SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55715; File No. SR-ISE-2007-26]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule
Change To Extend a Pilot Program That Allows the Listing of Strike
Prices at One-Point Intervals for Stocks Trading Under $20

May 7, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\

notice is hereby given that on April 30, 2007, the International
Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have
been substantially prepared by ISE. The Exchange has filed the proposal
as a ``non-controversial'' rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders it
effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend until June 5, 2008, its $1 strike
pilot program that allows the listing of strike prices at one-point
intervals (``Pilot Program''). The text of the proposed rule change is
available at ISE, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.iseoptions.com
.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, ISE 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. ISE 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
    On June 16, 2003, the Commission approved ISE's Pilot Program,
which allows ISE to list series with $1 strike price intervals on
equity option classes that overlie up to five individual stocks,
provided that the strike prices are $20 or less, but not less than
$3.\5\ The Pilot Program, after being extended on four prior
occasions,\6\ is set to expire on June 5, 2007.\7\ The Exchange may
currently select up to five individual stocks to be included in the
Pilot Program. The Exchange, however, is also permitted to list options
on other individual stocks at $1 strike price intervals if other
options exchanges listed those series pursuant to their respective
rules. The Exchange has selected the following five options classes to
participate in the Pilot Program: AMR Corp. (AMR), Clapine Corp. (CPN),
EMC Corp. (EMC), El Paso Corp. (EP), and Sun Microsystems Inc. (SUNW).
ISE believes the Pilot Program has been successful and well received by
its members and the investing public. Thus, ISE proposes to extend the
Pilot Program until June 5, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 48033 (June 16,
2003), 68 FR 37036 (June 20, 2003) (SR-ISE-2003-17) (``Pilot Program
Approval Order'').
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 49827 (June 8,
2004), 69 FR 33966 (June 17, 2004) (SR-ISE-2004-21); 50060 (July 22,
2004), 69 FR 45864 (July 30, 2004) (SR-ISE-2004-26); 51769 (May 31,
2005), 70 FR 33232 (June 07, 2005) (SR-ISE-2005-22); and 53806 (May
15, 2006), 71 FR 29694 (May 23, 2006) (SR-ISE-2006-20)
(collectively, ``Pilot Extension Notices'').
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53806, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In support of this proposed rule change, and as required by the
Pilot Program Approval Order and the Pilot Extension Notices, the
Exchange is submitting to the Commission a report (``Pilot Program
Report''), attached as Exhibit 3 to the proposal, detailing the
Exchange's experience with the Pilot Program. Specifically, the Pilot
Program Report contains data and written analysis regarding the five
options classes included in the Pilot Program for the period between
March 2006 through February 2007.
    The Exchange believes there is sufficient investor interest and
demand to extend the Pilot Program for another year. The Exchange
continues to believe that the Pilot Program has provided investors with
greater trading opportunities and flexibility and the ability to more
closely tailor their investment strategies and decisions to the
movement of the underlying security. Furthermore, the Exchange has not
detected any material proliferation of illiquid options series
resulting from the narrower strike price intervals.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ that the rules of a
national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that extension
of the Pilot Program will result in a continuing benefit to investors
by allowing them to more closely tailor their investment decisions, and
will allow the Exchange to further study investor interest in $1 strike
price intervals.

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

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

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

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

    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
persons.

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

    Because the foregoing rule change does not: (1) Significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30
days from the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). Rule 19b-4(f)(6) also requires the
self-regulatory organization to give the Commission notice of its
intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of 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. ISE
has satisfied the five-day pre-filing requirement. As set forth in
the Commission's initial approval of the Pilot Program, if ISE
proposes to: (1) Extend the Pilot Program; (2) expand the number of
options eligible for inclusion in the Pilot Program; or (3) seek
permanent approval of the Pilot Program, it must submit a Pilot
Program report to the Commission along with the filing of its
proposal to extend, expand, or seek permanent approval of the Pilot
Program. ISE must file any proposal to expand or seek permanent
approval of the Pilot Program and the Pilot Program report with the
Commission at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the Pilot
Program. The Pilot Program report must cover the entire time the
Pilot Program was in effect and must include: (1) Data and written
analysis on the open interest and trading volume for options (at all
strike price intervals) selected for the Pilot Program; (2) delisted
options series (for all strike price intervals) for all options
selected for the Pilot Program; (3) an assessment of the
appropriateness of $1 strike price intervals for the options ISE
selected for the Pilot Program; (4) an assessment of the impact of
the Pilot Program on the capacity of ISE's, the Options Price
Reporting Authority's, and vendors' automated systems; (5) any
capacity problems or other problems that arose during the operation
of the Pilot Program and how ISE addressed them; (6) any complaints
that ISE received during the operation of the Pilot Program and how
ISE addressed them; and (7) any additional information that would
help to assess the operation of the Pilot Program. See Pilot Program
Approval Order, supra note 5.

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

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

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is taking final action to approve the
Southern Ute Indian Tribe's (SUIT) July 3, 2012 request for delegation
of authority to implement and enforce National Emissions Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS). This request establishes and requires SUIT to administer a NSPS
and NESHAPs program per EPA regulations. SUIT met the requirements of
Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 111(c) and 112(l) and 40 CFR subpart E for
full approval to administer CAA 111 and CAA 112 programs entirely due
to its prior approval of its CAA Title V Part 70 Permitting Program.
The delegation is facilitated by SUIT's treatment ``in the same manner
as a state'' (TAS) document, per CAA section 301(d)(2). This action is
being taken under CAA sections 111 and 112.

suggest alternatives.
    g. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    h. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline

II. Delegation of Authority to SUIT

    CAA sections 111(c)(1) and 112(l), as amended, authorize EPA to
delegate authority to any state or tribal agency which submits adequate
regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS
and NESHAP. The NSPS are codified in 40 CFR part 60 and the NESHAP are
codified in 40 CFR part 63. Delegation confers primary responsibility
for implementation and enforcement to the respective tribal agency;
however, EPA also retains the concurrent authority to enforce the
standards.
    With a July 3, 2012 letter, the Chairman of the Southern Ute Indian
Tribe requested delegation of authority for NSPS and NESHAP,
promulgated in Parts 2 and 3 of the SUIT Reservation Air Program. EPA's
review of SUIT's

program determined that it contained adequate and effective procedures
for the implementation and enforcement of these federal standards.
Therefore, on November 27, 2012, EPA Region 8 notified SUIT that,
pending publication in the Federal Register, the Tribe is authorized to
accept delegation of NSPS and NESHAP standards with the following
letter:

``The Honorable Jimmy R. Newton Jr., Chairman
The Southern Ute Indian Tribe
P.O. Box 737
Ignacio, Colorado 81137-0737

Re: Clean Air Act (CAA) 111 and 112, New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) Program Approval

Dear Chairman Newton:

    I am pleased to inform you that, because the Southern Ute Indian
Tribe has an approved CAA Title V permitting program, the EPA finds
that the Tribe has the authority to carry out NSPS (CAA 111) and
NESHAP (CAA 112) regulatory activities, and that the Tribe can begin
requesting delegation of specific NSPS & NESHAP standards. The
Tribe's treatment ``in the same manner as a state'' document has
been updated to reflect this new Program approval (per CAA section
301(d)(2) and 40 CFR 49.6.)
    NSPS establishes maximum emission levels for new stationary
sources, and NESHAPs address the control of hazardous air pollutants
through Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards and
related programs that enhance and support the NESHAP program. The
Tribe is also granted automatic delegation of NESHAP (CAA 112)
standards through incorporation by reference of the standards when
they are adopted unchanged into the Reservation Air Code (RAC) from
the federal standards. A request for delegation of specific NSPS
(CAA 111) standards will require a letter to the EPA. After such
request the EPA would publish a Federal Register notice containing
the letter of request and an updated Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) table, and the EPA would respond by letter to the Tribe.
    To approve future requests for delegation of NSPS and NESHAPS
regulations the EPA will provide public notice through publication
in the Federal Register as a direct final rule. A direct final rule
makes CAA 111 and CAA 112 delegations effective the day of
publication. However, should the EPA receive any adverse comments on
the direct final rule, the delegation will be reconsidered.
    For more information on this approval, please contact Carl Daly,
Director of Region 8's Air Program at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Sincerely,

James B. Martin
Regional Administrator''

III. Summary of Final Action

    We are approving delegation of the CAA 111 and 112 programs (NSPS
and NESHAP, respectively) to SUIT. We are approving this rule because
the authority for this delegation is based entirely on SUIT's previous
approval of the Part 70 permitting program [EPA-R08-OAR-2011-0015; FRL-
9277-9]

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves Tribal law as meeting federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by Tribal law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements and does not impose any
additional enforceable duty, it does not contain any unfunded mandate
or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).
    This action also does not have federalism implications because it
does not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it approves a Tribal
rule implementing a Federal standard.
    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000),
requires us to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications''. ``Policies that have tribal
implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations
that have ``substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and the Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes''. Under Section 5(b) of Executive
Order 13175, we may not issue a regulation that has tribal
implications, that imposes substantial direct compliance costs, and
that is not required by statute, unless the Federal Government provides
the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by
tribal governments, or we consult with tribal officials early in the
process of developing the proposed regulation. Under Section 5(c) of
Executive Order 13175, we may not issue a regulation that has tribal
implications and that preempts tribal law, unless the Agency consults
with tribal officials early in the process of developing the proposed
regulation. While we conclude that this action will have tribal
implications, this action is not a regulation and merely approves a
Tribal rule implementing a federal standard. This action does not alter
the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities
established in the Clean Air Act except as regards implementation of
CAA 111 and 112. This action will neither impose substantial direct
compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. section 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. EPA will submit a report containing this
rule 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 September 3, 2013. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed
rules

section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

    By order dated March 30, 2012, in Docket Nos. ER12-678-000 and
ER12-679-000, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)
directed staff to convene a technical conference regarding proposals by
the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (MISO)
regarding Revenue Sufficiency Guarantee (RSG) costs associated with
resources committed for voltage or local reliability requirements (VLR
costs).\1\ In Docket No. ER12-678-000, MISO proposed to allocate a
greater proportion of VLR costs to the load in the Local Balancing
Authority Area benefitted by such commitments. In Docket No. ER12-679-
000, MISO proposed a mechanism by which to mitigate the exercise of
market power with regard to offers made to address VLR issues. In its
order, the Commission accepted and suspended for five months both of
MISO's filings, subject to the outcome of the technical conference and
further Commission order.

747SP Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-
200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. This AD
requires inspecting for skin cracks at the shear tie end fastener
locations of the fuselage frames, and repairing cracks if necessary.
This AD results from a wide-spread fatigue damage assessment of Model
747 airplanes. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in
the fuselage skin that can propagate and grow, resulting in a loss of
structural integrity and a sudden decompression of the airplane during
flight.

DATES: This AD is effective April 20, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of April 20,
2009.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,

Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Boeing model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-
200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 8, 2008 (73
FR 58901). That NPRM proposed to require inspecting for skin cracks at
the shear tie end fastener locations of the fuselage frames, and
repairing cracks if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received. Boeing concurs with the
contents of the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 147 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it takes 30 work-hours for the detailed inspection,
or 49 work hours for the HFEC inspection, per product, to comply with
this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be
$352,800 or $576,240, or $2,400 or $3,920 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations

for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds
necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that
is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking
action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

rights in an offering made to all holders of securities of the class to
which the preemptive subscription rights pertain;

subscription rights; and
    (3) The acquisition is duly reported, if required, pursuant to
section 16(a) of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder in
this part.
    (b) A group shall be deemed not to have acquired any equity
securities beneficially owned by the other members of the group solely
by virtue of their concerted actions relating to the purchase of equity
securities directly from an issuer in a transaction not involving a
public offering; provided, that:
    (1) All the members of the group are persons specified in Sec.
240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii);

business and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or
influencing control of the issuer, nor in connection with or as a
participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, including
any transaction subject to Sec.  240.13d-3(b);
    (3) There is no agreement among or between any members of the group
to act together with respect to the issuer or its securities except for
the purpose of facilitating the specific purchase involved; and
