Background

    The FAA is establishing RNAV routes focusing on developing and
implementing improvements in navigation structure and operating methods
to allow more flexible and efficient en route operations in the
National Airspace System. RNAV routes provide greater freedom to
properly equipped users and achieves the economic benefits of flying
user-selected non-restrictive routings. RNAV routes will be identified
by the letter prefix ``Q'' for routes flight level (FL) 180 and above,
and ``T'' for routes below FL 180 followed by a number consisting of
one to three digits. This specific effort focuses on developing and
implementing improvements in navigation structure for more efficient en
route operations in the Alaska airspace environment. To help accomplish
this goal, the FAA asked for user feedback to help place routing in the
most efficient manner. As a result, twelve of the charted thirty three
Alaskan T routes are proposed to be revised. Nine new T routes are
proposed to be established, along with fourteen new Q routes.
Additionally, four T routes are proposed to be removed. Final rules for
Area Navigation routes will contain a general route outline and no
longer contain the individual coordinates for each navigational aid,
waypoint or fix. The coordinates will be published in the National
Flight Data Digest and subsequently in FAA Order 7350.8 Location
Identifiers.

Related Rulemaking

    On April 8, 2003, the FAA published the Designation of Class A, B,
C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes, and Reporting
Points rule in the Federal Register (68 FR 16943). This rule adopted
certain amendments proposed in Notice No. 02-20, Area Navigation (RNAV)
and Miscellaneous Amendments. The rule revised and adopted several
definitions in FAA regulations, including Air Traffic Service Routes,
to be in concert with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
definitions; and reorganized the structure of FAA regulations
concerning the designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas;
airways; routes; and reporting points. The purpose of the rule was to
facilitate the establishment of RNAV routes in the NAS for use by
aircraft with advanced navigation system capabilities.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish fourteen high altitude Area
Navigation (RNAV) routes, and nine low altitude RNAV routes, in the
State of Alaska. Additionally, this action proposes to revise one high
altitude route, fourteen low altitude routes, and remove four existing
``T'' routes that are no longer required. These routes are being
proposed to enhance safety, and to facilitate the more flexible and
efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route instrument flight
rules (IFR) operations within the state of Alaska. This proposal will
improve operator efficiency, access and safety, while incrementally
reducing dependency on ground based navigation facilities. A graphical
representation of this proposal is on the web (downloadable PDF file)
at: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/
service_units/systemops/fs/alaskan/notices/RNAV_Routes/. These areas
would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum
83.
    The High Altitude RNAV Routes are published in paragraph 2006, and
the Low Altitude RNAV Routes are published in paragraph 6011 in FAA
Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed
October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008,

which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airspace
designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (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 proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    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 the
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 proposes to create Class A and E airspace sufficient in size to
contain aircraft using the described Federal Airways within the State
of Alaska and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

1 Summary of API Meeting September 25, 2003 Attendees: Randy Hill, Acting Director, TRI Program Division; Michelle Price, Acting Chief, TRI Regulatory Development Branch; John King, Marathon Ashland Petroleum; Clay Freeberg, Chevron/ Texaco; Mary Catherine Fish; MCF Consulting; Jonnie Martin, Shell Oil Products US; Al Collins, Occidental; Tom Yarnick, ExxonMobil; Lakeisha Harrison, API; Erik Milito, API; Alice Cuouie, API; Glen Barrett, API Summary:

Mr. Hill gave a summary of activities related to the ICR and renewal status. On Tuesday, July 1, 2003, Federal Register ( FR) notices were published that began the Information Collection Request ( ICR) renewal process for the TRI Reporting Form R ( 68 FR 39074) and the Form A Certification Statement ( 68 FR 39071). The TRI Program is seeking OMB approval in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act ( PRA) for these two collection activities that are due to expire on October 31, 2003. The EPA docket for this action, OEI 2003 0025 received over 50 comment submissions.

For the Form R ICR renewal, the TRI Program sought public comment on extensive changes to the Form R in an effort to collect information in a more logical and easier manner. However, in light of significant comments from States, the regulated community and other TRI data users concerning the implementation burden of so many changes at once, EPA considering deferring many of the proposed changes, especially those changes proposed in sections 5 and 6.

With regard to the changes proposed in section 8.1, many respondents supported these changes to the Form R. Others recommended additional changes to further clarify Section 8.1. Some were opposed to all proposed changes to Section 8.

Participant asked if EPA had reviewed the API comments. Mr. Hill responded that EPA was reviewing all comments, including those from API.

Participant asked if EPA had made decisions about how the form changes would be implemented in the Public Data Release ( PDR). Mr. Hill explained that the Agency had not made decisions about the PDR and that the program was currently reviewing the entire TRI data cycle and all PDR products.

Participant asked if we would go back to using M codes if the changes proposed in sections 5 and 6 were deferred. Mr. Hill said yes.

Participant asked how EPA would respond to comments and how they would know when the 2 form was approved by OMB. Mr. Hill explained that EPA would include a summary of the comments and the Agency's response in the materials submitted to OMB when EPA resubmits the ICR renewal package. He noted that the response to comments is for an ICR, not a rulemaking, so it will be at a more general level than a rulemaking response to comments. Mr. Hill also noted that an FR notice will be published when the forms are approved by OMB.

Participant asked about EPA's burden estimates and why they didn't reflect the burden from the additional data elements proposed by EPA. Mr. Hill explained that the data elements proposed were not new, that they were just a different format to collect the same information. He also noted that some ICR commenters were confused by EPA's lower burden estimates given expanded data elements on the form. Mr. Hill admitted that EPA could have done a better job explaining this how the form changes related to the burden estimates.

Meeting concluded at 1 pm.

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

General Comment: I am requesting 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.

I feel the FDA has had over 5 years to come up with it's proposal, and the public has a mere 75 days to react.

As a former smoker of 20+ years, I am very concerned about the proposed regulations in regards to e-cigarettes.  I feel the e-cig industry means the end of Big Tobacco as we know it once and for all, and from what I can tell with the deeming regulations, you will be essentially be handing the e-cig industry right back into Big Tobacco's control.

Contrary to propaganda and knee jerk reactions from anti-smoking organizations, I do not think that e-cigs are targeted to youth.  I feel the industry as a whole, is very much in favor of sensible self-regulations, and if given more time will come up with a counter proposal that will be very agreeable.

I myself, will definitely need more time to research and gather my own solid opinions and talking points that I would feel important to be taken into consideration for this comment period.

Please extend the public comment period.

Thank you.

[Docket No. CP19-118-000]

Trans-Foreland Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice Suspending
Environmental Review Schedule

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) is
suspending the environmental review schedule for Trans-Foreland
Pipeline Company, LLC's (Trans-Foreland) application for the Kenai LNG
Cool Down Project in Nikiski, Alaska. The notice of revised schedule,
issued on December 12, 2019, identified an April 24, 2020 environmental
assessment (EA) issuance date. This schedule was based upon Trans-
Foreland providing complete and timely responses to any data requests.
In its March 18, 2020 response to FERC staff's March 3, 2020 data
request, Trans-Foreland stated it was pursuing an equivalency
determination from the United States Department of Transportation's
Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA)
pertaining to the trim vaporizer it proposes to locate within the
liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank impoundment area.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ While PHMSA issued a letter of determination (LOD) on March
25, 2020 that addresses the siting of LNG facilities, including the
vaporizer, under Subpart B of its regulations, the LOD does not
address Trans-Foreland's March 17, 2020 equivalency determination
request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the PHMSA equivalency determination is necessary for
completion of the EA, the Commission will suspend the environmental
review schedule for the project. Once staff has reviewed the PHMSA
equivalency determination, FERC will issue an additional revised
schedule for the EA. This is not a suspension of the FERC staff's
review of Trans-Foreland's project. Staff will continue to process
Trans-Foreland's proposal to the extent possible based upon the
information it has filed to date.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; OMONTYS

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for OMONTYS and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of an application to the Director of Patents
and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent
which claims that human drug product.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written petitions (two copies are required) and written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
Submit petitions electronically to http://www.regulations.gov at Docket
No. FDA-2013-S-0610.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of
Management, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,
Bldg. 51, Rm. 6257, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase
and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human drug product OMONTYS
(Peginesatide acetate). OMONTYS is indicated for treatment of anemia
due to chronic kidney disease in adult patients on dialysis. Subsequent
to this approval, the Patent and Trademark Office received a patent
term restoration application for OMONTYS (U.S. Patent No. 7,414,105)
from Affymax, Inc., and the Patent and Trademark Office requested FDA's
assistance in determining this patent's eligibility for patent term
restoration. In a letter dated February 22, 2013, FDA advised the
Patent and Trademark Office that this human drug product had undergone
a regulatory review period and that the approval of OMONTYS represented
the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the product.
Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark Office requested that FDA
determine the product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
OMONTYS is 2,528 days. Of this time, 2,222 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 306 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became
effective: April 27, 2005. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that
the date the investigational new drug application became effective was
on April 27, 2005.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: May 27,
2011. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) for OMONTYS (NDA 202799) was submitted on May 27,
2011.
    3. The date the application was approved: March 27, 2012. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 202799 was approved on March
27, 2012.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the Patent and
Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in its
calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
application for patent extension, this applicant seeks 684 days of
patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by July 21, 2014. Furthermore, any interested person
may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant
for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review
period by November 17, 2014. To meet its burden, the petition must
contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept.
857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should
be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written or
electronic petitions. It is only necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. If you submit a written petition, two copies
are required. A petition submitted electronically must be submitted to
http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Comments and
petitions that have not been made publicly available on http://www.regulations.gov may be viewed in the Division of Dockets Management

at: 47[deg]37'36'' N, 122[deg]22'42'' W; thence to 47[deg]37'24.5'' N,
122[deg]22'58.5'' W; thence to 47[deg]36'08'' N, 122[deg]20'53'' W;
thence to 47[deg]36'21'' N, 122[deg]20'31'' W; thence returning to the
origin. This regulated area resembles a rectangle measuring
approximately 3,900 yards along the shoreline between Pier 57 and Pier
89, and extending approximately 650 yards into Elliott Bay. Temporary
floating markers will be placed by the race sponsors to delineate the
regulated area. [Datum: NAD 1983]
    No person or vessel may enter or remain in the regulated area
except for participants in the event, supporting personnel, vessels
registered with the event organizer, and personnel or vessels
authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.
    The Coast Guard will establish a patrol consisting of active and
auxiliary Coast Guard vessels and personnel in the regulated area
described above. The patrol shall be under the direction of a Coast
Guard officer or petty officer designated by the Captain of the Port as
the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The Patrol Commander may forbid and
control the movement of vessels in this regulated area.
    A succession of sharp, short blasts from whistle or horn from
vessels patrolling the area under the direction of the Patrol Commander
shall serve as a signal to stop. Vessels signaled shall stop and comply
with the orders of the patrol vessel. Failure to do so may result in
expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or both.
    The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local
law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.1306 and 5
U.S.C. 552 (a).
    If the Captain of the Port determines that the regulated area need
not be enforced for the full duration stated in this notice, he may use
a Broadcast Notice to Mariners to grant general permission to enter the
regulated area.

    Dated: April 24, 2013.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Puget Sound.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79037; File No. SR-BOX-2016-46]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Make
Non-Controversial Amendments to Its Rules

October 4, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on September 22, 2016, BOX Options Exchange LLC (the ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to make non-controversial amendments to its
rules. The text of the proposed rule change is available from the
principal office of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference
Room and also on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com.

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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend Rule 7130(a) to
clarify that the BOX HSVF is no longer provided to market participants
at no cost. The BOX HSVF is a proprietary product that provides: (i)
Trades and trade cancelation information; (ii) best-ranked price level
to buy and the best-ranked price level to sell; (iii) instrument
summaries (including information such as high, low, and last trade
price and traded volume); (iv) the five best limit prices for each
option instrument; (v) request for Quote messages; \3\ (vi) PIP Order,
Improvement Order and Block Trade Order (Facilitation and Solicitation)
information; \4\ (vii) orders exposed at NBBO; \5\ (viii) instrument
dictionary (e.g., strike price, expiration date, underlying symbol,
price threshold, and minimum trading increment for

instruments traded on BOX); (ix) options class and instrument status
change notices (e.g., whether an instrument or class is in pre-opening,
continuous trading, closed, halted, or prohibited from trading); (x)
options class opening time; and (xi) Public Customer bid/ask volume at
the best limit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Rules 100(a)(57), 7070(h) and 8050.
    \4\ As set forth in Exchange Rules 7150 and 7270, respectively.
    \5\ As set forth in Exchange Rules 7130(b)(2) and 8040(d)(6),
respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange recently amended its fees to establish a $750.00 per
month fee for receiving the HSVF.\6\ The Exchange proposes to amend the
language in BOX Rule 7130(a)(2) to reflect this change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78565 (August 12,
2016), 81 FR 55251 (August 18, 2016) (SR-BOX-2016-40).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general protect investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes it is appropriate to make the proposed change to its
rules so that market participants and investors have a clear and
accurate understanding of the meaning of the Exchange's rules. By
removing obsolete rule text, the Exchange is eliminating any potential
for confusion by simplifying the Exchange Rules, ensuring that market
participants, regulators and the public can more easily navigate the
Exchange's Rulebook. The Exchange believes that the proposed rule
change is not unfairly discriminatory because it treats all market
participants equally and will not have an adverse impact on any market
participant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. In particular,
the proposed change simply reflects the recent amendments to the BOX
Fee Schedule.\9\ As such, the Exchange 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \12\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest because it will
allow the Exchange to immediately reflect recent amendments to its fee
schedule, which will eliminate any potential for confusion.\14\ The
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ See supra note 6.
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
