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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules relating to the
implementation of the PAR Official program to extend the deadline for
implementation to March 24, 2006. In addition, the Exchange proposes to
amend and re-issue regulatory circular RG05-116, DPM Obligations Until
the Implementation of the PAR Official Program, to incorporate the
revised deadline. The text of the proposed rule change follows, with
additions in italics and deletions in [brackets]. The text of the
proposed regulatory circular is available at CBOE's Web site (http://www.cboe.org/legal/default.aspx
), at CBOE's principal office, and at

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these 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 aspects of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this proposed rule change is to extend the
Exchange's deadline for assigning a PAR Official to all applicable
trading stations from February 16, 2006 to March 24, 2006.\6\ On
November 18, 2005 (``approval date''), the Commission approved

CBOE's proposal to remove a DPM's obligation to execute orders as an
agent, including as a floor broker, in its allocated securities on the
Exchange in any trading station and to allow the Exchange to appoint an
Exchange employee or independent contractor (``PAR Official'') to
assume many of the functions and obligations that DPMs previously held
(``PAR Official Rule Change'').\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See CBOE Rule 7.12, Interpretation and Policy .01.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52798 (November 18,
2005), 70 FR 71344 (November 28, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Among other things, the PAR Official Rule Change gave the Exchange
ninety days after the approval date to implement the PAR Official Rule
Change or, more specifically, to ensure that a PAR Official was
assigned to each DPM trading station. The 90-day implementation period
ended on February 16, 2006.\8\ In addition, the PAR Official Rule
Change exempted DPM organizations for the same period of time from
complying with the seat ownership requirement of CBOE Rule 8.85(e)
under certain circumstances.\9\ Specifically, CBOE Rule 8.85(e)
provides, in part, that a DPM organization will be exempt until
February 16, 2006 from the requirement to own at least one Exchange
membership for each trading location that the DPM organization is the
appointed DPM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See supra note 6.
    \9\ CBOE Rule 8.85(e) provides in part that a DPM organization
will be exempt from the seat ownership requirement under Rule
8.85(e) if the DPM organization fell out of compliance because the
Exchange membership used to satisfy the requirement was, at the time
the DPM organization fell out of compliance, held by an individual
whose affiliation with the DPM organization was terminated as a
result of the implementation of the PAR Official Rule; Rule 7.12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has determined that, primarily due to the lengthy
process involved in hiring and properly training a sufficient number of
personnel to adequately assume all PAR Official functions, the Exchange
will require additional time to assign PAR Officials to each DPM
trading station. As such, the Exchange proposes to extend both the PAR
Official implementation deadline and the seat ownership exemption
deadline to March 24, 2006.
    Because the Exchange anticipated that PAR Officials would not be
assigned to all DPM trading stations immediately upon the approval of
the PAR Official Rule Change, the Exchange issued a regulatory circular
that had the effect of subjecting any such DPMs to the same rules and
obligations that governed DPM operations and that were eliminated with
the approval of the rule change.\10\ Concurrent with the filing of this
proposed rule change, the Exchange also proposes to reissue the
aforementioned regulatory circular, amended to reflect the new March
24, 2006 deadline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See CBOE Regulatory Circular RG05-116, DPM Obligations
Until the Implementation of the PAR Official Program, dated November
18, 2005. Immediately upon approval of the PAR Official Rule Change,
the Exchange filed the regulatory circular with the Commission
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act, 15 U.S.C.
78s(b)(3)(A)(iii), and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder, 17 CFR 240.19b-
4(f)(6). See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52860 (November 30,
2005), 70 FR 72867 (December 7, 2005) (Notice of filing for
immediate effectiveness of SR-CBOE-2005-100). The regulatory
circular governed the operations of those DPMs that were not
immediately included in the PAR Official conversion as of November
18, 2005, and the rules and obligations set forth therein were
adopted directly from the former (that is, the pre-PAR Official Rule
Change) DPM rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that, because the proposed rule change will
refine and enhance its members' abilities to meet certain regulatory
requirements, the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)
\11\ of the Act in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) \12\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change, as amended, has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \14\ thereunder because it (i) does not significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not
impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) does not become
operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, provided that the self-
regulatory organization has given the Commission written notice of its
intent to file the proposed rule change at least five business days
prior to the filing date of the proposed rule change, or such shorter
time as the Commission may designate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the five-day
pre-filing requirement and the 30-day operative delay of Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) so that the proposed rule change may become effective
immediately. The Commission believes that waiving the pre-filing
requirement and the operative delay is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest because it would allow the
Exchange's transition to the use of PAR Officials to continue. In
addition, this proposed rule change is necessary for those DPMs that
continue to operate under the pre-PAR Official program rules.
Therefore, the Commission has determined to waive the pre-filing
requirement and the operative delay and allow the proposed rule change
to become operative immediately.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay of this
proposal, the Commission notes that it has considered the proposed
rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15
U.S.C. 78c(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, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Comments may be

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2013-1060; 1625-AA00]

Safety Zones; Eighth Coast Guard District Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its current list of
recurring safety zone regulations that take place in the Eighth Coast
Guard District area of responsibility (AOR). This final rule informs
the public of regularly scheduled events that require additional safety
measures through establishing a safety zone. Through this final rule,
the list of recurring safety zones is updated with revisions,
additional events, and removal of events that no longer take place in
the Eighth Coast Guard District AOR. When these safety zones are
enforced, vessel traffic is restricted from specified areas.
Additionally, this one rulemaking project reduces administrative costs
involved in producing a separate rule for each individual recurring
safety zone and serves to provide notice of the known recurring safety
zones throughout the year.

DATES: This rule is effective August 18, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of Docket
Number [USCG-2013-1060]. To view documents mentioned in this preamble

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard preceded this final rule with an interim final rule
with request for comments. The interim rule was published in the
Federal Register on April 22, 2014, [79 FR 22398]. The interim rule
established separate tables for each of the Sectors operating within
the Coast Guard's Eighth District and updated the list of recurring
safety zones under 33 CFR 165. Although no adverse comments were
received, some comments to further update the recurring list were
received. Because the interim rule and now this final rule establish
separate tables for each Sector within the Eighth District, further
updates will now be made by each Sector individually, impacting only
their table of recurring safety zones.
    The list of annual and recurring safety zones occurring in the
Eighth Coast Guard District AOR is published under 33 CFR 165.801. That
list was originally created May 16, 2012 through a previous rulemaking,
[77 FR 2876] and received no adverse comments.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorize the Coast
Guard to define regulatory safety zones. The Coast Guard is amending
and updating the safety zone regulations under 33 CFR part 165 to
include the most up to date list of recurring safety zones for events
held on or around navigable waters within the Eighth Coast Guard
District. These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other
marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting
vessel traffic for safety purposes. The list under 33 CFR 165.801
requires amending to provide new information on existing safety zones,
and updating to include new safety zones expected to recur annually or
biannually and to remove safety

zones that are no longer required. Issuing individual regulations for
each new safety zone, amendment, or removal of an existing safety zone
creates unnecessary administrative costs and burdens. This single
rulemaking considerably reduces administrative overhead and provides
the public with notice through publication in the Federal Register of
the upcoming recurring safety zone regulations.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    No adverse comments were received. Some comments regarding further
updates to the recurring list were received. Because the interim rule
and now this final rule establish separate tables for each Sector
within the Eighth District, further updates will now be made by each
sector individually, impacting only their table of recurring safety
zones.
    No changes to the rule have been made from the interim rule and
request for comments.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    This rule establishes safety zones limiting access to certain areas
under 33 CFR 165 within the Eighth Coast Guard District. The effect of
this rulemaking will not be significant because these safety zones are
limited in scope and duration.
    Additionally, the public is given advance notification through
local forms of notice, the Federal Register, and/or Notices of
Enforcement and thus will be able to plan operations around the safety
zones in advance. Deviation from the safety zones established through
this rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests
will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which might be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the safety zone areas during periods of enforcement. The safety zones
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities because they are limited in scope and will be in effect
for short periods of time. Before the enforcement period, the Coast
Guard COTP will issue maritime advisories widely available to waterway
users. Deviation from the safety zones established through this
rulemaking may be requested from the appropriate COTP and requests will
be considered on a case-by-case basis.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded from further review
under section 2.B.2 figure 2-1, paragraph 34(g) of the Commandant
Instruction because it involves the establishment of safety zones. An
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under the
ADDRESSES.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

    Accordingly, the interim rule amending 33 CFR part 165 that
published at 79 FR 22398 on April 22, 2014, is adopted as a final rule
without change.

    Dated: July 27, 2015.

under 14 CFR part 121 as prescribed in 14 CFR part 117, 117.11 and
117.19 of the Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Requirements. The purpose
for the reports is to notify the FAA that the certificate holder has
extended a flight time and/or FDP limitation. Additionally, if air
carriers choose to develop a Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) they
are required to collect data specific to the need of the operation for
which they will seek an FRMS authorization. It will result in an annual
recordkeeping and reporting burden if some of industry carriers
eventually adopt the system so that they need to report the related
activities to the FAA. Each air carrier is required to develop specific
elements and incorporate these elements into their training program.
Once the elements have been incorporated, the air carrier must submit
the revised training program for approval.
    Respondents: 67 certificated air carriers.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,178 hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52502; File No. SR-PCX-2005-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Pacific Exchange, Inc.; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto Relating to
Proposed New Listing Fees

September 23, 2005.

I. Introduction

    On February 28, 2005, the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'' or
``Exchange''), through its wholly-owned subsidiary PCX Equities, Inc.,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ to
increase certain portions of its listing fees and to make a number of
related modifications. On June 15, 2005, PCX amended the proposed rule
change. The proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, was
published for comment in the Federal Register on August 16, 2005.\3\
The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52225 (August 8,
2005), 70 FR 48224.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    PCX is proposing to amend its Schedule of Fees and Charges, as
follows: (1) Implement new initial listing fees specifically for common
stock issued in initial public offerings and listed exclusively by PCX
for trading on the Archipelago Exchange (``ArcaEx''), a facility of
PCX, and make related modifications to the initial listing fees; (2)
exempt from initial listing fees already-public issues which are listed
and/or quoted on other marketplaces, whether or not dually listed; (3)
exempt from annual maintenance fees transfer listings for the first 12
calendar months after listing, whether or not dually listed; (4) revise
the annual maintenance fees; and (5) revise the additional shares
listing fees.

III. Discussion

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of Section
6(b) of the Act \4\ and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable
to a national securities exchange.\5\ In particular, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act,\6\ which requires, among other things, that an exchange's
rules provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees,
and other charges among issuers and other persons using its facilities.
The Commission notes that the Exchange does not believe that the
proposed listing fee changes, including the proposed exemptions from
certain listing fees, would negatively impact the Exchange's regulatory
program. Further, the Commission notes that PCX has committed extensive
resources to its listings program since the ArcaEx began operating as a
facility of PCX. Finally, the Commission believes that the proposal
might also serve to enhance competition among listing markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \5\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\7\ that the proposed rule change (SR-PCX-2005-19), as amended, be,
and it hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).
