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

    Topaz is proposing is proposing [sic] to establish certain market
data offerings. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.ise.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to establish three
market data offerings: the Topaz order feed (``Order Feed''), the Topaz
top quote feed (``Top Quote Feed''), and the Topaz depth of market raw
data feed (``Depth Feed'').
    The Order Feed provides real-time data on every order that rests on
the Topaz order book. The Top Quote Feed provides real-time aggregated
volume of all quotes and orders at the top price level on the Exchange,
i.e., the Best Bid or Offer (``BBO''). Finally, the Depth Feed provides
real-time aggregated volume of all quotes and orders available at each
of the top five price levels on the Exchange. Each of these market data
feeds is described in greater detail below. The feeds provide valuable
information that can help subscribers make informed investment
decisions, and operate in the same manner as feeds offered by the
International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''). Each of these feeds
is available to members and non-members, and to both professional and
non-professional subscribers. The Exchange will submit a separate
proposal to establish fees for these market data offerings, which will
be provided to market participants for free until such fees are
adopted.
Order Feed
    The Order Feed provides real-time updates to subscribers every time
a new limit order that is not immediately executable at the BBO is
placed on the Topaz order book. The Order Feed also announces the
commencement of auctions including Flash, Facilitation, Solicitation,
Block Order and Price Improvement Mechanisms, as well as Directed
Orders, but does not include Immediate or Cancel (``IOC'') or Fill or
Kill (``FOK'') orders, quotes, or any non-displayed interest. The
information included on the Order Feed includes auction type, order
side (i.e., buy/sell), order price, order size, and a market
participant (e.g., priority customer) indicator, as well as details for
each instrument series, including the symbols (series and underlying
security), put or call indicator, the expiration date, and the strike
price of the series. While the Options Price Reporting Authority
(``OPRA'') feed, as well as the Top Quote and Depth Feeds each provide
aggregated order and quote information, the Order Feed provides each
individual limit order, not including quote traffic, resulting in lower
bandwidth usage and less data for subscribers to process.
Top Quote & Depth Feeds
    The Top Quote and Depth Feeds are each real-time market data feeds
that aggregate non-marketable, displayed quotes and orders on the
Exchange on both the bid and offer side of the market. The Top Quote
Feed provides aggregate quotes and orders at the top price level on the
Exchange, and provides subscribers with a consolidated view of tradable
prices at the BBO or ``top of book.'' The Depth Feed, on the other
hand, provides aggregate quotes and orders at the top five price levels
on the Exchange, and provides subscribers with a consolidated view of
tradable prices beyond the BBO, showing additional liquidity and
enhancing transparency for Topaz traded options. The data provided for
each instrument includes the symbols (series and underlying security),
put or call indicator, expiration date, the strike price of the series,
and trading status. In addition, subscribers are provided with total
quantity, customer quantity (if present), price, and side (i.e., bid/
ask). This information is provided for the top price level on the Top
Quote Feed, and for each of the five indicated price levels on the
Depth Feed.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\4\ in general and with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in
particular in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In adopting Regulation NMS, the Commission granted self-regulatory
organizations and broker-dealers increased authority and flexibility to
offer new and unique market data to the public. It was believed that
this authority would expand the amount of data available to consumers,
and also spur innovation and competition for the provision of market
data. The Exchange believes that this proposal is in keeping with those
principles by promoting increased transparency through the
dissemination of more useful proprietary data and also by clarifying
its availability to market participants.
    Additionally, the Exchange is making a voluntary decision to make
this data available as it is not required to furnish this data under
the Act. The Exchange chooses to make the data available as proposed in
order to improve market quality, to attract order flow, and to increase
transparency. The Exchange notes that the data provided on each of
these feeds is the same as data provided by the ISE with respect to
options traded on that exchange. The Exchange believes that is in the
public interest to make similar information available with respect to
options traded on Topaz.
    The Order, Top Quote, and Depth Feeds are each designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade by providing all subscribers
with data that should enable them to make informed decisions on trading
in Topaz options by using the data to assess current market conditions
that directly affect such decisions. The market data provided by each
of these feeds removes impediments to, and is designed to further
perfect, the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market
system by making the Topaz market

more transparent and accessible to market participants making routing
decisions concerning their options orders.
    The market data products are also designed to protect investors and
the public interest by providing data to subscribers that is already
currently available on other exchanges, and will enable Topaz to
compete with such other exchanges, thereby offering market participants
with additional data in order to seek the market center with the best
price and the most liquidity on which to execute their transactions,
all to the benefit of investors and the public interest, and to the
marketplace as a whole.

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. On the contrary, the
Exchange believes that the proposed market data products will enhance
competition in the U.S. options markets by providing similar data to
that which is currently provided on other options exchanges. The
Exchange believes that each of these market data feeds will help
attract new users and new order flow to the Exchange, thereby improving
the Exchange's ability to compete in the market for options order flow
and executions.

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

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

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is an export control
arrangement among 34 nations, including most of the world's advanced
suppliers of ballistic missiles and missile-related materials and
equipment. The regime establishes a common export control policy based
on a list of controlled items (the Annex) and on guidelines (the
Guidelines) that member countries implement in accordance with their
national export controls. The goal of maintaining the Annex and the
Guidelines is to stem the flow of missile systems capable of delivering
weapons of mass destruction to the global marketplace.
    While the MTCR was originally created to prevent the spread of
missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, it was expanded in
January 1993 to also stem the flow of delivery systems for chemical and
biological weapons. MTCR members voluntarily pledge to adopt the
regime's export Guidelines and to restrict the export of items
contained in the regime's Annex. The implementation of the regime's
Guidelines is effectuated through the national export control laws and
policies of the regime members.

Amendments to the Export Administration Regulations

    This final rule revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
to reflect changes to the MTCR Annex agreed to at the November 2007
Plenary in Athens, Greece. Specifically, in section 772.1 (Definitions
of Terms as Used in the Export Administration Regulations), this rule
amends the technical notes to the definition of the term ``payload'' to
include munitions supporting structures and deployment mechanisms under
paragraphs (e)(5) and (e)(7) (MTCR Annex Change Definitions:
``Payload'' Technical Notes 5.e and 5.g). This will clarify under the
paragraph (e) technical notes to the definition of ``payload'' that
payload for ``other UAVs'' (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) includes
munitions supporting structures and deployment mechanisms.

    In addition, this rule amends the Commerce Control List (CCL)
(Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR) to reflect changes to the
MTCR Annex. Specifically, the following Export Control Classification
Numbers (ECCNs) are affected:
    ECCN 1C111 paragraph (b) is amended by adding additional text to
clarify the scope of materials controlled in this entry (MTCR Annex
Change Category II: Item 4.C.5). Specifically, paragraph b.1 is amended
to state that carboxy-terminated polybutadiene includes carboxyl-
terminated polybutadiene. Similarly, paragraph b.2 is amended to state
that hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene includes hydroxyl-terminated
polybutadiene. BIS expects this change to have a minimal impact on
license applications.
    ECCN 1C116 is amended by adding text to the heading to clarify the
scope of the entry (MTCR Annex Change Category II: Item 6.C.8). This
change is made to clarify that maraging steels are iron alloys
generally characterized by high nickel, very low carbon content, and
the use of substitutional elements or precipitates to produce
strengthening and age-hardening of the alloy. BIS expects this change
to have a minimal impact on license applications.
    ECCN 2B116 paragraph (a) is amended by removing the word ``and''
and replacing it with ``while'' to clarify the scope of the vibration
test modes controlled under this paragraph (MTCR Annex Change Category
II: Item 15.B.1.a). BIS expects this change to have no impact on
license applications.
    ECCN 9B106 is amended by modifying the heading to read
``Environmental chambers usable for rockets, missiles, or unmanned
aerial vehicles capable of achieving a ``range'' equal to or greater
than 300 km and their subsystems, as follows (see List of Items
Controlled)''. This change makes it clear that this ECCN controls these
types of environmental chambers useable for these types of systems and
their subsystems. Paragraph (a) of this ECCN is amended by removing
paragraph a.1, redesignating paragraph a.2 as a new paragraph a.1, and
inserting a new paragraph a.2 that includes a new control parameter.
The new control parameter in paragraph a.2 specifies that environmental
chambers controlled by this ECCN include those incorporating, or
designed or modified to incorporate, a shaker unit or other vibration
test equipment that produce vibration environments equal to or greater
than 10 g rms, measured `bare table', between 20 Hz and 2 kHz imparting
forces equal to or greater than 5 kN (MTCR Annex Change Category II:
Item 15.B.4).
    In addition, paragraph (a) of ECCN 9B106 is amended by adding a
technical note to clarify the control text and to include controls on
environmental chambers that are capable of incorporating shaker units
or vibration test equipment, even if the shaker units or vibration test
equipment are not included at the time of export (MTCR Annex Change
Category II: Item 15.B.4). This change is being made to the EAR to
address a missile proliferation concern of the MTCR members with regard
to this type of equipment and its usefulness in MTCR type systems
(e.g., missile delivery systems). Prior to this change, environmental
chambers that were capable of incorporating shaker units or vibration
test equipment could be exported without being subject to an MT control
when the chambers were exported separately from the shaker units or
vibration test equipment controlled under this ECCN. In addition, prior
to this change, shaker units or vibration test equipment, when exported
separately from the environmental chambers controlled under this ECCN,
could be exported without being subject to an MT control. BIS expects
this amendment to the EAR to cause a slight increase in license
applications.

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden
aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export or reexport, on June 16, 2008, pursuant to
actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may
proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a
License Exception or export or reexport without a license (NLR) so long
as they are exported or reexported before July 16, 2008. Any such items
not actually exported or reexported before midnight, on July 16, 2008,
require a license in accordance with this rule.
    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 15,
2007, 72 FR 46137 (August 16, 2007), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any 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 Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This
collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which
carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic
submission.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs
function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other
law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity
for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of
proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not
required to be given for this rule under the Administrative Procedure
Act or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Therefore,
this regulation is issued in final form.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 17a-5

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17a-
5 (17 CFR 240.17a-5), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17a-5 is the basic financial reporting rule for brokers and
dealers.\1\ The rule requires the filing of Form X-17A-5, the Financial
and Operational Combined Uniform Single Report (``FOCUS Report''),
which was the result of years of study and comments by representatives
of the securities industry through advisory committees and through the
normal rule proposal methods. The FOCUS Report was designed to
eliminate the overlapping regulatory reports required by various self-
regulatory organizations and the Commission and to reduce reporting
burdens as much as possible. The rule also requires the filing of an
annual audited report of financial statements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Rule 17a-5(c) requires a broker or dealer to furnish certain
of its financial information to customers and is subject to a
separate PRA filing (OMB Control Number 3235-0199).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FOCUS Report consists of: (1) Part I, which is a monthly report
that must be filed by brokers or dealers that clear transactions or
carry customer securities; (2) one of three alternative quarterly
reports: Part II, which must be filed by brokers or dealers that clear
transactions or carry customer securities; Part IIA, which must be
filed by brokers or dealers that do not clear transactions or carry
customer securities; and Part IIB, which must be filed by specialized
broker-dealers registered with the Commission as OTC derivatives
dealers; \2\ (3) supplemental schedules, which must be filed annually;
and (4) a facing page, which must be filed with the annual audited
report of financial statements. Under the rule, a broker or dealer that
computes certain of its capital charges in accordance with Appendix E
to Exchange Act Rule 15c3-1 must file additional monthly, quarterly,
and annual reports with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Part IIB of Form X-17A-5 must be filed by OTC derivatives
dealers under Exchange Act Rule 17a-12 and is subject to a separate
PRA filing (OMB control number 3235-0498).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission estimates that the total hour burden under Rule 17a-
5 is approximately 328,746 hours per year when annualized, and the
total cost burden under Rule 17a-5 is approximately $35,287,127 per
year.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing of Advance Notice To Revise the Method for Determining
the Minimum Clearing Fund Size To Include Consideration of the Amount
Necessary To Draw on Secured Credit Facilities

November 14, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 806(e)(1) of the Payment, Clearing, and
Settlement Supervision Act of 2010 (``Clearing Supervision Act'') \1\
and Rule 19b-4(n)(1)(i),\2\ notice is hereby given that on October 18,
2012, The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the advance notice
described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared
primarily by OCC. The Commission is

publishing this notice to solicit comments on the advance notice from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 12 U.S.C. 5465(e)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(n)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Advance
Notice

    OCC proposes to revise the method for determining the minimum
clearing fund size to include consideration of the amount necessary for
OCC to draw on its secured credit facilities.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Advance Notice

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the advance notice and
discussed any comments it received on the advance notice. The text of
these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and
(C) below, of the most significant aspects of these statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Advance Notice

    The purpose of this advance notice is to implement a minimum
clearing fund size equal to 110% of the amount of committed credit
facilities secured by the clearing fund to ensure that the amount of
the clearing fund likely will exceed the required collateral value that
would be necessary for OCC to be able to draw in full on such credit
facilities. OCC's clearing fund is primarily intended to provide a high
degree of assurance that market integrity will be maintained in the
event that one or more clearing members or other specified entities to
which OCC has credit exposure fails to meet its obligations.\4\ This
includes the potential use of the clearing fund as a source of
liquidity should it ever be the case that OCC is unable to obtain
prompt delivery of, or convert promptly to cash, any asset credited to
the account of a suspended clearing member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Under Article VIII, Section 1 of OCC's By-Laws, the clearing
fund may be used to pay losses suffered by OCC: (1) As a result of
the failure of a clearing member to perform its obligations with
regard to any exchange transaction accepted by OCC; (2) as a result
of a clearing member's failure to perform its obligations in respect
of an exchange transaction or an exercised/assigned options
contract, or any other contract or obligations in respect of which
OCC is liable; (3) as a result of the failure of a clearing member
to perform its obligations in respect of stock loan or borrow
positions; (4) as a result of a liquidation of a suspended clearing
member's open positions; (5) in connection with protective
transactions of a suspended clearing member; (6) as a result of a
failure of any clearing member to make any other required payment or
to render any other required performance; or (7) as a result of a
failure of any bank or securities or commodities clearing
organization to perform its obligations to OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 23, 2011, the Commission approved a proposed rule
change by OCC to establish the size of OCC's clearing fund as the
amount that is required, within a confidence level selected by OCC, to
sustain the maximum anticipated loss under a defined set of scenarios
as determined by OCC, subject to a minimum clearing fund size of $1
billion.\5\ OCC implemented this change in May 2012. Until that time,
the size of OCC's clearing fund was calculated each month as a fixed
percentage of the average total daily margin requirement for the
preceding month, provided that the calculation resulted in a clearing
fund of $1 billion or more.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-65386 (September 23,
2011), 76 FR 60572 (September 29, 2011) (SR-OCC-2011-10).
    \6\ If the calculation did not result in a clearing fund size of
$1 billion or more, then the percentage of the average total daily
margin requirement for the preceding month that resulted in a fund
level of at least $1 billion would be applied. However, in no event
was the percentage permitted to exceed 7%. With the rule change
approved in September 2011, this 7% limiting factor on the minimum
clearing fund size was eliminated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the formula that is implemented for determining the size of
the clearing fund as a result of the May 2012 change, OCC's Rules
provide that the amount of the fund is equal to the larger of the
amount of the charge to the fund that would result from (i) a default
by the single ``clearing member group'' \7\ whose default would be
likely to result in the largest draw against the clearing fund or (ii)
an event involving the near-simultaneous default of two randomly-
selected ``clearing member groups'' in each case as calculated by OCC
with a confidence level selected by OCC.\8\ The size of the clearing
fund continues to be recalculated monthly, based on a monthly averaging
of daily calculations for the previous month, and it is subject to a
requirement that its minimum size may not be less than $1 billion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The term ``clearing member group'' is defined in OCC's By-
Laws to mean a clearing member and any member affiliates of the
clearing member.
    \8\ The confidence levels employed by OCC in calculating the
charge likely to result from a default by OCC's largest ``clearing
member group'' and the default of two randomly-selected ``clearing
member groups'' were approved by the Commission at 99% and 99.9%,
respectively. However, the Commission approval order notes that OCC
retains discretion to employ different confidence levels in these
calculations provided that OCC will not employ confidence levels of
less than 99% without first filing a proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This minimum dollar size for OCC's clearing fund is the subject of
this advance notice. OCC maintains committed credit facilities that are
secured by the clearing fund in order to provide a source of liquidity
in the event of a default by a clearing member or one of OCC's
settlement banks. The change arises out of a regular review that OCC
conducts in order to determine the appropriate aggregate amount of such
committed credit facilities. In addition to its liquidity exposure to
the potential failure of a clearing member, OCC also evaluates its
liquidity exposure to settlement banks in respect of their ability to
wire net settlement proceeds in time for OCC to meet its settlement
obligations at one or more of OCC's other settlement banks as well as
OCC's credit exposure to banks that issue letters of credit on behalf
of clearing members as a form of margin.
    OCC's committed credit facilities are secured by assets in the
clearing fund and certain margin deposits of suspended clearing
members. In light of the uncertainty regarding the amount of margin
assets of a suspended clearing member that might be eligible at any
given point to support borrowing under the secured credit facilities,
OCC has considered the availability of funds based on a consideration
of the amount of the clearing fund deposits available as collateral. To
draw on the full amount of its credit facilities secured by the
clearing fund, the size of the clearing fund would need to be
approximately $2.2 billion. The $2.2 billion figure reflects a 10%
increase above the total size of such credit facilities, which is meant
to account for the percentage discount applied to collateral pledged by
OCC in determining the amount available for borrowing.
    Based on monthly recalculation information, the size of OCC's
clearing fund during the period from July 2011 to July 2012 was less
than $2.2 billion on eight occasions. Therefore, to address the risk
that the assets in the clearing fund might at any time be insufficient
to enable OCC to meet potential liquidity needs by fully accessing its
committed credit facilities that are secured by the clearing fund, the
proposed rule change described by the advance notice would amend the
requirement that the minimum size of the clearing fund cannot be less
than $1 billion by providing instead that the minimum clearing fund
size would be equal to the greater of either $1 billion or 110% of the
amount of such committed credit facilities. OCC proposes to denote the
credit facility component of the minimum clearing fund requirement as a
percentage of the total amount of the credit facilities that

OCC actually secures with clearing fund assets because OCC negotiates
these credit facility agreements, including size and other terms, on an
annual basis and the total size is therefore subject to change.

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC does not believe that the proposed changes contained in the
advance notice will have any impact or impose any burden on
competition.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Advance Notice
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule changes contained in the advance notice.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Advance Notice and Timing for
Commission Action

    The proposed changes contained in the advance notice may be
implemented pursuant to Section 806(e)(1)(G) of Clearing Supervision
Act \9\ if the Commission does not object to the proposed changes
within 60 days of the later of (i) the date that the advance notice was
filed with the Commission or (ii) the date that any additional
information requested by the Commission is received. The clearing
agency shall not implement the proposed changes contained in the
advance notice if the Commission objects to the proposed changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 12 U.S.C. 5465.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission may extend the period for review by an additional 60
days if the proposed changes raise novel or complex issues, subject to
the Commission providing the clearing agency with prompt written notice
of the extension. Proposed changes may be implemented in fewer than 60
days from the date the advance notice is filed, or the date further
information requested by the Commission is received, if the Commission
notifies the clearing agency in writing that it does not object to the
proposed changes and authorizes the clearing agency to implement the
proposed changes on an earlier date, subject to any conditions imposed
by the Commission.
    The proposals contained in this advance notice shall not take
effect until all regulatory actions required with respect to the
proposals are completed.\10\ The clearing agency shall post notice on
its Web site of proposed changes that are implemented.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ OCC also filed the proposals contained in this advance
notice as a proposed rule change under Section 19(b)(1) of the
Exchange Act and Rule 19b-4 thereunder. 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1); 17 CFR
240.19b-4. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, within
forty-five days of the date of publication of the proposed rule
change in the Federal Register or within such longer period up to
ninety days if the Commission designates or the self-regulatory
organization consents the Commission will either: (i) By order
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change or (ii) institute
proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be
disapproved. 17 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(A). See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 34-68130 (November 1, 2012), 77 FR 66900 (November 7,

RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone: City of Benicia Fourth of July Fireworks Display,
Carquinez Strait, Benicia, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the
navigable waters of the Carquinez Strait near Benicia, CA in support of
the Benicia Fourth of July Fireworks Display on July 4, 2019. This
safety zone is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from the dangers associated with pyrotechnics. Unauthorized
persons and vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting
through, or remaining in the safety zone without permission of the
Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 9:15 p.m. through 10:35 p.m. on July
4, 2019.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final 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. Since the Coast Guard received final details
of this event on April 18, 2019, notice and comment procedures would be
impracticable in this instance.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For similar reasons as stated
above, notice and comment procedures would be impractical in this
instance due to the short notice provided for this event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port San
Francisco (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with
the Benicia Fourth of July Fireworks Display on July 4, 2019, will be a
safety concern for anyone within a 420-foot radius of the fireworks
firing site. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in the navigable waters around the safety zone
during the fireworks display.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone around the fireworks
firing site for the Benicia Fourth of July Fireworks Display. At 9:15
p.m. on July 4, 2019, 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the 20-
minute fireworks display, the safety zone will encompass the navigable
waters of the Carquinez Strait, from surface to bottom, within a circle
formed by connecting all points 420 feet out from the fireworks firing
site located on the Benicia 1st Street public pier at approximate
position 38[deg]02'40'' N, 122[deg]09'55'' W (NAD 83). The safety zone
will terminate at approximately 10:35 p.m. on July 4, 2019.
    The effect of the safety zone is to restrict navigation in the
vicinity of the fireworks firing site. Except for persons or vessels
authorized by the COTP or the COTP's designated representative, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in the restricted area. This
regulation is needed to keep spectators and vessels away from the
immediate vicinity of the fireworks firing site to ensure the safety of
participants, spectators, and transiting vessels.

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 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the limited
duration and narrowly tailored geographic area of the safety zone.
Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by the
safety zone, the effect of this rule will

not be significant because the local waterway users will be notified
via public Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure the safety zone will
result in minimum impact. The entities most likely to be affected are
waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged
in recreational activities.

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.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: Owners and operators of waterfront facilities,
commercial vessels, and pleasure craft engaged in recreational
activities and sightseeing, if these facilities or vessels are in the
vicinity of the safety zone at times when this zone is being enforced.
This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities for the following reasons: (i) This rule will
encompass only a small portion of the waterway for a limited period of
time, and (ii) the maritime public will be advised in advance of this
safety zone via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    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
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
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 a safety zone of limited size and
duration. It is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph L60(a) in Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental
Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

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.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0161]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Export of Food and Drug Administration Regulated
Products: Export Certificates

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on information collection
requirements imposed on firms that intend to export to countries that
require an export certificate as a condition of entry for FDA regulated
products, pharmaceuticals, biologics, and devices as indicated in the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) as amended.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection
of information by January 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE-14526, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Export of Food and Drug Administration Regulated Products: Export
Certificates (OMB Control Number 0910-0498)--Extension

    In April 1996, a law entitled ``The FDA Export Reform and
Enhancement Act of 1996'' (FDAERA) amended sections 801(e) and 802 of
the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 381(e) and 382). It was designed to ease
restrictions on exportation of unapproved pharmaceuticals, biologics,
and devices regulated by FDA. Section 801(e)(4) of the FDAERA provides
that persons exporting certain FDA regulated products may request FDA
to certify that the products meet the requirements of 801(e) and 802 or
other requirements of the FD&C Act. This section of the law requires
FDA to issue certification within 20 days of receipt of the request and
to charge firms up to $175 for the certifications.
    This section of the FD&C Act authorizes FDA to issue export
certificates for regulated pharmaceuticals, biologics, and devices that
are legally marketed in the United States, as well as for these same
products that are not legally marketed but are acceptable to the
importing country, as specified in sections 801(e)

and 802 of the FD&C Act. FDA has developed five types of certificates
that satisfy the requirements of section 801(e)(4)(B) of the FD&C Act:
(1) Certificates to Foreign Governments, (2) Certificates of
Exportability, (3) Certificates of a Pharmaceutical Product, and (4)
Non-Clinical Research Use Only Certificates. Table 1 of this document
lists the different certificates and details their use:

                                          product in question is under
                                          consideration for a product
                                          license that will authorize
                                          its importation and sale or
                                          for renewal, extension,
                                          amending, or reviewing a
                                          license.

                                          marketed in, and legally
                                          exported from the United
                                          States under the FD&C Act.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FDA will continue to rely on self-certification by manufacturers
for the first three types of certificates listed in table 1 of this
document. Manufacturers are requested to self-certify that they are in
compliance with all applicable requirements of the FD&C Act, not only
at the time that they submit their request to the appropriate center,
but also at the time that they submit the certification to the foreign
government.
    The appropriate FDA centers will review product information
submitted by firms in support of their certificate and any suspected
case of fraud will be referred to FDA's Office of Criminal
Investigations for follow up. Making or submitting to FDA false
statements on any documents may constitute violations of 18 U.S.C.
1001, with penalties including up to $250,000 in fines and up to 5
years imprisonment.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
