14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2021-1189; Airspace Docket No. 21-AGL-40]
RIN 2120-AA66

Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-768; Northcentral
United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes area navigation (RNAV) route T-768 in
the northcentral United States (U.S.). The new T-768 would compensate
for the removal of VOR Federal airway V-242 due to the decommissioning
of the Atikokan, Ontario (ON), Canada, Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)
navigational aid (NAVAID) accomplished as part of NAV CANADA's Airspace
Modernization Program. The new T-768 in U.S. airspace also connects to
NAV CANADA's existing T-768 RNAV route and supports cross border
connectivity. Additionally, the new route would expand the availability
of RNAV routing in support of transitioning the National Airspace
System (NAS) from ground-based to satellite-based navigation.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, September 8, 2022. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11
and publication of conforming amendments.

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 modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace
System.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2021-1189 in the Federal Register (87 FR 2375; January 14, 2022),
establishing RNAV route T-768 in the northcentral United States (U.S.).
The proposed amendment was to compensate for the removal of VOR Federal
airway V-242 due to the decommissioning of the Atikokan, Ontario (ON),
Canada, NDB NAVAID accomplished as part of NAV CANADA's Airspace
Modernization Program and to support cross border connectivity by
connecting to NAV CANADA's T-768 route. Interested parties were invited
to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal. No comments were received.
    Canadian RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6013 of FAA Order
JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV T-route
listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO
7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by establishing RNAV route T-768.
The new T-route is described below.
    T-768: T-768 is a new RNAV route extending between the
International Falls, MN, VORTAC and the ARBBY, MN, waypoint (WP). This
T-route provides routing between the International Falls VORTAC and the
U.S./Canada border; connecting to NAV CANADA's existing T-768 within
Canadian airspace.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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
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 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

    The FAA has determined that this action of establishing T-768, to
compensate for the removal of VOR Federal airway V-242 due to the
Atikokan, ON, Canada, NDB being decommissioned and to provide cross
border connectivity to NAV CANADA's T-768, qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify
classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see
14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points). As such, this action
is not expected to result in any potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-76950; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2016-003]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Amend the Options Regulatory Fee

January 21, 2016.
    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 January 8, 2016, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``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 amend Chapter XV, entitled ``Options
Pricing,'' at Section 5, entitled ``NASDAQ Options Regulatory Fee,''
which governs pricing for Exchange Participants using the NASDAQ
Options Market (``NOM''), the Exchange's facility for executing and
routing standardized equity and index options. The Exchange proposes to
increase the current Options Regulatory Fee.
    While changes to the Pricing Schedule pursuant to this proposal are
effective upon filing, the Exchange has designated these changes to be
operative on February 1, 2016.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to (1) increase the ORF from $0.0015 to
$0.0019 as of February 1, 2016 to balance the Exchange's regulatory
revenue against the anticipated costs; and (2) remove the requirement
that the ORF may only be modified semi-annually.
Background
    The ORF is assessed to each Participant for all options
transactions executed or cleared by the Participant that are cleared at
The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') in the Customer range (i.e.,
that clear in the Customer account of the Participant's clearing firm
at OCC). The Exchange monitors the amount of revenue collected from the
ORF to ensure that it, in combination with other regulatory fees and
fines, does not exceed regulatory costs. The ORF is imposed upon all
transactions executed by a Participant, even if such transactions do
not take place on the Exchange.\3\ The ORF also includes options
transactions that are not executed by a Participant but are ultimately
cleared by a Participant.\4\ The ORF is not charged for Participant
proprietary options transactions because Participants incur the costs
of owning memberships and through their membership are charged
transaction fees, dues and other fees that are not applicable to non-
members. The dues and fees paid by Participants go into the general
funds of the Exchange, a portion of which is used to help pay the costs
of regulation. The ORF is collected indirectly from Participants
through their clearing firms by OCC on behalf of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The ORF applies to all ``C'' account origin code orders
executed by a Participant on the Exchange.
    \4\ In the case where one Participant both executes a
transaction and clears the transaction, the ORF is assessed to the
Participant only once on the execution. In the case where one
Participant executes a transaction and a different Participant
clears the transaction, the ORF is assessed only to the Participant
who executes the transaction and is not assessed to the Participant
who clears the transaction. In the case where a non-member executes
a transaction and a Participant clears the transaction, the ORF is
assessed to the Participant who clears the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ORF is designed to recover a portion of the costs to the
Exchange of the supervision and regulation of its Participants,
including performing routine surveillances, investigations,
examinations, financial monitoring, and policy, rulemaking,
interpretive, and enforcement activities. The Exchange believes that
revenue generated from the ORF, when combined with all of the
Exchange's other regulatory fees, will cover a material portion, but
not all, of the Exchange's regulatory costs. The Exchange will continue
to monitor the amount of revenue collected from the ORF to ensure that
it, in combination with its other regulatory fees and fines, does not
exceed regulatory costs. If the Exchange determines regulatory revenues
exceed regulatory costs, the Exchange will adjust the ORF by submitting
a fee change filing to the Commission.
ORF Adjustments
    The Exchange proposes to increase the ORF from $0.0015 to $0.0019
as of February 1, 2016 in order to balance the Exchange's regulatory
revenue against the anticipated costs. The Exchange regularly reviews
its ORF to ensure that the ORF, in combination with its other
regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed regulatory costs. The
Exchange believes this adjustment will permit the Exchange to cover a
material portion of its regulatory costs, while not exceeding
regulatory costs.
Semi-Annual Changes to ORF
    Currently, the ORF specifies the Exchange may only increase or
decrease the ORF semi-annually, and any such fee change will be
effective on the first business day of February or August.\5\ The
Exchange is proposing to eliminate this requirement because the
Exchange believes it requires the flexibility to amend its ORF to meet
its regulatory requirements and adjust its ORF to account for the
regulatory revenue that it receives and the costs that it incurs, as
needed. While the Exchange is eliminating the requirement to adjust
only semi-annually, it will continue to submit a rule proposal with the
Commission for each modification to the ORF and notify participants via
an Options Trader Alert of any anticipated

change in the amount of the fee at least thirty (30) calendar days
prior to the effective date. The Exchange believes that the prior
notification to market participants will provide guidance on the timing
of any changes to the ORF and ensure market participants are prepared
to configure their systems to properly account for the ORF. The
Exchange notified Participants of this ORF adjustment thirty (30)
calendar days prior to the proposed operative date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See NOM Rules at Chapter XV, Section 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and issuers and other persons using any facility or
system which the Exchange operates or controls, and is not designed to
permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that increasing the ORF from $0.0015 to
$0.0019 as of February 1, 2016 is reasonable because the Exchange's
collection of ORF needs to be balanced against the amount of regulatory
revenue collected by the Exchange. The Exchange believes that the
proposed adjustments noted herein will serve to balance the Exchange's
regulatory revenue against the anticipated regulatory costs.
    The Exchange believes that increasing the ORF from $0.0015 to
$0.0019 as of February 1, 2016 is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory because this adjustment would be applicable to all
members on all of their transactions that clear as Customer at OCC. In
addition, the ORF seeks to recover the costs of supervising and
regulating members, including performing routine surveillances,
investigations, examinations, financial monitoring, and policy,
rulemaking, interpretive, and enforcement activities.
    The ORF is not charged for member proprietary options transactions
because members incur the costs of owning memberships and through their
memberships are charged transaction fees, dues and other fees that are
not applicable to non-members. Moreover, the Exchange believes the ORF
ensures fairness by assessing higher fees to those members that require
more Exchange regulatory services based on the amount of Customer
options business they conduct.
    Regulating Customer trading activity is more labor intensive and
requires greater expenditure of human and technical resources than
regulating non-Customer trading activity. Surveillance, regulation and
examination of non-Customer trading activity generally tends to be more
automated and less labor intensive. As a result, the costs associated
with administering the Customer component of the Exchange's overall
regulatory program are anticipated to be higher than the costs
associated with administering the non-Customer component of its
regulatory program. The Exchange proposes assessing higher fees to
those members that will require more Exchange regulatory services based
on the amount of Customer options business they conduct.\8\
Additionally, the dues and fees paid by members go into the general
funds of the Exchange, a portion of which is used to help pay the costs
of regulation. The Exchange has in place a regulatory structure to
surveil for, exam [sic] and monitor the marketplace for violations of
Exchange Rules. The ORF assists the Exchange to fund the cost of this
regulation of the marketplace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The ORF is not charged for orders that clear in categories
other than the Customer range at OCC (e.g., NOM Market Maker orders)
because members incur the costs of memberships and through their
memberships are charged transaction fees, dues and other fees that
go into the general funds of the Exchange, a portion of which is
used to help pay the costs of regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change to remove the
limit to amend the ORF only semi-annually, with advance notice, is
reasonable because the Exchange will continue to provide market
participants with thirty (30) days advance notice of amending its ORF.
Also, the Exchange is required to monitor the amount of revenue
collected from the ORF to ensure that it, in combination with its other
regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed regulatory costs. Therefore,
the Exchange believes it is reasonable to remove the semi-annual limit
to amend its ORF in order to permit the Exchange to make amendments to
its ORF as necessary to comply with the Exchange's obligations.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change to remove the
limit to amend the ORF only semi-annually, with advance notice, is
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because it will apply in the
same manner to all members that are subject to the ORF. Also, all
members will continue to receive advance notice of changes to the ORF.

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. In terms of inter-market
competition, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive, or rebate opportunities available at other venues to be more
favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually adjust
its fees to remain competitive with other exchanges and with
alternative trading systems that have been exempted from compliance
with the statutory standards applicable to exchanges. Because
competitors are free to modify their own fees in response, and because
market participants may readily adjust their order routing practices,
the Exchange believes that the degree to which fee changes in this
market may impose any burden on competition is extremely limited.
    The Exchange does not believe that increasing its ORF creates an
undue burden on intra-market competition because the adjustment will
apply to all members on all of their transactions that clear as
Customer at OCC. The Exchange is obligated to ensure that the amount of
regulatory revenue collected from the ORF, in combination with its
other regulatory fees and fines, does not exceed regulatory costs.
Additionally, the dues and fees paid by members go into the general
funds of the Exchange, a portion of which is used to help pay the costs
of regulation. The Exchange's members are subject to ORF on other
options markets.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The following options exchanges assess an ORF, [sic] Chicago
Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE''), C2 Options
Exchange, Inc. (``C2''), the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``ISE''), NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSEArca'') and [sic] NYSE AMEX LLC
(``NYSEAmex''), BATS Exchange, Inc. (``BATS'') and NASDAQ OMX PHLX
LLC (``Phlx' [sic]'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe that removing the limit to amend the
ORF semi-annually, with advance notice, creates an undue burden on
competition. The Exchange will continue to provide the same advance
notice of changes to the ORF as it does today.

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.

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

change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension: Form 15F;
    OMB Control No. 3235-0621, SEC File No. 270-559.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form 15F (17 CFR 249.324) is filed by a foreign private issuer when
terminating its Exchange Act reporting obligations pursuant to under
Exchange Act Rule 12h-6 (240.12h-6). Form 15F requires a foreign
private issuer to disclose information that helps investors understand
the foreign private issuer's decision to terminate its Exchange Act
reporting obligations and assist Commission staff in determining
whether the filer is eligible to terminate its Exchange Act reporting
obligations pursuant to Rule 12h-6. Rule 12h-6 provides a process for a
foreign private issuer to exit the Exchange Act registration and
reporting regime when there is relatively little U.S. investor interest
in its securities. Rule 12h-6 is intended to remove a disincentive for
foreign private issuers to register their securities with the
Commission by lessening concerns that the Exchange Act registration and
reporting system would be difficult to exit once an issuer enters it.
We estimate that Form 15F takes approximately 30 hours to prepare and
is filed by approximately 100 issuers. We estimate that 25% of the 30
hours per response (7.5 hours per response) is prepared by the filer
for a total annual reporting burden of 750 hours (7.5 hours per
response x 100 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Please direct your written comment to Thomas Bayer, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0702]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Lake Washington Ship Canal,
Seattle, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Montlake Bridge across the Lake

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Washington Department of Transportation
(bridge owner), has requested a temporary deviation from the operating
schedule for the Montlake Bridge across the Lake Washington Ship Canal,
at mile 5.2, at Seattle, WA. The deviation is necessary to manage heavy
vehicular traffic expected for University of Washington football games.
While all dates have been released, exact game times for five of the
six events scheduled for Husky Stadium have not yet been determined by
the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The times for TBA (Time
to Be Announced) closures on September 22, 2018, September 29, 2018,
October 20, 2018, November 3, 2018 and November 17, 2018 will be
announced in the Local Notice to Mariners as they become available. The
Montlake Bridge in the closed-to-navigation position provides 30 feet
of vertical clearance throughout

the navigation channel, and 46 feet of vertical clearance throughout
the center 60 feet of the bridge; vertical clearance references to the
Mean Water Level of Lake Washington.
    The normal operating schedule for the Montlake Bridge operates in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.1051(e). The deviation period and span
operation is described in the table below:

    Waterway usage on the Lake Washington Ship Canal ranges from
commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. Vessels able to pass
through the bridge in the closed-to-navigation position may do so at
anytime. The bridge will be able to open for emergency vessels in route
to a call when an hour notice is given to the bridge operator. The Lake
Washington Ship Canal has no immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways
through our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in
operating schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: July 31, 2018.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
