14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31474; Amdt. No. 4049]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective March 9, 2023. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of March 9, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20.
The applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B,
when required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff

Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for Part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this 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 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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Experimental Study on Comparing Data Obtained From Landline Telephone
and Cell Phone Surveys--(OMB Control Number 0910-NEW)

I. Background

    Since the early 1980s, the Center for Food Safety and Applied
Nutrition at FDA has been commissioning several waves of two national
consumer surveys, the Food Safety Survey (FSS) and the Health and Diet
Survey (HDS), to gather data on consumer knowledge, perceptions, and
behaviors regarding food safety and nutrition. The purposes of the
surveys are threefold: (1) To generate nationally representative
estimates of knowledge, perceptions, and practices of interest at a
given point in time; (2) to track trends of the estimates over time;
and (3) to understand the relationships among knowledge, perceptions,
and practices regarding food safety and nutrition, and how these relate
to demographic characteristics.
    Traditionally, all waves of the surveys have been administered via
landline telephones and have used the random digit dialing (RDD)
technique to recruit national samples of adults (18 years old or above)
from households with landline telephone numbers. A noticeable
phenomenon that has appeared in our recent surveys is a precipitous
decline of younger respondents in completed interviews. For example,
the proportion of respondents in the 18 to 29 age group for the FSS has
dropped from 17 percent in 2001, to 11 percent in 2006, to only 4
percent in 2010; the corresponding proportion for the HDS has gone from
14 percent in 2002, to 15 percent in 2004, to only 6 percent in 2008.
    One possible reason for the decline is the rapid adoption of cell
phones in recent years. During the second half of 2010, 28 percent of
American adults lived in households with only wireless service
(``wireless-only households'' or ``cell-phone only households''),
compared to 15 percent in the second half of 2007 and 5 percent in the
second half of 2004 (Ref. 1). During the second half of 2010, 17
percent of adults lived

in households that received all or almost all calls on cell phones
despite having a landline phone (``wireless-mostly households'' or
``cell-phone mostly households''), an increase of 3 percentage points
from the first half of 2008 (Ref. 1). Thus, the number of adults
reachable by landline phone calls has decreased in recent years. The
rate of cell phone adoption, however, has been uneven among adults with
different demographic characteristics. In 2010, adults living in
wireless-only households were more likely to be 18 to 34 year olds,
living in poorer households, without a college or higher educational
degree, or Hispanics or Latinos (Ref. 1). Meanwhile, adults who live in
landline households differ from those who live in wireless-only
households as well those in wireless-mostly households (Ref. 2), and
the demographic characteristics of adults living in wireless-mostly
households are much less diverse than that of adults living in
wireless-only households (Ref. 1).
    The underrepresentation of wireless-only or wireless-mostly adults,
especially those in younger age groups, in landline surveys can affect
national estimates of the prevalence of certain consumer perceptions,
knowledge or behaviors, and understanding of the relationships between
certain survey responses and demographic characteristics. For example,
previous research found different prevalence rates of drinking and
smoking between respondents reached on a landline call versus
respondents from wireless-only households (Ref. 1). Wireless-mostly
adults were less likely than landline adults to say their health is
fair or poor and were less likely to be a current smoker than wireless-
only adults (Ref. 2). Voigt et al. (Ref. 3) reported that cell phone
users were less likely to have fathered or given birth to a child than
their landline telephone counterparts. The differences observed in
these studies are pertinent and potentially problematic for the HDS and
FSS because past surveys have shown that age variations were associated
with, among other things, consumers' knowledge of dietary fats, and
awareness and concern about pesticide and antibiotic residues (Refs. 4
and 5).
    Thus, our recent surveys may have become vulnerable to a
noncoverage problem due to the fact that many eligible respondents are
not included in the survey samples because they do not own landline
phones or because they receive calls only or mostly on cell phones.
Adults living in wireless-only and wireless-mostly households are less
likely to appear in landline telephone samples and often possess
characteristics that differ from those of adults in landline
households. Thus, a telephone survey that still relies exclusively on
landline phone calls to interview respondents may not produce results
that are reliable and valid (Refs. 2 and 6), may not yield results that
are comparable to results from past landline surveys when this
noncoverage problem was absent, or both.
    One common approach to addressing potential impacts of cell phone
use on landline telephone survey results is to supplement a landline
telephone survey with a cell phone survey to achieve a wider coverage
of population in the sample of respondents. Existing evidence on the
usefulness of this approach varies between national estimates and
population subgroup estimates. Many studies conducted around the mid-
2000s (for example, Ref. 7), when the use of cell phones was not as
common as today, and a 2007 study (Ref. 2) suggested that general
population estimates of certain social and political attitudes, voting
behavior, and media use and attitudes did not always vary when a
landline survey was supplemented or was not supplemented with a cell-
phone only survey, especially when the response to a landline survey
was weighted to reflect population characteristics. On the other hand,
this research also suggested that among young adults and low-income
adults, estimates of certain health-related behaviors, such as smoking
and binge drinking, differ between those living in households with and
without landlines (Ref. 8). In addition, young adults who had a
landline phone were less likely to report drinking alcohol or to agree
that marijuana smoking is acceptable (Ref. 9). We are, however, not
aware of any research that has examined whether food safety or
nutrition related perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors differ when
landline telephone surveys miss respondents who are not reachable by
landline telephone calls.
    Therefore, we are concerned that the diminishing survey
participation among consumers who are not easily reached by landline
telephones may lead to unreliable or biased estimates of critical
information and the relationships among knowledge, perceptions, and
other food safety and nutrition-related variables. These concerns
warrant a systematic examination of the impacts of cell phone use on
the quality of the FSS and HDS data.
    The objective of this data collection is to provide data for an
experimental study that compares demographic distributions in and
responses to selected FSS and HDS questions by samples of respondents
drawn from an overlapping dual frame (Ref. 6), i.e., two overlapping
sampling frames: (1) A list-assisted landline telephone frame and (2) a
cell-phone frame. Using this approach, we will not screen out any
households or individuals because of their type(s) of telephone service
(landline or cell phone). The study plans to interview 2,000
respondents in English, half of them (1,000) using a 10-minute HDS
questionnaire and half of them (1,000) using a 10-minute FSS
questionnaire. Each respondent will be randomly assigned to one of the
questionnaires. The target distributions within each of the HDS and FSS
samples are:
     700 respondents who are drawn from the landline frame and
complete the questionnaire on a landline telephone;
     150 respondents who are drawn from the cell phone frame
and complete the questionnaire on a cell phone, regardless whether they
are wireless-only or wireless-mostly; and
     150 respondents who are drawn from the cell phone frame,
complete the questionnaire on a cell phone, and do not have a landline
phone to receive personal calls.
    The HDS questionnaire will focus on knowledge of dietary fats, use
of food labels, awareness of diet-health relationships, and use and
understanding of dietary supplements. The FSS questionnaire will focus
on perceptions of general food safety risks, food handling practices,
perceived personal vulnerability to food safety risks, consumption of
risky foods, and awareness of mercury and fish. All questions have been
asked in previous surveys.
    The Agency will use the study to assess the impacts of cell phone
use on population estimates of nutrition and food safety related
perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. The assessment will help the
Agency determine whether and how future administrations of the FSS and
HDS should be adjusted to produce reliable, valid, and historically
comparable results in response to the growing prevalence of cell phone
use.
    In the Federal Register of December 7, 2011 (76 FR 76422), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. The Agency received two comments in response
to the notice. Both responses dealt with topics outside the scope of

Applicants' Representations

    1. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is
registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust is currently composed of one series (a ``Fund'').\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants also request relief with respect to all existing
or future series of the Trust and any other existing or future
registered open-end management investment company or series thereof
that (a) is advised by the Adviser or an entity controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser or its
successors (each such entity included in the term ``Adviser''); (b)
uses the multi-manager structure described in the application; and
(c) complies with the terms and conditions of the application
(included in the term ``Funds''). Every existing entity that
currently intends to rely on the requested order is named as an
applicant. For purposes of the requested order, ``successor'' is
limited to an entity or entities that result from a reorganization
into another jurisdiction or a change in the type of business
organization. If the name of any Fund contains the name of a Sub-
Adviser (as defined below), the name of the Adviser, or a trademark
or trade name that is owned by the Adviser, will precede the name of
the Sub-Adviser.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. The Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered
as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the
``Advisers Act''). The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the
Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the
``Advisory Agreement''). The Advisory Agreement was approved by the
Trust's board of trustees (the ``Board''),\2\ including a majority of
the trustees who are not ``interested persons,'' as defined in section
2(a)(19) of the Act (the ``Independent Trustees''), and by the initial
shareholder of the Fund in the manner required by sections 15(a) and
15(c) of the Act and rule 18f-2 thereunder. Applicants are not seeking
any exemptions from the provisions of the Act with respect to the
Advisory Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The term ``Board'' also includes the board of trustees or
directors of a future Trust and future Fund, if different.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, subject
to the oversight of the Board, manages the investment operations and
determines the composition of the portfolio of the Fund, including the
purchase, retention, and disposition of the securities and other
instruments held by the Fund, and the portion, if any, of the assets of
the Fund to be held uninvested, in accordance with the Fund's current
investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. For the services
that it provides to the Fund, the Adviser receives a fee from the Fund
as specified in the Advisory Agreement computed as a percentage of the
Fund's average daily net assets. The Advisory Agreement also authorizes
the Adviser to retain one or more Sub-Advisers, subject to the approval
of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, and the
shareholders of the Fund (if required by applicable law), for the
performance of any of the services for which the Adviser is responsible
under the Advisory Agreement. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory
agreements (``Sub-Advisory Agreements'') with various Sub-Advisers to
provide investment advisory services to the Fund.\3\ Each Sub-Adviser
is, and each future Sub-Adviser will be, an ``investment adviser,'' as
defined in section 2(a)(20)(B) of the Act, and is registered, or will
register, as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act, or not
subject to such registration. The Adviser will evaluate, select and
recommend Sub-Advisers to the Board, monitor and evaluate each Sub-
Adviser's investment program and results, and review each Fund's
compliance with its investment objective, policies and restrictions.
The Adviser also will recommend to the Board whether Sub-Advisory
Agreements should be renewed, modified or terminated. The Adviser
compensates each Sub-Adviser out of the fee paid by a Fund to the
Adviser under the Advisory Agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ All existing Sub-Advisory Agreements comply with sections
15(a) and (c) of the Act and rule 18f-2 thereunder. Currently, the
Adviser has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with the following
Sub-Advisers: AQR Capital Management, LLC, Dimensional Fund Advisors
LP, and Parametric Risk Advisors LLC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. Applicants request an order to permit the Adviser, subject to
Board approval, to engage Sub-Advisers to manage all or a portion of
the assets of a Fund pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement and
materially amend Sub-Advisory Agreements without obtaining shareholder
approval. The requested relief will not extend to any sub-adviser that
is an ``affiliated person,'' as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act,
of a Fund or the Adviser, other than by reason of serving as sub-
adviser to a Fund (``Affiliated Sub-Adviser'').
    5. Applicants also request an order exempting each Fund from
certain disclosure provisions described below that may require the
Funds to disclose fees paid by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser.
Applicants seek an order to permit each Fund to disclose (as a dollar
amount and a percentage of a Fund's net assets) only: (a) The aggregate
fees paid to the Adviser and any Affiliated Sub-Adviser; and (b) the
aggregate fees paid to Sub-Advisers other than Affiliated Sub-Advisers
(collectively, the ``Aggregate Fee Disclosure''). A Fund that employs
an Affiliated Sub-Adviser will provide separate disclosure of any fees
paid to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser.
    6. The Funds will inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Sub-
Adviser pursuant to the following procedures (``Modified Notice and
Access Procedures''): (a) Within 90 days after a new Sub-Adviser is
hired for any Fund, that Fund will send its shareholders either a
Multi-manager Notice or a Multi-manager Notice and Multi-manager
Information Statement; \4\ and (b) the Fund will make the Multi-manager
Information Statement available on the Web site identified in the
Multi-manager Notice no later than when the Multi-manager Notice (or
Multi-manager Notice and Multi-manager Information Statement) is first
sent to shareholders, and will maintain it on that Web site for at
least 90 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ A ``Multi-manager Notice'' will be modeled on a Notice of
Internet Availability as defined in rule 14a-16 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act''), and specifically will,
among other things: (a) Summarize the relevant information regarding
the new Sub-Adviser; (b) inform shareholders that the Multi-manager
Information Statement is available on a Web site; (c) provide the
Web site address; (d) state the time period during which the Multi-
manager Information Statement will remain available on that Web
site; (e) provide instructions for accessing and printing the Multi-
manager Information Statement; and (f) instruct the shareholder that
a paper or email copy of the Multi manager Information Statement may
be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Funds. A ``Multi-
manager Information Statement'' will meet the requirements of
Regulation 14C, Schedule 14C and Item 22 of Schedule 14A under the
Exchange Act for an information statement, except as modified by the
requested order to permit Aggregate Fee Disclosure. Multi-manager
Information Statements will be filed electronically with the
Commission via the EDGAR system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applicants' Legal Analysis

    1. Section 15(a) of the Act provides, in relevant part, that it is
unlawful for any person to act as an investment adviser to a registered
investment company except pursuant to a written contract that has been
approved by the vote of a majority of the company's outstanding voting
securities. Rule 18f-2 under the Act provides that each series or class
of stock in a series investment company affected by a matter must
approve that matter if the Act requires shareholder approval.

    2. Form N-1A is the registration statement used by open-end
investment companies. Item 19(a)(3) of Form N-1A requires disclosure of
the method and amount of the investment adviser's compensation.
    3. Rule 20a-1 under the Act requires proxies solicited with respect
to a registered investment company to comply with Schedule 14A under
the Exchange Act. Items 22(c)(1)(ii), 22(c)(1)(iii), 22(c)(8) and
22(c)(9) of Schedule 14A, taken together, require a proxy statement for
a shareholder meeting at which the advisory contract will be voted upon
to include the ``rate of compensation of the investment adviser,'' the
``aggregate amount of the investment adviser's fees,'' a description of
the ``terms of the contract to be acted upon,'' and, if a change in the
advisory fee is proposed, the existing and proposed fees and the
difference between the two fees.
    4. Regulation S-X sets forth the requirements for financial
statements required to be included as part of a registered investment
company's registration statement and shareholder reports filed with the
Commission. Sections 6-07(2)(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation S-X require
a registered investment company to include in its financial statement
information about the investment advisory fees.
    5. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of
persons, securities, or transactions from any provision of the Act, or
from any rule thereunder, if such exemption is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors
and the purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the
Act. Applicants state that the requested relief meets this standard for
the reasons discussed below.
    6. Applicants assert that the shareholders expect the Adviser,
subject to the review and approval of the Board, to select the Sub-
Advisers who are best suited to achieve the Fund's investment
objective. Applicants assert that, from the perspective of the
shareholder, the role of the Sub-Adviser is substantially equivalent to
the role of the individual portfolio managers employed by traditional
investment company advisory firms. Applicants state that requiring
shareholder approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement would impose
unnecessary delays and expenses on the Funds, and may preclude the Fund
from acting promptly when the Board and the Adviser believe that a
change would benefit a Fund and its shareholders. Applicants note that
the Advisory Agreement and any sub-advisory agreement with an
Affiliated Sub-Adviser (if any) will continue to be subject to the
shareholder approval requirements of section 15(a) of the Act and rule
18f-2 under the Act.
    7. Applicants assert that the requested disclosure relief would
benefit shareholders of the Funds because it would improve the
Adviser's ability to negotiate the fees paid to Sub-Advisers.
Applicants state that the Adviser may be able to negotiate rates that
are below a Sub-Adviser's ``posted'' amounts, if the Adviser is not
required to disclose the Sub-Advisers' fees to the public. Applicants
submit that the requested relief will encourage Sub-Advisers to
negotiate lower Sub-Advisory fees with the Adviser if the lower fees
are not required to be made public.

Applicants' Conditions

    Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief will
be subject to the following conditions: \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Applicants will only comply with conditions 9, 10, 11, and
12 if they rely on the fee disclosure relief that would allow them
to provide Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Before a Fund may rely on the order, the operation of the Fund
in the manner described in the application will be approved by a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Act, or, in the case of a Fund whose public shareholders purchase
shares on the basis of a prospectus containing the disclosure
contemplated by condition 2 below, by the initial shareholder(s) before
offering the Fund's shares to the public.
    2. Each Fund relying on the order will disclose in its prospectus
the existence, substance, and effect of the order granted pursuant to
this application. Each Fund relying on the order will hold itself out
to the public as utilizing the manager of managers structure described
in the application. The prospectus will prominently disclose that the
Adviser has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board)
to oversee the Sub-Advisers and recommend their hiring, termination,
and replacement.
    3. Each Fund will inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Sub-
Adviser within 90 days after the hiring of the new Sub-Adviser pursuant
to the Modified Notice and Access Procedures.
    4. The Adviser will not enter into a sub-advisory agreement with
any Affiliated Sub-Adviser without such agreement, including the
compensation to be paid thereunder, being approved by the shareholders
of the applicable Fund.
    5. At all times, at least a majority of the Board will be
Independent Trustees, and the nomination of new or additional
Independent Trustees will be at the discretion of the then-existing
Independent Trustees.
    6. Whenever a sub-adviser change is proposed for a Fund with an
Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, will make a separate finding, reflected in the
applicable Board minutes, that such change is in the best interests of
the Fund and its shareholders, and does not involve a conflict of
interest from which the Adviser or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser derives an
inappropriate advantage.
    7. The Adviser will provide general management services to each
Fund relying on the order, including overall supervisory responsibility
for the general management and investment of the Fund's assets and,
subject to review and approval by the Board, will: (a) Set each Fund's
overall investment strategies; (b) evaluate, select and recommend Sub-
Advisers to manage all or a portion of a Fund's assets; (c) allocate
and, when appropriate, reallocate the Fund's assets among multiple Sub-
Advisers; (d) monitor and evaluate the Sub-Advisers' performance; and
(e) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that Sub-
Adviser(s) comply with the relevant Fund's investment objectives,
policies and restrictions.
    8. No trustee or officer of a Fund relying on the order, or
director, manager, or officer of the Adviser will own directly or
indirectly (other than through a pooled investment vehicle that is not
controlled by such person) any interest in a Sub-Adviser except for (a)
ownership of interests in the Adviser or any entity that controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with the Adviser; or (b)
ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class of
equity or debt of a publicly traded company that is either a Sub-
Adviser or an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with a Sub-Adviser.
    9. Each Fund relying on the order will disclose in its registration
statement the Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
    10. Independent legal counsel, as defined in rule 0-1(a)(6) under
the Act, will be engaged to represent the Independent Trustees. The
selection of such counsel will be within the discretion of the then-
existing Independent Trustees.
    11. The Adviser will provide the Board, no less frequently than
quarterly, with information about the profitability of the Adviser on a
per-Fund basis for

each Fund relying on the order. The information will reflect the impact
on profitability of the hiring or termination of any Sub-Adviser during
the applicable quarter.
    12. Whenever a Sub-Adviser is hired or terminated, the Adviser will
provide the Board with information showing the expected impact on the
profitability of the Adviser.
    13. In the event the Commission adopts a rule under the Act
providing substantially similar relief to that requested in the
application, the requested order will expire on the effective date of
that rule.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.

Deputy Secretary.
