DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF18-4-000]

Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned MVP Southgate Project,
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public
Scoping Session

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that
will discuss the environmental impacts of the MVP Southgate Project
(Project). The Project involves the construction and operation of
facilities by Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (Mountain Valley), a joint
venture between affiliates of EQT Corporation and NextEra Energy, Inc.
in Virginia and North Carolina. The Commission will use this EIS in its
decision-making process to determine whether the Project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies about issues regarding the Project. The National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the
environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it
considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity. NEPA also requires the Commission to discover concerns the
public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as
``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the
analysis in the EIS on the important environmental issues. By this
notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of the
issues to address in the EIS. To ensure that your comments are timely
and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the
Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5 p.m. Eastern
Time on September 10, 2018.
    You can make a difference by submitting your specific comments or
concerns about the Project. Your comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid
or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues it needs to evaluate in the EIS. Commission
staff will consider all filed comments during the preparation of the
EIS.
    If you sent comments on this Project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on May 15, 2018, or if you sent comments on this
Project to the MVP mainline docket (CP16-10-000), you will need to file
those comments in Docket No. PF18-4-000 to ensure they are considered
as part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this planned
Project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a Mountain Valley
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the Project, that approval conveys with it the right of
eminent domain. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach an
easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses a
number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are four methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-
3676 or [email protected]. Please carefully follow these
instructions so that your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to Documents and Filings. Using eComment is an easy
method for submitting brief, text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is located on the Commission's website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to Documents and

Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a variety of formats
by attaching them as a file with your submission. New eFiling users
must first create an account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' You will be
asked to select the type of filing you are making; a comment on a
particular project is considered a ``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address. Be sure to reference the Project docket number
(PF18-4-000) with your submission: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington,
DC 20426.
    (4) In lieu of sending written comments, the Commission invites you
to attend one of the public scoping sessions its staff will conduct in
the Project area, scheduled as follows:

Summary of the Planned Project

    The Project would involve the construction and operation of about
72 miles of 24-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipeline in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia and Rockingham and Alamance Counties,
North Carolina. The Project would interconnect with and receive gas
from the Mountain Valley Pipeline near Chatham, Virginia, and the East
Tennessee Natural Gas mainline near Eden, North Carolina. The pipeline
would extend about 72 miles to its planned terminus at an interconnect
near Graham, North Carolina. The pipeline would be designed to deliver
at least 300 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Additional
facilities would include new compressor stations in Pittsylvania
County, Virginia and Rockingham County, North Carolina; four new meter
stations; eight main line valves, and four pig \2\ launchers and
receivers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A ``pig'' is an internal tool that the pipeline company
inserts into and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning,
inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The general location of the Project facilities is shown in appendix
3. Additional Project location information, including an interactive
map, is available on the Mountain Valley's Project website:
www.mvpsouthgate.com.

Project Alternatives

    Mountain Valley is evaluating the following alternatives and route
deviations listed below. Illustrations of these alternatives are
provided in the figures in appendix 3.

Sandy Cross Road Alternative

    To address concerns regarding the planned route's proximity to
residences in Alamance County, North Carolina, the Sandy Cross Road
Alternative would deviate from the planned route near milepost (MP)
65.5 and extend northeast and then south for about 2.0 miles before
rejoining the planned route at MP 67.0.

Alamance Eastern Alternative

    To address concerns regarding the planned route's proximity to
residences in Alamance County, North Carolina, the Alamance Eastern
Alternative would deviate from the planned route near MP 65.6 and
extend east and then southwest for about 9.6 miles before rejoining the
planned route at MP 70.4.

Alamance Southern Alternative

    To address concerns regarding the planned route's proximity to
residences in Alamance County, North Carolina, the Alamance Southern
Alternative would deviate from the planned route near MP 71.4 and
extend southeast, and then southwest for about 2.3 miles before
rejoining the planned route at MP 72.5.

Duke Powerline Alternative

    In order to increase the planned route's collocation with existing
rights-of-way in Alamance County, North Carolina, the Duke Powerline
Alternative would deviate from the planned route near MP 58.2 and
extend south and then east for about 4.4 miles before rejoining the
planned route at MP 62.0. This alternative route is collocated with the
Duke Energy transmission line and other rights-of-way for about 3.8
miles.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned facilities would disturb about 1,348
acres of land. Following construction, Mountain Valley would maintain
about 449 acres for permanent operation of the Project's facilities,
not including permanent access roads; the remaining acreage would be
restored and revert to former uses. About 47 percent of the planned
pipeline route parallels existing pipeline, utility, and road rights-
of-way.

The EIS Process

    The EIS will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the planned Project under these general
headings:
    1. Geology and soils;
    2. land use;
    3. water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
    4. cultural resources;
    5. vegetation and wildlife;
    6. air quality and noise;
    7. endangered and threatened species;
    8. public safety;
    9. socioeconomics; and
    10. cumulative impacts.
    Commission staff will also evaluate possible alternatives to the
planned Project or portions of the Project, and make recommendations on
how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, Commission staff
have already initiated a NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing
process. The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early
involvement of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve
issues before the Commission receives an application. As part of the
pre-filing review, Commission staff will contact federal and state
agencies to discuss their involvement in the scoping process and the
preparation of the EIS.
    The EIS will present Commission staffs' independent analysis of the
issues. The Commission will publish and distribute the draft EIS for
public comment. After the comment period, staff will consider all
timely comments and revise the document, as necessary, before issuing a
final EIS. To ensure Commission staff have the opportunity to consider
and address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in
the Public Participation section, beginning on page 2.
    With this notice, the Commission is asking agencies with
jurisdiction by law and/or special expertise with respect to the
environmental issues related to this Project to formally cooperate in
the preparation of the EIS.\3\ Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice. Currently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has expressed their
intention to participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation of
the EIS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Consultation Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

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

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

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    Commission staff have already identified several issues that
deserve attention based on a preliminary review of the planned
facilities and the environmental information provided by Mountain
Valley. This preliminary list of issues may change based on your
comments and our analysis.
    1. Domestic water sources, wells, springs, and waterbodies;
    2. federally-listed threatened and endangered species, including
mussels, fish, and bats;
    3. residential developments and property values;
    4. public safety;
    5. environmental justice;
    6. operational noise from planned compressor stations; and
    7. alternatives and their potential impacts on a range of
resources.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for Project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the Project. Commission staff will update the environmental
mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that information
related to this environmental review is sent to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the planned Project.
    Copies of the completed draft EIS will be sent to the environmental
mailing list for public review and comment. If you would prefer to
receive a paper copy of the document instead of a CD version or would
like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the
attached ``Mailing List Update Form'' (appendix 4).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Mountain Valley files its application with the Commission, you
may want to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing of the Commission's decision and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedures (Title 18, Code of Federal Regulations, part 385.214).
Motions to intervene are more fully described at http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. Please note that the Commission
will not accept requests for intervenor status at this time. You must
wait until the Commission receives a formal application for the
Project, after which the Commission will issue a public notice that
establishes an intervention deadline.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-89500; File No. SR-NYSE-2020-66]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule 122

August 6, 2020.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on August 3, 2020, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
the ``Exchange'') 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 self-
regulatory organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 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 amend Rule 122 (Orders with More than One
Broker). The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and
at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the 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 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
    Currently, Rule 122 (Orders with More than One Floor Broker)
provides that a member organization may not maintain orders with more
than one Floor broker to purchase the same security at the same price.
Because each Floor broker is a separate Participant in a parity
allocation,\4\ Rule 122 prevents member organizations from
circumventing the parity allocation rules to obtain preferential
execution by splitting a single order among multiple Floor brokers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Rule 7.36(a)(5) (defining the term ``Floor Broker
Participant'' to mean a Floor Broker trading license).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 122 currently contains an exception and the main purpose of
the proposed amendment is to clarify this exception. The exception is:
If the orders are not for the account of the same principal, then it is
permissible for the member organization to maintain such orders with
different Floor brokers. This exception reflects the Exchange's
understanding that some member organizations, or customers of member
organizations, have multiple trading desks that do not coordinate
trading strategies and are separated by information barriers. In such
circumstances, because there is no coordination between such trading
desks, maintaining those separate orders with more than one Floor
broker would not be circumventing the parity allocation rules. The
proposed amendment to Rule 122 would add Commentary to add specificity
about this exception with respect to both member organizations'
proprietary orders and orders that member organizations represent on an
agency basis for customers.
    Both member organizations and the customers of member organizations
may consist of multiple trading units that are separated by information
barriers that restrict the trading units from coordinating trading
strategies, sharing capital, and sharing profits and losses. The
proposed amended rule would provide that, if a member organization has
knowledge and can verify that it or its customer is organized in this
way, the member organization may route orders for the same security at
the same price from its independent units to more than one Floor broker
in a manner that is consistent with Rule 122.
    In addition, the Exchange proposes to amend the text of Rule 122 to
remove certain obsolete language and to provide greater specificity to
the rule text, without changing its meaning.
2. Proposed Changes to Text of Rule 122
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 122 to remove certain obsolete
language and to provide greater specificity to the rule text, without
changing its meaning.

    Because the text of current Rule 122 addresses two distinct topics,
the Exchange proposes to reorganize the existing rule text into new
subsections (a) and (b), which the Exchange believes will enhance
comprehension of the rule.
    The Exchange proposes that new subsection (a) would include the
current first sentence of Rule 122. Because the term ``member'' refers
to the natural person associated with a member organization who has
been designated by such member organizations to effect transactions on
the Floor of the Exchange, e.g., a Floor broker,\5\ and Floor brokers
do not originate orders,\6\ and because the term ``allied member'' no
longer exists in Exchange rules,\7\ the Exchange proposes to delete the
extraneous language ``member'' and ``or any allied member therein.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Rule 2(a) (definition of the term ``member'').
    \6\ See Rule 112(a).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58549 (September 15,
2008), 73 FR 54444 (September 19, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-80) (Approval
order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further proposes to amend new subsection (a) to
specify that the rule applies both to orders ``sent to''--as well as
those ``maintained with''--more than one Floor broker, and to insert
the word ``Floor'' before ``broker'' to enhance the clarity of the
sentence. The Exchange also proposes to replace the phrase ``market
orders or orders at the same price'' in new subsection (a) with the
phrase ``orders that may execute at the same price,'' to specify that
the rule applies to multiple orders of any resting order type that may
execute at the same price.
    The Exchange proposes that new subsection (b) would include the
current second and third sentences of Rule 122, relating to how a Floor
broker can represent an order that already has a portion transmitted to
the Exchange Book. Because this text addresses a different topic than
proposed Rule 122(a), the Exchange proposes to delete the extraneous
``However'' at the start of the first sentence of this new subsection.
The Exchange also proposes to delete from new subsection (b) several
phrases--including ``manually or from a hand-held terminal,'' ``in the
auction market or via the Floor broker agency interest file,'' and ``as
part of an auction market transaction or automatic execution''--because
they are extraneous, use obsolete text, and are not necessary to a
clear understanding of the rule. The Exchange believes that making
these deletions will have no substantive effect on the meaning of
subsection (b).
    Finally, the Exchange proposes to delete from new subsection (b)
several references to the ``Display Book[supreg] system,'' which is an
obsolete system formerly used by the Exchange, and to replace them with
references to the Exchange's current ``Exchange Book.'' \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Rule 1.1(k).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Proposed Rule Commentary
    In addition to the proposed amendments to the rule text listed
above, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 122 by adding new Rule
Commentary to provide greater specificity as to the rule's application
and to enhance comprehension of the rule.
    The Exchange proposes to add Rule Commentary .01 to specify that,
for the purposes of Rule 122, sending to, maintaining with, or using
``more than one Floor broker'' would mean more than one Floor broker
member organization, or two different individual Floor brokers at the
same Floor broker member organization. This proposed rule text is not
intended to add new functionality, but rather to add clarity regarding
the current Rule text.
    The Exchange proposes to add Rule Commentary .02 to provide more
specificity as to when a member organization's own orders are not
presumed to be for the account of the same principal. As proposed, for
purposes of Rule 122, when a member organization uses more than one
Floor broker, multiple orders originating from the member organization
would be presumed not to be for the account of the same principal if
each order is from a separate trading unit that is separated by
information barriers or other barriers that restrict the trading unit
from coordinating trading strategies, sharing capital, and sharing
profits and losses with other trading units (an ``Independent Unit''),
as defined in proposed Commentary .02(a). Proposed Rule Commentary
.02(b) would require a member organization to have supervisory systems
and written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that
it is not using more than one Floor broker for its orders that are for
the account of the same principal.
    Proposed Rule Commentary .03 would apply the same concepts to
circumstances when a member organization uses more than one Floor
broker for multiple orders that it represents on an agency basis.
Proposed Rule Commentary .03(a) would specify that orders that the
member organization represents on an agency basis from a single
customer are presumed not to be for the account of the same principal
if the member organization's customer maintains Independent Units and
the orders are from Independent Units. Proposed Rule Commentary .03(b)
would specify that if a member organization is representing a customer
on an agency basis and uses more than one Floor broker for such
customer, the member organization's written policies and procedures
must be reasonably designed to ensure that the orders it receives from
the customer are from Independent Units of the customer. The proposed
Rule Commentary would specify that the member organization must: (1)
Use reasonable diligence to know and retain the essential facts
relating to the operation and supervision of its customer's information
barriers to ensure there is a prohibition against the coordination of
trading strategies and that there is in fact no coordination of trading
strategies, and that the orders are from Independent Units (see
proposed Rule Commentary .03(b)(1)); (2) review and document such
reviews that the orders received from its customers originated from
Independent Units (see proposed Rule Commentary .03(b)(2)); and (3)
obtain an annual written representation, in a form acceptable to the
Exchange, from each customer that such orders originate from
Independent Units (see proposed Rule Commentary .03(b)(3)). The
Exchange believes that, taken together, these measures will provide the
member organization and the Exchange with reasonable assurance that the
orders are not for the account of the same principal, and member
organizations are operating in compliance with Rule 122.
    The requirements of proposed Commentary .03(b) are not the first
time that the Exchange has imposed obligations on its member
organizations with respect to orders that they represent on an agency
basis on behalf of their customers. For example, Rule 7.44(b)(6),
relating to the Exchange's Retail Liquidity Program, provides that if
the Retail Member Organization does not itself conduct a retail
business but instead routes Retail Orders on behalf of another broker-
dealer, the Retail Member Organization's supervisory procedures must be
reasonably designed to ensure that the orders it receives from such
other broker-dealer meet the definition of a Retail Order. That Rule
further provides that to fulfill this supervisory requirement, the
Retail Member Organization must obtain an annual written
representation, in a form acceptable to the Exchange, from the broker-
dealer sending the orders that the orders comply with Rule 7.44, and by
monitoring whether Retail Order flow

routed on behalf of such other broker-dealer meets the applicable
requirements. Here, the proposed amended rule would require a similar
supervisory obligation for member organizations to ensure that orders
placed by their customers in fact originate from Independent Units.
    Proposed Rule Commentary .04 would add that notwithstanding
Commentary .02(a) and .03(a), that there is a presumption that orders
are for the account of the same principal (i.e., not from Independent
Units) if the trading strategies are run by the same desk, group,
employee(s), or portfolio manager(s); are otherwise overseen or
supervised by the same desk, group, employee(s), or portfolio managers;
or share capital or roll up to the same profit and loss center.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, because it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to 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,
and because it is not 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule will
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system because the proposed Rule
Commentary provides greater specificity around the ``account of the
same principal'' exception already contained within Rule 122, by
clarifying the meaning of ``sending to more than one Floor broker'' and
defining the term ``Independent Units.'' In addition, by extending that
exception to orders from Independent Units of a member organization's
customers, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would
address the reality of how such customers may be organized, thereby
removing impediments to such firms' trading in the national market
system.
    Finally, the Exchange's proposal to make various non-substantive
changes to the rule text--by adding subsection numbering, removing
extraneous language, and removing references to the obsolete ``Display
Book[supreg] system''--adds clarity and transparency to the Exchange's
Rules and reduces potential investor confusion, which would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system.

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

    The Exchange 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, because it merely provides
greater specificity for the ``account of the same principal'' exception
already contained in Rule 122, and extends that exception to member
organizations' customers that are organized into Independent Units. The
Exchange believes that the proposal would have a positive effect on
competition, by removing the current requirement that such member
organizations' customers must use only one Floor broker for orders for
the same security that may execute at the same price, even though such
orders do not threaten to circumvent the Exchange's parity allocation
rules when they originate from Independent Units.

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

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

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

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH)
indicating that the butt-joints on the forward fuselage above the
passenger door are subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This AD
requires inspecting the forward fuselage butt-joints for cracking,
repairing any crack, and eventually doing a terminating repair. We are
issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of such butt-joints, which
could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane and in-
flight decompression of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 21, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 21, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Fokker Services
B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on October 23, 2013 (78 FR 63132). The NPRM was
prompted by an evaluation by the DAH indicating that the butt-joints on
the forward fuselage above the passenger door are subject to WFD. The
NPRM proposed to require inspecting the forward fuselage butt-joints
for cracking, repairing any crack, and eventually doing a terminating
repair. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of such
butt-joints, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the
airplane and in-flight decompression of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2012-0218, dated October 19, 2012 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    A report has been received of a crack, detected in a butt-joint
on the forward

fuselage of an F28 Mark 0100 aeroplane, above the passenger door.
Investigation results revealed that, depending on the configuration
of the aeroplane, four butt joints in the forward fuselage can be
affected, at stringers 8, 37, 42 and 67 between fuselage stations
3850 and 5305.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, can result in an
exponential crack growth rate, possibly leading to failure of the
butt-joint over a certain length and consequent in-flight
decompression of the aeroplane.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection [low frequency eddy current] of the forward fuselage
butt joints for cracks and, depending on findings, accomplishment of
a temporary repair [including a detailed inspection for cracks in
the butt strap on the inside of the applicable joint, and corrective
actions if necessary] and reporting the findings to Fokker Services.
In addition, this AD requires a permanent repair/modification [and a
detailed inspection for cracks in the butt strap on the inside of
the applicable joint, and corrective actions if necessary].

    Corrective actions include removing the cracked part of the butt
joint and installing an insert, and installing of an external repair
strap. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at
http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-0865-0001.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (78 FR 63132, October 23,
2013) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 63132, October 23, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 63132, October 23, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 127 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD on U.S. operators to be $43,180, or $10,795 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 30 work-hours, for a cost of $2,550 per product. We have no
way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
actions.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2013-0865; or in person at the
Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information.
