ADDRESSES: The meetings will be conducted virtually. Please refer to
the CASAC website at https://casac.epa.gov for details on how to access
the meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing
further information regarding this notice may contact Mr. Aaron Yeow,
Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone at
(202) 564-2050 or via email at [email protected]. General information
concerning the CASAC, as well as any updates concerning the meetings
announced in this notice, can be found on the CASAC website: https://casac.epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The CASAC was established pursuant to the Clean Air Act
(CAA) Amendments of 1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to review
air quality criteria and NAAQS and recommend to the EPA Administrator
any new NAAQS and revisions of existing criteria and NAAQS as may be
appropriate. The CASAC shall also: advise the EPA Administrator of
areas in which additional knowledge is required to appraise the
adequacy and basis of existing, new, or revised NAAQS; describe the
research efforts necessary to provide the required information; advise
the EPA Administrator on the relative contribution to air pollution
concentrations of natural as well as anthropogenic activity; and advise
the EPA Administrator of any adverse public health, welfare, social,
economic, or energy effects which may result from various strategies
for attainment and maintenance of such NAAQS. As amended, 5 U.S.C.,
App. Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that EPA
carry out a periodic review and revision, as appropriate, of the air
quality criteria and the NAAQS for the six ``criteria'' air pollutants,
including ozone.
    The CASAC is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., app. 2, and conducts
business in accordance with FACA and related regulations. The CASAC and
the CASAC Ozone Review Panel will comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to
FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the CASAC Ozone Review
Panel will hold public meetings to receive a briefing from EPA on the
2020 Ozone Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), to hear public
comments, and for the panel to discuss scientific issues related to the
2020 Ozone ISA.
    Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning EPA's 2020
Ozone ISA should be directed to Dr. Steven Dutton
([email protected]).
    Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the review
documents, agenda and other materials will be accessible on the CASAC
website: https://casac.epa.gov.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA.
Members of the public can submit relevant comments on the topic of this
advisory activity, including the charge to the CASAC and the EPA review
documents, and/or the group conducting the activity, for the CASAC to
consider as it develops advice for EPA. Input from the public to the
CASAC will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or
technical information or analysis for CASAC to consider or if it
relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information.
Members of the public wishing to provide comment should follow the
instructions below to submit comments.
    Oral Statements: Individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation during the public meeting will be limited to three
minutes. Each person making an oral statement should consider providing
written comments as well as their oral statement so that the points
presented orally can be expanded upon in writing. Interested parties
should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in writing (preferably via email)
at the contact information noted above by August 22, 2022, to be placed
on the list of public speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for timely consideration by CASAC
members, statements should be supplied to the DFO (preferably via
email) at the contact information noted above by August 22, 2022. It is
the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the web
page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are
requested to provide an unsigned version of each document because the
SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its
websites. Members of the public should be aware that their personal
contact information, if included in any written comments, may be posted
to the CASAC website. Copyrighted material will not be posted without
explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron Yeow at (202)
564-2050 or [email protected]. To request accommodation of a
disability, please contact the DFO, at the contact information noted
above, preferably at least ten days prior to each meeting, to give EPA
as much time as possible to process your request.

Deputy Director, Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57103; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2007-115]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Order Granting
Approval of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to Rule 6.87--Obvious Error

January 4, 2008.
    On November 8, 2007, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend NYSE Arca Rule 6.87 governing obvious
errors to revise the review procedure for contesting decisions made
pursuant to the rule. The proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on November 27, 2007.\3\ The Commission
received no comment letters on the proposal. This order approves the
proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56819 (November 19,
2007), 72 FR 66214.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, NYSE Arca Rule 6.87 provides that the Exchange will
determine whether a transaction resulted from an ``Obvious Error'' \4\
after it receives notification within the prescribed time frame. If the
Exchange believes that an Obvious Error has occurred, the Exchange will
adjust the price of the trade, with or without an adjustment penalty,
or will nullify the trade, depending on the status of the parties to
the trade. Currently, a party may appeal the Exchange's decision to the
Exchange's Board of Directors (``Board'') pursuant to NYSE Arca Rule
10.14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ``Obvious Error'' is defined in NYSE Arca Rule 6.87(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to eliminate a party's right to appeal to the
Board and instead allow a party to appeal to an Obvious Error Panel
(``OE Panel''). The OE Panel would be composed of the Exchange's Chief
Regulatory Officer (``CRO''), or a designee of the CRO,\5\ and
representatives from two options trading permit firms (``OTP
Firms'').\6\ One OE Panel representative would be from an OTP Firm
directly engaged in market making activities and one OE Panel
representative would be from an OTP Firm directly engaged in the
handling of options orders for public customers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange represents that a designee of the CRO would be
an employee of the Exchange, working closely with and reporting
directly to, the CRO, such as one of the Directors of Options
Regulation.
    \6\ The Exchange proposes to designate at least ten OTP Firm
representatives to be called upon to serve on the OE Panel. In no
case would the OE Panel include a person related to a party to the
trade in question. To the extent reasonably possible, the Exchange
proposes to call upon the designated representatives to participate
on an OE Panel on an equally frequent basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, requests for an appeal would have to be made via
facsimile or e-mail within thirty minutes after the party requesting
the appeal is given notification of the initial determination.
Thereafter, the OE Panel would review the information and may overturn
or modify the action previously taken by the Exchange. Such
determination by the OE Panel would be considered a final action by the
Exchange on the matter at issue. All final determinations made by the
OE Panel would be rendered, without prejudice, as to the rights of the
parties to the transaction to submit their dispute to arbitration. The

revised process is intended to provide for a quicker resolution of
appeal requests than the Board process currently governed by Rule
10.14.
    Further, if the OE Panel upholds the Exchange's decision made
pursuant to Rule 6.87(a)(4) to nullify or adjust a trade, the Exchange
would assess a $500.00 fee against the party or parties who initiated
the request for appeal.
    The Exchange also proposes to amend Rule 10.14 to remove the
reference to Rule 6.87 and amend Rule 6.87 to remove Commentary .02.
    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange \7\ and, in
particular, the requirements of section 6(b) of the Act \8\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder. Specifically, the Commission finds
that the proposal is consistent with section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in
that the proposal is designed to promote just and equitable principles
of trade, foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, and remove impediments and
perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission considers that in most circumstances trades that are
executed between parties should be honored. On rare occasions, the
price of the executed trade indicates an ``obvious error'' may exist,
suggesting that it is unrealistic to expect that the parties to the
trade had come to a meeting of the minds regarding the terms of the
transaction. In the Commission's view, the determination of whether an
``obvious error'' has occurred and the process for reviewing such a
determination should be based on specific and objective criteria and
subject to specific and objective procedures.
    The Commission believes that the Exchange's proposal to create the
OE Panel to review obvious error determinations of the Exchange, and to
eliminate Board review of such determinations, is appropriate. The
Commission believes that the OE Panel's review procedures are clear and
objective and that the composition of the OE Panel is designed to be
balanced and fair.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2007-115), as
amended, is hereby approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\
