SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60222; File No. SR-ISE-2009-37]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change Relating to an Extension of the Penny Pilot Program

July 1, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\, and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on June 30, 2009, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The ISE is proposing to extend, until October 31, 2009, a pilot
program to quote and to trade certain options in pennies. The text of
the proposed rule amendment is available at the Exchange and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission notes that as of July 1, 2009, the proposed
rule change is also available on the Exchange's Web site at https://
www.ise.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 self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in

sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On January 24, 2007, the SEC approved ISE's rule filing, SR-ISE-
2006-62, which initiated a pilot program to quote and to trade certain
options in penny increments (the ``Penny Pilot Program'').\4\ Under the
Penny Pilot Program, the minimum price variation for all participating
options classes, except for the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock
(``QQQQ''), is $0.01 for all quotations in options series that are
quoted at less than $3 per contract and $0.05 for all quotations in
options series that are quoted at $3 per contract or greater. The QQQQs
are quoted in $0.01 increments for all options series. Through
subsequent expansions, the Penny Pilot now consists of 63 underlying
securities.\5\ The Penny Pilot Program is scheduled to expire on July
3, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55161 (January 24,
2007), 72 FR 4754 (February 1, 2007) (the ``Initial Filing''). The
Penny Pilot Program was subsequently extended for an additional two
month period, until September 27, 2007. See Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 56151 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42452 (August 2, 2007).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 56564 (September
27, 2007), 72 FR 56412 (October 3, 2007) and 57508 (March 17, 2008),
73 FR 15243 (March 21, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange recently submitted a proposal to extend and expand the
Penny Pilot Program, which the Commission recently published for
comment.\6\ The Commission also recently published for comment two
alternative proposals.\7\ In order to give the Commission and market
participants time to evaluate the varying proposals, ISE proposes to
extend the Penny Pilot Program in its current pilot until October 31,
2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60146 (June 19,
2009) (SR-ISE-2009-32).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 60018 (June 1,
2009), 74 FR 27211 (June 18, 2009) (Notice of Filing of Proposed
Rule Change by the Chicago Board Options Exchange To Expand the
Penny Pilot Program); 59944 (May 20, 2009), 74 FR 25294 (May 27,
2009) (Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change by NYSE Arca To
Expand the Penny Pilot Program).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As proposed in the Initial Filing, ISE represents that options
trading in penny increments will not be eligible for split pricing, as
permitted under ISE Rule 716. In the Initial Filing, the Exchange also
made references to quote mitigation strategies that are currently in
place and proposed to apply them to the Penny Pilot Program. The
Exchange proposes to continue applying those quote mitigation
strategies during the extension of the Penny Pilot Program, as
contemplated by this rule filing. Specifically, as proposed in Rule
804, ISE will continue to utilize a holdback timer that delays
quotation updates for up to, but not longer than, one second. The
Exchange's monitoring and delisting policies, as proposed in the
Initial Filing, shall also continue to apply.
    Finally, ISE intends to submit an additional report to the
Commission analyzing the Penny Pilot Program for the following time
period: May 1, 2009-July 31, 2009.
    The Exchange anticipates its report will analyze the impact of
penny pricing on market quality and options system capacity. The
Exchange will submit the report no later than August 31, 2009.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Exchange
Act'') for this proposed rule change is found in Section 6(b)(5), in
that the proposed rule change is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms
of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general,
to protect investors and the public interest. In particular, the
proposed rule change will allow the Exchange to continue the Penny
Pilot Program uninterrupted.

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

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, 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) \8\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-
4 thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \10\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \11\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange requests that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange states that
waiver of the 30-day operative delay will allow the Penny Pilot Program
to continue uninterrupted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest
because such waiver will allow the Penny Pilot Program to continue
without interruption through October 31, 2009.\12\ Accordingly, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing
with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
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.

IV. 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:

[Docket No. FAA-2015-1658; Directorate Identifier 2015-NE-18-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B turbofan engine models. This
proposed AD was prompted by reports of GEnx-1B engine oil loss. This
proposed AD would require removal and replacement of the non-conforming
ball valve in the oil filler cap. We are proposing this AD to prevent
loss of engine oil, which could lead to failure of one or more engines,
loss of thrust control, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 17, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-1658;
Directorate Identifier 2015-NE-18-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We propose to adopt a new AD for all GE GEnx-1B turbofan engine
models. This proposed AD was prompted by multiple reports of engine oil
loss and resultant flight plan diversions. The root cause of the engine
oil loss is a non-conforming ball valve in the secondary seal of the
oil filler cap. The non-conforming ball valve may prevent correct
sealing and lead to oil leakage. This proposed AD would require removal
and replacement of the non-conforming ball valve in the oil filler cap.
This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of engine oil,
which could lead to failure of one or more engines, loss of thrust
control, and damage to the airplane.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed GE GEnx-1B Service Bulletin (SB) No. 79-0022, Revision
1, dated May 13, 2015. The SB describes procedures for removing and
replacing the ball valve in the oil filler cap.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require removal and replacement of the non-
conforming ball valve in the oil filler cap.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 86 engines installed
on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about
1 hour per engine to comply with this proposed AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. We estimate that replacement parts would cost $11
per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of the
proposed AD to U.S. operators to be $8,256.

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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and
    (4) 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-539 (Gas Pipeline Certificates: Import & Export Related
Applications).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0062.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-539 with no
changes to the current reporting requirements.
    Abstract: Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717-
717w) provides, in part, that `` . . . no person shall export any
natural gas from the United States to a foreign country or import any
natural gas from a foreign country without first having secured and
order from the Commission authorizing it to do so.'' The 1992
amendments to Section 3 of the NGA concern importation or exportation
from/to a nation which has a free trade agreement with the United
States, and requires that such importation or exportation: (1) Shall be
deemed to be a ``first sale'', i.e., not a sale for a resale, and (2)
Shall be deemed to be consistent with the public interest, and
applications for such importation or exportation shall be granted
without modification or delay.
    With the ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement
and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, the Federal regulatory focus on
construction, operation, and siting of import and export facilities
increased significantly.
    Estimate of Annual Burden.\1\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency. See 5
CFR 1320 for additional information on the definition of information
collection burden.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Commission staff estimates that industry is similarly situated in terms of hourly cost (for wages plus benefits). Based on the Commission's FY
  (Fiscal Year) 2019 average cost (for wages plus benefits), $80.00/hour is used.

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the
burden and cost of the collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the information collections; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0616; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-353-AD;
Amendment 39-17833; AD 2014-08-09]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 767 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports
of two in-service occurrences on Model 737-400 airplanes of total loss
of boost pump pressure of the fuel feed system, followed by loss of
fuel system suction feed capability on one engine, and in-flight
shutdown of the engine. This AD requires revising the maintenance
program to incorporate a revision to the Airworthiness Limitations
section of the maintenance planning data document. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct failure of the engine fuel suction feed
capability of the fuel system, which could result in dual engine
flameout, inability to restart the engines, and consequent forced
landing of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective June 5, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 5, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The
Boeing Company Model 767 airplanes. The SNPRM published in the Federal
Register on August 1, 2013 (78 FR 46532). We preceded the SNPRM with a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal
Register on June 6, 2008 (73 FR 32252). The NPRM proposed to require
repetitive operational tests of the engine fuel suction feed of the
fuel system, and other related testing if necessary. The NPRM was
prompted by reports of two in-service occurrences on Model 737-400
airplanes of total loss of boost pump pressure of the fuel feed system,
followed by loss of fuel system suction feed capability on one engine,
and in-flight shutdown of the engine. Although the fuel system on Model
767 airplanes differs from the Model 737 with respect to the engine
fuel feed system design, service data of transport category airplanes
indicates that multi-engine flameouts have generally resulted from a
common cause, such as fuel mismanagement, crew action that
inadvertently shut off the fuel supply to the engines, exposure to
common environmental conditions, or engine deterioration on all engines
of the same type. Successful in-flight restart of the engines is
dependent on adequate fuel being supplied to the engines, solely
through engine fuel suction feed. Deterioration of the fuel plumbing
system can lead to line (vacuum) losses, reducing the engine fuel
suction feed capability; therefore, directed maintenance is necessary
to ensure this system is functioning correctly in order to maintain
continued safe flight of the airplane. The SNPRM proposed to revise the
maintenance program to incorporate a revision to the Airworthiness
Limitations section of the maintenance planning data (MPD) document,
and to remove airplanes from the applicability. We are issuing this AD
to detect and correct failure of the engine fuel suction feed
capability of the fuel system, which could result in dual engine
flameout, inability to restart the engines, and consequent forced
landing of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the SNPRM (78
FR 46532, August 1, 2013) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Concurrence With the SNPRM (78 FR 46532, August 1, 2013)

    Boeing stated that it concurs with the content of the SNPRM (78 FR
46532, August 1, 2013).

Request To Include Compliance Time for Initial Operational Test

    United Airlines (UAL) and UPS asked that we specify the compliance
time for the initial operational test identified in the maintenance
program. UAL and UPS presumed that the initial test is within 7,500
flight hours or 3 years, whichever occurs first ``after the effective
date of the AD.''
    We acknowledge the commenters' request. The compliance time for the
initial operational test is based on the date the airworthiness
limitation (AWL) is incorporated into the maintenance program. It would
be conservative to use the effective date of this AD for accomplishing
the initial test; however, this AD allows 90 days for the AWL to be
incorporated. As specified in paragraph (g) of this AD, the initial
test is to be done within 7,500 flight hours or 3 years, whichever
occurs first after incorporation of the AWL into the maintenance
program. We have not revised this final rule in this regard.

Request To Include Latest MPD Revision

    UAL asked that we include the latest revision of Section 9 of the
Boeing 767 MPD in the SNPRM (78 FR 46532, August 1, 2013). UAL stated
that the latest revision is April 2013.
    We agree that this AD should refer to the latest MPD revision.
Boeing has issued Revisions April 2013, August 2013, September 2013,
and November 2013 of Section 9, Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and
Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs), D622T001-9, of the
Boeing 767 MPD Document. We have added these revisions to paragraph (g)
of this final rule as additional service information

that may be used to accomplish the required actions.

Request To Include Credit for Initial Test Using Existing Inspection
Programs

    UPS asked that we give credit for previous accomplishment of the
initial operational test. UPS stated that it has already incorporated
the initial test as an existing scheduled maintenance task at its ``1C
interval (24 months or 6,000 flight hours, whichever occurs first), in
accordance with MSM SDN 28-22-00-5GT.'' UPS added that the interval to
incorporate AWL No. 28-AWL-101 is 3 years or 7,500 flight hours,
whichever occurs first. UPS noted that the SNPRM (78 FR 46532, August
1, 2013) fails to provide an option to take credit for the last
accomplishment of the test.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request to give credit for
previous accomplishment of testing of the suction feed capability under
the current maintenance program. The commenter did not provide
sufficient information with their comment to allow us to determine that
their previous tests had the same level of effectiveness as the AWL-
required test. In addition, the repetitive interval in the AWL is 3
years or 7,500 flight hours, and the initial inspection is to be done
no later than 3 years or 7,500 flight hours after the AWL is
incorporated into the maintenance program. The commenter stated that it
currently performs its scheduled maintenance task every 24 months or
6,000 flight hours, whichever occurs first. If the commenter performs
the next scheduled suction feed test using the procedures required by
the AWL, without changing their currently planned time for the next
inspection, it would be in compliance with the new AWL and credit for a
previous test would not be necessary. Under the provisions of paragraph
(i) of this AD, we may consider requests for approval of an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC) if sufficient data are submitted to
substantiate that the current test method can be used in place of the
test method required by the AWL, and provides an acceptable level of
safety. We have made no change to this final rule in this regard.

Request To Change Applicability Language

    UPS asked that we change the applicability language specified in
paragraph (c) of the SNPRM (78 FR 46532, August 1, 2013), which
specifies the affected models have received a certificate of
airworthiness or foreign export certificate of airworthiness before
November 2, 2012. UPS recommended that the language be changed to
capture any Model 767 airplanes subject to the requirements of Section
9, Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMRs), D622T001-9, including AWL No. 28-AWL-101, Engine
Fuel Suction Feed Operational Test, of Section D., Airworthiness
Limitations--Systems, as of November 2, 2012 (the original publication
date) of the Boeing 767 MPD Document. UPS stated that the applicability
range specified in paragraph (c) of the SNPRM does not include eight
additional Model 767-300F airplanes currently operated by UPS that were
delivered after November 2, 2012.
    We do not agree to change the applicability language to capture
Model 767 airplanes per the commenter's request. The intent of the
cutoff date of November 2, 2012, as specified in the applicability of
this AD, is to require a common operational test to apply to both the
in-production and previously delivered airplanes. Production airplanes
delivered after November 2, 2012, already receive a maintenance program
that includes this operational test. Operators are required to comply
with the AWLs in the documents provided with a new airplane. This AD
would capture airplanes outside that group. However, we have included a
clarification in paragraph (c) of this final rule to specify that the
AD applies to airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or
original export certificate of airworthiness issued before November 2,
2012.

Clarification of Paragraph (h) of This AD

    We have revised paragraph (h) of this AD by removing the reference
to the critical design configuration control limitations (CDCCLs). AWL
No. 28-AWL-101 is not a CDCCL.

Conclusion

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

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 406 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and

    (4) 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

    Extension: Rule 498, File No. 270-435, OMB Control No. 3235-
0488.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``Act'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 498 of the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.498) permits
open-end management investment companies (or a series of an
investment company organized as a series company, which offers one
or more series of shares representing interests in separate
investment portfolios) (``funds'') to provide investors with a
``profile'' that contains a summary of key information about a fund,
including the fund's investment objectives, strategies, risks and
performance, and fees, in a standardized format. The profile
provides investors the option of buying fund shares based on the
information in the profile or reviewing the fund's prospectus before
making an investment decision. Investors purchasing shares based on
a profile receive the fund's prospectus prior to or with
confirmation of their investment in the fund.
    Consistent with the filing requirement of a fund's prospectus, a
profile must be filed with the Commission thirty days before first
use. Such a filing allows the Commission to review the profile for
compliance with Rule 498. Compliance with the rule's standardized
format assists investors in evaluating and comparing funds.
    It is estimated that approximately 16 initial profiles and 274
updated profiles are filed with the Commission annually. The
Commission estimates that each profile contains on average 1.25
portfolios, resulting in 20 portfolios filed annually on initial
profiles and 343 portfolios filed annually on updated profiles. The
number of burden hours for preparing and filing an initial profile
per portfolio is 25. The number of burden hours for preparing and
filing an updated profile per portfolio is 10. The total burden
hours for preparing and filing initial and updated profiles under
Rule 498 is 3,930, representing an increase of 749 hours from the
prior estimate of 3,181. The increase in burden hours is
attributable to the higher number of profiles actually prepared and
filed as compared to the previous estimates.
    The estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the
purposes of the Act and are not derived from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the cost of Commission rules and
forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration
will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing
within 60 days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Lewis W. Walker, Acting
Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an
e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee;
Notice of Meeting

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Notice.

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

    This notice announces a forthcoming meeting of a public advisory
committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At least one
portion of the meeting will be closed to the public.
    Name of Committees: Anesthetic and Life Support Drugs Advisory
Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee.
    General Function of the Committees: To provide advice and
recommendations to the agency on FDA's regulatory issues.
    Date and Time: The meeting will be held on November 13 and 14,
2008, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
    Location: Holiday Inn, The Ballrooms, Two Montgomery Village Ave.,
Gaithersburg, MD. The hotel phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Contact Person: Kalyani Bhatt, Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research (HFD-21), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,

or<PHONE_NUMBER>. Please call the Information Line for up-to-date
information on this meeting. A notice in the Federal Register about
last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory
committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide
timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the agency's Web site
and call the appropriate advisory hot line/phone line to learn about
possible modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: On November 13 and 14, 2008, the committees will begin with
a closed session, from 8 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. Following the closed
session, from 9:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the meeting will be open to the
public. On November 13, 2008, the committees will discuss new drug
application (NDA) 22-324,

REMOXY XRT (oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release) Capsules, Pain
Therapeutics Inc., and its safety for the proposed indication of
management of moderate to severe pain when a continuous, around-the-
clock analgesic is needed for an extended period of time. The
controlled-release characteristics of this formulation are purportedly
less easily defeated than other formulations of controlled-release
oxycodone. On November 14, 2008, the committees will discuss new drug
application NDA 22-321, EMBEDA (morphine sulfate extended-release with
sequestered naltrexone hydrochloride) Capsules, Alpharma
Pharmaceuticals L.L.C., and its safety for the proposed indication of
management of moderate to severe chronic pain. The naltrexone component
of this formulation is intended to mitigate abuse of the product when
attempts are made to defeat the controlled-release properties of the
formulation.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
available at http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/acmenu.htm, click on
the year 2008 and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee
link.
    Procedure: On November 13 and 14, 2008, from 9:15 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., the meeting is open to the public. Interested persons may present
data, information, or views, orally or in writing, on issues pending
before the committee. Written submissions may be made to the contact
person on or before October 28, 2008. Oral presentations from the
public will be scheduled between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. each
day. Those desiring to make formal oral presentations should notify the
contact person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of
the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses
of proposed participants, and an indication of the approximate time
requested to make their presentation on or before October 20, 2008.
Time allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the number of
registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably
accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may
conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open
public hearing session. The contact person will notify interested
persons regarding their request to speak by October 21, 2008.
    Closed Committee Deliberations: On November 13 and 14, 2008, from 8
a.m. to 9:15 a.m., the meeting will be closed to permit discussion and
review of trade secret and/or confidential information (5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(4)). During these sessions, the committees will discuss the

			  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on March 29, 2006

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2005-23073

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

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:  TAG Aviation España S.L.						Date Filed: November 15, 2005

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 to engage in
charter foreign air transportation of persons and property between any
point or points in Spain and any point or points in the United States,
and to conduct other charters in accordance with Part 212of the
Department’s regulations.  TAG Aviation España proposes to operate
these services using small aircraft.

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

Applicant representatives:  Gary B. Garofalo & Erin M. Tallardy  (202)
776-3970

DOT Analyst:  Shelita A. Smith<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  None filed

DISPOSITION

Action:  Approved								Action date:  March 29, 2006

Effective dates of exemption authority granted:  March 29, 2006 –
March 29, 2007

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity):  Reciprocity

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   (          )

Special conditions/Partial grant/Denial basis/Remarks:  Based on the
record in this case, we find that TAG Aviation España is financially
and operationally qualified to perform the services authorized above.
However, we are unable to find that TAG Aviation España is
substantially owned and effectively controlled by homeland nationals.
Specifically, the applicant states that TAG Aviation España is 99%
owned by TAG Aviation SA (TAG SA), which is 100% owned by TAG Holding, a
Swiss company.  TAG Holding is owned 46.63% by a trust, the
beneficiaries of which are citizens of Switzerland, France and Germany.
The remaining shares are ultimately held by citizens of Saudi Arabia,
the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and by a person of joint Lebanese,
Canadian and U.K. citizenship.  Of the nine members of TAG Holding’s
board, three hold Swiss citizenship, two hold French citizenship, two
hold British citizenship, one holds Swedish citizenship, and one holds
United States citizenship.  Based on the record before us, we find that
there is no evidence that would suggest that the ownership and control
of TAG Aviation España would make grant of this authority inimical to
U.S. aviation policy or interests.  Under the circumstances presented,
we find that it is consistent with the public interest to use our
discretion and to waive our ownership and control standard in this
instance.  The carrier is properly licensed by the Government of Spain
to perform the proposed services.  By memorandum dated March 22, 2006,
the FAA advised us that it knew of no reason why we should act
unfavorably on TAG Aviation España’s application.

The authority granted to TAG Aviation España is limited to operations
involving aircraft designed to have a maximum passenger capacity of not
more than 60 seats or a maximum payload capacity of not more than 18,000
pounds.

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.

Foreign Carrier Exemption Conditions

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier
applicant(s) shall:

(1)  Not conduct any operations unless it holds a currently effective
authorization from its homeland for such operations, and it has filed a
copy of such authorization with the Department;

(2)  Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration, including, but not limited to, 14 CFR Parts 129, 91, and
36, and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning
security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1546 or 1550, as
applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the
form of a completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation
Administration’s Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards
Service (any changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be
filed with that office);

(4)  Not operate aircraft under this authority unless it complies with
operational safety requirements at least equivalent to Annex 6 of the
Chicago Convention;

(5)  Conform to the airworthiness and airman competency requirements of
its Government for international air services;

(6)  Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 203,
concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

(7)  Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
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
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

(10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department's rules
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.

  TAG Aviation España’s application was accompanied by a motion under
Rule 12 (14 CFR § 302.12) to withhold certain financial information
from public disclosure.  In support of its motion, TAG Aviation España
states that the information is proprietary and commercially sensitive,
and that TAG Aviation España would be adversely affected by its
disclosure.  We have reviewed the documents under the disclosure
guidelines of Rule 12 and have determined that they warrant confidential
treatment.  Because of the commercially sensitive nature of the
information, we have determined that the documents fall within the
Freedom of Information Act exemption for proprietary information and
would adversely affect the competitive position of TAG Aviation España
under 49 U.S.C. § 40115.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53148; File No. SR-Amex-2005-131]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval to a Proposed
Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto Relating to the Implementation
of a Quote Risk Manager

January 19, 2006.
    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 December 27, 2005, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') 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 by the Exchange. On January
13, 2006, the Amex filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule
change.\3\ The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons. In
addition, the Commission is granting accelerated approval of the
proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1, which replaced and superseded the original
filing in its entirety, made certain additions to the purpose
section and minor changes to the text of the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Amex proposes to amend Exchange Rule 958--ANTE to codify a
change to the Exchange's ANTE System to allow specialists and
registered options traders (``ROTs'') to establish an options ``Quote
Risk Manager.'' The text of the proposed rule change, as amended, is
below. Proposed new language is in italics.

Rule 958--ANTE Options Transactions of Registered Options Traders

    (a)-(h) No Change.

. . . Commentary

    .01-.09 No Change.

.10 ANTE Participant Quotations

    Automated Quotation Adjustments--An ANTE Participant may establish
parameters by which ANTE will automatically restate the prices of ANTE
Participant quotations in all series of an options class, at prices
specified by the ANTE Participant, if within an Exchange-specified time
period such ANTE Participant, in the aggregate, executes a number of
trades, specified by the ANTE Participant, for that options class. The
threshold number of trades shall be pre-established by the ANTE
Participant for each options class.
* * * * *

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 had received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item III below. The Amex has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections
A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    Exchange rules require option specialists to continuously provide
and maintain a two-sided market of at least ten contracts for every
series of every option class they are allocated.\4\ Although not
required, ROTs often continuously provide and maintain two-sided
markets in every series of every option class they are assigned.\5\
This continuous quoting obligation can, at times, subject specialists
and ROTs to unintended and often unacceptable levels of risk. Each
option class has at least twelve (12) series and many option classes
have significantly more series.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Exchange Rule 950--ANTE (1).
    \5\ See Exchange Rule 958--ANTE (h)(iii)(A).
    \6\ For a typical equity option class, the Exchange lists both
puts and calls in four expiration months with three strike prices
within each expiration month. Many option classes also have puts and
calls with numerous strike prices in two long-term expiration
series. As the underlying stock price moves, additional strike
prices are added for each expiration. Options on volatile stocks can
have well over 100 different series trading at any given time. For
example, there are over 400 different series traded in Google
(GOOG).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's ANTE System, which provides for the nearly
simultaneous execution of orders in these numerous series, subjects
specialists and ROTs to executions at their quoted market with little
or no ability to adjust the quote in response to the number of
contracts traded at a given price, particularly if orders arrive in
quick succession from multiple sources in various related option
series. Accordingly, specialists and ROTs are vulnerable to the risk
that, through an error in their pricing decisions or because of market
developments, they will receive multiple executions at disadvantageous
prices across all of the related option series in an option class--all
before they are able to react and adjust their quotes. As a result, the
quality of the markets available to customers may suffer because, under
such circumstances, specialists and ROTs are likely to quote less
aggressively and limit the size of their quotes to avoid the attendant
risks and costs.
    In order to protect specialists and ROTs from this unreasonable
level of risk of multiple and nearly simultaneous executions in related
options series, the Exchange has developed an enhancement to the ANTE
System which is referred to as the ``Quote Risk Manager.'' The ``Quote
Risk Manager'' would provide the ability for specialists and ROTs to
automatically restate their quote to an inferior price (i.e., the
widening of quotes).\7\ The result of this ``widened quote'' would be
to prevent further executions, since in the ANTE System trades are
subject to execution at a price no worse than the national best bid or
offer.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Specialists and ROTs may not exceed the legal width
requirements as set forth in Exchange Rule 958--ANTE(c).
    \8\ The Exchange established time period shall initially be five
(5) seconds. If the Exchange were to change this time period it
would provide notice to the specialists and ROTs.

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

    The Exchange's proposed rule requires that a certain number of
trades occur in an options class before the automatic widening of
quotes takes place. Proposed Commentary .10 to Rule 958--ANTE provides
that a specialist or ROT may establish specific parameters by which
their quotations in all series of an options class are automatically
repriced. ANTE would widen the quotes at the specialist's or ROT's
predetermined price, if the specialist or ROT executes a set number of
trades, to be specified by the specialist or ROT, within an Exchange
established time frame, in that class.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, in that it is designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would impose no
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 by the Exchange on
this proposal.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be
submitted by any of the following methods:

submissions should refer to File Number SR-Amex-2005-131 and should be
submitted on or before February 16, 2006.

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

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, applicable to a national
securities exchange.\11\ In particular, the Commission believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\12\ which requires among other things, that the rules of the
Exchange are designed 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 Commission notes that the
proposal does not alter the obligations of specialists and ROTs. The
Commission believes that the proposed rule change should provide
specialists and ROTs assistance in effectively managing their
quotations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Amex has requested that the Commission find good cause for
approving the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after
publication of notice thereof in the Federal Register. The Commission
notes that similar proposals to provide protection from risk for market
makers have been approved for other options exchanges.\13\ The
Commission believes that granting accelerated approval of the proposal
should provide specialists and ROTs with similar protections from the
risk associated with an excessive number of near simultaneous
executions in a single options class. Accordingly, the Commission finds
good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\14\ for approving
the proposed rule change, as amended, prior to the thirtieth day after
the date of publication of notice thereof in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 51049 (January 18,
2005), 70 FR 3756 (January 26, 2005) (SR-BSE-2004-52); 51050
(January 18, 2005), 70 FR 3758 (January 26, 2005) (SR-ISE-2004-31);
and 51740 (May 25, 2005), 70 FR 32686 (June 3, 2005) (SR-PCX-2005-
64).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\15\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Amex-2005-131) and Amendment
No. 1 thereto be, and hereby are, approved on an accelerated basis.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0127]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Willamette River, Portland, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the lower deck of the Steel Bridge
across the Willamette River, mile 12.1, in Portland, OR. The deviation
is necessary to support the Shamrock Stride event. This deviation
allows the lower lift span of the bridge to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on
March 18, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0127, is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Steven Fischer, Bridge
Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) owns
and operates the Steel Bridge across the Willamette River, at mile
12.1, in Portland, OR. UPRR requested a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule for the Steel Bridge lower lift span. The deviation
is necessary to accommodate the Shamrock Stride run/walk event. The
Steel Bridge is a double-deck lift bridge, and the lower lift span
operates independent of the upper lift span. To facilitate this
temporary deviation request, the lower lift span is authorized to
remain in the closed-to-navigation position, and need not open to
marine vessels from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on March 18, 2018. When
the lower span is in the closed-to-navigation position, the bridge
provides 26 feet of vertical clearance above Columbia River Datum 0.0.
The lower lift span of the Steel Bridge operates in accordance with 33
CFR 117.5.
    Waterway usage on this part of the Willamette River includes
vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft.
Vessels able to pass through the subject bridge with the lower deck in
the closed-to-navigation position may do so at any time. The lower lift
of the Steel Bridge will be able to open for emergencies, and there is
no immediate alternate route for vessels to pass. The Coast Guard
requested objections be submitted to this deviation in the Local Notice
to Mariners. We have not received any objections to this temporary
deviation from the operating schedule. The Coast Guard will also

inform the users of the waterway through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for the subject
bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their transits to minimize
any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 27, 2018.
Steven Michael Fischer,
Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
