SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54456; File No. SR-NASD-2006-064]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment
Nos. 1 and 2 Thereto Relating to Extension of Time Requests

September 15, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On May 15, 2006, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'' or ``Exchange Act'') \1\ and
Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, a proposed rule change seeking to adopt new
Rule 3160 (``Extensions of Time under Regulation T and SEC Rule 15c3-
3''). NASD filed Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 to the proposed rule change on
May 25, 2006 and July 25, 2006, respectively.\3\ The proposed rule
change, as amended, was published in the Federal Register on August 10,
2006.\4\ The Commission received one comment letter in response to the
proposal.\5\ On September 13, 2006, the NASD filed a response to the
comment letter.\6\ This order approves the proposed rule change, as
amended.

Regulatory Policy and Oversight, to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary,
Commission, dated September 13, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    NASD is proposing to adopt new Rule 3160 to require (1) All
clearing firm members for which NASD is the designated examining
authority (``DEA'') pursuant to Rule 17d-1 under the Act to submit to
NASD requests for extensions of time under Regulation T \7\ promulgated
by the Federal Reserve Board, or pursuant to Rule 15c3-3(n) under the
Act; and (2) each clearing firm member for which NASD is the DEA to
file a monthly report with NASD indicating all broker-dealers for which
it clears that have overall ratios of requested extensions of time to
total transactions for the month that exceed a percentage specified by
NASD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 12 CFR 220.1, et. seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Requests

    As stated above, proposed NASD Rule 3160(a) would require all
clearing firm members for which NASD is DEA to submit to NASD requests
for extensions of time under Regulation T and Exchange Act Rule 15c3-
3(n). The Commission previously approved NYSE Rule 434 requiring each
carrying firm for which the NYSE is the DEA to submit extensions
requests to the NYSE.\8\ The SRO designated as a member's DEA has
responsibility for examining its members that are also members of
another SRO for compliance with applicable financial responsibility
rules such as Regulation T and Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3. NASD believes
that requiring a member to submit extension requests to its DEA helps
to ensure that the DEA receives complete extension information to
assist it in performing this function and would ensure uniform
application of standards to all customers of firms for which NASD is
the DEA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Exchange Act Release No. 34073 (May 17, 1994), 59 FR
26826 (May 24, 1994) (SR-NYSE-88-35); see also NYSE Information Memo
94-22 (June 10, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monthly Reporting Requirement

    Proposed NASD Rule 3160(b) would require each clearing firm member
for which NASD is the DEA to file a monthly report with NASD, in such
format as NASD may require, indicating all broker-dealers for which it
clears that have overall ratios of requests for extensions of time
under Regulation T and Rule 15c3-3(m) to total transactions for the
month that exceed a percentage specified by NASD. The monthly report
would require clearing firms subject to proposed NASD Rule 3160(b) to
identify, among other things: (1) The broker-dealer's name; (2) the
number of transactions by the broker-dealer for the month; (3) the
number of extension requests for the month; and (4) the ratio of the
number of extensions requested to total transactions. The rule proposal
would require that the reports be submitted no later than five business
days following the end of each reporting month. The requirements of the

proposed NASD monthly reporting requirement are consistent with the
NYSE's current program.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Exchange Act Release No. 28726 (December 28, 1990), 56
FR 540 (January 7, 1991) (SR-NYSE-89-24); and NYSE Information
Memoranda 98-09 (March 5, 1998) and 94-22 (June 10, 1994); see also
NYSE Information Memorandum 05-78 (October 12, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Summary of Comment Received and NASD Response

    The Commission received one comment letter to the proposed rule
change.\10\ The commenter stated that the proposed monthly reporting
requirement would place an undue burden on self-clearing firms and
requested that NASD amend the proposed rule to clarify that the monthly
reporting requirement applies solely to clearing firms which clear for
other broker-dealers. In its response, NASD stated that it did not
intend for the proposed monthly reporting requirement to apply to self-
clearing firms that do not clear for other broker-dealers, and that the
proposed rule would not require these self-clearing firms to file the
monthly report. \11\ Finally, NASD stated that it will reiterate this
position in the Notice to Members announcing Commission approval of the
proposed rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See supra note 5.
    \11\ See supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission has reviewed the proposed rule filing, as amended,
and finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with
the requirements of the Exchange Act, and, in particular, Section
15A(b)(6) of the Act,\12\ which requires, among other things, that
NASD's rules must be 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. The
Commission believes that the proposed rule change will further assist
NASD in ensuring that firms are complying with financial responsibility
rules and preventing the excessive use of credit for the purchase or
carrying of securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6). 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\13\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NASD-2006-064), as
amended, be, and it hereby is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \14\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\14\
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart GG) were proposed on
October 3, 1977; promulgated on September 10, 1979; and last-amended on
February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to existing facilities and
new facilities that have stationary gas turbines with a heat input at
peak load equal or greater than 10.7 gigajoules per hour (based on the
lower heating value of the fuel fired). There are no new facilities
under this subpart, as any facility which commenced construction,
modification, or reconstruction after February 18, 2005 is subject to
the NSPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart
KKKK).
    Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general
provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as for the specific
requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG. This includes submitting
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and
results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with
the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Stationary gas turbines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart GG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 535 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 69,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,000,000 (per year), includes $0 for
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Extension:
    Form T-1, OMB Control No. 3235-0110, SEC File No. 270-121.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (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.
    Form T-1 (17 CFR 269.1) is a statement of eligibility and
qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et
seq.) of a corporation designated to act as a trustee under an
indenture. The information is used to determine whether the corporation
is qualified to serve as a trustee. Form T-1 takes approximately 15
hours per response to prepare and is filed by approximately 5
respondents. We estimate that 25% of the 15 hours (4 hours per
response) is prepared by the company for a total reporting burden of 20
hours (4 hours per response x 5 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the 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 imposed by 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.

Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 22d-1; Sec File No. 270-275; OMB Control No. 3235-0310.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collections of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit these existing collections of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 22d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ``Act'')
(17 CFR 270.22d-1) provides registered

investment companies that issue redeemable securities (``funds'') an
exemption from section 22(d) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C.
80a-22(d)) to the extent necessary to permit scheduled variations in or
elimination of the sales load on fund securities for particular classes
of investors or transactions, provided certain conditions are met. The
rule imposes an annual burden per series of a fund of approximately 15
minutes, so that the total annual burden for the approximately 4862
series of funds that might rely on the rule is estimated to be 1215.5
hours.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
    Written comments are requested on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden(s)
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.

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on March 25, 2004

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 2004-17336

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

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:  VOLGA-DNEPR J.S. CARGO AIRLINE         Date Filed:  March
12, 2004, as amended March 23, 2004

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) to permit
the applicant to operate, on behalf of Lockheed Martin, two, one-way
cargo charter flights, using its AN-124-100 aircraft, during the period
March 27-31, 2004.  One flight will be from North Island NAS,
California, to Denver, Colorado, carrying one Centaur III Launch Vehicle
Upper Stage and associated equipment, and the other flight will operate
from Denver to Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying an Atlas and Centaur
IIAS Launch Vehicle and associated equipment.  The applicant stated that
Lockheed Martin urgently needs lift of the cargo in order to meet
aggressive final assembly and test schedules, following an unanticipated
manufacturing dalay, that the cargo is too large for transportation on
U.S.-carrier aircraft; and that surface transportation is not feasible
because of the cargo’s delicate nature and high value.

Applicant representative:  Glenn P. Wicks,<PHONE_NUMBER>         DOT
analyst:  Allen F. Brown,<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  Volga-Dnepr served its application on those U.S.
carriers operating large all-cargo aircraft.  Each carrier indicated
that it did not have aircraft available to conduct the proposed
operation and that it had no comment or did not oppose grant of the
requested authority.

Statutory Standards:  Under 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g), we may authorize
a foreign air carrier to carry commercial traffic between U.S. points
(i.e., cabotage traffic) under limited circumstances.  Specifically, we
must find that the authority is required in the public interest; that
because of an emergency created by unusual circumstances not arising in
the normal course of business the traffic cannot be accommodated by U.S.
carriers holding certificates under 49 U.S.C. section 41102; that all
possible efforts have been made to place the traffic on U.S. carriers;
and that the transportation is necessary to avoid unreasonable hardship
to the traffic involved (an additional required finding, concerning
emergency transportation during labor disputes, was not relevant here).

        DISPOSITION

Action: Approved
                                             Action date:  March 25,
2004

Effective dates of authority granted:  March 25, 2004, through March 31,
2004

Basis for approval:  We are granting Volga-Dnepr’s request to operate
its proposed one-way flights from North Island to Denver, and from
Denver to Cape Canaveral, through March 31, 2004.  We found that its
request met all the relevant criteria of 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) for
the grant of an exemption of this type and that the grant was required
in the public interest.  Specifically, we were persuaded that the urgent
need to move the cargo promptly to meet aggressive final assembly and
test schedules, following an unanticipated manufacturing delay, the fact
that the cargo could not be transported by surface transportation
because of its delicate nature, the potential negative impact of
delivery delay; and the unique, outsized nature of the cargo,
constituted an emergency not arising in the normal course of business.
Moreover, based on the representations of the U.S. carriers, we
concluded that no U.S. carrier had aircraft available that could be used
to conduct the operations at issue here.  We also found that grant of
this authority would prevent unreasonable hardship to Lockheed Martin.
Finally, we found that the applicant was qualified to perform its
proposed operation.

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to our
standard exemption conditions and to the condition that the applicant
must comply with an FAA-approved flight routing for the authorized
operation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would modify the National Airspace System (NAS) as
necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    The FAA is planning to decommission the Indian Head, PA, VOR in
June 2023. The Indian Head VOR was one of the candidate VORs identified
for discontinuance by the FAA's VOR MON program and listed in the Final
policy statement notice, ``Provision of Navigation Services for the
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Transition to
Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) (Plan for Establishing a VOR Minimum
Operational Network),'' published in the Federal Register of July 26,
2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA-2011-1082.
    Although the VOR portion of the Indian Head, PA, VORTAC is planned
for decommissioning, the co-located Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
portion of the NAVAID is being retained to support NextGen PBN flight
procedure requirements.
    The air traffic service (ATS) routes effected by the Indian Head
VOR decommissioning are Jet Route J-518 and VOR Federal airways V-119,
V-268, and V-474. With the planned decommissioning of the Indian Head
VOR, the remaining ground-based NAVAID coverage in the area is
insufficient to enable the continuity of the affected ATS routes. As
such, proposed modifications to V-268 and V-474 would result in the
affected airway segments being removed and the airways being shortened;
and to J-518 and V-119 would result in the ATS routes being revoked.
    To overcome the proposed modifications and revocations to the
affected ATS routes, instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic could use
portions of adjacent ATS routes, including Jet Routes J-60, J-162, and
J-211 in the high altitude enroute structure and V-12, V-44, V-469, and
V-501 in the low altitude enroute structure, or receive air traffic
control (ATC) radar vectors to circumnavigate or fly through the
affected area. Pilots equipped with RNAV capabilities could also
navigate in the high altitude and low altitude enroute structures point
to point using existing NAVAIDs and fixes that would remain in place to
support continued operations through the affected area. Visual flight
rules (VFR) pilots who elect to navigate via the affected ATS routes
could also take advantage of the adjacent ATS routes or ATC services
listed previously.
    The FAA also proposes to establish RNAV route Q-178 between the
Dryer, OH, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and the
Baltimore, MD, VORTAC NAVAIDs. The new Q-route would mitigate the
proposed revocation of J-518 due to the planned decommissioning of the
Indian Head VOR, reduce ATC sector workload and complexity, and reduce
pilot-to-controller communications. The new Q-route would also provide
RNAV equipped aircraft an ATS route alternative and support the FAA's
NextGen efforts to modernize the NAS navigation system from a ground-
based system to a satellite-based system.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend VOR
Federal airways V-268 and V-474, revoke Jet Route J-518 and VOR Federal
airway V-119, and establish RNAV route Q-178. The ATS route amendments,
revocations, and establishment are due to the planned decommissioning
of the Indian Head, PA, VOR. The proposed ATS route actions are
described below.
    J-518: J-518 currently extends between the Dryer, OH, VOR/DME and
the Baltimore, MD, VORTAC via the Indian Head, PA, VORTAC. The FAA
proposes to remove the route in its entirety.
    Q-178: Q-178 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the
Dryer, OH, VOR/DME and the Baltimore, MD, VORTAC via the LEJOY, PA, Fix
located approximately 4 nautical miles (NM) northwest of the Indian
Head VORTAC. This new Q-route would mitigate the proposed revocation of
J-518 and provide RNAV routing between the Cleveland, OH, area and the
Baltimore, MD, area. The new Q-178 would provide the high altitude
enroute structure necessary to replace the loss of J-518 and maintain
the connectivity to multiple instrument approach procedures for various
airports.
    V-119: V-119 currently extends between the Parkersburg, WV, VOR/DME
and the Indian Head, PA, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
in its entirety.
    V-268: V-268 currently extends between the intersection of the
Morgantown, WV, VOR/DME 010[deg] and Johnstown, PA, VOR/DME 260[deg]
radials (NESTO Fix) and the Augusta, ME, VOR/DME. The airspace within
restricted area R-4001B and the airspace below 2,000 feet mean sea
level (MSL) outside the United States is excluded. The FAA proposes to
remove the airway segment overlying the Indian Head VORTAC between the
NESTO Fix and the Hagerstown, MD, VOR. As amended, the airway would
extend between the Hagerstown VOR and the Augusta VOR/DME.
    V-474: V-474 currently extends between the intersection of the
Morgantown, WV, VOR/DME 010[deg] and Johnstown, PA, VOR/DME 260[deg]
radials (NESTO Fix) and the Modena, PA, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to
remove the airway segment overlying the Indian Head VORTAC between the
NESTO Fix and the St. Thomas, PA, VORTAC. As amended, the airway would
extend between the St. Thomas VORTAC and the Modena VORTAC.
    The NAVAID radials listed in the ATS route descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004, United States Area
Navigation Routes (Q-routes) are published in paragraph 2006, and VOR
Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order JO
7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The ATS routes and reporting point listed in this document would
be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
