Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
Inc.; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule 700 With
Respect to the Hours of Trading in Equity Options and Narrow-Based
Index Options

January 5, 2006
    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 December 27, 2005, the International Securities Exchange, Inc.
(``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the ISE.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    The ISE proposes to amend its rules governing the hours of trading
in equity options and narrow-based index

options. The Exchange proposes that these changes be implemented on
February 1, 2006. The text of the proposed rule change is available on
the ISE's Web site (http://www.iseoptions.com), at the ISE's Office of

the Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant 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 rule change is to amend ISE Rule 700 governing
the hours of trading in equity options and narrow-based index options.
Specifically, the ISE proposes to amend its rule to change the close of
the normal trading hours in options on individual stocks and narrow-
based indexes from 4:02 p.m. to 4 p.m. (New York time). After the
change, the time of the close of trading in these ISE options will
correspond to the normal time set for the close of trading on the
primary exchanges listing the stocks underlying the ISE options. The
primary exchanges generally close at 4 p.m. (New York time).
    The Exchange notes that in 1997 the closing time for options on
individual stocks and narrow-based index was changed from 4:10 p.m. to
4:02 p.m. (New York time). The rationale to continue trading options
for some limited period of time after the close of trading on the
primary markets for the underlying securities was that the extended
period allowed options traders to respond to late reports of closing
prices over the consolidated tape. If the price of a late reported
trade on an underlying security was substantially different from the
previous reported price, the extended trading session would give
options traders the opportunity to bring options quotes in line with
the closing price of the underlying security.
    However, because of improvements in the processing and reporting of
transactions, the ISE believes that there often are no longer
significant delays in the reporting of closing prices, and, therefore,
a two minute session is no longer needed to trade options after the
underlying securities close trading. Additionally, the Exchange
believes that pricing aberrations can occur if an option is traded when
the underlying stock is no longer trading, since there is a close
relationship in the price of the underlying stock and the overlying
option. As a result, the ISE believes that it is difficult for the
market to price options accurately when the underlying security is not
trading.
    As noted above, the Exchange also proposes to change the closing
time for options on narrow-based indexes, as defined in ISE Rule 2001,
because these indexes are subject to the same pricing problems as
options on individual stocks. According to the ISE, a significant news
announcement on one component of a narrow-based index could have a
significant effect on that index. However, the Exchange is not at this
time proposing to change the closing time of 4:15 p.m. for options on a
broad-based index, as defined in ISE Rule 2001, because the ISE
believes that it is unlikely that a significant news announcement by
the issuer on one component stock of a broad-based index is likely to
have a significant effect on the price of that broad-based index.
Accordingly, the Exchange is also proposing to codify a 4:15 p.m.
closing time for options on a broad-based index.
    The Exchange notes that if it were to unilaterally modify its
closing time, the existence of dissimilar closing times applicable to
the different options exchanges would likely lead to confusion for
options investors and broker-dealers. It is the ISE's understanding
that all of the options exchanges have determined to change their
respective rules to adjust the closing time in options on individual
stocks and narrow-based indexes from 4:02 p.m. to 4 p.m. (New York
time). The ISE further understands that the options exchanges
collectively have determined that they would implement this new closing
time on February 1, 2006.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act \3\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \4\ in particular, because it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove and
perfect the mechanisms 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(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The ISE 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.

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

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

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

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

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. 29334; Amendment No. 71-40]

Airspace Designations; Incorporation by Reference

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 relating to airspace designations to reflect the approval
by the Director of the Federal Register of the incorporation by
reference of FAA Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points. This action also explains the procedures the FAA will use to
amend the listings of Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas; air
traffic service routes; and reporting points incorporated by reference.

DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective October 31,
2008. The incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9S is approved
by the Director of the Federal Register as of October 31, 2008, through
September 15, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
effective September 15, 2007, listed Class A, B, C, D and E airspace
areas; air traffic service routes; and reporting points. Due to the
length of these descriptions, the FAA requested approval from the
Office of the Federal Register to incorporate the material by reference
in the Federal Aviation Regulations section 71.1, effective September
15, 2007, through September 15, 2008. During the incorporation by
reference period, the FAA processed all proposed changes of the
airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9R in full text as proposed rule
documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all amendments of these
listings were published in full text as final rules in the Federal
Register. On September 22, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal
Register a final rule extending the IBR approval of FAA Order 7400.9R
in section 71.1, as of September 16, 2008 until October 31, 2008 (73 FR
54494). This rule reflects the periodic integration of these final rule
amendments into a revised edition of Order 7400.9S, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to reflect the approval by the Director of the Federal Register
of the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9S, effective
October 31, 2008, through September 15, 2009. During the incorporation
by reference period, the FAA will continue to process all proposed
changes of the airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9S in full text as
proposed rule documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all
amendments of these listings will be published in full text as final
rules in the Federal Register. The FAA will periodically integrate all
final rule amendments into a revised edition of the Order, and submit
the revised edition to the Director of the Federal Register for
approval for incorporation by reference in section 71.1. The Director
of the Federal Register has approved the incorporation by reference of
FAA Order 7400.9S in section 71.1, as of October 31, 2008, through
September 15, 2009. This rule also explains the procedures the FAA will
use to amend the airspace designations incorporated by reference in
part 71. Sections 71.5, 71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61,
71.71, and 71.901 are also updated to reflect the incorporation by
reference of FAA Order 7400.9S.
    The FAA has determined that this action: (1) Is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. This
action neither places any new restrictions or requirements on the
public, nor changes the dimensions or operation requirements of the
airspace listings incorporated by reference in part 71. Consequently,
notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
Because this action will continue to update the changes to the airspace
designations, which are depicted on aeronautical charts, and to avoid
any unnecessary pilot confusion, I find that good cause exists, under 5
U.S.C. 553(d), for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this interim 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. It is impractical to issue a NPRM and take
public comment before June 25, 2010 when the first marine event
necessitating a safety zone is scheduled to occur. Further, it is
contrary to public interest to delay the effective date of this rule or
to delay or cancel the scheduled events. Delaying the effective date by
first publishing a NPRM would be contrary to the rule's objectives of
ensuring safety of life on the navigable waters during these scheduled
events as immediate action is needed to protect persons and vessels
from the hazards associated with vessels participating in regattas,
powerboat races, as well as the hazardous nature of fireworks including
unexpected detonation and burning debris. We are requesting public

comment on the safety zones, and if we receive public input that
indicates a need to revise the safety zone regulations or the
conditions they impose, or raises any other significant public
concerns, we will address those concerns prior to issuing any final
rule. For the same reasons, 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.

Basis and Purpose

    Marine events are frequently held on the navigable waters within
the area of responsibility for COTP Long Island Sound. These events
include sailing regattas, swim events, power boat races, row and paddle
boat races, parades, and firework displays. Based on the nature of the
events, large number of participants and spectators, and the event
locations, the Coast Guard has determined that the events listed in
this rule could pose a risk to participants or waterway users if normal
vessel traffic were to interfere with the event. Possible hazards
include risks of participant injury or death resulting from near or
actual contact with non-participant vessels traversing through the
regulated areas. In order to protect the safety of all waterway users
including event participants and spectators, this temporary rule
establishes safety zones for the time and location of each event.
    This rule prevents vessels from entering, transiting, mooring or
anchoring within areas specifically designated as regulated areas
during the periods of enforcement unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port, or designated on-scene patrol personnel. ``Designated on-
scene patrol personnel'' are any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or
petty officer who has been designated by the Captain of the Port to act
on his behalf. On-scene patrol personnel may be comprised of local,
State or Federal officials authorized to act in support of the Coast
Guard.
    The Coast Guard has ordered safety zones or special local
regulations for all of these 25 areas for past events and has not
received public comments or concerns regarding the impact to waterway
traffic from these annual events.

Discussion of Rule

    This temporary rule creates safety zones for all navigable waters
within the described area of each event as follows: A 1000 foot zone
around all firework displays, a 200 foot zone around all regattas, and
a 600 foot zone around all power boat races.
    The tables below summarize the regulated area size that applies to
each event along with the event name, date, time, and location:

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

    As large numbers of spectator vessels are expected to congregate
around the location of these events, the regulated areas are needed to
protect both spectators and participants from the safety hazards
created by the event. During the enforcement period of the regulated
areas, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting
through, remaining, anchoring or mooring within the zone unless
specifically authorized by the COTP or his designated representatives.
The Coast Guard may be assisted by other federal, state and local
agencies in the enforcement of these regulated areas.
    The Coast Guard determined that these regulated areas will not have
a significant impact on vessel traffic due to their temporary nature
and limited size and the fact that vessels are allowed to transit the
navigable waters outside of the regulated areas.
    Advanced public notifications will also be made to the local
maritime community by the Local Notice to Mariners as well as Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this interim rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the following reasons: The regulated areas will
be of limited duration, they cover only a small portion of the
navigable waterways, and the events are designed to avoid, to the
extent possible, deep draft, fishing, and recreational boating traffic
routes. In addition, vessels requiring entry into the area of the
regulated areas may be authorized to do so by the Captain of the Port.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
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 will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in the designated regulated area during the
enforcement periods stated for each event in the List of Subjects.
    The safety zones will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: The
regulated areas will be of limited size and of short duration, and
vessels that can safely do so may navigate in all other portions of the
waterways except for the areas designated as regulated areas.
Additionally, before the effective period, the Coast Guard will issue
notice of the time and location of each regulated area through a Local
Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

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.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g) and
(h), of the Instruction. This rule involves establishing safety zones.
An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the

docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

     (b) Notification. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound will cause
notice of the enforcement of these temporary safety zones to be made by
all appropriate means to affect the widest publicity among the effected
segments of the public, including publication in the Local Notice to
Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.
    (c) Enforcement Period. This section will be enforced for the
duration of each event indicated in the table above. If the event is
cancelled due to inclement weather, this section is in effect during
the rain date indicated in the table above or as indicated in the Local
Notice to Mariners. Notification of events held on a rain date will be

    (d) Regulations. (1) The general regulations contained in 33 CFR
165.23 apply. During the enforcement period, entry into, transiting
through, remaining, mooring or anchoring within these safety zones is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
designated representatives.
    (2) These temporary safety zones are closed to all vessel traffic,
except as may be permitted by the Captain of the Port or his designated
representatives. Vessel operators given permission to enter or operate
in the safety zones must comply with all directions given to them by
the Captain of the Port or his designated representatives. Vessels that
are granted permission to enter or remain within a safety zone may be
required to be at anchor or moored to a waterfront facility such that
the vessel's location will not interfere with the progress of the
event. At all times when a vessel has been granted permission to enter
within a safety zone, it shall endeavor to maintain at least 50 yards
distance from any event participant unless otherwise directed.
    (3) The ``designated representative'' is any Coast Guard
commissioned, warrant or petty officer who has been designated by the
Captain of the Port to act on his behalf. The on-scene representative
may be on a Coast Guard vessel, a state or local law enforcement
vessel, or other designated craft, or may be on shore and will
communicate with vessels via VHF-FM radio or loudhailer. In addition,
members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary may be present to inform vessel
operators of this regulation.
    (4) Vessel operators desiring to enter or operate within the safety
zones shall request permission to do so by contacting the Captain of
the Port Sector Long Island Sound at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or via VHF Channel

    (5) The Captain of the Port or his designated representative may
direct the delay, cancellation, or relocation of the specific area to
be regulated within the generally described locations listed in the
EVENTS TABLE above to ensure safety and compliance with environmental
laws. Such changes in implementation of the safety zones may be
required as a result of factors that could affect their associated
marine events such as weather, vessel traffic density, spectator
activities, participant behavior or potential environmental impacts.
