33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2016-0134]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations; Fajardo Offshore Challenge; Rada
Fajardo; Fajardo, Puerto Rico

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a special local
regulation on the waters of Rada Fajardo in Fajardo, Puerto Rico during
the Fajardo Offshore Challenge, a high speed boat race. The event is
scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 4, 2016. Approximately 30
high-speed power boats will be participating in the races. The special
local regulation is necessary for the safety of the race participants,
participant vessels, and the general public during the event. The
special local regulation would establish the following two areas: one
race area, where all persons and vessels, except those persons and
vessels participating in the high-speed boat races, are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within; and a
buffer zone around the race area, where all persons and vessels, except
those persons and vessels enforcing the buffer zone, are prohibited
from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within
unless authorized by the Captain of the Port San Juan or a designated
representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before March 21, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2016-0134 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On April 4, 2016, Puerto Rico Offshore Series, Inc. is sponsoring
the Fajardo Offshore Challenge, a series of high-speed boat races. The
races will be held on the waters of Rada Fajardo in Fajardo, Puerto
Rico. Approximately 30 high-speed power boats and PWCs will be
participating in the races.
    The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to ensure the safety of
vessels and the navigable waters within the regulated areas before,
during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard proposes this
rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The special local regulation encompass certain waters of Rada
Fajardo in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. The proposed special local regulation
would be enforced from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on April 4, 2016. The
special local regulation consist of the following two areas: (1) A race
area, where all persons and vessels, except those persons and vessels
participating in the high-speed boat races, are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within; and
(2) a buffer zone around the race area, where all persons and vessels,
except those persons and vessels enforcing the buffer zone, are
prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or
remaining within unless authorized by the Captain of the Port San Juan
or a designated representative. Persons and vessels may request
authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the race area or buffer zone by contacting the Captain of the Port San
Juan by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or a designated representative via
VHF radio on channel 16. If authorization to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the race area or buffer zone is granted by
the Captain of the Port San Juan or a designated representative, all
persons and vessels receiving such authorization must comply with the
instructions of the Captain of the Port San Juan or a designated
representative. The Coast Guard will provide notice of the special
local regulation by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to
Mariners, and on-scene designated representatives.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This NPRM has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the special local regulation.
The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation will be enforced
for only six hours; (2) although persons and vessels will not be able
to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the race area
and buffer zone without authorization from the Captain of the Port San
Juan or a designated representative, they may operate in the
surrounding area during the enforcement period; and (3) the Coast Guard
will provide advance notification of the Special Local Regulation to
the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of Rada
Fajardo in Fajardo encompassed within the special local regulations
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on April 4, 2016.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule would implement a
special local regulation lasting less than 6 hours that would prohibit
entry from non-participants and persons or vessels not involved in the
event from enter in, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining
within the race area or buffer zone. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(h) of
Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist and Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard

of Action on each ICR will become available via a hyperlink in the OMB
Control Number: 1625-0012.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (83 FR 9010, March 2, 2018)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited one comment. The
commenter expressed concern about the burden of the master signing all
three copies of the collection in ink. The commenter explained that
when the entire crew is discharged, the master must sign his name in
excess of 60 times. The commenter also proposed allowing digital
signatures on the collection.
    In response to the burden of signing a certificate more than once,
the Coast Guard is bound by regulation in 46 CFR 14.307(a) to require
the certificate and its copies to be ink signed. We may consider
changing this regulation at a future time. The Coast Guard will not
accept electronic signed certificates at this time because the
regulation expressly states they must be ink signed. Additionally, the
Coast Guard has not evaluated or selected any certain software for
electronic signatures from the public and do not currently have the
capabilities to implement electronic signature verification.
Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collections.

Information Collection Request

    Title: Certificate of Discharge to Merchant Mariner.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0012.
    Summary: Title 46, United States Code 10311 requires each master or
individual in charge of a vessel, to prepare a Certificate of Discharge
to Merchant Mariners for each mariner being discharged from the vessel.
These documents are used to establish evidence of sea service aboard
U.S. flagged merchant vessels for merchant mariners to upgrade their
credentials, establish proof of eligibility for union and other
benefits, and in litigation where vessel service is an issue.
    Need: The information collected provides the U.S. Coast Guard
evidence of sea service used in determining eligibility for issuance of
a merchant mariner credential, to determine eligibility for various
benefits such as medical and retirement, and to provide information to
the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) on the availability of
mariners in a time of a national emergency.
    Forms: CG-718A. Certificate of Discharge to Merchant Mariner.
    Respondents: Shipping companies, masters or individuals in charge
of a vessel.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated annual burden remains 1,478
hours a year.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: May 16, 2018.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of the revision is to add definitions in accordance with
newly promulgated federal regulations and to implement clarifying
language in state air pollution control regulations entitled "Air
Emission Regulations for the Prevention, Abatement, and Control of Air
Contaminants", APC-S-1.

The definition of “Air Cleaning Device” was amended by adding
language to clarify that the term “air pollution control device” is
synonymous with air cleaning device.

The definition of “Ozone Action Day” was amended to mean any day
between March 1 and October 31 inclusive in a calendar year.

Definition for “Manufacturing Process” was proposed to be added but
was withdrawn and was not adopted.

Definitions were added for “PM2.5” and “PM2.5 “emissions”.

Paragraph 3.4(b) relating to emissions of particulate matter from
combination boilers was amended by adding language to clarify
applicability to devices produce steam or heat water or other heat
transfer medium through indirect means.

Paragraph 3.6(a) relating to particulate matter emission limits based on
process weight rate was amended to clarify that the emission limit
applies to the manufacturing process including any associated stacks,
vents, outlets, or combination thereof.

Paragraph 3.7 “Open Burning” regarding permits from the Mississippi
Forestry Commission was updated in accordance with current requirements.

Paragraph 3.8 “Incineration” was amended by adding subparagraph c to
clarify applicability.

Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) provisions in Section 8. Paragraph 4. were
updated as of October 3, 2008, in accordance with recent federal
promulgations.

Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) provisions in Section 14. were updated
as of October 3, 2008, in accordance with recent federal promulgations.

Other proposed amendments to APC-S-1 concern adopting federal rules by
reference and are not part of the State Implementation Plan Revision.
The other amendments involve adoption, by reference, of recent
promulgations of federal regulations as of October 3, 2008, for New

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rules 5.5A, 5.8, and 24.9.

(additions are italicized; deletions are [bracketed])
* * * * *
Rules of Cboe Exchange, Inc.
* * * * *
Rule 5.5A. Select Provisions of Options Listing Procedures Plan
    (a) No change.
    (b) The exercise price of each option series listed by the Exchange
shall be fixed at a price per share which is reasonably close to the
price of the underlying equity security, Exchange Traded Fund (``ETF''
and referred to as a ``Unit'' in Rule 5.3) or Trust Issued Receipt
(``TIR'') at or about the time the Exchange determines to list such
series. Additionally,
    (i) Exercise Price Range Limitations--Except as provided in
subparagraphs (ii) through (iv) below, if the price of the underlying
security is less than or equal to $20, the Exchange shall not list new
option series with an exercise price more than 100% above or below the
price of the underlying security. However, the foregoing restriction
shall not prohibit the listing of at least three exercise prices per
expiration month in an option class. Except as provided in Rule
5.5(d)(4), if the price of the underlying security is greater than $20,
the Exchange shall not list new option series with an exercise price
more than 50% above or below the price of the underlying security.
    The price of the underlying security is measured by:
    (1) For intra-day add-on series and next-day series additions, the
daily high and low of all prices reported by all national securities
exchanges;
    (2) for new expiration months, the daily high and low of all prices
reported by all national securities exchanges on the day the Exchange
determines its preliminary notification of new series; [and]
    (3) for option series to be added as a result of pre-market
trading, the most recent share price reported by all national
securities exchanges between 7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. (Chicago time)[.];
and
    (4) for option series to be added based on trading following
regular trading hours, the most recent share price reported by all
national securities exchanges between 3:15 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Chicago

    (ii)-(vi) No change.
* * * * *
Rule 5.8. Long-Term Equity Option Series (LEAPS)
    (a) No change.
    (b) [When a new equity LEAPS series is listed, such series will be
opened for trading either when there is buying or selling interest, or
40 minutes prior to the close, whichever occurs first. No quotations
will be posted for such option series until they are opened for
trading.
    (c)] With regard to the listing of new January LEAPS series on
equity option classes, options on Exchange Traded Funds (``ETFs'' and
referred to as ``Units'' in Rule 5.3), or options on Trust Issued
Receipts (``TIRs''), the Exchange shall not add new LEAP series on a
currently listed and traded option class earlier than the Monday prior

expiration)[:
    (i) Earlier than September (which is 28 months before the
expiration), for an option class on the January expiration cycle;
    (ii) Earlier than October (which is 27 months before expiration),
for an option class on the February expiration cycle; and
    (iii) Earlier than November (which is 26 months before expiration),
for an option class on the March expiration cycle].
    Pursuant to the Options Listing Procedures Plan, exchanges that
list and trade the same equity option class, ETF option class, or TIR
option class are authorized to jointly determine and coordinate with
the Clearing Corporation on the date of introduction of new LEAP series
for that option class consistent with this paragraph ([c]b).
    ([d]c) The Exchange shall not list new LEAP series on equity option
classes, options on ETFs, or options on TIRs in a new expiration year
if the national average daily contract volume, excluding LEAP and FLEX
series, for that option class during the preceding three calendar
months is less than 1,000 contracts, unless the new LEAP series has an
expiration year that has already been listed on another exchange for
that option class. The preceding volume threshold does not apply during
the first six months an equity option class, option on an ETF, or
option on a TIR is listed on any exchange.
* * * * *
Rule 24.9. Terms of Index Option Contracts
    (a) No change.
    (b) Long-Term Index Option Series (``LEAPS'').
    (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (a)(2) above, the
Exchange may list long-term index option series that expire from 12 to
180 months from the date of issuance.
    (A) Index LEAPS may be based on either the full or reduced value of
the underlying index.
    (B) There may be up to 10 expiration months, none further out than
one-hundred eighty (180) months.
    [(B) When a new Index LEAPS series is listed, such series will be

Exchange's website (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend Rules 5.5A,
5.8, and 24.9 to conform to recently approved changes to the Options
Listing Procedures Plan (``OLPP'').\5\ The Exchange, which is one of
the Participant Exchanges \6\ to the OLPP, currently has rules that are
designed to incorporate the requirements of the OLPP. All Participant
Exchanges have similar such (essentially uniform) rules to ensure
consistency and compliance with the OLPP. The Exchange proposes to
modify such rules to reflect the recent updates as described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 82235 (December 7,
2017), 82 FR 58668 (December 13, 2017) (order approving the Fourth
Amendment to the OLPP); 81893 (October 18, 2017), 82 FR 49249
(``OLPP Notice'').
    \6\ In addition to the Exchange, the ``Participant Exchanges''
are: Box Options Exchange, LLC; Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; Cboe C2
Exchange, Inc.; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Miami International
Securities Exchange, LLC; MIAX PEARL, LLC; Nasdaq BX, Inc.; Nasdaq
GEMX, LLC; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; Nasdaq MRX, LLC; Nasdaq Options Market,
LLC; Nasdaq PHLX, LLC; NYSE American, LLC; and NYSE Arca, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Addition of Long-Term Equity Options (``LEAPS'')
    First, the OLPP has been amended to change the earliest date on
which new January LEAPS on equity options, options on Exchange Traded
Funds (``ETF''), or options on Trust Issued Receipts (``TIR'') may be
added to a single date (from three separate months). As noted in the
OLPP Notice, in the past, there were operational concerns related to
adding new January LEAPs series for all options classes on which LEAPs
were listed on a single trading day.\7\ And, the addition of new series
in a pre-electronic trading environment was a manual process. To
accommodate this, the addition of new January LEAPs series was spread
across three months (September, October, and November). Today, however,
these operational concerns related to January LEAPs have been
alleviated as new series can be added in bulk electronically. The Plan
Participants, including the Exchange, believe that moving the addition
of new January LEAPs series to no earlier than the Monday prior to the
September expiration would reduce marketplace confusion about available
January LEAPs series. Where previously January LEAPs series for options
classes on the February or March expiration cycles would not have been
available as early as January LEAPs series for options classes on the
January expiration cycle, under the proposed change, all January LEAPs
series will be available concurrently. Accordingly, to conform to this
change, the Exchange proposes to modify current Rule 5.8(c) to reflect
that new January LEAPS series on equity options classes, options on
ETFs, or options on TIRs, may not be added on a currently listed and
traded option class earlier than the Monday prior to the September
expiration (which is 28 months before the expiration).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See OLPP Notice at 49249.
    \8\ See proposed Rule 5.8(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Addition of Equity, ETF, and TIR Option Series After Regular Trading
Hours
    Second, the OLPP has been amended to allow equity, ETF, and TIR
option series to be added based on trading after regular trading hours
(i.e., after-market). As noted in the OLPP Notice, the prior version of
the OLPP did not allow for option series to be added based on trading
following regular trading hours.\9\ As such, the Exchange Participants
were are unable to add new option series that may result from trading
following regular trading hours until the next morning, depending on
the range of prices in pre-market trading, which is significant because
events that occur after regular trading hours, such as earnings
releases, often have an important impact on the price of an underlying
security. In addition, there are operational difficulties for market
participants throughout the industry adding series after system
startup. To avoid the potential burden that would result from the
inability to add series as a result of trading following regular
trading hours, the OLPP was amended to allow an additional category by
which the price of an underlying security may be measured.
Specifically, to conform to the amended OLPP, the Exchange proposes to
add subparagraph (b)(i)(4) to Rule 5.5A to provide that ``for option
series to be added based on trading following regular trading hours,''
the price of the underlying security is measured by ``the most recent
share price reported by all national securities exchanges between 3:15
p.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time).'' \10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See OLPP Notice at 49250.
    \10\ See proposed Rule 5.5A(b)(i)(4). The Exchange proposes to
relocate ``and'' from subparagraph (2) to (3) to conform to the
change. See proposed Rule 5.5A(b)(i)(2) and (3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical Changes
    The Exchange proposes to modify Rules to delete now obsolete
operational language, which dates back to when LEAPs were first
adopted. This language provides that when a new equity or index LEAPS
series, as applicable, is listed, such series will be opened for
trading either when there is buying or selling interest, or 40 minutes
prior to the close, whichever occurs first. No quotations will be
posted for such option series until they are opened for trading. The
Exchange proposes to delete this language because when this language
was adopted, LEAPs were not opened for trading until late in the
trading day unless there was buying or selling interest.\11\ Today,
however, technological improvements allow the Exchange to open all LEAP
series at the same time as all other series in an option class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See current Rules 5.8(b) and 24.9(b)(1)(B). The proposed
rule change amends a cross-reference to current Rule 5.8(c)
(proposed Rule 5.8(b)), and changes current Rule 5.8(d) to proposed
Rule 5.8(c), to conform to the deletion of current Rule 5.8(b). See
proposed Rule 5.8(b) and (c). The proposed rule change splits
current Rule 24.9(b)(1)(A) into two provisions (proposed Rule
24.9(b)(1)(A) and (B)) to separate two different rule provisions.
See proposed Rule 24.9(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\12\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \13\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \14\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \14\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the proposed rule change, which conforms to the
recently adopted provisions of the OLPP, as amended, allows the
Exchange to continue to list extended far term option series that have
been viewed as beneficial to traders, investors and public customers.
Accordingly, the Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with
the Act because it will allow the Exchange to list all January 2021
expiration series on the Monday prior to the September 2018 expiration.
Moreover, this change would simplify the process for adding new January
LEAP options series and reduce potential for investor confusion because
all new January LEAP options would be made available beginning at the
same time, consistent with the amended OLPP. The Exchange notes that
this proposal does not propose any new provisions that have not already
been approved by the Commission in the amended OLPP, but instead
maintains series listing rules that conform to the amended OLPP.
    The proposal to permit series to be added based on after-market
trading is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national
market system, by allowing the Exchange to make series available for
trading with reduced operational difficulties. The Exchange notes that
this proposed change, which is consistent with the amended OLPP should
provide market participants with earlier notice regarding what options
series will be available for trading the following day, and should help
to enhance investors' ability to plan their options trading. The
Exchange also believes that the proposed technical changes, including
deleting obsolete language and reorganizing and consolidating the rule,
promote just and equitable principles of trade, foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system.

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

    Cboe Options does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, the Exchange
believes that by conforming Exchange rules to the amended OLPP, the
Exchange would promote regulatory clarity and consistency, thereby
reducing burdens on the marketplace and facilitating investor
protection. The Exchange believes that adopting rules, which it
anticipates will likewise be adopted by Participant Exchanges, would
allow for continued competition between Exchange market participants
trading similar products as their counterparts on other exchanges,
while at the same time allowing the Exchange to continue to compete for
order flow with other exchanges in option issues.

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 on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \18\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\19\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission notes that
the Exchange's proposal would conform the Exchange's rules to the
amended OLPP, which the Commission previously approved.\20\
Accordingly, the Commission believes that the proposal raises no new or
novel regulatory issues and waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The Commission therefore waives the 30-day operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\21\

    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \20\ See OLPP Notice, supra note 5.
    \21\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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 under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \22\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
