position throughout the month of November to facilitate the maintenance

to 11:59 on November 30, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Marinis Bros. Inc., on behalf of Delaware
Department of Transportation (DelDOT), has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating regulation of the SR 13 Bridge
across the Nanticoke River, mile 39.6, at Seaford, DE. The requested
deviation is to accommodate painting and cleaning of the bridge. The
vertical clearance of this single-leaf bascule bridge is three feet at
mean high water (MHW) in the closed position and unlimited in the open
position. During this deviation period, the vertical clearance will be
limited to one foot at MHW due to the scaffolding that will be used for
the maintenance of the bridge. The bridge will remain in the closed
position for the entire month. In critical situations the bridge will
be able to open if at least 24 hours of notice is given. There are no
alternate routes available to vessels.
    The current operating schedule for the bridge is set out in 33 CFR
117.243(b). According to that schedule, during the month of November
the bridge shall open on signal, except that from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Monday through Friday and 3:30 p.m. through 7:30 a.m. Saturday and
Sunday, if at least four hours notice is given.
    Logs from November 2010 have shown that there were 20 openings for
the entire month. Sixteen of those openings were on November 13th and
14th. The openings were due to a Bass Fishing Tournament; however, the
tournament is not scheduled for this year minimizing the amount of
anticipated openings. The majority of vessel traffic utilizing this
waterway is recreational boaters. There is one mariner that requests
most of the bridge openings throughout the winter months. Marinis
Bros., Inc. has coordinated with this mariner. DelDOT has coordinated
with the town concerning the month long bridge closure as well. The
Coast Guard will inform all other users of the waterway through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners so that mariners can arrange
their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary
deviation. The Coast Guard will also require the bridge owner to post
signs on either side of the bridge notifying mariners of the temporary
regulation change.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: October 12, 2011.
Waverly W. Gregory, Jr.,
Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The principal purpose of the rule amendments is to permit ICE Clear
Europe to act as the clearing organization for certain futures and
options contracts listed on ICE Futures U.S. Inc. (``ICE Futures US''),
a designated contract market with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission. The rule amendments consist of various conforming and
technical changes to existing ICE Clear Europe rules and delivery
procedures to reflect the clearing relationship for ICE Futures US. All
capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in the ICE Clear
Europe Delivery Procedures.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICE Clear Europe 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. ICE Clear Europe has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections (A), (B) and (C) below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by ICE Clear Europe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    ICE Clear Europe will act as the clearing organization for certain
futures and options contracts listed on ICE Futures US, a designated
contract market with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The rule
amendments consist of various conforming and technical changes to
existing ICE Clear Europe delivery procedures to reflect the clearing
relationship for ICE Futures US.
    Specifically, Section H of the ICE Clear Europe Delivery Procedures
has been updated to apply to all ICE Futures US Contracts for which
physical delivery is specified as being `Applicable' in the relevant
Contract

Terms and which go to physical delivery on the expiry date.
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \6\ requires, among other things,
that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt
and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and,
to the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and
transactions. ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed rule changes
are consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to ICE Clear Europe, in particular,
with Section 17A(b)(3)(F),\7\ because they protect investors and the
public interest.

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

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICE Clear Europe does not believe the proposed change would have
any impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed change have not been
solicited or received. ICE Clear Europe will notify the Commission of
any written comments received by ICE Clear Europe.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) \8\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \9\
thereunder because it primarily affects the futures clearing operations
of the clearing agency with respect to futures that are not security
futures, and does not significantly affect the securities clearing
operations of the clearing agency or any related rights or obligations
of the clearing agency or persons using such service. At any time
within 60 days of the filing of the proposed procedure changes, 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.\10\
