Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF06-9-000]

Overthrust Pipeline Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Overthrust Expansion Project
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

December 30, 2005.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Overthrust Expansion Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Overthrust
Pipeline Company (Overthrust) in Uinta and Lincoln Counties, Wyoming.
The project would consist of approximately 28 miles of 36-inch-diameter
pipeline and ancilliary facilities that would connect Overthrust's
existing pipeline with an existing Kern River Transmission Company
(Kern River) pipeline. This EA will be used by the Commission in its
decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process that the
Commission will use to gather environmental input from the public and
interested agencies on the project. Your input will help determine
which issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the
scoping period will close on January 30, 2006. Details on how to submit
comments are provided in the Public Participation section of this
notice.
    The FERC will be the lead federal agency for the preparation of the
EA. The document will satisfy the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Overthrust Expansion Project is in
the preliminary design state. At this time, no formal application has
been filed with the FERC. A docket number (PF06-9-000) has been
established to place information filed by Overthrust, and related
documents issued by the Commission, into the public record. Once a
formal application is filed with the FERC, a new docket number will be
established.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested
parties; and local libraries and newspapers. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities.
The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that
approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if
easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline
company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with
state law.
    With this notice, we \1\ are asking other Federal, state, local,
and tribal agencies with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with
respect to environmental issues to cooperate with us in the preparation
of the EA. Agencies that would like to request cooperating status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ''We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?'' was attached to the
project notice Overthrust provided to landowners. This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.
It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov
).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Overthrust is seeking authority to construct and operate a new 36-
inch-diameter pipeline, approximately 28 miles long, to be located
adjacent to other existing pipeline facilities. The proposed pipeline
would extend from Overthrust's existing pipeline in Uinta, Wyoming to a
Kern River interconnect located at Opal Market Center in Lincoln,
Wyoming and would transport up to 550,000 dekatherms of natural gas per
day (Dth/d). Overthrust also proposes to construct interconnect
facilities and other ancillary facilities along the proposed route
including at the existing Blacks Fork Processing Plant and the Roberson
Creek delivery point.
    The proposed pipeline would cross land owned by five private and
public landowners, the public landowners being the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and the State of Wyoming.
    A general overview map of the major project facilities is provided
in Appendix 1.\2\

in the Federal Register. A copy of this notice is available on the
Commission's website at the ``eLibrary'' link or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First St., NE., Washington,

were sent to all those receiving this notice in the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EA Process

    NEPA requires the Commission to take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA
also requires us to discover and address concerns the public may have
about proposals. This

process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping
process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, we are requesting
public comments on the scope of the issues that should be addressed in
the EA. We will consider all comments received during scoping in the
preparation of the EA.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies; elected
officials; environmental and public interest groups; other interested
parties; affected landowners; Native American tribes; libraries, and
newspapers; and the Commission's official service list for this
proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is
published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our
recommendations to the Commission.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    At this time no formal application has been filed with the FERC.
For this project, the FERC staff has initiated its NEPA review prior to
receiving the application. The purpose of the Commission's Pre-Filing
Process is to involve interested stakeholders early in project planning
and to identify and resolve issues before an application is filed with
the FERC.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the proposal. By becoming a commentor, your
concerns will be addressed in the EA and considered by the Commission.
You should focus on the potential environmental effects of the
proposal, alternatives to the proposal (including alternative
locations), and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impact. The
more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. Please
carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your comments are
received in time and properly recorded:
     Send an original and two copies of your letter to: Magalie

Gas Branch 1, DG2E; and
     Reference Docket No. PF06-9-000 on the original and both
copies.
     Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before January 30, 2006.
    We will include all comments that we receive within a reasonable
time frame in our environmental analysis of the project. To expedite
our receipt and consideration of your comments, the Commission strongly
encourages electronic submission of any comments or interventions or
protests to this proceeding. See Title 18 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's

Exchange, on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The 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 modify the ``Options Pricing'' section of
its fee schedule to: (i) Adopt definitions of ``Customer,'' ``Firm,''
and ``Market Maker'' for purposes of routing pricing; (ii) modify its
pricing for standard best execution routing; (iii) implement discounted
pricing for Destination Specific Orders; and (iv) modify its pricing
for Directed ISOs. In addition, the Exchange proposes to modify the fee
schedule applicable to equities trading by changing the reference to
the default best execution strategy.

(i) Adoption of Definitions

    The Exchange proposes to distinguish pricing for routed orders that
are executed at away options exchanges based on the clearing status of
the order due to the fact that most other options exchanges to which
orders are routed maintain such distinctions. Accordingly the Exchange
proposes to adopt definitions of ``Customer,'' ``Firm,'' and ``Market
Maker'' for purposes of its fee schedule. The proposed definitions
state that each category applies to transactions identified by a Member
for clearing in the applicable range (i.e., Customer, Firm or Market
Maker) at the Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'').

(ii) Standard Best Execution Routing Pricing

    The Exchange currently charges $0.05 per contract for transactions
executed at away markets pursuant to its best execution routing
strategies, and passes through, in addition to that fee, all
destination exchange fees charged to the Exchange for executing on away
markets. The Exchange proposes to further simplify its pricing for best
execution routing strategies by setting flat rates for transactions
executed at away markets pursuant to any of its best execution routing
strategies (i.e., ``CYCLE'', ``RECYCLE'', ``Parallel D'' and ``Parallel
2D''). As proposed, regardless of the best execution strategy selected,
the charge for a Customer transaction executed away will be $0.30 per
contract and the charge for a Firm or Market Maker transaction executed
away will be $0.50 per contract.

(iii) Discounted Pricing for Destination Specific Orders

    The Exchange proposes to adopt for its options platform a pricing
model similar to a pricing model it offers to users of its equities
platform. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to introduce discounted
fees for use of its Destination Specific Order \7\ routing strategies.
The Exchange proposes to charge flat rates for Customer, Firm and
Market Maker transactions executed at away markets pursuant to
Destination Specific routing, which rates will vary depending on the
venue at which transactions execute, as described in further detail
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ As defined in BATS Rule 21.1(d)(7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to charge for Destination Specific Orders
that are executed at away options exchanges that are divided into three
categories. The Exchange proposes to adopt pricing for two distinct
categories of options exchanges with ``Make/Take'' pricing.\8\ The
first category of Make/Take pricing is proposed to apply to Destination
Specific Orders executed at the International Stock Exchange (``ISE'')
or NASDAQ OMX PHLX (``PHLX'') in issues for which Make/Take pricing
applies. The fee for this first category of Make/Take markets is
proposed as $0.20 per contract for Customer transactions and $0.50 per
contract for Firm or Market Maker transactions. The second category of
Make/Take pricing is proposed to apply to Destination Specific Orders
executed at NYSE Arca Options (``NYSE Arca'') in issues for which Make/
Take pricing applies or the NASDAQ Options Market (``NOM''). The fee
for the second category of Make/Take markets is proposed as $0.40 per
contract for Customer transactions and $0.50 per contract for Firm or
Market Maker transactions. Finally, the Exchange proposes to categorize
options exchanges as ``Classic'' to the extent such options exchanges
do not have a Make/Take pricing structure or do not apply Make/Take
pricing to certain transactions. For executions that occur at Classic
venues, including the American Stock Exchange (``AMEX''), Boston
Options Exchange (``BOX'') and Chicago Board Options Exchange
(``CBOE'') as well as the ISE, PHLX and NYSE Arca Options in non-Make/
Take issues, the Exchange proposes to charge $0.05 per contract for
Customer transactions and $0.50 per contract for Firm or Market Maker
transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ As proposed to be defined on the fee schedule, Make/Take
pricing refers to executions at the identified Exchange under which
``Post Liquidity'' or ``Maker'' rebates (``Make'') are credited by
that exchange and ``Take Liquidity'' or ``Taker'' fees (``Take'')
are charged by that Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed Destination Specific Order
pricing in most instances will result in lower execution fees at away
venues in each category than if orders were routed directly by a Member
to such venues. To the extent any anomalies exist or away options
exchanges modify pricing such that the Destination Specific fee is not,
in fact, a discount from pricing that the Member may pay directly, the
Exchange believes that Members will benefit from the simplicity of the
pricing structure.

(iv) Directed ISO Pricing

    The Exchange currently charges $0.10 per contract for routed
Directed ISOs executed at away markets,\9\ and passes through, in
addition to that fee, all destination exchange fees charged to the
Exchange for executing on away markets. The Exchange proposes to
further simplify its pricing for Directed ISOs by setting flat rates
for Directed ISOs that bypass the Exchange's order book and execute at
away venues. As proposed, the charge for a Customer Directed ISO
transaction will be $0.50 per contract and the charge for a Firm

or Market Maker Directed ISO transaction will be $0.60 per contract.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ As defined in BATS Rule 21.1(d)(12).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v) Equities Best Execution Routing

    In the ``Equities Pricing'' portion of the fee schedule the
Exchange currently reflects its default best execution routing strategy
as ``DRT + CYCLE''. Effective October 1, 2010, the Exchange's default
best execution routing strategy will be ``DRT + Parallel D.'' \10\ The
Exchange proposes to modify the reference to the default strategy in
light of this change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The Exchange's routing strategies are defined in BATS Rule
11.13
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\11\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\12\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the
Exchange operates or controls. As described below, the Exchange
believes that its fees and credits are competitive with those charged
by other venues and that the changes the Exchange has proposed will
simplify the Exchange's pricing model.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The various routing fees proposed by this filing, including fees
for destination specific orders and best execution routing strategies
offered by the Exchange, are intended to attract order flow to BATS
Options by offering competitive and easy to understand rates to
Exchange Members, especially those representing order flow that clears
in the Customer range at the OCC. Accordingly, some of the changes the
Exchange has proposed will result in reduced fees that will benefit
Members due to the obvious economic savings those Members will receive
and the potential of increased available liquidity at the Exchange. In
addition, the Exchange believes that the simplicity and certainty of
its fee schedule will be a benefit to some Members. The Exchange notes
that it does not currently operate any auctions through which orders
are held and broadcast to its membership, nor does the Exchange engage
in any payment for order flow practices. Rather, the Exchange is
proposing to enhance its transparent market structure with an easy to
understand and transparent pricing structure by further simplifying its
routing fees. The Exchange believes that its proposed flat routing
rates are, on average, better than or equal to the fees a market
participant would pay if routing directly to certain market centers,
especially with respect to Customer orders. The Exchange notes that it
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants
can readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee
levels at a particular venue to be excessive. Also, although routing
options are available to all Members, Members are not required to use
the Exchange's routing services, but instead, the Exchange's routing
services are completely optional. Members can manage their own routing
to different options exchanges or can utilize a myriad of other routing
solutions that are available to market participants.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change imposes
any 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.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change has been designated as a fee
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \13\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\14\ because it establishes or changes a due,
fee or other charge imposed on members by the Exchange. Accordingly,
the proposal is effective upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

eligible to serve additional terms of office. Members will not receive
