SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. Overview: Nissan has determined that certain MY 2019 Nissan
Armada motor vehicles do not fully comply with S<IP_ADDRESS> of FMVSS No.
108, Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment (49 CFR
571.108). Nissan filed a noncompliance report dated July 01, 2019,
pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility
and Reports. Nissan also petitioned NHTSA on July 24, 2019, for an
exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential as
it relates to motor vehicle safety, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or
Noncompliance.
    This notice of receipt, of Nissan's petition, is published under 49
U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or
other exercises of judgment concerning the merits of the petition.
    II. Vehicles Involved: Approximately 3,009 MY 2019 Nissan Armada
motor vehicles, manufactured between September 13, 2018, and October
23, 2018, are potentially involved.
    III. Noncompliance: Nissan explains that the noncompliance is that
the subject vehicles are equipped with headlamp assemblies that do not
meet the photometric intensity requirements as required by paragraph
S<IP_ADDRESS> of FMVSS No. 108. Specifically, the reflex reflector is not
seated properly in the headlamp assembly, thus, creating a gap between
the forward edge of the reflector and the extension portion of the
headlamp assembly. When tested, the photometric intensity of the
headlamp assemblies fell below the minimum photometric intensity
required.
    IV. Rule Requirements: S<IP_ADDRESS> of FMVSS No. 108 includes the
requirements relevant to this petition. Each side marker lamp must be
designed to conform to the photometry requirements of Table X, when
tested according to the procedure of S14.2.1, for the lamp color as
specified by FMVSS No. 108.
    V. Summary of Nissan's Petition: The following views and arguments
presented in this section, V. Summary of Nissan's petition, are the
views and arguments provided by Nissan. They have not been evaluated by
the agency and do not reflect the views of the agency.
    Nissan described the subject noncompliance and stated its belief
that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety. Nissan submitted the following views and arguments in
support of the petition:
    1. Due to a manufacturing issue affecting only the driver's side
marker lamp, the reflex reflector may not be seated properly in the
headlamp assembly, creating a gap between the forward edge of the
reflector and the extension portion of the headlamp assembly. The
reflector is restrained from further movement by the outer lens of the
headlamp. The manufacturing issue has been corrected.
    2. Even in the worst-case displaced position, the side marker lamp
is only minimally below photometric intensity of the side marker lamp
at one test point. Nissan has judged that the minimal difference in
photometric intensity between the lamp that tested below standard and a
lamp meeting the minimum standard is not perceptible to the human
observer. (See also, Subaru of America, Grant of Petition, 56 FR 59971
(Nov. 26, 1991); Hella, Inc., Grant of Petition, 55 FR 37601 (Sept. 12,
1990)).
    3. Moreover, in the subject vehicles, the parking lamp wraps around
the corners of the headlamp assembly and adds additional illumination
in the region where testing showed the photometric intensity of the
side marker lamp to be slightly below standard. On the affected MY 2019
Armada vehicles, the parking lamps are on the same circuit as the side
marker lamps and therefore always illuminate in conjunction with the
side marker lamps.
    4. When tested as a unit in real-world conditions, the photometric
intensity of the combined parking and side marker lamps is above the
required 0.62 cd for all test points and approximately 5 times the test
point where the side marker lamp alone was below 0.62 cd.
    5. In the event the reflector was to move out of position, the
complimentary illumination from the parking lamp compensates for the
slight reduction in photometric intensity of the side marker lamp over
an exceedingly small range. Therefore, in actual usage conditions, the
presence of an affected vehicle is conspicuous and in Nissan's
judgement, there is no perceivable difference in the visibility of the
subject vehicles compared to compliant vehicles to drivers and
pedestrians on the road.
    6. In similar situations, NHTSA has granted the applications of
other petitioners in which a minor deviation from the standard was
deemed imperceptible and therefore inconsequential to safety (See,
e.g., BMW of N.Am., LLC, Grant of Petition, 82 FR 55484 (Nov. 21,
2017); Osram Sylvania Prods., Inc., Grant of Petition, 78 FR 46000
(July 30, 2013)). While Nissan recognizes that NHTSA has

denied petitions claiming complimentary illumination, those petitions
are distinguishable due to the greater extent of the reduction in
illumination over a wider affected area.
    Nissan concluded by expressing the belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety,
and that its petition to be exempted from providing notification of the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on
this petition only applies to the subject vehicles that Nissan no
longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, any decision on this petition does not relieve
vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer
for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant vehicles under their control after Nissan
notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E airspace at
Williamson, WV to provide controlled airspace required to support the
SIAPs developed for Mingo County Regional. Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface would be established for the
safety and management of IFR operations.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15,
2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will 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.
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 proposed 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.
    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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would establish Class E airspace at Mingo
County Regional, Williamson, WV.

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.6-mile (decreased from a 9.3-mile)
radius of Prairie Du Chien Municipal Airport, Prairie Du Chien, WI;
removes the Waukon VORTAC and associated extension; adds an extension 1
mile each side of the 110[deg] bearing from the airport extending from
the 6.6-mile radius to 6.8 miles east of the airport; adds an extension
1 mile each side of the 140[deg] bearing from the airport extending
from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.4 miles southeast of the airport; adds
an extension 1 mile each side of the 320[deg] bearing from the airport
extending from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.6 miles northwest of the
airport; and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Waukon VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures this airport, as part of the
VOR MON Program.
    FAA Order 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is

certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62664; File No. SR-FINRA-2010-037]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
FINRA Rule 5190 (Notification Requirements for Offering Participants)

August 9, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on July 27, 2010, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have substantially been prepared by FINRA. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    FINRA is proposing to amend FINRA Rule 5190 (Notification
Requirements for Offering Participants) relating to the notice
requirements applicable to distributions of ``actively traded''
securities, as defined under SEC Regulation M.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    FINRA Rule 5190 imposes certain notice requirements on members
participating in distributions of listed and unlisted securities and is
designed to ensure that FINRA receives pertinent distribution-related
information from its members in a timely fashion to facilitate its
Regulation M compliance program.
    Rule 5190(d) sets forth the notice requirements applicable to
distributions of securities that are considered ``actively traded'' and
thus are not subject to a restricted period under Rule 101 of
Regulation M.\3\ In connection with such distributions, pursuant to
Rule 5190(d)(1), members are required to provide written notice to
FINRA of the member's determination that no restricted period applies
and the basis for such determination. Members must provide such notice
at least one business day prior to the pricing of the distribution,
unless later notification is necessary under specific circumstances.
Rule 5190(d)(2) requires that upon pricing a distribution of an
``actively traded'' security, members provide written notice to FINRA,
along with pricing-related information such as the offering price, the
last sale before the distribution and the pricing basis. Notice of
pricing must be provided no later than the close of business the next
business day following the pricing of the distribution, unless later
notification is necessary under specific circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The exclusion for ``actively traded'' securities removes
from Rule 101 of Regulation M securities with an ``ADTV'' value, as
defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M, of at least $1 million where
the issuer's common equity securities have a public float value of
at least $150 million.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is proposing to amend Rule 5190(d) to require that notice
under subparagraphs (1) and (2) be provided at the same time;
specifically, no later than the close of business the next business day
following the pricing of the distribution. While the timing of notice
under subparagraph (1) would change, the information required would not
change. Thus, pursuant to the proposed rule change, members will be
required to provide a single notice after pricing of the distribution
and will be required to provide all of the same information that they
provide today.
    FINRA has determined that it will be sufficient for members to
provide notice

of their determination that no restricted period applies following the
pricing of the distribution. The proposed rule change will not impact
FINRA's Regulation M surveillance program.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See e-mail from Lisa Horrigan, Asssociate General Counsel,
FINRA, to Elizabeth Sandoe, Branch Chief and Brad Gude, Special
Counsel, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission, dated August
6, 2010 (``FINRA Email'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, a significant number of distributions of ``actively
traded'' securities evolve quickly after the market close and are
priced overnight before the next trading session. Thus, members
frequently do not have sufficient advance knowledge of their
participation in the distribution to provide notice to FINRA at least
one business day prior to pricing and in such instances are unable to
comply with the express terms of Rule 5190(d)(1). FINRA then must make
a determination whether later notification was necessary under the
circumstances, in accordance with the rule. The proposed rule change
will clarify members' notice obligations in the context of such
distributions.
    The proposed rule change will be effective on the date of
Commission approval.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\5\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change will
streamline FINRA's Regulation M-related notice requirements and,
combined with FINRA's existing Regulation M compliance program, will
protect investors.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
    \6\ See FINRA E-mail, supra note 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA 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.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    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
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2022-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2207]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before May 10, 2022.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2207, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email) [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-69153; File No. SR-ISE-2013-23]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend Its Rules Related to Mini Options Traded on the
Exchange

March 15, 2013.
    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 March 13, 2013, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II, which items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules related to Mini Options
traded on the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's Web site www.ise.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 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 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    ISE proposes to amend its rules related to Mini Options traded on
the Exchange. Mini Options overlie 10 equity or ETF shares, rather than
the standard 100 shares.\3\ Mini Options are currently approved on the
following five (5) underlying securities: SPDR S&P 500 ETF (``SPY''),
Apple Inc. (``AAPL''), SPDR Gold Trust (``GLD''), Google Inc.
(``GOOG''), and Amazon.com, Inc. (``AMZN'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Mini Options were approved for trading on September 28,
2012. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67948 (September 28,
2012), 77 FR 60735 (October 4, 2012) (Approving SR-ISE-2012-58). The
Exchange expects to begin trading Mini Options on March 18, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to adopt new
Supplementary Material .13(d) to ISE Rule 504 to codify the minimum
contract threshold requirement for the execution of Mini Options in the
Exchange's Block Order Mechanism and Solicited Order Mechanism. The
Block Order Mechanism is a process by which a Member can obtain
liquidity for the execution of block-size orders.\4\ Block-size orders
are orders for fifty (50) or more contracts.\5\ The Solicited Order
Mechanism is a process by which an Electronic Access Member can attempt
to execute orders of 500 or more contracts it represents as agent
against contra orders that it solicited.\6\ The minimum contract
threshold required for the Block Order Mechanism and the Solicited
Order Mechanism applies to option contracts that overlie 100 shares and
therefore does not currently apply to Mini Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See ISE Rule 716(c).
    \5\ See ISE Rule 716(a).
    \6\ See ISE Rule 716(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This proposed rule change also proposes to adopt a minimum contract
threshold for the execution of a Qualified Contingent Cross Order in
Mini Options. A Qualified Contingent Cross Order is an order to buy or
sell at least 1000 contracts that is identified as being part of a
qualified contingent trade coupled with a contra-side order to buy or
sell an equal number of contracts.\7\ Again, the minimum contract
threshold required for the execution of a Qualified Contingent Cross
order applies to option contracts that overlie 100 shares and therefore
does not currently apply to Mini Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See ISE Rule 715(j).

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

    The Exchange now proposes to adopt new Supplementary Material
.13(d) to Rule 504 to adjust the minimum contract threshold for
executing Mini Options in the Block Order Mechanism and Solicited Order
Mechanism by ten times their current requirement. Thus, Mini Options
executed in the Block Order Mechanism must be for five hundred (500) or
more Mini Option contracts, and Mini Options executed in the Solicited
Order Mechanism must be for five thousand (5,000) or more Mini Option
contracts. Further, new Supplementary Material .13(d) to Rule 504 also
adjusts the minimum contract threshold for the execution of Qualified
Contingent Cross orders in Mini Options. Thus, a Qualified Contingent
Cross order in Mini Options must be comprised of an order to buy or
sell at least 10,000 Mini Option contracts coupled with a contra-side
order to buy or sell an equal number of Mini Option contracts.
    The Exchange believes it is appropriate to adjust the minimum
contract threshold for Mini Options so they are equivalent (same number
of underlying securities) to the minimum contract threshold required
for standard options that are executed in the Block Order Mechanism and
Solicited Order Mechanism and for the execution of Qualified Contingent
Cross orders in Mini Options. The Exchange believes that adjusting the
minimum contract threshold will remove any confusion on the part of
market participants that want to use these Exchange functionalities to
execute Mini Options.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange
Act'') for this proposed rule change is found in Section 6(b)(5), in
that the proposed change is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, will serve to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In
particular, the proposed rule change will assure that standard options
and Mini Options on the same underlying security will have an
equivalent minimum contract threshold for the execution of orders in
the Exchange's Block Order Mechanism and Solicited Order Mechanism and
for Qualified Contingent Cross orders executed on the Exchange. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule change will also avoid investor
confusion because in the absence of this proposal, the minimum contract
threshold for executing Mini Options in the Block Order Mechanism and
Solicited Order Mechanism and for executing Qualified Contingent Cross
orders in Mini Options would have been different than that for standard
options (i.e., different number of underlying securities). The Exchange
does not intend that Mini Options and standard options have different
minimum contract threshold requirements for its auction mechanisms and
for Qualified Contingent Cross orders executed on the Exchange. The
Exchange further believes that investors and other market participants
will benefit from this proposed rule change because it proposes to
clarify and establish the minimum contract threshold for executing Mini
Options in the Block Order Mechanism and Solicited Order Mechanism and
for executing Qualified Contingent Cross orders in Mini Options prior
to the commencement of trading. The Exchange believes that investors
generally will be expecting the minimum contract threshold for Mini
Options to be equivalent to the minimum contract threshold for standard
options when it comes to executing trades in the Exchange's various
auctions and in executing Qualified Contingent Cross orders in Mini
Options on the same underlying security. This proposed rule change will
therefore lessen investor confusion.

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

    This proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Exchange Act. ISE believes that the proposed rule change will in
fact relieve any burden on, or otherwise promote, competition. Mini
Options are currently approved for trading on multiple options
exchanges and all of the options exchanges that have a minimum contract
threshold in their rules will have the opportunity to amend their rules
to adopt minimum contract thresholds for Mini Options that are
equivalent to the minimum contract threshold for standard options.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally does
not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing. However,
Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) permits the Commission to designate a shorter
time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and
the public interest. The Exchange requests that the Commission waive
the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed rule change may
coincide with the anticipated launch of trading in Mini Options. The
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest.\10\ Waiver of the operative delay will allow the Exchange to
implement its proposal consistent with the commencement of trading in
Mini Options as scheduled and expected by members and other
participants on March 18, 2013. For these reasons, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change as operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and

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