ACTION: Notice.

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

    Notice of an application under section 6(c) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (``Act'') for an exemption from section 15(a) of
the Act and rule 18f-2 under the Act, as well as from certain

Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and sections 6-
07(2)(a), (b), and (c) of Regulation S-X (``Disclosure Requirements'').

relief from the Disclosure Requirements as they relate to fees paid to
the sub-advisers.

statutory trust registered under the Act as an open-end management
investment company, and Symmetry Partners, LLC (the ``Adviser''), a

amended on February 4, 2019, February 5, 2019, and March 4, 2019.

CT 06033.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laura L. Solomon, Senior Counsel, at
(202) 551-6915, or Kaitlin C. Bottock, Branch Chief, at<PHONE_NUMBER>
(Division of Investment Management, Chief Counsel's Office).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following is a summary of the
application. The complete application may be obtained via the
Commission's website by searching for the file number, or an applicant
using the Company name box, at http://www.sec.gov/search/search.htm or
by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Summary of the Application:
    1. The Adviser will serve as the investment adviser to the Sub-
Advised Series pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the
Trust (the ``Investment Advisory Agreement'').\1\ The Adviser will
provide the Sub-Advised Series with continuous investment management
services, subject to the supervision of, and policies established by,
the board of trustees of the Trust (``Board''). The Investment Advisory
Agreement permits the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board, to
delegate to one or more sub-advisers (each, a ``Sub-Adviser'' and
collectively, the ``Sub-Advisers'') the responsibility to provide the
day-to-day portfolio investment management of each Sub-Advised Series,
subject to the supervision and direction of the Adviser.\2\ The primary
responsibility for managing each Sub-Advised Series will remain vested
in the Adviser. The Adviser will hire, evaluate, allocate assets to and
oversee the Sub-Advisers, including determining whether a Sub-Adviser
should be terminated, at all times subject to the authority of the
Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants request relief with respect to the named
Applicants, as well as to any future series of the Trust and any
other existing or future registered open-end management investment
company or series thereof that intends to rely on the requested
order in the future and that: (a) Is advised by the Adviser, its
successors, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Adviser or its successors (each, an
``Adviser''); (b) uses the multi-manager structure described in the
application; and (c) complies with the terms and conditions set
forth in the application (each, a ``Sub-Advised Series''). For
purposes of the requested order, ``successor'' is limited to an
entity that results from a reorganization into another jurisdiction
or a change in the type of business organization.
    \2\ A ``Sub-Adviser'' for a Sub-Advised Series is (1) an
indirect or direct ``wholly-owned subsidiary'' (as such term is
defined in the Act) of the Adviser for that Series, or (2) a sister
company of the Adviser for that Series that is an indirect or direct
``wholly-owned subsidiary'' of the same entity that, indirectly or
directly, wholly owns the Adviser (each of (1) and (2) a ``Wholly-
Owned Sub-Adviser'' and collectively, the ``Wholly-Owned Sub-
Advisers''), or (3) an investment sub-adviser for that Series that
is not an ``affiliated person'' (as such term is defined in section
2(a)(3) of the Act) of the Trust, Sub-Advised Series or the Adviser,
except to the extent that an affiliation arises solely because the
Sub-Adviser serves as a sub-adviser to one or more Sub-Advised
Series (``Non-Affiliated Sub-Advisers'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Applicants request an exemption to permit the Adviser, subject
to Board approval, to hire certain Sub-Advisers pursuant to Sub-
Advisory Agreements and materially amend existing Sub-Advisory
Agreements without obtaining the shareholder approval required under
section 15(a) of the Act and rule 18f-2 under the Act.\3\ Applicants
also seek an exemption from the Disclosure Requirements to permit a
Sub-Advised Series to disclose (as both a dollar amount and a
percentage of the Sub-Advised Series' net assets): (a) The aggregate
fees paid to the Adviser and any Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser; (b) the
aggregate fees paid to Non-Affiliated Sub-Advisers; and (c) the fee
paid to each Affiliated Sub-Adviser (collectively, ``Aggregate Fee
Disclosure'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The requested relief will not extend to any sub-adviser,
other than a Wholly-Owned Sub-Adviser, who is an affiliated person,
as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Act, of the Sub-Advised Series,
the Trust or of the Adviser, other than by reason of serving as a
sub-adviser to one or more of the Sub-Advised Series (``Affiliated
Sub-Adviser'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief
will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the application.
Such terms and conditions provide for, among other safeguards,
appropriate disclosure to Sub-Advised Series shareholders and
notification about sub-advisory changes and enhanced Board oversight to
protect the interests of the Sub-Advised Series' shareholders.
    4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of
persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or
any rule thereunder, if such relief is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
Applicants believe that the requested relief meets this standard
because, as further

explained in the application, the Investment Advisory Agreements will
remain subject to shareholder approval while the role of the Sub-
Advisers is substantially similar to that of individual portfolio
managers, so that requiring shareholder approval of Sub-Advisory
Agreements would impose unnecessary delays and expenses on the Sub-
Advised Series. Applicants believe that the requested relief from the
Disclosure Requirements meets this standard because it will improve the
Adviser's ability to negotiate fees paid to the Sub-Advisers that are
more advantageous for the Sub-Advised Series.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Deputy Secretary.

[Release No. 34-54792; File No. SR-CBOE-2006-96]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Regarding
Allocation of Stocks to CBSX DPMs

 November 20, 2006.
    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 November 20, 2006, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' or ``Exchange'') 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 substantially
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 submits this rule change filing to modify its rules
relating to the allocation of stocks for the Exchange's proposed stock-
trading facility, CBSX. The text of the proposed rule change is set
forth below. Additions are in italics; deletions are in [brackets].

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated

Rules

* * * * *

RULE 53.54. [Conditions on the] Allocation of Securities to [STOC] CBSX
DPMs

    (a) CBSX [The STOC DPM Committee] may establish [(i) restrictions
applicable to all STOC DPMs on the concentration of securities
allocable to a single STOC DPM and to affiliated STOC DPMs and (ii)]
minimum eligibility standards applicable to all [STOC] CBSX DPMs which
must be satisfied in order for a [STOC] CBSX DPM to receive allocations
of securities, including but not limited to standards relating to
adequacy of capital and number of personnel.
    (b) CBSX shall determine, for each security in which CBSX begins
trading, which CBSX DPM should be allocated such security. Factors to
be considered in making such determinations may include, but are not
limited to, any one or more of the following: Performance, volume,
capacity, market performance commitments, operational factors,
efficiency, competitiveness, expressed preferences of issuers, and the
best interest of CBSX. Alternatively, in instances where multiple
securities are being allocated at one time, CBSX may allocate such
securities utilizing a draft where the draft selection order for the
eligible CBSX DPMs is determined randomly by CBSX.
    (c) Prior to the commencement of trading on CBSX, all securities
that will initially trade on CBSX (pursuant to a rollout schedule
determined by CBSX) shall be allocated as follows:
    (1) CBSX will randomly set a draft rotation for all CBSX DPMs.
    (2) The top 500 securities (based on a twelve-month average daily
volume) will be selected by the DPMs (one by one) in the established
rotation order.
    (3) Any additional securities selected by CBSX to initially trade
on CBSX shall be allocated equally among the CBSX DPMs in a random
fashion by CBSX.
* * * * *

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CBOE 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
    In September 2006, the Commission approved Exchange Chapters 50-55
governing the trading of non-option securities on the Exchange.\3\ The
Exchange, via a separate rule filing, will be proposing to further
modify Chapters 50-55 in connection with the establishment of the CBOE
Stock Exchange (``CBSX''). CBSX will be a facility of the Exchange and
will serve as the Exchange's vehicle for trading non-option securities.
CBSX would be a separate legal entity (a Delaware Limited Liability
Company) that is owned by the Exchange and several strategic partners.
The Exchange is also submitting rule filings proposing to establish
CBSX as a facility of the Exchange and proposing to allow CBSX to
appoint CBSX DPMs. The purpose of this filing is to adopt rules that
would allow for the allocation of stocks to CBSX DPMs (the Exchange
expects that the filing allowing appointment of

CBSX DPMs will become effective prior to approval of this filing). Any
such appointments and allocations would be contingent on Commission
approval of rules governing CBSX DPM trading procedures and
obligations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54422 (September 11,
2006), 71 FR 54537 (September 15, 2006) (approving SR-CBOE-2004-21).
See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54526 (September 27,
2006), 71 FR 58646 (October 4, 2006) (approving SR-CBOE-2006-70).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Initial CBSX DPM stock allocations would be handled pursuant to
proposed modified CBOE Rule 53.54. For the initial launch, and
potentially in instances where CBSX seeks to commence trading a number
of new securities at one time, CBSX would conduct a ``draft'' for
eligible CBSX DPMs to select available stocks. The draft order would be
determined randomly. In connection with the initial launch, the draft
would only apply to the first 500 securities selected.\4\ After that
point, all of the remaining securities slated for trading on CBSX would
be allocated randomly by CBSX to the CBSX DPMs equally.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Telephone conversation between Angelo Evangelou, Assistant
General Counsel, CBOE, and Nathan Saunders, Special Counsel,
Division of Market Regulation, Commission, November 20, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBSX would utilize proposed CBOE Rule 53.54 for future stock
allocations as well. In those cases, a draft could be employed or CBSX
could allocate the stocks based on any one or more of the following:
Performance, volume, capacity, market performance commitments,
operational factors, efficiency, competitiveness, expressed preferences
of issuers, and the best interest of CBSX.
    The ability to allocate stocks to CBSX DPMs ahead of the launch of
the CBSX facility would allow the Exchange and the CBSX DPM firms to be
prepared to commence trading on CBSX immediately upon approval of CBSX
trading rules and pursuant to a robust rollout schedule. The Exchange
seeks to launch the CBSX facility on February 5, 2007.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \5\ in general and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \6\ in particular in that it serves to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market because it will help the Exchange manage the initial launch of
trading on CBSX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that this proposed rule change would not
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments with respect
to the proposed rule change.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve the proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be 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:

Regional Vulnerability Assessment ( ReVA) Program March 3, 2003 EPA's Regional Vulnerability Assessment ( ReVA) program is an approach to regional scale, priority setting assessment being developed by EPA's Office of Research and Development ( ORD). ReVA is a tool for integrating research on human and environmental health, ecorestoration, landscape analysis, regional exposure and process modeling, problem formulation, and ecological risk guidelines.

Purpose: This program is part of the Integrated Science for Ecosystem Challenges Initiative for FY 2000 sponsored by the White House Committee on the Environment and Natural Resources ( CENR). As such, the scope of ReVA is to conduct pilot assessments that focus on one geographic region that is well characterized biologically. The ReVA program will be responsible for the collection, management, and analysis of multiple data sources to evaluate environmental conditions and known stressors within the Mid Atlantic region. Extensive effort has been made to evaluate environmental condition and known stressors within the Mid Atlantic region, but predicting future environmental risk to prioritize efforts to protect and restore environmental quality efficiently and effectively is still difficult. ReVA is being developed to identify those ecosystems most vulnerable to being lost or permanently harmed in the next 5 to 25 years and to determine which stressors are likely to cause the greatest risk. The goal of ReVA is not exact predictions, but identification of the undesirable environmental changes expected over the coming years. The ReVA program will extend environmental assessments for the region by using integrative technologies to predict future environmental risk and support informed, proactive decision making and prioritization of issues for risk management.

ReVA is possibly feasible for ecological risk evaluation. However, a few notes of caution are warranted. ORD is continuing to quantify uncertainties; thus its, ultimate effectiveness and predictive capabilities for OW in the near term need more vetting. Furthermore, ORD has not done any analyses, to date, at a national scale, and the validity of applying this approach to the planning process will depend on the quality of data inputs.

Contact: Betsy Smith ( 919) 541 0620 Short term Followup: Meet with ReVA staff to determine the progress to date in identifying ecosystems most vulnerable to being lost or permanently harmed in the next 5 to 25 years, and the stressors are likely to cause the greatest risk. With the assistance of ReVA staff, this information could be used at the screening level tool for identifying national level concerns or trends in human health and the environment.

Long term Followup: Discuss with ReVA staff the possibility of using this approach for in depth evaluation of the stressors identified in the short term ( and their possible sources) to support the more detailed investigation phase of the 304( m) planning process.

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments
from the public on the exemption request. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov. As described in the system of records
notice DOT/ALL 14 (Federal Docket Management System), which can be
reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/privacy/privacy-act-system-records-notices, the comments are searchable by the name of
the submitter.

II. Background

    FMCSA received applications from 132 individuals who requested an
exemption from the FMCSRs prohibiting persons with a clinical diagnosis
of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to operate a CMV from operating
CMVs in interstate commerce.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(8).

III. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification. The Agency's decision regarding these
exemption applications is based on the eligibility criteria, the terms
and conditions for Federal exemptions, and an individualized assessment
of each applicant's medical information provided by the applicant.

IV. Conclusion

    The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the
eligibility criteria or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal
exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
Therefore, the 132 applicants in this notice have been denied
exemptions from the physical qualification standards in Sec.
391.41(b)(8).
    Each applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of
final disposition regarding his/her exemption request. Those decision
letters fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitute final
action by the Agency. This notice summarizes the Agency's recent
denials as required under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically
publishing names and reasons for denial.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of April 5, 2010 (75 FR 17093), FDA
published a proposed rule to amend certain neurological device and
physical medicine device regulations to establish special controls for
these class II devices and to exempt some of these devices from the
premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act. Interested persons were given until July 6, 2010, to
comment on the proposed rule.

II. Request for Comments

    Following publication of the April 5, 2010, proposed rule, FDA
received requests to allow interested persons additional time to
comment. The requests asserted that the 90-day time period was
insufficient to respond fully to FDA's specific requests for comments
and to allow potential respondents to thoroughly evaluate and address
pertinent issues. The agency has considered the requests and is
reopening the comment period until September 7, 2010. The agency
believes the additional comment period allows adequate time for
interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying
rulemaking on these important issues.

III. How to Submit Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no
longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    Dated: July 22, 2010.
David Dorsey,
Acting Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning and Budget.
