Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0197, dated September 4, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A330-223F and -243F airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During inspection of various fuselage areas on some A330-200F
aeroplanes on the production line, prior to delivery, some fasteners
were found missing.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
crack initiation and propagation, possibly resulting in reduced
structural integrity of the fuselage.
    To address this condition, Airbus issued several Service
Bulletins (SB), providing inspection and modification instructions,
as applicable.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
detailed inspections of the affected areas and, depending on
findings, accomplishment of the applicable corrective actions.

    Corrective actions include replacing any missing, damaged, or
incorrectly installed fasteners, and repair of any discrepancy
(deformation or cracking of the fastener rows) of the affected fuselage
frame areas. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet
at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2015-8136.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued the following service information:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3202, dated May 6, 2014
(Inspections).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3212, dated May 6, 2014
(Inspections).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3213, dated May 6, 2014
(Inspections).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3214, dated May 6, 2014
(Inspections).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3216, dated May 6, 2014
(Modification).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3217, dated May 6, 2014
(Modification).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3218, dated May 6, 2014
(Modification).
     Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3219, dated May 6, 2014
(Modification).

    The service information describes procedures for inspecting for
missing, damaged, or incorrectly installed fasteners; and corrective
actions if necessary. The service information also describes procedures
for modification of certain sections of the fuselage. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

Explanation of ``RC'' Procedures and Tests in Service Information

    The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee
(ARC), to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a new process for
annotating which procedures and tests in the service information are
required for compliance with an AD. Differentiating these procedures
and tests from other tasks in the service information is expected to
improve an owner's/operator's understanding of crucial AD requirements
and help provide consistent judgment in AD compliance. The procedures
and tests identified as RC (required for compliance) in any service
information have a direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving,
or eliminating an identified unsafe condition.
    As specified in a NOTE under the Accomplishment Instructions of the
specified service information, procedures and tests that are identified
as RC in any service information must be done to comply with the
proposed AD. However, procedures and tests that are not identified as
RC are recommended. Those procedures and tests that are not identified
as RC may be deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with
the operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC), provided the
procedures and tests identified as RC can be done and the airplane can
be put back in an airworthy condition. Any substitutions or changes to
procedures or tests identified as RC will require approval of an AMOC.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 3 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 10 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic inspection requirements of this proposed AD,
and 1 work-hour per product to report inspection findings. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $2,805, or $935
per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary modification would take
about 40 work-hours and require parts costing $210, for a cost of
$3,610 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this action.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
a cost estimate for the on-condition repairs specified in this proposed
AD.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    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.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Danville, PA, to
accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS)
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures at Danville Airport. This
action enhances the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the airport. This action also corrects the airspace
designation and makes a minor adjustment to the geographic coordinates
of the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 9, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 31, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish Class E airspace at
Danville, PA (76 FR 54155). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA found the airspace designation to be incomplete,
and the geographic coordinates needed to be adjusted; this rule makes
the adjustments. Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective
September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to support new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures developed at Danville Airport, Danville, PA. This
action also corrects the airspace designation from AEA PA E5 Danville,
PA to AEA PA E5 Danville Airport, PA, and adjusts the geographic
coordinates of the airport to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical
database. This enhances the safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport. Except for editorial changes, and the changes noted above,
this action is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.
    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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. 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.
    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
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 establishes Class E airspace at Danville Airport, Danville, PA.

Edmund A. Knolle., Mobay Storage Hub, Inc., San Felipe Plaza, 5847 San
Felipe, Suite 3050, Houston, Texas 77057, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be

required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except
for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission)
and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's
final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments
protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
(http://www.ferc.gov) site under the ``e-Filing'' link.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65630; File No. SR-C2-2011-030]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Close Trading at 3 p.m. Chicago Time on the
Last Day of Trading of Expiring P.M.-Settled S&P 500 Options

October 26, 2011.
    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 October 17, 2011, the C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (the
``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial''
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act
\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

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

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

    Prior to the commencement of the listing and trading on C2 of
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (``S&P 500'') options with third-Friday-of-
the-month (``Expiration Friday'') expiration dates for which the
exercise settlement value will be based on the index value derived from
the closing prices of component securities (``PM-settled''),\5\ the
Exchange proposes to close trading at 3 p.m. Chicago time (all times
referenced herein to be Chicago time) on the last day of trading of
expiring P.M.-settled S&P 500 options. Non-expiring P.M.-settled S&P
500 options will continue to trade until 3:15 p.m. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Listing and trading of P.M.-settled S&P 500 options has
already commenced, but the Exchange intends to have this change in
place prior to the first Expiration Friday for such products. See
email from Jeff Dritz, Attorney, C2, to Sara Hawkins, Special
Counsel, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission on October 20,
2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On September 2, 2011, the Commission approved a rule change filed
by the Exchange to permit, on a pilot basis, the listing and trading on
C2 of PM-settled S&P 500 options.\6\ The Exchange now proposes, prior
to the commencement of trading of such products, to close trading at 3
p.m. on the last day of trading of expiring P.M.-settled S&P 500
options. Non-expiring P.M.-settled S&P 500 options will continue to
trade until 3:15 p.m.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-65256 (September
2, 2011), 76 FR 55969 (September 9, 2011) (SR-C2-2011-008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The S&P 500 is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks from a
broad range of industries. The component stocks are weighted according
to the total market value of their outstanding shares. The impact of a
component's price change is proportional to the issue's total market
share value, which is the share price times the number of shares
outstanding. These are summed for all 500 stocks and divided by a
predetermined base value. The base value for the S&P 500 is adjusted to
reflect changes in capitalization resulting from, among

other things, mergers, acquisitions, stock rights, and
substitutions.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PM-settled S&P 500 options will have a $100 multiplier, and the
minimum trading increment would be $0.05 for options trading below
$3.00 and $0.10 for all other series. Strike price intervals will be
set no less than 5 points apart. Expiration processing would occur on
Saturday following the Expiration Friday. The product will have
European-style exercise, and because it is based on the S&P 500 index,
there will be no position limits.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PM-settled S&P 500 options will be priced in the market based on
corresponding futures values. The primary listing markets for the
component securities that comprise the S&P 500 close trading in those
securities at 3 p.m. The primary listing exchanges for the component
securities disseminate an official closing price of the component
securities, which is used by S&P to calculate the exercise settlement
value of the S&P 500. C2 believes that, under normal trading
circumstances, the primary listing markets have sufficient bandwidth to
prevent any data queuing that would cause any trades that are executed
prior to the closing time from being reported after 3 p.m. Despite the
fact that the exercise settlement value will be fixed at or soon after
3 p.m., trading in expiring PM-settled S&P 500 options would continue,
under current rules, for an additional fifteen minutes until 3:15 p.m.
and will not be priced on corresponding futures values, but rather the
known cash value. At the same time, the prices of non-expiring PM-
settled S&P 500 options series will continue to move and be priced in
response to changes in corresponding futures prices.
    A potential pricing divergence could occur between 3 and 3:15 p.m.
on the final trading day in expiring PM-settled S&P 500 options (e.g.,
switch from pricing off of futures to cash). Further, in a wholly
electronic marketplace, the switch from pricing off of futures to cash
can be a difficult and risky switchover for liquidity providers. As a
result, without closing expiring contracts at 3 p.m., it is foreseeable
that market-makers would react by widening spreads in order compensate
for the additional risk. Therefore, the Exchange believes that, in
order to mitigate potential investor confusion and the potential for
increased costs to investors, it is appropriate to cease trading in
expiring PM-settled S&P 500 options contracts at 3 p.m. The Exchange
does not believe that the proposed change will impact volatility on the
underlying cash market at the close on Expiration Friday.
    The proposed change is identical in nature to two effective rule
changes filed by Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'').\9\ In those filings, CBOE changed the close of trading
hours from 3:15 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the last day of trading in expiring
End-of-Week (``EOW''), End-of-Month (``EOM'') and Quarterly Index
(``QIX'') Expirations.\10\ In the current situation, the Exchange
merely proposes to apply the precedent established regarding those PM-
settled products to expiring PM-settled S&P 500 options contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-64243 (April 7,
2011), 75 FR 20771 (April 13, 2011) (SR-CBOE-2011-038) and
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-59676 (April 1, 2009), 74 FR
16018 (April 8, 2009) (SR-CBOE-2009-020).
    \10\ See supra note 9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given the fact that the Commission approved the listing and trading
of PM-settled S&P 500 options on a pilot basis and that such pilot
program is scheduled to end on November 2, 2012, the rule change
proposed herein would also terminate on November 2, 2012 (unless the
pilot period for the listing and trading of PM-settled S&P 500 options
were to be extended or the program made permanent).
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act \11\ and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in
particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\12\
Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \13\ requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove
impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest. Preventing continued trading on a product after
the exercise settlement value has been fixed eliminates potential
confusion and thereby protects investors and the public interest.

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    C2 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.

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

    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, provided that the self-regulatory
organization has given the Commission written notice of its intent to
file 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,\14\ the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend section 202.06 of the NYSE Listed
Company Manual (the ``Manual'') to expand the pre-market hours during
which listed companies are required to notify the Exchange prior to
disseminating material news, to permit the Exchange to halt trading in
certain additional circumstances, including when it needs to obtain
more information about a listed company news release, and to provide
guidance related to the release of material news after the close of
trading on the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site 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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The NYSE proposes to amend section 202.06 of the Manual to (i)
expand the pre-market hours during which listed companies are required
to notify the Exchange prior to disseminating material news, and (ii)
provide the Exchange with authority to halt trading (a) during pre-
market hours at the request of a listed company, (b) when the Exchange
believes it is necessary to request certain information from listed
companies, and (c) when an Exchange-listed security is also listed on
another national or foreign securities exchange and such other exchange
halts trading in such security for regulatory reasons. The Exchange
also proposes to amend section 202.06 of the Manual to provide guidance
related to the release of material news after the close of trading on
the Exchange.
    Section 202.06 of the Manual gives the Exchange authority to halt
trading in a listed company's security under certain circumstances.
Currently, the Exchange may impose a regulatory trading halt when a
listed company announces material news \3\ shortly before the opening
of trading on the Exchange or during the Exchange trading session
(currently 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). When that happens, the Exchange
will typically institute a regulatory halt in trading, which halts
trading on all market centers, to ensure full dissemination of the news
to investors. The Exchange proposes to expand the hours and
circumstances under which it can declare a regulatory trading halt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange considers material news to be any news that is
reasonably likely to have a material impact on the price or trading
volume of a listed security.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regulatory Trading Halts
    Currently, section 202.06 of the Manual requires listed companies
to notify the Exchange at least ten minutes in advance of releasing
material news if such release will take place shortly before the
opening of trading on the Exchange or during Exchange market hours (the
``Material News Policy'').\4\ The Exchange proposes to amend section
202.06 to require companies to comply with the Material News Policy
between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. In the Exchange's
experience, most companies release news related to corporate actions
and other material events between 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Although
trading on the Exchange does not begin until 9:30 a.m., the Exchange
believes that material news released between 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
has the potential to cause volatility in both price and volume during
pre-market trading that occurs on other market centers as well as once
trading opens on the Exchange. However, because there is a lower volume
of trading in such pre-market hours, the Exchange believes that a
listed company is most well positioned to determine whether a trading
halt is appropriate given the news it intends to release. Therefore, to
facilitate an orderly opening and ensure thorough dissemination of
material news, the Exchange believes it is beneficial to require
companies to comply with the Material News Policy

and advise whether a trading halt is appropriate during pre-market
hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ At the time section 202.06 of the Manual was last amended,
the Exchange had an off-hours trading session in which securities
could be traded at Exchange closing prices after the Exchange's 4:00
p.m. close until 5:00 p.m. As such off-hour trading session no
longer exists, the Exchange proposes to amend Section 202.06 of the
Manual to specify that the Exchange's market hours end at 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed above, when a listed company releases material news
during the course of the trading day, the Exchange will typically halt
trading temporarily to ensure full dissemination of the news. Under the
proposed rules, between 7:00 a.m. and the opening of trading on the
Exchange, the Exchange may implement a regulatory halt in circumstances
where (i) the listed company has informed Exchange staff that it
intends to make a public announcement of material news and (ii) the
listed company requests that trading in its listed securities be halted
pending dissemination of the public announcement (a ``Pre-Market
Halt'').\5\ While trading on the Exchange does not begin until 9:30
a.m. Eastern Time, trading (including trading in Exchange-listed
securities) begins on NYSE Arca Equities, Inc., the Nasdaq Stock Market
and other national securities exchanges at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time. When
the Exchange implements a regulatory trading halt to allow for the
release of material news, other national securities exchanges that
trade Exchange-listed securities also halt trading in such security
until the Exchange lifts the halt.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ However, the proposed rule will state that if it appears
that dissemination of material news will not be complete prior to
the opening of trading on the Exchange at 9:30 a.m., the Exchange
may temporarily halt trading solely in its own discretion in order
to facilitate an orderly opening process. This is consistent with
the Exchange's current practice.
    \6\ See, for example, NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.18 and Nasdaq
Stock Market Rule 4120(a)(2) for the authority to initiate a trading
halt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the volume of trading in the hours before
trading begins on the Exchange is generally lighter and conducted
predominantly by professional investors. Because of this reduced
trading volume and the fact that the Exchange itself is not yet open
for trading during these hours, the Exchange believes it is appropriate
to institute a Pre-Market Halt only at the request of a listed company.
The Exchange notes that the Nasdaq Stock Market (``Nasdaq'') has
adopted a comparable rule with respect to trading halts between the
hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.\7\ Lastly, when a trading halt is
implemented during Exchange market hours, NYSE Rule 123D specifies that
a Floor Governor or two Floor Officials must approve the halt in
trading. However, because a Pre-Market Halt will only be instituted at
the request of a listed company and because Floor Governors and Floor
Officials are not typically on the trading floor during pre-market
hours, the Exchange proposes to include a statement that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in NYSE Rule 123D(1), the
approval of the Floor Governors or Floor Officials is not required for
a Pre-Market Halt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See, for example, Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 4120(a)(1) which
applies between the hours of 4:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to further amend section 202.06 of the Manual
to set forth circumstances in which it may institute a regulatory halt
while it awaits information requested from a listed company. Section
202.06 of the Manual currently limits the Exchange's authority to halt
trading to situations when a listed company intends to release material
news during market hours. However, in the Exchange's experience there
are other scenarios when it may be advisable to halt trading for the
protection of investors. For example, if there is uncertainty
surrounding material news issued by a listed company or a company's
compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards, the
Exchange believes it may be appropriate to halt trading while it
gathers information to resolve such ambiguity. Accordingly, the
Exchange proposes to amend section 202.06 of the Manual to state that
if it is necessary to request information from a listed company
relating to (i) material news, (ii) the listed company's compliance
with Exchange continued listing requirements, or (iii) any other
information which is necessary to protect investors and the public
interest, the Exchange may halt trading in such listed company's
security until it has received and evaluated the requested information.
The proposed change in this regard mirrors Nasdaq Stock Market Rule
4120(a)(5).
    As discussed above, the Exchange believes that the release of
material news immediately prior to the commencement of trading on the
Exchange has the potential to cause significant volatility to the
opening process. Similarly, material news released immediately after
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time can interfere with the closing process. Although
trading on the Exchange stops at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the order book
for each listed security is manually closed by the security's
Designated Market Maker (``DMM''), a process that can take several
minutes before the closing auction is completed. Because trading
continues after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on other exchanges, if a listed
company releases material news immediately after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
there can be significant price movement on other markets when compared
to the last sale price on the Exchange. The result, therefore, is that
a DMM can be executing trades at the Exchange closing price while the
same security is simultaneously trading on other exchanges at a very
different price. As this discrepancy can cause confusion to investors,
the Exchange proposes to include advisory text in section 202.06 of the
Manual requesting that listed companies intending to release material
news after the close of trading on the Exchange wait until the earlier
of the publication of their security's official closing price on the
Exchange or 15 minutes after the scheduled closing time on the
Exchange.\8\ The Exchange proposes to specify that trading on the
Exchange typically closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, except that on
certain days trading closes early at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. As
discussed in Footnote 4, above, the Exchange no longer has an off-hours
trading session. Therefore, the Exchange proposes to delete obsolete
text (marked with an asterisk) related to such session.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Although the Exchange typically closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time, there are certain days each year when it closes at 1:00 p.m.
Eastern Time. The phrase ``15 minutes after the scheduled closing
time'' will account for these early closings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, the Exchange proposes to amend section 202.06 of the Manual
to state that it may halt trading in an American Depositary Receipt
(``ADR'') or other security listed on the Exchange, when the Exchange-
listed security (or the security underlying the ADR) is listed on or
registered with another national securities exchange or foreign
exchange or market and such other exchange (or regulatory authority
overseeing such exchange) halts trading in such security for regulatory
reasons. The Exchange notes that Nasdaq has also adopted this practice
under Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 4120(a)(4).
Additional Proposed Changes
    Section 202.06(C) of the Manual requires companies to release
material news by the fastest available means. Pursuant to section
202.06(A) of the Manual, listed companies can disclose such material
news via any Regulation FD compliant method, including by filing a Form
8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'').
Currently, section 202.06(C) includes advisory text on the best way to
release material news to ensure immediate and widespread coverage. The
Exchange believes that much of this advisory text is outdated as it
refers to, among other things, the release of news by telephone,
facsimile or hand delivery. Instead, the Exchange

proposes to include a concise statement that listed companies releasing
material news should either (i) include the news in a Form 8-K or other
Commission filing, or (ii) issue the news in a press release to the
major news wire services, including, at a minimum, Dow Jones & Company,
Inc., Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News. The
Exchange believes that distribution by either of these methods is
consistent with current disclosure practices and ensures adequate
dissemination. To make sections 202.06(B) and 202.06(C) consistent, the
Exchange proposes to amend section 202.06(B) of the Manual to delete a
reference to ``Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg'' and replace it with a
reference to the ``major'' news wires.
    The Exchange proposes to make a number of other non-substantive
changes to sections 202.03, 202.04 and 202.06 of the Manual. In
sections 202.03, 202.04 and 202.06(B)-(C), the Exchange proposes to
delete the word ``representative'' after Exchange as listed companies
do not have a designated Exchange representative to whom they should
communicate in relation to material news.\9\ Similarly, in section
202.06 of the Manual, the Exchange proposes to remove a reference to
the ``specialist's book'' as such book no longer exists. Instead, the
Exchange will include a reference to ``the Exchange.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Currently, the Exchange's Market Watch team performs this
function. However, as the official title of different groups
occasionally changes, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to
refer simply to ``the Exchange'' consistent with elsewhere in the
Manual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In section 202.06 of the Manual, the Exchange proposes to revise
the section headings to accurately reflect the new rule text as
described herein.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with section 6(b) \10\ of the Act, in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular in that it
is designed 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.
The Exchange believes that the proposed amendment is consistent with
the investor protection objectives of section 6(b)(5) because it gives
the Exchange greater flexibility to implement regulatory trading halts
in a listed security when such halts may be necessary for the
protection of investors. Specifically, the proposed rule change will
alter the hours in which listed companies are required to comply with
the Material News Policy such that the hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. Eastern Time (rather than just shortly before the opening of
trading on the Exchange and during the Exchange trading session, as is
currently the case). The proposed rule change will also enable the
Exchange to (i) implement a Pre-Market Halt at the request of a listed
company when the company intends to issue material news between 7:00
a.m. and 9.30 a.m. Eastern Time, (ii) halt trading when it believes it
is necessary to request certain information from listed companies, and
(iii) halt trading in an ADR or other Exchange-listed security when the
Exchange-listed security or the security underlying the ADR is listed
on or registered with another national securities exchange or foreign
exchange or market and is halted on such other exchange or market for
regulatory reasons. Further, the Exchange proposes to include a concise
statement, in lieu of existing advisory text, that listed companies
releasing material news should either (i) include the news in a Form 8-
K or other Commission filing, or (ii) issue the news in a press release
to the major news wire services, including, at a minimum, Dow Jones &
Company, Inc., Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News.
The Exchange believes that distribution by either of these methods is
consistent with current disclosure practices and ensures adequate
dissemination to the public. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
include advisory text in section 202.06 of the Manual requesting that
listed companies intending to release material news after the close of
trading on the Exchange wait until the earlier of the publication of
their security's official closing price on the Exchange or 15 minutes
after the scheduled closing time on the Exchange. The Exchange believes
this change will eliminate confusion to investors when a DMM is
executing a trade at the Exchange closing price while the same security
is simultaneously trading on other exchange [sic] at a very different
price. The Exchange believes that each of the proposed changes
enumerated above are [sic] consistent with the investor protection
objectives of section 6(b)(5) because they provide the Exchange with
additional authority to halt trading in circumstances where material
news that may impact trading is to be released by listed companies or
has not yet been fully disseminated. The Exchange believes that
material news is highly relevant to investors when deciding to buy or
sell securities and thus providing the Exchange with additional
authority to halt trading while such news is released and disseminated
is protective of investors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the protection of investors because it will specify in
Exchange rules the scenarios in which a trading halt may be necessary,
thereby promoting transparency in Exchange rules and making them easier
to navigate. In giving the Exchange authority to declare regulatory
trading halts in situations described herein, the proposed rule change
enables the Exchange to act in the best interest of protecting
investors.

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

    The Exchange believes that section 202.06 of the Manual, as
amended, do [sic] not impose any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. As
discussed herein, the Exchanges [sic] proposed amendments to section
202.06 of the Manual are designed to give the Exchange greater
flexibility to halt trading in a particular listed security when the
Exchange believes a halt is necessary or appropriate. Currently,
section 202.06 of the Manual only permits the Exchange to implement
regulatory trading halts for the dissemination of material news. As
currently drafted, the Exchange believes these rules are unnecessarily
restrictive and do not cover the full spectrum of situations where a
trading halt may be necessary for the protection of investors. In
addition, the Exchange believes that its proposed changes are
consistent with the Nasdaq rules with respect to trading halts. For the
foregoing reasons, therefore, the Exchange does not believe that such
changes 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 solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires a
self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission with written
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 has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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