Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

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

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

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

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

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53245; File No. SR-BSE-2006-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed
Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto To Amend and Clarify Its Rules
Governing the Hours of Trading on the Boston Options Exchange

February 7, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on January 11, 2006, the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the BSE. On February 2,
2006, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change.\3\ The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons and to
approve the amended proposal on an accelerated basis.

    \3\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange requested that the
implementation date for the new closing time be changed from
February 1, 2006, as was originally proposed, to February 13, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The BSE proposes to amend and clarify its rules governing its hours
of trading on the Boston Options Exchange (``BOX''). The Exchange
proposes that these changes be implemented on February 13, 2006.\4\ The
text of the proposed rule change, as amended, is available on the BSE's
Web site (http://www.bostonstock.com), at the principal office of the

BSE, 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, as
amended, and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule
change, as amended. 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
    According to the Exchange, the purpose of the proposed rule change,
as amended, is to amend and clarify its rules with respect to the hours
of trading on BOX. Currently, Chapter V, Section 3(a) of BOX's rules
states that the Boston Options Exchange Regulation LLC (``BOXR'') Board
shall determine the days BOX shall be open for options business and the
hours of such days during which options transactions may be made on
BOX. When BOX launched trading in February of 2004, the BOXR Board set
the closing time for the hours of business for options trading on
individual stocks at 4:02 p.m. e.s.t. to conform to the business hours
of the other five options exchanges.\5\ It is the BSE's understanding
that all of the options exchanges collectively have determined to
change their rules to adjust the closing time in options on individual
stocks from 4:02 p.m. e.s.t. to

4 p.m. e.s.t on February 13, 2006.\6\ The BOXR Board intends to pass a
resolution to change the hours of business for options trading on
individual stocks to be 4 p.m. e.s.t., effective on February 13,
2006.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ According to the Exchange, the BOXR Board has also set the
hours of business for options on Fund Shares, as defined in Chapter
4, Section 3(i) of BOX Rules, to be 4:15 p.m. e.s.t.
    \6\ The Exchange represents that it is not currently trading
options on narrow-based indexes, and thus is not proposing changes
at this time related to the hours of trading for narrow-based index
options. However, if the Exchange were to list options on narrow-
based indexes, the Exchange will at that time make necessary changes
regarding the closing time for options on narrow-based indexes.
Telephone conversation between Bill Meehan, Assistant Vice
President, Regulation & Compliance, BOX Regulation, and Cyndi N.
Rodriguez, Special Counsel, Division of Market Regulation
(``Division''), Commission, on February 6, 2006.
    \7\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Exchange, the options exchanges propose to change
their respective hours of business because: (1) The initial rationale
to continue trading options for some limited period of time after the
underlying market close period (which allowed options traders to
respond to late reports of closing prices over the consolidated tape)
is no longer necessary due to improvements in the processing and
reporting of transactions, and (2) it is difficult for the market to
price options when the underlying security is not trading.
    Chapter V, Section 3(b) of BOX's rules further states that
transactions may be effected in an options class on BOX until two (2)
minutes after the primary market on which the underlying security
trades closes for trading. The Exchange proposes to eliminate this
additional language for clarification purposes. By eliminating this
reference that transactions may be effected on BOX until two minutes
after the underlying primary market, the Exchange believes it will
eliminate any confusion as to BOX's hours of business for options on
individual stocks.
    The Exchange notes that if it were to unilaterally modify its
closing time, the existence of dissimilar closing times applicable to
the different options exchanges would likely lead to confusion for
options investors and broker-dealers.
    The Exchange also proposes to update its rules with respect to the
closing time of Fund Shares on BOX. The BOXR Board has set the closing
time of Fund Shares at 4:15 p.m. e.s.t., and Fund Shares will continue
to close at that time. Currently, Chapter V, Section 3(b) of BOX Rules
states that ``Notwithstanding the foregoing, transactions may be
effected in options contracts overlying the Nasdaq 100 Index Trading
Stock[supreg] on BOX until 4:15 p.m.'' \8\ However, this sentence does
not list all of the Fund Shares traded on BOX. This proposal would
clarify that all Fund Shares may trade on BOX until 4:15 p.m. e.s.t. by
using the defined term of Fund Shares, rather than listing specific
options traded until 4:15 p.m. e.s.t.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

President, Regulation & Compliance, BOX Regulation, and Cyndi N.
Rodriguez, Special Counsel, Division, Commission, on February 6,
2006 (correcting the reference to language contained in Chapter V,
Section 3(b) of BOX Rules).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \9\ in general, and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ in particular,
because it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, 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.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

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

    The BSE does not believe that the proposed rule change, as amended,
will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change, as amended.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be

2006-02 and should be submitted on or before March 8, 2006.

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

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.\11\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\12\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the Exchange believes that the need to
continue trading options for some period of time after the close of
trading in the underlying securities markets is no longer necessary
because improvements in the processing and reporting of transactions
have obviated the need to respond to late reports of closing prices
over the consolidated tape in order to bring options quotes in line
with the closing price of the underlying security. Because the two
minute delay between the close of normal trading in equity options and
the corresponding underlying equity markets is no longer necessary, the
Commission believes that eliminating the delay is in the public
interest and appropriate for the protection of investors and the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets. Therefore, the Commission
finds that it is consistent with the Act for the Exchange to amend and
clarify its rules governing the hours of trading of options on
individual stocks on BOX from 4:02 p.m. (e.s.t.) to 4 p.m. (e.s.t.).
    The Commission finds good cause for approving this proposed rule
change, as amended, before the thirtieth day after publication of
notice thereof in the Federal Register. The Commission notes that all
of the options exchanges have filed substantially similar proposals and
seek to implement these industry-wide changes simultaneously on
February 13, 2006.\13\ For example, on December 20, 2005, the
Commission published for comment in the Federal Register a similar
proposed rule change submitted by the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``CBOE'').\14\ The Commission received no comments on the
CBOE's proposed rule change. The Commission believes that the BSE's
proposed rule change, as amended, raises no new issues or novel
regulatory questions. Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\15\ for approving the proposed
rule change, as amended, prior to the thirtieth day after publication
in the Federal Register. In addition, because the existence of
dissimilar closing times among the options exchanges could lead to
confusion for options investors and broker-dealers, the Commission
finds good cause to accelerate approval of the proposed rule change, as
amended, to enable the six options exchanges to simultaneously amend
their hours of trading on an industry-wide basis in a uniform
manner.\16\

V. Conclusion

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by amending Class D airspace at Sault Ste Marie
Airport, Sault Ste Marie, ON, creating additional controlled airspace
to coincide with that portion of the control zone in Canadian airspace.
Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
    Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011 and effective September 15, 2011, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend controlled airspace at Sault Ste Marie Airport, Sault
Ste Marie, ON.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
