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
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 amends Class E airspace at the Tennessee airports listed in this
final rule.

History

    In a review of the airspace, the FAA found the airspace description
for Class E Airspace at McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport, Jackson, TN,
and Tri-Cities Regional Airport, Tri-Cities, TN, as published in FAA
Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, does not
match the FAA's charting information. This administrative change to
remove the NOTAM information to be in concert with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6004 of
FAA Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by eliminating the NOTAM information that reads ``This Class E
airspace area is effective during the specific dates and times
established in advance by Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time
will thereafter be continuously published in the Airport/Facility
Directory.'' from the regulatory text of Class E airspace designated as
an extension to Class D at McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport, Jackson,
TN; and Tri-Cities Regional Airport, Tri-Cities, TN. This is an
administrative change amending the description for the above Tennessee
airports to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database, and does
not affect the boundaries, or operating requirements of the airspace,
therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-71759; File No. SR-ISE-2014-09]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Related to Market Maker
Risk Parameters

March 20, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on March 10, 2014, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which items have been prepared by the 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 Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules to mitigate market maker
risk by adopting an Exchange-provided risk management functionality.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web
site www.ise.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 self-regulatory organization has prepared summaries,
set forth in Sections A, B and C below, of the most significant aspects
of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Pursuant to ISE Rules 722 and 804, the Exchange automatically
removes a market maker's quotes in all series of an options class when
certain parameter settings are triggered. Specifically, there are four
parameters that can be set by market makers on a class-by-class basis.
These parameters are available for market maker quotes in single
options series and for market maker quotes in complex instruments on
the complex order book. Market makers establish a time frame during
which the system calculates: (1) The number of contracts executed by
the market maker in an options class; (2) the percentage of the total
size of the market maker's quotes in the class that has been executed;
(3) the absolute value of the net between contracts bought and
contracts sold in an options class, and (4) the absolute value of the
net between (a) calls purchased plus puts sold, and (b) calls sold plus
puts purchased. The market maker establishes limits for each of these
four parameters, and when the limits are exceeded within the prescribed
time frame, the market maker's quotes in that class are removed or
curtailed.\3\ The Exchange also recently adopted another risk
management parameter that allows market maker quotes to be removed from
the trading system if a specified number of curtailment events occur
across the ISE market. If the specified number of curtailment events is
exceeded within the prescribed time period, the market maker's quotes
in all classes in which it makes a market are automatically removed
from the trading system.\4\ It is mandatory for market makers to enter
values into all of these quotation risk management parameters for all
options classes in which it enters quotes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70132 (August 7,
2013), 78 FR 49311 (August 13, 2013) (SR-ISE-2013-38).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71446 (January 30,
2014), 79 FR 6951 (February 5, 2014) (SR-ISE-2014-04).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to further enhance its risk management
offering for market maker quotes. Specifically, the Exchange proposes
to implement functionality to allow market maker quotes to be removed
from the trading system if a specified number of curtailment events
occur across ISE and ISE Gemini, LLC (``ISE Gemini'').\5\ The Exchange
notes that a single trading system governs the trading activity on ISE
and ISE Gemini.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ ISE Gemini recently changed its name from Topaz Exchange,
LLC to ISE Gemini, LLC. See Exchange Act Release No. 71586 (February
20, 2014), 79 FR 10861 (February 26, 2014) (SR-Topaz-2014-06).
    \6\ See Exchange Act Release No. 70050 (July 26, 2013), 78 FR
46622 (August 1, 2013) (In the Matter of the Application of Topaz
Exchange, LLC for Registration as a National Securities Exchange).
Section D. Trading System, 4. Order Display, Execution, and Priority
discusses variously the similarities between ISE and ISE Gemini.

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

    As proposed, market makers who choose to use this risk management
tool must request each Exchange [sic] to set the proposed market wide
parameter to govern its trading activity across both markets. Once this
parameter is set, the trading system will count the number of times a
market maker's pre-set curtailment occurs on each exchange, as
specified in ISE Rule 804(g) (for regular orders) and ISE Rule 722,
Supplementary Material .04 (for complex orders), and sum them together.
Once the sum of the specified number of curtailment events across both
markets has been reached, the trading system will remove all of the
market maker's quotes in all classes on both ISE and ISE Gemini in
which that market maker makes a market thereby reducing the risk to the
market maker in the event the market maker is suffering from a systems
issue or due to the occurrence of unusual or unexpected market
activity. Any quotes sent by the market maker after the market wide
parameter across both markets has been triggered will be rejected until
such time that the market maker notifies the market operations staff
that supports each exchange that it is ready to come out of its
curtailment.\7\ In the interest of maintaining fair and orderly
markets, ISE believes it is important that market makers communicate
their readiness to Exchange staff in a non-automated manner, such as by
email or telephone. Once notified by the market maker, the market
operations staff for each exchange will reactivate the market maker's
quotes on both ISE and ISE Gemini and market makers on both ISE and ISE
Gemini will once again be active in the options classes in which they
make markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id. Pursuant to a facilities management agreement entered
into by Topaz Exchange with ISE, ISE provides certain services, for
example, business management services, facilities management
services, IT services, fiscal services, as well as Commission and
other regulatory compliance services and other legal services, such
as surveillance programs, legal programs, systems and other
operational services, which include services provided by the market
operations staff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To illustrate how the proposed market wide parameter would apply
when set for both ISE and ISE Gemini, suppose market maker WXYZ, who is
a member of both ISE and ISE Gemini, makes a market in 50 options
classes on ISE and in 50 options classes on ISE Gemini, sets the
proposed market wide parameter so that it is triggered at 60
curtailment events within a 30 second time period. On a given trading
day, if market maker WXYZ is curtailed, within the prescribed time
period, 35 times across all the options classes in which it makes a
market on ISE and 25 times across all the options classes in which it
makes a market on ISE Gemini then ISE will remove all of market maker
WXYZ's quotes on ISE and ISE Gemini will remove all of market maker
WXYZ's quotes on ISE Gemini. The 60 curtailment events can occur in
just one class or in any number of classes in which market maker WXYZ
makes a market.
    While the proposed risk management functionality is a useful
feature that serves an important risk management purpose, it operates
consistent with the firm quote obligations of a broker-dealer pursuant
to Rule 602 of Regulation NMS. Specifically, any marketable orders or
quotes that are executable against a market maker's quotes that are
received prior to the time this functionality is engaged will be
automatically executed at the price up to the market maker's size,
regardless of whether such execution results in executions in excess of
the market maker's pre-set parameters.
    The proposed market wide parameter is meant to provide market
makers with protection across both ISE and ISE Gemini from the risk of
multiple executions across multiple series of an option or across
multiple options. The risk to market makers is not limited to a single
series in an option or even to all series in an option. Nor is this
risk limited to a single market. Market makers that quote in multiple
series of multiple options on multiple markets have significant
exposure, requiring them to offset or hedge their overall positions.
The proposed functionality will be useful for market makers, who are
required to continuously quote in assigned options classes on ISE and
ISE Gemini. Quoting across many series in an option or multiple options
creates the possibility of executions that can create large, unintended
principal positions that could expose market makers to unnecessary
risk. The proposed functionality is intended to assist market makers in
managing their market risk, and providing deep and liquid markets to
the benefit of all investors.
    While the Exchange is adopting the proposed functionality following
consultation with market makers, usage of the proposed market wide
parameter will not be mandatory. Further, the Exchange notes that
market makers who prefer to use their own risk-management systems can
set values that assure the Exchange-provided parameter will not be
triggered.\8\ Accordingly, the proposal does not require members to
manage their risk using the Exchange-provided tools. The Exchange will
provide at least two weeks' notice to members via an Exchange circular
prior to implementing the proposed functionality to allow members the
opportunity to perform any system changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For example, a market maker could set the value for the
total number of curtailment events across both markets at a high
number so as not to trigger the Exchange-provided parameter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \9\ in
general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \10\
in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
for a free and open market and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange currently provides market makers with a risk
management tool that allows market maker quotes to be removed from the
trading system if a specified number of curtailment events occur across
ISE. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is appropriate and
reasonable because it enhances each Exchange's [sic] current risk
management offering by allowing market makers to manage their risk
across ISE and ISE Gemini and thereby strengthen their ability to
manage risk across both markets. The proposed market wide parameter
will protect market makers across both markets from inadvertent
exposure to excessive risk and thereby allow market makers to quote
aggressively and provide more liquidity with greater size to both
markets which promotes just and equitable principles of trade and
removes impediments to a free and open market to the benefit of
investors.
    The Exchange believes it will not be unreasonably burdensome for
market makers who choose to utilize the proposed functionality to set
values into the proposed risk parameter, as all market makers currently
utilize the Exchange's risk management functionality, all of which are
mandatory, as noted above. Moreover, the Exchange is proposing this
rule change at the request of its market makers to further reduce their
risk in the event the market maker is suffering from a systems issue or
due to the occurrence of unusual or unexpected market activity. As
discussed above, the

proposed market wide parameter will protect ISE and ISE Gemini market
makers from inadvertent exposure to excessive risk across both markets.
Reducing such risk will enable market makers to enter quotations
without any fear of inadvertent exposure to excessive risk, which in
turn will benefit investors through increased liquidity for the
execution of their orders. Such increased liquidity benefits investors
because they receive better prices and because it lowers volatility in
the options market.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition.
The proposed rule change is meant to protect market makers from
inadvertent exposure to excessive risk when trading on both ISE and ISE
Gemini. Accordingly, the proposed rule change will have no impact on
competition. Market makers are not required to use the proposed
functionality and may use their own risk-management systems and enter
out-of-range values so that the Exchange-provided parameters will not
be triggered. Accordingly, the proposal does not require members to use
or manage their risk using an Exchange-provided tool.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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

    Within 45 days of the publication date of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change; or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

SEN3 values that differ from CRA-2014 values
Notes:
For sampling permeability, use equation k(ΦTx)MODE = 1.5x10-23.5 ΦTx[8.5] with sampled value of  ΦROM  as the input variable for time period (Tx) to determine the mode of the triangular distribution, then sample a final value k(ΦTx) from the triangular distribution with a range equal to +- 1 order of magnitude from the calculated mode. Porosity ΦTx is expressed as a percentage in the equation. Equation k(ΦTx)MODE calculates permeability in m[2].
Sampled values for intact halite are values sampled for CRA-2104. Intact halite has material name S_HALITE.

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should file with
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR
157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. Unless filing electronically, a party must submit 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and
the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing''
link.
