SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53088; File No. SR-CBOE-2005-92]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Prohibit the
Practice of Unbundling Orders To Maximize Rebates of Fees

 January 10, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On November 7, 2005, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``CBOE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to prohibit the practice of
unbundling orders to maximize rebates of fees. The proposed rule change
was published for notice and comment in the Federal Register on
December 8, 2005.\3\ The Commission received no comments on the
proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(l).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240. 19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52872 (December 1,
2005), 70 FR 73043.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    CBOE proposed to adopt a new rule to expressly prohibit its members
from dividing single orders into multiple orders for the sole purpose
of maximizing market data rebates.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission has reviewed carefully the proposed rule change and
finds that it is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange,\4\ particularly section 6(b)(5) of the Act which, among other
things, requires that the rules of a national securities exchange be
designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating
securities transactions, to remove impediments 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.\5\ The Commission
believes that the proposed rule change should help eliminate the
distortive practice of trade shredding, and, therefore, promote just
and equitable principles of trade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\6\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-CBOE-2005-92), be
and hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Office of Mission Support, Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a new system of records.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Air and
Radiation, Office of Atmospheric Programs, is giving notice that it
proposes to create a new system of records pursuant to the provisions
of the Privacy Act of 1974. This system of records contains personally
identifiable information collected from approved Clean Air Act section
608 technician certification programs that are withdrawing from the
program or having their approval revoked. The system will maintain the
information necessary for EPA to assist certified air-conditioning and
refrigeration technicians who have lost or damaged their certification
cards in obtaining replacement cards when the original cards were
obtained from certification programs that have withdrawn from the
program or have had their approval revoked.

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this new system of records notice
must do so by September 19, 2019. If no comments are received, the
system of records notice will become effective by September 19, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OEI-2017-0205, by one of the following methods:
    Regulations.gov: www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
    Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Mail: OMS Docket, Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    Hand Delivery: OMS Docket, EPA/DC, WJC West Building, Room 3334,
1301

Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. Such deliveries are only accepted
during the Docket's normal hours of operation, and special arrangements
should be made for deliveries of boxed information.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OEI-
2017-0205. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available
online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or other information for
which disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information
that you consider to be CUI or otherwise protected through
www.regulations.gov. The www.regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous
access'' system for EPA, which means the EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. Each agency determines submission requirements within
their own internal processes and standards. EPA has no requirement of
personal information. If you send an email comment directly to the EPA
without going through www.regulations.gov your email address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, the EPA recommends that you include your
name and other contact information in the body of your comment. If the
EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot
contact you for clarification, the EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters,
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For
additional information about the EPA's public docket visit the EPA
Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CUI or other information
for which disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material,
such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OMS
Docket, EPA/DC, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave.
NW, Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the OMS Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) plans to create a Privacy Act system of records for certain
refrigeration and air-conditioning technician records. The information
collected in this system supports the refrigerant management program
under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 608 and implementing regulations
codified in 40 CFR part 82, subpart F. The regulations establish a
certification program for technicians that work on air-conditioning or
refrigeration appliances. Instead of directly testing and issuing
certifications, EPA approves programs that certify technicians.
Certifying programs can voluntarily withdraw when they no longer wish
to certify technicians. When a program withdraws its participation, or
has its approval revoked or failure to abide by the regulatory
requirements, the program must properly dispose of its records by
transferring them to another approved technician certification program
or to EPA. These records will allow EPA to assist certified technicians
in obtaining replacement certification cards.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2016-0237]
RIN 1625-AA11

Regulated Navigation Area; Columbia River, Kalama, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a Regulated Navigation Area
(RNA) covering the waters of the Columbia River between river miles 71
and 73, in the vicinity of the mouth of the Kalama River. This action
is necessary to provide for the safety of the persons and vessels
conducting salvage operations on the subject waters at the Port of
Kalama in Kalama, WA. Specifically, this regulation implements a no-
wake requirement for vessels operating in the RNA during those salvage
operations.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from April 19, 2016
through April 30, 2016. For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice
will be used from April 7, 2016 through April 19, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because to do so would be impracticable since
the salvage operations are on-going and delaying promulgation of the
regulation could result in injury or damage to the persons and vessels
conducting those operations.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective
date until 30 days after publication would be impracticable since the
salvage operations are on-going and delaying promulgation of the
regulation could result in injury or damage to the persons and vessels
conducting those operations.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Columbia River (COTP) has determined that
the wake created by vessels transiting the waters of the Columbia
River, between river miles 71 and 73, creates a safety hazard for the
persons, including divers, and vessels engaged in salvage operations
involving the M/V SPARNA at the Port of Kalama in Kalama, WA. As such,
this rule is necessary to ensure the safety of those persons, including
divers, and vessels.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    The on-going salvage operations at the Port of Kalama, in Kalama,
WA, involve underwater dive operations with support vessels. These
operations are, by their nature, hazardous and sensitive to water
movement. Wakes from passing vessels could pose significant risks of
injury or death to the involved personnel and risks of damage to
involved vessels. In order to mitigate the safety risks vessel wakes
pose to these operations, it is necessary to control vessel movement
through the area. The purpose of this regulation is to ensure the
safety of waterway users for the duration of this salvage operation. In
order to minimize such unexpected or uncontrolled movement of water,
the RNA requires all vessels transiting this area to operate in such a
manner as to create no wake. The RNA will encompass all waters of the
Columbia River between river miles 71 and 73.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory

approaches that maximize net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes
the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing
costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule
has not been designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the limited size,
location, duration of the RNA. In addition, vessel traffic will be able
to transit through this RNA at any time.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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 rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
RNA may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above,
this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel
owner or operator.
    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 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
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined 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
rule involves the temporary establishment of an RNA to deal with an
emergency situation for one week or longer in duration. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An 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 rule.

G. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Wilmington Family YMCA, on behalf of the
North Carolina Department of Transportation, who owns and operates the
Cape Fear River Memorial Bridge across the Cape Fear River, mile 26.8,
and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge across Northeast Cape Fear River, at
mile 1.0, both in Wilmington, NC, requested a temporary deviation from
the current operating schedules to accommodate the 29th Annual
Wilmington Family YMCA Tri-Span race scheduled for July 9, 2011.
    The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift drawbridge with a
vertical clearance of 65 feet above mean high water in the closed
position to vessels and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge is a double-leaf
bascule drawbridge with a vertical clearance of 40 feet above mean high
water in the closed position to vessels.
    Under the regular operating schedules during the requested period
for the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge, the
draws need not open for the passage of vessels from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
on the second Saturday of July of every year set out at 33 CFR 117.823
and at 33 CFR 117.829(a)(4), respectively.
    Due to the extreme high temperatures expected for Saturday July 9,
2011 (the second Saturday of July 2011), the Wellness Director for the
Wilmington Family YMCA requested to change the closure times to vessels
for the aforementioned drawbridges from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. to 7 a.m. to
9 a.m.
    Under this temporary deviation, the drawbridges will be closed to
vessels from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturday July 9, 2011.
    Typical vessel traffic on the Cape Fear River and Northeast Cape
Fear River includes a variety of vessels from freighters, tug and barge
traffic, and recreational vessels. Vessels that can pass under the
bridges without a bridge opening may continue to do so at anytime.
    The Coast Guard has carefully coordinated the restrictions with
commercial and recreational waterway users. The Coast Guard will use
Local and Broadcast Notice to Mariners to inform all users of the
waterways of the closure periods for the bridges so that vessels can
arrange their transits to minimize any impacts caused by the temporary
deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the draw must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period.
    This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under
33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: June 23, 2011.

    By direction of the Commander.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601),
and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. This AD
was prompted by a report that some rudder power control unit (PCU) load
limiters were found in service with the crimping missing from the end
cap; therefore, the pilot command from the load limiter might not
transmit correctly. This AD requires a one-time inspection of the
rudder PCU load limiters for correct crimping of the end cap, and
replacing any defective rudder PCU load limiter. For certain airplanes,
this AD would also require repetitive testing of the rudder PCU load
limiter for correct functioning, and applicable corrective actions. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 25, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of November 25,
2022.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12 (601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-
3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on June 9, 2022 (87 FR 35125). The NPRM was prompted
by TCCA AD CF-2021-33, dated October 6, 2021, issued by Transport
Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation authority for
Canada, (referred to after this as the MCAI).
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require a one-time inspection of
the rudder PCU load limiters for correct crimping of the end cap, and
replacing any defective rudder PCU load limiter. For certain airplanes,
the FAA also proposed to require repetitive testing of the rudder PCU
load limiter for correct functioning, and applicable corrective
actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address defective rudder PCU
load limiters, which could result in incorrect transmission of the
pilot command, and loss of control of the rudder.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-0603.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from NetJets and one individual. The
commenters noted the following typographical errors in the proposed AD:
     For serial numbers 5701 through 5988, the service bulletin
reference should be ``605-27-010'' instead of ``650-27-010.''
     For serial numbers 6050 through 6158, the service bulletin
reference should be ``650-27-003'' instead of ``605-27-003.''
    The FAA has corrected these errors in the Related Service
Information section and in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

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