    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Arkansas resulting from a severe winter storm during the period
of December 25-26, 2012, is of sufficient severity and magnitude to
warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the

supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA-8039]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), that are scheduled for suspension on the effective
dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the
floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation proving the
community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior
to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension
will not occur and a notice will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of each community's scheduled
suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third column of
the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or obtain
additional information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under
the NFIP, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an appropriate public body
adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed in this document no longer
meet the statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations,
44 CFR part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. However, some of these
communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of legally
enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is published
but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities will not be
suspended and will continue their eligibility for the sale of
insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of the communities will
be published in the Federal Register.
    Previously, FEMA identified the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs)
in these communities by publishing a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may
legally be provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in
identified SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and
identified for more than a year, on the FEMA initial flood insurance
map of the community as having flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended).
This prohibition against certain types of Federal assistance becomes
effective for the communities listed on the date shown in the last
column. The Administrator finds the notice and public comment under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary because the communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating the community
will be suspended unless the required floodplain management measures
are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined this
rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply with the
statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the communities unless remedial action
takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57598; File No. SR-BSE-2008-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Position and Exercise Limits on the Boston Options Exchange
Facility

April 1, 2008.
    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 March 18, 2008, the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or
``BSE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange.
The Exchange has designated this proposal as non-controversial under
section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposed rule change effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the rules of the Boston Options
Exchange (``BOX'') to increase the position and exercise limits
applicable to options on the DIAMONDS Trust, Series 1 (``DIA''). The
text of the rule proposal is available on the Exchange's Web site
(http://www.bostonstock.com), at the offices of the Exchange, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange is proposing to amend the BOX rules pertaining to
position and exercise limits for options on DIA. The Exchange proposes
to increase position and exercise limits for options on DIA to 300,000
contracts on the same side of the market. The Commission previously
approved a similar proposal of the Chicago Board Options Exchange
(``CBOE'').\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47346 (February 11,
2003) 68 FR 8316 (February 20, 2003) (SR-CBOE-2002-26) (approving an
increase in the position limits and exercise limits to 300,000 for
DIA options). The Commission stated that ``given the surveillance
capabilities of the [CBOE] and the depth and liquidity in both the
DIA options and the underlying cash market in DIAs, the Commission
believes it is permissible to significantly raise position and
exercise limits for DIA options without risk of disruption to the
options or underlying cash markets.'' The Commission also stated
that ``financial and reporting requirements * * * should allow
[CBOE] to detect and deter trading abuses arising from the increased
position and exercise limits, and will also allow [CBOE] to monitor
large positions in order to identify instances of potential risk and
to assess additional margin and/or capital charges, if deemed
necessary.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also recently made permanent its increased position
and exercise limits for certain equity options on BOX, which were in
effect on a pilot basis.\6\ The Exchange stipulated, as part of its
proposal for such permanent approval, that ``its surveillance
procedures and reporting procedures, in conjunction with the financial
requirements and risk management review procedures already in place at
the clearing firms and the Options Clearing Corporation, [would] serve
to adequately address any concerns the Commission may have with respect
to account(s) engaging in any manipulative schemes or assuming too high
a level of risk exposure.'' \7\ These representations also apply to the
current proposal to increase the position and exercise limits for
options on DIA. The Exchange now seeks to increase the position and
exercise limits for options on DIA on BOX to the level that such limits
are in effect on CBOE (300,000 contracts on the same side of the
market).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57414 (March 3,
2008) 73 FR 12481 (March 7, 2008) (SR-BSE-2008-12).
    \7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange asserts that the justifications behind the
Commission's approval of CBOE's proposal should support the same
increased position and exercise limits on options on DIA on BOX.
Specifically, the Exchange believes that the ``structure of the DIA
options and the considerable liquidity of both the underlying cash and
options market for DIA options lessen the opportunity for manipulation
of this product and disruption in the underlying market that a lower
position limit may protect against.'' \8\ The Exchange believes that
the reporting requirements imposed under the BOX rules will help
protect against potential manipulation.\9\ Additionally, the Exchange
believes that such an increase in position and exercise limits on
options on DIA on BOX is also required for competitive purposes as well
as for purposes of consistency and uniformity among the competing
options exchanges. This, taken in conjunction with the permanent
establishment of other increased position and exercise limits for
certain equity options on BOX,\10\ supports the Exchange's proposal
related to such increased position and exercise limits applicable to
DIA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47346, supra note 5.
    \9\ See BOX Rules, Ch. III, Sec. 10.
    \10\ See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57414, supra
note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of section 6(b) of the Act \11\ in general, and section
6(b)(5) of the Act \12\ in particular, in that it is 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. Specifically,
the Exchange believes that the structure of the DIA options and the
considerable liquidity of the market for DIA options diminishes the
opportunity for manipulation of this product and disruption in the
underlying market that a lower position limit may protect against.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has designated the proposed rule change as one that:
(1) Does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the
public interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on
competition; and (3) does not become operative for 30 days from the
date of filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to
section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and

subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\14\ The Exchange notes
that the proposed rule change is based on a similar proposal previously
approved by the Commission,\15\ and does not raise any novel issues.
Additionally, the Exchange asserts that the proposed rule change is
necessary to eliminate any confusion among members of multiple
exchanges regarding position and exercise limits applicable to options
on DIA and for purposes of maintaining a fair and orderly market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written 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. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47346, supra note
5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the operative delay
to permit the proposed rule change to become operative prior to the
30th day after filing. The Exchange states that waiving the operative
delay will allow the proposed increase in the position and exercise
limits applicable to options on DIA on BOX to be put into effect
immediately, which will align BOX's DIA limits with the DIA limits
applicable to members of other options exchange(s), thereby promoting
conformity and uniformity in the rules of the several options
exchanges.
    The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay of
the Exchange's proposal is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest.\16\ Therefore, the Commission designates the
proposal to be operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission 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 may summarily abrogate the 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

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance with certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

Sunflour Railroad Inc./Denver Rock Island Railroad

[Docket Number FRA-2003-15513]

    The Sunflour Railroad Inc./Denver Rock Island Railroad (SNR) of
Commerce City, Colorado, has petitioned for a permanent waiver of
compliance for one locomotive (SNR 61) from the requirements of the
Railroad Safety Glazing Standards, Title 49 CFR Part 223, which require
certified glazing in all windows. The locomotive is equipped with
automotive type safety glass that is in good condition with no
discoloration. SNR operates over 26.3 miles of excepted track in
primarily rural territory at speeds not exceeding 10 miles per hour.
There has been no instances of vandalism from the time the original
waiver was granted in 2003. As stated in their original petition for
waiver in 2003, SNR states that the expense of retrofitting the
locomotive to comply with FRA Safety Glazing Standards would impose an
undue financial burden on the company to protect against situations
they do not encounter.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.

Amendment 39-16125; AD 2009-25-06]

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    * * * [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88). * * * Under this regulation, all holders of type
certificates for passenger transport aeroplane * * * are required to
conduct a design review against explosion risks.
    One of the consequences of the Airbus design review is the
modification of the fuel pump wiring to provide protection against
chafing of the fuel pump cables. This condition, if not corrected,
could generate short circuits leading to fuel pump failure and
arcing. These could become a potential ignition source inside the
fuel tank which, in combination with flammable fuel vapours (if
present), could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss
of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, EASA [European Aviation Safety
Agency] issued AD 2007-0066 that required this modification [of the
fuel pump against short circuit] in accordance with Airbus Service
Bulletin (SB) A300-24-0103 Revision 01. Airbus subsequently
introduced an additional modification of the electrical wiring of
the outer fuel pump and the landing lights of the left (LH) and the
right (RH) side in Revision 02 of the SB A300-24-0103, leading to
the issuance of EASA AD 2008-0188 which superseded EASA AD 2007-0066
and required the additional work.
    More recently, Airbus introduced some additional protection to
routes 1P and 2P harnesses in zone 571 and 671 of the aeroplane.
* * * * *

    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective January 8, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 8,
2010.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified
products. That supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register
on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31896), and proposed to supersede AD 2007-18-02,
Amendment 39-15182 (72 FR 49175, August 28, 2007). That supplemental
NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Further to the accident of a Boeing 747-131 (flight TWA800), the
FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation Regulation 88).
Subsequently, the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) recommended the
application of a similar regulation to the National Aviation
Authorities (NAA) of its member countries. Under this regulation,
all holders of type certificates for passenger transport aeroplane
with either a passenger capacity of 30 or more, or a payload
capacity of 3,402 kg (7,500 lbs) or more which have received their
certification after 01 January 1958, are required to conduct a
design review against explosion risks.
    One of the consequences of the Airbus design review is the
modification of the fuel pump wiring to provide protection against
chafing of the fuel pump cables. This condition, if not corrected,
could generate short circuits leading to fuel pump failure and
arcing. These could become a potential ignition source inside the
fuel tank which, in combination with flammable fuel vapours (if
present), could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss
of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, EASA [European Aviation Safety
Agency] issued AD 2007-0066 that required this modification in
accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin (SB) A300-24-0103 Revision
01. Airbus subsequently introduced an additional modification of the
electrical wiring of the outer fuel pump and the landing lights of
the left (LH) and the right (RH) side in Revision 02 of the SB A300-
24-0103, leading to the issuance of EASA AD 2008-0188 which
superseded EASA AD 2007-0066 and required the additional work.
    More recently, Airbus introduced some additional protection to
routes 1P and 2P harnesses in zone 571 and 671 of the aeroplane.
    For the reason described above, this new AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2008-0188, which is superseded, and requires
the additional work as specified in Revision 03 of Airbus SB A300-
24-0103.

    The additional modification will provide additional protection from
chafing and will prevent intermittent operation of the fuel pump and
landing lights, as well as failure of the power supply. The
modification of the wiring of the outer fuel pump and the landing light
on the LH side route 1P harness and RH side route 2P harness includes
additional mechanical protection that includes procedures for
installing new splicing on the wires, a new cable type, shrink sleeve
installation on the new wiring, and an additional braided conduit
sleeve (Halar), as applicable, for the fuel pumps and the landing
lights. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the
AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Refer to Updated MCAI

    Airbus requests that we refer to the latest EASA AD 2009-0157,
dated July 17, 2009 (which was issued after the FAA supplemental NPRM
was published), to require the additional work provided in Airbus
Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February
18, 2009. The supplemental NPRM referred to Airbus Mandatory Service
Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February 18, 2009, as the
appropriate source of service information for the required actions.
Airbus further requests that we review the supplemental NPRM in light
of the new EASA AD to qualify current requirements depending on the

airplane configuration, as specified in the latest EASA AD.
    We agree to refer to the latest EASA AD because it refers to the
revised service information. However, we do not agree that it is
necessary to revise the supplemental NPRM to qualify the requirements
based on different configurations. Paragraph (g) of this AD requires
that work be accomplished in accordance with Airbus Mandatory Service
Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February 18, 2009. The
service bulletin specifies the different configurations and
corresponding actions so there is no need to change the AD. Therefore,
we have not changed the AD in regard to this issue.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 13 products of U.S.
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2007-18-02 and retained in this
AD take about 72 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of
$80 per work hour. Required parts cost about $5,050 per product. Based
on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required actions
is $10,810 per product.
    We estimate that it will take about 42 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $4,100 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $96,980, or $7,460 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

    We determined that 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 this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-15182 (72 FR
49175, August 28, 2007) and adding the following new AD:

2009-25-06 Airbus: Amendment 39-16125. Docket No. FAA-2009-0055;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-194-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective January
8, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-18-02, Amendment 39-15182.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, A300 B2-203,
A300 B2K-3C, A300 B4-103, A300 B4-203, and A300 B4-2C airplanes,
certificated in any category, as identified in Airbus Mandatory
Service Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February 18, 2009.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24:
Electrical power.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Further to the accident of a Boeing 747-131 (flight TWA800), the
FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation Regulation 88).
Subsequently, the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) recommended the
application of a similar regulation to the National Aviation
Authorities (NAA) of its member countries. Under this regulation,
all holders of type certificates for passenger transport aeroplane
with either a passenger capacity of 30 or more, or a payload
capacity of 3 402 kg (7,500 lbs) or more which have received their
certification after 01 January 1958, are required to conduct a
design review against explosion risks.
    One of the consequences of the Airbus design review is the
modification of the fuel

pump wiring to provide protection against chafing of the fuel pump
cables. This condition, if not corrected, could generate short
circuits leading to fuel pump failure and arcing. These could become
a potential ignition source inside the fuel tank which, in
combination with flammable fuel vapours (if present), could result
in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, EASA [European Aviation Safety
Agency] issued AD 2007-0066 that required this modification in
accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin (SB) A300-24-0103 Revision
01. Airbus subsequently introduced an additional modification of the
electrical wiring of the outer fuel pump and the landing lights of
the left (LH) and the right (RH) side in Revision 02 of the SB A300-
24-0103, leading to the issuance of EASA AD 2008-0188 which
superseded EASA AD 2007-0066 and required the additional work.
    More recently, Airbus introduced some additional protection to
routes 1P and 2P harnesses in zone 571 and 671 of the aeroplane.
    For the reason described above, this new AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2008-0188, which is superseded, and requires
the additional work as specified in Revision 03 of Airbus SB A300-
24-0103.

    The additional modification will provide additional protection
from chafing and will prevent intermittent operation of the fuel
pump and landing lights, as well as failure of the power supply. The
modification of the wiring of the outer fuel pump and the landing
light on the LH side route 1P harness and RH side route 2P harness
includes additional mechanical protection that includes procedures
for installing new splicing on the wires, a new cable type, shrink
sleeve installation on the new wiring, and an additional braided
conduit sleeve (Halar), as applicable, for the fuel pumps and the
landing lights.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2007-18-02, With Revised Service
Information

    (f) Within 31 months after October 2, 2007 (the effective date
of AD 2007-18-02), unless already done, modify the inner and outer
fuel pump wiring, route 1P and 2P harnesses in the LH (left-hand)
wing and in the RH (right-hand) wing, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-0103,
Revision 01, dated January 11, 2007; or Airbus Mandatory Service
Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February 18, 2009. After
the effective date of this AD, use only Airbus Mandatory Service
Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February 18, 2009. Actions
done before October 2, 2007, in accordance with Airbus Service
Bulletin A300-24-0103, dated March 15, 2006, for airplanes under
configuration 1 as defined in Airbus Service Bulletin A300-24-0103,
Revision 01, dated January 11, 2007; Revision 02, dated April 4,
2008; or Revision 03, dated February 18, 2009; are acceptable for
compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.

New Requirements of This AD

Actions and Compliance

    (g) Unless already done, within 12 months after the effective
date of this AD, modify the wiring of the outer fuel pump and the
landing light on the LH side route 1P harness and RH side route 2P
harness in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus
Mandatory Service Bulletin A300-24-0103, Revision 03, dated February
18, 2009.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62846; File No. SR-EDGX-2010-12]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Amendments to the EDGX Exchange, Inc. Fee Schedule

September 3, 2010.
    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 August 31, 2010, the EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
the ``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which items have been prepared by the 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\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its fees and rebates applicable to
Members \3\ of the Exchange pursuant to EDGX Rule 15.1(a) and (c) to
(i) add a price guarantee to footnote 1 of its fee schedule; and (ii)
make other technical amendments to its fee schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A Member is any registered broker or dealer that has been
admitted to membership in the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All of the changes described herein are applicable to EDGX Members.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.directedge.com, on the Commission's Web
site at http://www.sec.gov, 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 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
    The Exchange proposes to make several amendments to its fee
schedule. First, it proposes to add a price guarantee to footnote 1 of
the schedule. This guarantee would state that ``Any Member meeting the
following criteria: (i) Adding 10,000,000 shares or more of liquidity
to EDGX, (ii) where such added liquidity on EDGX is at least 5,000,000
shares greater than the previous calendar month; and (iii) but for the
liquidity added on EDGX, such Member would have qualified for a better
rebate with respect to liquidity added on another exchange or ECN that
the Member previously qualified for in the three calendar months prior
to meeting the above-described criteria in (i) and (ii), shall be
reimbursed the difference between the rebate received and the rebate
potentially received, so long as source documentation evidencing the
above is provided to the Exchange within fifteen (15) calendar days
from the end of the relevant month. A Member can only receive
reimbursement with respect to two consecutive calendar months. With
respect to the second calendar month's reimbursement, the relevant
period in determining whether criteria (iii) is satisfied is the period
three calendar months prior to the first of the two consecutive
calendar months the Member meets the above-described criteria in (i)
and (ii).''
    The Exchange believes that the price guarantee, as described above,
is equitable in that it is available to all Members migrating volumes
to the Exchange. Furthermore, the price guarantee limits the increase
in a Members' execution costs associating with failing to meet the
volume thresholds of other exchanges and ECNs while a Member is in the
process of migrating volumes from one exchange to another. The Exchange
believes that the difficulty in transitioning volume has incentivized
Members to leave volume on certain exchanges and ECNs rather than
incurring the costs of migrating volumes to the Exchange. By
facilitating

the migration of volumes in the short term through this guarantee, the
Exchange minimizes the cost of Members pursuing the most economic
execution cost model. The resulting migration of Members' volumes to
the Exchange will reduce the fixed costs associated with the Exchange
supporting its overall volumes and reduce costs on a per share basis.
This will, in turn, facilitate the Exchange's ability to maintain lower
transactional costs for all Members.
    Secondly, the Exchange proposes to make a technical amendment to
the schedule. The Exchange proposes to delete references in footnote 1
that describe how certain volume thresholds were pro-rated for the
month of July 2010 as these descriptions are no longer relevant.
    EDGX Exchange proposes to implement these amendments to the
Exchange fee schedule on September 1, 2010.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\4\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\5\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its members and other persons using its
facilities. The Exchange notes that it operates in a highly competitive
market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to
competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be
excessive. The proposed rule change reflects a competitive pricing
structure designed to incent market participants to direct their order
flow to the Exchange. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the
price guarantee, as described above, facilitates the migration of
volumes to the Exchange by subsidizing the cost of migrating volumes to
the Exchange. Finally, the Exchange believes that the proposed rates
are equitable in that they apply uniformly to all Members. The Exchange
believes the fees and credits remain competitive with those charged by
other venues and therefore continue to be reasonable and equitably
allocated to those members that opt to direct orders to the Exchange
rather than competing venues.

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

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

    The proposed rule change does not 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 Regarding 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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \7\ thereunder. At any
time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.
