SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-72195; File No. SR-CBOE-2014-044]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change Relating to Regulatory Cooperation

May 20, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on May 8, 2014, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (the ``Exchange'' or
``CBOE'') proposes to amend its rules related to regulatory
cooperation. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 15.9(a) to make explicit the
Exchange's authority to enter into information sharing agreements with
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the ``PCAOB'').
    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010 (the ``Dodd-Frank Act'') \3\ amended the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (``Sarbanes-Oxley'') \4\ to give the PCAOB authority to oversee
the audits of brokers and dealers registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ``SEC'' or the ``Commission''). Among other
things, Section 104(a)(2) of Sarbanes-Oxley authorizes the PCAOB to
establish an inspection program by rule. In August 2011, the Commission
approved Temporary Rule 4020T of the PCAOB to implement this new
authority.\5\ By granting the PCAOB regulatory authority over the
audits of registered brokers and dealers, Congress granted the PCAOB
authority to receive financial data and related underlying data about
registered broker-dealers, such as that which would be provided by the
Exchange under the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat 1376 (July 21, 2010).
    \4\ Public Law 107-204, 116 Stat. 745.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65163 (August 18,
2011), 76 FR 52996 (August 24, 2011) (approving PCAOB temporary rule
for an interim program of inspections related to registered public
accounting firm audits of broker-dealers).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has entered into an information sharing agreement with
the PCAOB. The Exchange intends to share, for example, Trading Permit
Holder FOCUS Report \6\ data with the PCAOB.

Under the information sharing agreement, the PCAOB has agreed to treat
all information provided to it by the Exchange as confidential and to
assert such confidentiality and other applicable privileges in response
to requests for such information from third parties.\7\ Under the
agreement shared information may be used by the recipient solely to
fulfill its regulatory duties and purposes. The proposed rule makes
explicit the Exchange's authority to enter into an agreement under such
terms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The ``FOCUS Report (Form X-17A-5) constitutes the basic
financial and operational report required of those brokers or
dealers subject to any minimum net capital requirement set forth in
Rule 15c3-1.'' General Instructions to FOCUS Report Form X-17A-5
Part IIA, OMB Number 3235-0123, available at: http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/formx-17a-5_2a.pdf.
    \7\ The recipient of shared information under the agreement may
provide shared information to the SEC, if the information is
accompanied by a Freedom of Information Act confidential treatment
request, and to other self-regulatory or regulatory organizations
pursuant to information sharing agreements that require the
organizations to maintain the confidentiality of the shared
information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed above, Congress has expressly granted the PCAOB
authority to inspect broker-dealers and the Commission has approved the
PCAOB's interim rule to implement that authority. The Exchange believes
sharing information with the PCAOB, due to its audit oversight role
over broker-dealers, including CBOE Trading Permit Holders, will assist
the PCAOB in performing the oversight intended by Congress, under terms
approved by the Commission.\8\ By explicitly permitting the Exchange to
share confidential information with the PCAOB for the purposes stated
in Rule 15.9, the proposed rule change will therefore make express the
Exchange's authority to assist the PCAOB to fulfill its Congressional
mandate, under terms approved by the Commission. Further, the proposed
rule change will notify Trading Permit Holders of the Exchange's
authority to enter into such information sharing agreements with the
PCAOB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See supra, note 5. The Exchange notes that if Temporary Rule
4020T of the PCAOB is not renewed, the Exchange would no longer have
authority to share information with PCAOB pursuant to CBOE Rule
15.9(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\9\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \10\ requirements that the rules of an 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 regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and 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. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \11\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \11\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change is in the public's interest as it will
explicitly authorize the Exchange to enter into an information sharing
agreement with the PCAOB, thereby facilitating the sharing of
information with the PCAOB. The ability to obtain information from the
Exchange will better enable the PCAOB to perform its functions related
to broker-dealer audit oversight. Better oversight of registered
broker-dealer audits is in the public's interest and will serve to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices. Additionally,
one of the essential purposes of the proposed rule change is to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating and
processing information related to transactions in securities.
    The Exchange also believes the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(1) of the Act,\12\ which provides that the Exchange
be organized and have the capacity to be able to carry out the purposes
of the Act and to enforce compliance by the Exchange's Trading Permit
Holders and persons associated with its Trading Permit Holders with the
Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of the
Exchange. The PCAOB has agreed to reciprocate in sharing information of
regulatory interest to the Exchange, which will provide the Exchange
with more tools and information to enforce compliance by Trading Permit
Holders and persons associated with Trading Permit Holders. As further
evidence of its intent to reciprocate in sharing information with the
Exchange, the PCAOB has filed a proposed change to its Rule 5108 to
``conform to the Dodd-Frank amendments that permit the [PCAOB] to share
confidential information with `a self-regulatory organization, with
respect to an audit report for a broker or dealer that is under the
jurisdiction of such self-regulatory organization.''' \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \13\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-71237 (January
6, 2014), 79 FR 6272 (February 3, 2014) (notice of filing of
proposed rules on amendments to conform the PCAOB's rules and forms
to the Dodd-Frank Act and make certain updates and clarifications).
The Commission notes that it has since taken action on the PCAOB
proposal. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72087 (May 2,
2014), 79 FR 26491 (May 8, 2014) (File No. PCAOB-2013-03) (notice of
filing of Amendment No. 1, and order granting accelerated approval).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is not
designed to address any competitive issues but rather is designed to
facilitate the sharing of information between PCAOB and the Exchange to
better enable each to fulfill its respective regulatory duties and
responsibilities.

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

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

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

    Because the foregoing rule does not (i) significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, provided that the self-regulatory organization
has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change at least five business days prior to the date of
filing of the proposed rule change or such shorter time as designated
by the Commission,\14\ the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\16\ At any time within 60 days of the filing of such
proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend
such rule change if it appears to the

Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X-17F-1A, SEC File No. 270-29, OMB
Control No. 3235-0037.

    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 17f-
1(c) (17 CFR 240.17f-1(c) and Form X-17F-1A (17 CFR 249.100) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17f-1(c) requires approximately 15,500 entities in the
securities industry to report lost, stolen, missing, or counterfeit
securities certificates to the Commission or its designee, to a
registered transfer agent for the issue, and, when criminal activity is
suspected, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Such entities are
required to use Form X-17F-1A to make such reports. Filing these
reports fulfills a statutory requirement that reporting institutions
report and inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen
securities. Since these reports are compiled in a central database, the
rule facilitates reporting institutions to access the database that
stores information for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program.
    We estimate that 10,100 reporting institutions will report that
securities certificates are either missing, lost, counterfeit, or
stolen annually and that each reporting institution will submit this
report 30 times each year. The staff estimates that the average amount
of time necessary to comply with Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X17F-1A is five
minutes per submission. The total burden is 25,250 hours annually for
the entire industry (10,100 times 30 times 5 divided by 60).
    Rule 17f-1(c) is a reporting rule and does not specify a retention
period. The rule requires an incident-based reporting requirement by
the reporting institutions when securities certificates are discovered
to be missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen. Registering under Rule
17f-1(c) is mandatory to obtain the benefit of a central database that
stores information about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen
securities for the Lost and Stolen Securities Program. Reporting
institutions required to register under Rule 17f-1(c) will not be kept
confidential; however, the Lost and Stolen Securities Program database
will be kept confidential.
    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 website: 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 protected] and (ii) Charles Riddle, Acting Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o
Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an

DALDO presents the workshop to help achieve objectives set forth in
section

406 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (21
U.S.C. 393), which include working closely with stakeholders and
maximizing the availability and clarity of information to stakeholders
and the public. This is consistent with the purposes of ORA's Small
Business Representative Program, which are in part to respond to
industry inquiries, develop educational materials, and sponsor
workshops and conferences to provide firms, particularly small
businesses, with firsthand working knowledge of FDA's requirements and
compliance policies. The workshop is also consistent with the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-
121), as outreach activities by government agencies to small
businesses.
    The goal of the public workshop is to present information that will
enable manufacturers and regulated industry to better comply with
labeling requirements, especially in light of growing concerns about
obesity and food allergens. Information presented will be based on
agency position as articulated through regulation, compliance policy
guides, and information previously made available to the public. Topics
to be discussed at the workshop include the following: (1) Mandatory
label elements, (2) the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection
Act of 2004, (3) nutrition labeling requirements, (4) health and
nutrition claims, and (5) special labeling issues such as exemptions.
FDA expects that participation in the public workshop will provide
regulated industry with greater understanding of the agency's
regulatory and policy perspectives on food labeling and increase
voluntary compliance with labeling requirements.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0817; Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-046-AD;
Amendment 39-16020; AD 2009-19-03]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace Regional Aircraft
Model HP.137 Jetstream Mk.1, Jetstream Series 200 and 3101, and
Jetstream Model 3201 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above that will supersede an existing AD. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as:

    BAE Systems have been notified by the main landing gear (MLG)
radius rod manufacturer, APPH Ltd, that a batch of incorrectly
manufactured Buffer Springs (part number 184818) has been supplied
to their parts distributor and maintenance and repair organisation
(MRO) facilities in North America.
    There is a risk that any radius rod fitted with one of these
incorrectly manufactured Buffer Springs could jam in an unlocked
position. This condition, if not corrected, could result in MLG
collapse and consequent injury to occupants of the aeroplane. EASA
issued AD 2009-0121-E to require the replacement of the affected
radius rods.
    BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 32-A-
JA090640 Revision 2 (the ASB) has now been issued, which identifies
an additional seven affected radius rods by serial number (s/n).

This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 5, 2009.
    On October 5, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of British Aerospace Jetstream Series
3100 and 3200 Alert Service Bulletin 32-A-JA090640, Revision 2, dated
August 11, 2009, listed in this AD.
    As of June 26, 2009 (74 FR 29936, June 24, 2009), the Director of
the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of British
Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and 3200 Alert Service Bulletin 32-A-
JA090640, dated June 2009 (includes an attached Accomplishment Report),
and APPH Ltd. Service Bulletins 1847-32-14 and 1862-32-14, as
applicable, both dated June 2009, listed in this AD.
    We must receive comments on this AD by October 29, 2009.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On June 18, 2009, we issued AD 2009-13-10, Amendment 39-15949 (74
FR 29936; June 24, 2009). That AD required actions intended to address
an unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2009-13-10, British Aerospace Regional Aircraft
has issued revised service information which identifies an additional
seven affected radius rods by serial number.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Emergency AD No. 2009-0181-E, dated August 12, 2009 (referred to after
this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    BAE Systems have been notified by the main landing gear (MLG)
radius rod manufacturer, APPH Ltd, that a batch of incorrectly
manufactured Buffer Springs (part number 184818) has been supplied
to their parts distributor and maintenance and repair organisation
(MRO) facilities in North America.
    There is a risk that any radius rod fitted with one of these
incorrectly manufactured Buffer Springs could jam in an unlocked
position. This condition, if not corrected, could result in MLG
collapse and consequent injury to occupants of the aeroplane. EASA
issued AD 2009-0121-E to require the replacement of the affected
radius rods.
    BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 32-A-
JA090640 Revision 2 (the ASB) has now been issued, which identifies
an additional seven affected radius rods by serial number (s/n).
    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the
requirements of AD 2009-0121-E, which is superseded, and expands the
applicability to include the replacement of the additional units.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    British Aerospace Regional Aircraft has issued:
     British Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and 3200 Alert
Service Bulletin 32-A-JA090640, dated June 2009 (includes an attached
Accomplishment Report);
     British Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and 3200 Alert
Service Bulletin 32-A-JA090640, Revision 2, dated August 11, 2009
(includes an attached Accomplishment Report); and
     APPH Ltd. Service Bulletins 1847-32-14 and 1862-32-14,
both dated June 2009.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in

general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might have also required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
described in a separate paragraph of the AD. These requirements take
precedence over those copied from the MCAI.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because we
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design. Therefore, we
determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making
this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-0817; Directorate
Identifier 2009-CE-046-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15949 (74 FR
29936; June 24, 2009), and adding the following new AD:

2009-19-03 British Aerospace Regional Aircraft: Amendment 39-16020;
Docket No. FAA-2009-0817; Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-046-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective October
5, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2009-13-10; Amendment 39-15949.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Model HP.137 Jetstream Mk.1, Jetstream
Series 200 and 3101, and Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes, all serial
numbers, certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 32: Landing
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    BAE Systems have been notified by the main landing gear (MLG)
radius rod manufacturer, APPH Ltd, that a batch of incorrectly
manufactured Buffer Springs (part number 184818) has been supplied
to their parts distributor and maintenance- and repair organisation
(MRO) facilities in North America.
    There is a risk that any radius rod fitted with one of these
incorrectly manufactured Buffer Springs could jam in an unlocked
position. This condition, if not corrected, could result in MLG
collapse and consequent injury to occupants of the aeroplane. EASA
issued AD 2009-0121-E to require the replacement of the affected
radius rods.
    BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 32-A-
JA090640 Revision 2 (the ASB) has now been issued, which identifies
an additional seven affected radius rods by serial number (s/n).
    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the
requirements of AD 2009-0121-E, which is superseded, and expands the
applicability to include the replacement of the additional units.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) Before further flight after October 5, 2009 (the effective
date of this AD) inspect the main landing gear (MLG) radius rods to
identify if you have part number (P/N) 1847/D through 1847/N and
1862/D through 1862/N with one of the affected serial numbers listed
in British Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and 3200 Alert Service
Bulletin 32-A-JA090640, Revision 2, dated August 11, 2009. Perform
the inspection following British Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and
3200 Alert Service Bulletin 32-A-JA090640, Revision 2, dated August
11, 2009. Only paragraphs (f)(3) and (f)(4) of this AD apply to you
if one or both of the following exists:
    (i) If you do not have one of the affected P/Ns installed; and/
or
    (ii) If you can positively show (maintenance records) that,
during the inspection required by AD 2009-13-10, none of the serial
number radius rods listed in

British Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and 3200 Alert Service
Bulletin 32-A-JA090640, Revision 2, dated August 11, 2009, are
installed.
    (2) If as a result of the inspection required in paragraph
(f)(1) of this AD you find one of the affected P/N MLG radius rods
installed on the airplane, before further flight, install one of the
following MLG radius rods:
    (i) A serviceable MLG radius rod that is not in one of the
following P/N ranges: 1847/D through 1847/N or 1862/D through 1862/
N; or
    (ii) An affected P/N MLG radius rod that has already been
inspected following APPH Ltd. Service Bulletin 1847-32-14 or 1862-
32-14, as applicable, both dated June 2009, and found to be
serviceable.
    (3) As of October 5, 2009 (the effective date of this AD), do
not install an affected part number MLG radius rod unless it has
been inspected following APPH Ltd. Service Bulletin 1847-32-14 or
1862-32-14, as applicable, both dated June 2009, and found to be
serviceable.

    Note 1: The inspection requirements of paragraph (f)(3) above
apply to any replacement required per AD 2007-21-17.

    (4) Within 30 days after the inspection required in paragraph
(f)(1) of this AD, send an Accomplishment (Inspection) Report to BAE
Systems following the instructions in paragraph 2.C of British
Aerospace Jetstream Series 3100 and 3200 Alert Service Bulletin 32-
A-JA090640, Revision 2, dated August 11, 2009. Include the details
of any radius rods removed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit filed by the
Plaintiffs seeking to compel the Administrator to take actions under
CAA section 505(b)(2). Under the terms of the proposed consent decree,
EPA would agree to sign its response granting or denying the petition
filed by Plaintiffs regarding the Yuhuang methanol manufacturing plant
located in St. James, Louisiana, pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the

    Under the terms of the proposed consent decree, EPA would
expeditiously deliver notice of EPA's response to the Office of the
Federal Register for review and publication following signature of such
response. In addition, the proposed consent decree outlines the
procedure for the Plaintiffs to request costs of litigation, including
attorney fees.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the
proposed consent decree from persons who are not named as parties or
intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of
Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed consent decree
if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the Department of
Justice determines that consent to this consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the consent decree will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

A. How can I get a copy of the consent decree?

Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the

contents of the official public docket, and access those documents in
the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket identification number then select
``search.''
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at http://www.regulations.gov without change,
unless the comment contains copyrighted material, confidential business
information (CBI), or other information whose disclosure is restricted
by statute. Information claimed as CBI and other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute is not included in the official
public docket or in the electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that
copyrighted material, including copyrighted material contained in a

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54113 File No. SR-ISE-2006-24]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
Inc.; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1
Thereto and Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval to
Amendments No. 2 and 3 Thereto To Permit the Listing and Trading of
Quarterly Options Series

July 7, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On May 2, 2006, the International Securities Exchange, Inc.
(``ISE'' 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 initiate a one-year pilot
program that would allow the Exchange to list and trade options series
that expire at the close of business on the last business day of a
calendar quarter (``Quarterly Options Series''). The Exchange filed
Amendment No. 1 with the Commission on May 17, 2006.\3\ The amended
proposal was published for comment in the Federal Register on June 1,
2006.\4\ No comments were received regarding the amended proposal. The
Exchange filed Amendments No. 2 and 3 with the Commission on July 6,
2006, and July 7, 2006, respectively.\5\ This notice and order approves
the proposed rule change and Amendment No. 1 thereto, solicits comment
on Amendments No. 2 and 3, and approves Amendments No. 2 and 3 on an
accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ In Amendment No. 1, a partial amendment, the Exchange made
minor modifications to the proposed rule text.
    \4\  See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53857 (May 24,
2006), 71 FR 31246 (``Notice'').
    \5\ In Amendment No. 2, a partial amendment, the Exchange
modified the provision of the proposed rule text under which the
Exchange may list additional strike prices for Quarterly Options
Series. In Amendment No. 3, a partial amendment, the Exchange
modified the proposed rule text to provide that the Exchange may
list Quarterly Options Series with strike prices that are within
$5.00 from the closing price of the underlying security on the
preceding trading day. See discussion in Part II, infra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of Proposed Rule

    ISE proposes to amend its rules to establish a pilot program to
list and trade Quarterly Options Series, which would expire at the
close of business on the last business day of a calendar quarter
(``Pilot Program''). Under the proposal, the Exchange could select up
to five approved options classes \6\ on which Quarterly Options Series
could be opened. A series could be opened on any business day and would
expire at the close of business on the last business day of a calendar
quarter. The Exchange also could list and trade Quarterly Options
Series on any options class that is selected by another exchange that
employs a similar pilot program. For each class selected for the Pilot
Program, the Exchange would list series that expire at the end of the
next four consecutive calendar quarters, as well as the fourth quarter
of the following calendar year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Quarterly Options Series may be opened on indexes or on
Exchange Traded Funds that satisfy the applicable listing criteria
under ISE rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Quarterly Options Series listed on currently approved options
classes would be P.M. settled and, in all other respects, would settle
in the same manner as do the monthly expiration series in the same
options class.
    The strike price for each series would be fixed at a price per
share, with two strike prices above and two strike prices below the
value of the underlying security at about the time that a Quarterly
Options Series is opened for trading on the Exchange. The interval
between strike prices on Quarterly Options Series would be the same as
the interval between strike prices for series in the same options class
that expire in accordance with the normal monthly expiration cycles. In
Amendment No. 3,

the Exchange proposes rule text providing that the series listed by the
Exchange under the Pilot Program would have strike prices that are
within $5.00 from the closing price of the underlying security on the
preceding trading day.
    The proposal would permit the Exchange to open for trading
additional Quarterly Options Series of the same class when the Exchange
deems it necessary to maintain an orderly market, to meet customer
demand, or when the market price of the underlying security moves
substantially from the initial exercise price or prices. In Amendment
No. 2, the Exchange proposes rule text that provides that any
additional series opened for trading by the Exchange would be priced
within $5.00 of the closing price of the underlying security on the
preceding trading day.
    ISE proposes that the Pilot Program extend one year from the date
the Exchange first initiates trading in a Quarterly Options Series,
which, as per the proposed rules, would be no later than July 24,
2006.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See ISE Proposed Rules 504, Supplementary Material .03, and
2009, Supplementary Material .02.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposal, as
amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\8\ In particular, the Commission believes that the proposal
is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\
which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national
securities exchange be designed to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 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).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that allowing the Exchange to list and
trade Quarterly Options Series, under the terms described in the
Exchange's proposal, should provide investors with new means of
managing their risk exposures and carrying out their investment
objectives. The Commission notes that the Pilot Program limits the
series that may be opened pursuant to the Pilot Program by requiring
them to have strike prices within $5.00 of the closing price of the
underlying security on the preceding trading day. The Commission
believes this restriction should allow the exchange to offer a wider
array of investment opportunities, while minimizing the impact on
quotation message traffic. The Commission also notes that the proposal
requires the Exchange to closely monitor the trading and quotation
volume associated with the additional options series created under the
Pilot Program and the effect of these additional series on the capacity
of the Exchange's, OPRA's, and vendors' systems.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ If the Exchange were to propose an extension, expansion, or
permanent approval of the Pilot Program, the Exchange would be
required to submit a report on the Pilot Program to the Commission
at least 60 days prior to the Pilot Program expiration date. See
Notice, supra note 4, at 31248.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ the Commission finds
good cause for approving the amended proposal prior to the thirtieth
day after the publication of Amendments No. 2 and 3 in the Federal
Register. Amendments No. 2 and 3 modify the proposed rule text by
placing restrictions on the series the Exchange may open for trading in
an approved class. Any series opened for trading pursuant to the Pilot
Program would have strike prices within $5.00 of the closing price of
the underlying security on the preceding trading day. This restriction
is modeled after the identical provision previously approved as part of
the Exchange's $1 Strike Pilot Program, and thus raises no new issues
of regulatory concern.\12\ The Commission finds good cause to
accelerate approval of the amended proposal because it believes this
restriction should help to minimize the Pilot Program's impact on
quotation message traffic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \12\ See ISE Rule 504(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Act,\13\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-ISE-2006-24), as
amended, is approved, and that Amendments No. 2 and 3 thereto are
approved on an accelerated basis, as a pilot program for a one-year
period commencing on the day the Exchange first initiates trading in a
Quarterly Options Series, which, as per the proposed rules, would be no
later than July 24, 2006.\14\
