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 Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 16 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 17 thereunder. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay.18 The Commission finds that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because waiver of the operative delay will reduce the potential for confusion related to how to comply with aspects of Rule 35 rules that are now obsolete or impracticable. The Exchange requested the operative delay in order to update the text of Rule 35 to be consistent with current requirements by removing provisions that, because of technical enhancements to trading and improvements to electronic communications, are obsolete and no longer necessary without delay. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing.19 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of 16 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file 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. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 18 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 19 For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule change’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 17 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:35 Aug 15, 2022 Jkt 256001 investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. Rule 17a–1 requires that every national securities exchange, national securities association, registered clearing agency, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board keep on file for a period of not less than five years, the first two years in an easily accessible place, at least one copy of all documents, including all correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, notices, accounts, and other such records made or received by it in the course of its business as such and in the conduct of its self-regulatory activity, and that such documents be available for examination by the Commission. There are 35 entities required to comply with the rule: 24 national securities exchanges, 1 national securities association, 9 registered clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:35 Aug 15, 2022 Jkt 256001 Notice and request for comments. ACTION: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the FAA invites the general public, industry and other governmental parties to comment about its intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate the information collection request (ICR) OMB No. 2120– 0705, Hazardous Materials Training Requirements. The ICR previously approved by OMB expired on July 31, 2022. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments that was published on June 10, 2022 received no public comments. This collection involves the FAA’s certification process requirements for operators and repair stations that are required to submit documentation related to hazardous materials training programs. SUMMARY: Written comments should be submitted by September 15, 2022. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ PRAMain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the FAA’s performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the FAA to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. OMB Control Number: 2120–0705. Title: Hazardous Materials Training Requirements. Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this information collection. Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of previously approved information collection. Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on June 10, 2022 (87 FR 35593). The DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50369 FAA, as prescribed in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121 and 135, requires certificate holders to submit manuals and hazardous materials (‘‘hazmat’’) training programs, or revisions to an approved hazmat training program to obtain initial and final approval as part of the FAA’s certification process. Original certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR part 119. Continuing certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. The FAA uses the approval process to determine compliance of the hazmat training programs with the applicable regulations, national policies, and safe operating practices. The FAA must ensure that the documents adequately establish safe operating procedures. Additionally, 14 CFR part 145 requires certain repair stations to provide documentation showing that persons handling hazmat for transportation have been trained following the Department of Transportation’s (DOT, ‘‘Department’’) guidelines. Respondents: The FAA estimates 6,893 respondents that are 14 CFR parts 121, 135, and 145 active certificate holders. The FAA estimates 80 active firms under part 121, 1,915 active firms under part 135, and 4,898 active firms under part 145. Frequency: There is a one-time cost to revise manuals. Information is collected on occasion. Part 121 and part 135 operators are required to submit documentation of their hazardous materials training to receive original certification. If an operator decides to make a change to its training program, it must provide the updated manual. A part 145 repair station is required to submit a statement to the FAA certifying that all of its hazmat employees are trained under the Hazardous Materials Regulations prior to receiving the initial part 145 certificate. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 374.57 hours of manual revision, recordkeeping, and notification for each part 121 operator, and 6.53 hours for each part 135 operator. The FAA estimates 1.22 hours of certification submission and notification for part 145 operators. These are all annualized averages, which account for the wide variability in the type, complexity, and size of operation. Certificate holders are not anticipated to spend the same amount of time each year. Therefore, based on subject-matter expertise, the FAA expects that all part 121 operators will require 0.8 hours for minimum revisions to revise their manuals, and all part 135 operators will require 0.4 hours to accomplish this task.
