Re: Food & Drug Administration, Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189, RIN 0910-AG38 “Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; Regulations on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products.”

Subject: Request for Further Extension of Comment Period
We at Cherry Vape have conducted preliminary review of your lengthy proposed regulations and respectfully request that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) FURTHER EXTEND THE COMMENT PERIOD for the proposed rule entitled “Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention andTobacco Control Act; Regulations on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products.”

Cherry Vape, LLC is small e-cigarette components and e-liquid US manufacturer/distributor and retail shop owner, employing fewer than 350 people.

The initial 75-day comment period does not provide enough time for companies like Cherry Vape to adequately analyze the entire proposal and provide substantive comments on the many questions posed by the agency. We need more time to address this 240-page document whose contents will deal a devastating economic blow to our business.

The preamble to the proposed rule identifies approximately 70 topics and issues the agency has requested comments on. Many of these issues are complex and difficult and relate to an extremely diverse array of products. The components we produce vary by design and color -- more than 70 currently -- and we have hundreds of variations of e-liquid, as well.

Clearly, the lengthy time period that the Agency required to propose these regulations is evidence that the issues addressed in the proposal are multi-faceted and challenging. FDA cannot expect any interested party, and in particular, any manufacturer, to conduct a meaningful review and analysis of these issues and provide detailed and thoughtful comment in such a short time period.

Therefore, Cherry Vape again respectfully requests that FDA extend the comment period by 105 days and agree to accept comments filed to the docket on or before October 22, 2014. This will help ensure that the final rule is based on an adequate and meaningful administrative record. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,
Cheryl L Richter

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-75367; File No. SR-C2-2015-017]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
To Correct an Inaccurate Rule Reference

July 6, 2015.
    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 June 24, 2015, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to correct an inaccurate rule reference in
its Fees Schedule. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the Exchange's Web site (http://www.c2exchange.com/Legal/), 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to make an administrative change to correct
an incorrect rule reference in its Fees Schedule. Specifically, the
Exchange notes it recently streamlined part of its Fees Schedule by
consolidating certain sections in order to make the Fees Schedule
easier to read.\3\ In doing so, the Exchange had to renumber Section 1C
to current Section 1B. The Exchange notes however, that it
inadvertently did not make a corresponding change to the text in
current Section 1B. Specifically, Section 1B still references Section
1C in two places. The Exchange seeks to fix this error and insert the
correct reference (i.e., ``Section 1B''). No substantive changes are
being made by the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 74733 (April 15,
2015), 80 FR 76 [sic] (April 21, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.\4\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \5\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes correcting an inaccurate rule reference will
help to avoid confusion, thereby removing impediments to and perfecting
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system.
Additionally, the Exchange notes that no substantive changes are being
made by the proposed rule change.

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

    C2 does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on intramarket or intermarket competition that is not necessary
or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed
change to correct an inaccurate rule reference and alleviate confusion
is not intended for competitive reasons and only applies to C2. The
Exchange also notes that no rights or obligations of Permit Holders are
affected by the change.

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

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

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)

of the Act \6\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \7\ thereunder. At any
time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such
action, the Commission will institute proceedings to determine whether
the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that
would apply to Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters, with left-
hand side (LH) engine fuel supply (fuel supply) hose part number (P/N)
704A34416087 installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
October 7, 2020, (85 FR 63235). For helicopters delivered to the first
operator before November 30, 2018, and for helicopters delivered to the
first operator on or after November 30, 2018, that have had the LH fuel
supply hose replaced or reinstalled before May 10, 2019, the NPRM
proposed to require visually inspecting the LH fuel supply hose for
twisting, and if needed, borescope inspecting the entire length of the
inside of the fuel supply hose for twisting. Depending on the
inspection results, the NPRM proposed to require reinstalling or
removing the fuel supply hose from service. Additionally, the NPRM
proposed to prohibit installing a certain part-numbered LH fuel supply
hose on any helicopter unless that LH fuel supply hose is installed by
following certain procedures specified in the manufacturer's service
bulletin. The proposed requirements were intended to prevent a decrease
of the LH engine power when accelerating to a power setting
corresponding to One Engine Inoperative (OEI) power and subsequent
reduced control of the helicopter. The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD
2019-0092, dated April 26, 2019 (EASA AD 2019-0092), issued by EASA,
which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European
Union, to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters (formerly
Eurocopter) Model EC 225 LP helicopters, all serial numbers. EASA
advises that an occurrence was reported where during an in-flight
single engine power check, the LH side engine experienced a power loss.
EASA states that a subsequent investigation determined that the fuel
flow to the affected engine was restricted by a twisted fuel supply
hose. EASA states that this condition, if not detected and corrected,
could lead to a decrease of the LH engine power when accelerating to
the power setting corresponding to OEI power, and subsequent reduced
control of the helicopter. Accordingly, the EASA AD requires a one-time
visual inspection of the fuel supply hose and depending on the
inspection results, removing from service or replacing the affected
part. EASA also introduces re-installation requirements for a fuel
supply hose that is being replaced or reinstalled.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since the NPRM was issued, the FAA determined that operators may
not have the information required to comply with the required actions
proposed in the NPRM. Operators may not know the date the helicopter
was delivered to the first operator. Additionally, operators may not
know whether the LH fuel supply hose has been previously removed or
reinstalled since the maintenance regulations do not require certain
operators to maintain these records after one year. Accordingly, the
FAA has determined the proposed paragraph (e)(1) of the NPRM must be
revised by deleting the language referring to delivery dates and dates
of LH fuel supply hose replacement or

reinstallation. As a result of these changes, all helicopters specified
in the applicability paragraph would be required to comply with the
required actions in this proposed AD. Also, since the NPRM was issued,
the FAA has determined that a limit on special flight permits is
required. This SNPRM reflects this change that special flight permits
may be permitted provided that there are no passengers on board.

Comments

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

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after determining the unsafe condition described previously is likely
to exist or develop in other helicopters of these same type designs.
Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a
result, it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide
additional opportunity for the public to comment on this SNPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
EC225-71A019, Revision 1, dated February 28, 2019, which specifies
procedures for removing the fuel supply hose from the LH power plant,
visually inspecting the fuel supply hose for twisting, and depending on
inspection results, performing an endoscope inspection on the inside of
the hose. This service information also specifies procedures required
to install a serviceable fuel supply hose.
    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 the ADDRESSES section.

Proposed AD Requirements in This SNPRM

    For helicopters with a certain part-numbered LH fuel supply hose
installed, this proposed AD would require visually inspecting the LH
fuel supply hose for twisting, and if needed, borescope inspecting the
entire length of the inside of the fuel supply hose for twisting.
Depending on the inspection results, this proposed AD would require
reinstalling or removing the fuel supply hose from service.
Additionally, this proposed AD would prohibit installing a certain
part-numbered LH fuel supply hose on any helicopter unless that LH fuel
supply hose is installed by following certain procedures described in
the manufacturer's service bulletin.

Differences Between This SNPRM and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires compliance within 110 flight hours or 6
months, whichever occurs first, while this proposed AD would require
compliance within 110 hours time-in-service after the effective date of
this AD. The EASA AD requires reporting information to Airbus
Helicopters if the LH fuel supply hose is twisted on the inside, while
this proposed AD would not. Additionally, the EASA AD is applicable to
certain aircraft delivered to the first operator prior to 30 Nov 2018,
and also to certain aircraft in which the affected part or LH engine
were not replaced or reinstalled before the effective date of the EASA
AD, whereas this proposed AD would apply to EC225LP helicopters with a
certain LH fuel supply hose installed, because operators might not know
when the helicopter was first delivered or what maintenance was
previously performed.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 28 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at
$85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Visually inspecting the LH fuel supply hose for twisting would take
about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter and
$2,380 for the U.S. fleet.
    Replacing a LH fuel supply hose would take about 8 work-hours and
parts would cost about $2,278 for an estimated replacement cost of
$2,958 per replacement.
    Borescope inspecting the LH fuel supply hose would take about 8
work-hours for an estimated cost of $680 per helicopter.

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, 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

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

    The Exchange proposes to modify Rule 6.2B, Hybrid Opening System
(``HOSS''). The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/Legal), at the Exchange's
Office of the Secretary and at the Commission.

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 those 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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    HOSS is a feature within CBOE's Hybrid System that is used for
conducting trading rotations. The Exchange is proposing to amend the
HOSS rule in various respects.
    First, to have more flexibility in a manner that is consistent with
other CBOE rules with order eligibility provisions, the Exchange is
proposing to amend the HOSS rule to include an order eligibility
provision. In particular, Rule 6.2B will be amended to provide that the
Exchange shall designate the eligible order size, eligible order type,
eligible order origin code (i.e., public customer orders, non-Market
Maker broker-dealer orders, and Market Maker broker-dealer orders) that
HOSS will accept for rotations on a class-by-class basis. The proposal
would not, however, permit the Exchange to discriminate among
individual market participants of the same type (e.g., permit certain
market-maker orders but not others to be eligible). The Rule will also
be amended to delete a reference to spread orders and contingency order
[sic] not being eligible to participate in HOSS opening trades or in
the determination of the opening price, expected opening price or
expected opening size. (As revised, the Exchange would determine
whether to designate these orders types as eligible for HOSS on a
class-by-class basis, just as it would for any other order type.) Any
changes to the HOSS order eligibility parameters determined by the
Exchange would be announced to CBOE Trading Permit Holders via
Regulatory Circular.
    This proposed change to include order eligibility requirements
within the HOSS rule is consistent with the order eligibility
requirements contained in other rules that pertain to features within
CBOE's Hybrid System, such as the order eligibility requirements for
Rule 6.13A, Simple Auction Liaison (SAL) (SAL is a feature within the
Hybrid System that auctions marketable orders for price improvement
over the national best bid and offer), and Rule 6.14, Hybrid Agency
Liaison (HAL) (HAL is a feature within the Hybrid System that provides
automated order handling in designated classes trading on Hybrid for
qualifying electronic orders that are not automatically executed by the
Hybrid System). The proposed rule change is also consistent with the
provisions of Rule 6.53, Certain Types of Orders Defined, which
provides that the classes and/or systems (e.g., the HOSS, SAL and HAL
systems) for which the orders types described in Rule 6.53 shall be
available will be as provided in the Exchange Rules, as the context may
indicate, or as otherwise specified via Regulatory Circular.
    Second, the Exchange is proposing to adopt new Interpretation and
Policy .04 regarding the applicable allocation algorithm \5\ for HOSS
and to make related changes to Interpretation and Policy .03.
Currently, there are various rotations procedures set forth in Rule
6.2B, such as the regular HOSS rotation procedure described in Rule
6.2B(a)-(g), the modified HOSS rotation procedure for Hybrid 3.0
classes described in Rule 6.2B.01, and the HOSS Hybrid Agency Liaison
(``HAL'') for openings (referred to herein as the ``HOSS HAL-O''
procedure) described in Rule 6.2B.03. Right now the Rule does not
specifically identify the applicable allocation algorithm for the HOSS
and modified HOSS rotation procedures. Paragraph (c)(iv) of the Rule
simply states that in determining the priority of orders and quotes to
be traded, the System gives priority to market orders first, then to
limit orders and quotes whose price is better than the opening price,
and then to resting orders and quotes at the opening price. For the
HOSS HAL-O rotation procedure, Rule 6.2B.03 provides that the system
gives priority to public customer market orders first (with multiple
orders ranked based on time priority), then to non-public customer
market orders second (with multiple orders being ranked based on time
priority), then to multiple quotes and orders whose price is better
than the opening price (with multiple quotes and orders being ranked in
accordance with the allocation algorithm in effect for the option class
pursuant to Rule 6.45A or 6.45B), then to limit orders and quotes at
the opening price (with multiple orders and quotes ranked in accordance
with the allocation algorithm in effect for the class pursuant to Rule
6.45A or 6.45B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The allocation algorithms include price-time, pro-rata, and
the ultimate matching algorithm (``UMA'') base priorities and a
combination of various optional priority overlays pertaining to
public customer priority, Market-Maker participation entitlements,
small order preference, and market turner. See Rules 6.45A, Priority
and Allocation of Equity Option Trades on the CBOE Hybrid System,
and 6.45B, Priority and Allocation of Trades in Index Options and
Options on ETFs on the CBOE Hybrid System.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing to remove the specific allocation
algorithm description for HOSS HAL-O rotations in Interpretation and
Policy .03(c)(i) of Rule 6.2B. Instead, the provision will be amended
provide [sic] that, in determining the priority of orders and quotes to
be traded, the System will give priority to market orders first, then
to limit orders and quotes whose price is better than the opening
price, and then to resting orders and quotes at the opening price (this
description is the same as is currently provided in Rule 6.2B(c)(iv)
and noted above). The Exchange is also proposing to adopt new
Interpretation and Policy .04 to Rule 6.2B. Proposed Interpretation and
Policy .04 to Rule 6.2B will provide that the Exchange may determine on
a class-by-class basis which electronic allocation algorithm would
apply for rotations (whether using the HOSS, modified HOSS or HOSS HAL-
O rotation procedure). This change will also provide the Exchange with
additional flexibility to permit the allocation algorithm in effect for
a rotation to be different from the allocation algorithm in effect for
the option class. All pronouncements regarding allocation algorithm
determinations by the Exchange will be announced to CBOE Trading Permit
Holders via Regulatory Circular.
    In conjunction with this change, the Exchange is also proposing to
modify Rule 6.2B to codify and describe the manner in which HOSS
handles opening imbalances in series that open at a minimum price
increment (e.g., a series that opens at a price of $0.05 when the
series is quoted in $0.05 increments and a series that opens at a price
of $0.01 when the series is quoted in $0.01 increments). In those
scenarios, HOSS opens even if a sell market order imbalance exists. In
addition, the

Exchange may determine to apply a separate electronic allocation
algorithm for series that open at a minimum price increment due to a
sell market order imbalance. As indicated above, pronouncements
regarding allocation algorithm determinations will be announced via
Regulatory Circular.
    The matching algorithm applied for rotations for each option class
will be pursuant to Rule 6.45A or 6.45B, as applicable. Thus, the
Exchange is not creating any new algorithms, but is amending Rule 6.2B
to make clear that the Exchange may determine the applicable allocation
algorithm for rotations as described above and to provide the
flexibility for the Exchange to choose an algorithm from among the
existing algorithms to be applied to rotations, rather than simply
defaulting to the algorithm in effect for intra-day trading in the
option class.
    Finally, the Exchange is proposing non-substantive amendments to
Rule 6.2B, so that the rule text can generally be more consistently
organized, numbered and worded. For example, the Exchange is proposing
to add descriptive headings to each section of the rule, and to replace
multiple references to Exchange determinations being announced via
Regulatory Circular with a single reference in proposed Interpretation
and Policy .05, which will provide that all pronouncements regarding
determinations by the Exchange pursuant to Rule 6.2B and the
Interpretations and Policies thereunder will be announced to Trading
Permit Holders via Regulatory Circular.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \6\ in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in particular in that it is designed 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.
In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed change would
provide more flexibility and clarity in its HOSS rule. The Exchange
also believes that the proposed HOSS order eligibility provision is
consistent with order eligibility provisions in other existing rules,
such as the SAL, HAL and order type rules.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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
proposal.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \11\ permits the Commission to designate
such shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.
    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.

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

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposal to extend a
pilot program related to Rule 11.13, entitled ``Clearly Erroneous
Executions.'' The Exchange also proposes to remove certain references
to individual stock trading pauses contained in Rule 11.13(c)(4). The
Exchange has designated this proposal as non-controversial and provided
the Commission with the notice required by Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) under
the Act.\3\ All of the changes described herein are applicable to EDGX
Members. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Internet Web site at www.directedge.com, at the Exchange's
principal office, and at the Public Reference Room of the Commission.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this filing is to extend the effectiveness of the
Exchange's current rule applicable to Clearly Erroneous Executions and
to remove references to individual stock trading pauses described in
Rule 11.13(c)(4).
    Portions of Rule 11.13, explained in further detail below, are
currently operating as a pilot program set to expire on September 30,
2013.\4\ The Exchange proposes to extend the pilot program to April 8,
2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68814 (February 1,
2013), 78 FR 9086 (February 7, 2013) (SR-EDGX-2013-06).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, on a pilot basis,
changes to Exchange Rule 11.13 to provide for uniform treatment: (1) of
clearly erroneous execution reviews in multi-stock events involving
twenty or more securities; and (2) in the event transactions occur that
result in the issuance of an individual stock trading pause by the
primary listing market and subsequent transactions that occur before
the trading pause is in effect on the Exchange.\5\ The Exchange also
adopted additional changes to Rule 11.13 that reduced the ability of
the Exchange to deviate from the objective standards set forth in Rule
11.13,\6\ and in 2013, adopted a provision designed to address the
operation of the Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility
Pursuant to Rule 608 of Regulation NMS under the Act (the ``Limit Up-
Limit Down Plan'' or the ``Plan'').\7\ The Exchange believes the
benefits to market participants from the more objective clearly
erroneous executions rule should continue on a pilot basis through
April 8, 2014, which is one year following the commencement of
operations of the Plan. The Exchange believes that continuing the pilot
during this time will protect against any unanticipated consequences.
Thus, the Exchange believes that the protections of the Clearly
Erroneous Rule should continue while the industry gains

further experience operating the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62886 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010) (SR-EDGX-2010-03).
    \6\ Id.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67091 (May 31,
2012), 77 FR 33498 (June 6, 2012) (the ``Limit Up-Limit Down
Release''); see also Exchange Rule 11.13(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to eliminate all references in Rule
11.13 to individual stock trading pauses issued by a primary listing
market. Specifically, Rule 11.13(c)(4) provides specific rules to
follow with respect to review of an execution as potentially clearly
erroneous when there was an individual stock trading pause issued for
that security and the security is included in the S&P 500[supreg]
Index, the Russell 1000[supreg] Index, or a pilot list of Exchange
Traded Products (``Original Circuit Breaker Securities''). The stock
trading pauses described in Rule 11.13(c)(4) are being phased out as
securities become subject to the Plan pursuant to a phased
implementation schedule. The Plan is already operational with respect
to all Original Circuit Breaker Securities, and thus, the Exchange
believes that all references to individual stock trading pauses should
be removed, including all cross-references to Rule 11.13(c)(4)
contained in other portions of Rule 11.13.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange notes that certain Exchange Traded Products
(``ETPs'') are not yet subject to the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan.
Because such ETPs are not on the pilot list of securities, such ETPs
are not subject to Rule 11.13(c)(4). See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 65109 (August 11, 2011), 76 FR 51103 (August 17, 2011)
(SR-EDGX-2011-25) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness to
define Subject [sic] Securities and to limit application of Rule
11.13(c)(4) to such securities). Accordingly, the proposed rule
change does not change the status quo with respect to such ETPs. As
amended, all securities, including ETPs not subject to the Limit Up-
Limit Down Plan, will continue to be subject to Rule 11.13(c)(1)
through (3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder that
are applicable to a national securities exchange, and, in particular,
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\9\ In particular, the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ because it
would promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system. The Exchange believes that the pilot
program promotes just and equitable principles of trade in that it
promotes transparency and uniformity across markets concerning review
of transactions as clearly erroneous. More specifically, the Exchange
believes that the extension of the pilot would help assure that the
determination of whether a clearly erroneous trade has occurred will be
based on clear and objective criteria, and that the resolution of the
incident will occur promptly through a transparent process. The
proposed rule change would also help assure consistent results in
handling erroneous trades across the U.S. markets, thus furthering fair
and orderly markets, the protection of investors and the public
interest. Although the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan will become fully
operational during the same time period as the proposed extended pilot,
the Exchange believes that maintaining the pilot will help to protect
against unanticipated consequences. To that end, the extension will
allow the Exchange to determine whether Rule 11.13 is necessary once
the Plan is fully operational and, if so, whether improvements can be
made. Finally, the elimination of references to individual stock
trading pauses will help to avoid confusion amongst market
participants, which is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest and therefore consistent with the Act. As described
above, individual stock trading pauses have been replaced by the Limit
Up-Limit Down Plan with respect to all Subject [sic] Securities.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change
implicates any competitive issues. To the contrary, the Exchange
believes that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'')
and other national securities exchanges are also filing similar
proposals, and thus, that the proposal will help to ensure consistency
across market centers.

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

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

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

    Because the proposed rule change 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, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\12\

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest,
as it will allow the pilot program to continue uninterrupted, thereby
avoiding investor confusion that could result from a temporary
interruption in the pilot program. For this reason, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Section 70110 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act provides
that the Secretary of Homeland Security may impose conditions of entry
on vessels requesting entry into the United States arriving from ports
that are not maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures. The Coast
Guard has been delegated the authority by the Secretary to carry out
the provisions of this section. The Docket contains previous notices
imposing or removing conditions of entry on vessels arriving from
certain countries and those conditions of entry and the countries they
pertain to remain in effect unless modified by this notice.
    The Coast Guard has determined that ports, with certain exceptions,
in Cameroon are not maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures.
Accordingly, effective December 5, 2007. the Coast Guard will impose
the following conditions of entry on vessels that visited ports in
Cameroon with the exception of the Ebome Marine Terminal, the Quai
GETMA (LAMNALCO Base) facility, and the Soci[eacute]t[eacute] Nationale
de Raffinage (SONARA) terminal during their last five port calls.
Vessels must:
     Implement measures per the ship's security plan equivalent
to Security Level 2;
     Ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded and
that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside
and waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in the above
country. Guards may be provided by the ship's crew, however additional
crewmembers should be placed on the ship if necessary to ensure that
limits on maximum hours of work are not exceeded and/or minimum hours
of rest are met, or provided by outside security forces approved by the
ship's master and Company Security Officer;
     Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security;
     Log all security actions in the ship's log;

     Report actions taken to the cognizant U.S. Coast Guard
Captain of the Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters; and
     Ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded by
armed, private security guards and that they have total visibility of
the exterior (both landside and waterside) of the vessel while in U.S.
ports. The number and position of the guards has to be acceptable to
the cognizant Coast Guard Sector Commander.
    With this notice, the current list of countries not maintaining
effective anti-terrorism measures is as follows: Cameroon, Equatorial
Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, and Mauritania.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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
the 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 modify the VOR Federal airway route structure in
the eastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air
traffic.

rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2019-0431; Airspace Docket No. 19-ASO-9) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2019-0431; Airspace Docket No. 19-ASO-9''. The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified comment
closing date will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11C
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the description of VOR Federal
airway V-159 due to the planned decommissioning of the Hamilton, AL,
VORTAC. The proposed route change is described below.
    V-159: V-159 currently extends between the Virginia Key, FL, VOR/
DME and the Huron, SD, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Vulcan, AL, VORTAC, and the Holly Springs, MS,
VORTAC due to the planned decommissioning of the Hamilton, AL, VORTAC
which provides navigation guidance between Vulcan and Holly Springs. As
amended, V-159 would consist of two sections. The first section would
extend between Virginia Key, FL, and Vulcan, AL, as currently charted.
This would be followed by a gap in the route between Vulcan, AL, and
Holly Springs, MS. The second section would extend between Holly
Springs, MS, and Huron, SD, as currently charted.
    A low altitude area navigation (RNAV) route (T-route) is being
developed to replace the airway section proposed for removal. In the
interim, alternative routing would be available via airway V-7 between
Vulcan, AL, and the Muscle Shoals, AL, VORTAC; then airway V-54 between
Muscle Shoals and Holly Springs.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR
Federal airways listed in this document would be subsequently published
in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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
Department of Transportation (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 proposed 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.

Environmental Review

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