    k. Project Description: The project includes the following existing
facilities: (1) a 902.6-foot-long, 32.5-foot-high dam that includes:
(a) a 300-foot-long west earthen embankment with a crest elevation of
1495.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29); (b) a
27.6-foot-long concrete section that includes a 6-foot-wide, 6-foot-
high sluice gate with a trashrack with 2.625-inch clear bar spacing,
and a 16-foot-wide, 12-foot-high Tainter gate; and (c) a 575-foot-long
east earthen embankment with a crest elevation of 1495.0 feet NGVD 29;
(2) an impoundment with a surface area of 3,454 acres at an elevation
of 1,490 feet NGVD 29 and usable storage capacity of 32,713 acre-feet
between surface elevations of 1,475 feet and 1,490 feet NGVD 29; (3) a
35-foot-long concrete conduit downstream of the sluice gate; (4) an
approximately 60-foot-long concrete apron downstream of the dam; (5) a
27.5-foot-wide, 11.8-foot-long brick gatehouse integral to the concrete
section of the dam; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project does
not contain any generating facilities.
    The project includes the following existing recreation facilities:
(1) a canoe take-out site on the shoreline of the impoundment, at the
east earthen embankment; (2) an approximately 100-foot-long canoe
portage route; and (3) a canoe put-in site located on the east shore of
the West Fork of the Montreal River, immediately downstream of the
project dam.
    An August 19, 2020 order, issued in FERC Docket No. UL20-1-000,
found that the project is required to be licensed because it is part of
a complete unit of development that includes the Saxon Falls
Hydroelectric Project No. 2610 (Saxon Project) and the Superior Falls
Hydroelectric Project No. 2587 (Superior Project).\1\ NSP currently
operates the project to augment flow in the West Fork of the Montreal
River during the summer and winter low-flow periods for hydroelectric
generation at the downstream Saxon and Superior Projects. NSP maintains
the impoundment levels between 1,475 feet and 1,490 feet NGVD 29. To
protect aquatic resources, NSP releases a continuous minimum flow of 10
cubic feet per second or inflow, whichever is less, downstream of the
project dam. NSP provides the minimum flow through the sluice gate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Northern States Power Company--Wisconsin, 172 FERC ]
62,093 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To augment flows available for generation at the Saxon Falls
Project and Superior Falls Project, NSP typically begins drawing down
the impoundment in the summer and winter, respectively around May 1 and
December 1. The project has a maximum drawdown of 15 feet, but the
average summer and winter drawdowns are typically 5.2 feet and 6.8
feet, respectively. The impoundment remains at the lower level until
seasonal inflow refills the impoundment in the fall and spring. To
protect aquatic and recreation resources, under normal project
operation, NSP limits the rate of the impoundment drawdowns to 0.2 feet
per day.
    NSP is not proposing any new facilities or operational changes that
would alter the current project operation. The proposed project
boundary encompasses approximately 3,457.5 acres, including: (1) the
impoundment; (2) 2.1 acres of land associated with the project
facilities listed above; (3) 0.2 acre of water associated with the West
Fork of the Montreal River immediately downstream of the project dam;
(4) 0.3 acre of land north of the west earthen embankment; and (5) 0.9
acre of land north of the east earthen embankment.
    l. In addition to publishing the full text of this notice in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this notice, as well
as other documents in the proceeding (e.g., license application) via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would expand the availability of RNAV in Alaska and
improve the efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace
System (NAS) by lessoning the dependency on ground based navigation.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2022-0428; Airspace Docket No. 21-AAL-20) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2022-0428; Airspace Docket No. 21-AAL-20.'' The

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    In 2003, Congress enacted the Vision 100--Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 108-176), which established a joint
planning and development office in the FAA to manage the work related
to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Today,
NextGen is an ongoing FAA-led modernization of the nation's air
transportation system to make flying safer, more efficient, and more
predictable.
    In support of NextGen, this proposal is part of a larger and
comprehensive T-route modernization project in the state of Alaska. The
project's mission statement is ``to modernize Alaska's Air Traffic
Service route structure using satellite based navigation. Development
of new T-routes and optimization of existing T-routes will enhance
safety, increase efficiency and access, and will provide enroute
continuity that is not subject to the restrictions associated with
ground based airway navigation.'' As part of this project, the FAA
evaluated the existing Colored airway structure for: (a) Direct
replacement (i.e., overlay) with a T-route that offers a similar or
lower Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA) or Global Navigation Satellite
System Minimum Enroute Altitude (GNSS MEA); (b) the replacement of the
Colored airway with a T-route in an optimized but similar geographic
area, while retaining similar

or lower MEA; or (c) removal with no route structure (T-route) restored
in that area because the value was determined to be insignificant. In
support of this project, the FAA is proposing to amend RNAV route T-
271, to improve the RNAV network in Alaska by planning for the future
connectivity with future RNAV T-routes.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV
route T-271 in the vicinity of Iliamna, AK in support of a large and
comprehensive T-route modernization project in the state of Alaska. The
proposed RNAV T-route amendment is described below.
    T-271: T-271 extends between the Cold Bay, AK, (CDB) VHF
Omnidirectional Radar and Tactical Air Navigational System (VORTAC) and
the AMOTT, AK, waypoint (WP). The FAA proposes to update the GPS
coordinates for the Cold Bay, AK, (CBD) VORTAC, the King Salmon, AK,
(AKN) VORTAC; and, the AMOTT, AK, WP because of more precise
improvements in technology. The FAA also proposes to remove the BINAL,
AK, Fix from the legal description due to it having less than a 1
degree turn and is not required. Although, the BINAL Fix would be
removed, it will remain as a Fix to the airway. Finally, the FAA
proposes to insert the ZINAM, AK, WP. The rest of the route would
remain unchanged.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 2021 and effective
September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV route listed in this document would be published subsequently
in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-94883; File No. SR-CboeEDGX-2022-004]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Order
Instituting Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a
Proposed Rule Change To Codify Certain Practices and Requirements
Related to the Exchange's Port Message Rate Thresholds

May 10, 2022.

I. Introduction

    On January 21, 2022, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
codify certain practices and requirements related to the Exchange's
port message rate thresholds. The proposed rule change was published
for comment in the Federal Register on February 9, 2022.\3\ On March
23, 2022, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the Commission
designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule
change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings
to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.\5\ The
Commission has received no comment letters on the proposed rule change.
This order institutes proceedings pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of
the Act \6\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed
rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94144 (February 3,
2022), 87 FR 7519 (``Notice'').
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94496, 87 FR 18410
(March 30, 2022). The Commission designated May 10, 2022 as the date
by which the Commission shall approve or disapprove, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule
change.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange states that its System \7\ does not have unlimited
port capacity to consistently support an unlimited number of messages
throughout the trading day.\8\ The Exchange states that for this
reason, the Exchange limits each Member \9\ to a maximum number of
messages over a set amount of time, per port (``Port Order Rate
Threshold'').\10\ The Exchange states that historically, it has
provided Members with the Port Order Rate Threshold through its
publicly available technical specifications.\11\ The Exchange's current
Port Order Rate Threshold is 10,000 messages per second.\12\ The
Exchange further states that while Members may elect to establish a
lower Port Order Rate Threshold, each Member is subject to the same
maximum Port Order Rate Threshold.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ ``System'' means the electronic communications and trading
facility designated by the Board through which securities orders of
Users are consolidated for ranking, execution and, when applicable,
routing away. See Exchange Rule 1.5(cc).
    \8\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 7519.
    \9\ ``Member'' means a registered broker or dealer that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange. A Member will have the
status of a ``member'' of the Exchange as that term is defined in
Section 3(a)(3) of the Act. Membership may be granted to a sole
proprietor, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or
other organization which is a registered broker or dealer pursuant
to Section 15 of the Act, and which has been approved by the
Exchange. See Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
    \10\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 7519.
    \11\ See id. See also Cboe FIX Specifications at p. 72,
available at: https://cdn.cboe.com/resources/membership/Cboe_US_Equities_FIX_Specification.pdf; and Cboe BOE Specifications,
available at: https://cdn.cboe.com/resources/membership/Cboe_US_Equities_BOE_Specification.pdf.
    \12\ See id. According to the Exchange, when the first non-
administrative message is received, a one second window begins.
During the second no more than 9,999 additional non-administrative
messages will be allowed within that one second window. If the rate
is exceeded, all new orders in the time window are rejected,
modifies are treated as cancels, and cancels are processed. See
Notice, supra note 3, at 7519 n. 6.
    \13\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 7519.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to establish Rule 11.23, entitled Port
Order Rate Threshold, to state that all Members shall be subject to a
Port Order Rate Threshold, as determined by the Exchange in its
discretion. In support of its proposal, the Exchange cites to rules
that historically existed in the Cboe Options Exchange (``C1'') and the
Cboe C2 Options Exchange (``C2'') rulebooks.\14\ The Exchange further
states that proposed Rule 11.23 is based on MIAX and MIAX Emerald Rule
502.\15\ The Exchange states that the proposed amendment will promote
transparency and maintain clarity in its rules and help preserve its
operational resiliency.\16\

III. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove SR-
CboeEDGX-2022-004 and Grounds for Disapproval Under Consideration

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \17\ to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or disapproved. Institution of proceedings is
appropriate at this time in view of the legal and policy issues raised
by the proposal. Institution of proceedings does not indicate that the
Commission has reached any conclusions with respect to any of the
issues involved. Rather, as described below, the Commission seeks and
encourages interested persons to provide comments on the proposed rule
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act,\18\ the Commission is
providing notice of the grounds for disapproval under consideration. As
described above, the Exchange's proposed rule states that each Member
shall be subject to a maximum Port Order Rate Threshold, as determined
by the Exchange. As proposed, the rule provides the Exchange with
discretion to set the maximum Port Order Rate Threshold and does not
include a set maximum or range within which the maximum threshold would
be set. Further, although the Exchange describes how the current
maximum Port Order Rate Threshold is applied to new non-administrative
messages received once the threshold is reached,\19\ the Exchange does
not specify its application under the proposed rule change. The
Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for additional analysis
of the proposal's consistency with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which
requires that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed,
among other things, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
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.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ Id.
    \19\ See supra note 12.
    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the Commission's Rules of Practice, the ``burden to
demonstrate that a proposed rule change is consistent with the Exchange
Act and

the rules and regulations issued thereunder . . . is on the [SRO] that
proposed the rule change.'' \21\ The description of a proposed rule
change, its purpose and operation, its effect, and a legal analysis of
its consistency with applicable requirements must all be sufficiently
detailed and specific to support an affirmative Commission finding,\22\
and any failure of an SRO to provide this information may result in the
Commission not having a sufficient basis to make an affirmative finding
that a proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the
applicable rules and regulations.\23\

    The Commission is instituting proceedings to allow for additional
consideration and comment on the issues raised herein, including as to
whether the proposal is consistent with the Act.

IV. Procedure: Request for Written Comments

    The Commission requests that interested persons provide written
submissions of their data, views, and arguments with respect to the
issues identified above, as well as any other concerns they may have
with the proposal. In particular, the Commission invites the written
views of interested persons concerning whether the proposed rule change
is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) or any other provision of the Act,
or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although there do not appear
to be any issues relevant to approval or disapproval that would be
facilitated by an oral presentation of data, views, and arguments, the
Commission will consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4 under the Act,\24\ any
request for an opportunity to make an oral presentation.\25\

    \25\ Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the Securities
Acts Amendments of 1975, Public Law 94-29 (June 4, 1975), grants to
the Commission flexibility to determine what type of proceeding--
either oral or notice and opportunity for written comments--is
appropriate for consideration of a particular proposal by a self-
regulatory organization. See Securities Acts Amendments of 1975,
Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75,
94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 (1975).

arguments regarding whether the proposed rule change should be approved
