14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0364; Directorate Identifier 2006-NM-281-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX Airplanes
and Model Falcon 900EX Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

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

    During a flight test performed on an EASy aircraft, subsequently
to an air data probe failure, the crew realized that the Flight path
vectors and the Vertical speeds that were displayed on pilot's and
co-pilot's PDU (primary display unit) were identically wrong.
    A review of the EASy architecture reveals that * * * One single
ADS unflagged air data error may lead to the computation and display
on both pilot's and co-pilot's display units of unnoticed and
misleading flight information.
    At take-off or during go-around this situation might
considerably reduce flight safety.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 30, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2006-0157, dated June 7, 2006 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During a flight test performed on an EASy aircraft, subsequently
to an air data probe failure, the crew realized that the Flight path
vectors and the Vertical speeds that were displayed on pilot's and
co-pilot's PDU (primary display unit) were identically wrong.
    A review of the EASy architecture reveals that the current
wiring of Air Data System (ADS) and IRS (inertial reference system)
units is not compliant with the certified safety objectives. All IRS
primary inputs are wired to the same General Purpose (GP) Bus and
thus basic requirements for ADS segregation are not met. One single
ADS unflagged air data error may lead to the computation and display
on both pilot's and co-pilot's display units of unnoticed and
misleading flight information.
    At take-off or during go-around this situation might
considerably reduce flight safety.
    This AD mandates a wiring modification of IRS [no.] 2 and a test
of General Purpose bus IRS entry per application of SB-F2000EX-89 on
Falcon 2000EX EASy and per application of SB-F900EX-274 on Falcon
900EX EASy.
    Furthermore in order to maintain ADS parameter segregation
against possible failures, this AD also requires F2000EX EASy and
F900EX EASy operators to comply with the modifications made to the
respective Chapter 5.40 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manuals that
contain an additional periodic functional test of the IRS GP Bus I/O
(input/output).
    Dispatch conditions under MMEL (master minimum equipment list)
in case of an IRS2 failure are modified after implementation of the
wiring change.

The corrective actions involve checking the integrity of the GP bus and
IRS2, and repairing them as applicable. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Dassault has issued Service Bulletins F2000EX-89, dated March 17,
2006, and F900EX-274, dated March 17, 2006. Dassault has also issued
Section 34-209, dated March 2007, of the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASY/
900DX Maintenance Manual; and section 34-209, dated May 2007, of the
Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy Maintenance Manual. The actions described
in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe
condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 62 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 3 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost a negligible amount per product.
Where the service information lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge
for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S.
operators to be $14,880, or $240 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator,

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

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

Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA-2008-0364; Directorate Identifier
2006-NM-281-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by April 30, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX airplanes,
serial number (S/N) 6, and S/N 28 and subsequent; and Model Falcon
900EX airplanes, S/N 97, S/N 120 and subsequent; certificated in any
category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 34:
Navigation.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    During a flight test performed on an EASy aircraft, subsequently
to an air data probe failure, the crew realized that the Flight path
vectors and the Vertical speeds that were displayed on pilot's and
co-pilot's PDU (primary display unit) were identically wrong.
    A review of the EASy architecture reveals that the current
wiring of Air Data System (ADS) and IRS (inertial reference system)
units is not compliant with the certified safety objectives. All IRS
primary inputs are wired to the same General Purpose (GP) Bus and
thus basic requirements for ADS segregation are not met. One single
ADS unflagged air data error may lead to the computation and display
on both pilot's and co-pilot's display units of unnoticed and
misleading flight information.
    At take-off or during go-around this situation might
considerably reduce flight safety.
    This AD mandates a wiring modification of IRS [no.] 2 and a test
of General Purpose bus IRS entry per application of SB-F2000EX-89 on
Falcon 2000EX EASy and per application of SB-F900EX-274 on Falcon
900EX EASy.
    Furthermore in order to maintain ADS parameter segregation
against possible failures, this AD also requires F2000EX EASy and
F900EX EASy operators to comply with the modifications made to the
respective Chapter 5.40 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manuals that
contain an additional periodic functional test of the IRS GP Bus I/O
(input/output).
    Dispatch conditions under MMEL (master minimum equipment list)
in case of an IRS2 failure are modified after implementation of the
wiring change.
    The corrective actions involve checking the integrity of the GP
bus and IRS2, and repairing them as applicable.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) For Model Falcon 2000EX airplanes without Dassault
Modification M2758 and Model Falcon 900EX airplanes without Dassault
Modification M5143 in the applicability range: Within 3 months after
the effective date of this AD, do the IRS2 wiring modification and
test the GP (general purpose) bus IRS entry. Do all actions in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault Service
Bulletin F2000EX-89, dated March 17, 2006; or Dassault Service
Bulletin F900EX-274, dated March 17, 2006; as applicable. Repeat the
test at intervals not to exceed 5,000 flight hours. If the GP bus
IRS entry fails any test, before further flight, do all applicable
corrective actions in accordance with the procedures in Section 34-
209, dated March 2007, of the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASY/900DX
Maintenance Manual; or Section 34-209, dated May 2007, of the
Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy Maintenance Manual; as applicable.
    (2) For Model Falcon 2000EX airplanes with Dassault Modification
M2758 and Model Falcon 900EX airplanes with Dassault Modification
M5143 in the applicability range: Within 5,000 flight hours after
date of issuance of the original French standard airworthiness
certificate or the date of issuance of the original French export
certificate of airworthiness, or within 3 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs later, do a test of the GP bus IRS
entry in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dassault
Service Bulletin F2000EX-89, dated March 17, 2006; or Dassault
Service Bulletin F900EX-274, dated March 17, 2006; as applicable.
Repeat the test at intervals not to exceed 5,000 flight hours. If
the GP bus IRS entry fails any test, before further flight, do the
corrective actions in accordance with the procedures in Section 34-
209, dated March 2007, of the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASY/900DX
Maintenance Manual; or Section 34-209, dated May 2007, of the
Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy Maintenance Manual; as applicable.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
    (1) Where the MCAI specifies to do a test of the GP bus IRS
entry in accordance with Chapter 5.40 of the applicable Dassault
Maintenance Manual and does not specify a corrective action, we
require those corrective actions to be done in accordance with
Section 34-209, dated March 2007, of the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASY/
900DX Maintenance Manual; or Section 34-209, dated May 2007, of the
Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy Maintenance Manual; as applicable.
    (2) The MCAI specified to revise the applicable Dassault MMEL by
incorporating Dassault Temporary Change 4, dated June 15, 2006, to
the Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy MMEL (for Model F2000EX EASy
airplanes); and Dassault Temporary Change 3, dated June 15, 2006, to
the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASy MMEL (for Model F900EX EASy
airplanes); as applicable. However, the FAA-approved MMEL (which is
required to be used by operators) has been revised to include the
information specified in the Dassault temporary changes. Therefore,
we have not included a requirement for this revision in this AD.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Tom
Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116, FAA,
Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 28, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish Class E airspace for
IFR operations at Cando Municipal Airport, Cando, ND, creating
additional controlled airspace at Cando Municipal Airport (79 FR 64151)
Docket No. FAA-2014-0746. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9Y dated
August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Y, airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class
A,B,C,D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace designated as a surface area
within a 6.5-mile radius of Cando Municipal Airport, Cando, ND.
Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate new Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures at Cando Municipal Airport. The FAA is taking this
action to enhance the safety and management of IFR operations for SIAPs
at the airport.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the

scope of that authority as it establishes controlled airspace at Cando
Municipal Airport, Cando, ND.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following is a summary of the
application. The complete application may be obtained via the
Commission's Web site by searching for the file number, or an applicant
using the Company name box, at http://www.sec.gov/search/search.htm or
by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Applicants' Representations:
    1. The Trust is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Act and organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
The Trust offers series that operate pursuant to the Prior Order. The
Adviser, which is registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers Act''), or an entity
controlled by or under common control with the Adviser will serve as
investment adviser to each Fund.
    2. Applicants request relief that would provide greater operational
flexibility to the Funds by permitting: (a) The Funds to enter into
short positions in the component securities comprising the relevant
Underlying Index (``Component Securities''); (b) each Conventional Fund
to invest at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral
held for purposes of securities lending) in Component Securities and/or
investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially
identical to the economic characteristics of Component Securities; and
(c) Leveraged Funds (defined below) to determine what percentage, if
any, of its total assets to invest in Component Securities. Applicants
state this greater operational flexibility will provide the Funds with
the ability to pursue more cost-effective techniques in seeking to
achieve their investment objectives. ``Leveraged Funds'' are Funds that
seek a specified multiple, up to 300%, of the performance of an
Underlying Index

and ``Inverse Funds'' are Funds that seek a specified multiple, up to
300%, of the inverse performance of an Underlying Index.
    3. Applicants also seek to amend the terms and conditions of the
Prior Application to provide that all representations and conditions
contained in the Prior Application that require a Fund to disclose
particular information in the Fund's prospectus (``Prospectus'') and/or
annual report shall be effective with respect to the Fund until the
time that the Fund complies with the disclosure requirements adopted by
the Commission in Investment Company Act Release No. 28584 (Jan. 13,
2009) (``Summary Prospectus Rule''). Applicants state that such
amendment is warranted because the Commission's amendments to Form N-1A
with regard to exchange-traded funds as part of the Summary Prospectus
Rule reflect the Commission's view with respect to the appropriate
types of prospectus and annual report disclosures for an exchange-
traded fund.
    4. Applicants also seek relief to introduce Conventional Funds that
will be 130/30 Funds. Applicants state that in general, ``130/30''
strategies: (a) establish long positions in securities such that total
long exposure amounts to approximately 130% of net assets; and (b)
simultaneously establish short positions in other securities such that
total short exposure amounts to approximately 30% of net assets. Each
130/30 Fund will hold at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of
collateral held for purposes of securities lending) in the Component
Securities that are specified for the long positions and could invest
up to 20% in such Component Securities, cash equivalents or other
securities. The 130/30 Funds would also enter into financial
instruments to obtain any remaining 50% long and 30% short positions
dictated by its Underlying Index. The 130/30 Funds will provide full
portfolio disclosure so that the intraday value of a 130/30 Fund can
accurately be calculated, market participants will be able to
understand the principal investment strategies of the 130/30 Funds, and
informed trading of 130/30 Funds' ETS may occur. The creation and
redemption process for the 130/30 Funds will be the same as for the
existing Leveraged Funds in that Creation Units of 130/30 Funds will
generally be purchased and redeemed for a basket of in-kind securities
and cash, or solely cash.
    5. Applicants believe that the requested relief continues to meet
the necessary exemptive standards.
    Applicants' Legal Analysis:
    1. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security or transaction, or any class of persons,
securities or transactions, from any provision of the Act, if and to
the extent that such exemption is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and the
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
    2. Applicants seek to amend the Prior Order to delete the relief
granted from section 24(d) of the Act. Applicants state that the
deletion of the exemption from section 24(d) that was granted in the
Prior Order is warranted because the adoption of the Summary Prospectus
Rule should supplant any need by a Fund to use a product description
(``Product Description''). The deletion of the relief granted with
respect to section 24(d) of the Act from the Prior Order will also
result in the deletion of related discussions in the Prior Application,
revision of the Prior Application to delete references to Product
Description including in the conditions, and the deletion of condition
4 of the Prior Order.
    Applicants' Conditions:
    Applicants agree that any amended order granting the requested
relief will be subject to the same conditions as those imposed by the
Prior Order except for condition 4 which will be deleted. All
representations and conditions contained in the application and the
Prior Application that require a Fund to disclose particular
information in the Fund's Prospectus and/or annual report shall remain
effective with respect to the Fund until the time that the Fund
complies with the disclosure requirements adopted by the Commission in
Investment Company Act Release No. 28584 (Jan. 13, 2009).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
pursuant to delegated authority.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63431; File No. SR-C2-2010-009]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
Related to the Penny Pilot Program

December 3, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on December 2, 2010, the C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``Exchange'' or ``C2'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described
in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Exchange has designated the proposal as a ``non-
controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule

19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

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

    The Exchange is proposing to amend its rules relating to the Penny
Pilot Program. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the
Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal/crclc2rulefiling.aspx),
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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 6.4--Minimum Increments for
Bids and Offers to ensure that the C2 rule language regarding the Penny
Pilot Program tracks that of the language of Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'') regarding CBOE's Penny Pilot Program,
as relevant to C2. CBOE recently proposed a rule change to amend its
Rule 6.42 to extend CBOE's Penny Pilot Program's expiration date.\5\ C2
hereby amends its Rule 6.4 to further clarify and ensure that the C2
Penny Pilot Program mirrors that of CBOE, as applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-63386 (November
29, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE's Penny Pilot Program is scheduled to expire on December 31,
2010. CBOE proposed to extend the Penny Pilot Program until December
31, 2011.\6\ C2 desires to clarify that C2 also wants to include
December 31, 2011 as the expiration date for the C2 Penny Pilot
Program. Extending the Pilot Program will allow for further analysis of
the Pilot Program and a determination of how the Pilot Program should
be structured in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    During this extension of the Pilot Program, C2 may replace any
option class which is currently included in the Pilot Program and which
is delisted with the next most actively-traded, multiple-listed option
class that is not yet participating in the Pilot Program (``replacement
class''). Any replacement class would be determined based on national
average daily volume in the preceding six months, and would be added on
the second trading day following January 1, 2011 and July 1, 2011.\7\
C2 will announce any replacement classes by circular.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The month immediately preceding their addition to the Pilot
Program, i.e., December or June, would not be used for purposes of
the six month analysis. For example, a replacement class to be added
on the second trading day following January 1 would be identified
based on OCC volume data from June 1 through November 30.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    C2 is specifically authorized to act jointly with the other options
exchanges participating in the Penny Pilot Program in identifying any
replacement class. C2 will submit to the SEC semi-annual reports that
will analyze the impact of the Penny Pilot on market quality and
systems capacity. This report will include, but is not limited to the
following: (1) Data and analysis of the number of quotations generated
for options included in the report; (2) an assessment of the quotation
spreads for the options included in the report; (3) an assessment of
the impact of the Pilot Program on its automated systems; (4) data
reflecting the size and depth of markets; and (5) any capacity problems
or other problems that arose related to the operation of the Pilot
Program and how the Exchange addressed them.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the rule proposal is consistent with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations under the Act applicable to a national securities exchange
and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) Act \9\ requirements that the rules
of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. In particular, the proposed
rule change allows for an extension of the Penny Pilot Program for the
benefit of market participants.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    C2 does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. C2 has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Safety Zone; Upper Mississippi River, Mile 389.4 to 403.1

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

movement operations on the Upper Mississippi River. Entry into this
zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the
Port Upper Mississippi River or a designated representative.

DATES: Effective Date: this rule is effective in the CFR from December
15, 2011 until 7 p.m. CST on December 21, 2011. This rule is effective
with actual notice for purposes of enforcement beginning 7 a.m. on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not using the NPRM process. The Coast Guard received
notice that bridge span movement operations would take place on
November 22, 2011. This short notice did not allow for the time needed
to publish a NPRM and provide for a comment period. The Coast Guard
determined that a safety zone is necessary to protect vessels and
mariners from the hazards associated with transporting the bridge
spans. Delaying this rule and the necessary protections by publishing a
NPRM would be impracticable and would unnecessarily delay the bridge
span operations. This rule is needed to protect vessels and mariners
from the safety hazards associated with transporting bridge spans in
the vicinity of Mile 389.4 to 403.1 on the Upper Mississippi River.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for

making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register. The Coast Guard received notice that the bridge spans
would be transported and impact navigation on November 22, 2011. This
short notice did not allow for a 30 day notice period. The Coast Guard
determined that a safety zone is necessary to protect vessels and
mariners from the hazards associated with transporting the bridge
spans. Delaying the rule's effective date would be impracticable
because immediate action is needed to protect vessels and mariners from
the safety hazards associated with transporting bridge spans in the
vicinity of Mile 389.4 to 403.1 on the Upper Mississippi River.

Basis and Purpose

    On November 22, 2011, Ames Construction will be transporting bridge
spans between Mile 389.4 to 403.1 on the Upper Mississippi River
located on the Iowa and Illinois border. This event presents safety
hazards to the navigation of vessels between Mile 389.4 to 403.1,
extending the entire width of the river.

Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for all
waters of the Upper Mississippi River, Mile 389.4 to 403.1, extending
the entire width of the river and located on the Iowa and Illinois
border. Entry into this zone is prohibited to all vessels and persons
except participants and those persons and vessels specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Upper Mississippi River. This
rule is effective from 7 a.m. on November 22, 2011 through 7 p.m. CST
on December 21, 2011. The currently scheduled date for bridge span
operations and enforcement of this rule is November 22, 2011. Dates of
bridge span operations may change within the November 22, 2011 through
December 21, 2011 effective period for this rule. The Captain of the
Port Upper Mississippi River will inform the public through broadcast
notice to mariners of all safety zone requirements, changes, and
enforcement periods.

Regulatory Analyses

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

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Executive Order 12866
or under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management
and Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit the Upper Mississippi River on the Iowa and Illinois border
between Mile 389.4 to 403.1, from 7 a.m. on November 22, 2011 through 7
p.m. CST on December 21, 2011. This safety zone will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because this rule will only be in effect for a limited period of time.
    If you are a small business entity and are significantly affected
by this regulation, please contact Chief Petty Officer Ryan
Christensen, Sector Upper Mississippi River at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small businesses. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-(888) REG-
FAIR (1-(888) 734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy
or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

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

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

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

Civil Justice Reform

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

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the

Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

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

Technical Standards

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

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit
the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule
establishes a temporary safety zone.
    An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are required for this rule, and will be provided as
indicated in the ADDRESSES Section.
