DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31056; Amdt. No. 3678]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective February 3, 2016. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of February 3, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20.
The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form documents is
unnecessary.
    This amendment provides the affected CFR sections, and specifies
the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective
dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the
procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on the
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument
Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific
conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in
this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to
published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.
It, therefore--(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. For the
same reason, the FAA certifies that this amendment will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-86051; File No. SR-BX-2019-002]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq BX, Inc.; Notice of Filing
of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Reassign
Certain Investigation and Enforcement Functions Under the Exchange's
Authority and Supervision

June 6, 2019.

I. Introduction

    On April 5, 2019, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``Exchange'' or ``BX'') 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\ a proposed rule change to assume
operational responsibility for certain investigation and enforcement
functions currently performed by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (``FINRA'') under the Exchange's authority and supervision.
The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on April 24, 2019.\3\ On May 2, 2019, the Exchange filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which amended and replaced
the proposed rule change as originally filed.\4\ The Commission did not
receive any comment letters on the proposed rule change. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on Amendment No. 1 from
interested persons, and is approving the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 85691 (April 18,
2019), 84 FR 17219.
    \4\ In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange: (1) Clarified that the
staff performing surveillance work on behalf of BX's options and
equities markets is the same that performs surveillance work on
behalf of all The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'')-affiliated
equities and options markets; (2) clarified the equities
surveillance patterns and related review functions that were
previously reallocated from FINRA to the Exchange; (3) clarified
that the Exchange bears the ultimate responsibility for self-
regulatory conduct and primary liability for self-regulatory
failures; and (4) made other technical, clarifying, and conforming
changes. Amendment No. 1 is available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-bx-2019-002/srbx2019002-5442622-184831.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Since its acquisition by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., the Exchange
has contracted with FINRA through various regulatory services
agreements to perform certain regulatory functions on its behalf.\5\ At
the same time, the Exchange has retained operational responsibility for
a number of regulatory functions, including real-time surveillance and
most surveillance related to its affiliated options markets.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 4 at 4.
    \6\ See id. at 4-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to reallocate operational responsibility
from FINRA to the Exchange's Regulation Department \7\ for certain
investigation and enforcement activities, specifically: (1)
Investigation and enforcement responsibilities for conduct occurring on
The BX Options Market,\8\ and (2) investigation and enforcement
responsibilities for conduct occurring on BX's equity market only
(i.e., not also on non-Nasdaq-affiliated equities markets).\9\ The
Exchange states that it anticipates a phased transition whereby it
would assume increasing investigation and enforcement responsibility
throughout 2019 and into 2020.\10\ The Exchange also anticipates
transitioning certain matters currently pending with FINRA to the
Exchange's Enforcement Department if the Exchange's Enforcement
Department believes doing so is consistent with ensuring prompt
resolution of regulatory matters.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Exchange's Regulation Department includes the Exchange's
Enforcement Department. See id. at 6 n.7. The Exchange states that
the staff that comprises the Exchange's Regulation Department is the
same that comprises the Nasdaq Regulation Department. See id.
    \8\ The Exchange states that, as appropriate, the Exchange's
Regulation Department will coordinate with other self-regulatory
organizations to the extent it is investigating activity occurring
on non-Nasdaq-affiliated options markets to ensure no regulatory
duplication occurs. See id. at 6 n.8.
    \9\ See id. at 5-6. The Exchange believes its expertise in its
own market structure, coupled with its expertise in surveillance
activities, would enable it to conduct investigation and enforcement
responsibilities for the Exchange effectively, efficiently, and with
immediacy. See id. at 7. The Exchange also states that Commission
approval of the proposal would allow it to better leverage its
surveillance, investigation, and enforcement teams, to deliver
increased efficiencies in the regulation of its market, and to act
promptly and provide more effective regulation. See id. at 10.
    \10\ See id. at 9.
    \11\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange states that FINRA will continue to perform certain
functions, including, among other things: (1) The investigation and
enforcement of conduct occurring on the BX equity market that also
relates to cross market activity on non-Nasdaq-affiliated exchanges;
(2) the handling of contested disciplinary proceedings arising out of
BX Regulation-led investigation and enforcement activities; \12\ and
(3) matters covered by agreements to allocate regulatory responsibility
under Rule 17d-2 of the Act.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ The Exchange states that, for example, pursuant to Rule
9216, if at the conclusion of a BX Regulation-led investigation, BX
Regulation has reason to believe that a violation occurred but the
Respondent disputes the violation and therefore does not execute an
Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (``AWC'') letter, or if the
Respondent executes the AWC letter but the Exchange Review Council,
Review Subcommittee, or FINRA's Office of Disciplinary Affairs does
not accept the executed letter, the Exchange may decide to pursue
formal disciplinary proceedings. In such a case, the Exchange would
refer the matter to FINRA to handle the formal disciplinary
proceedings on its behalf. FINRA's Office of Hearing Officers will
continue to be responsible for the administration of the hearing
process. See id. at 8 n.15.
    \13\ See id. at 8. The Exchange represents that, as with all
investigation and enforcement work, all tasks delegated to FINRA are
subject to BX's supervision and ultimate responsibility. See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities exchange \14\ and, in particular,
with Sections 6(b)(5) and 6(b)(7) of the Act.\15\ As noted above, since
its acquisition by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., the Exchange has
contracted with FINRA through various regulatory services agreements to
perform certain regulatory functions on its behalf.\16\ BX Rule 0150
requires that, unless BX obtains prior Commission approval, the
regulatory functions subject to the regulatory services agreement in
effect at the time when BX executed the agreement in 2008 must at all
times continue to be performed by FINRA or an affiliate thereof or by
another independent self-regulatory organization. The Exchange now
proposes to reallocate operational responsibility for the specific
investigation and enforcement activities discussed above from FINRA to
the

Exchange's Regulation Department.\17\ The Commission believes that the
Exchange could leverage its knowledge of its markets and members, its
experience with investigation and enforcement work, and its
surveillance, investigation, and enforcement staff, in helping it to
effectively and efficiently conduct the reallocated investigation and
enforcement activities. The Commission also notes that the proposal
would be an incremental reallocation of operational responsibility
because the staff of the Exchange's Regulation Department currently
performs the same investigative and enforcement work on behalf of
Nasdaq PHLX LLC, Nasdaq ISE, LLC, Nasdaq GEMX, LLC, and Nasdaq MRX,
LLC.\18\ Moreover, the Commission recently approved a similar proposal
by Nasdaq to reallocate operational responsibility for specific
investigation and enforcement activities from FINRA to Nasdaq.\19\ In
addition, the Exchange states that BX Regulation has instituted the
requisite infrastructure to accommodate the internalization of the
investigative and enforcement work on behalf of the Exchange.\20\
Furthermore, the Exchange states that BX Regulation has developed
comprehensive plans covering the transition and has met regularly for
more than one year to ensure a smooth transition of the work and
prevent any gaps in regulatory coverage.\21\ Accordingly, the
Commission believes that the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5), (7).
    \16\ See supra note 5 and accompanying text.
    \17\ See supra notes 7-9 and accompanying text.
    \18\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 4 at 7. As noted above, the
staff that comprises the Exchange' Regulation Department is the same
that comprises the Nasdaq Regulation Department. See supra note 7.
    \19\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 85505 (April 3,
2019), 84 FR 14170 (April 9, 2019) (SR-NASDAQ-2019-007).
    \20\ See Amendment No. 1, supra note 4 at 8. Specifically, BX
has created a new investigation and enforcement group to perform the
functions covered by this proposal, which included hiring additional
staff. See id. at 9. The Exchange would also leverage its existing
staff of analysts, lawyers, programmers, and market structure
experts to assist, where necessary, with performing the new
functions covered by this proposal. See id.
    \21\ See id. The investigatory and disciplinary processes and
related rules applicable to Exchange members that FINRA currently
follows on the Exchange's behalf (i.e., the Series 8000 and 9000
rules) will remain the same. See id. at 9 n.17.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model AS350 and AS355 helicopters. This
AD

requires inspecting the tail rotor control stop screws to determine if
they are correctly aligned and adjusting the screws if they are
misaligned. This AD is prompted by the discovery of a loose nut on the
tail rotor control stop and a misaligned tail rotor control stop screw.
The actions of this AD are intended to detect a loose nut or a
misaligned stop screw, which, if not corrected, could limit yaw
authority, and consequently, result in a loss of helicopter control.

DATES: This AD is effective October 9, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain documents listed in this AD as of October 9, 2013.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On March 14, 2013, at 78 FR 16200, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to Eurocopter Model
AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, AS350C, AS350D, AS350D1, AS355E,
AS355F, AS355F1, and AS355F2 helicopters with an autopilot installed;
Model AS350B3 helicopters with an autopilot or modification 073252
installed; and Model AS355N and AS355NP helicopters with an autopilot
or modification 071908 installed. The NPRM proposed to require
inspecting the tail rotor control stop screws to determine if they are
correctly aligned and adjusting the screws if they are misaligned. The
proposed requirements were intended to detect a loose nut or a
misaligned stop screw, which, if not corrected, could limit yaw
authority, and consequently, result in a loss of helicopter control.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2011-0164, dated August 31, 2011,
issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued AD No. 2011-0164 to correct an unsafe condition for Eurocopter
Model AS350B, AS350BA, AS350BB, AS350B1, AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350D,
AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N, and AS355NP helicopters with
either an autopilot or certain modifications installed. EASA advises
that during take-off with a sling load, the pilot of a Model AS350B3
helicopter reached one of the yaw stops before its usual position. The
inspection that followed revealed that a tail rotor control stop nut
was loose and that the corresponding tail rotor control stop screw was
``out of adjustment.'' EASA states that this condition, if not detected
and corrected, ``can lead to the loss of adjustment of the affected
stop and consequently limit yaw authority, possibly resulting in loss
of control of the helicopter.''

Comments

    After our NPRM (78 FR 16200, March 14, 2013), was published, we
received comments from one commenter.

Request

    The commenter suggested that an AD is unnecessary because operators
should have already tightened the screw.
    We disagree that an AD is not needed. More than one tightening of a
screw is necessary to correct this unsafe condition. This AD also
requires monitoring the stop screws through repetitive inspections to
determine whether a screw has become loose. Without these inspections,
if a screw becomes loose and is not corrected, yaw authority could be
limited, resulting in loss of helicopter control.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA, reviewed the relevant information,
considered the comment received, and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these
same type designs and that air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Differences Between this AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires contacting Eurocopter under certain
conditions. This does AD not. The EASA AD applies to Eurocopter Model
AS350BB helicopters. This AD does not because Model AS350BB does not
have an FAA type certificate. However, this AD applies to Eurocopter
Model AS350C and AS350D1 helicopters because they have an FAA type
certificate and because they have similar tail rotor stop screw
assemblies as the other applicable helicopter models. The EASA AD does
not apply to the Model AS350C and AS350D1 helicopters.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD to be an interim action because Eurocopter is
developing a modification to address the unsafe condition identified in
this AD. After this modification is developed, approved, and available,
we might consider additional rulemaking.

Related Service Information

    Eurocopter has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. AS350-
05.00.64 for Model AS350B, BA, BB, B1, B2, B3, and D civil helicopters
and Model AS350L1 military helicopters, and ASB No. AS355-05.00.59 for
Model AS355E, F, F1, F2, N, and NP civil helicopters, both Revision 0
and both dated August 30, 2011. The ASBs specify inspecting the locking
of the stop screws and, if warranted, adjusting the stops, marking the
screw/nut assembly with a red line of paint, and periodically
inspecting the paint line's alignment on the screw/nut assembly.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 911 helicopters of U.S.
Registry and that labor costs average $85 per work-hour.

Based on these estimates, we expect the following costs:
     Inspecting the locking of the stop screws takes about a
0.4 work-hour for a labor cost of about $34 per helicopter and $30,974
for the U.S. fleet. No parts are needed.
     Adjusting the stop screws, if needed, requires about a 0.2
work-hour for a labor cost of $17. No parts are needed.
     Painting the line requires a 0.1 work-hour for a labor
cost of about $9 per helicopter and $8,199 for the U.S. fleet. No parts
are needed.

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 helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    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);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) 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 an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

[Docket No. 31193; Amdt. No. 3799]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective May 23, 2018. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of May 23, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.
It, therefore--(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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Related to
Fees for Use of BATS Exchange, Inc.

August 8, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on August 1, 2012, BATS Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BATS'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange has designated
the proposed rule change as one establishing or changing a member due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposed rule change effective upon filing with the
Commission. 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 the fee schedule applicable to
Members \5\ and non-members of the Exchange pursuant to BATS Rules
15.1(a) and (c). Changes to the fee schedule pursuant to this proposal
will be effective upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A Member is any registered broker or dealer that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at http://www.batstrading.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to modify its fee schedule in order to: (i)
Remove a venue currently included as part of the Exchange's ``TRIM''
routing strategy; and (ii) commence charging for certain physical ports
used to access the Exchange at the Exchange's secondary data center.
Each of these proposed changes is described in further detail below.
(i) TRIM Routing Strategy
    The Exchange proposes to modify its fee schedule in order to remove
a specific venue from the Exchange's ``TRIM'' routing strategy. As
defined in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(G), TRIM is a routing option under
which an order checks the System \6\ for available shares if so
instructed by the entering User \7\ and then is sent to destinations on
the System routing table. The TRIM routing strategy is focused on
seeking execution of orders while minimizing execution costs by routing
to certain low cost execution venues on the Exchange's routing table.
Accordingly, the Exchange's current TRIM routing strategy will check
the Exchange's order book (if instructed to do so) and then route to
various venues on the Exchange's routing table, including NASDAQ OMX
BX, Inc. (``NASDAQ BX''), EDGA EXCHANGE, Inc. (``EDGA''), the New York
Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE''), BATS Y-Exchange, Inc. (``BYX Exchange'')
and certain alternative trading systems available through the
Exchange's ``DRT'' strategy (``DRT Venues'').\8\ Effective July 2,
2012, NASDAQ OMX PSX

(``NASDAQ PSX''), began to provide free executions to participants that
met certain volume criteria. The Exchange, in turn, added NASDAQ PSX to
the TRIM routing strategy as a low cost execution venue beginning July
2, 2012. According to a recently announced change, as of August 1,
2012, NASDAQ PSX will charge participants $0.0019 per share to remove
liquidity from its order book in Tape A securities and $0.0027 per
share to remove liquidity from its order book in Tape B and C
securities, rather than continuing to provide executions free of
charge.\9\ Based on this fee increase, the Exchange no longer believes
that NASDAQ PSX should be included in the TRIM routing strategy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As defined in BATS Rule 1.5(aa), the System is the
electronic communications and trading facility designated by the
Board through which securities orders of Users are consolidated for
ranking, execution and, when applicable, routing away.
    \7\ As defined in BATS Rule 1.5(cc), a User is any Member or
Sponsored Participant who is authorized to obtain access to the
System pursuant to Rule 11.3.
    \8\ As set forth in BATS Rule 11.13(a)(3)(E), DRT is a routing
option in which the entering firm instructs the System to route to
alternative trading systems included in the System routing table.
Unless otherwise specified, DRT can be combined with and function
consistent with all other routing options.
    \9\ See Equity Trader Alert 2012-31 (July 30, 2012).
This change was recently announced and will become operative on
August 1, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) Physical Ports to Secondary Data Center
    The Exchange currently charges for both ``logical'' ports used for
order entry or receipt of Exchange data, and, depending on a
participant's connection method (i.e., the number of access points and
bandwidth of connection), also charges for the ``physical'' ports
needed to connect to the Exchange's system. A logical port is also
commonly referred to as a TCP/IP port, and represents a port
established by the Exchange within the Exchange's system for trading
and billing purposes. Each logical port established is specific to a
Member or non-member and grants that Member or non-member the ability
to operate a specific application, such as FIX order entry or PITCH
data receipt. In contrast, a physical port is the port that is used by
a Member or non-member to physically connect to the Exchange at the
data centers where the Exchange's servers are located (i.e., either a
cross-connection or a private line Ethernet connection to the
Exchange's network within the data center). Multiple logical ports can
be created for a single physical port.
    The Exchange currently provides four (4) ``pairs'' of 1G physical
ports without charge to any Member or non-member that has been approved
to connect to the Exchange. A ``pair'' of ports refers to one port at
the site of the Exchange's primary data center and one port at the site
of the Exchange's secondary data center. The Exchange then charges
$2,500 for each additional single 1G physical port provided by the
Exchange to any Member or non-member in any data center. The Exchange
proposes to modify pricing for physical ports used to connect to the
Exchange at the Exchange's secondary data center, which the Exchange is
in the process of migrating to Chicago, Illinois. The Exchange's
secondary data center is operated to provide both the Exchange and
participants that use the Exchange with a back-up facility and
redundant operations in the event there is a disruption or event that
affects the Exchange at the Exchange's primary data center. Thus, the
secondary data center provides redundant connectivity to the Exchange
for Members and non-members.
    In order to help to pay for the infrastructure and other costs
associated with the secondary data center, the Exchange proposes to
impose physical port fees of $1,000 per month per 1G physical port at
the secondary data center. In connection with this change, the Exchange
also proposes clarifying changes to its existing physical port fees as
set forth on the Exchange's fee schedule to ensure that the fee
schedule clearly states that the existing pricing for physical ports
will continue to apply at the primary data center, specifically four
free ports and $2,500 for each additional port thereafter. Based on the
scope of the proposal, the change applies to all Exchange constituents
with physical connections, including Members that obtain ports for
direct access to the Exchange, non-member service bureaus that act as a
conduit for orders entered by Exchange Members that are their
customers, Sponsored Participants, and market data recipients.
    The Exchange currently provides the option to connect directly with
the Exchange via 10G physical ports to any Member or non-member that
has been approved to connect to the Exchange. Due to the infrastructure
costs associated with providing the additional bandwidth for 10G
physical ports, the Exchange currently charges $2,500 per month for
each physical 10G port provided by the Exchange to any Member or non-
member. The Exchange is not proposing any changes to its pricing for
10G physical ports but has proposed to make clear that this pricing
applies to 10G physical ports in either data center.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act.\10\
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\11\ in that it provides for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and other persons using any facility or system which the
Exchange operates or controls. The Exchange notes that it operates in a
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily
direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a
particular venue to be excessive. The Exchange also notes that with
respect to the routing changes proposed in this filing, although
routing options are available to all Users, Users are not required to
use the Exchange's routing services, but instead, the Exchange's
routing services are completely optional. Members can manage their own
routing to different venues or can utilize a myriad of other routing
solutions that are available to market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that removing NASDAQ PSX from the TRIM
routing option is reasonable because NASDAQ PSX will no longer provide
executions free of charge, as described above. As such, the Exchange
believes that the proposed change to remove NASDAQ PSX from the TRIM
routing option is a fair and reasonable and equitable allocation of
fees in that it is consistent with the goal of routing to low cost
execution venues. The Exchange also believes that the proposed change
to the TRIM routing strategy is fair and equitable and not unreasonably
discriminatory in that it will apply equally to all Exchange Users.
    The Exchange believes that its proposed physical port fees for all
1G physical connections to the secondary data center are equitably
allocated among its constituents because the fees will enable the
Exchange to recoup some of the additional infrastructure costs
associated with establishing and maintaining physical ports that can be
used to connect to the Exchange's systems at a secondary location. The
Exchange notes that the physical port fees imposed by its competitors
are similar to, and in some cases higher than, the physical port fees
charged by the Exchange.\12\ Accordingly, the Exchange believes that
the proposed port fees are reasonable. The Exchange also believes that
its proposed fee for each 1G physical port used to access the secondary
data center is reasonable due to the continued provision of up to four

free 1G physical ports that can be established to access the Exchange's
primary data center. Finally, the Exchange believes that the fees
proposed for physical ports to access the secondary data center are not
unfairly discriminatory, in that they are uniform in application to all
Members and non-Members, and are based on each Member's or non-Member's
individual capacity needs and needs for redundancy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See, e.g., NASDAQ Rule 7034(b) (setting forth physical
connection charges to connect to NASDAQ, including physical
connection fees ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 per month, depending
on the method of connectivity).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended.
Because the market for order execution is extremely competitive,
Members may readily opt to disfavor the Exchange's routing services if
they believe that alternatives offer them better value. The proposed
change is designed to ensure that the TRIM routing strategy efficiently
focuses on low cost execution venues, thereby allowing it to remain
competitive. Similarly, the Exchange believes that its proposed
physical access fees are similar to and, in some cases, less than, the
fees imposed by competitors to the Exchange. The Exchange does not
believe that the imposition of physical port fees to connect to the
Exchange's secondary data center will burden competition, but, to the
contrary, the Exchange believes that the proposal will help the
Exchange to recoup some of its infrastructure costs and, in turn,
