SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at
Corsicana, TX. The FAA is proposing this action due to an airspace
review conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Powell non-
directional beacon (NDB). The geographic coordinates of the airport
would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 11, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at C. David Campbell Field-Corsicana Municipal
Airport, Corsicana, TX, to support instrument flight rule operations at
this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2022-0692/
Airspace Docket No. 22-ASW-11.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by amending the
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to
within a 6.6-mile (increased from a 6.5-mile) radius of C. David
Campbell Field-Corsicana Municipal Airport, Corsicana, TX; removing the
Powell NDB and the associated extensions from the airspace legal
description; removing the city associated with the airport from the
airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order JO
7400.2N, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; and updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review conducted as part
of the decommissioning of the Powell NDB which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

    Title: NSPS for the Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1061.10; OMB Control Number 2060-0037.
    ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved
collection that is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2006. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The NSPS for the Phosphate Fertilizer Industry, published
at 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X, were proposed on October
22, 1974, and promulgated on August 6, 1975. These standards apply to
each wet-process phosphoric acid plant, each superphosphoric acid
plant, each granular diammonium phosphate plant, and each triple
superphosphate plant, having a design capacity of more than 15 tons of
equivalent phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) feed per
calendar day. These standards also apply to granular triple
superphosphate storage facilities.
    Owners or operators of affected facilities described must make the
following one-time-only initial notifications and reports on the
results of the initial performance test. Owners or operators are also
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. The owners or operators must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a monitoring device which continuously measures and
permanently records the total pressure drop across the scrubbing
system.
    Semiannual reports are required. The owner or operator subject to
the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these
measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the
date of such measurements. Responses to the collection of information
are mandatory and are being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X. These notifications, reports and
records are essential in determining compliance.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 46
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Phosphate Fertilizer Industry.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 13.
    Frequency of Response: Initial and Semiannual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,194 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $388,363, which includes $0 annual
Start Up costs, $320,190 annualized operations & maintenance (O&M)
costs, and $68,173 annualized labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens. It is determined that the number of respondents subject to
the rules addressed by this ICR is 13, with no additional new sources
expected over the three-year period of this ICR.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I'm writing you to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") proposed rule deeming tobacco products to be subjected to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On my own behalf, I want to request that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important to me, as a person using electronic cigarettes. The Proposed Rule asks a lot of questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but I simply don't have the time to investigate and give a solid answer since there is limited time for such actions to be fully completed. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

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 Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule.\4\ More
specifically, the Exchange is proposing to make changes to the section
``Regulatory Fees.'' Under the Exchange's Regulatory Fees, the Exchange
charges a fee to firms for which the Exchange is the Designated
Examining Authority (``DEA'') called the ``Firm Designated Examining
Authority Fee.'' Under such fee, the Exchange currently charges these
Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs'') for which the Exchange is the DEA
$0.40 per $1,000 of gross revenue as reported on quarterly FOCUS
reports filed by such TPHs (excluding commodity commission revenue). In
addition, this fee is subject to a monthly minimum fee of $1,000 per
month for Clearing TPHs and $275 for non-Clearing TPHs. The Exchange is
proposing to increase this fee from $.40 per $1,000 of gross revenue to
$0.60 per $1,000 of gross revenue. In addition, the Exchange is
proposing to increase the monthly minimum fee for Clearing TPHs from
$1,000 to $1,500 and the monthly minimum fee for non-Clearing TPHs from
$275 to $400. New proposed text has been added to the ``Regulatory
Fees'' section of the Fees Schedule to reflect this charge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Exchange Rule 2.1, which authorizes fees to Participants
to be ``fixed from time to time by the Exchange.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has determined that these changes are necessary to
increase the revenue of the Exchange for the purpose of continuing to
adequately fund its regulatory functions. Specifically, the Exchange is
proposing to increase this fee in order to help more closely cover the
costs of regulating these TPHs for which the Exchange is the DEA. The
proposed modifications are reasonable as they have never been changed
to reflect growing regulatory costs.\5\ In addition, the Exchange
believes the proposed changes to the Fees Schedule are equitably
allocated to all TPHs in which the Exchange is the DEA as all will be
charged based upon their gross revenue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-63175 (October
25, 2010), 75 FR 66813 (October 29, 2010) (SR-C2-2010-006)
(immediately effective rule establishing, among other things, the
Designated Examining Authority Fee of $.40 per $1,000 of gross
revenue as reported on quarterly FOCUS reports filed and the firm
FOCUS Minimum Monthly Fee of $1000 for clearing members and $275 for
non-clearing members).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed changes are to take effect on January 1, 2013.
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.\6\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \7\ 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 facilitation
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
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\8\ which provides that Exchange rules may
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using
its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the proposed rule change is equitable and not
unfairly discriminatory as it is allocated to all Exchange DPMs and
TPHs for which the Exchange is the DEA equally based upon their gross
revenue. In addition, the fee is reasonable as it is a slight increase
to the current Exchange fee which has not recently been updated to
reflect current regulatory costs.\9\ The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change will protect investors and the public interest by
increasing the Exchange's regulatory revenue to allow the Exchange to
more adequately perform its regulatory functions and, thus, also allow
the Exchange to better prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange also believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(1) of the Act,\10\ which provides that the
Exchange be organized and have the capacity to be able to carry out the
purposes of the Act and to enforce compliance by the Exchange's TPHs
and persons associated with its TPHs with the Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and the rules of the Exchange. The proposed
rule change is designed to fund the Exchange's regulatory program, and,
more specifically, to help more closely cover the costs of regulating
Exchange DPMs and those TPHs for which the Exchange is the DEA. Thus,
the proposed changes will help the Exchange to enforce compliance of
its TPHs with the Act and Exchange rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    C2 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. In particular, the proposed
rule change will serve to aid the Exchange in fulfilling its
obligations as a Self-Regulatory Organization by

further funding the Exchange regulatory program.

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 foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\
thereunder. 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

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
of Proposed Rule Change Regarding Certain Investments of the PGIM Ultra
Short Bond ETF

October 25, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on October 12, 2018, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes certain changes regarding investments of the
PGIM Ultra Short Bond ETF (the ``Fund''), a series of PGIM ETF Trust
(the ``Trust''), and shares of which are currently listed and traded on
the Exchange under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E (``Managed Fund Shares'').
The proposed change is available on the Exchange's website at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes certain changes, described below under
``Application of Generic Listing Requirements,'' regarding investments
of the Fund. The shares (``Shares'') of the Fund are currently listed
and traded on the Exchange under Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule
8.600-E,\4\ which provides generic criteria applicable to the listing
and trading of Managed Fund Shares.\5\ The Commission has previously
approved a proposed rule change regarding certain changes that would
result in the portfolio for the Fund not meeting all of the ``generic''
listing requirements of Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E
applicable to the listing of Managed Fund Shares.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Shares of the Fund commenced trading on the Exchange on
April 10, 2018 pursuant to Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
    \5\ A Managed Fund Share is a security that represents an
interest in an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1) (the ``1940 Act'') organized
as an open-end investment company or similar entity that invests in
a portfolio of securities selected by its investment adviser
consistent with its investment objectives and policies. In contrast,
an open-end investment company that issues Investment Company Units,
listed and traded on the Exchange under NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(3),
seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the
price and yield performance of a specific foreign or domestic stock
index, fixed income securities index or combination thereof.
    \6\ See Amendment No. 1 to SR-NYSEArca-2018-15, available at
https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2018-15/nysearca201815-3510337-162292.pdf (``Prior Amendment''); Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 83319 (May 24, 2018), 83 FR 25097 (May 31, 2018) (SR-
NYSEArca-2018-15), (Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change, as
Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto, to Continue Listing and Trading
Shares of the PGIM Ultra Short Bond ETF Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-
E) (``Approval Order'' and, together with the Prior Amendment, the
``Prior Releases''). The Prior Releases stated that the Fund's
portfolio would meet all requirements of Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca
Rule 8.600-E except for those set forth in Commentary .01(a)(1),
Commentary .01(b)(4) and Commentary .01(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PGIM Investments LLC (the ``Adviser'') is the investment adviser
for the Fund. PGIM Fixed Income (the ``Subadviser''), a unit of PGIM,
Inc., is the subadviser to the Fund. The Adviser and the Subadviser are
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Trust is registered under the 1940 Act. On March 26,
2018, the Trust filed with the Commission Pre-Effective Amendment
No. 1 to the Trust's registration statement on Form N-1A under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a) (``Securities Act''), and
under the 1940 Act relating to the Fund (File Nos. 333-222469 and
811-23324) (``Registration Statement''). The Trust will file an
amendment to the Registration Statement as necessary to conform to
the representations in this filing. The description of the operation
of the Trust and the Fund herein is based, in part, on the
Registration Statement. In addition, the Commission has issued an
order granting certain exemptive relief to the Trust under the1940
Act. See Investment Company Act Release No. 31095 (June 24, 2014)
(File No. 812-14267).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As stated in the Prior Releases, the Fund may invest in derivatives
to (i) provide exposure to the ``Principal Investment Instruments'' (as
defined in the Prior Releases), and (ii) enhance returns, manage
portfolio duration, or manage the risk of securities price
fluctuations. Derivatives that the Fund may enter into include only:
Over-the-counter (``OTC'') deliverable and non-deliverable foreign
exchange forward contracts; listed futures contracts on one

or more Principal Investment Instruments securities (including Treasury
securities and foreign government securities), indices relating to one
or more Principal Investment Instruments, interest rates, financial
rates and currencies; listed or OTC options (including puts or calls)
or swaptions (i.e., options to enter into a swap) on one or more
Principal Investment Instruments, indices relating to one or more
Principal Investment Instruments, interest rates, financial rates,
currencies and futures contracts on one or more Principal Investment
Instruments; and listed or OTC swaps (including total return swaps) on
securities, indices relating to one or more Principal Investment
Instruments, interest rates, financial rates, currencies and debt and
credit default swaps on single names, baskets and indices on one or
more Principal Investment Instruments (both as protection seller and as
protection buyer).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Because the markets for the Principal Investment
Instruments, or the Principal Investment Instruments themselves, may
be unavailable or cost prohibitive as compared to derivative
instruments, suitable derivative transactions may be an efficient
alternative for the Fund to obtain the desired asset exposure to
Principal Investment Instruments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Investments in derivative instruments will be made in accordance
with the 1940 Act and consistent with the Fund's investment objective
and policies.

Application of Generic Listing Requirements

    The Exchange proposes that up to 50% of the Fund's assets
(calculated as the aggregate gross notional value) may be invested in
OTC derivatives, including forwards, OTC options and OTC swaps, that
are used to reduce currency, interest rate, credit or duration risk
arising from the Fund's investments (that is, ``hedge''). The Fund's
investments in OTC derivatives, other than OTC derivatives used to
hedge the Fund's portfolio against currency, interest rate, credit or
duration risk will be limited to 20% of the assets in the Fund's
portfolio, calculated as the aggregate gross notional value of such OTC
derivatives.
    The Exchange is submitting this proposed rule change because the
change described in the preceding paragraph would not conform to the
Exchange's representations regarding the Fund's portfolio in the Prior
Amendment. In the Prior Amendment, the Exchange stated that, other than
Commentary .01(a)(1), Commentary .01(b)(4) and Commentary .01(b)(5),
the Shares of the Fund will conform to the initial and continued
listing criteria under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E. However, the proposed
change described in the preceding paragraph would not meet the
requirements set forth in Commentary .01(e).\9\ Specifically, the
aggregate gross notional value of the Fund's investments in OTC
derivatives may exceed 20% of Fund assets, calculated as the aggregate
gross notional value of such OTC derivatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Commentary .01(e) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E provides that a
portfolio may hold OTC derivatives, including forwards, options and
swaps on commodities, currencies and financial instruments (e.g.,
stocks, fixed income, interest rates, and volatility) or a basket or
index of any of the foregoing; however, on both an initial and
continuing basis, no more than 20% of the assets in the portfolio
may be invested in OTC derivatives. For purposes of calculating this
limitation, a portfolio's investment in OTC derivatives will be
calculated as the aggregate gross notional value of the OTC
derivatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Adviser and Subadviser believe that it is important to provide
the Fund with additional flexibility to manage risk associated with its
investments. Depending on market conditions, it may be critical that
the Fund be able to utilize available OTC derivatives for this purpose
to attempt to reduce impact of currency, interest rate, credit or
duration fluctuations on Fund assets. OTC derivatives provide the Fund
with additional flexibility as well as a more precise means to
effectively attempt to reduce currency, interest rate, credit or
duration fluctuations on Fund assets. Generally, OTC derivatives can be
customized to a greater degree than exchange-traded derivatives and can
provide a better hedge on Fund assets as well as allow for more control
over the duration of the hedge which can also mitigate trading costs.
Therefore, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to apply a limit of
up to 50% of the Fund's assets to the Fund's investments in OTC
derivatives (calculated as the aggregate gross notional value of such
OTC derivatives), including forwards, options and swaps, that are used
for hedging purposes, as described above.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Commission has previously approved an exception from
requirements set forth in Commentary .01(e) relating to investments
in OTC derivatives similar to those proposed with respect to the
Fund in Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80657 (May 11, 2017), 82
FR 22702 (May 17, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-09) (Notice of Filing of
Amendment No. 2 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, Regarding
Investments of the Janus Short Duration Income ETF Listed Under NYSE
Arca Equities Rule 8.600). See also, Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 84047 (September 6, 2018), 83 FR 46200 (September 12, 2018) (SR-
NASDAQ-2017-128) (Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 3 and Order
Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified
by Amendment No. 3, to List and Trade Shares of the Western Asset
Total Return ETF), in which the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC proposed
that there would be no limit on the fund's investments in Interest
Rate and Currency Derivatives, and that the aggregate weight of all
OTC Derivatives other than Interest Rate and Currency Derivatives
will not exceed 10% of the fund's assets).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Adviser and Subadviser represent that deviations from the
generic requirements are necessary for the Fund to achieve its
investment objective in a manner that is cost-effective and that
maximizes investors' returns because OTC derivatives generally provide
the Fund with more flexibility to negotiate the exact exposure and
duration that the Fund requires, and minimize trading costs because OTC
derivatives are not subject to costs of rolling that are associated
with listed derivatives. Further, the proposed alternative requirements
are narrowly tailored to allow the Fund to achieve its investment
objective in manner that is consistent with the principles of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act. As a result, it is in the public interest to
approve listing and trading of Shares of the Fund on the Exchange
pursuant to the requirements set forth herein.
    Because the Fund, in furtherance of its investment objective, may
invest a substantial percentage of its investments in Principal
Investment Instruments with a maturity of one year or more, the 20%
limit in Commentary .01(e) to Rule 8.600 could result in the Fund being
unable to fully pursue its investment objective while attempting to
sufficiently mitigate investment risks. The inability of the Fund to
adequately hedge its holdings would effectively limit the Fund's
ability to invest in certain instruments, or could expose the Fund to
additional investment risk. For example, if the Fund's assets (on a
gross notional value basis) were $100 million and no listed derivative
were suitable to hedge the Fund's risk, under the generic listing
criteria, the Fund would be limited to holding up to $20 million gross
notional value in OTC derivatives ($100 million * 20%). Accordingly,
the maximum amount the Fund would be able to invest in Principal
Investment Instruments with a maturity of one year or more while
remaining adequately hedged would be $20 million. The Fund then would
hold $60 million in assets that could not be hedged, other than with
listed derivatives, which, as noted above, might not be sufficiently
tailored to the specific instruments to be hedged.
    In addition, by applying the 20% limitation in Commentary .01(e) to
Rule 8.600, the Fund would be less able to protect its holdings from
more than one risk simultaneously. For example, if the Fund's assets
(on a gross notional basis) were $100 million and the Fund held $20
million in Principal Investment Instruments with a maturity of one year

or more with two types of risks (e.g., duration and credit risk) which
could not be hedged using listed derivatives, the Fund would be faced
with the choice of either holding $20 million aggregate gross notional
value in OTC derivatives to mitigate one of the risks while passing the
other risk to its shareholders, or, for example, holding $10 million
aggregate gross notional value in OTC derivatives on each of the risks
while passing the remaining portion of each risk to the Fund's
shareholders.
    The Exchange accordingly believes that it is appropriate and in the
public interest to approve continued listing and trading of Shares of
the Fund on the Exchange notwithstanding that the Fund would not meet
the requirements of Commentary .01(e) to Rule 8.600-E. The Exchange
notes that, other than Commentary .01(e) and, as described in the Prior
Releases, with the exception of the requirements of Commentary
.01(a)(1), Commentary .01(b)(4) and Commentary .01(b)(5), the Shares of
the Fund will conform to the initial and continued listing criteria
under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
    The Adviser and Subadviser represent that the proposed change
described above is consistent with the Fund's investment objective, and
will further assist the Adviser and Subadviser to achieve such
investment objective. Except for the changes noted above, all other
representations made in the Prior Releases remain unchanged. All terms
referenced but not defined in this proposed rule change are defined in
the Prior Releases.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act that an exchange have
rules that are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
    The Exchange believes that it is appropriate and in the public
interest to allow the Fund, for hedging purposes only, to exceed the
20% limit in Commentary .01(e) to Rule 8.600 of portfolio assets that
may be invested in OTC derivatives to a maximum of 50% of Fund assets
(calculated as the gross notional value). As noted above, the Adviser
and Subadviser believe that it is in the best interests of the Fund's
shareholders for the Fund to be allowed to reduce the currency,
interest rate, credit or duration risk arising from the Fund's
investments using the most efficient financial instruments. While
certain risks can be hedged via listed derivatives, OTC derivatives
(such as forwards, options and swaps) can be customized to hedge
against precise risks. Accordingly, the Adviser and Subadviser believe
that OTC derivatives may frequently be a more efficient hedging vehicle
than listed derivatives. Depending on market conditions, it may be
critical that the Fund be able to utilize available OTC derivatives for
this purpose to attempt to reduce impact of currency, interest rate,
credit or duration fluctuations on Fund assets. Therefore, the Exchange
believes that increasing the percentage limit in Commentary .01(e), as
described above, to the Fund's investments in OTC derivatives,
including forwards, options and swaps, that are used specifically for
hedging purposes would help protect investors and the public interest.
    The proposed rule change is designed to perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest in that it will facilitate the continued listing and
trading of an actively-managed exchange-traded product that, through
permitted use of an increased level of OTC derivatives above that
currently permitted by the generic listing requirements of Commentary
.01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, will enhance competition among market
participants, to the benefit of investors and the marketplace.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purpose of the Act. The Exchange notes that the
proposed rule change will facilitate a change to the Fund's investments
similar to investments of another actively managed ETF, shares of which
have been approved for Exchange listing and trading,\11\ that
principally holds fixed income securities, and that will enhance
competition among market participants, to the benefit of investors and
the marketplace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule

Amendment to Existing Validated End-User Authorizations in the
People's Republic of China: National Semiconductor Corporation and
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to remove National
Semiconductor Corporation (National Semiconductor) from the list of
``Validated End-Users'' and ``Eligible Destinations'' in the People's
Republic of China (PRC). BIS also removes one facility from the list of
``Eligible Destinations'' for Semiconductor Manufacturing International
Corporation (SMIC) in the PRC, the Semiconductor Manufacturing
International (Chengdu) Corporation, Assembly and Testing (AT2)
Facility (SMIC AT2 facility). These amendments are due to material
changes in the ownership and control of National Semiconductor and the
SMIC AT2 facility. These amendments are not the result of activities of
concern by National Semiconductor or SMIC and do not establish any new
license requirements or licensing policies for exports, reexports, or
transfers (in-country) of items to National Semiconductor, SMIC, or
their facilities.

DATES: This rule is effective November 9, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Authorization Validated End-User (VEU)

    BIS amended the EAR in a final rule on June 19, 2007 (72 FR 33646),
creating a new authorization for ``validated end-users'' (VEUs) located
in eligible destinations to which eligible items may

be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) under a general
authorization instead of a license, in conformance with section 748.15
of the EAR. VEUs may obtain eligible items that are on the Commerce
Control List, set forth in Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR,
without having to wait for their suppliers to obtain export licenses
from BIS. Eligible items may include commodities, software, and
technology, except those controlled for missile technology or crime
control reasons.
    The VEUs listed in Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 of the EAR were
reviewed and approved by the U.S. Government in accordance with the
provisions of section 748.15 and Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to Part 748 of
the EAR.

Amendment to Existing Validated End-User Authorizations for the PRC

Removal of VEU Authorization for National Semiconductor Corporation
(National Semiconductor)

    In a rule published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2007 (72
FR 59164), BIS designated National Semiconductor as a VEU and
identified three of its facilities (NSC VEU facilities) as ``Eligible
Destinations,'' thus authorizing exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) of certain eligible items to the three eligible facilities
under Authorization VEU. Due to a material change in the ownership and
control of National Semiconductor, National Semiconductor asked that
its VEU authorization be ended. Accordingly, consistent with section
748.15 of the EAR, BIS now amends Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 of the
EAR to remove National Semiconductor from the list of approved VEUs and
eligible destinations. As a result of this rule, National Semiconductor
Corporation and the NSC VEU facilities at the following addresses are
no longer authorized to receive items under Authorization VEU:

National Semiconductor Hong Kong Limited, Beijing Representative
Office, Room 604, CN Resources Building, No. 8 Jianggumenbei A,
Beijing, China, 100005.
National Semiconductor Hong Kong Limited, Shanghai Representative
Office, Room 903-905 Central Plaza, No. 227 Huangpi Road North,
Shanghai, China, 200003.
National Semiconductor Hong Kong Limited, Shenzhen Representative
Office, Room 1709 Di Wang Commercial Centre, Shung Hing Square, 5002
Shenna Road East, Shenzhen, China, 518008.

    This amendment is made due to a material change in the ownership
and control of National Semiconductor and is not the result of
activities of concern by National Semiconductor or the NSC VEU
facilities. This action does not establish any new license requirements
or licensing policies for exports, reexports or transfers (in-country)
of items to National Semiconductor. Rather, the license requirements
set forth in the EAR continue to apply to this entity and its
facilities. Parties seeking to export, reexport or transfer (in-
country) items under the EAR to National Semiconductor or these
facilities may now have to obtain a license to do so, depending on the
item at issue.
    All conditions and restrictions that applied to transactions that
were undertaken pursuant to Authorization VEU prior to the effective
date of this amendment that involved National Semiconductor or the NSC
VEU facilities continue to apply to those transactions. These
restrictions and conditions include any that were imposed on National
Semiconductor or the NSC VEU facilities in connection with its
eligibility for Authorization VEU, as established by BIS in its
communications authorizing National Semiconductor's participation in
the VEU program.

Removal of Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Chengdu)
Corporation, Assembly and Testing (AT2) Facility (SMIC AT2 Facility)
From the List of VEU Semiconductor Manufacturing International
Corporation's (SMIC's) Approved Facilities in the PRC

    In a rule published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2007 (72
FR 59164), BIS designated SMIC as a VEU, thus authorizing certain
specific exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to five listed
facilities of the company, including the SMIC AT2 facility. Due to a
material change in the ownership and control of the SMIC AT2 facility,
SMIC has requested that BIS remove that facility's VEU authorization.
Accordingly, in this rule, BIS further amends Supplement No. 7 to Part
748 of the EAR to remove the SMIC AT2 facility and its address (8-8
Kexin Road, Export Processing Zone (West Area), Chengdu, China 611731)
from the list of SMIC's authorized VEU facilities. This change leaves
three SMIC facilities that are approved to receive eligible items under
SMIC's VEU authorization.
    As a result of this rule, the SMIC AT2 facility is no longer
authorized to receive items under Authorization VEU. Thus, parties
seeking to export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) items under the
EAR to the SMIC AT2 facility may now need to obtain a license to do so,
depending on the item at issue.
    This amendment is made due to a material change in the ownership
and control at the SMIC AT2 facility and is not the result of
activities of concern by the SMIC AT2 facility or SMIC. SMIC remains a
qualified participant in the VEU program, and thus exports, reexports
and transfers (in-country) of the items controlled under the ECCNs
listed in SMIC's entry in Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 of the EAR to
the SMIC facilities listed in the same part may continue to be made
under Authorization VEU. This action does not establish any new license
requirements or licensing policies for exports, reexports or transfers
(in-country) of items to the SMIC AT2 facility. Rather, the license
requirements set forth in the EAR continue to apply to this entity and
its facilities.
    This amendment applies only to transactions under Authorization VEU
involving the SMIC AT2 facility. All conditions and restrictions that
applied to transactions that were undertaken pursuant to Authorization
VEU prior to the effective date of this amendment, and that involved
the SMIC AT2 facility, continue to apply to those transactions. These
restrictions and conditions include any that were imposed on the SMIC
AT2 facility in connection with its eligibility for Authorization VEU,
as established by BIS in its communications authorizing the SMIC AT2
facility's participation in the VEU program.

Saving Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for export, reexport or
transfer (in-country) under Authorization VEU (i.e., under the
designator VEU) as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock
for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on November 9, 2011, pursuant to
actual orders for export, reexport or transfer (in-country) to an
eligible destination, may proceed to that destination under the
previously applicable Authorization so long as they are exported,
reexported or transferred (in-country) before November 25, 2011. Any
such items not actually exported, reexported or transferred (in-
country) before midnight, on November 25, 2011, require an individual
license or other applicable authorization under the EAR.
    Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act (the Act) has
been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order 13222 of
August 17,

2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002)), as extended most recently by
the Notice of August 12, 2011, 76 FR 50661 (August 16, 2011), has
continued the EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the Act, as
appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive
Order 13222.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. This rule involves collections previously approved by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) under Control Number 0694-0088, ``Multi-
Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8
minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748; and for recordkeeping,
reporting and review requirements in connection with Authorization VEU,
which carries an estimated burden of 30 minutes per submission. This
rule is expected to result in a decrease in license applications
submitted to BIS. Total burden hours associated with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA) and OMB Control
Number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase significantly as a result
of this rule.
    Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person is required
to respond or to be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information, subject to the requirements of the PRA,
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. There is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requiring prior
notice and the opportunity for public comment because, specific to this
rule, they are unnecessary, impracticable, and contrary to the public
interest.
    In determining whether to grant or revoke VEU designations, a
committee of U.S. Government agencies evaluates a variety of
information, the nature and terms of which are set forth in 15 CFR part
748, supplement No. 8. The criteria for evaluation by the committee are
set forth in 15 CFR 748.15(a)(2). The information, commitments, and
criteria for this extensive review were all established through the
notice of proposed rulemaking and public comment process (71 FR 38313,
July 2, 2006, and 72 FR 33646, June 19, 2007). Thus, authorization of a
VEU is similar to granting a license: To receive authorization VEU, an
application must be submitted on behalf of an entity; the entity must
be found to meet certain previously identified criteria; and the
application must be approved. Because the authorization granted by BIS
pursuant to 15 CFR 748.15 is similar to that granted to exporters for
individual licenses, which do not undergo public review when they are
approved, denied, revoked, or amended, allowing public review and
comments to this rule is unnecessary.
    Publication of this rule in other than final form is unnecessary
because the procedure for revocation of a VEU or facility from the
Authorized VEU list is similar to the license revocation procedure,
which does not undergo public review. During the revocation procedure,
the U.S. Government analyzes confidential business information
according to set criteria to determine whether a given authorized VEU
entity remains eligible for VEU status. Revocation may, as in this
case, be the result of a material change in circumstance at the VEU or
the VEU's authorized facility. Examples of such a material change
include changes in the operational status of a VEU facility or changes
in the end-use of the products produced at the facility. Such changes
may result in a VEU or VEU facility no longer meeting the eligibility
criteria for Authorization VEU, and may thus lead the U.S. Government
to modify or revoke VEU authorization. VEUs or VEU facilities that
undergo material changes that result in their no longer meeting the
criteria to be eligible VEUs must, according to the VEU program, have
their VEU status revoked. Here, National Semiconductor requested
removal from the VEU program and SMIC requested that BIS remove the
SMIC AT2 facility from the VEU program due to material changes in
ownership and control. Consequently, BIS is removing National
Semiconductor from the list of ``Validated End-Users'' and ``Eligible
Destinations'' and removing the SMIC AT2 facility from ``Eligible
Destinations'' in the EAR. Public comments on whether to make these
removals are unnecessary.
    Additionally, allowing for prior public notice and comment on this
rule may be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. The EAR
advance U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives
by ensuring an effective export control system. In accordance with the
pre-set criteria, the U.S. Government reviews each VEU and its
facilities to ensure that exports, reexports and transfers (in-country)
of specified items to these entities are consistent with such
objectives. Accordingly, VEUs and their facilities may receive through
export, reexport or transfer (in-country) items that would otherwise
require a license and transaction-specific review, in part due to
national security concerns. However, the VEU and listed facility here
are no longer eligible to receive items under Authorized VEU, and in
order to protect national security, the restrictions of the EAR must be
in place as soon as possible. Allowing public comments on this rule
would hinder the ability of BIS to enforce the EAR's restrictions on
exports without a license to the listed facilities. Thus public comment
on this rule is both impracticable, because allowing such comment would
prevent BIS from undertaking its statutory duties, and contrary to the
public's national security interests.
    In addition, BIS finds good cause to waive the requirement of 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to delay the effectiveness of this regulation, because
such a delay is contrary to the public's interest. When the U.S.
Government has been notified of or has identified a material change in
circumstances that warrants revocation or modification of VEU status
for an end-user or a facility of an end-user, there is a need to
quickly alert the public that the facility is no longer authorized as a
recipient of items under Authorization VEU. Delaying this action's
effectiveness could result in items that otherwise require licenses
being exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country), license-free,
to an ineligible facility, at risk to national security. Accordingly,
it would be contrary to the public interest to delay this rule's
effectiveness.
    No other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are
not required to be given for this rule under the APA or by any other
law, the analytical requirements of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable
and no regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared.

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

    CME is filing a proposed rule change that is limited to its
business as a derivatives clearing organization. More specifically, the
proposed rule change would make amendments to its rules to correct an
error in the current rule text of CME Rule 274H.02.A. regarding cash
settlement of Cleared OTC USD/CLP Spot, Forwards and Swaps Contracts.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements
concerning the purpose 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. CME 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

    CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and currently offers clearing
services for many different futures and swaps products. With this
filing, CME proposes to make amendments to its rules regarding its OTC
foreign currency (``FX'') swap clearing offering. Although this change
will be effective on filing, CME plans to operationalize the proposed
change on November 17, 2013 for trade date November 18, 2013.
    The proposed rule change is intended to correct an error in the
current rule text of CME Rule 274H.02.A. regarding Cash Settlement of
Cleared OTC USD/CLP Spot, Forwards and Swaps Contracts. Specifically,
the proposed rule change would amend the time of the underlying
benchmark fixing for the spot exchange rate of the Chilean peso per
U.S. dollar that is calculated by the Central Bank of Chile and is used
by CME for the final cash settlement of Cleared OTC USD/CLP from 8:00
p.m. Santiago time to 10:30 a.m. Santiago time.
    The change that is described in this filing is limited to CME's
business as a derivatives clearing organization clearing products under
the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(``CFTC'') and does not materially impact CME's security-based swap
clearing business in any way. CME notes that it has already submitted
the proposed rule change that is the subject of this filing to its
primary regulator, the CFTC, in CME Submission 13-507R.
    CME believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act including Section 17A of the Act.\5\ The
proposed rule change would correct an error in the current rule text of
CME Rule 274H.02.A. regarding cash settlement of Cleared OTC USD/CLP
Spot, Forwards and Swaps Contracts to reflect the actual time that the
spot exchange rate of the Chilean peso per U.S. dollar is calculated by
the Central Bank of Chile (and therefore the timing used by CME for the
final cash settlement of Cleared OTC USD/CLP). Because the change will
ensure CME rules accurately reflect this timing, the change should be
seen to be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent applicable,
derivatives agreements, contracts, and transactions, to assure the
safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest consistent with
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the proposed change is limited in its effect to swaps
products offered under CME's authority to act as a derivatives clearing
organization. These products are under the exclusive jurisdiction of
the CFTC. As such, the proposed change is limited to CME's activities
as a derivatives clearing organization clearing swaps that are not
security-based swaps; CME notes that the policies of the CFTC with
respect to administering the Commodity Exchange Act are comparable to a
number of the policies underlying the Act, such as promoting market
transparency for over-the-counter derivatives markets, promoting the
prompt and accurate clearance of transactions and protecting investors
and the public interest.
    Because the proposed change is limited in its effect to swaps
products offered under CME's authority to act as a derivatives clearing
organization, the proposed change is properly classified as effecting a
change in an existing service of CME that:
    (a) Primarily affects the clearing operations of CME with respect
to products that are not securities, including futures that are not
security futures, and swaps that are not security-based swaps or mixed
swaps; and
    (b) does not significantly affect any securities clearing
operations of CME or any rights or obligations of CME with respect to
securities clearing or persons using such securities-clearing service.

As such, the change is therefore consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A of the Act \7\ and are properly filed under Section
19(b)(3)(A) \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \9\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(4)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The rule change makes
changes to accurately reflect the timing of the pricing mechanism for
settlement of swaps contracts and should therefore not be seen to have
any competitive concerns.

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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \11\ thereunder.
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.\12\
