(``Act'' or ``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to list and trade shares (``Shares'') of certain
funds of the ProShares Trust (``Trust'') under BATS Rule 14.11(i). The

2014), 79 FR 16073 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade the Shares of the ProShares
CDS North American HY Credit ETF, ProShares CDS Short North American HY
Credit ETF, ProShares CDS North American IG Credit ETF, ProShares CDS
Short North American IG Credit ETF, ProShares CDS European HY Credit
ETF, ProShares CDS Short European HY Credit ETF, ProShares CDS European
IG Credit ETF, and the ProShares CDS Short European IG Credit ETF
(individually, ``Fund,'' and collectively, ``Funds'') under BATS Rule
14.11(i), which governs the listing and trading of Managed Fund Shares
on the Exchange. The Shares will be offered by the Trust, which was
established as a Delaware statutory trust on May 29, 2002. The Trust is
registered with the Commission as an open-end investment company and
has filed a registration statement on behalf of the Funds on Form N-1A
(``Registration Statement'') with the Commission.\4\ ProShare Advisors
LLC is the investment adviser (``Adviser'') to the Funds. JPMorgan
Chase Bank, National Association is the administrator, custodian, fund
account agent, index receipt agent, and transfer agent for the Trust.
SEI Investments Distribution Co. serves as the distributor for the
Trust. The Exchange represents that the Adviser is not a registered
broker-dealer, but is currently affiliated with a broker-dealer, and
that Adviser personnel who make decisions regarding the Funds'
portfolios are subject to procedures designed to prevent the use and
dissemination of material, non-public information regarding the Funds'
portfolios.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Registration Statement on Form N-1A for the Trust, dated
May 31, 2013 (File Nos. 333-89822 and 811-21114). See also
Investment Company Act Release No. 30562 (June 18, 2013) (File No.
812-14041).
    \5\ See BATS Rule 14.11(i)(7). The Exchange further represents
that in the event that (a) the Adviser becomes a broker-dealer or
newly affiliated with a broker-dealer, or (b) any new adviser or
sub-adviser is a broker-dealer or becomes affiliated with a broker-
dealer, it will implement a fire wall with respect to its relevant
personnel or such broker-dealer affiliate, as applicable, regarding
access to information concerning the composition and changes to the
portfolio, and will be subject to procedures designed to prevent the
use and dissemination of material, non-public information regarding
such portfolio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has made the following representations and statements
in describing the Funds and their

respective investment strategies, including other portfolio holdings
and investment restrictions.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commission notes that additional information regarding
the Trust, the Funds, and the Shares, including information on
credit default swaps, in particular, investment strategies, risks,
net asset value (``NAV'') calculation, creation and redemption
procedures, portfolio holdings, disclosure policies, distributions
and taxes, among other information, is included in the Notice and
the Registration Statement, as applicable. See Notice and
Registration Statement, supra notes 3 and 4, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of the Funds

    The Funds will be actively managed funds that seek to provide
exposure (or inverse exposure) to the credit of a segment of the fixed
income markets by selecting a broadly diversified, liquid credit
derivative portfolio.

A. Principal Investments

    To meet its respective investment objective, under normal market
circumstances,\7\ each Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net
assets in centrally cleared, index-based credit default swaps
(``CDS'').\8\ The Exchange represents that the Funds will be structured
to address concerns regarding counterparty risk and the use of leverage
in CDS. To limit counterparty risk, the Funds will utilize centrally
cleared CDS contracts. In addition, the Funds will seek to obtain only
non-leveraged long or short credit exposure, as applicable (i.e.,
exposure equivalent to Fund assets).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The term ``under normal circumstances'' includes, but is not
limited to, the absence of adverse market, economic, political, or
other conditions, including extreme volatility or trading halts in
the CDS markets, the related futures markets, or the financial
markets generally; operational issues causing dissemination of
inaccurate market information; or force majeure type events such as
systems failure, natural or man-made disaster, act of God, armed
conflict, act of terrorism, riot or labor disruption, or any similar
intervening circumstance.
    \8\ CDS provide exposure to the credit of one or more debt
issuers referred to as ``reference entities.'' These instruments are
designed to reflect changes in credit quality, including events of
default. CDS are most commonly discussed in terms of buying or
selling credit protection with respect to a reference entity.
Selling credit protection is equivalent to being ``long'' credit.
Buying credit protection is equivalent to being ``short'' credit.
Index-based CDS provide credit exposure, through a single trade, to
a basket of reference entities. A variety of index-based CDS with
different characteristics are currently available in the marketplace
with new issuances occurring periodically. Issuances typically vary
in terms of underlying reference entities and maturity and, thus,
can have significant differences in performance over time. As with
exchange-traded futures contracts, holders of centrally cleared
swaps do have counterparty risk relative to their Futures Commission
Merchant (``FCM''). The Funds will select one or more large, well-
capitalized institutions to act as their FCM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ProShares CDS North American HY Credit ETF

    The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long exposure to
credit by investing primarily in a broadly diversified, liquid
portfolio of index-based CDS for which the reference entities are North
American high yield (i.e., below investment grade or ``junk bond'')
debt issuers. The Fund seeks to increase in value when the North
American high yield credit market improves (i.e., the likelihood of
payment by North American high yield debt issuers increases), while
also seeking to limit the impact of a change in the credit quality of
any single high yield debt issuer. To achieve its objective, the Fund
will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
in centrally cleared index-based CDS. The Adviser intends to utilize
CDS to sell credit protection, thus obtaining long exposure to North
American high yield credit. The Fund's investments in CDS will be
consistent with the Fund's investment objective and will not be used to
create leverage. The Fund will seek to obtain long credit exposure
equivalent to its assets and will not provide leveraged exposure to
credit.
    The Adviser will actively manage the Fund, selecting credit
derivatives based on the following primary considerations:
Diversification; liquidity; and sensitivity to changes in credit
quality. The Adviser may, at times, also consider other factors such as
the relative value of one credit derivative versus another. The Fund
will typically have exposure to individual sectors to the same extent
as the index-based instruments in which it invests.

ProShares CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF

    The investment objective of the Fund is to provide inverse exposure
to credit by investing primarily in a broadly diversified, liquid
portfolio of index-based CDS for which the reference entities are North
American high yield (i.e., below investment grade or ``junk bond'')
debt issuers. The Fund seeks to increase in value when the North
American high yield credit market declines (i.e., the likelihood of
payment by North American high yield debt issuers decreases), while
also seeking to limit the impact of a change in the credit quality of
any single high yield debt issuer. To achieve its objective, the Fund
will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
in centrally cleared index-based CDS. The Adviser intends to utilize
CDS to buy credit protection, thus obtaining inverse exposure to North
American high yield credit. The Fund's investments in CDS will be
consistent with the Fund's investment objective and will not be used to
create leverage. The Fund will seek to obtain short credit exposure
equivalent to its assets and will not provide leveraged exposure to
credit.
    The Adviser will actively manage the Fund, selecting credit
derivatives based on the following primary considerations:

quality. The Adviser may, at times, also consider other factors such as
the relative value of one credit derivative versus another. The Fund
will typically have exposure to individual sectors to the same extent
as the index-based instruments in which it invests.

ProShares CDS North American IG Credit ETF

    The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long exposure to
credit by investing primarily in a broadly diversified, liquid
portfolio of index-based CDS for which the reference entities are North
American investment grade debt issuers. The Fund seeks to increase in
value when the North American investment grade credit market improves
(i.e., the likelihood of payment by North American investment grade
debt issuers increases), while also seeking to limit the impact of a
change in the credit quality of any single investment grade debt
issuer. To achieve its objective, the Fund will invest, under normal
circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in centrally cleared
index-based CDS. The Adviser intends to utilize CDS to sell credit
protection, thus obtaining exposure to North American investment grade
credit. The Fund's investments in CDS will be consistent with the
Fund's investment objective and will not be used to create leverage.
The Fund will seek to obtain long credit exposure equivalent to its
assets and will not provide leveraged exposure to credit.
    The Adviser will actively manage the Fund, selecting credit

issuer. To achieve its objective, the Fund will invest, under normal
circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in centrally cleared

equivalent to its assets and will not provide leveraged exposure to
credit.

will typically have exposure to individual sectors to the same extent
as the index-based instruments in which it invests.

ProShares CDS European HY Credit ETF

    The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long exposure to
credit by investing primarily in a broadly diversified, liquid
portfolio of index-based CDS for which the reference entities are
European high-yield (i.e., below investment grade or ``junk bond'')
debt issuers. The Fund seeks to increase in value when the European
high yield credit market improves (i.e., the likelihood of payment by
European high yield debt issuers increases), while also seeking to
limit the impact of a change in the credit quality of any single high
yield debt issuer. To achieve its objective, the Fund will invest,
under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in centrally
cleared index-based CDS. The Adviser intends to utilize CDS to sell
credit protection, thus obtaining exposure to European high yield
credit. The Fund's investments in CDS will be consistent with the

    The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long exposure to
credit by investing primarily in a broadly diversified, liquid
portfolio of index-based CDS for which the reference entities are
European investment grade debt issuers. The Fund seeks to increase in
value when the European investment grade credit market improves (i.e.,

quality. The Adviser may, at times, also consider other factors such as
the relative value of one credit derivative versus another. The Fund
will typically have exposure to individual sectors to the same extent
as the index-based instruments in which it invests.

B. Other Portfolio Holdings

    In addition to the instruments described above, the Funds may also
invest, to a more limited extent and in a manner consistent with its
investment objective, in exchange-traded futures contracts linked to
index-based CDS (also known as ``credit index futures''), which are
also centrally cleared.\9\ Each Fund will also invest in money market
instruments \10\ in a manner consistent with its investment objective
in order to generate additional return, to help manage cash flows in
and out of the Fund, such as in connection with payment of dividends or
expenses, to satisfy margin requirements, and to provide collateral or
to otherwise back investments in CDS and futures contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ As a general matter, futures contracts are standardized
contracts traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that
call for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of
asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for
cash settlement. Credit index futures provide exposure to the credit
of a number of reference entities. Unlike CDS, certain credit index
futures do not provide protection against events of default.
    \10\ For each of the Funds, the specific money market
instruments are Treasury securities and repurchase agreements and,
in the future, may include money market fund shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. The Funds' Investment Restrictions

    Each Fund may hold up to an aggregate amount of 15% of its net
assets in illiquid assets (calculated at the time of investment) deemed
illiquid by the Adviser \11\ under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(``1940 Act''). Each Fund will monitor its portfolio liquidity on an
ongoing basis to determine whether, in light of current circumstances,
an adequate level of liquidity is being maintained, and will consider
taking appropriate steps in order to maintain adequate liquidity if,
through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, more
than 15% of the Fund's net assets are held in illiquid assets. Illiquid
assets include assets subject to contractual or other restrictions on
resale and other instruments that lack readily available markets as
determined in accordance with Commission staff guidance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In reaching liquidity decisions, the Adviser may consider
the following factors: The frequency of trades and quotes for the
security; the number of dealers wishing to purchase or sell the
security and the number of other potential purchasers; dealer
undertakings to make a market in the security; and the nature of the
security and the nature of the marketplace trades (e.g., the time
needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers,
and the mechanics of transfer).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company (``RIC'') under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. Each Fund will invest its assets, and otherwise
conduct its operations, in a manner that is intended to satisfy the
qualifying income, diversification, and distribution requirements
necessary to establish and maintain RIC qualification under Subchapter
M. Each Fund will not invest in options or non-U.S. equity securities.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the Exchange's
proposal to list and trade the Shares is consistent with the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.\12\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange
Act,\13\ which requires, among other things, that the Exchange's rules
be 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. The Commission notes that the Funds
and the Shares must comply with the requirements of BATS Rule 14.11(i)
for the Shares to be listed and traded on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposal to list and trade the Shares
on the Exchange is consistent with Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the
Exchange Act,\14\ which sets forth Congress' finding that it is in the
public interest and appropriate for the protection of investors and the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets to assure the availability to
brokers, dealers, and investors of information with respect to
quotations for and transactions in securities. Quotation and last-sale
information for the Shares will be available on the facilities of the
Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA''). On each business day, before
commencement of trading in Shares during the Regular Trading Hours\15\
on the Exchange, the Funds will disclose on their Web sites the
Disclosed Portfolio that will form the basis for the Funds' calculation
of NAV at the end of the business day.\16\ The NAV of the Shares of the
CDS North American HY Credit ETF, the CDS Short North American HY
Credit ETF, the CDS North American IG Credit ETF, and the CDS Short
North American IG Credit ETF will generally be determined at 3:00 p.m.
Eastern Time each business day when the BATS Exchange is open for
trading. The NAV of the CDS European HY Credit ETF, the CDS Short
European HY Credit ETF, the CDS European IG Credit ETF, and the CDS
Short European IG Credit ETF will generally be determined at 11:00 a.m.
Eastern Time (or such time as equals 4:00 p.m. London Time) on each
business day that the BATS Exchange is open.\17\ In addition, for the
Funds, an estimated value, defined in BATS Rule 14.11(i)(3)(C) as the
``Intraday Indicative Value,'' that reflects an estimated intraday
value of the individual Fund's

portfolio, will be disseminated. The Intraday Indicative Value will be
based upon the current value for the components of the Disclosed
Portfolio and will be updated and widely disseminated by one or more
major market data vendors at least every 15 seconds during the
Exchange's Regular Trading Hours.\18\ According to the Exchange,
intraday price quotations on CDS of the type held by the Funds, as well
as repurchase agreements and Treasury instruments, are available from
major broker-dealer firms and from third-parties, which may provide
prices free with a time delay, or ``live'' with a paid fee. For futures
contracts, such intraday information is available directly from the
applicable listing exchange. Intraday price information is also
available through subscription services, such as Bloomberg and Thomson
Reuters, which can be accessed by authorized participants and other
investors. Money market fund shares are not generally priced or quoted
on an intraday basis. Information regarding market price and trading
volume of the Shares will be continually available on a real-time basis
throughout the day on brokers' computer screens and other electronic
services. Information regarding the previous day's closing price and
trading volume information for the Shares will be available daily in
the print and online financial press. In addition, the Funds' Web sites
will include a form of the prospectus for the Funds, as well as
information relating to NAV and other quantitative information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
    \15\ Regular Trading Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time.
    \16\ The Disclosed Portfolio will include, as applicable, the
names (including the credit derivative series or contract),
quantity, exposure value (notional value + gains/losses), and market
value of CDS, futures, and other assets held by the Funds and the
characteristics of such assets. The Web sites and information will
be publicly available at no charge. Under accounting procedures
followed by the Funds, trades made on the prior business day (``T'')
will be booked and reflected in NAV on the current business day
(``T+1''). Accordingly, the Funds will be able to disclose at the
beginning of the business day the portfolio that will form the basis
for the NAV calculation at the end of the business day.
    \17\ Securities and other assets will generally be valued at
their market price using information provided by a pricing service
or market quotations. Certain short-term securities will be valued
on the basis of amortized cost. CDS will generally be valued on the
basis of market prices, generally the mid-point between the bid/ask
quotes, obtained from a third-party pricing service as of the time a
Fund calculates its NAV. Futures contracts, such as the credit index
futures, will generally be valued at their last sale price prior to
the time at which the NAV per Share of a class of Shares of a Fund
is determined. Of the money market instruments held by the Funds,
repurchase agreements will generally be valued at cost. U.S.
government securities will generally be priced at a quoted market
price from an active market, generally the mid-point between the
bid/ask quotes. For U.S. government securities that mature within
sixty days, amortized cost may be used to approximate fair value.
Money market funds will generally be valued at their current NAV per
share, typically $1.00 per share. Alternatively, fair valuation
procedures may be applied if deemed more appropriate. Routine
valuation of certain other derivatives is performed using procedures
approved by the Board of Trustees.
    \18\ The Exchange represents that several major market data
vendors display or make widely available Intraday Indicative Values
published via the CTA or other data feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission also believes that the proposal to list and trade
the Shares is reasonably designed to promote fair disclosure of
information that may be necessary to price the Shares appropriately and
to prevent trading when a reasonable degree of transparency cannot be
assured. The Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of
the Shares that the NAV per share will be calculated daily and that the
NAV and the Disclosed Portfolio will be made available to all market
participants at the same time. The Exchange will halt trading in the
Shares under the conditions specified in BATS Rule 11.18. In addition,
trading may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons that,
in the view of the Exchange, make trading in the Shares inadvisable.
These may include: (1) The extent to which trading is not occurring in
the CDS, futures, and/or the financial instruments composing the
Disclosed Portfolio of the Funds; or (2) whether other unusual
conditions or circumstances detrimental to the maintenance of a fair
and orderly market are present.\19\ Trading in the Shares also will be
subject to Rule 14.11(i)(4)(B)(iv), which sets forth specific
circumstances under which Shares of the Funds may be halted. The
Exchange prohibits the distribution of material non-public information
by its employees. The Commission notes that, as represented by the
Exchange, the Adviser is not a registered broker-dealer, but is
currently affiliated with a broker-dealer, and that Adviser personnel
who make decisions regarding the Funds' portfolios are subject to
procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material,
non-public information regarding the Funds' portfolios.\20\ In
addition, the Commission notes that, consistent with BATS Rule
14.11(i)(4)(B)(ii)(b), the Reporting Authority, as defined in BATS Rule
14.11(i)(3)(D), must implement and maintain, or be subject to,
procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material,
non-public information regarding the actual components of each Fund's
portfolio. The Exchange may obtain information regarding trading in the
Shares and the underlying futures via the Intermarket Surveillance
Group (``ISG'') from other exchanges who are members or affiliates of
the ISG or with which the Exchange has entered into a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement.\21\ In addition, the Exchange is able
to access, as needed, trade information for certain fixed income
instruments reported to FINRA's Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See BATS Rule 14.11(i)(4)(B)(iii) (setting forth certain
circumstances under which the Exchange will consider the suspension
of trading in or removal from listing of a series of Managed Fund
Shares).
    \20\ See supra note 5 and accompanying text. The Commission
notes that an investment adviser to an open-end fund is required to
be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers
Act''). As a result, the Adviser and its related personnel are
subject to the provisions of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act
relating to codes of ethics. This Rule requires investment advisers
to adopt a code of ethics that reflects the fiduciary nature of the
relationship to clients as well as compliance with other applicable
securities laws. Accordingly, procedures designed to prevent the
communication and misuse of non-public information by an investment
adviser must be consistent with Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act.
In addition, Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act makes it unlawful
for an investment adviser to provide investment advice to clients
unless such investment adviser has (i) adopted and implemented
written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent
violation, by the investment adviser and its supervised persons, of
the Advisers Act and the Commission rules adopted thereunder; (ii)
implemented, at a minimum, an annual review regarding the adequacy
of the policies and procedures established pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above and the effectiveness of their implementation; and (iii)
designated an individual (who is a supervised person) responsible
for administering the policies and procedures adopted under
subparagraph (i) above.
    \21\ For a list of the current members and affiliate members of
ISG, see www.isgportal.com. The Exchange has noted that not all
components of the Disclosed Portfolio for the Funds may trade on
markets that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in
place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange deems the Shares to be equity securities, thus
rendering trading in the Shares subject to the Exchange's existing
rules governing the trading of equity securities. In support of this
proposal, the Exchange has made representations, including:
    (1) The Exchange has appropriate rules to facilitate transactions
in the Shares during all trading sessions.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See supra note 15. The Pre-Opening Session is from 8:00
a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The After Hours Trading Session is
from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) The Shares will be subject to BATS Rule 14.11(i), which sets
forth the initial and continued listing criteria applicable to Managed
Fund Shares.
    (3) Trading of the Shares through the Exchange will be subject to
the Exchange's surveillance procedures for derivative products,
including Managed Fund Shares, and that these procedures are adequate
to properly monitor Exchange trading of the Shares during all trading
sessions and to deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and the
applicable federal securities laws. In addition, all of the futures
contracts in the Disclosed Portfolio for the Funds will trade on
markets that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in place
a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.
    (4) Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform
its members in an Information Circular of the special characteristics
and risks associated with trading the Shares. Specifically, the
Information Circular will discuss the following: (1) The procedures for
purchases and redemptions of Shares in Creation Units (and that Shares
are not individually redeemable); (2) BATS Rule 3.7, which imposes
suitability obligations on Exchange members with respect to
recommending transactions in the Shares to customers; (3) how
information regarding the Intraday Indicative Value is disseminated;
(4) the risks involved in trading the Shares during the Pre-Opening and
After Hours Trading Sessions when an updated Intraday Indicative Value
will not be calculated or publicly disseminated; (5) the requirement
that members deliver a

prospectus to investors purchasing newly issued Shares prior to or
concurrently with the confirmation of a transaction; and (6) trading
information.
    (5) For initial and/or continued listing, the Funds must be in
compliance with Rule 10A-3 under the Act.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See 17 CFR 240.10A-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (6) Each Fund's investments in CDS will be consistent with its
respective investment objective and will not be used to create
leverage. The Funds will seek to obtain only non-leveraged long or
short credit exposure, as applicable (i.e., exposure equivalent to Fund
assets). To limit counterparty risk, the Funds will utilize centrally
cleared CDS contracts.
    (7) Each Fund may hold up to an aggregate amount of 15% of its net
assets in illiquid assets.
    (8) A minimum of 100,000 Shares for each Fund will be outstanding
at the commencement of trading on the Exchange.

This approval order is based on all of the Exchange's representations,
including those set forth above and in the Notice, and the Exchange's
description of the Funds.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \24\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\25\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BATS-2014-007), be, and it
hereby is, approved.

BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


Statement of National Corn Grower Association

Presented by DaNita Murray, Director of Public Policy

Before the EPA FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel on Atrazine

Purpose:  To consider and review the interpretation of the ecological
significance of atrazine stream-water concentrations using a
statistically-designed monitoring program

December 4, 2007

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.  My colleague, Lisa Kelley,
was scheduled to be here today but unforeseen circumstances have caused
her to be out of town.

The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) was founded in 1957 and
represents more than 32,000 members in 48 states, 47 affiliated state
organizations and more than 300,000 corn farmers who contribute to state
check-off programs for the purpose of creating new opportunities and
markets for corn growers.

How well a producer controls weeds makes all the difference in their
yields and return on investment.  Corn growers depend on the safe,
effective use of atrazine and pre-packs containing atrazine to control
weeds on about two-thirds of the country’s corn acreage.  By using
atrazine over alternative herbicides, farmers save an average of $28 per
acre in herbicide costs and yield advantages, according to a review by
the U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA, 2003).

Atrazine is the most thoroughly tested herbicide ever used in crop
protection, with the weight of evidence of nearly 6,000 scientific
studies supporting its safety.  In 2006, EPA re-registered atrazine
after a more than a decade of intense scientific review.  However, as a
condition of re-registration EPA required the registrant to develop a
monitoring program to determine whether atrazine concentrations in
streams associated with corn and sorghum production were exceeding a
designated and extremely conservative effects-based threshold based on
aquatic plant communities.  For over two years, Syngenta has conducted
this intensive monitoring program in the most vulnerable watersheds in
Midwest corn production and determined that there are minimal to no
effects on these aquatic communities from atrazine use when the modeling
system is used appropriately.

NCGA believes that in some areas EPA’s inputs to the model could be
readily corrected. For example, EPA pushes the simulation back to
January 1 in the model year, long before the first application of
atrazine when the first detections of atrazine in streams are possible
(about day-105 of the year).  EPA’s assumptions and input to the model
artificially presume that concentrations of atrazine are impacting a
watershed when in fact atrazine applications do not occur until time to
plant corn.  The model incorrectly assumes that low levels of atrazine
have a biological impact.

Additionally, NCGA notes that the model assumes that common rooted
vascular plants (macrophytes) are a large part of the aquatic ecosystem
early in the year.  In the winter months in the Midwest this would be
extremely uncommon.  In fact these types of plants are not typically
found in the headwater streams monitored in this program.

EPA has stated that it will return to another SAP when it corrects the
way the model seems to overestimate the effects of extended-duration,
low-level exposures and the apparent underestimate of the effects of
short-term, high-level exposures. We note that, high level exposures of
atrazine would likely not affect the aquatic community since the mode of
action of atrazine (inhibition of photosynthesis) is reversible.  The
streams and ecosystems on our growers farms are extremely resilient and
would easily recover from this type of exposure.

Moreover, no-till agriculture becomes impossible without herbicide use,
resulting in increased erosion estimated to be more than 300 billion
pounds of soil annually or a 15 percent increase. Much of this soil
erosion would enter waterways and significantly reduce the quality of
the nation’s surface water.  Soil erosion causes siltation -- the most
significant problem facing waterways in agricultural regions.  When
rooted plants as well algae in streams are restricted in growth it is
often by lack of light from erosion-borne sediment deposition.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, atrazine is the most
widely used herbicide in conservation tillage systems, which reduces
soil erosion by as much as 90%.

In conclusion, corn growers are committed to leaving our environment in
better shape than we found it.  NCGA believes that atrazine is used
safely on farms in the U.S. without any detrimental effects to aquatic
communities.  We believe that the Agency should complete the corrections
to the model to show that additional monitoring is not necessary.  We
appreciate the opportunity to comment.

[Docket No. USCG-2010-0917]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Fireworks for USS GRAVELY Commissioning Ceremony,
Cape Fear River, Wilmington, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on the navigable
waters of Cape Fear River in Wilmington, NC in support of the Fireworks
for the USS GRAVELY Commissioning Ceremony. This action is necessary to
protect the life and property of the maritime public and spectators
from the hazards posed by aerial fireworks displays. Entry into or
movement within this safety zone during the enforcement period is
prohibited without approval of the Captain of the Port.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. November 19, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2010-0917 and are available online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because any delay encountered in this
regulation's effective date by publishing a NPRM would be contrary to
public interest since immediate action is needed to provide for the
safety of life and property on navigable waters.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date would
be contrary to the public interest, since immediate action is needed to
ensure the safety of the event participants, patrol vessels, spectator
craft, and other vessels transiting the event area.

Basis and Purpose

    On November 19, 2010, the USS GRAVELY Commissioning Committee will
sponsor a fireworks display on the western shore of the Cape Fear River
at Battleship Park. The fireworks debris fallout area will extend over
the navigable waters of Cape Fear River. Due to the need to protect
mariners and spectators from the hazards associated with the fireworks
display, including accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris, vessel traffic
will be temporarily restricted from transiting within fireworks launch
and fallout area.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on the navigable
waters of Cape Fear River within an area bound by a line drawn from the
following points: latitude 34[deg]13'54'' N, longitude 077[deg]57'06''
W; thence northeast to latitude 34[deg]13'57'' N, longitude
077[deg]57'05'' W; thence north to latitude 34[deg]14'11'' N, longitude
077[deg]57'07'' W; thence northwest to latitude 34[deg]14'22'' N,
longitude 077[deg]57'19'' W; thence west to latitude 34[deg]14'22'' N,
longitude 077[deg]57'06'' W; thence southeast to latitude
34[deg]14'07'' N, longitude 077[deg]57'00'' W; thence south to latitude
34[deg]13'54'' N, longitude 077[deg]56'58'' W; thence to the point of
origin, located approximately 500 yards north of Cape Fear Memorial
Bridge. This safety zone will be established in the vicinity of
Wilmington, NC from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on November 19, 2010. In the
interest of public safety, general navigation within the safety zone
will be restricted during the specified date and times. Except for
participants and vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the
Port, or his or her representative, no person or vessel may enter or
remain in the regulated area.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. Although this regulation restricts access
to a small segment of the Cape Fear River, the effect of this rule will
not be significant because: (i) the safety zone will be in effect for a
limited duration; (ii) the zone is of limited size; and (iii) the Coast
Guard will make notifications via maritime advisories so mariners can
adjust their plans accordingly.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the specified portion of Cape Fear River from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on
November 19, 2010. This rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following
reasons: (1) This rule will be enforced for only one hour on November
19, 2010; (2) Vessel traffic will be able to navigate safely around the
safety zone without significant impact to their transit plans; and (3)
Before the effective period begins, we will issue maritime advisories.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of
the Instruction. This rule involves establishing a safety zone for a
fireworks display launch site and fallout area and is expected to have
no impact on the water or environment. This zone is designed to protect
mariners and spectators from the hazards associated with aerial
fireworks displays.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1657]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. 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). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before February 27, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1657, to
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>
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 Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution

process. SRPs are independent panels of experts in hydrology,
hydraulics, and other pertinent sciences established to review
conflicting scientific and technical data and provide recommendations
for resolution. Use of the SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and
local communities have been engaged in a collaborative consultation
process for at least 60 days without a mutually acceptable resolution
of an appeal. Additional information regarding the SRP process can be
found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
For communities with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies
can be identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM
date listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and
FIS report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA
Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
