33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0330]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival; Shallowbag Bay,
Manteo, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

B. Basis and Purpose

    On October 4, 2013, fireworks will be launched from a barge located
in Shallowbag Bay in Manteo, North Carolina as part of the Outer Banks
Bluegrass Festival. The temporary safety zone created by this rule is
necessary to ensure the safety of vessels and spectators from hazards
associated with the fireworks display. Such hazards include
obstructions to the waterway that may cause death, serious bodily harm,
or property damage, as well as the accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris.
Establishing a safety zone to control vessel movement around the
location of the launch area will help ensure the safety of persons and
property in the vicinity of this event and help minimize the associated
risks.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    A temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of
spectators and vessels during the setup, loading, and launching of the
Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival Fireworks Display. The fireworks display
will occur for approximately 15 minutes from 9 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on
October 4, 2013. However, the Safety Zone will be effective and
enforced from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. in order to ensure safety during the
setup, loading and removal of the display equipment.
    The safety zone will encompass all waters on Shallowbag Bay within
a 200 yard radius of a barge anchor in position 35[deg]54'31'' N,
longitude 075[deg]39'42'' W from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. on October 4,
2013. All geographic coordinates are North American Datum 1983 (NAD
83). The effect of this temporary safety zone will be to restrict
navigation in the regulated area during the fireworks display.
    All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated on scene patrol
personnel. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone
is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector North
Carolina or his designated representative. The Captain of the Port or
his designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.
Notification of the temporary safety zone will be provided to the
public via marine information broadcasts.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. Although this regulation
will restrict access to the area, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because: (i) The safety zone will only be in effect from 8
p.m. to 10 p.m. on October 4, 2013, (ii) the Coast Guard will give
advance notification via maritime advisories so mariners can adjust
their plans accordingly, and (iii) although the safety zone will apply
to the section of Shallowbag Bay, vessel traffic will be able to
transit safely around the safety zone.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
through or anchor in the specified portion of Shallowbag Bay on October
4, 2013.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for

the following reasons. This rule will only be in effect for two hours,
from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Although the safety zone will apply to a section
of Shallowbag Bay, vessel traffic will be able to transit safely around
the safety zone. Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will
issue maritime advisories widely available to the users of the
waterway.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

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

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
establishes a temporary safety zone to protect the public from
fireworks fallout. This rule is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard proposes
to amend 33 CFR part 165 as follows:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP17-22-000]

Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Sabine Pass Expansion Project

    On December 13, 2016, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline, LLC (Kinder
Morgan) filed an application in Docket No. CP17-22-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section
7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain
natural gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project is known as the
Sabine Pass Expansion Project (Project), and would allow Kinder Morgan
to provide firm incremental transportation service of up to 600 million
cubic feet per day of natural gas to the existing Sabine Pass
Liquefaction Facility, that is currently under expansion in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana.
    On December 21, 2016 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

    Issuance of EA: July 28, 2017.
    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: October 26, 2017.
    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    Kinder Morgan proposes to construct and operate the Sabine Pass
Expansion Project in Louisiana which consists of the following: (1)
Modifications to four existing meter stations (Columbia Gulf
Transmission, LLC; Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; ANR Pipeline Company;
and Pine Prairie Energy Center) in Evangeline and Acadia Parishes; (2)
construction of one new 36-inch-diameter delivery interconnect
consisting of a 36-inch-diameter tap and appurtenances and 1,200 feet
of 36-inch-diameter lateral at the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Facility in
Cameron Parish; (3) installation of three additional 15,900 horsepower
compressor units at Kinder Morgan's previously approved Compressor
Station 760 in Acadia Parish; \1\ (4) construction of 6,400 feet of 36-
inch-diameter and 700 feet of 24-inch-diameter header pipelines in
Acadia Parish; and (5) replacement of a meter and increase in capacity
from 200 to 650 million cubic feet per day at the existing Pine Prairie
Meter Station in Acadia Parish. The proposed facilities would provide
north-to-south transportation on Kinder Morgan's system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The compressor station has not yet been constructed, but was
approved by Commission Order dated April 15, 2016 as part of the
Lake Charles Expansion Project in Docket No. CP14-511-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Kinder Morgan proposes to begin construction of the Project by
April 2018 and to place the facilities in service by April 1, 2019.

Background

    On January 24, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Sabine Pass
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues
(NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and
local government agencies; elected officials; Native American tribes;
other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. In
response to the NOI, the Commission received a comment from a
stakeholder stating the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits and
authorizations that would be necessary for the various Project
components. The Commission also received a comment letter from the
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries stating the Project
would have minimal or no long-term adverse impacts on wetland functions
and a comment from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma requesting to receive
a copy of the EA and the cultural resources survey.

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,

application.

By Order 2004-7-17, the Department instituted the 2004 U.S.-Mexico
Combination Service Proceeding, in Docket OST-2004-18692, and
consolidated the already-filed applications into this proceeding to
select one primary and one backup carrier for four U.S.-Mexico city-pair
markets, including the Denver-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta
city-pair markets.  The order also established a procedural timetable
for the case, including a deadline for the filing of direct exhibits by
August 16, 2004.

On August 16, 2004, United timely filed its direct exhibits for the
Denver-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta requests.  On that same day,
Allegiant filed a motion for leave to withdraw its application for
Denver-Cancun authority.  Champion Air did not file direct exhibits for
any of the city-pair markets at issue in the proceeding, including the
two sought here by United.  On August 18, 2004, Champion Air orally
advised the Department that it did not intend to pursue its requests for
authority to serve the Denver-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta markets.

- see next page -																	2

On August 18, 2004, United filed a motion requesting that the
Department: (1) grant Allegiant’s motion to withdraw its Denver-Cancun
application, (2) dismiss Champion Air’s applications for Denver-Cancun
and Denver-Puerto Vallarta authority due to the carrier’s failure to
prosecute those requests, and (3) immediately grant United’s now
unopposed applications for exemption authority to serve the
Denver-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta markets.  On ___________,
United advised the Department that no party opposed its request.

Responses to United’s motion were filed by Spirit Airlines, Inc.
(Spirit), Frontier, and Brendan Airways, LLC d/b/a USA 3000 Airlines
(USA 3000), including motions filed by Spirit, Frontier, and USA 3000.
These submissions all raise matters going to other routes at issue in
the 2004 U.S.-Mexico Combination Service Proceeding and to procedural
issues relating to our consideration of those route requests.  No party
opposed United’s August 18 motion.  United filed a reply saying that
it did not oppose the other requests so long as they did not delay
action on United’s motion, but noting that the United motion was now
ripe, whereas the other requests were not.

Decision

Under the circumstances presented, United is now the only applicant
requesting exemption authority in both the Denver-Cancun and
Denver-Puerto Vallarta markets.  In light of the fact that there are no
longer competing requests for these markets, no party has opposed
United’s request for an immediate award of Denver-Cancun and
Denver-Puerto Vallarta exemption authority, and  and there is one
designation opportunity available for both the Denver-Cancun and
Denver-Puerto Vallarta services, we have decided to grant United’s
August 18 motion and (1) grant Allegiant’s request to withdraw its
application for Denver-Cancun authority; (2) dismiss Champion Air’s
applications for authority to serve the Denver-Cancun and Denver-Puerto
Vallarta markets; and (3) award United the Denver-Cancun and
Denver-Puerto Vallarta exemption authority it requests.  We acted on
this motion without awaiting expiration of the 7-day answer period with
the consent of all parties served with the motion.

D I S P O S I T I O N

1.  We grant exemption authority to United Air Lines, Inc., to provide
foreign scheduled air transportation between (1) the terminal point
Denver, Colorado, and the terminal point Cancun, Mexico; and (2) the
terminal point Denver, Colorado, and the terminal point Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico;

2.  The exemption authority granted is effective immediately for a
period of two years from the date of this notice, subject to the
conditions outlined below;

3.  The exemption authority granted is subject to the dormancy notice
requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A of Order 88-10-2.
Consistent with our policy, the dormancy notice period will begin on
United’s proposed start-up dates in the subject markets, as follows:
September 11, 2004, for the Denver-Cancun market; and December 16, 2004,
for the Denver-Puerto Vallarta market;

4.  We grant the motion of Allegiant Air, LLC for leave to withdraw its
request for exemption authority to serve the Denver-Cancun market in the
2004 U.S.-Mexico Combination Service Proceeding, Docket OST-2004-18692;

5.  We dismiss the requests of Grand Holdings, Inc., d/b/a Champion Air
for exemption authority to serve the Denver-Cancun/Puerto Vallarta
markets in the 2004 U.S.-Mexico Combination Service Proceeding, Docket
OST-2004-18692;

6.  We dismiss, as moot, the July 19 motion of United Air Lines, Inc.,
for pendente lite authority to serve the Denver-Cancun market in the
2004 U.S.-Mexico Combination Service Proceeding, Docket OST-2004-18692;

________________________________________________________________________
____________________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
 To the extent not granted or dismissed, we denied all requests in the
referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

U.S. Carrier Exemption Conditions

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the U.S. carrier
applicant(s) shall:

(1)  Hold at all times effective operating authority from the government
of each country served;

(2)  Comply with applicable requirements concerning oversales contained
in 14 CFR 250 (for scheduled operations, if authorized);

(3)  Comply with the requirements for reporting data contained in 14 CFR
241;

(4)  Comply with requirements for minimum insurance coverage, and for
certifying that coverage to the Department, contained in 14 CFR 205;

(5)  Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 203, concerning
waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

(6)  Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements
concerning security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1544.
To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government requirements
concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing any new service
(including charter flights) to or from a foreign airport, contact its
International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise the IPSI of
its plans and to find out whether the Transportation Security
Administration has determined that security is adequate to allow such
airport(s) to be served; and

(7)  Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and
limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department of Transportation, with all applicable orders and regulations
of other U.S. agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the
United States.

The authority granted shall be effective only during the period when the
holder is in compliance with the conditions imposed above.

    Frontier Airlines, Inc. (Frontier), holds exemption authority and is
designated to serve the Denver-Cancun and Denver-Puerto Vallarta
markets.

    Champion Air also advised us that it did not intend to prosecute its
requests for exemption authority to serve the Detroit-Cancun and St.
Louis-Cancun markets (markets that are also at issue in the 2004
U.S.-Mexico Combination Service Proceeding in Docket OST-2004-18692).
We will dispose of Champion Air’s Detroit-Cancun and St. Louis-Cancun
requests separately.

   At United’s request, and with the consent of all parties served
with a copy of United’s motion, we shortened the date for answers to
United’s motion to August 20, and replies to August 23 (see Notice
dated August 20, 2004, in the 2004 U.S.-Mexico Combination Service
Proceeding, Docket OST-2004-18692.

   On July 19, 2004, United filed a motion for pendente lite grant of
exemption authority to serve the Denver-Cancun market.  In light of our
action here, we are dismissing the July 19 motion as moot.  With regard
to the motions of Spirit, Frontier, and USA 3000 filed after United’s
August 18 motion, we will handle them separately after they become ripe.

   See United’s Direct Exhibits, at 3.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53958; File No. SR-NYSE-2006-34]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change To Delete an Obsolete Provision in Its Minor Rule Violation
Plan

June 8, 2006.
    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 June 2, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``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 Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons and approving the proposal
on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 is proposing to amend NYSE Rule 476A (Imposition of
Fines for Minor Violation(s) of Rules) to reflect the deletion of NYSE
Rule 124(A). The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.nyse.com), at the Exchange's principal

office, 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 III 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
    NYSE Rule 124(A) prohibited unbundling of round-lot orders, failure
to aggregate odd-lot orders into round-lot orders, the entry of both
buy and sell odd-lot limit orders for the purpose of capturing the
spread in the stock, and order entry practices intended to circumvent
the round-lot market. NYSE Rule 124(A) is on the list of minor rule
violations in NYSE Rule 476A.
    The Exchange previously removed NYSE Rule 124(A) from its rules.\3\
The Exchange neglected to amend NYSE Rule 476A to reflect that change.
This filing would correct that oversight by removing NYSE Rule 124(A)
from the list of minor rule violations in NYSE Rule 476A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 49745 (May 20,
2004), 69 FR 29998 (May 26, 2004) (SR-NYSE-2003-37).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the basis under the Act for this
proposed rule change is the requirement under Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act \4\ that an Exchange have rules that are designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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 would
impose 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

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

III. 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:

Electronic Comments

     Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml.
); or     Send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please include

     Send paper comments in triplicate to Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, Station Place, 100 F
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549-1090.

All submissions should refer to File Number SR-NYSE-2006-34. This file
number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used. To

sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all
written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are
filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to
the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other
than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection and
copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room. Copies of such
filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the
principal office of the NYSE. All comments received will be posted
without change; the Commission does not edit personal identifying
information from submissions. You should submit only information that
you wish to make available publicly. All submissions should refer to
File Number SR-NYSE-2006-34 and should be submitted on or before July
6, 2006.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\5\ In
particular, the Commission believes that the proposal is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ which requires that the rules of an
exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to remove impediments and to perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Commission also believes that
the proposal is consistent with Sections 6(b)(1) and 6(b)(6) of the Act
\7\ which require that the rules of an exchange enforce compliance
with, and provide appropriate discipline for, violations of Commission
and Exchange rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1) and 78f(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with
the public interest, the protection of investors, or otherwise in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as required by Rule 19d-1(c)(2)
under the Act \8\ which governs minor rule violation plans. The
Commission believes that deleting an obsolete provision from the
Exchange's minor rule violation plan is reasonable and consistent with
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19d-1(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of
the Act,\9\ for approving the proposed rule change prior to the
thirtieth day after the date of publication of the notice of the filing
thereof in the Federal Register. Because the proposal merely deletes an
obsolete provision from the Exchange's rules, the Commission believes
that a full notice-and-comment period is not necessary before approving
it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
\10\ and Rule 19d-1(c)(2) thereunder,\11\ that the proposed rule change
(SR-NYSE-2006-34) be, and hereby is, approved and declared effective.
