[Docket No. CP23-542-000]

Golden Triangle Storage, LLC; Notice of Application and
Establishing Intervention Deadline

    Take notice that on September 12, 2023, Golden Triangle Storage,
LLC (GTS), 919 Milam Street, Suite 2425, Houston, Texas 77002, filed an
application under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and part
157 of the Commission's regulations requesting authorization for its
Expansion Project (Project). The Project consists of expanding its
existing natural gas storage facility in Jefferson County, Texas,
through the construction and operation of two new salt dome storage
caverns, additional compression, and other appurtenant facilities. The
Project will meet documented market demand for increased storage
capacity, enhance operational capabilities at the existing storage
facilities, and ensure that GTS will be able to continue to offer safe,
reliable storage services for both existing and new customers. Further,
GTS requests reaffirmation of its market-based rate authority and
related authorizations and waivers, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open for public
inspection.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the
internet through the Commission's Home Page (www.ferc.gov) using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. At this time,

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 31300; Amdt. No. 551]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum enroute authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 26, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg 29 Room 104, Oklahoma
City, OK 73125. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as
prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

rules and the applicable federal securities laws. Trading of the Shares
through the Exchange will be subject to the Exchange's surveillance
procedures for derivative products, including Commodity-Based Trust
Shares. The issuer has represented to the Exchange that it will advise
the Exchange of any failure by the Trust or the Shares to comply with
the continued listing requirements, and, pursuant to its obligations
under Section 19(g)(1) of the Exchange Act, the Exchange will surveil
for compliance with the continued listing requirements. If the Trust or
the Shares are not in compliance with the applicable listing
requirements, the Exchange will commence delisting procedures under
Exchange Rule 14.12. The Exchange may obtain information regarding
trading in the Shares via the Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG''),
from other exchanges who are members or affiliates of the ISG, or with
which the Exchange has entered into a comprehensive surveillance
sharing agreement.\38\ In addition, the Exchange may obtain information
about bitcoin transactions, trades and market data from Bitcoin
Exchanges with which the Exchange has entered into a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement as well as certain additional
information that is publicly available through the Blockchain. The
Exchange notes that it has entered into a comprehensive surveillance
sharing agreement with Gemini Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \38\ For a list of the current members and affiliate members of
ISG, see www.isgportal.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information Circular
    Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform its
members in an Information Circular of the special characteristics and
risks associated with trading the Shares. Specifically, the Information
Circular will discuss the following: (i) The procedures for the
creation and redemption of Baskets (and that the Shares are not
individually redeemable); (ii) BZX Rule 3.7, which imposes suitability
obligations on Exchange members with respect to recommending
transactions in the Shares to customers; (iii) how information
regarding the Intraday Indicative Value and the Trust's NAV are
disseminated; (iv) the risks involved in trading the Shares during the
Pre-Opening \39\ and After Hours Trading Sessions \40\ when an updated
Intraday Indicative Value will not be calculated or publicly
disseminated; (v) the requirement that members deliver a prospectus to
investors purchasing newly issued Shares prior to or concurrently with
the confirmation of a transaction; and (vi) trading information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \39\ The Pre-Opening Session is from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Eastern Time.
    \40\ The After Hours Trading Session is from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. Eastern Time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Information Circular will advise members, prior to
the commencement of trading, of the prospectus delivery requirements
applicable to the Shares. Members purchasing the Shares for resale to
investors will deliver a prospectus to such investors. The Information
Circular will also discuss any exemptive, no-action and interpretive
relief granted by the Commission from any rules under the Act.
    In addition, the Information Circular will reference that the Trust
is subject to various fees and expenses described in the Registration
Statement. The Information Circular will also reference the fact that,
apart from the CFTC, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the
U.S. Department of the Treasury (``FinCEN'') and the US Internal
Revenue Service (``IRS''), most major U.S. regulators, including the
Commission, have yet to make official pronouncements or adopt rules
providing guidance with respect to the classification and treatment of
bitcoin and other Digital Assets for purposes of commodities, tax and
securities laws. The Information Circular will also contain information
regarding the CFTC's determination that bitcoin and other ``virtual
currencies'' (aka Digital Assets) are properly defined as commodities
under the CEA,\41\ and will reference the fact that the CFTC has
applied CEA provisions and CFTC regulations that apply to transactions
in commodity options and swaps to the conduct of the bitcoin
derivatives trading platform.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \41\ See Coinflip, supra note 13.

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

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \42\ in general and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \43\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \42\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \43\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices in that the
Shares will be listed and traded on the Exchange pursuant to the
initial and continued listing criteria in Exchange Rule 14.11(e)(4),
which as noted above includes all statements and representations made
in this filing regarding the description of the portfolio and
limitations on portfolio holdings or reference assets. The Exchange
believes that its surveillance procedures are adequate to properly
monitor the trading of the Shares on the Exchange during all trading
sessions and to deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and the
applicable federal securities laws. The Exchange may obtain information
regarding trading in the Shares via the ISG from other exchanges who
are members or affiliates of the ISG, or with which the Exchange has
entered into a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.\44\ In
addition, the Exchange may obtain information about Bitcoin
transactions, trades, and market data from Bitcoin Exchanges with which
the Exchange has entered into a comprehensive surveillance sharing
agreement, which includes the Gemini Exchange, as well as certain
additional information that is publicly available through the
Blockchain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Registration Statement, the Trust will only own
and store bitcoin and will not be permitted to hold cash or any other
Digital Asset. The proposal also promotes market transparency in that
large amount of information is publicly available regarding the Trust
and the Shares, thereby promoting market transparency. The Exchange
will obtain a representation from the Sponsor that the Trust's NAV will
be determined by the Administrator and published by the Sponsor at 4:00
p.m. Eastern time each Business Day (using the 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
Gemini Exchange Spot Price) on the Trust's Web site and that such
information will be made available to all market participants at the
same time. Furthermore, the Trust's Web site will provide an Intraday
Indicative Value during regular trading hours on each Business Day. The
Trust's Web site will also provide its current prospectus, as well as
the two (2) most recent reports to shareholders. The Web site will
include additional quantitative information updated on a daily basis,
including, for the Trust: (i) The prior Business Day's reported NAV,
the Best Bid, the Best Ask, the Best Bid/Best Ask, the daily trading
volume of the Shares, and the calculation of the premium and discount
of the Best Bid/Best Ask against the NAV; and (ii) data in chart format
displaying the frequency distribution of discounts and premiums of the
daily Best Bid/Best Ask against the NAV, within appropriate ranges, for
each of the four (4) previous calendar quarters. In addition, the
Exchange will publish (via the CTA) quotation information, trading
volume, closing prices and the prior Business Day's NAV. The Intraday
Indicative Value and the intraday Gemini Exchange Spot Price will be
widely disseminated by one (1) or more major market data vendors, such
as Reuters or Bloomberg, and broadly displayed on at least a 15-second
delayed basis during regular trading hours. In addition, information
regarding market price and trading volume of the Shares will be
continually available on a real-time basis throughout the Business Day
on brokers' computer screens and other electronic services, and
quotation and last sale information will also be available via the
Exchange's data feeds.
    The proposed rule change is further designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade and to protect investors and the public
interest and to promote market transparency in that there is a
considerable amount of bitcoin price and market information available
for free on public Web sites and through financial, professional and
subscription services. Investors may obtain bitcoin pricing information
twenty-four (24) hours a day or from various financial information
service providers or Bitcoin Network information sites such as
www.BitcoinCharts.com or www.bitcoinity.org. Bloomberg financial
terminals include pricing data in USD and in Euro from several Bitcoin
Exchanges. Recently, the CME and the ICE announced bitcoin pricing
indices. Current Bitcoin market prices are also generally available
with bid/ask spreads directly from various Bitcoin Exchanges.
    The Exchange also believes that the widespread availability of
information regarding bitcoin, the Trust, and the Shares, combined with
the ability of Authorized Participants to create and redeem Baskets
each Business Day, thereby utilizing the Arbitrage Mechanism, will be
sufficient for market participants to value and trade the Shares in a
manner that will not lead to significant deviations between intraday
Best Bid/Best Ask and the Intraday Indicative Value as well as between
the Best Bid/Best Ask and the NAV. In addition, the numerous options
for buying and selling bitcoin will both provide Authorized
Participants with many options for hedging their positions and provide
market participants generally with potential arbitrage opportunities,
further strengthening the Arbitrage Mechanism as it relates to the
Shares. Furthermore, the Trust has discussed with several prominent
market participants the possibility of acting as an Authorized
Participant and/or a Market Maker, each of which is an experienced
participant in the ETP marketplace and is actively engaged in trading
ETPs. A number of these potential Authorized Participants and Market
Makers currently trade bitcoin and are already registered participants
that trade on the Gemini Exchange. Based on their experience in ETPs
and in the Bitcoin marketplace, these market participants have
indicated that they believe that they will be able to make efficient
and liquid markets in the Shares at prices generally in line with the
NAV.
    Authorized Participants will be able to acquire bitcoin for
delivery to the Trust by a variety of means. Authorized Participants
will not be required to use the Gemini Exchange to trade their bitcoin
and the Gemini Exchange is not the only venue on which Authorized
Participants can purchase bitcoin for delivery to the Trust. However,
as discussed above, the ability to transact in bitcoin on the Gemini
Exchange may provide (i) a convenient and stable venue with superior
liquidity characteristics in which to purchase or sell bitcoin, (ii) an
efficient way to trade bitcoin, and (iii) a safe place to store
purchased bitcoin for future use in the creation of Baskets given the
regulatory oversight to which the Gemini Exchange is subject.
    The Exchange may consider all relevant factors in exercising its
discretion to halt or suspend trading in the Shares. The Exchange will
halt

trading in the Shares under the conditions specified in BZX Rule 11.18.
Trading 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: (i) The extent to which trading is not occurring in
the financial instruments underlying the Shares; or (ii) whether other
unusual conditions or circumstances detrimental to the maintenance of a
fair and orderly market are present. Trading in the Shares also will be
subject to Rule 14.11(e)(4)(E)(ii), which sets forth circumstances
under which trading in the Shares may be halted.
    The proposed rule change is designed to perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest in that it will facilitate the listing and trading of
Commodity-Based Trust Shares that will enhance competition among market
participants, to the benefit of investors and the marketplace. As noted
above, the Exchange has in place surveillance procedures relating to
trading in the Shares and may obtain information from other Bitcoin
Exchanges with which the Exchange has entered into a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement. In addition, as noted above, investors
will have ready access to information regarding bitcoin pricing and
bitcoin information, as well as equitable access to the Trust's
Intraday Indicative Value, NAV, and quotation and last sale information
for the Shares.
    For the above reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act.

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 purpose of the Act. The Exchange notes that the
proposed rule change will facilitate the listing and trading of an
additional Commodity-Based Trust Share product that will enhance
competition among market participants, to the benefit of investors and
the marketplace.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
(a) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change; or (b)
