematizing the information in order to perform proper
reviews and analyses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ This data, which is provided in a comma-separated values
format, currently includes, when applicable, separate data fields
for trade date, order entry time (milliseconds), cancel time
(milliseconds), execution time (milliseconds), unique ticker symbol,
side, execution price, event type, unique account identification,
user ID, order ID, broker location, quantity, locate source for
short sale, number of shares remaining after a partial execution,
and the code of the exchange to which an order was routed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As such, the Exchange proposes that, in addition to the existing
obligation under Exchange rules regarding the production of books and
records, each TPH or TPH organization shall furnish upon request, in
the manner and standard electronic format prescribed by the Exchange,
data concerning orders, transactions, and positions, including related
hedges and offsets, in relation to a regulatory review conducted by the
Exchange. This change would allow the Exchange to develop uniform
procedures and forms for the submission of this order, position and
trade data (the ``Trade Data''). The existence of a standard format for
the submission of Trade Data would allow the TPHs to better prepare for
regulatory responses and would allow the Exchange regulatory staff to
review and analyze Trade Data in a vastly more efficient and organized
manner which in turn will expedite such review and analysis. The
Exchange proposes to publish by circular the layout of Trade Data that
may be included in any particular request such that the TPHs can
understand the specific information to be submitted in response to each
request. For example, a particular request may require submission of
the entire data layout or may be limited to only certain components of
the layout.
    The Exchange will not enforce compliance with this proposed rule
change until the Exchange has announced an implementation plan. The
Exchange expects to announce such implementation plan via a Regulatory
Circular during the fourth calendar quarter of 2012. The implementation
plan will include a subsequent compliance date. The intervening period
between the announcement of the implementation plan and the compliance
date will allow TPHs time to prepare to comply.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act \4\ and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in
particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\5\
Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \6\ requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove
impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest. The existence of a uniform and standard format for
the submission of Trade Data and other such information requested with
respect to any review will remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system, and
in general, protect investors and the public interest by removing
confusion regarding the submission of such information, and by making
the review of such information a more efficient and effective process.

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

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

    CBOE 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
proposed rule change.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.
