SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension: Rule 15c3-4; SEC File No. 270-441, OMB Control No. 3235-
0497.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information provided for in Rule 15c3-4 (17 CFR 240.15c3-4) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office
of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 15c3-4 requires certain broker-dealers that are registered
with the Commission as OTC derivatives dealers, or who compute their
net capital charges under Appendix E to Rule 15c3-1 (17 CFR 240.15c3-1)
(``ANC firms''), to establish, document, and maintain a system of
internal risk management controls. The Rule sets forth the basic
elements for an OTC derivatives dealer or an ANC firm to consider and
include when establishing, documenting, and reviewing its internal risk
management control system, which are designed to, among other things,
ensure the integrity of an OTC derivatives dealer's or an ANC firm's
risk measurement, monitoring, and management process, to clarify
accountability at the appropriate organizational level, and to define
the permitted scope of the dealer's activities and level of risk. The
Rule also requires that management of an OTC derivatives dealer or an
ANC firm must periodically review, in accordance with written
procedures, the firm's business activities for consistency with its
risk management guidelines.
    The staff estimates that the average amount of time a new OTC
derivatives dealer will spend establishing and documenting its risk
management control system is 2,000 hours and that, on average, a
registered OTC derivatives dealer will spend approximately 200 hours
each year to maintain (e.g., reviewing and updating) its risk
management control system.\1\ Currently,

four firms are registered with the Commission as OTC derivatives
dealers. The staff estimates that approximately two additional OTC
derivatives dealers may become registered within the next three years.
Thus, the estimated annualized burden would be 800 hours for the four
OTC derivatives dealers currently registered with the Commission to
maintain their risk management control systems,\2\ 1,334 hours for the
two new OTC derivatives dealers to establish and document their risk
management control systems,\3\ and 400 hours for the two new OTC
derivatives dealers to maintain their risk management control
systems.\4\ Accordingly, the staff estimates the total annualized
burden associated with Rule 15c3-4 for the six OTC derivatives dealers
will be approximately 2,534 hours annually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This notice does not cover the hour burden associated with
ANC firms, because the hour burden for ANC firms is included in the
Paperwork Reduction Act collection for Rule 15c3-1, which requires
ANC firms to comply with specific provisions of Rule 15c3-4 in
Appendix E to Rule 15c3-1. See 17 CFR 240.15c3-1(a)(7)(iii), 17 CFR
240.15c3-1e(a)(1)(ii), and 17 CFR 240.15c3-1e(a)(1)(viii)(C).
    \2\ (200 hours x 4 firms) = 800.
    \3\ ((2,000 hours/3 years) x 2 firms) = 1,334.
    \4\ (200 hours x 2 firms) = 400.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The staff believes that the internal cost of complying with Rule
15c3-4 will be approximately $283 per hour.\5\ This per hour cost is
based upon an annual average hourly salary for a compliance manager who
would be responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of
Rule 15c3-4. Accordingly, the total annualized internal cost of
compliance for all affected OTC derivatives dealers is estimated to be
$717,122.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The $283 per hour salary figure for a compliance manager is
from SIFMA's Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities
Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-
hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm
size, employee benefits and overhead.
    \6\ 2,534 hours x $283 per hour = $717,122.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: Pamela Dyson, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0228]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, Burlington, NJ
and Bristol, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation; cancellation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is canceling the temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the SR 413/Burlington-Bristol bridge,
which carries SR 413 across the Delaware River, mile 117.8, between
Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA. The cancellation of the deviation is
necessary to remove operational restrictions placed on the bridge not
utilized to facilitate bridge maintenance.

DATES: The temporary deviation published on April 26, 2018, 83 FR 18226
is cancelled as of August 9, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0228 is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Michael Thorogood, Bridge
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, telephone 757-398-
6557, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2018, we published a temporary
deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River,
Burlington, NJ and Bristol, PA'' in the Federal Register (83 FR 18226).
This temporary deviation was to facilitate bridge maintenance and
painting of the vertical lift span of the drawbridge from May 1, 2018,
through September 30, 2018. During the planned maintenance period, a
work platform would have reduced one half of the bridge span vertical
clearance to approximately 58 feet above mean high water in the closed
position and approximately 132 feet above mean high water in the open
position.
    The temporary deviation is being cancelled due to delays in
performing bridge maintenance outside the navigation span, thereby
eliminating the need for a temporary deviation to facilitate bridge
maintenance in the navigation span. Due to the cancellation of the
work, this platform will not be installed and the bridge will operate
under its regular operating schedule in 33 CFR 117.716. In accordance
with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the end of the cancellation date of
the deviation.

    Dated: August 2, 2018.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF11-7-000]

Alliance Pipeline L.P.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Planned Tioga Lateral Project, Request
for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping
Meeting

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Tioga Lateral Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by Alliance Pipeline
L.P. (Alliance) in Williams, Mountrail, Burke, Ward, and Renville
Counties, North Dakota. This EA will be used by the Commission in its
decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the
public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on September 26, 2011.
    Comments may be submitted in written form or verbally. Further
details on how to submit written comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice. In lieu of or in addition to
sending written comments, the Commission invites you to attend the
public scoping meeting scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping
Meeting, Tioga Lateral Project, September 14, 2011-6:30 p.m., Memorial
Hall, 53rd Street NE., Kenmare, North Dakota 58746.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities.
The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement.
However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval
conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Summary of the Planned Project

    Alliance plans to construct and operate a natural gas pipeline to
connect new natural gas production in the Williston Basin with the
existing Alliance mainline, which currently delivers high-energy
natural gas from production areas in northwestern Canada to the Chicago
market area. The project would also involve construction of a new
compressor station and other appurtenant facilities. The Tioga Lateral
Project would create approximately 120 million cubic feet per day of
new transportation capacity.
    The Tioga Lateral Project would consist of the following
facilities:
     Approximately 77.1 miles of 12-inch-diameter natural gas
pipeline crossing portions of Williams, Mountrail, Burke, Ward, and
Renville Counties, North Dakota;
     A 4,500 horsepower compressor station containing two
natural gas-driven engines/compressors in Williams County;
     One meter station within the proposed compressor station
site in Williams County;
     One pressure regulating station adjacent to the existing
Alliance mainline in Renville County;
     One pig \1\ launcher at the proposed compressor station
site and one pig receiver at the pressure regulating station site; and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that is inserted into and moves through
the pipeline, and is used for cleaning the pipeline, internal
inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Three mainline block valves.
    The planned pipeline route begins at an existing gas processing
facility near Tioga, North Dakota, and terminates at a tie-in along the
existing Alliance mainline near Sherwood, North Dakota. The proposed
pipeline would cross approximately 1.7 miles of public land, including
approximately 0.8 mile of the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge and 0.9
mile of state land. The proposed pipeline would also cross
approximately 16.0 miles of private lands that are subject to
conservation easements held by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS). Alliance is evaluating potential route refinements to reduce the
crossing of FWS conservation easements.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to
all those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
http://www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Based on preliminary information, construction of the planned
facilities would disturb about 730.6 acres of land. Following
construction, about 477.5 acres would be maintained for permanent
operation of the project's facilities; the remaining acreage would be
restored and allowed to revert to former uses. Due to a lack of
existing utility infrastructure between Tioga and Sherwood, the
proposed route does not

typically parallel existing linear corridor facilities; approximately
1.7 miles of the route parallels existing roads.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\3\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     endangered and threatened species;
     cultural resources;
     land use;
     air quality and noise; and
     public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process. A
flow chart illustrating the pre-filing process is included with this
notice (Appendix 2). The purpose of the pre-filing process is to
encourage early involvement of interested stakeholders and to identify
and resolve issues before an application is filed with the FERC. As
part of our pre-filing review, we have begun to contact some Federal
and State agencies to discuss their involvement in the scoping process
and the preparation of the EA.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA.
The EA will be placed in the public record and, depending on the
comments received during the scoping process, may be published and
distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA
is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before
we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments
are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section beginning on page 5.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally
cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may
choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to
their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating
agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments
provided under the Public Participation section of this notice.

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to
solicit the views of other government agencies, interested Indian
tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on historic
properties.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of Potential
Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project is further
developed. On natural gas projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses
all areas subject to ground disturbance (including the construction
right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor stations, and
access roads). Our EA for this project will document our findings on
the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of
consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Historic
properties are defined in those regulations as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register for Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on
the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and
measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific
your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so
that they will be received in Washington, DC on or before September 26,
2011.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
project docket number (PF11-7-000) with your submission. The Commission
encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert eFiling staff

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes Federal, State, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Indian tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
planned project.

    If the EA is published for distribution, copies will be sent to the
environmental mailing list for public review and comment. If you would
prefer to receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD
version or would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please
return the attached Information Request (Appendix 3).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once Alliance files its application with the Commission, you may
want to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the
Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are
included in the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the
Commission's Web site. Please note that the Commission will not accept
requests for intervenor status at this time. You must wait until a
formal application for the project is filed with the Commission.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on
the eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket
number, excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field
(i.e., PF11-7). Be sure you have selected an appropriate date range.

texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    FERC's public meetings or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at http://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.
    Finally, Alliance has established an Internet Web site on its
homepage, http://www.alliance-pipeline.com/, to provide the public with
information about the planned Tioga Lateral Pipeline. Alliance's Web
site will be updated as the project review progresses.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59364; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2009-03]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule
Change by NYSE Arca, Inc. To Establish a Technical Original Listing Fee
Specific to Derivative Securities Products and Structured Products

 February 5, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Exchange Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is
hereby given that, on January 23, 2009, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca''
or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. 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 proposes to amend its rules governing NYSE Arca, LLC
(also referred to as the ``NYSE Arca Marketplace''), which is the
equities trading facility of NYSE Arca Equities. The Exchange proposes
to adopt a technical original listing fee applicable specifically to
Derivative Securities Products (as defined below) and Structured
Products (as defined below). The filing also removes from the NYSE Arca
Schedule of Fees and Charges a reference to a fee waiver that was
applicable only in 2007 and is therefore no longer relevant. The text
of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site
(http://www.nyse.com), at the Exchange'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 self-regulatory organization
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
    The Exchange proposes to adopt a technical original listing fee
applicable specifically to Derivative Securities Products and
Structured Products.
    For the purposes of this proposed fee, the term ``Derivative
Securities Products'' shall include securities described in NYSE Arca
Equities Rules 5.2(j)(3) (Investment Company Units); 8.100 (Portfolio
Depositary Receipts); 8.200 (Trust Issued Receipts); 8.201 (Commodity-
Based Trust Shares); 8.202 (Currency Trust Shares); 8.203 (Commodity
Index Trust Shares); 8.204 (Commodity Futures Trust Shares); 8.300
(Partnership Units); 8.500 (Trust Units); and 8.600 (Managed Fund
Shares). The term ``Structured Products'' shall include securities
listed under Rule 5.2(j)(1) (Other Securities); 5.2(j)(2) (Equity
Linked Notes), Rule 5.2(j)(4) (Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes); Rule
5.2(j)(6) (Equity Index-Linked Securities, Commodity-Linked Securities,
Currency-Linked Securities, Fixed Income Index-Linked Securities,
Futures-Linked Securities and Multifactor Index-Linked Securities);
Rule 5.2(j)(7) (Trust Certificates); Rule 8.3 (Currency and Index
Warrants); and Rule 8.400 (Paired Trust Shares).
    Derivative Securities Products and Structured Products are
currently subject to the Exchange's existing technical original listing
fee of $5,000, which is applicable to all listed securities (other than
closed-end funds, for which the Exchange previously adopted a separate
technical original listing fee of $15,000).\4\ For purposes of the
existing technical original listing fee and the proposed separate
technical original listing fee for Derivative Securities Products and
Structured Products, a technical original listing would occur as a
result of a change in state of incorporation, reincorporation under the
laws of same state, reverse stock split, recapitalization, creation of
a holding company or new company by operation of law or through an
exchange offer, or similar events affecting the nature of a listed
security. The fee applies if the change in the company's status is
technical in nature and the shareholders of the original company
receive or retain a share-for-share interest in the new company without
any change in their position in the issuer's capital structure or
rights.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Exchange Act Release No. 55917 (June 15, 2007), 72 FR
34325 (June 21, 2007) (SR-NYSEArca-2007-22).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the existing $5,000 fee is not suitable
for Derivative Securities Products and Structured Products, as it is
very high in comparison to the initial and continued listing fees for
those securities. Issuers of Derivative Securities Products pay a flat
initial listing fee of $5,000 and issuers of Structured Products pay a
minimum of $5,000 in initial listing fees and a maximum of $45,000,
depending on how many securities are issued. In comparison, the minimum
initial listing fee for operating company common stock is $100,000 and
the maximum is $150,000. The annual fee for Derivative Securities
Products ranges from $2,000 to $25,000 and for Structured Products from
$10,000 to $55,000. Generally, in comparison, annual fees for common
stock of operating companies range from $30,000 to $85,000. Generally,
for any given number of securities issued and outstanding, the initial
and annual fees payable for a listed common stock far exceed the amount
payable for a comparable number of securities of a Derivative
Securities Product or Structured Product. The Exchange believes that
the existing technical original listing fee is disproportionate in
relation to the other costs of listing Derivative Securities Products
and Structured Products on the Exchange and that a $2,500 fee is more
consistent with the pricing expectations of issuers of these categories
of securities. The $2,500 fee may include multiple issues of securities
from the same issuer. The Exchange believes that charging a single
application fee for multiple securities covered on a single application
is appropriate, as there is very little additional work required by
Exchange staff to process multiple technical original listings of the
same issuer in comparison to the work required in connection with the
processing of an application for a single security. The Exchange
recognizes that it does not take this approach to multiple classes of
equity securities of an operating company, but believes that the
distinction is appropriate for two reasons: (i) Given the much lower
listing fees associated with the listing of Derivative Securities
Products and Structured Products than with operating company equity
listings, even the $2,500 technical original listing fee would be
proportionately much greater in comparison to the initial and annual
fees paid by issuers of Derivative

Securities Products and Structured Products than would be the case for
issuers of operating company equity securities, and (ii) issuers of
Derivative Securities Products and Structured Products are much more
likely than issuers of operating company securities to effectuate
reverse stock splits (one of the most common events giving rise to a
technical original listing) in multiple classes of securities at the
same time.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange notes that it has listed a significant number
of Derivative Securities Products and Structured Products that are
leveraged, i.e., whose value changes based on a positive or negative
multiple of the performance of an index. The leveraged nature of
these products makes it much more likely that they will have an
unusually low trading price, which frequently leads an issuer to
effectuate a reverse stock split to reprice the security at a more
typical trading price. The Exchange has not had this experience yet
with leveraged products, but notes that leveraged products have been
listed for the first time over the last two years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The filing also removes from the NYSE Arca Schedule of Fees and
Charges a reference to a fee waiver that was applicable only in 2007
and is therefore no longer relevant. Issuers are subject to Annual Fees
in the year of listing, pro-rated based on days listed that calendar
year. However, for those issuers dually listed on the Exchange and
another securities exchange on January 1, 2007 who gave notice by June
30, 2007 to the Exchange of their intention to voluntarily withdraw
from listing on the Exchange (and in fact withdraw during 2007), the
2007 annual listing fees were waived (and not subject to prorating).
This filing removes text from Footnote 8 to the NYSE Arca Schedule of
Fees and Charges which described this waiver, as that text is of no
further relevance.
    The NYSE Arca Schedule of Fees and Charges can be found on the
Exchange's Web site at http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/NYSEArca_Listing_
Fees.pdf.
2. Statutory Basis
    The bases under the Exchange Act for this proposed rule change are:
(i) The requirement under Section 6(b)(4) \6\ that an exchange have
rules that provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its members and issuers and other persons
using its facilities, and (ii) the requirement under Section 6(b)(5)
\7\ of the Exchange Act that an exchange have rules that are designed
to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, and are not designed to permit
unfair discrimination between issuers. The Exchange believes that the
proposed technical original listing fee specific to Derivative
Securities Products and Structured Products constitutes an equitable
allocation of fees, as it will be applied consistently to all listed
securities in those classes and is set at a level that is consistent
with the Exchange's overall approach to pricing for Derivative
Securities Products and Structured Products.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4)(sic). The Commission notes that the
correct citation should reflect 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

    Written comments on the proposed rule change were neither solicited
nor received.

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 self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve the proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59004; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2008-108]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Granting
Approval of Proposed Rule Change Revising NYSE Arca Rule 5.3 To Enable
the Listing and Trading of Options on Managed Fund Shares

November 24, 2008.
    On October 9, 2008, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' 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 NYSE Arca Rule to list and trade options on Managed Fund Shares.
The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on October 24, 2008 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. 58799 (October 16,
2008), 73 FR 63534.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Managed Fund Shares represent an interest in a registered
investment company (``Investment Company'') organized as an open-end
management investment company or similar entity. Unlike traditional
exchange traded funds Managed Fund Shares are actively managed. Managed
Fund Shares, although based upon a publicly disclosed portfolio of
securities, each trade as a single exchange-listed equity security.
Accordingly, rules pertaining to the listing and trading of standard
equity options would apply to Managed Fund Shares.
    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 remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general,
to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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).

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

Listing and Trading of Options on Managed Fund Shares

    As set out more fully in the Exchange's notice of its proposal,
NYSE Arca's proposed rules include requirements regarding initial and
continued listing standards, the creation/redemption process for
Managed Fund Shares, and trading halts. Managed Fund Shares must be
traded through a national securities exchange or through the facilities
of a national securities association, and must be ``NMS stock'' as
defined under Rule 600 of Regulation NMS.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 17 CFR 242.600(b)(47).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that, pursuant to NYSE Arca Rules 5.3(g)(1)
and 5.4(k), Managed Fund Shares will be subject to the initial and
continuing eligibility standards for underlying securities provided in
NYSE Arca Rules 5.3 and 5.4, as applicable. In particular, to be
options eligible, a Managed Fund Share must either meet the criteria
and guidelines for underlying securities set forth in NYSE Arca Rule
5.3(a) and (b), or alternately, the Managed Fund Share must be must be
available for creation or redemption each business day in cash or in
kind from or through the issuing trust, investment company, commodity
pool or other issuer at a price related to the net asset value. In
addition, the issuing trust, investment company, commodity pool, or
other issuer is obligated to issue Managed Fund Shares in a specified
aggregate number even though some or all of the investment assets
needed to be deposited have not been received by the issuing trust,
investment company, commodity pool,

or other issuer, provided the authorized creation participant has
undertaken to deliver the investment assets as soon as possible and
such undertaking has been secured by the delivery and maintenance of
collateral consisting of cash or cash equivalents satisfactory to the
issuer of the Managed Fund Shares which underlie the option as
described in the Managed Fund Shares' prospectus.
    To continue to be eligible to underlie options, the Managed Fund
Share must remain an NMS stock listed on a national securities
exchange. The Exchange will also consider the suspension of opening
transactions in any series of options of the class covering Managed
Fund Shares where the Managed Fund Share does not satisfy the
requirements set out in NYSE Arca Rule 5.4(k). These include: (1)
Continued compliance with paragraphs 1 through 4 of NYSE Arca Rule
5.4(b) in the case of options on Managed Fund Shares approved pursuant
to Rule 5.3(g)(1)(A); (2) in the case of options on Managed Fund Shares
approved pursuant to Rule 5.3(g)(1)(B), following the initial twelve-
month period, beginning upon the commencement of trading of the Managed
Fund Shares on a national securities exchange and being defined as an
``NMS stock'', there are fewer than 50 record and/or beneficial holders
of such Managed Fund Shares for 30 or more consecutive trading days;
(3) the value of the index or portfolio of securities, non-U.S.
currency, or portfolio of commodities including commodity futures
contracts, options on commodity futures contracts, swaps, forward
contracts, options on physical commodities and/or Financial Instruments
and Money Market Instruments on which the Managed Fund Shares are based
is no longer calculated or available. In addition, the Exchange retains
discretion to suspend opening transactions in options on Managed Fund
Shares where conditions make further dealings in such options
inadvisable.
    Furthermore, the Exchange represented that options on Managed Fund
Shares will be subject to all Exchange rules governing the trading of
equity options and that the rules pertaining to position and exercise
limits \8\ or margin \9\ shall apply as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Pursuant to NYSE Arca Rule 6.8, Commentary .05 and .06,
Managed Fund Shares are subject to the same position limits
applicable to options on stocks and Exchange-Traded Fund Shares.
NYSE Arca Rule 6.9 stipulates that exercise limits for options on
stocks and other securities, including Managed Fund Shares, shall be
the same as the position limits applicable under NYSE Arca Rule 6.8.
    \9\ See NYSE Arca Rules 4.15(a)-4.16(d), the Exchange's rules
governing margin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surveillance

    The Commission notes that the Exchange has represented that it will
utilize its existing surveillance procedures applicable to options on
exchange traded funds, which would include Managed Fund Shares, to
monitor trading. In addition, the Exchange would implement any new
surveillance procedures it deems necessary to effectively monitor the
trading of options on Managed Fund Shares, including adequate
comprehensive surveillance sharing agreements (``CSSA'') with markets
trading in non-U.S. components,\10\ as applicable. Also, the Exchange
may obtain trading information via the Intermarket Surveillance Group
(``ISG'') \11\ from other exchanges who are members or affiliates of
the ISG. The Exchange represented that it believes that these
procedures will be adequate to properly monitor Exchange trading of
options on these securities and to deter and detect violations of
Exchange rules. This order is based on these representations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See NYSE Arca Rule 5.3(g)(2), the Exchange's rule governing
the applicable CSSA requirements for options on exchange-traded
funds.
    \11\ A complete list of the current members of the ISG, is

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

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\12\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2008-108) is hereby
approved.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2017-0880]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Plum Island River, Newbury, MA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the Plum Island Turnpike Bridge across
Plum Island River, mile 3.3, between Newburyport and Plum Island,
Massachusetts. This deviation is necessary to facilitate a planned
water main repair project and allows the bridge to be closed for twenty
nine days.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 5 a.m. on October 10, 2017
through 5 p.m. on November 7, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2017-0880, is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email James L. Rousseau, Bridge Management
Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone
617-223-8619, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner of the bridge, the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation, requested a temporary deviation in order
to facilitate a planned water main repair next to the bridge. The
project includes installing a temporary water main bypass on the
bridge, preventing span operation.
    The Plum Island Turnpike Bridge across Plum Island River, mile 3.3,
between Newburyport and Plum Island, Massachusetts is a bascule bridge
with a vertical clearance of 13 feet at mean high water and 21 feet at
mean low water in the closed position. The existing drawbridge
operating regulations are listed at 33 CFR 117.615.
    This temporary deviation allows the Plum Island Turnpike Bridge to
remain closed beginning 5 a.m. October 10, 2017 until 5 p.m. November
7, 2017. Plum Island River is transited by small recreational vessels.
Coordination with waterway users has indicated no objections to the
closure of the draw and no requests for openings have occurred during
this period for the last three years.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge without an opening may do so
at all times. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies. The
Atlantic Ocean can be used as an alternate route for vessels to pass.
The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so vessel operators may arrange their transits
to minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1067; Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-052-AD;
Amendment 39-15688; AD 2008-21-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model 390
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model 390 airplanes. This AD
requires you to modify the cabin barometric pressure switch and cabin
altitude high switch installations and perform a functional test of the
switches and related systems. This AD results from the possibility of
barometric pressure switch electrical connections being incorrectly
connected or inadvertently disconnected. We are issuing this AD to
modify the cabin barometric pressure switch and cabin altitude high
switch to prevent them from becoming incorrectly connected or
inadvertently disconnected, which may result in no CABIN ALT HI
annunciation in the cockpit and no automatic deployment of the cabin
oxygen masks. This failure could lead to incapacitation of the crew due
to hypoxia with possible inability to control the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on October 20, 2008.
    On October 20, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by December 8, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We received reports of three occurrences of incorrectly connected
barometric pressure switches on Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Model 390
airplanes. This issue was discovered when an unannunciated cabin
altitude high event occurred on one of the affected airplanes. Because
the electrical connections of the barometric switches are identical,
they have the potential of being incorrectly connected. Also, the wire
cannot be positively secured to the switch, and it may become
inadvertently disconnected. Either condition could cause loss of
ability to annunciate a cabin altitude high condition.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in no CABIN ALT HI
annunciation in the cockpit and no automatic deployment of the cabin
oxygen masks. This failure could lead to incapacitation of the crew due
to hypoxia with possible inability to control the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 21-
3899, issued: May 2008. The service information describes procedures
for modifying the cabin barometric pressure switch and cabin altitude
high switch installations and performing a functional test of the
switches and related systems.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of this AD

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the information and
determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist
or develop on other products of the same type design. This AD requires
you to modify the cabin barometric pressure switch and cabin altitude
high switch installations and perform a functional test of the switches
and related systems.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
occurrences of incorrectly connected barometric switches have been
reported. Also, the terminal used on the switches may be inadvertently
dislodged while performing airplane maintenance in the pedestal area. A
potential consequence of an incorrectly connected or dislodged
barometric switch is no CABIN ALT HI annunciation in the cockpit and no
automatic deployment of the cabin oxygen masks. This failure could lead
to incapacitation of the crew due to hypoxia with possible inability to
control the airplane. Therefore, we determined that notice and
opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable
and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer
than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and an opportunity for
public comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views,
or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number ``FAA-2008-1067;
Directorate Identifier 2008-CE-052-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the AD. We will consider
all comments received by the closing date and may amend the AD in light
of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each

substantive verbal contact we receive concerning this AD.

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 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket that contains the AD, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and other information 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 Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>)
is located at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section.
Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.
