III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled. FIFRA further provides that,
before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of
any such request in the Federal Register. EPA will provide a 30-day
comment period on the proposed requests. Thereafter, the EPA
Administrator may approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. Because the Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon
cancellation of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA
anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks
of these products until January 15, 2019, or the date of that the
cancellation notice is published in the Federal Register, whichever is
later. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit II., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted,
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the
canceled products.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) provided by the aviation
authority of Germany to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI states the following:

    It is necessary to change the limits of the High Pressure (HP)
Turbine Stage 1 and Stage 2 Rotor Discs. The maximum approved life
of these discs is decreased for all flight missions.
    This Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) has been raised to
instruct mandatory decreased maximum approved lives in the BR715
Time Limits Manual (TLM) T-715-3BR for the HP Turbine Stage 1 Rotor
Disc for both Part No. BRH20130 and Part No. BRH20131 and of the
High Pressure (HP) Turbine Stage 2 Rotor Disc for both Part No.
BRH19423 and Part No. BRH19427 for all flight missions. The life
limits are decreased by the same proportion for all flight missions,
thus back to birth pro-rata calculations due to the life limit
changes are not necessary.

    We are proposing this AD to prevent rotating parts that may have
exceeded their low-cycle fatigue life limits from failing, which could
result in uncontained engine failure and subsequent damage to the
airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 5, 2008.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) 2007-0152-E, dated June 1,
2007, to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
EASA EAD states:

    It is necessary to change the limits of the High Pressure (HP)
Turbine Stage 1 and Stage 2 Rotor Discs. The maximum approved life
of these discs is decreased for all flight missions.
    This Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) has been raised to
instruct mandatory decreased maximum approved lives in the BR715
Time Limits Manual (TLM) T-715-3BR for the HP Turbine Stage 1 Rotor
Disc for both Part No. BRH20130 and Part No. BRH20131 and of the
High Pressure (HP) Turbine Stage 2 Rotor Disc for both Part No.
BRH19423 and Part No. BRH19427 for all flight missions. The life
limits are decreased by the same proportion for all flight missions,
thus back to birth pro-rata calculations due to the life limit
changes are not necessary.

You may obtain further information by examining the EASA EAD in the AD
docket.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, they have notified us of the
unsafe condition described in the EASA EAD and service information
referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design. This proposed AD would require reducing the published life
limits of HP Turbine Stage 1 Discs, P/Ns BRH20130 and BRH20131, and HP
Turbine Stage 2 Discs, P/Ns BRH19423 and BRH19427.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 260 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 1 work-hour per engine to perform the proposed actions and
that the average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based

on these figures, we estimate the total cost of the proposed AD to U.S.
operators to be $20,800. Our cost estimate is exclusive of possible
warranty coverage.

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

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG: Docket No. FAA-2008-0224;
Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-44-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by May 5, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD)
BR700-715A1-30, BR700-715B1-30, and BR700-715C1-30 turbofan engines.
These engines are installed on, but not limited to, McDonnell
Douglas Model 717-200 airplanes.

Reason

    (d) It is necessary to change the limits of the High Pressure
(HP) Turbine Stage 1 and Stage 2 Rotor Discs. The maximum approved
life of these discs is decreased for all flight missions.
    This Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) has been raised to
instruct mandatory decreased maximum approved lives in the BR715
Time Limits Manual (TLM) T-715-3BR for the HP Turbine Stage 1 Rotor
Disc for both Part No. BRH20130 and Part No. BRH20131 and of the
High Pressure (HP) Turbine Stage 2 Rotor Disc for both Part No.
BRH19423 and Part No. BRH19427 for all flight missions. The life
limits are decreased by the same proportion for all flight missions,
thus back to birth pro-rata calculations due to the life limit
changes are not necessary.
    We are issuing this AD to prevent rotating parts that may have
exceeded their low-cycle fatigue life limits from failing, which
could result in uncontained engine failure and subsequent damage to
the airplane.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60823; File No. SR-NYSEAmex-2009-59]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Amex LLC; Order Granting
Approval of Proposed Rule Change Amending NYSE Amex Options Rule 915

October 14, 2009.

    On August 19, 2009, NYSE Amex, Inc. (``NYSE Amex'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder to
amend the definition of Futures Reference Asset in Commentary .11(5) to
NYSE Amex Rule 915 to permit options on Futures-Linked Securities to be
based on products

linked to CBOE Volatility Index Futures (``VIX Futures''). The proposed
rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on
September 11, 2009 for a 21-day comment period.\3\ The Commission
received no comment letters regarding the proposal. This order approves
the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60622 (September 3,
2009), 74 FR 46826.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commentary .11 to NYSE Amex Rule 915 designates the listing and
trading of options on Equity Index-Linked Securities, Commodity-Linked
Securities, Currency-Linked Securities, Fixed Income Index-Linked
Securities, Futures-Linked Securities, and Multifactor Index-Linked
Securities, collectively known as Index-Linked Securities (as defined
in NYSE Amex Company Guide Section 107(H)) that are principally traded
on a national securities exchange and an ``NMS Stock'' (as defined in
Rule 600 of Regulation NMS under the Act). Futures-Linked Securities
pay at maturity an amount of cash based on the performance of a
``Futures Reference Asset,'' currently defined as an index of futures
on Treasury Securities, GSE Securities, supranational debt and debt of
a foreign country or a subdivision thereof, or interest rate futures,
or options or derivatives on any of the foregoing. The Exchange
proposes to include VIX Futures in this definition.
    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange \4\ and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6 of the
Act.\5\ Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be 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 facilitating
transactions in securities, and to remove impediments to 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\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

    Currently, the Exchange will consider listing and trading options
on Index-Linked Securities, including options on Futures-Linked
Securities, provided the Index-Linked Securities meet the criteria for
underlying securities set forth in Commentary .01 to NYSE Amex Rule
915. Underlying Index-Linked Securities must meet the criteria and
guidelines for underlying securities set forth in Commentary .01 to
NYSE Amex Rule 915; or the Index-Linked Securities must be redeemable
at the option of the holder at least on a weekly basis through the
issuer at a price related to the applicable underlying Reference
Asset.\7\ After the addition of VIX Futures to the definition of a
Futures Reference Asset in Commentary .11(5) to NYSE Amex Rule 915,
options on Index-Linked Securities, including options on Futures Linked
Securities, would continue to be subject to all Exchange rules
governing the trading of equity options \8\ and the current continuing
or maintenance listing standards applicable to the trading of options
on Index-Linked Securities on NYSE Amex. The Commission also notes that
it has previously approved an amendment to Section 107H of the Amex
Company Guide to add the VIX Futures to the definition of ``Futures
Reference Asset'' for the listing and trading of Futures-Linked
Securities.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ For purposes of Commentary .11 to NYSE Amex Rule 915,
Reference Assets collectively refers to Equity Reference Assets,
Commodity Reference Assets, Currency Reference Assets, Fixed Income
Reference Assets, Futures Reference Assets, and Multifactor
Reference Assets.
    \8\ Despite the fact that Index-Linked Securities are linked to
an underlying index, each trade as a single, exchange-listed
security. Accordingly, rules pertaining to the listing and trading
of standard equity options apply to options on Index-Linked
Securities.
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60535 (August 19,

Air Plan Approvals; KY; Prevention of Significant Deterioration
and Modeling Infrastructure Requirements for 2015 Ozone NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve portions of the Kentucky infrastructure State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission for the 2015 8-hour ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) submitted to EPA in a letter
dated January 11, 2019. Whenever EPA promulgates a new or revised
NAAQS, the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) requires that each state adopt
and submit a SIP submission to establish that the state's SIP meets
infrastructure requirements for the implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of each such NAAQS. Specifically, EPA is taking final
action to approve portions of the Kentucky infrastructure SIP
submission that address the prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD) and modeling requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

DATES: This rule is effective October 2, 2020.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2019-0217. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Overview

    On October 1, 2015, EPA promulgated revised primary and secondary
NAAQS for ozone, revising the 8-hour ozone standards from 0.075 parts
per million (ppm) to a new more protective level of 0.070 ppm. See 80
FR 65292 (October 26, 2015). Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA,
states are required to submit SIP revisions meeting the applicable
requirements of section 110(a)(2) within three years after promulgation
of a new or revised NAAQS or within such shorter period as EPA may
prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) requires states to address basic SIP
elements such as requirements for monitoring, basic program
requirements, and legal authority that are designed to assure
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. This particular type of SIP is
commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure SIP.'' States were required
to submit such SIP revisions for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS to EPA no
later than October 1, 2018.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In infrastructure SIP submissions, states generally certify
evidence of compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA
through a combination of state regulations and statutes, some of
which have been incorporated into the SIP. In addition, certain
federally-approved, non-SIP regulations may also be appropriate for
demonstrating compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As explained in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on
July 6, 2020 (85 FR 40165), Kentucky cites to several regulations \2\
to demonstrate that their respective SIPs meet the PSD-related
requirements of sections 110(a)(2)(C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (Prong
3),\3\ 110(a)(2)(J), and 110(a)(2)(K). In addition to the regulations
approved into the SIP, a state may also rely on EPA's January 17, 2017
(82 FR 5182), final rulemaking entitled, ``Revisions to the Guideline
on Air Quality Models: Enhancements to the AERMOD Dispersion Modeling
System and Incorporation of Approaches To Address Ozone and Fine
Particulate Matter'' (also referred to as the 2017 Guideline) \4\ to
satisfy the modeling requirements of Section 110(a)(2)(K). On February
4, 2020, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted a letter to EPA to
demonstrate that its existing SIP-approved regulations provide the
state with the authority to integrate and implement the requirements
and recommendations of the current version of EPA's 2017 Guideline. In
its February 4, 2020, letter, the Commonwealth clarified that, pursuant
to 401 KAR 50:040 and 401 KAR 51:017, the Commonwealth has the
authority to use

alternative modeling, and that modeling based on the Guideline, as
published on January 17, 2017, is the most appropriate.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Kentucky's January 11, 2019, infrastructure SIP submission
cites several SIP-approved regulations under Chapters 50 and 51,
including the following: 401 KAR 51:010,1 Attainment status
designations; 401 KAR 51:017, Prevention of significant
deterioration of air quality; and 401 KAR 50:040, Air quality
models, to meet the PSD program requirements of sections
110(a)(2)(C),110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (Prong 3), 110(a)(2)(J), and
110(a)(2)(K).
    \3\ Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) contains a provision that
prohibits emissions activity in one state from interfering with
measures required to prevent significant deterioration of air
quality in another state, which is commonly referred to as ``prong
3.''
    \4\ EPA's Guideline on Air Quality Models is codified at 40 CFR
part 51, Appendix W and is generically referred to as Guideline
herein.
    \5\ See February 4, 2020, letter ``RE: Clarification of the use
of Appendix W within Kentucky's 2015 8-hour Ozone Infrastructure SIP
submittal'' from Melissa Duff, Director of Division of Air Quality
for Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, Department of
Environmental Protection to Mary S. Walker, Regional Administrator
for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4. The February 4,
2020, letter is in the docket for this proposed rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA has evaluated Kentucky's January 11, 2019, submittal \6\ and
the February 4, 2020, letter and is making the determination that
Kentucky has demonstrated that it has the authority to use the 2017
Guideline, and notes that the February 4, 2020, letter includes KY
DAQ's determination that the 2017 Guideline is most appropriate for
use. Accordingly, EPA is taking final action to approve Kentucky's use
of the 2017 Guideline as outlined in KY DAQ's February 4, 2020, letter
and making a finding that Kentucky's infrastructure SIP submission
demonstrates that new major sources and major modifications in areas of
the Commonwealth designated attainment or unclassifiable for the
specified NAAQS are subject to a federally-approved PSD permitting
program meeting all the current structural requirements of part C of
title I of the CAA to satisfy the infrastructure SIP PSD elements. EPA
also concludes that Kentucky's infrastructure SIP submission,
supplemented with the February 4, 2020, letter, meets the requirements
of 110(a)(2)(C) for the infrastructure requirements for the 2015 8-hour
ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted its infrastructure
submission through the State Planning Electronic Collaboration
System on January 9, 2019; however, the cover letter of the
submittal is dated January 11, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the NPRM published on July 6, 2020, EPA proposed approval of
Kentucky's infrastructure submission provided on January 11, 2019, for
the applicable infrastructure SIP requirements of the 2015 8-hour ozone
NAAQS. The NPRM provides additional detail regarding the background and
rationale for EPA's action. Comments on the NPRM were due on or before
July 27, 2020. EPA did not receive any comments during the comment
period.

II. Final Action

    EPA is taking final action to approve the portions of Kentucky's
January 11, 2019, 2015 8-hour ozone infrastructure SIP submission that
address the PSD-related requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(2)(C),
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (prong 3), and 110(a)(2)(J), and modeling
requirements related to CAA section 110(a)(2)(K). All other outstanding
applicable infrastructure requirements for this SIP submission have
been or will be addressed in separate rulemakings.

III. 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. See 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. These actions merely
approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and do not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, these actions:
     Are not significant regulatory actions 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);
     Are not Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory actions because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Are 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.);
     Do 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);
     Do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Are not an economically significant regulatory actions
based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Are not significant regulatory actions subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Are 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
     Do 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).
    The SIPs subject to these actions are 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 as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
    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 November 2, 2020. 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).

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change Related to Short Sell Order Handling

January 25, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on January 14, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II below, which Items have been substantially
prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange has designated the proposal as a
``non-controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ 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 Exchange is proposing to amend CBOE Stock Exchange, LLC's
(``CBSX,'' the CBOE's stock trading facility) rules to describe the
manner in which the CBSX System \5\ will handle short sell orders for
openings and reopenings in relation to Rule 201 of Regulation SHO.\6\
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site (http://www.cboe.org/Legal), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary and at the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The ``CBSX System'' means the electronic system which
performs the functions set out in the CBSX rules including
controlling, monitoring, and recording trading by CBSX Traders
through CBSX Workstations and trading between CBSX Traders. See Rule
50.1(a). A ``CBSX Trader'' means an individual who or organization
which has the right to trade on CBSX. See Rules 50.1(f) and 50.3. A
``CBSX Workstation'' means a computer connected to CBSX for the
purposes of trading pursuant to the CBSX rules. See Rule 50.1(d).
    \6\ 17 CFR 242.201. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos.
61595 (February 26, 2010), 75 FR 11232 (March 10, 2010) and 63247
(November 4, 2010), 75 FR 68702 (November 9, 2010). In connection
with the adoption of Rule 201, Rule 200(g) of Regulation SHO, 17 CFR
242.200(g), was amended to include a ``short exempt'' marking
requirement. The amendments to Rule 201 and Rule 200(g) have a
compliance date of February 28, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 those statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Rule 201 of Regulation SHO under the Act \7\ sets forth a short
sale-related circuit breaker that, if triggered, will impose a
restriction on the prices at which NMS stocks \8\ may be sold short. In
anticipation of the upcoming February 28, 2011 compliance date for Rule
201,\9\ the Exchange is proposing to amend CBSX's rules to describe the
manner in which the CBSX System will handle short sell orders during
opening rotations when a circuit breaker is triggered under Rule 201 of
Regulation SHO.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id.
    \8\ 17 CFR 242.201(a)(1).
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63247, note 6,
supra, which extended the compliance date for Rule 201, 17 CFR
242.201 and Rule 200(g), 17 CFR 242.200(g), from November 10, 2010
to February 28, 2011.
    \10\ Opening and reopening rotations are conducted pursuant to
Rule 52.2, Opening Procedures. Rule 52.2 provides that the CBSX
System shall automatically open each security at the price that
provides the highest matched quantity of order volume. Subsequent to
any such opening prints, or immediately if there are no pre-opening
orders in a security, the CBSX System shall disseminate regular
quotations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange is proposing to amend Interpretation
and Policy .02 to its Rule 51.8, Types of Orders Handled, to provide
that, if a short sale-related circuit breaker is triggered under
Regulation SHO, orders marked ``short'' that are received by the CBSX
System after the time a circuit breaker is triggered but prior to the
opening of trading or reopening of trading following a halt, suspension
or pause in the NMS stock will be cancelled/rejected.\11\ Consistent
with the existing text of the rule and a proposed clarifying amendment
to that text, (1) short sell orders that are resting in the CBSX Book
\12\ at the time a circuit breaker is triggered will be permitted to
continue resting and/or execute,\13\ and (2) short sell orders that are
received by the CBSX System after the time a circuit breaker is
triggered and while the NMS stock is open for trading on CBSX that are
(A) priced above the National Best Bid will be permitted to rest and/or
execute or (B) priced at or below the National Best Bid will be
rejected/cancelled.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See proposed paragraph (a)(3) of Rule 51.8.02.
    \12\ The ``CBSX Book'' means all unexecuted orders currently
held by the CBSX System. See Rule 50.1(c).
    \13\ Short sell orders that are resting in the CBSX Book at the
time a circuit breaker is triggered by definition are priced above
the National Best Bid at the time of initial display and therefore
will be permitted to continue resting and/or execute intra-day and
during any opening/reopening rotations that occur while a circuit
breaker is in effect. 17 CFR 242.201(b)(1).
    \14\ See existing paragraphs (a)(1) through (2) of Rule 51.8.02
and proposed changes to clarify that subparagraph (2) (which is also
numbered as item (2) in the description above) applies to short sale
orders received while the NMS stock is open for trading on CBSX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act,\15\ in general, and, in particular, furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\16\ which requires that
an exchange have rules that are designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed
change will provide clarity on the short sell order handling procedures
that the CBSX System will apply for openings and reopenings when a
short sale-related circuit breaker is triggered under Rule 201 of
Regulation SHO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CBOE 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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

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

    Because the foregoing rule 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 if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, provided that the self-regulatory organization
has given the Commission written notice of its intent to file 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 proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \17\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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
