review of racial or economic 

discrimination.’’ Id. at 52,047. 

The Policy Statement also reiterates 

guidance on defining the geographic 

area for environmental justice 

assessments and identifying low-income 

and minority communities. Id. In 

addition, it explains that a scoping 

process is used to ‘‘assist the NRC in 

ensuring that minority and low-income 

communities, including transient 

populations, affected by the proposed 

action are not overlooked in assessing 

the potential for significant impacts 

unique to those communities.’’ Id. at 

52,048. In performing a NEPA analysis, 

‘‘published demographic data, 

community interviews and public input 

through well-noticed public scoping 

meetings should be used in identifying 

minority and low-income communities 

that may be subject to adverse 

environmental impacts.’’ Id. 

On April 23, 2021, in a Staff 

Requirements Memorandum (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML21113A070), the 

Commission directed the staff to 

‘‘systematically review how the agency’s 

programs, polices, and activities address 

environmental justice.’’ As part of this 

review, the Commission directed the 

staff to evaluate recent Executive Orders 

and assess whether environmental 

justice is appropriately considered and 

addressed in the agency’s programs, 

policies, and activities, given the 

agency’s mission. As directed, the staff 

will consider the practices of other 

Federal, State, and Tribal agencies and 

evaluate whether the NRC should 

incorporate environmental justice 

beyond implementation through NEPA. 

The staff will also review the adequacy 

of the 2004 Policy Statement. The 

Commission further directed the staff to 

consider whether establishing formal 

mechanisms to gather external 

stakeholder input would benefit any 

future environmental justice efforts. To 

carry out the Commission’s direction, 

the staff is seeking to engage 

stakeholders and interested persons 

representing a broad range of 

perspectives. This Federal Register 

notice is part of this engagement effort. 

III. Requested Information and 

Comments 

On July 9, 2021, the NRC published 

a notice in the Federal Register (86 FR 

36307) requesting comments. The 

comment period was originally 

scheduled to close on August 23, 2021 

and was extended to September 22, 

2021 (86 FR 43696). The NRC staff has 

decided to extend the comment period 

until October 29, 2021, to allow more 

time for members of the public to 

submit their comments. 

The NRC is interested in obtaining a 

broad range of perspectives from 

stakeholders and interested persons. 

The focus of this request is to gather 

information to inform a systematic 

assessment for how the NRC addresses 

environmental justice in its programs, 

policies, and activities, considering the 

agency’s mission and statutory 

authority. The NRC is particularly 

interested in receiving input on the 

following questions: 

(1) What is your understanding of 

what is meant by environmental justice 

at the NRC? 

(2) As described in the Commission’s 

2004 Policy Statement on the Treatment 

of Environmental Justice Matters in NRC 

Regulatory and Licensing Actions (69 

FR 52040), the NRC currently addresses 

environmental justice in its NEPA 

reviews to determine if a proposed 

agency action will have 

disproportionately high and adverse 

impacts on minority and low-income 

communities, defined as environmental 

justice communities. 

(a) When the NRC is conducting 

licensing and other regulatory reviews, 

the agency uses a variety of ways to 

gather information from stakeholders 

and interested persons on 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

agency action, such as in-person and 

virtual meetings, Federal Register 

notices requesting input, and dialog 

with community organizations. 

(i) How could the NRC expand how 

it engages and gathers input? 

(ii) What formal tools might there be 

to enhance information gathering from 

stakeholders and interested persons in 

NRC’s programs, policies, and 

activities? 

(iii) Can you describe any challenges 

that may affect your ability to engage 

with the NRC on environmental justice 

issues? 

(b) How could the NRC enhance 

opportunities for members of 

environmental justice communities to 

participate in licensing and regulatory 

activities, including the identification of 

impacts and other environmental justice 

concerns? 

(c) What ways could the NRC enhance 

identification of environmental justice 

communities? 

(d) What has the NRC historically 

done well, or currently does well that 

we could do more of or expand with 

respect to environmental justice in our 

programs, policies, and activities, 

including engagement efforts? In your 

view, what portions of the 2004 Policy 

Statement are effective? 

(3) What actions could the NRC take 

to enhance consideration of 

environmental justice in the NRC’s 

programs, policies and activities and 

agency decision-making, considering 

the agency’s mission and statutory 

authority? 

(a) Would you recommend that NRC 

consider any particular organization’s 

environmental justice program(s) in its 

assessment? 

(b) Looking to other Federal, State, 

and Tribal agencies’ environmental 

justice programs, what actions could the 

NRC take to enhance consideration of 

environmental justice in the NRC’s 

programs, policies, and activities? 

(c) Considering recent Executive 

Orders on environmental justice, what 

actions could the NRC take to enhance 

consideration of environmental justice 

in the NRC’s programs, policies, and 

activities? 

(d) Are there opportunities to expand 

consideration of environmental justice 

in NRC programs, policies, and 

activities, considering the agency’s 

mission? If so, what are they?

Company Organized Solely for the 

Purpose of Identifying an Acquisition 

Target

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on August 

24, 2021, New York Stock Exchange 

LLC (‘‘NYSE’’ 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 prepared by the selfregulatory organization. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change

Subscription Warrants. For purposes of 

proposed Section 102.09 a Subscription

consummating the acquisition of one or 

more operating businesses or assets with 

a value (calculated at the time of entry 

into the acquisition agreement) equal to 

at least 80% of the aggregate exercise 

price of the Subscription Warrants (an 

‘‘Acquisition’’). 

(ii) For a transaction to qualify as an 

Acquisition, the resultant entity must 

qualify for initial listing on the 

Exchange and the acquisition agreement 

must provide that the transaction will 

be consummated only if the resultant 

entity will be listed on the Exchange or 

another national securities exchange. 

(iii) At the time of initial listing, the 

Subscription Warrants must: (A) Have 

an aggregate exercise price of at least 

$250 million; (B) have at least 1,100,000 

publicly held Subscription Warrants 

outstanding, with an aggregate exercise 

price of at least $200 million; (C) have
