SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. This Action

    EPA is taking final action to approve SIP revisions submitted on
January 31, 2008, May 24, 2010, October 11, 2013, and February 11,
2014, related to changes to North Carolina's I/M regulations. On
November 20, 2014, EPA published a direct final rulemaking to approve
these changes into the SIP and published an accompanying proposed
approval to the direct final rule in the event that EPA received
adverse comment and withdrew the direct final rulemaking. See 79 FR
69051. In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments
were received by December 22, 2014, the rule would be withdrawn and not
take effect, the proposed rule would remain in effect, and an
additional public comment period would not be instituted.
    On December 17, 2014, and December 19, 2014, EPA received comments
identified with the docket number for the aforementioned rulemaking
actions. EPA withdrew the direct final rule on January 20, 2015 (80 FR
2612) and is now taking final action to approve the SIP revisions
identified above. EPA has reviewed the changes included in these
revisions and has determined that they are consistent with federal
regulations and the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

II. Background

    The North Carolina I/M program began in 1982 in Mecklenburg County
utilizing a ``tail-pipe'' emissions test. From 1986 through 1991 the
program expanded to include eight additional counties (Wake, Forsyth,
Guilford, Durham, Gaston, Cabarrus, Orange and Union County). In 1999,
the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation to expand the
coverage area for the I/M program in order to gain additional emission
reductions to achieve the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air
quality standards in the State. This legislation expanded the I/M
program from nine counties to 48 counties by adding several counties
approximately every six months from July 1, 2003, to July 1, 2006. The
I/M program in the expanded coverage area used on-board diagnostic
(OBD) rather than tail-pipe testing. On August 7, 2002, North Carolina
submitted a SIP revision to amend the I/M regulations included in the
SIP at that time to, among other things, expand the counties subject to
the I/M program as discussed above, require OBD in the subject counties
for all model year (MY) 1996 and newer light duty gasoline vehicles,
and terminate the tail-pipe testing program on January 1, 2006, for the
nine counties subject to continued tail-pipe testing of MY 1995 and
older vehicles.
    EPA approved these changes to North Carolina's I/M program into the
SIP on October 30, 2002. See 67 FR 66056. Since that time, North
Carolina has submitted additional changes to its program, which EPA is
now acting upon. Specifically, North Carolina submitted SIP revisions
related to the State's I/M program on January 31, 2008, May 24, 2010,
October 11, 2013, and February 11, 2014. EPA's response to comments
received on EPA's November 20, 2014, rulemaking is provided in Section
III of this rulemaking. EPA's detailed analysis of these SIP revisions
is provided in EPA's direct final rulemaking published on November 20,
2014, and incorporated herein by reference. See 79 FR 69051.

III. Response to Comments

    On December 19, 2014, EPA received comments on the proposed SIP
revisions from an anonymous commenter and withdrew the direct final
rule. EPA also received comments from the United States Department of
Defense (DOD) on December 17, 2014. These comments are addressed below.
    Comment: EPA received a comment from DOD expressing concern
regarding the language in 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC)
02D.1002(a)(3) applying the I/M program to federal facilities. DOD
believes that EPA should rescind its prior approval of section
.1002(a)(3) into the SIP, disapprove North Carolina's ``proposed
revisions thereto,'' and identify section .1002(a)(3) ``as no longer
approved as part of the SIP.''
    Response: These comments are not relevant to this rulemaking
because EPA approved 15A NCAC 02D.1002(a)(3) into the SIP in 1995 (60
FR 28720 (June 2, 1995)) and North Carolina did not propose any
substantive changes to section .1002(a)(3) as part of its January 31,
2008, May 24, 2010, October 11, 2013, and February 11, 2014 SIP
submissions. The changes to 15A NCAC 02D.1002(a)(3) are merely
typographical due to a reorganization of section .1002 and do not
impact its scope or effect any substantive change in the regulations.
    Comment: EPA received a comment from an anonymous commenter who
does not believe that EPA can approve the state implementation plan
(SIP) revisions because ``North Carolina used the wrong modeling
approach when determining whether the proposed revisions to the
inspection program negatively affect the attainment and maintenance of
the NAAQS.'' The Commenter contends that North Carolina used MOVES
modeling inputs that did not consider the removal of the State's
tailpipe emissions testing program and that the modeling approach is
therefore inconsistent with EPA's guidance on performance standard
modeling and the use of MOVES to model changes to states' I/M programs.
According to the Commenter, proper modeling would show that ``simply
expanding the required model years that are subject to inspection would
not have gained the necessary emission reductions required to offset
the loss of reductions from dropping tailpipe testing.'' The Commenter
also believes that ``expanding the [I/M] program to the rest of the
state cannot be included as a way to offset the reductions from the
tailpipe testing'' and that North Carolina ``must show that for each
nonattainment/maintenance area, (1) dropping the tailpipe test still
meets the applicable performance standard, and (2) the emission
reductions provided in the past by the tailpipe test are offset by some
other way since expanding the model years of new vehicles has typically
not provided the requisite emissions reductions as tailpipe testing for
older (more polluting) vehicles has done.''
    Response: EPA disagrees with the Commenter. North Carolina's
January 31, 2008 SIP submission asks EPA to remove the State's
regulation governing tailpipe testing, 15A NCAC 02D.1004, from the SIP.
As the State noted in its 2008 submission, 15A NCAC 02D.1004 is
obsolete because the tailpipe testing requirements of that rule expired
on January 1, 2006, pursuant to subsection .1004(e). EPA approved the
addition of 15A NCAC 02D.1004(e) into the SIP in 2002. See 67 FR 66056
(Oct. 30, 2002). Therefore, the SIP revision only eliminates
inoperative regulatory text and does not ``drop'' tailpipe testing. The
tailpipe testing requirement expired in 2006 pursuant to the terms of
the regulation which EPA approved in 2002. Therefore, this comment is
not relevant to the SIP revisions EPA is acting on today.
    The removal of 15A NCAC 02D.1004 from the SIP will not interfere
with any applicable requirement concerning attainment or any other
applicable requirement of the CAA because its removal has no impact on
emissions. Tailpipe testing ended in North Carolina on January 1, 2006,
and 15 NCAC 02D.1004(e) had already been approved into the SIP at the
time of the State's 2008 submission. Therefore, no modeling or other
technical analysis is required to satisfy CAA Section 110(l). Moreover,
the Commenter's claim that North Carolina used an inappropriate

application of MOVES to demonstrate that the revisions to the I/M
program will not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning
attainment is based solely on the fact that the modeling did not
consider removal of the tailpipe emissions testing provision. As
explained above, the tailpipe emissions testing program expired
pursuant to a previously-approved SIP revision, and therefore is not at
issue in today's action.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving North Carolina's January 31, 2008, May 24, 2010,
October 11, 2013, and February 11, 2014, SIP revisions pertaining to
state rule changes to the State's I/M program. EPA has determined that
these SIP revisions are approvable because they are consistent with
section 110 of the CAA.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by April 6, 2015. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59726; File No. SR-FINRA-2009-025]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Amend Incorporated NYSE Rules 2, 2A and 325 To
Conform to Amendments Made by NYSE

April 8, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on April 7, 2009, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has designated
the proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-controversial'' rule
change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under the Act,\3\ which
renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA is proposing to amend Incorporated NYSE Rules 2 (``Member,''
``Membership,'' ``Member Firm,'' etc.), 2A (Jurisdiction) and 325
(Capital Requirements Member Organizations) \4\ to conform to rule
changes by the New York Stock Exchange, LLC (``NYSE'') to its versions
of Rules 2, 2A and 325.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The current FINRA rulebook consists of (1) FINRA Rules; (2)
NASD Rules; and (3) rules incorporated from NYSE (``Incorporated
NYSE Rules'') (together, the NASD Rules and Incorporated NYSE Rules
are referred to as the ``Transitional Rulebook''). While the NASD
Rules generally apply to all FINRA members, the Incorporated NYSE
Rules apply only to those members of FINRA that are also members of
the NYSE (``Dual Members''). The FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA
members, unless such rules have a more limited application by their
terms. For more information about the rulebook consolidation
process, see FINRA Information Notice, March 12, 2008 (Rulebook
Consolidation Process).
    \5\ See File No. SR-NYSE-2008-46; File No. SR-NYSE-2008-127.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA 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, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
    FINRA is proposing changes to Incorporated NYSE Rules 2,\6\ 2A \7\
and 325 \8\ to conform these rules to amendments made by NYSE which
established a new market model (``New Model'').\9\ As described by the
NYSE in its filing,\10\ the New Model: (i) Provides market participants
with additional abilities to post hidden liquidity on Exchange systems;
(ii) creates a Designated Market Maker (``DMM''), and phases out the
NYSE specialist; and (iii) enhances the speed of execution through
technological enhancements and reduces message traffic between Exchange
systems and its DMMs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Incorporated NYSE Rule 2 defines terms including ``member,''
``member organization,'' and ``approved person.''
    \7\ Incorporated NYSE Rule 2A sets forth the jurisdiction of the
Exchange.
    \8\ Incorporated NYSE Rule 325 sets forth capital requirements
for member organizations.
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58845 (October 24,
2008), 73 FR 64379 (October 29, 2008) (Order Approving File No. SR-
NYSE-2008-46); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59077 (December
10, 2008), 73 FR 76691 (December 17, 2008) (Order Approving File No.
SR-NYSE-127). [sic]
    \10\ See File No. SR-NYSE-2008-46.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NYSE believes that its New Model requires a new type of market
maker \11\ with the ability to contribute liquidity in a security by
trading competitively for its dealer account. The NYSE proposed to
phase out the existing specialist system and to replace specialists
with Designated Market Makers who will be employees of Designated
MarketMaker Units (``DMM Units''). According to the NYSE, although the
specialist system has served a central role in equities trading at the
NYSE for well over a century, specialist trading is, by nature, well-
suited to manual trading, and less suitable for electronic trading. The
NYSE recognizes that the scheme of rules and obligations governing
specialists can unduly hamstring them in an electronic market and
prevent them from easily fulfilling their appointed role. To address
this new reality, DMM Units will be given tools and opportunities that
are not available to specialists, but that are more commensurate with
trading in electronic markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The term ``market maker'' shall have the same meaning as
that term in Section (3)(a)(38) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the NYSE filings, definitions of ``Designated Market Maker''
and ``DMM Unit'' were added to NYSE Rule 2 (``Member,'' ``Membership,''
``Member Firm,'' etc.) and a reference to specialist was changed to DMM
under NYSE Rule 325 (Capital Requirements Member Organizations) to
conform these rules to the operation of the New Model.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given these changes, FINRA is proposing to make conforming changes
to Incorporated NYSE Rules 2, 2A and 325 to ensure consistency with
NYSE's versions of Rules 2, 2A and 325.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the Exchange Act, NASD, NYSE,
and NYSE Regulation, Inc. entered into an agreement (``Agreement'')
to reduce regulatory duplication for firms that are Dual Members by
allocating certain regulatory responsibilities for selected NYSE
rules from NYSE Regulation to FINRA. The Agreement includes a list
of all those rules (``Common Rules'') for which FINRA has assumed
examination, enforcement and surveillance responsibilities under the
Agreement relating to compliance by Dual Members to the extent that
such responsibilities involve member firm regulation. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 56148 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42146 (August
1, 2007) (Notice of Filing and Order Approving and Declaring
Effective a Plan for the Allocation of Regulatory Responsibilities).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\14\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is
necessary and appropriate to conform these rules to the operation of
NYSE's New Model and to maintain consistency with the NYSE's amendments
to its Rules 2, 2A and 325.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any

burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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 \15\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \17\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\18\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. FINRA has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon filing. Such waiver would permit
FINRA to implement these changes without delay, thereby allowing
FINRA's Incorporated NYSE Rules to maintain their status as Common
Rules under the Agreement upon filing of the proposed rule change with
the Commission. The Commission believes it is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest to waive the 30-day
operative delay for this reason, and hereby grants such waiver.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \19\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule change's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate 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:

     Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2662-027]

FirstLight Hydro Generating Company: Notice of Application

    d. Applicant: FirstLight Hydro Generating Company (licensee).
    e. Name of Project: Scotland Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: Windham County, Connecticut.

or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    i. FERC Contact: Alicia Burtner,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and protests
is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice by the Commission.
    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See, 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file motions to
intervene, protests, comments, recommendations, preliminary terms and
conditions, and preliminary fishway prescriptions using the
Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000
characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at

assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-
8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper copy to:
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include
docket number P-2662-027.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a non-capacity

amendment of its November 21, 2013 license. The licensee states that,
due to economic shifts, it is no longer economically feasible to add a
1,026 kilowatt (kW) low flow turbine to the existing powerhouse, as
proposed during the relicensing process. The licensee instead proposes
to replace the existing fixed-blade turbine with a variable pitch
Kaplan turbine in order to achieve compliance with instantaneous run-
of-river operations and other license requirements. The licensee's
proposed amendment would reduce the authorized installed capacity from
3,026 kW to 2,000 kW. The licensee indicates that its proposed
amendment would allow for electricity generation over a broader range
of inflows, as low as 160 cubic feet per second, while enabling the
project to meet its run-of-river operational requirement for the
protection of aquatic resources downstream.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
DC 20426, or by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>. This filing may also be viewed

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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, for a pilot period
to end December 10, 2010, a proposed rule change submitted by the
Exchange, together with related rule changes of the BATS Exchange,
Inc., NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc., Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated, Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., EDGA Exchange, Inc., EDGX
Exchange, Inc., International Securities Exchange LLC, New York Stock
Exchange LLC, NYSE Amex LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., and National Stock
Exchange, Inc., to amend certain of their respective rules to set forth
clearer standards and curtail discretion with respect to breaking
erroneous trades.\4\ The changes were adopted to address concerns that
the lack of clear guidelines for dealing with clearly erroneous
transactions may have added to the confusion and uncertainty faced by
investors on May 6, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62886 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the pilot program has been successful in
providing greater transparency and certainty to the process of breaking
erroneous trades. The Exchange also believes that a four month
extension of the pilot is warranted so that it may continue to monitor
the effects of the pilot on the markets and investors, and consider
appropriate adjustments, as necessary.
2. Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\5\ which requires
the rules of an exchange to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, 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. The proposed rule change also is
designed to support the principles of Section 11A(a)(1) \6\ of the Act
in that it seeks to assure fair competition among brokers and dealers
and among exchange markets. The Exchange believes that the proposed
rule meets these requirements in that it promotes transparency and
uniformity across markets concerning decisions to break erroneous
trades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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 \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\8\ The
Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay
so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because such waiver will allow the pilot program to continue
uninterrupted and help ensure uniformity among the national securities
exchanges and FINRA with respect to the treatment of clearly erroneous
transactions.\9\ Accordingly, the Commission waives the 30-day
operative delay requirement and designates the proposed rule change as
operative upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
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 filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Commission notes that the Exchange has satisfied
this requirement.
    \9\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59855; File No. 4-581]

Roundtable on Short Selling Price Test Restrictions and Short
Sale Circuit Breakers

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Notice of roundtable discussion; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: In light of current instability in the financial markets and
the erosion of investor confidence, the Commission is evaluating the
issue of short sale price test restrictions and short sale circuit
breakers. On April 8, 2009, the Commission unanimously voted to propose
two new approaches to short selling regulation. The first approach
proposes two permanent market-wide short sale price test restrictions.
The second approach proposes three circuit breaker rules that, when
triggered by a significant intraday decline in a security's price,
would impose either a temporary halt on short selling of an individual
security, or a temporary price test restriction.
    The proposing release is available on the Commission's Internet Web
site at http://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/2009/34-59748.pdf. The
Commission will host a roundtable to discuss the effectiveness and
impact of short sale price test restrictions generally, as well as the
proposed regulatory alternatives. The roundtable discussion will be
held in the auditorium of the Securities and Exchange Commission
headquarters at 100 F Street, NE., in Washington, DC on May 5, 2009
from 10 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. The public is invited to
observe the roundtable discussion. Seating will be available on a
first-come, first-served basis. The roundtable discussion also will be
available via webcast on the Commission's Web site at http://
www.sec.gov.

DATES: The roundtable discussion will take place on May 5, 2009. The
Commission will accept comments regarding issues addressed in the
roundtable discussion and otherwise regarding the proposed rule
amendments until June 19, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Division of Trading and Markets,
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street,
NE., Washington DC 20549-7561.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 8, 2009, the Commission proposed
amendments to Rule 201 of Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. The proposed amendments would permanently place
restrictions on the prices at which NMS stocks may be sold short
(``short sale price tests'' or ``short sale price test restrictions'')
or would impose temporary limitations on short selling in a particular
NMS stock during a specified market decline in the price of that
security (``proposed circuit breaker rules''). In connection with the
proposed short sale price tests and the proposed circuit breaker rules,
the Commission also proposed to amend Regulation SHO to require that a
broker-dealer mark a sell order ``short exempt'' if the seller is
relying on an exception to a proposed short sale price test restriction
or a proposed circuit breaker rule.
    The proposed amendments would come almost two years after the
Commission eliminated all short sale price test restrictions in July
2007. Prior to removing short sale price test restrictions, the
Commission reviewed the issue extensively, sought public comment and
directed staff study and empirical analysis on the market impact of
short sale price test restrictions over a period of several years.
    As the current financial crisis has continued to erode investor
confidence, the Commission has received requests from many commenters
to consider imposing restrictions with regard to short selling, in
particular to reinstate some form of short sale price test
restrictions. Due to the extreme current market conditions, the
Commission believes it is appropriate at this time to examine and seek
comment on whether to impose a short sale price test or a short sale
circuit breaker rule. The May 5, 2009 roundtable will help ensure that
any policy decisions the Commission

makes based on these proposals is the product of a highly deliberate
evaluation process.

    Dated: May 1, 2009.

    By the Commission.

Secretary.

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28884; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-116-AD;
Amendment 39-15343; AD 2008-02-13]

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Boeing Model 727 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive external high
frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the crown skin for cracks
at certain stringer attachment holes, and repair if necessary. This AD
results from a report of cracks at multiple locations on certain areas
of the crown skin. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue
cracks of the crown skin, which could result in rapid decompression of
the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective February 28, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of February 28,
2008.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
Boeing Commercial Airplanes, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, Washington 98124-
2207.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
; or in person at the Docket Management Facility

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The address for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
all Boeing Model 727 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2007 (72 FR 44433). That NPRM proposed to require
repetitive external high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of
the crown skin for cracks at certain stringer attachment holes, and
repair if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received from the commenter.

Request to Delegate Approval of Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOC) for Repairs

    Boeing requests that paragraph (h) of the NPRM be revised to allow
AMOCs for any required repair to be approved by an Authorized
Representative for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Delegation Option
Authorization Organization who has been authorized by the Manager,
Seattle Aircraft Certification Office.
    We agree with Boeing's request and have revised paragraph (h) of
the AD accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the change described previously. We also determined that this
change will not increase the economic burden

on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 842 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This AD affects about 459 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The inspection takes about 110 work hours per airplane, at an average
labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated
cost of the AD for U.S. operators is $4,039,200, or $8,800 per
airplane, per inspection cycle.

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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD, if it is approved by an
Authorized Representative for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Delegation Option Authorization Organization who has been authorized
by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. For a repair
method to be approved, the repair must meet the certification basis
of the airplane, and the approval must specifically refer to this
AD.
