SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56211; File No. SR-ISE-2007-34]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change Relating to an Amendment to
the International Securities Exchange, LLC Constitution and Amended and
Restated LLC Agreement

August 6, 2007.

I. Introduction

    On May 8, 2007, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''
or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend the Exchange's Constitution (``ISE
Constitution'' or ``Constitution'') and Amended and Restated LLC
Agreement (``ISE LLC Agreement''). The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on June 4, 2007.\3\ The
Commission received no comments regarding the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55809 (May 23,
2007), 72 FR 30894.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Currently, the ISE Constitution requires that the President of the
Exchange and the Chief Executive Officer (``CEO'') of the Exchange be
the same person. The Constitution also

currently requires that the number of directors on the board of
directors (``Board'') of the Exchange be fixed at 15, to be comprised
of: (i) Two ``PMM Directors'' \4\; (ii) two ``CMM Directors'' \5\;
(iii) two ``EAM Directors'' \6\; (iv) eight ``Non-Industry Directors''
\7\--at least two of whom must be ``Public Directors'' \8\--and (v) the
person holding the office of President and CEO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As set forth in Article III, Section 3.2(b)(i) of the ISE
Constitution, a PMM Director is an officer, director, or partner of
a Primary Market Maker elected by a plurality of the holders of the
PMM Rights (see Article XII, Section 12.1 of the ISE Constitution)
voting together as a class.
    \5\ As set forth in Article III, Section 3.2(b)(ii) of the ISE
Constitution, a CMM Director is an officer, director, or partner of
a Competitive Market Maker elected by a plurality of the holders of
the CMM Rights (see Article XII, Section 12.2 of the ISE
Constitution) voting together as a class.
    \6\ As set forth in Article III, Section 3.2(b)(iii) of the ISE
Constitution, an EAM Director is an officer, director, or partner of
an Electronic Access Member elected by the plurality of the holders
of the EAM Rights (see Article XII, Section 12.3 of the ISE
Constitution) voting together as a class.
    \7\ As set forth in Article III, Section 3.2(b)(iii) of the ISE
Constitution, a ``Non-Industry Director'' is a director elected by
the Sole LLC Member (see infra, note 9) who meets the requirements
to be a ``non-industry representative.'' A ``non-industry
representative'' is defined in Article XIII, Section 13.1(w) as any
person that would not be considered an ``industry representative''
(see below) as well as: (i) a person affiliated with a broker or
dealer that operates solely to assist the securities-related
activities of the business of non-member affiliates, (ii) an
employee of an entity that is affiliated with a broker or dealer
that does not account for a material portion of the revenues of the
consolidated entity, and who is primarily engaged in the business of
the non-member entity.
    An ``industry representative'' is defined in Article XIII,
Section 13.1(t) as a person who is an officer, director, or employee
of a broker or dealer or who has been employed in any such capacity
at any time within the prior three years, as well as a person who
has a consulting or employment relationship with or has provided
professional services to the Exchange and a person who had any such
relationship or provided any such services to the Exchange at any
time within the prior three years.
    \8\ As set forth in Article III, Section 3.2(b)(iv) of the ISE
Constitution, a ``Public Director'' must be a ``public
representative,'' defined in Article XIII, Section 13.1(dd) as a
non-industry representative (see supra, note 7) who has no material
business relationship with a broker or dealer or the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would remove the requirement that the
President be the CEO, and amend the ISE Constitution to require that
the director position described in subparagraph (v) above be held by
the CEO. The proposal also would amend the Constitution to establish
the number of directors at no less than 15 and no more than 16.
    In conjunction with these changes, Sole LLC Member,\9\ in its sole
and absolute discretion, would be able to elect one additional director
(``Former Employee Director'') who was employed by the Exchange at any
time during the three-year period prior to his or her initial election
but otherwise meets the definition of a Non-Industry Director under the
Exchange's Constitution.\10\ The proposed rule change also would make
conforming amendments to the ISE LLC Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ As set forth in Article I, Section 1.1 of the ISE
Constitution, the ISE is a single member limited liability company
with one limited liability company interest currently authorized
(the ``LLC Interest''). The holder of the LLC interest is
International Securities Exchange Holdings, Inc., which may assign
the LLC Interest as provided in the LLC Agreement (the ``Sole LLC
Member'').
    \10\ The term of a Former Employee Director would expire at the
annual meeting of holders of Exchange Rights and the Sole LLC Member
held in the second year following the year of his or her election.
(Regarding Exchange Rights, see Article I, Section 1.2 of the ISE
Constitution and Article VI of the ISE LLC Agreement.) A Former
Employee Director would not be permitted to serve on the Board for
more than three consecutive terms, but would be eligible for
election as a director following a two-year hiatus from service on
the Board, provided that he or she meets the relevant requirements.
See proposed new Section 3.2(e)(iv) to Article III of the ISE
Constitution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Exchange, the proposed modifications to its
governance structure would provide it with the flexibility to structure
its board of directors in a way that would enable the ISE to attract
and keep talented individuals.

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.
Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with section 6(b)(1) of the Act,\11\ which requires, among
other things, that an exchange be so organized and have the capacity to
be able to carry out the purposes of the Act; and with section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\12\ which requires, among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be 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 a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \13\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the additional member that the Sole LLC
Member would be permitted to elect to the Board, aside from having been
an Exchange employee within the prior three years, otherwise would be
required to meet the qualifications of a Non-Industry Director. Thus,
the Former Employee Director could not be a person who is an officer,
director, or employee of a broker or dealer or who has been employed in
any such capacity at any time within the prior three years. Further,
the Commission notes that, under the proposed rule change, the ISE
Constitution would continue to provide that eight of the members of the
Exchange's board of directors--out of a maximum total of 16 members--
must be non-industry representatives. The Commission believes that this
proposed balance with respect to the composition of the Exchange's
Board is consistent with other self-regulatory organization governance
structures that were approved by the Commission.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54494
(September 25, 2006), 71 FR 58023 (October 2, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\15\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ISE-2007-34) be, and hereby
is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\16\

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2012-1139; Airspace Docket No. 12-AGL-12]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Worthington, MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Worthington, MN.
Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate new Area
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures at
Worthington Municipal Airport. This action enhances the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.
Geographic coordinates of the airport are also updated.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, October 17, 2013. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone 817-321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 26, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the
Worthington, MN, area, creating additional controlled airspace at
Worthington Municipal Airport (78 FR 18263) Docket No. FAA-2012-1139.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective
September 15, 2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to ensure that required controlled airspace exists
from the current 7-mile radius of the airport to 11.6 miles north and
11.1 miles south of the airport to contain aircraft executing new
standard instrument approach procedures at Worthington Municipal
Airport, Worthington, MN. This action enhances the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates of
the airport are updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (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 only affects
air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this
rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 amends controlled airspace at Worthington Municipal Airport,
Worthington, MN.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 70

[EPA-R08-OAR-2020-0722; FRL-10019-26-Region 8]

Proposed Full Approval of Revised Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; North Dakota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the ``Agency'') is
proposing full approval of the revised and recodified North Dakota
operating permit program for stationary sources subject to title V of
the Clean Air Act (CAA or the ``Act''). On August 6, 2018, North Dakota
submitted a request for approval of its revisions to the North Dakota
operating permit program (the ``title V program'') for stationary
sources subject to title V of the CAA and recodification of the State's
title V program under a new title of the North Dakota Administrative
Code (NDAC). The EPA determined that the revised and recodified program
substantially met the requirements of title V of the Act and Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) but was not fully approvable because the
State law provisions for judicial review were not consistent with
program requirements found in the CFR. Thus, EPA issued an interim
approval of North Dakota's title V program. North Dakota has made the
changes required for full program approval. Accordingly, the EPA is
proposing this action in accordance with the CAA and CFR title V
program approval requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
    Proposed Action: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this
issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is publishing a direct final
rule without prior proposal to amend 40 CFR part 70 to reflect the full
final approval of the North Dakota title V program. The EPA views this
as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the action is set forth in the preamble to the
direct final rule. If the EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA
contemplates no further action. If the EPA receives adverse comments,
EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. For
additional information, see the direct final rule of

the same title which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this issue of the Federal Register.
