14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 31336; Amdt. No. 555]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, November 5, 2020.

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

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

The Rule

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

Conclusion

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

Introduction
Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the control of the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from both new and existing major sources in a source category.  These standards must reflect the maximum degree of reduction in HAP emissions that is achievable.  The minimum level of control is referred to as the "Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) floor."  The method for determining the MACT floor for a NESHAP is defined for both new and existing sources in CAA section 112(d)(3).  For new sources, the MACT floor cannot be less stringent than the emission control that is achieved in practice by the best-controlled similar source.  For existing sources, the MACT floor cannot be less stringent than the average emission limitation achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of existing sources for source categories with 30 or more sources, or the best-performing five sources for source categories with fewer than 30 sources.
The purpose of this memorandum is to present the data, methodology, and results of the MACT floor analysis for the Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing NESHAP, 40 CFR 63, Subpart NNN source category. This analysis is part of EPA's obligation under CAA section 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) to conduct a residual risk and technology review.  The MACT floor analysis is also being performed in response to a petition for rulemaking by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club that states EPA failed to set emission limits for HAPs (phenol and methanol) emitted by wool fiberglass facilities and challenges some HAP surrogacies used in the current wool fiberglass NESHAP. This MACT floor analysis uses data collected from a nationwide voluntary survey of wool fiberglass manufacturers conducted by EPA in 2010 and an Information Collection Request (ICR) sent out to the wool fiberglass industry in November 2011.  Data on process operations, emission controls, and air emissions data reported by respondents to the survey and ICR were compiled into a Microsoft Access data base that serves as the data set used for this MACT floor analysis (referred to in this memorandum as the "ICR data set").

On November 25, 2011 EPA proposed revisions to the Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing NESHAP, 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN.  This memorandum incorporates changes made since the November 2011 proposal to reflect public comments regarding facility information and emissions data.

Background Information
The current Wool Fiberglass Production NESHAP (subpart NNN) was promulgated on June 14, 1999 and applies to each of the following existing and newly constructed major sources located at a wool fiberglass manufacturing facility: glass-melting furnaces, rotary spin (RS) manufacturing lines that produce bonded building insulation, and flame attenuation (FA) manufacturing lines producing bonded pipe insulation. The current rule also applies to new FA manufacturing lines producing bonded heavy-density and pipe products.  Currently, subpart NNN defines "bonded" as wool fiberglass to which a phenol-formaldehyde binder has been applied. The use of these types of HAP binders results in formaldehyde, phenol, and methanol emissions from sources at bonded RS and FA lines which generally consist of forming, curing, and collection operations.  RS and FA manufacturing lines that produce nonbonded products are not currently subject to the standards.   The 1999 Wool Fiberglass Production NESHAP (subpart NNN) sets particulate matter (PM) emission limits for new and existing furnaces and sets formaldehyde limits for new and existing RS lines and for new FA manufacturing lines.  The original NESHAP also uses the surrogate approach, where PM serves as a surrogate for HAP metals and formaldehyde serves as a surrogate for organic HAP.

The wool fiberglass manufacturing source category currently consists of 30 facilities operating in the United States; 10 of these facilities are major sources and operate 29 glass-melting furnaces. The remaining 20 facilities are listed as area sources or synthetic minors. The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) announced that by the end of 2012, they predict no major sources subject to Subpart NNN will exist in this source category (see docket items 0040 and 0052) by phasing out the use of phenol-formaldehyde binders. Once a facility has phased out its use of these HAP binders on bonded lines, it may apply to the appropriate permitting authority to no longer be subject to the MACT Subpart NNN standard under two definitions of the MACT rule: the applicability definition and the definition of `bonded'.

The specific chemicals, compounds, or groups of compounds designated as HAP are listed in CAA section 112(b). From this list, chromium compounds, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) were identified as being emitted from furnaces; and formaldehyde, phenol, and methanol were identified as being emitted from bonded FA and RS lines.  In the November 2011 proposal, EPA set MACT floor limits for HF and HCl. The Agency received comments on the proposed HF and HCl emission limits and upon reexamination of our analysis of the acid gas test data, we found that up to 80 percent of the HF and HCl test data in the floor were below detection limit (BDL) of the required test method. Based on this information, EPA has decided to set work practice standards for HF and HCl instead of MACT floor emission limits under section 112(h) of the CAA. The 2011 proposal also set emission limits for chromium compounds based on both section 112(d)(6) technology review and 112(f)(2) residual risk ample margin of safety. The Agency is not revising the chromium emission limit in the 2011 proposal, but is correcting the basis for proposed limit being technology review (and not a calculated MACT floor). Details regarding chromium compound emission limits and particulate matter (PM) limits for glass-melting furnaces are discussed in the Section 112(d)(6) Technology Review for Wool Fiberglass NESHAP memorandum and in the Draft Risk Report for the Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing RTR available in the docket for this rulemaking (docket # EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-1042). With regards to formaldehyde, phenol, and methanol at RS and FA bonded lines, EPA proposed to remove the surrogacy relationship in the rule and establish limits for phenol and methanol and correct the formaldehyde limit based on data submitted by the industry in their voluntary information collection effort of 2010. After the 2011 proposal, EPA received information from industry clarifying that the proposed limits for formaldehyde, phenol and methanol were based on a data set which included test data for lines that had phased out use of phenol/formaldehyde binders and were therefore no longer subject to the rule. The Agency removed the erroneous data from the dataset and recalculated the MACT floor for RS lines based on the bonded lines at major sources and synthetic minor sources. The limits in the supplemental proposal for RS lines differ from the proposed limits due to the removal of erroneous data from the data set used to calculate the MACT floor.
MACT Floor Analysis - Subcategories
Under CAA section 112(d)(1), EPA has the discretion to "...distinguish among classes, types, and sizes of sources within a category or subcategory in establishing..." standards.  When separate subcategories are established, a MACT floor is determined separately for each subcategory.  To determine whether the wool fiberglass manufacturing facilities warrant subcategorization for the MACT floor analysis, EPA reviewed unit and process designs, operating information, and air emissions data compiled in the ICR data set and other information collected by the Agency for development of the NESHAP for this source category. The EPA also analyzed several subcategorization recommendations submitted by industry in their public comments on the proposed rule (76 FR 72770, November 25, 2011). Based on this review, EPA concluded that sufficient information exists to continue subcategorization of bonded lines into both FA and RS lines, but that beyond this level, there are no significant design or operational differences at wool fiberglass facilities that warrant further subcategorization. Specifically, the original/current wool fiberglass NESHAP (subpart NNN) contains separate emission limits for FA manufacturing lines that produce heavy-density wool fiberglass and FA manufacturing lines that produce pipe product wool fiberglass. According to recent industry information, there is only one company that runs FA lines at their facilities. These facilities provided test data in response to the voluntary survey that was to represent all FA lines. The EPA received data for three  FA lines that were running heavy-density product and no data on FA lines that were running pipe products. In their May 5, 2010 letter to EPA (see Docket EPA-OAR-HQ-2010-1042), industry stated that the testing at pot & marble flame attenuated (FA) process units was representative of all products made on FA lines based on the following: "all re-melt borosilicate glass marbles; all are pot & marble flame attenuation; and all are operated by Johns Manville."  The letter also stated that Johns Manville is the only NAIMA member with a pot & marble melting process and the FA process is "a completely different process than rotary (spin) and was subcategorized in the original MACT standard." We therefore concluded that the limits developed for FA lines were representative of all products made on FA lines and that further subcategorization was no longer supportable under the standard. We proposed only limits for FA lines without regard to further subcategorization, and all products made on an FA line using phenol/formaldehyde binders would be subject to those limits.  Although we received comment suggesting subcategorization of up to four subcategories on FA lines, we received no additional test data from industry to support further subcategorization beyond the general FA line subcategory.  Consequently, we propose limits for FA lines such that all products made on an FA line using phenol/formaldehyde binders are subject to the proposed emission limits.
MACT Floor Analysis Methodology
Existing Sources
A MACT floor analysis was completed for formaldehyde, phenol, and methanol emissions from RS and FA lines. The majority of the data (e.g., production and equipment throughput rates) used to calculate the MACT floors was submitted as confidential business information (CBI) and therefore, the data and calculations are not publicly available (and not included in this memorandum).

The first step in the MACT floor analysis for each regulated source and HAP was to array all the data and rank each unit (for which emissions data was provided) by emission level (lowest to highest) for each pollutant.  From this ranking, a MACT floor pool of sources was identified for determining the minimum control level allowed for the MACT floor, consistent with the criteria defined for new and existing sources by CAA section 112(d)(3).  For the new source MACT floors, the best-controlled source was identified for which there were individual source test run data in the ICR data set.  For the existing source MACT floors, selection of the MACT floor pool size (i.e., number of emission units to be included in the determination of the average emission limitation value) was determined on an individual unit category basis as described below.
      Bonded RS Manufacturing Lines.  There are less than 30 RS lines located at the 10 major sources; therefore the top 5 best performing RS lines for which emission test data was provided were used in calculating the MACT floor for formaldehyde, phenol, and methanol. For new sources, the best performing source was used to calculate the MACT floor for each pollutant.
      Bonded FA Manufacturing Lines.  This category includes less than 30 sources and emission test data was submitted for three FA lines. Therefore, all of these three FA lines were used to calculate formaldehyde, phenol, and methanol limits for existing sources. For new sources, the best performing source was used to calculate the MACT floor for each pollutant.
The next step in the MACT floor analysis was to account for data variability in the calculations of the applicable MACT floor limits for the subcategories using the data's 99% upper prediction limit (UPL).  Specifically, the MACT floor limit was determined as the UPL calculated with the Student's t-test using the "TINV" function in Microsoft Excel software.  The UPL approach has also been used in other EPA rulemakings (e.g., NESHAP for Portland Cement, NSPS for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators, NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters, and NESHAP for Electric Generating Units) to account for variability in emissions data for a specified level of confidence.  The level of confidence represents the level of protection afforded to facilities whose emissions are in line with the best performers.  For example, a 99% level of confidence means that a facility whose emissions are consistent with the best performers has one chance in 100 of exceeding the floor limit.  A prediction interval for a single future observation (or an average of several test observations) is an interval that will, with a specified degree of confidence, contain the next (or the average of some other pre-specified number) of randomly selected observation(s) from a population.  In other words, the upper prediction limit estimates what the upper bound of future values will be, based upon present or past background samples taken.  The UPL consequently represents the value at which we can expect the mean of future observations for the HAP emissions to fall within a specified level of confidence, based upon the results of an independent sample from the same population.  This method accounts for the point-to-point variability in the data.
The form of the UPL equation differs somewhat depending upon the number of data points and data distribution to which it is applied. Attachment A includes a flow diagram that summarizes the UPL approaches used. To this end, the data sets were evaluated for each HAP to ascertain whether the data were normally distributed, or fit another type of distribution (e.g., log normal distribution).  According to the Central Limit Theorem (Durrett, 1996), when a data set includes 15 or more sources, the UPL is based on the assumption that the data fit a normal distribution.  The Central Limit Theorem states that regardless of the shape of the original distribution, if the distribution has a finite mean (μ) and variance (σ²), the sampling distribution of the mean approaches a normal distribution with a mean of (μ) and a variance of σ²/N as N, the sample size, increases (Durrett, 1996).
The wool fiberglass data sets used to calculate MACT floors varied for each pollutant. When the sample size is smaller than 15 and the distribution of the data is unknown, the Central Limit Theorem cannot be used to support the normality assumption.  Statistical test of the kurtosis and skewness are then used to evaluate the normality assumption.  The skewness statistic (S) characterizes the degree of asymmetry of a given data distribution.  Normally distributed data have an S value of 0.  An S value that is greater (less) than 0 indicates that the data are asymmetrically distributed with a right (left) tail extending towards positive (negative) values.  The standard error of the skewness statistic (SES) was also used in determining the normality of the data distribution.  The kurtosis statistic (K) characterizes the degree of peakedness or flatness of a given data distribution in comparison to a normal distribution.  Normally distributed data have a K value of 0.  A K value that is greater (less) than 0 indicates a relatively peaked (flat) distribution.  The standard error of the kurtosis statistic (SEK) was also used in determining the normality of the data distribution.
For each data set to which the UPL was applied (i.e., the separate data sets for each HAP applicable to a source), the S and K values were calculated using the reported test values.  If both kurtosis and skewness tests indicate the data is normally distributed, the UPL was calculated using the UPL pooled variance Equation 1.

                     UPL= XT+ t(p,df)xs21n+1m  		Equation 1

where:

	XT 	=  the average (mean) of the best performing existing sources;
	t(p,df) 	=  the t statistic for a confidence level p, and df degrees of freedom;
	s[2]	=  the pooled variance;
	n	=  the total number of test runs (all sources) used in the analysis; and
	m	=  the number of (future) compliance test runs [for run-by-run data, m=3].

      Degrees of freedom calculated by:
      							    Equation 1a

      Mean calculated by:
                                                                                Equation 1b

      Pooled variance calculated by:
                                                           		    Equation 1c

If the kurtosis or skewness tests indicate the data was not normally distributed, the data were log-transformed. Once the logs of all the test runs were calculated, new kurtosis and skewness tests were performed on the log-transformed data. If both kurtosis and skewness tests indicated the log-transformed data were normally distributed, the UPL can be calculated using the Equation 2.

                          Equation 2
where:

	μ	=  the average of the best performing existing sources;
	 	=  the z statistic for a lognormal distribution at 99 percent;
		=  the variance;
	n	=  the total number of test runs (all sources) used in the analysis; and
	m	=  the number of (future) compliance test runs [for run-by-run data m=3].

      Mean is calculated by:
                                                                                Equation 2a
      Variance is calculated by:
                                                                                Equation 2b

If the raw data and the log-transformed data were not normally distributed and n >=13, the UPL was calculated using the UPL pooled variance with skewness adjustment in Equation 3.  Note this adjustment cannot be used if the number of individual runs is less than 13.

                                                                            Equation 3

where:

	XT 	=  the average of the best performing existing sources;
	t(p,df) 	=  the t statistic for a confidence level p, and df degrees of freedom;
	s[2]	=  the pooled variance;
	n	=  the total number of test runs (all sources) used in the analysis;
	m	=  the number of (future) compliance test runs [for run-by-run data m=3]; and
	Skew	=  the skewness of the test runs used in the analysis.

If the raw data and the log-transformed data were not normally distributed and n was less than 13 the UPL was calculated using the UPL pooled variance in Equation 1, but instead of using the Excel TINV formula to find the t statistic t(p,df), a trial and error method was used to find the t statistic that gives a 99 percent confidence level by correcting the probability values  (p) using Equation 4

Corrected Probability = P0(t) + Skewness x Pλ3(t)  -  Kurtosis x Pλ4(t) + λ3[2]xP λ3/2(t)       Equation 4

Adjustment for Below Detection Level Emissions Data
Prior to calculating the UPLs, test runs that were below detection level (BDL) were identified.  If a dataset contained any BDL values, the UPL was calculated using BDL values as reported in the test report. The calculated floor or emissions limit was then compared to three times the RDL values provided by EPA. If the three times the RDL was less than the calculated floor or emissions limit (e.g., calculated from the UPL), we conclude that measurement variability was adequately addressed and the calculated floor or emissions limit would need no adjustment. If, on the other hand, the value equal to three times the RDL were greater than the UPL, we concluded that the calculated floor or emissions limit does not account entirely for measurement variability and used the three times RDL value instead. The RDL for each pollutant was determined using data from tests of all the best performers for all of the final regulatory subcategories (i.e., pooled test data). If no BDL values were included in the pollutant data set for a particular unit type, these steps were not performed.
MACT Floor Analysis Results
The MACT floors for new and existing sources were calculated using the 99% UPL approach described above and are summarized in Table 1. When calculated MACT floors for new sources are less stringent than the MACT floor calculated for existing sources, the existing MACT floor calculated value was used for both new and existing sources.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change
To Adopt Section 16 (Proxy Voting) to Chapter III of the BOX Trading
Rules Concerning Broker Voting

March 3, 2011.
    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 February 18, 2011, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (the ``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``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 from
interested persons, and is approving the proposed rule change on an
accelerated basis.

    \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 add Section 16 (Proxy Voting) to Chapter
III, of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange Group, LLC (``BOX'')
in accordance with the provision of Section 957 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ``Dodd-Frank Act''). The
text of the proposed rule change is available from the principal office
of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and also on
the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXBX/Filings/.

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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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
    In accordance with Section 957 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Exchange
is proposing to adopt Section 16 (Proxy Voting) to Chapter III of the
BOX Trading Rules. As proposed, this section will codify a provision to
prohibit Participants from voting uninstructed shares if the matter
voted on relates to (i) the election of a member of the board of
directors of an issuer (other than an

uncontested election of a director of an investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment Company Act'');
(ii) executive compensation, or (iii) any other significant matter, as
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission''), by rule.
    Section 957 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended Section 6 (b) \3\ of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') to require the
rules of each national securities exchange to prohibit any member
organization that is not the beneficial owner of a security registered
under Section 12 \4\ of the Exchange Act from granting a proxy to vote
the security in connection with certain stockholder votes, unless the
beneficial owner of the security has instructed the member organization
to vote the proxy in accordance with the voting instructions of the
beneficial owner. The stockholder votes covered by Section 957 include
any vote with respect to (i) the election of a member of the board of
directors of an issuer (other than an uncontested election of a
director of an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act), (ii) executive compensation, or (iii) any other
significant matter, as determined by the Commission, by rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 781.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, in order to carry out the requirements of Section 957
of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Exchange proposes to adopt proposed Section
16 to Chapter III of the BOX Trading Rules to prohibit any Participant
from giving a proxy to vote stock that is registered in its name,
unless: (i) Such Participant is the beneficial owner of such stock;
(ii) pursuant to the written instructions of the beneficial owner; or
(iii) pursuant to the rules of any national securities exchange or
association of which it is a member provided that the records of the
Participant clearly indicate the procedure it is following. The
Exchange is proposing to adopt these rules because other national
securities exchanges and associations do allow proxy voting under
certain limited circumstances while the current Exchange Rules are
silent on such matters. Therefore, a Participant that is also a member
of another national securities exchange or association may vote the
shares held for a customer when allowed under its membership at another
national securities exchange or association, provided that the records
of the Participant clearly indicate the procedure it is following.
    Notwithstanding the above, under the proposal, a Participant that
is not the beneficial owner of a security registered under Section 12
of the Exchange Act is prohibited from granting a proxy to vote the
security in connection with a shareholder vote with respect to the
election of a member of the board of directors of an issuer (except for
a vote with respect to uncontested election of a member of the board of
directors of any investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act), executive compensation, or any other significant matter,
as determined by the Commission, by rule, unless the beneficial owner
of the security has instructed the Participant to vote the proxy in
accordance with the voting instructions of the beneficial owner.
    Because Section 957 of the Dodd-Frank Act does not provide for a
transition phase, the Exchange is proposing to adopt the proposed rule
change pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act to comply with
Section 957 of the Dodd-Frank Act and is requesting that the Commission
approve the proposal on an accelerated basis. Additionally, the
proposed adoption of Section 16 to Chapter III of the BOX Trading Rules
is based upon International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'') Rule
421.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Exchange Act for these proposed rule changes is
the requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \5\ 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. The Exchange is adopting this
proposed rule change to comply with the requirements of Section 957 of
the Dodd-Frank Act, and therefore believes the proposed rule change to
be consistent with the Exchange Act, particularly with respect to the
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 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

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

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

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing, the Exchange requested that the Commission approve
the proposal on an accelerated basis so that the Exchange could
immediately comply with the requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act,
and because the proposed rule text is based upon ISE Rule 421. After
careful consideration, 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.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it
has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that proposed Section 16(a) to Chapter III
is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) \7\ of the Act, which provides,
among other things, that the rules of the Exchange must be designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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, and are not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under proposed Section 16(a) to Chapter III, a Participant shall be
prohibited from voting uninstructed shares unless (1) that Participant
is the beneficial owner of the stock; (2) pursuant to the written
instructions of the beneficial owner; or (3) pursuant to the rules of
any national securities exchange or association of which it is also a
member, provided that the Participant's records clearly indicate the
procedure it is following. This provision is based upon ISE Rule 421,
which was previously approved by the Commission.\8\ The Commission
notes that the proposed change to Section 16(a) to Chapter III will
provide clarity to Exchange Participants going forward on whether
broker discretionary voting is permitted by Exchange Participants under
limited circumstances when the Exchange Participant is also a member of
another national securities exchange that permits broker discretionary
voting. In approving this portion of the Exchange proposal, the
Commission notes that proposed Section 16(a) to Chapter III is
consistent with the approach taken under the rules of other national
securities exchanges or national securities association, and for
Exchange Participants who are not also members of another national
securities exchange prohibits broker discretionary voting on any
matter, consistent with investor protection and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63139 (October 20,
2010), 75 FR 65680 (October 26, 2010) (SR-ISE-2010-99). See also
NYSE Arca Rule 9.4 and FINRA Rule 2251, which are similar and
previously approved by the Commission. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 48735 (October 31, 2003), 68 FR 63173 (November 7, 2003)
(SR-PCX-2003-50); 61052 (November 23, 2009), 74 FR 62857 (December
1, 2009) (SR-FINRA-2009-066) (finding that the proposed rule change
was consistent with the Act because the Rule ``will continue to
provide FINRA members with guidance on the forwarding of proxy and
other issuer-related materials.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that proposed Section 16(b) to Chapter III
is consistent with Section 6(b)(10) \9\ of the Act, which requires that
national securities exchanges adopt rules prohibiting members that are
not beneficial holders of a security from voting uninstructed proxies
with respect to the election of a member of the board of directors of
an issuer (except for uncontested elections of directors for companies
registered under the Investment Company Act), executive compensation,
or any other significant matter, as determined by the Commission by
rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that proposed Section 16(b) to Chapter III
is consistent with Section 6(b)(10) of the Act because it adopts
revisions that comply with that section. As noted in the accompanying
Senate Report, Section 957, which enacted Section 6(b)(10), reflects
the principle that ``final vote tallies should reflect the wishes of
the beneficial owners of the stock and not be affected by the wishes of
the broker that holds the shares.'' \10\ The proposed rule change will
make the Exchange compliant with the new requirements of Section
6(b)(10) by specifically prohibiting, in the Exchange's rule language,
broker-dealers, who are not beneficial owners of a security, from
voting uninstructed shares in connection with a shareholder vote on the
election of a member of the board of directors of an issuer (except for
a vote with respect to the uncontested election of a member of the
board of directors of any investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940), executive compensation, or any other
significant matter, as determined by the Commission by rule, unless the
Participant receives voting instructions from the beneficial owner of
the shares.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See S. Rep. No. 111-176, at 136 (2010).
    \11\ The Commission has not, to date, adopted rules concerning
other significant matters where uninstructed broker votes should be
prohibited, although it may do so in the future. Should the
Commission adopt such rules, we would expect the Exchange to adopt
coordinating rules promptly to comply with the statute.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission also believes that proposed Section 16(b) to Chapter
III is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) \12\ of the Act, which provides,
among other things, that the rules of the Exchange must be designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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, and are not designed to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the rule assures that shareholder
votes on the election of the board of directors of an issuer (except
for a vote with respect to the uncontested election of a member of the
board of directors of any investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940) and on executive compensation matters
are made by those with an economic interest in the company, rather than
by a broker that has no such economic interest, which should enhance
corporate governance and accountability to shareholders.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ As the Commission stated in approving NYSE rules
prohibiting broker voting in the election of directors, having those
with an economic interest in the company vote the shares, rather
than the broker who has no such economic interest, furthers the goal
of enfranchising shareholders. See Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 60215 (July 1, 2009), 74 FR 33293 (July 10, 2009) (SR-NYSE-2006-
92).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the above, the Commission finds that the Exchange proposal
will further the purposes of Sections 6(b)(5) and 6(b)(10) of the Act
because it should enhance corporate accountability to shareholders
while also serving to fulfill the Congressional intent in adopting
Section 6(b)(10) of the Act.
    The Commission also finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)
of the Act,\14\ for approving the proposed rule change prior to the
30th day after the date of publication of notice in the Federal
Register. The Commission believes that good cause exists to grant
accelerated approval to proposed Section 16(a) to Chapter III, because
this proposed rule will conform the BOX rule to ISE Rule 421, NYSE Arca
Rule 9.4, and FINRA Rule 2251, which were published for public comment
in the Federal Register and approved by the Commission, and for which
no

comments were received.\15\ Because proposed Section 16(a) is
substantially similar to the ISE, NYSE Arca, and FINRA rules, it raises
no new regulatory issues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \15\ See note 8 supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission also believes that good cause exists to grant
accelerated approval to proposed Section 16(b) to Chapter III, which
conforms the Exchange rule to the requirements of Section 6(b)(10) of
the Act. Section 6(b)(10) of the Act, enacted under Section 957 of the
Dodd-Frank Act, does not provide for a transition phase, and requires
rules of national securities exchanges to prohibit broker voting on the
election of a member of the board of directors of an issuer (except for
a vote with respect to the uncontested election of a member of the
board of directors of any investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940), executive compensation, or any other
significant matter, as determined by the Commission by rule. The
Commission believes that good cause exists to grant accelerated
approval to proposed Section 16(b) to Chapter III, because it will
conform the Box rules to the requirements of Section 6(b)(10) of the
Act.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\16\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BX-2011-011) be, and it
hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.
