SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-58824; File No. SR-NYSEALTR-2008-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Alternext US LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change by NYSE
Alternext U.S. LLC To Amend NYSE Alternext Equities Rule 123D(4) To
Expand That Rule's Trading Halt Condition To Cover All Structured
Products

October 21, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 17, 2008, NYSE Alternext US LLC (``NYSE Alternext'' 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 Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Alternext Equities Rule 123D(4)
to expand the application of the trading halt condition provided by
that rule to include all NYSE Alternext listed structured products. The
text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site (http://www.amex.com), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary,
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 self-regulatory organization
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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. NYSE Alternext has prepared
summaries, set forth in Sections A, B and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On September 30, 2008, NYSE Euronext (the parent company of two
other exchanges--New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'') and NYSE Arca,
Inc.), completed its acquisition of the Exchange (the ``Merger''). In
connection with the Merger, NYSE Alternext will relocate all equities
trading currently conducted on or through the Amex legacy trading
systems and facilities located at 86 Trinity Place, New York, New York,
to the NYSE trading facilities and systems located at 11 Wall Street,
New York, New York (the ``NYSE Alternext Trading Systems''), which will
be operated by the NYSE on behalf of NYSE Alternext (the ``Equities
Relocation''). In anticipation of the Equities Relocation, the Exchange
has adopted the NYSE's trading rules as the ``NYSE Alternext Equities
Rules,'' to be implemented at the time of the Equities Relocation.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58705 (October 1, 2008),
73 FR 58995 (October 8, 2008) (SR-Amex-2008-63).

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

    NYSE Euronext has made a business decision to discontinue the
listing and trading of exchange traded funds (``ETFs'') and structured
products on the Exchange at the time of the Equities Relocation and to
encourage the issuers of those securities to transfer their listings to
NYSE Arca. As such, the NYSE Alternext Equities Rules do not provide
for the trading of ETFs and structured products and the NYSE Alternext
Trading Systems will not be equipped for such trading. However, some of
the issuers of ETFs and structured products may not have completed the
transfer of their listed securities to NYSE Arca prior to the Equities
Relocation. It would be prohibitively expensive to keep open the
trading floor at 86 Trinity Place to facilitate the trading of a
limited number of ETFs and structured products pending their transfer
to NYSE Arca. To address this problem as it relates to ETFs, the
Exchange included Rule 123D(4) in the NYSE Alternext Equities Rules.
Rule 123D(4) provides for a non-regulatory trading halt condition to
permit the halting of trading of ETFs on the Exchange to facilitate the
closing of the 86 Trinity Place trading floor in connection with the
Equities Relocation. Orders in ETFs subject to the trading halt
condition are to be routed to NYSE Arca for execution.
    Rule 123D(4) as adopted does not apply to structured products that
remain listed on the Exchange at the time of the Equities Relocation.
As the same problem arises in connection with the continued trading of
structured products on the Exchange after the Equities Relocation as
arises with ETFs, the Exchange proposes to extend the application of
Rule 123D(4) to any structured products that remain listed at that
time. In order for Rule 123D(4) to comprehensively apply to all ETFs
and structured products, the Exchange proposes to extend its
application to securities listed pursuant to Sections 104 (Bonds and
Debentures), 106 (Currency and Index Warrants), or 107 (Other
Securities) of the Exchange's Company Guide or pursuant to Exchange
Rules 1000-AEMI and 1001 et seq. (Portfolio Depositary Receipts),
1000A-AEMI and 1001A et seq. (Index Fund Shares), 1000B et seq.
(Managed Fund Shares), 1200-AEMI and 1201 et seq. (Trading of Trust
Issued Receipts), 1200A-AEMI and 1201A et seq. (Commodity-Based Trust
Shares), 1400 et seq. (Trading of Paired Trust Shares), 1500-AEMI and
1501 et seq. (Trading of Partnership Units), and 1600 et seq. (Trading
of Trust Units).
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \4\ that an Exchange have rules that
are designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. In particular, the Exchange believes
that the proposed amendment facilitates transactions in securities
because it will make it easier for issuers of structured products
listed on the Exchange to ensure the continuity of trading of their
securities after the closing of the Exchange's trading floor at 86
Trinity Place and pending transfer of the listing of those securities
to NYSE Arca.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    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.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The proposed rule change has taken effect upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange asserts that the proposed rule change (i) will not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest, (ii) will not impose any significant burden on competition,
and (iii) will not become operative for 30 days after the date of this
filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
noncontroversial because it will make it easier for issuers of
structured products listed on the Exchange to ensure the continuity of
trading of their securities after the closing of the 86 Trinity Place
trading floor and pending transfer of the listing of those securities
to NYSE Arca. The Exchange believes that the proposed amendment to Rule
123D(4) does not raise any novel regulatory issues as it simply extends
the trading halt condition to structured products under the same
circumstances in which it applies to ETFs.
    The Exchange provided the Commission with 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 business days prior
to the date of the filing of the proposed rule change as required by
Rule 19b-4(f)(6).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 C.F.R. 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2020]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these

changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0357; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-005-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500
Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This proposed AD
would require repetitive inspections for discrepancies of the fuse pins
of the inboard and outboard midspar fittings of the nacelle strut, and
corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD results from a report
of corrosion damage of the chrome runout on the head side found on all
four midspar fuse pins of the nacelle strut. Additionally, a large
portion of the chrome plate was missing from the corroded area of the
shank. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct discrepancies of
the fuse pins of the inboard and outboard midspar fittings of the
nacelle strut, which could result in reduced structural integrity of
the fuse pins and consequent loss of the strut and separation of the
engine from the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 12, 2008.

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

    We have received a report of corrosion damage of the chrome runout
on the head side found on all four midspar fuse pins of the nacelle
strut on a Model 737-300 airplane. Additionally, a large portion of the
chrome plate was missing from the corroded area of the shank. The
airplane had a total of 28,621 flight cycles. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in discrepancies of the fuse pins of the
inboard and outboard midspar fittings of the nacelle strut, reduced
structural integrity of the fuse pins, and consequent loss of the strut
and separation of the engine from the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-54-
1044, dated December 10, 2007. The service bulletin describes
procedures for

repetitive detailed inspections for discrepancies (cracking, pitting,
corrosion, or chrome plate damage) of the fuse pins of the left- and
right-side inboard and outboard midspar fittings of the nacelle strut,
and corrective actions if necessary. The corrective actions include
blending out pitting or corrosion damage, inspecting blended areas to
make sure all damage was removed, and repairing or replacing damaged
fuse pins with new or serviceable fuse pins.
    The compliance time specified in the service bulletin is the latest
of the following: Within 180 months from the date of issuance of the
original standard certificate of airworthiness or original export
certificate of airworthiness, within 180 months from date of previous
pin replacement, or within 24 months after the effective date of the
service bulletin. The repetitive interval is not to exceed 60 months.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described previously.

Interim Action

    We consider this proposed AD interim action. The manufacturer is
currently developing a modification that will address the unsafe
condition identified in this AD. Once this modification is developed,
approved, and available, we might consider additional rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 616 airplanes of
U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 4 work-hours
per product to comply with the inspection in this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of this proposed AD to the U.S. operators to be
$197,120, or $320 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), and
    3. 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Boeing: Docket No. FAA-2008-0357; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-
005-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by May 12, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500
series airplanes, certificated in any category.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from a report of corrosion damage of the
chrome runout on the head side found on all four midspar fuse pins
of the nacelle strut. Additionally, a large portion of the chrome
plate was missing from the corroded area of the shank. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct damage of the fuse pins of the
inboard and outboard midspar fittings of the nacelle strut, which
could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuse pins and
consequent loss of the strut and separation of the engine from the
airplane.

Compliance

    (e) Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

Repetitive Inspections/Corrective Actions

    (f) At the applicable time specified in paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance'' of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-54-
1044, dated December 10, 2007; except, where the service bulletin
specifies a compliance time after the date on the service bulletin,
this AD requires compliance within the specified compliance time
after the effective date of this AD: Do a detailed inspection for
discrepancies of the fuse pins of the inboard and outboard midspar
fittings of the nacelle strut by doing all the actions, including
all applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of the service bulletin. Do all
applicable corrective actions before further flight. Repeat the
inspection at the time specified in paragraph 1.E. of the service
bulletin.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (g)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA, ATTN: Allen Rauschendorfer, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe
Branch, ANM-120S, FAA, Seattle ACO, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>;
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    (2) To request a different method of compliance or a different
compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD, if it is approved by an
Authorized Representative for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Delegation Option Authorization Organization who has been

authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. For
a repair method to be approved, the repair must meet the
certification basis of the airplane.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on March 19, 2008.

SUMMARY:  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
provisions of the agency's Voluntary Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Point Manuals for Operators and Regulators of Retail and Food
Service Establishments.

DATES:  Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by February 17, 2009.

ADDRESSES:  Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonna Capezzuto, Office of Information
Management (HFA-710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,
Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Voluntary Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Manuals for
Operators and Regulators of Retail and Food Service Establishments (OMB
Control Number 0910-0578)--Extension

    The Operator's Manual contains information and recommendations for
operators of retail and foodservice establishments who wish to develop
and implement a voluntary food safety management system based on Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles. Operators may
decide to incorporate some or all of the principles presented in the
manual into their existing food safety management systems. The
recordkeeping practices discussed in the manual are voluntary and may
include documenting certain activities, such as monitoring and
verification, which the operator may or may not deem necessary to
ensure food safety. The manual includes optional worksheets to assist
operators in developing and validating a voluntary food safety
management system.
    The Regulator's Manual contains recommendations for State, local,
and tribal regulators on conducting risk-based inspections of retail
and foodservice establishments, including recommendations about
recordkeeping practices that can assist operators in preventing
foodborne illness. These recommendations may lead to voluntary actions
by operators based on consultation with regulators. For example, an
operator may develop a risk control plan as an intervention strategy
for controlling specific out-of-control foodborne illness risk factors
identified during an inspection. Further, the manual contains
recommendations to assist regulators when evaluating voluntary food
safety management systems in retail and foodservice establishments.
Such evaluations typically consist of the following two components: (1)
Validation (assessing whether the establishment's voluntary food safety
management system is adequate to control food safety hazards) and (2)
verification (assessing whether the establishment is following its
voluntary food safety management system). The manual includes a sample
entitled ``Verification Inspection Checklist'' to assist regulators
when conducting verification inspections of establishments with
voluntary food safety management systems.
    Types of operator records discussed in the manuals and listed in
the following burden estimates include: (1) Food safety management
systems (plans that delineate the formal procedures to follow to
control all food safety hazards in an operation); (2) risk control
plans (HACCP-based, goal-oriented plans for achieving active managerial
control over specific out-of-control foodborne illness risk factors);
(3) hazard analysis (written assessment of the significant food safety
hazards associated with foods prepared in the establishment); (4)
prerequisite programs (written policies or procedures, including but
not limited to, standard operating procedures, training protocols, and
buyer specifications that address maintenance of basic operational and
sanitation conditions); (5) monitoring (records showing the
observations or measurements that are made to help determine if
critical limits are being met and maintained); (6) corrective action
(records indicating the activities that are completed whenever a
critical limit is not met); (7) ongoing verification (records showing
the procedures that are followed to ensure that monitoring and other
functions of the food safety management system are being implemented
properly); and (8)

validation (records indicating that scientific and technical
information is collected and evaluated to determine if the food safety
management system, when properly implemented, effectively controls the
hazards).
    All recommendations in both manuals are voluntary. For simplicity
and to avoid duplicate estimates for operator recordkeeping practices
that are discussed in both manuals, the burden for all collection of
information recommendations for retail and foodservice operators are
estimated together in table 1 of this document, regardless of the
manual in which they appear. Collection of information recommendations
for regulators in the Regulator's Manual are listed separately in table
2 of this document.
    Description of Respondents: The likely respondents to this
collection of information are operators and regulators of retail and
foodservice establishments.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.
\2\ Annual burden.
\3\ Burden for developing and implementing a food safety management system based on the Operator's Manual.
\4\ Annual burden for developing and implementing a risk control plan based on the Regulator's Manual.

    The burden for these activities may vary among retail and
foodservice operators depending on the type and number of products
involved, the complexity of an establishment's operation, the nature of
the equipment or instruments required to monitor critical control
points, and the extent to which an operator uses the Operator's Manual
and/or the Regulator's Manual. The estimate does not include
collections of information that are a usual and customary part of an
operator's normal activities. FDA has established as a goal to have
50,000 (0.05 percent) of the approximately one million U.S. retail and
foodservice operators implement the recommendations outlined in the 2
manuals. This target figure is used in calculating the burden in tables
1 and 2 of this document because the agency lacks data on how to base
an estimate of how many retail and foodservice establishments are
likely to use one or more of the manuals to voluntarily implement a
comprehensive food safety management system based on HACCP principles
or a risk control plan for out-of-control processes identified during
an inspection. FDA's estimate of the total number of retail and
foodservice establishments is based on numbers obtained from the two
major trade organizations representing these industries, the Food
Marketing Institute, and the National Restaurant Association,
respectively.
    The hour burden estimates in table 1 of this document for operators
who follow the HACCP-based recommendations in the Operator's Manual are
based on the estimated average annual information collection burden for
mandatory HACCP rules, including seafood HACCP (60 FR 65096 at 65178;
December 18, 1995) and juice HACCP (66 FR 6138 at 6202; January 19,
2001). FDA estimates that once the system is in place, the annual
frequency of records is based on 365 operating days per year. Assuming
there is one recordkeeper per shift of operation, the agency estimates
that two recordkeepers per day would be needed to conduct monitoring,
corrective action, recordkeeping, and verification outlined in the
system. The agency further estimates that validation will be conducted
once per year, based on menu or food list changes, changes in
distributors, or changes in food preparation processes used. The
validation will require a total of 4 labor hours.
    The second set of estimates in table 1 of this document shows the
annual burden for developing and implementing a risk control plan to
control specific out-of-control foodborne illness risk factors
identified during an inspection by a State, local, or tribal regulatory
authority. If an operator decides to use a risk control plan as
recommended in the Regulator's Manual, one person from the
establishment is needed to work with the regulator to develop the
written

plan. FDA estimates that two recordkeepers per day (one recordkeeper
for each shift) would be needed to conduct monitoring, corrective
action, recordkeeping, and verification outlined in the risk control
plan. The estimated duration of implementation for a risk control plan
is 90 days, which is the minimum recommended time to achieve long-term
behavior change.

    It is difficult to predict the number of State, local, and tribal
regulatory jurisdictions that will use the Regulator's Manual. But, FDA
anticipates that retail and foodservice establishments which
voluntarily develop and implement a food safety management system based
on the Operator's Manual will request their regulatory authorities to
conduct an evaluation of their system. The estimates in table 2 of this
document for the annual burden to State, local, and tribal regulators
that follow the recommendations in the Regulator's Manual were
calculated based on the usual time needed for one person to evaluate a
voluntarily-implemented food safety management system and record the
findings. The number of times an inspector may be asked by an operator
to evaluate a voluntarily-implemented system is not expected to exceed
once per year.

Management Web site transitioned to the Federal Dockets Management
System (FDMS). FDMS is a Government-wide, electronic docket management

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71423; File No. SR-CBOE-2014-008]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change to Amend its Fees Schedule

January 28, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on January 17, 2014, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(the ``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary, 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 these 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 aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule regarding
subcabinet trades. Subcabinet trades are limit orders with a price of
at least $0 but less than $1 per options contract (per Exchange Rule
6.54, Interpretation and Policy .03). These trades are often executed
in order to close out positions prior to expiration and therefore
remove the risks or capital costs associated with open positions.
    The Exchange hereby proposes to explicitly state that the Exchange
will assess no transaction fees or surcharges for subcabinet trades.
This is because the Exchange believes that enabling market participants
to close out positions at no cost allows those market participants to
reduce risk associated with near-worthless positions and free up
capital for other trading purposes. This serves to increase volume and
profit opportunity in CBOE's non-subcabinet options series and across
all CBOE products, which benefits both the Exchange and all of the
Exchange's market participants. The Exchange desires to make clear that
it will assess the Sales Value Fee for subcabinet trades, as the Sales
Value Fee is assessed on transactions when the Exchange must pay some
outside party (pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act, or to
another exchange) in relation to such transactions.
    The Exchange has a number of fee-related programs that provide for
reduced or limited fees based on achieving certain volume
thresholds.\3\ As the Exchange proposes to state that it will not
assess fees for subcabinet trades, the Exchange also proposes to state
that subcabinet trades will also not count towards any volume
thresholds or volume threshold calculations.\4\ The Exchange has
determined that it is not economically viable to count transactions for
which fees are not assessed towards the volume thresholds of programs
that offer lowered fees based on reaching those volume thresholds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For these purposes, these programs are the Liquidity
Provider Sliding Scale, the CBOE Proprietary Products Sliding Scale,
and the Customer Large Trade Discount, (see the tables bearing those
names on the Exchange Fees Schedule for more details on those
programs) as well as the program, described in Footnote 25 of the
Fees Schedule, that provides rebates to Floor Broker Trading Permit
Holders for executing certain amounts of customer open outcry
contracts in multiply-listed options in a month (together, the
``Exchange Fee Programs'').
    \4\ The Exchange will append the footnote number 32, which
includes this statement, to the tables on the Fees Schedule that
apply to the Exchange Fee Programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Act.\5\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\6\ which requires that
Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other
persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that it is
reasonable to not assess fees for subcabinet trades because market
participants executing such trades will not have to pay a fee for such
transactions. The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory to not assess fees or surcharges for subcabinet
trades because subcabinets are of such minimal economic value that
assessing almost any fee would render such transactions not
economically viable for the market participants holding the positions,
thereby causing the inefficiency of positions being left open merely
because it is more expensive to close them. The Exchange believes that
enabling market participants to close out positions at no cost allows
those market participants to reduce risk associated with near-worthless
positions and free up capital for other trading purposes. This serves
to increase volume and profit opportunity in CBOE's non-subcabinet
options series and across all CBOE products, which benefits both the
Exchange and all of the Exchange's market participants. Also, all
market participants will be able to avoid being assessed fees for
subcabinet trades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable, equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory to exclude volume from subcabinet trades
towards the Exchange Fee Programs because such trades are not assessed
fees. It does not make economic sense (nor is it economically viable)
to count transactions towards programs that provide lower fees when
such transactions are not assessed fees, and it seems fair to exclude
subcabinet trades from such programs when subcabinet trades are not
being assessed fees. Similarly, the Exchange believes that it is
reasonable, equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to assess the
Sales Value Fee for subcabinet trades, as the Sales Value Fee is
assessed on transactions when the Exchange must pay some outside party
(pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act, or to another exchange) in
relation to such transactions. In this circumstance, the Exchange
believes that it would not be economically viable to pay fees to those
outside parties when no fee is being assessed by the Exchange for such
transactions.

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

    CBOE 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. CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any burden on intramarket competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act because all market participants are able to avoid being
assessed fees for subcabinet trades, and because the exclusion of
subcabinet trades from counting towards the Exchange Fee Programs
applies to all market participants to whom such programs apply. CBOE
does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden
on intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the proposed change only
affects trading on CBOE. Indeed, explicitly stating that subcabinet
trades will not be assessed fees may encourage other exchanges to do
the same, causing greater competition. To the extent that the proposed
rule change makes CBOE a more attractive trading venue for market
participants on other exchanges, such market participants may elect to
become CBOE market participants.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \8\
thereunder. 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 investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
