SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54929; File No. SR-FICC-2006-05]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Wind-Down of
a Participant

December 13, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on March 28, 2006, Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') and on September 28, 2006, amended
the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below,
which items have been prepared primarily by FICC. 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change would add a new Rule 21A, Wind-Down of a
Netting Member, to the Rules of FICC's Government Securities Division
(``GSD'') and a new Rule 2A, Wind-Down of a Participant, to the Rules
of FICC's Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (``MBSD'') \2\ to address
a situation where a participant notifies FICC that it intends to wind
down its activities and FICC determines, in its discretion, that it
must take special action in order to protect itself and its
participants.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The text of FICC's GSD's proposed Rule 21A and MBSD's Rule
2A can be found on FICC's Web site at http://www.ficc.com.

    \3\ Similar proposed rule changes have been filed by The
Depository Trust Company [File No. SR-DTC-2006-07] and the National
Securities Clearing Corporation [File No. SR-NSCC-2006-05].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FICC 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. FICC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has modified parts of these statements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule would allow FICC to determine that a participant
is a wind-down member or wind-down participant and would set forth the
conditions FICC using its discretion could place on a wind-down
participant and the actions FICC using its discretion could take with
respect to a wind-down participant to protect itself and its members or
participants. Such actions would include restricting or modifying the
wind-down member or participant's use of any or all of FICC's services
and requiring the wind-down member or participant to post increased
clearing fund deposits. FICC would retain all of its other rights set
forth in its rules and participant agreements, including the right to
declare the wind-down participant insolvent, if applicable, and to
cease to act for the participant.
    FICC believes that the proposed rule would ensure that it has the
needed flexibility to appropriately manage the risks presented by an
entity in crisis that remains a participant of FICC. This is
particularly important to preserve orderly settlement in the
marketplace and to minimize the risk of loss to FICC and its members
and participants. The proposed rule summarizes in a single rule FICC's
rights and the actions it may take in such a situation. These rights
and actions are either permitted elsewhere in FICC's rules or are
permitted pursuant to FICC's emergency authority. By summarizing them
in a single rule, however, the proposed rule change is designed to
provide clarity and a clear legal basis for FICC's rights or actions
taken with respect to a wind-down member or participant. FICC also
believes that the proposed rule is designed to minimize the need for
rule waivers.
    FICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
because it will enhance the rules of both divisions of FICC regarding
actions that FICC may take with respect to a wind-down of a participant
that presents risk to FICC.

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

    FICC does not believe that the proposed rule change would have any
impact or impose any burden on competition.

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

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received. FICC will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by FICC.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) As the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve the proposed rule change or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for two years if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the Agency to
renew exemptions at the end of the two-year period.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to driver a CMV if that person:

    First perceives a forced whispered voice in the better ear at
not less than 5 feet with or without the use of a hearing aid or, if
tested by use of an audiometric device, does not have an average
hearing loss in the better ear greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz,
1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a hearing aid when the
audiometric device is calibrated to American National Standard
(formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.

    49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) was adopted in 1970, with a revision in 1971
to allow drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a
hearing aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3,
1971).
    The two individuals listed in this notice have requested renewal of
their exemptions from the hearing standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11), in
accordance with FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated
these applications for renewal on their merits and decided to extend
each exemption for a renewable two-year period.

II. Request for Comments

    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

III. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of
the twelve applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for
obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement (80 FR 57032; 80 FR
60747). In addition, for Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders, the
Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) and the Motor
Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) are searched for crash
and violation data. For non-CDL holders, the Agency reviews the driving
records from the State Driver's Licensing Agency (SDLA). These factors
provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability to
continue to safely operate a CMV in interstate commerce.
    The two drivers in this notice remain in good standing with the
Agency and have not exhibited any medical issues that would compromise
their ability to safely operate a CMV during the previous two-year
exemption period. FMCSA has concluded that renewing the exemptions for
each of these applicants is likely to achieve a level of safety equal
to that existing without the exemption. Therefore, FMCSA has decided to
renew each exemption for a two-year period. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each driver has received a renewed
exemption.
    As of May 8, 2017, Mark Dickson (TX), has satisfied the renewal
conditions for obtaining an exemption from the requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(11), from driving CMVs in interstate commerce (80 FR 18697).
    The driver was included in FMCSA-2014-0383. The exemption was
effective on May 8, 2017, and will expire on May 8, 2019.
    As of May 21, 2017, Timothy Gallagher (PA), has satisfied the
renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the requirement in
49 CFR 391.41(b)(11), from driving CMVs in interstate commerce (78 FR
22768).
    The driver was included in FMCSA-2014-0102. The exemption was
effective on May 21, 2017, and will expire on May 21, 2019.

IV. Conditions and Requirements

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) Each driver must report any crashes or accidents as defined in 49
CFR 390.5; and (2) report all citations and convictions for
disqualifying offenses under 49 CFR part 383 and 49 CFR 391 to FMCSA.
In addition, the driver must also have a copy of the exemption when
driving, for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official. The driver is prohibited from operating a
motorcoach or bus with passengers in interstate commerce. The exemption
does not exempt the individual from meeting the applicable CDL testing
requirements. Each exemption will be valid for two years unless
rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The
person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption;
(2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was
maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315.

V. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the nine exemption applications, FMCSA
renews the exemptions of the aforementioned drivers from the hearing
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11). In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, each exemption will be valid for two years unless
revoked earlier by FMCSA.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31521; Amdt. No. 4091]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective December 19, 2023. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of December 19, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South

    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, visit
www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations or email
[email protected].

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:

Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., STB Annex, Bldg. 26, Room 217,
Oklahoma City, OK 73099. Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20. The
applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B, when
required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, pilots do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies

the airport and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) as an emergency action of
immediate flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical
charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
