SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy,
Washington, DC 20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form ADV; SEC File No. 270-39; OMB Control No. 3235-0049.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved collection
of information discussed below.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form ADV'' (17 CFR
279.1). Form ADV is the investment adviser registration form filed
electronically with the Commission pursuant to rules 203-1 (17 CFR
275.203-1) and 204-1 (17 CFR 275.204-1) under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1 et seq.) by advisers registered with the
Commission or applying for registration with the Commission. The
information collected takes the form of disclosures to the investment
adviser's clients and potential clients. The purpose of this collection
of information is to provide advisory clients, prospective clients, and
the Commission with information about the adviser, its business, and
its conflicts of interest. Clients use certain of the information to
determine whether to hire or retain an adviser.
    The information collected provides the Commission with knowledge
about the adviser, its business, and its conflicts of interest. The
Commission uses the information to determine eligibility for
registration with the Commission and to manage its regulatory,
examination, and enforcement programs.
    Respondents to the collection of information are investment
advisers registered with the Commission or applying for registration
with the Commission. The Commission estimates that the total annual
reporting and recordkeeping burden of the collection of information for
each respondent is 23.375 hours.
    This collection of information is found at 17 CFR 279.1 and it is
mandatory.
    The information collected pursuant to Form ADV are filings with the
Commission. These disclosures are not

kept confidential and must be preserved until at least three years
after termination of the enterprise.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or e-mail to:

Notice of Release From Federal Grant Assurance Obligations for
San Luis Obispo Airport (SBP), San Luis Obispo, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request to release airport land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and
invites public comments on the application for a release of 27,443
square feet (approximately 0.63 acres) of airport property at San Luis
Obispo Airport, San Luis Obispo, California from all conditions
contained in the Grant Assurances. This land is not needed for airport
purposes. The property consists of land that is vacant, unimproved, and
landlocked. It is separated from the airport operations area by a
public highway. The land sat idle and unused for over 25 years. The
property would be sold at an appraised fair market value to the
adjacent property owner. Proceeds would be deposited in the airport
account, thereby serving the interests of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on the proposed land release request
from federal obligations on or before July 27, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Katherine Kennedy,

of San Luis Obispo Central Services Department, San Luis Obispo, CA
93408, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    Following is a brief overview of the request:
    The County of San Luis Obispo, California, the owner and operator
of the San Luis Obispo Airport, requested a release from grant
assurance obligations for approximately 27,443 square feet
(approximately 0.63 acres) of airport property. The property was
acquired with local funds in 1991 for runway approach protection.
However, in 2007, the Runway 7-25 threshold was shifted to the west
side of Runway 11-29. After this shift, the property was no longer
necessary for approach protection.
    Due to the property's landlocked location and current condition, it
has not been used for aeronautical purposes. A major highway (HWY 227)
separates the property from the rest of the airport. Because the
property lacks direct ingress and egress, attempts to lease the
property have been unsuccessful. This non-contiguous property continues
to remain unused and unimproved. This portion of land is not suitable
for future airport development and is identified on the airport's FAA-
approved Airport Layout Plan for future disposal. Release and sale of
the land would not negatively impact airport operations.

    The sales price would be based on an appraised market value. Sale
proceeds would be deposited in the airport account to be solely
expended for the capital and operating costs of the San Luis Obispo
Airport, thereby serving the interests of civil aviation.

    Issued in Brisbane, California, on June 21, 2018.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0964]

Jun Yang: Debarment Order

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is
issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C
Act) debarring Jun Yang for a period of 4 years from importing articles
of food or offering such articles for importation into the United
States. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr. Yang was convicted,
as defined in the FD&C Act, of one felony count under Federal law for
conduct relating to the importation into the United States of an
article of food. Mr. Yang was given notice of the proposed debarment
and an opportunity to request a hearing within the timeframe prescribed
by regulation. As of November 7, 2014 (30 days after receipt of the
notice), Mr. Yang had not responded. Mr. Yang's failure to respond
constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this action.

DATES: This order is effective April 1, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit applications for termination of debarment to the
Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration,
5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenny Shade, Division Of Enforcement,
Office of Enforcement and Import Operations, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, Food and Drug Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr. (ELEM-4144),
Rockville, MD 20857,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 306(b)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 335a(b)(1)(C))
permits FDA to debar an individual from importing an article of food or
offering such an article for import into the United States if FDA
finds, as required by section 306(b)(3)(A) of the FD&C Act, that the
individual has been convicted of a felony for conduct relating to the
importation into the United States of any food.
    On November 14, 2013, Mr. Yang was convicted, as defined in section
306(l)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, when the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois accepted his plea of guilty and entered
judgment against him for the following offense: One count of smuggling
goods into the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 545.
    FDA's finding that debarment is appropriate is based on the felony
conviction referenced herein. The factual basis for this conviction is
as follows:
    On or about February 10, 2012, Mr. Yang facilitated the sale of
imported honey with a declared value of $92,800, knowing that the honey
was of Chinese origin and was imported and brought into the United
States contrary to law. As part of his fraudulent practice, Mr. Yang
brokered the sale of two container loads of purported ``100% pure
Indian honey,'' knowing that the honey was falsely and fraudulently
imported and brought into the United States as a product of India in
avoidance of U.S.-imposed anti-dumping duties, thereby causing losses
to the United States of approximately $97,625.
    Mr. Yang admitted that he operated and controlled National Honey,
Inc., which did business as National Commodities Company, and served as
the principal point of contact for brokering the sale of honey between
overseas honey suppliers and U.S. customers. Mr. Yang further admits
that between 2009 and 2012 he sold 778 container loads of honey valued
at approximately $22,864,153 to Honey Holding and Honey Packer 1 (U.S.
customers). This was part of a fraudulent practice to enter and
introduce and cause others to enter and introduce transshipped Chinese-
origin honey into the commerce of the United States in avoidance of
U.S. imposed anti-dumping duties. Mr. Yang continued this practice even
though he knew that the honey was falsely and fraudulently imported,
entered, marketed, and sold as purely non-Chinese honey, including as
honey from Malaysia and India. This fraudulent practice caused losses
to the United States of as much as $37,991,375.
    Mr. Yang also admitted that he ordered honey from Chinese honey
suppliers, knowing that the Chinese honey suppliers would send the
Chinese-origin honey to countries including Malaysia and India, where
the honey was mislabeled as to the country of origin before it passed
through a U.S. customhouse as non-Chinese origin honey. Mr. Yang and
National Commodities caused the formation of at least three companies
and used at least one other company to import and enter honey from a
Chinese honey supplier knowing that some of the honey was Chinese in
origin. Mr. Yang and National Commodities benefitted from the company's
filing custom entry forms that falsely and fraudulently declared all
the honey as originating from Malaysia and India. Mr. Yang and National
Commodities purchased honey imported by the companies despite knowing
that some or all of the honey was Chinese in origin, but declared at
the time of importation and entry as entirely originating from Malaysia
and India.
    Mr. Yang also admitted that he obtained and circulated and caused
others to obtain and circulate false and fraudulent bills of lading,
invoices, packing lists, country of origin certificates, and other
papers, which he knew to be false and fraudulent. These records were
used to declare Chinese-origin honey as having originated from Malaysia
and India. Mr. Yang also instructed an undercover law enforcement agent
to destroy unfavorable test results that showed purported Vietnamese
honey that he sold tested positive for the presence of chloramphenicol,
an antibiotic. Residues of chloramphenicol in honey cause the honey to
be adulterated under the FD&C Act. In anticipation of an investigation
by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and FDA, Mr. Yang knowingly
concealed and covered up three laboratory reports showing the presence
of chloramphenicol.
    As a result of his conviction, on October 1, 2014, FDA sent Mr.
Yang a notice by certified mail proposing to debar him for a period of
4 years from importing articles of food or offering such articles for
import into the United States. The proposal was based on a finding
under section 306(b)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act that Mr. Yang's felony
conviction for smuggling of goods into the United States in violation
of 18 U.S.C. 545 constitutes conduct relating to the importation into
the United States of an article of food because he committed an offense
related to the importation of Chinese honey into the United States.
    The proposal was also based on a determination, after consideration
of the factors set forth in section 306(c)(3) of the FD&C Act, that Mr.
Yang should be subject to a 4-year period of debarment. The proposal
also offered Mr. Yang an opportunity to request a hearing, providing
him 30 days from the date of receipt of the letter in which to file the
request, and advised him that failure to request a hearing constituted
a waiver of the opportunity for a hearing and of any contentions
concerning this action. Mr. Yang failed to respond within the timeframe
prescribed by regulation and has, therefore, waived his opportunity for
a hearing and waived any contentions concerning his debarment (21 CFR
part 12).

II. Findings and Order

    Therefore, the Director, Office of Enforcement and Import
Operations, Office of Regulatory Affairs, under section 306(b)(1)(C) of
the FD&C Act, under authority delegated to the Director (Staff Manual
Guide 1410.35), finds that Jun Yang has been convicted

of one felony count under Federal law for conduct relating to the
importation into the United States of an article of food and that he is
subject to a 4-year period of debarment.
    As a result of the foregoing finding, Jun Yang is debarred for a
period of 4 years from importing articles of food or offering such
articles for import into the United States, effective (see DATES).
Pursuant to section 301(cc) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 331(cc)), the
importing or offering for import into the United States of an article
of food by, with the assistance of, or at the direction of Jun Yang is
a prohibited act.
    Any application by Mr. Yang for termination of debarment under
section 306(d)(1) of the FD&C Act should be identified with Docket No.
FDA-2014-N-0964 and sent to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES). All such submissions are to be filed in four copies. The
public availability of information in these submissions is governed by
21 CFR 10.20(j).
    Publicly available submissions may be seen in the Division of
Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

    Dated: March 26, 2015.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS.
    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 7 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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 in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the
Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57229; File No. SR-ISE-2008-09]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Exchange Rules
Related to the Imposition of Fines for Minor Rule Violations

January 29, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on January 18, 2008, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared
substantially by the ISE. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend ISE Rule 1614, ``Imposition of Fines
for Minor Rule Violations,'' to add summary fines for violations of ISE
Rule 1100, ``Exercise of Options Contracts.'' The text of the proposed
rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.com
), at the ISE's principal office, and at the Commission's

Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set

forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of
such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to add a summary fine schedule pursuant to
its Minor Rule Violation Plan (``MRVP'') that will apply to any member
who fails to submit to the Exchange in a timely manner, pursuant to ISE
Rule 1100 (or a regulatory information circular issued pursuant to ISE
Rule 1100), ``Advice Cancel'' or exercise instruction relating to the
exercise or nonexercise of a noncash-settled equity option. The
Exchange believes that imposing the fine levels specified with respect
to both individual members and member organizations, and providing for
a rolling 24-month surveillance period, will serve as an effective
deterrent to such violative conduct.
    In addition, the Exchange, as a member of the Intermarket
Surveillance Group, as well as certain other self-regulatory
organizations (``SROs''), executed and filed with the Commission, on
October 29, 2007, a final version of an Agreement pursuant to Section
17(d) of the Act (the ``17d-2 Agreement'').\3\ As set forth in the 17d-
2 Agreement, the SROs have agreed that their respective rules
concerning the filing of Expiring Exercise Declarations (also referred
to as Contrary Exercise Advices) are common rules. As a result, the
proposal to amend the ISE's MRVP will further result in consistency in
sanctions among the SROs that are signatories to the 17d-2 Agreement
concerning Contrary Exercise Advice violations.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See letter to Richard Holley, Senior Special Counsel,
Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, from Nyieri Nazarian,
Assistant General Counsel, American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex''),
dated October 29, 2007.
    \4\ See Amex Rule 590.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices;
to promote just and equitable principles of trade; and to protect
investors and the public interest in that it is designed 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.
Additionally, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will
promote consistency in minor rule violations and respective SRO
reporting obligations as set forth pursuant to Rule 19d-1(c)(2) under
the Act,\7\ which governs minor rule violation plans.

    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19d-1(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    ISE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be 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
the following methods:

regarding options communications, to conform with the rules of FINRA.
Previously, the Exchange harmonized its then extant Rule 991 to FINRA
Rule 2220.\4\ For the sake of consistency, and to further promote a
more comprehensive and coordinated regulatory process for the review of
communications, the Exchange now proposes to conform its rulebook to
subsequent amendments by FINRA.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61499 (February 4,
2010), 75 FR 6738 (February 10, 2010) (SR-NYSEAmex-2010-04). This
proposed rule change would further conform the rule books of the
Exchange and FINRA.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68650 (January 14,
2013), 78 FR 4182 (January 18, 2013) (SR-FINRA-2013-001) and No.
73576 (November 12, 2014), 79 FR 68731 (November 18, 2014) (SR-
FINRA-2014-045).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''), several exchanges, including the Exchange, entered into
an agreement dated June 5, 2008 (the ``17d-2 Agreement'') to allocate
regulatory responsibility for common rules.\6\ In order to continue
this successful regulatory approach, the Exchange proposes to further
harmonize Rule 991 (Options Communications) with the comparable FINRA
rule, in furtherance of the 17d-2 Agreement and in order to continue to
maintain substantial similarity with the relevant FINRA rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In addition to the Exchange, the other exchanges that
entered into the 17d-2 Agreement were: The Boston Stock Exchange,
Inc., the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc., the International
Securities Exchange, LLC, FINRA, the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the
New York Stock Exchange, LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc. and the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 991 sets forth the regulatory standards applicable to options
communications including inter alia the definitions of diverse
categories of communications, and the standards and attendant review
and approval processes for those categories of communications.
    Specifically, in order to continue to ensure a uniform regulatory
approach, and to reduce any potential risks or inefficiencies in rules,
the Exchange proposes to:
     Replace the definition of ``correspondence'' in Rules
991(a)(1)(C)(i) and (ii) with the substantially similar though more
succinct definition of ``correspondence'' in FINRA Rule 2210(a)(2),
that in turn is referenced in FINRA Rule 2220(a)(1)(A); \7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ As FINRA Rule 2220 is the operative rule concerning options
communications, for the sake of clarity and for ease of reference,
the Exchange proposes to copy the text of the definition into new
proposed Rule 991(a)(1)(A) in lieu of cross-referencing FINRA Rule
2210(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Replace the definition of ``institutional sales material''
in Rule 991(a)(1)(D) with the substantially similar though expanded
definition of ``Institutional Communication'' in FINRA Rule 2210(a)(3)
concerning options; \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ FINRA's definition excludes a member's internal
communications from this institutional category. In addition, given
the distinction between institutional and retail investors, the
Exchange believes that a cross-reference to FINRA Rule 2210(a)(3) in
proposed Rule 991(a)(1)(B) is appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Add the definition of ``Retail Communication'' in FINRA
Rule 2210(a)(5), that in turn is referenced in FINRA Rule
2220(a)(1)(C), to Rule 991(a)(1)(C); \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ As FINRA Rule 2220 is the operative rule concerning options
communications, for the sake of clarity and for ease of reference,
the Exchange proposes to copy the text of the definition into new
proposed Rule 991(a)(1)(C) in lieu of cross-referencing FINRA Rule
2210(a)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Delete the now inapplicable individual definitions of
``advertisement'', ``sales literature'', ``correspondence'',
``institutional sales material'', ``public appearance'', and
``independently prepared reprints'', as contained in Rule 991(a)(1)(A),
Rule 991(a)(1)(B), Rule 991(a)(1)(C), Rule 991(a)(1)(D), Rule
991(a)(1)(E), Rule 991(a)(1)(F), respectively;
     Replace the definition of ``existing retail customer'' in
Rule 991(a)(2) with the definition of ``retail investor'' in FINRA Rule
2210(a)(6), that in turn is

referenced in the definition of ``Retail Communication'' supra; \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In connection with equities communications, the Exchange
previously adopted the text of FINRA Rule 2210(a)(6), and the same
definition of ``retail investor''. See NYSE American Rule 2210--
Equities. See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70963
(November 29, 2013), 78 FR 73223 (December 5, 2013) (SR-NYSEMKT-
2013-95).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Replace the approval requirement of advertisements, sales
literature and independently prepared reprints in Rule 991(b)(1) with
the approval requirement of ``Retail Communications'' in FINRA Rule
2220(b)(1); \11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ FINRA Rule 2210 (concerning communications) is premised
upon three categories of communications--retail communications,
correspondence, and institutional communications--that in turn
categorize [sic] the approval and procedural requirements of FINRA
Rule 2220(b)(1), (2) and (3) (concerning options communications) and
the corresponding rule changes to Rules 991(b)(1), (2) and (3)
proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Replace the procedural supervisory and review requirements
of correspondence in Rule 991(b)(2) with the substantially similar
requirements in FINRA Rule 2220(b)(2), that in turn references the
requirements of FINRA Rules 3110(b) and 3110.06 through .09; \12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Ibid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Replace the written procedural requirements of
institutional sales material in Rule 991(b)(3) with the substantially
similar requirements in FINRA Rule 2220(b)(3), that regards [sic]
institutional communications written procedural requirements of FINRA
Rule 2210(b)(3); \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Ibid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Replace the reference to ``advertisements, sales
literature, and independently prepared reprints'' in Rule 991(c)(1)
with ``Retail Communications'', the current category of such
communications;
     Replace the reference to the ``designated'' Advertising
Regulation Department with the Advertising Regulation Department ``of
FINRA'' in Rule 991(c)(1), for clarification and specificity; and
     Replace the reference to ``institutional sales material''
in Rule 991(d)(2)(B) with ``Institutional Communications'', the current
category of such communications.
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would
structurally and procedurally align the Exchange's rule concerning
options communications with FINRA rule concerning the same subject
matter, and would further both the Exchange's self-regulatory
responsibilities and FINRA's delegated responsibilities under the 17d-2
Agreement.
    In addition, the Exchange proposes a non-substantive amendment to
Rule 991 to replace the term ``member'' with the term ``ATP Holder''
throughout the rule. Rule 900.2NY defines ``ATP Holder'', and provides
that ``references to `member', `member organization' and `86 Trinity
Permit Holder' as those terms are used in the Rules of the Exchange
should be deemed to be references to ATP Holders.'' Because the
Exchange uses the term ``ATP Holder'' rather than ``member,'' the
Exchange proposes to update this rule consistent with that terminology.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\14\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\15\
in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed change would
remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, protect investors
and the public interest because the proposed rule change would provide
ATP Holders with a clearer, more consistent, and more comprehensive
regulatory scheme by further harmonizing the NYSE American rule
concerning options communications with the FINRA rule in the same
subject matter. The proposed rule change would continue to ensure a
uniform regulatory approach and would reduce any potential risks or
inefficiencies in rules. Structurally and procedurally, harmonizing and
aligning the Exchange's rule with the FINRA rule would further both the
Exchange's self-regulatory responsibilities and FINRA's delegated
responsibilities under the 17d-2 Agreement. The Exchange also believes
that harmonizing definitions, categories of communications, and the
standards and attendant review and approval processes of those
categories of communications, would also foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities. The Exchange further notes that the proposed change are
neither novel nor controversial and are modeled on existing and
operative FINRA rules.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposal to use the term ``ATP
Holder'' instead of ``member'' would remove impediments to, and perfect
the mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market system
and, in general, protect investors and the public interest because the
proposed change would update terminology in the Exchange's rulebook,
reducing any potential ambiguity and providing clarification concerning
options communications. The proposed use of the term ``ATP Holder''
would be consistent with the FINRA term ``member,'' as both terms refer
to the broker-dealer members of a self-regulatory organization.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is
not designed to address any competitive issues. Rather, the proposed
change is designed to further harmonize the Exchange's rule regarding
options communications to the comparable FINRA rule, and to update the
terms used in Exchanges rules.

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 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 if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \16\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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 met this requirement.

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

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \18\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\19\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative upon filing. The Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because it will allow the Exchange to
immediately implement the proposed rule change to promote greater
harmonization between the rules of FINRA and the Exchange and also to
make clerical changes that may minimize potential investor confusion.
Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay
requirement and designates the proposed rule change as operative upon
filing.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \20\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \21\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[OMB Control No. 3235-0441, SEC File No. 270-385]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 18f-3 [OMB Control No. 3235-0441, SEC File No. 270-385]

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``Paperwork Reduction Act''), the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``the Commission'') has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for
extension of the previously approved collection of information
discussed below.
    Rule 18f-3 (17 CFR 270.18f-3) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) exempts from section 18(f)(1) a fund
that issues multiple classes of shares representing interests in the
same portfolio of securities (a ``multiple class fund'') if

the fund satisfies the conditions of the rule. In general, each class
must differ in its arrangement for shareholder services or distribution
or both, and must pay the related expenses of that different
arrangement. The rule includes one requirement for the collection of
information. A multiple class fund must prepare, and fund directors
must approve, a written plan setting forth the separate arrangement and
expense allocation of each class, and any related conversion features
or exchange privileges (``rule 18f-3 plan''). Approval of the plan must
occur before the fund issues any shares of multiple classes and
whenever the fund materially amends the plan. In approving the plan,
the fund board, including a majority of the independent directors, must
determine that the plan is in the best interests of each class and the
fund as a whole.
    The requirement that the fund prepare and directors approve a
written rule 18f-3 plan is intended to ensure that the fund compiles
information relevant to the fairness of the separate arrangement and
expense allocation for each class, and that directors review and
approve the information. Without a blueprint that highlights material
differences among classes, directors might not perceive potential
conflicts of interests when they determine whether the plan is in the
best interests of each class and the fund. In addition, the plan may be
useful to Commission staff in reviewing the fund's compliance with the
rule.
    Based on an analysis of fund filings, the Commission estimates that
there are approximately 7,293 multiple class funds offered by 990
registrants. The Commission estimates that each of the 990 registrants
will make an average of 0.5 responses annually to prepare and approve a
written 18f-3 plan.\1\ The Commission estimates each response will take
6 hours, requiring a total of 3 hours per registrant per year.\2\ Thus
the total annual hour burden associated with these requirements of the
rule is approximately 2,970 hours.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission estimates that each registrant prepares and
approves a rule 18f-3 plan every two years when issuing a new fund
or new class or amending a plan (or that 522.5 of all 1,045
registrants prepare and approve a plan each year).
    \2\ 0.5 responses per registrant x 6 hours per response = 3
hours per registrant.
    \3\ 3 hours per registrant per year x 1,045 registrants = 3,135
hours per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimates of the average burden hours are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms. The collection of information under rule
18f-3 is mandatory. The information provided under rule 18f-3 will not
be kept confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:

    Title: Pesticide Registration Fee Waivers.
    ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved
collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. This
ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its
estimated burden and cost.
    Abstract: This information collection will allow EPA to process
requests for waivers of fees under the Pesticide Registration
Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA). The ICR covers the collection
activities associated with requesting a fee waiver and involves
requesters submitting a waiver request, information to demonstrate
eligibility for the waiver, and certification of eligibility. Waivers
are available for small businesses, for minor uses, and for actions
solely associated with the Inter-Regional Research Project Number 4
(IR-4). State and federal agencies are exempt from the payment of fees.
Information collected will allow EPA to determine whether to grant a
waiver of registration fees, according to requirements of PRIA.
Responses to the collection of information are required to obtain a fee
waiver. Data and/or information submitted to the Agency in conjunction
with service fee waiver requests may be claimed as trade secret or
commercial or financial information and will be protected from
disclosure under FIFRA section 10 and the associated regulation as
contained in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 37
hours per response for first-time applicants, 12 hours per response for
applicants requesting another fee waiver or reduction within the same
fee billing cycle, and 27 hours per response for applicants that have
applied for a fee waiver in a prior billing cycle but not in the
current billing cycle. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Pesticide registrants that seek a
registration fee waiver.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 389.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,368.
    Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost: $521,903.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,302 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the fact that the
distribution of responses among the three different response types has
been adjusted, with a higher percentage of responses in the lower-
burden types. The distribution among response types was estimated in
the currently approved ICR, as it was a new requirement, whereas this
proposed renewal uses actual values based on experience. This change is
an adjustment.
