[Docket No. 2007-28501; Notice No. 07-08]
RIN 2120-AJ05

Airworthiness Standards; Aircraft Engine Standards for
Pressurized Engine Static Parts

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is proposing to amend the aircraft engine type
certification standards by adding standards for pressurized engine
static parts that are equivalent to those already adopted by European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The proposed rule would establish
uniform standards for the certification of these parts in the United
States and in Europe. U.S. manufacturers already meet the EASA
requirements.

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 III, Section 44701, ``General
Requirements.'' Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce, including minimum safety
standards for aircraft engines. This regulation is within the scope of
that authority because it updates the existing regulations for aircraft
engine static parts.

Background

    Part 33 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part
33) prescribes airworthiness standards for original and amended type
certificates for aircraft engines certificated in the United States.
The Certification Specifications for Engines (CS-E) prescribe
corresponding airworthiness standards for aircraft engine certification
in Europe by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). While part 33
and the European regulations are similar, they differ in several
respects. For applicants seeking certification under both part 33 and
CS-E, these differences can result in additional costs and delays.
    In 1989, the FAA met with the European Joint Aviation Authorities
and U.S. and European aviation industry representatives to commence
rulemaking to harmonize U.S. and European certification standards.
Transport Canada subsequently joined this effort. The FAA tasked the
Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) \i\ through its Engine
Harmonization Working Group to review existing regulations and
recommend changes that would eliminate differences in U.S. and European
engine certification standards for pressurized engine static parts.
This proposed rule is based on ARAC's recommendations to the FAA.

    \i\ Published in the Federal Register on October 20, 1998 (63 FR
56059). See Task 13: Fatigue Pressure Test/Analysis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Discussion of the Proposal

    Typically, pressurized engine static parts are external engine
cases or pressure vessels that operate at significant pressures. They
include, but are not limited to: Compressor, combustion, diffuser, and
turbine cases; heat exchangers; bleed valve solenoids; starter motors;
and fuel, oil and hydraulic system components. FAA regulations do not
contain explicit standards for these parts.
    Engine case ruptures continue to contribute to propulsion risk.
Data from the Continued Airworthiness Assessment Methodologies (CAAM)
indicates that case ruptures were the 10th leading cause of CAAM level
3 or 4 events \ii\ from 1982 to 1996 and represent a significant hazard
to airplanes certificated under part 25. The proposed rule would
establish explicit structural integrity requirements for engine static
parts that may result in a reduction in burst events of pressurized
cases in future certificated engines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \ii\ Level 3 events involve serious consequences that cause
substantial damage to the aircraft or to a second, unrelated system.
Level 4 events involve severe consequences including either forced
landing, loss of aircraft, or serious injuries to passengers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    U.S. aircraft engine manufacturers who meet the European
certification requirements already comply with the intent of this
proposed regulation, since EASA's requirements contain these

proposed standards. This proposed rule would establish similar
certification standards in the United States and in Europe with respect
to pressurized parts/cases designed to contain pressurized gases or
liquids.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) requires
that the FAA consider the impact of paperwork and other information
collection burdens imposed on the public. We have determined that there
are no new information collection requirements associated with this
proposed rule.

International Compatibility

    In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on
International Civil Aviation, it is FAA policy to comply with
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and
Recommended Practices to the maximum extent practicable. We reviewed
the corresponding ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices and
identified no differences with these proposed regulations.

Regulatory Evaluation, Regulatory Flexibility Determination,
International Trade Impact Assessment, and Unfunded Mandates Assessment

    Changes to Federal regulations must undergo several economic
analyses. First, Executive Order 12866 directs that each Federal agency
shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination
that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs. Second,
the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-354) requires
agencies to analyze the economic impact of regulatory changes on small
entities. Third, the Trade Agreements Act (Pub. L. 96-39) prohibits
agencies from setting standards that create unnecessary obstacles to
the foreign commerce of the United States. In developing U.S.
standards, the Trade Act requires agencies to consider international
standards and, where appropriate, that they be the basis of U.S.
standards. Fourth, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104-4) requires agencies to prepare a written assessment of the costs,
benefits and other effects of proposed or final rules that include a
Federal mandate likely to result in the expenditure by State, local or
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more, in any one year (adjusted for inflation with base year
of 1995). This portion of the preamble summarizes the FAA's analysis of
the economic impacts of this proposed rule.
    Department of Transportation Order DOT 2100.5 prescribes policies
and procedures for simplification, analysis, and review of regulations.
If the expected cost is so minimal that a proposed or final rule does
not warrant a full evaluation, this order permits that a statement to
that effect and the basis for it be included in the preamble if a full
regulatory evaluation of the cost and benefits is not prepared. Such a
determination has been made for this proposed rule. The reasoning for
this determination follows:
    This proposed rule:
     Would use European certification requirements, CS-E 640,
as the basis for the proposed Sec.  33.64.
     Would update the federal aviation regulations to reflect
current industry standards.
     Would not result in incremental costs.
     May reduce existing certification costs.
    Presently, engine manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with
both part 33 and European certification standards to market turbine
engines in both the United States and Europe. Meeting two sets of
certification requirements raises the cost of developing a new turbine
engine.
    EASA has adopted this proposed standard as CS-E 640 Pressure Loads.
This proposed rule would add the provisions of CS-E 640 Pressure Loads
to part 33 as a new Sec.  33.64, Pressurized engine static parts, under
Subpart E--Design and Construction; Turbine Aircraft Engines. We have
concluded, for the reasons discussed above, that adoption of this
proposed rule, consistent with the EASA standards, into part 33 would
be the most efficient way to enhance safety.
    We estimate that no incremental costs are associated with this
proposal. Our review of turbine aircraft engine manufacturers revealed
that they currently design their engines to meet the standards of CS-E
640 Pressure Loads. Since our proposed rule would adopt this standard,
manufacturers would incur no additional costs resulting from this
proposal, if adopted as a final rule.
    By creating common part 33 and EASA requirements, turbine engine
manufacturers would only need to design to one certification standard.
We did not attempt to quantify the cost savings from this specific
proposal, but note that harmonization in this area would contribute to
the overall savings that certification to one standard provides. We
have also concluded that further analysis is not required because
turbine engine manufacturers are already designing to the CS-E 640
Pressure Loads standard that this document proposes.
    This expected outcome of this proposal would be a minimal impact
with positive net benefits. Therefore, a complete regulatory evaluation
was not prepared. The FAA requests comments with supporting
justification about the FAA determination of minimal impact.
    In view of the above, we determined that this proposed rule is not
a ``significant regulatory action'' as defined in section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866, and is not ``significant'' as defined in DOT's
Regulatory Policies and Procedures.

Regulatory Flexibility Determination

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-354) (RFA)
establishes ``as a principle of regulatory issuance that agencies shall
endeavor, consistent with the objectives of the rule and of applicable
statutes, to fit regulatory and informational requirements to the scale
of the businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions
subject to regulation. To achieve this principle, agencies are required
to solicit and consider flexible regulatory proposals and to explain
the rationale for their actions to assure that such proposals are given
serious consideration.'' The RFA covers a wide-range of small entities,
including small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions.
    Agencies must perform a review to determine whether a rule will
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. If the agency determines that it will, the agency must
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis as described in the RFA.
    However, if an agency determines that a rule is not expected to
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities, section 605(b) of the RFA provides that the head of the
agency may so certify and a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required. The certification must include a statement providing the
factual basis for this determination, and the reasoning should be
clear.
    We believe that this proposed rule would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. We
identified six companies that produce civil turbine aircraft engines in
the United States. Only one, Williams International, is a small entity.
The other five U.S. turbine aircraft engine manufacturers exceed the
Small Business Administration small entity criteria of 1,000 employees
for North American Industrial Classification 2002

(NAICS 2002)--No. 336412, Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts
Manufacturing. See the following table.

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

We expect the proposed rule to have, at most, a minor effect on the
existing U.S. manufacturers because they are already meeting the
proposed rule's requirements.
    Therefore the FAA certifies that this proposed rule would not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The FAA solicits comments regarding this determination.

Trade Impact Assessment

    The Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39) prohibits Federal
agencies from establishing any standards or engaging in related
activities that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign commerce of
the United States. Legitimate domestic objectives, such as safety, are
not considered unnecessary obstacles. The statute also requires
consideration of international standards and, where appropriate, that
they be the basis for U.S. standards. The FAA has assessed the
potential effect of this proposed rule and has determined that it is in
accord with the Trade Agreements Act as the proposed rule uses European
standards as the basis for U.S. regulations.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-
4) requires each Federal agency to prepare a written statement
assessing the effects of any Federal mandate in a proposed or final
agency rule that may result in an expenditure of $100 million or more
(adjusted annually for inflation with the base year 1995) in any one
year by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by
the private sector; such a mandate is deemed to be a ``significant
regulatory action.'' The FAA currently uses an inflation-adjusted value
of $128.1 million in lieu of $100 million.
    This proposed rule does not contain such a mandate.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    The FAA has analyzed this proposed rule under the principles and
criteria of Executive Order 13132, Federalism. We determined that this
action would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. Therefore, we determined that this notice of proposed
rulemaking would not have federalism implications.

Environmental Analysis

    FAA Order 1050.1E identifies FAA actions that are categorically
excluded from preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy
Act in the absence of extraordinary circumstances. The FAA has
determined this proposed rulemaking action qualifies for the
categorical exclusion identified in Chapter 3, paragraph 312d and
involves no extraordinary circumstances.

Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use

    The FAA has analyzed this NPRM under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (May 18, 2001). We have determined that it is not
a ``significant energy action'' under the executive order because it is
not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866,
and it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the
supply, distribution, or use of energy.

RIN 0910-AF46

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed;
Confirmation of Effective Date of Final Rule; Correction

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; confirmation of effective date; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final
rule; confirmation of effective date, that appeared in the Federal
Register of Friday, April 24, 2009 (74 FR 18626) (the April 24, 2009,
final rule; confirmation of effective date). That document had
confirmed the effective date of April 27, 2009, for a final rule that
published in the Federal Register of April 25, 2008 (73 FR 22720),
entitled ``Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed.'' In
the April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective date, the
agency also established a compliance date of October 26, 2009, in order
to allow additional time for renderers to comply with the new
requirements. The April 24, 2009, final rule; confirmation of effective
date was published with an inadvertent error in the ``Background''
section. This document corrects that error.

DATES:  This correction is effective: May 5, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. E9-9466, appearing on page 18626
in the Federal Register of Friday, April 24, 2009, the following
correction is made:
    On page 18626, in the third column, under ``I. Background,'' in the
first paragraph, the first sentence ``In the Federal Register of April
25, 2008, FDA published a final rule entitled ``Substances Prohibited
From Use in Animal Food or Feed)'' (referred to herein as the April 25,
2008, final rule), that would become effective 1 year after the April
27, 2009, date of publication.'' is corrected to read ``In the Federal
Register of April 25, 2008, FDA published a final rule entitled
``Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed'' (referred to
herein as the April 25, 2008, final rule), that would become effective
1 year after that publication.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.

    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to
ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA
has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the
pesticide, antimycin A under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Antimycin A
is a restricted use pesticide applied directly to water - primarily by
Federal and state agencies - to eliminate invasive or unwanted fish
species. EPA has determined that the data base is adequate to support a
reregistration decision and that products containing antimycin A are
eligible for reregistration, provided the risks are mitigated in the
manner described in the RED. Upon submission of any required product
specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the
registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the
RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make a final
reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products
containing antimycin A.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be
commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide.
Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, antimycin A was reviewed
through the modified 4-Phase process. Through this process, EPA worked
extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory
decisions for antimycin A.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the
antimycin A RED for public comment. This comment period is intended to
provide an additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary amendments to the RED. All comments should be
submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA
on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the
Agency Docket for antimycin A. Comments received after the close of the
comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider
these late comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the
Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the
document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the Federal
Register. In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the
antimycin A RED will be implemented as it is now presented.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission
of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator
shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient
are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific
data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products
or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''

The Summary Population Exposure Report is a summary of the population living in an area that is in nonattainment for at least one of the NAAQS.  Area Name:  The "State(s) Area Name" column contains a common or general name for the nonattainment areas on the row, but may not reflect the exact name of any area on the row. This column cannot be exact since the nonattainment area for one pollutant may not contain the same counties, cities, or states as the nonattainment area for another pollutant on the same row. The abbreviations listed in the "State(s)" column reflect all states identified in row. However, some states on a row may be nonattainment for some pollutants and not for others in the general area. A multi-state area with states that have not all been redesignated to maintenance is counted as a nonattainment area until all of the states in the area are redesignated, with the whole area population displayed.

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces the appointment of 15 members to the Household
Goods (HHG) Consumer Protection Working Group (HHG Working Group). This
group will meet for the first time on January 4-5, 2017. Congress
mandated the establishment of the HHG Working Group in the Fixing
America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. The group is charged with
providing recommendations on how to better educate and protect HHG
moving customers (consumers) during interstate HHG moves.

DATES: The first HHG Working Group meeting will be held on January 4,
2017 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and January 5, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. at the USDOT Headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC 20590. Members of the Working Group and the public
should arrive at 8:30 a.m. to facilitate clearance through DOT
security. Copies of the agenda will be made available at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/fastact/household-goods-consumer-protection-working-group.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FAST Act

    Section 5503 of the FAST Act (Pub. L. 114-94) (December 4, 2015)
requires the HHG Working Group to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of Transportation, through the FMCSA Administrator. The
Working Group will operate in accordance with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). 5 U.S.C. App. 2.
    As required by Section 5503 of the FAST Act, the Working Group will
make recommendations in three areas relating to ``how to best convey to
consumers relevant information with respect to the Federal laws
concerning the interstate transportation of household goods by motor
carrier.'' Those areas are:
    1. How to condense the FMCSA ``Ready to Move ?'' tips published in
April 2006 (FMCSA-ESA-03-005) into a more consumer friendly format;
    2. How best to use state-of-the-art education techniques and
technologies (including how to optimize use of the Internet as an
educational tool); and
    3. How to reduce and simplify the paperwork required of motor
carriers and shippers in interstate transportation.
    Section 5503 mandates that the Secretary of Transportation appoint
a Working Group that is comprised of (i) individuals with expertise in
consumer affairs; (ii) educators with expertise in how people learn
most effectively; and (iii) representatives of the FMCSA regulated
interstate HHG moving industry.
    On April 20, 2016, FMCSA solicited applications and nominations of
interested persons to serve on the HHG Working Group. Applications and
nominations were due on or before May 20, 2016 [81 FR 23354].
    The Working Group will terminate one year after the date its
recommendations are submitted to the Secretary of Transportation.

Member Information

    On October 7, 2016, the Secretary appointed consumer affairs
experts Jennifer M. Gartlan (Federal Maritime Commission), Gabriel
Meyer (Surface Transportation Board), and Kelsey M. Owen (Better
Business Bureau). Representing educators with expertise in how people
learn most effectively will be Margaret McQueen (FMCSA National
Training Center). Representatives of the FMCSA regulated interstate HHG
moving industry are Francisco Acuna (Household Goods Compliance
Solutions, Inc.), Thomas A. Balzar (Ohio Trucking Association), Andrew
Friedman (PACK RAT LLC), Heather Paraino (MoveRescue), Jonathan Todd
(Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP), Charles L. White
(International Association of Movers), Chad W. Hall (All My Sons Moving
and Storage), Dan Veoni (American Moving and Storage Association),
Thomas J. Carney, (Carney McNicholas), John Esparza (Texas Trucking
Association), and Richard Corona (Enterprise Database Corporation).

Meeting Information

    Meetings will be open to the general public, except as provided
under FACA. Notice of each meeting will be published in the Federal
Register at least 15 calendar days prior to the date of the meeting.
    For the January 4-5, 2017, meeting, oral comments from the public
will be heard from 3:00 p.m.to 4:00 p.m. on January 4, 2017. Should all
public comments be exhausted prior to the end of the specified oral
comment period, the comment period will close.

    Issued on: December 15, 2016.

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

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to make minor corrective changes
to Exchange Rule 404, Series of Option Contracts Open for Trading; Rule
506, Collection and Dissemination of Quotations; Rule 806, Risk
Analysis of Market Maker Accounts; and Rule 1701, Consolidated Audit
Trail Compliance Rule--Definitions.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.miaxoptions.com/rule-filings/ at MIAX Options'
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rules 404, Series of Option
Contracts Open for Trading; Rule 506, Collection and Dissemination of
Quotations; Rule 806, Risk Analysis of Market Maker Accounts; and Rule
1701, Consolidated Audit Trail Compliance Rule--Definitions to make
minor non-substantive corrective changes.
    First, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 404, Series of
Option Contracts Open for Trading, Interpretation and Policy .08, Mini
Option Contracts, paragraph (a), to correct typographical errors in the
last sentence. Currently, the sentence reads, ``[m]ini-option contracts
may currently be listed on SPDR S&P 500 (SPY), Apple, Inc. (AAPL), SPDR
Gold Trust (GLD), Alphabet, Inc. (GOOGL) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN).''
The commas should be removed from ``Apple, Inc.'' and ``Alphabet,
Inc.,'' and a comma should be inserted in ``Amazon.com Inc.''
Therefore, the Exchange proposes to amend this Rule to correctly
reflect the names of Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc.
    Second, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 404, Series of
Option Contracts Open for Trading, Interpretation and Policy .08, Mini
Option Contracts, paragraph (b), to correct typographical errors in the
last sentence. Currently, the sentence reads, ``[f]or example, a call
series strike price to deliver 10 shares of stock at $125 per share has
a total deliverable value of $1250, and the strike price will be set at
125.'' A comma should be inserted in the number ``$1250'' and a dollar
sign should be inserted before the number ``125.'' Therefore, the
Exchange proposes to amend this Rule to replace the number ``$1250''
with ``$1,250'' and replace the number ``125'' with ``$125.''
    Third, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 506(c) to
convert the Roman numeral list item identifiers to numerical
identifiers to properly conform to the hierarchical heading scheme used
throughout the Exchange's rulebook. Paragraphs (i) and (ii) are
incorrectly numbered and should be numbered (1) and (2). Therefore, the
Exchange proposes to amend this Rule to correctly number the paragraphs
as (1) and (2).
    Fourth, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 806(b)(3) to
correct a minor typographical error in the last word of this
subparagraph. Currently, the section reads, ``[o]ptions prices shall be
estimated through use of recognized options pricing models such as, but
not limited to, Black-Scholes and Cox-Reubenstein.'' The word ``Cox-
Reubenstein'' is misspelled and the Exchange proposes to amend this
Rule to correct the spelling to ``Cox-Rubinstein.''
    Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 1701(d) to
correct a typographical error. Currently, the section reads, ``. . .
required to be reported under the Compliance Audit Trail . . .'' The
word ``Compliance'' is incorrect and should be replaced with
``Consolidated.''
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \3\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \4\ in particular, in that
they are 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, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed changes promote just and
equitable principles of trade and remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system
because the proposed rule change corrects minor typographical errors
and corrects errors in the hierarchical heading scheme to provide
uniformity in the Exchange's rulebook. The Exchange notes that the
proposed changes to Exchange Rule 404, Series of Option Contracts Open
for Trading; Rule 506, Collection and Dissemination of Quotations; Rule
806, Risk Analysis of Market Maker Accounts; and Rule 1701,
Consolidated Audit Trail Compliance Rule--Definitions do not alter the
application of each rule. As such, the proposed amendments would foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities and would remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national exchange system.
In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes will
provide greater clarity to Members \5\ and the public regarding the
Exchange's Rules. It is in the public interest for rules to be accurate
and concise so as to eliminate the potential for confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``Member'' means an individual or organization
approved to exercise the trading rights associated with a Trading
Permit. Members are deemed ``members'' under the Exchange Act. See
Exchange Rule 100.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    MIAX Options 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. The proposed rule change will
have no impact on competition as they are not designed to address any
competitive issues but rather are designed to add additional clarity to
existing rules and to remedy minor non-substantive issues in the text
of various rules identified in this proposal.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intermarket competition as the Rules apply equally
to all Exchange Members.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
\7\ thereunder, the Exchange has designated this proposal as one that
effects a change that: (i) Does not significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, does not
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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
