Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200 and
-300 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections of
certain sidestay upper cardan pins of the main landing gear (MLG), and
associated nuts and retainer assemblies, and pin replacement if
necessary. This AD also provides for an optional measurement of the
cardan pin clearance dimensions (gap check) and corrective actions if
necessary, which would terminate the repetitive inspections. This AD
was prompted by a report of a sidestay upper cardan pin of the MLG
migrating out of position. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct
migration of the sidestay upper cardan pin, which could result in
disconnection of the sidestay upper arm from the airplane structure,
and could result in a landing gear collapse and consequent damage to
the airplane and injury to occupants.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 14, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 14,
2014.
    We must receive comments on this AD by June 13, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0066, (correction) dated March 20, 2014
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model
A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An A330 aeroplane equipped with Basic (main landing gear) MLG
was rolling out after landing when it experienced a nose wheel
steering fault (unrelated to the safety subject addressed by this
[EASA] AD), which resulted in the crew stopping the aeroplane on the
taxiway after vacating the runway.
    The subsequent investigation revealed that the right-hand MLG
sidestay upper cardan pin had migrated out of position. The sidestay
upper cardan nut and retainer were found in the landing gear bay
detached from the upper cardan pin. The nut and the retainer were
still bolted together.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to a
complete migration of the sidestay upper cardan pin and a
disconnection of the sidestay upper arm from the aeroplane
structure, possibly resulting in MLG collapse with consequent damage
to the aeroplane and injury to occupants.
    To address this potential condition, Airbus published Alert
Operators Transmission (AOT) A32L003-14, providing inspection
instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
accomplishment of repetitive [detailed inspections for visible
chrome] of the MLG upper cardan pin, nut and retainer [and pin
replacement if necessary. This [EASA] AD also requires
accomplishment of a gap check between wing rear spar fitting lugs
and the bush flanges [and corrective actions if necessary.
Corrective actions include repair or replacement of the cardan pin
assembly].

    You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-
0255.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT)
A32L003-14, dated March 10, 2014, including Appendices 1, 2, and 3 (the
issue date is not specified on the appendices). The actions described
in this service information are intended to correct the unsafe
condition identified in the MCAI.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information (MCAI) European
Aviation Safety Agency Airworthiness Directive 2014-0066, (correction)
dated March 20, 2014, specifies that accomplishment of the gap check
and corrective actions constitute terminating action for the AD. We
consider the replacement of the cardan pin assembly as specified in
paragraph (g)(3) to be terminating action for the repetitive
inspections required by this AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

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

develop on other products of these same type designs.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
migration of the sidestay upper cardan pin and disconnection of the
sidestay upper arm from the airplane structure, could result in a
landing gear collapse and consequent damage to the airplane and injury
to occupants. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2014-0255; Directorate
Identifier 2014-NM-056-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD based on
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Interim Action

    This AD is considered to be interim action. We are currently
considering requiring a measurement of the cardan pin clearance
dimensions (gap check) to determine that no gap exists between wing
rear spar fitting lugs and the associated bush flanges of the left-hand
and right-hand main landing gear (MLG), and applicable corrective
actions, which will constitute terminating action for the repetitive
inspections required by this AD action. However, the planned compliance
time for the measurement would allow enough time to provide notice and
opportunity for prior public comment on the merits of the measurement
and applicable corrective actions.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 83 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD on U.S. operators to be $7,055, or $85 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 4 work-hours and require parts costing $7,530, for a cost of
$7,870 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these actions.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Comments concerning the accuracy of this
burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN:
Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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 the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; 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.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
Gear.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a report of a sidestay upper cardan pin
of the MLG migrating out of position. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct migration of the sidestay upper cardan pin, which
could result in disconnection of the sidestay upper arm from the
airplane structure, and which could result in a landing gear
collapse and consequent damage to the airplane and injury to
occupants.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Repetitive Detailed Inspections

    (1) For airplanes identified in paragraphs (g)(1)(i) and
(g)(1)(ii) of this AD on which the affected MLG has exceeded 8 years
since first overhaul, as of the effective date of this AD, except
those MLG that have had a second overhaul: Within 30 days after the
effective date of this AD, accomplish a detailed inspection for
visible chrome of each affected MLG sidestay upper cardan pin, and
associated nut and retainer assembly, in accordance with the
instructions of Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A32L003-
14, dated March 10, 2014, including Appendices 1, 2, and 3 (the
issue date is not specified on the appendices).
    (i) Airplanes equipped with any MLG sidestay upper cardan pin
subassembly part number (P/N) 201267202 (on 201252 series MLG).
    (ii) Airplanes equipped with any MLG sidestay upper cardan pin
subassembly P/N 201483202 (on 201490 series MLG).
    (2) If, during any inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of
this AD, no pin chrome is visible inboard of the wing rear spar
fitting lug, repeat the detailed inspection for visible chrome
specified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, thereafter at intervals
not to exceed 10 days.
    (3) If, during any inspection required by paragraphs (g)(1) or
(g)(2) of this AD, pin chrome is visible inboard of the wing rear
spar fitting lug, before further flight, replace the affected cardan
pin assembly, in accordance with the instructions of Airbus AOT
A32L003-14, dated March 10, 2014, including Appendices 1, 2, and 3
(the issue date is not specified on the appendices). Replacement of
the affected cardan pin assembly terminates the need for repetitive
inspections required by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD.

    Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD:  MLG sidestay upper cardan
pin subassembly P/N 201267202 (found in Airbus Illustrated Parts

(h) Optional Terminating Action--Gap Check

    Measuring the cardan pin clearance dimensions (gap check) and
doing the applicable corrective action specified in paragraph (h)(1)
or (h)(2) of this AD terminates the repetitive inspections required
by paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD for that sidestay upper
cardan pin, nut, and retainer only. The measurement must be done in
accordance with the instructions of Airbus AOT A32L003-14, dated
March 10, 2014, including Appendices 1, 2, and 3 (the issue date is
not specified on the appendices).
    (1) If the total clearance dimension (gap check result) is equal
to or greater than 1.5 mm, replace the cardan pin assembly, in
accordance with Airbus AOT A32L003-14, dated March 10, 2014,
including Appendices 1, 2, and 3 (the issue date is not specified on
the appendices).
    (2) If the total clearance dimension (gap check) is less than
1.5 mm but greater than 0.6 mm, do the actions specified in
paragraphs (h)(2)(i) and (h)(2)(ii) of this AD.
    (i) Send the information (Appendix 2 proforma, photographs, and
the movement traceability sheet) specified in paragraph 4.2.3,
``Findings'' of Airbus AOT A32L003-14, dated March 10, 2014,

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-58138; File No. SR-CBOE-2007-30]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment
No. 1 Thereto Relating to Amendments to Rule 9.21 (Communications to
Customers)

July 10, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Exchange Act'') \1\, and Rule 19b-4 thereunder \2\, notice is hereby
given that on March 19, 2007, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``CBOE'' or ``Exchange'') 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
substantially prepared by CBOE. CBOE filed Amendment No. 1 to the
proposed rule change on June 9, 2008.\3\ The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as
amended, from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 replaces the original filing in its
entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange is proposing to remove or otherwise amend elements of
CBOE Rule 9.21 (``Communications to Customers'') that incorporate
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'') \4\
because options traded on CBOE consist solely of standardized options
issued by the Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC''), a registered
clearing agency, that are exempt under Rule 238 of the Securities Act
from all provisions of the Securities Act except the antifraud
provisions of Section 17. Additionally, the proposed amendments expand
the types of communications governed by Rule 9.21 to include
independently prepared reprints and other communications between a
member or member organization and a customer. The proposed amendments
also exempt certain options communications from the pre-approval
requirement by a Registered Options Principal (``ROP''). The text of
the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's
Public Reference Room and http://www.cboe.org/legal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CBOE 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. CBOE 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, Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On December 23, 2002, the Commission published final rules that
exempt standardized options, as defined in Rule 9b-1\5\ of the Exchange
Act, that are issued by a registered clearing agency and traded on a
registered national securities exchange or on a registered national
securities association, from all provisions of the Securities Act
(other than the anti-fraud provisions) and the registration
requirements of the Exchange Act.\6\ Because the Securities Act and the
rules thereunder (other than the anti-fraud provisions) are no longer
applicable to such standardized options, CBOE proposes to remove
elements of the Securities Act that are embedded in CBOE Rule 9.21. In
particular, CBOE proposes to remove all references to a ``prospectus''
from Rule 9.21. Prospectuses are no longer required for such
standardized options, and the OCC has, in fact, ceased publication of a
prospectus.\7\ In addition, the proposed amendments will update and
reorganize Rule 9.21. The proposed amendments are similar to amendments
filed with the Commission by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. and the New York Stock Exchange, LLC and, if adopted,
would provide a more uniform approach to communications to customers
regarding standardized options.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 17 CFR 240.9b-1.
    \6\ See ``Exemption for Standardized Options From Provisions of
the Securities Act of 1933 and From the Registration Requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Final Rule,'' Securities Act
Release No. 8171 and Exchange Act Release No. 47082 (Dec. 23, 2002),
68 FR 188 (Jan. 2, 2003).
    \7\ The options disclosure document (``ODD'') prepared in
accordance with Rule 9b-1 under the Exchange Act is not deemed to be
a prospectus. 17 CFR 230.135b. See, e.g., Securities Act Release No.
8049 (Dec. 21, 2001), 67 FR 228 (Jan. 2, 2002).
    \8\ See Exchange Act Release No. 57720 (Apr. 25, 2008) 73 FR
24332 (May 2, 2008) (SR-FINRA-2008-13) and SR-NYSE-2006-50.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

a. Deletion of Certain Provisions
    As noted above, CBOE Rule 9.21 contains a number of references to a
prospectus and other Securities Act requirements. The Exchange proposes
to delete the following from Rule 9.21:
    (1) Rule 9.21(a)(iv), which references the Securities Act
definition of prospectus,
    (2) Rule 9.21(d), which incorporates Securities Act principles in
that it prohibits written material concerning options from being
furnished to any person who has not previously or contemporaneously
received the ODD,
    (3) Rule 9.21(e)(ii), which defines the term ``Educational
Material,'' \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ This paragraph essentially incorporates language of
Securities Act Rule 134a. While this amendment would eliminate the
separate educational material category, as discussed below the
Exchange also proposes to revise the definition of Sales Literature
to include educational material.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) Interpretation and Policy .02A of Rule 9.21, which outlines
what is permitted in an ``Advertisement,'' \10\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ This paragraph essentially incorporates language of
Securities Act Rule 134.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (5) Interpretation and Policy .03 of Rule 9.21, which concerns
educational material.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See note 9, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. Redesignation of Rule 9.21(a) to Proposed Rule 9.21(d) and Related
Amendments
    Rule 9.21(a) currently contains an outline of the ``General Rule''
for options communications. CBOE proposes to redesignate paragraph (a)
as paragraph (d), and to incorporate limitations on the use of options
communications contained in Interpretations and Policies .01 of Rule
9.21 into proposed Rule 9.21(d). In addition, proposed Rule
9.21(d)(iii) would amend Rule 9.21(a)(iii) by

clarifying the types of cautionary statements and caveats that are
prohibited. Also, as previously noted, CBOE proposes to delete Rule
9.21(a)(iv).
c. Proposed Amendments to Rule 9.21(b)
    CBOE proposes to amend Rule 9.21(b) to include the types of
communications proposed to be added to the definition of ``Options
Communications'' in proposed Rule 9.21(a). Proposed Rules 9.21(b)(ii)
and (b)(iii) would also amend the current requirements to obtain
advance approval by a ROP for most options communications by exempting
certain options communications, defined as ``Correspondence'' and
``Institutional Sales Material.'' Specifically, proposed Rule
9.21(b)(ii) would exempt correspondence from the pre-approval
requirement unless the correspondence is distributed to 25 or more
existing retail customers within any 30 calendar-day period and makes
any financial or investment recommendation or otherwise promotes a
product or service of the member. All correspondence would be subject
to general supervision and review requirements.\12\ Proposed Rule
9.21(b)(iii) would exempt institutional sales material from the pre-
approval requirement if the material is distributed to ``qualified
investors'' (as defined in Section 3(a)(54) of the Exchange Act \13\).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See CBOE Rule 9.8. Telephone call between Larry Bresnehan
of CBOE and Haimera Workie, Branch Chief, Office of Chief Counsel,
Division of Trading and Markets, Securities and Exchange Commission,
on July 2, 2008.
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(54).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pre-approval by a ROP would, however, be required with respect to
independently prepared reprints. In addition, Proposed Rule 9.21(b)(iv)
would require that firms retain options communications in accordance
with the recordkeeping requirements of Rule 17a-4 under the Exchange
Act.\14\ Proposed Rule 9.21(b)(iv) would also require that firms retain
other related documents in the form and for the time periods required
for options communications by Rule 17a-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.17a-4. More specifically, Rule 17a-4(b)(4)
requires that a broker-dealer retain ``originals of all
communications received and copies of all communications sent * * *
including all communications which are subject to rules of a self-
regulatory organization of which the member, broker or dealer is a
member regarding communications with the public.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

d. Proposed Amendments to Rule 9.21(c)
    Rule 9.21(c) currently requires members to obtain approval for
every advertisement and all educational material from the Exchange's
Department of Compliance. This requirement applies regardless of
whether the options communications are used before or after the
delivery of a current ODD. CBOE proposes to amend this provision to
require approval by the Exchange only with respect to options
communications used prior to the delivery of a current ODD. The
Exchange pre-approval requirement for options communications used
subsequent to the delivery of the ODD is being eliminated because the
ODD should help alert the customer to the characteristics and risks
associated with trading in options and because Rule 9.21(b) requires
the Registered Options Principal of a member organization to pre-
approve options communications (with certain exceptions for
``Correspondence'' and ``Institutional Sales Material''). Rule 9.21(c)
would also be amended to include the types of communications added to
the definition of ``Options Communications'' in proposed Rule 9.21(a).
e. Redesignation of Rule 9.21(e) to Proposed Rule 9.21(a) and Related
Amendments
    Rule 9.21(e) currently defines terms used in Rule 9.21. CBOE
proposes to redesignate paragraph (e) as paragraph (a). CBOE also
proposes to amend the definition of ``Options Communications'' in
proposed Rule 9.21(a) to expand the types of communications governed by
Rule 9.21 to include independently prepared reprints and other
communications between a member or member organization and a customer.
The Exchange proposes to amend the definitions of ``Advertisement'' and
``Sales Literature;'' and define ``Correspondence,'' ``Institutional
Sales Material,'' ``Public Appearances,'' and ``Independently Prepared
Reprints;'' to clarify the rule. In addition, as previously noted, CBOE
proposes to delete the definition of ``Educational Material.''
f. Proposed Rule 9.21(e)
    Proposed Rule 9.21(e) would set forth (i) standards for options
communications that are not preceded or accompanied by an ODD and (ii)
standards for options communications used prior to delivery of an ODD.
These requirements generally would clarify and restate the requirements
contained in the current Interpretations and Policies .02 of Rule 9.21.
g. Interpretations and Policies
    Proposed Rule 9.21(e)(i)(B) would require options communications to
contain contact information for obtaining a copy of the ODD. Proposed
Interpretation and Policy .01 would include the provisions found in
current Section A of Interpretation and Policy .02 regarding how this
requirement may be satisfied. In addition, as noted above, the
provisions of Interpretation and Policy .01 regarding limitations on
the use of options communications are proposed to be incorporated into
proposed Rule 9.21(d).
    As previously noted, the provisions of Interpretation and Policy
.02 that outline what is permitted in an advertisement are proposed to
be deleted and the provisions relating to standards for options
communications used prior to delivery of the ODD are proposed to be
incorporated into proposed Rule 9.21(e)(ii).
    Interpretation and Policy .03, which concerns educational material,
is proposed to be deleted as noted above.
    Interpretation and Policy .04 sets forth the standards applicable
to Sales Literature. Section A of Interpretation and Policy .04 sets
forth the requirement that Sales Literature shall state that supporting
documentation for any claims, comparisons, recommendations, statistics
or other technical data, will be supplied upon request. The Exchange
proposes to redesignate Section A of Interpretation and Policy .04 as
proposed Rule 9.21(d)(vii).
    Section B of Interpretation and Policy .04 pertains to standards
for Sales Literature that contains projected performance figures.
Section C of Interpretation and Policy .04 pertains to standards for
sales literature that contains historical performance figures. The
Exchange proposes to redesignate Section B of Interpretation and Policy
.04 as proposed Interpretation and Policy .02 and Section C of
Interpretation and Policy .04 as proposed Interpretation and Policy
.03.
    Rule 9.21 currently requires that a copy of the ODD precede or
accompany options related sales literature. The Exchange is proposing
to modify the ODD delivery requirement applicable to sales literature
to provide that an ODD must precede or accompany any communication that
conveys past or projected performance figures involving options or
constitutes a recommendation pertaining to options.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See proposed Rule 9.21(e)(i)(C) and proposed Interpretation
and Policies .02 and .03.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A notice providing the name and address of a person from whom the
ODD

may be obtained would be required in sales literature that does not
contain a recommendation or past or projected performance figures.
Because CBOE is proposing to merge educational material into the sales
literature category,\16\ this amendment would continue to allow
communications that are educational in nature to be disseminated
without being preceded or accompanied by a copy of the ODD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Proposed Rule 9.21(a)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to redesignate Section D of Interpretation
and Policy .04 as proposed Interpretation and Policy .04. The Exchange
proposes to delete Sections E and F of Interpretation and Policy .04.
The Exchange believes Section E is unnecessary because worksheets are
included in the definition of ``Sales Literature.'' The Exchange
believes Section F is no longer necessary because the Exchange is
proposing to clarify the record-keeping requirements applicable to
options communications in proposed Rule 9.21(b)(iv).
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed amendments to Exchange Rule 9.21 would reflect the
exemption from the provisions of the Securities Act (other than the
anti-fraud provisions) for standardized options that are traded on a
registered national securities exchange or on a registered national
securities association and would update and reorganize the rule. The
proposed amendments to Exchange Rule 9.21 are consistent with Section
6(b) of the Exchange Act \17\ in general and would further the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \18\ in particular in that they are
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest by providing the investing
public with options communications rules that are designed to provide
appropriate safeguards and greater clarity by promoting harmonization
between CBOE's and other SROs' options communications rules.

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will
(A) by order approve such proposed rule change, or (B) institute
proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be
disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may include:
    [emsp14]Crop production (NAICS code 111).
    [emsp14]Animal production (NAICS code 112).
    [emsp14]Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
    [emsp14]Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this
action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for the division listed at the end of the
pesticide petition summary of interest.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on
the requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not proposing
any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the
pesticide petitions described in this document contain the data or
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the
pesticide petitions. After considering the public comments, EPA intends
to evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data
may be needed before EPA can make a final determination on these
pesticide petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petitions so that the public has an

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 232

[Release Nos. 33-9364; 34-67978; 39-2486; IC-30227]

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual and related rules to reflect
updates to the EDGAR system. The revisions are being made primarily to
support public dissemination of previously submitted draft registration
statements either under the JOBS Act or the Division of Corporation
Finance's foreign private issuer policy; support PDF as an official
filing format for submission type 40-33 and 40-33/A; support changes in
the beneficiary account and receiver American Bank Association number
and name for fee payments made for filings; and allow a future period
date up to the next business date for Form 8-K. The EDGAR system is
scheduled to be upgraded to support this functionality on October 1,
2012.

DATES: Effective October 15, 2012. The incorporation by reference of
the EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of October 15, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In the Division of Corporation
Finance, for questions on draft registration statements and Form 8-K,
contact Jeffrey Thomas at<PHONE_NUMBER>; in the Division of Investment
Management for questions concerning submission types 40-33 and 40-33/A,
contact Barry Miller at<PHONE_NUMBER>; and in the Office of
Information Technology, contact Rick Heroux at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume I and Volume II. The Filer Manual describes the
technical formatting requirements for the preparation and submission of
electronic filings through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also describes the
requirements for filing using EDGARLink Online and the Online Forms/XML
Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993,
with an effective date of April 26, 1993. Release No. 33-6986 (April
1, 1993) [58 FR 18638]. We implemented the most recent update to the
Filer Manual on August 30, 2012. See Release No. 33-9353 (September
6, 2012) [77 FR 54806].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,'' Version
14 (October 2012) and Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 21 (October 2012). The updated manual will be
incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for
filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system. Filers must comply
with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic
format.\2\ Filers may consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with our
rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents for
electronic submission.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
    \3\ See Release No. 33-9353 (September 6, 2012) [77 FR 54806] in
which we implemented EDGAR Release 12.1. For additional history of
Filer Manual rules, please see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 12.2 on October 1,
2012 and will introduce the following changes: EDGAR will be updated to
support public dissemination of the confidential draft registration
statements, submission types DRS and DRS/A. Issuers that submitted
draft registrations either under the JOBS Act or the Division of
Corporation Finance's foreign private issuer policy will be able to
disseminate their previously submitted draft registration statements. A
new correspondence type, DRSLTR, will be available to submit any
correspondences related to draft registration statements. The options
to disseminate draft registration statements as well as to create
DRSLTR submissions can be accessed by selecting the ``Draft Reg.
Statement'' link on the EDGAR Filing Web site.
    Form ID application will be updated with ``JOBS Act Sec.  106'' or
``Foreign Private Issuer Policy'' options to allow applicants to
indicate that they are submitting an application for EDGAR access to
file draft registration statements. These options will replace the
``Access codes will be used to submit draft registration statement''
check box.
    Submission form types 8-K, 8-K/A, 8-K12B, 8-K12B/A, 8-K12G3, 8-
K12G3/A, 8-K15D5, and 8-K15D5/A will allow a future period date up to
the next business date from the date of submission, if the time of
submission is

between 05:31 p.m. EST and 10:00 p.m. EST.
    EDGAR will be updated to allow filers to submit, on a voluntary
basis, copies of litigation documents pursuant to Section 33 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (submission types 40-33 and 40-33/A) in
Portable Document Format (PDF) as an official filing format. EDGAR will
continue to allow ASCII and HTML as official filing formats for
submission types 40-33 and 40-33/A.
    Starting October 1, 2012, filers initiating FEDWIRE transactions to
make deposits to pay their filing fees will need to use a new US
Treasury beneficiary account number<PHONE_NUMBER>01), as well as a new
American Bank Association (ABA) number and bank name for the receiving
bank (021030004/TREAS NYC). The current bank account number
(152307768324) and receiving bank ABA number and name (081000210/US
BANK) will be invalid from this date forward. Filer may obtain the new
US Treasury account number and ABA number from the notice posted on the
``Information for EDGAR Filers'' web page prior to October 1, 2012 and
by accessing the updated ``Instructions for Wire Transfer (FEDWIRE) and
Check Payment of SEC Filing Fees'' by logging onto the EDGAR Filing Web
site and accessing the ``Fees'' link on the EDGAR menu thereafter.
    The new online version of Form N-SAR, originally planned for
deployment on July 9, 2012, has been delayed and will not go into
production any sooner than January 14th 2013. The specific deployment
date will be announced on the Commission's public Web site's
``Information for EDGAR Filers'' page (http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml). Filers should continue to use the EDGAR Filer Manual,
Volume III: N-SAR Supplement to file their N-SAR submissions. When the
online version of Form N-SAR is deployed, EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume
III: N-SAR Supplement will be retired. Instructions to file the online
version of Form N-SAR addressed in Chapter 9 of EDGAR Filer Manual,
Volume II: EDGAR Filing should then be followed.
    Along with the adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule
301 of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference
into the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
    You may obtain paper copies of the updated Filer Manual at the
following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Room 1543, Washington DC 20549, on
official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We
will post electronic format copies on the Commission's Web site; the
address for the Filer Manual is http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml.
    Since the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule changes relate
solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and
comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA).\4\ It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act \5\ do not apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \5\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is October 15, 2012. In accordance with the APA,\6\ we find
that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 12.2 is scheduled to become available on October 1, 2012. The
Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the
effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.

[Release No. 34-57462; File No. SR-FINRA-2008-006]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Establish a Minimum Quarterly Threshold for
Securities Transaction Credit Under NASD Rule 7001C

March 10, 2008.
    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 February 28, 2008, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA''), 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 substantially by FINRA.
FINRA filed the proposed rule change under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal
effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA is proposing to establish a minimum quarterly threshold for
FINRA members that report transactions to the NASD/NSX Trade Reporting
Facility (the ``NASD/NSX TRF'') \5\ to be eligible to receive the
securities transaction credit under NASD Rule 7001C (Securities
Transaction Credit). In addition, FINRA is proposing a technical change
to clarify an ambiguity relating to the definition of ``Tape B'' in
Rule 7001C. The text of the proposed rule change is available at http:/
/www.finra.org, the principal offices of FINRA, and the Commission's
Public Reference Room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Effective July 30, 2007, FINRA was formed through the
consolidation of NASD and the member regulatory functions of NYSE
Regulation. Accordingly, the NASD/NSX TRF is now doing business as
the FINRA/NSX TRF. FINRA will file a proposed rule change to reflect
the formal name change of each FINRA Trade Reporting Facility in the
Manual.

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

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

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA 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. FINRA 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
Background
    On November 6, 2006, the Commission approved the establishment of
the NASD/NSX TRF,\6\ and on November 27, 2006, the NASD/NSX TRF
commenced operation. The NASD/NSX TRF provides FINRA members with
another mechanism for reporting locked-in transactions in NMS stocks,
as defined in Rule 600(b)(47) of Regulation NMS under the Act,\7\
effected otherwise than on an exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54715 (November 6,
2006), 71 FR 66354 (November 14, 2006) (SR-NASD-2006-108).
    \7\ 17 CFR 242.600(b)(47).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In connection with the establishment of the NASD/NSX TRF, FINRA and
National Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NSX''), entered into a Limited
Liability Company Agreement for NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility LLC
(the ``NASD/NSX TRF LLC Agreement''), a copy of which appears in the
NASD Manual. Under the NASD/NSX TRF LLC Agreement, FINRA, the ``SRO
Member,'' has sole regulatory responsibility for the NASD/NSX TRF. NSX,
the ``Business Member,'' is primarily responsible for the management of
the NASD/NSX TRF's business affairs, including establishing pricing for
use of the NASD/NSX TRF, to the extent those affairs are not
inconsistent with the regulatory and oversight functions of FINRA.
Additionally, the Business Member is obligated to pay the cost of
regulation and is entitled to the profits and losses, if any, derived
from the operation of the NASD/NSX TRF.
    Pursuant to NASD Rule 7001C, FINRA members reporting trades in Tape
A, Tape B and Tape C securities to the NASD/NSX TRF currently receive a
50% pro rata credit on gross market data revenue earned by the NASD/NSX
TRF. ``Gross revenue'' is the revenue received by the NASD/NSX TRF from
the three tape associations after the tape associations deduct
allocated support costs and unincorporated business costs.
Proposed Amendments to Rule 7001C
    FINRA is proposing to establish a minimum quarterly threshold for
FINRA members that report transactions to the NASD/NSX TRF to be
eligible to receive the securities transaction credit under Rule 7001C.
Specifically, FINRA is proposing to adopt new paragraph (b) of Rule
7001C, which provides that no FINRA member shall be eligible to receive
a securities transaction credit under Rule 7001C for any calendar
quarter in which the total transaction credit payable to such member is
less than $250. Thus, pursuant to the proposed rule, a member's
securities transaction credit totaling less than $250 for any given
calendar quarter would be forfeited. NSX, as the Business Member,
believes that establishing this $250 threshold is beneficial because it
eliminates the administrative and clerical burden of having to process
such de minimis payments.
    FINRA also is proposing a technical amendment to clarify an
ambiguity in current Rule 7001C. Rule 7001C refers to ``Amex'' and
``Tape B'' as synonymous, but in fact the Tape B revenue sharing
program is interpreted to include stocks listed on regional exchanges,
such as NYSE Arca, because transactions in such stocks are reported to
Tape B.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ FINRA recently proposed an identical change to NASD Rule
7001B relating to the NASD/Nasdaq TRF. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 57164 (January 17, 2008), 73 FR 4295 (January 24, 2008)
(SR-FINRA-2007-041).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. FINRA will implement the proposed rule change on April
1, 2008.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A of the Act,\9\ in general, and with Section
15A(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, which requires, among other
things, that FINRA rules provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and
other persons using any facility or system that FINRA operates or
controls. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is a reasonable
and equitable credit structure in that it will be applied uniformly to
all FINRA members that report trades to the NASD/NSX TRF.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3.
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    FINRA 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.

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

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

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

    FINRA has designated the proposed rule change as one that: (1) Does
not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest. In addition, as
required under Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\11\ FINRA provided the Commission
with written notice of its intention to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description of the text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to filing the proposal with the
Commission. FINRA believes that the filing is appropriately designated
as ``non-controversial'' because the proposed rule change is identical
to the market data revenue rebate threshold that was recently adopted
by NSX.\12\ Therefore, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \12\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57316 (February 12,
2008), 73 FR 9379 (February 20, 2008) (SR-NSX-2008-01).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,

including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.

intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the

milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this

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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
