DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Intent To Rule on a Land Release Request at Malden
Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW), Malden, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request to release of airport land.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the
request to release and sell a 3.62 acre parcel of federally obligated
airport property at the Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park
(MAW), Malden, Missouri.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 10, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to
the FAA at the following address: Amy J. Walter, Airports Land
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
620G, 901 Locust, Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106. In addition, one
copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be mailed or delivered
to: David Blalock, Airport Manager, City of Malden Regional Airport &
Industrial Park, 3077 Mitchell Drive, P.O. Box 411, Malden, MO 63863-
0411,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy J. Walter, Airports Land
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Division, ACE-
620G, 901 Locust, Room 364, Kansas City, MO 64106,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected]. The request to release property may be reviewed, by
appointment, in person at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release a 3.62 acre parcel of airport property at the Malden
Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW) under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). This is a Surplus Property Airport. The City of
Malden requested a release from the FAA to sell a 3.62 acre parcel to
Chad Fullerton for commercial development. The FAA determined this
request to release and sell property at the Malden Regional Airport &
Industrial Park (MAW) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural
requirements of the FAA and the release and sale of the property does
not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA
may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty
days after the publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW) is proposing
the release from obligations and sale of a 3.62 acre parcel of airport
property. The release of land is necessary to comply with Federal
Aviation Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally
acquired airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The
sale of the subject property will result in the land at the Malden
Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW) being changed from
aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands from the
conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant
Assurances in order to sell the land. In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market value
for the property, which will be subsequently reinvested in another
eligible airport improvement project for general aviation use.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may request an appointment to inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Malden City Hall.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on October 4, 2022.
James A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-95135; File No. SR-NYSEAMER-2022-26]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE American, LLC.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Rule 902NY To Remove an Obsolete Reference

June 21, 2022.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on June 16, 2022, NYSE American, LLC (``NYSE American'' or
the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I
and II, below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 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 Rule 902NY(c) (Admission and Conduct
on the Options Trading Floor) to remove an obsolete reference. The
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at
www.nyse.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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 902NY(c) regarding that
Standards of Dress and Conduct on the Exchange to remove an obsolete
reference.
    Rule 902NYspecifies the requirements for conduct and dress for
person to follow while on the Options Trading Floor.\4\ Rule 902NY(c)
``Standards of Dress and Conduct'', as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The terms ``Floor'' and ``Trading Floor'' are defined in
Rule 900.2NY(30) to mean ``the options trading floor located at 11
Wall Street, New York, NY.''

    All ATP Holders are required to act in a manner consistent with
a fair and orderly market and with the maintenance of public
confidence in the Exchange. All persons on the Options Trading Floor
shall comply with the standards of dress and conduct in Chapter 13,
Floor Conduct Policy, of the NYSE Floor Officials Manual.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Rule 902NY(c).

    The reference to Chapter 13, Floor Conduct Policy, of the NYSE
Floor Officials Manual is obsolete. Historically, the behavior and
conduct of NYSE members on the NYSE equities trading Floor was
regulated by Floor Conduct and Safety Guidelines administered by NYSE
Floor Officials. In 2021, however, the NYSE eliminated the role and
function of NYSE Floor Officials and adopted a new Rule 37, setting
forth standards of dress and conduct for the NYSE equities trading
Floor modeled on Rule 902NY.\6\ As such, the second sentence of current
Rule 902NY(c) is no longer applicable and the Exchange proposes to
eliminate it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94217 (February 10,
2022), 87 FR 8901 (February 16, 2022) (SR-NYSE-2021-73) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In place of the obsolete reference, the Exchange proposes to revise
Rule 902NY(c) to mirror language set forth in the analogous rule in
place on the Exchange's affiliate NYSE Arca (``Arca''). Arca Rule 6.2-O
(Admission to and Conduct on the Options Trading Floor), is
substantially similar to Rule 902NY(c) in establishing standards of
conduct and dress for persons while on the Arca options trading
floors.\7\ Consistent with Arca Rule 6.2-O(c), proposed 902NY(c),
regarding ``Standards of Dress and Conduct,'' would establish that:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Rule 6.2-O(c) establishing the Standards of Dress and
Conduct and requirement that ``[a]ll OTP Holders and OTP Firms are
required to act in a manner consistent with a fair and orderly
market and with the maintenance of public confidence in the
Exchange. Accordingly, appropriate standards pertaining to dress and
conduct on the Options Trading Floor, including, but not limited to,
the following standards shall be observed:''

    All ATP Holders are required to act in a manner consistent with
a fair and orderly market and with the maintenance of public
confidence in the Exchange. Accordingly, appropriate standards
pertaining to dress and conduct on the Options Trading Floor,
including, but not limited to, the following standards shall be
observed:'' (emphasis added).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See proposed Rule 902NY(c).

    The Exchange is not proposing any other changes to the standards of
dress and conduct expected of ATP Holders when on the Options Trading
Floor.
2. Statutory Basis
    For the reasons set forth above, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \9\ in general,
and furthers the objectives of Sections 6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,\10\
in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system by removing an obsolete reference (to the no
longer used NYSE Floor Conduct Policy) and replacing this text with
substantially identical text in the analogous rule on Arca, the
Exchange affiliate options market. Moreover, the Exchange believes that
by providing greater harmonization between Exchange rules and those of
its affiliates that also have trading floors regarding access, conduct
and decorum, the proposed rule change will foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities and will remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is
not designed to address any competitive issues but rather relates to
the removal of an outdated reference contained in rules regarding
access, conduct and decorum on the Exchange's trading floor and
replacing such reference with language that is consistent with that of
the Exchange's affiliate options exchange--NYSE Arca, thus harmonizing
rules across these exchanges.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) 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
Commission notes that the Exchange satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \14\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\15\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so it can
immediately remove an obsolete reference in Rule 902NY. The Commission
is waiving the 30-day operative delay as the proposal raises no new or
novel issue and would allow the Exchange to immediately update its rule
text to avoid potential investor confusion. Thus, the Commission
believes waiving the operative delay is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission
hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule
change operative upon filing.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \17\ to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2013-E-0034]

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; INLYTA

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for INLYTA and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of an application to the Director of Patents
and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent
which claims that human drug product.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written petitions (two copies are required) and written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
Submit petitions electronically to http://www.regulations.gov at Docket
No. FDA-2013-S-0610.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of
Management, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6257, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase
and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human drug product INLYTA
(axitinib). INLYTA is indicated for treatment of advanced renal cell
carcinoma after failure of one prior systemic therapy. Subsequent to
this approval, the Patent and Trademark Office received a patent term
restoration application for INLYTA (U.S. Patent No. 6,534,524) from
Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and the Patent and Trademark Office
requested FDA's assistance in determining this patent's eligibility for
patent term restoration. In a letter dated February 19, 2013, FDA
advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this human drug product
had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of
INLYTA represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of
the product. Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark Office requested that
FDA determine the product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
INLYTA is 3,699 days. Of this time, 3,410 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 289 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became
effective: December 13, 2001. The applicant claims December 14, 2001,
as the date the investigational new drug application (IND) became
effective. However, FDA records indicate that the IND effective date
was December 13, 2001, which was 30 days after FDA receipt of the IND.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: April 14,
2011. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug
application (NDA) for INLYTA (NDA 202324) was submitted on April 14,
2011.

    3. The date the application was approved: January 27, 2012. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 202324 was approved on January
27, 2012.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in
its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
application for patent extension, this applicant seeks 1,763 days of
patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by July 22, 2014. Furthermore, any interested person
may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant
for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review
period by November 19, 2014. To meet its burden, the petition must
contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept.
857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should
be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written or
electronic petitions. It is only necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. If you submit a written petition, two copies
are required. A petition submitted electronically must be submitted to
http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Comments and
petitions that have not been made publicly available on http://www.regulations.gov may be viewed in the Division of Dockets Management
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Amending the Definition of
Approved Person To Exclude Foreign Affiliates, Creating a New
Definition of ``Foreign Securities Affiliate,'' Eliminating the
Application Process for Approved Persons, and Making Related Technical
and Conforming Changes

July 29, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on July 15, 2011, New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the
self-regulatory organization. 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 amend the definition of approved person to
exclude foreign affiliates, create a new definition of ``foreign
securities affiliate,'' eliminate the application process for approved
persons, and make related technical and conforming changes. The text of
the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the Commission's
Public Reference Room, and http://www.nyse.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, the self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the definition of approved person to
exclude foreign affiliates, create a new definition of ``foreign
securities affiliate,'' eliminate the application process for approved
persons, and make related technical and conforming changes. Following
approval of the proposed rule change, the Exchange will advise member
organizations of the implementation date of the rule change via
Information Memo.
Background
    The current rules governing the definition of and application
process for an approved person are NYSE Rules 2 and 304.\4\ If the
definition requirements under NYSE Rule 2 are met, then the person or
entity has to apply to the Exchange for approval to register as an
approved person. This requirement is intended to bring certain
affiliates of Exchange member organizations within the Exchange's
jurisdiction and to subject such affiliates' activities to Exchange
rules to the extent their activities are related to the activities of
the member organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ NYSE Amex LLC has filed a companion rule filing to conform
its Equities Rules to the changes proposed in this filing. See SR-
NYSEAmex-2011-54.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NYSE Rule 2(c) defines the term ``approved person'' as ``a person,
other than a member, principal executive or employee of a member
organization, who controls a member organization or is engaged in a
securities or kindred business that is controlled by or under common
control with a member or member organization who has been approved by
the Exchange as an approved person.'' NYSE Rule 2(d) further defines
``person'' to include not only natural persons, but also

corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, associations
and other organized groups of persons. NYSE Rule 2(e) defines the term
``control'' to mean the power to direct or cause the direction of
management or policies, whether through ownership of securities, by
contract or otherwise, and creates a rebuttable presumption of control
if the person has a right to vote 25 percent or more of the voting
securities, is entitled to receive 25 percent or more of the net
profits, or is a director, general partner, or principal executive of
the member organization. NYSE Rule 2(f) defines ``engage in a
securities or kindred business'' to mean transacting business as a
broker or dealer in securities. Thus, the current definition of
approved person includes a foreign affiliate of a member organization
that is engaged in a broker-dealer business, but does not include, for
example, a registered investment company. NYSE Rules 2A(e) and (f)
further provide that the Exchange has jurisdiction after notice and a
hearing to discipline approved persons in connection with the member
organization's business and has jurisdiction over any and all other
functions of approved persons in connection with the member
organization's business in order for the Exchange to comply with its
statutory obligation as a self-regulatory organization (``SRO'').
    NYSE Rules 304 and 311(a) require, with limited exceptions, that
persons who meet the NYSE Rule 2(c) definition of an approved person
must apply for approval by the Exchange as an approved person. NYSE
Rule 304 further provides that no person may become or remain an
approved person unless such person meets the standards prescribed in
the Exchange's rules, and it prescribes the process that an applicant
must follow to become an approved person. Among other things, this
process involves submission to the Exchange of a completed Form AP-1
(in the case of a corporation or other legal entity) or Forms AD-G 2
and AD-G 3 (in the case of a natural person, collectively referred to
as ``AD-G''), and other pertinent information regarding the candidate
for approval. By executing the Form AP-1 or AD-G, as applicable, the
approved person affirmatively consents to the Exchange's jurisdiction.
Proposed Rule Change
    The Exchange proposes to amend the definition of approved person to
exclude certain foreign affiliates because the Exchange believes that
the current definition is overbroad and it is unnecessary to assert
jurisdiction over a foreign affiliate of a member organization that
does not control a member organization. The Exchange notes that
excluding such foreign affiliates from its jurisdiction would be
consistent with Rule 19g2-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the ``Act''), which provides that an exchange is not
required to enforce compliance with its rules against certain persons;
\5\ the Exchange has not identified a rule of any other SRO that
asserts jurisdiction over a foreign affiliate under common control with
a member of that SRO. As such, the Exchange proposes to amend the
definition of approved person so that it would include any person,
other than a member, principal executive or employee of a member
organization, who controls a member organization, is engaged in a
securities or kindred business that is controlled by a member or member
organization, or is a U.S. registered broker-dealer under common
control with a member organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See 17 CFR 240.19g2-1. Under Rule 19g2-1, a national
securities exchange is not required to enforce compliance, within
the meaning of Section 19(g) of the Act, with the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, with respect to persons associated with
a member, other than securities persons or persons who control a
member. Under Rule 19g2-1(b)(1), a ``securities person'' is defined
as a ``person who is a general partner or officer (or person
occupying a similar status or performing similar functions) or
employee of a member; provided, however, that a registered broker or
dealer which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the member and the general partners and officers (and persons
occupying similar status or performing similar functions) and
employees of such a registered broker or dealer shall be securities
persons if they effect, directly or indirectly, transactions in
securities through the member by use of facilities maintained or
supervised by such exchange or association.'' A foreign broker-
dealer not registered in the United States that is under common
control with an NYSE member organization and that is not a general
partner or officer (or person occupying similar status or performing
similar functions) or employee of a member, falls outside of the
definition of ``securities person.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By changing the definition of approved person to exclude certain
foreign affiliates, the Exchange does not intend to eliminate controls
in Exchange rules related to potential conflicts of interest associated
with having a foreign affiliate under common control with a member
organization. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to add a new defined
term to Rule 2, ``foreign securities affiliate,'' which includes
foreign persons not registered as a broker dealer in the United States
that are in a securities or kindred business and that are under common
control with a member organization. The Exchange proposes to insert the
term ``foreign securities affiliate'' in Rules 21, 22, 91, 92, 96, 98A,
112, 304, 402, 422, 410A, 460, and 1301, so that the coverage of such
rules remains the same following the proposed rule change. For example,
Rule 21 seeks to eliminate conflicts of interests associated with
reviewing decisions related to listing of securities at the Exchange.
By including the proposed new definition of ``foreign securities
affiliates,'' the scope of the rule remains unchanged, notwithstanding
the proposed new definition of ``approved persons'' to exclude foreign
affiliates under common control with a member organization.
    The Exchange also proposes to amend its rules to remove the
requirement that the Exchange affirmatively approve each application to
become an approved person. If a person meets the definition of an
approved person, as proposed, the Exchange will obtain jurisdiction by
consent as described below. The Exchange believes that the current
application process requires the submission of a substantial amount of
information and documents related to member organization affiliates
that is unnecessary to carry out the Exchange's regulatory
responsibilities. In particular, because the Exchange is no longer the
Designated Examining Authority (``DEA'') for Exchange member
organizations,\6\ the Exchange does not believe that it needs to engage
in a detailed financial review of approved persons of its member
organization applicants. The Exchange further notes that other SROs do
not require that such persons undergo such an application and approval
process.\7\ The Exchange, therefore, proposes to remove all references
to an approval process and the submission of an application for such
approval from NYSE Rules 2, 304, 308, and 311. The Exchange also would
eliminate use of the Forms AP-1 and AD-G.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Prospective member organization applicants must be either a
member of FINRA or, if the applicant does not transact business with
public customers or conduct business on the Floor of the Exchange, a
member of another registered securities exchange, before being
approved as an Exchange member organization. See NYSE Rule 2(b)(i).
Generally, FINRA or the other exchange already is, or will be,
designated as the DEA under SEC Rule 17d-1 and the Exchange will not
be designated as such. Currently, the Exchange is not the DEA for
any of its member organizations, but if it were designated as the
DEA, the Exchange has retained FINRA to perform services related to
meeting the Exchange's DEA responsibilities for a member
organization.
    \7\ For example, the rules of FINRA and The NASDAQ Stock Market,
Inc. do not impose application and approval requirements on member
affiliates. See also note 9, infra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nevertheless, the Exchange's jurisdiction over approved persons in
accordance with the revised definition would remain. Thus, the Exchange

proposes to amend NYSE Rule 304 to provide specifically that a member
organization would be required to identify all of its foreign
securities affiliates and approved persons to the Exchange and each
such approved person would be required to consent to the Exchange's
jurisdiction, which is consistent with the obligations currently
imposed on approved persons. The provisions of the current NYSE Rule
304(e)(2)-(4) that require an approved person to agree to (i) Inform
the Exchange of any statutory disqualification of the approved person
under Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, (ii) abide by the Rules of the
Exchange relating to approved persons, and (iii) permit examination by
the Exchange, or any person designated by it, of its books and records
to verify the accuracy of the information required to be supplied under
Exchange Rules, would be retained in proposed Rule 304.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange proposes to eliminate the text in current Rule
304(e)(1), which requires an approved person to supply information
concerning its relationship with the member organization. This
provision relates to information required to be submitted on Form
AP-1 or AD-G, and as such it is not necessary to retain it in
proposed Rule 304.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The focus on identification of affiliates and approved persons by
each member organization and consent to jurisdiction by each approved
person, instead of review and approval of applications by the Exchange,
would make the entire process more efficient while maintaining
appropriate regulatory standards. The proposed rule change would remove
unnecessary paperwork in the process while holding each member
organization accountable for identifying to the Exchange its affiliates
and approved persons. The remaining jurisdictional requirements for
approved persons would enable the Exchange to continue to pursue
matters involving or affecting its member organizations.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange notes that FINRA is in the process of
harmonizing legacy NASD and NYSE Rules, and has published a proposal
to harmonize membership rules. See FINRA Regulatory Notice 10-01.
While FINRA has proposed that a member firm be required to provide
certain information about affiliates, FINRA has not proposed to
adopt the approved person definition or application process, or
assert jurisdiction over such persons. When FINRA completes that
harmonization process for the membership rules, the Exchange will
consider whether further amendments to its approved person rules are
advisable. Until such time, the Exchange believes that the narrowing
of the approved person definition and the elimination of the
approved person application process will remove unnecessary
complexities and excessive informational requirements and thereby
reduce burdens on membership applicants and member organizations
while still maintaining high regulatory standards consistent with
the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to make technical and conforming changes
to other rules that reference the approved person application
process.\10\ The Exchange further proposes to make technical amendments
to replace the term ``allied member'' with ``principal executive'' in
Rules 21, 22, 91, 96, 112, 304, 308, 410A, 422, 460, and 1301 and NYSE
Rule Interpretation for Rule 304, delete ``allied member'' from Rule
304A, and delete NYSE Rule Interpretation for Rule 304A entirely; the
Exchange replaced the term ``allied member'' with the term ``principal
executive'' in an earlier rule filing and the proposed amendments are
consistent with the previous rule filing.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Specifically, the Exchange proposes to clarify Rule 98A,
which provides that no issuer, or partner or subsidiary thereof, may
become an approved person of a Designated Market Maker unit that is
registered in the stock of that issuer. Because an entity is an
approved person by virtue of status, as described above, the
Exchange proposes to clarify the meaning of the Rule by amending it
to provide that a DMM unit may not be registered in a stock of an
issuer, or a partner or subsidiary thereof, if such entity is an
approved person of the DMM unit's member organization. Finally, the
Exchange proposes to amend Rule 476A, which addresses minor rule
violations, to correct a citation to Rule 304.
    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58549 (September
15, 2008), 73 FR 54444 (September 19, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-80).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \12\ of
the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5)
\13\ in particular in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, 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. More specifically, the NYSE believes that the proposed
approved person definition and consent to jurisdiction process would
remove unnecessary complexities and excessive informational
requirements and create a more efficient and less burdensome process
for membership applicants and member organizations while maintaining
appropriate regulatory standards. As such, the proposed rule change
would contribute to removing impediments to and perfecting the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in 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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

Federal Register or within such longer period (i) As the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date 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 the proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


			  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on December 28, 2005

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKETS OST-2001-9027

				    				        OST-2002-13389

________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. (AMERICAN) filed 11/14/05 for:

XX  Temporary dormancy waiver for scheduled services in the St.
Louis-Cancun and Boston-Cancun markets

American holds authority to provide scheduled services in the St.
Louis-Cancun and Boston-Cancun markets.   The authority in each case is
subject to a dormancy condition whereby if the carrier discontinues
services on a route segment for 90 days or longer, the carrier must
notify the Department of its decision.  On November 14, 2005, American
filed an application in the captioned dockets for a waiver of the
dormancy condition through December 1, 2006.  American states that due
to the destruction caused by Hurricane Wilma in Cancun, it will not
operate 2005-2006 seasonal winter service in the St. Louis-Cancun and
Boston-Cancun markets.  American notes that its Cancun service has been
disrupted since Hurricane Wilma struck Cancun on October 22, 2005.

Applicant rep: Carl B. Nelson<PHONE_NUMBER>   DOT Analyst: Thuy H.
Cooper<PHONE_NUMBER>

Disposition

We have decided to grant the application filed by American for a
temporary dormancy waiver for scheduled services in the St. Louis-Cancun
and Boston-Cancun markets through December 1, 2006.  We will require
American to institute services no later than December 1, 2006.  We find
that granting American’s request is in the public interest due to the
circumstances of Hurricane Wilma’s effects on service to Cancun.  No
party opposed American’s request for a waiver.

Any future request to extend the waiver at issue here will have to be
considered in light of any specific arguments offered and responses
thereto, and in the context of the circumstances presented at that time,
including whether another carrier seeks to use the designation at issue.

XX  Granted

The above action was effective when taken: December 28, 2005 through
December 1, 2006.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		      Office of International Aviation

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

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Dockets.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

Web at:

http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_aviation.asp

 The St. Louis-Cancun exemption authority for seasonal service was
granted by certificate for route 794 in Order 2001-4-7 on April 7, 2001.
 American has a pending renewal application in Docket OST-2001-9027.  By
Notice of Action Taken on August 10, 2004, the Department renewed
American’s exemption authority for seasonal service in the
Boston-Cancun market (see Docket OST-2002-13389).

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. IC10-6-001 and IC10-6Q-001]

Commission Information Collection Activities (FERC Form Nos. 6
and 6-Q); Comment Request; Submitted for OMB Review

April 19, 2010.
AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirements of section 3507 of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the purpose of publishing this notice
and seeking public comment, FERC requests comments on the following
information collections:
     FERC Form No. 6 (``FERC-6''), ``Annual Report of Oil
Pipeline Companies,'' implemented in 18 CFR Sections 357.1, 357.2, and
385.2011; OMB Control No. 1902-0022, and
     FERC Form No. 6-Q (``FERC-6Q'' or ``FERC-6-Q''),
``Quarterly Financial Report of Oil Pipeline Companies,'' implemented
in 18 CFR Section 357.4; OMB Control No. 1902-0206.
    The associated regulations, information collections, burdens, and
OMB clearance numbers will continue to remain separate and distinct.
    Under the Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) (49 U.S.C. 1, 20, 54 Stat.
916), the Commission is authorized and empowered to make investigations
and to collect and record data to the extent FERC may consider to be
necessary or useful for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
the ICA. FERC must ensure just and reasonable rates for transportation
of crude oil and petroleum products by pipelines in interstate
commerce.
    The information collected by FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6-Q are used by
the Commission to carry out its responsibilities in implementing the
statutory provisions of the ICA, including the authority to prescribe
rules and regulations concerning accounts, records and memoranda, as
necessary or appropriate. Financial accounting and reporting provides
needed information concerning a company's past performance and its
future prospects. Without reliable financial statements prepared in
accordance with the Commission's Uniform System of Accounts and related
regulations, the Commission would be unable to accurately determine the
costs that relate to a particular time period, service or line of
business.
    FERC uses data from the FERC Form Nos. 6 and 6-Q to assist in: (1)
Implementation of its financial audits and programs, (2) continuous
review of the financial condition of regulated companies, (3)
assessment of energy markets, (4) rate proceedings and economic
analyses, and (5) research for use in litigation.
    Financial information reported on the annual FERC Form 6 and
quarterly FERC Form 6-Q provides FERC, as well as customers, investors
and others, an important tool to help identify emerging trends and
issues affecting jurisdictional entities within the energy industry. It
also provides timely disclosures of the impacts that new accounting
standards, or changes in existing standards, have on jurisdictional
entities, as well as the

economic effects of significant transactions, events, and
circumstances. The reporting of this information by jurisdictional
entities assists the Commission in its analysis of profitability,
efficiency, risk and in its overall monitoring.
    A summary of the comment received (from the 60-day Notice) and
FERC's response follow.
    Comment: The Commission received comments from only one commenter,
the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. Department of Commerce. BEA
endorsed the continued use of the information contained in the FERC
Form Nos. 6 and 6Q, stating that:
    ``BEA uses FERC tabulations FERC forms 6 and 6Q indirectly. They
are used to estimate the U.S. Census Bureau's Construction Value Put-In
Place (VPIP) for oil pipeline utilities. Census VPIP serves as a major
source data input to the National Income and Product Account (NIPA) for
structures investment estimates. NIPA estimates for electric, gas, and
pipeline structures rely upon the VPIP source data * * *. The FERC Form
6 is used indirectly as well to derive annual pipeline transportation
output in the Industry Accounts program. Data obtained by the Industry
Accounts from the Association of Oil Pipelines ``Shifts in Petroleum
Transportation'' report is based, in part, on this survey. BEA
currently uses this FERC information indirectly through the VPIP
program and the trade association, and it is considered an
indispensable data source to the NIPA estimates and Industry Accounts
estimates.''
    FERC's response: The Commission is appreciative of BEA's continued
support for the Commission's information collection programs.
    ACTION: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current FERC Form No. 6 and FERC Form No. 6Q requirements, with no
changes.
    Burden Statement: The estimated annual public reporting burdens and
the associated public costs follow.1 2

    \1\ These figures may not be exact, due to rounding and/or
truncating.
    \2\ Order 620 in Docket No. RM99-10 (issued 12/13/2000,
available at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/common/opennat.asp?fileID=8370177) established filing thresholds. The
filing thresholds for filing all or part of the FERC-6 are based on
the filer's annual jurisdictional operating revenues, for each of
the three previous calendar years:
     File complete Form 6: Revenues $500,000 or more
     File only Pages 1, 301, and 700: Revenues more than
$350,000 but less than $500,000
     File only Pages 1 and 700: Revenues of $350,000 or
less.
    See the instructions at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/forms/form-6/form-6.pdf for more information.
    The estimated annual totals for all filers completing all or
part of the FERC-6 are: 166 filers and 26,657 hours, for a cost of
$1,767,092.

    The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
    The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information will have
practical utility;
