Office of Environmental Information; Pause the Development of the
Draft Quality Standard for Environmental Data Collection, Production,
and Use by Non-EPA (External) Organizations and Two Associated QA
Handbooks

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency published a document in
the Federal Register of December 26, 2012, concerning request for
comments for the Draft Quality Standard for Environmental Data
Collection, Production, and Use by Non-EPA (External) Organizations and
two associated QA Handbooks. EPA has decided to pause the development
of the draft Quality Standards for Data Collection, Production and Use.
This decision was made after careful consideration of the comments
received from external stakeholders and discussion with our internal
stakeholders.
    This pause will allow the Agency to revise the existing EPA Quality
Policy and Procedure to integrate the relevant sections of the EPA
Order 5360.1, EPA Quality Manual and draft Quality Standards. At the
conclusion of this revision, we will revise the draft Quality Standards
to align with the revised Quality Policy and Procedure and integrate
the relevant sections of our existing QA Requirements documents (R-2,
R-5). Throughout the process, EPA plans to solicit input from both
internal and external stakeholders and provide frequent status updates.
We believe this approach will address many of the concerns raised by
our stakeholders during the public comment period for the Quality
Standard.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31424; Amdt. No. 4005]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective April 27, 2022. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of April 27, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30. 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
[email protected] or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:

Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg 29 Room 104, Oklahoma
City, OK 73169. Telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA

form documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment
under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The
applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B, when
required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Docket No. NHTSA-2012-0118; Notice 2]

Mazda North American Operations, Grant of Petition for Decision
of Inconsequential Noncompliance

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Grant of Petition.

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

SUMMARY: Mazda North American Operations (MNAO),\1\ on behalf of Mazda
Motor Corporation of Hiroshima, Japan (Mazda),\2\ has determined that
certain Mazda brand motor vehicles manufactured between 2007 and 2012
for sale or lease in Puerto Rico, do not fully comply with paragraph
S4.5 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, Tire
Pressure Monitoring Systems. MNAO has filed an appropriate report
pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility
and Reports, dated June 21, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Mazda North American Operations is a U.S. company that
manufactures and imports motor vehicles.
    \2\ Mazda Motor Corporation is a Japanese company that
manufactures motor vehicles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and the rule
implementing those provisions at 49 CFR part 556, MNAO has petitioned
for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49
U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Notice of receipt of the
petition was published, with a 30-day public comment period, on October
24, 2012 in the Federal Register (77 FR 65051). No comments were
received. To view the petition and all supporting documents log onto
the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) Web site at: http://www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online search instructions to
locate docket number ``NHTSA-2012-0118.''
    Contact Information: For further information on this decision
contact Mr. Harry Thompson, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone
(202)366-5289, facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Vehicles Involved: Affected are approximately 16,748 Mazda brand
motor vehicles manufactured between 2007 and 2012 for sale or lease in
Puerto Rico* * *
    Rule Text: Section S4.5 of FMVSS No. 138 specifically states:
    S4.5 Written instructions.

    (a) Beginning on September 1, 2006, the owner's manual in each
vehicle certified as complying with S4.5 must provide an image of
the Low Tire Pressure Telltale symbol (and an image of the TPMS
Malfunction Telltale warning (``TPMS''), if a dedicated telltale is
utilized for this function)with the following statement in English:
    Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
    As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability...

    Summary of MNAO's Analyses: MNAO explains that the noncompliance is
that certain Mazda brand motor vehicles sold in Puerto Rico were not
delivered with the instruction statements required by paragraph S4.5(a)
of FMVSS No 138 written in English. The instructions were provided in
Spanish as part of the Spanish language version of the vehicle owner's
manual provided with the vehicles at first sale; however, no English
version owner's manuals were provided.
    MNAO stated its belief that while the subject motor vehicles were
delivered to customers in Puerto Rico with owner's manuals that did not
include the statement as required by paragraph

S4.5(a) of FMVSS No. 138 in English, it is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons:
    1. All affected owner's manuals contain accurate Spanish
translations of the information.
    2. In Puerto Rico, Spanish is the universally prevalent language.
According to a U.S. Census done by the Census Bureau in 2010, 95.7% of
Puerto Rico's population speaks Spanish as their primary language.
    3. English owner's manuals for Mazda motor vehicles manufactured on
or after 2002 can be downloaded from MNAO's Web site or upon request
through MNAO dealerships and is available for customers in Puerto Rico
free of charge.
    4. MNAO has not received any complaints or claims in Puerto Rico
with regards to the language of the owner's manuals.
    MNAO has additionally informed NHTSA that it has corrected the
noncompliance so that all future production vehicles will comply with
FMVSS No. 138.
    In summation, MNAO believes that the described noncompliance of the
subject vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that
its petition, to exempt from providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted.
    NHTSA Decision: NHTSA agrees with MNAO that the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. MNAO has provided sufficient
documentation that the language in the Owner's Manual is the primary
language for Puerto Rico and does not present a safety risk.
    In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has determined that MNAO
has met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 138
noncompliance in the vehicles identified in MNAO's Noncompliance
Information Report is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, MNAO's petition is hereby granted and MNAO is exempted
from the obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for,
that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this decision
only applies to approximately 16,748 vehicles that MNAO no longer
controlled at the time that it determined that a noncompliance existed
in the subject vehicles. However, the granting of this petition does
not relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the
sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into
interstate commerce of the noncompliant vehicles under their control
after MNAO notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

Airworthiness Directives; Viking Aircraft Limited Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Viking Air Limited Model DHC-3 airplanes. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe
condition as fatigue damage of the wing strut lug fitting components
and the fuselage to wing strut attachment (tie-bar). This AD requires
determining service life limits

for the wing strut fitting on the main spar and for the tie-bar and
following instructions for removal and replacement of affected parts.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 24, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of January 24,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Viking Air Limited
Model DHC-3 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
June 28, 2021 (86 FR 33916). The NPRM was prompted by MCAI originated
by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada.
Transport Canada has issued AD CF-2017-29, dated August 24, 2017
(referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for Viking Air Limited Model DHC-3 airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    It has been determined that the current maintenance program does
not adequately address potential fatigue damage of the wing strut
lug fitting components or the fuselage to wing strut attachment (Tie
Bar). Affected parts must be replaced before specified air time
limits are reached to avoid fatigue cracking of the affected parts.
Cracking which is not detected may compromise the structural
integrity of the wing or the Tie-Bar.
    Fatigue damage occurs more rapidly on aeroplanes that are
operated at higher gross weights. For that reason, the corrective
actions of this [Transport Canada] AD must be accomplished sooner
for aeroplanes that have been certified for operation at higher
gross weights.
    Fatigue damage also occurs more rapidly on aeroplanes that are
operated below 2000 feet above ground level (AGL) over land due to
higher and more frequent gust and maneuvering loads. Low level
flights over water are not known to produce increased fatigue damage
on the DHC-3. For that reason, the corrective actions of this
[Transport Canada] AD must be accomplished sooner for aeroplanes
that have been operated at low altitudes over land.

    This condition, if not addressed, could result in cracking and
failure of the structural integrity of the wing or the tie-bar.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0214.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require determining service life
limits for the wing strut fitting on the main spar and for the tie-bar
and following instructions for removal and replacement of affected
parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from two commenters. The commenters were
Talkeetna Air Taxi Inc. (Talkeetna Air) and Rust's Flying Service/K2
Aviation (Rust's Flying Service). The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request Regarding Equivalent Air Time

    Both commenters requested the FAA change the proposed method of
calculating equivalent air time by doubling the total hours on each
component. Talkeetna Air requested the FAA allow increased visual and
non-destructive testing inspections instead. Talkeetna Air and Rust's
Flying Service suggested the FAA allow operators to calculate by using
the formula and estimating the altitudes at which an airplane has
operated, as provided in the service information, instead of by
assuming all operations occur below 2,000 feet. Rust's Flying Service
stated it has data to verify the operating altitudes of its aircraft.
    As the FAA explained in the NPRM, there is no regulatory
requirement for owners or operators to record or maintain the operating
altitude history of an airplane. As a result, this AD requires
calculating the compliance time by assuming all operations occurred
below 2,000 feet AGL (and therefore doubling the total hours). However,
operators may request approval to determine equivalent air time
differently as an alternative method of compliance under the provisions
of paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. The FAA did not change this AD based on
this comment.

Request Regarding Costs of Compliance

    Talkeetna Air requested that the FAA adjust its estimated costs of
compliance. The commenter stated that the hourly rate and number of
estimated labor hours is too low for what would be required.
    The FAA obtained the 300-hour labor time estimated in the NPRM from
Viking Air Limited DHC-3 Otter Service Bulletin Number V3/0008,
Revision NC, dated February 9, 2017. The FAA verified this number with
Viking Air Limited and confirmed it is valid.
    The FAA Office of Aviation Policy and Plans provides the labor rate
of $85 per work-hour for the FAA to use when estimating the labor costs
of complying with AD requirements.
    The FAA did not change this AD based on this comment.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any
comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting
this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is adopted as proposed
in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Viking DHC-3 Otter Service Bulletin Number V3/
0008, Revision NC, dated February 9, 2017. The service information
specifies determining service life limits for the wing strut fitting on
the main spar and for the tie-bar and contains instructions for removal
and replacement. The FAA also reviewed De Havilland Aircraft of Canada,
Limited DHC-3 Otter Service Bulletin Number 3/37, Revision B, dated
October 8, 1982. The service information specifies instructions for
removing and replacing the fuselage to wing strut attachment tie-bar.
This service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI requires calculating the compliance time by using a
formula and estimating the altitudes at which an airplane has operated.
The MCAI also instructs operators to assume operations below 2,000 feet
AGL when the operating altitude of the airplane is unknown. Because the
FAA has no regulatory requirement for owners or operators to record or
maintain the operating altitude history of an airplane, this AD
requires calculating the compliance time by assuming all operations
occurred below 2,000 feel AGL.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 41 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA also estimates that it would take about 300 work-hours per
airplane to replace both the wing strut fitting and the tie-bar. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $5,599 per airplane.
    Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $1,275,059 or $31,099 per airplane.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59147; File No. SR-CBOE-2008-123]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt a
Trade, Flash and Cancel Order Type for CBSX

December 22, 2008.
    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 December 3, 2008, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' or the ``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 prepared by CBOE. 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 filing proposes to adopt a Trade, Flash and Cancel order type
for the CBOE Stock Exchange (``CBSX''). The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/
legal), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at the
Commission.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those 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 parts 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 revise CBSX Rule
51.8 to adopt a Trade, Flash and Cancel order type. This is a market or
marketable limit order to buy or sell that is to be executed in whole
or in part on CBSX immediately and automatically after it is received
by the CBSX System without delay for any purpose except that it will be
electronically exposed pursuant to Rule 52.6 prior to cancellation.
Rule 52.6 provides that market or limit orders shall not be executed at
a price that would cause a trade-through of a Protected Quotation as
defined in Rule 611 of Regulation NMS; instead, these orders are
``flashed'' to CBSX Traders \3\ for potential execution at a price that
would not cause a trade-through.\4\ This new order type would allow
users to send orders to CBSX for execution even when CBSX is not the
NBBO without requiring CBSX to seek an NBBO fill for these orders at
away trading centers when price improvement on CBSX is not achieved.
Thus, users can seek fills on CBSX while maintaining control over
routing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``CBSX Trader'' is defined in CBOE Rule 50.1. See e-mail
from Angelo Evangelou, Assistant General Counsel, CBOE, to Andrew
Madar, Attorney-Advisor, Commission, dated December 12, 2008.
    \4\ If a flash responder attempts to trade against the order by
matching the flash price (the NBBO price at the time the order was
received by the CBSX System), the order will be executed unless the
system determines at the point of execution that the flash price is
worse than a revised NBBO in which case the order will be cancelled.
See e-mail from Angelo Evangelou, Assistant General Counsel, CBOE,
to Michael J. Gaw, Assistant Director, and Andrew Madar, Attorney-
Advisor, Commission, dated December 19, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, by offering users
an enhanced price improvement feature and greater control over order
routing, it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, and serve to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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

    CBOE does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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 CBOE consents, the Commission will:
    (A) by order approve such proposed rule change; or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments
