SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1502 of the Act amends the Securities 

Exchange Act by adding new Section 

13(p). Section 13(p) requires the 

Commission to promulgate disclosure 

and reporting regulations regarding the 

use of conflict minerals from the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo and 

adjoining countries. On December 15, 

2010, the Commission proposed rule 

amendments to implement Exchange 

Act Section 13(p).1

The Commission has been asked to 

hold a roundtable discussion to 

facilitate its understanding of the issues 

surrounding conflict minerals. The 

Commission believes that additional 

public input on the proposed 

rulemaking would be beneficial in light 

of the particular subject matter. 

Dated: October 6, 2011.

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 rule, 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule, and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.

Transportation Conformity Rule: 

MOVES Regional Grace Period 

Extension 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to extend 

the grace period before the MOtor 

Vehicle Emission Simulator model 

(currently MOVES2010a) is required for 

regional emissions analyses for 

transportation conformity 

determinations (‘‘regional conformity 

analyses’’). This proposal would 

provide an additional year to the 

previously established two-year 

conformity grace period, so that 

MOVES2010a would not be required for 

regional conformity analyses until 

March 2, 2013. This proposal would not 

affect EPA’s previous approval of the 

use of MOVES in official state air 

quality implementation plan (SIP) 

submissions or the existing grace period 

before MOVES2010a is required for 

carbon monoxide and particulate matter 

hot-spot analyses for project-level 

conformity determinations. 

DATES: Written comments on this 

proposal must be received on or before 

November 14, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or e-mail. The http:// 

www.regulations.gov Web site is an

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov your e-mail 

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. For additional information
