33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2010-0972]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Bayou Liberty, Mile 2.0, St.
Tammany Parish, Slidell, LA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is withdrawing its proposed rule concerning
the regulation governing the operation of the SR 433 Bridge over Bayou
Liberty, mile 2.0, St. Tammany Parish, Slidell, LA. The Louisiana
Department of Transportation and Development (the bridge owner)
proposed a change in the operating schedule to reduce the hours of
manned operation of the bridge to make more efficient use of personnel
and operating resources. Based on public comments expressing concern
with the impact the proposed changes would have on public access to the
waterway, the bridge owner no longer desires to move forward with the
proposed rule.

DATES: The notice of proposed rulemaking is withdrawn on December 21,
2011.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this withdrawn rulemaking is available for
inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M-30), U.S.
Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140,
1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. You may also find

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 22, 2010, we published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Bayou Liberty, mile
2.0, St. Tammany Parish, Slidell, LA.'' in the Federal Register (75 FR
71061). The NPRM concerned the change to the operating schedule for the
State Route 433 (SR 433) pontoon span bridge across Liberty Bayou, mile
2.0, at Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. The NPRM provided for
an opening upon two-hour notice, allowing the Louisiana Department of
Transportation and Development, owner of the bridge, to reduce the
hours of manned operation of the bridge in order to make more efficient
use of personnel and operating resources. This notice met with public
concern over access and property values. On July 20, 2011, we published
a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) entitled
``Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Bayou Liberty, mile 2.0, St.
Tammany Parish, Slidell, LA.'' in the Federal Register (76 FR 43226).
The SNPRM concerned the change to the operating schedule for the State
Route 433 (SR 433) pontoon span bridge across Liberty Bayou, mile 2.0,
at Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. The SNPRM provided for an
opening upon one-hour notice from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., allowing the
Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, owner of the
bridge, to reduce the hours of manned operation of the bridge in order
to make more efficient use of personnel and operating resources.

Withdrawal

    Due to the negative feedback from the waterway users and the
general public as well as the financial pressure mitigating these
concerns would cause, the bridge owner has decided to maintain the
current operating schedule. Therefore, we withdraw our proposed change
to the existing notification requirements within this regulation.

Authority

    This action is taken under the authority of 33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR
1.05-1; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

    Dated: November 21, 2011.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.

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

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

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

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

1. Purpose
    The Commission has approved a proposed rule change relating to
listing and trading on the Exchange of shares (``Shares'') of the Trust
for listing and trading on the Exchange under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E
(``Commodity-Based Trust Shares'').\6\ The Exchange proposes to reflect
(i) a change in the sponsors and the custodian of the Trust, (ii) the
elimination of an investor's ability to take delivery of Physical Gold,
and (iii) in connection with the change of custodian, the removal of
the Government Guarantee, and to amend certain other representations in
the proposed rule change filed with and approved by the Commission
relating to listing and trading of Shares of the Trust on the
Exchange.\7\ The Trust will continue to comply with all initial and
continued listing requirements under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E. Except for
the changes noted below, all other representations made in the Prior
Releases remain unchanged.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 82372 (December 21,
2017), 82 FR 61601 (December 28, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-140) (NYSE
Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To List and
Trade Shares of the Perth Mint Physical Gold ETF Trust Under NYSE
Arca Rule 8.201-E) (``First Prior Notice''); 82593 (January 26,
2018), 83 FR 4718 (February 1, 2018) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-140) (Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change To List and Trade Shares of the
Perth Mint Physical Gold ETF Trust Pursuant to NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-
E) (``Prior Order'' and, together with the Prior Notice, the ``First
Prior Releases''). See also, Securities Exchange Act Release No.
83248 (May 15, 2018), 83 FR 23494 (May 21, 2018) (SR-NYSEArca-2018-
32) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to the Proposed Operation of the Perth Mint Physical
Gold ETF Trust) (``Second Prior Release'' and, together with the
First Prior Releases, the ``Prior Releases'').
    \7\ On June 11, 2019 the Trust filed with the Commission a
registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933
relating to the Trust (File No. 333- 224389) (``Registration
Statement''). The Registration Statement was declared effective by
the SEC on June 20, 2019. The description of the operation of the
Trust herein is based, in part, on the Registration Statement. The
procedures described in this proposed rule change will not be
implemented until such proposed rule change is effective and
operative and such changes will be reflected in a prospectus to the
Registration Statement. On September 29, 2020, Perth Mint Physical
Gold Trust filed with the Commission Form 8-K (the ``8-K'') under
the Act relating to an agreement, also dated September 29, 2020, to
transfer the role of sponsor from Gold Corporation and Exchange
Traded Concepts, LLC to Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (such
agreement, the ``Sponsorship Transfer Agreement'').
    \8\ See note 6, supra. All terms referenced but not defined
herein are defined in the Prior Releases.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change to the Trust's Investment Objective
    The First Prior Notice stated that the Trust's primary objective
will be to provide investors with an opportunity to invest in gold
through the Shares, have the gold securely stored by Gold Corporation
and, if requested by an investor, deliver Physical Gold to such
investor in exchange for its Shares. The Second Prior Release stated,
however, that, because investors redeeming Shares would deliver Shares
to the Gold Corporation rather than to the Trust, the Trust's primary
objective will be to provide investors with an opportunity to invest in
gold through the Shares and have the gold securely stored by Gold
Corporation; and that the Gold Corporation rather than the Trust will
be the entity that is responsible for and delivers Physical Gold to
investors in exchange for Shares.
    The Exchange proposes to change these representations regarding the
Trust's investment objective to state that the Trust's investment
objective is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of
gold less the expenses of the Trust's operations, thus deleting
reference to delivery of Physical Gold to an investor in exchange for
Shares.
Change to Custodian and Sponsors
    The Prior Notice stated that the sponsors of the Trust are the Gold
Corporation and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC. The Exchange proposes to
change this representation to state that the Trust's sponsor
(``Sponsor'') will be Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. Goldman
Sachs Asset Management, L.P. will take on the responsibilities
previously performed by both the Gold Corporation (in its role as
custodial sponsor) and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (in its role as
administrative sponsor).\9\ Although the sponsors of the Trust will
change upon the closing of the Sponsorship Transfer Agreement, the
Trust itself will remain in place and continue to issue and redeem
Shares in Creation Unit sizes to Authorized Participants.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ All references in the Prior Releases to ``Sponsors'' would
be replaced by ``Sponsor''. In addition, reference to
``Administrative Sponsor'' in the Prior Releases would be replaced
by ``Sponsor'', as applicable.
    \10\ The Second Prior Release stated that the Trust will issue
and redeem ``Baskets'' equal to a block of 50,000 Shares and that
the size of a Basket is subject to change. In the Registration
Statement, the Trust described its change of the size of a Basket to
25,000 Shares. The Second Prior Release stated further that a
reduction in the size of a Basket may provide potential benefits to
investors by facilitating additional creation and redemption
activity in the Shares, thereby potentially resulting in increased
secondary market trading activity, tighter bid/ask spreads and
narrower premiums or discounts to net asset value (``NAV''). The
Trust's change to a Basket size of 25,000 Shares is consistent with
the August 8, 2018 letter from the Division of Trading and Markets
granting no-action relief to certain commodity-based investment
vehicles from Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M under the Act. See
footnote 2 to letter, dated August 8, 2018, from Josephine J. Tao,
Assistant Director, Division of Trading and Markets, to Eric
Simanek, Sullivan & Worcester LLP. The Exchange notes that the
Commission has approved the listing and trading of other issues of
Commodity-Based Trust Shares that have applied a minimum ``Creation
Unit'' size of less than 50,000 shares. See, e.g., Securities
Exchange Act Release Nos. 82249 (December 8, 2017), 82 FR 58884
(December 14, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-110) (Notice of Filing of
Amendment No. 2 and Order Approving on an Accelerated Basis a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, to List and
Trade Shares of the GraniteShares Platinum Trust under NYSE Arca
Rule 8.201-E); 81918 (October 23, 2017), 82 FR 49884 (October 27,
2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-98) (Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto, to List and Trade Shares of
The Gold Trust under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E); 80840 (June 1, 2017),
82 FR 26534 (June 7, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-33) (Order Approving a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2 Thereto, to
List and Trade Shares of the Euro Gold Trust, Pound Gold Trust, and
the Yen Gold Trust under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.201).

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

    The Registration Statement stated that the custodian of the Trust
is the Gold Corporation. The Exchange proposes to change this
representation to state that the Trust's custodian will be JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. (``Custodian''), which will take on all of the
responsibilities of the Gold Corporation (in its role as
custodian).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In regard to the role of the Custodian, footnote 8 of the
First Prior Notice stated the following: ``As Custodian of the
Trust's gold bullion, Gold Corporation will be responsible for the
safekeeping of the Trust's gold and supplying inventory information
to the Trustee and the Sponsors. The Custodian will also be
responsible for facilitating the transfer of gold in and out of the
Trust and facilitating the shipment of Physical Gold to Delivery
Applicants.'' The Exchange proposes to change this representation to
the following: ``As Custodian of the Trust's gold bullion, the
Custodian will be responsible for the safekeeping of the Trust's
gold and supplying inventory information to the Trustee and the
Sponsor.'' A prospectus to the Registration Statement will be filed
at the closing of the Sponsorship Transfer Agreement incorporating
the changes listed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change to Taking Delivery of Physical Gold by Investors
    The Prior Releases described procedures permitting an investor to
take delivery of Physical Gold in exchange for its shares, provided the
investor follows certain procedures set out in the Registration
Statement. In connection with the replacement of the custodian of the
Trust, the Exchange proposes to eliminate an investor's ability to take
delivery of Physical Gold. Therefore, all references in the Prior
Releases regarding investors taking delivery of Physical Gold will no
longer be in effect.\12\ The Trust's investment objective is for the
Shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold less the
expenses of the Trust's operations. Further, Goldman Sachs Asset
Management, L.P. represents that the option to take delivery of
Physical Gold has been utilized only 12 times since the inception of
the Trust. Given the limited use of this feature and the fact that
investors have been notified through the 8-K that this feature will be
removed, this change will not impact investors' ability to invest in a
product that reflects the performance of the price of gold less the
expenses of the Trust's operations. The Exchange notes that, except as
described in this proposed rule change, procedures relating to creation
and redemption of Shares as applied to Authorized Participants, as
described in the Prior Releases, will remain unchanged.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Procedures regarding delivery of Physical Gold to investors
are described in the following sections of the First Prior Notice:
``Permitting Investors to Take Delivery of Physical Gold,'' ``Taking
Delivery of Physical Gold--Delivery Applicants'' and ``Delivery
Application''; and in the following section of the Second Prior
Release: ``Changes to Representations Regarding Delivery
Applicants.''
    \13\ The Exchange notes that the Commission has previously
approved Exchange listing and trading of shares of gold trusts under
NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E without the ability of individual investors
to receive Physical Gold from a trust outside the redemption process
utilized by Authorized Participants. See e.g., Securities Exchange
Act Release Nos. 81077 (July 5, 2017), 82 FR 32024 (July 11, 2017)
(SR-NYSEArca-2017-55) (order approving listing and trading shares of
the GraniteShares Gold Trust under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.201;
75918 (December 9, 2016), 81 FR 90876 (December 15, 2016) (SR-
NYSEArca-2016-84) (order approving listing and trading of shares of
the Long Dollar Gold Trust Under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.201);
80840 (June 1, 2017), 82 FR 26534 (June 7, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-
33) (order approving listing and trading of shares of the Euro Gold
Trust, Pound Gold Trust, and the Yen Gold Trust Under NYSE Arca
Equities Rule 8.201).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change to Representation Regarding the Government Guarantee
    The Prior Notice referred to a Government Guarantee provided by the
State of Western Australia \14\ and stated that the Government
Guarantee applies to all gold held by the Custodian or sub-custodian,
whether in the Trust Allocated Metal Account, the Trust Unallocated
Metal Account, the ``GC Metal Account'' or in a Customer Account, for
the benefit of the Trust or an investor who is the Gold Corporation's
direct customer. The Government Guarantee applies only to Physical Gold
held in The Perth Mint's vaults.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See note 29 of the Prior Notice, which stated that the Gold
Corporation, doing business as the Perth Mint, is a Western
Australian Government owned statutory body corporate established by
the Gold Corporation Act 1987 (Western Australia) (the ``WA Act'').
The Government Guarantee provided by the State of Western Australia
pursuant to Section 22 of the WA Act provides (among other things)
that the payment of the cash equivalent of gold due, payable and
deliverable by the Custodian under the WA Act is guaranteed by the
Treasurer of Western Australia, in the name and on behalf of the
Crown in the right of the State of Western Australia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As the Custodian is not affiliated with the State of Western
Australia, the Custodian intends to substitute the Government Guarantee
with insurance on the Physical Gold held by the Custodian or a sub-
custodian. The Custodian has represented that it will maintain adequate
insurance from reputable and solvent insurers of international standing
that is customary with other single-asset commodity-based Exchange
Traded Products. Moreover, the costs of insuring the Physical Gold held
by the Custodian or a sub-custodian will be assumed by the Custodian
and not the Trust directly. The Trust's expense ratio will not change
as a result of the new Custodian being appointed. Accordingly, the
Exchange proposes to change this representation to state that the
Government Guarantee referenced in the Prior Releases is eliminated.
Because the Custodian intends to provide insurance to the Trust for the
Physical Gold held by the Custodian or a sub-custodian, the removal of
the Government Guarantee will not impact investors' ability to invest
in the Shares.
Change to Representation Regarding Delivery of Required Deposits
    The First Prior Notice stated that an Authorized Participant who
places a purchase order is responsible for crediting the Trust
Unallocated Metal Account with the required gold deposit amount by 9:00
a.m. London time on the third business day following the purchase order
date. The Exchange proposes to change the above reference from 9:00
a.m. London time to 8:00 a.m. London time.
    In addition, in connection with information regarding the required
gold deposit, the Exchange proposes that the Sponsor shall publish, or
shall designate another person to publish, for each business day, the
``Basket Gold Amount''.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \15\ that an exchange have rules that
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, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change is designed to perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
    With respect to the proposed elimination of an investor's ability
to take delivery of Physical Gold, the Exchange believes that, given
the limited use of this feature, as noted above, and the fact that
investors have been notified through the 8-K that this feature will be
removed, this change will not impact investors' ability to invest in
the Shares. The Exchange notes that the Commission has previously
approved Exchange listing and trading of shares of gold trusts under
NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E without the ability of individual investors to
receive Physical Gold from a trust outside the redemption process
utilized

by Authorized Participants.\16\ Except as described in this proposed
rule change, procedures relating to creation and redemption of Shares
as applied to Authorized Participants, as described in the Prior
Releases, will remain unchanged.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See note 13, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the proposed elimination of the Government
Guarantee as referenced above, because the Custodian intends to provide
insurance to the Trust for the Physical Gold held by the Custodian or a
sub-custodian, the removal of the Government Guarantee will not impact
investors' ability to invest in a product that reflects the performance
of the price of gold less the expenses of the Trust's operations.
    The Exchange represents that the proposed changes described above
are consistent with the Trust's investment objective, and will further
assist the Sponsor to achieve such investment objective. Except for the
changes noted above, all other representations made in the Prior
Releases remain unchanged.

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 purpose of the Act. The Exchange believes the
proposed rule changes, because of the removal of the ability for
investors to take delivery of Physical Gold, like other gold trusts
listed under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E,\17\ and the reduction in certain
time frames, regarding delivery of required deposits and other
redemption procedures, will enhance competition among issues of gold-
based Commodity-Based Trust Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Because the foregoing 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 for
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \18\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, 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 satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \20\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \21\ permits the Commission to
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 proposed
rule change may become effective and operative immediately upon filing.
The Exchange states that the proposed changes will not adversely impact
investors and will permit the Trust to promptly implement the
efficiencies associated with the proposed operational and
administrative changes described in the 8-K. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. For this reason, the
Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the
proposed rule change as operative upon filing.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \21\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \22\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See also 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2017-0105]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
provides the public notice that on October 4, 2017, the Association of
American Railroads (AAR) petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal
Railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 229.23. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA-2017-0105.
    Section 229.23(a) requires each locomotive to be inspected on an
interval not to exceed 92 days; section 229.23(b) allows a locomotive
equipped with advanced microprocessor-based on-board electronic
condition monitoring controls to be inspected on an interval not to
exceed 184 days. AAR states in its petition that it believes the
approximately 422 locomotives equipped with 26-L brake systems and
microprocessor-based on-board pneumatic condition monitoring controls
should fall within section 229.23(b), and petitions for a two-year test
waiver to demonstrate the appropriateness of that categorization.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    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 parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Docket Operations Facility, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC

     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by December 11, 2017 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the
individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if
submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better
inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including
any personal information the commenter provides, to

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-67885; File No. SR-CME-2012-35]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change Regarding Acceptance of Additional Interest Rate Swaps for
Clearing

September 18, 2012.
    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 September 5, 2012, Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (``CME'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared primarily by CME. The Commission is publishing this
Notice and Order to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons and to approve the proposed rule change on an
accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CME proposes to amend rules related to its business as a
derivatives clearing organization offering interest rate swap (``IRS'')
clearing services. More specifically, CME proposes to accept the
following swaps for clearing beginning September 17, 2012:
     Zero Coupon Swaps denominated in United States Dollars
(``USD''), Euros (``EUR'') and British Pound Sterling (``GBP'') with
Termination Dates up to 50 years;
     Overnight Index Swaps (``OIS'') denominated in USD, EUR,
GBP and Japanese Yen (``JPY'') with Termination Dates up to 30 years;
and
     An extension of the latest Termination Date for swaps
denominated in USD, EUR and GBP to 51 years and 10 days.
    The text of proposed rule changes to CME Rule 90002.L, relating to
the extension of termination dates, is available at CME's Web site at
http://www.cmegroup.com/market-regulation/files/SEC_19B-4_12-35.pdf.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements
concerning the purpose 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 III below. CME 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 Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and currently offers clearing
services for IRS. With this filing, CME proposes to accept the
following swaps for clearing beginning September 17, 2012:
     Zero Coupon Swaps denominated in United States Dollars
(``USD'') Euros (``EUR'') and British Pound Sterling (``GBP'') with
Termination Dates up to 50 years;
     Overnight Index Swaps (``OIS'') denominated in USD, EUR,
GBP and Japanese Yen (``JPY'') with Termination Dates up to 30 years;
and
     An extension of the latest Termination Date for swaps
denominated in USD, EUR and GBP to 51 years and 10 days.
    The Manual of Operations for CME Cleared Interest Rate Swaps (the
``IRS Manual'') is also being updated in connection with these proposed
changes to reflect the acceptance of the above interest rate swaps and
to make certain other operational updates and typographical and
grammatical corrections. The IRS Manual changes will be effective on
September 17, 2012.
    CME notes that it has also submitted the proposed rule changes that
are the subject of this filing to the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (``CFTC''), in CME Submission 12-275.
    CME believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and particularly with Section 17A of the Act
because it involves clearing of swaps and futures contracts and thus
relate solely to CME's swaps and futures clearing activities pursuant
to its registration as a derivatives clearing organization under the
Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') and does not significantly affect any
securities clearing operations of the clearing agency or any related
rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons using such
service. CME further notes that the policies of the CEA with respect to
clearing are comparable to a number of the policies underlying the Act,
such as promoting market transparency for over-the-counter derivatives
and futures markets, promoting the prompt and accurate clearance of
transactions, and protecting investors and the public interest. The
proposed rule changes accomplish those objectives by offering investors
enhancements in relation to CME's IRS product offering.

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
     Electronic comments may be submitted by using the
Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml
), or send an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please include File No.
SR-CME-2012-35 on the subject line.
     Paper comments should be sent in triplicate to Elizabeth
M. Murphy, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street
NE., Washington, DC, 20549-1090.
    All submissions should refer to File Number SR-CME-2012-35. This
file number should be included on the subject line if email is used. To
help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently,
please use only one method. The Commission will

post all comments on the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml ). Copies of the submission, all subsequent
amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule
change that are filed with the Commission, and all written
communications relating to the proposed rule change between the
Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from
the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be
available for Web site viewing and printing in the Commission's Public
Reference Room, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 on official
business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies of such
filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the
principal office of CME and on CME's Web site at http://www.cmegroup.com/market-regulation/rule-filings.html. All comments
received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit
personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit
only information that you wish to make available publicly. All
submissions should refer to File Number SR-CME-2012-35 and should be
submitted on or before October 15, 2012.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    Section 19(b) of the Act \3\ directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization. The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act,\4\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to CME. Specifically, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, which requires, among other things, that the
rules of a clearing agency be designed to assure the safeguarding of
securities and funds which are in the possession or control of the
clearing agency or for which it is responsible and to protect investors
and the public interest because it should allow CME to enhance its
clearing activities related to IRS products.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1. In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its filing CME requested that the Commission approve this
proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the date of
publication of the notice of the filing. CME has articulated three
reasons for so granting approval. One, the products covered by this
filing and CME's operations as a derivatives clearing organization for
such products are regulated by the CFTC under the CEA. Two, the
proposed rule change relates solely to IRS products and therefore
relate solely to CME's swaps clearing activities and do not
significantly relate to CME's functions as a clearing agency for
security-based swaps. Three, not approving this request on an
accelerated basis will have a significant impact on the swap clearing
business of CME as a designated clearing organization.
    The Commission finds good cause for granting approval of the
proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after publication of
the notice of its filing because: (i) The proposed rule change does not
significantly affect any securities clearing operations of the clearing
agency (whether in existence or contemplated by its rules) or any
related rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons using
such service; (ii) the clearing agency has indicated that not providing
accelerated approval would have a significant impact on its IRS
clearing business as a designated clearing organization; and (iii) the
activity relating to the non-security clearing operations of the
clearing agency for which the clearing agency is seeking approval is
subject to regulation by another federal regulator.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,
that the proposed rule change (SR-CME-2012-35) is approved on an
accelerated basis.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\6\
