Proposed Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Hickory and
Morganton, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace and Class E
surface airspace for Hickory Regional Airport, Hickory, NC, as runways

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority,
as it would amend airspace in Hickory and Morganton, NC, to support IFR
operations in the area.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide a factual basis supporting the views
and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (Docket No. FAA-
2021-1232 and Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-19) and be submitted in
triplicate to DOT Docket Operations (see ADDRESSES section for the
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at www.regulations.gov.
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on
this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to FAA
Docket No. FAA-2021-1232; Airspace Docket No. 22-ASO-19.'' The postcard
will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this document may be changed in light of the
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket before and after the comment closing
date. A report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA
personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at
www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined between 8:00 a.m. and

office of the Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration,
Room 350, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 30337.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D
airspace and Class E surface airspace for Hickory Regional Airport,
Hickory, NC, as runways one and nineteen have been permanently closed.
In addition, this action would replace the outdated terms Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement and Notice to Airmen
with the term Notice to Air Missions in the appropriate airspace
descriptions.
    This action would also amend Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for Foothills Regional Airport (formerly
Morganton-Lenoir Airport), Morganton, NC, by updating the airport's
name and geographic coordinates, as well as removing Grace Hospital
Heliport from the description, as the heliport no longer has instrument
approaches. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated
August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace
designations listed in this document will subsequently be published in
FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA has developed this guidance document to assist industry in
preparing a Premarket Notification (510(k)) for a pulse oximeter. The
device is intended for non-invasive measurement of SpO2 and
pulse rate. In the Federal Register of July 19, 2007 (72 FR 39631), FDA
announced the availability of the draft guidance document. Interested
persons were invited to comment by October 17, 2007. Two sets of
comments were received with recommendations related to organization,
terminology, references to standards, labeling, test recommendations,
and data analysis. In response, FDA revised the guidance document to
address the comments and clarify our recommendations as appropriate.
This document supersedes the guidance document ``Non-Invasive Pulse
Oximeter General Guidance Document,'' dated September 7, 1992.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
Agency's current thinking on non-invasive pulse oximeters intended for
prescription use to measure SpO2 and pulse rate. It does not
create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate
to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such
approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and
regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by
using the Internet. A search capability for all CDRH guidance documents
is available at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. Guidance
documents are also available at http://www.regulations.gov. To receive

may either send an email request to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to receive an
electronic copy of the document or send a fax request to<PHONE_NUMBER>
to receive a hard copy. Please use the document number 1605 to identify
the guidance you are requesting.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 807, subpart E, have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0120; and the collections of
information in 21 CFR part 801 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0485; the collections of information in 21 CFR part 812
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0078; the collections
of information in 21 CFR 56.115 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0130.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79562; File No. SR-ISEGemini-2016-20]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ISE Gemini, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Remove Direct
Debit for Market Data Products

December 15, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 1, 2016, ISE Gemini, LLC (``ISE Gemini'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to remove direct debit for market data
products, as described in more detail below.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at www.ise.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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to remove direct debit
for market data products. Today, the Exchange requires all of its
members to provide a clearing account number at the National Securities
Clearing Corporation (``NSCC'') for purposes of permitting the Exchange
to debit any undisputed or final fees, fines, charges and/or other
monetary sanctions or monies due and owing to the Exchange.\3\
Specifically, Rule 209 currently requires members, and all applicants
for registration as such to provide a clearing account number for an
account at NSCC for purposes of permitting the Exchange to debit any
undisputed or final fees,\4\ fines, charges and/or other monetary
sanctions or monies due and owing to the Exchange \5\ or other charges
related to Rules 205 and 206.\6\ The proposed amendment would exclude
from Rule 209 the fees set forth in Chapter V (Market Data) of the
Exchange's Schedule of Fees \7\ to harmonize the direct debit process
across all Nasdaq Exchanges.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79013 (September 30,
2016), 81 FR 69556 (October 6, 2016) (SR-ISEGemini-2016-12).
    \4\ Exchange fees are noted on the Exchange Schedule of Fees,
available at: http://www.ise.com/geminifees.
    \5\ This includes, among other things, fines which result from
the imposition of fines pursuant to Rules 1611, Judgment and
Sanction; and 1614, Imposition of Fines for Minor Rules Violations.
With respect to disciplinary sanctions that are imposed by either
the Business Conduct Committee or a Hearing Panel, the Exchange
would not debit any monies until such action is final. The Exchange
would not consider an action final until all appeal periods have run
and/or all appeal timeframes are exhausted. With respect to non-
disciplinary actions, the Exchange would similarly not take action
to debit a Member account until all appeal periods have run and/or
all appeal timeframes are exhausted. Any uncontested disciplinary or
non-disciplinary actions will be debited, and the amount due will
appear on the Member's invoice prior to the actual NSCC debit.
    \6\ See ISE Gemini Rules 205 (Participant Fees) and 206
(Liability for Payment of Fees).
    \7\ See note 4.
    \8\ The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, The NASDAQ Options Market LLC,
NASDAQ PHLX LLC, and NASDAQ BX, Inc. (the ``Nasdaq Exchanges'') do
not direct debit any fees for market data products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes that this rule change become operative on
December 1, 2016. On November 23, 2016, the Exchange applied direct
debit to its members for October 2016 billing \9\ pursuant to the
process currently in place. Under the proposed amendment and starting
December 2016, the Exchange will bill the market data fees separately
and will continue to direct debit its members for all of the other fees
that are covered under Rule 209, in each case for the previous month's
billing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The debit for October 2016 billing included all outstanding
fees, including the fees for market data, through October 1, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general to
protect investors and the public interest by providing members with a
harmonized process to pay undisputed or final fees, fines, charges and/
or monetary sanctions or monies due and owing to the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange believes that its proposal to remove the fees for
market data products from the direct debit process is reasonable
because it will not place any administrative burden on its members who
are already subject to the same billing process on all other Nasdaq
exchanges.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See NASDAQ Phlx LLC Rule 909, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
Rule 7007, NASDAQ Options Market LLC Rules at Chapter XV, Section 1,
NASDAQ BX, Inc. Rule 7011 and BX Option Rules at Chapter XV, Section
1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that its proposal to remove the market data
fees as described above from the direct debit process is equitable and
not unfairly discriminatory because it will apply to all members in a
uniform manner.

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. With this proposal, the
amended debit process would apply uniformly to all ISE Gemini members.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \13\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Commission deems this requirement to have been met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \15\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. In its filing with the Commission,
the Exchange requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay. The Exchange proposes that the new billing process become
operative on December 1, 2016. Starting December 1, 2016, the Exchange
will bill the market data fees separately and will continue to direct
debit its members for all of the other fees that are covered under Rule
213, in each case for the previous month's billing. The Exchange
represents that waiver of the 30-day operative delay would allow it to
conform its billing process similar to the process in place at the
Nasdaq exchanges.\16\ The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposed rule
change operative upon filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \16\ See NASDAQ Phlx LLC Rule 909, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
Rule 7007, NASDAQ Options Market LLC Rules at Chapter XV, Section 1,
NASDAQ BX, Inc. Rule 7011 and BX Option Rules at Chapter XV, Section
1.
    \17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
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 the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (``FINRA'') for purposes
of an agreement between the Exchange and FINRA pursuant to Rule 17d-2

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant 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 adopt new Rule 12.14, Front Running of
Block Transactions, which would require that Members and persons
associated with a Member shall comply with FINRA Rule 5270 as if such
Rule were part of the Exchange's Rules.\5\ FINRA Rule 5270 states that
no FINRA member or person associated with a member shall cause to be
executed an order to buy or sell a security or a related financial
instrument \6\ when such member or person associated with a member has
material, non-public market information concerning an imminent block
transaction \7\ in that security, a related financial instrument or a
security

underlying the related financial instrument.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The proposed rule text is substantially the same as IM-2110-
3 of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq''), which has been
approved by the Commission. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
53128 (January 13, 2006), 71 FR 3550 (January 23, 2006) (order
approving Nasdaq's application for registration as a national
securities exchange). See also Securities Exchange Act Release No.
58069 (June 30, 2008), 73 FR 39360 (July 9, 2008) (SR-Nasdaq-2008-
054) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness). Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 34-67774 (September 4, 2012), 77 FR 55519
(September 12 [sic], 2012) (Approval Order). See also supra note 4.
    \6\ FINRA Rule 5270 defines the term ``related financial
instrument'' as ``any option, derivative, security-based swap, or
other financial instrument overlying a security, the value of which
is materially related to, or otherwise acts as a substitute for,
such security, as well as any contract that is the functional
economic equivalent of a position in such security.''
    \7\ Under FINRA Rule 5270, a transaction involving 10,000 shares
or more of a security, an underlying security, or a related
financial instrument overlying such number of shares, is generally
deemed to be a block transaction, although a transaction of fewer
than 10,000 shares could be considered a block transaction. A block
transaction that has been agreed upon does not lose its identity as
such by arranging for partial executions of the full transaction in
portions which themselves are not of block size if the execution of
the full transaction may have a material impact on the market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA Rule 5270 includes exceptions to the general prohibitions of
the rule where a member can demonstrate that a transaction is unrelated
to the material, non-public market information received in connection
with the customer order. The Supplementary Material to FINRA Rule 5270
includes an illustrative list of potentially permitted transactions as
examples of transactions that, depending upon the circumstances, may be
unrelated to the customer block order. These types of transactions may
include: Where the member has information barriers established to
prevent internal disclosure of such information; actions [sic] in the
same security related to a prior customer order in that security;
transactions to correct bona fide errors; or transactions to offset
odd-lot orders.
    In addition, Rule 5270 does not preclude transactions undertaken
for the purpose of fulfilling, or facilitating the execution of, the
customer block order. However, when engaging in trading activity that
could affect the market for the security that is the subject of the
customer block order, the member must minimize any potential
disadvantage or harm in the execution of the customer's order, must not
place the member's financial interests ahead of those of its customer,
and must obtain the customer's consent to such trading activity. A
member may obtain its customers' consent through affirmative written
consent or through the use of a negative consent letter. The negative
consent letter must clearly disclose to the customer the terms and
conditions for handling the customer's orders; if the customer does not
object, then the member may reasonably conclude that the customer has
consented and the member may rely on such letter for all or a portion
of the customer's orders. In addition, a member may provide clear and
comprehensive oral disclosure to and obtain consent from the customer
on an order-by-order basis, provided that the member documents who
provided such consent and such consent evidences the customer's
understanding of the terms and conditions for handling the customer's
order.
    The Exchange also proposes to state in new Rule 12.14 that although
the prohibitions in Rule 5270 are limited to imminent block
transactions, the front running of other types of orders that place the
financial interests of the Member or persons associated with a Member
ahead of those of its customer or the misuse of knowledge of an
imminent customer order may violate other Exchange rules, including
Rule 3.1 and Rule 12.6, or provisions of the federal securities laws.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ which requires, among other things,
that the Exchange's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system. By incorporating FINRA Rule 5270,
new Rule 12.14 prohibits front running trading activity that the
Exchange believes is inconsistent with just and equitable principles of
trade while also ensuring that Members may continue to engage in
transactions that do not present the risk of abusive trading practices
that the rule is intended to prevent. The Exchange believes that Rule
12.14 would enhance the protection of customer orders by addressing
various types of abusive trading that may be intended to take advantage
of customer orders. As previously noted, the proposed rule text is
substantially similar to Nasdaq's IM-2110-3, which has been approved by
the Commission,\9\ as well as EDGA Rule 12.14 and EDGX Rule 12.14,
which have been previously published by the Commission.\10\ By adopting
Rule 12.14, the Exchange believes that imminent customer block orders
would be better protected and that the proposed rule change will
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, promote just
and equitable principles of trade, and better protect investors and the
public interest.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is
not designed to address any competitive issues but rather is designed
to enable the Exchange to better protect imminent customer block
orders, as well as to provide greater harmonization among Exchange and
FINRA rules, resulting in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory
compliance for common members.

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

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

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\14\

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \15\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\16\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
argues that waiver of the operative delay would enable it to enhance
its rules protecting customer orders in a timely manner by explicitly
prohibiting Members from trading ahead of block

transaction in violation of proposed Rule 12.14 during what would be
the operative delay period.\17\ The Exchange also represents that
waiver of the operative delay would allow it to promptly incorporate
Rule 12.14 into the 17d-2 Agreement, further reducing duplicative
regulation of Exchange Members that are also members of FINRA. In
addition, the Exchange states that waiving the operative delay would
provide greater harmonization among Exchange, EDGA, EDGX, and FINRA
rules, resulting in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory
compliance for Members and facilitating FINRA's performance of its
regulatory functions under the 17d-2 Agreement in a timelier manner.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission believes that waiver of the
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Accordingly, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon filing.\18\

its Members that it will implement the proposed rule change on March
23, 2015, a date that was determined based upon the effective date
of a prior version of this filing. See BZX and BYX Regulatory
Circular 15-003, Front Running of Block Transactions, dated February
24, 2015.
    \18\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
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 the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Federal Aviation Administration

Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Indianapolis Executive Airport, Zionsville, IN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property.
The 21.508 acres of land, known as Parcel A on the airports Exhibit A
Property Map, is situated southeast of the airport. The land was
obligated under FAA Project No(s). 3-18-0103-06. There are no impacts
to the airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property. The
land was previously acquired for approach protection under a larger
parcel of land purchased from Ms. Lela Covert (listed as Parcel 3 in
the current Exhibit A Property Map and Parcel 7 under previous Exhibit
A Property Maps). These 21.508 acres of the larger parcel are not
needed for approach protection or future airport development. Approval
does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in
the disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of
proceeds from the disposal of the airport property will be in
accordance FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport
Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
    In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65873; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2011-164]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Correct NOM Rules

 December 2, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on November 29, 2011, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the
``Exchange'' or ``NASDAQ'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    NASDAQ is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a proposal for the NASDAQ Options Market (``NOM'') to
eliminate from its rules two order types and two data feeds that are
not in place. Specifically, NASDAQ proposes to delete Chapter VI,
Sections 1(e)(1) and (4), 7(b)(3)(A), and 10(1)(B) and (C) to delete
Reserve Orders and Discretionary Orders from its rules. Secondly,
NASDAQ proposes to amend Chapter VI, Trading Systems, Section 1(a)(3),
in order to eliminate from its rules NASDAQ Options Depth at Price and
NASDAQ Options Net Order Imbalance, two data feeds.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/TraderNews.aspx?id=dtn2011-002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com/, at NASDAQ's principal office, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to make corrections to
NOM rules that are needed as a result of transitioning to a new system.
NOM recently completed the rollout of enhancements to its trading
system; the deletions proposed herein have already been implemented.
    First, NASDAQ proposes to eliminate two order types from its rules.
Specifically, NASDAQ proposes to amend Chapter VI, Section 1(e)(1) and
(4), to delete Reserve Orders and Discretionary Orders from its rules.
These order types are also proposed to be deleted from Chapter VI,
Section 6(a)(2), Section 7(b)(3)(A), and Section 10(1)(B) and (C).\4\
Reserve Orders are limit orders that have both a displayed

size as well as an additional non-displayed amount. Both the displayed
and non-displayed portions of a Reserve Order are available for
potential execution against incoming orders. If the displayed portion
of a Reserve Order is fully executed, the System will replenish the
display portion from reserve up to the size of the original display
amount. A new timestamp is created for the replenished portion of the
order each time it is replenished from reserve, while the reserve
portion retains the time-stamp of its original entry. Although Reserve
Orders were available on NOM, they were rarely used; accordingly, when
rolling out new trading enhancements, NASDAQ determined not to make the
technical changes necessary to accommodate them; Reserve Orders have
not been available on NOM since September 28, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Because the deletion of subparagraphs (B) and (C) would
leave the last sentence in paragraph (1) with a list consisting of
one item (that is, subparagraph (A)), NASDAQ proposes to finish that
sentence by stating that within each price level, trading interest
will be executed in time priority; this is not a change to the
system but rather a clarification of that sentence. The words
``orders that are displayed within the System'' in paragraph (A) are
no longer needed because all orders are displayed now that NASDAQ
will no longer have Reserve and Discretionary Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Discretionary Orders are orders that have a displayed price and
size, as well as a non-displayed discretionary price range, at which
the entering party, if necessary, is also willing to buy or sell. The
non-displayed trading interest is not entered into the System book but
is, along with the displayed size, converted to an IOC buy (sell) order
priced at the highest (lowest) price in the discretionary price range
when displayed contracts become available on the opposite side of the
market or an execution takes place at any price within the
discretionary price range. The generation of this IOC order is
triggered by the automatic cancellation of the displayed contracts
portion of the Discretionary Order. If more than one Discretionary
Order is available for conversion to an IOC order, the system will
convert and process all such orders in the same priority in which such
Discretionary Orders were entered. If an IOC order is not executed in
full, the unexecuted portion of the order is automatically re-posted
and displayed in the System book with a new time stamp, at its original
displayed price, and with its non-displayed discretionary price range.
Although the Exchange received approval for the Discretionary Order
type when NOM was launched, it was not made available due to lack of
participant interest. For this reason, NASDAQ has determined not to
offer it going forward and, accordingly, did not make the necessary
technical changes to accommodate this order type when implementing its
trading enhancements.
    Second, NASDAQ proposes to delete two NOM data feeds from its
rules, NASDAQ Options Depth at Price (``DAP'') and NASDAQ Options Net
Order Imbalance (``NOIView''). DAP provides aggregate quotation
information for each price level of trading interest on the NOM book,
last sale data for trades executed on NOM, and order imbalance
information. It is described in Chapter VI, Section 1(a)(3)(C) of NOM
Rules and is available without charge.\5\ In adopting this rule, the
Exchange stated that:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63983 (February 25,
2011), 76 FR 12178 (SR-NASDAQ-2011-032).

* * * NASDAQ is making a voluntary decision to make this data
available. NASDAQ is not required by the Exchange Act in the first
instance to make the data available, unlike the best bid and offer
which must be made available under the Act. NASDAQ chooses to make
the data available as proposed in order to improve market quality,
to attract order flow, and to increase transparency. Once this
filing becomes effective, NASDAQ will be required to continue making
the data available until such time as NASDAQ changes its rule.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See id. at 12179.

    The Exchange retired DAP because few participants subscribed to it
and its content is available on another data feed, ITTO; a fee is
charged for ITTO.
    Similarly, NASDAQ also retired NOIView. NOIView provides order
imbalance information, which is also available on ITTO. NOIView is
described in Chapter VI, Section 1(a)(3)(D).
    At this time, NASDAQ is filing this proposed rule change to reflect
its decision to retire these data feeds and to eliminate them from its
rules. Although NASDAQ notified subscribers, NASDAQ retired the feeds
prior to the submission of this filing, as part of a rollout of new
trading system enhancements. Once an option was switched over to the
new system, DAP and NOIView were no longer available for that option.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \8\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, and to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest, because the data is available on
other data feeds, albeit for a fee, and the Reserve Order and the
Discretionary Order types were not used or rarely used, such that the
Exchange does not believe that this elimination will negatively impact
market quality. The Exchange is not required to make these features
available and made a decision to eliminate them, which the Exchange
believes is consistent with promoting just and equitable principles of
trade as well as protecting investors and the public interest.

    \8\ 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 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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\
thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
