[USCG-2018-0496]

2018 Quarterly Listings; Safety Zones, Security Zones, Special
Local Regulations, Drawbridge Operation Regulations and Regulated
Navigation Areas

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of expired temporary rules issued.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides notification of substantive rules
issued by the Coast Guard that were made temporarily effective but
expired before they could be published in the Federal Register. This
document lists temporary safety zones, security zones, special local
regulations, drawbridge operation regulations and regulated navigation
areas, all of limited duration and for which timely publication in the
Federal Register was not possible.

DATES: This document lists temporary Coast Guard rules that became
effective, primarily during the period between April 2018 and June
2018, unless otherwise indicated, and were terminated before they could
be published in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Temporary rules listed in this document may be viewed
online, under their respective docket numbers, using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

Administrative Law, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coast Guard District Commanders and Captains
of the Port (COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety and
security needs within their jurisdiction; therefore, District
Commanders and COTPs have been delegated the authority to issue certain
local regulations. Safety zones may be established for safety or
environmental purposes. A safety zone may be stationary and described
by fixed limits or it may be described as a zone around a vessel in
motion. Security zones limit access to prevent injury or damage to
vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities. Special local regulations are
issued to enhance the safety of participants and spectators at regattas
and other marine events. Drawbridge operation regulations authorize
changes to drawbridge schedules to accommodate bridge repairs, seasonal
vessel traffic, and local public events. Regulated Navigation Areas are
water areas within a defined boundary for which regulations for vessels
navigating within the area have been established by the regional Coast
Guard District Commander.
    Timely publication of these rules in the Federal Register may be
precluded when a rule responds to an emergency, or when an event occurs
without sufficient advance notice. The affected public is, however,
often informed of

these rules through Local Notices to Mariners, press releases, and
other means. Moreover, actual notification is provided by Coast Guard
patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions imposed by the rule. Because
Federal Register publication was not possible before the end of the
effective period, mariners were personally notified of the contents of
these safety zones, security zones, special local regulations,
regulated navigation areas or drawbridge operation regulations by Coast
Guard officials on-scene prior to any enforcement action. However, the
Coast Guard, by law, must publish in the Federal Register notice of
substantive rules adopted. To meet this obligation without imposing
undue expense on the public, the Coast Guard periodically publishes a
list of these temporary safety zones, security zones, special local
regulations, regulated navigation areas and drawbridge operation
regulations. Permanent rules are not included in this list because they
are published in their entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary
rules are also published in their entirety if sufficient time is
available to do so before they are placed in effect or terminated.
    The following unpublished rules were temporarily in effect during
the period between April 2018 and June 2018, unless otherwise
indicated. To view copies of these rules, visit www.regulations.gov and

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

    Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``C2'') proposes to
amend its Rules regarding how the System handles market orders in
series with no bid or no offer.
    (additions are italicized; deletions are [bracketed])
* * * * *
    Rules of Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc.
* * * * *
    Rule 6.14. Order and Quote Price Protection Mechanisms and Risk
Controls
    The System's acceptance and execution of orders and quotes pursuant
to the Rules, including Rules 6.11 through 6.13, are subject to the
following price protection mechanisms and risk controls, as applicable.
    (a) Simple Orders.
    (1) Market Orders in No-Bid (Offer) Series. [If a User submits a
sell (buy) market order to the System after a series is open when there
is no NBB (NBO), the System cancels or rejects the market order.]
    (A) If the System receives a sell market order in a series after it
is open for trading with an NBB of zero:
    (i) if the NBO in the series is less than or equal to $0.50, then
the System converts the market order to a limit order with a limit
price equal to the minimum trading increment applicable to the series
and enters the order into the Book with a timestamp based on the time
it enters the Book. If the order has a Time-in-Force of GTC or GTD that
expires on a subsequent day, the order remains on the Book as a limit
order until it executes, expires, or the User cancels it.
    (ii) if the NBO in the series is greater than $0.50, then the
System cancels or rejects the market order.
    (B) If the System receives a buy market order in a series after it
is open for trading with an NBO of zero, the System cancels or rejects
the market order.

    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.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 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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    In 2016, the Exchange's parent company, Cboe Global Markets, Inc.
(formerly named CBOE Holdings, Inc.) (``Cboe Global''), which is also
the parent company of Cboe Exchange, Inc. (``Cboe Options'') and Cboe
C2 Exchange, Inc., acquired the Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. (``EDGA''),
Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX or EDGX Options''), Cboe BZX Exchange,
Inc. (``BZX'' or ``BZX Options''), and Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. (``BYX''
and, together with C2, Cboe Options, EDGX, EDGA, and BZX, the ``Cboe
Affiliated Exchanges''). The Cboe Affiliated Exchanges are working to
align certain system functionality, retaining only intended differences
between the Cboe Affiliated Exchanges, in the context of a technology
migration. Thus, the proposals set forth below are intended to add
certain functionality to the Exchange's System that is more similar to
functionality offered by Cboe Options in order to ultimately provide a
consistent technology offering for market participants who interact
with the Cboe Affiliated Exchanges. Although the Exchange intentionally
offers certain features that differ from those offered by its
affiliates and will continue to do so, the Exchange believes that
offering similar functionality to the extent practicable will reduce
potential confusion for Users.
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Rules regarding how the System
handles a sell market order when there is no bid against which the
order may execute. A market order is an order to buy or sell at the
best price available at the time of execution.\5\ Currently, pursuant
to Rule 6.14(a)(1), if a User submits a sell market order to the System
after a series is open when there is no national best bid (``NBB''),
the System cancels or rejects the market order.\6\ The Exchange
proposes to amend how the System handles sell market orders submitted
in a series with no bid. Specifically, if the System receives a market
order to sell in an option series with an NBB of zero:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Rule 1.1, definition of order.
    \6\ Current Rule 6.14(a)(1) also provides that if a User submits
a buy market order to the System after a series is open when there
is no national best offer (``NBO''), the System cancels or rejects
the market order. The proposed rule change does not modify this
handling, and moves this provision (with nonsubstantive changes) to
proposed Rule 6.14(a)(1)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) if the NBO in the series is less than or equal to $0.50, then
the System converts the market order to a limit order with a limit
price equal to the minimum trading increment applicable to the series
and enters the order into the Book with a timestamp based on the time
it enters the Book. If the order has a Time-in-Force of GTC or GTD that
expires on a subsequent day, the order remains on the Book as a Limit
Order until it executes, expires, or the User cancels it.
    (2) if the NBO in the series is greater than $0.50, then the System
cancels the market order.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See proposed Rule 6.14(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change serves as a protection feature for
investors in certain situations, such as when a series is no-bid
because the last bid traded just prior to entry of the sell market
order. The purpose of this threshold is to limit the automatic booking
of market orders to sell at minimum increments to only those for true
zero-bid options, as options in no-bid series with an offer of greater
than $0.50 are less likely to be worthless.
    For example, if the System receives a sell market order in a no-bid
series with a minimum increment of $0.01 and the NBO is $0.01, the
System will convert the order to a limit order with a price of $0.01
and enter it on the Book. Because the order will have a timestamp based
on that time of Book entry, it will have priority behind any other
limit orders to sell at $0.01 that were already resting on the Book. At
that point, even if the series is no-bid because, for

example, the last bid just traded and the limit order trades at $0.01,
the next bid entered after the trade would not be higher than $0.01. If
the order has a Time-in-Force of GTC or GTD that expires on a
subsequent day, the order remains on the Book as a Limit Order until it
executes, expires, or the User cancels it.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ This functionality is consistent with the purpose of a GTC
or GTD that expires on a subsequent trading day, which is to remain
on the Book and available for execution until the User cancels it or
until the time specified by the User. The Exchange notes that market
orders with any other Time-in-Force would no longer be on the Book
if they did not execute during the trading day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    However, if the System receives a sell market order in a no-bid
series with a minimum increment of $0.01 and the NBO is $1.20 (because,
for example, the last bid of $1.00 just traded and a new bid has not
yet populated the disseminated quote), the System will cancel or reject
the order. Cancellation prevents an anomalous execution price, since
the next bid entered in that series is likely to be much higher than
$0.01. It would be unfair to the User to let is market order trade as a
limit order for $0.01 because, for example, the firm submitted the
order during the brief time when there were no disseminated bids in a
series trading significantly higher than the minimum increment.
    The Exchange believes the threshold of $0.50 is reasonable. The
Exchange notes that this threshold the same as the threshold in the
Cboe Options rule,\9\ and is less than the current width for the market
order NBBO width protection, pursuant to which the System will reject
or cancel back to the User a market order submitted to the System when
the NBBO width is greater than 100% of the midpoint of the NBBO,
subject to a $5 minimum and $10 maximum.\10\ Notwithstanding this
provision, the proposed rule change would allow for the potential
execution of sell market orders in no-bid series with offers less than
or equal to $0.50. If the threshold in the proposed rule change was
higher, there would be increased risk of having a market order trade a
minimum increment in a series that is not truly no-bid. The proposed
rule change is substantially the same as Cboe Options Rule 6.13(b)(vi).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Cboe Options Rule 6.13(b)(vi).
    \10\ See Rule 21.17(a); see also Exchange Notice, BZX and EDGX
Options Exchanges Feature Pack 2--Update (December 14, 2017),
available at http://markets.cboe.com/resources/release_notes/2017/Update-2-Cboe-BZX-and-EDGX-Options-Exchanges-Feature-Pack-2.pdf, for
current settings. Pursuant to this protection, if the NBBO for a
series was $0.00-$0.50, the width of the NBBO (0.50) is greater than
100% of the midpoint (0.25); however, pursuant to the minimum, a
market order would be accepted pursuant to this protection because
the width is less than the 5.00 minimum. The proposed rule change
provides additional price protection for market orders in no-bid
series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\11\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \12\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \13\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change
regarding the handling of sell Market Orders in no-bid series assists
with the maintenance of fair and orderly markets and protects investors
and the public interest, because it provides for automated handling of
orders in series that are likely truly no-bid, ultimately resulting in
more efficient executions of these orders. Additionally, the proposed
rule change prevents executions of sell market orders in no-bid series
with higher offers at potentially extreme prices in series that are not
truly no-bid. The Exchange believes this threshold appropriately
reflects the interests of investors, as options in no-bid series with
offers higher than $0.50 are less likely to be worthless than no-bid
series with offers no higher than $0.50, and cancelling the orders will
prevent execution of these orders at unfavorable prices. The Exchange
also believes the $0.50 threshold promotes fair and orderly markets,
because sell market orders in no-bid series with offers of $0.50 or
less are likely to be individuals seeking to close out a worthless
position, for which the proposed automatic handling is appropriate. The
proposed change is also substantially the same as Cboe Options Rule
6.13(b)(vi).
    When Cboe Options migrates to the same technology as that of the
Exchange and other Cboe Affiliated Exchanges, Users of the Exchange and
other Cboe Affiliated Exchanges will have access to similar
functionality on all Cboe Affiliated Exchanges and similar language can
be incorporated into the rules of all Cboe Affiliated Exchanges. As
such, the proposed rule change would foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities and would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule changes will impose any burden on intramarket
competition, because it will apply in the same manner to all sell
market orders submitted in no-offer or no-bid series, respectively.
Additionally, the proposed rule change has no impact on sell market
orders submitted in no-bid series with an offer of more than $0.50,
which orders will continue to be handled in the same manner as they are
today (i.e. they will be cancelled or rejected). The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change will impose any burden on intermarket
competition, as it will provide sell market orders in true no-bid
series with additional execution opportunities (either on the Exchange
or at away markets pursuant to linkage rules) while providing an
additional protection measure for sell market orders in no-bid series
that may not be truly no-bid. The Exchange believes this price
protection will allow Trading Permit Holders to submit sell market
orders with reduced fear of inadvertent exposure to excessive risk,
which will benefit investors through increased liquidity for the
execution of their orders.
    The proposed rule change is substantially the same as Cboe Options
Rule 6.13(b)(vi).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The Exchange notes other options exchanges have similar
rules that convert sell market orders in no-bid series to limit
orders with a price of a minimum increment if the offer in the
series is below a certain threshold (the thresholds differ in those
rules). See, e.g., Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``MIAX'') Rule 519(a)(1); and NASDAQ ISE, LLC (``ISE'') Rule
713(b).

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

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
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \17\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \18\ permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become effective and operative on November 29, 2018.
The Exchange states that waiver of the operative delay will provide
Users with additional flexibility to manage and display their orders
and provide additional control over their executions on the Exchange as
soon as possible. The Exchange further states that waiver of the
operative delay will allow the Exchange to continue to strive towards a
complete technology integration of the Cboe Affiliated Exchanges, with
gradual roll-outs of new functionality to ensure the stability of the
System. The Exchange notes that the proposed rule change is generally
intended to codify and to add certain system functionality to the
Exchange's System in order to provide a consistent technology offering
for the Cboe Affiliated Exchanges. The Exchange further notes that a
consistent technology offering will simplify the technology
implementation changes and maintenance by Trading Permit Holders of the
Exchange that are also participants on Cboe Affiliated Exchanges. The
Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and
designates the proposed rule change as operative on November 29,
2018.\19\

    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \19\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review;
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Detroit, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 47504 et. seq (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act,
hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by Wayne
County Airport Authority. This program was submitted subsequent to a
determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted
under 14 CFR part 150 for Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
were in compliance with applicable requirements, effective March 7,
2006 and was published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2006. The
proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on
or before August 29, 2009.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the start of FAA's review
of the noise compatibility program is March 2, 2009. The public comment
period ends May 1, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ernest Gubry, Detroit Airports
District Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan
48174,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility
program should also be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for Detroit
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport which will be approved or disapproved
on or before August 29, 2009. This notice also announces the
availability of this program for public review and comment.
    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act,
may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets
forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce
existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional
non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, effective on March 2, 2009.
The airport operator has requested that the FAA review this material
and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by
the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a noise
compatibility program under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary
review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to FAR Part
150 requirements for the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but
that further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval
of the program. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum
of 180 days, will be completed on or before August 29, 2009.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, section 150.33. The primary
considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed
measures may reduce the level of aviation safety or create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign commerce, and whether they are
reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-
compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-
compatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program
with specific reference to these factors. All comments relating to
these factors, other than those properly addressed to local land use
authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Copies of the noise exposure maps and the proposed noise compatibility
program are available for examination at the following locations:
    Federal Aviation Administration, Detroit Airports District Office,
11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan 48174.
    Wayne County Airport Authority, Michelle Plawecki, Authority Noise
Manager, Noise Compatibility Office, LC Smith Terminal, Main Floor,
Detroit, MI 48242. Phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Dated: March 2, 2009.

    Issued in Romulus, Michigan.

Manager, Detroit Airports District Office, Great Lakes Region.

Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve
a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Project: The proposed project would consist of:
(1) Proposed 4,200-foot-long, 23-foot-high dam, (2) a proposed
powerhouse containing three generating units having a total installed
capacity of 1200-kilowatts, (2) a proposed 0.25-mile-long, 6.9-kilovolt
transmission line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The project would
