SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of January 19, 2017,
FDA published a notice announcing the availability of draft GFI #187
entitled ``Regulation of Intentionally Altered Genomic DNA in Animals''
with a 90-day comment period. We requested comments on expanding the
scope of the guidance to address animals intentionally altered through
use of genome editing techniques, nomenclature, and on whether certain

types of genome editing may pose minimal risk.
    We have received several requests for a 60-day extension of the
comment period for the draft guidance and the questions we posted in
the notice announcing the availability of the guidance. Each request
conveyed concern that the current 90-day comment period does not allow
sufficient time to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the
draft guidance and the questions in the notice.
    We have considered the requests and are extending the comment
period for the draft guidance for 60 days, until June 19, 2017. A 60-
day extension allows more time for interested persons to submit
comments, including comments on all aspects of the draft guidance.

    Dated: April 7, 2017.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63067; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2010-78]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Granting
Approval of Proposed Rule Change Relating to Listing and Trading Shares
of Jefferies Commodity Real Return ETF

October 8, 2010.

I. Introduction

    On August 17, 2010, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
list and trade shares (``Shares'') of Jefferies Commodity Real Return
ETF (the ``Fund''). The proposed rule change was published for comment
in the

Federal Register on September 3, 2010.\3\ The Commission received no
comments on the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62768 (August 26,
2010), 75 FR 54199 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The Exchange proposes to list and trade the Shares pursuant to NYSE
Arca Equities Rule 8.200, Commentary .02, which governs the listing and
trading of Trust Issuer Receipts (``TIRs'') that invest in ``Financial
Instruments.'' The Exchange represents that the Shares satisfy the
requirements of NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.200, Commentary .02, and
thereby qualify for listing on the Exchange.
    As described in greater detail in the Notice, the Fund will invest
substantially all of its assets in exchange-traded futures in
commodities that comprise the Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB 3 Month
Forward Index (``Index''), or in other derivatives. The Fund
establishes long positions in futures contracts on the nineteen
physical commodities that comprise the Index (``Index Commodities'')
with the goal of tracking the changes, either positive or negative, to
the Index over time. The Managing Owner of the Fund adjusts the Fund's
portfolio from time to time to conform to periodic changes in the
identity and/or relative weighting of the Index Commodities.
    The Exchange deems the Shares to be equity securities, which
subjects trading in the Shares to the Exchange's existing rules
governing the trading of equity securities, and has represented that
trading in the Shares on the Exchange will occur in accordance with
NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.200(e). The Exchange has also represented
that it has appropriate rules to facilitate transactions in the Shares
during all trading sessions.
    Additional details regarding the Shares and the Fund including,
among other things, the organization and structure of the Fund, the
dissemination and availability of information about the Fund and the
Index, trading halts, applicable trading rules, surveillance, and the
Information Bulletin can be found in the Notice.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission's Findings

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\5\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\6\ which requires, among other things, that the Exchange's rules
be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that it has previously permitted the listing
and trading of TIRs based on commodities indexes.\7\ In addition, the
Shares will be listed and traded pursuant to Commentary .02 to NYSE
Arca Equities Rule 8.200, and the Exchange represents that the Shares
will conform to the existing initial and continued listing criteria
under this rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58457 (September 3,
2008), 73 FR 52711 (September 10, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2008-91)
(Listing of fourteen funds of the Currency and Commodity Trust
pursuant to Rule 8.200, Commentary .02.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Commission finds that the proposal to list and
trade the Shares on the Exchange is consistent with Section
11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act,\8\ which sets forth Congress' finding
that it is in the public interest and appropriate for the protection of
investors and the maintenance of fair and orderly markets to assure the
availability to brokers, dealers and investors of information with
respect to quotations for and transactions in securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Quotation and last-sale information for the Shares will be
disseminated through the facilities of the Consolidated Tape
Association. The Intra-day Indicative Value (``IIV'') will be published
by the Fund's Index Calculation Agent every 15 seconds through one or
more major market data vendors and on the Fund's Managing Owner's Web
site. The Net Asset Value (``NAV'') of the Fund will be published by
the Managing Owner of the Fund, and will be disseminated to all market
participants at the same time. The Exchange has also noted that
information regarding the closing prices and settlement prices of
futures on the Index Commodities are readily available from Web sites
of the applicable futures exchanges, automated quotation systems,
published or other public sources, or online information services such
as Bloomberg or Reuters. The relevant futures exchanges also provide
delayed futures information on current and past trading sessions and
market news free of charge on their respective Web sites. Moreover, the
Fund's Web site (http://www.jamfunds.com/jcis) will also disseminate
the Fund holdings on a daily basis.
    The Exchange shall make available on its Web site daily trading
volume of the Shares, closing prices of the Shares, and the
corresponding NAV. In addition, the Fund's website will provide the
following information: (1) The current net asset value per share daily
and the prior business day's NAV and the reported closing price; (2)
the mid-point of the bid-ask price in relation to the NAV as of the
time the NAV is calculated; (3) a calculation of the premium or
discount of such price against such NAV; (4) data in chart format
displaying the frequency distribution of discounts and premiums of the
Bid/Ask Price against the NAV, within appropriate ranges, for each of
the four previous calendar quarters; (5) the Fund's prospectus; and (6)
other applicable quantitative information.
    The Commission further believes that the proposal to list and trade
the Shares is reasonably designed to promote fair disclosure of
information that may be necessary to price the Shares appropriately and
to prevent trading when a reasonable degree of transparency cannot be
assured. The Exchange has represented that the NAV for the Fund will be
disseminated to all market participants at the same time. If the
Exchange becomes aware that the NAV with respect to the Shares is not
being disseminated to all market participants at the same time, it will
halt trading in the Shares until such time as the NAV is available to
all market participants. Furthermore, the Exchange has represented that
it may halt trading during the day in which the interruption to the
dissemination of the IIV, the Index or the value of the underlying
futures occurs.
    With respect to trading halts, the Exchange may consider all
relevant factors in exercising its discretion to halt or suspend
trading in the Shares. Trading on the Exchange in the Shares may be
halted because of market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of
the Exchange, make trading in the Shares inadvisable. These may
include: (1) The extent to which trading is not occurring in the
underlying futures contracts; or (2) whether other unusual conditions
or circumstances detrimental to the maintenance of a fair

and orderly market are present. In addition, trading in Shares will be
subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility
pursuant to the Exchange's ``circuit breaker'' rule or by the halt or
suspension of trading in the underlying futures contracts.
    In addition, NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.200(e) sets forth certain
requirements for ETP Holders acting as registered Market Makers in the
Shares to facilitate surveillance.
    In support of this proposal, the Exchange has made representations,
including:
    (1) The Fund will meet the initial and continued listing criteria
under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.200, Commentary .02.
    (2) The Exchange's surveillance procedures are adequate to properly
monitor Exchange trading of the Shares in all trading sessions and to
deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable Federal
securities laws.
    (3) Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform
its ETP Holders in an Information Bulletin of the special
characteristics and risks associated with trading the Shares.
Specifically, the Information Bulletin will discuss the following: (a)
The risks involved in trading the Shares during the Opening and Late
Trading Sessions when an updated IIV will not be calculated or publicly
disseminated; (b) the procedures for purchases and redemptions of
Shares in Baskets (including noting that Shares are not individually
redeemable); (c) NYSE Arca Equities Rule 9.2(a), which imposes a duty
of due diligence on its ETP Holders to learn the essential facts
relating to every customer prior to trading the Shares; (d) how
information regarding the IIV is disseminated; (e) the requirement that
ETP Holders deliver a prospectus to investors purchasing newly issued
Shares prior to or concurrently with the confirmation of a transaction;
and (f) trading information.
    This approval order is based on the Exchange's representations.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2010-78), be, and
it hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Rules at Options 2, Options
Market Participants; Options 3, Section 2, Units of Trading and Meaning
of Premium Quotes and Orders; Options 3, Section 3, Minimum Trading
Increments; Options 4, Section 5, Series of Options Contracts Open for

14, Exemptions from Position Limits; and Options 9, Section 15,
Exercise Limits. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to add new
sections at General 9 and Options 4B and reserve those sections. The
various proposed changes will be discussed below.
Mini Options
    The Exchange has not listed Mini Options in several years and is
proposing to delete Mini Options listing rules and other ancillary
trading rules related to the listing of Mini Options. The Exchange
notes that it has no open interest in Mini Options.
    Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend the following ISE
Rules related to Mini Options by deleting references to Mini Options
within these rules: Options 3, Section 2(d), Units of Trading and
Meaning of Premium Quotes and Orders; Options 3, Section 3, Minimum
Trading Increments, at Supplementary Material .03; Options 4, Section
5, Series of Options Contracts Open for Trading, at Supplementary
Material .13; Options 9, Section 13, Position Limits. at Supplementary
Material .03; and Options 9, Section 14, Exemptions From Position
Limits.
Foreign Currency Index
    The Exchange removed \3\ prior ISE Section 22, which was titled
``Rate-Modified Foreign Currency Options Rules'' and governed the
listing and trading of foreign currency options on ISE. At this time,
the Exchange is removing Options 4A, Section 8, which is being
reserved, as well as the definition of Foreign Currency Index, within
Options 4A, Section 2(h), as that reference is no longer necessary
because the product is not available to be listed on ISE. References to
Foreign Currency Index are also being removed from Options 3, Section
3, Minimum Trading Increments, at Supplementary Material .04; Options
4A, Section 10(a); Options 4A, Section 11(a) and (c); Options 4A,
Section 12(e)(1); and Options 6C, Section 3(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84516 (November 1,
2018), 83 FR 55771 (November 7, 2018) (SR-ISE-2018-91) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Delete
ISE Section 22 of the Rulebook Entitled ``Rate-Modified Foreign
Currency Options Rules'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Obsolete Listings
    The Exchange proposes to amend Options 4A, Section 2 at
Supplementary Material .01; Options 4A, Section 6(a); Options 4A,
Sections 12(a)(4),\4\ (a)(5)(ii), (b)(2) and (c)(1); and Options 4A,
Section 12 at Supplementary Material .06 to remove a list of index
options contracts that are no longer listed on ISE and have no open
interest. The Exchange also proposes to list the reporting authority
for Mini Nasdaq 100 Index, which currently does not appear on the list
of index options with reporting authorities. The reporting authority
for the Mini Nasdaq 100 is The Nasdaq Stock Market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange is relocating and renumbering the remaining
listings within Options 4A, Section 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rulebook Harmonization
    The Exchange recently harmonized its Rulebook in connection with
other Nasdaq affiliated markets. The Exchange proposes to reserve
sections General 9 and Options 4B and certain other rules \5\ within
the ISE Rulebook to represent the presence of rules in similar
locations in other Nasdaq affiliated Rulebooks (e.g., Nasdaq Phlx
LLC).\6\ The addition of these reserved sections will align the various
Nasdaq affiliated market Rulebooks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange proposes to reserve Options 2, Sections 11-14;
Options 4A, Sections 17-21; Options 6, Sections 8-13; Options 6C,
Section 7; and Options 9, Section 24.
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88213 (February 14,
2020), 85 FR 9859 (February 20, 2020) (SR-Phlx-2020-03) (``Phlx
Rulebook Relocation Rule Change'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Non-Substantive Amendments
    The Exchange proposes to correct a typographical error within
Options 6C, Section 4, Meeting Margin Calls by Liquidation Prohibited.
The Exchange proposes to correct cross-references and numbering within
Options 9, Section 4, Disruptive Quoting and Trading Activity
Prohibited. Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend the names of
certain securities which have been renamed within Options 9, Section 13
at Supplementary Material .01 and Options 9, Section 15 at
Supplementary Material .01.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, 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.

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

Mini Options
    The Exchange's proposal to removal references to the listing and
handling of Mini Options is consistent with the Act because Mini
Options have not been listed in several years and thereby removing the
references to the rules would render the rules more accurate and reduce
potential investor confusion. Also, the Exchange notes that it has no
open interest in Mini Options. In the event that the Exchange desires
to list Mini Options in the future, it would file a rule change with
the Commission to adopt rules to list Mini Options.

Foreign Currency Index
    The Exchange's proposal to remove rules and references to the
listing and handling of Foreign Currency Indexes is consistent with the
Act because the listing rules for these products have been removed.
Also, the Exchange notes that it has no open interest in Foreign
Currency Indexes. In the event that the Exchange desires to list
Foreign Currency Indexes in the future, it would file a rule change
with the Commission.
Other Obsolete Listings
    The Exchange's proposal to remove obsolete index options listings
within Options 4A, Section 2 at Supplementary Material .01; Options 4A,
Section 6(a); Options 4A, Sections 12(a)(4),\9\ (a)(5)(ii), (b)(2) and
(c)(1); and Options 4A, Section 12 at Supplementary Material .06 is
consistent with the Act. These index option listings have not been
listed in some time and there is no open interest. In the event that
the Exchange desires to list any of the removed index options listings
in the future, it would file a rule change with the Commission.
Further, the proposal to list the reporting authority for Mini Nasdaq
100 Index, which is The Nasdaq Stock Market, will bring greater
transparency to the Exchange's Rules and provide investors with greater
information about that index.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange is relocating and renumbering the remaining
listings within Options 4A, Section 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rulebook Harmonization
    The Exchange's proposal to reserve new sections at General 9 and
Options 4B within the Rulebook is a non-substantive amendment which
aligns the numbering across Nasdaq affiliated Rulebooks to provide
market participants with an ability to more readily locate rules.
Other Non-Substantive Amendments
    The Exchange's proposal to correct typographical errors, correct
cross-references and numbering and amend names of securities are non-
substantive. These amendments are intended to reduce investor
confusion.

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.
Mini Options
    The Exchange's proposal to removal references to the listing and
handling of Mini Options does not impose an undue burden on
competition. Mini Options have not been listed in several years. Also,
the Exchange notes that it has no open interest in Mini Options.
Foreign Currency Index
    The Exchange's proposal to removal references to the listing and
handling of Foreign Currency Indexes does not impose an undue burden on
competition. Foreign Currency Indexes have not been listed in several
years. Also, the Exchange notes that it has no open interest in Foreign
Currency Indexes.
Other Obsolete Listings
    The Exchange's proposal to remove obsolete index options listings
within Options 4A, Section 2 at Supplementary Material .01; Options 4A,
Section 6(a); Options 4A, Sections 12(a)(4),\10\ (a)(5)(ii), (b)(2) and
(c)(1); and Options 4A, Section 12 at Supplementary Material .06 does
not impose an undue burden on competition. These index options listings
have not been listed in some time and there is no open interest.
Further, the proposal to list a reporting authority for Mini Nasdaq 100
Index, which is The Nasdaq Stock Market, will bring greater
transparency to the Exchange's Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange is relocating and renumbering the remaining
listings within Options 4A, Section 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rulebook Harmonization
    The Exchange's proposal to add reserved sections General 9 and
Options 4B to the Rulebook is a non-substantive amendment which aligns
the numbering across Nasdaq affiliated Rulebooks to provide market
participants with an ability to more readily locate rules.
Other Non-Substantive Amendments
    The Exchange's proposal to correct typographical errors, correct
cross-references and numbering and amend names of securities are non-
substantive amendments.

Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

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

Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)

    The Bistineau Storage Facility is a converted gas producing
reservoir and many of the original producing wells were converted to
storage service by Gulf South in the late 1960's. Some of the existing
well bores are over 50 years old and have begun to deteriorate either
mechanically or operationally. Gulf South proposed to construct a new
horizontal well to replace one or more of the existing vertical wells,
which will be Gulf South D-21H drilled near the end of the D-lateral in
Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Gulf South also proposes to construct
approximately 0.06 miles of associated 8-inch lateral and appurtenant
facilities. The proposed facilities will be used as an injection and
withdrawal well. The project will not alter the Bistineau Storage
Facility's total inventory, working gas/cushion gas ratio, reservoir
pressure, reservoir or buffer boundaries, or certificated capacities,
including injection and withdrawal capacity. The estimated cost of the
proposed project is $3,500,000.
