SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56842; File No. SR-NYSE-2007-77]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2,
and 3 Thereto, To Amend Listing Fees for Structured Products

November 27, 2007.
    On August 24, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend certain provisions of its Listed Company
Manual (``Manual'') governing structured product fees. Except as
described below, the proposed changes would apply retroactively as of
October 3, 2007. On October 3, 2007, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1
to the proposed rule change. On October 12, 2007, the Exchange filed
Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change. On October 22, 2007, the
Exchange filed Amendment No. 3 to the proposed rule change. The
proposed rule change and Amendments Nos. 1, 2, and 3 thereto were
published for comment in the Federal Register on October 26, 2007.\3\
The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2,
and 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56688 (October 23,
2007), 72 FR 60924.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 902.06 of the Manual sets forth the listing and annual fees
for ``short-term'' securities, i.e., those having a term of seven years
or less. The Exchange proposes to revise Section 902.06 to clarify the
scope of the rule's coverage. For example, proposed Section 902.06
excludes from its coverage certain short-term securities--namely,
securities listed pursuant to Sections 703.15 (Foreign Currency
Warrants and Currency Index Warrants), 703.17 (Stock Index Warrants
Listing Standards), and 703.22 (Equity Index-Linked Securities,
Commodity-Linked Securities and Currency-Linked Securities and
Currency-Linked Securities)--that would instead be subject to lower
fees set forth in proposed new Section 902.09.
    The proposed listing fees applicable to securities subject to
Section 902.09 of Manual are based on the total number of shares
outstanding. The proposed fees would apply each time an issuer lists a
security of one of the classes specified in Section 902.09 of the
Manual and also to subsequent listings of additional shares of the same
security. The Exchange would treat each series of the security as a
separate issue. Proposed Section 902.09 would also establish annual
fees based on the total number of shares outstanding. The proposed
annual fees would be billed in January for the forthcoming year.
Additionally, a $2,500 fee for certain changes that involve
modifications to Exchange records would apply.
    The Exchange also proposes to amend Section 902.05 of the Manual to
provide that the fees applicable to: (1) Structured products listed
under the debt criteria set out in Section 703.19 (Other Securities)
and traded on NYSE Bonds are set forth in Section 902.08 (Listings Fees
for Debt Securities); and (2) short-term structured products are set
forth in Section 902.06.
    Additionally, the Exchange seeks to codify its existing practice
whereby it applies the fee schedules set forth in Sections 902.05 and
902.06 of the Manual to securities listed pursuant to Sections 703.15,
703.17 and 703.22 of the Manual. However, Sections 902.05 and 902.06 of
the Manual do not identify Sections 703.15, 703.17 and 703.22 as
securities to which the fees would apply. Through this proposed rule
change, the Exchange proposes to apply retroactively for the period
from June 7, 2006 to October 2, 2007 the fee schedules set forth in
Sections 902.05 and 902.06 of the Manual to all securities previously
listed pursuant to Sections 703.15, 703.17 and 703.22 of the Manual.
Therefore, beginning October 3, 2007, all securities listed pursuant to
Sections 703.15, 703.17 and 703.22 of the Manual would be subject to
the fee schedule set forth in Section 902.09 of the Manual.
    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\4\ In
particular, the Commission believes that the proposal is consistent
with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which requires, among other things,
that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to provide
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its
facilities. The Commission notes that no comments have been received
regarding the proposed rule change, and that the proposed fees are
similar to those it approved for the American Stock Exchange LLC.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 45403 (February 6,
2002), 67 FR 6553 (February 12, 2002) (SR-Amex-2001-100).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\7\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSE-2007-77), as
modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, and 3 thereto, be, and hereby is,
approved.

Background

    The ANAC, which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued
ANAC AD 2023-03-01, effective March 6, 2023 (ANAC AD 2023-03-01) (also
referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for certain
Embraer S.A. Model EMB-135BJ airplanes. The MCAI states that missing
sealant was identified on the rivets installed in the interface between
rib 3 and the wing skin in some Embraer Model EMB-135BJ airplanes. The
lack of sealant when a failure on the rivet installation exists may
result in a potential ignition source inside the fuel tank during a
lightning strike, which, combined with flammable fuel vapors, could
result in a

fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1807.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    ANAC AD 2023-03-01 specifies procedures for applying sealant on the
rivets installed in the interface between rib 3 and wing skin.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in ANAC AD 2023-03-01 described previously, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate ANAC AD 2023-03-01 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
ANAC AD 2023-03-01 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Service information required by ANAC AD 2023-03-01
for compliance will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No.
FAA-2023-1807 after the FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 10 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Labor cost                Parts cost           Cost per product           Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 7 work-hours x $85 per hour =              $0  Up to $595...................  Up to $5,950.
 $595.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF15-22-000]

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Planned Equitrans Expansion Project, and
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will discuss the potential environmental effects of the
Equitrans Expansion Project (EEP, or Project) involving construction
and operation of facilities by Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) in
Allegheny, Washington, and Green Counties, Pennsylvania and Wetzel
County, West Virginia, in the Commission's environmental impact
statement (EIS) currently under preparation for the planned Mountain
Valley Pipeline (MVP) Project (FERC Docket No. PF15-3-000). The Project
is designed to transport natural gas from the northern portion of
Equitrans' system south to a future interconnection with MVP, as well
as existing interconnects on the southern portion of Equitrans' system
with Texas Eastern Transmission, LP and Dominion Transmission, Inc.
Because of the interconnection with MVP, the Commission staff will
evaluate the two projects jointly in the EIS. This EIS will be used by
the Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the
MVP and EEP Projects are in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the EEP. You can make a difference by providing us with
your specific comments or concerns about the Project. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they
need to evaluate in the EIS. To ensure that your comments are timely
and properly recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or before September 14, 2015.
    If you sent comments on the EEP to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on April 9, 2015, you will need to re-file those
comments in Docket No. PF15-22-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding. This scoping period is established to receive
comments on the EEP, and comments previously filed with the FERC
regarding the MVP Project should not be refiled under the EEP docket.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this planned
Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a representative of
Equitrans may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the Project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses
a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to

participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has expert staff available to assist you at
(202) 502-8258 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please carefully follow these
instructions so that your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;

feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a
variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your submission.
New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on
``eRegister.'' If you are filing a comment on a particular project,
please select ``Comment on a Filing'' as the filing type; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address. Be sure to reference the project docket number
(PF15-22-000) with your submission: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A,
Washington, DC 20426.

Summary of the Planned Project

    According to Equitrans, the EEP is designed to allow shippers the
flexibility of transporting up to 600,000 dekatherms per day of natural
gas produced in the Appalachian Basin to potential markets in the
Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeastern United States. The EEP would
consist of the following facilities:
     A new 3.0-mile-long, 30-inch-diameter pipeline and a new
4.2-mile-long, 20-inch-diameter pipeline in Allegheny and Washington
Counties Pennsylvania (H-316 Pipeline and H-318 Pipeline);
     a new Redhook Compressor Station, to replace the existing
Pratt Compressor Station in Green County, Pennsylvania;
     an interconnect with the planned MVP Project and a tap on
Equitrans' existing H-302 pipeline in Wetzel County, West Virginia
(Webster Interconnection and Mobley Tap);
     a new extension of an existing 6-inch-diameter pipeline
and an existing 12-inch-diameter pipeline extending for 0.2-mile in
Green County, Pennsylvania (M-80 Pipeline and H-158 Pipeline);
     a new approximately 200-foot-long, 16-inch-diameter
pipeline in Wetzel County, West Virginia (H-319 Pipeline);
     a new approximately 55-foot-long extension of an existing
12-inch pipeline in Green County, Pennsylvania (H-305 Pipeline);
     pig launchers and receivers; \1\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     four meter and regulation stations.
    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
1.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned facilities would disturb approximately
207 acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipelines.
Following construction, Equitrans would maintain approximately 64 acres
for permanent operation of the Project's facilities; the remaining
acreage would be restored and revert to former uses. The actual acreage
affected will be determined more precisely as Project design proceeds
and likely will increase above these preliminary estimates.

The EIS Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The NEPA also requires
us \2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EIS on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EIS. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EIS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The pronouns ``we'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the
environmental staff of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     water resources and wetlands;
     cultural resources;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     cultural resources;
     land use, recreation, and visual resources;
     air quality and noise;
     public safety; and
     cumulative impacts.
    The EIS will present our independent analysis of the issues. We
will evaluate possible alternatives to the planned Project or portions
of the Project. For specific resources, we would make recommendations
on how to avoid, minimize, or mitigate impacts, in addition to the
measures proposed by Equitrans.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our environmental review under the Commission's pre-filing
process. The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early
involvement of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve
issues before the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-
filing review, we have begun to contact some federal and state agencies
to discuss their involvement in the scoping process and the preparation
of the EIS.
    We will publish and distribute the draft EIS for public comment.
After the comment period, we will consider all timely comments and
revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. To
ensure we have the opportunity to consider and address your comments,
please carefully follow the instructions in the Public Participation
section of this notice.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to this project to formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EIS.\3\ Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S.
Department of Transportation, West Virginia Department of Natural
Resources, and the West Virginia Department of Environment Protection
have already agreed to be cooperating agencies in the development of
the EIS for the MVP Project.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the

applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s), and to solicit their
views and those of other government agencies, interested Indian tribes,
and the public on the Project's potential effects on historic
properties.\4\ We will define the Project-specific Area of Potential
Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO(s) as the Project develops.
On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses all
areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include construction
right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor stations, and
access roads). Our EIS for this Project will document our findings on
the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of
consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the planned facilities and
the environmental information provided by Equitrans. This preliminary
list of issues may change based on your comments and our analysis:
     Steep slopes;
     erosion control;
     alternatives and their potential impacts on a range of
resources; and
     cumulative impacts.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Indian Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for Project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the Project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
planned Project.
    Copies of the completed draft EIS will be sent to the environmental
mailing list for public review and comment. If you would prefer to
receive a paper copy of the document instead of the compact disc
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Equitrans files its application with the Commission, you may
want to become an ``intervenor,'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Motions to intervene are more fully described at

Amendment 39-22462; AD 2023-12-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This AD

the weather radar redundant wiring, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference
(IBR). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 7, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference

of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 7, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain serial-numbered
Pilatus Model PC-24 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on April 14, 2023 (88 FR 22928). The NPRM was prompted by EASA
AD 2022-0249, dated December 14, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0249) (referred to
after this as the MCAI). The MCAI states an occurrence was reported
where an incorrect wiring arrangement was detected around the weather
radar system on certain Pilatus Model PC-24 airplanes. In case of a
lightning strike, the functionalities related to the Advanced Graphic
Module (AGM) 1 and AGM2, the Dual Generic Input/Output (DGI0) 1 card in
the Modular Avionics Unit (MAU) 1 module of the Honeywell Advanced
Cockpit Environment (ACE) system, and the Attitude Heading Reference
System (AHRS) 2 could be affected. The MCAI specifies modification of
the weather radar redundant wiring.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-0926.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require modifying the weather
radar redundant wiring. The FAA is issuing this AD to address an
incorrect wiring arrangement around the weather radar system. The
unsafe condition, if not addressed, could, in the case of a lightning
strike, lead to the partial loss of flight and navigation data
displayed to the pilot or pilots, possibly resulting in increased
flight crew workload and a consequent reduction of safety margins.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and
determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is
adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0249 requires modification of the weather radar
redundant wiring.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 12 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modification..........................  16 work-hours x $85 per           $5,000          $6,360         $76,320
                                         hour = $1,360.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:

    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been substantially prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is
publishing this notice and order to solicit comments on the proposal
from interested persons and to approve the proposal on an accelerated
basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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, through its wholly owned subsidiary NYSE Arca
Equities, Inc. (``NYSE Arca Equities'') proposes to trade shares
(``Shares'') of the following Index Funds (``Funds'') pursuant to
unlisted trading privileges (``UTP'') based on NYSE Arca Equities Rule
5.2(j)(3):

     iShares MSCI Belgium (Symbol: EWK)
     iShares MSCI France (EWQ)
     iShares MSCI Hong Kong (EWH)
     iShares MSCI Italy (EWI)
     iShares MSCI Japan (EWJ)
     iShares MSCI Malaysia (EWM)
     iShares MSCI Netherlands (EWN)
     iShares MSCI Singapore (EWS)
     iShares MSCI Spain (EWP)
     iShares MSCI Sweden (EWD)
     iShares MSCI Switzerland (EWL)
     iShares MSCI United Kingdom (EWU).

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site (http://www.nysearca.com), at the principal office of the

Exchange, 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 III 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 is proposing to trade the Shares pursuant to UTP. Each
Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price
and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of publicly traded
securities in the aggregate in the respective country's markets, as
measured by the applicable MSCI Index (each, an ``Index''). Each MSCI
Index is calculated by Morgan Stanley Capital Investment (``MSCI'') and
consists of stocks traded primarily on the respective country's stock
exchange. Information regarding the largest stocks and industry
categories in each Index can be found in the iShares MSCI Series
prospectus, which is available via the iShares Web site (http://www.ishares.com
). Each Fund uses a representative sampling strategy to

track the applicable Index and normally will invest at least 95% of its
total assets in stocks that are represented in the relevant Index and
will at all times invest at least 90% of its total assets in such
stocks.
    The Commission previously approved the original listing and trading
of the Shares of the Funds on the American Stock Exchange, LLC
(``Amex'').\3\ The Commission subsequently approved listing of the
Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'').\4\ 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. The trading hours for the Shares on the Exchange
are the same as those set forth in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.34, except
that the iShares MSCI Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom Index Funds will not trade
during the Opening Session (4 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time) unless
the Indicative Optimized Portfolio Value (``IOPV'') is calculated and
disseminated during that time. The iShares MSCI Hong Kong, Japan,
Malaysia, and Singapore Index Funds will trade during the Opening
Session since there is no overlap in trading hours of the Opening
Session and the foreign markets trading the applicable Index
securities. The last calculated IOPV for each of these four Funds is
available to investors during the Opening Session through facilities of
the Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') or major market data
vendors. These IOPVs are unchanged during the Opening Session from
their last calculated value.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 36947 (March 8,
1996), 61 FR 10606 (March 14, 1996) (SR-Amex-95-43). The Funds were
formerly known as World Equity Benchmark Shares or WEBS.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52816 (November 21,
2005), 70 FR 71574 (November 29, 2005) (SR-NYSE-2005-70).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Quotations for and last sale information regarding the Shares for
each Fund are disseminated through the Consolidated Quotation System.
The MSCI Index on which each Fund is based is calculated by MSCI for
each trading day in the applicable foreign market based on official
closing prices in such markets. The value of each underlying MSCI Index
is updated intra-day on a real-time basis as individual component
securities of each underlying Index change in price. The intra-day
values of these MSCI Indices are disseminated every 15 seconds
throughout the trading day by organizations authorized by MSCI. The net
asset value (``NAV'') of each Fund is calculated and disseminated each
business day, normally at the close of regular trading of the NYSE.
    To provide updated information relating to each Fund for use by
investors, professionals, and persons wishing to create or redeem the
Shares, NYSE disseminates through the facilities of the CTA the IOPV
for each Fund as calculated by Bloomberg, L.P. The IOPV is disseminated
on a per-share basis every 15 seconds during regular NYSE trading hours
of 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
    The IOPV may not reflect the value of all securities included in
the applicable underlying Index. In addition, the IOPV does not
necessarily reflect the precise composition of the current portfolio of
securities held by each Fund at a particular point in time. Therefore,
the IOPV on a per-share basis disseminated during NYSE's regular
trading hours should not be viewed as a real-time update of the NAV of
a particular Fund, which is calculated only once a day. The IOPV is
intended to closely approximate the value per share of the portfolio of
securities for a Fund and provide for a close proxy of the NAV at a
greater frequency for investors.
    For the iShares MSCI Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore
Index Funds, there is no overlap in trading hours between the foreign
markets and NYSE. Therefore, for these Funds, the IOPV is calculated
based on closing prices in the principal foreign market for securities
in the Funds' portfolios, which are then converted from the applicable
foreign currency to U.S. dollars. This IOPV is updated every 15 seconds
during NYSE regular trading hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. E.T. to
reflect changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and
the applicable foreign currency.
    The iShares MSCI Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom Index Funds include companies
trading in markets with trading hours overlapping regular NYSE trading
hours. For these Funds, the IOPV calculator updates the IOPV during the
overlap period every 15 seconds to reflect price changes in the
principal foreign market, and converts such prices into U.S. dollars
based on the current currency exchange rate. When the foreign market or
markets are closed but NYSE is open for trading, the IOPV is updated
every 15 seconds to reflect changes in currency exchange rates.
    The Commission has granted each Fund an exemption from certain
prospectus delivery requirements under Section 24(d) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (``1940 Act'').\5\ Any product description used in
reliance on the Section 24(d) exemptive order will comply with all
representations made and all conditions contained in the Funds'
application for orders under the 1940 Act.\6\

    \6\ See In the Matter of iShares, Inc., et al., Investment
Company Act Release No. 25623 (June 25, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In connection with the trading of the Shares, the Exchange would
inform ETP Holders in an Information Circular of the special
characteristics and risks associated with trading the Shares, including
how Shares are created and redeemed, the prospectus or product
description delivery requirements applicable to the Shares, applicable
Exchange rules, how information about the value of each underlying
Index is disseminated, and trading information.
    In addition, before an ETP Holder recommends a transaction in the
Shares, the ETP Holder must determine the Shares are suitable for the
customer, as required by NYSE Arca Equities Rule 9.2(a)-(b).
    The Exchange intends to utilize its existing surveillance
procedures applicable to derivative products to monitor trading in the
Shares. The Exchange represents that these procedures are adequate to
monitor Exchange trading of the Shares.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \7\ in general and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ in
particular in that it is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove
impediments and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market, and
to protect investors and the public interest. In addition, the Exchange
believes that the proposal is consistent with Rule 12f-5 under the Act
\9\ because it 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.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
the Proposed Rule Change

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\10\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \11\ which
requires that an exchange have rules designed, among other things, 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 believes that this proposal should benefit
investors by increasing competition among markets that trade the
Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it
has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent
with Section 12(f) of the Act,\12\ which permits an exchange to trade,
pursuant to UTP, a security that is listed and registered on another
exchange.\13\ The Commission notes that it previously approved the
listing and trading of the Shares on Amex and subsequently on NYSE.\14\
The Commission also finds that the proposal is consistent with Rule
12f-5 under the Act,\15\ which provides that an exchange shall not
extend UTP to a security unless the exchange has in effect a rule or
rules providing for transactions in the class or type of security to
which the exchange extends UTP. The Exchange has represented that it
meets this requirement because it 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(f).
    \13\ Section 12(a) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 78l(a), generally
prohibits a broker-dealer from trading a security on a national
securities exchange unless the security is registered on that
exchange pursuant to Section 12 of the Act. Section 12(f) of the Act
excludes from this restriction trading in any security to which an
exchange ``extends UTP.'' When an exchange extends UTP to a
security, it allows its members to trade the security as if it were
listed and registered on the exchange even though it is not so
listed and registered.
    \14\ See supra notes 3 and 4.
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.12f-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission further believes that the proposal is consistent
with Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act,\16\ 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. Quotations for and last sale information regarding the
Shares are disseminated through the Consolidated Quotation System.
Furthermore, an IOPV calculator updates the applicable IOPV every 15
seconds to reflect price changes of the applicable Index components in
the principal foreign markets, and converts such prices into U.S.
dollars based on the current currency exchange rate. When the foreign
market or markets are closed but NYSE is open for trading, the IOPV
will be updated every 15 seconds to reflect changes in currency
exchange rates. NYSE Arca Rule 7.34 describes the situations when the
Exchange would halt trading when the IOPV or the value of the Index
underlying one of the Funds is not calculated or widely available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that if the Shares should be delisted by the
listing exchange, the Exchange would no longer have authority to trade
the Shares pursuant to this order.
    In support of this proposal, the Exchange has made the following
representations:
    1. The Exchange's surveillance procedures are adequate to monitor
the trading of the Shares.
    2. In connection with the trading of the Shares, the Exchange would
inform ETP Holders in an Information Circular of the special
characteristics and risks associated with trading the Shares.
    3. The Information Circular would inform participants of the
prospectus or product delivery requirements applicable to the Shares.
    This approval order is conditioned on the Exchange's adherence to
these representations.
    The Commission finds good cause for approving this proposal before
the thirtieth day after the publication of notice thereof in the
Federal Register. As noted previously, the Commission previously found
that the listing and trading of the Shares on Amex and subsequently
NYSE is consistent with the Act. The Commission presently is not aware
of any regulatory issue that should cause it to revisit that earlier
finding or preclude the trading of Shares on the Exchange pursuant to
UTP. Therefore, accelerating approval of this proposal should benefit
investors by creating, without undue delay, additional competition in
the market for the Shares.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\17\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2006-34) is
approved on an accelerated basis.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 104; SEC File No. 270-411, OMB Control No. 3235-0465.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 104
of Regulation M (17 CFR 242.104), under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 104 permits stabilizing by a distribution participant during a
distribution so long as the distribution participant discloses
information to the market and investors. This rule requires disclosure
in offering materials of the potential stabilizing transactions and
that the distribution participant inform the market when a stabilizing
bid is made. It also requires the distribution participants (i.e. the
syndicate manager) to maintain information regarding syndicate covering
transactions and penalty bids and disclose such information to the
Self-Regulatory Organization.
    There are approximately 795 respondents per year that require an
aggregate total of 159 hours to comply with this rule. Each respondent
makes an estimated 1 annual response. Each response takes approximately
0.20 hours (12 minutes) to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden
per year is 159 hours. The total internal labor compliance cost for the
respondents is approximately $10,017.00, resulting in an estimate of
$12.60 (i.e., $10,017.00/795 responses) per response.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief Information
Officer, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549
or by sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be
submitted within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: January 14, 2014.

Deputy Secretary.
