Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

Background

    The upcoming decommissioning of the Campbell Lake NDB (CMQ) will
require removal of Federal Colored airways A-7 and G-11, and amendment
of A-1 to remove associated airway segments.
    Colored Federal airway A-7 has only one segment that runs from the
Campbell Lake, AK, NDB; to the Mineral Creek, AK, NDB. The airway is
seldom used and can be mitigated by utilizing V-481, or T-226, to the
Johnstone Point, AK, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range
(VOR); then V-319, or T-269 to the Anchorage, AK, VOR.
    Colored Federal airway G-11 navigates aircraft from the Campbell
Lake, AK, NDB, to the Glennallen, AK, NDB, and ends at the Nabesna, AK,
NDB. The portion of the airway from the Glennallen, AK, NDB to the
Nebesna, AK, NDB is not affected by the Campbell Lake, AK, NDB,
however, due to the planned decommissioning of the Glennallen, AK, NDB,
this section will also be removed. Loss of this airway can be mitigated
by utilizing V-456 to the Big Lake, AK, VOR, to the Gulkana, AK, VOR,
then to the Northway, AK, VOR. Furthermore, there is a proposal to
realign Federal airway V-456 to match the current route of G-11, which
allows for a lower Minimum En Route Altitude for pilots to navigate.
This will give pilots an option to navigate at an altitude that does
not require the use of supplemental oxygen, since the anticipated MEA
will be 9,000 feet Mean Sea Level.
    Colored Federal airway A-1 will require removal of the segment
between the Orca Bay, AK, NDB and the Takotna River, AK, NDB. Loss of
this section can be mitigated by utilizing V-319 or T-269 from the
Johnstone Point, AK, VOR to the Anchorage, AK, VOR, then V-440 or T-246
to the McGrath, AK, VOR.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to remove Colored Federal airways A-7 and
G-11, and amend Colored Federal airway A-1. The proposed Colored
Federal airway actions are described below.
    A-7: A-7 currently extends between the Campbell Lake, AK, NDB and
the Mineral Creek, AK, NDB. This action proposes to remove the entire
route.
    G-11: G-11 currently extends between the Campbell Lake, AK, NDB and
the Nabesna, AK, NDB. This action proposes to remove the entire route.
    A-1: A-1 currently extends from the Abbotsford, BC, Canada, NDB and
the Fort Davis, AK, NDB. The FAA proposes to remove the segment between
the Orca Bay, AK, NDB and the Takotna River, AK, NDB. The unaffected
portions of the existing route would remain as charted. The portion
within Canada is excluded.
    Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009 of FAA
Order 7400.11D dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Colored
Federal Airways listed in this document will be subsequently published
in the Order.
    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 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
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Superior, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Superior, WI.
Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate new Area
Navigation (RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures at Richard I.
Bong Airport. The airport's geographic coordinates are also adjusted.
The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June 27, 2013. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone 817-321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 30, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the
Superior, WI, area, creating additional controlled airspace at Richard
I. Bong Airport (77 FR 71363) Docket No. FAA-2012-0656. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective September
15, 2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to ensure that required controlled airspace exists
from the 6.7-mile radius of the airport to 12.2 miles southeast of the
airport to contain aircraft executing new standard instrument approach
procedures at Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI. This action
enhances the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
Geographic coordinates of the airport are also updated to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior,
WI.

Environmental Review

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

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

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The FDA, took more than three years to issue its 241-page Proposed Regulation (and accompanying 81-page regulatory impact analysis), has given we, the consumers and manufactures, a mere 75 days to comment. While responding in that timeframe is challenging, the FDA has also posed approximately 99 requests for information about THR products (this does not include repeat questions or questions specifically pertaining to cigars). Given the length of time FDA has taken to release the proposed regulations, the massive amount of information FDA is requesting, the length of the document itself, and the devastating impact these regulations will have on a product that is estimated to be approximately 99% less hazardous than combustibles, the 75-day comment period is grossly inadequate.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of these products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is very limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they may save my life. Myself and others may wish to provide you with a personal story, as well as, perhaps, scientific and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account.

I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I cannot help but question just who (besides the FDA) is pushing for so many of these regulations.  My motto is always ‘Follow the Money’ and in most instances that has led me to the truth.  I am assuming anyone related to the tobacco industry as well as the pharmaceutical companies, are behind so much of the regulations as they are the ones losing tremendous financial resources!  Obviously I do not want to engage, knowingly, in something that is detrimental to my health.

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

[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1503]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    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).
    These 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. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0177, dated July 23, 2021 (EASA
AD 2021-0177) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-171N; Model A320-271N, -272N, and -
273N airplanes; and Model A321-271N, -272N, -271NX, and -272NX
airplanes.
    This AD was prompted by a report indicating that during inspection
of the engines, two original rods installed to maintain an interface
plate between the pylon and nacelle were found damaged at both rod-eye
ends. Investigation revealed that the rod damage was caused by the high
amplitude of vibrations during take-off and climb flight phases,
generated by engine-driven pump hydraulic pulsation and potential
resonance effects. The FAA is issuing this AD to address damage that
could lead to rupture of the rod-eye ends, which could result in fuel
and hydraulic pipe chafing, consequent fuel or hydraulic leakage, and
possible fire. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0177 specifies procedures for repetitive detailed
inspections for damage (e.g., hole damage, a crack, or an abnormal
deformation) of the left- and right-hand pylon/engine interface rod
ends of the rod attachment fittings, and the interface plate and upper
support brackets, a measurement of the play/gap of the pylon/engine
interface upper and lower rod ends, and applicable corrective actions
including rod replacement. EASA AD 2021-0177 also limits the
installation of affected parts if/unless inspected within the
compliance time specified. This material is reasonably available
because the interested parties have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are 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
described above. The FAA is issuing this AD after determining that the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on
other products of the same type design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2021-0177 described previously, except for any differences identified
as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result,
EASA AD 2021-0177 is incorporated by reference in this AD. This AD
requires compliance with EASA AD 2021-0177 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same as
the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2021-0177 does not mean
that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where
the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance
times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD
2021-0177. Service information required by EASA AD 2021-0177 for
compliance will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0719 after this AD is
published.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. If final action is later
identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because rupture of the rod-eye ends could result in fuel and hydraulic
pipe chafing, consequent fuel or hydraulic leakage, and possible fire.
Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forego notice and
comment.]

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 204 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Labor cost                Parts cost       Cost per product            Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 6 work-hours x $85 per hour               $0  Up to $510...........  Up to $104,040.
 = Up to $510.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting

    The FAA estimates that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be
$17,340, or $85 per product.

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Labor cost             Parts cost         Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 8 work-hours x $85 per               $0  Up to $680.
 hour = Up to $680.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the other on-condition corrective actions for the
operational check specified in this AD.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to take
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. All responses to this collection of

information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

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

    The Exchange proposes to adjust its annual fee requirements for
listed companies for any calendar year in which a listed company
consummates a reverse stock split. The proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange's website at www.nyse.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adjust its annual fee requirements for
listed companies for any calendar year in which a listed company
consummates a reverse stock split.
    Sections 902.02 and 902.03 of the Manual set forth the Exchange's
requirements with respect to the payment of annual fees by listed
companies. Listed companies are billed annual fees on a per share basis
(currently at a rate of $0.0011 per share) based on the number of
shares issued and outstanding (including treasury shares) on December
31 of the prior calendar year.\4\ The Exchange believes this is
generally an appropriate approach, as it is unusual for listed
companies to significantly reduce the number of shares outstanding
during the course of the year and, in fact, companies often issue
significant additional shares during the course of a year and they are
not charged annual fees for those shares in the first partial year
after their issuance (although companies are charged initial listing
fees on any additional shares issued during the course of the year).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ At the beginning of each calendar year, the Exchange
invoices issuers for annual fees applicable to that year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, there may be a small number of listed companies each year
that consummate reverse stock splits. A reverse stock split results in
a significant reduction in the number of shares outstanding, usually
resulting in the post-split shares outstanding representing a small
percentage of the number of shares outstanding pre-split. One
consequence of this is that the listed company's annual fees will
reflect shares that are not outstanding for a portion of that year. The
Exchange believes it is appropriate to address this anomaly,
particularly in light of the fact that a listed company generally only
consummates a reverse stock split to address a low trading price and,
in many cases, may be required to take the action to bring the company
into compliance with Exchange continued listing standards.
    For the foregoing reasons, the Exchange proposes to amend Section
902.02 of the Manual to include a new subsection providing that,
notwithstanding any other provision of Section 902.02 with respect to
the calculation of annual fees, in any calendar year in which a listed
company consummates a reverse stock split, such company will be charged
prorated annual fees for the period prior to such consummation based on
the shares outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding year
(``Original Shares Outstanding''). With respect to the remainder of
that year, such company will be charged annual fees on a prorated basis
based on the Original Shares Outstanding as adjusted by the reverse
split ratio. The Exchange will make any appropriate adjustments to its
billing procedures to implement this provision.
    The Exchange notes that there are typically only a small number of
reverse stock splits consummated by listed companies in the course of a
year. Consequently, the proposed rule change would not affect the
Exchange's

commitment of resources to its regulatory oversight of the listing
process or its regulatory programs.
    The Exchange also proposes to remove from Section 902.03 several
references to fee provisions that are no longer relevant, as those fee
rates are no longer applicable.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \6\ of the Act, in particular, in that it
is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges. The Exchange also believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in that
it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to
foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest
and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers.

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

    The Exchange believes that it is not unfairly discriminatory and
represents an equitable allocation of reasonable fees to adopt the
proposed provision adjusting annual fees for companies that consummate
reverse stock splits, as those companies would otherwise be paying
annual fees on the basis of a far larger number of shares outstanding
than is actually the case for a portion of the applicable calendar
year. In addition, a listed company generally consummates a reverse
stock split because it has a low stock price, including in many cases a
stock price that is below Exchange continued listing requirements, so
it is reasonable to encourage companies to take this action by reducing
their fee burden. The Exchange will make any appropriate adjustments to
its billing procedures to implement the proposed new provision.
    The amendments to Section 902.03 simply remove outdated text and
have no substantive effect.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is
designed to ensure that the fees charged by the Exchange accurately
reflect the services provided and benefits realized by listed
companies. The market for listing services is extremely competitive.
Each listing exchange has a different fee schedule that applies to
issuers seeking to list securities on its exchange. Issuers have the
option to list their securities on these alternative venues based on
the fees charged and the value provided by each listing. Because
issuers have a choice to list their securities on a different national
securities exchange, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed
fee changes impose a burden on competition.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-
4 \9\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge
imposed by the Exchange.

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \10\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
