DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2016-0111]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a
document dated November 14, 2016, The Belt Railway Company of Chicago
(BRC) has petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a
waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad
safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 236. FRA assigned the
petition docket number FRA-2016-0111.
    BRC seeks relief from certain requirements of part 236;
specifically sections 236.377 Approach Locking, 236.378 Time Locking,
236.379 Route Locking, 236.380 Indication Locking, and 236.381 Traffic
Locking, on vital microprocessor-based systems. BRC proposes to verify
and test signal locking systems controlled by microprocessor-based
equipment by use of alternative procedures every 4 years after initial
baseline testing or program change as follows:
     Verifying the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)/Check Sum/
Universal Control Number (UNC) of the existing location's specific
application logic to the previously tested version.
     Testing the appropriate interconnection to the associated
signaling hardware equipment outside of the processor (switch
indication, track indication, searchlight signal indication, approach
locking (if external)) to verify correct and intended inputs to and
outputs from the processor are maintained.
     Analyze and compare the results of the 4-year alternative
testing with the results of the baseline testing performed at the
location and submit the results to the FRA.
    Many of BRC's Interlockings, control points, and other locations
are controlled by solid-state, vital microprocessor-based systems.
These systems use programmed logic equations in lieu of relays or other
mechanical components for control of both vital and non-vital
functions. The logic does not change once a microprocessor-based system
has been tested and locking tests are documented on installation.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the Department of Transportation's
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is open from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Docket Operations Facility, US Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC
20590.
     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by February 2, 2017 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document,
if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records
notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at www.dot.gov/privacy.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP19-111-000 Corporation]

CenterPoint Energy Resources; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on March 19, 2019, CenterPoint Energy Resources
Corporation (CERC), 401 West Capitol Avenue, Suite 102, Little Rock, AR
77201, filed in Docket No. CP19-111-000 an application pursuant to
section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting a service area
determination so that it may expand or enlarge its facilities, without
further authorization from the Commission. CERC requests a service area
determination with respect to CERC's activities as a local distribution
company (LDC) in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. CERC
also requests: (i) A finding that CERC qualifies as an LDC for the
purposes of section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA);
(ii) a waiver of the Commission's accounting and reporting requirements
and other regulatory requirements ordinarily applicable to natural gas
companies under the NGA and the NGPA; and (iii) such further relief as
the Commission may deem appropriate, all as more fully described in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
    The filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website web at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at
[email protected] or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,
(202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Debra
Ann Palmer, Reed Smith LLP, 1301 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20005, by
telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email [email protected]; or
Stephanie Hammons, Associate General Counsel, CenterPoint Energy, 401
West Capitol Avenue, Suite 102, Little Rock, AR 77201, by telephone at
(501) 377-4612, or by email [email protected].
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA
(18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the
service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding
with the Commission and must provide a copy to the applicant and to
every other party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court
review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71346; File No. SR-BOX-2014-04]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Add
Rule 7290 (Price Protection for Limit Orders)

January 17, 2014.
    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 January 6, 2014, BOX Options Exchange LLC (``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to add Rule 7290 (Price Protection for Limit
Orders) to codify an existing price protection feature. The text of the
proposed rule change is available from the principal office of the
Exchange, on the Exchange's Web site at http://boxexchange.com, at the
Commission's Public Reference Room, and on the Commission's Web site at
http://sec.gov.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 self-regulatory organization
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
    The Exchange is proposing to add BOX Rule 7290 (Price Protection
for Limit Orders) to codify and clarify a price protection feature
already available on the Exchange. Specifically, the Exchange currently
has a price check feature in place that prevents incoming limit orders
\3\ and limit order modifications from automatically executing at
potentially erroneous prices. The Exchange believes this feature helps
maintain a fair and orderly market by mitigating the risks associated
with erroneously priced limit orders that have the potential to cause
price dislocation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See BOX Rule 7110(c)(1). Limit Orders entered into the BOX
Book are executed at the price stated or better.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed Rule 7290 will codify the price protection feature in the
BOX Rulebook and provide clarity on its functionality. As set forth in
proposed Rule 7290, the Exchange employs a filter on all incoming limit
orders and limit order modifications, pursuant to which the Trading
Host will cancel these orders if priced outside an acceptable price
parameter set by the Exchange. Specifically, as the Exchange receives
limit orders and limit order

modifications, the Trading Host compares the price of each order
against the contra-side NBBO at the time of order entry to determine if
the price is outside the acceptable price parameter.\4\ If the order is
priced outside of the acceptable price parameter, it will be rejected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The price parameter is set by the Exchange and is a
percentage of the NBBO on the opposite side of the incoming order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unless determined otherwise by the Exchange and announced to the
Participants via Informational Circular, the price parameters will be
set at the price 100% greater than the NBO (for incoming buy orders),
and 100% less than the NBB (for incoming sell orders), when the NBB/NBO
is priced at or below $0.25; and the price parameters will be set at
the price 50% greater than the NBO (for incoming buy orders), and 50%
less than the NBB (for incoming sell orders), when the NBB/NBO is
priced above $0.25. The Exchange will reject all incoming buy (sell)
orders that are priced above (below) those parameters. For example, if
the NBO is $1.20, a buy order priced at or above $1.80 ($1.20 * 1.50)
will be rejected. Likewise, if the NBB is $1.10, a sell order priced at
or below $0.55 ($1.10 * 0.50) will be rejected. If the NBO is $0.10, a
buy order priced at or above $0.20 ($0.10*2.00) will be rejected.
However, if the NBB is less than or equal to $0.25, the default limits
set above will result in all incoming sell orders being accepted
regardless of their limit.
    The price protection feature will be operational each trading day
after the opening until the close of trading, and will apply only to
incoming limit orders and limit order modifications.\5\ The Exchange
further notes that this feature will be available to all Participants;
however, it will be disabled until the Participant enables it by
contacting the BOX Market Operations Center (``MOC'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Pursuant to Rule 7110(g) orders can be modified once they
are held in the BOX Book. If the price of a limit order on the BOX
Book is modified by a Participant, the updated price will be checked
against the contra-side NBBO to determine whether the order's new
price is outside the acceptable price range. If the modified order
price is outside the price range the order will be rejected,
regardless of whether the original price of the limit order was
within the price range.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes this feature will prevent the entry of limit
orders that are priced so significantly beyond the prevailing market
price that the execution of such orders could cause substantial price
dislocation in the market. The Exchange also believes that this feature
will further serve to mitigate the occurrence of erroneous executions.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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. In particular, the Exchange believes
that rejecting incoming limit orders which are priced a significant
percentage away from the NBB or NBO assures that executions will not
occur at erroneous prices, thereby promoting a fair and orderly market.
Additionally, the Exchange believes that the proposed feature is
reasonable as it will protect Participants by mitigating the risk of
having orders executed at erroneous prices. Furthermore, Participants
may choose whether or not to subscribe to this feature.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes the
proposal will provide market participants with additional protection
against erroneous executions. The Exchange does not believe the
proposed rule change imposes any burden on intramarket competition as
the feature is available to all Participants. The Exchange also notes
that it is not mandatory for Participants to use this feature and it is
only enabled when requested by the Participant. Thus, the Exchange does
not believe the proposal creates any significant impact on competition.

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\ 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 prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's 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. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
