SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-034, OMB Control No. 3235-0034]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 17f-
2(a)

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17f-
2(a) (17 CFR 240.17f-2(a)), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17f-2(a) (Fingerprinting Requirements for Securities
Professionals) requires that securities professionals be fingerprinted.
This requirement serves to identify security-risk personnel, to allow
an employer to make fully informed employment decisions, and to deter
possible wrongdoers from seeking employment in the securities industry.
Partners, directors, officers, and employees of exchanges, brokers,
dealers, transfer agents, and clearing agencies are included.
    The Commission staff estimates that approximately 4,480 respondents
will submit an aggregate total of 289,780 new fingerprint cards each
year or approximately 65 fingerprint cards per year per registrant. The
staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to complete
a fingerprint card is one-half hour. Thus, the total estimated annual
burden is 144,890 hours for all respondents (289,780 times one-half
hour). The average internal cost of compliance per hour is
approximately $283. Therefore, the total estimated annual internal cost
of compliance for all respondents is $41,003,870 (144,890 times $283).
    This rule does not involve the collection of confidential
information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom,
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o John R. Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or by
sending an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: January 5, 2022.

Lower Turnbull Drop; Upper Turnbull Drop; Mill Coulee Drops;
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

June 8, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), Office of
Energy Projects staff has reviewed the application for Birch Power
Company's proposed Lower Turnbull Drop and Upper Turnbull Drop projects
and Wade Jacobsen's proposed Mill Coulee Drops Project and prepared an
environmental assessment (EA). The proposed projects would be located
on the Spring Valley and Mill Coulee Canals, near the Town of
Fairfield, in Teton and Cascade counties, Montana.
    This EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential
future environmental effects of the project, and staff has concluded
that licensing the projects, with appropriate environmental protective
measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter one of the

projects'' docket numbers, excluding the last three digits, in the

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of
section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, and the
requirements governing the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation, 40 CFR Part 142, that the Commonwealth of Virginia is
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. The
Commonwealth has adopted the drinking water regulation for the Ground
Water Rule (GWR) which will provide for better public health protection
by reducing public water system consumers' risk of microbial illness
from drinking water. EPA has determined that the Commonwealth rule
meets all minimum federal requirements, and that the Commonwealth
revision is no less stringent than the corresponding federal
regulation. Therefore, EPA is taking action to tentatively approve
these program revisions. All interested parties are invited to submit
written comments on this determination and may request a public
hearing.

DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by
April 27, 2012. This determination shall become final and effective on
April 27, 2012, if no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is
received and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a
hearing on his own motion, and if no comments are received which cause
EPA to modify its tentative approval.

ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2029. Comments may also be
submitted electronically to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>All documents
relating to this determination are available for inspection between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the following
offices:
     Drinking Water Branch, 3WP21, Water Protection Division,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Schmitt at the Philadelphia
address given above, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER> or
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUMMARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit
written comments on this determination and may request a hearing. All
comments will be considered and, if necessary, EPA will issue a
response. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be
denied by the Regional Administrator. If a substantial request for a
public hearing is made by April 27, 2012, a public hearing will be
held. A request for public hearing shall include the following: (1) The
name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or
other entity requesting a hearing; (2) a brief statement of the
requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's
determination and of information that the requesting person intends to
submit at such hearing; and (3) the signature of the individual making
the request; or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the
organization or other entity.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-58025; File No. SR-FICC-2008-02]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Require Demand Processing for
Blind-Brokered Repo Trades

June 25, 2008.

I. Introduction

    On April 9, 2008, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'')
proposed rule change SR-FICC-2008-02 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'').\1\ On May 14, 2008, the
Commission published notice of the proposed rule change to solicit
comments from interested parties.\2\ The Commission received no comment
letters in response to the proposed rule change as filed. For the
reasons discussed below, the Commission is approving the proposed rule
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57802 (May 8, 2008), 73
FR 27873.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

1. Background

    In 2001, the Government Securities Clearing Corporation (``GSCC''),
the GSD's predecessor, redesigned its comparison rules and procedures
soon after the introduction of the real-time trade matching system. At
that time, GSCC also moved the timing of its settlement guaranty from
the point of netting to the point of comparison, which was much earlier
in the day. In designing these changes, GSCC's goal was to provide
straight through processing by providing for easy identification and
resolution of uncompared trades intraday in order to achieve 100
percent comparison. These changes reduced risk by ensuring that more
transactions were compared and guaranteed by the clearing corporation
earlier in the day so that intraday credit exposure to counterparties
was minimized.
    As part of the redesign of the GSCC comparison rules, GSCC
introduced Demand Comparison, which was a new type of comparison that
was created to provide members with flexibility and control over the
comparison process for trades executed via intermediaries.\3\ Demand
Comparison strikes a balance between ``bilateral comparison'' (the
traditional form of comparison), where each member is required to
submit trade data to the clearing agency in order for the clearing
agency to compare the trade, and ``locked-in comparison,'' where the
trade is submitted as a compared trade to the clearing agency by one
side or by one intermediary.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44946 (October 17,
2001), 66 FR 53816 [File No. SR-GSCC-2001-01].
    \4\ A Treasury auction take-down trade is a typical example of a
trade submitted for Locked-In Comparison.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Demand Comparison entails submission of trade data by approved
intermediaries (e.g., brokers) called ``Demand Trade Sources.'' FICC
deems a trade submitted for Demand Comparison to be compared upon
FICC's receipt of the trade data from the Demand Trade Source. However,
if a

dealer ``does not know'' a trade submitted on its behalf by a Demand
Trade Source, the dealer is able to submit a DK (i.e., ``don't know'')
to the GSD. The receipt of a DK by FICC causes the demand comparison
trade to no longer be deemed compared. In order to effect comparison
for a demand comparison trade that has been DKed, the DK must be
removed. If the member that sent the DK determines that it did so
erroneously, the member is able to remove the DK so that the trade is
compared.\5\ Modification of a DKed trade by the Demand Trade Source
also removes the DK so that the trade is compared.\6\ The removal of
the DK and modification of a DKed trade are subject to the prescribed
timeframes for Demand DK processing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Under this proposal to require Demand Comparison processing
of blind-brokered repo trades, the cut-off time for removing DKs
will be 8 p.m. New York time.
    \6\ Under this proposal to require Demand Comparison processing
of blind-brokered repo trades, the cut-off time for modifications by
Demand Trade Sources will be 8 p.m. New York time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Proposal

    FICC's current proposal is to mandate Demand Comparison for all
blind-brokered repo trades that are submitted by 4 p.m. New York time.
The GSD's members acting as inter-dealer brokers for repos will be
designated as approved Demand Trade Sources. Members on whose behalf
the brokers submit trades will not need to separately authorize the
brokers as their Demand Trade Sources for GSD's purposes because GSD's
rules will do so. After approval of the rule change, counterparties to
blind-brokered repo trades will still need to submit their trade data
as they do currently. Dealers will need to monitor the broker
submissions against them in order to submit DKs where necessary to
block any further processing of the submission. In order to provide the
dealer counterparties with adequate time by which to submit their DKs,
especially for trades submitted close to the 4 p.m. deadline, GSD will
create a 30 minute DK window following the 4 p.m. Demand Comparison
submission deadline (until 4:30 p.m.) during which time the dealer
counterparties can DK previously received demand trades; however,
dealer counterparties will be able to submit DKs at any time during the
Demand Comparison submission processing timeframe. Under Demand
Comparison processing, a dealer counterparty that does not submit a DK
with respect to a blind-brokered repo trade submitted against it will
be responsible for that trade. Blind-brokered repo trades submitted
after the 4 p.m. deadline will be treated as trades submitted for
``bilateral comparison'' requiring two-sided submission and matching
for comparison to occur.
    FICC believes that requiring Demand Comparison for blind-brokered
repo trades as described above will reduce risk by promoting earlier
comparison and a higher rate of comparison. Demand Comparison trade
entry will also encourage members to reconcile differences on a timely
basis.
    FICC plans to implement the proposed changes four months after
submission of this filing to the Commission (i.e., early August),
subject to approval by the Commission, in order to provide members with
the opportunity to make any necessary system changes.

III. Discussion

    Section 19(b) of the Act directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires that the rules
of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions.\7\ The Commission
believes that FICC's proposed rule change is consistent with this
Section because it should facilitate the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of securities by enabling earlier comparison and a
higher rate of comparison of blind-brokered repo transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
in particular Section 17A of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition and capital
formation.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,
that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-FICC-2008-02) be and hereby
is approved.

    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9\

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Metal Coil Surface Coating Plants (40 CFR part
63, subpart SSSS) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that
are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) at which a coil
coating line is operated. A coil coating line is a process in which
special equipment is used to apply an organic coating to the surface of
metal coils; the affected source at each plant site is the collection
of all coil coating lines at the site. The provisions of this Subpart
do not apply to coil coating lines that are part of research or
laboratory equipment or coil coating lines on which at least 85 percent
of the metal coil coated, based on surface area, is less than 0.15
millimeters (0.006 inches) thick, unless the coating line is controlled
by a common control device. New facilities include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart SSSS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities engaged in metal coil
surface coating.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart
SSSS).
    Estimated number of respondents: 48 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,820,000 (per year), which includes $57,600
in annualized capital/setup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total
estimated burden and the number of responses as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any
program changes. The decrease is a result of an adjustment made to the
estimated number of respondents based on data from internal Agency
experts. The total number of respondents is significantly reduced since
the last ICR renewal based on the delisting of methyl ethyl ketone as a
HAP.

[Release No. 34-82909; File No. SR-FICC-2017-022]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Order Instituting Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or
Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Loss Allocation Rules
and Make Other Changes

March 20, 2018.

I. Introduction

    On December 18, 2017, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ proposed rule change SR-
FICC-2017-022 to amend the loss allocation rules and make other changes
(``Proposed Rule Change'').\3\ The Proposed Rule Change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on January 8, 2018.\4\ The
Commission did not receive any comments on the Proposed Rule Change. On
February 8, 2018, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act,\5\
the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve,
disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to approve or
disapprove the Proposed Rule Change.\6\ This order institutes
proceedings, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act,\7\ to
determine whether to approve or disapprove the Proposed Rule Change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ On December 18, 2017, FICC filed this proposal as an advance
notice (SR-FICC-2017-806) with the Commission pursuant to Section
806(e)(1) of the Payment, Clearing, and Settlement Supervision Act
of 2010 (``Clearing Supervision Act'') and Rule 19b-4(n)(1)(i) of
the Act (``Advance Notice''). On January 24, 2018, the Commission
extended the review period of the Advance Notice for an additional
60 days pursuant to Section 806(e)(1)(H) of the Clearing Supervision
Act. See 12 U.S.C. 5465(e)(1); 17 CFR 240.19b-4(n)(1)(i); 12 U.S.C.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Summary of the Proposed Rule Change \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Commission notes that the Summary of the Proposed Rule
Change section does not describe the Proposed Rule Change in its
entirety. Other changes include, but are not limited to, the
clarification of defined terms, various aspects of the Clearing Fund
application, and detailed procedures of the loss allocation. The
complete Proposed Rule Change can be found in the Notice. See
Notice, supra note 4. In addition, the text of the Proposed Rule
Change is available at http://www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures.aspx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described in the Notice,\9\ the proposed rule change consists of
modifications to FICC's Government Securities Division (``GSD'')
Rulebook (``GSD Rules'') and Mortgage-Backed Securities Division
(``MBSD'' and, together with GSD, the ``Divisions'' and, each, a
``Division'') Clearing Rules (``MBSD Rules,'' and collectively with the
GSD Rules, the ``Rules'') in order to amend provisions in the Rules
regarding loss allocation as well as make other changes, as described
in greater detail below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The description of the Proposed Rule Change herein is based
on the statements prepared by FICC in the Notice. See Notice, supra
note 4. Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein has its
respective meaning either (i) as set forth in the Rules, available
at http://www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures.aspx, or (ii) as
set forth in the Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FICC proposes to revise the Rules to primarily change (i) the loss
allocation process,\10\ (ii) the loss allocation governance for
Declared Non-Default Loss Events,\11\ and (iii) the application of the
MBSD Clearing Fund.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Notice, supra note 4, at 855-59.
    \11\ See id. at 859-60.
    \12\ See id. at 860.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Loss Allocation Process

    FICC states that the Divisions would retain the current core loss
allocation process.\13\ However, FICC proposes to revise Rule 4
(Clearing Fund and Loss Allocation) of each Division's Rules to make
five key changes to FICC's loss allocation process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id. at 855.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, FICC proposes to replace the calculation of its corporate
contribution from up to 25 percent of its retained earnings or such
higher amount as the Board of Directors shall determine to a defined
Corporate Contribution.\14\ The proposed Corporate Contribution would
be defined as an amount equal to 50

percent of FICC's General Business Risk Capital Requirement.\15\ FICC's
General Business Risk Capital Requirement is, at a minimum, equal to
the regulatory capital that FICC is required to maintain in compliance
with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(15) under the Act.\16\ In addition, FICC proposes
to mandatorily apply Corporate Contribution (i) prior to a loss
allocation among the applicable Division's members, and (ii) to losses
arising from both Defaulting Member Events and Declared Non-Default
Loss Events.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Id. at 856.
    \15\ Id.
    \16\ Id.; 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(15).
    \17\ Notice, supra note 4, at 856.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, FICC proposes to introduce an Event Period to address the
allocation of losses and liabilities that may arise from or relate to
multiple Defaulting Member Events, Declared Non-Default Loss Events, or
both that arise in quick succession in a Division.\18\ The proposal
would group together Defaulting Member Events and Declared Non-Default
Loss Events occurring in a period of 10 Business Days for purposes of
allocating losses to applicable Tier One Netting Members or Tier One
Members of the respective Divisions in one or more rounds.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ Id. at 856-57.
    \19\ Id. at 857.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Third, FICC proposes to introduce a loss allocation ``round,''
which would mean ``a series of loss allocations relating to an Event
Period, the aggregate amount of which is limited by the sum of the Loss
Allocation Caps of affected Tier One Netting Members or Tier One
Members, as applicable.'' \20\ FICC would notify applicable members
subject to a loss allocation of the amounts being allocated to
them.\21\ Each applicable member would have five Business Days from the
issuance of such first Loss Allocation Notice for the round to notify
FICC of its election to withdraw from membership, and thereby benefit
from its Loss Allocation Cap.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ Id.
    \21\ Id.
    \22\ Id. at 857-58.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fourth, FICC proposes to revise its ``look-back'' period to
calculate a member's loss allocation pro rata share and its Loss
Allocation Cap.\23\ Currently, the Rules calculate, in general, a Tier
One Netting Member's or a Tier One Member's pro rata share for purposes
of loss allocation based on the member's average daily Required Fund
Deposit over the prior 12 months.\24\ FICC proposes to calculate, in
general, each member's pro rata share of losses and liabilities in any
round to be equal to (i) the average of a member's Required Fund
Deposit for 70 Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable
Event Period (``Average RFD'') divided by (ii) the sum of Average RFD
amounts for all members that are subject to a loss allocation in such
round.\25\ Additionally, FICC proposes that each member's Loss
Allocation Cap would be equal to the greater of (i) its Required Fund
Deposit on the first day of the applicable Event Period or (ii) its
Average RFD.\26\

    \24\ Id.
    \25\ Id.
    \26\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fifth, FICC proposes to revise the cap on a loss allocation and the
withdrawal process followed by a loss allocation. As proposed, if a
member provides notice of its withdrawal from membership, in general,
its maximum amount of losses with respect to any loss allocation round
would be its Loss Allocation Cap.\27\ FICC further proposes that
members would have two Business Days after GSD or MBSD issues a first
round Loss Allocation Notice to pay the amount specified in such
notice.\28\ Members would have five Business Days from the issuance of
the first Loss Allocation Notice in any round to decide whether to
terminate its membership, provided that the member complies with the
requirements of the proposed withdrawal process.\29\

    \28\ Id. at 858.
    \29\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Loss Allocation Governance for Declared Non-Default Loss Events

    FICC proposes to enhance the governance around Declared Non-Default
Loss Events that would trigger a loss allocation by specifying that the
Board of Directors would have to determine that there is a non-default
loss that (i) may present a significant and substantial loss or
liability, so as to materially impair the ability of FICC to provide
clearance and settlement services in an orderly manner, and (ii) will
potentially generate losses to be mutualized among members in order to
ensure that FICC may continue to offer clearance and settlement
services in an orderly manner.\30\ FICC would then be required to
promptly notify members of this determination.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ Id. at 859.
    \31\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Application of the MBSD Clearing Fund

    FICC proposes to delete language currently in MBSD Rule 4 (Clearing
Fund and Loss Allocation), Section 5 (Use of Clearing Fund) that limits
certain uses by FICC of the MBSD Clearing Fund to ``unexpected or
unusual'' requirements for funds that represent a ``small percentage''
of the MBSD Clearing Fund.\32\ Specifically, FICC proposes to delete
the limiting language with respect to FICC's use of the MBSD Clearing
Fund to cover losses and liabilities incident to its clearance and
settlement business outside the context of an MBSD Defaulting Member
Event so as to not have such language interpreted as impairing FICC's
ability to access the MBSD Clearing Fund in order to manage non-default
losses.\33\ FICC also proposes to delete the limiting language with
respect to FICC's use of the MBSD Clearing Fund to provide liquidity to
meet its settlement obligation.\34\

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

III. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove the
Proposed Rule Change and Grounds for Disapproval Under Consideration

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \35\ to determine whether the Proposed Rule
Change should be approved or disapproved. Institution of proceedings is
appropriate at this time in view of the legal and policy issues raised
by the Proposed Rule Change. Institution of proceedings does not
indicate that the Commission has reached any conclusions with respect
to any of the issues involved. Rather, the Commission seeks and
encourages interested persons to comment on the Proposed Rule Change,
and provide the Commission with arguments to support the Commission's
analysis as to whether to approve or disapprove the Proposed Rule
Change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \35\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act,\36\ the Commission is
providing notice of the grounds for disapproval under consideration.
The Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for additional
analysis of, and input from commenters with respect to, the Proposed
Rule Change's consistency with Section 17A of the Act,\37\ and the
rules thereunder, including the following provisions:

    \37\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\38\ which requires, among
other things, that the rules of a clearing agency, such as FICC, must
be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement
of securities transactions, to

assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible, and to protect investors and the public interest;

    \38\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Rule 17Ad-22(e)(13) under the Act,\39\ which requires, in
general, a covered clearing agency, such as FICC, to establish,
implement, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to ensure the covered clearing agency has the
authority and operational capacity to take timely action to contain
losses and liquidity demands and continue to meet its obligations.

IV. Procedure: Request for Written Comments

    The Commission requests that interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data, and arguments with respect to the
issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have
with the Proposed Rule Change. In particular, the Commission invites
the written views of interested persons concerning whether the Proposed
Rule Change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\41\
Rule 17Ad-22(e)(13) under the Act,\42\ Rule 17Ad-22(e)(23)(i) under the
Act,\43\ or any other provision of the Act, or the rules and
regulations thereunder. Although there do not appear to be any issues
relevant to approval or disapproval that would be facilitated by an
oral presentation of views, data, and arguments, the Commission will
consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(g) under the Act,\44\ any request for
an opportunity to make an oral presentation.\45\

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53525; File No. SR-Amex-2005-117]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC; Order
Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment Nos. 1 and 2
Thereto Relating to Amendments to the Amex Membership Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation

March 21, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On November 23, 2005, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ andRule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend the Amex Membership Corporation's
(``AMC'') \3\ Restated Certificate of Incorporation (``AMC
Certificate'') and AMC Constitution. On January 24, 2006, Amex filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\4\ On February 1, 2006,
Amex filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change.\5\ The proposed
rule change, as amended, was published for comment in the Federal
Register on February 16, 2006.\6\ The Commission received no comments
on the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change, as
amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ AMC is the sole owner of the Exchange. Amex members (Regular
and Options Principal Members) are members of AMC. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 50927 (December 23, 2004), 69 FR 78486
(December 30, 2004).
    \4\ Amendment No. 1 replaced the original filing in its
entirety.
    \5\ See Partial Amendment No. 2.
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53264 (February 9,
2006), 71 FR 8320.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description and Discussion

    Currently, section 6 of the AMC Certificate provides that AMC shall
make available one Regular Trading Right for each Regular Member and
one Options Principal Trading Right for each Options Principal Member
and that such trading rights shall not be transferred or leased apart
from those memberships. In addition, section 7(a)(ii) of the AMC
Certificate requires the consent of the AMC members (i.e., the Amex
members) to authorize, grant, or issue trading rights other than
Regular Trading Rights, Options Principal Trading Rights, or Limited
Trading Permits.
    The proposed rule change would amend the AMC Certificate to: (i)
Eliminate the reference in section 6 to one trading right, thus
allowing the issuance of more than one right to Regular Members and
Options Principal Members; (ii) eliminate the prohibition in section 6
on such trading rights being transferred or leased apart from Regular
and Options Principal Memberships; and (iii) eliminate the requirement
that a vote of the membership is required for the authorization, grant,
or issuance of trading rights as described in section 7(a)(ii).\7\ The
AMC Board determined to make these changes to give flexibility to Amex
to take prompt action to implement new forms of trading rights designed
to enhance Amex's position in an increasingly competitive and fast
moving marketplace. AMC membership's consent will still be required for
any action taken to increase the number of memberships issued by AMC.
The proposed rule change, as amended, also makes other non-substantive
changes to the AMC Certificate and the Amex Constitution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Amex will still need to obtain the consent of the AMC Board
to authorize, grant, or issue new trading rights. See Amex
Constitution Article 11, section 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with the requirements of section 6 of the Act,\8\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\9\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ which
requires, among other things, that the Exchange's rules 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 mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. The Commission notes that
Amex will still need to obtain AMC Board approval for

the issuance of new trading rights.\11\ The AMC Board can, if it so
chooses, seek the consent of its full membership for any proposal
calling for the issuance of new trading rights. Further, any new
trading rights would be subject to approval by the Commission pursuant
to the rule filing process of section 19 of the Act. The Commission
also notes that the AMC membership's consent will be required for any
action taken by Amex to increase the number of memberships issued by
AMC.\12\ In addition, these changes to the AMC Certificate shall
provide Amex with more flexibility to take prompt action to implement
new forms of trading rights.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 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).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \11\  See Amex Constitution Article II, section 8. The AMC
Nominating Committee nominates director candidates for the AMC board
of directors, and AMC members have the right to put up their own
nominees by petition. The AMC board is then elected by the members
of AMC. See Amended and Restated By-Laws of The Amex Membership
Corporation Sections 1.10, 1.13 and 3.03.
    \12\  See AMC Certificate section 7(a)(ii); Amex Constitution
Article II, section 8; and Amex Constitution Article IV, section
1(a)(1) and section 1(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\13\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Amex-2005-117), as amended,
is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\14\

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-86-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

March 7, 2008.
    Take notice that on February 27, 2008, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (``Tennessee''), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002,
filed in Docket No. CP08-86-000, a petition for Exemption of Temporary
Acts and Operations from Certificate Requirements, pursuant to Rule
207(a)(5) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, and
section 7(c)(1)(B) of the Natural Gas Act, seeking approval of an
exemption from certificate requirements to perform temporary activities
related to drilling a stratigraphic test well to determine the
feasibility of developing an underground natural gas storage facility
in the Carter/Lewis formations in the State of Mississippi, all as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits, in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, call (202)
502-8659 or TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this petition may be directed to Melissa
G. Freeman, Senior Counsel, El Paso Corporation, 1001 Louisiana Street,
Houston, Texas 77002 at<PHONE_NUMBER> and e-mail at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail
