Standards for Living Organisms in Ships' Ballast Water Discharged
in U.S. Waters

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Rule; announcement of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On March 23, 2012, the Coast Guard published in the Federal
Register a Final Rule entitled ``Standards for Living Organisms in
Ships' Ballast Water Discharged in U.S. Waters''. The rulemaking
triggered new information collection requirements affecting vessel
owners and their potential requests for an extension of the compliance
date if they cannot practicably comply with the compliance date
otherwise applicable to their vessels. This document announces that the
request to revise the existing collection of information to add the new
request for an extension provision has been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and may now be enforced. The OMB control
number is 1625-0069.

DATES: 33 CFR 151.1513 and 151.2036 will be effective beginning June
21, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
document, call or email Mr. John Morris, Project Manager, U.S. Coast
Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
If you have questions about viewing the docket (USCG-2001-10486), call
Ms. Renee V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202-
366-9826.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard established a standard for
the allowable concentration of living organisms in ships' ballast water
discharged in waters of the United States (77 FR 17254). The Coast
Guard also established an approval process for ballast water management
systems (77 FR 17254). These new regulations will aid in controlling
the introduction and spread of nonindigenous species from ships'
ballast water in waters of the United States. With the exception of
this collection of information, the final rule becomes effective on
June 21, 2012. In the final rule, the Coast Guard included a provision
to allow vessel owners and operators to request an extension of their
compliance date if they cannot practicably comply with the compliance
date otherwise applicable to their vessels. This extension provision
will give flexibility to vessel owners and operators to comply with the
final rule.
    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), an
agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information until the
collection is approved by OMB. Accordingly, the preamble to the final
rule stated that the Coast Guard would not enforce the collection of
information requirements occurring under 33 CFR 151.1513 and 151.2036
until the collection of information request was approved by OMB, and
also stated that the Coast Guard would publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing that OMB approved and assigned a control number for
the requirement.
    The Coast Guard submitted the information collection request to OMB
for approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. On
May 10, 2012, OMB approved the revision to the existing collection of
information, OMB Control Number 1625-0069, entitled ``Ballast Water
Management for Vessels with Ballast Tanks Entering U.S. Waters.'' The
approval for this collection of information expires on May 31, 2015.

    Dated: June 6, 2012.

Acting Director of Commercial Regulations and Standards, U.S. Coast
Guard.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
of Proposed Rule Change To List and Trade Shares of the iShares
Commodity Curve Carry Strategy ETF Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E

March 14, 2019.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on March 1, 2019, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    The Exchange proposes to proposes to list and trade shares of the
iShares Commodity Curve Carry Strategy ETF under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E
(``Managed Fund Shares''). The proposed change is available on the
Exchange's website at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to list and trade shares (``Shares'') of the
iShares Commodity Curve Carry Strategy ETF (``Fund'') under NYSE Arca
Rule 8.600-E, which governs the listing and trading of Managed Fund
Shares \4\ on the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ A Managed Fund Share is a security that represents an
interest in an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1) (``1940 Act'') organized as an
open-end investment company or similar entity that invests in a
portfolio of securities selected by its investment adviser
consistent with its investment objectives and policies. In contrast,
an open-end investment company that issues Investment Company Units,
listed and traded on the Exchange uFnder [sic] NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-
E(j)(3), seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance of a specific foreign
or domestic stock index, fixed income securities index or
combination thereof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Shares will be offered by iShares U.S. ETF Trust (the
``Trust''), which is registered with the Commission as an

open-end management investment company.\5\ The Fund is a series of the
Trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Trust is registered under the 1940 Act. On December 3,
2018, the Trust filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') its registration statement on Form N-1A
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a), and under the 1940
Act relating to the Fund (File Nos. 333-179904 and 811-22649)
(``Registration Statement''). The description of the operation of
the Trust and the Fund herein is based, in part, on the Registration
Statement. In addition, the Commission has issued an order upon
which the Trust may rely, granting certain exemptive relief under
the 1940 Act. See Investment Company Act Release No. 29571(January
24, 2011) (File No. 812-13601).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BlackRock Fund Advisors (``BFA'' or ``Adviser'') will be the
investment adviser for the Fund. BlackRock Investments, LLC will be the
distributor (``Distributor'') for the Fund's Shares. State Street Bank
and Trust Company will serve as the administrator, custodian and
transfer agent (``Custodian'' or ``Transfer Agent'') for the Fund.
    Commentary .06 to Rule 8.600-E provides that, if the investment
adviser to the investment company issuing Managed Fund Shares is
affiliated with a broker-dealer, such investment adviser shall erect
and maintain a ``fire wall'' between the investment adviser and the
broker-dealer with respect to access to information concerning the
composition and/or changes to such investment company portfolio.\6\ In
addition, Commentary .06 further requires that personnel who make
decisions on the open-end fund's portfolio composition must be subject
to procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material
nonpublic information regarding the open-end fund's portfolio. The
Adviser is not registered as a broker-dealer, but is affiliated with a
broker-dealer, and has implemented and will maintain a fire wall with
respect to its broker-dealer affiliate regarding access to information
concerning the composition and/or changes to the portfolio. In the
event (a) the Adviser becomes registered as a broker-dealer or newly
affiliated with a broker-dealer, or (b) any new adviser or sub-adviser
is a registered broker-dealer or becomes affiliated with a broker-
dealer, it will implement and maintain a fire wall with respect to its
relevant personnel or its broker-dealer affiliate regarding access to
information concerning the composition and/or changes to the portfolio,
and will be subject to procedures designed to prevent the use and
dissemination of material non-public information regarding such
portfolio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ An investment adviser to an open-end fund is required to be
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the ``Advisers
Act''). As a result, the Adviser and its related personnel are
subject to the provisions of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act
relating to codes of ethics. This Rule requires investment advisers
to adopt a code of ethics that reflects the fiduciary nature of the
relationship to clients as well as compliance with other applicable
securities laws. Accordingly, procedures designed to prevent the
communication and misuse of non-public information by an investment
adviser must be consistent with Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act.
In addition, Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act makes it unlawful
for an investment adviser to provide investment advice to clients
unless such investment adviser has (i) adopted and implemented
written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent
violation, by the investment adviser and its supervised persons, of
the Advisers Act and the Commission rules adopted thereunder; (ii)
implemented, at a minimum, an annual review regarding the adequacy
of the policies and procedures established pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above and the effectiveness of their implementation; and (iii)
designated an individual (who is a supervised person) responsible
for administering the policies and procedures adopted under
subparagraph (i) above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

iShares Commodity Curve Carry Strategy ETF
Fund Investments
    According to the Registration Statement, the investment objective
of the Fund will be to seek to provide exposure, on a total return
basis, to a group of commodities with higher carry than a broad
universe of commodities.
    The Fund is actively managed and seeks to achieve its investment
objective in part,\7\ under normal market conditions,\8\ by investing
in listed and over-the-counter (``OTC'') swaps, including total return
swaps, referencing the- ICE BofAML Commodity Carry Total Return Index
(the ``Reference Benchmark'').\9\ The Fund is expected to establish new
swaps contracts on an ongoing basis and replace expiring contracts.\10\
Swaps subsequently entered into by the Fund may have terms that differ
from the swaps the Fund previously held. The Fund expects generally to
pay a fixed payment rate and certain swap-related fees to the swap
counterparty and receive the total return of the Reference Benchmark,
including, in the event of negative performance by the Reference
Benchmark, negative return (i.e., a payment from the Fund to the swap
counterparty). In seeking total return, the Fund additionally aims to
generate interest income and capital appreciation through a cash
management strategy consisting primarily of cash, cash equivalents,\11\
and fixed income securities other than cash equivalents, as described
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Fund's investment objective is also achieved by
investing in cash, cash equivalents, Commodity Investments, Fixed
Income Securities and Short-Term Fixed Income Securities (each as
defined or described below).
    \8\ The term ``normal market conditions'' is defined in NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(5).
    \9\ Although the Fund may hold swaps on the Reference Benchmark,
or direct investments in, the same futures contracts as those
included in the Reference Benchmark, the Fund is not obligated to
invest in any futures contracts included in, and does not seek to
replicate the performance of, the Reference Benchmark.
    \10\ Swaps on the Reference Benchmark are included in
``Commodity Investments'' as defined below.
    \11\ For purposes of this filing, cash equivalents are the
short-term instruments enumerated in Commentary .01(c) to Rule
8.600-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Reference Benchmark is composed of 20 futures contracts on
physical agricultural, energy, precious metals, and industrial metals
commodities. The Fund expects to obtain a substantial amount of its
exposure to the carry strategy by entering into total return swaps that
pay the returns of the commodity futures contracts referenced in the
Reference Benchmark. The Reference Benchmark includes the 10 traded
futures contracts on commodities having the highest degree of
backwardation or lowest degree of contango among the 20 futures
contracts on physical agricultural, energy, precious metals, and
industrial metals listed on the U.S. regulated futures exchanges.
    In order to maintain exposure to a futures contract on a particular
commodity, an investor must sell the position in the expiring contract
and buy a new position in a contract with a later delivery month, which
is referred to as ``rolling.'' If the price for the new futures
contract is less than the price of the expiring contract, then the
market for the commodity is said to be in ``backwardation.'' In these
markets, roll returns are positive, which is referred to as ``positive
carry.'' The term ``contango'' is used to describe a market in which
the price for a new futures contract is more than the price of the
expiring contract. In these markets, roll returns are negative, which
is referred to as ``negative carry.'' The Reference Benchmark seeks to
employ a positive carry strategy that emphasizes commodities and
futures contract months with the greatest degree of backwardation and
lowest degree of contango, resulting in net gains through positive roll
returns. The Fund will invest in financial instruments described below
that provide exposure to commodities and not in physical commodities
themselves.
    The Fund (through its Subsidiary (as defined below)) may hold the
following listed derivative instruments: Futures, options, notes and
swaps on commodities, currencies, securities,

fixed income, interest rates, financial rates, U.S. Treasuries, or a
basket or index of any of the foregoing (collectively, ``Listed
Derivatives'').\12\ Listed Derivatives will comply with the criteria in
Commentary .01(d) of NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Examples of Listed Derivatives the Fund may invest in
include: Exchange traded futures contracts similar to those found in
the Reference Benchmark, exchange traded futures contracts on the
Reference Benchmark, swaps on commodity futures contracts similar to
those found in the Reference Benchmark, futures and options that
correlate to the investment returns of commodities without investing
directly in physical commodities, as well as exchange traded
commodity-linked notes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund (through its Subsidiary) may hold the following over-the-
counter (``OTC'') derivative instruments: Forwards, options, notes and
swaps on commodities, currencies, securities, fixed income, interest
rates, financial rates, U.S. Treasuries, or a basket or index of any of
the foregoing (collectively, ``OTC Derivatives'',\13\ and together with
Listed Derivatives, ``Commodity Investments'').\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ As discussed below under ``Application of Generic Listing
Requirements'' below, the Fund's and the Subsidiary's holdings in
OTC Derivatives will not comply with the criteria in Commentary
.01(e) of NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
    \14\ Examples of OTC Derivatives the Fund may invest in include
swaps on commodity futures contracts similar to those found in the
Reference Benchmark, options that correlate to the investment
returns of commodities without investing directly in physical
commodities, and OTC commodity-linked notes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund's exposure to Commodity Investments is obtained by
investing through a wholly-owned subsidiary organized in the Cayman
Islands (the ``Subsidiary'').\15\ The Subsidiary is advised by BFA and
has the same investment objective as the Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ All statements included in this filing related to the
Fund's investments and restrictions are applicable to the Fund and
Subsidiary collectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In compliance with the requirements of Sub-Chapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its
total assets in the Subsidiary. The Fund's Commodity Investments held
in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to
broad commodities.
    The Fund may hold cash, cash equivalents and fixed income
securities other than cash equivalents, as described further below.
    Specifically, the Fund may invest in Short-Term Fixed Income
Securities (as defined below) other than cash equivalents on an ongoing
basis to provide liquidity or for other reasons.\16\ Short-Term Fixed
Income Securities will have a maturity of no longer than 397 days and
include only the following: (i) Money market instruments; (ii)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies
or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises);
(iii) negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, fixed-
time deposits and other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks
(including non-U.S. branches) and similar institutions; (iv) commercial
paper; (v) non-convertible corporate debt securities (e.g., bonds and
debentures); (vi) repurchase agreements; (vii) short-term U.S. dollar-
denominated obligations of non-U.S. banks (including U.S. branches)
that, in the opinion of BFA, are of comparable quality to obligations
of U.S. banks that may be purchased by the Fund; (viii) and sovereign
obligations (collectively, ``Short-Term Fixed Income Securities''). Any
of these securities may be purchased on a current or forward-settled
basis.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ As discussed under ``Application of Generic Listing
Requirements'', below, the Exchange proposes that such Short-Term
Fixed Income Securities be excluded from the requirements of
Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
    \17\ To the extent that the Fund and the Subsidiary invest in
cash and Short-Term Fixed Income Securities that are cash
equivalents (i.e., that have maturities of less than 3 months) as
specified in Commentary .01(c) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, such
investments will comply with Commentary .01(c) and may be held
without limitation. Non-convertible corporate debt securities and
sovereign obligations are not included as cash equivalents in
Commentary .01(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund also may invest in fixed income securities as defined in
Commentary .01(b) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, other than cash
equivalents and Short-Term Fixed Income Securities, with remaining
maturities longer than 397 days (``Fixed Income Securities''). Such
Fixed Income Securities will comply with requirements of Commentary
.01(b) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
    The Subsidiary may hold cash and cash equivalents.
    The Fund will seek to gain exposure to Commodity Investments by
investing in its Subsidiary. The Fund wholly owns and controls the
Subsidiary, and the Fund and the Subsidiary are managed by BFA. The
Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the 1940 Act
and is a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
    The Trust's Board of Trustees has oversight responsibility for the
investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in the
Subsidiary, and the Fund's role as sole shareholder of the Subsidiary.
    The Fund and the Subsidiary will not invest in securities or other
financial instruments that have not been described in this proposed
rule change.
Other Restrictions
    The Fund's investments, including derivatives, will be consistent
with the Fund's investment objective and will not be used to enhance
leverage (although certain derivatives and other investments may result
in leverage). That is, the Fund's investments will not be used to seek
performance that is the multiple or inverse multiple (e.g., 2X or -3X)
of the Reference Benchmark.
Use of Derivatives by the Fund
    Investments in derivative instruments will be made in accordance
with the Fund's investment objective and policies.
    To limit the potential risk associated with such transactions, the
Fund will enter into offsetting transactions or segregate or
``earmark'' assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser in accordance
with procedures established by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the
``Board''). In addition, the Fund has included appropriate risk
disclosure in its offering documents, including leveraging risk.
Leveraging risk is the risk that certain transactions of the Fund,
including the Fund's use of derivatives, may give rise to leverage,
causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged.
Impact on Arbitrage Mechanism
    The Adviser believes there will be minimal, if any, impact to the
arbitrage mechanism as a result of the Fund's use of derivatives. The
Adviser understands that market makers and participants should be able
to value derivatives as long as the positions are disclosed with
relevant information. The Adviser believes that the price at which
Shares of the Fund trade will continue to be disciplined by arbitrage
opportunities created by the ability to purchase or redeem Shares of
the Fund at their net asset value (``NAV''), which should ensure that
Shares of the Fund will not trade at a material discount or premium in
relation to their NAV.
    The Adviser does not believe there will be any significant impacts
to the settlement or operational aspects of the Fund's arbitrage
mechanism due to the use of derivatives.
Creation and Redemption of Shares
    According to the Registration Statement, the Trust will issue and
sell Shares of the Fund only in Creation Units on a continuous basis
through the Distributor or its agent at a price based on the Fund's NAV
next determined after receipt, on any business day of an order received
by the Distributor or its agent in proper form. The size of a Creation
Unit is 50,000 Shares. The

Adviser may increase or decrease the number of the Fund's Shares that
constitute a Creation Unit.
    The consideration for purchase of Creation Units of the Fund is
generally cash. However, in some cases the consideration consists of an
in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities (``Deposit
Securities'') and the Cash Component computed as described below.
Together, the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component constitute the
``Fund Deposit.'' The Fund Deposit represents the minimum initial and
subsequent investment amount for a Creation Unit of the Fund.
    The ``Cash Component'' is an amount equal to the difference between
the NAV of the Shares (per Creation Unit) and the ``Deposit Amount,''
which is an amount equal to the market value of the Deposit Securities,
and serves to compensate for any differences between the NAV per
Creation Unit and the Deposit Amount.
    The Fund's current policy is to accept cash in substitution for the
Deposit Securities it might otherwise accept as in-kind consideration
for the purchase of Creation Units. The Fund may, at times, elect to
receive Deposit Securities (i.e., the in-kind deposit of a designated
portfolio of securities) and a Cash Component as consideration for the
purchase of Creation Units. If the Fund elects to accept Deposit
Securities, a purchaser's delivery of the Deposit Securities together
with the Cash Component will constitute the ``Fund Deposit,'' which
will represent the consideration for a Creation Unit of the Fund.
    The Fund reserves the right to permit or require the substitution
of a ``cash in lieu'' amount to be added to the Cash Component to
replace any Deposit Security that may not be available in sufficient
quantity for delivery or that may not be eligible for transfer through
the Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') or the clearing process (as
discussed below) or that the ``Authorized Participant'' as defined
below, is not able to trade due to a trading restriction, during times
the Fund has elected to receive Deposit Securities. The Fund also
reserves the right to permit or require a ``cash in lieu'' amount in
certain circumstances.
    To be eligible to place orders with the Distributor and to create a
Creation Unit of the Fund, an entity must be: (i) A ``Participating
Party,'' i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing
process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National
Securities Clearing Corporation (``NSCC'') (the ``Clearing Process''),
a clearing agency that is registered with the SEC, or (ii) a DTC
Participant, and must have executed an agreement with the Distributor,
with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units
(``Authorized Participant Agreement'') (discussed below). A
Participating Party or DTC Participant who has executed an Authorized
Participant Agreement is referred to as an ``Authorized Participant.''
    To initiate an order for a Creation Unit, an Authorized Participant
must submit to the Distributor or its agent an irrevocable order to
purchase Shares of the Fund, in proper form, generally before 4:00
p.m., Eastern time on any business day to receive that day's NAV.
    Shares of the Fund may be redeemed by only in Creation Units at
their NAV next determined after receipt of a redemption request in
proper form by the Distributor or its agent and only on a business day.
The Fund generally redeems Creation Units solely for cash.
    BFA makes available through the NSCC, prior to the opening of
business on the Exchange on each business day, the designated portfolio
of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash
may be substituted) that will be applicable (subject to possible
amendment or correction) to redemption requests received in proper form
(as defined below) on that day (``Fund Securities''), and an amount of
cash (the ``Cash Amount,'' as described below). Such Fund Securities
and the corresponding Cash Amount (each subject to possible amendment
or correction) are applicable, in order to effect redemptions of
Creation Units of the Fund until such time as the next announced
composition of the Fund Securities and Cash Amount is made available.
Where redemptions are permitted in-kind, Fund Securities received on
redemption may not be identical to Deposit Securities that are
applicable to creations of Creation Units. Procedures and requirements
governing redemption transactions are set forth in the handbook for
Authorized Participants and may change from time to time.
    The Trust may, in its sole discretion, substitute a ``cash in
lieu'' amount to replace any Fund Security. The Trust also reserves the
right to permit or require a ``cash in lieu'' amount in certain
circumstances. The amount of cash paid out in such cases will be
equivalent to the value of the substituted security listed as a Fund
Security. In the event that the Fund Securities have a value greater
than the NAV of the Shares, a compensating cash payment equal to the
difference is required to be made by or through an Authorized
Participant by the redeeming shareholder. The Fund generally redeems
Creation Units for cash.
    Redemption requests for Creation Units of the Fund must be
submitted to the Distributor or its agent by or through an Authorized
Participant. An Authorized Participant must submit an irrevocable
request to redeem Shares of the Fund generally before 4:00 p.m.,
Eastern time on any business day in order to receive that day's NAV.
Application of Generic Listing Requirements
    The Exchange is submitting this proposed rule change because the
portfolio for the Fund will not meet all of the ``generic'' listing
requirements of Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E applicable to
the listing of Managed Fund Shares. The Fund's portfolio will meet all
such requirements except for those set forth in Commentary .01 (b)(1)-
(4) (with respect to Short-Term Fixed Income Securities) and (e) (with
respect to OTC Derivatives), as described below.
    The Fund's Short-Term Fixed Income Securities will not comply with
the requirements set forth in Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) to NYSE Arca
Rule 8.600-E.\18\ While the requirements set forth in

Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) include rules intended to ensure that the
fixed income securities included in a fund's portfolio are sufficiently
large and diverse, and have sufficient publicly available information
regarding the issuances, the Exchange believes that any concerns
related to non-compliance are mitigated by the types of instruments
that the Fund would hold. The Fund's Short-Term Fixed Income Securities
primarily will include those instruments that are included in the
definition of cash and cash equivalents, but are not considered cash
and cash equivalents because they have maturities of three months or
longer. The Exchange believes, however, that, because all Short-Term
Fixed Income Securities, including non-convertible corporate debt
securities and sovereign obligations (which are not cash equivalents as
enumerated in Commentary .01(c) to Rule 8.600-E), are highly liquid
they are less susceptible than other types of fixed income instruments
both to price manipulation and volatility and that the holdings as
proposed are generally consistent with the policy concerns which
Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) is intended to address. Because the Short-Term
Fixed Income Securities will consist of high-quality fixed income
securities described above, the Exchange believes that the policy
concerns that Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) is intended to address are
otherwise mitigated and that the Fund should be permitted to hold these
securities in a manner that may not comply with Commentary .01(b)(1)-
(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E provides
as follows:
    (b) Fixed Income--Fixed income securities are debt securities
that are notes, bonds, debentures or evidence of indebtedness that
include, but are not limited to, U.S. Department of Treasury
securities (``Treasury Securities''), government-sponsored entity
securities (``GSE Securities''), municipal securities, trust
preferred securities, supranational debt and debt of a foreign
country or a subdivision thereof, investment grade and high yield
corporate debt, bank loans, mortgage and asset backed securities,
and commercial paper. To the extent that a portfolio includes
convertible securities, the fixed income security into which such
security is converted shall meet the criteria of this Commentary
.01(b) after converting. The components of the fixed income portion
of a portfolio shall meet the following criteria initially and on a
continuing basis:
    (1) Components that in the aggregate account for at least 75% of
the fixed income weight of the portfolio each shall have a minimum
original principal amount outstanding of $100 million or more;
    (2) No component fixed-income security (excluding Treasury
Securities and GSE Securities) shall represent more than 30% of the
fixed income weight of the portfolio, and the five most heavily
weighted component fixed income securities in the portfolio
(excluding Treasury Securities and GSE Securities) shall not in the
aggregate account for more than 65% of the fixed income weight of
the portfolio;
    (3) An underlying portfolio (excluding exempted securities) that
includes fixed income securities shall include a minimum of 13 non-
affiliated issuers, provided, however, that there shall be no
minimum number of non-affiliated issuers required for fixed income
securities if at least 70% of the weight of the portfolio consists
of equity securities as described in Commentary .01(a) above;
    (4) Component securities that in aggregate account for at least
90% of the fixed income weight of the portfolio must be either (a)
from issuers that are required to file reports pursuant to Sections
13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (b) from
issuers that have a worldwide market value of its outstanding common
equity held by non-affiliates of $700 million or more; (c) from
issuers that have outstanding securities that are notes, bonds
debentures, or evidence of indebtedness having a total remaining
principal amount of at least $1 billion; (d) exempted securities as
defined in Section 3(a)(12) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
or (e) from issuers that are a government of a foreign country or a
political subdivision of a foreign country''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund's portfolio also will not comply with the requirements set
forth in Commentary .01(e) (with respect to OTC Derivatives) to NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E.\19\ Specifically, the Fund's investments in OTC
Derivatives may exceed 20% of Fund assets, calculated as the aggregate
gross notional value of such OTC Derivatives. The Exchange proposes
that up to 60% of the Fund's assets (calculated as the aggregate gross
notional value) may be invested in OTC Derivatives. The Adviser
believes that it is important to provide the Fund with additional
flexibility to manage risk associated with its investments. Depending
on market conditions, it may be critical that the Fund be able to
utilize available OTC Derivatives to efficiently gain exposure to the
multiple commodities markets that underlie the Reference Benchmark as
well as commodity futures contracts similar to those found in the
Reference Benchmark.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ Commentary .01(e) of NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E provides: ``The
portfolio may hold OTC derivatives, including forwards, options and
swaps on commodities, currencies and financial instruments (e.g.,
stocks, fixed income, interest rates, and volatility) or a basket or
index of any of the foregoing; however, on both an initial and
continuing basis, no more than 20% of the assets in the portfolio
may be invested in OTC derivatives. For purposes of calculating this
limitation, a portfolio's investment in OTC derivatives will be
calculated as the aggregate gross notional value of the OTC
derivatives.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OTC Derivatives can be tailored to provide specific exposure to the
Fund's Reference Benchmark, as well as commodity futures contracts
similar to those found in the Reference Benchmark, allowing the Fund to
more efficiently meet its investment objective. For example, the
Reference Benchmark is composed of 20 futures contracts across 20
physical commodities, which may not be sufficiently liquid and would
not provide the commodity exposure the Fund requires to meet its
investment objective if the Fund were to invest in the futures
directly. A total return swap can be structured to provide exposure to
the same futures contracts as exist in the Reference Benchmark, as well
as commodity futures contracts similar to those found in the Reference
Benchmark, while providing sufficient efficiency to allow the Fund to
more easily meet its investment objective.
    In addition, if the Fund were to gain commodity exposure
exclusively through the use of listed futures, the Fund's holdings in
Listed Derivatives would be subject to position limits and
accountability levels established by an exchange. Such limitations
would restrict the Fund's ability to gain efficient exposure to the
commodities in the Reference Benchmark, or futures contracts similar to
those found in the Reference Benchmark, thereby impeding the Fund's
ability to satisfy its investment objective.
    The Adviser represents that the basket or index on which much of
the Fund's OTC Derivatives will be based will satisfy the criteria
applicable to holdings in Listed Derivatives in Commentary .01(d)(2) on
an initial and continued listing basis.\20\ With respect to the Fund's
holdings in OTC Derivatives, the aggregate gross notional value of OTC
Derivatives based on any five or fewer underlying reference assets will
not exceed 65% of the weight of the portfolio (including gross notional
exposures), and the aggregate gross notional value of OTC Derivatives
based on any single underlying reference asset will not exceed 30% of
the weight of the portfolio (including gross notional exposures). In
addition, the Adviser represents that futures on all commodities in the
Reference Benchmark are traded on futures exchanges that are members of
the Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ Commentary .01(d)(2) to Rule 8.600-E provides that, with
respect to a fund's portfolio, the aggregate gross notional value of
listed derivatives based on any five or fewer underlying reference
assets shall not exceed 65% of the weight of the portfolio
(including gross notional exposures), and the aggregate gross
notional value of listed derivatives based on any single underlying
reference asset shall not exceed 30% of the weight of the portfolio
(including gross notional exposures).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that, other than Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) with
respect to Short-Term Fixed Income Securities) and .01(e) (with respect
to OTC Derivatives) to Rule 8.600-E, as described above, the Fund's
portfolio will meet all other requirements of Rule 8.600-E.
Availability of Information
    The Fund's website (www.iShares.com) will include the prospectus
for the Fund that may be downloaded. The Fund's website will include
additional quantitative information updated on a daily basis including,
for the Fund, (1) daily trading volume, the prior business day's
reported closing price, NAV and midpoint of the bid/ask spread at the
time of calculation of such NAV (the ``Bid/Ask Price''),\21\ and a
calculation of the premium and discount of the Bid/Ask Price against
the NAV, and (2) data in chart format displaying the frequency
distribution of discounts and premiums of the daily Bid/Ask Price
against the NAV, within appropriate ranges, for each of the four
previous calendar quarters. On each business day, before commencement
of trading in Shares in the Core Trading Session on the Exchange, the
Fund will disclose on its website the Disclosed Portfolio as defined in
NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(2) that forms the basis for the Fund's
calculation of NAV at the end of the business day.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ The Bid/Ask Price of the Fund's Shares will be determined
using the mid-point of the highest bid and the lowest offer on the
Exchange as of the time of calculation of the Fund's NAV. The
records relating to Bid/Ask Prices will be retained by the Fund and
its service providers.
    \22\ Under accounting procedures followed by the Fund, trades
made on the prior business day (``T'') will be booked and reflected
in NAV on the current business day (``T+1''). Accordingly, the Fund
will be able to disclose at the beginning of the business day the
portfolio that will form the basis for the NAV calculation at the
end of the business day.

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

    On a daily basis, the Fund will disclose the information required
under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(2) to the extent applicable. The
website information will be publicly available at no charge.
    In addition, a basket composition file, which includes the security
names and share quantities, if applicable, required to be delivered in
exchange for the Fund's Shares, together with estimates and actual cash
components, will be publicly disseminated daily prior to the opening of
the Exchange via the NSCC. The basket represents one Creation Unit of
the Fund. Authorized Participants may refer to the basket composition
file for information regarding financial instruments that may comprise
the Fund's basket on a given day.
    Investors can also obtain the Trust's Statement of Additional
Information (``SAI''), the Fund's Shareholder Reports, and the Fund's
Forms N-CSR and Forms N-SAR, filed twice a year. The Fund's SAI and
Shareholder Reports will be available free upon request from the Trust,
and those documents and the Form N-CSR, Form N-PX and Form N-SAR may be
viewed on-screen or downloaded from the Commission's website at
www.sec.gov.
    Intra-day and closing price information regarding futures and other
Listed Derivatives will be available from the exchange on which such
instruments are traded and from major market data vendors. Price
information regarding cash equivalents, OTC Derivatives, Short-Term
Fixed Income Securities, and Fixed Income Securities also will be
available from major market data vendors. Additionally, the Trade
Reporting and Compliance Engine (``TRACE'') of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'') will be a source of price information
for certain fixed income securities to the extent transactions in such
securities are reported to TRACE.\23\ Price information regarding U.S.
government securities and other cash equivalents generally may be
obtained from brokers and dealers who make markets in such securities
or through nationally recognized pricing services through subscription
agreements. The index price is available via Bloomberg. The index
methodology and constituent list of the Reference Benchmark is
available via ICE Data Services.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ Broker-dealers that are FINRA member firms have an
obligation to report transactions in specified debt securities to
TRACE to the extent required under applicable FINRA rules.
Generally, such debt securities will have at issuance a maturity
that exceeds one calendar year. For fixed income securities that are
not reported to TRACE, (i) intraday price quotations will generally
be available from broker-dealers and trading platforms (as
applicable) and (ii) price information will be available from feeds
from market data vendors, published or other public sources, or
online information services, as described above.
    \24\ ICE Data Services is part of the Intercontinental Exchange,
Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Information regarding market price and trading volume of the Shares
will be continually available on a real-time basis throughout the day
on brokers' computer screens and other electronic services. Information
regarding the previous day's closing price and trading volume
information for the Shares will be published daily in the financial
section of newspapers.
    Quotation and last sale information for the Shares will be
available via the Consolidated Tape Association (``CTA'') high-speed
line. Exchange-traded options quotation and last sale information for
options cleared via the Options Clearing Corporation are available via
the Options Price Reporting Authority. In addition, the Portfolio
Indicative Value (``PIV''), as defined in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(3),
will be widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors at
least every 15 seconds during the Core Trading Session.
Trading Halts
    With respect to trading halts, the Exchange may consider all
relevant factors in exercising its discretion to halt or suspend
trading in the Shares of the Fund.\25\ Trading in Shares of the Fund
will be halted if the circuit breaker parameters in NYSE Arca Rule
7.12-E have been reached. Trading also may be halted because of market
conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make
trading in the Shares inadvisable. Trading in the Fund's Shares also
will be subject to Rule 8.600-E(d)(2)(D) (``Trading Halts'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See NYSE Arca Rule 7.12-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trading Rules
    The Exchange deems the Shares to be equity securities, thus
rendering trading in the Shares subject to the Exchange's existing
rules governing the trading of equity securities. Shares will trade on
the NYSE Arca Marketplace from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m., E.T. in accordance
with NYSE Arca Rule 7.34-E (Early, Core, and Late Trading Sessions).
The Exchange has appropriate rules to facilitate transactions in the
Shares during all trading sessions. As provided in NYSE Arca Rule 7.6-
E, the minimum price variation (``MPV'') for quoting and entry of
orders in equity securities traded on the NYSE Arca Marketplace is
$0.01, with the exception of securities that are priced less than $1.00
for which the MPV for order entry is $0.0001.
    With the exception of the requirements of Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4)
(with respect to Short-Term Fixed Income Securities) and (e) (with
respect to OTC Derivatives) to Rule 8.600-E as described above in
``Application of Generic Listing Requirements,'' the Shares of the Fund
will conform to the initial and continued listing criteria under NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E. Consistent with NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(d)(2)(B)(ii),
the Adviser will implement and maintain, or be subject to, procedures
designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material non-public
information regarding the actual components of the Fund's portfolio.
The Exchange represents that, for initial and continued listing, the
Fund will be in compliance with Rule 10A-3 \26\ under the Act, as
provided by NYSE Arca Rule 5.3-E. A minimum of 100,000 Shares will be
outstanding at the commencement of trading on the Exchange. The
Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of the Shares
that the NAV per Share will be calculated daily and that the NAV and
the Disclosed Portfolio will be made available to all market
participants at the same time. The Fund's investments will be
consistent with its investment goal and will not be used to provide
multiple returns of a benchmark or to produce leveraged returns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 17 CFR 240.10A-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surveillance
    The Exchange represents that trading in the Shares will be subject
to the existing trading surveillances, administered by FINRA on behalf
of the Exchange, or by regulatory staff of the Exchange, which are
designed to detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable federal
securities laws. The Exchange represents that these procedures are
adequate to properly monitor Exchange trading of the Shares in all
trading sessions and to deter and detect violations of Exchange rules
and federal securities laws applicable to trading on the Exchange.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ FINRA conducts cross-market surveillances on behalf of the
Exchange pursuant to a regulatory services agreement. The Exchange
is responsible for FINRA's performance under this regulatory
services agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The surveillances referred to above generally focus on detecting
securities trading outside their normal patterns, which could be
indicative of manipulative or other violative activity. When such
situations are detected,

surveillance analysis follows and investigations are opened, where
appropriate, to review the behavior of all relevant parties for all
relevant trading violations.
    The Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or both, will
communicate as needed regarding trading in the Shares, futures, and
certain listed options with other markets and other entities that are
members of the ISG, and the Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the
Exchange, or both, may obtain trading information regarding trading in
such securities and financial instruments from such markets and other
entities.\28\ In addition, the Exchange may obtain information
regarding trading in such securities and financial instruments from
markets and other entities that are members of ISG or with which the
Exchange has in place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.
In addition, FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, is able to access, as
needed, trade information for certain fixed income securities held by
the Fund reported to FINRA's TRACE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ For a list of the current members of ISG, see
www.isgportal.org. The Exchange notes that not all components of the
Disclosed Portfolio may trade on markets that are members of ISG or
with which the Exchange has in place a comprehensive surveillance
sharing agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange also has a general policy prohibiting the
distribution of material, non-public information by its employees.
    All statements and representations made in this filing regarding
(a) the description of the portfolio or reference assets, (b)
limitations on portfolio holdings or reference assets, or (c) the
applicability of Exchange listing rules specified in this rule filing
shall constitute continued listing requirements for listing the Shares
of the Fund on the Exchange.
    The issuer must notify the Exchange of any failure by the Fund to
comply with the continued listing requirements, and, pursuant to its
obligations under Section 19(g)(1) of the Act, the Exchange will
monitor for compliance with the continued listing requirements. If the
Fund is not in compliance with the applicable listing requirements, the
Exchange will commence delisting procedures under NYSE Arca Rule 5.5-
E(m).
Information Bulletin
    Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform its
Equity Trading Permit Holders in an Information Bulletin (``Bulletin'')
of the special characteristics and risks associated with trading the
Shares. Specifically, the Bulletin will discuss the following: (1) The
procedures for purchases and redemptions of Shares in Creation Unit
aggregations (and that Shares are not individually redeemable); (2)
NYSE Arca Rule 9.2-E(a), which imposes a duty of due diligence on its
Equity Trading Permit Holders to learn the essential facts relating to
every customer prior to trading the Shares; (3) the risks involved in
trading the Shares during the Early and Late Trading Sessions when an
updated PIV will not be calculated or publicly disseminated; (4) how
information regarding the PIV and the Disclosed Portfolio is
disseminated; (5) the requirement that Equity Trading Permit Holders
deliver a prospectus to investors purchasing newly issued Shares prior
to or concurrently with the confirmation of a transaction; and (6)
trading information.
    In addition, the Bulletin will reference that the Fund is subject
to various fees and expenses described in the Registration Statement.
The Bulletin will discuss any exemptive, no-action, and interpretive
relief granted by the Commission from any rules under the Act. The
Bulletin will also disclose that the NAV for the Shares will be
calculated after 4:00 p.m., Eastern time each trading day.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \29\ that an exchange have rules that
are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ 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 NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E. The
Exchange has in place surveillance procedures that are adequate to
properly monitor trading in the Shares in all trading sessions and to
deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable federal
securities laws. The Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or
both, will communicate as needed regarding trading in the Shares,
futures, and certain listed options with other markets and other
entities that are members of the ISG, and the Exchange or FINRA, on
behalf of the Exchange, or both, may obtain trading information
regarding trading in such securities and financial instruments from
such markets and other entities. In addition, the Exchange may obtain
information regarding trading in such securities and financial
instruments from markets and other entities that are members of ISG or
with which the Exchange has in place a comprehensive surveillance
sharing agreement. In addition, FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, is
able to access, as needed, trade information for certain fixed income
securities held by the Fund reported to FINRA's TRACE. The Adviser is
not registered as a broker-dealer, but is affiliated with a broker-
dealer, and has implemented and will maintain a fire wall with respect
to its broker-dealer affiliate regarding access to information
concerning the composition and/or changes to the portfolio.
    The Exchange notes that, other than Commentary .01(b)(1)-(4) (with
respect to Short-Term Fixed Income Securities) and .01 (e) (with
respect to OTC Derivatives) to Rule 8.600-E, as described above, the
Fund's portfolio will meet all other requirements of Rule 8.600-E.
    The proposed rule change is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade and to protect investors and the public interest in
that the Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of the
Shares that the NAV per Share will be calculated daily and that the NAV
and the Disclosed Portfolio will be made available to all market
participants at the same time. In addition, a large amount of
information will be publicly available regarding the Fund and the
Shares, thereby promoting market transparency. Quotation and last sale
information for the Shares will be available via the CTA high-speed
line. Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform
its Equity Trading Permit Holders in an Information Bulletin of the
special characteristics and risks associated with trading the Shares.
Trading in Shares of the Fund will be halted if the circuit breaker
parameters in NYSE Arca Rule 7.12-E have been reached or because of
market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange,
make trading in the Shares inadvisable. Trading in the Shares will be
subject to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E (d)(2)(D), which sets forth
circumstances under which Shares of the Fund may be halted. In
addition, as noted above, investors will have ready access to
information regarding the Fund's holdings, NAV, the PIV, the Disclosed
Portfolio, and quotation and last sale information for the Shares.
    With respect to the Fund's proposed non-compliance with Commentary

.01(b)(1)-(4) (with respect to Short-Term Fixed Income Securities),\30\
Commentary .01(b) includes rules intended to ensure that the fixed
income securities included in a fund's portfolio are sufficiently large
and diverse and have sufficient publicly available information
regarding the issuances, and the Exchange believes that any concerns
related to non-compliance are mitigated by the types of instruments
that the Fund would hold. The Fund's Short-Term Fixed Income Securities
primarily will include those instruments that are included in the
definition of cash and cash equivalents, but are not considered cash
and cash equivalents because they have maturities of three months or
longer. Short-Term Fixed Income Securities that are cash equivalents
under Commentary .01(c) to Rule 8.600-E (that is, short-term
instruments with maturities of less than three months, as described in
Commentary .01(c)(2)) would comply with Commentary .01(c) and could be
held without limit. The Exchange believes, however, that because all
Short-Term Fixed Income Securities, including non-convertible corporate
debt securities and sovereign obligations, are high quality instruments
and are highly liquid, they are less susceptible than other types of
fixed income instruments both to price manipulation and volatility and
that the holdings as proposed are generally consistent with the policy
concerns which Commentary .01(b) is intended to address. Because of
these factors, the Exchange believes that the policy concerns that
Commentary .01(b) is intended to address are otherwise mitigated and
that the Fund should be permitted to hold these securities in a manner
that may not comply with Commentary .01(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ See note 18, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the Fund's proposed non-compliance with the
requirements set forth in Commentary .01(e) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E
(with respect to OTC Derivatives) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E,\31\
specifically the proposal that up to 60% of the Fund's assets
(calculated as the aggregate gross notional value) may be invested in
OTC Derivatives, the Adviser believes that it is important to provide
the Fund with additional flexibility to manage risk associated with its
investments. Depending on market conditions, it may be critical that
the Fund be able to utilize available OTC Derivatives to efficiently
gain exposure to the multiple commodities markets that underlie the
Reference Benchmark.\32\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \31\ See note 19, supra.
    \32\ The Commission has previously approved an exception from
requirements set forth in Commentary .01(e) relating to investments
in OTC derivatives similar to those proposed with respect to the
Fund in Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80657 (May 11, 2017), 82
FR 22702 (May 17, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-09) (Notice of Filing of
Amendment No. 2 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, Regarding
Investments of the Janus Short Duration Income ETF Listed Under NYSE
Arca Equities Rule 8.600).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OTC Derivatives can be tailored to provide specific exposure to the
Fund's Reference Benchmark, allowing the Fund to more efficiently meet
its investment objective. For example, the Reference Benchmark is
composed of 20 futures contracts across 20 physical commodities, which
may not be sufficiently liquid and would not provide the commodity
exposure the Fund requires to meet its investment objective if the Fund
were to invest in the futures directly. A total return swap can be
structured to provide exposure to the same futures contracts as exist
in the Reference Benchmark, while providing sufficient efficiency to
allow the Fund to more easily meet its investment objective.
    In addition, if the Fund were to gain commodity exposure
exclusively through the use of listed futures, the Fund's holdings in
Listed Derivatives would be subject to position limits and
accountability levels established by an exchange. Such limitations
would restrict the Fund's ability to gain efficient exposure to the
commodities in the Reference Benchmark, thereby impeding the Fund's
ability to satisfy its investment objective.
    The Adviser represents that the basket or index on which much of
the Fund's OTC Derivatives will be based will satisfy the criteria
applicable to holdings in Listed Derivatives in Commentary .01(d)(2) on
an initial and continued listing basis.\33\ With respect to the Fund's
holdings in OTC Derivatives, the aggregate gross notional value of OTC
Derivatives based on any five or fewer underlying reference assets will
not exceed 65% of the weight of the portfolio (including gross notional
exposures), and the aggregate gross notional value of OTC Derivatives
based on any single underlying reference asset will not exceed 30% of
the weight of the portfolio (including gross notional exposures).
Futures on all commodities in the Reference Benchmark are traded on
futures exchanges that are members of the ISG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ See note 20, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Adviser represents that it is in the best interests of the
Fund's shareholders for the Fund to be allowed to reduce commodities-
related risks arising from the Fund's investments using the most
efficient financial instruments. While certain risks can be hedged via
Listed Derivatives, OTC Derivatives can be customized to hedge against
precise risks. Accordingly, the Adviser believes that OTC Derivatives
may frequently be a more efficient hedging vehicle than Listed
Derivatives. Depending on market conditions, it may be critical that
the Fund be able to utilize available OTC Derivatives for this purpose
to gain exposure to the commodities in the Reference Benchmark in an
efficient manner. Therefore, the Exchange believes that increasing the
percentage limit in Commentary .01(e) (with regards to OTC
Derivatives), as described above, to the Fund's investments in OTC
Derivatives would help protect investors and the public interest.
    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
an actively-managed exchange-traded product that, through permitted use
of an increased level of OTC derivatives above that currently permitted
by the generic listing requirements of Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule
8.600-E, 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 via ISG from other exchanges that are
members of ISG or with which the Exchange has entered into a
comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. In addition, as noted
above, investors have ready access to information regarding the Fund's
holdings, the PIV, the Disclosed Portfolio, and quotation and last sale
information for the Shares.

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 type of actively-managed exchange-traded 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

    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

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

BILLING CODE 4310   70   P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 180 [ OPP   2002   0217; FRL   7298   4]

Lactic acid, ethyl ester and Lactic acid, n butyl ester; Exemptions from the Requirement of a Tolerance; Technical Correction AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of September 3, 2002, establishing tolerance exemptions for lactic acid, ethyl ester and lactic acid, nbutyl ester. In the codified text of that document, the CAS number for lactic acid, ethyl ester was incorrectly listed. This document is being issued to correct the CAS number for lactic acid, ethyl ester.

DATES: This document is effective on April 4, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathryn Boyle, Registration Division ( 7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460   0001; telephone number: 703   305   6304; e mail address: boyle. kathryn@ epa. gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. General Information A. Does this Action Apply to Me? The Agency included in the September 3, 2002 final rule a list of those who may be potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Get Copies of this Document and Other Related Information? 1. Docket. EPA has established an official public docket for this action under docket identification ( ID) number OPP   2002   0217. The official public docket consists of the documents specifically referenced in this action, any public comments received, and other information related to this action. Although a part of the official docket, the public docket does not include Confidential Business Information ( CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. The official public docket is the collection of materials that is available for public viewing at the Public Information and Records Integrity Branch ( PIRIB), Rm. 119, Crystal Mall # 2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Arlington, VA. This docket facility is open from 8: 30 a. m. to 4 p. m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The docket telephone number is ( 703) 305   5805. 2. Electronic access. You may access this Federal Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the `` Federal Register'' listings at http:// www. epa. gov/ fedrgstr/. A frequently updated electronic version of 40 CFR part 180 is available at http:// www. access. gpo. gov/ nara/ cfr/ cfrhtml_ 00/ Title_ 40/ 40cfr[ 180]_ 00. html, a beta site currently under development. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, EPA Dockets. You may use EPA Dockets at http:// www. epa. gov/ edocket/ to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the official public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, select `` search,'' then key in the appropriate docket ID number.

II. What Does this Correction Do? A tolerance exemption for lactic acid, ethyl ester was established in the Federal Register of September 3, 2002 ( 67 FR 56225) ( FRL   7196   6) ( OPP   2002   0217). In the codified text of that document, the CAS number was incorrectly listed as `` 197   64   3.'' The CAS number should have read `` 97   64   3'' as expressed in the preamble.

III. Why is this Correction Issued as a Final Rule? Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act ( APA), 5 U. S. C. 553( b)( B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a final rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making today's technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because EPA is merely correcting a typographical error. The CAS number for lactic acid, ethyl ester was correctly listed in the preamble, but erroneously listed in the codified text. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U. S. C. 553( b)( B).

IV. Do Any of the Regulatory Assessment Requirements Apply to this Action? This final rule implements a technical correction to the CFR, and it does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements. As such, the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) has determined that a technical correction is not a `` significant regulatory action'' subject to review by OMB under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review ( 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Nor does this final rule contain any information collection requirements that require review and approval by OMB pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 ( PRA) ( 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq.). Since the Agency has made a `` good cause'' finding that this action is not subject to notice and comment requirements under the APA or any other statute ( see Unit III.), this action is not subject to provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act ( RFA) ( 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ( UMRA) ( Public Law 104   4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ( UMRA) ( Public Law 104   4). This final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States or on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the national government and the States or one or more Indian tribes, or on the VerDate Dec< 13> 2002 14: 33 Apr 03, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 04APR1. SGM 04APR1 16437 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 65 / Friday, April 4, 2003 / Rules and Regulations distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the Federal government and Indian tribes. As such, this action does not have any `` federalism implications'' as described in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism ( 64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), or any `` tribal implications'' as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments ( 65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000). Since this direct final rule is not a `` significant regulatory action'' as defined by Executive Order 12866, it does not require OMB review or any Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), and is not subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use ( 66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action does not involve any technical standards that require the Agency's consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( NTTAA), Public Law 104   113, section 12( d) ( 15 U. S. C. 272 note). This action will not result in environmental justice related issues and does not, therefore, require special consideration under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations ( 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) or Executive Order 12630, entitledGovernmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights ( 53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988). In issuing this final rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988, entitled Civil Justice Reform ( 61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996).

V. Congresssional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U. S. C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U. S. Senate, the U. S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this final rule in theFederal Register. This final rule is not a `` major rule'' as defined by 5 U. S. C. 804( 2).

 Therefore, 40 CFR part 180 is corrected as follows:
