FCMs to meet the capital requirements 

established by the CFTC. 

For purposes of the RFA, an 

introducing broker-commodities dealer 

is considered small if it has less than 

$35,500,000 in gross receipts 

annually.15 Based on information 

provided by the National Futures 

Association (NFA), 95 percent of 

introducing brokers-commodities 

dealers have less than $35.5 million in 

Adjusted Net Capital and are considered 

to be small entities. 

Mutual funds are defined in 31 CFR 

1010.100(gg) as those investment 

companies that are open-end investment 

companies that are registered or are 

required to register with the SEC. 

Because FinCEN and the SEC regulate 

substantially the same population, for 

the purposes of the RFA, FinCEN relies 

on the SEC’s definition of small 

business as previously submitted to the 

SBA. The SEC has defined the term 

‘‘small entity’’ under the Investment 

Company Act to mean an investment 

company that, together with other 

investment companies in the same 

group of related investment companies, 

has net assets of $50 million or less as 

of the end of its most recent fiscal 

year.16 Based on SEC estimates, 7 

percent of mutual funds are classified as 

‘‘small entities’’ for purposes of the RFA 

under this definition.17

B. Special Measures One Through Five 

As noted above, 80 percent of banks, 

94 percent of credit unions, 17 percent 

of broker-dealers, 95 percent of 

introducing brokers-commodities, zero 

FCMs, and 7 percent of mutual funds 

are small entities. The limited number 

of foreign banking institutions with 

which FBME maintains or will maintain 

accounts will likely limit the number of 

affected covered financial institutions to 

the largest U.S. banks, which actively 

engage in international transactions. 

Thus, the imposition of the 

recordkeeping, information collection, 

or reporting provisions in any of special 

measures one through four would not 

impact a substantial number of small 

entities. Similarly, the imposition of the 

prohibition on maintaining 

correspondent accounts for foreign 

banking institutions that engage in 

transactions involving FBME under the 

fifth special measure, together with 

related notice and special due diligence, 

would not impact a substantial number 

of small entities. Finally, imposing 

conditions on the opening or 

maintenance of such a correspondent 

account under special measure five 

would not impact a substantial number 

of small entities. 

C. Certification 

For these reasons, FinCEN certifies 

that the proposals contained in this 

rulemaking would not have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

businesses. 

FinCEN invites comments from 

members of the public who believe 

there would be a significant economic 

impact on small entities from the 

imposition of any of special measures 

one through five.

Region 3] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; 

Revision to the Definition of Volatile 

Organic Compound 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the 

Commonwealth of Virginia for the 

purpose of revising the definition of 

volatile organic compound (VOC). In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this action, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by December 28, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA–

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–R03–OAR–2015–

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.

Oil and Natural Gas Sector: National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: This action requests 

information related to hazardous air 

pollutant (HAP) emissions from sources 

in the oil and natural gas production 

and natural gas transmission and storage 

segments of the oil and natural gas 

sector. In 2012, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) revised the 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for 

the Oil and Natural Gas Production 

Facilities and the Natural Gas 

Transmission and Storage Facilities 

major source categories. This action 

requests additional data and 

information that was not available at 

that time. In particular, we are 

requesting data on storage vessels 

without potential flash emissions (PFE) 

and data on HAP emissions from 

regulated small glycol dehydrators. 

With regard to the small glycol 

dehydrators we are particularly 

interested in data regarding any 

emissions of HAP other than benzene, 

toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene 

(BTEX), information on available 

control options for any such HAP and 

information regarding a potential 

compliance demonstration issue with 

respect to the 2012 standards for small 

glycol dehydration units, as they apply 

to units with very low emissions. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before January 26, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2015–0747, to the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or withdrawn. The EPA may 

publish any comment received to its 

public docket. Do not submit 

electronically any information you 

consider to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Multimedia submissions (audio, video, 

etc.) must be accompanied by a written 

comment. The written comment is 

considered the official comment and 

should include discussion of all points 

you wish to make. The EPA will 

generally not consider comments or 

comment contents located outside of the 

primary submission (i.e., on the web, 

cloud, or other file sharing system). For 

additional submission methods, the full
