SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-98023]

Order Granting a Temporary Conditional Exemption Pursuant to
Section 36(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 608(e)
of Regulation NMS Under the Exchange Act, Relating to the Reporting of
Certain Activities on the Floor of National Securities Exchanges and
Certain Activities by Industry Members Off Exchange Floors, as Required
by Section 6.4(d) of the National Market System Plan Governing the
Consolidated Audit Trail

I. Introduction

    By letter dated March 31, 2023, BOX Exchange LLC, Cboe BYX
Exchange, Inc., Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc., Cboe
EDGX Exchange, Inc., Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc., Cboe Exchange, Inc.,
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., Investors Exchange LLC,
Long-Term Stock Exchange, Inc., MEMX LLC, Miami International
Securities Exchange LLC, MIAX Emerald, LLC, MIAX PEARL, LLC, NASDAQ BX,

LLC, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE
American LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., NYSE Chicago, Inc., and NYSE National,
Inc., (collectively, the ``Participants'' or ``SROs'') requested that
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') grant temporary
conditional exemptive relief to the Participants from the National
Market System Plan Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail (``CAT NMS
Plan''),\1\ pursuant to its authority under section 36(a)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \2\ and Rule 608(e)
of Regulation NMS under the Exchange Act, from certain reporting
requirements in section 6.4(d) of the CAT NMS Plan relating to certain
activities on the floors of national securities exchanges and certain
activities by Industry Members off exchange floors (``upstairs
activity'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The CAT NMS Plan was approved by the Commission, as
modified, on November 15, 2016. See Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 79318 (November 15, 2016), 81 FR 84696 (November 23, 2016)
(``CAT NMS Plan Approval Order'').
    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm(a)(1).
    \3\ See letter from the Participants to Vanessa Countryman,
Secretary, Commission, dated March 31, 2023 (the ``March 31, 2023
Exemption Request''). Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms are
used as defined in the CAT NMS Plan. ``Upstairs'' is a term used to
describe the off-exchange market. For example, trading that occurs
within a broker-dealer firm or between two broker-dealers in the
over-the-counter market would be described as occurring
``upstairs.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 36(a)(1) of the Exchange Act grants the Commission the
authority, with certain limitations, to ``conditionally or
unconditionally exempt any person, security, or transaction . . . from
any provision or provisions of [the Exchange Act] or of any rule or
regulation thereunder, to the extent that such exemption is necessary
or appropriate in the public interest, and is consistent with the
protection of investors.'' \4\ Under Rule 608(e) of Regulation NMS, the
Commission may ``exempt from [Rule 608], either unconditionally or on
specified terms and conditions, any self-regulatory organization,
member thereof, or specified security, if the Commission determines
that such exemption is consistent with the public interest, the
protection of investors, the maintenance of fair and orderly markets
and the removal of impediments to, and perfection of the mechanism of,
a national market system.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm(a)(1).
    \5\ 17 CFR 242.608(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons set forth below, the Commission believes that it is
consistent with the purposes of the Exchange Act to grant temporary
conditional exemptive relief relating to the reporting of: (1) Floor
broker verbal announcements of firm orders on an exchange that are
otherwise reported as systematized orders; (2) market maker verbal
announcements of firm quotes on an exchange trading floor; (3)
telephone discussions between an Industry Member and a client that may
involve firm bid and offer communications; and (4) unstructured
electronic and verbal communications that are not currently captured by
Industry Member order management or execution systems (e.g., Bloomberg
chats, text messages), subject to certain conditions, and expiring on
July 31, 2026.

II. Background and Request for Relief

    On November 12, 2020, pursuant to section 36(a)(1) of the Exchange
Act,\6\ and Rule 608(e) of the Exchange Act,\7\ the Commission granted
the Participants an exemption, until July 31, 2023, from the
requirement in section 6.4(d) of the CAT NMS Plan that requires each
Participant, through its Compliance Rule, to require its Industry
Members to record and electronically report to the Central Repository:
(1) Floor broker verbal announcements of firm orders on an exchange
that are otherwise reported as systematized orders; (2) market maker
verbal announcements of firm quotes on an exchange trading floor; (3)
telephone discussions between an Industry Member and a client that may
involve firm bid and offer communications; and (4) unstructured
electronic and verbal communications that are not currently captured by
Industry Member order management or execution systems (e.g., Bloomberg
chats, text messages), subject to certain conditions.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78mm(a)(1).
    \7\ 17 CFR 242.608(e).
    \8\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90405, 85 FR 73544
(November 18, 2020) (the ``2020 Order'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the March 31, 2023 Exemption Request, the Participants request
that the Commission extend the temporary exemptive relief granted in
the 2020 Order for an additional three years, to July 31, 2026. In
support of their request, the Participants reiterate their belief that
the verbal floor activity and unstructured verbal and electronic
upstairs activity at issue were not previously contemplated by Rule 613
or the CAT NMS Plan.\9\ The Participants state that the Commission
disagreed with the Participants' view in the 2020 Order, but did not
cite to any discussion in the CAT NMS Plan or the CAT NMS Plan Adopting
Release regarding the activity at issue, nor did the Commission address
the Participants' assertion that there was no cost-benefit analysis
related to the capture and reporting of this activity in the CAT NMS
Plan Adopting Release.\10\

    \9\ March 31, 2023 Exemptive Request, at 4.
    \10\ See id. at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Participants also state that potential technological or
business breakthroughs contemplated by the 2020 Order have not
materialized, with neither natural language processing nor voice
recognition technology currently sophisticated enough to reliably,
accurately and consistently capture, parse and analyze and report
interactions in the current trading environments and workflows.\11\
Accordingly, the Participants state that they, CAT Advisory Committee
members, and Industry Member groups, including the Financial
Information Forum (FIF), have considered this issue and continue to
believe that capturing and interpreting this activity in an

automated manner without human intervention is not possible with
current technology, nor would it be cost-effective to manually capture
this activity.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See id. at 5.
    \12\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Participants also state that manually capturing and reporting
verbal activity would be costly, inconsistent, prone to error, and
disruptive.\13\ The Participants state that manually capturing these
events is impracticable and not cost-effective because it would require
listening to every verbal interaction either live or from tape and/or
sifting through electronic communications, and that the determination
of whether unstructured electronic and verbal activity involves a firm
bid or offer is a manual, subjective process that could be highly prone
to error resulting in overreporting and/or underreporting to the
CAT.\14\ This would lead to inconsistent or less accurate data across
CAT Reporters, because Industry Members will capture the same activity
differently, resulting in misleading or incomplete views of
transactions and limit regulators' ability to determine compliance with
any reporting requirement.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See id. at 5-6.
    \14\ See id.
    \15\ See id. at 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Participants do not believe that the reporting of
the verbal and manual quotes and orders at issue in the 2020 Order
would provide meaningful value from a regulatory or surveillance
perspective.\16\ The Participants state that orders on exchange floors
are systematized and reportable to CAT, and manual orders in ``upstairs
activity'' whether or not trades occur on an exchange floor or off-
floor are also reportable to CAT.\17\ The Participants also represent
that the CAT Advisory Committee believes that bilateral negotiations in
upstairs activity, such as between asset brokers and broker-dealers, or
between two broker-dealers, are currently captured when the broker
either creates an order, as in from an asset manager, or accepts an
order, as in from another broker-dealer, and when the trade execution
occurs.\18\ The Participants also state that verbal floor and
unstructured verbal and electronic upstairs activities do not lend
themselves to the types of market manipulation considered in the
adoption of Rule 613, and that the costs of compliance would outweigh
any incremental value for regulatory or surveillance purposes.\19\

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

III. Discussion of Participants' Exemption Request

    The Commission has carefully considered the Participants' exemption
request. The Commission believes that extending temporary exemptive
relief is, pursuant to section 36(a)(1) of the Exchange Act,
appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the protection
of investors, and that pursuant to Rule 608(e), this exemption is
consistent with the public interest, the protection of investors, the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets and the removal of impediments
to, and the perfection of a national market system.
    The Participants dispute the Commission's position that verbal and
manual quotes and orders are required to be reported to the CAT.\20\
Because the Commission believes that the Participants' request for an
extension of the temporary exemption from these reporting requirements
is reasonable, we do not address their arguments here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See 2020 Order, supra note 8, at 73547; CAT NMS Plan at
Section 1.1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that extending the temporary exemptive
relief should allow Participants and Industry Members time to
collaborate, develop, and implement a reporting framework, guidelines,
FAQs, and scenarios necessary for effective and efficient reporting of
floor-based verbal quotes and order and upstairs activity.
    Based on the foregoing, pursuant to section 36(a)(1) of the
Exchange Act, it is appropriate in the public interest and consistent
with the protection of investors, and pursuant to Rule 608(e), it is
consistent with the public interest, the protection of investors, the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets and the removal of impediments
to, and the perfection of a national market system to extend
conditional temporary relief for the reporting of: (1) Floor broker
verbal announcements of firm orders on an exchange that are otherwise
reported as systematized orders; (2) market maker verbal announcements
of firm quotes on an exchange trading floor; (3) telephone discussions
between an Industry Member and a client that may involve firm bid and
offer communications; and (4) unstructured electronic and verbal
communications that are not currently captured by Industry Member order
management or execution systems (e.g., Bloomberg chats, text messages).
Extending the temporary exemptive relief until July 31, 2026, would
provide Participants the time to develop and implement any necessary
reporting guidance, specifications, and any technical changes to the
CAT and is approximately four years after the date by which the
Participants previously estimated that the CAT would be fully
implemented, July 11, 2022.\21\ It would also provide CAT Reporters the
time to fully consider and implement how to report such events and
create the necessary technological and process changes required to
capture these required quotes and orders while minimizing potential
business disruptions and impacts to existing workflows. However, the
Commission believes it is appropriate to provide exemptive relief
subject to certain conditions discussed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88890 (May 15,
2020), 85 FR 31322, 31334 (May 22, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    The Commission believes it is appropriate to extend the temporary
exemptive relief that exempts each Participant from the requirement in
section 6.4(d) of the CAT NMS Plan for each Participant, through its
Compliance Rule, to require its Industry Members to record and
electronically report to the Central Repository the following
communications, until July 31, 2026: (1) Floor broker verbal
announcements of firm orders on an exchange that are otherwise reported
as systematized orders; (2) market maker verbal announcements of firm
quotes on an exchange trading floor; (3) telephone discussions between
an Industry Member and a client that may involve firm bid and offer
communications; and (4) unstructured electronic and verbal
communications that are not currently captured by Industry Member order
management or execution systems (e.g., Bloomberg chats, text messages).
    As a condition to this relief, the Participants must provide the
Commission a written status update on the reporting of these quotes and
orders by July 31, 2025, including, for both verbal activity on
exchange floors and upstairs activity separately, an analysis of the
feasibility of traders contemporaneously recording firm bid and offer
information for verbal and manual quotes and orders, and an
implementation plan for the reporting of these quotes and orders.
Furthermore, this implementation plan for the reporting of these quotes
and orders must: (1) identify verbal and manual workflows to facilitate
the reporting of these quotes and orders; (2) provide or reference
published guidelines for

Industry Members for determining when verbal or manual communications
become firm and are required to be reported; and (3) provide or
reference published technical specifications to allow for the reporting
of verbal and manual quotes and orders by Industry Members. The purpose
of these conditions is to help ensure that the Participants establish a
framework necessary to permit the reporting of verbal and manual quotes
and orders by Industry Members before the expiration of the temporary
conditional exemptive relief.
    Accordingly, it is hereby ordered, pursuant to section 36(a)(1) of
the Exchange Act,\22\ and Rule 608(e) of the Exchange Act \23\ that the
Participants are granted an exemption, until July 31, 2026, from the
requirement in section 6.4(d) of the CAT NMS Plan that requires each
Participant, through its Compliance Rule, to require its Industry
Members to record and electronically report to the Central Repository:
(1) Floor broker verbal announcements of firm orders on an exchange
that are otherwise reported as systematized orders; (2) market maker
verbal announcements of firm quotes on an exchange trading floor; (3)
telephone discussions between an Industry Member and a client that may
involve firm bid and offer communications; and (4) unstructured
electronic and verbal communications that are not currently captured by
Industry Member order management or execution systems (e.g., Bloomberg
chats, text messages), subject to the conditions described above.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2010-0100]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on December 10, 2020,
Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railroad (BRG) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a modification to its waiver
of compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR parts 232, Brake System Safety
Standards for Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment;
End-Of-Train Devices, and 215, Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards.
FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0100.
    Specifically, BRG seeks a modification to its waiver of compliance
with certain requirements of 49 CFR part 215, and 49 CFR 232.205, Class
I Brake Test--Initial Terminal Inspection. Presently, BRG's relief
permits trains transferred by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) from
the US/Mexico border interchange with the Kansas City Southern de
Mexico Railway (KCSM) at Brownsville, Texas, to move from BRG's
interchange point with UP at milepost (MP) 4.48 to the BRG inspection
point between MPs 8.0 and 9.0, where required FRA inspections are
performed (see Docket Number FRA-2007-28340). Occasionally, trains
destined for interchange to BRG are delayed at UP's Olmito Yard by
additional Federal agency inspection activities. BRG is permitted to
pick up trains at Olmito Yard (in lieu of the interchange point at MP
4.48) on those occasions and perform the required FRA inspections
between MPs 8.0 and 9.0 in accordance with its present relief.
    In its petition, BRG requests that the track covered under this
waiver be extended an additional three miles through the end of the
Palo Alto Subdivision, which terminates at MP 0.0, and onto BRG's South
Lead, where the required inspections will be completed between MPs 2.0
and 3.0, as were previously completed between MPs 8.0 and 9.0 on the
Palo Alto Subdivision. BRG states that it will adhere to the same
conditions outlined in FRA's decision letter dated December 18, 2017,
at the proposed new inspection point.
    In support of its petition, BRG states this waiver would help
expedite any delays caused by required port of entry inspections and
other unforeseen delays. The modification would provide capacity to
process two inbound trains back-to-back, allowing for more efficient
use of bridge windows. Trains from the KCSM Matamoros Yard to the Port
of Brownsville (Port) travel less than 25 miles. BRG further states
that its request will facilitate international trade between the United
States and Mexico by allowing inbound trains to go directly to the
Port. The Port is a more secure location to inspect the incoming
trains, and operational efficiencies are gained by moving the cars
directly into the serving yard. BRG states that the change will support
the ongoing extensive growth in the Rio Grande Valley.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Website: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by March 15, 2021 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be
considered if practicable.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the
individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if
submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.).
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I would only hope that as a former cigarette smoker who has tried for over 30 years to rid myself of that nasty habit, that others who are struggling to quit cigarettes have the same chance that I had with great success. That success was only achievable via electronic cigarettes. I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

Dave, the ex-cigarette smoker!

RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Gulf of Mexico; Englewood, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish special local regulation
on the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of Englewood,
Florida during the OPA World Championships High Speed Boat Race, an
annually recurring event in the month of November. The special local
regulation is necessary to protect the safety of race participants,
participant vessels, spectators, and the general public on navigable
waters of the United States during the event. The special local
regulation will establish the following three areas: A race area where
all persons and vessels, except those persons and vessels participating
in the high speed boat races, are prohibited from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining within; a spectator area where all
vessels must be anchored or operate at No Wake Speed; and an
enforcement area where designated representatives may control vessel
traffic as determined by the prevailing conditions.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before October 26, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2017-0598 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish a special local regulation on
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of Englewood, Florida
during the OPA World Championships High Speed Boat Race. The race
normally occurs annually from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the third weekend of
November (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Approximately 60 boats,
ranging in length from 22 feet to 50 feet, traveling at speeds in
excess of 77 miles per hour are expected to participate. Additionally,
it is anticipated that 100 spectator vessels will be present along the
race course.
    This proposed rulemaking is necessary to provide for the safety of
race participants, participant vessels, spectators, and the general
public on these navigable waters of the United States during the OPA
World Championships. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking under
authority in 33 U.S.C. 1233.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rulemaking would establish a special local regulation
that will encompass certain waters of the Gulf of Mexico in Englewood,
Florida. The special local regulation will be enforced daily from 9:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m. during the race event. The special local
regulation will establish the following three areas: (1) A race area
where all persons and vessels, except those persons and vessels
participating in the high speed boat races, are prohibited from
entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within; (2) a
spectator area where all vessels must be anchored or operate at No Wake
Speed; and (3) an enforcement area where designated representatives may
control vessel traffic as determined by the prevailing conditions.
    Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area by contacting
the Captain of the Port (COTP) St. Petersburg by telephone at (727)
824-7506, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16.
If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the regulated area is granted by the COTP St. Petersburg or a
designated representative, all persons and vessels receiving such
authorization must comply with the instructions of the COTP St.
Petersburg or a designated representative. The Coast Guard will provide
notice of the special local regulations by Local Notice to Mariners
and/or Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

IV. 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 and executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation will be enforced
for only eight hours on three days; (2) although persons and vessels
may not enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
regulated area without authorization from the COTP St. Petersburg or a
designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding area
during the enforcement period; (3) persons and vessels may still enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area or
anchor in the spectator area, during the enforcement period if
authorized by the COTP St. Petersburg or a designated representative;
and (4) the Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the
special local regulation to the local maritime community by Local
Notice to Mariners and/or Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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
would not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of the Gulf
of Mexico encompassed within the special local regulation may be small
entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A above, this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner
or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    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 proposed 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
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. 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).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. 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 would not result
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves a special
local regulation issued in conjunction with a regatta or marine parade.
Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54070; File No. SR-Phlx-2005-73)]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment Nos. 1
and 2 Thereto Relating to the Exchange's Obvious Error Rule

June 29, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On November 14, 2005, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.
(``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend Phlx Rule 1092 with
respect to: (1) the definition of ``obvious error'' and (2) the
definition of ``Theoretical Price.'' On November 18, 2005, the Phlx
submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\3\ On April 6,
2006, the Phlx submitted Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule
change.\4\ The proposed rule change and Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 were
published for comment in the Federal Register on May 15, 2006.\5\ The
Commission received no comments on the proposal. This order approves
the proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 corrected technical errors in the proposed
rule text.
    \4\ Amendment No. 2 deleted the proposed revisions to Phlx Rule
1092(c) that related to an erroneous print disseminated by the
underlying market that is later cancelled or corrected by the
underlying market and an erroneous quote in the underlying market.
Thus, the Exchange does not propose to make any changes to Phlx Rule
1092(c).
    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53776 (May 9, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Phlx proposes to amend its Obvious Error Rule, Phlx Rule 1092.
Currently, Phlx Rule 1092(a) defines ``obvious error'' as the execution
price of a transaction that is higher or lower than the Theoretical
Price (if the Theoretical Price is less than $3.00) for the series by
an amount of 35 cents or more, or, during unusual market conditions
(i.e., the Exchange has declared an unusual market condition status for
the option in question), by an amount of 50 cents or more. Where the
Theoretical Price is $3.00 or more, ``obvious error'' is defined as the
execution price of a transaction that is higher or lower than the
Theoretical Price for the series by an amount equal to at least two
times the allowable maximum bid/ask spread for the series, so long as
the amount is 50 cents or more, and three times the allowable bid/ask
spread during unusual market conditions.
    The proposed rule change would revise the definition of ``obvious
error'' by deeming an ``obvious error'' to have occurred when the
execution price of a transaction is higher or lower than the
Theoretical Price for a series by an amount equal to at least the
amount shown below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Minimum
                      Theoretical price                          amount
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below $2.....................................................       $.25
$2 to $5.....................................................        .40
Above $5 to $10..............................................        .50
Above $10 to $20.............................................        .80
Above $20....................................................       1.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed new definition of ``obvious
error'' would facilitate the efficient determination by Floor Officials
regarding whether a trade resulted from an obvious error by setting
minimum amounts by which the transaction price differs from the
Theoretical Price without requiring such Floor Officials to conduct an
inquiry into the volume of all exchanges each time they review a
transaction under the rule. The proposed definition of ``obvious
error'' would apply during both normal and unusual market conditions,
which in the Exchange's view would further streamline the Floor
Officials' process of determining whether an obvious error exists.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Commission recently approved the Exchange's proposal to
establish the position of neutral Referee who, among other things,
would review Floor Officials' obvious error rulings. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 53548 (March 24, 2006), 71 FR 16389 (March
31, 2006) (SR-Phlx-2005-42).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx Rule 1092(b) defines ``Theoretical Price'' as the last bid or
offer, just prior to the transaction, on the exchange that has the most
total volume in that option over the most recent 60 calendar days; or,
if there are no quotes for comparison purposes, as determined by two
Floor Officials and designated personnel in the Exchange's Market
Surveillance Department. The proposed rule change would revise the
definition of ``Theoretical Price'' as, respecting series traded on at
least one other options exchange, the mid-point of the National Best
Bid and Offer (``NBBO'') just prior to the transaction.
    According to the Exchange, currently all options exchanges,
including the Phlx, have rules permitting specialists and market makers
to disseminate electronic quotations with a bid/ask differential of up
to $5.00, regardless of the price of the bid.\7\ For the most part, the
Phlx believes that such quotations do not reflect the NBBO. Under
current Phlx Rule 1092, the Theoretical Price, defined as the last bid
or offer just prior to the transaction on the market with the highest
volume, could differ from the NBBO by a significant amount if the bid/
ask differential on such market in the series is $5.00 wide. To account
for this potential discrepancy between the Theoretical Price as
established by rule

and the actual NBBO, the proposal would revise the definition of the
term ``Theoretical Price'' to mean the mid-point of the NBBO just prior
to the transaction. The Exchange believes that this new definition
should provide Exchange Floor Officials with a more accurate measure of
the price on which to base their determination that a transaction
resulted from an obvious error. The Exchange also proposes to delete
Commentary .02 to Phlx Rule 1092 from the Rule.\8\ This Commentary sets
forth how Theoretical Price would be determined under current Phlx Rule
1092(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See, e.g., Exchange Rule 1014(c)(i)(A)(2).
    \8\ Phlx Rule 1092(b) would retain the provision that if there
are no quotes for comparison purposes, two Floor Officials and
designated personnel in the Exchange's Market Surveillance
Department would determine Theoretical Price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange \9\ and, in
particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act \10\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder. Specifically, the Commission finds
that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in
that the proposal promotes just and equitable principles of trade,
removes impediments to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open
market and a national market system, and protects investors and the
public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission considers that in most circumstances trades that are
executed between parties should be honored. On rare occasions, the
price of the executed trade indicates an ``obvious error'' may exist,
suggesting that it is unrealistic to expect that the parties to the
trade had come to a meeting of the minds regarding the terms of the
transaction. In the Commission's view, the determination of whether an
``obvious error'' has occurred should be based on specific and
objective criteria and subject to specific and objective procedures.
The Phlx's proposal would provide specific and objective numerical
criteria to be used by Floor Officials to determine whether a
particular transaction involved an obvious error. In addition, the
Exchange's proposal to base the definition of Theoretical Price on the
midpoint of the NBBO would ensure that the Phlx's obvious error rule is
consistent with the Options Intermarket Linkage Plan, which requires
exchanges to avoid trade-throughs. Accordingly, the Commission finds
that the Exchange's proposal is consistent with the Act.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\12\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Phlx-2005-73), as amended,
is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\13\

Secretary.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? This notice announces receipt by the Agency of requests from Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited and Bayer Environmental Science to cancel the registrations of three pesticide products registered under section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act ( FIFRA). These three registrations constitute all registrations held by Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited and Bayer Environmental Science of products containing 4 chloro alpha( 1 methylethyl) benzeneacetic acid, cyano( 3 phenoxyphenyl) methyl ester ( fenvalerate). These requests are submitted pursuant to section 6( f) of FIFRA. Fenvalerate is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide which is used to control insects and related organisms, molluscs, fouling organisms and miscellaneous invertebrates on agricultural, pet care, domestic home and garden ( domestic), and commercial/ industrial/ food and non food/ mosquito abatement ( commercial) sites. On April 10, 2003, Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited and on April 22, 2003, Bayer Environmental Science requested that EPA waive the 180   day period that typically has been allowed before requests for voluntary cancellation are approved or denied. These registrations are listed in sequence by registration number in Table 1 of this unit:

TABLE 1.   REGISTRATIONS WITH PENDING REQUESTS FOR CANCELLATION Registration No. Product Name Chemical Name 432   766 Technical Fenvalerate Insecticide Fenvalerate 432   767 Gold Crest TributeTermiticide/ Insecticide Fenvalerate 10308   13 Technical Sumicidin Insecticide Fenvalerate At the close of the comment period, EPA intends to issue an order granting these cancellation requests, unless the Agency receives any substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or the requests have been withdrawn. Users of these pesticides or anyone else desiring the retention of a registration should send in their comments to EPA. In addition, they may wish to contact the applicable registrant directly. Table 2 of this unit includes the names and addresses of record for all registrants of the products in Table 1 of this unit, in sequence by EPA company number:

TABLE 2.   REGISTRANTS REQUESTING VOLUNTARY CANCELLATION EPA Company No. Company Name and Address 432 Bayer Environmental Science, 95 Chestnut Ridge Road, Montvale, NJ 07645 10308 Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited, 5 33 Kitahama 4 Chome, Chuo ku Osaka, 541, Japan III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 6( f)( 1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be canceled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register and provide a 30   day period in which the public may comment before the Agency may act on the request for voluntary cancellation. In the case of minor agricultural uses, section 6( f)( 1)( c) of FIFRA provides for a 180   day comment period under certain circumstances. In this case, Bayer Environmental Science, and Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited have requested that EPA waive the 180   day comment period. Accordingly, pursuant to section 6( f)( 1)( c)( ii) of FIFRA. EPA is waiving the 180   day comment period and will provide interested parties 30 days to comment on the action.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before August 11, 2003. This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6( f)( 1) request listed in this notice. If the product( s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill any applicable unsatisfied data requirements. Any person, including the registrant, who wishes to support the continued registration of fenvalerate, must fulfil all outstanding data gaps. In addition, EPA must find that fenvalerate is eligible for reregistration.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year after the date the cancellation is requested. This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as prescribed in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 ( 56 FR 29362) ( FRL   3846   4). Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration requirements, or is subject to a Data Call In. In all cases, product specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders. In this case, the Agency does not see a need to deviate from the Existing Stocks Policy. Unless the Agency receives substantive comments during the comment period that would merit its further review of this matter, the Agency intends to permit the registrants to sell and distribute the existing stocks for 1 year VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 15: 20 Jul 10, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 11JYN1. SGM 11JYN1 41345 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 133 / Friday, July 11, 2003 / Notices after the effective date of the cancellation. Although in its original voluntary cancellation letter, Bayer requested 18 months to address any remaining stocks, in subsequent communication with the Agency, Bayer accepted a 12   month period for sale and distribution of the existing stocks. Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply with the EPA approved label and labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a Special Review action, or where the Agency has identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical. In this case, the Agency does not see a need to deviate from these general rules. Unless the Agency receives substantive comments during the comment period that would merit further review of this matter, the Agency intends to permit existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users to be distributed, sold, or used until they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply with the EPAapproved label and labeling of the affected product.
