Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0219; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-46-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada PW206A, PW206B,
PW206B2, PW206C, PW206E, PW207C, PW207D, and PW207E Turboshaft Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    PW206 and PW207 compressor turbine (CT) disc bore areas may
experience impact damage resulting from bending or fracture of the
CT disc retaining nut. Damage of the CT disc bore area can reduce
LCF capabilities of the CT disc, resulting in disc fracture.

We are proposing this AD to prevent damage to the CT disc bore area,
which could result in possible uncontained failure of the engine and
damage to the helicopter.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 25, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov and follow the instructions for sending your
comments electronically.

Discussion

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation safety authority for
Canada, has issued AD CF-2007-24R1, dated December 21, 2007, (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI'') to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    PW206 and PW207 compressor turbine (CT) disc bore areas may
experience impact damage resulting from bending or fracture of the
CT disc retaining nut. Damage of the CT disc bore area can reduce
LCF capabilities of the CT disc, resulting in disc fracture.

Under high centrifugal loads, the CT disk retaining nut castellations
might bend outward, then contact and mark the CT disk internal bore.
Worldwide, a total of 5 events of CT nut damage and associated damage
to the CT disk bore have been reported. A total of 195 out of 402
engines in the U.S. fleet have been inspected, with two cases of CT nut
damage and no findings of disk damage, to date. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    PWC has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) PW200-72-A28280,
Revision 4, dated August 28, 2007. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of Canada,
and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with Canada, they have notified us of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced
above. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all information
provided by Canada and determined the unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
This proposed AD would require (1) inspecting the CT disc bore area for
damage and if any damage is noticed, replacing the CT disc before
further flight; and (2) replacing the existing CT disc retaining nut
and associated hardware.

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the MCAI

    Although the MCAI allows use of future revisions of PWC ASB PW200-
72-A28280, we require the use of Revision 4 of that ASB.
    Although the MCAI has a March 21, 2008 compliance date, we have a
December 21, 2008 compliance date, based on a review of the risk
assessment and the fleet inspection results to date.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 402 engines of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take 8 work-hours per product
to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $500 per product. We expect
that 1 disk on the remaining 207 engines will be replaced, at an
estimated cost of $20,000. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $478,280. Our cost estimate
is exclusive of possible warranty coverage.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed
regulation:
    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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Administrative Detention and Banned Medical Devices--21 CFR
800.55(g)(1) and (g)(2), 800.55(k), 895.21(d), and 895.229(a)

OMB Control Number 0910-0114--Extension

    FDA has the statutory authority under section 304(g) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 334(g)) to
detain during established inspections devices that are believed to be
adulterated or misbranded. Section 800.55 (21 CFR 800.55), on
administrative detention, includes among other things certain reporting
requirements (Sec.  800.55(g)(1) and (g)(2)) and recordkeeping
requirements (Sec.  800.55(k)). Under Sec.  [thinsp]800.55(g), an
appellant of a detention order must show documentation of ownership if
devices are detained at a place other than that of the appellant. Under
Sec.  [thinsp]800.55(k), the owner or other responsible person must
supply records about how the devices may have become adulterated or
misbranded, in addition to records of distribution of the detained
devices. These recordkeeping requirements for administrative detentions
permit FDA to trace devices for which the detention period expired
before a seizure is accomplished or injunctive relief is obtained.
    FDA also has the statutory authority under section 516 of the FD&C
Act (21 U.S.C. 360f) to ban devices that present substantial deception
or an unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury. Section
895.21 (21 CFR 895.21), on banned devices, contains certain reporting
requirements. Section 895.21(d) describes the procedures for banning a
device when the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner)
decides to initiate such a proceeding. Under 21 CFR 895.22, a
manufacturer, distributor, or importer of a device may be required to
submit to FDA all relevant and available data and information to enable
the Commissioner to determine whether the device presents substantial
deception, unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury, or
unreasonable, direct, and substantial danger to the health of
individuals.
    During the past several years, there has been an average of less
than one new administrative detention action per year. Each
administrative detention will have varying amounts of data and
information that must be maintained.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Packaging'' and identified by EPA ICR No. 0616.12 and OMB Control No.
2070-0052, represents the renewal of an existing ICR that is scheduled
to expire on July 31, 2017. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review
and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection that is summarized in this document.
The ICR and accompanying material are available in the docket for
public review and comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 30, 2017.

0001; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)),
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply
to?

    Title: Compliance Requirement for Child-Resistant Packaging.
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 0616.12.
    OMB control number: OMB Control No. 2070-0052.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31,
2017. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after
appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers
for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This information collection program is designed to
provide the EPA with assurances that the packaging of pesticide
products sold and distributed to the general public in the United
States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants must
certify to the Agency that the packaging or device meets these
standards. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory.
Section 25(c)(3) of FIFRA authorizes EPA to establish standards for
packaging of pesticide products and pesticidal devices to protect
children and adults from serious illness or injury resulting from
accidental ingestion or contact. Unless a pesticide product qualifies
for an exemption, if the product meets certain criteria regarding
toxicity and use, it must be sold and distributed in child-resistant
packaging. Compliance regulations are contained in 40 CFR part 157.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114
hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR are entities involved in manufacturing of pesticide chemicals,
wholesale merchandising of pesticide products, or pest management
activities. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes for respondents under this ICR include 325320 (Pesticide and
other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing), 424690 (Other Chemical and
Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers), and 561710 (Exterminating and
Pest Control Services).
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 31.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,535 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $249,292. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $249,292 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 1,972 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA's updating of burden
estimates for this collection, including an increase in the estimated
burden per response, and a decrease in the number of responses per
year. This change is an adjustment.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above,
R&R is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect
of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or
assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of
R&R, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary
or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approvals of R&R's issuance of securities or assumptions of
liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from

747SP Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to the products
listed above. The reference to a ``sub-section number'' in paragraph
(g) of the regulatory section is incorrect. This document corrects that
error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This final rule is effective May 25, 2011. The effective date
for AD 2010-24-13 remains January 20, 2011.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2010-24-13,
amendment 39-16532 (75 FR 78591,

December 16, 2010), currently requires adding two new indicator lights
on a certain panel to inform the captain and first officer of a low
pressure condition in the left and right override/jettison pumps of the
center wing tanks. That AD also requires replacing the left and right
override/jettison switches on the M154 fuel control module on the P4
panel with improved switches and doing the associated wiring changes.
That AD also requires, for certain airplanes, installation of a
mounting bracket for the new indicator lights. In addition, that AD
requires a revision to the maintenance program to incorporate
airworthiness limitation No. 28-AWL-22. Additionally, that AD requires
a revision to the airplane flight manual to advise the flightcrew what
to do in the event that the pump low pressure light on the flight
engineer's panel does not illuminate when the pump is selected off.
That AD requires those actions for Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B
SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR, and 747SP series
airplanes.
    As published, the reference to ``sub-section number is `28-60-06'
'' in paragraph (g) of the regulatory section is incorrect. The correct
sub-section number is 20-60-06.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being
published in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains January 20, 2011.

Correction of Regulatory Text

Sec.  39.13  [Corrected]

    In the Federal Register of December 16, 2010, on page 78593, in the
second and third columns, paragraph (g) of AD 2010-24-13 is corrected
to read as follows:
* * * * *
    (g) Within 36 months after the effective date of this AD: For
airplanes with a P10 panel installed, add two new indicator lights
on the P10 panel to inform the captain and first officer of a low
pressure condition in the left and right override/jettison pumps of
the center wing tanks, and, for airplanes that do not have the
warning panel (P10 panel) installed, add a mounting bracket and two
new indicator lights to the Autopilot Flight Director panel; and
replace the left and right override/jettison switches on the M154
fuel control module on the P4 panel with improved switches; and do
the associated wiring changes. Accomplish these actions by doing all
of the applicable actions specified in the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-28A2288, Revision 1,
dated January 21, 2010, except where that service bulletin states
``20-60-00,'' the correct sub-section number is ``20-60-06,'' and
except as described in Table 1 of this AD.

``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
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments

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

    The Exchange proposes to delete NYSE Rule 405(4) to correspond with
rule changes filed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') and approved by the Commission.\3\ 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 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 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 purpose of the proposed rule changes is to delete NYSE Rule
405(4) (Diligence as to Accounts) to correspond with rule changes filed
by FINRA and approved by the Commission.
Background
    On July 30, 2007, FINRA's predecessor, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (``NASD''), and NYSE Regulation, Inc.
(``NYSER'') consolidated their member firm regulation operations into a
combined organization, FINRA. Pursuant to Rule 17d-2 under the Act,
NYSE, NYSER and FINRA entered into an agreement (the ``Agreement'') to
reduce regulatory duplication for their members by allocating to FINRA
certain regulatory responsibilities for certain NYSE rules and rule
interpretations (``FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules''). NYSE Amex LLC
(``NYSE Amex'') became a party to the Agreement effective December 15,
2008.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 56148 (July 26,
2007), 72 FR 42146 (August 1, 2007) (order approving the Agreement);
56147 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42166 (August 1, 2007) (SR-NASD-2007-
054) (order approving the incorporation of certain NYSE Rules as
``Common Rules''); and 60409 (July 30, 2009), 74 FR 39353 (August 6,
2009) (order approving the amended and restated Agreement, adding
NYSE Amex LLC as a party). Paragraph 2(b) of the Agreement sets
forth procedures regarding proposed changes by FINRA, NYSE or NYSE
Amex to the substance of any of the Common Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As part of its effort to reduce regulatory duplication and relieve
firms that are members of FINRA, NYSE and NYSE Amex of conflicting or
unnecessary regulatory burdens, FINRA is now engaged in the process of
reviewing and amending the NASD and FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules in
order to create a consolidated FINRA rulebook.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ FINRA's rulebook currently has three sets of rules: (1) NASD
Rules, (2) FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules, and (3) consolidated FINRA
Rules. The FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rules apply only to those members
of FINRA that are also members of the NYSE (``Dual Members''), while
the consolidated FINRA Rules apply to all FINRA members. For more
information about the FINRA rulebook consolidation process, see
FINRA Information Notice, March 12, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed Conforming Amendments to NYSE Rules
    FINRA recently deleted FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rule 405(4)
(Diligence as to Accounts), which required proper supervision of
registered representatives handling common sales accounts in accordance
with FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rule 342. FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rule
405(4) provided that a member firm could facilitate the isolated
liquidation of securities valued at $1,000 or less registered in the
name of an individual who did not have an account with the firm, and
which were not part of any distribution, through a common sales account
set up for the purpose of handling such sales. NYSE Rule 405(4) further
provided that, subject to certain requirements, such sales could be
made on behalf of the customer without the member having to send a
periodic account statement to the customer pursuant to NYSE Rule
409.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61808 (March 31,
2010), 75 FR 17456 (April 6, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In deleting FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rule 405(4), FINRA noted that
the rule as written raised potential investor protection concerns and
that certain terms in the rule would benefit from additional
clarification. FINRA also noted that, to the extent that the deletion
of FINRA Incorporated NYSE Rule 405(4) eliminated the exception for
member firms from sending periodic account statements to a customer,
proposed FINRA Rule 2231, which relates to customer account statements,
would authorize FINRA to exempt members from the provisions of FINRA
Rule 2231 including the requirement to deliver periodic account
statements.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61808 (March 31,
2010), 75 FR 17456 (April 6, 2010). See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 59921 (May 14, 2009), 74 FR 23912 (May 21, 2009) (SR-
FINRA-2009-028) (proposal to adopt FINRA Rule 2231).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to harmonize the NYSE Rules with the approved,
consolidated FINRA Rules, the Exchange proposes to delete NYSE Rule
405(4).\8\ Notwithstanding the deletion of NYSE Rule 405(4), NYSE Rules
405(1)-(2) will continue to require member firms to properly supervise
all registered representatives handling common sales accounts and any
transactions executed therein. Finally, the Exchange believes that
removing the exemption for member firms from the requirement to send
customer account statements for the types of transactions described in
NYSE Rule 405(4) will ensure a harmonized standard among NYSE, NYSE
Amex, and FINRA, particularly since all NYSE member organizations with
customers are also FINRA members and subject to FINRA rules. To the
extent that FINRA Rule 2231 is approved, the Exchange will consider
proposing to adopt a similar

rule as part of the rule harmonization process.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ NYSE Amex has submitted a companion rule filing amending its
rules in accordance with FINRA's rule changes. See SR-NYSEAmex-2010-
48.
    \9\ See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59921 (May 14,
2009), 74 FR 23912 (May 21, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule changes are consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and further the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that
they are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest.

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule changes support the
objectives of the Act by providing greater harmonization between NYSE
Rules and FINRA Rules (including Common Rules) of similar purpose,
resulting in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory compliance
for Dual Members.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
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.

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

    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 that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission hereby
grants the Exchange's request.\16\ The Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change will
maintain the harmonization of NYSE Rules and previously approved FINRA
Rules.

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

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