Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington,
DC 20590 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is DOT practice to identify a Privacy Act
system of records that is exempt from one or more provisions of the
Privacy Act (pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) or (k)) both in the system
notice published in the Federal Register for public comment and in an
Appendix to DOT's regulations implementing the Privacy Act (49 CFR Part
10, Appendix A). This amendment proposes exemption from certain
portions of the Privacy Act of a proposed record system--the
Departmental Office of Civil Rights System of Records (DOCRS)--to be
used to track correspondence, inquiries, complaints, and appeals filed
by individuals, small businesses, or representatives of individuals or
small businesses who believe they have been subjected to discrimination
or retaliation prohibited by Federal law by a DOT employee, or by a DOT

Federally-assisted, or Federally-conducted program or activity.
    To aid in the law enforcement aspects of DOCRS, DOT proposes to
treat it as it treats other law enforcement systems, by exempting it
from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: (c)(3) (Accounting of
Certain Disclosures), (d) (Access to Records), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I)
(Agency Requirements), and (f) (Agency Rules) to the extent that DOCRS
contains investigatory material compiled for law enforcement purposes,
in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2).

Regulatory Analysis and Notices

A. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This proposal is not a ``significant regulatory action'' within the
meaning of Executive Order 12886. It is also not significant within the
definition in DOT's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, 49 FR 11034
(1979), in part because it does not involve any change in important
Departmental policies. Because the economic impact should be minimal,
further regulatory evaluation is not necessary. Moreover, I certify
that this proposal would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, because the reporting
requirements, themselves, are not changed and because it applies only
to information on individuals that is maintained by the Federal
Government.
    This proposal would not significantly affect the environment, and
therefore an environmental impact statement is not required under the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It has also been reviewed
under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, and it has been determined
that it does not have sufficient implications for federalism to warrant
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

 B. Executive Order 13084

    This notice has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 13084 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because it has no
effect on Indian Tribal Governments, the funding and consultation
requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not apply.

 C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an
agency to review regulations to assess their impact on small entities
unless the agency determines that a rule is not expected to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
I hereby certify that the rule proposed in this notice of proposed
rulemaking will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule imposes no new information reporting or recordkeeping
necessitating clearance by the Office of Management and Budget.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Department has determined that the requirements of Title II of
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this notice.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 10

    Authority delegations (Government agencies); Organization and
functions (Government agencies); Transportation Department.

    In consideration of the foregoing, DOT proposes to amend part 10 of
Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows:

PART 10--[AMENDED]

    1. The authority citation for part 10 would continue to read as
follows:

    Authority:  5 U.S.C. 552a; 49 U.S.C. 322.

    2. The Appendix to Part 1--Exemptions would be amended by inserting
in of Part II.A. a new paragraph 8, immediately following paragraph (7)
to read as follows:

Appendix A--Exemptions

    Part II. Specific exemptions. A. The following systems of
records are exempt from subsection (c)(3) (Accounting of Certain
Disclosures), (d) (Access to Records), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I)
(Agency Requirements), and (f) (Agency Rules) of 5 U.S.C. 552a, to
the extent that they contain investigatory material compiled for law
enforcement purposes, in accordance 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2):
* * * * *
    8. Departmental Office of Civil Rights System (DOCRS).
* * * * *

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 9, 2011.

Departmental Chief Privacy Officer.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-83492; File No. SR-CTA/CQ-2018-02]

Consolidated Tape Association; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of the Twenty-Ninth Substantive Amendment to the Second
Restatement of the CTA Plan and the Twenty-First Amendment to the
Restated CQ Plan

June 21, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 608 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on June 5, 2018, the Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') Plan
participants (``Participants'') \3\ filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposal to amend the Second
Restatement of the CTA Plan and the Restated Consolidated Quotation
(``CQ'') Plan (``Plans'').\4\ These amendments represent the Twenty-
Ninth Substantive Amendment to the CTA Plan and the Twenty-First
Amendment to the CQ Plan (``Amendments''). The Amendments seek to
effectuate changes that certain Participants have made to their names
and addresses, as set forth in Sections

I(q), III(a), and VIII(a) of the CTA Plan and Section III(a) of the CQ
Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1.
    \2\ 17 CFR 242.608.
    \3\ The Participants are: Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc.; Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc.; Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc.; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.;
Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.; Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.; Investors Exchange LLC; Nasdaq
BX, Inc.; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC; New York Stock Exchange LLC; NYSE Arca, Inc.; NYSE American
LLC; and NYSE National, Inc. (collectively, the ``Participants'').
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 10787 (May 10,
1974), 39 FR 17799 (May 20, 1974) (declaring the CTA Plan
effective); 15009 (July 28, 1978), 43 FR 34851 (August 7, 1978)
(temporarily authorizing the CQ Plan); and 16518 (January 22, 1980),
45 FR 6521 (January 28, 1980) (permanently authorizing the CQ Plan).
The most recent restatement of both Plans was in 1995. The CTA Plan,
pursuant to which markets collect and disseminate last sale price
information for non-NASDAQ listed securities, is a ``transaction
reporting plan'' under Rule 601 under the Act, 17 CFR 242.601, and a
``national market system plan'' under Rule 608 under the Act, 17 CFR
242.608. The CQ Plan, pursuant to which markets collect and
disseminate bid/ask quotation information for listed securities, is
a ``national market system plan'' under Rule 608 under the Act, 17
CFR 242.608.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Rule 608(b)(3)(ii) under Regulation NMS,\5\ the
Participants have designated the Amendments as concerned solely with
the administration of the Plans and as ``Ministerial Amendments'' under
both Section IV(b) of the CTA Plan and Section IV(c) of the CQ Plan. As
a result, the Amendments were effective upon filing and were submitted
by the Chairman of the Plan's Operating Committee. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments from interested persons on
the proposed Amendments. Set forth in Sections I and II is the
statement of the purpose and summary of the Amendments, along with the
information required by Rules 608(a) and 601(a) under the Act, prepared
and submitted by the Participants to the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 17 CFR 242.608(b)(3)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Rule 608(a)

A. Purpose of the Amendments

    The Amendments effectuate changes that certain Participants have
made to their names and addresses, as set forth in Sections I(q),
III(a), and VIII(a) of the CTA Plan and Section III(a) of the CQ Plan.

B. Governing or Constituent Documents

    Not applicable.

C. Implementation of the Amendments

    Because the Amendments constitute ``Ministerial Amendments'' under
both Section IV(b) of the CTA Plan and Section IV(c) under the CQ Plan,
the Chairman of the Plan's Operating Committee may submit the
Amendments to the Commission on behalf of the Participants in the
Plans. Because the Participants have designated the Amendments as
concerned solely with the administration of the Plans, the Amendments
become effective upon filing with the Commission.

D. Development and Implementation Phases

    Not applicable.

E. Analysis of Impact on Competition

    The Participants assert that the Amendments do not impose any
burden on competition because they simply effectuate a change in the
names and addresses of certain Participants. For the same reasons, the
Participants do not believe that the Amendments introduce terms that
are unreasonably discriminatory for purposes of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of
the Exchange Act.

F. Written Understanding or Agreements Relating to Interpretation of,
or Participation in, Plan

    Not applicable.

G. Approval by Sponsors in Accordance With Plan

    See Item I.C. above.

H. Description of Operation of Facility Contemplated by the Proposed
Amendments

    Not applicable.

I. Terms and Conditions of Access

    Not applicable.

J. Method of Determination and Imposition, and Amount of, Fees and
Charges

    Not applicable.

K. Method and Frequency of Processor Evaluation

    Not applicable.

L. Dispute Resolution

    Not applicable.

II. Rule 601(a)

A. Equity Securities for Which Transaction Reports Shall Be Required by
the Plan

    Not applicable.

B. Reporting Requirements

    Not applicable.

C. Manner of Collecting, Processing, Sequencing, Making Available and
Disseminating Last Sale Information

    Not applicable.

D. Manner of Consolidation

    Not applicable.

E. Standards and Methods Ensuring Promptness, Accuracy and Completeness
of Transaction Reports

    Not applicable.

F. Rules and Procedures Addressed to Fraudulent or Manipulative
Dissemination

    Not applicable.

G. Terms of Access to Transaction Reports

    Not applicable.

H. Identification of Marketplace of Execution

    Not applicable.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    The Commission seeks general comments on the Amendments. Interested
persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments
concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed Amendments are
consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the
following methods:

Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning
each proposed collection of information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting
the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement,
FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set
forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins
Prohibited in Ruminant Feed--21 CFR 589.2000(e)(1)(iv) OMB Control
Number 0910-0339--Extension

    This information collection was established because epidemiological
evidence gathered in the United Kingdom suggested that bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a progressively degenerative central
nervous system disease, is spread to ruminant animals by feeding
protein derived from ruminants infected with BSE. This regulation
places general requirements on persons that manufacture, blend,
process, and distribute products that contain, or may contain, protein
derived from mammalian tissue, and feeds made from such products.
    Specifically, this regulation requires renderers, feed
manufacturers, and others involved in feed and feed ingredient
manufacturing and distribution to maintain written procedures
specifying the cleanout procedures or other means, and specifying the
procedures for separating products that contain or may contain protein
derived from mammalian tissue from all other protein products from the
time of receipt until the time of shipment. These written procedures
are intended to help the firm formalize their processes, and then to
help inspection personnel confirm that the firm is operating in
compliance with the regulation. Inspection personnel will evaluate the
written procedure and confirm it is being followed when they are
conducting an inspection.
    These written procedures must be maintained as long as the facility
is operating in a manner that necessitates the record, and if the
facility makes changes to an applicable procedure or process the record
must be updated. Written procedures required by this section shall be
made available for inspection and copying by FDA.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    We base our estimate of the number of recordkeepers on inspectional
data, which reflect a decline in the number of recordkeepers. We
attribute this decline to a reduction in the number of firms handling
animal protein for use in animal feed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0644.
    Type of Request: Collection of observed child restraint use data.
    Abstract: The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats is
conducted to respond to Section 14(i) of the Transportation Recall
Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act of 2000. The
Act directs the Department of Transportation to reduce deaths and
injuries (among children in the 4- to 8-year old age group that are
caused by failure to use a booster seat) by twenty-five percent.
Conducting the National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats provides the
Department with invaluable information on use and non-use of booster
seats, helping the Department to improve its outreach programs to
ensure that children are protected to the greatest extent possible when
they ride in motor vehicles. The OMB approval for this survey is
scheduled to expire on 5/31/19. NHTSA seeks an extension to this
approval to obtain this important survey data, save more children, and

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2015-0343]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway,
Little River to Savannah River

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating schedule that
governs the Lady's Island Bridge, across the Beaufort River, Mile 536.0
at Beaufort, SC. This modification would allow Lady's Island Bridge to
remain closed during peak vehicular traffic times. The bridge owner,
South Carolina Department of Transportation, requested this action to
assist in reducing traffic caused by bridge openings.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before July 11, 2016.

ADDRESSES:  You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2015-0343 using Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.
    See the ``Public Participation and Request for Comments'' portion
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for instructions on
submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this proposed
rule, call or email Lieutenant John Z. Downing at telephone 843-740-

II. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis

    The City of Beaufort, South Carolina requested that the bridge
owner and the U.S. Coast Guard modify the operating schedule for Lady's
Island Bridge to reduce vehicular traffic in the City of Beaufort and
surrounding communities. On February 17th, 2015, Coast Guard Sector
Charleston Waterways Management (WWM) staff observed the Lady's Island
Bridge operations between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. During the
observation period, the staff discussed potential changes with the
Bridge owner, South Carolina Department of Transportation.
Additionally, WWM met with the Beaufort County South Carolina traffic
manager to discuss bridge opening impacts.
    On August 5th, 2015, a Temporary Deviation, entitled, ``Drawbridge
Operation Regulations: Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Little River to
Savannah River,'' was published in the Federal Register [USCG-2015-
0343] [80 FR 46492] to evaluate whether changing the bridge opening
schedule would assist in reducing traffic congestion. This deviation
was in effect through November 3rd, 2015.
    During the deviation period the Coast Guard received six comments,
five of which recommended retaining the operating schedule currently
found at 33 CFR 117.911(f). One comment proposed a bridge opening
during the morning and afternoon vehicular traffic rush hours. Based on
the Coast Guard's observation of bridge use during peak traffic hours,
the existing schedule would continue to create an unreasonable amount
of vehicle traffic during morning and afternoon commutes and generally
during daylight hours. One comment further suggested not changing the
existing schedule during certain times of the year when increased
vessel traffic is expected. The Coast Guard adopted this proposal
because would meet the reasonable needs of navigation.
    The Lady's Island Bridge in Beaufort, South Carolina has a vertical
clearance of 30 feet at Mean High Water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge schedule can be found in 33 CFR 117.911(f).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 117.911(f). This proposed
regulation would modify timeframes the bridge may remain closed. It
would extend the morning closure period, when the bridge is authorized
to remain closed, by an additional half hour and the afternoon closure
period by an additional hour. It would also set an hourly opening
schedule between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the Bridge will open on the
hour, thereby reducing hourly openings from twice an hour to once an
hour during daytime hours, Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. This proposed regulation would reduce vehicle backups without
unreasonably restricting vessel traffic, thereby balancing the needs of
both modes of transportation. No changes to the existing regulation
will be implemented during the months of April, May, October and
November because higher vessel traffic volumes exist during these time
periods. At all other times, this bridge will open on signal.
    The South Carolina Department of Transportation, the bridge owner,
has no objections to this proposed schedule.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize
our analyses based on these statutes and E.O.s and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under E.O. 12866. Accordingly,

the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on vessels being able
to plan voyages that require transiting the bridge during the scheduled
opening periods or, when capable of doing so, vessels may transit under
the bridge at any time.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A
above this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category
of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule simply promulgates
the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. Normally such
actions are categorically excluded from further review, under figure 2-
1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which

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

    The Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or ``Exchange'') is
proposing to amend its rules governing its Directed Order process on
the Boston Options Exchange (``BOX''). The Exchange is proposing to
clearly state that the BOX Trading Host identifies to an Executing
Participant (``EP'') \7\ the identity of the firm entering a Directed
Order. This rule will be effective until June 30, 2006, while the
Commission considers a corresponding Exchange proposal \8\ to amend its
rules to permit EPs to choose the firms from whom they will accept
Directed Orders, while providing complete anonymity of the firm
entering a Directed Order.\9\ In addition, the Exchange commits that it
will cease to provide the identity of order entry firms prior to June
30, 2006, if the Commission staff prohibits all options exchanges from
disclosing the identity of order entry firms in their Directed Order
systems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ BSE proposes that a Market Maker who desires to accept
Directed Orders must systemically indicate that it is an EP whenever
the Market Maker wishes to receive Directed Orders.
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53357 (February 23,
2006), 71 FR 10730 (March 2, 2006) (SR-BSE-2005-52).
    \9\ In the event that the issue of anonymity in the Directed
Order process is not resolved by June 30, 2006, the Exchange intends
to submit another filing under Rule 19b-4(f)(1) under the Act
extending this rule and system process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 BSE 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 BSE 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
    BSE seeks to amend its rules to clearly state that the BOX Trading
Host identifies to an EP the identity of the firm entering a Directed
Order. Market Makers are able to handle orders on an agency basis
directed to them by Order Flow Providers (``OFPs''). In Section 1,
Chapter I of the BOX Rules, a Directed Order is defined as a Customer
Order directed to a Market Maker by an OFP. An OFP sends a Directed
Order to BOX with a designation of the Market Maker to whom the order
is to be directed. BOX then routes the Directed Order to the
appropriate Market Maker. Under Chapter VI, Section 5(c)(ii) of the BOX
Rules, a Market Maker only has two choices when he receives a Directed
Order: (1) Submit the order to the PIP process; or (2) send the order
back to BOX for placement onto the BOX Book.
    The BSE proposes to amend Chapter VI, Section 5(c)(i) of the BOX
Rules to clarify that unlike all other orders submitted to the BOX
Trading Host, Directed Orders are not anonymous. The Options
Participant identification number (``Participant ID'') of the OFP
sending the Directed Order will be revealed to the Market Maker
recipient. The Market Maker must submit this Participant ID to BOX
whenever the Market Maker chooses to submit the Directed Order and his
Primary Improvement Order to the PIP process. However, once the
Directed Order is submitted to the PIP process or the BOX Book, the
Participant ID is not shown to any market participant and the identity
of the OFP will be anonymous pursuant to Chapter V, Section 14(e) of
the BOX Rules.
    Chapter VI, Section 5(c)(i) of the BOX Rules prohibits a Market
Maker from rejecting a Directed Order. The BSE wishes to clarify that
upon systematically indicating its desire to accept Directed Orders, a
Market Maker that receives a Directed Order is not, under any
circumstances, to reject the receipt of the Directed Order from the BOX
Trading Host nor reject the Directed Order back to the OFP who

sent it. A Market Maker who desires to accept Directed Orders must
systemically indicate that it is an EP whenever the Market Maker wishes
to receive Directed Orders from the BOX Trading Host. If a Market Maker
does not systemically indicate that it is an EP, then the BOX Trading
Host will not forward any Directed Orders to that Market Maker. In such
a case, the BOX Trading Host will send the order directly to the BOX
Book.
Other Clarifying Rule Change Relating to Directed Orders
    Currently, Chapter V, Section 14(e) of the BOX Rules states that
the identity of Options Participants who submit orders to the Trading
Host will remain anonymous to market participants at all times, except
during error resolution or through the normal clearing process as set
forth in Chapter V, Section 16(a)(vi) of the BOX Rules. Proposed
Chapter V, Section 14(e) of the BOX Rules and the Supplementary
Material thereto, would clarify that the Participant ID of an OFP who
submits orders to the Trading Host for use in the Directed Order
process will be revealed to the EP who receives such Directed Orders as
set forth in Chapter VI, Section 5(c) of the BOX Rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
clarify the information contained in a Directed Order. This
clarification will allow Options Participants to make better informed
decisions in determining when and how to use the Directed Order
process. Accordingly, the Exchange believes that the proposal is
consistent with the requirements of section 6(b) of the Act,\10\ in
general, and section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that it
is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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 comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change, as amended: (1) Does
not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, 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) \12\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act
requires the self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days (or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission) before doing so. The BSE has requested that the
Commission waive the five-day pre-filing notice requirement. The
Commission granted BSE's request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The BSE requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay, as specified in Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ and designate the
proposed rule change to become operative immediately. The Commission
believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver
would immediately conform the BOX rules with BOX's current practice and
clarify that Directed Orders on BOX are not anonymous.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has 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 such proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ The effective date of the original proposed rule is March
14, 2006. The effective date of Amendment No. 1 is March 16, 2006.
The effective date of Amendment No. 2 is March 17, 2006. For
purposes of calculating the 60-day period within which the
Commission may summarily abrogate the proposed rule change under
section 19(b)(3)(C) of the Act, the Commission considers the period
to commence on March 17, 2006, the date on which the BSE submitted
Amendment No. 2. See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be

application in Docket No. CP09-422-000, pursuant to section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act and part 157 of the Commission's regulations,
requesting permission and approval to abandon its certificate authority
to lease and operate the Everett Delta Lateral and associated
facilities, which consist of approximately 8.8 miles of 16-inch
diameter pipeline, two delivery taps, and associated piping and
appurtenances, and transfer the operation of Facilities to Puget Sound
Energy, Inc (Puget). Additionally, Puget seeks a determination from the
Commission that, following the abandonment and transfer of operation to
Puget, the Facilities will be considered non-jurisdictional under
section 1(b) of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The
filing may also be viewed on the Web at http://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. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Lynn
Dahlberg, Manager Certificates, at<PHONE_NUMBER>, Northwest Pipeline GP,
295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the

EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the
issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to
notify Federal and State agencies of the timing for the completion of
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 or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible online at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0066]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; 2017 Key West Paddle Classic, Key West, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary moving safety zone
on the waters surrounding Key West, Florida, during the 2017 Key West
Paddle Classic, a paddle board race event. The safety zone is necessary
to ensure the safety of participant vessels, spectators, and the
general public during the event. This regulation prohibits persons and
non-participant vessels from entering, transiting through, anchoring
in, or remaining within the safety zone unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port (COTP) Key West or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 7:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. on April 29,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

COTP Captain of the Port
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. The event is scheduled to take place
on April 29th and the safety zone must be in effect on that date in
order to serve its purpose of ensuring the safety of the public from
hazards associated with paddle events. For those reasons, it would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest to publish an NPRM.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register for the same reasons stated in the
preceding paragraph.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under the authority in 33
U.S.C. 1231. The purpose of the rule is to ensure the safety of the
event participants, the general public, vessels and the navigable
waters surrounding Key West, Florida, during the 2017 Key West Paddle
Classic event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone on certain navigable waters
surrounding Key West, Florida, during the 2017 Key West Paddle Classic
event. The moving safety zone encompasses all waters within 50 yards in
front of the lead safety vessel preceding the first event participants,
50 yards behind the safety vessel trailing the last event participants,
and at all times extend 100 yards on either side of safety vessels. The
event course begins at Higgs Beach in Key West, Florida, moves west to
the area offshore of Fort Zach State Park, north through Key West
Harbor, east through Fleming Key Cut, south through Cow Key Channel,
and west returning back to Higgs Beach. The event is scheduled to take
place from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 29, 2017. Approximately 200
paddle boarders and six safety vessels are anticipated to

participate in the event. No person or non-participant vessel will be
permitted to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP Key West or a
designated representative. If authorization to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the safety zone is granted by the COTP Key
West or a designated representative, all persons and vessels receiving
such authorization must comply with the instructions of the COTP Key
West or a designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide
notice of the safety zone by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice
to Mariners, and/or by on-scene designated representatives.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') direct agencies to
assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and,
if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that
maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity).
E.O.13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation
and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new
regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for
elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has not designated this
rule a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, OMB has not reviewed it. As this rule is not
a significant regulatory action, this rule is exempt from the
requirements of Executive Order 13771. See OMB Memorandum titled
``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order of
January 30, 2017, titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs''' (February 2, 2017).
    The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) Although persons and vessels may not enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone without
authorization from the COTP Key West or a designated representative,
they may operate in the surrounding area during the enforcement period;
(2) Persons and vessels will still be able to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the regulated area if authorized by the
COTP Key West or a designated representative; and (3) the Coast Guard
will provide advance notification of the safety zone to the local
maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, or by on-scene designated representatives.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on ``small entities'' comprised of small businesses and
not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated
and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a

significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
safety zone that will prohibit persons and vessels from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within a limited area on
the navigable water surrounding Key West, Florida, during a paddle
event lasting seven and one-half hours. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC)
supporting this determination is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may
lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 165 as follows:

    Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191, 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1,
6.04-6, 160.5; and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No.

0
2. Add temporary Sec.  165.T07-0066 to read as follows:

course begins at Higgs Beach in Key West, Florida, moves west to the
area offshore of Fort Zach State Park, north through Key West Harbor,
east through Fleming Key Cut, south through Cow Key Channel, and west
returning back to Higgs Beach.
    (b) Definition. As used in this section, the term ``designated
representative'' means Coast Guard Patrol Commanders, including Coast
Guard coxswains, petty officers, and other officers operating Coast
Guard vessels, and Federal, state, and local officers designated by or
assisting the Captain of the Port (COTP) Key West in the enforcement of
the regulated areas.
    (c) Regulations. (1) All persons and vessels are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the
regulated area unless authorized by the COTP Key West or a designated
representative.
    (2) Persons and vessels desiring to enter, transit through, anchor
in, or remain within the regulated area may contact the COTP Key West

representative.
    (3) The Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated area by

channel 16, and/or by on-scene designated representatives.
    (d) Enforcement period. This rule will be enforced from 7:30 a.m.
until 3 p.m. on April 29, 2017.
