SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the Chemical Review Manager identified in the Table in Unit IV.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed comprehensive draft human health and/or
ecological risk assessments for all pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. After reviewing comments received during the public comment
period, EPA may issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to
the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments and may request
public input on risk mitigation before completing a proposed
registration review decision for the pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide's
registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health and the environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's human health and/or ecological risk assessments for the
pesticides shown in Table 1 and opens a 60-day public comment period on
the risk assessments.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and
CL-604 Variants) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of
airspeed mismatch between the pilot and co-pilot's airspeed indicators,
which occurred during or after heavy rain. This proposed AD would
require, for certain airplanes, inspecting for drain bottles having
certain part numbers, and replacing affected drain bottles. This
proposed AD would require, for certain other airplanes, replacing drain
bottles. We are proposing this AD to prevent pitot static tubing from
becoming blocked by water, which if not corrected, could lead to
erroneous airspeed and altitude indications, and consequent loss of
control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 3, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation, which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2012-30,
dated December 7, 2012 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

A number of reports were received from the operators indicating
airspeed mismatch between the pilot and co-pilot's airspeed
indicators. The erroneous indication occurred during or after heavy
rain. Further investigation revealed that during heavy
precipitation, the pitot static tubing may become partially or
completely blocked by the water which didn't enter the drain
bottle(s). This condition, if not corrected, may result in erroneous
airspeed and altitude indications [and consequent loss of control of
the airplane].

This [Canadian] AD mandates [for certain airplanes] the replacement
of the drain bottles to improve drainage of the pitot-static tubing
[and, for certain other airplanes, an inspection for, and
replacement of, certain drain bottles].

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued the following service bulletins. The
actions described in this service information are intended to correct
the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 601-0617, Revision 03, dated
December 20, 2012.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-34-065, Revision 02, dated
December 20, 2012.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-34-027, Revision 02, dated
December 20, 2012.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 77 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 5 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost up to $2,939 per

product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $259,028, or $3,364 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

1 Supporting Statement 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION ( a) Oral and Written Purchase Orders, EPA ICR No. 1037.06, OMB Control no. 2030 0007. The current ICR expires March 31, 2000. A three year extension is being requested.

( b) When orally soliciting vendors for potential placement of a purchase order, using simplified acquisition procedures, an EPA purchasing agent contacts vendors by phone and requests information concerning their small business status ( whether or not the firm is a small business in accordance with the standards set forth by law), unit prices of the items they offer, point of delivery and delivery time. If the purchasing agent does not already know, he/ she will ask for the vendor's address and a point of contact. Vendors provide their responses to the information collection verbally by telephone. The purchasing agent records the information received by hand or by typing on EPA Form 1900 8 or 1900 13. EPA Form 1900 8, when signed by the contracting officer, becomes a record of the purchase order. The information concerning the successful offeror recorded on EPA Form 1900 13 must be transferred to Optional Form 347 and signed by the contracting officer for an official purchase order record.

Information for written quotations is requested, usually by mail, from vendors on Standard Form 18, Request for Quotations. Standard Form 18 is used in accordance with 48 CFR 52.215.1( a), as prescribed by the General Services Administration ( GSA). Vendors complete the form and mail it back to the purchasing agent. The successful offeror's information is transferred to Optional Form 347, Order for Supplies and Services, which is used in accordance with 48 CFR 52.213( e), as prescribed by GSA. In accordance with 5 CFR Part 1320.16 ( a)( 2), GSA is the agency responsible for submitting burden estimates on these forms. ( Copies of the forms are attached.)

While copy 2 of EPA Form 1900 8 can be used as a purchase order for supplies or services, not all orders awarded by EPA are recorded on this form. Optional Form 347, addressed above, is the more frequently used form. Form 1900 8 is used primarily for internal Agency procurement requests. Vendors do not see EPA Form 1900 8 unless it is used to confirm the purchase order award. When the form is used to record a purchase order award, the information provided by the vendor is filled in by the purchasing agent and copy 2 of the form is provided to the vendor.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE INFORMATION ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection:

FAR Subpart 13.307 describes the types of forms which may be used for simplified acquisitions. 2 ( b) Use/ Users of the Data:

Data collected for oral orders will be used to award a purchase order using simplified acquisition procedures. EPA financial offices will use the data as a basis for the payment of invoices submitted by the vendor.

3. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION RECEIVED ( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes Respondents are businesses, both profit and non profit. They represent a wide variety of SIC codes depending on the Agency's requirements. Typically this includes, but is not limited to, 2678, Stationary Products, 3671, Computers, and 3579 Office Machines.

( b) Information Requested ( I) Respondents are asked to provide the price of their products, small business status, point of delivery, delivery time, company address, and point of contact.

( ii) In order to provide this information, respondents must have a company price list available, or other method of providing a firm price to the purchasing agent. Developing, recording and maintaining a price list is a customary business practice. The following activities are performed in responding to EPA's request for a quote:

 listen to questions set forth by purchasing agent  research for specific prices  provide prices, orally, to purchasing agent 4. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED  AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ( a) Purchasing agents call to request information from the vendor and record this information on either EPA Form 1900 8 or 1900 13. After the contracting officer has approved award of the purchase order, he/ she may sign EPA Form 1900 8 as the award document or the information may be transferred to Optional Form 347 to be used as the award document. One copy of the award document will be retained in the purchasing office. Other copies will be distributed to the paying office and to the vendor.

( b) When the Agency uses oral solicitation procedures, the vendor does not actually complete any forms. Instead, he/ she provides information orally to the purchasing agent who records it.

( c) SMALL ENTITY FLEXIBILITY: Separate or further simplified requirements for 3 small entities are not practical, because the stated objectives cannot be met under such alternatives. All responses are voluntary, and the information collection is only the minimum necessary to ensure that the respondent has the potential capability and desire to supply the Agency with goods or services. Because this information is required, alternate collection procedures for small businesses cannot be developed.

( d) This information is collected on an " As Needed" basis when there is an Agency requirement for a certain product or service.

5. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA ( a) Nonduplication Optional Form 347 contains the same information required in the purchase order section of EPA Form 1900 8. However, FAR 13.307 permits agencies to develop their own purchase order forms. EPA does not use the Optional Form 347 if the EPA Form 1900 8 is used.

( b) Consultations For the renewal of this ICR, the following vendors were contacted to discuss collection activities:

Name Affiliation Phone Mr. Walt Baker Canon, USA ( 703) 642 8050 Mr. W. G. McCone Dell Computers ( 512) 343 3747 Ms. Margie Scovil Falcon Microsystems ( 301) 341 0149 Mr. Steve Tyndall 800 Software ( 415) 644 4872 Ms. Pat Litton Lefranc ( 301) 499 3893 The majority of vendor estimates for the time it took to research a response to a request for an oral quotation was 15 minutes. All individuals consulted felt that the information collected was reasonable and not burdensome. Because there has been no change to the form or the procedure, the estimate of time for completion is unchanged.

( c) Effect of Less Frequent Collection Responses are only required on a voluntary basis when an Agency need for a product or service arises.

( d) General Guidelines EPA Forms 1900 8 and 1900 13 adhere to all Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) guidelines for information collection. 4 ( e) Confidentiality and Sensitive Questions Vendor responses become a part of the purchase order documentation and are not considered confidential. No sensitive information is required.

( f) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB: The Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8( d), soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on June 30, 1999, 64 FR 35150. No comments were received.

6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF COLLECTION ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden ( I) Labor costs Collection Activity Minutes Cost 1. Listen to purchasing agent's request 5 $ 1.30 2. Research response 5 1.30 3. Provide response to purchasing agent 5 1.30 TOTAL 15 $ 3.90 TOTAL BURDEN: $ 3.90 per response x 37,492 responses = $ 146,219. TOTAL BURDEN HOURS: 15 minutes per response x 37,492 responses = 9373 hours.

Hours to complete response are based on established times provided by the firms consulted in section 5. Vendors are not required to type, sign, or mail anything, as is the case with written requests for quotation. An average salary for vendor / salesperson is estimated to be $ 15.57 an hour. This is based on the rate used in the previous clearance multiplied by a factor of 3% per year to reflect wage increases since 1996. The total number of responses is derived from doubling the total number of purchase orders issued by the Agency in the preceding 12 month period. Because each award is generally preceded by 1 2 solicitations, depending upon dollar value, an average of two information collections per award was estimated.

( ii) Capital/ Start up Costs Because it will not be necessary for respondents to acquire any capital goods to provide the requested information, EPA estimated no incurred capital/ start up costs. 5 ( iii) Operating and Maintenance Costs Operating and maintenance costs, which include such items as file storage, photocopying, and postage, are negligible.

( b) Estimating Government Burden ( I) Labor Costs Collection Activity Minutes Cost 1. Request response from vendor 5 .97 2. Fill in response on form 15 2.90 3. Review/ signature 5 1.34 4. Distribute/ file 5 .97 TOTAL 30 6.18 TOTAL BURDEN: $ 6.18 per response x 37,492 responses = $ 231,700. TOTAL BURDEN HOURS: 30 minutes per response x 37,492 responses = 18,746 hours.

Burden estimates are based on current use of the form. A purchasing agent, GS 04, completes steps 1, 2, and 4. The hourly rate for a purchasing agent was calculated using the Office of Personal Management's hourly salary table for general schedule employees for 1999. The median hourly rate for a GS 04 ($ 9.99) was multiplied by a factor of 1.16 for benefits to yield a rate of $ 11.59. A contracting officer completes step 3 above, review and signature of the form. To determine the hourly rate, the median hourly rate for a GS 07 ($ 13.85) was multiplied by the benefits factor for an hourly rate of $ 16.07. The total number of responses is derived from doubling the total number of purchase orders issued by the Agency in the preceding 12 month period. Because each award is generally preceded by 1 2 solicitations, depending upon dollar value, an average of two information collections per award was estimated.

( c) Reasons for Changes in Burden The number of purchase orders issued per year has remained fairly constant over the past three years. However, the value of purchase orders placed has increased as almost all of the agency's micropurchases ( less that $ 2500) are now accomplished via Government purchase cards. Many of our purchase orders are over $ 25,000 in value, and therefore require solicitation of multiple sources. For this reason, the average factor of two information collections per purchase order was utilized to estimate the burden, vice the total purchase order number utilized in the 6 previous request for clearance. Additionally, vendor and Government salary increases account for changes in burden estimates since last review.

7. BURDEN STATEMENT Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response which includes the time for reviewing the request, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the information requested, and responding. Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( 2822), 401 M St., S. W., Washington, D. C. 20460; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for EPA. Include the EPA ICR number and OMB control number in any correspondence.

Burden time 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, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; to train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search the data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to 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 number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9, and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

is hereby given that on December 8, 2014, NYSE MKT LLC (``NYSE MKT'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons. The Exchange has

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE MKT Rule 342--Equities (``Rule
342'') to remove the three years' experience requirement for
supervisory personnel and to add supplementary material to NYSE MKT
Rule 3110--Equities (``Rule 3110'') stating that supervisors must
reasonably discharge their supervisory duties and obligations. The text
of 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 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 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 Rule 342 to remove the three years'
experience requirement for supervisory personnel. The Exchange also
proposes to add supplementary material to Rule 3110 to further clarify
that supervisors must reasonably discharge their supervisory duties and
obligations.
Rule 342 (Compliance Supervisors)
    As part of the Exchange's efforts to harmonize its rules concerning
supervision with those of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(``FINRA''), the Exchange recently amended Rule 342 by deleting
elements of the rule relating to general supervision and focusing the
rule on requirements regarding qualifications and exam requirements for
individuals with supervisory responsibilities.\3\ As part of those
amendments, the Exchange incorporated the following requirements for
supervisory personnel into Rule 342(a) contained in the Interpretation
to New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') Rule 342:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 73640 (Nov. 19, 2014), 79 FR
70237 (Nov. 25, 2014) (SR-NYSEMKT-2014-93) (``Supervision Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Every branch office or sales manager must have at least
three years' experience as a registered representative or substantial
experience in a related sales or managerial position (the new rule
provided examples of roles that would qualify as a related sales or
managerial position); and
     In order to qualify as a supervisory person, a principal
executive should have at least three years' experience as a registered
representative unless granted an exception.
    The Exchange proposes to delete these requirements from Rule 342(a)
as inconsistent with prior amendments to NYSE Rule 342 on which the
Exchange's rule is based.\4\ Specifically,

effective September 12, 2008, the NYSE amended its Rule 342 and its
related Interpretation to eliminate the prescribed three-year record
requirement for supervisory personnel and conform NYSE Rule 342.13(a)
to the standard outlined in NASD Rule 1014(a)(10)(D).\5\ In the
Supervision Filing, the Exchange inadvertently re-introduced the
standards from the formerly deleted NYSE Interpretation to its Rule
342. Because the re-introduction of the three-year experience
requirement for supervisory personnel was inadvertent and inconsistent
with the harmonization effectuated in 2008, the Exchange proposes to
delete this text from Rule 342(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange's NYSE affiliate has also submitted a proposed
rule change to amend NYSE Rule 342 to delete the requirements
incorporated from the related NYSE Interpretation that every branch
office or sales manager must have at least three years' experience
as a registered representative or substantial experience in a
related sales or managerial position and must pass the Series 9/10.
See SR-NYSE-2014-66.
    \5\ See Exchange Act Release No. 58549 (Sept. 15, 2008), 73 FR
54444 (Sept. 19, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-80).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rule 3110 (Supervision)
    In the Supervision Filing, the Exchange also adopted new Rule 3110,
which is based on FINRA Rule 3110.\6\ New Rule 3110(a) covers
supervisory systems and requires member organizations to establish and
maintain a system to supervise the activities of each associated person
that is reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable
securities laws and regulations, and with applicable Exchange rules.
Under Rule 3110, final responsibility for proper supervision rests with
the member organization. While the Exchange believes that under Rule
3110 both member organizations and individual supervisors at member
organizations may be liable for failing to reasonably discharge their
duties and obligations with supervision and control of those employees
under their supervision, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange
proposes to add Supplementary Material .16 to Rule 3110 providing that
individuals in charge of a group of employees must reasonably discharge
their duties and obligations with respect to supervision and control of
those employees related to the business of their employer and
compliance with securities laws and regulations and Exchange rules.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Supervision Filing, supra, n. 4.
    \7\ FINRA Rule 0140 provides that FINRA's rules apply to all
members and persons associated with a member, and that persons
associated with a member have the same duties and obligations as a
member under FINRA's rules. Under FINRA Rule 0140, supervisors
associated with a member are subject to the requirements of FINRA
Rule 3110. The Exchange does not have a rule comparable to FINRA
Rule 0140. The proposed amendment further clarifies that Rule 3110
applies to individual supervisors and thus promotes harmonization of
the rule with Exchange rules and FINRA rules of similar purpose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, because it
is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed
rule change supports the objectives of the Act by providing greater
harmonization between Exchange rules and FINRA rules of similar
purpose, resulting in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory
compliance. In particular, the Exchange believes that removing the
three-year experience requirement for supervisors, which was previously
deleted from NYSE Rule 342 on which the Exchange's rule is based and
inadvertently re-introduced, would remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market by eliminating a regulatory
disparity between the supervisory rules of the Exchange and FINRA,
thereby also further harmonizing those rules. Further, the Exchange
believes that adding the proposed supplementary material to Rule 3110
emphasizing that individual supervisors shall reasonably discharge
their supervisory duties and obligations would remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market because it would
reduce potential confusion and provide transparency regarding the
duties and obligations of individual supervisors under the Exchange's
harmonized supervision rules. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed rule change would update and add specificity to the
requirements governing supervision, which would promote just and
equitable principles of trade and help to protect investors.

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

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\10\ the Exchange
does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden
on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is not intended to
address competitive issues but rather to achieve greater transparency
and consistency between the Exchange's rules and FINRA's rules
concerning supervision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    A proposed rule change filed under Exchange Act Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of
the filing.\11\ However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii), the
Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest.\12\ The
Exchange believes that the proposal qualifies for immediate
effectiveness upon filing because it is a ``non-controversial'' rule
change in accordance with Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\14\ Accordingly, the Exchange has asked that
the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
becomes operative immediately upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposal is non-controversial
because it raises no novel issues and is consistent with rules
previously approved by the Commission. The Exchange states that the
purpose of the proposed rule change is to eliminate requirements in the
Exchange's rules previously deleted by the Exchange and to further
conform the Exchange's supervision rules to those of FINRA. The
Exchange believes that updating and adding transparency to the
requirements governing individual supervisors would help to protect
investors and would not significantly burden competition. More
specifically, the Exchange believes that: (1) Members of both FINRA and
the Exchange (``Dual Members'') are already subject to the requirement
that individual supervisors reasonably discharge their supervisory
duties and obligations; and (2) the proposed clarification does not
represent a new standard for Exchange-only members, who were subject to
the same standard under former Rule 342. Accordingly, the Exchange
believes that these proposed rule changes are eligible

for immediately effective treatment under the Commission's current
procedures for processing rule filings.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Exchange Act Release No. 58092 (Jul. 3, 2008), 73 FR
40144 (Jul. 11, 2008) (concerning 17 CFR 200 and 241).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that because the proposed rule change does
not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed,
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 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder. More specifically, the
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because enhanced transparency to the supervision obligations of
individual supervisors will help members improve compliance with
applicable securities laws, including rules governing sale practices.
In addition, granting the waiver would allow the Exchange to
immediately eliminate requirements in the Exchange's rules that were
mistakenly reinserted after being previously deleted. For these
reasons, the Commission designates the proposed rule change as
operative upon filing.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ For purposes of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
     In addition, the Exchange has given 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 (5) business days prior to the date of the filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. See 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend the 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) of the Act \17\ to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2003-25290]

Commercial Driver's License Standards; Isuzu Motors America,
Inc.; Exemption Renewal

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemption; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew Isuzu Motors America,
Inc.'s (Isuzu) exemption from the Agency's requirement that drivers of
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) possess a commercial driver's license
(CDL) issued in the United States. Isuzu requested that its current
exemption for 11 Japanese engineers and technicians be renewed to
enable them to continue test driving CMVs in the U.S. All 11
individuals are employees of Isuzu and hold a valid Japanese CDL. FMCSA
believes the knowledge and skills testing and training program that
Japanese drivers must undergo to obtain a Japanese CDL ensures a level
of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety
that would be obtained by complying with the U.S. requirements for a
CDL.

DATES: This decision is effective July 2, 2008. Comments must be
received on or before August 1, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315, as referenced in section 31136(e), FMCSA may
grant an exemption if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' Exemptions may be granted
for up to 2 years from the approval date and may be renewed upon
application (49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1)). The procedure for requesting an
exemption (including a renewal) is prescribed by 49 CFR part 381. FMCSA
has evaluated Isuzu's application for renewal on its merits and has
decided to grant renewal of the exemption for 11 of Isuzu's engineers
and technicians for a 2-year period.

Isuzu Application for an Exemption Renewal

    Isuzu Motors America, Inc. (Isuzu) has applied for the renewal of
an exemption from 49 CFR 383.23, which sets forth rules applicable to
drivers operating CMVs in interstate commerce. Isuzu seeks to renew its
exemption for 11 of 19 drivers previously granted this exemption on
October 16, 2003 (68 FR 59677). On June 21, 2006, the exemption was
renewed (71 FR 35725).
    Isuzu is seeking renewal of this exemption because the drivers it
employs are citizens and residents of Japan, and therefore cannot apply
for a CDL from a State of the United States. A copy of the request for
renewal is in the docket identified at the beginning of

this notice. Renewal of the exemption will enable these 11 drivers to
continue to operate CMVs as part of a team of drivers to develop,
design and/or test engines for vehicles that will be manufactured,
assembled, sold or primarily used in the United States.
    The drivers are: Shiro Fukuda, Wataru Kumakura, Takehito Yaguchi,
Tsutomu Yamazaki, Toshiya Asari, Shintaro Moroi, Masaru Otsu, Satoru
Amemiya, Tsuyoshi Koyama, Nobuyuki Miyazaki, and Hiroyoshi Takahashi.
These drivers are a team of Isuzu engineers and technicians who operate
CMVs in the United States to test and evaluate production and prototype
CMVs to be sold for use on U.S. highways. Isuzu estimates that each
driver will drive approximately 5,000 miles per year on U.S. roads. The
drivers have valid Japanese-issued CDLs and are experienced CMV
operators. Each of the drivers satisfied strict standards in order to
obtain a CDL in Japan, and each has extensive CMV training and
experience. Isuzu believes that the drivers will continue to achieve a
level of safety equivalent to the level of safety that would be
obtained absent the exemption. Isuzu states in its application for
exemption that none of these drivers received any traffic citations or
was involved in any accidents from the inception of the exemption on
October 16, 2003, through the date of this application for renewal.

Method To Ensure an Equivalent or Greater Level of Safety

    Drivers applying to obtain a Japanese-issued CDL must successfully
pass a knowledge test and a skills test before a license to operate a
CMV is issued. Prior to taking the tests, drivers are required to hold
a conventional driver's license for at least three years. Thus, the
requirements of a Japanese-issued CDL are considered comparable to, or
at least as effective as, the requirements of 49 CFR part 383. The
process of licensure in Japan assesses the driver's ability to operate
a CMV in a manner comparable to the process of licensure employed by
States of the United States. A driver granted a Japanese CDL may
legally operate any CMV permitted on the roads of Japan; there are no
limits on the type or weight of vehicles that may be operated by CMV
drivers.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) and 31136(e), FMCSA
requests public comment on Isuzu's request for renewal of the exemption
of these 11 CMV drivers from the requirements of 49 CFR 383.23. The
Agency requests that interested parties with specific data concerning
the safety record of drivers listed in this notice submit comments by
August 1, 2008. FMCSA will review all comments received by close of
business on this date. To the extent practicable, the Agency will
consider comments received in the public docket after this date.
Comments will be available for examination in the docket as described
in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRM's should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E en route domestic
airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at the
Maxwell VORTAC navigation aid, Maxwell, CA. This action would contain
aircraft while in IFR conditions under control of Oakland ARTCC by
vectoring aircraft from en route airspace to terminal areas.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6006, of
FAA Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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 this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for 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 the
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 establish controlled airspace at the Maxwell VORTAC,

Jefferson County Technical Support Documentation Summary Jefferson County has a land area of 274 square miles and is located in the Ridge and Valley region of the East Grand Division east of Knoxville along the I 81 corridor. It is contiguous to, but not part of, the Knoxville MSA. The predominate wind direction and speed is from the southwest at 7 to 10 knots.

For the 2001 2003 monitoring period, the ozone monitor 47 089 002 1, located in Jefferson County shows an 8 hour design value of 0.091 parts per million ( ppm) which would be classified as nonattainment.

Based on projections to 2002 from the 2000 census data, there are 45,801 persons living in Jefferson County. This indicates a population density of 167 persons per square mile. The population of Jefferson County is approximately 75.3% rural with the remaining 24.7% living in incorporated areas. The population is expected to increase by 13% between 2000 and 2010. Based on the 2002 population data for the entire Knoxville MSA, if Jefferson County were included, Jefferson County would represent approximately 6% of the total population.

Point source NOX emissions from Jefferson County were estimated at 0.10 ton/ day in 1999 which represents less than one percent of the 81.10 ton/ day of overall NOX point source emissions from the Knoxville MSA area. Point source VOC emissions were estimated at 5.71 ton/ day in 1999 which represents approximately 7% of the 80.25 ton/ day of overall VOC point source emissions from the Knoxville MSA area.

For NOX and VOC control, point sources located within Jefferson County are subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration ( PSD) requirements, Control Technology Guideline Reasonable Available Control Technology ( CTG RACT) requirements, Maximum Achievable Control Technology ( MACT) requirements for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( HAP), and New Source Performance Standards ( NSPS).

Mobile source NOX emissions from Jefferson County were estimated at 16.10 ton/ day in 1999 which represents approximately 12% of the 136.80 ton/ day of overall NOX mobile source emissions from the Knoxville MSA area. VOC emissions were estimated at 6.52 ton/ day in 1999 which represents approximately 8% of the 77.52 ton/ day of overall VOC mobile source emissions from the Knoxville MSA area. Commuting traffic from surrounding counties into Jefferson County is high. Commuting traffic from Jefferson County into surrounding counties is significant.

Preliminary analysis of the 2003 ozone data for the representative monitor indicates that the 2001 2003 design value will be approximately 0.091 ppm. Jefferson County represents less than one percent of the NOX point source emissions and about 7% of the VOC emissions with mobile source emissions of 12 and 8% respectively. These emissions are primarily located along or near the Hwy 11 and I 40 corridors through the county. For these reasons a partial county area extending from I 40 northward to include all of Jefferson County beyond the interstate should be designated nonattainment.
