BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


Meigs County Technical Support Documentation Summary Meigs County has a land area of 195 square miles and is on the western fringe of the Valley and Ridge physiographic province of the East Grand Division of the State. The predominate wind direction and speed is from the south at 7 to 10 knots.

For the 2001 2003 monitoring period, the ozone monitor 471210104  1 located in Meigs County shows an 8 hour design value of 0.088 parts per million ( ppm) which would be classified as nonattainment.

Based on projections to 2002 from the 2000 census data, there are 11,310 persons living in Meigs County. This indicates a population density of 58 persons per square mile. The population of Meigs County is 100% rural. The largest cities in Meigs County are Decatur. The population is expected to increase by 4% between 2000 and 2010. Based on the 2002 population data for the entire Chattanooga MSA and Meigs County, Meigs County represents approximately 2% of the total Chattanooga MSA population.

Point source NOX emissions from Meigs County were estimated at 0.04 ton/ day in 1999 which represents less than one percent of the 20.36 ton/ day of overall NOX point source emissions from the Chattanooga MSA. Point source VOC emissions were estimated at 0.59 ton/ day in 1999 which represents approximately 1% of the 62.65 ton/ day of overall VOC point source emissions from the Chattanooga MSA.

For NOX and VOC control, point sources located within Meigs County are subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration ( PSD) requirements, Control Technology Guideline Reasonable Available Control Technology ( CTG RACT) requirements, Maximum Achievable Control Technology ( MACT) requirements for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( HAP), and New Source Performance Standards ( NSPS).

Mobile source NOX emissions from Meigs County were estimated at 1.29 ton/ day in 1999 which represents approximately 1% of the 100.31 ton/ day of overall NOX mobile source emissions from the Chattanooga MSA. VOC emissions were estimated at 1.80 ton/ day in 1999 which represents approximately 4% of the 45.94 ton/ day of overall VOC mobile source emissions from the Chattanooga MSA. Commuting traffic from surrounding counties into Meigs County is minimal. Commuting traffic from Meigs County into surrounding counties is significant.

Meigs County presents a unique situation. The Meigs County ozone monitor, located in the southwest corner of the county suggests a possible nonattainment area with a reading of 0.088 ppm for the 2001 2003 ( tentative ozone data). Similarly, there are virtually no stationary NOX or VOC sources in the county. Another factor making this a particularly unique situation is the shape of the county. A long and narrow county trending northeast to southwest, some of Meigs County is far removed from the urban area of Chattanooga. Preliminary information suggests that a division at or near the Hiwassee River may be the best geo political boundary for a partial county recommendation of nonattainment with the remainder of the county being attainment. The air monitor in Meigs County is located at the county line adjacent to Hamilton County. For this reason the area southwest of the Hiwassee River may be the portion of Meigs County designated nonattainment.

their designated C2 Client Application and a CAS.
    By way of background, C2 Permit Holders currently enter quotes and
orders into a CAS via Client Applications. For purposes of this
discussion, a ``Client Application'' is the system component, such as a
Permit Holder's custom trading application, through which a Permit
Holder communicates its quotes and/or orders to a CAS,\3\ which sits
between the Client Application and CBOE Command. Messages are passed
between a Client Application and a CAS. The quotes a Market-Maker
enters on the Exchange may be sent by a Market-Maker from one or more
Client Applications. Similarly, the orders a Permit Holder enters on
the Exchange may be sent by the Permit Holders from one or more Client
Applications. When a CAS loses communication with a Client Application
such that the CAS does not receive an appropriate response to a
Heartbeat Request within ``x'' period of time (``Heartbeat Response
Time''), the Technical Disconnect Mechanism will automatically logoff
the Permit Holder's affected Client Application and, if applicable,
will automatically cancel any Market-Maker quotes posted through the
affected Client Application. For purposes of this rule, a ``Heartbeat
Request'' refers to a message from a CAS to a Client Application to
check connectivity and which requires a response from the Client
Application in order to avoid logoff. The Heartbeat Request acts as a
virtual pulse between a CAS and a Client Application and allows a CAS
to continually monitor its connection with a Client Application.
Failure to receive a response to a Heartbeat Request within the
Heartbeat Response Time is indicative of a technical or system issue.
This function of automatically logging off a Client Application, and if
applicable automatically cancelling Market-Maker quotes posted through
the affected Client Application, when there is no response to a
Heartbeat Request within the Heartbeat Response Time is intended to
help to mitigate the potential risks associated with a loss of
communication with a Client Application (e.g., erroneous or unintended
executions due to stale quotes that remained in the C2 Book). This
serves to assist a Permit Holder when such a technical or system issue
occurs, and also assist the Exchange in maintaining a fair and orderly
market generally.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ C2 currently has numerous CASs serving Permit Holders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A CAS will generate a Heartbeat Request to a Client Application
after a specified interval (``Heartbeat Interval'' or `` `n' period of
time''). Additionally as noted above, a CAS will disconnect a Client
Application, and if applicable cancel any Market-Maker quotes posted
through the affect Client Application, after a specified period of time
if it does not receive an appropriate response to a Heartbeat Request
(Heartbeat Response Time or `` `x' period of time''). The Exchange
notes that the Heartbeat Interval and the Heartbeat Response Time
depend upon the Application Programming Interface (``API'') a Permit
Holder is using.\4\ Currently, the Exchange offers two APIs: CBOE
Market Interface (``CMi'') API and Financial Information eXchange
(``FIX'') Protocol. CMi currently has only one version available: CMi
2. A Permit Holder may determine which of the available APIs, and if
applicable, which version, it would like to use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ An API is a computer interface that allows market
participants with authorized access to interface electronically with
the Exchange. Multiple versions of each API may exist and other APIs
may be supported from time-to-time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, a CAS on the CMi 2 API will generate a Heartbeat Request to
a Client Application (i) after the CAS does not receive any messages
from a particular Client Application for ``n'' period of time or (ii)
after every ``n'' period of time. A Permit Holder using CMi 2 will
determine whether Heartbeat Requests are generated every ``n'' period
of time or only if no messages are received for ``n'' period of time. A
Permit Holder using the CMi 2 API will also determine the value of
``n'' at logon. In no event shall ``n'' be less than three (3) seconds
or exceed twenty (20) seconds. If a CAS generates a Heartbeat Request
only after it does not receive any messages from a particular Client
Application for ``n'' period of time, the value of ``x'' (Heartbeat
Response Time) will be set at a half (.5) second. If a CAS generates a
Heartbeat Request every ``n'' period of time, the value of ``x'' shall
be equal to the value of ``n.'' For example, if a Permit Holder using
CMi 2 chooses to receive a Heartbeat Request every ``n'' period of time
and sets the value of ``n'' to 6 seconds, then the Permit Holder's
Client Application must respond to a Heartbeat Request within 6 seconds
or the Client Application will be disconnected.
    A CAS on the FIX API will generate a Heartbeat Message to a Client
Application after the CAS does not receive any messages from a
particular Client Application for ``n'' period of time. If the CAS does
not receive a response to the ``Heartbeat Message'' from the Client
Application for ``n'' period of time, the CAS shall generate a
Heartbeat Request to the Client Application. For purposes of this rule,
a ``Heartbeat Message'' refers to a message from a CAS to a Client
Application to check connectivity. Failure to respond to a Heartbeat
Message within ``n'' period of time will trigger the generation of a
Heartbeat Request. A Permit Holder using the FIX API will determine the
value of ``n'' at logon. In no event shall ``n'' be less than five (5)
seconds. The value of ``x'' (Heartbeat Response Time) will be set equal
to the value of ``n.'' For example, if a Permit Holder using FIX sets
the value of ``n'' to 6 seconds, then the Permit Holder's Client
Application must respond to a Heartbeat Request within 6 seconds or the
Client Application will be disconnected.
    The following example illustrates the manner in which the Technical
Disconnect Mechanism functions on CMi 2 when a Permit Holder chooses to
have the CAS generate a Heartbeat Request every ``n'' period of time.
For purposes of this example only, the Permit Holder will be a non-
Market-Maker and ``n'' will be set by the Permit Holder at 5 seconds:

(1) 10:00:000--Heartbeat Request sent to Client Application after logon
    10:00:020--CAS receives a message from Client Application
    10:00:050--Heartbeat Request sent to Client Application
    10:00:100--No response to Heartbeat Request received by CAS within
5 seconds
    -- Client Application automatically logged off and pending orders
previously entered from the Client Application remain in the System
    The following examples illustrate the manner in which the Technical
Disconnect Mechanism functions on CMi 2 when a Permit Holder chooses to
have the CAS generate a Heartbeat Request only when the CAS does not
receive any messages from the Client Application for ``n'' period of
time. For purposes of these examples only, the Permit Holder will be a
Market-Maker

and ``n'' will be set by the Permit Holder at 5 seconds:

(1) 10:00:000--Heartbeat Request sent to Client Application after logon
    10:00:020--CAS receives a message from Client Application
    --Counter re-starts
    10:00:070--No messages received from Client Application within 5
seconds
    --CAS generates Heartbeat Request
    10:00:073--CAS receives a message from Client Application
    -- Counter restarts

(2) 10:00:000--Heartbeat Request sent to Client Application within
login
    10:00:020--CAS receives a message from Client Application
    --Counter re-starts
    10:00:070--No messages received from Client Application within 5
seconds
    --CAS generates Heartbeat Request
    10:00:075--No messages received from Client Application within a .5
second
    --Client Application automatically logged off and pending Market-
Maker quotes previously entered from the Client Application
automatically canceled
    Lastly, the following example illustrates the manner in which the
Technical Disconnect Mechanism functions on FIX. For purposes of this
example only, the Permit Holder will be a Market-Maker and ``n'' will
be set by the Permit Holder at 5 seconds:

(1) 10:00:000--Heartbeat Request sent to Client Application after logon
    10:00:020--CAS receives a message from Client Application
    --Counter restarts
    10:00:070--No messages received from Client Application within 5
seconds
    --CAS generates Heartbeat Message
    10:00:120--No messages received from Client Application within 5
seconds
    --CAS generates Heartbeat Request
    10:00:170--No messages received from Client Application within 5
seconds
    --Client Application automatically logged off and pending Market-
Maker quotes previously entered from the Client Application
automatically canceled
    As demonstrated above, a Heartbeat Request may be generated (i)
every ``n'' period of time or (ii) when the CAS does not receive any
messages from a Client Application for a specified period of time
(``n'' period of time) depending upon the API being used. Regardless of
the API being used however, if an appropriate response message to a
Heartbeat Request is not received by the CAS from the Client
Application within a specified period of time (``x'' period of time or
Heartbeat Response Time), the Technical Disconnect Mechanism is
triggered and the Client Application is automatically logged off and,
if applicable, a Market-Maker's quotes through that Client Application
are automatically canceled.
    The Exchange notes that any non-connectivity is event- and Client
Application-specific. Therefore, the cancellation of a Market-Maker's
quotes entered into a CAS via a particular Client Application will
neither impact nor determine the treatment of the quotes of the same or
other Market-Makers entered into a CAS via a separate and distinct
Client Application. The Technical Disconnect Mechanism will not impact
or determine the treatment of orders previously entered into a CAS. As
discussed above, the function of automatically cancelling a Market-
Maker's quotes posted through an affected Client Application is
intended to help to mitigate the potential risks associated with a loss
of communication with a Client Application. For example, in today's
market, Market-Makers' quotes are rapidly changing and can have a
lifespan of only milliseconds. Additionally, under the System, trades
are automatically affected against the Market-Maker's then current
quote. Therefore, if a Permit Holder's Client Application is
disconnected for any period of time, it is very possible that any
quotes posted through that Client Application would be stale by the
time the Permit Holder reestablished connectivity. Consequently, any
resulting execution of such quotes is more likely to be erroneous or
unintended. Conversely, the Exchange notes that orders tend to be
static in nature and often rest in the book. Indeed, certain order
types, such as Market-on-Close orders, are intended to rest in the book
for a period of time. As such, there is a lower risk of erroneous or
unintended executions resulting from orders that remained in the System
during and after an affected Client Application was logged off.
    The Exchange next notes that the CAS will send a logout message to
an affected Client Application that confirms that the Client
Application connection has been terminated. Once connectivity to the
Client Application is reestablished, a Market-Maker affected by the
mechanism is able to send messages to the CAS to reestablish the
Market-Maker's quotes. Any Market-Maker affected by the Technical
Disconnect Mechanism is not relieved of its obligation to provide
continuous electronic quotes in accordance with the Exchange rules.\5\
The Exchange finally notes that the Technical Disconnect Mechanism is
enabled for all Permit Holders and may not be disabled by Permit
Holders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See C2 Rule 8.5, C2 Rule 8.13 and C2 Rule 8.17.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that while information relating to
connectivity and the Technical Disconnect Mechanism are already
available to Permit Holders via technical specifications, codifying
this information within the rule text will provide additional
transparency and further reduce potential confusion.
 2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\6\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \7\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
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 regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and 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. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \8\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers. In particular, the Exchange believes that
codifying in the rules how the Technical Disconnect Mechanism works
provides additional transparency in the rules and provides an
additional avenue to easily understand C2's system and processes. The
Exchange believes this will also reduce any potential confusion,
thereby removing a potential impediment to and perfecting the mechanism
for a free and open market and a national market system, and, in
general, protecting investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Technical Disconnect Mechanism is a valuable tool that is designed
to help maintain a fair and orderly market. The Exchange believes that
the Technical Disconnect

Mechanism assists with the maintenance of fair and orderly markets by
helping to mitigate the potential risks associated with a loss in
communication with a Client Application, especially risk associated
with a loss in communication with a Client Application of Market-Maker
that is providing quotes across a multitude of series and classes. The
Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is designed to not
permit unfair discrimination among market participants. The Exchange
notes that the Technical Disconnect Mechanism automatic logoff function
is applicable to all Permit Holders and may not be disabled by any
Permit Holder. The Exchange believes that the Technical Disconnect
Mechanism benefits the marketplace because it is designed to help alert
a Permit Holder to a potential technical or system issue and
automatically logoff a Permit Holder's Client Application within
certain prescribed parameters. With respect to the Technical Disconnect
Mechanism's automatic cancellation of Market-Maker quotes, the Exchange
also believes it is not unfair to cancel only Market-Maker quotes and
not orders. Particularly, the automatic cancellation of Market-Maker
quotes benefits the marketplace because it is designed to help reduce
the risk of stale quotes remaining on the C2 Book in the event that a
CAS loses connectivity with a Client Application (e.g., potentially
resulting in erroneous or unintended executions). Furthermore, the
functionality provides for the protection of Market-Makers, who must
bear the burden of market risk for stale quotes well as for the
protection of investors and the efficiency and fairness of the markets
as a whole. Conversely, because orders tend to be static in nature and
often rest in the book, the Exchange believes there is a lower risk of
erroneous and unintended executions resulting from orders that remain
in the System during and after an affected Client Application is logged
off. The Exchange believes this functionality enhances the overall
market quality for options traded on C2.

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

    C2 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. Specifically, the Exchange does
not believe the proposed rule change will cause any burden on
intramarket competition because it applies to all Permit Holders. Even
though the functionality treats Market-Makers' quotes differently than
orders, the Exchange notes again that it believes that the Technical
Disconnect Mechanism benefits all market participants because it
reduces the risk of stale quotes on the C2 Book, which can result in
erroneous or unintended trades. Further, the Exchange does not believe
that such change will impose any burden on intermarket competition that
is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the
Act. The Exchange notes that, should the proposed changes make C2 more
attractive for trading, market participants trading on other exchanges
are welcome to become Permit Holders and trade at C2 if they determine
that this proposed rule change has made C2 more attractive or
favorable.

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

    The Exchange 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 foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \10\
thereunder. 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 will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on August 2, 2005

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2005-20717

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

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).

Applicant:  DHL International B.S.C.					Date Filed:  March 21, 2005

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 to engage in
scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between
Bahrain, on the one hand, and New York, New York, on the other hand, via
Brussels, Belgium and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.  The applicant would
conduct these services only by wet leasing aircraft from a duly
authorized and properly supervised U.S. or foreign air carrier.

If renewal, date and citation of last action:  New authority

Applicant representative:  Bruce H. Rabinovitz<PHONE_NUMBER>

DOT Analyst:  Shelita A. Smith<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  None filed

DISPOSITION

Action:  Approved							Action date:  August 2, 2005

Effective dates of exemption authority granted:  August 2, 2005 –
August 2, 2007

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity):  Air Transport
Agreement between the United States and Bahrain

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the
terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

   X   Standard exemption conditions (attached)                Foreign
air carrier permit   (Order            )

Special conditions/Partial grant/Denial basis/Remarks: Based on the
record in this case, we found that DHL International is financially and
operationally qualified to perform the services above.  However, due to
the involvement of non-homeland citizens in the ownership and control of
DHL International, the record in this case does not permit us to make
definitive findings that DHL International is substantially owned and
effectively controlled by homeland nationals.  The record indicates that
DHL International is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche
Post AG (DP), a German public company.  The government of the Federal
Republic of Germany is the largest single shareholder in DP, owning
directly approximately 7% of the outstanding voting shares and another
49% indirectly through Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau.  DP owns DHL
International through a series of intermediate holding companies.  In
addition, DHL International states that its eight-member board of
directors consists of three New Zealand citizens, two Australian
citizens, one British, one Canadian and one South African citizen.  In
spite of the fact that we are unable to find that DHL International is
substantially owned and effectively controlled by homeland nationals, we
find it appropriate to waive our ownership and control requirements.
The carrier is properly licensed and designated by the Government of
Bahrain to perform the proposed services, and there is no evidence on
the record which would suggest that the ownership of the carrier in the
specific circumstances presented, would be inimical to U.S. aviation
policy or interests.

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) the applicant is qualified to perform the
proposed operations; (2) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) 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/deferred/dismissed, we denied

all requests in the referenced Docket.  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.

respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: (a)  based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

(9)  Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the

governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

(11) Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and
limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department, with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S.
agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

This authority shall not be effective during any period when the holder
is not in compliance with the conditions imposed above.  Moreover, this
authority cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without explicit
Department approval under Title 49 of the U.S. Code.

 DHL International noted that one of its aircraft has been involved in
an accident over Germany in 2002.  The applicant has advised that the
accident was investigated by the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft
Accidents Investigation (BFU), and that the Investigation Report issued
by the BFU did not recommend that any enforcement actions be taken
against DHL International.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. RM98-1-000]

Records Governing Off-the-Record Communications; Public Notice

    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).

    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently
received by the Secretary of the Commission. The communications listed
are grouped by docket numbers in ascending order. These filings are
available for electronic review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket number,
