SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56157; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2007-71]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to Rule
6.86

July 27, 2007.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 26, 2007, NYSE Arca, Inc., (``NYSE Arca'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been substantially prepared by the NYSE Arca. The Exchange filed
the proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant
to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder,\4\ which rendered the proposal effective upon filing with
the Commission. 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.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NYSE Arca proposes to implement the Exchange's quote mitigation
strategy, reflected in NYSE Arca Rule 6.86, on a permanent basis. The
text of the proposed rule change is available at NYSE Arca, the
Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://nysearca.com.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to implement the Exchange's quote mitigation
strategy, reflected in NYSE Arca Rule 6.86, on a permanent basis. The
Exchange's quote mitigation strategy, which is designed to reduce the
number of quotations generated by NYSE Arca for all option issues
traded on NYSE Arca, not just issues in the Penny Pilot, was previously
approved by the Commission in conjunction with approval of the Penny
Pilot.\5\ According to that approval order, the Commission approved
both the Penny Pilot and the changes to NYSE Arca Rule 6.86 for a six
month period, ending July 25, 2007. The quote mitigation strategy
reflected in NYSE Arca Rule 6.86 was not intended to be approved on a
pilot or short term basis.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-55156 (January
23, 2007), 72 FR 4759 (February 1, 2007) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-73).
    \6\ The Exchange reported that its quote mitigation strategy has
resulted in a daily mitigation savings of, on average, 13% of NYSE
Arca's daily quote traffic sent to the Options Price Reporting
Authority. See Exhibit 3 to SR-NYSEArca-2007-56, ``Understanding
Economic and Capacity Impacts of the Penny Pilot'' (analyzing data
collected during the first three months of the Penny Pilot).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with section
6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of section
6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that 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 facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received by the
Exchange.

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

    The proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\10\ because
the foregoing proposed rule does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30-days after the date of filing.\11\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.\12\ The Exchange has requested that
the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver
will ensure continuity of the Exchange's rules and will allow the
Exchange's quote mitigation strategy to remain in effect without
interruption. For these reasons, the Commission designates the proposal
to be operative upon filing with the Commission.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory organization to give the
Commission notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and 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 provided written notice of its intent to
file the proposed rule change on July 24, 2007. The Commission deems
this to satisfy the pre-filing requirement.
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60 day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulations (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (iv) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA
asks public comment on the following proposed collection of
information:
    Title: National 9-1-1 Profile Database.
    OMB Control Number: N/A.
    FORM Number: This collection of information uses no standard forms,
but does utilize a Web-based, data reporting/collection tool (https://www.911resourcecenter.org/code/9-1-1ProfileDatabase.aspx).
    Abstract: The 911 Resource Center, funded by a cooperative
agreement with NHTSA, is proposing to collect and aggregate information
from State level reporting entities that can be used to measure the
progress of 9-1-1 authorities across the country in enhancing their
existing operations and migrating to--Internet-Protocol-enabled
emergency networks. The data will be maintained in a ``National 9-1-1
Profile Database.'' One of the objectives of the National 9-1-1 Program
is to develop, collect, and disseminate information concerning
practices, procedures, and technology used in the implementation of E-
911 services and to support 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) and related State and local agencies for 9-1-1 deployment and
operations. The national 9-1-1 profile database can be used to follow
the progress of 9-1-1 authorities in enhancing their existing systems
and implementing next-generation networks for more advanced systems.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information--
    The goal of the data collection process is to support a national 9-
1-1 profile that will be used to help accurately measure and depict the
current status and planned capabilities of 9-1-1 systems across the
United States. Evaluations, based upon the data collected, will help
draw attention to key roadblocks and solutions in the deployment
process and to target possible future activities and resources
consistent with the goals of the program. The information in aggregated
form will be available to State and local stakeholders in the public
safety community.
    The information to be collected includes data useful to evaluating
the status of 9-1-1 programs across the country, along with their
progress of implementing advanced systems and capabilities. The data
elements involved

will fall within two major categories: baseline and progress
benchmarks.
     ``Baseline'' data elements reflect the current status and
nature of 9-1-1 operations from State to State. These elements are
largely descriptive in nature, are intended to provide a general view
of existing 9-1-1 services across the country, and are grouped within
three categories: administrative, system, and fiscal data.
     ``Progress benchmarks'' reflect the status of State
efforts to implement advanced next generation 9-1-1 systems and
capabilities. As titled, these data elements are largely implementation
or deployment benchmarks against which progress can be measured. The
elements involved are grouped in a logical order of planning,
procurement, installation and testing, transition, and operations.
Planning through testing elements reflects both State level and sub-
State level activity and efforts. Transitional and operational elements
specifically represent the latter.
    In order to collect information needed to develop and implement
effective strategies that meet the Program's goal of providing
leadership, coordination, guidance and direction to the enhancement of
the Nation's 9-1-1 services, NHTSA proposes to utilize a Web-based,
data reporting and collection tool accessible through the Web site:
http://www.911resourcecenter.org.
    Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number,
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information):
    Under this proposed effort, the 9-1-1 Resource Center would
specifically request reporting entities to voluntarily collect and
annually report the data described above utilizing the described Web-
based data collection tool. Reporting entities are State level 9-1-1
program officials, and the data reported will reflect State-level
aggregated data. The total number of respondents is identified at
fifty-six (56), including the fifty States and the six U.S. Territories
of Guam, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands, American Samoa, Mariana Islands,
U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
    The above reporting entities will be requested to annually update
data relating to their State or territory using the described Web-based
tool.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden
Resulting From the Collection of Information:
    NHTSA estimates that the time required to annually report the data
described utilizing the Web-based tool will be three hours (2 hours of
preparation, 1 hour of entry to Web site) per reporting entity, for a
total of 168 hours for all entities. The respondents would not incur
any reporting costs from the information collection beyond the time it
takes to gather the information, prepare it for reporting and then
populate the Web-based data collection tool. The respondents also would
not incur any recordkeeping burden or recordkeeping costs from the
information collection.

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 47 U.S.C. 942.

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not

contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion
in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed
except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed comprehensive draft human health and/or
ecological risk assessments for all pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. After reviewing comments received during the public comment
period, EPA may issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to
the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments and may request
public input on risk mitigation before completing a proposed
registration review decision for the pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide's
registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health and the environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's human health and/or ecological risk assessments for the
pesticides shown in the following table and opens a 60-day public
comment period on the risk assessments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under the provisions of the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 \1\ and Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Circular A-119, ``Federal Participation in the Development and Use of
Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment
Activities,'' effective January 27, 2016, the FAA participates in the
development of consensus standards and uses consensus standards as a
means of carrying out its policy objectives where appropriate. The FAA
has been working with industry and other stakeholders through the SAE
Aircraft Seat Committee to develop consensus standards for seat
furnishings to prevent hazards, such as object entrapment.
    This document is the result of a safety recommendation,
precipitated by an event where a passenger cell phone was crushed in
the mechanism of a first class cabin seat on a British Airways Boeing
747 airplane that caused smoke and fire. A pilot declared an emergency
landing due to the fire. The crew used four Bromochlorodifluoromethane
(BCF) and two water fire extinguishers to extinguish the cell phone
fire.
    The FAA investigators found that the first and business class
electrical power seats could jam a cell phone or tablet within its
mechanism and crush its lithium battery to cause a fire. In the 2017
safety recommendation, the British Airways maintenance department said
they saw at least one cell phone per day get jammed in electrically
operated seats. Also noted in the safety recommendation, American
Airlines maintenance department reported receiving five calls per day
to retrieve lost cell phones in seats at John F. Kennedy International
Airport alone. According to the FAA website lithium battery incidents
continue to be reported and are ongoing. (https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/resources/lithium_batteries/incidents)
    The FAA determined that seat designs that allow small objects
(e.g., cell phones, keys, wallets) to migrate to a location that
prevents the return of critical seat features to their taxi, takeoff,
and landing position, or be crushed to cause a potential fire hazard,
is non-compliant with Sec. Sec.  25.601 and 25.1301(a)(4). Section
25.601 states, in part, ``The airplane may not have design features or
details that experience has shown to be hazardous or unreliable.'' In
addition, Sec.  25.1301(a)(4) states, ``Each item of installed
equipment must function properly when installed.'' The FAA accepts SAE
Designation AS6960 ``Performance Standards for Seat Furnishings'',
section 3.2.3 as a means of compliance for Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) 25.601 and 25.1301(a)(4) with regard to the design
of seat furnishings.

Means of Compliance Accepted

    The FAA accepts SAE AS6960, ``Performance Standards for Seat
Furnishings'', section 3.2.3 as an acceptable means of compliance with
Sec. Sec.  25.601 and 25.1301(a)(4) for preventing hazards, such as
stated herein, from object entrapment in seat furnishings. The FAA is
notifying the public by publishing the acceptance of this consensus
standard in the Federal Register.
    The means of compliance accepted by this document is one means, but
not the only means, of complying with Sec. Sec.  25.601 and
25.1301(a)(4) with regard to design of seat furnishings. Applicants who
desire to use means of compliance reflected by other revisions to SAE
standards not previously accepted may seek guidance and possible
acceptance from the FAA for the use of those means of compliance on a
case-by-case basis. Applicants may also propose alternative means of
compliance for FAA review and possible acceptance.

Availability

    SAE AS6960, ``Performance Standards for Seat Furnishings in
Transport Category Aircraft'' is available for purchase at https://www.sae.org/standards or by contacting SAE at telephone number (877)
606-7323 or through email at https://store.sae.org. To inquire about

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56304; File No. SR-CTA-2007-01]

Consolidated Tape Association; Order Approving the Ninth Charges
Amendment to the Second Restatement of the Consolidated Tape
Association Plan

August 22, 2007.

I. Introduction

    On July 20, 2007, the Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') Plan
Participants (``Participants'') \1\ filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') pursuant to Section 11A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\2\ and Rule 608
thereunder,\3\ a proposal to amend the Second Restatement of the CTA
Plan (the ``Plan'') \4\ to impose a limit on the maximum amount that
any entity is required to pay for any calendar month's charge for
broadcast, cable or satellite television distribution of a Network A
ticker. The proposed Plan amendment was published for comment in the
Federal Register on August 1, 2007.\5\ No comment letters were received
in response to the Notice. This order approves the proposed Plan
amendment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Each Participant executed the proposed amendment. The
Participants are the American Stock Exchange LLC; Boston Stock
Exchange, Inc.; Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc.; Chicago Stock
Exchange, Inc.; International Securities Exchange LLC; The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC; National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.;
National Stock Exchange, Inc.; New York Stock Exchange LLC; NYSE
Arca, Inc.; and Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \3\ 17 CFR 242.608.
    \4\ The proposal was originally filed on June 19, 2007. However,
it was refiled on July 20, 2007, to reflect technical revisions made
in response to the Commission's staff comments.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56134 (July 25,
2007), 72 FR 42139 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The Plan currently imposes a charge of $2.00 for every 1,000
households reached on broadcast, cable and satellite television
distribution of a Network A ticker (the ``Broadcast Charge''). A
minimum monthly vendor payment of $2,000 applies. CTA permits prorating
for those who broadcast the data for less than the entire business day,
based upon the number of minutes that the vendor displays the real-time
ticker, divided by the number of minutes the primary market is open for
trading (currently 390 minutes).
    CTA proposes to cap the Broadcast Charge by providing that no
entity is required to pay more than the ``Television Ticker Maximum''
for any calendar month. For months falling in calendar year 2007, the
Participants propose that the monthly ``Television Ticker Maximum''
shall be $150,000. For each subsequent calendar year, the monthly
Television Ticker Maximum would increase by the ``Annual Increase
Amount.'' \6\ The CTA Participants propose to apply the monthly maximum
amount that any entity is required to pay for any calendar month's
Broadcast Charge retroactively to May 1, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The ``Annual Increase Amount'' is an amount equal to the
percentage increase in the annual composite share volume for the
preceding calendar year, subject to a maximum annual increase of
five percent. The ``Annual Increase Amount'' is the same adjustment
factor that the Network A rate schedule has long applied to the
monthly broker-dealer enterprise fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    The Commission finds that the proposed CTA Plan amendment is
consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.\7\
Specifically, the Commission finds that the amendment is consistent
with Rule 608(b)(2) \8\ of the Act in that it is necessary for the
protection of investors, the maintenance of fair and orderly markets,
and to remove impediments to a national market system. The Commission
also finds that the proposed cap on Broadcast Charges is fair and
reasonable and provides for an equitable allocation of dues, fees, and
other charges among vendors, data recipients and other persons using
CTA Network A facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Commission has considered the proposed amendment's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
    \8\ 17 CFR 242.608 (b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed amendment would reduce the amount of fees paid by some
entities that broadcast data to customers and result in a reduction of
costs for

investors. Thus, the proposed amendment is consistent with, and would
further, one of the principal objectives for the national market system
set forth in Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) \9\ of the Act--increasing the
availability of market information to broker-dealers and investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 11A of the Act,\10\
and the rules thereunder, that the proposed amendment to the CTA Plan
(SR-CTA-2007-01) is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(27).
