SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of a guidance document for industry and FDA staff entitled
``In Vitro Companion Diagnostic Devices.'' This guidance is intended to
assist: (1) Sponsors who are planning to develop a therapeutic product
(either a novel product or an existing product with a new indication)
for which the use of an in vitro companion diagnostic device (or test)
is essential for the therapeutic product's safe and effective use and
(2) sponsors planning to develop an in vitro companion diagnostic
device that is intended to be used with a corresponding therapeutic
product. The guidance defines ``in vitro companion diagnostic device''
(also referred to as ``IVD companion diagnostic device'') and clarifies
that in most circumstances, an IVD companion diagnostic device and its
corresponding therapeutic product should be approved or cleared
contemporaneously by FDA for the use indicated in the therapeutic
product labeling.
    Diagnostic tests have been used for many years to enhance the use
of therapeutic products. Tests are also used during therapeutic product
development to obtain the data FDA uses to make regulatory
determinations. After a therapeutic product is commercially available
for use, health care professionals may use a relevant diagnostic test,
for example, to select the appropriate therapy for a particular patient
or to optimize a dosing regimen. Recently, the development of
therapeutic products for which the use of a diagnostic test is
essential for the products to meet their labeled safety and
effectiveness claims has become more common. For example, such a test
can identify appropriate subpopulations for treatment or identify
populations who should not receive a particular treatment because of an
increased risk of a serious side effect. These new technologies are
making it increasingly possible to individualize, or personalize,
medical therapy by identifying patients who are most likely to respond,
or who are at varying degrees of risk for a particular side effect.
    FDA believes that use of an IVD companion diagnostic device with a
therapeutic product raises important concerns about the safety and
effectiveness of both the device and the therapeutic product. An
erroneous test result could lead to withholding appropriate therapy or
to administering inappropriate therapy. Health care professionals must
be able to rely on information from IVD companion diagnostic devices to
help make critical treatment decisions. FDA oversight of IVD companion
diagnostic devices will help protect patients from treatment risks that
could arise from IVD

companion diagnostic devices that have inadequate performance
characteristics.
    When an appropriate scientific rationale supports such an approach,
FDA encourages the joint development of therapeutic products and
diagnostic devices that are essential for the safe and effective use of
those therapeutic products. To facilitate the development and approval
of therapeutic products that are intended for use with IVD companion
diagnostic devices, as well as the development of the IVD companion
diagnostic devices themselves, FDA is clarifying relevant policies
related to these devices and products.
    In the Federal Register of July 14, 2011 (76 FR 41506), FDA
announced the availability of the draft guidance document. Interested
persons were invited to comment by October 12, 2011 (76 FR 51993).
Thirty two sets of comments were received and reviewed by FDA. The
guidance was updated to address comments where appropriate.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
Agency's current thinking on IVD companion diagnostic devices. It does
not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not
operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used
if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by
downloading an electronic copy from the Internet. A search capability
for all Center for Devices and Radiological Health guidance documents
is available at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm, and a search
capability for all CBER guidance documents is available at http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/default.htm. Guidance documents
are also available at http://www.regulations.gov. Persons unable to
download an electronic copy of ``In Vitro Companion Diagnostic
Devices,'' may send an email request to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to
receive an electronic copy of the document. Please use the document
number 1737 to identify the guidance you are requesting.

[Docket No. FDA-2023-N-0001]

Menopause: Potential Impact on Clinical Pharmacology and
Opportunities for Future Research; Public Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Women's
Health and Office of Clinical Pharmacology is announcing the following
public workshop: ``Menopause: Potential Impact on Clinical Pharmacology
and Opportunities for Future Research.'' The purpose of the public
workshop is to discuss the current understanding of the impact of
menopause on the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and
exposure-response relationships of FDA-regulated drugs and biologics
used by menopausal women for non-menopause-related indications.
Researchers, educators, clinicians, and patients may benefit from
attending this scientific workshop. Presentations will discuss whether
changes in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination,
if any, could be affected by hormonal changes of menopause (independent
of age), or other non-hormonal influences (including age-related renal
and hepatic changes). The discussion is further intended to identify
the research and data gaps regarding the potential impact of menopause
on PK/PD. Speakers will highlight areas with the greatest need for
further research and exploration.

DATES: The public workshop will be held virtually on October 11, 2023,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section for registration date and information.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held virtually using the Zoom
platform. The link for the public workshop will be sent to registrants
upon registration.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Lineberger, Food and Drug
Administration, Office of the Commissioner, Office of Women's Health,
Bldg. 32, Rm. 2333, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20993,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Menopause is often a time of tremendous transition and change for
women. The effects of menopause on the PK and PD of drugs are largely
unknown. Sex hormone changes during menopause may affect the metabolic
pathways of drugs by affecting drug metabolizing enzymes. Hormone
changes may also affect other pathways that play an important role for
drug disposition and excretion. In addition, many women experience
weight gain at menopause. Together, these changes associated with
menopausal transition have the potential to affect the PK of
medications used for indications not related to menopause. Furthermore,
physiologic changes in menopause may result in altered sensitivity to
drug response independent of changes in PK. This public workshop will
provide insight into identifying the research and data gaps regarding
the potential impact of menopause on PK/PD, highlighting areas with the
greatest need for further research and exploration.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    This public workshop will include presentations and session
discussions by experts in the fields of clinical pharmacology,
obstetrics and gynecology, endocrinology, and clinical care. Each
session will include a Q&A session to respond to questions from
attendees.

III. Participating in the Public Workshop

    Registration: To register for the public workshop, please visit the
following website: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/public-meetings-workshops-and-webinars/menopause-potential-impact-clinical-pharmacology-and-opportunities-future-research-10112023. Please provide

[EPA-R09-OAR-2018-0787; FRL-9992-14-Region 9]

Air Plan Approval; California; Antelope Valley Air Quality
Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a revision to the Antelope Valley Air Quality
Management District (AVAQMD) portion of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns emissions of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) from organic liquid loading. We are approving
a local rule that regulates these emission sources under the Clean Air
Act (CAA or the Act).

DATES: This rule will be effective on June 3, 2019.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R09-OAR-2018-0787. All documents in the docket are

I. Proposed Action

    On December 18, 2018 (83 FR 64795), the EPA proposed to approve the
following rule into the California SIP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Local agency                  Rule No.            Rule title            Amended         Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVAQMD..............................             462   Organic Liquid Loading         09/19/17         11/13/17
                                                        \1\.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We proposed to approve this rule because we determined that it
complies with the relevant CAA requirements. We also proposed to find
that the rule satisfied the District's commitment to remedy the Rule
462 deficiency identified in the conditional approval of the District's
reasonably available control technology (RACT) demonstrations for the
1997 8-hr ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the
2008 8-hr ozone NAAQS (RACT SIP) (82 FR 46923). Our proposed action
contains more information on the rule and our evaluation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As explained in our proposal, subsequent to the submittal of
Rule 462, the District made two minor administrative corrections to
the rule text. The EPA is approving the corrected version of the
rule, a copy of which is included in the docket for this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Public Comments and EPA Response

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received no comments.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted. Therefore, as authorized in section
110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving this rule into the
California SIP. The EPA is also converting the partial conditional
approval of the District's RACT SIP with respect to Rule 462 into a
full approval.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes

incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
AVAQMD rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 2, 2019. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and cost)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The VTL Standard for Marine Terminals (29 CFR part 1917) specifies
the following collection of information requirements. The purpose of
each of these requirements is to provide workers with safe work
practices when conducting VTLs.
    Paragraph (i)(8)(iv) of Sec.  1917.71 requires employers to ensure
that the interbox connectors used in VTLs have been certified by a
competent authority authorized under Sec.  1918.11 (for interbox
connectors that are part of a vessel's

gear) or Sec.  1917.50 (for other interbox connectors). Paragraph
(i)(8)(v) requires employers to have a certificate available for
inspection that attests that the interbox connector meets the strength
criteria specified in paragraph (i)(8)(iv) of the standard. Also,
paragraph (i)(8)(vi) requires that each interbox connector be clearly
and durably marked with its safe working load for lifting, including an
identifying number or mark that will enable it to be associated with
its test certificate.
    The certification is necessary to ensure that interbox connector-
corner casting assemblies have adequate strength to safely perform the
lift. Marking of interbox connectors informs employers, workers, and
OSHA that the interbox connectors have been certified.
    Paragraph (j)(2) of Sec.  1917.71 requires the employer to develop,
implement, and maintain a written plan for transporting vertically
connected containers in the terminal. The transport plan helps ensure
the safety of terminal workers and thereby enhances productivity.
Paragraph (k)(2) of Sec.  1917.71 requires the written transport plan
to identify a safe work zone within which workers are not permitted to
be present when a VTL is in motion.
    Written plans give employers, workers, and OSHA compliance officers
assurance that VTLs are safe to use and provide the compliance officers
with an efficient means to assess employer compliance with the
Standard.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions to
protect workers, including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is proposing an adjustment decrease of the existing burden
hour estimate for the collection of information requirement specified
by the Standard from 560 hours to 512 hours--a total decrease of 48
hours. Based on staff expertise with marine terminals, the Agency
reduced the estimated number of marine terminals that use VTLs with
updated establishment data from the North American Classification
Information System (NACIS) retrieved from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics http://www.regulations.gov.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Vertical tandem Lifts (VTLs) for Marine Terminals (29 CFR
part 1917).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0260.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; not-for-profit
organizations; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 128.
    Number of Responses: 128.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: The average time is 4 hours for
employers to generate, develop, and maintain a written plan for
transporting vertically coupled containers in a terminal.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 512.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annual-

chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities
participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in
accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are
used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.

Corrections

    In the Proposed Rule published at 73 FR 55469 in the September 25,
2008, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Henderson County,
Kentucky, and Incorporated Areas'' addressed the following flooding
sources: Canoe Creek, Elam Ditch, Elam Ditch Tributary 1, Elam Ditch
Tributary 2, Elam Ditch Tributary 3, Kimsey Lane Left Tributary, Kimsey
Lane Right Tributary, Middle Canoe Creek, North Fork Canoe Creek,
Sellers Ditch, Tiger Ditch (Formerly Highway 812 Tributary), Tiger
Ditch Tributary 1 and Upper Canoe Creek. That table contained
inaccurate information as to the location of referenced elevation,
effective and modified elevation in feet, and/or communities affected
for those flooding sources: In addition, it did not include the
following flooding sources: Canoe Creek Tributary 1 (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Cash Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Elam
Ditch Tributary 1.1 (backwater effects from Elam Ditch Tributary 1),
Elam Ditch Tributary 4 (backwater effects from Elam Ditch), Elam Ditch
Tributary 8 (backwater effects from Elam Ditch), Grane Creek (backwater
effects from Ohio River), Grane Creek Tributary 1 (backwater effects
from Ohio River), Grane Creek Tributary 5 (backwater effects from Ohio
River), Lick Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Lick Creek
Tributary 2 (backwater effects from Ohio River), Lick Creek Tributary
2.1 (backwater effects from Ohio River), Lick Creek Tributary 4
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Ohio River, Old Knoblick Road
Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Pond Creek (overflow effects
from Ohio River), Pond Creek Tributary 6 (overflow effects from Ohio
River), Race Creek (backwater effects from Ohio River), Sputzman Creek
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Sputzman Creek Tributary 1
(backwater effects from Ohio River), Sputzman Creek Tributary 2
(backwater effects from Ohio River), and Sugar Creek (backwater effects
from Ohio River). In this notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing
the accurate information, to address these prior errors. The
information provided below should be used in lieu of that previously
published.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-77121; File No. SR-Phlx-2016-22]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Regarding Rule 505
and Rule 506

February 11, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on February 5, 2016, NASDAQ PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' 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 prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposal to delete
Rule 505 (Allocation, Reallocation and Transfer of Issues) and update
Rule 506 (Allocation Application).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ References to rules are to Phlx rules unless otherwise
noted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to update its rules to delete Rule 505
(Allocation, Reallocation and Transfer of Issues) and update Rule 506
(Allocation Application).
    Rules 505 and 506 were approved more than three decades ago,\4\ at
which time Exchange options trading was strictly on-floor open outcry
through specialists. Exchange options trading developed into a robust
hybrid system that is currently largely electronic and off-floor \5\
but continues to have on-floor specialists \6\ and open outcry trading.
The Exchange is now consolidating its Rules 505 and 506.\7\ Having
found that some of the concepts in Rule 505 are obsolete and that
others belong in Rule 506, the Exchange is deleting Rule 505.
Simultaneously, the Exchange is updating Rule 506 to make it more
easily readable and to transfer certain concepts from Rule 505 to Rule
506. These changes are described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 37019 (August
17, 1982), 47 FR 37019 (August 24, 1982) (SR-Phlx-81-1) (approval
order).
    \5\ Electronic traders include market makers that are streaming
quote traders (``SQTs''), remote streaming quote traders
(``RSQTs''), and off-floor specialists (``Remote Specialists''). See
Rules 1014(b)(ii)(A), 1014(b)(ii)(B), and 1020.
    \6\ Remote Specialists do not have a physical presence on the
floor of the Exchange. Rule 1020.
    \7\ While the vast majority of options rules are found in Rule
1000 and higher of the Exchange's rule book, some older options-
related rules, such as Rules 505 and 506, are in the Exchange's rule
book below Rule 1000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deletion of Rule 505
    The Exchange has concluded that with the placement of certain
concepts from Rule 505 into Rule 506, Rule 505 is no longer needed. The
Exchange believes that it is desirable to discuss the process of
allocation or reallocation application, allocation, reallocation, and
transfer in one rule, namely Rule 506. Moreover, ``leasing'' is not
practiced on the Exchange and obsolete language in Rule 505 in respect
of leasing is no longer needed.\8\ The Exchange proposes to therefore
delete Rule 505, and to update and clarify Rule 506 to be more
descriptive and to add several concepts from deleted Rule 505.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ ``Leasing'' is the now-obsolete practice or one specialist
leasing, or renting, an allocated issue to another specialist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updating of Rule 506
    First, Rule 506 is updated to make it clear to the reader that the
rule applies to the process of allocation application

as well as allocation, reallocation, and transfer. Specifically, the
title to Rule 506 is expanded to state ``Allocation Application,
Allocation, Reallocation, and Transfer''. This will allow the reader to
more easily understand what Rule 506 is about.
    Second, the Exchange is adding language to indicate that
applications may be regarding reallocation. Section (b) of Rule 506 is
expanded to state that an allocation or reallocation application shall
be submitted to the Exchange's staff in writing. Each allocation or
reallocation application will continue to include, at a minimum, the
name and background of the head specialist and assistant specialist(s)
(except that a Remote Specialist need not include an assistant
specialist), the unit's experience and capitalization demonstrating an
ability to trade the particular options class sought, and any other
reasons why the unit believes it should be assigned or allocated the
security.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The ability of the Exchange to require that the application
include other information is continued. Rule 506(b). The Exchange is
removing from section (b) antiquated language regarding system
acceptance/execution levels and guarantees, as these are not
currently used and are therefore obsolete. The language was used
with allocation and transfers at a time when there was a lack of
uniformity regarding execution levels, as opposed to standardization
now (e.g., 1-up, 10-up). Rule 506(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Third, section (c) of Rule 506 states that allocation decisions and
automatic allocations \10\ shall be communicated in writing to Exchange
members. The Exchange proposes to add into section (c) language to
state that reallocation or transfer decisions, like allocation
decisions and automatic allocations, shall be communicated in writing
to Exchange members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Automatic allocations are discussed in Supplementary
Material .02 to Rule 506. The Exchange proposes to add ``Automatic''
in front of the current title ``Allocation of Options on Related
Securities'' so that the title is more descriptive. The Exchange
also proposes to rename ``Supplementary Material'' to ``Commentary''
to conform with the general naming convention for rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fourth, the Exchange is transferring the ``Registrant'' concept
from deleted Rule 505 to section (d) of Rule 506 indicating in whose
names an options class needs to be registered; and indicating that
Registrant will act as specialist for a period of at least one year
(known as ``minimum specialist period''). Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to add to section (d) the following language:
    Upon allocation, reallocation, or transfer of an options class, the
options class must be registered in either the name of the specialist
unit, or jointly in the name of the unit and the specialist
(``Registrant''). Each Registrant must be an Exchange member and an
approved specialist. The Registrant shall act as specialist for the
options class for at least one year (``minimum specialist period'');
unless some other period is defined by the Exchange pursuant to this
rule. After expiration of the minimum specialist period, the Exchange
may re-allocate the options class.
    In transferring the ``Registrant'' concept from deleted Rule 505,
the Exchange does not state that the options class can be registered
solely in the name of an individual acting as specialist since this is
not the current practice. Rather, the Exchange proposes to state that
the options class must be registered in either the name of the
specialist unit, or jointly in the name of the unit and the specialist.
Commensurate with other changes and the language of Rule 506, the
Exchange is also proposing to state in Rule 506(d) that once the
specialist unit is allocated, reallocated, or transferred an options
class,\11\ such specialist unit will notify the Exchange in writing
regarding any material change in the application for any assigned
options class.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The term ``specialist unit'' is used for uniformity and
readability in section Rule 506(a) and elsewhere in the rule (e.g.,
sections (d), (e), Commentary .01 (renamed from Supplementary
Material .01 to better follow the naming convention)). Similarly,
``issue'' is proposed to be changed to ``options class''.
    \12\ The Exchange proposes to also remove obsolete language
regarding system acceptance/execution levels from Rule 506(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fifth, the Exchange is transferring from Commentary .01 of deleted
Rule 505 to new Commentary.03 of Rule 506 the concept that the Exchange
may establish a period of less than one year for Registrant to act as a
specialist in an options class (known as ``alternate specialist
period''). This allows the Exchange to establish a period of time that
is less than one year, which is shorter than the minimum specialist
period. During the alternate specialist period established by the
Exchange the Registrant must act as specialist in an allocated options
class. If the Exchange decides to establish an alternate specialist
period, it will communicate such period in solicitation applications.
Also, after the alternate or minimum specialist period the Exchange may
re-allocate an options class. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to
state in Commentary .03:
.03 Alternate Specialist Period.
    The Exchange may establish that a Registrant shall act as a
specialist in an allocated options class for a shorter period defined
by the Exchange that is less than one year (``alternate specialist
period''). If the Exchange establishes an alternate specialist period,
it will communicate such period in solicitation applications (notices)
pursuant to Rule 506. After expiration of the alternate specialist
period, the Exchange may re-allocate the options class.
    The Exchange believes that these non-controversial changes to
consolidate Rules 505 and 506 and to update and modernize Rule 506 as
discussed will make remaining Rule 506 clearer and easier to use.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \13\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \14\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors
and the public interest by deleting Rule 505 and updating Rule 506 and
thereby consolidating the rules as discussed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the rule change will promote just and
equitable principles of trade by making the rules clearer and easier to
use. The Exchange is proposing to get rid of an older rule,
specifically Rule 505, and to consolidate certain concepts from Rule
505 into remaining Rule 506. By doing so the Exchange is deleting
obsolete language in Rule 505 regarding options classes that are
subject to a lease, as leasing is not practiced on the Exchange. The
Exchange is clarifying that Rule 506 will deal with allocation,
reallocation, and transfer and that allocation, reallocation, or
transfer decisions and automatic allocations will be communicated in
writing to Exchange members. The Exchange proposes to transfer from
deleted Rule 505 to Rule 506 the Registrant concept indicating that an
options class must be registered in either the name of the specialist
unit, or jointly in the name of the unit and the specialist; and
indicating that Registrant will act as specialist for a one year
minimum specialist period. The Exchange proposes to state in Rule 506
that the Exchange can establish an alternate specialist period that is
shorter than the minimum specialist period, and that such alternate
specialist period will be communicated in solicitation applications.
The Exchange will also update language in Rule 506 for clarity and
readability (e.g., ``specialist unit'' and ``options class'').
    The Exchange believes that the proposed non-controversial change to
consolidate Rules 505 and 506 and to

update and modernize Rule 506 will make Rule 506 clearer and easier to
use to the benefit of market participants.

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

    The Exchange 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, as amended.
While the Exchange does not believe that the proposed non-controversial
change is a burden on competition, or is competitive in nature, the
Exchange believes that clearer, updated rules are always beneficial to
market participants.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \15\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder \16\ in
that it effects a change that: (i) Does not significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, does not
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR Sec.  240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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 the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
