SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71818; File No. SR-NYSEARCA-2014-27]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Amending Rule 6.62
To Specifically Address the Number and Size of Contra-Parties To a
Qualified Contingent Cross Order

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that on March 19, 2014, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') 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 self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 6.62 (Certain Types of Orders
Defined) to specifically address the number and size of contra-parties
to a Qualified Contingent Cross Order (``QCC Order''). 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 purpose of this rule filing is to amend Rule 6.62 to
specifically address the number and size of contra-parties to a QCC
Order. The proposed rule change, which mirrors a recently adopted rule
by the International Securities Exchange (``ISE''),\4\ is intended to
accommodate multiple contra-parties, so long as each contra-side order
meets the minimum size requirements as discussed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71182 (December, 24,
2013), 78 FR 79721 (December 31, 2013) (SR-ISE-2013-71).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange adopted the QCC Order type on March 17, 2011.\5\ Under
current Rule 6.62(bb), a QCC Order must be comprised of an order to buy
or sell at least 1,000 contracts \6\ that is identified as being part
of a qualified contingent trade,\7\ coupled with a contra-side order to
buy or sell an equal number of contracts. As Qualified Contingent
Crosses, QCC Orders are automatically executed upon entry provided that
the execution (i) is not at the same price as a Customer Order in the
Consolidated Book and (ii) is at or between the NBBO.\8\ In addition,
QCC Orders that cannot be executed when entered will automatically
cancel.\9\ Finally, QCC

Orders may only be entered in the regular trading increments applicable
to the options class under Rule 6.72 (Trading Differentials).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64086 (March 17,
2011), 76 FR 16021 (March 22, 2011) (SR-NYSEArca-2011-09).
    \6\ In the case of mini options, the minimum size is 10,000
contracts.
    \7\ A ``qualified contingent trade'' must meet the following
conditions: (i) At least one component must be an NMS Stock; (ii)
all the components must be effected with a product price contingency
that either has been agreed to by all the respective counterparties
or arranged for by a broker-dealer as principal or agent; (iii) the
execution of one component must be contingent upon the execution of
all other components at or near the same time; (iv) the specific
relationship between the component orders (e.g., the spread between
the prices of the component orders) must be determined by the time
the contingent order is placed; (v) the component orders must bear a
derivative relationship to one another, represent different classes
of shares of the same issuer, or involve the securities of
participants in mergers or with intentions to merge that have been
announced or cancelled; and (vi) the transaction must be fully
hedged (without regard to any prior existing position) as a result
of other components of the contingent trade. In addition, ATP
Holders must demonstrate that the transaction is fully hedged using
reasonable risk-valuation methodologies. See supra n.5 (citing
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57620 (April 4, 2008), 73 FR
19271 (April 9, 2008)).
    \8\ See Rule 6.90 (Qualified Contingent Crosses).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed above, to remain competitive with other options
exchanges,\10\ the Exchange proposes to amend its rules to provide that
a QCC Order must involve a single order for at least 1,000 contracts on
the originating side, but that the contra-side order may be comprised
of multiple orders, which in the aggregate equal the size of the
originating order, so long as each of the contra-side orders is for at
least 1,000 contracts.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra n. 4.
    \11\ In the case of mini options, the minimum size is 10,000
contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For instance, as proposed, a 5,000 contract originating QCC Order
to buy could be coupled with a contra-side order comprised of two
different sell orders of 2,500 contracts each. Similarly, as proposed,
a 5,000 contract originating QCC Order to buy could be coupled with a
contra-side order comprised of two different sell orders, one for 4,000
contracts and one for 1,000 contracts. In the above examples, each sell
(contra-side) order needs to be for a minimum of 1,000 contracts,
provided that the total of all sell (contra-side) orders equals the
size of the originating order and that originating order is at least
1,000 contracts.
    Accordingly, the Exchange is proposing to amend the definition of
QCC Order, as contained in current Rule 6.62(bb), to provide that an
originating order to buy or sell at least 1,000 contracts coupled with
a contra-side order or orders totaling an equal number of contracts is
permitted, so long as each contra-side order is for at least 1,000
contracts.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, in that it is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Specifically,
because the proposal provides that a QCC Order permits multiple contra-
parties, it should afford members and participants more certainty and,
therefore, provide more opportunity to participate in QCC trades,
consistent with the key principles behind the QCC Order.
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(8) of the Act, as it will enable the Exchange to compete
with other options exchanges, including the ISE,\12\ for QCC Orders
involving multiple parties, including where there are multiple contra-
parties. The Exchange believes that this would be beneficial to
participants because allowing multiple contra-parties of at least 1,000
contracts should foster competition for filling one side of a QCC Order
and thereby result in potentially better prices, as opposed to only
allowing one contra-party and, thereby requiring that contra-party to
do a larger size order which could result in a worse price for the
trade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See supra n.4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. In fact, the proposal is
intended to relieve a burden on competition, which results from
different exchanges interpreting their rules differently. Among the
options exchanges, the Exchange believes that the proposal to allow
multiple contra-parties of at least 1,000 contracts should foster
competition for filling the contra-side of a QCC order and thereby
result in potentially better prices for such orders. In addition, the
proposal will enable the Exchange to more effectively compete with
other option exchanges like the ISE that have already implement similar
rule changes.\13\

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

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 after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \14\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \15\
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give 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.
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 should be approved or disapproved.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727-100 and 727-200 Series
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Boeing Model 727-100 and 727-200 series airplanes. This
proposed AD would require repetitive internal and external high
frequency eddy current, mid frequency eddy current, low frequency eddy
current, and magneto optic imaging inspections to detect cracks,
corrosion, delamination, and materials loss in the lower fastener row
of the lower skin and the upper fastener row of the upper skin, and
corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD results from a report
of decompression in a Boeing Model 737 airplane at flight level 290. We
are proposing this AD to detect and correct scratches and excessive
reduction in material thickness from excessive blend-out or corrosion,
which could lead to premature cracking in the lap joint. Such cracking
could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 1,
2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2008-1103;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-048-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received a report of decompression in a Boeing Model 737
airplane at flight level (FL) 290. An investigation revealed that the
skin flapped between stringer (S)-4R and S-5R from body station (BS)
300 to BS 328. Examination of the skin showed cracks initiating at
scratches in the lower skin of a lap joint that was cold-bonded in
production. The lap splice had been separated for rework. These
conditions, if not corrected, may result in scratches and excessive
reduction in material thickness from excessive blend out or corrosion,
which could lead to premature cracking in the lap joint. Such cracking
could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
    The cold-bonded lap joints on certain Boeing Model 727 airplanes
are similar to those on the affected Model 737 and Model 747 airplanes.
Therefore, all of these models may be subject to the same unsafe
condition.

Other Relevant Rulemaking

    On November 7, 2003, we issued AD 2003-23-03, amendment 39-13367
(68 FR 64980, dated November 18, 2003), for certain Boeing Model 737-
100, -200, and -200C series airplanes. That AD requires repetitive
inspections to detect discrepancies in the upper and lower skins of the
fuselage lap joint and circumferential joint, and repair if necessary.
That AD requires a terminating modification for the repetitive
inspections.
    On June 9, 2004, we issued AD 2004-13-02, amendment 39-13682 (69 FR
35237, June 24, 2004), for certain Boeing Model 747-100, -200B, and -
200F series airplanes. That AD requires initial and repetitive
inspections to find discrepancies in the upper and lower skins of the
fuselage lap joints, and repair if necessary.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 727-53A0223, dated
March 28, 2002. The service bulletin describes procedures for
repetitive internal and external high frequency eddy current (HFEC),
mid frequency eddy current (MFEC), low frequency eddy current (LFEC),
and magneto optic imaging (MOI) inspections to detect cracks,
corrosion, delamination, and materials loss in the lower fastener row
of the lower skin and the upper fastener

row of the upper skin, and corrective actions if necessary. The
corrective actions include repairing all cracks; repairing skin
material loss that is greater than 10%; separating, cleaning, and
refastening corroded areas where skin loss is less than 10%; and
replacing remaining fasteners with serviceable fasteners, if necessary.
    The service bulletin also specifies compliance times for initial
HFEC, MFEC, LFEC, and MOI inspections ranging between 9 months or 1,500
flight cycles, whichever is earlier, and 60 months or 7,500 flight
cycles, whichever is earlier, depending on number of flight cycles on
the airplane. The service bulletin also specifies repetitive intervals
for HFEC, MFEC, LFEC, and MOI inspections every 2,000 or 7,000 flight
cycles, or every 4 years, depending on inspection area and type.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described previously, except as discussed under
``Differences Between the Proposed Rule and Referenced Service
Bulletin.''

Differences Between the Proposed Rule and Referenced Service Bulletin

    Operators should note that, although the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 727-53A0223, dated March
28, 2002, describes procedures for reporting all cracks and evidence of
corrosion to Boeing, this proposed AD would not require that action.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 73 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 56 work hours per
product to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80
per work hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD to the U.S. operators to be $327,040, or $4,480 per
product, per inspection cycle.

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), and
    3. 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Boeing: Docket No. FAA-2008-1103; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-
048-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by December 1, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Boeing Model 727-100 and 727-200 series
airplanes, certificated in any category; as identified in Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 727-53A0223, dated March 28, 2002.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This proposed AD results from a report of decompression in a
Boeing Model 737 airplane at flight level 290. We are proposing this
AD to detect and correct scratches and excessive reduction in
material thickness from excessive blend-out or corrosion, which
could lead to premature cracking in the lap joint. Such cracking
could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

Compliance

    (e) Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

Inspections and Corrective Actions

    (f) Except as provided by paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2), and
(f)(3)of this AD, at the applicable compliance times and repeat
intervals listed in paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 727-53A0223, dated March 28, 2002: Do repetitive
internal and external high frequency eddy current, mid frequency
eddy current, low frequency eddy current, and magneto optic imaging
inspections to detect cracks, corrosion, delamination, and materials
loss in the lower fastener row of the lower skin and the upper
fastener row of the upper skin, and corrective actions by
accomplishing all the applicable actions specified in the
Accomplishment Instructions of the service bulletin. The applicable
corrective actions must be done before further flight.
    (1) Where paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of the service
bulletin identifies airplanes, ``Airplane Fight Cycles (f/c) at time
of SB Release,'' this AD affects those airplanes with the specified
flight cycles as of the effective date of this AD.
    (2) Where paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of the service
bulletin specifies ``Initial Inspection Threshold From SB Rel Upper
and Lower Skin,'' the AD requires compliance within the specified
compliance times after the effective date of this AD.
    (3) Where paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of the service
bulletin specifies ``Repeat every * * *,'' this AD requires
compliance at intervals not to exceed the specified flight cycles or
years.

No Reporting

    (g) Although Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 727-53A0223, dated
March 28, 2002, specifies to submit information to the manufacturer,

evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's)
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report are used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for buildings and the contents of those
buildings.

for the FIRM and, where applicable, the supporting FIS report showing
the new or modified flood hazard information for each community.

Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov by the effective date indicated
above.

II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The six individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the epilepsy and seizure disorders prohibition in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(8). Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications
of each applicant to determine whether granting the exemption will
achieve the required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if

that person has no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause the loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.
    In addition to the regulations, FMCSA has published advisory
criteria \1\ to assist medical examiners (MEs) in determining whether
drivers with certain medical conditions are qualified to operate a CMV
in interstate commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These criteria may be found in APPENDIX A TO PART 391--
MEDICAL ADVISORY CRITERIA, section H. Epilepsy: Sec.  391.41(b)(8),
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, which is available on the internet at
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title49-vol5/pdf/CFR-2015-title49-vol5-part391-appA.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The criteria states that if an individual has had a sudden episode
of a non-epileptic seizure or loss of consciousness of unknown cause
that did not require anti-seizure medication, the decision whether that
person's condition is likely to cause the loss of consciousness or loss
of ability to control a CMV should be made on an individual basis by
the ME in consultation with the treating physician. Before
certification is considered, it is suggested that a 6-month waiting
period elapse from the time of the episode. Following the waiting
period, it is suggested that the individual have a complete
neurological examination. If the results of the examination are
negative and anti-seizure medication is not required, then the driver
may be qualified.
    In those individual cases where a driver has had a seizure or an
episode of loss of consciousness that resulted from a known medical
condition (e.g., drug reaction, high temperature, acute infectious
disease, dehydration, or acute metabolic disturbance), certification
should be deferred until the driver has recovered fully from that
condition, has no existing residual complications, and is not taking
anti-seizure medication.
    Drivers who have a history of epilepsy/seizures, off anti-seizure
medication and seizure-free for 10 years, may be qualified to operate a
CMV in interstate commerce. Interstate drivers with a history of a
single unprovoked seizure may be qualified to drive a CMV in interstate
commerce if seizure-free and off anti-seizure medication for a 5-year
period or more.
    As a result of MEs misinterpreting advisory criteria as regulation,
numerous drivers have been prohibited from operating a CMV in
interstate commerce based on the fact that they have had one or more
seizures and are taking anti-seizure medication, rather than an
individual analysis of their circumstances by a qualified ME based on
the physical qualification standards and medical best practices.
    On January 15, 2013, FMCSA announced in a Notice of Final
Disposition titled, ``Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications;
Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders,'' (78 FR 3069), its decision to grant
requests from 22 individuals for exemptions from the regulatory
requirement that interstate CMV drivers have ``no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which
is likely to cause loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to
control a CMV.'' Since that time, the Agency has published additional
notices granting requests from individuals for exemptions from the
regulatory requirement regarding epilepsy found in Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
    To be considered for an exemption from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in Sec.  391.41(b)(8), applicants must meet the
criteria in the 2007 recommendations of the Agency's Medical Expert
Panel (78 FR 3069).
